Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 499: Ambush by the East Asian Republic
In the waterway from Earth to the L4 colony satellite cluster, a Nazca-class battleship is sailing in it. This battleship is the ship escorting Aslan.

To be honest, considering Aslan's current position in ZAFT, a warship escort is a bit shabby.

Perhaps considering the strength of Aslan's personal guards, Durandal used the excuse that the war situation on Earth was tense and kept most of the people loyal to Aslan on Earth.

This was the only shipload of personal guards Aslan could bring back to Armory City.

You know, in the current universe, Aslan is basically safe to go to most places. After all, Red will not do anything to Aslan, and Durandal does not dare to openly recruit people to attack Aslan in the territory controlled by ZAFT.

The exception is the L4 colony satellite cluster, which is divided into two parts by ZAFT and the East Asia Republic, each occupying half of the world, and small-scale conflicts occur every day.

So the Nazca-class ship where Aslan was located was ambushed by the fleet of the East Asian Republic as soon as it left the garbage belt around the Earth on the L4 colonial satellite cluster.

It is obvious that Aslan's whereabouts have been revealed, and the East Asian Republic of the L4 colonial satellite group has suffered a great loss at the hands of Aslan, so naturally it will not allow him to come back.

However, with Red's warning, Aslan was well prepared. When leaving the Earth's garbage belt, Aslan directly declared the entire ship on red alert, and all pilots, including his own, were on standby in the MS.

So when the East Asian Republic fleet appeared, Aslan and others attacked immediately and launched a direct counterattack against the East Asian Republic fleet.

The East Asian Republic's fleet at L4 was very familiar with Athrun's counterattack, and directly dispatched a new Gundam developed during Athrun's stay on Earth and a group of Freedom/Justice Windams.

This new Gundam of the East Asian Republic is the successor to the Blue Dragon Gundam, named Red Dragon Gundam, a machine with an extremely obvious East Asian Republic style.

The Red Dragon Gundam is 31.3 meters tall and weighs 336.5 tons. It is covered with large thrusters and gun muzzles and is a standard heavy MS.

The design of this machine was heavily influenced by the Psycho-Gundam MK III, which performed brilliantly at the end of the last war, so that all kinds of missile launchers and beam cannons are located under the full body armor.

Its fingers are the same as Galezzo in the AD universe. When the five fingers are combined, they become a large beam sword, and when separated, they become beam claws.

The legs are actually two large high-temperature cutting pliers that can cut off even PS armor instantly.

This machine also has an MA form, which can be directly transformed into tank mode in a gravity environment.

This single machine can easily match the firepower of three normal Windam teams, so it uses its absolute firepower advantage to try to suppress Immortal Justice right from the start.

Athrun did not rush forward rashly when facing the new Gundam. He was not real, so he would definitely consider the problem of what secret weapons the enemy might have to use if he got close to him.

However, Justice Windam of the Wutai East Asian Republic soon surrounded them. In order to prevent Aslan from driving his machine through the front line, someone had to engage him in close combat.

Unlike the destroyed Atlantic Federation which had completely abandoned the Justice Windham machine, the East Asian Republic had obviously sent people to train it hard.

Moreover, they were probably training hard based on Aslan's combat information, so the firepower of these five Justice Windams combined with the Red Dragon Gundam really tied up Aslan for a while, preventing him from breaking out and tearing through the enemy's front line.

Once Aslan is involved, it will be difficult for others to resist the siege of other machines from the East Asian Republic.

Even though Aslan's escort this time consisted of four Flame Tigers and two artillery-type Zaku Warriors, facing a force nearly ten times that of the East Asian Republic, their destruction was only a matter of time.

Fortunately, the existence of the EX Impulse Gundam prevented the East Asian Republic's ordinary Windam troops from quickly breaking through the defense line, so the Nazca class was not shot down within a few minutes of the start of the battle.

Seeing the critical situation, Aslan immediately gave the order:

"Everyone retreat to the garbage belt around the earth and use the terrain to engage the enemy. The battle lights here will definitely be seen by the Armory City. They will send reinforcements soon."

As soon as Aslan's order came, the captain of the Nazca-class immediately ordered the ship to return to the garbage belt around the earth. It was not easy for Aslan to advance now, but if he wanted to retreat, the East Asian Republic could not stop him, after all, the East Asian Republic had not completed the encirclement from behind.

So under the command of Athrun, the MS troops subsequently retreated into the garbage belt around the earth, but two of their Flame Tigers had already been shot down.

Moreover, the East Asian Republic would definitely not let Aslan and his men go just because they retreated to the garbage belt around the earth. Fighting encounter battles in complex terrains is what the East Asian Republic is better at, so they immediately chased in and began to raid Aslan and his men.

It has to be said that the East Asian Republic's army is very experienced in fighting in complex terrain. Their warships released a large number of puppy-sized automatic robots.

This thing can't get away from MS or battleships in the interference environment of the battlefield, but it is very useful as cannon fodder for exploring various nooks and crannies.

Although this robot is unarmed, it can fire paint bullets that can reflect specific electromagnetic waves. As long as one or two bullets hit the enemy plane, the position of this machine will be equivalent to that of the East Asian Republic machine, which will be unilaterally exposed as long as it enters a certain distance.

Therefore, in this kind of battle where the defenders will expose their positions once they use thrusters or open fire, it is very troublesome for them to encounter such small robots. It is better to use EMP bombs to clear out a large area of ​​them.

However, ZAFT's ships are not like the ships of the New Mischi Kingdom. They always have some strange special bombs on board.

As a result, the positions of Athrun's team's MS were constantly exposed, and even Athrun himself was exposed several times because he used head cannon to clear the robots.

That is to say, Aslan's skills are strong enough. In complex terrain, if there are too few enemies, he will not be able to defeat them all. If there are too many enemies, they will affect each other due to the complex terrain, which results in him being able to kill his way out every time.

But the other members of Aslan's team do not have his ability. They are only at the same level as Lunamaria in Red Clothes. They have no advantage in their machines and can easily fail if they are surrounded by two or three enemies.

Fortunately, just as Aslan had expected, a fleet soon arrived to support the troops in the armory.

Leading the way were the custom-made Flame Tiger piloted by Izak and the instant-type Zaku Phantom piloted by Diego.

When the East Asian Republic's fleet saw the ZAFT reinforcements arrive, they quickly withdrew without hesitation, because they knew that if they continued to fight, their entire fleet might be destroyed. Since the attack mission had failed, they could only retreat first.

However, at this time, the troops brought by Aslan only had one Flame Tiger with a broken left arm and one cannon-mounted Zaku Warrior, except for the Immortal Justice and EX Pulse Gundam.

The only good news is that the Nazca class did not suffer much damage.

Facing such an embarrassed Aslan, the foul-mouthed Isaac would be unreliable if he didn't mock him a few times, so after meeting Aslan, he immediately established a private chat channel and said
"Aslan, what's wrong with you? You look so miserable after not seeing you for a while. Have you been hanging out with that Orb Prime Minister for too long on Earth and your legs are weak now?"

Aslan knew that Yitzhak could not spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, so he was too lazy to argue with him and decisively ignored his teasing.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Isaac immediately got furious and was ready to make a few more sarcastic remarks.

However, Diego, who had matured a lot at this time, stepped on the brakes, otherwise Yisaac would have been in trouble. So he decisively "backstabbed" Yisaac and said with a smile
“Aslan, you don’t know that when Yitzhak heard the news of your attack, he ran faster than his date with poetry, and no one could stop him.

And when you were not around, he kept talking about Aslan, and the women in the army were all spreading stories about the two of you."

When Isaac heard Diego reveal all his secrets, his hatred shifted immediately and he yelled:

"Diego!! You brat!!!"

However, Aslan cooperated with Diego very timely to pull Yizak's anger and directly skipped the topic and said

"Isaac, Diego, please return to the ship and tell me about the situation of the Armory Colony during my absence. You didn't even set up defenses on the route I came from. Is this the work of Aofer Ram Tao?"

As soon as Aslan talked about business, Yitzhak could only hold back his anger temporarily and answer Aslan's questions.

"Tsk, you act like a leader as soon as you come back.

Aslan, we have no evidence that your whereabouts were provided by Ofer Ram Tao.

As for why your return route was not fortified, it was because the route we received was wrong.

According to the route I received, you should come out from the garbage belt around the Earth on the L3 colony satellite cluster, and then go back to the L4 colony satellite cluster from there.

Even the time is not today, but two days later. "

When Aslan heard this, he frowned and complained directly

"This route was a smokescreen route I threw out in advance. How did you receive this version?"

Isaac actually understood everything when he found out that Aslan was attacked, and he answered directly:

"What else could it be? Our Speaker wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He has felt that you are uncontrollable for a long time.

When the time comes, we will just put the blame on an insignificant communications officer and punish him severely. Then you will have nothing to say but swallow your anger. "

When Aslan heard this, he knew that this was a clear plan. If the plan succeeded and he died or was captured, he would no longer be a threat to Durandal. Even if someone in the army protested, he could slowly appease them.

If I fail and I am not in trouble, I can just find someone to take the blame. The East Asian Republic has many reasons to attack me, and I can't take advantage of this to carry out a purge.

Then Aslan continued to ask

"What about Aoife Ram Tao? Has he done anything unusual during this time in Armory City?"

When Aslan asked this, Yitzhak suddenly said unhappily
"That guy did a pretty good job overall. There were no problems in the subsequent battle with the East Asian Republic. Although his men were all weird, they were all brave and good at fighting.

Of course, they are Speaker Durandal's men, and they are always thinking about bribing the high-ranking military officers below. But from what I see, that guy shouldn't get anything.

These days, he seems to be indifferent. I heard that he will be promoted after being transferred back to his home country, and that Ingrid Trador, who is beside him, is very talented in administrative management. They may be your strong rivals in the future. "

After hearing this, Aslan nodded and felt a little relieved.

Although Red repeatedly emphasized that people like Aoife Ram Tao are coordinators with the ability to hypnotize others.

But from the communication with Isaac and Diego just now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with these two people, and all their actions are consistent with their personalities.

Although Yitzhak has a foul mouth, he is actually a very fair person.

He would acknowledge and praise the good things that Ofer Ram Tao did.

But he also made it clear that Ofer Ram Tao and himself and others were not of the same kind.

Afterwards, Yitzhak and Diego returned to the battleship with Athrun.

However, when Izak saw Lunamaria getting off the EX Impulse Gundam, he grabbed Athrun's neck and leaned over to his ear and whispered,

"That's Lunamaria Hawke, isn't she the MS pilot of the Minerva? She's from Durandal's faction, so how come she's mixed up with you? Did you try to persuade Durandal's faction to rebel when you went to Earth? Or did you use the beauty trap?"

Aslan was hooked by this familiar hook and received this familiar foul language, indicating that Yitzhak was at least not being controlled by anyone for now.

But Lunamaria was saved by Red and she couldn't tell Isaac until he took over the L4 colony satellite group again. After all, she was a guarantee given by Red.

So Aslan pushed Yitzhak away, saying that he was straight and asked his good brother not to get so close to him. Then he said

"Don't talk nonsense, I rescued her secretly, and she just followed me because she was grateful for my life-saving grace.

Moreover, she is not a direct descendant of Durandal. As a red-clothed girl, she only worked under the direct descendants of Durandal before, and she herself has no special loyalty to Durandal. "

After hearing what Aslan said, Isaac still believed it, because Aslan had good taste. The girl he was looking for had to be at least a princess. It was not convenient to discuss his ex-fiancée now, but the woman he was with now was the Prime Minister of Orb.

Although Orb is only a younger brother of the New Mischi Kingdom, it is also a country that cannot be underestimated. After the fall of the Atlantic Federation, the Dawn Society took advantage of it and took over part of its arms sales market share.

You have to know that Orb is just a small island country. With such a windfall, the country's per capita GDP is almost surpassing that of the New Misluchi Kingdom.

But in some ways Yitzhak thought more than Aslan.

As the commander of PLANT's special forces, Isaac knows the personnel within ZAFT better than Aslan.

He was already thinking at this time that Lunamaria Hawke should have a sister on the Minerva. In order to prevent the Speaker's faction from using her sister to threaten her, he had to find a way to transfer her sister away from the Minerva.
