Mecha War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 395 Duane Halboton’s decision

On the United Earth side, not only the lunar crater base, but also the United Earth Conference on Earth became excited after receiving the news.

"That bastard Aznar! If he hadn't forcibly passed the bill to use nuclear bombs, how could ZAFT come up with something like that!"

"He's already dead! There's no point in scolding him!"

"Where are the representatives of the Atlantic Federation? Why don't you come to the meeting?"

"Aznael is dead, and the Atlantic Federation is in chaos. Haha, those bastards from [Blue Cosmos] are still thinking about how to fight for power and become the next leader of the alliance."

"A bunch of idiots! Can't you see the threat above your head? Are they still fighting among themselves!?"

"We can't just let it go! Artemis can't be destroyed in vain!" The person who said this was the representative of the Eurasian Federation. The reason why the Eurasian Federation can firmly occupy the second position in the Earth Federation is that, in addition to the Atlantic Federation, In addition to their loyal doglegs, relying on their possession of Artemis, they are the only country in the Earth Union that has a cosmic fortress.

Now the master is in civil strife, Artemis is gone, and both of them are gone. The Eurasian Federation's status within the Earth Federation has plummeted, and it is impossible to swallow this sigh of relief.

"Calm down, Representative Joseph, anger can't solve anything!"

"You tell me to calm down? How can I calm down? When ZAFT's artillery fire hits us, it will be too late to worry!"

"PLANT sent a request for peace talks..."

"We will never agree! We must never let the adjusters step on our heads!"

Although there are no people from [Blue Cosmos] present, and they don’t hate the adjusters that much, they will not allow the adjusters to step on their heads and treat natural people as slaves.

"So we must fight back! Immediately! Immediately! There is a huge fleet at the crater base, send it out immediately!"

"The supreme commander, General Sutherland, has been killed..."

"Who is the highest-ranking person in the crater base now?"

"Duane Halboton..."

When Duane Halbaton was mentioned, everyone was silent. If it were anyone else, just push him up. But Duane Halboton was an exception. He had been suppressed within the Atlantic Federation. Although he was very capable, he was not allowed to Reuse, pushing him up at this time will not only be beneficial to the war situation, but also to the Earth Alliance. After all, there are still a few people who like [Blue Cosmos].

But they also have concerns, that is, will the Atlantic Federation settle its scores after settling down? The crippled Atlantic Federation will not make other forces afraid, but in the event of a conflict, both sides will definitely suffer losses.

"Promote him and let him act as the commander-in-chief of the crater base." The representative of the East Asia Republic suggested, "I know what everyone here is worried about, but the situation waits for no one. Even if the Atlantic Federation settles accounts after the fall, it must still be in this war. Let’s talk about it after victory, right?”

"……agree."

"agree."

"agree."

…

"Well, then it's decided. According to the previous report, the 3rd and 4th mobile fleets have already set off. Telegraph Halbarton and convey the appointment to him. At the same time, he must destroy the ZAFT weapon at all costs! "

…

Duane Halboton himself is under semi-house arrest in the crater base. Although he still controls his own troops, since they have not been replenished, there are only ten battleships left, and they are not equipped with MS troops, so they are still using [ Mobius].

Moreover, around the Eighth Fleet, there is a fully equipped mobile fleet on standby not far away at any time, and it is being watched closely.

But at this time, Duane Halboton suddenly received a message from Earth Headquarters, telling him that he was now acting as the commander-in-chief of the Lunar Crater Base, which made him feel like he had finally waited for this day.

Duane Halboton immediately contacted the command headquarters. After confirming the authenticity of this appointment, he immediately directed the remaining fleet to return to the base. The battleships could not be replenished for a while, but the MS troops could still be deployed.

"Replenish quickly! The 5th and 6th mobile fleets are on board and on standby. When my fleet completes the supplies, it will set sail immediately!"

"learn!"

"Telegram the 3rd and 4th mobile fleets to disperse immediately and march from the A98 and G25 directions to avoid being wiped out by enemy weapons!"

"learn!"

"Gentlemen, this battle is related to the future of the earth. I don't care what you thought of me before, but I remind you not to have any bad thoughts. Otherwise, don't blame me for enforcing military law. Do you understand!?"

"clear!"

"Very good, speed up the supply. After we set off, everyone will evacuate the crater base and be escorted by the 9th Mobile Fleet!"

"General Halbaton! This..." Everyone in the command center was stunned. They didn't know why Duane Halbaton would give the order to retreat. This is the headquarters of the United Earth's Space Force, which costs countless money, and Why abandon this base when it is so far away from the front line?

"Obey the order! Execute the retreat procedures, otherwise ZAFT's artillery fire will come and everyone will die!"

"...Understood!" XN

Everyone was convinced. Duane Halbaton had already considered that they would not have time to destroy ZAFT's Genesis, and surrender was even more impossible. If Genesis' attack came to this base, they would all die. Duane Halbaton was Saving their lives.

Just as Duane Halboton was about to leave the headquarters and return to the flagship Menelaus to prepare for sailing, CIC reported to him in a panic: "The 3rd and 4th mobile fleets encountered the Archangel at coordinates S05! There is also an unknown battleship with us!”

"What!? Report the details!"

"The situation is unknown, but a battle has occurred!"

"How could it be..." Duane Halbaton was stunned. When he mentioned the Archangel, he thought of Malu and others, who were once his favorite students. He also heard about the incident in Alaska. The Archangel joined Orb. He also heard about the incident. To be honest, he didn't blame Ma Liu. After all, he would have to defect in that situation.

Moreover, with Orb's words, Duane Halbaton believed that everyone on the Archangel would be reused and live a better life, but it was a pity that they might not have the chance to see them again in this life.

As a result, they met again as enemies, which made Duane Halboton sigh.

While feeling emotional, I also wondered why the Archangel came to hinder them? Could it be that Malu couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be if Genesis opened fire on the moon and on the earth?

Even if she couldn't think of it, Yang Hui couldn't... wait, Yang Hui! There are only two ships!

"Are you sure that the only ones blocking the 3rd and 4th mobile fleets are the Archangel and another unknown warship? No third ship appeared?"

"Yes, it is."

"Can the other battleship be identified?"

"None...cannot confirm, but the database can confirm the existence of four mobile suits: freedom, justice, rebirth, and covenant."

"Freedom, justice, rebirth, covenant...that's right! It must be like this!"

Duane Halbaton figured it out. Although he was under semi-house arrest, he was not blind to what was going on outside the window. He had his own intelligence channels and had a certain understanding of the outside world, not to mention that Wang Liumei was still Maintained secret contact with him.

He knew that Yang Hui's special mobile suit was called Dawn Gundam, and that his companions' three Gundams were named Energizer, Cherubian, and De Angel. He also knew that the four MSs of the ZAFT army were Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam, Rebirth Gundam, and Covenant. Gundam.

But now, only two of the three warships have appeared, and one is missing. With such a huge difference in numbers, Yang Hui, Setsuna, Lyle, Tieria and others are missing, so...

"They want to go deep into PLANT with a single ship!"

After figuring this out, Duane Halboton immediately issued a new order: "The 3rd and 4th Fleets maintain their formation and retreat, and the 5th and 6th Mobile Fleets set sail immediately to meet them at coordinates G11!"

"Huh? Retreat?" Everyone was stunned again.

"That's right! Fall back, conserve your strength, and when the 5th and 6th fleets arrive, rush through their obstruction in one go!"

"Understood...understood."

"Also, seal all nuclear bombs and do not allow them to be used again."

"This! General! This is not possible! Without nuclear bombs, how can we compete with ZAFT!?"

"There were no nuclear bombs before. Were we afraid of them?"

"this……"

"Or are you planning to let the tragedy of [Julius 7] or Artemis happen again?"

"But, ZAFT has nuclear weapons..."

"Believe me, it can't fire a second shot." Duane Halboton said firmly to everyone.

"……learn!"

The reason why Duane Halpatton ordered the nuclear bombs to be sealed and not allowed to be used was that, firstly, he had no good opinion of nuclear weapons. Lifting the ban was fine, but it could only be used as a deterrent. Once used, it would be a disaster for all mankind; secondly, he Already knowing what Yang Hui planned to do, he was betting that Yang Hui could successfully destroy Genesis.

This is also a last resort. The target of the Earth's military fleet is too big. It is impossible to secretly sneak into PLANT to destroy Genesis and attack PLANT from the moon. The large fleet must overcome the double defenses of Boyaz Fortress and Yakin Duwe. , it is difficult to complete in time, and the troops are even tighter.

Therefore, Duane Halboton decided to cooperate with Yang Hui's actions and organize the fleet to attack the Boyaz Fortress. Firstly, using the Boyaz Fortress as a shield, the ZAFT army did not dare to launch Genesis at the main fleet; secondly, it was used as a shield for Yang Hui's actions. Strive for more opportunities to contain the defenders of Boyaz Fortress, and even part of Yakin Duwe's defensive troops.

After giving the order, Duane Halboton returned to the Menelaus, returned to his room, locked the door, took out the secret communicator and sent a message to the other party to tell him his thoughts.

He didn't know whether the other party would receive it or what he would do if he received it, but he had done everything he could, and the next step was up to man.

"I hope it's too late, Yang Hui. The earth... humanity... depends on you."
