Chapter 127 What Can I Do to Save Your Eighth Fleet?
Instead of following the wise general to the bridge, he came to Wang Hu's room.
Li Chengzhi recalled Halbarton's performance in the hangar.
He said to Wang Hu, "At the beginning, Halberdon did not decide to use our military equipment."
"I made this decision after I saw the cockpit of the Zeta Gundam."
"Even the initial mention of the Artemis Fortress was also a prelude to the later negotiations with us and our army."
"Yes." Wang Hu nodded and agreed with his friend's opinion. "That's why he deserves the title of wise general."
"Halbottom your reputation and find a reason to seize our Zeta Gundam here, just like we did at Artemis Fortress."
"The shameless idiots of the Atlantic Federation Army will definitely support him with all their strength. At the same time, Halbottom, who did such a thing, will be truly regarded as a companion by those idiots."
"For Halbert's personal career and his reputation within the Atlantic Federation Army, detaining the Z Gundam will do him all good and no harm."
"On the contrary, it would be a common sense mistake to clearly support the East Asian Army's MS and make it the standard equipment of the Joint Army."
"Let him die?"
Both people in the room knew the reason, so Li Chengzhi didn't say any more nonsense to express his admiration for Halberton.
Instead, he asked this question directly.
After all, if what Wang Hu told me before was true, everything that was supposed to happen in this world was true.
Then the Eighth Fleet in low-Earth orbit will become history.
Even though this world has become stronger because of the rise of East Asia, and now there are super ace cards like Wang Hu and Z Gundam here.
In addition, Cruze was repeatedly defeated by his good friend Wang Hu.
This is used to belittle the other party and make them think that the masked man is no longer dangerous.
People who have such thoughts are either stupid or bad!
Li Chengzhi put himself in the enemy Cruze's position and thought about it from his own perspective.
Once we really make up our minds to raid the Eighth Fleet, we will defeat it just like in the original history.
Li Chengzhi could come up with several plans himself, after all, Wang Hu only had one Z Gundam.
Overall, the Eighth Fleet has not been substantially strengthened compared to the same period.
But the enemy ZAFT army, currently hiding somewhere unknown, is actually several times stronger.
"Fighting to the death may not have any effect." Wang Hu was also thinking about his friend's opinion.
Halberton, who does not look like an Atlantic man in terms of the overall situation, is a wise general who has clearly stood on the side of East Asia.
Although he was unpopular among the upper echelons of the Atlantic Federation Army, he unexpectedly received support from a considerable number of traditional generals, officers and soldiers at the bottom.
During this period of time, the main force of the Atlantic Federation Army had not yet been baptized by the Adjuster Genesis.
Unlike the Second World War, when they completely became Blue Cosmos's yes-man, there are still many targets to fight for within the Atlantic Federation Army today.
"In your memory, the reason why the performance of the Allied Forces in World War II was so poor was because of this." Li Chengzhi stared at Wang Hu and said slowly.
"Halbottom's death was one reason. After his death as the standard bearer of reason in the Atlantic Federation Army, the idiots at the top lost their checks and balances and began to act recklessly."
"Another reason is that Genesis killed too many of the Atlantic Federation's truly elite veterans. In order to rebuild its military strength, Blue Cosmos took the opportunity to cram in countless supporters."
"So Halbadon cannot die."
It was a mistake to think that Wang Hu said that a fight to the death would not change the outcome because his friend wanted to prove that the information he provided about the future was accurate.
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but increase the stakes in this way.
"Huh?" Wang Hu looked up at his friend who was staring at him. After a quick thought, he guessed that the other party had misunderstood him.
"If Cruze attacks the Eighth Fleet, what method will he most likely choose?" Wang Hu asked without directly stating his plan.
As the saying goes, one person's shortcomings are often surpassed by two others', he wanted to hear his friend's tactical arrangements.
"The enemy troops are elite troops drawn from the garrison PLANT homeland." Li Chengzhi thought for a while and shared his method with his friends for reference.
"During the last advance team, your Zeta Gundam was making its debut, and the enemy didn't know the performance of the Zeta Gundam and was caught off guard by you."
"But just as the enemy has now figured out how to deal with your Exaxus, Cruze will also be able to devise tactics against your Zeta Gundam in the next battle."
"This way, your deterrent power will be contained, and the rest of the enemy's forces will be able to penetrate the Eighth Fleet with ease."
Yes, Wang Hu also thought so. If Cruze led his team to stop him, it would not be difficult for the enemy to take down the entire Eighth Fleet with the four Gundams and the large MS force.
In the original history, Cruze took two warships and defeated Halberton, and even Cruze himself did not go out in person.
Now the same logic applies. Will it become more difficult just because there is one more self?
You must know that there are 11 warships on the opposite side now!
"So do you have any good idea?" Wang Hu spread his hands and threw this difficult question back to Li Chengzhi.
"This" his expression froze. Li Chengzhi also knew that the current situation was not easy to solve, but Wang Hu always gave people the feeling of being omnipotent.
Could it be that Wang Hu has no solution?
After saying so much, Wang Hu still can't protect a Halberdun?
"Heh." Wang Hu's laughter was not very pleasant, and a warm look appeared on Li Chengzhi's face.
However, just when Li Chengzhi occasionally wanted to get angry, Wang Hu pushed the door and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Li Chengzhi shouted as he chased after Wang Hu.
Without replying, Wang Hu just waved his hand with his back to him and walked away on his own.
At the same time, on the bridge of the Archangel, Halberton told Marlu and the others about his considerations.
From the perspective of a high-ranking officer of the Allied Forces, Halbertson carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and our own situation.
It also pointed out the power struggle within the United Army, especially the infiltration of the Atlantic Federation Army by the Blue Cosmos. After listening to the admiral's love for the United Army and natural people, he made such a difficult decision and paid such a great sacrifice. I admire his selflessness and his noble character.
Needless to say, the loyalty of Malu and others was maxed out.
"Admiral Halberdon, we will definitely unite around you and resolutely fight against the unhealthy trends in the coalition army to the end."
Finally, as the representative of everyone, Malu expressed his determination to the admiral.
Looking at the people in front of him with satisfaction, Halberton wanted this effect.
As a man who was able to reach the rank of senior general, he naturally had no problems with his moral character, and what he said to Mariu and the others was sincere.
But if you think he is an honest and kind person, you are very wrong.
Halberton is a person who clearly knows his position and base!
Just when he was about to speak and consolidate the loyalty of Maru and the others.
"Squeak." The door of the bridge suddenly opened, and Wang Hu, who now seemed selfish and only stood on the side of the East Asian Army in the eyes of Malu and the others, walked in.
Looking at Wang Hu, whose face was so hideous due to psychological reasons, none of the people in Maliu could put on a good face.
Everyone looked at him with a reproachful look.
That's amazing! Wang Hu took a look at the expressions of the crowd and felt a little more respect for the old but strong guy.
It was obvious that before Halberdon arrived, all the people on the Archangel fell under the feet of my military record and prestige.
There is definitely no such thing as mindless and 100% obedience, but it does appear to be basically obedient.
But it's only been a few minutes and these guys dare to bare their teeth at me?
"Captain Wang Hu, what brings you here for?"
Malu acted as Halberton's spokesperson, and she asked Wang Hu in a calm tone.
"I want to talk to the admiral alone." With a slight smile, Wang Hu directly invited Halberton.
"Oh." Halbottom was slightly surprised, looking at Wang Hu who directly expressed his desire to talk to him privately.
He was very curious about what the other party wanted to say, so he waved his hands at Malu and the others who were reluctant for Wang Hu to contact them privately, and asked them to go out first.
After Malu and the others left with a bit of resistance and worry on their faces, Halberton looked at Wang Hu leisurely and signaled to him that he could speak.
"I'm here to save the lives of all the members of the Eighth Fleet."
The first words he said were very shocking, and Wang Hu was willing to scare people to death without any compensation.
"The life of the Eighth Fleet?" Halberton is not a fool, how could he be frightened by Wang Hu's words.
"You mean Team Cruze who were chasing the Archangel?"
He had already learned about this from the advance team, which was one of the reasons why Halberdun changed his decision.
Known as a wise general, he actually knew very well that his Eighth Fleet could not defeat the powerful Cruze Team at that time.
There is a powerful enemy at the doorstep, and he and Wang Hu are courting death because of the internal strife caused by the Z Gundam.
Look, isn’t Wang Hu coming here by himself?
Take the initiative to help this admiral solve his problems.
Everything is in my hands!
As expected, he was not an honest man. Wang Hu only needed to look at the expression of Admiral Halberdon opposite him to know that the other party might have already thought of what he was thinking.
It's just waiting for me to speak.
I made a mistake and underestimated others.
But in order to save Halberton and the entire Eighth Fleet, Wang Hu spoke slowly.
"Admiral, I think."
"Captain Cruze, I am very disappointed in you."
Hiding on the Vesalius outside the Eighth Fleet's reconnaissance cordon, Cruze arranged for a small space commuter ship to send Lacus away.
Then, in his room, he received a call from Patrick, the chief of the ZAFT army.
He didn't even have the hypocritical courtesy in his opening remarks, and he didn't care at all that Cruze had saved his daughter-in-law.
Patrick started to scold Captain Cruze harshly, but it wasn't Patrick's fault.
Even Cruze himself, who was being scolded, knew that it was already a good thing that the person in front of him was just scolding him.
He did not lose all his positions and was not called back to his homeland, but was able to continue leading troops outside.
I guess Mr. Chairman is also under a lot of pressure.
"Kruze, in order to deal with the United Army, especially the East Asian Army, the mainland is conducting a larger-scale recruitment."
"Also, in preparation for the cut-throat operation, I don't want to see you lose any more of ZAFT's precious military strength."
Considering that the landing operation was not completely successful, Patrick had the idea of asking Cruze to bring the troops back.
After all, the army Cruze is now leading is the local garrison, and his previous battles were a complete loss.
If he failed again, Patrick wouldn't know how to explain it to him at the council meeting.
How come Cruze, a military idol who used to have smooth sailing, has fallen to such a state?
In the local area, people have thrown rotten eggs at Cruze’s propaganda posters!
"Chairman Patrick." Cruze was a little worried in his heart, worried that he would be left out, but when he heard the news of large-scale conscription in the mainland.
He became excited. You know, his ambition is not to let the adjusters dominate the world, but
