Chapter 20 They saw hope

"Natural man, the East Asian Army actually!"

Since the situation of the East Asian Army, as the attacking party, is developing in a good direction.

Based on this conclusion of equality, the commander of the ZAFT army was naturally not in such a good mood.

Whether it is the left wing of the ZAFT army, which was originally weak in manpower and was being broken through by the defenders of the Nova Resource Satellite.

Or the Central Fleet which was trying hard to break through the East Asian Army's blocking forces on the periphery.

The moods of several commanders above them fluctuated greatly.

"Captain, it's true that even a centipede is still alive even after its death. After all, they are a veteran force. The East Asian Army is indeed not to be underestimated."

On the flagship of the Central Fleet, the adjutant spoke to his commander.

Ever since receiving the battle report from the left-wing fleet, he and the commander have been frowning.

"Yeah." Nodding, the coordinator captain looked at the red and blue arrows on the battlefield with melancholy.

"Don't underestimate the East Asian Army. I didn't expect that at this time, the other side would still have a hero who could turn the tide."

"Come and see." The coordinator captain pointed at the holographic tactical platform.

"The intention of our old friend is very clear. He is replacing the original garrison troops with the newly arrived reinforcements."

"They are trying to gather superior forces to try to take down our left wing."

"This will shock us, so that we can consider the current situation and retreat when we see difficulty."

"Yes." The adjutant agreed.

"This battle is a gentleman's battle. If we win, we can control this area."

"Lose. Given the mobilization power of the East Asian Army, Chairman Patrick may not be able to withstand the pressure from Speaker Kulain."

"At that time, our biggest possibility is to retreat."

"But if this happens, our army's momentum of successive victories will be curbed, and the impact on the entire army and PLANT will be great."

"So I left the right fleet as a reserve, and prepared to use the central fleet to cooperate with the left fleet to win this war."

Looking deeply at the complicated battle situation, the coordinator captain was explaining to his adjutant and sorting out his own strategy.

"I originally thought that I had paid enough attention to the East Asian Army. After all, compared with the other two joint armies, they are the most terrifying opponent."

"But I didn't expect that the enemy who blocked our way would be so tenacious, and the left-wing fleet would not be able to bear such great pressure."

"Damn, the natural man actually has such a trump card hidden. Is it possible that beam weapons can be used on the Mobius Zero?"

"Compared with the latest MA of the natural person, Jin was actually outdone and even became an obsolete product."

"If the enemy is equipped with weapons like that on a large scale, our advantage will inevitably be minimal."

Shaking his head helplessly, the adjutant looked at his angry captain, as the deputy commander of the Central Fleet.

His mind was filled with the enemy's heroic performance on the battlefield.

A military strategist once calculated a statistic that on ancient battlefields, if an army lost 5%, it would usually collapse.

Modern armies are much better, but considering that modern armies are composed of multiple arms, generally speaking, a loss of 30% is not enough.

In fact, according to the data obtained from ZAFT's past battles with the Allied Forces.

The armies of the Eurasian Union and the Atlantic Federation did not even reach a casualty ratio of 30 percent.

The other party will collapse and retreat on its own.

But the enemy in front of you
Not to mention 50%, just look at the past battle examples that the adjutant himself had seen.

An entire small fleet was wiped out, and the enemy didn't even leave the battlefield without an order to retreat!

"Boom." Just as the two senior coordinators were lost in their own thoughts.

A loud explosion was heard from the loudspeaker on the battleship's bridge. The two men were awakened by the sound and looked up quickly.

"General, the Olga Lorasia-class battleship has been sunk!"

The intelligence officer said with tears in his eyes, his voice trembling as he clutched the headset. "What?"

The captain was stunned and full of disbelief. Originally, he had been thinking about Wang Hu's sudden rise.

Although we have made preparations to receive news of the loss of warships of the left fleet at any time.

But now it was the Central Fleet that he was personally commanding!

A battleship was lost first!
This really far exceeded his expectations.

"Has that beam-type Mobius Zero been withdrawn from the left wing battlefield?"

"Or does the Natural Human Army have more than just that one beam-type Mobius Zero?"

The general's first reaction was that Wang Hu had run here, or that a natural person had hidden more military forces.

"No, no!"

The intelligence officer stammered in response.

"After the enemy ship was severely damaged, it took advantage of our eagerness to break through the defense line and directly rammed the Olga that had advanced too far!"

"Is that really the case?"

The coordinator captain was a little dazed. In the past, when the East Asian army was in a desperate situation, they had intended to rush over and die together with their own army.

But at that time, our army strictly maintained a distance from the enemy ships and insisted on using MS to fight the enemy.

Although most of the gains were made by the MS units, the loss of battleships, which were more precious to the PLANT and ZAFT forces, was minimal.

did not expect.
"We are anxious, Captain." Seeing this, the adjutant stepped forward to comfort him.

"Please trust the Left Fleet. After all, war cannot be decided by a single MA or MS."

Having not seen the super elites that emerged in the later stages of the war, his words cannot be said to be wrong.

"Hehehe." The coordinator captain smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I know. I understand what you're saying. It's just the loss of the first battleship since the war began."

"Oh." The captain sighed heavily and thought about what happened five hours ago.

The Lorasia-class battleship that was once sent out in an attempt to bypass the L4 colony satellite area for deterrence.

I thought of the resolute Captain Taylor of the MS Corps. It was he who took the initiative to bear all the consequences at that time. So is it my turn this time?
"Mobilize the right-wing fleet and have them join the battlefield."

After thinking it over again and again, the coordinator captain gave the order to call up the reserve team.

"Captain?" The adjutant was shocked. In his eyes, the war situation had not deteriorated to this extent?
"You don't understand." Looking at the adjutant's stunned expression, the coordinator captain said dimly.

"A new wind has already blown on the battlefield. If we cannot contain it before it fully takes shape, we will have to do something."

"Then this gust of wind will turn into a hurricane that sweeps away the coordinator's dreams."

"Come and see." After saying that, the coordinator captain pointed outside the bridge. Through the window, the flames of war that were originally far away suddenly burned in front of them in a short time.

"Look, the enemy's morale has reached its peak because of that beam-type Mobius Zero, because of the battleship that actively rammed ours."

“They see hope!”

"I understand." Looking bitterly at the war outside the window, wasn't there a time when such hope was not on the side of our army?

At this point, in order to achieve victory and to curb the boiling morale of the East Asian Army.

The coordinator's right-wing troops, which had not moved since the war began, began to mobilize and were ready to be sent into the battlefield.

"Good!" Seeing the enemy's troop movements, General Zheng in the Nova Resources Satellite shouted excitedly.

"Chief of Staff Jiang, send a message to the reinforcements in the rear."

"Let them be ready to move forward at any time."

"Hahahaha, plans are not as fast as changes. I'm going to wipe them all out!"
