Chapter 3: War always starts when you are not happy
The Drake-class frigate is 130 meters in length and is one of the main ship types that currently constitute the three major forces of the United Forces.
Its size is quite impressive, but as a frigate, it not only has poor armor but also poor firepower.
There was no way. Initially, based on the tactical strategy at the time, the main function of the Drake-class battleship itself was only air defense.
Therefore, this type of battleship was built for this purpose as part of the new military technology reform initiated by the ZAFT army.
Helplessly, they were reduced to a situation where only the torpedoes on their own ships could cause effective killing.
In addition, it is also because of the design positioning when this type of battleship was originally built, and in the subsequent joint forces upgrade plan.
Due to the internal structure of this type of battleship, the only option is to fix the MS to the deck with steel cables.
This shows how small the hangar inside that stores Mobius is.
Compared to the current ZAFT army's main weapon MS Gold.
Just like the Drake-class battleship, the Mobius produced by the United Army
"It's just a transitional consumable to buy time for the United Army Headquarters to update their weapons."
Wang Hu, who was in the cockpit of Mobius, held the joystick with both hands and said lightly.
This is not to look down on Mobius, it is just a matter of fact.
Currently, the only Allied Forces' MS that can compete with the ZAFT MS King in the universe is the upgraded model of Mobius, the Mobius Zero.
However, the Mobius Zero, which is equipped with four wire-controlled bomb pods, requires very high driving skills.
In particular, they must possess good spatial perception abilities. Only a dozen people were selected from the entire coalition army.
"And even these dozen or so-called elites were selected."
Feeling the thrust brought by the magnetic catapult device that ejected Mobius from the Kangji, a hint of unspeakable mockery emerged on Wang Hu's face under his helmet.
"The elites, who were of mixed quality, along with the so-called Third Fleet assigned to them, were also defeated by the coordinators in the previous battle of Endymion Crater on the moon."
"Except for one Mu, who was required by politics and indeed won five gold medals, thus earning the title of Endymion's Eagle."
"The coalition forces have no record to show for themselves!"
While talking to himself, Wang Hu quickly drove his fighter plane to catch up with his formation.
Our army is a Nelson-class cruiser, equipped with a formation of three Drake-class frigates.
The Laurasia-class cruiser that faced the ZAET army seemed to be aggressive, but in fact its future was uncertain.
On paper, the number of battleships is four to one, and in terms of mobile weapons, the coordinator's battleship can carry a maximum of six MS.
Wang Hu looked back casually and saw that the number of Mobius on his side was several times that of the enemy.
According to an old historian, the advantage lies with me.
Can.
"Damn it, Li Hongxin was beaten to death!"
"Shut up, Hu Chaoxuan is dead too!"
As soon as they came into contact with the enemy, the shouts of people around them were heard in the communication of Wang Hu Mobius fighter.
A good start, a big good start.
But it's not from our side, but from the enemy.
MS King, which flew out from the Coordinator's battleship in the distance, scored the first victory. After a burst of shooting, two fighters in its own Mobius fleet turned into debris in the starry sky.
Undoubtedly, such a result cast a shadow on the hearts of the Mobius pilots, who were already under unprecedented psychological pressure due to their poor performance.
"Why panic? Let's rush over and get close to the opponent and make the most of our cooperation."
At the critical moment, Yang Wei, the commander of the fighter formation to which Wang Hu belonged, spoke.
In the communications with the fighter formation under his command, he loudly encouraged the people.
"The coordinator is also a human being. If he gets shot, he will die. The worst that can happen is that one life is exchanged for another."
"We are soldiers, soldiers of East Asia, with our motherland behind us, and we have no way to retreat."
"Since we are going to die, let's choose between us and the people behind us. Feel your heart and decide which one to choose." After saying this, Yang Wei did not wait for the others to answer, or perhaps he never thought about hearing the answer from his subordinates.
This battlefield veteran who had survived several battles stepped on the pedal and rushed out with his wingman without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, it was not just Yang Wei, but also the rest of the Mobius formation.
The veterans who served as formation commanders gave the best interpretation of being a soldier through their actual actions.
The fighter plane's tail flame became thick and big, symbolizing their determination, and then the fighter plane cut through the darkness of the universe like a sharp sword.
Keep moving forward and live towards death.
The veterans use their pride to show the younger generations their way forward.
"let's go!"
Led by the veterans, the East Asian soldiers already have firm beliefs.
In an instant, the low morale rose again, and Mobius stepped on the accelerator to the maximum.
The fighter group is the first wave of the fleet to encounter the enemy, and the battle between Mobius and King is about to break out.
However, willpower can sometimes defeat advanced weapons, but there are also times when it is beyond human power.
Even though the veterans are brave and fearless, the fighting spirit of the younger generation is unparalleled in the world.
"Hehehe, stupid natural man."
The coordinator driving the Jin controlled the machine gun held in the palm of the giant humanoid weapon.
The optical sight firmly locked onto Mobius as he moved up and down and performed various maneuvers.
If we ignore the effect of the neutron jammer on the radar, this is the combat system that the ZAFT military coordinators prefer.
Compared with the Joint Forces that have various radar aiming aids and a series of complete tactical systems, it is just a piece of trash.
But it can be used under certain conditions, such as on today's battlefield dominated by neutron jammers.
The relatively backward technology such as the optical aiming system has become the coordinator's trump card, greatly compensating for the coordinator's own weak military skills.
Further turning their already strong physical fitness into an advantage.
"Ping, ping, ping."
The sound of simulated gunfire came from the speakers in Jin's cockpit, and the coordinator looked on with delight as Mobius, who he had aimed at, was blown into a ball of fire.
His face flushed as he listened attentively to the sound of the simulated explosion echoing in the cabin.
"Hahaha, this is for the sacrifices on Junius 7, you uncivilized natural people."
"For the sake of my fellow countrymen who have passed away, I will send you all to hell, so as to comfort the souls of my fellow countrymen who have passed away!"
While he was speaking, he easily changed direction a few times and dodged the Mobius fighter that was trying to attack him.
MS Jin turned nimbly, swinging his arms slightly, and relying on the coordinator's excellent physical fitness, he fired several shots in succession.
It was like shooting turkeys, and he shot down several Mobius planes that came forward one after another.
And he was not the only one who had such an outstanding performance, all six golden planes on the battlefield had the same performance.
In a short period of time, from the time the Mobius fleet engaged the enemy to now, the fleet of fighters that was numerous when it first left the battleship has now become sparse.
Judging from the looks of it, it is already unable to stop the four warships of the ZAFT military MS Jin from approaching the core of the fleet.
Seeing their own mobile weapons performing as expected, the Coordinator-class battleships that lagged behind decisively pressed forward.
Just as Jin no longer wanted to get entangled with the few Mobius, he wanted to change his taste and fight some battleships.
When adding some achievements to your own record of merit.
This was anticipated, but Wang Hu, who was afraid of gossip, controlled Mobius and attacked head-on.
