Chapter 318: Meals prepared for guests from afar
Like Manekin on the ground, even General Ben, who leads the space fleet, faces more problems than Manekin in the ground command center.
There is an old saying that goes, "If you look at the mountain, you will kill the horse."
Although the warships at the rear of the entire fleet can still see their own solar power generation systems, that definitely does not mean that this fleet is very close to the solar power generation systems.
In fact, when the communication connection with the ground and solar power generation system was lost, this fleet attempted to airdrop to the ground on an unprecedented large scale from the universe.
They have gone very far away from their starting point!
"General, what should we do now?"
The military staff officer on the bridge of the flagship stared at the general with a gloomy expression and asked.
"Let me think about it."
Waving his hand to signal the people around him to be quiet, the general looked in the direction of the solar power generation system.
Of course, what he saw was the cold metal wall, but he seemed to see the home port where the fleet set out.
And the future of AEU as a whole.
"Do you want to retreat?"
Muttering these words, the general paced anxiously under the gazes of everyone on the bridge.
Now there are only two paths before him.
One is to continue the landing operation as originally planned.
The second option is to simply withdraw the troops and return home.
But the choice between the two paths is like a heavy weight on this general's shoulders.
"What will General Manekin choose? Will he continue with the plan?"
The general continued to mutter that if the fleet he led continued to advance according to the original plan, they would then airdrop to the ground.
However, General Manekin did not follow the original plan, and the AEU troops that were airborne undoubtedly became meat buns for beating dogs.
In the same way, General Manekin was carrying out the original plan, but his side was not cooperating.
That is a disguised way of trapping the ground troops, although it is a very normal thing to keep troops in place when the enemy situation is unclear.
After returning, it can also be said that it was to protect the soldiers, even if it meant harming the ground troops given the historical origins of AEU.
You won’t receive too much criticism!
"Keep marching!"
After thinking it over, the general expressed his judgment without knowing whether the ground troops would cooperate with him.
He chose to continue advancing!
"General!"
Upon hearing this, a staff officer immediately spoke out in surprise.
"It is unclear whether the ground forces will proceed as planned if we..."
"Of course I know."
With a powerful wave of his hand, it looked like he was swinging a sword, as if he was trying to convince his colleagues as well as himself.
"The main army will definitely cooperate with us. The navy fleet has already launched operations before we advance."
"If we withdraw at this time, or if General Manekin withdraws."
"It seems that we have preserved the manpower on the ground and the main force in the universe, but think about it!"
"In order to cooperate with the sniper offensive in the east, the Pineapple Sea and Dizhong Sea fleets have deployed their main forces."
"Once they are lost, and the navy fleets protecting the two wings of the Manekin Line are lost, what will be the result?"
"this!"
In fact, many officers present had not failed to think of this. As the general said, the naval fleets on both sides of the ocean in this battle were all elite.
If these two main fleets were completely destroyed at the hands of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, the two wings of the Manekin Line of Defense would be left empty and the mistakes of history would be repeated.
It’s just that in the past history, the enemy rushed out from the mountains and swamps, bypassed the defense line of that time and attacked Li directly.
Now it is rushing out from the ocean on both sides, once again showing that the tower is still there.
To be honest, for the officials who are in charge of the center behind the ground defense line, whether they are generals or soldiers on the front line.
None of them would have much faith in those people.
"Now, whether we advance or retreat, we are all jumping into a cesspool. It's the same whether we advance or retreat."
"Then why not hold your nose and choose a more heroic way to jump."
A bitter smile appeared on his face. The general's words were rough but his logic was not.
"understood."
Now that things had come to this, the other officers stopped offering any opinions.
Then they passed on the general's theory of jumping into the cesspool exactly as it was to every ship in the fleet.
"Jumping into the pit?"
After receiving such an order, some warship officers were unwilling but could not think of a better metaphor.
So, either out of reluctance or out of a sense of military honor, they urged their subordinates to continue moving towards the airborne coordinates as planned.
Naturally, there are brave people and there are also some people who fear death. Regarding the theory of jumping into the cesspool, those who are afraid choose to retreat before jumping.
Fortunately, compared with the entire fleet, the number of those who ran away was still small.
This general just let him do whatever he wanted. After all, it will be difficult to lead the team if the people's morale is low.
"The AEU fleet is quite brave."
The Human Revolutionary Alliance space fleet hidden at the airborne coordinate point selected by the AEU fleet rushed over from the CE world as subsequent supplementary forces.
Now that the three little strong men have successfully cut off the previous human-enhancing potion, they sit in their own bodies and watch the real-time images transmitted from the command center on the screen.
"It's a little stronger than the Eurasian Federation over there."
Krott echoed Shani's assessment and then asked.
"Oluga, what is our mission?"
"what?"
With an impatient look on his face, which was probably the norm when they were together, Oluga replied with a stern expression and tone.
"When the light appears, we will rush out and annihilate them."
"Listen carefully, this is our first appearance as the East Asian Army."
"Don't make any mistakes for me, otherwise it will be hard to explain to Brother Wang Hu."
"Understood, understood."
The other two had expressions of disapproval on their faces, having fought with the Adjuster and never lost.
How could we possibly lose to the AEU army of this world here?
Moreover!
I switched the perspective and looked at the huge cosmic fortress behind me that looked like an anchor and also like a chess piece.
The three of them felt that they had prepared so carefully, what if they all lost?
Unless a big brother named Wang Hu also jumps out on the opposite side!
"The fortress's city-breaking cannons are charged to 13 percent. The total of positron city-breaking cannons are expected to be in critical condition at percent."
At the same time, in the fortress called Damocles, Lelouch, who was in the command center, also heard good news. The fortress brought from the C world has been fully prepared and equipped with the strongest single weapon in the CE world - the positron city-breaking cannon.
It also matches this fortress perfectly.
"Hehe, if Wang Hu didn't disagree, using the Goddess of Love would have ended the battle even faster."
He ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the energy value of the city-breaking cannon at all times, and held the scepter in his hand to activate the Goddess of Love launcher.
Lelouch sneered as he watched the clueless AEU fleet gradually enter the bombardment range.
"But the complementarity of multiple worlds has indeed made up for many, many problems."
"For example, this Damocles, if it were in my world, it would have been equipped with the Mirage System."
“Who knows, maybe that bastard Schneizel will turn the tables!”
While stroking the scepter, Lelouch thought of the final battle in his world. With the support of the CE world, the Flower Empire definitely has an advantage in individual weapons.
Even Nina, the female scientist who developed the Goddess of Love, was brought to the CE world first, but it is not known whether it was the corrective force of history or the restraining force of the C world.
In the end, his dear second brother finally came up with a powerful weapon, the Goddess of Love, and almost turned the tables and defeated the coalition forces under his command.
Thanks to Zhang Hong and He Juntu.
"Commander-in-Chief Lelouch!"
While Lelouch was still lost in his own world, an officer came over and reported.
"The enemy AEU fleet has entered the firing range of our city-breaking artillery. Should we open fire now?"
"Fire."
Lelouch, whose memories were interrupted, immediately waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to welcome the AEU fleet properly.
Immediately following Lelouch's order, the invisibility state of the Mirage System was lifted.
A fortress as big as a mountain appeared in front of the AEU fleet.
Then, before the panicked officers and soldiers in the AEU fleet could calm down,
Thirteen thick red light beams shot straight forward.
The power of the city-breaking cannon certainly cannot compare to the brilliance of the Adjuster Genesis.
However, the warships on the direct attack route, especially those so-called space battleships in this world, are actually more like troop transport ships.
It was indeed unable to withstand the power of the city-breaking cannon.
The bombardment of Damorix's siege cannon easily plowed thirteen trenches in the AEU fleet.
All the warships along the way were either cut off from the head or had most of their hulls destroyed.
The mobile suits and soldiers inside the battleship that followed were affected by the air pressure in the vacuum environment of space and didn't even have time to scream.
They were sucked out of the battleship and became eternal specimens in the universe.
"We've been ambushed. This is a trap!"
His hands and feet were shaking. The general who gave the order to jump into the pit was feeling frustrated and regretful.
It’s not that he is afraid of death, but now he can finally be sure that all his actions are under the control of the People's Revolutionary League.
"It's over, everything is over."
Nowadays, even an ordinary soldier can imagine that there will be ambushes in the universe.
So how much better are the other friendly forces on the ground?
"The Space Army is finished, the Navy Fleet is finished, and the main fleet led by General Manekin is also finished!"
“AEU, AEU!”
As I kept shouting out the name of my country, everything went dark before my eyes.
Compared with the well-prepared People's Revolutionary League in front of us, what has our own AEU been doing all these years?
Didn’t you see it!
His eyes were filled with fear and his lips couldn't stop trembling and his teeth chattered.
This general feels as if he is standing naked on the ice fields of the North and South Poles, looking at the huge fortress that suddenly appears from the dark curtain of the universe.
And the huge fleet surrounding the fortress is completely different from their own. It is a fleet designed and manufactured for space warfare.
"People's Revolutionary League, People's Revolutionary League!"
After a few more roars, facing the foreseeable tragic end, the general suddenly spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood from the corner of his mouth in front of everyone.
"General!"
Suddenly, there was chaos on the bridge of the flagship, and everyone saw their own general was so angry that he vomited blood.
Quite a number of officers on the scene rushed over, supported their generals and asked them another round of questions.
"Fight or surrender?"
After these words were spoken, the general, who had originally thought that these officers were concerned about him and the future of AEU, felt dizzy again.
The iron tower is still there!
The frequency of the finger movement was so high that the general was unable to utter a word as he pointed at the people around him.
But the AEU here was in chaos, and under the attack of the Damocles city-breaking cannon, they didn't know whether to fight or surrender.
The space army led by Lelouch will not show mercy, and the city-breaking cannons on the fortress continue to charge.
At the same time, the rest of the East Asian main fleet came from the CE world, accompanying the Damocles Fortress.
Led by the Qin Shi Huang-class space battleship, it can really be described as a thousand cannons firing at the same time.
The ultra-long-range cross-fire bombardment, which was practiced on the battlefield of Yakin Duwei, caught the AEU army, which was accustomed to relying on MS to resolve battles, off guard again.
The salvo of 13 city-destroying cannons was certainly powerful, but the firepower coverage of the entire fleet was even more lethal.
In the eyes of this general who had lost all hope, this cross-fire by the enemy had silenced at least one-third of the warships.
And this was not the end. In his eyes, the People's Revolutionary Alliance was determined to kill them all. The bombardment of the beam cannons, one wave higher than the other, had never stopped since the beginning.
Correspondingly, having not received unified dispatch from the flagship for a long time and unwilling to passively take the beating and wait to be sunk, the rest of the warships of the AEU space fleet also began to spontaneously carry out self-rescue actions.
Some of them released their MS and maneuvered at full speed to rush towards the warships of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.
Some warships retreated and used their charging friendly forces as scapegoats, just to protect themselves.
In short, the AEU fleet at the scene was as chaotic as boiling porridge, and it was just about to be burned into charcoal by fire.
"It's our turn."
The three little strong men, who were still somewhat uncomfortable with the Adjuster's Zaku, took the lead.
On the side of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, the Zaku and space-type iron men began to move to the front line like a black mass of crows.
Cooperating with the bombardment of the battleships behind them, they vowed to destroy the AEU's cosmic forces in one fell swoop.
"Hahaha, interesting and interesting!"
Perhaps the only one in AEU who is not afraid of the current scene is Sashes.
Should we say he was lucky or unlucky? From beginning to end, the warship he was on did not suffer any damage at all.
Moreover, the captain of that battleship was a diehard, so he had the opportunity to fight against the People's Revolutionary Alliance's space forces.
He was driving the machine he had stolen from Patrick and holding a gun, with Patrick beside him who wanted to compete with him again.
A battle that could be considered a fight between dragons and tigers, or perhaps a one-sided beating, is about to take place.
