Chapter 710 The first victory and Halboton’s plan (45)
After one blow, the ZAFT pursuit fleet chasing the Eighth Fleet and the Archangel suffered a heavy blow.
Although on the surface, this pursuit fleet still retains two-thirds of its warships, in reality, the combat effectiveness of this ZAFT pursuit fleet has fallen below the limit for continued operations.
There are only two or three kittens in the MS unit that can contain Dendrobium Lan. Although the remaining battleships can jointly create a strong enough anti-aircraft firepower network through various means, Dendrobium Lan's attack is undoubtedly aimed at this enemy.
The ZAFT fleet demonstrated that it was able to deliver a fatal blow to the ZAFT fleet beyond the maximum range of its anti-aircraft firepower.
There are no options left.
"Retreat! Retreat!! Quick! Let's retreat quickly!"
Captain ZAFT, who lost all courage, issued orders to retreat.
Suddenly, a large number of retreat signal flares were fired one after another, but under the bright retreat signal, not many mobile suits were able to return to ZAFT's battleship.
"Pursuit or not?"
"No. Return!"
There is no point in continuing the pursuit.
Moreover, He Ming is even more worried about the Heavenly Pillar. Although there are some unfounded worries, in terms of the Earth Union's military rank and real power, there is no one in the Heavenly Pillar garrison who can compare with Halbarton, the Earth Union's brigadier general.
Even if the Imperial Pillar of Heaven has Li Xuan, the special envoy sent by the East Asian Republic, it may be difficult to deal with Halbarton's methods in some aspects.
On the other side, the Polaris had successfully connected with the Eighth Fleet and the Archangel. However, after the two sides merged, they did not speed up and reach the Heavenly Pillar. Instead, the Polaris secretly slowed down in some aspects.
These subtle changes naturally cannot escape Halbarton's keenness.
But he didn't feel any displeasure.
Because he knew that what he was about to arrive was the solar power generation system that Atlantic United had always wanted to get involved in but could not succeed in.
Not long ago, the Eurasian Alliance, which was originally in the same camp as the Atlantic Alliance, did not say a word and suddenly announced that it would join the solar power generation system construction project led by the East Asian Republic. The price was the "umbrella" that the Eurasian Alliance had always regarded as a treasure.
"technology.
This result made the top management of Atlantic Union very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, it is impossible for the Atlantic Alliance to directly spend money to participate in the solar power generation system like the Eurasian Alliance.
"Admiral."
The adjutant seemed to have endured it for a long time. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Halbarton.
"No. No need to say more. Everything will follow the arrangements."
Halbarton knew very well that the Polar Star was secretly lowering its speed just to wait for the aircraft named Dendrobium Lan to return, or to wait for the return of the man who single-handedly led the establishment of the solar power generation system - He Ming.
In this way, the East Asia Republic or the Heavenly Pillar will be assured that he and the Eighth Fleet will approach the Heavenly Pillar.
"Report! Dendrobium orchid was found behind our fleet!"
Hearing this, Halbarton breathed a long sigh of relief and murmured.
"It seems that not only have we gained a technician who can change the course of history, but we have also gained an ace who can change the direction of a local battlefield with just a few moves."
Dendrobium Orchid's return has lifted the Heavenly Pillar's alert state.
In the command center of the Pillar of Heaven, Lund Mina Sahak calmly glanced at the Archangel, which was slowly taking over the Pillar of Heaven under the leadership of Polaris, and then turned and left.
Command center.
"Lord Mina, why don't you go and receive us? According to the news, there are many citizens of Orb on board that ship."
Li Xuan said suddenly.
Lund Mina Sahak stopped and nodded.
"Thank you for the reminder, envoy! I'll go there later. But now, we have to leave time to you sirs and the Eighth Fleet, right?"
When Li Xuan heard this, he smiled.
"Thank you, Mina-sama, for your understanding!"
"No, let the envoy worry."
It is no secret that there are citizens of Orb on board the Archangel.
After all, before the collapse of the colonial satellite Heliopolis, someone had witnessed the Archangel taking in many Orb citizens to protect them from the disaster that would occur when the colonial satellite collapsed.
certainly.
Among these people, the boy who activated the MS secretly manufactured by the Earth Federation and became the supporter of the Archangel from Heliopolis has already spread among the three major forces of the Earth Federation.
Come.
Li Xuan believed that Lund Mina Sahak naturally knew the country that the young man was from.
However, the attitude shown by Lund Mina Sahak just now did not seem to value that young man.
If this is the case, Li Xuan is happy to continue to hide behind the scenes and support the operation of the solar power generation system.
As for other matters, Li Xuan believed that He Ming could handle them well.
Halbarton has arranged for the warships in better condition of the Eighth Fleet to be patrolled and guarded. As for the seriously damaged warships, with the consent of Tianzhizhu, they will enter the repair port expanded in the later period of Tianzhizhu for temporary treatment.
maintenance.
In the midst of this busy and tense arrangement, Dendrobium, which caught up later, flew between the Eighth Fleet and the Polar Star, unabashedly adjusted its attitude, and slowly entered Port No. 1 along the guidance.
Coincidentally, the Archangel and Polaris carrying Orb citizens also docked at this port ten minutes ago.
Looking at the slowly closing gate, Halbarton pondered for a moment and then stood up.
"Admiral, what are you doing?"
"Come with me! Go to the Heavenly Pillar."
Halbarton waved his hand and smiled.
"Go meet the man who changed the course of history. And thank the person in charge of Tianzhizhu in person! Otherwise, our Eighth Fleet may have become a member of history."
When He Ming stepped down from the cockpit of the Stamen Gundam, he saw Feng Yun, Sergey, Lockon and others waiting for his return below.
"Well done! Lieutenant Colonel He. I didn't expect your new machine, Lieutenant Colonel He, to be so powerful that it can stand up to a ZAFT fleet on its own. If the headquarters knew about it, I'm afraid there would be a fuss in the sky."
Feng Yun laughed a few times.
The achievements that He Ming just created were enough to shock East Asia, no, I should say, it was enough to shock the whole world.
Since the beginning of the war, the United Earth has always lost more than it won when facing ZAFT's mobile suit army.
This is the first time for such a heartwarming victory.
"Captain, this is just a normal battle."
He Ming said calmly.
"You kid. That's true. With the solar power generation system ahead, any achievements are not as important as the solar power generation system."
After speaking, Feng Yun glanced at the tightly closed gate.
"That Admiral Halbarton is not hinting us once that he wants to see with our own eyes the capabilities of the solar power generation system."
"Really? Then, let him see it with his own eyes."
