I have to say that the communication with Desert Tiger was more pleasant than expected.
This appearance always gives people the impression of an undistinguished "uncle", a bit like someone who has seen through all the world of games, and at the same time has an unusually keen perception of the war and the current situation.
He knew very well that if the current situation continued, both ZAFT Army and Earth Alliance would uncontrollably lead to a dead end of mutual destruction, and he was eager to find another solution.
It's a pity that Andrew·Barthes Phil ade is completely unaware that his entanglements and contradictions are essentially caused by human civilization in modern times establishing a set of moral standards that are far higher than the capacity of its own society.
For the P. L. A. N. T residents who possess the most advanced technology, all the resources they need can be obtained from the universe. Therefore, they have never experienced starvation or cold. Therefore, it is natural that eating and drinking is everyone's basic right from birth to death.
However, in North Africa, which has relatively poor resources and backward technology, not everyone is qualified to have enough to eat and drink.
Not to mention having enough to eat and drink, in many cases it is very difficult to obtain even the most basic drinking water.
Especially after the war broke out, a large number of nuclear power plants were damaged by Neutron Jammer, directly triggering a terrible energy crisis and economic recession.
More than 90% of the desalination plants used to meet people's daily needs and for agricultural irrigation are now out of operation.
As we all know, water is the source of life.
In a desert area with an arid climate, if there is no desalination plant, it means that even the most basic survival of local residents cannot be guaranteed.
Under such circumstances, even if Andrew·Bart Phil ide wanted to adopt a soft policy to win over the locals, it would be impossible to win the approval of the local residents.
After all, one of the most basic prerequisites for the stability of social order is the inability to lack basic living supplies.
Energy and water are now an insurmountable gap between the occupiers and the occupied.
As a person with moral bottom lines and principles, Desert Tiger is obviously unwilling to use too much violence and killing to force the entire North Africa region to surrender and tremble under his feet.
Otherwise, he would have ordered his men to launch an attack on those Horde who supported the Resistance Organization and the guerrillas, completely destroying the oasis that the other party relied on for survival, and then watching helplessly as the other party starved to death, died of thirst, and sunburned little by little in the vast sea of sand.
In this way, as long as the population in the entire North Africa area that far exceeds the land carrying limit is forced to death, a new order can naturally be re-established.
But Andrew Balter Phil would rather endure endless harassment by the guerrillas than give orders for his men to bomb those civilians who secretly supported Resistance Organization but did not actually launch an attack on the ZAFT Army.
As a saying goes, morality is a kind of self-discipline.
Although it is not as binding as the law, it can profoundly affect a person's heart and even soul.
After Allen left the city and reunited with Cagalli who was waiting outside and returned to Archangel, captain Murrue immediately rushed out and asked, "Allen, what did you and that Desert Tiger talk about when they invited you over?"
"Nothing, just exchanging our views on this war, that's all." Allen smiled and shrugged.
"That's it?" Mu opened his mouth in surprise.
He originally thought that Andrew Balt Phil Germany took Allen away in order to use it as a threat to force Archangel to appear and fight with him.
"Otherwise? That uncle is a very proud man, and he doesn't bother to use dirty tricks to win. What's more, if he really had any evil intentions at that time, I guarantee that he would be the first to die. Well, instead of caring about these boring things, why don't you let me see if you have bought everything on the list? According to my estimate, Desert Tiger will come to your door in person in three to five days at most."
As he spoke, Allen turned his attention to the boxes covered with canvas that were stacked in a shady corner not far away.
"It's all here! I have to say that the black market merchants here are indeed quite energetic. They can even get many in-demand rations that have just left the factory. Here, here is the list." Nataru·Bucky Lululu directly handed over the two pieces of paper he was holding.
Allen glanced at it briefly and immediately showed a satisfied expression. "Awesome! With these things, we can arm the guerrillas who could only do soy sauce into a reinforced company with heavy firepower that can pose a huge threat to MS."
"You're not trying to create something dangerous here, are you?"
Artoria is indeed one of the few people who knows Allen best, and he immediately saw what the twinkling light in his eyes meant.
"Haha, you will know when the time comes. Stop talking nonsense, let everyone freeze, clean up these materials for me first, and then disassemble the tools in the Archangel hangar. I will transform this place into a simple assembly military factory in the next six hours."
Soon, under the command of Allen, both the soldiers on Archangel and the members of the Desert Dawn guerrillas and their families began to take action under the harsh desert sunshine.
They first removed the wooden boards of some boxes and took out the valuable parts and raw materials inside.
The technicians from Archangel's hangar renovation team pulled out thick cables one after another, and then connected the cables to tools such as robotic arms, cranes, laser cutting machines, and high-temperature welding guns.
By the time the sun went down, the entire camp had been completely transformed into an arms assembly and processing factory.
Thanks to the coordination and command of Allen, "Engineering Master", in less than an hour, a Electromagnetic Cannon door for mobile suits that can be fixed on a jeep was completed.
Looking at this big guy who uses a battery pack as a power source, is more than four meters long, and can penetrate the armor of Ginn and Baku head-on, Cagalli finally couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in an unbelievable tone, "You... you actually made a Electromagnetic Cannon in such a simple environment? What a joke!"
"The so-called Electromagnetic Cannon is essentially just using the principle of electromagnetic acceleration to launch a solid cannonball with relatively high mass and hardness. Anyone who has studied the principles of electromagnetism can do it."
Allen shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and then motioned to a guerrilla to stuff a shell into it, intending to test-fire it on the spot.
Several young people had been waiting for a long time. They immediately picked up a heavy alloy solid artillery shell and stuffed it into it, and then aimed at the target set up with the Baku wreckage in the distance.
"Fire!" The middle-aged man with a beard gave the shooting order.
The next second...
Bang!
With the loud noise of the shell breaking through the sound barrier instantly, everyone saw a flash of metallic light flashing in the air, followed by the distant wreckage of Baku, which was immediately blown away by the terrifying impact. A large hole appeared in the frontal armor in less than 0.5 seconds.
With indescribable kinetic energy, the parts behind it flew dozens of meters away before finally stopping, and were scattered everywhere.
At this time, the people present asked about the faint strange smell in the air.
You don't need to ask to know that it is ozone produced by ionizing the air in an instant.
There is no doubt that as a temporary and simple weapon, the power of this Electromagnetic Cannon is definitely up to standard.
Excluding the special body of PS Armor, most mainstream MS armors currently in service with the ZAFT Army cannot block this kind of penetration.
However, considering the MS's powerful mobility, unless it is a sneak attack, it is almost impossible to kill the opponent without computer and radar correction.
Of course, in fact Allen does not intend to let this thing fight alone.
Its greatest use is that when Archangel launches a frontal attack on the enemy, it can bypass the flank or the rear and take advantage of the chaos to strike hard.
Otherwise, with the small number of individual missiles that the guerrillas originally had, they probably wouldn't be able to penetrate the MS's armor, and would only cause slight vibrations in the cockpit at best.
"Hahahaha! It's done! It works! We finally have a heavy weapon that can pose a threat to the ZAFT Army MS!"
After a while, the young man responsible for launching Electromagnetic Cannon jumped up from the car excitedly and cheered loudly.
Not only him, but other guerrillas also hugged each other happily, with burning eyes as if they were looking at their lovers.
"Damn it! How did you do that?"
While others were busy coming forward to look at and touch the new weapons, Cagalli quickly came closer and asked in a lowered voice.
Compared with those locals who have not received higher education, she is the "Princess of Orb" and is no stranger to the technology mastered by Dawn Company, so it can be seen that this Electromagnetic Cannon definitely uses some new technologies.
At least for the ordinary Electromagnetic Cannon, it is absolutely impossible to use an acceleration length of four meters to achieve such amazing speed and penetration of a solid alloy cannonball.
Allen replied meaningfully, "I have slightly improved the material structure and tripled the electromagnetic strength from the original level. Don't forget, I am one of the core participants of G Project, and I have proposed many new weapon concepts and technologies."
"Okay. Now I finally understand why they promoted you from an ordinary employee to the highest level in such a short period of time. It seems that in the field of military scientific research, you are an out-and-out genius."
When saying these words, Cagalli's eyes were full of complexity.
On the one hand, she realized that the man in front of her was really capable of helping the guerrillas obtain the coveted heavy weapons, and then took the initiative to launch an attack to drive away Desert Tiger and his ZAFT Army invaders.
On the other hand, she was a little worried whether Allen's talents would arouse the ideas of the Earth Alliance's top brass, and then the huge military-industrial complex would absorb and recruit them, and finally invent a lot of destructive and terrifying weapons.
You must know that compared with Dawn Company, which is only supported by the Orb government, Earth Alliance, especially Atlantic Federation's investment in the military field is completely unacceptable.
"Genius? No! I'm just a little bit luckier than most people. Okay, enough chatting, let's assemble some cute new models of electromagnetic pulse bombs. Believe me, this thing is an absolute disaster for modern military equipment that relies heavily on electronic technology."
While talking, Allen bent down and picked up a piece of black rubber-like substance that had just been processed from the ground, and then simply installed a timer and detonation device on it.
After finishing it, he threw it to Cagalli beside him.
"Here! Take it to a place at least two kilometers away and try it. If nothing else, the magnetic storm generated at the moment of its detonation should be able to burn out the communication systems of most ZAFT Army fighters, tanks, MS and battleships, and continue to interfere with radar detection for at least one minute."
"Are you sure? As far as I know, ZAFT Army's military equipment is equipped with strong anti-jamming equipment." Cagalli looked at the dark thing in his hand with a suspicious expression.
In this world, humans have long invented a large number of electromagnetic pulse weapons that can be put into actual combat.
Therefore, the weapons and equipment of both warring parties are equipped with corresponding countermeasures equipment.
Normally, ordinary electromagnetic pulse bombs can only have effects like "shock bombs" and "flash bombs" at best.
That is to make the opponent "blind" within a few seconds.
If there is a new type of electromagnetic pulse bomb that can be effective for a long time, it will definitely have the ability to change the outcome of a battle.
"Practice brings true knowledge! Try it first, and then we'll talk about other things."
Having said that, Allen didn't forget to push Cagalli hard.
With Electromagnetic Cannon's lessons learned, the latter was obviously very interested in the bomb in his hand. He immediately drove for three or four kilometers and detonated it in the middle of an empty black desert.
moment!
boom!!!!!!!
Zi la la la la la——
"Fake! What's going on? Why are all our radars blurred?"
"Ah! My ears! Where does this terrible sound of electricity come from?"
"Warning! Warning! We are experiencing strong electromagnetic pulse interference!"
Suddenly, the entire camp fell into panic.
As the captain, Murrue rushed out immediately and asked loudly, "Allen, what happened? Did Desert Tiger attack us?"
"No! No! I just experimented with a new type of electromagnetic pulse bomb. Now it seems that the effect is not bad." Allen shrugged with a smile.
Just as he was speaking, Cagalli had already driven the dilapidated jeep over from a distance, shouting excitedly, "It worked! Just as you said! All the electronic equipment placed within fifty to one hundred meters near the explosion point burned out and short-circuited in an instant. If ZAFT Army is hit during the battle, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced."
"A more powerful electromagnetic pulse bomb? Allen, it seems you have made something amazing again."
Mu stared at the black clay explosives that had just been made through a series of processes, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
