Chapter 1613: Being plotted
(I have a day off tomorrow, I told you in advance, hey.)
"Woo~~~~Woo~~~~"
The sky was still completely bright. Ptolemaios, Danner's Son, Yamato, Namibia Arkham, and La Rams. Suddenly, continuous alarms sounded inside the five ships, falling into the ears of everyone who was sleeping or not sleeping.
In Yamato's Captain's Room, which was also the original room of Juzo Okita, Xiao Ran, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, opened his eyes as soon as the alarm sounded. Setsuna jumped up from the bed, quickly walked to the only table in the room, and picked up the phone on it.
"What happened?"
The slightly anxious voice of Kodai Susumu came from the other end of the phone. "New Zeon's troops appeared in Daka City and are currently breaking through Federation's defense line. However, Daka City did not sound the alarm at all and did not make any evacuation actions for civilians. Now the whole city is in complete chaos."
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. "Don't worry, contact the other captains immediately, I will come to the bridge right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran rubbed his face fiercely, picked up his coat, put on his shoes, and hurried out of Captain's Room. During the process of heading to the bridge, he saw some crew members who suddenly woke up from their sleep and went to their posts without having time to clean up.
Soon, Xiao Ran entered the bridge of Yamato, and except for him, all the bridge personnel had also arrived. After nodding to everyone, Xiao Ran sat directly in the position that should have belonged to Juzo Okita, but now barely belonged to Sanada Acting Captain.
As soon as he sat down, a huge screen fell in front of Xiao Ran, and the other captains also appeared on the screen.
"You should already know the situation now. New Zeon has begun to attack Daka City." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, after seeing several people on the screen nodding, he continued, "But I want to know the specific situation of Daka City."
Everyone on the screen was silent for a moment. It was not until a few seconds later that Brad spoke, "Yes, we already know the situation over there. New Zeon is attacking Daka City. In addition to the normal defense force for the meeting before, Daka City did not show any more troop deployment and support. It is expected that Federation's defense force will be completely broken within thirty minutes at most, and by that time New Zeon will be able to drive straight into Daka City."
"The most important thing is that, knowing that Daka City would be attacked by New Zeon, Federation made no other arrangements at all, including such important things as the evacuation of civilians. This means that in up to thirty minutes, the entire civilian population of Daka City will be directly exposed to New Zeon's artillery fire."
"That's right." Tessa also took a deep breath and added, "It's not so much that Daka City doesn't have more Defense Force, it's more that Federation didn't want to use his own power to defend Daka City. Just now Renard Contacted me and told me that Federation had no conspiracy at all this time. All the members of Federal Council had already left when New Zeon appeared. The current Federation defense line is just a tool for these powerful people to buy time to evacuate."
"That is to say, Federation doesn't care about the civilians of Daka City at all. Not only that... it seems that we are also being used by Federation."
Brad also nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Yes, Federation should have calculated our arrival long ago. Just now I received a request, or order, from Federation, Let us go to Daka City immediately to eliminate the New Zeon troops attacking Daka City. Of course, we don't have to go, but the civilians of Daka City..."
"Ha." Xiao Ran suddenly smiled after hearing what Tessa and Brad said. He seemed to be smiling happily, but no matter who he was, he could hear the coldness in Xiao Ran's laughter. Listening to Xiao Ran say, "It seems that Federation thinks he has mastered our weak spot and knows that some of us will definitely help those civilians. Okay, then let's set off."
Sanada, who was standing on the bridge, glanced at Xiao Ran, and then said loudly in the bridge, "Weigh anchor, set sail, surface and head to Daka City at maximum combat speed."
Everyone on the screen also nodded and issued orders for the ships to sail and for the pilots to prepare for battle. Xiao Ran, after everyone became quiet again, said, "Tessa, do you and Renard know the movements of those congressmen and their evacuation routes?"
Tessa was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "You should be able to find it out if you give me some time. I will also seek help from Renard's amalgam."
"Very good." Xiao Ran nodded and said calmly, "Now let's arrange the combat orders, Yamato, the Nail Arkham, and the La Kellam go to Daka City to stop New Zeon's military action, Danner's Son, Ptolemaios began to investigate the whereabouts of Federal Council members to confirm whether they were acting together or separately. No matter which way, I ask you to catch as many of them as possible. Yajenal First Squadron is responsible for assisting you to supplement the shortage of manpower."
"Those who are resisting violently should be dealt with directly. We don't have time to deal with these things that are not even garbage now."
"Finally..." Xiao Ran looked at Brad on the screen, looked at him and said, "Pack up and get ready, announce the matter of Original Constitution and explain it in the name of the orthodox Federation Now Federation, give an ultimatum to all Federal Army and General Headquarters, asking them to accept the leadership of the orthodox Federation. Those who refuse will be regarded as traitors and I will personally lead the team to exterminate them."
When Brad heard what Xiao Ran said, his body suddenly stiffened, and his breathing stopped for a moment. His heart felt like it had stopped beating at that moment, but then his breathing became rapid, not excited, not happy, but nervous.
"Is this going to happen now..." Brad took a deep breath to calm down his nervous mood, and his expression softened a little, but his clenched fists still showed that Brad's heart was not as it seemed on the surface.
"It's not that we have to go to this step, but we have to take this step. We have no time to waste here anymore." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Notify NERV and ask Gendo Ikari to come over immediately to take charge of the overall situation, and work with the military district headquarters, General Headquarters communicated with various regions, universe Colony Satellite, etc., and invited them to form a new orthodox Federal Council. When it comes to dealing with these troubles, Gendo Ikari is better and more patient than us here."
