Listening to Captain Talia describing the situation of the lunar battle, Xiao Ran also nodded with a slight frown and said, "In other words, the real result achieved so far is to destroy the two intermediary points, and the frontal combat has not actually achieved any results, even with the help of Silver Hand and Eternal, even with that Why do some of the aircraft on our side that rush close to the Requiem have no choice but to withdraw due to the enemy's firepower and lack of support? Moreover, even if we appear in the battle and attack the Requiem from the side, we will first have to face more United Forces than expected, and even be hit by dozens of Destroy Gundam?"
"That's right."
Captain Talia also seemed a little helpless at this time. The strength of the Earth Force side was completely beyond their imagination and speculation. This situation should be impossible when there was no coalition force on the earth. But it happened so suddenly, which resulted in the coalition occupying the geographical advantage to gain more advantages when resisting the Orb ZAFT alliance army, which caused a stalemate in their own attack.
However, these extra troops are also the last trump card of the alliance. The foundation accumulated through so many years of development cannot be underestimated. Even if the forces on the earth are cleared and most of the original alliance forces have chosen to withdraw, the moon, a place that has also been developed by the alliance for many years, still retains strong strength and all the power in the alliance universe.
"A dozen Destroy Gundam, this number..." Xiao Ran thought of a dozen Destroy Gundam, the kind of mobile fire fortress strategic weapons that fire at the same time, and felt a little scary. Horrible, as long as there are these dozen Destroy Gundams firmly protecting Requiem, one or two machines, three or five machines, even if they are close to Requiem, will be unable to cope with so many s Destroy Gundam, not to mention Requiem, there is also the powerful Energy Shield that can resist all attacks, except for Dawn Gundam and Midnight Gundam, which can ignore the shield. In addition, even if Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice want to destroy Requiem under the protection of more than a dozen Destroy Gundam, it is an impossible task.
Even Xiao Ran feels that the number of Destroy Gundam is really difficult to deal with. Although he is confident that he can defeat several Destroy Gundam, the key is There are too many Destroy Gundams, and it is impossible for him to clear out all the Destroy Gundams by himself, and to deal with those machines while being surrounded by Earth Forces, he also needs enough helpers to contain them.
After groaning, Xiao Ran also realized that relying solely on frontal attacks was unable to break through Earth Force's layers of defense and break through Requiem in a short time. The key was that Main Mission Three had reserved The time given to these participants is actually not much. Although there are still more than ten hours at present, the key is that in the next dozen hours, not every participant can persist in fighting for that long, so the current situation of the participants is actually very tense.
Of course, it's not just the participants who are nervous, Orb and ZAFT's senior management are also nervous. Although Xiao Ran and other participants can be sure that the task time given by Prometheus is the final guarantee, but for It is difficult for Native inhabitant to understand what is going on at this time, and it is also difficult to determine whether Requiem will launch early. A heart hanging in the air is enough to make these Native inhabitant panic, unable to eat or sleep.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran asked again, "How is Second Archangel doing?"
"It has now entered the universe and is close to the moon, but it has not merged into the large army." Captain Talia said, "According to the latest news, Mwu of Archangel Captain should be exchanging positions with Captain Mwu of Second Archangel. The specific time to join the war needs to be determined by Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran nodded. Second Archangel is right not to join the battle for the time being. Ensuring the safety of Second Archangel is the first priority at present, especially when there are more troops in this place. Not joining the battle is to protect oneself, but other than that, at the beginning of the mission, Due to time constraints, the Second Archangel is not equipped with too many Large Reaction Missile and Large MED Warhead. In this way, each warhead will become more important and valuable in the subsequent battles. Only by choosing to use the two warheads at the right opportunity can we gain greater advantages in the subsequent battles.
The second is that Bargyll does not understand the true situation of the two weapons at all. Unlike Mwu, which has actually used two warheads, it understands and can determine the range that the two warheads can affect after detonating, so that it can cause maximum damage to the enemy without involving people on its own side. Large Reaction Missile is just that, quite For the enhanced version of the nuclear bomb, even if the power is extremely destructive, it is easy to control, but MED Missile is different. It can really devour everything within the scope of action. Once involved, no matter what the situation is, there is no possibility of escape. This is the case with a powerful Giant God Ideon, not to mention the body of this world.
Of course, no matter what, even if MED Missile wants to attack, it must not let the warhead explode against the moon. Otherwise, there is a 100% chance that the moon will instantly have a huge basin. Although Large MED Warhead is already very small compared to Dimension Devourer. It's small, but it will definitely swallow up the moon into a huge semi-circular basin and completely change the moon's landscape. It may even have a certain impact on the earth. Anyway, Xiao Ran really doesn't want to use this weapon within the scope of Earth Sphere until the last moment.
"Come in at full speed, join the battle in the shortest possible time, attack from the side to reduce the offensive pressure on the frontal troops. There are Zhen, Lei, Heine and others on this ship, plus my Justice Gundam, suddenly It is not that simple to appear from the side and launch an attack together. In addition, after Mwu takes over Second Archangel, he can join us first. My body also needs a certain amount of supplies."
"I understand." Captain Talia nodded. Now that both parties are under complete joint command, she, Captain Talia, is nominally the commander of this squadron, but in fact she still has to obey the arrangements of the alliance Command Center, not to mention some minor instructions from Orb's leader Xiao Ran.
At this time, Minerva was not close to the moon, and of course it was not too far. After all, it took the combined fleet about two hours to start contacting Minerva's fleet. Therefore, even if Minerva speeds up and rushes over, it will take at least nearly two hours. During this time, no matter how anxious about the situation there, they can only wait and have no choice.
Xiao Ran stayed on the bridge during these times, and was always aware of the situation there through the information transmitted. After more than an hour, the two sides were still in a stalemate. Silver Hand's results were not small, but several aircraft were destroyed and the pilots died. However, it is not clear who Xiao Ran was, but the result was that they successfully pushed the front towards the moon.
As for the United side, the losses suffered after these hours of fighting were also extremely huge. Especially under the attack of Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice, and Silver Hand, many mobile suits and battleships were defeated every minute, and the battle between the two sides became more and more tense and fierce.
The message transmission made Captain Talia even more silent, because every minute, soldiers belonging to ZAFT and Orb were killed on the battlefield. Alliance Command Center had urged them to speed up several times, but even if they speeded up, it would still take so much time to get there.
Finally, Second Archangel appeared in front of Minerva and quickly joined the fleet and headed towards the moon. Xiao Ran also left the bridge of Minerva at this time and drove Justice Gundam back. Among Second Archangel, as soon as the aircraft was parked, Xiao Ran jumped out of the cockpit, leaving a message for the maintenance team to repair Justice Gundam, and adding the words of GN Dragoon, and then directly entered the bridge of Second Archangel.
In the bridge of Second Archangel, except for Mwu replacing Bargyll, the other people have not changed at all. It is just that there is one more person on the bridge who is not a bridge member, Luo.
Luo nodded to Xiao Ran after seeing Xiao Ran enter the bridge, while Mwu turned to look at Xiao Ran with a serious face. "You are here."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and stood next to Mwu: "I already know the situation over there from Minerva, but it is still a bit unexpected that Orb and the ZAFT alliance will be completely blocked by a combined Moon Base."
"There is no way around this. After all, there are too many coalitions and they occupy a geographical advantage. Requiem and Moon Base are surrounded by joint defense facilities. It is very difficult to advance, not to mention there are so many Destroy Gundam for defense. Are you sure you want to use that weapon?"
After hearing what Mwu said, Luo also turned to look at Xiao Ran. He opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes fluctuated and he closed his mouth and changed to a determined look. I am afraid that Luo also realized that the loss of attacking Moon Base was too great, and if it continued, the loss would become even greater, so he also supported the use of MED Warhead to solve the battle once and for all.
Xiao Ran shook his head. "No, I haven't thought about it yet. I will talk about this issue after arriving on the battlefield. I am also worried that the impact of using MED Warhead will be too great. Let's first see if all the strength can tear a hole in the joint front."
Mwu also frowned and said, "That's fine. After all, once MED Missile is used, the consequences will be too serious. But just in case, I have asked people to start calculating the most suitable detonation range. If it doesn't work, we can only use Use MED Warhead. The losses for both sides are too great now, and no matter what, we have no possibility of giving in this time. If it fails, either Orb or PLANT will be destroyed. This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen."
From Mwu's words and Luo's expression, Xiao Ran once again felt the difficulty of the battle. Although he did not personally join the battle, he was also paying attention to the progress of the battle from Minerva. Hearing that Mwu After 's words, Xiao Ran also sighed slightly and said, "Calculate at what distance to detonate MED Missile, you can destroy Requiem while minimizing the impact on the moon and the earth."
"Although once MED Warhead is used, especially within Earth Sphere, it will more or less have a certain impact on the earth, the impact will not be as big as you think."
Luo slowly floated to Xiao Ran, and with the help of Xiao Ran's extended hand, he stopped in front of Xiao Ran and said, "The effect of MED Warhead is indeed similar to that of a black hole, but MED Warhead is more like a range of Space Transfer and swallowing. Although it has a certain degree of diffusion and swallowing, it is not a real black hole weapon after all, and it does not have the terrifying suction power of a real black hole weapon to attract everything around it."
"The attraction after the MED Warhead detonation only acts within the scope of influence. Although it will continue to expand the scope during the process of action, swallowing up everything in it and smoothing everything out due to the expansion of the scope, as long as we can calculate the appropriate detonation coordinates, we can suppress the impact to a minimum."
"Although using MED Warhead will cause the loss of many innocent lives on the Union side, as you said, since these people choose to stay with the Union and LOGOS, it is also their own choice. Even if they die because of this, they cannot blame others."
Speaking of this, Luo took a deep breath. After experiencing so many worlds with Xiao Ran and going through the hardships of Prometheus, Luo is still the kind-hearted Luo, but he is not the Luo who can't kill anyone. Since those soldiers are willing to fight for the Union and LOGOS, they are the enemies of this world and their enemies. It is natural to kill the enemy, and Luo will not feel guilty or sad because of this. This is Luo's maturity.
Xiao Ran patted Luo's shoulder and nodded lightly. "Don't worry, if I have to sacrifice my choice, of course I will let the enemy sacrifice. I am just worried about the impact later, not hesitating whether I should use MED Missile. Since you have said so, then it is done, but some work must be done in advance, such as letting the general For the soldiers to evacuate in advance, we must join the battle after arriving and cooperate with the members of Kira, Athrun, Cruze and Silver Hand. After all, we have to suppress the combined forces within a certain range to allow MED Missile to cause maximum damage."
(Sometimes I really don't understand. Everyone said that they don't have the custody of the child, and they don't have to pay the living expenses. They said that they can just pick the child up on weekends. But last week they asked me to drop them off and pick them up, but I refused. This week they asked me to drop them off. It's hard for me to understand her thoughts. Since you want the child, why don't you pick it up yourself? Do you really treat the child as if you are bored and lonely? What is this? A toy? Isn't it normal that you don't care about anything and don't want to connect with your child?)
