Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1990 Reunion!

Five hours after Axis appeared from the dimensional rift in the future.

A squadron of mobile suits, launched from the Garuda aircraft carrier at an altitude of 10,000 meters, is rapidly breaking free from Earth's gravity and the shackles of the sky, propelled by nuclear rocket boosters, and returning to the space where they once fought.

As the tremors unique to breaking through gravity gradually disappeared, the familiar feeling of weightlessness enveloped him once again, and Hasavi slowly exhaled.

At the same time, the 360-degree surveillance screen in front of him was activated, displaying the outside scene to Hasavi.

universe.

About thirty hours later, he actually accomplished the feat of descending from space to Earth and then returning from Earth to space.

During this period, he also participated in the war against the United States of Hell.

In terms of what the human body can withstand, this is probably close to the limit.

However, the war is not over yet.

Hathaway's gaze turned in another direction, where there was a massive dimensional rift, and Axis, which had broken out of it and was flying towards Earth—Axis from the future.

"It really happened!"

As a firsthand witness to the Second Neo-Zion War, the war brought Hathaway not glory, but only an increasingly heavy burden and a wound that was difficult to heal.

“Mavty. Don’t dwell too much on the past. Right now, you’re already doing your best to change the world.”

He Ming seemed to sense the change in Hasavi's emotions and took the initiative to comfort him in the communication.

“I understand, Colonel. Now that Axis has also arrived in this timeline, let us settle things here!”

Meanwhile, Rebil's space fleet was approaching the space area agreed upon with He Ming and the others, and had dispatched a support force to provide cover for them.

"General, the support force is about to rendezvous with Colonel Ming and his men. However, the attack we anticipated did not occur. Apart from the repeated battles with our reconnaissance forces, the combined fleet of Neo Zeon and Death Vanguard surrounding Axis has shown no further signs of probing our movements."

After summarizing the information discovered by the reconnaissance team, Brad reported the past to Rebil.

"Hmm. Captain Brad, do you have any thoughts?"

Rebil nodded, his hands slightly clasped together, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

After the colony cannons of Jamitov fell silent, Axis, having successfully withstood the attack, did not accelerate but maintained its current speed as it gradually approached Earth.

Based on current observations, if Axis continues at its current speed, it will be at least 50 hours before it collides with Earth.

This is completely contrary to the joint observation results of various astronomical observation departments of the Earth Federation and many space technology departments.

However, this is not necessarily bad news.

The further away from the final collision, the more resources and methods they can prepare, and the greater their chances of winning.

Conversely, from the perspective of Neo Zeon and the Death Vanguard combined fleet, this is a very unusual situation.

From the initial relentless advance, leaving Earth less than 24 hours to counterattack, to the current situation of proactively slowing down and leaving a gap, Reibill doesn't simply believe that Char Aznable from the future, leading the Neo Zeon fleet, will feel fear—fear of the power of Jamitov's colony cannon.

"General, I believe the combined fleet of Neo Zeon and Death Vanguard thinks victory is already assured."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Brad's answer caused Rebil's expression to change slightly, and he asked, "Yes!"

As Brad responded, he also raised his hand to signal CIC to cooperate with his action and display the intelligence gathered by all parties on the main screen.

"General, please look!"

As the main screen displays the current locations of both sides and a map showing troop distribution, Brad's voice comes through.

"Based on the size of the enemy fleet that we have already detected, in addition to the asteroid fortress of Axis, the enemy fleet also has two Lorula-class space battleships and a number of Musaka-class space cruisers."

"As for the Death Vanguard, various types of warships, including the Zhams Garr class and the Zhams Kily class, have also appeared one after another around the space region where Axis is located."

"Therefore, based on the intelligence analysis we currently have, the enemy's combined fleet probably has fewer than a hundred ships. As for the MS forces, we cannot provide a more accurate number at the moment."

"A hundred ships?"

Brad's report gradually made Rebil's expression turn serious.

Although Reibill used the pretext of attacking the United States of Hell to deploy his two fleets, the Valley and the Titans, as well as the Punishment fleet, in order to deal with a possible offensive by Neo Zeon, they were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of warships.

Not to mention the size of the MS force.

Moreover, Reibill wouldn't be so naive as to think that the massive Axis, the satellite fortress that once served as the central hub for the resurgence of the Zeon remnants, might not be hiding one or more space fleets as a backup plan.

"Captain Brad, are you scared?"

As Rebil thought of this, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, and he turned his gaze to Brad.

"No! This is nothing. I have seen much worse situations during the One Year War."

Brad said loudly that he was not intimidated by the disadvantages he was facing.

"Moreover, our current disadvantage in the number of warships does not mean that we will suffer defeat as a result."

"Heh. Is it Colonel Ming who gave you this confidence?"

Rebil nodded in agreement, while also making a joke.

"Yes! Just as the general said, Colonel Ming is a very capable Federation soldier. If given the opportunity, I believe that Colonel Ming will definitely become a military god who supports the Earth Federation Army and paves the way for the future of mankind."

Brad said firmly.

"Oh? Captain Brad, you've given it a very high evaluation! However, I think Colonel Ming doesn't agree with that assessment. That kid doesn't like carrying such a troublesome title."

During their conversation, the CIC operator next to them suddenly showed a hint of joy.

"General Reibill, Captain Brad. The support team has successfully rendezvoused with Colonel Ming and his men! They will join our fleet in half an hour!!"

"it is good!"

Rebil shouted, stood up straight, looked around, and then looked at Brad.

"Captain Bright. Now, let's go together to meet the future, no, let's go together to meet the Earth Federation's general!"
