Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 766 New Plan! (4/4)

"I didn't expect that you would have such a big change after just one trip, sir."

Everyone who came out of the conference room gathered in their own groups to discuss the next steps.

As He Ming's direct subordinates, Sergei and Lockon were the most surprised.

According to the original plan, at least one or two space battleships and most of the MS teams were to be used as bait, disguised as the Atlantic Union's space fleet, to attract the attention of the Achin Duvi Line, thereby creating an opportunity for the remaining battleship and the MS team responsible for infiltration operations to sneak into April City.

However, when the plan was being discussed and optimized, He Ming, who suddenly returned from Junius 7, denied the plan as the supreme commander of the operation and proposed a more radical plan in the eyes of everyone.

“This is not a radical plan, but a well-thought-out plan.”

He Ming's explanation for this plan was to use the optical camouflage ability of Dendrobium to accelerate outside the maximum alert range of Yajin Duwei, and after obtaining sufficient speed, suspend all systems except the optical camouflage, allowing Dendrobium to pass Yajin Duwei like a floating meteorite and reach the space area where April City is located.

This tactic has actually been used in practice before.

That was when Nicol used the Mirage System of the Thunderbolt Gundam to achieve tactical success.

Therefore, when He Ming proposed this plan, people did not strongly oppose it, but just felt that it was too radical.

But what everyone doesn't know is that compared to the Mirage System of the Thunderbolt Gundam, the optical camouflage system of a machine equipped with a GN Solar Furnace is much more durable in terms of durability.

As long as they don't get too close to ZAFT's guard fleet or MS troops along the way, theoretically they won't be discovered.

"But if it's just the Dendrobium, I'm afraid it will have to be modified to a certain extent before the congressmen can ride it. Moreover, if there are congressmen on board, once a battle breaks out..."

Sergey was the first to raise his doubts.

"No. There's nothing wrong with that."

As the all-around talent on the team, Salamantini said this is not a problem.

"Wait. Could it be that?"

Lockon's expression changed and he looked at He Ming and Salamantini in surprise.

The Dendrobium, which could be called a mobile fortress, suddenly said it wanted to be modified to provide a place for the congressmen to stay. There was only one answer to such a change.

That is, in addition to Dendrobium, He Ming has other organisms to choose from that are no less effective than Dendrobium.

As He Ming nodded slightly, Sergei and Lockon looked at Salamantini at the same time.

"My Flame Dragon has also been unlocked."

This is undoubtedly good news.

Although the Flame Dragon is much smaller than MS, the power it can unleash is incomparably strong.

If we have the Flame Dragon as support...

"This time, I will not be driving the Flame Dragon. I will be the one driving the Dendrobium. And you, my lord, will be driving the Chengying."

Salamantini outlined the next tactical arrangements.

"The reason why I want to drive the Dendrobium is because I will be in charge of the next containment chamber. Only in this way can I grasp the life status of the congressmen in the containment chamber at the first time."

Sergey and Lockon agreed with this.

Seeing that his companions all agreed to the plan, He Ming once again gathered everyone in the name of the commander and announced the implementation of the infiltration plan.

Maybe it was a lucky day.

The next second after He Ming announced the plan, the CIC from the bridge appeared at the door of the conference room in a hurry. Feng Yun stepped forward, took the note from the CIC's face, opened it, and immediately slapped his thigh.

"God is really helping me!"

"What happened, Captain?"

Feng Yun directly handed the note in his hand to He Ming.

He Ming took a closer look.

"There are signs of a large-scale troop buildup at the ZAFT Carpentaria base again, and a considerable number of ZAFT fleets have also appeared in the airborne orbit. It is speculated that there is a high probability that an attack will be launched on the Alaska headquarters!"

He Ming frowned slightly, handed the one in his hand to Malu, and let the captains pass it to each other to look at it, then fell into deep thought.

After knowing the true identity of the Coordinating Angel, He Ming was not optimistic about the arrangement of the Alaska headquarters.

"This may be an opportunity. Colonel He, Captain, if ZAFT really wants to launch an attack on Alaska headquarters, then Yakin Duwei's troops will definitely be mobilized."

Natal Bajilulu kept thinking.

"If the situation is as ideal as we expected, I'm afraid there won't be too many troops deployed to patrol the other side of Yakin Duwei."

"The other side of Yakin Duwe?"

Malu's eyes lit up, and she obviously understood what Natal Bakilu was thinking.

"You mean the rubble left behind in that space after the PLANT colony satellite cluster was completed?"

"Yes! This rubble belt is not near the popular route from the Moon to the PLANT, so it will not receive much attention. When Yakin Duwei's forces are mobilized to attack the Alaska headquarters, the number of ZAFT fleets patrolling this area will surely be reduced."

He Ming raised his right hand, motioning Natal Bakilulu to raise her head to explain. At the same time, the situation of the space around PLANT was projected on the projection screen.

Natal Bajilulu was invited to the stage and pointed at the screen.

"Based on Yakin Duwei's previous deployment of troops, we can boldly predict that once ZAFT launches an attack on Alaska headquarters, the size of the ZAFT fleet patrolling this space area should be one to three squadrons."

"One to three squadrons?"

According to previous battle examples, a ZAFT fleet of one to three squadrons should have about ten to fifteen warships, and the number of MS is conservatively estimated to be around fifty, but other special reasons cannot be ruled out.

But no matter what, this is an opportunity worth trying.

"Then, according to this assumption, Colonel He's infiltration plan can be launched after we arrive in this space, and our fleet and mobile suits can take advantage of the gap in time and use this rubble belt to deploy so that we can smoothly pick up Colonel He and the congressmen."

Chisaca rarely spoke, and immediately expressed his idea of ​​making full use of the existence of the gravel belt.

The captains exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"That's a good idea. This rubble belt is indeed a defensive line that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Malu raised his hand and pressed his chin slightly.

"But there is still a prerequisite. Can Dendrobium's speed increase the distance from the pursuers?"

Hearing this, He Ming smiled confidently.

"Captain Malu, please rest assured about this! If you don't take the lives of the councillors into consideration, Dendrobium's speed will leave a deep impression on ZAFT's pursuers!"
