Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 997 Sea Fog Battleship Belfast!
After a brief replenishment, the Yamato set sail again, heading for the subspace gate that would allow the Yamato to shorten the distance by tens of thousands of light years.

The distance was not far, and the Yamato soon saw the subspace star gate standing in the vast universe.

"Second mate, maybe you think I'm being long-winded. But, just treat it as an old man's nagging!"

Okita Jusan got off the hospital bed, put on his military uniform, stood in front of He Ming and asked.

"You really want to stay behind to cover our retreat? Second mate."

"Yes, Captain. Given the current situation, this is the best option."

He Ming smiled confidently.

"I believe you still remember the battle with the Demel fleet. If the Yamato gets entangled with the enemy, it will probably end up being besieged and killed."

"Of course. In a critical moment, the Yamato can naturally use the names of the two Iskandar princesses, Sasha and Yulisa, to urge the other side to stop the war, but the result of doing so is..."

"That is, they will allow the other party to kidnap the two Iskandar princesses, ascend to the position of Grand President of the Gamilas Empire in their names, and completely control the Gamilas Empire."

Of course, Okita Jusan was aware of the story of using the emperor to control the princes.

During this period, judging from the performance of Melda Dietz and ALTER, the two princesses of Iskandar, Sasha and Yulisa, have great reputation among the people of Gamilas.

Once the two Iskandar princesses are controlled by people with ulterior motives within the Gamilas Empire, the people of Gamilas will be incited and become pawns and fuel for those people to realize their ambitions.

of course.

If Okita Jusan didn't care about this, he could make the existence of the two Princesses Iskandar public at the moment of passing through the subspace gate and reach an agreement with the ambitious man.

"No need to say more. I, the Yamato, will never do this. Princesses Sasha Iskandar and Yulisa Iskandar are the benefactors of the Earth and mankind. We cannot and must not betray our benefactors. We cannot watch our benefactors become tools in the hands of ambitious people and do nothing."

After Okita Jusan finished speaking in a sonorous and powerful voice, he immediately sighed.

"Second mate, I understand, but at the same time I feel guilty towards you. It is a shame for you to shoulder such a difficult task alone."

"No! Captain. Perhaps, for me, this is not a difficult task."

He Ming laughed, without a trace of heaviness on his face.

In a world that Okita Jusan didn't know, He Ming was a warrior who once faced the attack of an entire basic fleet, but still drove the machine calmly and charged forward with his comrades.

It's just a mere 10,000 Gamilas warships.

Compared with the basic fleets that can easily number hundreds of thousands or even millions, it is indeed nothing.

He Ming straightened his expression and saluted.

"Well, see you later, Captain!"

Okita Jusan returned the greeting with a serious look.

"See you later! Second mate, I wish you good luck in your military career."

After He Ming left the captain's room, all the crew members he met along the way came to the side, straightened their backs, and saluted him solemnly.

Apparently, Shiro Sanada and Susumu Kotobuki have already made their next action plan public.

The short journey to the aviation team's standby room made He Ming feel his arm was sore from raising his hand to return the greeting.

In particular, when He Ming arrived at the standby room of the aviation team, Saburo Kato and Hiroki Shinohara led the aviation team to line up to welcome He Ming's arrival.

"Everyone, salute!!"

He Ming was stunned for a moment as they heard everyone standing at attention and saluting in unison, then shook his head helplessly.

"You guys are making me feel like I'm on a mission where there's no chance of survival, right?"

After He Ming raised his hand to return the greeting, he looked around and saw faces full of fighting spirit.

"Yes! Second mate. Please allow us to follow you and stay behind to cover your retreat!"

Kato Saburo stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Veto! Captain Kato. As the captain of the aviation team, you should remain rational and calm!"

He Ming rejected Kato Saburo's request on the spot. "If your air force follows me and stays behind to cover the retreat, then after passing through the second subspace star gate and arriving at the Large Magellanic Cloud, and encountering the enemy, how should the Yamato, without the protection of the air force, deal with the crisis?"

He Ming's words made Kato Saburo stunned on the spot.

He Ming sighed and raised his hand to pat Kato Saburo on the shoulder.

"I know what you're thinking, and I know what everyone else is thinking. But this time, only Lieutenant Bell and I can stay."

"But how can we possibly deal with the blockade of tens of thousands of Gamilas warships with Chengying alone?"

From the crowd, Yamamoto Ling strode out with a serious expression and looked at He Ming sharply.

"Second mate. No matter how powerful Chengying and Xiaoying are, they are just space fighters."

"No, Ms. Yamamoto. It's not a fighter plane!"

When they heard the sound, they turned around and found Belfast standing in front of the door leading to the hangar in the standby room.

"To be precise, it's one ship and one plane."

Belfast clasped his hands together and saluted to the air force.

"Although there are reasons for this, Belfast did hide something from you. I hope you can forgive Belfast for this small sin."

"Bell? Belfast?!"

Yamamoto Ling was keenly aware of some secret.

She suddenly turned around and looked at He Ming.

The latter nodded in response.

"I'm sorry! Bell and I did hide some things from you. Of course, these things will not cause any harm to you. On the contrary, this is exactly why I have the confidence and reason to take on this mission of covering the rear."

He Ming and Belfast looked at each other, and the latter took two steps back and raised his hand to close the cabin door.

Then the gate of the hangar slowly opened, and Belfast entered the space directly from the opened gate.

Seeing this, everyone looked at He Ming.

He Ming knew that if he didn't let these guys see clearly, the situation would probably continue to escalate for a while.

"Put on your protective clothing. Follow me!"

At the same time as the gates of the First Hangar were opened, the First Bridge also received relevant information.

"Captain. Second mate has completed preparations for the attack!"

As soon as Mori Xue finished speaking, she was confused by the image that followed.

"Sen, what happened?"

"Yes! Now turn the picture to the projection screen."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the first bridge saw an extremely shocking scene.

Belfast was seen standing at the ejection port of the first hangar, raising his right hand towards the front.

On the other side, He Ming, Kato Saburo, Yamamoto Ling and others were standing there, watching Belfast's every move closely.

"Let's get started, Bell."

"Understood, Admiral!"

Belfast responded immediately after receiving the order, and finally fully deployed and released her Sea Mist Battleship for the first time since entering this world.

The purple-gold lines extended from under Belfast's feet and expanded at an extremely fast speed towards the space hundreds of meters ahead.

In just a few breaths, these lines changed from straight to tortuous, and then to winding upwards, outlining a huge pattern that was 1200 meters long and hundreds of meters wide.

That is the brand new sea fog battleship that evolved from MACROSS13, the Royal Fleet Belfast!!
