Commander's Anime Harem

"Nigel, be careful!"

Diego tried to push Nicol's machine away, but it was too late. He misjudged the distance between himself and his friend's machine. His Gates had just grabbed the arm of Nicol's Gates and was about to pull him away when a beam of light comparable to a battleship's main gun arrived in an instant and directly penetrated Nicol's black-painted Gates.

The green-haired little bottom was evaporated by the beam before he could even scream. Diego, who watched his friend die in front of him, looked sadly at the severed arm of his friend's body in the hand of the Gates he was driving. That was the last thing Nicol left in this world.

"Everyone, spread out! Spread out! Form a defensive formation!!"

There was no time to grieve for Nicol. Out of rational instinct, Diego pushed away the communicator beside him, picked up the Woodpecker missile launcher and aimed it in the direction of the beam. Four large anti-ship missiles were fired, but they exploded on the spot without encountering any attacks or obstacles in the middle.

It wasn't the enemy's precise sniper attack, but rather the anti-ship missile's collision with a real rocket. When Gates' advanced infrared scanner spotted the rocket, perfectly invisible in space, relying on the thrust gained during launch and inertia to almost glide towards him, Diego was stunned. What kind of monster was this?

The speed of the shells was very slow, as slow as a snail for both MS and battleships. It could be said that once discovered, no one could hit them. However, this method of attack was not so much launching an attack as completely predicting the position of the remaining ZAFT soldiers, calculating the lead time, and preparing the barrage early, just waiting for the reckless ZAFT to rush over.

"WTF?!"

Diego had never seen or even heard of such a miraculous thing. He had no time to mourn for his dead companions and could only ask his men to detonate this mobile booby trap to avoid causing greater damage to friendly forces.

Chapter 351 The War is Over

In this world line, the green-haired boy was killed again, which was just a small episode among the countless adjusters of the ZAFT army that had turned to ashes. More green-clad people were reduced to ashes under the naval guns that were brighter than stars. Those who were lucky enough to survive only left their teammates with screams of pain caused by the high temperature.

For the adjusters, the war situation deteriorated much faster than they had imagined. Less than three hours after the Higra Empire's fleet entered the battlefield, the ZAFT army's defense line collapsed. Many combat units even disappeared from the radar without exerting their capabilities, if the command center on the Gondwana-class aircraft carrier where Speaker Patrick was riding was still functioning.

The MS that the ZAFT army was so proud of did not play a big role in the fleet battle. The firepower of the Hiigara Empire was completely not on the same level as the Earth Union's fleet of a few big cats and small cats. Many Gates wanted to launch attacks from other directions, trying to balance the combat power of both sides with the excellent maneuverability of MS in outer space, but they were often blown up on the spot before they even broke into the anti-aircraft firepower circle.

"Director! Isn't that what the script says? Aren't we called Mobile Suit XXX?! Logically, shouldn't we be beating up the battleship and capturing the Shigara Empire's damn emperor alive? How come we got blown up halfway?!"

Countless green-clad soldiers who had gone to hell shouted angrily towards the sky, their voices filled with grievance and resentment like a little girl who had been bullied. Among them were many red-clad elites and white-clad captains who looked bewildered and had no idea how they had been assigned to the same level of hell as the green-clad soldiers.

The director said: "The enemy's warships can fill such a large battlefield, so it's normal for them to have fierce firepower. You don't think that when you can't even match the artillery, you can just rush in with mobile suits and turn the tables, do you? Their optical detection arrays are not vegetarians, unlike these scumbags of the Earth Alliance!"

"And the enemy's mobile suits and carrier-based aircraft outnumber yours by several times. Just practice more if you're new to this. Don't play if you can't afford to lose!"

It's no wonder the adjusters felt so wronged. During the rise of ZAFT, in dozens of fierce battles, big and small, the warships of the Earth Federation's space forces were no match for the MS in the environment of neutron jammers. They were often like dumpling wrappers with rich meat fillings, which would break with a single poke. The Earth Federation's carrier-based aircraft were even more difficult to describe. The small water pipes could not break Jinn's defense at all, and there was no tactic to go up and turn to engage in close combat with the more flexible MS.

The space battleships of the Higla Empire were simply incompetent for the ZAFT army. They could not break into them at all and would be destroyed by the attacking carrier-based aircraft and MS squadrons in the middle of the battle.

Xiao Renwu's fleet was built according to the dominant aircraft carrier battle group on the modern ocean. Of course, because of the presence of heavy artillery firepower outputters such as the Birmingham-class and the Phalanx-class, the division of labor among warships became a professional fleet with battleships and aircraft carriers as the core, and carrier-based aircraft and miscellaneous destroyers as auxiliary. This is instead of learning from the vast majority of Gundam worldviews, where warships must have both firepower output and MS carrying and operation capabilities. The result is that it looks like both are possible, but in fact neither is possible, which is a waste of capital investment.

Ships that have both modes exist only in special operations forces. They like such warships. The ECOAS force of the Shigra Empire is such an existence. In the East Asian Republic operation, the Thunder Turtle Squadron was dispatched to fight. The Magellan-class modified battleship, which was invisible nearby and observed the battlefield situation, also carried two Jestas and a Jesta Cannon on standby, ready to be deployed to the battlefield at any time.

ZAFT's Gates would often be locked by the fire control of the Salamis-class missile destroyer when launching a charge, and anti-aircraft missiles would pour out. If it was unlucky, it would explode on the spot, and if it was lucky, it would encounter the Swifts and Sinanju protecting the warship, and it would also explode on the spot.

Li Abao drove the Sinanju as if he was in an empty space, galloping across the wreckage-strewn battlefield, like a flash of light breaking through the sky. The overly dazzling machine naturally attracted the attention of the remaining ZAFT soldiers. Diego, eager to avenge his friend, drove his Storm Gundam painted with Gates and led his men to rush over, even though the two sides were still thousands of kilometers apart.

It is not clear who the opponent is, but with such obvious paint, it must be the opponent's trump card.

Without any hesitation, Li Abao immediately controlled Sinanju to raise the beam rifle in his hand, which was as powerful as a battleship's main gun. He lowered its power to save energy, and after less than ten seconds of calculation, he pulled the trigger.

"Zi——!"

In such a complex environment over such a long distance, even if Li Abao's new human/transformer abilities are fully utilized, they may not necessarily achieve very high accuracy.

The light green Mega particle beam slightly deviated from the special Gates piloted by Diego that Li Abao had initially locked onto, and shot down a Gates next to him, with a bullet piercing through the chest. Judging from the one-eyed monitor that had lost its light and the motionless body of the machine, Li Abao felt that it was likely to have hit the cockpit.

Of course, we cannot take it lightly. In the combat manual of the Higra Empire, the cockpits of many machines are located on the head, such as Char's Sazabi, Amuro's Digey, etc., and some are located in the crotch or hips. The Earth Federation's GNX Doom series has a pseudo-solar furnace component that is too large and takes up space, so the designer had to set the cockpit in front of the waist.

Immediately, Li Abao shot the Gates twice more in the head and waist to ensure that the opponent was completely dead and there was absolutely no way he could revive and attack him.

"Damn Gundam, how dare you...!"

Seeing that the enemy treated them as if they didn't exist and even had time to whip the corpses of their dead teammates, Diego and the rest of the people were furious. They no longer cared about the consumption of their thrusters and fired their beam rifles at Sinanju desperately, while also pointing out the location of the enemy MS to the friendly ships that had not yet sunk.

A Nazca-class high-speed battleship with only half of its hull left but luckily retaining its bridge, under the fury of the surviving crew members on it, aimed its 120cm high-energy beam cannon in the direction of Sinanju.

"Sorry, the captain is dead, the battleship is severely damaged, and the fire control system is damaged. We are trying to manually lock onto the enemy. Please go up and entangle him!"

The surviving crew members truthfully informed Team Diego's MS of the battleship's situation through laser communication, hoping that they could buy some time for the battleship.

"Don't worry. Former Nicol's squad, Gates, maintain a defensive formation and keep some distance. The enemy only has one mobile suit. Ark and Kamiko, follow me."

When passing by the battleship, Diego saw the bandaged crew members in the bridge saluting them. The boy controlled Gates and waved his beam rifle to express his respect to these ZAFT soldiers who insisted on fighting despite being injured.

With the help of the battleship, Diego had the confidence to break the opponent's defense. He fought with the Swift of the Shigra Empire. The opponent's armor surface had an anti-beam coating. Gates' MA-M21G beam rifle could hardly cause effective damage, and the opponent's attacks were often very deadly. Two of Diego's four team members died at the hands of the Swift. If the opponent had not crashed into the wreckage of the battleship, Diego would probably have been killed cleanly.

In Diego's opinion, one MS can threaten an entire fleet of the Earth Federation. I now have seven Gates in my hand, and I should have an absolute advantage. The confident dark-skinned boy took two members of his team and members of the Nicol team and rushed to Sinanju.

It’s just a Gundam, it’s not like I haven’t seen one before!

Diego had driven a Storm before, and he thought that the Gundam head in front of him was just a machine like the Earth Federation's G-Project. It was probably copied by the Shigra Empire after obtaining information from the Earth Unified Government. He was very familiar with the performance of that machine.

The Storm-painted Gates suddenly accelerated, passing through the center of the two wingmen like an arrow, and took the lead in attacking Sinanju. The other six Gates were divided into two teams, attacking from both sides of Sinanju respectively. The formation with a height difference allowed them to launch attacks from multiple angles, improving combat efficiency while also cutting off the opponent's escape route.

Surround and kill!

The ZAFT Army is very good at this tactic. Whether it is the Drake class or the Nelson class, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Earth United Space Force cannot cover every angle. The Adjusters often only need to send out one or two MS to attract the opponent's attention, and then launch a fast and fierce attack from above or below the battleship.

Diego's Gates quickly passed in front of the Sinanju driven by Li Abao, trying to attract Li Abao's attention and create an attack opportunity for his teammates behind.

The dark-skinned guy only saw Sinanju motionless on the screen, while his teammates exploded in mid-air. Just when he thought he was dazzled and hallucinating, the status of his teammates on Gates' main display screen showed as KIA. Before he could figure out how the enemy launched the attack, a shining light appeared in front of him.

"That is?"

Diego seemed to see himself playing happily with his parents as a child, himself training hard in MS driving skills at the PLANT Military Academy, and himself and his companions fighting against the hateful natural people, until Nicol, who should have been dead, appeared before him.

"boom!"

A strange scene appeared before the boy's eyes. A Nazca-class high-speed battleship exploded after being hit by a tiny beam of light. The crew members who insisted on fighting on it were ruthlessly engulfed by flames. He also heard his teammates' mutterings before they died. They had no idea what had happened before their bodies were shot down. Kamiko was more obvious because she was a girl. While charging, she was still muttering that if she could survive, she would return home and not participate in the war anymore.

Finally, Diego saw it, saw the Gundam put away its beam sword, and saw the shuttle-shaped weapons gathering from all directions.

"That's a floating weapon, no wonder..."

Diego had seen a similar weapon before, and he had even fought against it. It was the Mobius Zero's wired-guided pod. Of course, even if he knew, the boy couldn't tell his companions about his discovery.

"Not bad, I'm considered a warrior."

The hilt of the beam sword emitted particle sparks. Li Abao turned off the energy output and put it back into the storage box on his wrist. After firing two more shots at the head and hip of Gates in the Storm color scheme, Sinanju picked up the shield that he had thrown away to make it easier to draw the sword, scanned the battlefield with a life detector, and put several target marks for the life capsule into the war zone data link.

After doing all this, Sinanju rushed towards the battlefield farther away under the terrified gaze of the survivors.

On the other side of the battlefield, the adjusters who finally realized the huge gap between themselves and the Shigla Empire wanted to surrender, but there was no response to the laser communications they sent out. Even the brave one who used the white flag made of the bed sheets of an unfortunate ship soldier only received a deadly beam of light.

"Damn it! You won't even accept my surrender?! Damn you, natural person!"

A captain in white clothes cursed the Shigla people desperately in a global broadcast, while driving the Gates to dodge left and right among the overwhelming beams and missiles, and then was hit in the thruster and rolled into a big fireball.

"Mom, I want to go home."

There were also adjusters crying for their mothers, but what they got in return was the missile bombardment fired by the Swifts. The bodies were torn into pieces by the pursuing missiles and disappeared in this universe that had already destroyed tens of thousands of lives.

The desperate counterattackers, the surrenderers begging for forgiveness on their knees, and the desperate survivors hiding in the wreckage, were all met with the ruthless and inconsolable crushing of the powerful fleet of the Higla Empire.

Only when someone walked out of the cockpit in front of Swift and raised their hands would they be forgiven to a certain extent by his superb aircraft-cutting surgery. They would be roughly stuffed by Swift into the transport boat following the carrier-based aircraft.

The massive invasion of the PLANTs was like a grand space opera to the Hiigara Empire. Brave warriors piloted the Empire's advanced warships and fighter planes like fierce knights, ruthlessly harvesting the heads of enemy chiefs. In just five hours, the ZAFT army was defeated and surrendered completely.

The empire's collective farms and mines need more free labor, and this is the only mercy that the great Emperor Xiao Renwu shows to his barbaric enemies.

The author says:

Author's words: Whether it's UC, SEED or 00, battleships always have to have everything they want, but the result is that they have neither firepower nor carrying capacity. They can obviously build large aircraft carriers, but they would rather build hundreds of different models of MS, and even the parts are not universal. Since the main combat force is MS, professional carriers are the king. If you can deliver thousands of Jegans at a time, even if you are Amuro, you will have to kneel down.jpg Unless it is an unreasonable god-like machine like Unicorn, it is reflected in Gundam 00. When the number of enemies is large enough, even if the performance is weak, the Gundam can still be beaten to the point where it can't take care of itself.

Chapter 352 Post-War Interrogation

"Name?"

The iron bars shone with a chilling chill under the bright light. Two men in the uniforms of the Shigla Empire asked the blue-haired boy who was sitting in a chair of repentance, wearing rose gold bracelets and even shackles on his feet. Behind the two men were propaganda slogans such as "Leniency for Confession, Elegant Seat on the Collective Farm, Severity for Resistance, and Dangerous Mine Floor", which were obviously intended to intimidate the suspects.

"Aslan Zala."

The blue-haired boy lowered his head and gave an ambiguous answer. From beginning to end, he was unwilling to look up and look at the soldiers of the Higla Empire. The disastrous defeat of the PLANT expedition made this rising star of the ZAFT army lose confidence. He was even more upset about his misjudgment of Xiao Renwu, which led to serious errors in PLANT's intelligence on the Higla Empire.

"Position?"

"Captain of the ZAFT Army in white, how long will it take for me to see Cruze?"

Although he felt very annoyed and helpless about the Shigla Empire soldiers' repetitive questions, Aslan, who had become a prisoner of Shigla, did not want to experience the life he had once experienced when he integrated the Earth and the Moon, so he could only answer honestly.

However, he still made his own request, wanting to see Captain Cruze, a popular figure beside his father. When the team was defeated and captured, and was escorted back to the Higla Empire's homeland by the swifts of the Higla Empire, he happened to see a group of ZAFT soldiers in purple clothes and Cruze in white clothes with gold edges in the transport boat opposite. This ignited new hope in the heart of the young man who thought he had lost his father.

The Gondwana-class space carrier, as the flagship, had half of its hull cut off in the first wave of bombardment by the Higra Empire fleet. But now so many senior officers have survived, and there is a high probability that the father who was with them is also alive. Although he was not seen, it is very likely that he was injured and was being rescued by medical staff.

Aslan was deeply moved by the humanitarianism of the Higla Empire. As long as they did not lay down their guns, the Higla people would crush them ruthlessly. The ZAFT army, who were unaware of the situation, could only take the beating and curse in despair. In response, the intensity of the Higla Empire's artillery fire would increase by several orders of magnitude until all enemies who dared to resist were crushed to ashes, and then they would continue to look for the next target.

But as long as they completely lay down their weapons and leave the MS or battleship, they can get help from the other side. Aslan saw that many disabled ZAFT soldiers were put into the medical cabin after laying down their weapons. They originally had a miserable look on their faces as if they were about to die, but under the advanced medical technology of the Higla Empire, their faces quickly became rosy, and their vital signs, which had deteriorated rapidly, stabilized at the safety line.

That's right, with the star gate closed and no hope of retreat, and his ammunition about to run out, Athrun chose to surrender gracefully in order to save the last two members of Sara's team, who were also his friends, Shin Asuka and Lunamaria Hawke.

But the reckless and impulsive Shin Asuka was furious that his beloved captain had chosen to surrender?! As a glorious coordinator with the responsibility of leading the human race, how could he surrender to a foolish natural person?!

Although their fleet of battleships is about to cover the starry sky, it still does not change the nature of natural people, and I, the real bird, will fight to the end.

After expressing his attitude, Shin Asuka still wanted to continue fighting with the Swifts of the Shigla Empire, but he did not expect Aslan to be so decisive.

The crimson-painted Gates pulled out a beam sword and easily severed the defenseless Gates piloted by Shin Aska, cutting off its limbs and even the head.

Without any weapons, Shin Asuka was forced to surrender, but Lunamaria Hawke didn't care. She didn't want to die here and was more concerned about the safety of her sister Meiling Hawke, who served as a communications controller on a Minerva-class high-speed battleship in the ZAFT expeditionary fleet.

Luna only hopes that the captain of the Minerva high-speed battleship will be sensible enough to choose to surrender, otherwise her sister's life might be in danger.

This is the whole story of how the Sara team led by Aslan was captured. He made the right choice. He is the only one alive among the four strongest members of the Red Team. Nicol and Diego were killed by the Sinanju driven by Li Abao. Isaac was beaten to death on the spot by multiple swifts because he was unwilling to lay down his weapons. Ray Za Barel was also killed in the battle.

Xiao Renwu has completely changed the world line. Most of the people in the Gundam SEED series, whether they should die or not, are dead~

The interrogation continues.

"Once we have finished questioning you, you will naturally be able to meet the person you want to meet. However, the meeting place will be determined by your attitude. Therefore, cooperating with us is the only way out for you prisoners of war."

The two soldiers said righteously that there were miniature cameras set up by the Security Department above their heads to observe the situation of them and the prisoners of war at all times. It was impossible for clones to replace all jobs in the Higra Empire, but the adverse effects caused by the last Cagalli incident had not yet dissipated. In order to ensure that similar lazy governance would not appear again in the future, Xiao Renwu borrowed various means from the original time and space to deal with the bureaucratic system that might appear at any time. Only the monitoring mechanism can ensure the operation of the system.

Of course, there is also the People's Supervisory Committee controlled by VEDA. According to the responses of people in major cities, there are various sub-ends to solve problems.

"Yes, I will cooperate."

The soldier's words gave Aslan hope, and the boy nodded repeatedly to indicate that he would definitely cooperate.

"According to our summary of the confessions of other prisoners of war, the reason you PLANT launched the invasion against us was because the price of the food we exported to PLANT had risen. Is that true?"

The people of Higla were quite puzzled. Under Xiao Renwu's policy of treating all ethnic groups equally, the vast majority of the people did not have much resentment towards the Adjusters, a group of self-righteous and superior ethnic groups. After all, everyone had the opportunity to be transformed into improved transformers under the infection of GN particles, and those with potential would become true transformers. In addition, the bilateral trade with PLANT really allowed farmers and workers to enjoy the benefits. This led to the people of Higla not understanding why PLANT launched an invasion, especially since Patrick Sala's reason for launching the invasion was so bizarre.

When did food prices ever go up? How come we didn’t know?

"Well, yes, the reason why the PLANT Supreme Council launched an expedition to your country is because the price of the food exported to us by your country has increased, causing our people to have no food to eat, so the war broke out." Faced with the questioning of the Higla people, Aslan was speechless. He naturally knew that the food and meat exported by the Higla Empire not only did not increase in price, but also had excellent quality.

But because the quality was too good, it squeezed out the PLANT's local grain industry. It just so happened that PLANT needed an excuse to invade the Shigla Empire. To start a war, it was naturally necessary to unify domestic thoughts. Otherwise, once the war started, all the anti-war demonstrations would be in vain.

So there was an operation targeting the Klein faction, letting Cruze smuggle food, causing the food prices in the PLANT colonies to rise sharply. Patrick's plan was not perfect, but it was effective. Then he killed Sigel Klein, expelled Lacus Klein, and used Mia to control the Klein faction. Even doves would turn to hawks when they were hungry.

By the way, before launching the operation against the Klein faction, Patrick sent a special operations team to capture all the people in the Higra Empire office as bargaining chips, but when the team sneaked into the office building, it was already empty. The unwilling team wanted to find some information that they did not take away and report back, but the RPK16 installed a bomb, taking away the building and the ZAFT special operations team.

After Aslan told the Higla Empire all the information he knew, the young man who hoped to see his father received bad news. His father, Patrick Sala, died and evaporated in the first wave of bombardment, and even his body could not be found. Out of humanitarianism, the Higla Empire specially dragged back the wreckage of the Gondwana-class space carrier, cast it into small-scale statues and gave them to the prisoners of war whose relatives, friends, and lovers died on it.

Aslan also received his father's gift. The Higla people had great craftsmanship and perfectly restored Patrick Sala's voice, appearance and smile.

The reason why Cruze and a group of senior officers were able to survive was purely because Xiao Renwu needed them and they temporarily left the bridge to avoid death. Of course, this would definitely not be told to Aslan. He only told the boy that Cruze was a prisoner of war and had been sent to a collective farm to participate in labor.

Aslan, who heard the bad news, looked as pale as death, as if all his bones had been pulled out. The two soldiers who interrogated him dragged him to the exclusive cell of the ZAFT army.

The interrogation on the other side did not go so smoothly.

"My name is Lunamaria Hawke, I just want to see my sister, why are you making things difficult for me?!!!"

The short-haired girl angrily slammed her hands on the table. The sound of metal clashing made the two soldiers interrogating the prisoners frown and shout:

"Answer our questions and don't change the subject. Only by cooperating with our questions can you invaders receive the Emperor's forgiveness. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"I've already cooperated with you. We Adjusters are not invaders. It's because your Higla Empire maliciously raised the price of food that we can't eat enough!"

"If the Higla Empire does this, you will have no place in the universe. No one will like you!"

Facing the interrogator, Luna, who had no idea about the inside story of PLANT, argued for the "innocence" of her nation. Under the racial education of PLANT, even people with normal values ​​would be alienated by the influence of their surroundings. Lunamaria Hawke was such an example. In her eyes, natural people were the culprits who persecuted the peaceful lives of the adjusters, and the Higla Empire was even more despicable and shameless resellers. Since they took the opportunity to raise the price of food, the civilians in most PLANT colonies could not buy enough food for a day's energy with a day's salary. It was said that some people had starved to death at home in some colony satellite cities.

"I won't listen to any of this. Since His Majesty wants someone, why not just send him over directly?"

"Indeed, I'll ask a female soldier to come and wash her."

The soldiers who were almost amused by Luna's shameless tone of voice when she spoke to them whispered to each other and decided not to conduct a trial. They just wanted to go through the motions and send the case to Xiao Renwu. Maybe he would even get a reward.

In less than five minutes, five strong and sturdy female soldiers who looked very powerful walked in. Under the guidance of two male officers, they approached Luna.
