UC will eventually reach the stars

"No need!" Jung squinted. If it weren't for the fact that Io's side had been engaged in a prolonged battle, he wouldn't have wanted to interfere at all! After all, Ye Yun had provided them with mobile support.

"Commander Ye Yun... how did you know the location of the enemy warship? It's like a superpower." The last member of the squad asked softly.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Yazan glared at the Short Sword 105 pilot, tilting his head slightly as if scanning his teammate. Their current responsibility was to escort Jung and replace the particle canisters in Jung's Mega Particle Cannon when necessary.

It wasn't that Ye Yun was stingy and wouldn't replace Rong Ge's device with one that could use the Mega Particle Furnace. Rather, Rong Ge had heard that because the Mega Particle Furnace used a power-reduced version of the Zaku 2 furnace, its output was limited to a safe range of about 650KW, so the particle cannon needed to be reloaded every 2 to 3 minutes.

Jung immediately lost interest. Although the particle canister could only fire three shots in a row, if necessary, all of them could be fired within a minute, and then the particle capsule could be replaced.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Among the Federation Space Forces MS pilots in Luna II, some have chosen to use both artillery packs. However, the current consensus is that the final production version of the artillery pack should either have more ammunition or a shorter charging time. In short, the current artillery packs have an extremely low margin for error, and users' mentality oscillates between 'the enormous power of 10MW upon hit' and 'the extreme frustration of missing'...

“Besides… the other side clearly has an ace up their sleeve, and Commander Ye Yun must be eager to test his skills against him.” Jung finished speaking, glancing at something out of the corner of his eye and a slight smile playing on his lips. He saw Yazan and Laila laughing on the communication screen. “Looks like my shot wasn’t wasted!”

"Ah! Yes!" Layla raised her hand and fired a flashbang in one direction, then activated the thrusters on her back and charged forward.

"Those damn Federation troops..." Clearly, the Zeon MS pilot who had stealthily flown out hadn't seen when Lyra threw the flashbang during her gun-flicking motion. After all, just like the Army's fondness for using shrapnel, the Space Force was also extremely skilled at using flashbangs!

Experienced Zeon veterans who had fought on the front lines of Luna 2 for a long time would almost instinctively start to dodge the moment they saw the Federation forces raise their damned TYPE-59s. Otherwise, the short swords that rushed out from the bright light would have taken them all out with their dense bursts of 90mm short shots.

The Zeon soldiers in front of them were clearly trained and made an evasive maneuver, but they were obviously unfamiliar with the Solar Punch technique used by the Earth Federation MS pilots of Luna 2!

They did make an evasive maneuver, but they didn't have time to finish it. By the time they tried to complete the maneuver, it was too late! Leila and Yazan had already flanked them from both sides.

"Zeon bastards!" Lyra kicked the other's body, and the two Zaku collided. Then, both Zaku received a full-blown massage of 75 rounds of 90mm mixed ammunition! The two Zaku were completely soaked and exploded into a heap.

"You're really willing to do that!" Yazan shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but Lyra's movements were too fast, and she wouldn't let go once she pulled the trigger, so Yazan wisely didn't even consider competing for kills and simply watched the battle unfold. "Get out of the way!"

A 280mm rocket launcher was fired directly from the blind spot above the two of them. If they were unlucky, this rocket launcher could have seriously damaged Lyra's Dagger 105. After all, the angle and timing of the attack seemed to be perfect. The two Lyra and Yazan units that launched the attack did not even notice them.

However, this doesn't mean others didn't notice!

The Mega Particle Stream arrived in an instant, engulfing the rocket and then directly bombarding the Zaku's torso, almost completely melting away the entire body!

Zaku's single eye flickered twice, as if it had exhausted the last bit of life force in its body, before finally returning to stillness.

"You two...shouldn't you pay a little attention? The cannon armor only has one shot left, oh, it seems there isn't any left!" As Jung spoke, he pulled the trigger again, and a thick stream of particles shot out from the muzzle, accurately hitting a Zaku that seemed to be trying to escape. However, a huge explosion then occurred, and the extremely high temperature almost engulfed everything near the epicenter.

"The Zaku's furnace looks like it's exploded!" Yazan, maneuvering his Dagger 105, pulled the electric sword from the wreckage of a Zaku. "Trying to attack me again? Ha, foolish!"

"That's the funny thing about this artillery combat system—how many furnaces has Jung detonated already?" Lyra was changing magazines in her vehicle. Thanks to the new auxiliary module, it could be done automatically with a single button press when safe, giving her a moment to grab an energy drink. However, since they were in the middle of battle, Lyra didn't refill her energy drink.

"I haven't counted, but it seems like one was detonated over there too!" Yazan turned his head, and the Short Sword 105 also projected the image over. Near the Salamis-class, a ball of blazing fire was radiating high temperatures.

"The RX-78 Gundam Unit 1 from Operation V?" Jung squinted. Another Dagger from his squad was helping him load another particle canister, while also stuffing the previously emptied particle canisters into his replenishment pack. "As expected of the Federation's top-secret project, designed to outdo Project G."

"It's a pity that something this expensive is really not something we can drive," Leila said with a smile. "I'm still hoping that I might get one of those in the third phase of the project that Commander Ye Yun mentioned."

"I think you'd better not dream." Yazan rolled his eyes. "Only those in the top ten of the Federation Army's kill list have a chance. We don't have that." Yazan poured cold water on someone's enthusiasm. To be honest, he wanted it too. "Captain Jung could probably try to get the right to use the artillery-type Storm."

“It’s not my turn. At most, I can try for Thunder or Duel. Storm is most likely Ye Yun’s machine.” After confirming that the particle canisters of the artillery combat equipment were fully loaded, Jung, who had returned to the battle, did not explain much. However, Laila and Yazan, who had fought alongside him for a long time, immediately understood what Jung meant.

The fully-equipped Short Sword that Jung is using, although it is called the Short Sword base and not the Short Sword 105, in fact, this Short Sword, which has been finely tuned by Kinias, performs far better than the regular Short Sword 105. Especially when combined with the 180 heavy cannon and artillery armor, plus a dedicated command module, one can roughly guess what the Storm, the artillery-specialized machine of the third phase of Project G, will look like.

This is definitely a machine that fits Ye Yun’s current combat mode perfectly. Well… perhaps most people hope it fits perfectly, since no one wants Ye Yun to go directly to the front line of battle. Federation commanders of Ye Yun’s type are already too rare, and no one wants him to perish for no reason.

"Another one exploded? Is Commander Ye Yun going on a killing spree today?" Leila exclaimed. Suddenly, another intense fireball exploded in the distance. The 90mm machine gun in Short Sword 105's hand couldn't penetrate the furnace, so the only ones present who could do this were Jung's artillery combat equipment and Ye Yun's Gundam Unit 1.

——————————————3 minutes ago————————————————

"Huh?" A Zaku pilot was spun around by the sudden impact and couldn't help but scream. However, the impact was too strong. Even though he had tried his best to react, it took more than ten seconds for his mobile suit to stabilize. This was enough time for Ye Yun to operate the Gundam and draw his gun from behind.

Although the mega particle stream fired from the light gun was not as terrifying as the 10MW mega particle stream from the artillery battle armor, it was still enough to pierce through the Zaku's body.

With a seemingly casual strike, the powerfully focused Mega Particle Beam pierced not only the Zaku's body but also its Mega Particle Reactor.

"Tsk tsk! This explosion... Zeon didn't at least not when they were manufacturing the Zaku... Hmm?" Just as Ye Yun was marveling at the solid materials used by the Zeon military, he suddenly pulled the control stick, and Gundam Unit 1 immediately made an emergency retreat, with a series of 90mm bullets flying past in front of Gundam Unit 1.

"It still has paint." Ye Yun frowned as he watched the target's malice, killing intent, and anger surge forth. A strange sense of irritation rose within him. Just then, the opponent emptied all the ammunition in the machine gun magazine, swung the machine gun, grabbed an axe from behind, and drew it out, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the strange-looking "black short sword" in front of him!

However, he clearly miscalculated. The Gundam's reaction far exceeded his expectations. The lightsaber, which did not need to consider armor penetration at all, easily swept past the Zaku's wrist. In the instant they passed each other, Ye Yun manipulated the situation, grabbed the hilt with his backhand, and the hilt unfolded into a spear mode. The spearhead of the beam pierced through the Zaku's body.

"What?!" Jabi Hassad, the Zeon ace who had wounded/shot down more than 18 Federation Daggers (some of which were unconfirmed or shared), was not filled with fear when he was finally pierced by a beam spear that came from behind. Instead, he was filled with disbelief.

Chapter 165 The Beginning of Chaos

Captain White inserted an encrypted data card salvaged from the Zeon wreckage into the terminal, and a standard Zeon military encrypted message immediately appeared on the holographic projection screen. This message used the Zeon Mobile Assault Force's encryption format, which was not high-level; the Federation Forces were already capable of deciphering this encryption format.

"Intelligence recovered from the main control computer of the warship wreckage." Captain White adjusted the contrast of the display screen, making the text, glowing with a bluish light, clearer. His fingertips slid rapidly across the holographic keyboard, highlighting key information in red. "Although the format is standardized, the content is quite intriguing."

Ye Yun rested his hands on the tactical table, leaning slightly forward. Perhaps because he had just come from the battlefield, Ye Yun's eyes were unusually cold; even some veterans would subconsciously avoid his gaze. He scanned each line of text. This telegram used a point-to-point transmission security mode, and its content was concise: Ordering the 88th Mobile Squadron to immediately proceed to a specific coordinate point in the L3 space zone to assemble and prepare for the operation.

"A rallying order?" Ye Yun's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table. "It seems Zeon is planning a large-scale operation." He suddenly sat up and turned to the communications officer. "Immediately encrypt and transmit this intelligence to Luna 2, with the highest priority."

The communications officer's fingers flew across the control panel: "Sent, sir." His voice suddenly faltered. "Luna 2's communications appear to be silent. We can only transmit via regular laser communication, and it's expected to take some time to receive confirmation."

A deathly silence fell over the tactical room. This unusual situation caused everyone's expressions to turn serious. Ye Yun's brows furrowed; he recalled the routine report he had received three days ago regarding Luna 2 undergoing equipment maintenance. Now, thinking back, the timing seemed far too coincidental.

"Intelligence regarding Operation V may have been leaked." Ye Yun's voice was soft, but clearly audible in the silent tactics room. A long face flashed through his mind—the Irish lieutenant general from the intelligence department, the man who always scrutinized him with a sinister gaze. The silence of this period had a reason; it was waiting for him here.

"Could it be that stupid?" Captain White muttered doubtfully, but then shook his head in self-doubt. They all knew that in the game of power, leaks were often not out of stupidity, but rather out of careful calculation.

Ye Yun sneered, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the tactics room: "Some people will betray even their own parents and lovers to climb the ranks, let alone military secrets?" His gaze finally settled on the space outside the porthole, where warship wreckage floated, "Just like those madmen of Zeon, who, for their so-called 'ideals,' would not hesitate to smash colonies into Earth."

Captain White nodded gravely. "What's more troublesome is that our location has been exposed. Combat logs show that one of the Musai-class ships activated emergency acceleration at the last moment and successfully escaped the battlefield." He pulled up the last radar image, showing the battered Zeon warship disappearing into deep space, trailing a plasma tail.

"Cima and the others did their best." Ye Yun recalled the scene he saw when he returned to the bridge: Lieutenant Commander Cima Karahau's ashen face and the two kicked and deformed trash cans in the corridor. The anger of this Zeon traitor was completely understandable—in the battle just now, they had destroyed three Musai-class ships, and the last target escaped under the cover of the first three.

The door to the tactics room slid open abruptly, and Sima herself strode in. Her uniform jacket was casually draped over her shoulders, and blood still seeped from the bandage on her right hand. "Finished the analysis?" Her voice held suppressed anger. "That escaped M'sai carried at least one high-ranking commander. I intercepted their encrypted communications during the engagement, and someone repeatedly mentioned 'Lady Kycilia's orders.'"

The news exploded like a bomb in the tactics room. The presence of Kycilia Zabi, one of the de facto heads of the Zabi family, meant the situation was far more serious than initially thought.

Ye Yun immediately pulled up the star map, zooming in on the L3 space region at the center of the holographic projection. "If we combine this with other intelligence we intercepted earlier..." He traced several flight paths in the air with his finger, "If it really is the start of a large-scale troop buildup, then there's only one possible explanation: Luna 2, or... us?"

"And we happen to be on our way to Luna 2." Captain White's face turned pale. "It's too much of a coincidence. It's like they're using a perfect pretext to cover up their real objective; they're using a diversionary tactic."

Sima suddenly slammed her fist on the control panel: "Damn it! We're like rabbits that jumped into a trap!" Her eyes burned with fury. "Those bastards must have found out about Gundam; we've been betrayed again!"

At least most people agree on this, after all, Operation V is currently the Federation Forces' top-level secret, and the combat capabilities demonstrated by Gundam Unit 1 certainly justify it. But who could have imagined that Kycilia and the others actually wanted to kill Ye Yun? Such is the consequence of careless words.

Ye Yun stared silently at the star map, his mind racing. They now faced a difficult choice: continue as planned, raiding and maneuvering the Zeon forces at the front lines, risking falling into a possible ambush; or end it here and return to Luna 2.

"We have a tough battle ahead," Ye Yun suddenly ordered. "Contact Luna 2 headquarters again with the highest encryption level." He turned to Sima, "At the same time, have the maintenance team speed up the repair work. I want all mobile suits back to combat readiness within three hours."

After Sima left to carry out her orders, Captain White lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think the Zeon forces wouldn't attack Luna II?"

"I won't make pointless guesses. If Zeon had the capability, they would have acted long ago; they wouldn't have waited until now," Ye Yun interrupted him, but a shadow of unease flashed in his eyes. "But we must prepare for the worst." He pointed to the location of the wreckage area on the star map. "If we don't receive a response from Luna 2, we'll move to this backup rendezvous point in two hours."

Just then, the communications officer suddenly exclaimed, "Sir! SOS!" His fingers trembled as he adjusted the frequency. "It's...it's an emergency distress signal from the Luna 2 patrol squad!"

The air in the tactical room froze instantly. The intermittent communication was punctuated by explosions and alarms: "...massive attack underway...repeated...Zeon main force...requesting immediate support..."

Ye Yun and Captain White exchanged a serious look.

The situation seems to be getting out of control. Originally, the Earth Federation Forces headquarters hoped to draw the Zeon forces' attention to Ye Yun's unit, thus creating a relatively quiet opportunity for the Federation Forces headquarters to prepare for the decisive battle on the ground. Then, when everything was over, the Federation Forces' offensive would crush all the Zeon forces on the entire Eurasian and African battlefields.

However, this does not mean that the Earth Federation Forces want to fight a large-scale decisive battle in space when they are not fully prepared, especially since the Zeon forces still have the advantage in terms of troop strength. Even if they can win by fighting to the death, the final result will definitely be a huge loss for the Earth Federation Forces, and it will not be worth the effort.

Especially now that Luna 2 is the Earth Federation Forces' only stronghold in space, it is absolutely impossible for it to be used as a bargaining chip at any gambling table.

"First, we need to verify this matter. Also, if the other side intends to attack Luna 2, they will inevitably need to gather a large amount of resources in space. Isn't this a good opportunity for us?" Ye Yun squinted at the star map. After all, for Ye Yun, if he could handle the logistical support, who would want to fight on the front lines?

“But this means we might have to go deep behind enemy lines!” Captain White frowned and thought for a moment. Ye Yun’s plan was feasible, but going deep into Zeon’s controlled territory on the battlefield was not a good idea.

Especially at this stage, MS are indeed very powerful, but their consumption of resources is extremely high. After all, each MS carries nearly 200 rounds of ammunition, a squad carries 800 rounds, and if you include a replenishment pack of 400 rounds, a single sortie carries nearly 1200 rounds of 90mm shells. Then there are flashbangs, 380mm rockets, battery replenishment, and so on, all of which are consumed.

Even with Trafalgar's enormous storage capacity, it couldn't fully meet the needs of long-term, large-scale sabotage operations behind enemy lines, let alone the two modified ships that only possessed basic MS operational capabilities.

Salamis-class light aircraft carrier (rumored to soon be named Claudius-class light assault carrier).

“So, we need a resupply, and... we can see if they’re really coming for us.” Ye Yun tapped on a patch of space. “Send one or two Salamis-class ships to the vicinity of Luna 2, find a trustworthy ship to relay our request for a resupply, and then we’ll formally send a resupply request.”

"...Should we contact more MS units?" Captain White took a deep breath. Ye Yun's strategy was simple but effective. If the other side really had high-level spies in the Federation Army, then this information would almost certainly be sent to the Zeon Army, and then they would almost immediately know whether it was aimed at them.

As for why they were being targeted, Captain White felt that Colonel Ye Yun himself was the answer, not to mention that their ship also possessed Gundam Unit 1, which should be considered one of the Earth Federation Forces' top-secret assets. The former was filled with intense hatred, and the latter was highly classified; either one was enough to justify the Zeon forces' actions against them.

"Let's get started as soon as possible. We can't let the Zeon forces be too idle, or they'll start causing trouble for Earth."

Chapter 166 Colonel Ye, lead us in one more charge!

When the radar officer reported detecting friendly signals, Ye Yun was staring at the constantly updated enemy situation analysis on the tactical panel. Thirty-six hours of covert navigation had everyone on edge, and this sudden support sent a jolt through the entire bridge.

"Signal code confirmed: 6 Salamis-class and 2 Columbus-class transport ships." The communications officer's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "Four more Salamis-class ships have been added, belonging to the underground orbital cluster. The Columbus-class is the identification code for the Third Supply Squadron!"

Ye Yun and Captain White exchanged a surprised glance. The ability to organize such a large supply fleet in such a short time far exceeded their expectations. After all, small-scale battles were constantly taking place within the Federation Space Force, and transport capacity wasn't particularly abundant; Ye Yun was indeed somewhat surprised that they could arrive so quickly.

"Reconfirm the other party's identity once more, activate the resupply guidance beacon, and prepare for docking," Captain White ordered. He needed to double-check the identity verification results of the incoming ship. After confirming everything was correct, he turned to Captain Ye Yun: "I'll have the maintenance crew prepare. We need to complete the resupply as quickly as possible. The situation with the MS forces is now up to you, Colonel Ye Yun."

As the six Federation warships slowly approached, Ye Yun witnessed a shocking scene through the porthole: every Salamis-class ship was covered in fresh battle scars, one of which had even lost a third of its armor plating, exposing internal wiring that was sparking with electricity. Yet these battered warships maintained a perfect escort formation, firmly protecting the two transport ships in the center.

The docking process was exceptionally efficient. There were no lengthy pleasantries, no cumbersome handover procedures; the two fleets coordinated with the same seamless teamwork as if they had practiced countless times before. The massive cargo doors of the Columbus-class transport ship slowly opened, revealing stacked supply containers. Ye Yun noticed that these supplies were not arranged neatly and systematically like the usual Federal Army stockpiles; rather, they seemed to have been counted and then crammed in as quickly as possible, wherever there was room.

"It seems the supplies Luna 2 prepared for us were delivered in a very rushed manner," Captain White said in a low voice, a hint of emotion in his eyes. "Everyone seems to have done their best."

Just as the resupply operation was in full swing, an unexpected communication request came in. Two captains in Federation Space Force uniforms appeared on the screen, their shoulder insignia indicating the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"Colonel Ye Yun," one of the captains, sporting a thick beard, spoke first, "I am Uhuaia, captain of the Salamis-class 'Storm.' This is Captain Marquez of the 'Thunder.'" He paused, a determined glint in his eyes, "We request to join your task force."

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback. According to Federal military regulations, such temporary cross-unit formations required formal orders from higher command. He was about to explain when Uhuaia preemptively stated, "We have already obtained permission from the Luna 2 temporary command." He displayed an electronic command document, "So please rest assured."

This sudden news caused an uproar in the tactics room. Ye Yun carefully examined the encrypted seal on the order, confirming its authenticity, but his brows furrowed even more: "Gentlemen, I must state that the mission we are about to carry out is extremely dangerous, it is very likely..."

Ye Yun initially wanted to persuade the other party, but unexpectedly, the captain named Uhuaia suddenly gave Ye Yun a reason that Ye Yun could not refuse: "Colonel, we all know the risks, but not participating in the underground orbital battle last time was already a heartbreaking reason for all the space fleet captains. Now that I have encountered it this time, I will not miss it. Moreover, there are other people in the base who are in contact. If there is really an opportunity, we are willing to mobilize as a whole and try to take off the head of another Zabi besides Kalma."

Ye Yun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his tooth. He hadn't expected that a casual remark he'd made in Chabro would have reached the Space Force in just a few days. What shocked him even more was Uhuaia's next words: "Actually, if it weren't for the time constraints, four more Salamis-class ships would be on their way to join us. If the timing is right, at least four remaining squadrons of Luna 2 would be willing to cooperate in the attack."

"Wait..." Ye Yun raised his hand to signal a pause. He needed to sort out his thoughts. "Are you serious? Just because of that...that sentence of mine?" He suddenly realized that he might have seriously underestimated the extent of the Space Army's hatred for the Zeon Army. After all, the vast majority of the Space Army were not recruited from Earth. In other words, every member of the Earth Federation Space Army truly carried a blood feud against Zeon.

Who hasn't had relatives or friends die at the hands of Zeon?

These guys really want to fight Zeon to the death!

Now that they've finally caught Ye Yun, they want to lead the charge, but the others have already brought their own equipment.

Uhuaia and Marquez exchanged a smile. "Colonel," Marquez explained, "no one desires a glorious victory to wash away this shame more than we do. And your performance on the ground has only reinforced our belief that this opportunity is once in a lifetime." He lowered his voice. "Besides, this time, the Zeon army's mobilization has been confirmed by numerous intelligence channels. Whatever they intend to do, we must make them understand that no matter how much they struggle, their defeat is inevitable."

Ye Yun took off his military cap and flicked it. He finally understood why these space force captains were so excited—they saw not only a battle for revenge, but also an opportunity to wash away their shame.

"Have you figured out how to face the punishment?" Ye Yun's lips curled into an excited smile as he patted the tactical console. Without even asking, Ye Yun knew perfectly well that these captains' so-called "permissions" were mostly issued hastily, or even worse, acted without prior notice. As for whether they had engaged in extreme acts like forging signatures, only they themselves truly knew. But without a doubt, such behavior was enough to ruin an officer's future.

Captain Uhuaia straightened his back: "Colonel, if we can really take down a Zabi, it'll be worth it even if we have to go to a military court." His eyes burned with a resolute flame. "Besides... our Space Force owes you a favor."

At this point, Captain Uhuaia sighed, "After the Battle of Loom 5, the morale of the entire Space Force collapsed. We couldn't accept such a result, but... after the results of the Low Earth Orbit campaign came in, everything changed. We went from 'why did we lose' to 'we will definitely win.' You led us out of that situation."

Uhuaia recalled this process with some pain. When he learned that the Zeon army was going to launch Operation L5, a repeat of Operation Britannia that had killed hundreds of millions, even billions, of people, the entire Federation Space Force was determined to wipe out the Zeon army this time! To avenge the dead!

However, the final outcome... the Federation forces were defeated in the Battle of Loom 5! This was a devastating blow to the entire Federation Space Force! Many people found it unbelievable after returning to Earth, especially since the Zeon forces later captured Reibill, which made the entire Federation Space Force even more upset. To say that morale collapsed during this period is actually a slightly positive description.

To put it bluntly, the feeling of the returning Federation soldiers was like the sky had fallen!

Especially shortly afterward, a large number of high-ranking officers from the Federation Space Forces rushed to Earth, giving many Federation Space Force soldiers a feeling of being abandoned, and their morale plummeted at an alarming rate.

Under such circumstances, they still need to fight the Zeon forces every day around Luna 2 and in the Low Earth Orbit. The fact that they can maintain their fighting spirit is already a source of pride for these soldiers, supporting them to fight the Zeon forces to the bitter end.

Ye Yun suddenly felt a sense of disorientation. He realized he was standing at a crucial historical juncture—this spontaneously assembled fleet, these reckless soldiers, were demonstrating through their actions what true fighting spirit meant. This stood in stark contrast to the scheming bureaucrats he had encountered in Chabro.

If we can lead them to victory once again, the entire Federal Space Force will regain its determination to win!

"Alright." Ye Yun took a deep breath and made a decision. He knew very well that doing this might be seen by many people as unorthodox and unruly, which would definitely affect his career.

But to let down these brave soldiers and front-line officers? To hell with it! Ye Yun couldn't do it.

If Ye Yun were truly so hesitant, he wouldn't have openly asked North American officers in Chabro to keep an eye on Kalma Zabi for him!

"Welcome to the team, but one thing must be clear—" Ye Yun's voice suddenly turned stern, "This operation may be extremely brutal, and everyone may perish in the battle, so... I expect everyone to adhere to discipline and obey orders."

The two captains immediately saluted: "Understood, sir!" Communication was lost. Clearly, the two captains also had a lot to do. At the very least, they had to arrange everything for the return of the two more seriously damaged Salamis-class ships. After all, they had already fought a battle with the Zeon forces on their way here, and on the return voyage, the two Columbus-class transport ships and the damaged Salamis-class ships would need other ships to escort them.

After the communication ended, Captain White couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you really planning to...?" To be honest, Captain White was really looking forward to Ye Yun's answer, because he knew that Ye Yun was not a person who would back down. Even if you couldn't defeat the enemy head-on, it didn't mean that you were invincible. In addition, Ye Yun wanted victory, but there were many ways to achieve such victory.

Ye Yun glanced out the porthole at the fleet that was rapidly replenishing supplies, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Since the arrow is already on the bowstring, let's shoot it beautifully." He pulled up a star map and drew a red circle around the likely location of the Zeon fleet. "We'll probably be busy from now on. We have a lot to do. We need to finish the replenishment as soon as possible, and then we need some probing attacks. At the very least, we can't let the Zeon forces continue to regroup."

“So…” White looked at Ye Yun with a very strange expression, because the enemies Ye Yun circled were expected to be quite large.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Chapter 167 An unexpected gain

Gundam Unit 1 flew rapidly through the wreckage area at an almost suicidal speed, tumbling and flipping through the debris field. Sometimes it would stop abruptly to avoid pieces of debris, large or small, and sometimes it would use a slight, brief boost to create a spin and bypass the obstacles in front of it.

"Hey! The Federation's new MS model is even more mobile than the Heavy Armored Dagger!" A dozen or so High Mobility Zaku were also struggling to fly up and down in the wreckage area, trying their best to chase Gundam Unit 1. However, due to the excessive speed of the opponent, they were already somewhat powerless. If it weren't for the fact that they were flying in the wreckage area, they would really be unable to catch up.

"The opponent must be a super ace, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fly like that! However, if we just keep chasing like this, we might run out of fuel very quickly." The Zeon soldier quickly realized this. This new type of Federation aircraft, which they had never seen before, was not only powerful, but the pilot's skills were also excellent. It was so slippery that it was difficult to catch.
