Ed used Harry to contact Roland as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the Roland and his wife were not doing any physical and mental health activities at this time, and ordered Harry to pick up Ed immediately to discuss important matters. The situation is critical, and the Moon's five-person core team needs an immediate meeting.
He changed his clothes and came to the living room, thinking about the current situation while waiting. Shouting "impossible" and "how could" is something a character would do in one episode. He has the most information, and he needs to think about countermeasures.
According to the content of the email, it is speculated that Harman does not want to see Genesis attack the moon but is unable to stop it, then either Char's personality has changed and he has lost control, or something has changed in PLANT. Given the unsettling factor of Cruze, the latter is more likely. But for some reason Haman was still able to move freely and even be trusted, otherwise it would be impossible to send this level of classified information.
As the moon side, Genesis must be destroyed, but it is determined not to expose the weakness of Moonlight Butterfly, which means that a full-scale war cannot be launched. There must be a reason not to use the Moonlight Butterfly, otherwise everyone would want to share a piece of the moon's big cake, and they could avoid the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day. Without absolute deterrence, no amount of Jie Gang would be enough.
The ideal situation should be to send a certain number of troops - this is up to Roland's judgment - to forcefully demolish Genesis in a blitzkrieg, and then pretend to make a statement calmly afterwards, and maybe take some other measures. In short, you can't let people see that they are guilty, and they have to believe that "this time it's all over, and I'll make fun of my Moonlight Butterfly. Be honest." While there is also a risk of exposure, at least in this case there is room for diplomatic good offices. Frankly speaking, since the moon lost TurnA, every time the moon is threatened, it has to rely on cheating.
ZAFT has recently strategically shrunk back to the universe. Relying on a few fortresses and the federal army, they are in a stalemate. I don’t know how long it can last. If the moon does not start a full-scale war, what will it rely on to destroy Genesis? Jie Gang is still relying on the Federation’s Jim III. ? There are no options at the beginning, and the high-end combat power that can be used at this time will never be idle at home.
If you die today, you will die, if you make a big plan, you will die. Waiting to die, is it okay to die
"Ed, are you going out so late?" Lux pushed open the door in her pajamas and walked out, "Is something serious? You look terrible."
"You haven't slept yet?" He looked at the clock and it was almost twelve o'clock. "Alright, don't rush to sleep and wait for me to contact you later. It's hard to say now, but it will start tonight at the earliest."
"What's the matter?" Lux's expression also became serious. "You can only talk about the categories you can disclose. I won't ask about the secrets that I shouldn't know."
"ZAFT has received a very credible report that there is a gamma-ray laser cannon called Genesis aimed at the moon, ready to strike directly at ultra-long-range. The power is terrifying, I am afraid it can directly destroy the entire capital." He felt that Lack Si has the right to know this, "I will go to His Royal Highness Roland and the others to discuss countermeasures, you wait for my notice."
"...The moon's super weapon can't be used, right? I guess I guessed your expression." Lux lowered her head, her beautiful pink hair hanging down from the sides, "Ed, you came back like that before, and said It's a problem that even you can't solve, and now it's like this, there are too many clues."
"You're so smart." Ed sighed. "Too smart."
"Are you worried that a girl who is too smart won't be able to marry? I don't think so." Lux smiled reluctantly, but she couldn't think of a joke, "Destroy a city remotely, this is what PLANT is now. Practice... Is there any way we can help ourselves? Evacuation doesn't make sense to me, and your side is my only shelter."
"If there is a way, I will definitely come up with a way." He encouraged the girl and himself, "It was agreed long ago that I will protect you."
Lux looked at him for a few seconds, then stepped forward and hugged him gently. The girl's pajamas are very thin, and the white is still a bit transparent under the light, but Eddie can't have any charming thoughts at the moment, just hug her back silently.
After a while, he arrived at Roland's residence under Harry's pick-up, and the Queen and Kim Karam were all dressed up waiting. He briefly described the information he received and the conclusions he had thought about before.
"Dian and I completely trust your judgment, Doctor. As long as you think there is no problem with this information, Doctor, we will act on it." Roland's expression was serious, "I don't know when the other party will start launching, so we'd better Immediately dispatch. It is possible for the moon to send a certain number of troops, but according to the star map provided by Miss Kahn, there are high-quality troops guarding near Genesis."
"So I have to have a veteran ACE rate elite like me to open the way, unparalleled into the enemy's line, and directly blasted the super weapon." Jin Karam looked very excited, and peace was different, "I haven't done it for decades, I Hungry and thirst."
"Can your old bones withstand the inertial force of MS?" Harry smiled disdainfully, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please let me fight."
"Harry, you stay here to protect the queen and the prince. You haven't touched MS in decades, so don't make trouble for me." Jin Karam responded unceremoniously, "This time the task is more arduous, I only The veterans with the highest combat effectiveness and loyalty can be selected. There is a big gap in the strength of the two sides, and in the end, it is likely to become a large army of firepower cover, and a few elites take the opportunity to break in.”
"... So I have to play in person." Ed looked at Roland with a stunned expression, "I said, Your Highness Roland, don't say anything sorry, what's wrong with me trying to protect my home? Besides, this kind of life and death There's no reason to put silver mines in Gnaku at this juncture."
"I still underestimate Dr. Adrian." Roland looked complicated, "Although I really don't want you to take the risk yourself, I can't help but be willful at this critical juncture."
"Doctor, I won't say what kind of battlefield you are a scholar, I can feel your enlightenment." Jin Karam walked to Ed and patted him on the shoulder hard, "But your MS is terrifyingly big. , I'm afraid my warship can't hold it, do you want to fly over by yourself?"
"Just lend me some manpower. I have a special support ship." Ed thought of his own small cargo ship. "There is no reason for those employees in my family to go to the battlefield."
Next is the home game of Jin Karam. He made a battle plan on the spot and assigned Eddard a stressful task to the best of his ability. After the meeting, everyone acted quickly and is expected to attack this morning. Ed called Lux to explain the results of the meeting. When he got home, Lux had already changed and waited for him.
"I'll go with you," the girl said decisively. "I don't accept the second option. I refuse to wait at home, and I refuse to run away alone. If the ship is destroyed, it's a big deal to die together. If we succeed, we will go home together."
"—"
"The ship is safer than here. If the battle fails, the chances of surviving on the moon surface are zero, and there is still a slight chance of surviving on the ship." Lux interrupted him before he could speak, "I haven't escaped anywhere except you. Meaning, evacuation is of no use to me. Your ships can't be handed over to outsiders, and I have learned to pilot warships. If there are other reasons that I didn't think of, you can tell me, and I will refute them one by one."
"...You are so scary now, not as cute as before." He was defeated, "Let's go together."
"Is it cute before? Like this?" The girl immediately put on a playful smile, "By the way, Mr. Uraki, I have left a good message for him on my own initiative, and asked him to go on a business trip to Earth tomorrow, Ed, you will definitely I don't think he's a Moonman, just an employee, so he can't get involved. I've informed Asuka, he'll go directly to the ship to assemble in a moment, I've already made up a reason for you not to explain the Moonlight Butterfly thing. Mayo will let her Go to evacuation with Mr. Uraki, don't worry."
"...I haven't said anything yet."
"Is there something wrong?" Lux tilted her head cutely. "It's all my judgment based on what I know about Ed. There shouldn't be anything wrong."
"That's the question, why is it all right." He let out a breathless sigh, "Am I that easy to understand?"
"Sometimes it's easy to understand, and sometimes it's completely incomprehensible." The girl held his hands gently, "For example, I can still see that you are nervous now, no matter how conscious you are, you will still feel the fear of death. , this is human nature, all I can do is to give you comfort and courage. Today is a special situation, I will give you a chance, you can ask any requests now, okay?"
"...I want to hear you sing." He said his truest thoughts, "There is still a while before the gathering time, I can listen to several songs."
"It's very similar to what Ed said. I guessed this too, but I'm not happy I guessed it at all." Lux smiled helplessly, cleared her throat, and began to sing acapella.
When the artificial sky was slightly lit, Ed and others had already set off on a battleship that was nominally a cargo ship. Its unique shape made it very conspicuous among the ships, especially the huge asymmetrical hanging on both sides of the hull. components.
"Ed, it's time to exchange correspondence, are you really going to tell General Kinkalam that this ship is called the blue-eyed white dragon?" Lux looked at him embarrassedly from the captain's seat, " I don’t have any opinion. From Ed’s paper, it can be seen that you are indeed very funny. I might as well have been used to it. But General Jinkaram will tell Prince Roland and the others when he goes back. Do you want His Royal Highness to know too?"
Asuka pretended to look around at the scenery. Although he also wanted to give advice, he would not participate in the family affairs of Miss Lux and the Doctor.
"Why do you all have so much opinion on this name? It's quite suitable. Really, don't pretend to be stupid and betray you with your expression." Lux complaining about this at this time made everyone nervous, "I can The other names I came up with are actually in this style, otherwise it's called Magic Conch? Teletubbies? Iserlohn?-"
"Isn't the last one normal?" Lux asked puzzled. "Although I don't know what the allusions are, it sounds like a good name, so why not just use that?"
"Yes, yes, this name is very good." Asuka seems to have resented for a long time, "I also think this is a good name, change the name, Mr. Adrian."
"...It's very unlucky." But Ed thought about the way Roland and Diana were secretly laughing at home, "Forget it for the time being, I'll go back and think about it. Really, I'll tell you about the battle plan now."
"Yes!" Flying Bird's expression became positive.
"The exterior of the Genesis has heavy full-coverage PS armor, which is expected to withstand the battleship's main guns, so we had to go deep into the launch channel and place high explosives directly inside. And every shot of the Genesis severely damages its own reflections. Mirror components, it takes hours to replace, our goal is to take advantage of the gap between replacing parts after the first shot and break into the Genesis to destroy it.”
"After the first shot?" Asuka widened her eyes in disbelief. "Isn't the first shot aimed at the moon? I thought we would be too late at any time."
"Genesis will indeed be launched at any time from now on. We don't have time to react when the first shot hits the moon. Even if the Moonlight Butterfly hits the moon directly, there is a high probability of death, but this is not in line with the purpose of Harman's tip-off." Ed is very sure. He said, "She is a smart person and won't do meaningless things. Since Harman has provided this information about changing the mirror, he will never let the first shot to the moon, she will be responsible for buying us time."
…
"I don't think it's a good idea to directly expose our strategic goals for the first test firing of a weapon that has never been used before." Harman looked at Sarah grimly, "The short- and medium-range experiments can't explain the problem, this If there is any error in the distance sniping, it will be infinite, and if we don’t hit the capital, we will be counterattacked and wiped out in an instant.”
"Miss Kahn is right." Sarah nodded. "Is there any good advice?"
"It is our legitimate right to target the fleet of the Earth Federation first." Harman said unhurriedly, "It will take a long time for the news to spread from the survivors of the Earth Federation to the moon, waiting for their response. By the time we got here, we had already proofread the second shot."
"Your Excellency Speaker Sarah, what Miss Kahn said has certain truths, but there are also risks." Cruzer couldn't help but suggest, "In case the moon gets the news soon and calls directly..."
"Speaker Sarah, judge for yourself." Haman glanced at Cruzer with a blank expression, "Is it believing in the super weapon that has never been tested, or the inefficiency of the Earth Federation Army."
Sarah was silent for a while, and finally made a decision: "According to Miss Kahn's suggestion, adjust the first target of Genesis to the main fleet of the Earth Federation Army."
"Your Excellency Nasara, I'll take my leave first." Haman nodded to Sarah and walked out of the command room calmly. When no one was around, she said to herself in a low, inaudible voice, "I've done my best, Adrian Lingus, let me see your decision."
