In the universe, the lonely shuttle quickly moved towards the fleet that was gathering far ahead. After receiving Xiao Ran's message, Durandal immediately began to mobilize the Zaft fleet in the universe. All the patrol fleets around the earth were gathered together, and warships converged from all directions towards the gathering point.
After all, twenty-four hours is not a long time, and almost two hours have passed at this time. The battleships have not converged enough to start the battle. At this time, the Orb fleet on the Pillar of Heaven is also heading towards Heading into the same place and reaching out further, a large force led by the Zaft Army's large space aircraft carrier was also rushing towards the meeting point at full speed, and the shuttle Xiao Ran's target this time was Yudi. A large space aircraft carrier that Randall is personally in charge of.
As for the Messiah Space Fortress of the Zaft Army, due to the tight time schedule, it was impossible to reach the scheduled assembly point when the battle began. Just rushing from the front of the PNT to the direction of the moon, considering the mass and speed of the Messiah It also takes several days, so this time the Messiah Cosmic Fortress can only stay at PNT and cannot join the battle.
Although Xiao Ran arranged for three hours for all members of the Silver Hand to enter the universe, it was only to allow the team and combat power to be integrated as quickly as possible, but the military commander of Zaft and Orb's Mina were discussing Later, due to the need to gather forces, and taking into account various factors and influences, the team integration time was extended to eight hours, leaving sixteen hours to start the attack on the moon base on time.
This was only learned after Xiao Ran arrived at the Zaft Army's large aircraft carrier and met with Durandal. However, Xiao Ran had no objections to this. It must be said that Mina's ability in command and combat layout is indeed not bad, otherwise it would not be possible. He will no longer be called the Shadow War God. It can be said that in this area, Mina does have good talents and levels. Of course, after Xiao Ran has experienced so many worlds, his ability in this area is not that good. It is inferior to Mina, but because of his identity as a participant, although Xiao Ran will use various advantages to reduce the difficulty and trouble of the task, in most cases, especially when he is sure that his combat power is superior, he prefers to use Complete the battle by crushing them head-on.
Therefore, Xiao Ran fully understands and understands the layout and arrangement of Mina and Zaft military commander. Whether it is the limitations of real conditions or the arrangement based on the battle, the eight hours of preparation time is indeed not demanding, but in In the subsequent battle, it is necessary to ensure that the joint moon base is completely suppressed within a dozen hours. At this point, Xiao Ran has never lacked confidence in crushing.
It may not even take sixteen hours for Xiao Ran to lead many participants of the Silver Hand, including Aslan, Kira, Mu, Mayu, Zhen, Lei and a series of other senior pilots in this world. With the help of the United States, they directly destroyed the United Moon Base and destroyed the United's ultimate weapon, the Requiem.
When Xiao Ran followed Durandal to the combat command room of the space aircraft carrier, the combat command room belonging to Zaft was also extremely busy at this time. CICs with headsets kept talking into their headsets, and a group of People wearing zaft army black and white uniforms were also discussing combat plans around the large table.
It wasn't until Xiao Ran and Dilandar walked in and were discovered that the entire huge combat conference room suddenly became silent. Everyone, whether they were standing or sitting, straightened up and faced Xiao Ran and Dilan. Dahl gave a military salute in his direction.
Durandal had a serious look on his face. He nodded to the people who were saluting and then looked at Xiao Ran who had an equally serious look on his face. He said, "Sir Xiao Ran, you are a soldier. You know more about combat matters than I do. I'll start with that." Let someone explain to you the current situation and the joint defense line, and I also hope that Sir Xiao Ran can put forward some opinions for everyone's reference."
Xiao Ran nodded, and he and Durandal walked to the huge table and looked at the specific combat diagram with the moon as the core that was projected, and Durandal also looked at a certain man wearing a white military uniform next to him. The middle-aged man nodded, and the latter began to say directly: "Hello, Mr. Xiao Ran, according to the information obtained, two hours have passed before the twenty-four-hour deadline."
"At present, the progress of our army's troop assembly has reached 32%. It will take two to three hours at the fastest to complete the mobilization and rendezvous of all troops. Orb's fleet has also given a specific arrival time and distance. There’s still an hour left.”
"After the two sides join together, our total strength will reach one hundred and two battleships, including seventy-eight Zaft battleships and twenty-four Orb battleships. The total number of MSs that can be invested will exceed one thousand."
"We will integrate and jointly command the forces of both sides within eight hours. To this end, your Prime Minister Mina Lund has left Orb and is rushing to our ship. He should arrive at the same time as the Orb fleet."
"According to the scheduled combat plan, after the battle begins, the troops will be divided into two groups. The first group will have seven layers of troops to attack the joint lunar base directly from the front. Once the two sides fall into a tense battle, the second group will attack from the side of the moon. By bypassing the Requiem, the ultimate weapon that seizes the opportunity to directly defeat the Alliance, once we can defeat the Alliance, our combat goal will be achieved, and then we can avoid direct combat with the Alliance and completely annihilate the Alliance army at the minimum cost."
Xiao Ran didn't nod or shake his head. He just held one hand across his chest and put the other hand on his chin. He listened to the people next to him and looked at the picture displayed on the desktop. Judging from the picture, at this time, the United Nations The fleet is also moving. Judging from the route, the direction of movement is exactly the scheduled rendezvous point negotiated by Orb and Zaft.
Seeing the action route of the combined fleet, Xiao Ran frowned slightly and turned to look at the speaker. Seeing Xiao Ran's eyes, the other person seemed to know what Xiao Ran was thinking, so he replied: "The combined fleet is starting to gather when we start." We have already taken action when we joined forces. These are two joint standard fleets. The number of battleships is uncertain as to how much strength the joint forces have now. We and your Prime Minister Mina Lund agreed that before the official start Before the battle, we must completely capture this fleet in order to weaken the current combat strength of the United Nations."
"For this reason, we have also specially formulated a second rendezvous point." As the man finished speaking, the second rendezvous point on the map began to flash and the specific coordinate description was displayed. Xiao Ran took a look and whispered: " Is it near the moon? Taking advantage of the battle here, the team at the second meeting point will conduct a frontal assault. Then the combat troops that have merged will be the remaining three layers. This risky combat method was probably proposed by our family member. .”
The middle-aged man who spoke nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Yes, this plan was proposed by your Mina Lund, and this ship is not among the remaining troops. Although there are certain risks, we all agree. Use this plan. After all, we have Sir Xiao Ran here, a powerful pilot who can change the occupation on his own. We have our army's super ace Zhen Fei Niao, Ray Za Barrel, and the goddess of victory Minerva. The victory of this battle is beyond doubt."
Xiao Ran nodded, looked at Durandal beside him, and said: "It's just two fleets. Although there are a lot of them, it's not impossible to deal with them. Help me contact the Orb fleets of the Main Angel and the Heavenly Pillar. Tell them to follow Mina's instructions and launch a direct frontal attack on the coalition fortress, allowing Captain Malu Ramias to join forces with Captain Natal Bakirulu after the Archangel enters the universe and rendezvous. Exchanging positions."
Durandal nodded and looked at another person. The person who was glanced at by Durandal also nodded and walked away, and began to contact Orb for Xiao Ran's orders to convey to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran then turned to look at the map on the table and said: "The combined combat power level itself is slightly lower than that of Zaft. The other party can only let two fleets attack, although it has the purpose of disrupting our deployment and preventing us from joining together. Among them, haven’t you considered why you are so confident that you can disrupt us?”
"Of course we have considered this. In our speculation, this fleet probably carries a certain number of high-yield nuclear warheads. Therefore, the difficulty of this battle is to completely defeat those troops carrying nuclear warheads, and it is not just ours. , the troops at the second rendezvous point may also encounter the same problem, and we should also take the joint base's early launch of Requiem into the combat plan, so we have also arranged for your Silver Hand and ours The ace troops attack the first intermediary point of Requiem. Once the first intermediary point is destroyed, the threat of Genesis will be reduced by half."
Xiao Ran nodded, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and asked: "Speaker Durandal, from the time I reminded you to destroy the intermediary points to now, how many intermediary points have you destroyed?"
Durandal shook his head: "It is very difficult to find intermediate points in the universe. So far, our army has only discovered two. We don't know how many intermediate points are scattered around the earth. In short, destroying these two intermediary points may not change the current situation."
"I understand." Xiao Ran breathed out softly. There are now three types of weapons that can cause large-scale damage and killing. One is the Requiem, which is now under the control of the United Nations, and the second is the Zaft Universe Fortress Mi. Saiyan's new creation, and the third one is the large med warhead and large reaction warhead that Xiao Ran has mastered.
Nowadays, Zaft's Genesis is too far away, and because it is a new Genesis specially configured for the Space Fortress, its power is far less than that of the Genesis used in the last war. It is impossible to attack the moon base from the direction of the current Messiah. , but it can also pose a huge threat to the fleet.
The two warheads in Xiao Ran's hands cannot be used at ultra-long distances. They can be said to be the smallest in terms of combat distance among the three weapons, but their power is also not small. One warhead can destroy a fleet, or even directly Hollowing out a chunk of the moon completely destroyed the Joint Base and Requiem's abilities.
Requiem has the longest attack distance, a large attack diameter, powerful penetrating and cutting abilities, changeable angles, and the ability to destroy large-scale fleets. However, it takes the longest to charge, and one attack can directly Destroying Orb can also destroy several PNT hourglass colonies. The power and distance of the weapons completely surpass those of Genesis.
Among the three weapons, Requiem represents the powerful destructive ability at long range, Genesis represents destruction at mid-range, and the two warheads represent nothingness at close range. Because of the differences between the three weapons, it is difficult to distinguish between them. Which of these weapons is better? However, the med warhead has the potential to completely defend against the first two attacks.
The small black hole exploded by the med warhead can be used for attack, and of course it can also be used for defense. Once detonated in front of the attack path of Requiem, the energy of Requiem and Genesis will be completely absorbed by the black hole. Although Requiem can be fired with one shot Destroy the Messiah loaded with Genesis, but Messiah's mobility as a cosmic fortress also makes it difficult for Requiem to hit, and Genesis also has the ability to directly destroy Requiem at medium and short range, and is better than Requiem's. Recharging time is shorter.
After thinking about the three weapons, Xiao Ran also sighed: "Within twenty or so hours, Requiem cannot be used during these times at most, and there is no possibility of using Genesis at all. It will take at least several hours for the Archangel to arrive. , once the battle begins, it is not certain that the Lord Angel will reach the battlefield. In other words, in addition to the joint use of nuclear bombs at the beginning of the battle, the two sides will be in a stalemate, and can only advance based on the number of troops and the strength of the combat effectiveness. What?"
"Is this mission released after calculating that everything needs to be completed with real strength? If it is replaced by the Galaxy Diva... Well, at this point, the Lord Angel that was originally reserved for use in certain missions , it seems that as the difficulty of the mission increases, its effect will only become smaller and smaller. It must be modified or abandoned, and there is still enough to prepare a small Macross class for the team.”
While Xiao Ran was thinking, the people around him did not disturb Xiao Ran's thinking and remained quiet. It was not until Xiao Ran released the hand on his chin that he nodded and said, "Just follow the battle plan you made. I am not Orb's prime minister is just a soldier. Any tactical arrangements that are not necessary do not require my permission. Since this ship will change direction now, I will go there." (.)
