Chapter 1615
First Encounter with Harman Karn
Chapter 1615 First Encounter with Haman Kahn
"What is the name of Major General He Ming of the Earth Federation Space Force?"
The message sent at the behest of He Ming was received simultaneously by both Qubeley and Axis behind him.
"Lord Hamman. Could this name be the Dark Wing from the One Year War?!"
Although Haman Kahn did not authorize Matthew Cero to launch the attack, he still came to Axis's operations center to keep an eye on Haman Kahn's every move.
"Yes, that should be it."
Harman Kahn recalled the many talented individuals who emerged during the One Year War.
Among them, the Earth Federation pilot with the jet-black death wings is the most outstanding.
Perhaps because, in contrast to Zeon's ace pilots like the Red Comet, the Earth Federation spared no effort in promoting Darkwing as the most powerful Neo-human pilot.
In fact, the record that Darkwing achieved in a year was indeed well-deserved.
Whether it was in the skies above the lunar city, where he outnumbered and destroyed Kycilia's proudest MS force, or in the subsequent landing operation that secured the victory in Operation Odessa, this ace pilot known as Dark Wing was present in many major battles.
After Zeon's defeat, during Axis's escape from the Earth-Moon Sphere, carrying the last hope of the Principality of Zeon, Haman Kahn's father, before his death, repeatedly instructed Haman Kahn that if he were to encounter the Blackwing in the future, he must be extremely cautious and make careful decisions, and must not rashly engage in combat with them.
As his father Maharaja Kahn's dying words echoed in his ears, Haman Kahn refused Mashman Cerro's renewed request to fight.
"No need to say anything more. Matthew Cero, you keep everyone under control. Absolutely no one is allowed to board the mobile suits or the warships!"
As Harman Kahn was instructing his subordinates, he suddenly felt a massive and overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from ahead.
In an instant, Harman Kahn's expression changed.
"This...this oppressive force? Who...who is it?!"
Shocked, Harman Kahn also sensed that the oppressive aura contained no hostility, but rather a subtle invitation.
"Lord Hamman, that unidentified warship is approaching you."
Matthew Cerro was unaware of the oppressive force that Haman Kahn was feeling at that moment; he simply assumed that the other party was approaching the Qubeley piloted by Haman Kahn.
"No! No one is allowed to move! I'll be right back!"
Harman Kahn shouted, once again intimidating Matthew Cero, and then flew straight over in his Qubeley.
As the distance between the two sides decreased, a scene appeared in the cockpit of the Qubeley.
"Such a massive warship? Even Gewakin, no, even Gewadan couldn't compare!"
The sheer scale of the Super Flag-class battleship Kongo, over 1600 meters long, made Harman Kahn secretly glad that she had exercised enough restraint.
If war were to break out rashly, setting aside the strength of the mobile suits carried on this massive warship, the super warship itself would likely give Axis a major headache, and there was even a risk of it crashing.
It must be said that Harman Kahn's intuition was remarkably accurate.
Once the war begins, with just one command from He Ming, the wave cannons on the Kongo would be enough to give the remaining Zeon forces on Axis a firsthand experience of what it means to shatter a planet.
"Qubeley approaching, guide laser beam deployment, Hangar One?"
King Kong blinked and looked at He Ming.
"Hmm, it's fine. Number one it is!"
He Ming nodded directly.
Hanger No. 1 is the hangar where mobile suits such as the Shadow Rift are stored, and it is the most important area.
In this situation, arranging the meeting there naturally serves as a deterrent.
Moreover, with Xiaoying present, even if Heming did not ascend Chengying·Liekong, he could immediately stop any unusual movements by Haman Kahn, who came alone.
"Gentlemen, let's go! Let's go and greet the regent from Axis."
As the elevator descended, the Qubeley, slowly entering Hangar One, immediately locked onto the neatly arranged Cheng Ying Rift and the Shadow Fiend drones surrounding it. Harman Kahn looked up and saw at least twenty to thirty of these machines, including the Cheng Ying Rift.
Such a massive spaceship would definitely not have just one hangar.
Based on a rough comparison with the MS configuration of the newly developed Gevadan-class large space battleship by Axis, this super battleship, which is over 1600 meters long, can be equipped with at least three hundred, or even more, mobile suits.
(The Gevadan-class space battleship is 600 meters long and is estimated to be able to carry up to 100 mobile suits.)
Moreover, Harman Kahn keenly perceived the destructive power contained within the Shadowfiend drone.
"Drones? And there are no maintenance personnel in this hangar. Was it emptied beforehand? Or is this super battleship being maintained automatically by AI?"
The more he observed, the colder Harman Kahn's heart became.
If most of the functions of this super battleship are processed and integrated by AI, does that mean that there are more similar, or even slightly lesser, space battleships behind it?
"What a terrifying existence! Has the Earth Federation (UC) developed to such a frightening extent?"
Harman Kahn felt a chill run down his spine, almost afraid to imagine what might happen next.
"No. Don't panic! This is my warship, not an Earth Federation warship."
At that moment, an unfamiliar voice appeared in Harman Kahn's mind without warning.
"Who?"
Harman Kahn instinctively raised his eyes and looked in a certain direction, where he saw a man standing proudly at the front of the crowd.
"Black Deathwing—what is its name?!"
The moment he realized the other party's identity, the immense and vast mental pressure he had felt before surged back, but it did not oppress Harman Kahn. It merely surrounded him for a moment before retreating again.
Harman Kahn calmed himself down.
She understood that this was both an invitation and a request.
The moment the platform came to a complete stop, Qubeley opened the cockpit on its own initiative.
A woman dressed in splendid black stepped out of the cockpit of the Qubeley and leaped down, landing gracefully in front of the crowd.
She looked around, but paused briefly on Rebil and He Ming's faces before speaking loudly.
"Haman Kahn, Regent of Axis. I presume you two are General Rebil and General He Ming."
“Kahn. I never imagined that after so many years, I would see Maharaja Kahn’s daughter standing before me as the regent of the Zeon remnants.”
Rebil looked sternly at Harman Kahn.
Although Harman Kahn did not reveal his true identity, both sides were aware of it.
Rebil's ruthless tearing away of this facade was undoubtedly an attempt to suppress Harman Kahn.
"Thank you for your concern, General Reibille! My father passed away several years ago on the border of Jupiter."
With a sorrowful expression and a somber tone, Haman Kahn defused Rebil's offensive.
"Is that so? Never mind."
Rebil's expression changed, and he knew better than to say anything more.
"General He, you can take over here!"
In their first encounter, neither side gained any significant advantage.
However, this gave He Ming a clearer understanding of Harman Kahn, the remarkable woman who left a significant mark on UC history.
