The war breaks out!
Chapter 1685 The war breaks out!
One month!
Within thirty days, a series of events occurred in the Earth-Moon sphere where Super-Earth is located.
The most astonishing and terrifying event was the emergence of the alien monster BETA from the dimensional quake. It swiftly destroyed and occupied three large cities, causing tens of millions of human casualties and forcing people to flee to surrounding cities overnight.
Compared to the alien monster that caused such a devastating and horrific tragedy overnight, the Emperor, who a month earlier had ambitiously issued a notice urging all nations, powers, and organizations on Super Earth to surrender, seemed somewhat... comical.
However, the one-month deadline has passed.
Before the world could recover from the dimensional shock and the attack by the alien monsters BETA, the shadow of war did not erupt on Muzo, the site of the previous year's war, but rather on Super Earth!
"Soldiers of the Holy Britannian Empire! People are born with differences! People are born of superiority and inferiority! People are born to plunder everything, to use everything as nourishment for our flesh and blood!"
"In the name of the ninety-eighth Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, I hereby issue this order!!"
"All soldiers of the Holy Britannian Empire, with the weapons in your hands and the Knightmare you ride, plunder everything for yourselves and for the Empire, turning everything into nourishment for our flesh and blood."
"Let us march forth!! All for the Holy Britannian Empire!!"
"All Hail Britannia! (Long live the Holy Britannian Empire!)"
Amidst the fervent shouts, the imperial army, which had been lying in wait and enduring for a month, launched a fierce attack on the surrounding areas under the command of the supreme emperor.
In an instant, the nations, still reeling from the shock of the alien monster and Muzo, were caught completely off guard.
Countless distress messages flew towards the Earth Federation Forces headquarters from all over the world like a storm, causing General Gop, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to celebrate the liberation of the three fallen cities, to once again become serious.
As the distress messages flew in like snowflakes, Gop had the illusion that the replay of the "One Year War" was not coming from outer space, but from this super-Earth beneath his feet.
"General, North America has completely fallen. Mexico, Mexico, and the nearby Gulf region are temporarily able to resist the attack from the Holy Britannian Empire thanks to our troops stationed there. However, according to intelligence gathered by our reconnaissance satellites, the Holy Britannian Empire, after completing its occupation of North America, is preparing to amass a larger force to threaten our headquarters, or even launch a large-scale attack."
The General Staff of the Earth Federation Forces became the busiest department of the Earth Federation Forces overnight.
The shift from researching how to combat the monsters that emerged from the dimensional quake to fighting off attacks from humans created a sense of division within the General Staff.
Just moments ago, they were racking their brains over how to fight against monsters from another planet, only to find that their own kind, the human empire on the same planet, had betrayed them.
This change caused many young people in the General Staff to shout angrily on the spot, and the scene fell into chaos for a moment.
"Yes. The fall of North America was to be expected. Although this planet, ravaged by the space disaster, has expanded to more than three times its original size, North America has always been the empire's home turf. What is the situation with our North American base?"
Gop nodded and asked calmly.
Influenced by Gop, the officers from the General Staff who came to report also gradually calmed down.
"Yes! Our bases in North America began an orderly evacuation when the Holy Britannian Empire launched its attack. So far, our bases in North America have not suffered heavy losses, with overall losses remaining stable at around 10-20%. In addition, a small number of mobile suits were captured by the Holy Britannian Empire's army during the evacuation."
A colonel in charge of intelligence said with a solemn expression.
In terms of combat strength, the General Staff did not believe that those Nightmare Knights, who were less than ten meters tall, would be a match for their MS.
Its small and fragile body could not withstand the fire of a 100mm machine gun, and when faced with the attack of a beam rifle, it vaporized the cockpit where the so-called Imperial Knight was located with a single shot.
Given such a significant disparity in combat power, some young Earth Federation officers even scoffed at the so-called attempts to persuade them to surrender. "There's no need to worry about it. It's only natural that our mobile suits are captured. Even during the One Year War, we and Zeon captured each other's mobile suits for research, and some even infiltrated enemy forces and research departments to gather intelligence."
As soon as Gop said this, everyone's expressions changed.
"General, you are..."
"Proceed according to Plan One! Also, do not use common sense to understand the enemy's actions. Remember, in the world we live in now, anything can happen."
Gop sat in his chair, looking at his subordinates with their varied expressions.
"You should know about those young girls that Fai encountered in the Third Tokyo urban cluster a while ago. They looked young, but they possessed the terrifying power to destroy a fully formed BETA nest in an instant! Therefore, you all need to thoroughly cleanse your eyes, ears, and noses, and prevent any insects exuding the aura of the Empire from infiltrating our army and technical departments!!"
"The Holy Britannian Empire's military strength on the surface is indeed inferior to ours. But in more obscure and incomprehensible areas, they may have their reasons for their confidence."
Gop tapped his finger on the table, emphasizing it again.
"And Contingency Plan Number One exists precisely for this moment. Do you understand?"
"Yes, General Gop!!"
Gop waved for everyone to leave before reaching out and pressing a button on the table.
As a slow ringing sound rang out, a voice came from the other side of the earth.
"I am Colonel Ming. Please speak!"
"Hehe. Nice to meet you. Colonel Ming. I am Yaraso Gop."
Gop chuckled, then said, half-jokingly.
"In the past, various things have always prevented us from meeting, but now, I finally have the opportunity to talk to you. Colonel Ming."
"General Gopp, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary federal soldier. How could I possibly accept such kindness from you?"
He Ming's calm voice came from the other end of the communication.
"Hahahaha! You probably wouldn't have acted this way when facing Rebil and Tianm!"
A glint of light flashed in Gop's eyes, and he decided to be frank.
"Colonel Ming! I believe you are already aware of the Holy Britannian Empire's attack. Now, I request that you, Colonel Ming, lead the Punishment Force to District 11 and sever the Holy Britannian Empire's energy lifeline—the Sakura Stone shipping route!"
"Of course. This is based on the Earth Federation General Staff's assessment of the operational plan against the Holy Britannian Empire. Whether for official or personal reasons, I hope Colonel Ming will accept this mission!"
"Alright! Punishment accepts this task! Also, I need some permissions."
He Ming said quite readily.
"Hahahaha! Colonel Ming is too modest! What does punishment mean to the Earth Federation Forces? Colonel Ming should know better than I do. If that guy Reibill finds out that Colonel Ming is questioning me like this, I'm afraid I'll have to leave headquarters and find somewhere to hide."
