Land Fleet, Set Sweep!
Chapter 1874 Land Fleet, Set Sweep!
"Colonel, the fleet is in position."
Kenneth brought news that Rebil, Brad, and others had arrived.
"Hmm, would you like to go check out BETA's hideout together?"
He Ming nodded and looked up at the desert beyond the massive city walls built against the mountain.
"Me? I'll stay in the rear, Colonel. With you here, it's better for me to stay in the rear and provide support. Although we will eliminate high-threat targets like the Ray-class first, for safety's sake, all three Garuda-class carriers will remain in the rear until the rendezvous is complete."
Kenneth shook his head and revealed his thoughts.
“That is indeed a very good option. However, besides Garuda, don’t we have other motherships? I think it would be a waste for you, the captain, to stay behind.”
He Ming laughed.
"No. I've never handled those big plans before. Such a significant operation should be left to experienced commanders. As for me, I'll stay on the Garuda and provide support to you, Colonel, as needed."
Kenneth waved his hands repeatedly and smiled wryly.
"Is he looking down on those big-name companies, or was he scared off by that female captain?"
"Ahem! Colonel, watch your words. I have no connection whatsoever with that Captain Giselle Albert."
Kenneth coughed quickly and began to explain.
Among the second batch of reinforcements dispatched by the Earth Federation Forces, in addition to the air transport group that arrived first, there was also a heavy fork-class land battleship, Nicosia, and a land reinforcement force mainly composed of five large pallet-class land battleships.
(Nicosia, a Fork-class marine)
(Large-palm-class marine frigate)
After the land reinforcement force arrived at the Gulf base, it also spotted three Garuda-class aircraft carriers parked to the side.
Thus, a friendly exchange ensued.
It must be said that, regardless of the era, those that run on the ground and those that fly in the sky will always have some friction at subtle moments.
As the main commander of this land fleet, and also the captain Giselle Albert (not a character from the original work, but just borrowed for the setting!), who was transferred from the Titans forces by the Earth Federation Forces with the highest level of orders, also had some disputes with Kenes.
(Giselle Albert)
Fortunately, both sides remained quite rational. After figuring out the reasons for the friction, they told He Ming everything and asked him to handle the matter fairly.
To be honest, if these minor skirmishes hadn't occurred, He Ming probably wouldn't have discovered so quickly that the Earth Federation Forces headquarters had given him such a "surprise".
Perhaps it was because he had previously poached important personnel such as Murasame Feng and Rosamia from the Titans' reserve list without hesitation, causing the Murasame Research Institute and Augusta Research Institute, which were extremely important sources of technology for the Titans, to completely turn to Punishment, that the Earth Federation Forces headquarters, or perhaps it was because Gop, after learning that He Ming needed the support of land battle ships, decisively ordered his subordinates to temporarily transfer the most elite land combat talents in the Earth Federation Forces to He Ming's command.
Well, the problem is coming.
Which unit in the current Earth Federation Forces has the most talented personnel?
The answer is the Titans.
Thus, with Gop's tacit approval, the Earth Federation Forces headquarters kept testing the Titans and eventually succeeded in poaching ground commanders, including Giselle Albert, from the Titans.
Even when Jamitov learned of this, he dared not be too angry and could only continue to protest to Chabro.
Ultimately, the Titans are now preparing to confront the attack of Char Aznable, the ruler of Neo Zeon.
What kind of tricks are you up to, you old codger who's been squatting in Chabulo all day?
Are you worried that the Titans might just quit?
He Ming had also seen this in the message sent by Gop.
But I didn't pay much attention to it.
The Federation Forces in space are not just the Titans, nor are they the only ones capable of confronting Char Aznable from the future. Whoever is in charge has several cards up their sleeve that could cause Char Aznable of Neo Zeon to lose some of his sanity, thereby achieving certain goals.
On the other hand, the Titans and Jamitov, besides having to fight back, will likely also face the possibility of being turned against them by Char Aznable, the commander of Neo Zeon.
It is important to know that Djamitov still has no idea that the man he trusts, Sirocco, will one day betray him and seize power in the Titans.
It's not hard to imagine...
wrong.
I'm thinking a bit too far ahead.
He Ming pulled his thoughts back and looked at the gate below the city wall.
A fleet of marines, led by the heavy fork-class combat ship Nicosia, is slowly sailing out of the fortress.
Amidst the billowing dust, an experimental force consisting of GM IIs and a small number of GM IIIs slowly advanced alongside the land battle fleet.
(Jim III)
"Jim III. Chabro takes this operation very seriously. I didn't expect that this new type of machine would also come along."
Kenneth stroked his chin, examining the Jim III, a vehicle he rarely saw in his future timeline.
"Sending the new GM III will not only allow us to obtain combat data, but also demonstrate the Earth Federation Forces' determination and strength to that young emperor."
He Ming crossed his arms and smiled slightly.
Not far from where He Ming and Kenes were, the young emperor, accompanied by Gao Hai and Li Xingke, watched as the land fleet that had come from afar slowly sailed towards the desert abyss and the BETA-occupied area.
As the dust swirled and buried the GM IIs and GM IIIs that were flanking the battleship, the young emperor clenched his fists.
So powerful!
Very powerful!
It was powerful enough to make the young emperor, who was ignorant of the ways of the world and could only obey the words of the chief eunuch most of the time, and who was always rejected by the chief eunuch for various reasons or even on the spot when he wanted to insist on certain things, feel an indescribable tremor.
If she could possess such power, those powerful eunuchs who always oppressed and humiliated this young emperor through sophistry and intimidation would surely be terrified, or even... die!
The young emperor rested his hands on the city wall, his gaze unconsciously drifting to He Ming and Kenes, who were standing not far away watching the land battle fleet launch. He then spoke without thinking.
"Star Engraving. Can our army also become this powerful?"
Li Xingke was taken aback and quickly lowered his head.
"Yes, Your Majesty. We can do it too, but..."
"only?"
The young emperor turned around and looked at Li Xingke, his eyes seemingly filled with anticipation.
They were hoping that Li Xingke would say something that would satisfy the young, but seemingly already awakened, emperor.
"Your Majesty, Military Officer Li needs to recuse himself! Please forgive him!"
Just then, Gao Hai spoke up to defend Li Xingke.
"Are you trying to avoid suspicion?"
The young emperor slightly raised his small face and let out a cold snort.
“Xingke, Gaohai, you have witnessed firsthand the strength of the Earth Federation Forces, and the power and vision of Colonel Ming. I need your assistance to make this country better. For this, I need some power. Some power that belongs only to me.”
Gao Hai was overjoyed, but the next second he immediately lowered his head and secretly exchanged a glance with Li Xingke before they both responded in unison.
"Yes! I will obey the Emperor's command! I would gladly die for it!!"
