Reunion with Gop!
Chapter 1898 Reunion with Gop!
As the Garuda slowly landed on the runway in Chabro, He Ming's journey on Earth came to a temporary end.
However, before that, He Ming still needed to have some handover with Gop.
Gop wanted He Ming's opinion in person on all the arrangements for the floating continent and how to deal with America's all-out attack.
Therefore, He Ming simply had Kenes return to the floating continent after completing the resupply, appointing him as the commander of the troops on the northern front to deal with America's offensive and, when appropriate, to help Emperor Jiang Lihua stabilize the situation.
He Ming had great faith in Kenes's abilities regarding this task.
"Don't worry, Colonel, leave the northern defense line to me! But what about the G-Element Development Center..."
"Follow Lian's advice. Don't worry! Lian won't interfere with your command. If necessary, she will step in to help you quell America's offensive."
He Ming patted Kenneth on the shoulder and said, half teasingly and half seriously.
"However, if Lian makes a move, I'm afraid the battlefield where you are will be blown into a huge crater."
Upon hearing He Ming say this, although he had never personally witnessed the power of Lian piloting the Venerable Gundam, he had come to realize from various videos just how terrifying the maid who followed He Ming so respectfully was.
"Then I must do everything in my power to stabilize the situation and eliminate the enemy before it deteriorates!"
Kenneth gave a wry smile, twitched the corners of his mouth, and then saluted He Ming with a serious expression.
"Well then, Colonel! Have a safe journey! May you be victorious in every battle!"
"Okay, I'm counting on you for the floating continent!"
"Yes! I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
After saying goodbye to Kenneth, He Ming, accompanied by CC, went to Gop's office again.
However, coincidentally, when He Ming entered Gop's office, it was precisely when Gop was watching in real time the interrogation of the commander of the Earth United Nations orbital fleet by the fleet where Rebil was located.
Gop nodded to He Ming, pointed to the chair next to him, and indicated that they should watch the interrogation first before discussing it.
He Ming did as instructed and turned his attention to the projection screen on the wall.
He was a middle-aged man wearing the standard military uniform of an officer from the UN forces on Earth, from the MUV world. Judging from his rank, he should be a lieutenant colonel.
"Connor D. Wilson. Lieutenant Colonel of the Earth United Nations Forces, former Deputy Commander of the Earth United Nations Orbital Fleet. During the recent disturbance, he shot and killed the former commander on the spot for violating UN military orders, and seized supreme command of the Orbital Fleet."
Off-screen, Rebil's voice could be heard.
"Yes, General Rebil. These are all true and accurate documents."
The other party readily confirmed the authenticity of the information Rebil mentioned.
"Then, can you tell me why you shot and killed the former commander and committed such a reckless act? The disparity in strength between my fleet and yours is so vast. What reason or what reliance gave you to dare attack my fleet?"
Rebil's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
At the moment when the situation on the floating continent underwent a dramatic change, Rebil did indeed sense the hostility of this so-called Earth United Nations orbital fleet towards them, and that it had taken corresponding actions.
However, thanks to He Ming's reminder and Rebil's caution, they were able to take the initiative and deploy landing forces first, quickly taking control of the UN orbital fleet's warships and effectively preventing the situation from deteriorating further.
Rebil was still curious as to why the other party had undergone such a drastic change.
Even though the other general's demeanor during their previous exchanges had greatly impressed Rebil, he could still clearly tell that the other party was not the arrogant type to provoke an unfamiliar fleet despite the disparity in strength.
"There's no why. Everything is for the sake of enabling our country to achieve a better and stronger dominant position in the future!"
The other party's answer surprised Rebil.
Clearly, as one of the top generals among the many generals of the Earth Federation Forces, Rebil was somewhat unable to understand the answer presented by the other party.
"Dominance? Our country? It seems that although you are wearing the uniform of the United Nations army, your heart is thinking of your motherland."
Rebil pondered for a moment, then stood up, handed the UN lieutenant colonel over to his subordinates, and turned to leave the interrogation room.
At the same time, the camera shifts from the interrogation room to another empty room with only simple chairs and bright lights.
Shortly after, Reibald appeared in the shot.
“General Gop, Colonel Ming, as you just saw, the testimony given by the other side is exactly as Colonel Ming guessed. The reason why the country called America launched a full-scale attack after learning that the BETA level 6 nest had been destroyed was to gain absolute dominance and rule the world after the BETA disappeared.”
"Pathetic and arrogant humans!"
Gop scoffed.
"agree"
He Ming shrugged, indicating that he completely agreed with Gop's assessment.
"In that case, we don't need to worry about anything. General Gop, has Chabro already formulated a battle plan? Is it necessary to send in the fleet?"
Rebil asked.
"No. There's no need for the fleet to intervene. The space fleet will maintain its original deployment, dealing with the Neo Zeon crisis while remaining vigilant against any new forces that may emerge at any time. General Reibill, your insistence is correct. The combat power demonstrated by the Magellan battleship fleet is enough to make the Federation Forces' strategy change somewhat."
After a pause, Gop laughed.
"You may not know how excited those old guys who insisted on giant gun battleships were when they learned that you had built such a Magellan battleship fleet."
"It's simply a matter of adapting to the situation! During the One Year War, the emergence of MS completely changed the battlefield. And now, the enemies brought about by this complex and chaotic world are the same."
Rebil did not take credit for his work; on the contrary, he felt that he had not done enough.
If he were leading a brand-new battleship/heavy gunboat specifically designed for orbital bombardment, then He Ming's ground forces would not need to directly confront the threat posed by those super-heavy beam-class ships.
Instead, they only entered the underground pits to carry out the extermination mission after Rebil's fleet had conducted a thorough ground clearing operation.
"General Rebil, your foresight has already brought us two major victories. No one can achieve 100% perfection, and the current situation is the best we can hope for."
He Ming comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Rebil immediately burst out laughing.
"Colonel Ming, I'm not just praising me! Among us, you are the one who truly possesses foresight! Looking back at the numerous crises we've faced so far, it was you who personally led the troops and fleet to resolve them. Although, in these operations, we old guys also had some opportunities to show our faces."
"But, when it comes to the real hero, it's you!"
"Colonel Ming, leave the floating continent to Gop! We'll be waiting for you in space!"
