Chapter 756 New Orders!! (2/4)
"Is this... April City?"
As the only person present who grew up in April City, Lux Klein immediately recognized the origin of the map projections that the intelligent AI cube Arduino constantly constructed in mid-air.
"Yes. It's April City. Our intelligence personnel have discovered a place where Yuri Amalfi and other members of the Supreme Council are suspected to be under house arrest. This may be our breakthrough point."
He Ming pointed to the specially marked location and explained.
Qi Sheng, who was sitting opposite, fell into deep thought.
"Lieutenant Colonel He. Actually, after you sent back the information that some members of the PLANT Supreme Council were secretly abducted by unknown forces and replaced with photocopies, we also secretly verified it. The result was not ideal."
Qi Sheng took a breath slowly.
"In fact, it's not just some members of the PLANT Supreme Council who have been replaced. Even some relatively moderate generals within ZAFT have experienced similar phenomena."
"What? There are also copycats inside ZAFT?"
This news surprised He Ming, but it also seemed reasonable.
According to Embrio's character, he will not let the ZAFT army slip away from his control.
"Yes. It can be said that from the PLANT Supreme Council to ZAFT's internal affairs, it can be basically judged that there is only one voice. That is the voice headed by Patrick Sala, who is known for his toughness."
After Qi Sheng finished speaking, he leaned back slightly and leaned against the back of his chair.
"From the moment the Carpentaria base attacked the pedestal island, we already had a premonition that ZAFT was about to start a large-scale battle again."
“Panama?”
He Ming recalled the battle in which ZAFT had used the ZAFT submarine carrier fleet at the Carpentaria base as bait and sent this bait fleet to attack the base islands, thereby attracting international attention and taking the opportunity to capture Panama in one fell swoop.
"Panama is just the first step. I'm afraid that next, ZAFT's target is likely to be Alaska headquarters."
Qi Sheng expressed his speculation after summarizing the intelligence collected by the East Asian intelligence agencies.
"And the pedestal island is likely to be used by ZAFT again."
"ZAFT still hasn't given up? No, it's not a question of whether to give up or not. It's more that ZAFT might want to get rid of Alaska headquarters or the base island once and for all. What's worse, he might want to swallow Alaska headquarters and the base island in one gulp."
This speculation made He Ming frown.
Neither the main Alaska nor the base islands can be easily conquered.
The former is the headquarters of the Earth Federation Army, while the latter gathers most of the forces of East Asia and Orb's naval fleet.
"According to our speculation, ZAFT is likely to use a new type of weapon similar to the neutron jammer. However, we still don't know whether this weapon will be used on the Alaska headquarters or smashed down on the base island."
A trace of worry flashed across Qi Sheng's face.
The base islands have almost gathered all the manpower, material resources and combat power that East Asia can mobilize so far. Once an accident occurs, let alone the construction of the base islands, the loss of manpower, material resources and combat power generated by the battle will put East Asia into a very passive situation in the next five years.
To this end, after combining relevant intelligence with the current situation, East Asia decided that it must be prepared and deploy measures to deal with the worsening of the situation.
"Have the Alaska headquarters noticed these changes?"
He Ming recalled the changes that had taken place in the Alaska headquarters during this period of time in the original time and space.
According to the original trajectory, around the time when the Archangel arrived at the Alaska headquarters, the Earth Federation began to make arrangements at the Alaska headquarters, creating a bait to lure ZAFT to launch a large-scale attack, and successfully attracted ZAFT's arrival.
ZAFT thought that by making a feint to the east and attacking the west, they could divert the main force of the Earth Federation, but when they attacked the Earth Federation's Alaska headquarters, they found that it was just a trap. An ultimate trap that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
What’s funny is that ZAFT has already encountered the same trap once in the universe.
"Well, according to the current situation, Alaska Headquarters is constantly mobilizing surface fleets to deploy defenses in the waters around Alaska Headquarters. I'm afraid that Alaska Headquarters also believes that ZAFT will launch a large-scale attack."
Qi Sheng paused and looked at Lacus Klein.
"Ms. Lacus Klein. Perhaps, this will be an opportunity."
"Chance?"
Lacus Klein, who had been listening in, showed a hint of doubt.
"Commander, do you want to sneak into the PLANT capital of April City and rescue the imprisoned congressmen while the two sides are in the midst of a fierce battle?"
He Ming suddenly had an idea and realized the intention behind it.
"We have arrangements for this. However, we still need to make some arrangements. In addition, we also need to gather some allies."
Qi Sheng nodded slowly and continued speaking to Lacus Klein.
"Ms. Lacus Klein, if we can rescue those congressmen who are under house arrest, are you sure that we can bring them to our side? No, even if the congressmen remain neutral and do not interfere with the next action, it can be considered as avoiding some trouble."
"No, Commander Qi. I am confident that we can get the congressmen to stand on our side."
Lacus Clyne said firmly.
Lacus Klein knew very well that most of the congressmen under house arrest belonged to Klein's faction.
Although Lux Klein was not sure whether her influence could still affect these congressmen, she believed that these congressmen would be able to see the situation clearly and make the most correct choice.
After all, compared to her, the congressmen under house arrest may witness more unknown secrets.
For example, how did those photocopies that replaced their identities come into being?
"If we can do this, then the next battle may make us feel a little more relaxed. At least, the casualties we have to suffer will be much less."
After Qi Sheng finished speaking, his expression straightened up and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Lieutenant Colonel He."
"exist!"
"Now, according to the instructions of the East Asian Space Force Headquarters, you are ordered to immediately prepare for the infiltration operation and the mobilization of personnel. The purpose of this plan is only one, that is to rescue the imprisoned congressmen as much as possible and reunite with our main fleet! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
"Yes. To make things easier, the higher authorities have decided to promote He Ming to colonel and appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the infiltration rescue operation. You can directly transfer the personnel of the Polaris and Archangel."
"Yes!"
After He Ming responded, he looked at Qi Sheng in confusion.
Qi Sheng snorted coldly.
"Do you have a chance to spit out something you've eaten? Don't think we don't know what those people in Atlantic are thinking?"
