Gundam: In those years, the fields I planted in the universe
Chapter 22 North Africa, Casablanca
The battle from April 1st to April 2nd is called the Battle of Volopoulos.The nuclear weapons of the Earth Union were completely sealed, the nuclear power plants were scrapped, and various places fell into crisis due to lack of energy, and protests against the Earth Union broke out.
Why is the anti-earth union?Because the Speaker Siegel was very wicked and delivered a speech late at night on the day the neutron jammer "Miao Frog Seed" was dropped. As long as the plant is recognized as an independent country and diplomatic relations are established, the plant will give scientific and technological assistance and will not blockade. Its nuclear power, such as East Asia and Oceania.
As a result, the spearhead of the people's anger was directed at the Earth Union instantly.
However, this will not hurt the bones of the Earth Union. After all, the Eurasian and Atlantic Federation elections are supported by consortia and industrial consortia, and the role of ordinary people is minimal.What made him angry was the descent under the command of Areluja. Zaft destroyed the third mixed fleet, which had thousands of fighters and more than 100 warships, with 46 casualties. All but the commander and other senior officials were changed. Became a prisoner.
Then, Zaft’s MS carried large and small metal boxes to the port of Capantaria. After the boxes were unloaded, there were steel plates on which circuits were laid.After putting the steel plates together, what you get is a prototype of a military base covering an area of more than 3,000 hectares, complete with hangars, control towers, radars, and soldiers' quarters.
This is a modular construction technology that the East Asian Federation is quite proud of. The construction facilities are divided into several units in advance, and assembled after being transported to the destination, which is quick and easy.
zaft completed the first military base in the earth "Capantaria".
What followed was that a large number of highly maneuverable Jean, Zaku, and Dean were airdropped to Capantaria. A large number of submarines and land battleships were built with the assistance of Oceania United, under the leadership of Lei Crossed the Indian Ocean into the Atlantic Ocean, all the way north, attacked the Mediterranean.
The reason for choosing the Mediterranean is mainly because the Eurasian Federation’s military strength is relatively weak, and its internal conflicts are serious. Eastern and Western Europe have continued to friction, and they have sent troops to suppress the southern African unity institutions, and their forces have been severely dispersed.
And one of the three major mass accelerators of the Earth Union, the Victoria Mass Accelerator is located in Lake Victoria in East Africa. If a military base can be laid in the Mediterranean, it is best to occupy the Suez Canal. Zaft will be able to cut off the Eurasian Federation from sending troops to space Way, lock it to the ground.
Based on this strategic goal, Lei led the team on a round-the-world journey across the north and south, east and west hemispheres.
At the same time, the battle data of Steel Garuru, who performed well in the Battle of Volopoulos, was collected and sent back to the plant's local equipment department. This four-legged beast-type body has extremely high mobility in ground combat. Moreover, it is suitable for carrying different types of weapons, and its versatility is quite high. The equipment department plans to use this as a blueprint to design a land MS "Baku" dedicated to ground forces.
Lei also specifically proposed to the headquarters to develop MS for underwater combat.This is zaft's first joint confrontation with the earth at sea. Although it has achieved a complete victory with the help of elite mobile suits and the joint support of Oceania, it also allows Ray to see the diversity of the earth's combat environment.Special mobile suits need to be developed for different environments such as air combat, land, desert, mountain, and deep sea.
Moreover, the GN plants cultivated in the universe have to be adjusted in variety according to the earth's environment.
With this in mind, after the fleet arrived in the Mediterranean, Zaft did not immediately launch an attack on the area around the Suez Canal, but attacked the Kingdom of Morocco on the Atlantic coast at the speed of a blitzkrieg, with the main target being the Casablanca area.
Casablanca, one of the trade centers on the Atlantic coast, accounts for four-fifths of the Kingdom of Morocco’s industrial output value, and has oil refining, iron making, and chemical industries.
During World War II, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met in Casablanca and declared that the war against the Axis powers would continue until their unconditional surrender.Zaft's choice of this place for landing operations is undoubtedly meaningful.
The most important thing is that when the Atlantic Federation sent troops to suppress the United States of South America, the Eurasian Federation also sent troops to North Africa to crush the North African Army with powerful land warships in an attempt to expand its territory to the entire Africa.At this time, the royal family of the Kingdom of Morocco has been placed under house arrest, and two-thirds of the entire country is under the control of the Eurasian Federal Army.So this time zaft sent troops, playing the banner of "aiding the third world."
At this time, the submarine "Harvest Goddess" was silently lurking in the deep sea 50 kilometers away from Casablanca, and the double-headed dragon angels scattered light red GN particles to prevent enemy detection.
After the Battle of Volopoulos, Leirang technicians modified the double-headed dragon angel. In addition to adding underwater protective armor to the thrusters and joints, the main weapons of the electric rattan whip and the lizard king chopper were added. A hydrogen-oxygen flame combustion device.The hydrogen-oxygen flame is a flame that is ignited after hydrogen and oxygen are mixed. Its temperature can be as high as 2500-3000°C. It can also play a role in seawater. The quartz armor with a high melting point cannot withstand its temperature.
The "Dragon Collider" equipped with both legs strengthened the armor, and also added a hydrogen-oxygen flame combustion device, which can tear the enemy's protection with dragon teeth at the moment of hand-to-hand combat.
In this way, the double-headed dragon angel can be described as a melee body, and the defense is provided by the GN shield provided by the GN capacitor on the wing.
Ray was sitting in front of a computer with Patrick's face on the other side of the screen, and Klein beside it.
"Where have the troops advanced now, Areluja?"
"Your Excellency the Chairman, we are currently in the waters of Casablanca and are preparing to use this as a landing point to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Morocco."
"Well, good." Patrick seems to have a smile on his face recently, and he can't see the appearance of a war madman at all.
"Chairman, is there any good news?"
"Two hours ago, we detected that the Fifth and Sixth Fleet of the Lunar Base began to gather and march towards the plant homeland."
Lei suddenly felt his heart tighten-Mary was still there!
"I will immediately draw a few teams from the ground troops..." Before the voice came, Klein answered, "Commander-in-chief Alleylua, it is not necessary, because three days ago, the initial stage of Fort Yakin Duwe The transformation has been completed. Although the mirror of Genesis has not been assembled yet, after East Asia provided us with rare earths, the staff of Parfaxi has presided over the production of fifty pseudo-solar furnaces, of which twenty are installed on the fortress as power sources. , The other 30 are allocated to the new machine Zaku, the local guards don’t need to worry!"
"So fast?" Lei himself did not expect that the solar furnace could be put into use so quickly.
