It has been several days since Macross returned to the voyage, but it still stayed in the waters near Alaska, with a huge steel body standing there, which is daunting.

It is rare that there is no attack on the Zenith Star, but the fleet is still staying in the orbit of the earth and moon, monitoring their every move.

The 56,000 civilians on the ship also relaxed and held a return flight celebration within themselves.

But, this is not what I want to talk about today

The alarm rings, Beiyu sits up in shock

Today is the day when he and Miyashi Kaeda received orders to follow Captain Grofoe and Misa Hayase to the Alaska United Army Headquarters

On the day he returned to Earth, he submitted another plan to Captain Grove for the transformation of VF fighter jets.

Since at this point in time, the VF1 super equipment installed later is equipment outside the atmosphere and is basically not applicable on earth. Considering that it may be on earth after combat, he remembered the set of tornado equipment of VF25 and the reaction armor equipment of VF171ex

Tornado equipment can be used both inside and outside the atmosphere, and the VF171's reactive armor equipment is probably the simplified one he can think of.

The two are valuable for reference. After thinking about it, Beiyu stayed up late and finally formulated a transformation plan for VF1.

He called this plan plus (strengthening) plan

First, refer to VF171, abandon the whole body reaction armor and amazing firepower, and install it only in important places, at least in terms of maneuverability, and ensure that the firepower, the reaction armor is equipped with a small missile pod; both sides of the robot arm are the same as VF-UX, and machine guns are also installed.

Depending on the type of combat, small missile pods (used generally), single high-power beam cannons (for long-distance support) and large-scale reconnaissance radars (for battlefield reconnaissance and support) can be installed respectively.

Secondly, considering the possibility of both combat inside and outside the atmosphere, Beiyu chose the thruster design drawings sold in the system with the same specifications as tornado equipment.

In this way, the thruster equipment is on both sides of the wing or abandons the original wing and becomes a larger triangular wing. VF1 can only abandon the swept wing deformation mechanism, but the problem is not big.

In short, this enhancement solution eliminates the shortcomings of both super equipment and reactive armor equipment. As long as the pilot is willing, this set of equipment will not need to be unloaded.

You can't be late for this kind of day, he gently pushed the sleeping Lilya Kaede

Half an hour has passed

After washing and dressing up, they left the room and just saw Goliath opening the door of Roy Foca with the key.

"Hello, you guys"

Seeing the two, Goliath smiled awkwardly. According to regulations, women cannot break into the men's dormitory at will; except for Miya Yuriya, Kitayu specially applied for the two to live in the same room, Captain Grofoe said he could

"Captain, you are early"

Seeing Captain Grofoe waiting on the deck for a special plane, Beiyu saluted a military salute

"As early, I've seen your plan."

“What do you think?”

"To be honest, I think it's possible, but the headquarters..."

Captain Grofoe whispered

"They may not agree very much. I handed it over after reading the plan yesterday, but the headquarters has not replied."

Beiyu had long guessed this possibility. After all, VF1 has just been installed, and now the enhancement plan is launched, and it is a soldier. Those people at the upper level must agree differently.

"There's no way, see if I can convince them today..."

The special plane arrived, four people boarded the plane and left the Macross

"Hey, why do these people make such loud noises when they want to go back to the ground?"

After the return ceremony, these civilians will leave the Macross and return to the ground.

After all, this is a warship, and it is impossible to stay for a long time

Gaba just asked this, Kiruru said loudly

"Who knows this kind of thing! But this wine is really delicious..."

The spy trio all drank, but couldn't find the direction for a while, and fell drunk on the deck

hangar

"This kid makes the fighter jet like this, it's a problem for us to repair it..."

Nakajima Lei threw down his hat and shouted

"Boys, today we're trying to finish the work! I'll invite you to drink."

"Then why not go and have barbecue together! Hahahaha..."

The special plane crosses the area where day and night alternates, and the location of the headquarters of the United Army is still in dusk.

The tarmac below is open, and the special plane with vertical take-off and landing is docked on it, slowly descending to the underground hangar

During the war of unity, air bombs were dropped from the anti-unification alliance, and the surface was destroyed in an instant.

Considering this possibility, the headquarters was set up underground, with almost all buildings under the thick ice layer.

You still need to take the elevator to the headquarters on the bottom floor

"A very luxurious building..." Hayase Misa sighed

"It's a full six kilometers deep here... By the way, do you know Super Cannon?"

"No……"

"It uses the earth's gravity magnetic field as the source of energy and applies the principle of the Macross main gun. It started to be built 7 or 8 years ago."

Captain Grofoe explained in detail, and Misa Hayase was shocked when he heard it

"So many people live in a cannon?!"

"That's right, hahahaha..."

The two chatted for a while, and Kitayu and Ji Yuiya were checking the plan for the last time with the data recorder.

"Darling, is this possible? There are only these three alternatives, can we combine them?"

"I have formulated an alternative plan based on the purpose of the operation. I have specialized in my profession. If combined, I am afraid that the weight will reduce mobility..."

This time, the United Army headquarters met several people mainly because of the combat plan proposed by Captain Grofoe and Beiyu's transformation plan for VF1.

When I arrived at the conference room, there was only one table and four chairs in the huge room. There were many screens all around me. I didn’t have to think about it. There was a video communication on it.

Soon the screen began to appear, and the senior executives of the united army watched them, and the four of them stood up and greeted a standard military salute.

"It's been a long time since Macross attacked, Brother Grofoe"

"yes!"

"So too, Lieutenant Hayase"

"Yes, Admiral!"

"The two behind, Captain Kitau and Lieutenant Yuriya, have seen you for the first time. After reading your report, I have made so many contributions in less than two years of joining the army. I am young and promising."

"yes!"

From then on, the leaders of the United Army began to ask questions about the previous battle situation and combat plan.

"According to our observations, the enemy fleet takes at least a hundred units"

"Bai? You've read it wrong. How could a fleet have so many warships?"

"Are you a fool..."

Beiyu was complaining in his heart, how could he use common sense on earth to guess where the zenith star is?

After the first report was stated, the senior management no longer allowed Hayase Misa to continue to state the second report, and the screen went dark

"What's the situation? Don't want to continue listening?" Bei Yu frowned slightly, very unhappy with the attitude of the senior management.

"They should be discussing..." Captain Grofoe signaled Beiyu to calm down.

After a few minutes, the picture changed and another group of high-rise buildings

"Captain Grofoe, Lieutenant Hayase, this is a bit different from your personality... Since the enemy has that kind of force, why not directly hit the Macross?"

To put it bluntly, they think the two are lying

"The reason is in the report just now...!"

Hayase Misa stood up excitedly. The senior management said that it was equivalent to denying all the efforts they had made before

"Even if it is true, it's not possible." The man who was called the admiral by Hayase Misa just now was her father

"Can……"

"Lt. Hayase, no need to say more"

"Are you all idiots?"

Beiyu had long been unable to see what these people did, so he stood up and shouted

"Please, the reports and video materials were brought back by our soldiers at risk of their lives from the battlefield. Do you know how many drivers died just by reconnaissance?"

Just a "idiot", all the senior executives present were in a "down" state

"Also, how can you use common sense and tactics on earth to speculate on their actions? Don't you think about it? What is the battle plan proposed by the captain with great effort? Is it for you to continue to swagger here to wait for the next person to continue to make suggestions and then reject it?"

"Shut up!"
To be continued...
