Chapter 147: The Blue Giant(1/2)
Zeon's country
Kalma's body could not be found, so this problem was considered before the funeral
Funeral day
"Sir, I know your feelings about losing your beloved son, but please pay attention to your identity..."
Seeing that Prince Dejin was not getting up, Kissilla beside him reminded him, his tone was extremely cold
"……well……"
Dejin Zabi said a thousand words, but finally he had to turn into a sigh and stood up with a crutch.
Walking onto the stage, there was a portrait of Kalma hanging behind him, and below was a vast crowd, all shouting Kalma's name
Dekin Zabi waved his hand, not only because of Kalma's death in battle, but also because of Kissilla's attitude towards him just now, she was her own daughter
"Even so, my son can't come back..."
On Earth
Because Dozru was dismissed from military service by failing to protect Kalma, he later formed a crusade force called "Kalma's Vengeance".
The unit is about 40 people in size. It has a "Sangjibar-class" mobile cruiser and a Zimusai, equipped with mobile suits
On the day of the Kalma state funeral ceremony, the atmosphere was lowered from Zeon's country on October 6th.
The captain is the famous Lamba Lar, who is nicknamed "Blue Superstar"
Before the war in 0079, Ramba Lar, who was already a captain, was incorporated into the cosmic attack army under Lieutenant General Dozru; at this time, Ramba was driving his special blue painted Zagu I, and the shield-shaped logo of "R" + "Blue Star" that represents his personal armor on the left shoulder of the body, hence the name
Zanzibar class motorized cruiser
Because the adjutant had something to report, Lamba Lar came to the bridge
"What do you say you have something good to show me?"
"Yes! A warship was found within the scope of our army's exploration. Please see."
The warship that appeared on the screen was identified and confirmed to be a new type of Federal Army warship [White Base]
"This is a good opportunity to avenge Lord Kalma..."
The woman who had been following Lamba Lar said softly
"If this warship can be destroyed, maybe it will be a military achievement..."
"Harmon, don't be too impatient..."
Lamba Lar was very calm. He sat on the boat and said slowly:
"These people are too far from our base, so we have to calculate the distance first."
"There is no problem with this Zanzibar class, but other troops only use spacecraft to break through the atmosphere..."
"That is why we cannot rush to attack"
"So, just watch them run away?"
"Harmon, my mission is to avenge Lord Kalma. This is an order issued by Lieutenant General Dozru himself. How can it be violated?"
Although there was an order to attack, Dozru did not tell him more specific information about the white base. The clear news was that it was equipped with a new Federal Army MS digital machine, and that's all
"Miss Iserina, please use your lunch slowly."
Now the only ones with the highest ranks on the ship are Brad and Beiyu. The former is responsible for the bridge work, while Beiyu can only be responsible for the logistics part.
Iselina is a civilian, and Brad also clearly stated that he would treat her well. So Beiyu came to bring her lunch.
"thank you……"
Since boarding the boat, Iselina's physical condition has not been optimistic, and she can only barely cheer up every day. When people think of Kalma in the quiet night, she burst into tears.
"May I ask, have you found Shaya?"
There is only one thing she hasn't forgotten, that is revenge
"Actually we..."
Beiyu shook his head helplessly, not that he didn't want to find it, but that he couldn't find it at all. Xia Ya was dismissed by Dozru. He had temporarily lost his identity and wandered on the earth. It was too difficult to find it.
"Is that true? I still have to thank you for helping me so much."
It would be better to say that Iselina sponsored them. Just taking out a little of the huge sums she took away was enough for the daily supplies of the white base, and she agreed with this.
Bridge
"Engine 3 has 2% less thrust than standard propulsion!"
"How many are there in terms of actual data?"
"About 40 tons"
"Why hasn't this problem been solved yet?!"
Brad was a little angry. Although he knew that everyone was working hard, letting the ship not repaired was not a solution. He complained a few times.
"Mile, Cape, Bridge please watch for a while, I'll take a break..."
Brad felt quite tired and could only temporarily entrust his work to the others on the bridge. He returned to his bedroom to prepare for a moment of rest.
Just as he was sitting on the chair, he breathed a sigh of relief when the door was knocked. Then Beiyu pushed open the door and walked in
"It's Beiyu. Thank you for your hard work recently. Now there is not enough manpower..."
"Let's work harder, and we will enter the territory of the Federal Army soon..."
Beiyu shook the bottle in his hand, and Brad shook his head
"No, you can't drink when you are on duty"
“A big drink”
Seeing Beiyu pouring a glass of wine, Brad hesitated for a moment and asked for a glass of wine.
Bled frowned after taking a sip
“Aren’t you used to it?”
“I can’t drink…”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded, and Brad threw down the wine glass in his hand without hesitation and opened the communication linked to the bridge.
"What's going on?"
"It's the Zeon Army! It seems like a spacecraft used to break through the atmosphere, but it's very large."
"I get it, I'll come right away!"
Beiyu followed Brad's footsteps and walked out of the bedroom, thinking as he walked:
"It's Zanzibar class... They are here so soon, I hope the great demons don't fall into their hands..."
Beiyu is familiar with the plot, and he has already made corresponding preparations for the arrival of Lamba Lar.
Over the white base, the Zanzibar class was descent rapidly. Just as the route of the white base blocked the descent route, Lamba Lar immediately ordered an attack.
Unlike the Msey class, the Zanzibar class mobile cruiser is a type of warship designed for transporting mobile suits, so most of the ship's offensive and defensive capabilities depend on the mobile suits it carries. It is also the only Jean warship that can penetrate and highlight the atmosphere in a single ship during the war. Unlike the Federation's Pegasus-class raid landing ship, the Zanzibar class does not have an integrated Minowsky flight system, so it must rely on continuous thrust to maintain operation.
However, because the engine of the white base has not been completely repaired so far, the Zanzibar class did not dispatch MS, so it easily chased after it and kept firing with particle cannons, which made the damage to the white base even more serious
"Can you avoid them?!"
Brad grabbed the captain's seat tightly, and his sweat broke out
Now their location is on the sea. If they are shot down by the Zeon army, they may not even have a chance to escape and die in the sea
"Bride, I'll drive Gundam to attract their attention. You hide in the clouds, use your vision to open the distance, find a place to land, and shake them away!"
Beiyu's brain was running rapidly and he quickly came up with a combat plan. Without Brad's approval, he rushed out of the bridge.
"Beiyu! Tsk... The hangar, this is the bridge, hurry up and prepare for the launch of Gundam No. 3!"
"Darling, be careful, it's a storm outside now"
"I'll notice when I received it!"
After being ready, the white base opened the hatch during the emergency landing and ejected Gundam No. 3.
But the situation was not good. Lightning was made in the sky, and Beiyu was driving the MS carefully, preparing to attract the attention of Kailanba Lar.
Of course, the risk is very high, and emp may occur at any time
"Enemy MS is dispatched!"
"What?"
Lamba Lar looked out the window, where a gray-painted Gundam was rushing towards the Zanzibar-class battleship
"Is that the new MS of the Federal Army? The driver really has the courage to attack in stormy weather..."
Lamba Lar knew very well that Gundam was here to attract their attention and should have continued to chase the warships, but he successfully attracted his fighting spirit.
Leaving the combat command of the warship to Harmon and the first mate, Lamba Lar instructed the staff in the hangar to prepare their own bodies - at this stage, Zeon's most advanced land use MS YMS-07B Tiger's first trial model
