Chapter 353 The Battle of Panama Begins

The next day, the army visited eight families with transfer orders, and forcibly took away the sons and daughters of each family in tears. The heads of the families could only watch their sons or daughters being taken away in anger and were powerless. They knew...the family was finished.

Some people were still naive and thought that Yang Hui would let them go, but it turned out that they thought too much.

The assets being transferred were frozen before they left Orb, and some industries were also sealed by various evidences, and these evidences were all real and valid.

The people of these eight families could only stay at home with their remaining property and were not allowed to go anywhere.

Yang Hui gave Uzmi a satisfactory explanation. After all, no one died. He just confiscated a large amount of property, and provided "good" positions to the young masters and daughters who stayed at home doing nothing to let them show their talents. This can be regarded as a sweet date after a stick.

Of course, the premise is that these people can work hard. If they have crooked thoughts, then it is not Yang Hui's fault. The opportunity has been given to them. If they don't grasp it well, it is their own problem.

A week passed like this, and everything went on in an orderly manner. Groups of elite personnel were transferred to the giant floating platform and Papua New Guinea. As the land of Orb became more and more, more and more talents cultivated in secret were reused, and all went to the newly occupied land to accept various departments.

Of course, this was only in secret, because Orb still needed Nirvana, and the Earth Union and PLANT could not treat the newly occupied territory as Orb's territory. Only in this way could the living force be preserved when Orb fell.

Orb's most important military-industrial enterprise [Aurora Society] now only had the most basic maintenance personnel led by Erica Simmons. All the technicians followed the dismantled large equipment and were sent to the giant floating platform and [Heavenly Pillar] respectively. One was a planned ground military fortress, and the other was a space military fortress. If they were not sent away in advance, they would be divided up by the Earth Army and PLANT in the end as in the original plot, but there was no place to cry.

"In Papua New Guinea, apart from scattered resistance forces, there is no trace of the ZAFT army. The people sent there have also taken over the work smoothly. The reconstruction of Port Moresby is also in full swing, but the gap in resources is too large." The emperor reported.

Not only Yang Hui and Wang Liumei were present, but also Uzimi, Yang Hongyu, Lao Sahak and the other two clan leaders, and even Mina started a video remote conference to participate.

"Let them slow down. There are no resources to allocate to them now." Yang Hui sighed. The efforts in the first and second stages did bring huge resources and funds to Orb, but this is still a drop in the bucket for the realization of the [White Dove Plan].

The reconstruction of Port Moresby requires resources, the construction and transformation of the giant floating platform also requires resources, and the space fleet being built in the [Heavenly Pillar] also requires resources. Now Orb is full of gaps, and it can't be filled by robbing Peter to fill Paul.

"Mina, how is the situation on your side? Is the [Kirin-class] completed?" Yang Hui asked. Mina's work is very important and has the highest priority at present, because the space battlefield after the fall of Orb needs a powerful battleship to replace the Kusanagi, or join to form a new four-ship alliance.

After all, it is a very small number of elite troops that intervene in the war between the two strongest forces in the world, and it is a battlefield that has been crazy. No matter how much preparation is made, it is not too much.

Think about the original plot. The three-ship alliance can win. Except for Kira and Aslan, the two chosen sons who rely on the protagonist's halo, the performance of others is really not good. If Uncle Mu hadn't sacrificed himself to take a shot for the Archangel, the Archangel would have been gone!

It can be described as a miracle that the three-ship alliance survived.

Even so, the Three Ships Alliance also paid a great price. For example, Asachi, Mayura and Jiuli died. The Kusanagi carried more than three M1 Heretics. Asachi, Mayura and Jiuli were already elite pilots. Even they died, so you can imagine what happened to others.

Wars will involve sacrifices. Yang Hui knew this very well, so he was mentally prepared. After all, the first phase of the mission he received was to ensure the survival of the members of the Three Ships Alliance, including ordinary soldiers who were unknown or even had never been abroad.

So, with more strength and more security, the construction of the MS force has been completed. The only missing puzzle is the space battleship.

"Haha, go to sleep, there is everything in the dream." Mina sneered. Just kidding, don't you know how many resources and how long it takes to build a [Qilin-class] mothership? Don't you remember how many resources you sent to [Heaven's Pillar]?

"Um...what about the [White Tiger]?"

"One ship has been completed and has been on a test voyage."

"That's good." The [Qilin] was indeed a bit greedy. Yang Hui was satisfied with the completion of one ship of the [White Tiger], which was the second best. If even the [White Tiger] was not completed, and there was only the [Xiezhi], then he would really want to cry.

"Since Papua New Guinea has stabilized, can we start the transfer of citizens?" Uzmi asked.

"There is no excuse now. It is difficult to convince the citizens to agree..."

"Beep beep beep..."

At this moment, Wang Liumei's PAD rang. It was a high-level encrypted file. He opened it without caring that he was still in a meeting. Wang Liumei's face became solemn.

"ZAFT army has taken action against Panama."

"What!?" Uzmi and others stood up in shock, and looked at Yang Hui with horror, because he guessed right again. Now it has only been about half a month since the Alaska Campaign, and ZAFT has launched a large-scale operation again, and the target is still the heavily defended Panama Spaceport.

"Are there any details of the troops?" Yang Hui asked.

"No, but intelligence shows that the attacking force this time is the main force of the Gibraltar base plus the remnants of the army that withdrew from the Alaska base to the Gibraltar base."

"No troops were dropped?"

"No, the fleet still stayed in the old position, but there was no sign of troops dropping, but..."

"But what?"

"The battleship still prepared a drop bay, but our agents can be sure that it is not MS, and there are not many of them."

"..." Hearing this, Yang Hui called up his personal database and searched for information in it. The information of the [Tianren] intelligence network was first taken over by Wang Liumei, and then the important intelligence information was selected and passed to Yang Hui, and stored in the personal database.

"Could it be this?" Yang Hui called up a piece of information and projected it on the big screen in the conference room.

"This is it!"

"[Gungunir], a super-powerful electromagnetic bomb, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be this."

"...If this is true, then the transfer of the people must begin." Uzummi said seriously.

The electromagnetic storm triggered by the super-electromagnetic bomb will not only paralyze all electronic equipment within the Panama Spaceport, but also destroy the mass accelerator. Once the mass accelerator of the Panama Spaceport is destroyed, the Earth Army will be completely blocked on Earth.

There are only two ways left for the Earth Army. One is to gather heavy troops to retake Victoria Harbor or Kaohsiung Port, and the other is Orb.

Compared with the two ways, Orb is naturally easier. In addition, Orb has rejected the request of the Atlantic Federation, so the Atlantic Federation will definitely take action against Orb.

"Don't worry, wait for the result of Panama." Yang Hui said. The result of the Panama Campaign is the most important. If the ZAFT Army wins as in the original plot, then the Atlantic Federation will naturally take action against Orb, but if the ZAFT Army fails, then the Earth Army will not miss this good opportunity and will launch a large-scale attack on the ZAFT occupied area.

In this way, Orb will have more sufficient preparation time, and there will be no good excuse to persuade the people to leave their homes.

"Okay."

"Should we inform the Archangel about this matter?" Huang asked.

"Well, let's notify them, after all, they haven't taken off their uniforms yet."

"Okay."

Sure enough, after receiving the notification, the people on the Archangel and several accompanying warships couldn't sit still.

"What did you say? Panama?"

"Yes, we were attacked since early morning, and the details are not clear yet." Kisaka, who was responsible for notification and explanation, said to Malu, Bakilulu and Mu.

"Is it for the mass accelerator?"

"The main force of the Earth Army is now deployed in Panama, and ZAFT is also fighting hard. In this situation, your mood is also complicated, right?"

"Damn it!" Mu cursed in a low voice, "So many people died in Alaska..."

It's more than complicated, it can be described as a mixture of emotions. Although they have decided to stay in Orb, they have not joined the Orb Army yet, and they are also very uneasy about the intensification of the war.

…

At this time, at the Panama Spaceport, on the front battlefield, under the wave after wave of fire suppression from the ZAFT fleet, the MS troops successfully landed and massacred the Earth Army on land, with great momentum.

But after the appearance of the Earth Army's MS troops, this momentum was curbed.

GAT-01, [Dagger], a mass-produced MS developed by the Earth Army after obtaining the data of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, also developed an OS that natural people can operate freely through the combat data of the Strike Gundam.

In order to save costs, the Strike Dagger removed the most unique backpack docking system of the Strike Gundam, and the armed equipment was reduced to a basic configuration of a Vulcan cannon, a beam sword, a beam rifle with a grenade launcher, and a special shield. At the same time, the PS armor was also omitted, making the machine far inferior to the Strike Gundam in terms of attack power, defense power, mobility, and versatility.

Although the performance was greatly reduced, the low cost and the X100 series frame that has been proven to be reliable in actual combat enabled the Earth Federation to quickly produce a large number of this type of machine in a short period of time. This is undoubtedly crucial for the Earth Federation, which urgently needs a machine that can fight against the mass-produced MS of the ZAFT Army. The easy-to-operate OS of this type of machine also allows a large number of United soldiers who have switched from fighter pilots to MS pilots to quickly get started. The simple operation, the simple but reliable weapons and the advantage in numbers have made the Strike Dagger not inferior in the future MS wars with ZAFT.

"Hehe, don't think about being domineering again!"

"Don't get carried away! Bastard Adjuster!"
