Chapter 437 The Current Situation and Arrangements of the Four Surrendered People
"Hmm? What's going on? Report in detail." Hearing this, Yang Hui was stunned for a moment and continued to ask.
"It's like this..."
Then, the four of them reported their situations to Yang Hui in detail.
They were originally the ace pilots of the Earth Union. Their defection had a great impact on the Earth Army. After they came to Orb, the spies of the Atlantic Federation found an opportunity to contact them, hoping that they would become undercover agents of the Atlantic Federation and lurk in the Orb Army.
Except for Edward Harrison who directly refused, the other three did not refuse, but did not agree. They were always hesitant. After all, they were once the Earth Army. Their honor and beliefs were in the Earth Army and had not completely disappeared. Moreover, their families were still in the sphere of influence of the Earth Army. They had to consider the other party's proposal.
But they also really liked the life in Orb, a peaceful country. Even the expanding army was united, full of vitality and vigor. This made them, who were used to the dirtiness in the Earth Army, very yearning and wanted to live in such an environment.
So the three of them were struggling psychologically and hesitating all the time.
Until the day of the test of the pseudo-solar furnace, Yang Hui made Morgan Shubarie's wavering heart firm. Not only was he getting stronger day by day, with endless trump cards, but also Yang Hui's attitude towards him. He could feel that Yang Hui, as the highest leader, did not discriminate or exclude him as a traitor, nor was he as high-handed as the senior officers of the Earth Army. He did not even mind the tension when they first met, which touched him.
So after leaving the [Dawn Society] last night, he made an appointment with them to meet and told them his thoughts. At the same time, he also persuaded Rena Imelia and Jane Houston to stay in Orb with him and reject the spies of the Atlantic Federation.
The two women's hearts were originally wavering, but under the persuasion of Morgan Shubarie and Edward Harrison, they also made a decision, but there was a prerequisite, that is, their family.
"... To be honest, I didn't expect you to confess to me on your own initiative." Yang Hui was silent for a moment, and said to the four people, "I have always known about this matter. Your every move is under surveillance. After all, you have just defected from the Earth Army and joined Orb not long ago."
"I understand." The four nodded. They were not angry about being monitored. They knew their own situation. They defected to Orb. As the person in charge of a country, Yang Hui would not be stupid enough to trust them 100%. Even except for Edward Harrison, their first meeting was not very good.
"I haven't contacted you all the time. First, I am really busy. Second, you didn't give a definite answer. Now, you take the initiative to confess to me. To be honest, I am very happy."
Of course, Yang Hui couldn't give the four people 100% trust, but it also changed from 30% to 40% to 80%.
"Lord Yang Hui, we... we have a request, please be sure to agree to it."
"Family?"
"Yes, our family is being targeted by the Atlantic Federation, we ask you to save them."
"No problem, I will send someone to pick up your family to Orb, and we will be reunited with you within a week."
"Thank you very much!"
"Okay, don't be so polite, you are also a member of Orb, and you are the ace pilot of the Orb Army. These things are what we should solve for you. Without worries, you can fight for Orb with confidence."
"Lord Yang Hui..." Although Yang Hui said it very snobbishly, they were still very moved. If this happened in the Earth Army, the superiors would not care about it at all, and would not care whether their family members were dead or alive, and would even be afraid that they would rebel and arrest them in advance.
"Okay, you are here too. Except for Morgan, please report your work."
"Yes!"
Morgan Shubarie's work is the most dangerous among them, but also the easiest. He just needs to cooperate with the research and development of [Dawn Society] every day. Unlike others, they have a lot of things to do in their respective positions.
"I was transferred to the elite training camp by the Chief of Staff to train elite troops." First, the oldest Rena Imelia reported, "There are already certain results. I dare not say that they can compare with the first special brigade led by Colonel Qingyin, Colonel Dilandi, and Colonel Erde, but I am confident that they can hold on for a while."
Don't look at what Rena Imelia said, they can only hold on for a while in the hands of the special brigade, but this is already an excellent result.
You have to know that the special forces were originally elites trained by Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria. They all participated in the war, especially the first squadron, which followed Yang Hui and participated in the second battle of Yakin Duwei. There were some losses, but the survivors were all elite veterans. If they were placed in other forces, they would be ace pilots.
How terrible is the dominance and threat of a unit composed of such members on the battlefield? To put it bluntly, unless the number of enemies is five times theirs, or they are all ace pilots of the level of Izak, Diego, and Nicol, it is simply a dream to defeat them head-on.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, the technology generation gap, but with Yang Hui, the technology generation gap will only appear on the enemy, not on them.
"Very good, Reina, have you ever thought about joining the special forces?" Yang Hui asked Reina Imelia. Her current special machine is a fully upgraded Storm Gundam, which is powered by nuclear power. The dual guns are no longer front-to-back docking, but are the same side-by-side combination as the Emerald Storm Gundam. In addition to missile launchers, the shoulders are also equipped with high-energy beam cannons. At the same time, there are auxiliary arms and rotatable attack shield systems on the sides. The attack shield system consists of a shield with sharpened edges and a beam Vulcan cannon. When necessary, the auxiliary arm can also discard the attack shield system and use a beam dagger for close combat.
"No, Lord Yang Hui, my idea is to create a second special forces brigade."
"Hmm? What an ambition!"
The name of the special forces brigade is not something you can get just because you want it. Yang Hui and Huang positioned the special forces brigade as an absolute ace force. They usually don't appear on the field, but when they appear, they are the ultimate killer.
It is also because of this that the Orb Army has expanded several times, but there is still only one special brigade, and no second one has been formed, even though Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria are still training pilots for the Orb Army.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Work hard, Reina, I am looking forward to the emergence of the second special brigade."
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Reina Imelia finished speaking, and then it was Jane Houston's report.
"A total of four brigade of submerged MS troops have been established, and they are currently carrying out the order of the Chief of Staff to blockade the local waters."
Orb has formed a special underwater force, all of which are composed of M1 heretics that have been specialized in underwater. Although only the backpack and specialized transformation have been replaced, the performance is not bad at all.
Yang Hui borrowed from the Abyss Gundam that will only appear in the future. The two sides of the body are made of arc-shaped shells with auxiliary arms. When diving in the deep sea, they can be closed together to wrap the body. The arc-shaped design makes the body have mobility in the water that is not inferior to [Gun] and [Eshu]. In addition, the shell is equipped with torpedo launchers and balance wings that can be used for close combat when approaching enemy aircraft. There are triple torpedo launchers on the sides of the legs of the main body, and the hands can be equipped with sonic cannons and handheld torpedo launchers.
Because it is an underwater battle, it is not equipped with a beam sword, but two retractable physical tridents. The three blades of the trident have the ability to eject and can be ejected to kill the enemy. The long pole left can also be used as a three-blade beam spear on the ground.
At the same time, for amphibious operations, the inner side of the arc shell contains beam rifles or other land beam weapons. After leaving the water, the arc shell can be disconnected from the body and stand in front of the body as a shield, and the land weapons can be used to establish a position.
Jane Houston's own machine is of course also newly manufactured. It is based on the basic technology of the G series and has been fully upgraded to manufacture the Blue Gundam. It is equipped with a nuclear engine and VPS armor. When it is started, its color is the color of the sea. Both its mobility and defense are several times that of the M1 Assassin's Water Specialization.
In terms of armament, in addition to all the armaments of the M1 Assassin's Water Specialization, there are two more double-mounted solid cannons at the front of the curved shell, which can also be used in water.
"How is the combat effectiveness? Can it compete with ZAFT's underwater MS force?"
Yang Hui is confident that the performance of the machine is not inferior, but since the establishment of Orb's underwater MS force, it has never participated in actual combat, so he does not know the specific combat effectiveness.
"In the simulation training, the data of the underwater MS force of ZAFT is a complete victory. In the simulation training of landing operations, it even broke through the blockade of the first and second battalions."
"Well, that's good. Actual combat can't satisfy you now, but after a while, I will consider contacting ZAFT to see if we can conduct a joint military exercise."
"No need, Lord Yang Hui, it would be best if there is no actual combat."
"Correct point of view, but you are all soldiers, you should know that peace is built on powerful military force. I don't want our people to be intoxicated with peace and comfort when war comes. And died on the battlefield."
"...Understood."
"What about you? Edward? If I remember correctly, you should have been sent to your homeland by... Vidal, right?"
"Yes, Lord Yang Hui." Edward Harrison's machine is still the sword-fighting type Disaster Gundam, but it has also been fully upgraded. As for the armament, except for the throwing beam dagger of the Angel of Exia that Edward Harrison likes very much, there is no additional armament. He is a melee-specialized pilot like Setsuna, and has the same attitude towards long-range attack methods. It's okay, but knives are better. Don't have too much hope for my shooting.
"Yes, Lord Yang Hui, but you know, the Atlantic Federation and the United States of South America negotiated a few days ago and returned all territories except the Panama Spaceport, including the mines you are interested in, so I came back to report on my work." Edward Harrison shrugged and said.
"Isn't it good to stay in your hometown? If you bring it up, I believe Huang and Vidal will agree."
"Of course it's good to stay in my hometown, but I'm also a man and I have to keep my promise. Orb has helped the motherland regain the lost land and ended the war, so I naturally have to come back to repay the favor." Edward Harrison answered frankly.
"...Which unit do you want to join?" Yang Hui was silent for a while and asked Edward Harrison.
"Follow the arrangements of the superiors." Edward Harrison didn't have too many ideas. He returned to Orb to repay his gratitude, but he only knew how to drive MS to fight, and he didn't even have the teaching ability of Reina, Setsuna, Lyle, Tieria and others. In addition, it was a peaceful time and there was no fighting, so he could only follow Yang Hui's arrangements and go wherever he was needed.
"Well... you go to Reina's men." Yang Hui decided.
"Eh? Is it okay?" X2
Edward Harrison and Reina Imelia were surprised at the same time.
The former was because the latter was her teacher, and he had just returned to Orb, and he didn't know many people in the army, so it was more intimate to be in the same unit with acquaintances.
The latter was surprised that Yang Hui gave her an ace pilot without thinking too much. An ace like Edward Harrison should be sent to a special brigade or even lead a unit alone.
"Of course, although the Special Forces Brigade does not rely on trump cards, it is not short of trump cards. The First Special Forces Brigade has Barry and Jiang, and the future Second Special Forces Brigade will also have the same number of trump cards, right?"
This answer stunned the four people, and Reina Imelia was even more moved, because Yang Hui's words just now were even more like acknowledging the existence of the Second Special Forces Brigade and recognizing her determination.
"Thank you very much, Lord Yang Hui! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"Don't rush to thank me, I'm talking about the future. Whether the Second Special Forces Brigade can be established depends on your ability."
"Yes! Guarantee to complete the task!"
After listening to their reports, Yang Hui chatted with the four people for half an hour, mentioning words such as spies and intelligence from time to time, and observing their expressions and demeanor at all times. No abnormalities were found, and it can be temporarily judged that they can be trusted.
So, when they left, a top-secret mission was issued.
"I'll give you a top-secret mission. It is not allowed to be leaked to anyone. You are directly responsible to me. After returning to your respective positions..."
