In the Strait of Gibraltar, the combined fleet composed of the Li Boyong Fleet, the Orb Expeditionary Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet of the Republic of East Asia, and the Sixth Fleet of the Atlantic Federation are successively passing through the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea controlled by the ZAFT Army.
In the sky above the fleet, the Wendham formation on guard duty and the Dean cruise formation at the Gibraltar base passed each other at very close range from time to time, giving people a sense of restraint amid vigilance.
On the bridge of the Main Angel, the adjutant who looked exactly like Amalgam Cadre Gates looked at the silhouette of the aircraft on the radar and couldn't help but exhale, "Huh, I'm really afraid that ZAFT will suddenly call..."
"Don't worry, the fox chairman of PLANT pays great attention to appearance before showing his fangs and will not do such a thing." Li Boyong on the side said his judgment casually, "Besides, the MS troops in the fleet hangar are actually all In the state of preparation for attack, there is no need to be afraid in case of any eventuality."
"Yes." The adjutant nodded and rearranged his military cap.
The joint military operation between the United and the ZAFT Army is really a fresh and wonderful experience. With a commander like me, you can really encounter anything...
After appeasing the adjutant, Li Boyong turned to ask Bucky Lulu, "How long is it expected that the fleet will completely pass through the Strait of Gibraltar?"
From the VIP seat where he was sitting, he could just see Bucky Lulu's beautiful legs in black stockings.
"According to the current progress, the fleet can enter the Atlantic Ocean and complete the re-formation in about thirty minutes." Bucky Lulu on the captain's seat replied seriously, not at all shy as when he begged Li Boyong for mercy last night.
"It seems the progress is going well. I hope the ZAFT army won't cause any trouble."
Li Boyong looked at and admired the beauty of the black stockings and white dress, smacking his lips in recollection, but received a fierce glare from Bucky Lulu.
She resisted recalling the trembling feeling deep in her body and continued to report: "According to the plan, after entering the Atlantic Ocean, our army will go north to join the Eurasian United North Sea Second Fleet, and after completing supplies at sea , prepare a strategy for the Paradise Island base.”
After a pause, Baji Lulu continued: "The ZAFT fleet is expected to set off from the Gibraltar base three hours after our army passes through the Strait of Gibraltar. At that time, it will attack together with our army that has completed supplies as planned. Paradise Island Base.”
While he was talking, Li Boyong's direct fleet had passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean.
Li Boyong's tense nerves were secretly relieved. It seemed that his worry about Speaker Fox's sudden madness was unnecessary.
But looking at the picture of the Gibraltar base gradually fading away on the optical screen on the bridge, and thinking about Shihe who was now on the Minerva, he couldn't help but tighten his fists.
Now is not the time...
After waiting on the bridge for the entire fleet to pass through the strait safely, Li Boyong handed over the command of the fleet to Baji Lulu and returned to his office.
Inside, he communicated with Wang Liumei and learned that the Archangel had successfully entered the North Sea.
For safety reasons, he was afraid that the Speaker would suddenly go crazy when he saw the Archangel that might be carrying Lux, so he did not let the Archangel move with the main force.
Even though his contact with Aslan had revealed signs that the Archangel was cooperating with him, he was still careful not to touch the Speaker's nerves.
Even though the current situation on the European continent is very different from the original work, and the ZAFT army does not have the ability to encircle and suppress the Archangel, he is still cautious.
As long as Shihe stays in ZAFT's army, there should be no conflict. As for the Speaker's fate plan, he will wait until he and Shihe meet up.
He had already learned about the communication channel between poetry and the body from Aslan.
——————
Six hours later, Paradise Island Base.
This is the last military base on the surface under the control of the Fahui, and is now facing a siege by the two armies of the United ZAFT.
About twenty minutes ago, Li Boyong's combined fleet and ZAFT's crusade fleet formed an encirclement situation on the Paradise Island base from the east and west.
In Li Boyong's public speech to persuade him to surrender, the troops at the Paradise Island base ignored Li's hypocritical performance and launched a defensive line.
Coastal defense guns stretched out from various bunkers, and the missile silos in the base were also uncovered.
Windam teams took off one by one from the base and assembled into combat groups centered on the MA equipped with a positron reflector.
The deep blue forbidden troops in the water began to swim in the surrounding waters, ready to fight at any time.
"You look like this, and you don't take my advice to surrender at all." Looking at the movement at the Paradise Island base, Li Boyong, who was waiting in full plunder, touched his chin.
"How could the members of the Law Society in the base surrender if you look so murderous in your pilot uniform?" Bucky Lulu on the bridge heard Li Boyong's words and complained on the communication channel.
"Haha, not surrendering is what I want." Li Boyong laughed.
Remember in the original book, Jibril seemed to have no moral integrity in this battle and ignored the persuasion to surrender and carried out a preemptive attack?
But it seems that he didn't give a time limit for surrender just now...
The surrender announcement has been issued, and my obligation has been fulfilled...
"Inform the ZAFT army and the whole army will start attacking!"
Li Boyong, who was in full plunder, issued the order for the entire army to attack. From the very beginning of the battle plan, there was no plan for the Paradise Island base to surrender.
"Understood." Bucky Lulu, who was in charge of the fleet command, began to give the order, "The entire army began to attack and launch the first wave of shore-to-shore missiles."
Following Bucky Lulu's order, the machines combined with the wind's missile rain, launched from the fleet as if for free, and showered the Paradise Island base overwhelmingly.
At the Paradise Island base headquarters, Jibril, who was about to issue a preemptive order to the base commander, heard the shrill air defense siren and looked at the overwhelming missiles on the screen. His face was deformed with anger, "Damn it, that mad dog!"
"That mad dog!"
"That mad dog!"
Jibril finally regained his composure after smashing three bottles of red wine. By this time, the Paradise Island base had completed its attack on the first wave of missiles.
The missiles that passed through the air defense fire network destroyed many ground facilities, but this was nothing to the Paradise Island base.
"Since the other party is attacking, let's show them what will happen if they disobey our laws." Jibril returned to his seat, "Commander, are you right?"
"Yes, start attacking immediately!" the base commander standing behind the members of the Law Council responded loudly, like a clerk who was given an order by the chief officer.
The battle for the Paradise Island base, which has absolute authority over the United Earth, has officially begun.
