Speaking of which, Cruzet was definitely not a qualified tactical commander. In terms of tactical command, Cruzet was too far behind, and he was irresponsible. However, it was undeniable that Cruzet was indeed a very insidious and powerful schemer. In the SEED world, he could turn the entire SEED world upside down with his own strength. How many people could compare to this ability? And this was to the extent that he could do it without grasping too much authority at all.
Xiao Ran had absolute reason to believe that once Cruzet went to Earth, he would definitely have the ability to do what he planned.
Cruzet's idea was actually not difficult to say. To put it simply, the whole process could be divided into several steps. The first step was to destroy most of the fleets that appeared here this time. Of course, Admiral George himself was absolutely 'loyal' to the Earth Unified Army, and the failure of the fleet was entirely because someone wanted him to die here. This gave Admiral George a reason to fail and return to Earth to blame the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army.
The second step was that Cruzet would go to Earth to rope in more allies. He would also get to know more people in the upper echelons of the Earth Unified Army through Admiral George. He would use technology transactions, cooperation agreements, and other methods to get the support of those companies with great power on Earth. It might be one company, or it might be multiple companies.
Then, he would use all means to rope in people who could be roped in. It should be known that Cruzet's physical fitness far exceeded that of humans, and with this guy's black-bellied nature, it would be easy for him to create a few scandals of the Earth Unified Army. In addition, Admiral George, who had 'betrayed' the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army, could also do a lot of things.
After that, it was nothing more than letting Admiral George continue to be promoted, eliminating political enemies, especially those who wanted to deal with the 25th Fleet, and finally completing the mission. However, it was also possible that the last step could not be achieved, but it was inevitable that it would bring great chaos to the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army. This would also buy more time for the fleet to delay.
Xiao Ran and Cruzet seemed to have confirmed the matter of letting Cruzet go to Earth in a few words, but Cruzet had spent a lot of energy to make a lot of preparations in advance. He used various means such as differentiation, coercion, and threats, and even used skills to give him the ability to do so. The method of detecting the weakness of the target's mind played with the minds of those senior officers, causing many people to collapse and eventually fall into Cruzet's control.
In fact, even Xiao Ran did not expect that when he asked Cruzet to contact the senior officers of the Earth Unified Army's fleet, he intended to let Cruzet to monitor them, but in the end, this was indeed the result. At the same time, he was dumbfounded. a little.
When the huge hull of the MANON-class Battleship slowly landed next to the Main Angel and brought a gust of wind, it also made the originally huge Main Angel look so small in comparison.
At this time, Law rushed over with a long and large transport team. As soon as he got off the car, he ran to Xiao Ran and said directly: "How much time do I have?"
Xiao Ran glanced at the motorcade that came with Law. There were large crane trucks and large transfer trucks. The huge trucks were filled with different parts and equipment. At a glance, he understood what these things were. He shook his head and said: "Not too much, but there is no need to use these things in this battle. The tactical armor on the Main Angel can be used by the Justice Gundam. "
"Huh." Law exhaled a big breath, scratched his hair, and said: "That's good, otherwise, I don't know how much time it will take to assemble these things, and produce the missing parts."
"Oh." Xiao Ran patted Law on the shoulder and said: "Go, transfer the body to that Battleship."
"Okay." Law nodded, turned around, and ran in the direction of the convoy. Embarrassed, he asked the convoy to transport the things back to L.A.I, and left the large crane and transfer vehicles behind. He began to toss the experimental tactical armor Type-1 in the Dominion Angel. And the body of the Main Angel. All of them were transferred to the MANON-class Battleship by Graham and Nalor.
When Xiao Ran walked into the new MANON-class Battleship with Mary and Moses, there were already corresponding personnel working in all positions except for the Captain. When they saw Xiao Ran appear, they also stopped what they were doing and saluted to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly to the crowd. Then he asked Mary: "Are you sure you can be the Captain of this Battleship now?"
Mary smiled slightly: "Of course, in terms of Battleship command, I'm very confident."
Xiao Ran actually intended to give the command of this Battleship to Mary from the beginning. After all, with the intervention of that birdman, the chance of a real war with the Earth Unified Army is not big. But now Cruzet has made such an arrangement. It can be said that the danger has been minimized. Even if it's handed over to Mary, who has just begun to familiarize herself with the MANON-class Battleship, Xiao Ran can be completely assured.
"Then this ship will be handed over to you. I've also arranged for a vice-captain to help you. In addition, Moses, you will be her adjutant." Xiao Ran glanced at Moses behind him, and the latter also nodded slightly: "Yes, Your Excellency President."
Naturally, in addition to Mary, there are also people who are more familiar with this Battleship who will become the vice-captain of the Battleship. The vice-captain is the original Captain of this Battleship, but he also surrendered to Xiao Ran before. He belongs to the first batch of people who surrendered and also brought a large number of people who can operate the Battleship to Xiao Ran.
Mary sat in the captain's position, and Xiao Ran also sat on Mary's left. After the two looked at each other and smiled slightly, Mary looked seriously at the big screen in front of her and the spherical holographic projection in front of the screen, and ordered: "All departments report the situation of the Battleship."
"The energy system is normal."
"The operating system is normal."
"The radar, the communication system is normal."
"The fire control system is normal."
"The defense system is normal."
"The transformation system is normal."
"The number of transformable fighters is full. The number of transformable fighters available is 108. Squad number 1-27. Squadron number 1-9."
"The personnel situation has reached the minimum requirements. The final replenishment and work assignment are currently in progress. It is expected to be completed in 30 minutes."
Mary nodded slightly and said again: "Report the current situation of the confrontation between the enemy and us, and the status of the Battleship transfer."
"The enemy has completed the warp jump. The number of enemy Battleships is more than 100,000. There are currently no response. Our Battleship has a total of 10,000 Battleships, and 50,000 Insectoid Battleships. We have formed three lines of defense, and there is no attack order for the time being."
When Mary heard the reply from the CIC, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. The number of Battleships added up to more than 100,000 Battleships was simply terrifying.
"The transfer of the Battleship from the Dominion Angel is currently 65% complete. The transfer of Sacred Lightning Shield, Dark Heresy, MK-II, Black Hawk, Divine Will, Ferocious Bird, and VF-27 has been completed. According to the report, the UAV, Red Heresy, Justice, and Tactical Armor are still not completed. The estimated time is also 30 minutes."
"Ask them to speed up and report the distribution of the Battleships between the enemy and us." As soon as Mary's voice fell, the image of the spherical holographic projection changed. The planet shrunk, and the friendly Battleships were represented by blue dots and triangles, while the red dots represented the enemy Battleship fleet. The smaller dots represented the Battleship fleet and the Insectoid division.
At this time, judging from the situation on the holographic projection, the Battleship fleet and the Insectoid fleet were divided into three layers. They were completely surrounded by the red dots, but there was still a distance between the two sides. There were only countless Battleships hovering in the middle, but in terms of numbers, and as the defending side, it was quite disadvantageous.
However, in a space war, especially a war dominated by the MS Battleship, the number of Battleships would not be the deciding factor. Therefore, in general, the two sides seemed to be somewhat evenly matched. However, if the Insectoid's combat power and defense were taken into consideration, the Earth Unified Army's fleet appeared to be at a disadvantage in this battle.
When Xiao Ran heard the CIC report that the Insectoid had 50,000 Battleships, he was also shocked, but then a relaxed expression appeared on his face. He had a deep understanding of the Insectoid's combat power as he had fought with the Insectoid before. With 50,000 Insectoid Battleships against 100,000 Earth Unified Army's mixed fleet, victory was not a problem at all.
Taking the Insectoid Battleships as an example, there was not much possibility of failure to deal with the Earth Unified Army's Battleship fleet, not to mention the Red Chief-Level Insectoids and the higher-level Green Chief-Level Insectoids. In the case of 50,000 Insectoid Battleships, there must be more small combat Insectoids.
If they really wanted to fight a tough battle, as long as the Earth Unified Army did not send out more than five times the combat power of the Insectoids, then there was still a chance for them to win. In addition, the Primitive Devil was also watching all of this, so it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.
However, Xiao Ran's goal was to complete the mission while minimizing the sacrifice of the Insectoids and the loss of the fleet to the greatest extent. Therefore, it was impossible for him to fight head-on with the Earth Unified Army. Instead, he would try his best to protect himself. Although Cruzet's idea was a little crazy, it was still a suitable way to deal with it. In addition, he had already confirmed that the silly bird would help him. Xiao Ran had already held all the cards in his hands, and he was only waiting for the final card to be played to obtain the final victory.
When Cruzet walked into the bridge with the vice-captain of the MANCON-class Battleship, everything was ready. Under Mary's order, the MANCON-class Battleship began to ignite and float, then quickly flew into space. (To be continued.)
