Chapter 300 Crisis in Granada
In April, the federal government and New Gene secretly held a peace talks, and the Earth Circle was temporarily peaceful for a while. In the same month, in order to express sincerity to New Gene and to strengthen control of each SIDE, the federal government dispersed its already limited space fleet to each SIDE. The headquarters of the Space Army on Kimme Island naturally could not divide the troops, so the Granada fleet was divided.
The Granada fleet was a mobile army, which was originally intended to defeat Harman and Gremy. After the rise of Kissilia Zabi, it monitored and restrained it. After the division of troops, only one-third of the federal army in Granada was left, and strategic deterrence was gone. Therefore, when the new Gene fleet stayed over Granada on May 1, the entire moon was panicked.
After Marianna and Sadaran handed over Luna II to the federal army, they drove towards the moon. Although there was no word for helping Granada on the order, everyone knew that this time they returned to the moon was probably to deal with the new Gene.
"How could this happen?" Mecha Mucha shouted without hesitation in the bridge, "Didn't New Gene start a peace talk with the federal government? Why do you still send troops to Granada?"
"Staff Officer, Xin Gene did not attack Granada. The peace talks have not yet failed and the war has not yet begun again." Renas stood aside and corrected seriously.
"I know, New Gene is just using this to increase the bargaining chips. However, if the negotiation fails, New Gene will immediately descend to the moon and Granada will still be captured." Meicha stomped his feet in anger. "The people in the federal government are so naive that they believe that Kissilla Zabi will sit down to negotiate. The people in the General Staff are really, and they are completely putting the cart before the horse to disperse their troops for the colony that they don't know when they will rebel."
"It's a pity that none of the staff officers in the General Staff are as wise as you." Lenas smiled sarcastically, "Of course, if they were really wise, this war would have ended long ago."
"Col. Are you mocking me?" Mecha raised his eyebrows and was furious. It was a headache for him to fail to seize the opportunity of Gremy's rebellion to destroy New Gene. He always regretted not being able to make a quick decision at the beginning, so he was so excited after hearing Renas's words.
"No." Lenas smiled, "I am mocking the entire Federal Army's General Staff."
"you!"
"What do you want?" Lenas asked with a stern face.
"No!" Mei Cha calmed down and dared not have another attack.
Lenas took a deep breath and said frankly: "Staff Officer, I have heard that the Federal Army is very dissatisfied with the destruction of Luna II. Don't worry about this! I will take responsibility."
"Thank you very much, Colonel Lenas." Meicha's atmosphere immediately became louder. What he was most worried about was the Luna II.
At this moment, the radar officer reported: "Col. Reinas, the new Agama signal was found in front of him."
"New Agama?" Mecha said horrified, "How could he be in this place? Wasn't he besieged by New Gene in Granada?"
Renas was suspicious, but he didn't dare to neglect it, saying, "It seems that Xin Gene was just using this as an excuse. Xin Yagama did not retreat to Granada. He approached the past and joined it."
In media reports, the negotiations went smoothly. New Gene and the federal government agreed with some of the conditions proposed by each other. However, the two sides had a dispute over the New Gene army and Granada. The federal government did not allow New Gene, who was nominally surrendered to the Earth Federation, to have a ** armed force, and at the same time unceremoniously refuted the "transfer of Granada" proposed by New Gene. New Gene was also extremely determined in armed and Granada. After all, armed forces are self-defense and guaranteed, and Granada has security. Therefore, after the sneak attack on the New Agama in mid-April, New Gene found an excuse to send troops to siege Granada.
Ten minutes later, the fleet merged, and Renas saw the wounded New Agama and the crew on the ship. The captain was his old friend Brad Noah, and Chara and Gundam were also there. But surprisingly, in addition to them, there were Amro Li and Camu Vader.
"What happened, Captain Brad? Didn't he go to the outside of the atmosphere to perform a secret mission? Why did he sneak attack New Gene at SIDE3?" Lenas asked Brad in the communication screen.
Brad replied awkwardly: "Our secret mission at the periphery of the atmosphere is to store the shuttles that Amro and Camull were riding, and then go to Moons II to meet you. However, Moons II counterattack was too smooth. We just collected the shuttles and the battle was over. At the same time, the General Staff issued an order to take advantage of the peace talks to launch a sneak attack and attack Kicelia Zabi. As a result, we were defeated by New Gene's new human troops and finally escaped here."
"It's actually like this." Renas couldn't help but exclaim, but knew that things were not that simple.
There are hawks and doves in the federal government and the federal army. The doves try to end the war with peaceful means, while the hawks tend to continue the war. However, now the doves are in power. The hawks cannot mobilize a large number of troops and can only use their personal relationships to mobilize elite squads such as the New Agama. As a result, the New Agama was defeated, and the New Gene army took the opportunity to march into Granada. The doves in the federal government further weakened the hawks.
After listening to Captain Brad's words, all the unknown questions in Lenas's mind were answered. Through this, she was even more dissatisfied with the federal government.
It is not impossible to start a war, and it is not impossible to use the resources and combat power of the federal army to defeat the new Gene army without any sacrifice. However, such combat that only provides excuses to the enemy is too unwise. The Earth Federation was still intriguing at this time, which could not be trusted by her.
The communication continues. Lenas asked: "Captain Brad, how powerful is the new Agama?"
"MS has damaged a lot. I have contacted Von Brown, and Von Brown has also asked us to receive supplies in the past." Captain Brad replied.
"Then this ship will protect your ship to von Brown."
"Thank you so much."
After the communication, Lenas turned to Mecha and said, "Staff Officer, I now have a combat plan and I hope you can support it. Of course, if you disagree, you can disembark at von Brown and this ship will sail to Granada."
Mecha was stunned and said in surprise: "Col. Renas, don't do anything randomly!"
"It doesn't matter." Lenas smiled slightly, "Granada's new Gene army is not large in size, otherwise Granada would have surrendered long ago."
"However, the peace talks have not ended yet, and you may trigger a war when you do so." Meicha reminded.
"The war will definitely happen, and neither side will make concessions. The only way to stop the war is to weaken the combat power of New Gene." Lenas said seriously, "Only in this way can the situation where New Gene is dominant and bring a glimmer of hope to the negotiations. Otherwise, New Gene can negotiate without being an excuse to start a war."
"That's what it means, but..."
"If you agree, the credit will be yours after the event is completed. I will say, 'It is the strategy proposed by the staff officer'." Renas smiled, "Of course, Granada may not be able to fight either. Maybe our army will scare away the new Gene army when it arrives, and they may not want to start a war over the moon city."
"Then... well!" Meicha thought about it carefully, unable to resist the ambition in his heart, so he had to nod.
