Chapter 148 Gerhardt's Plan

Yang Hui slept for 14 hours before waking up. He felt that his dazed nerves finally became clear.

"Are you awake?" At this time, You Lin came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

"Yeah."

"Go and take a shower."

"Okay."

Yang Hui took off his clothes, kissed You Lin gently when he passed by her, and then went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

Sometimes, there is really no need for a grand and passionate love, just the simplest few words can make people feel extremely happy. This has surpassed love and become family affection. It is this kind of plain happiness that makes Yang Hui fearless of any battle.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Yang Hui and You Lin came to the restaurant to eat. Whether it was a high-intensity battle or a long sleep, they felt very hungry.

"Yo! You are awake too."

Walking into the restaurant, Yang Hui and You Lin saw Graham who was wolfing down food.

"It seems you slept well too." Yang Hui and You Lin sat down next to Graham and turned to look at the kitchen. "Old Firehead, hurry up and get some food!"

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago, Captain. This is my private collection." The cook called Old Firehead immediately brought a few large plates and placed them in front of Yang Hui and You Lin.

It stands to reason that you can't cook in the universe, and there is no need for cooks on the ship, but [Bai Ze] is an exception.

High-difficulty tasks and high-intensity battles naturally require better logistical conditions. [Bai Ze] not only has a dedicated nutritionist, but also has a gym, chess and card room and other entertainment facilities.

Old Firehead is an old hand that Yang Hui dug from the army. Every time he supplies, he will secretly make some dishes that can only be eaten on Earth on the colony satellite or base, and then bring them to [Bai Ze].

"When I have time, I will study the gravity system so that you can also flip the pot in the universe." Yang Hui said to Old Firehead while eating.

"That won't do, Captain. You're already tired from fighting. If I add more work to you, the others will tear me apart." The old man laughed.

"What a joke. Let them come to me if they have any objections. These bastards, won't they enjoy the good news after the matter is resolved?"

"Hehe, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

The three of them finished all the food in a few seconds and came to the bridge.

"Captain!"

"Well, go on, Angola, report the situation."

"Yes! This ship and the Song Girl are on their way to the XD37 reef space area. It is expected to arrive in two days and cross in five days."

"Reef space area?" Yang Hui frowned slightly as he looked at the path map that Angola Zuo had called up.

"Yes, I discussed it with Captain Miles and concluded that VEGAN would definitely set up an ambush attack again. Because it is impossible to determine the specific ambush location, Captain Miles and I agreed that if we give up the shortest route and turn to the reef space area, we will definitely avoid VEGAN's ambush and arrive safely at the [Giant Ring] base." Angola Zuo reported.

"That's hard to say." Yang Hui said. Logically, with the escort of the [Tianren] Brigade along the way, as long as the front line was not lost, the Song Girl would not be in danger even if she was ambushed on the shortest route. This was also Yang Hui's original plan.

The Reef Universe is a meteorite belt with countless meteorites floating in it, and the naturally chaotic magnetic field will greatly limit the performance of the enemy detection system. In addition, there are large and small meteorites, small ones hide MS, and large ones can even hide warships, so it is a natural ambush site. Even if there are no enemies, warships will cause huge damage when they hit meteorites, so they must move forward carefully.

In the original plot, Mi Lisi thought of giving up the shortest route and entering the Reef Universe just to bypass VEGAN's attack, but what she didn't expect was that Gerhart also judged their plan, so he had already ambushed in the Reef Universe.

Yang Hui believes that it must be the same now, but...

"Captain, do you mean that VEGAN can guess that we changed the route?" Angola Zuo asked.

"It's just a possibility. It's better to be careful. There's no need to turn around now. Just inform the Songbird to stay alert."

"Yes!"

Angola Zuo immediately contacted Milice and told her the situation, while Yang Hui stared at the universe map and thought.

"How many troops will you send to intercept us this time? Gerhard."

...

In another universe, VEGAN's Downs Fortress was heading towards the Reef Universe.

"Lord Gerhard, we are about to arrive at the Reef Universe."

"The fortress stops, and the Els Fleet and the Bit Fleet enter the Reef Universe and wait." Gerhard ordered.

"Yes!"

"Lord Gerhard, are the two fleets enough?" Daz Roden worriedly said. Their opponents are not only the Songbird, but also the [Celestial] Brigade, which is the biggest enemy. He is worried that the power of the two fleets is not enough to destroy the [Celestial] Brigade.

"Is that machine ready?" Gerhardt asked. His X-Rounder ability was very strong, and his driving skills had reached B-. The combination of the two could even bring him to the level of B-. Unfortunately, even the [Jedus R] that had been modified specifically according to his data could not keep up with his movements.

He urgently needed a machine that could keep up with his speed. In this way, he would have the confidence to contain one of the three archangels and gain more advantages for the other troops.

"The debugging of [Jedra] has entered the final stage and will be completed soon. And this..." As he said this, Daz Roden handed Gerhardt a mask.

"What is this?"

"This is a device that controls Gerhardt's X-Rounder ability."

"Control?"

"To be more precise, it helps to stabilize the ability and communicate with the body. As far as Gerhardt is concerned, if the ability is maximized, the body itself will not be able to support it." Daz Roden explained.

"Is it inconvenient to have power?" Gerhardt smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It will not work if you wear and remove it repeatedly in a short period of time. Please wear it on weekdays during long-term battles."

"I see." Gerhardt said, and put on the mask. He could feel an unknown force limiting his X-Rounder ability. Although it was very small, Daz Roden also said that it needed to be worn for a long time, so Gerhardt didn't think much about it.

"Complete the debugging of the machine as soon as possible. I will also attack this time."

"But Lord Gerhardt, you are now the commander. For your safety..."

"Is there anyone else who can stop [Celestial Being]?" Gerhardt interrupted Daz Roden's dissuasion.

"..."Daz Roden couldn't say. The combat effectiveness of the [Celestial Being] brigade was too amazing. VEGAN did not arrange elite troops to fight them, but even the excellent X-Rounder troops were destroyed by them. Gerhardt was VEGAN's best MS pilot, and only he could possibly stop [Celestial Being] with a new machine.

But this is only a possibility, and the opponent has three people, while Gerhardt is only himself, one against three...no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.

"The space in the Reef Universe is limited. Sending two fleets in is already the limit. Sending more fleets will be disadvantageous to us. This is also the last place where we can ambush them. We must not miss it. Even if we fail...if I am here, I can ensure that more people come back alive." Gerhardt said.

In fact, even he himself did not have the confidence to destroy the [Tianren] brigade, but this was a great opportunity. Gerhardt had carefully studied the battle records of Yang Hui, Graham and Yulin. One was a combat assault, one was a fire attack, and one was a sniper support. The three of them worked together like a complete army. Because of Yang Hui's fire attack, Graham could charge recklessly without worrying about the back. Because of Yulin's long-range sniping, Yang Hui and Graham did not have to guard against enemy planes that wanted to sneak attack them. Moreover, because Graham was in front, Yang Hui and Yulin did not have to worry about the frontal enemies rushing up.

And... the weird floating gun, which was also VEGAN's nightmare. Although a lot of data was collected through countless battles, similar weapons and equipment were still not manufactured.

"Besides the Amanto Battalion, the biggest threat to VEGAN now is the Gundam AGE series."

"AGE system... For so many years, even the Federation has been unable to crack the technology. It is said that its creator, Fleet Asuno, himself cannot copy it. Is this true?"

"Yes, it is true, but the AGE system is irrelevant now. Although it can allow the Gundam AGE series to evolve endlessly, through the intelligence sent by the Federation's insider, Yang Hui has been able to transform the AGE system and use it for purposes other than the Gundam AGE series. At the same time, he is also an excellent MS designer. It is because of his existence that the technological gap between the Federation and us is rapidly narrowing, so..." As he said, Gerhart called up Yang Hui's photo, "... This person is the biggest obstacle to our plan."

"I understand, but his personal strength..." Daz Roden fully understood Yang Hui's threat, but to be honest, he was still not optimistic about this operation. After all, Yang Hui left too many shadows on VEGAN.

"So the Reef Universe is our biggest opportunity. The special magnetic field is conducive to our sneak attack. In addition, in this universe, the sniper support of the [Moon Angel] will be restricted, and the strange weapons of the [Judgment Angel] and the [Battle Angel] will also be hindered. As long as their connection is disconnected, we will have an opportunity." Gerhard said.

"I see, then Lord Gerhard, I will also..."

"You have to stay and assist Medel Sant in managing the Downs Fortress. If..." Gerhard paused, "...if I can't come back, let Medel Sant take over as the commander-in-chief of the Earth attack operation."

"Lord Gerhard!"

"This is the best opportunity to eliminate Yang Hui. I can't let it go. For the plan of Lord Izelkanda and for the Eden in our dreams, I... must take a risk." Gerhard stared at Daz Roden and said.

"...Yes, I understand."

After speaking, Gerhard returned to his room. He didn't look like he was ready to die before. Instead, he smiled and was in a very relaxed state.

During this period, he frequently contacted the Federation's insiders and collected a lot of information about Yang Hui. From the analysis of the information, he found that Yang Hui was very ruthless to his enemies and would never show mercy. On the other hand, he was very good to his own people, very serious when teaching, and very easy-going in private. He did not have the demeanor of the "God of Death" at all.

Since Yang Hui had already discovered him and had not arrested him as a spy, it meant that Yang Hui did not regard him as an enemy, and had also subtly taught him many truths that he had never thought of before.

In addition to his agreement with Arthur...

So Gerhardt judged that even if the battle failed, Yang Hui would most likely let him go.

This was also a great opportunity for him. As long as Yang Hui did not kill him, he would have the opportunity to evacuate with more subordinates, and in this way, the internal doubts about him would be greatly reduced.

And...

"Mr. Yang Hui, I am looking forward to fighting with you."
