Chapter 347 Cagalli Is Heartbroken

The sound of the gunfire was not loud. It should be in the corridor and hall outside the theater. It came and went quickly. After a few minutes, the gunfire stopped. Several people in black suits walked into the theater, led by a man in ZAFT uniform.

"Who are you?" Aslan and the other two asked, pointing their guns at the newcomers.

"It's okay, Aslan, Diego, and Nicol. They are all like-minded comrades."

Sure enough, the leading soldier walked into the light, allowing people to see his face clearly. If Yang Hui was there, he would definitely recognize him as Andre Bartfeld's former adjutant, D'Agosta.

"Miss Lacus, we should go."

"Okay." Lacus nodded, and then said to Aslan, Diego and Nicol, "Thank you, Aslan, Diego, Nicol."

"What on earth is..."

Lacus did not explain to the three people, walked out of the protection circle of the three people and came to Dagosta: "Where is Mentor Malchio?"

"He has set off safely."

"Then..." Knowing that Mentor Malchio is safe, her father had already left PLANT from the arranged route, and her trace must have been discovered, so she had to leave, "Aslan, Diego, Nicol, thank you for bringing Xiaofen."

"Lacus..."

"Before we meet next time, I hope you can see with your own eyes what happened and what is happening in this world, and who you and we should fight against."

Looking at Lacus's departing back, Lacus' parting words echoed in his mind. Maybe... they really need to use their own eyes to see, otherwise... they may not know whether they can still pull the trigger on the enemy.

…

The Archangel and the remaining Earth warships returned to Orb safely under the escort of the fleet. Since they have not yet confirmed that they will join Orb, their identities are sensitive and they cannot appear in front of the public. They can only go to the secret port to rest.

"Now you can finally rest for a while."

"Yes." Everyone was silent. There was no way. Since [Heliopolis], they have been in a state of tension. Until now, every time they can rest in peace, it is in Orb. This also makes them sigh from the bottom of their hearts that Orb is really a beautiful country.

After the warships entered the port, Uzmi took people to meet with the captains of each ship. Unlike the last time when they made a diplomatic statement in advance, this time they entered Orb privately, so they could not move freely. They could only be wronged to stay on their respective ships for the time being.

And Cagalli… after hurriedly boarding the Archangel, she was looking for Kira. She also thought Kira was dead, but now that she knew Kira was still alive, she excitedly ran to find him and was ready to give him a big hug as soon as they met. As a result, she stopped when she saw Frey next to Kira.

"Cagalli?"

"You… what is this?" Cagalli pointed blankly at Frey who was intimately holding Kira's arm.

"Well… it's what you see." Kira scratched his hair and said to Cagalli embarrassedly.

Kira was together with Frey again. After the separation of life and death, and the forced separation in Alaska, Kira and Frey had changed. Kira found the way forward and strengthened his heart, and Frey… of course it was impossible to completely turn around at once, but she also found her dependence on Kira, and how panicked she would be without Kira, so the hatred and exploitation decreased, and the true love increased.

"This… you… I…" Cagalli seemed to have suffered a huge blow and stepped back step by step.

"Cagali? What's wrong with you?" Kira was worried about Cagali for no apparent reason, thinking she was sick.

"Idiot!!!!"

With tears in her eyes, Cagali turned around and ran away, almost bumping into Yang Hui.

"This girl, what's wrong again... huh?" Yang Hui, who didn't know why Cagali went crazy again, understood everything after seeing Kira and Frey.

"Yang Hui, Cagali..."

"She's fine, she's intermittently crazy, she'll be fine after a while, don't worry about her." Yang Hui told Kira not to care about Cagali. Although Kira only cared about Cagali as a friend, after all, Frey was still around. It was wrong for a girlfriend to be around but think about another woman, whether it was just a friend or something else.

Besides, Cagali's affection for Kira was not necessarily love, it should just be a blood-related closeness. Let Cagali wake up as soon as possible, otherwise if she really misunderstood and learned the truth, it would be really fun.

"Really?"

"Yes, but you... congratulations." Yang Hui teased.

"Ahaha, thank you."

"Hmph!" Fulei turned her head and ignored Yang Hui. Although she had grown up and understood a lot of things, and knew that Yang Hui was not to blame for her father's death, she still hated him.

"Frelei..." Kira was embarrassed. One side was his girlfriend, and the other was his good friend. It was uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.

"Okay, I'll leave first. You can rest now. I'm still busy."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"I'm used to it, but Kira, Frelei..." When they passed by each other, Yang Hui said with his back to Frelei, "...really congratulations to you."

...

Yang Hui left the Archangel and went directly to the Ministry of National Defense. He also needed to listen to the battle reports on the territorial sea border and the report on Papua New Guinea.

"Morishima and Yamazaki were damaged, Bensen, Kirishima, and Ranmaru were slightly damaged. The fleet suffered very little loss, mainly the MS units. The First MS Battalion lost 8 machines. Fortunately, the pilots survived and were only slightly injured." Hu Gao reported regretfully.

"So... what are you regretting? This small number of casualties wiped out the entire ZAFT fleet." Yang Hui was amused by Hu Gao. Isn't it too much to be satisfied with such a result?

"No, it's just that through this battle, I discovered the shortcomings of our army."

"Tell me about it." Yang Hui and Huang listened carefully to Hu Gao's report. Hu Gao is an excellent commander, and the feedback from the front-line commander is the most real.

"It's mainly about the coordination between the MS troops and the fleet, and the M1 Heretic is not suitable for sea battles."

"Well... this is indeed a problem." Yang Hui and Huang also knew this. The M1 Heretic has just been mass-produced. Although it was designed to be modular from the beginning, and can be equipped with different armed backpacks to adapt to different combat environments like the Assault, mass production of the M1 Heretic is already the limit now. Orb does not have so much materials and funds to mass-produce specialized backpacks.

Armed backpacks are indeed not worth much, and Yang Hui can take out the design drawings at any time, but don't forget that most of Orb's materials and funds have been transferred to [Heavenly Pillars], which is the big customer that needs to be satisfied.

Moreover, even if it is really mass-produced, Orb does not have enough time for the pilots to adapt. The special modifications of a few aces are okay, but not all pilots have such strong adaptability. They can control the M1 Heretic freely after a long period of training. If they are given additional equipment and go to an environment they have never been to, they will not be able to show results in a short time.

"The problem of the M1 heretic cannot be solved for the time being, but the coordination between the troops... Huang."

"Well, I have already given the order, Hu Gao, the 4th and 5th fleets only have 3 days of rest time, and then you will lead the MS troops to conduct joint training, and then write a detailed report and suggestions to me."

"Yes."

"What is the current situation in Papua New Guinea?" Yang Hui asked again.

"Very smooth, because in the Alaska Campaign, Carpentaria only left the most basic garrison troops, and the troops in the Oceania Federation occupied area were basically transferred away. The remaining defenders don't even have a few MS, and they are basically armed helicopters and tanks. They can't stop our offensive at all." While reporting, Huang opened the battle map and marked the progress of the Orb fleet.

It can be seen that the Torres Strait is blocked, Cape Tribulation and Cook are threatened, and the defenders of the Carpentaria base dare not move. They can only watch Orb's troops land in the Gulf of Papua and then go deep into the inland.

"What's the situation in Port Moresby? Is there much damage?"

"No damage."

"No damage?"

"Yes, there was no fighting in Port Moresby at all. Gaelta was very good. He knew that Port Moresby was an important port. Subsequent support troops and supplies had to be sent from here to the front-line troops, so he didn't think of a strong attack at the beginning. The fleet heading to Port Moresby only confronted the defenders. After the main force landed in the Gulf of Papua, he ordered the special brigade and the elite marines to launch a sneak attack from behind Port Moresby. At the same time, he got help from the intelligence department and opened the door without any soldiers and occupied Port Moresby."

"Awesome." Yang Hui had to give Gaelta a thumbs up. Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, secretly attacking Chencang, this military strategy is simply amazing!

"The 3rd MS Battalion, the 7th and 8th Marine Battalions, and the 10th Air Strike Battalion have been sent to support us. The officers who accompanied them have also set off. They are all our people."

"It is now mid-May. Can we take over the entire Papua New Guinea before June?"

"If nothing goes wrong, we can, but it will take time to fully control it."

"...What is the attitude of the local residents towards us?"

"Of course they lined the streets to welcome us. The ZAFT army did not win the support of the people after occupying Papua New Guinea."

"What about their attitude towards the Adjusters?"

"I can't say that they like or are close to them. , but will not take the initiative to harm. "

"Enough, expand inward from Port Moresby." Yang Hui said, with Port Moresby as the source, drew a circle, "Put the control of these cities as the highest priority, I mean complete control!"

"Understood."

"Before June, the 1st MS Battalion and the Special Battalion must return to Orb, and all their work will be fully taken over by the 3rd MS Battalion and the 7th, 8th Marine Battalions, and the 10th Air Strike Battalion."

"Understood, I will pay attention to the time."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go see Lord Uzmi."
