Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 276: Deployment of Troops
Eli didn't know that the battle in the Reef Space had already come to an end.

Now he is above the back of the moon.

This is Granada, the largest lunar city on the far side of the moon.

It is also the headquarters of the Yasuhiro Group.

Eli was still sitting in the Alexander-class ship that was carrying him to the Republic of Zeon.

However, the internal hangar only carried three MSs, and the rest were soldiers and traditional armored units.

Obviously, the Alexander-class ship that appeared over Granada this time was not intended to compete with the Titans for control of the lunar surface.

Because they are competing for control with the owner of Granada, the Yashio Group.

If they are not careful, the cooperative relationship that Yashio and Onde Tech have built up will be broken.

"Because of the outer isolation shield of the lunar city, we cannot directly land troops. We need to deploy troops from the port area to the interior."

Eli was watching Taxa lecturing his hand-picked Marines.

"Attention, the military and police in Granada who are willing to cooperate with us will have a red logo on their right arm."

Taxa moved his right arm, signaling everyone to separate.

"At the same time, communications will be limited to channels 13, 14, and 17, and friend-or-foe identification will also be based on communications."

Looking at the captains of each team in front of him, who entered different channels according to the assignment of tasks, Taxa nodded and began to describe the battle.

"We have three targets in total: the port area, the factory area, and the Yasu Building."

Although lunar cities are generally three-dimensional structures, the actual number of troops required to suppress an entire lunar city is an astronomical number.

However, their goal has never been to suppress those civilians, but to assist the forces led by Mile Yashio to seize control of the entire Yashio Group.

On this basis, the enemies they have to deal with can actually be said to be the powerful.

And none of those powerful people were willing to leave the first floor and go down to the lower areas which they regarded as civilian areas.

"In addition, everyone is reminded to minimize the impact on civilians whenever possible."

This was not Eli's request, but an order given by Taxa himself as the commander.

Even though Taxa is a man who treats himself and his enemies with a tough attitude, the impact on civilians seems to be his bottom line.

Then, Eli noticed the other party's gaze.

Without any further communication, Eli stood right in front of the square.

"Although I am the commander, I know nothing about your battlefield!"

Eli was the first to lower his status, which made the Marines below smile knowingly.

"Even so, we who are on different battlefields must be fighting for the same goal! But what I want to tell you is that our goal is definitely not just to change the Earth Federation. What we are about to do is related to the liberation of all mankind!"

Eli extended his hand toward the Marines in front of him.

Even though some of the people in front of him were meeting Eli for the first time, they could clearly see the shining ideals in each other's eyes.

"Humanity should no longer be troubled by energy and food shortages, but now we are still constantly fighting among ourselves. Is human civilization really an inferior existence?"

"Human wisdom should be able to transcend such things!"

Eli raised his hands.

These words were not only spoken to the Marines in front of him, but also to everyone who would participate in this operation.

"In order to make humans independent of gravity, we must de-center the Earth. And in order for humans to move forward into a more distant future, we need to remove the disease in humans. From speculators, to endocrinology, to everyone who wants to turn human civilization into private property, they are all our targets! And our actions today are the first shot we fire at the enemy."

Eli clenched his fists and looked at everyone in front of him.

"Gentlemen, lend me your strength!"

……

The dust has settled.

With the plan in mind, there were not many twists and turns in the action against the Yasushi Group.

Even then, the outside world did not know what had happened in Granada.

If he was simply targeting the Yasushi Group, Eli might have to consider the impact on Onde Tech's other corporate supporters.

Fortunately, thanks to the existence of Mile Yashio, this incident is still "barely acceptable" to the outside world.

Don't accept? This Marine Corps will be stationed in Granada permanently.

Other companies also understand that this is a warning to them.

If Onde Tech can intervene in the Eight Continents, then those companies that are not as big as the Eight Continents will naturally have to put themselves in the right position.

Eli no longer participated in the subsequent affairs at this moment, but handed over the specific implementation of the Moon Chamber of Commerce's "uniting and struggling, and seeking 'unity' through struggle" to Mile Yashio for liaison and execution.

Now, in the eyes of the general public, Onde Tek's actions against the Eight Continents Group are probably just military actions, or even a struggle for power.

This must be avoided, and everyone should be informed of the reasons behind Ande Tek's actions and his future plans.

After Eli sorted out the general strategy, he handed it over to others to do.

He himself went to the port of the factory area with Captain Otto, who had been on standby for a long time.

Here, there is a ship under construction.

"Well, because I designed the Argama for AEUG, our new battleship was completed much faster than expected."

Eli led Otto to the dock here.

"The Kairam-class battleship is different from the Pegasus-class assault landing ship. It is a battleship designed specifically as a fleet flagship."

This is the area that the Marines prioritize to secure, so as not to affect Onde-Tech's subsequent combat plan.

"In addition to the requirements for MS operational capabilities, I also requested that the firepower of the first ship of this type of battleship be strengthened. The super mega particle cannon originally scheduled to be used by the AEUG was also installed on this battleship."

Even Eli, looking at the battleship in front of him, couldn't help but sigh at inertia.

This is an excellent battleship that was inspired by the Ireland-class, Argama-class and Alexander-class.

The Kairam-class was finalized in 0092 in the original work, but even in UC 153, when the Federation faced a new enemy, it was still the model fighting on the front line.

This undoubtedly proves its excellent performance and mature design as a warship.

And now, under Eli's coercion and request, this battleship appeared in the world five years ahead of schedule.

However, there are still many details that are different from the original La Kairam class.

For example, the catapult tracks on both sides are not circular, but inline like the Argama.

The super MEGA particle cannon is installed under the bow of the Kelam-class ship. Although this is a weapon that will affect the performance of the battleship after firing, the battleship used as a flagship does not need to consider this.

At the same time, in order to ensure that there would be no MS raid on the flagship and cause the fleet to become disabled, this type of battleship was equipped with a total of 22 anti-aircraft guns, truly achieving a no-blind-angle air defense circle.

"This battleship has not yet been named. I think as the first commander of this type of battleship, you should have the right to name it."

Although the Kelam-class battleships are slender, the length of this type of battleship reaches 487 meters, nearly twice as long as the White Fortress. As a fleet flagship, this battleship perfectly meets the requirements.

When Otto saw this battleship, he almost interpreted what it meant to be "shocked to the core".

The captain, who was originally somewhat depressed because his command caused the sinking of a legendary battleship, suddenly seemed to be injected with new strength.

"Is that so? This is my battleship."

Although he didn't know how this guy came to such a conclusion, Eli smiled and looked at the silent steel giant.

But soon, their imagination of the new battleship was interrupted by a sharp ring.

Eli hurried over to the intercom telephone mounted on the wall.

"what happened?"

He was afraid that something might have gone wrong with Grips again.

But what was unexpected was that this time the news was about something far away on the other side of the earth.

"The Axis fleet used nuclear bombs to severely damage the Titans fleet?"
-
"General! We have received a call from Jinmi Island, asking us to cooperate with them and eliminate the threat of the Axis Fleet with lightning speed!"

When Eli left the moon and sat in his temporary ship, the Alexander-class, the old captain immediately delivered the latest information.

This is to be expected.

Regarding the consequences of the nuclear bomb, the Federation is like a frightened bird.

"Where is the fleet sent by Jinmi Island?"

"A mobile fleet with the third Birmingham-class ship as its flagship."

Judging from the intelligence brought back by Onde-Tek's front-line troops, the number of warships is already on par with that of the Axis fleet.

Not to mention the Birmingham-class battleships, which are in some ways the most powerful battleships today, are in this fleet.

That's Kimmi Island, so it's naturally equipped with Alexander-class ships. Relying on its impressive firepower and number of carrier-based aircraft, it makes up for the shortcomings of the Birmingham-class in fleet combat.

Even though the number of its fleet was comparable to that of the Axis Fleet, Kimmi Island was still cautious in asking Onde-Tek to send reinforcements, apparently out of concern for the beyond-visual-range weapon installed on the Gwabon-class.

Kimmi Island wants the Onde-Tek, which has many elite pilots, to launch a decapitation operation against the Axis fleet and dismantle the Gwabon-class, which poses too great a threat to the fleet.

Eli understood this immediately.

"As for Kimmi Island...what about GP02?"

The federal army on Jinmi Island did not intervene in the war between the two sides, and can be regarded as one of the rare truly neutral forces today.

Therefore, when it comes to fulfilling the Federation Army's obligations and launching attacks on foreign enemies like Axis, there should be no holding back.

"Yes! According to news from Kimmi Island, the nuclear warheads have been lifted!"

It was obvious that the tactic on Kimmi Island was to have Onder Tech's pilots cover the GP02 and use a nuclear bomb to settle the matter.

If GP02 is to get close to the Axis Fleet without disturbing it, Delphinium cannot be used, otherwise the noise it makes in the gravel belt will be enough to alert the Axis Fleet.

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Eli immediately thought of "the strongest Gundam pilot in the Federation", Amuro Ray!

"Can the White Base Team come back?"

"The latest report is that the enemy experimental unit has been discovered and is being tracked!"

This means that you are currently performing a mission and cannot participate.

And Onder Tech's original batch of pilots, Arcadia, Ryan, and Sandus are now stationed on the front line.

"Shandas... call Amada Shirou over here! It's time to fully integrate the people of Karaba into our community."

Because Eli had to take charge of frontline affairs, the GP04, which he no longer drove, was handed over to Shiro Amada.

After this period of time, Shiro Amada also regained his touch.

Coupled with his courage to use the iron ball to fight against the Zaku, which has not diminished over the years, this guy has regained his reputation and reduced the slight dissatisfaction within the company with his direct driving of the Gundam.

"And...how is the renovation of Gapland going?"

After much hesitation, Eli finally added himself to the list of driver options.

The Caplan, which had made many outstanding achievements, was handed over by Eli to Ishtar for modification.

“It’s done!”

"Then, turn around, set a course, and rendezvous with the Jinmi Island fleet."

Eli lowered his head and looked through the porthole at the brightly lit lunar city below.

Because this is humanity's bridgehead to the universe, privileges seem to be tacitly granted.

Even a space colony cannot leave the material exchange system that uses the moon as a transit point.

Ensuring that the moon is under our control is a key step in de-Earth-centrism.

If there was enough time, Eli would rather stay on the moon and continue to expand the achievements that Onde-Tech had just made.

Eli looked at the dividing line between the moon's surface and the moon's back, which was the boundary created by sunlight.

……

"Above that boundary, an iron curtain is slowly descending! Just like Gihren Zabi is imitating Hitler and trying to control the world in his hands, Eli Lee is also imitating Stalin, wanting to bring all the side and lunar cities under the centralized control of Onder-Tech, and deprive people of the right to live freely on Earth!"

The Chamber of Commerce that supports Onder Tech is ready to grit its teeth and continue to follow the same path, but Anaheim on the other side immediately panicked.

As one of the two largest capitals on the moon, Anaheim is the one that knows best what Onder Tech's move means.

In a panic, they immediately held a briefing and increased their investment in the Titans.

The first batch of Marase had just been wiped out, and new machines were about to be launched and delivered to the Titans.

"Is this really right?"

Nina, an important member of Anaheim Universe Development Department, was standing by the French window, her eyes revealing a mystery.

The Delta Gundam, which she led the design of, has just completed actual production.

This originally innocent woman was separated from her beloved because of their positions.

She seemed to be able to clearly see an iron curtain stretching before her.

She was thinking about the increase in the number of refugees and unemployed people she had seen in Von Braun during this period of time.

The letter tightly clenched in her hand revealed her unrest.

"Hong... Is this what you desire..."

Nina looked up and saw a flicker of light through the transparent dome of the lunar city.

Maybe that's what Uraki Hiroshi looks like when he struggles?

Nina gritted her teeth and made a decision that would betray her father's unpleasant love!
I'm sorry, dad.
