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

Chapter 42 Pre-war meeting
"There is no doubt that Ramba Lal's men will continue the pursuit, but in this case we still have to attack Odessa."

The White Base, which had just destroyed Mine No. 86 under Ma Kebei's men, was now spreading high concentrations of Minovsky particles while continuing to move towards Odessa.

In the briefing room, during the combat meeting, the White Base successfully contacted the Jaburo headquarters through coded communications and received direct instructions from General Rebil.

"Our army will launch a general offensive against Odessa next. Before that, I hope the White Base can conduct a surprise attack behind Odessa. For this purpose, the Media fleet is already on the way."

Although the Federation has not yet used new recruits and young soldiers on a large scale like Zeon, every troop in its possession is invaluable.

Especially since we will have to counterattack the universe later, we will need more manpower.

Otherwise, even if the MS is manufactured, it will just be scrap metal in the warehouse.

On the front battlefield in Odessa, most of the Federation's MS pilots had just received the first batch of mass-produced GMs. To be cautious, they naturally let the White Fortress, which already had experience in reorganization operations, to tear open the defense line.

“So, we need to be prepared to fight this battle on both sides.”

After the old man with a thick white beard ended the call, Brad took the stage to conduct pre-war mobilization and tactical planning for the combatants.

With Eli stationed there, Brad didn't have to worry about everything. He could even let Eli act as his deputy when there was no fighting, and he could catch up on some sleep.

So Brad is now in high spirits to face the tough battle ahead.

Even so, facing the trust of General Rebil and the pressure of casualties among the entire army, he was inevitably very nervous.

Rebill has a talent for identifying and employing people, and he naturally knows that Brad is too young now and may not be able to withstand such pressure.

But he had no choice but to do so.

General Revil's speech that inspired the resistance spirit of the entire Federation, "Zeon has no more soldiers available," is true. Zeon, which is already small in size, finds it difficult to control all the occupied areas.

This is why the White Base was able to reach all the way from North America to Eastern Europe.

But is the situation on the federal side any better? There is still a shortage of people.

So Rebir could only trust Brad.

"Lieutenant Eli, do you have any ideas?"

After Brad declared the hard requirement to launch an attack, he began to question the combat personnel below.

Eli, Amuro, Krillin, Kai, Ryu.

These are all the pilots on board this ship, with a total of four MS capable of launching attacks.

"It is impossible to divide our forces and act separately. We do not have enough troops."

Eli said this very politely.

In fact, what he really wanted to say was that the driving ability of Kobayashi and the other two was completely inadequate to stand on their own, and that Amuro and Eli fighting separately would only weaken the power of the attack.

"In that case, I suggest a lightning operation. The White Base rushes towards Odessa at maximum speed, with the Guncannons and Guntanks defending on both sides. Amuro and I will be the piercing arrows in the front, tearing through the enemy's defenses."

Talking about blitzkrieg on this Ukranian soil made Eli feel some indescribable subtle emotions.

However, Eli still stepped forward to the podium in the briefing room and drew a line on the screen that was already displaying the topographic map, indicating the forward route of the white base.

"how?"

After Eli planned his route on the map, he turned to ask Brad for his advice.

Although both of them are lieutenants, Brad's military rank is higher than Eli's.

"There's nothing wrong with the general strategy, but why do we have to go around this canyon?"

Brad stretched out his hand and drew a new route in front of a canyon based on Eli's plan. He no longer chose to bypass the canyon, but rushed directly through the canyon. "The width of this canyon is still a bit tight for the White Fortress, and if Zeon deploys heavy firepower in the canyon, there will be no room for detours."

Eli reminded Brad of this quite seriously, but received a small but noticeable look from the latter.

"So I have expectations for you, and for Amuro-kun. If that happens, I hope that the two Gundams can immediately eliminate the threat to the White Fortress."

Brad looked at Eli, then at Amuro.

At this time, Amuro felt some changes in Brad.

He still insisted on his own ideas on combat, but chose to trust the MS pilots on the front line in more detailed decisions instead of remotely controlling every action.

There is no doubt that this is trust in Amuro and trust in Eli.

"But……"

Eli, who wanted to play it safe, was planning to say something to ask Brad to think it over carefully.

But Amuro suddenly stood up from his seat at this moment.

"I will do it. Protect the White Base!"

This was not because I wanted to prove myself and was angry with Brad in the past, but because I wanted to respond to Brad's trust and was willing to do my best to do it.

This is a huge difference, so much so that even Eli, who has no system bonus, can feel Amuro's determination.

Seeing that the two of them were gradually beginning to have the two pillars of support from Londo Bell, Eli couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Is that so? Then let's do it. We'll just go straight through Zeon's heartland!"

Eli smiled brightly and saluted Brad.

"Thank you for your leadership, Captain."

Brad saluted Eli at the same time, while Krillin and the others saluted under the leadership of Long and Amuro.

……

Later that day, Magiluda led the Media fleet to the White Base.

The beautiful figure with orange-red hair attracted the attention of the male crew members on the ship as always, even Amuro was unable to avoid it.

This made Frau very jealous, and she puffed up her cheeks to try to draw Amuro's attention back to herself.

Eli, who was receiving supplies in the hangar, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Majiloda.

"Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, so heroic..."

At this moment, someone next to him suddenly asked Eli a question, and Eli subconsciously answered the other person's question.

But halfway through his answer, Eli realized something was wrong.

The voice that asked the question was a girl's voice.

The list of supplies and the pen in Eli's hands shook visibly.

He turned his head stiffly and saw Sera with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Eli with disdain.
