Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 243 All-round Extermination
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

If he had a choice, Abbot Halik would definitely choose to puncture his own cochlea and cut off his own ear to become deaf, because in this way, he could prevent the demon's filthy words from entering his memory.

Unfortunately, he had no choice. From the moment he became a prisoner of war of the Federation Army, he was destined to become an unfortunate experiment to be manipulated by Makarius.

After the effects of the confession serum wore off, Abbot Harik couldn't stop thinking about that despicable history of the hook, which was inextricably linked to the monk Lefan Hu. In other words, the stronger his faith, the more he couldn't help but think about it. What made Harik most unbearable was that Macarius had done this not only to him, but also to other prisoners...

It is difficult to establish faith, but it is easy to collapse, especially for ordinary believers, because their faith is driven by some purpose, whether it is to pray for health or wealth. Precisely because of this, when rumors spread, their backlash will be all the more intense.

Abbot Halik was powerless to do anything about it. He prayed incessantly and chanted scriptures in his heart, trying to suppress his turbulent thoughts. Abbot Halik even prayed to the monk Lei Fanhu to help him get those things out of his mind, but Lei Fanhu did not respond to him, which made the abbot feel somewhat aggrieved.

"Colonel, I'd like to speak with you!"

Lieutenant Colonel Monica from the New Human Research Institute stopped Macarius.

"Of course, please!"

Marcarius knew that the other party was obviously also quite uneasy because of that damned rumor. After all, Rafan Hu used to be Monica's favorite student at the New Human Research Institute.

"Lei Fanhu was once our research subject!"

"I know that he became like this because of your experiments, right?"

"Looks like you know quite a lot!"

"Yes, that's why I think it's absolutely necessary to shut down the New Human Research Institute. After all, if it were me, I would never release a test subject who has been studied for so long. In fact, I think you did it on purpose!"

"That was just an accident; Lei Fanhu only had a year to live at the time."

"Yes, Ms. Monica, a test subject who was used as a guinea pig for a very long time, whose physical health was destroyed, who lost her ability to speak, and who even only had one year to live, what makes you think she would accept her fate so easily?"

"So I'm here to correct this mistake!"

"I'm already correcting it, and I'm correcting it in every aspect!"

Unlike Dozruzabi, who is currently in prison awaiting trial, Revanhu is unlikely to accept a federal trial. Therefore, there is only one possible fate for him. However, Makarius does not want this guy to die with a heroic ending, as that would have endless consequences. Destroying a person's body is easy, but dismantling their mind is difficult. Before Revanhu becomes too powerful, Makarius intends to nip everything in the bud!

"What you're considering seems to be something a thousand years from now!"

"I must be really bored. But you're right, thinking about the long term has always been my habit!"

"Then, I have a request!"

"Do you want to see Lei Fanhu again, if you have the chance?"

"Thank you then!"

"Oh, Mom and son!"

Watching the other man leave, Makarius shook his head and then left the officers' lounge of the Sparta, preparing to report his follow-up combat plan to Djamitov.

Makarius was prepared to continue his all-out extermination, completely separating Reverend and his followers in every sense of the word. Djamitov naturally agreed, as he enjoyed this approach—to utterly eliminate the enemy, both physically and mentally.

After hearing the battle plan, Djamitov stopped Makarius, who was about to leave, and then said something meaningful.

"Colonel, don't you think there might be some problems with the current operation of the Federation Army?"

"You mean?"

"Given the existence of various anti-Federal forces, our actions are always subject to various restrictions and constraints, and we are even unable to react quickly, which causes us to waste many opportunities!" "So, what are your thoughts?"

"I think it's very necessary to establish a separate special operations force to deal with these rebels. What do you think?"

"That's a good idea, sir, but I think it's more important to directly eliminate the breeding ground for rebellious parties."

Jamitov looked at Makarius and then shook his head.

"Too naive, Colonel, that's impossible!"

"But I think it's worth a try!"

"Young people are so energetic! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Djamitov burst into laughter, then gestured for Makarius to leave. But as soon as he left, Djamitov's expression changed.

"Don't you agree?"

Djamitov was somewhat displeased. As a hardliner among the military's hardliners, he was dissatisfied with many of the Federation Army's current policies and even sought to change them. Unfortunately, after General Kinklini decided to leave his faction's resources to Makarius, Djamitov lost a major ally. Therefore, he hoped to have a very good cooperation with this rising star in the military.

To Djamitov's surprise, the other party remained unmoved by his proposal and even made some rather naive and idealistic remarks.

Djamitov didn't believe that Makarius's words were his true feelings!
Then there's only one answer: this rising star in the military clearly doesn't have a high opinion of his own plan!

However, Jamitov did not give up. After all, Makarius's usual combat performance could even be described as brutal. He had never shown any mercy to his enemies. Such a person probably just felt that his plan was a bit conservative!
However, Djamitov's so-called rapid reaction force plan is not yet mature. He needs to use this operation against the Nanyang Alliance to refine it. Presumably, once a more detailed plan is developed, the other party's attitude will change drastically!

After successfully destroying the important supply base of the Southern Alliance and seizing a batch of military raw materials and beam weapons controlled by the federal government, the Spartan took a rare two-day rest. Of course, this was not because the Federation wanted to let the tiger return to the mountain, but because the noose was too tight, which would only make the remaining strongholds of the Southern Alliance hide even deeper.

There are more than a hundred habitable islands within the Alliance territory. Even if everyone on the Spartacus had three heads and six arms, they couldn't possibly search them all. A couple of days of rest would allow the monks of the Nanyang Alliance to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, feeling a sense of urgency, they would seize the time to transfer the various materials needed to create the mental Zaku. At this point, the Federation forces could launch another attack, leaving the Nanyang Alliance in a state of ecstasy and despair.

While the combat forces of the strike fleet have entered a resting state, the high-definition reconnaissance satellites deployed in space and the ground reconnaissance teams have not rested. Even the rebuilt Federation Navy submarine fleet has once again entered the South Pacific Alliance waters. The new Federation submarine sailors are determined to reclaim the glory that was taken away by the Zeon aquatic creatures. If they can't beat that group of aquatic creatures, surely they can beat the mere Zani.
The strike fleet also received a new batch of reinforcements, including a new mobile combat force and more logistical support personnel. After all, the strike fleet had cleared several military bases of the South Pacific Alliance. Although these bases had been taken over and controlled by the Federal Navy and Marine Corps, the Gabro base still chose to send a batch of reinforcements because their combat capabilities were not outstanding.

Apart from the targets attacked by Makarius, the bases of the Nanyang Alliance were mostly intact and could be put into use with only minor repairs, making them perfect for serving as outposts to monitor the Nanyang Alliance.

As Djamitov and Makarius had planned, once they realized that the Federation forces had slowed down their operations, several disguised transport ships soon sailed out from the islands controlled by the Southeast Asian Alliance near the Indochina Peninsula.

"These guys seem to have really amassed quite a lot of good stuff!"

"Isn't that obvious? Remember that temple we shut down?"

Jamitov was referring to a Nanyang Alliance temple that was recently sealed off by federal troops. Because Revanhu had held many religious ceremonies there, it was regarded as a holy site by believers, and therefore was shut down by the federal troops.

Then, the military police searched the temple and found hundreds of kilograms of gold, as well as various other precious metals and jewelry, all of which came from the contributions of believers. Not to mention that the temple itself also had an ancient golden Buddha statue. The haul was so rich that many federal officers were secretly thinking that they would come here to make a killing after they retired from the military.

Thanks to its accumulated wealth, the Nanyang Alliance acquired many valuable items, most of which came from neutral merchants on the moon and side 6, and a considerable amount were sold by corrupt elements within the Federation.

However, the operation to strike the fleet was clearly very effective. After all, the monks of the Nanyang Alliance had even chosen to act in groups, preparing to deliver the remaining reserves to Lei Fanhu in one go. This was very risky, but the monks still did it, which meant that Lei Fanhu himself was also anxious!

"Leave only one target for surveillance. Assign the rest of the targets according to the distance between the units. I don't want to see these ships floating on the sea anymore. Fire all your missiles. No mercy to our enemy!"

Djamitov then issued the order.

Then, coordinated strikes from the Federal Navy and Air Force covered their respective targets.

　The second update is a bit shorter, mainly because I'm too tired and need to go to bed early.
