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

Chapter 254 A Farewell for One Person and a Goodbye for Two
"Lei Fanhu!"

Looking through the porthole at the two mechs facing off on the warship's boom, Lieutenant Colonel Monica whispered the name again. She didn't know why Lei Fanhu had come to find her—was it revenge, or a search for redemption? But at this moment, she was powerless and could do nothing.

Because the one blocking her way was none other than the top ace among the Federation's mobile suit pilots, and most importantly, Lei Fanhu's Newtype abilities had no effect on her at all. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Monica could only stand there, staring intently at everything outside, as if trying to imprint it all into her mind.

On the cantilever of the Sparta, Makarius politely waved his hand.

"Come on in, you're the guest, please go first!"

Lei Fanhu did not answer, but the sudden activation of Zagu's mental power still revealed his answer.

Two heat axes flew through his hands, accompanied by the agile tactical movements of the Zaku with his mental power, and then attacked Macarius.

Compared to Kado, Revanhu's mental Zaku movements were smoother because the former still relied on his limbs for coordination, while Revanhu relied on nanomachines in his brain, so the brainwave feedback was naturally faster than the limbs.

However, the axe blade that was about to strike was steadily blocked in mid-air by a beam saber. Immediately afterwards, the other axe blade was also blocked by the beam saber. The NT1, which had deactivated its Chobham armor, was not much slower than Rayfan Hu, and was even slightly faster.

As the four weapons clashed, NT1 raised its head, and then its menacing 60mm cannon began to spin again.

With less than a hundred shells remaining, the ammunition belt spun rapidly, feeding armor-piercing shells into the breech. Faced with this sudden attack, the mental Zaku had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

Fortunately, because there were too few shells, the armor-piercing shells didn't have time to hit the cockpit, but unfortunately, the main monitor of the Psycho Zaku was smashed to pieces.

Although the backup monitor was always online, the limited field of vision put Lei Fanhu at a disadvantage. The mental Zaku then forcibly deflected the force from the left and tried to push away Macarius's saber with the right axe blade. The latter then used the force to turn around and spin, and the right beam saber opened a deep wound on the mental Zaku.

The cockpit lights instantly switched to a dark red standby mode. The slash had directly destroyed a large amount of equipment on the lower back of the mental Zaku, and even the cabin's air conditioning stopped working.

After making that cut, NT1 stopped moving and beckoned to Lei Fanhu to continue.

"what!"

Looking at the Gundam with its eyes glowing red, Lei Fanhu, who had remained silent until now, suddenly recalled his painful life at the Newtype Research Institute. The light projected from the NT1's head and eyes finally made him lose his composure. He let out a difficult roar and then launched an even more ferocious attack on Macarius.

The heat axe, flashing with intense red light, swung back and forth. Each collision with the beam saber caused minor damage to the blade, but Lei Fanhu was completely oblivious. He had only one thought in his mind: to destroy the Gundam in front of him!

As the two continued their attack, their position gradually moved to the edge of the Spartacus. Seeing that he was about to force Markarius off the ship, Revan Hu became increasingly violent, and finally slammed both axes down on NT1 with a powerful downward strike.

But Macarius remained completely calm. The moment his mental Zaku leaped up, he suddenly raised his left arm, revealing the twin 110mm cannons on his wrist. Looking at the dark muzzle, Lei Fanhu instinctively chose to retract his axe to protect his already vulnerable cockpit.

In reality, Makarius's wrist cannon had long since run out of ammunition; he was just trying to scare his opponent.

Lei Fanhu realized he had been tricked a second time when he didn't hear the cannon fire. The next second, the NT1's beam saber was already aimed at his face.

Lei Fanhu tried to block with his axe, but when the two weapons clashed again, Makarius did not use force to overpower him. Instead, he took the initiative to release the beam saber in his hand and then gently flicked it upwards.

Then, NT1 flipped his free right hand and reached through Lei Fanhu's defensive gap, and the beam saber he had thrown landed back in his hand.

Then, NT1 twisted his wrist and cut off one of the mental Zaku's arms.

"Ahhhh!"

With his mental power, Zaguri roared again, and with his violent movements, some blood gushed from his mouth, quickly soaking his uniform.

The intense overload of the battle was putting a heavy burden on his body. The nanomachines inside him could no longer stabilize the tumor in his head. Even so, Lei Fanhu still opened his blood-red eyes and used his remaining arm to swing the thermal axe, trying to attack Macarius.

Makarius pulled the control lever, rotating his right arm to block the thermal axe with his right-hand saber. Then, he used the beam saber on his left arm to slash, severing Rayfanhu's only remaining left arm.

Then, Markarius pushed the pedal forward, and NT1 swiftly swept his leg, knocking the mental Zaku down on the warship's deck.

"The outcome of the Lakshir ritual is decided!"

Marcarius pressed the hilt of his beam saber against Revanhu's cockpit and then said coldly.

"However, since Lieutenant Colonel Monica wants to say something to you, you have one minute!"

"Really!"

In Markarius's mind, Revanhu was finally able to finish a sentence without worrying about being kicked out.

"Thank you then!"

Then, Revan looked toward the bridge of the Spartacus. His blurry eyes couldn't make out the moving figures, but he knew that Monica, the person he regarded as a mother, was standing there.

"Doctor, New Humans shouldn't be like this!"

Lei Fanhu said this with a heart full of regret and resentment.

After he finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Monica in the bridge also knelt down and covered her face, weeping.

Then he turned to Makarius again.

"It's a pity, Mr. Clini, we could have changed the world!"

"No one likes your world where you forcibly distort other people's thoughts. I will create my own future and write my own story!"

"A future I created myself?" Then, Macarius activated his beam saber, completely burning away the cockpit of the psycho-Zaku.

"No!"

When Markarius drew his beam saber, Lieutenant Colonel Monica let out a wail and then began to wail loudly, putting the Spartan bridge, which had been about to cheer, into an extremely awkward situation. Fortunately, the military police nearby were quick-witted and took her away.

Then, Makarius heard a deafening roar on the communication channel!

The enemy chieftain was beheaded, and our army achieved a great victory!
Jamitov, standing at the porthole, unusually raised his right hand and saluted NT1, who nodded in return.

"Colonel, we have completed the berthing and preparation work, and you may return at any time!"

"Excuse me, wait a moment, I need to take care of some personal matters!"

"what?"

The maintenance crew, who were eagerly anticipating NT1's return, then saw NT1 decisively jump off the deck of the Spartan.

What is he going to do?

"Handling personal matters?"

"Get lost! Don't pry into other people's business. The NT1's Chobham armor hasn't been recovered yet!"

Chief Engineer Kiyoshi Sakaki ruthlessly chased away his gossipy subordinates, while he didn't forget to raise his fist at the NT1 that was landing, as a celebration.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Sera was still standing in the same spot, watching the mobile suit slowly descend in front of her.

Then, the cockpit door of NT1 slowly opened, and Markarius, dressed in his uniform, gracefully landed on the lifting pole.

"Hey beautiful, wanna go for a drive?"

Seeing Sera's still-tears, Makarius extended his right hand as an invitation.

Sera couldn't help but deflate, revealing a rather shy and awkward smile. Then, she put her hand on his, letting Macarius hold her in his arms, and then quickly ascended back to the cockpit.

Then, NT1 set off towards the other side of the island. By this time, it was almost evening, and the entire Taal Island had returned to its former tranquility. The sun had already sunk most of its way into the sea, and the soft golden-red light reflected on the sparkling sea, creating a beautiful scene.

The returning seagulls hovered above the beach, while dolphins could be seen leaping out of the water near the shore, as if chasing the light and shadow on the surface.

"So beautiful!"

The entire cockpit now resembled a real-life movie screen, allowing the two people inside to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In this romantic atmosphere, the two quickly embraced and kissed.

"There's a really nice hot spring on the island, would you like to go check it out?"

"As long as you're here, I'll go anywhere!"

After everything was over, Makarius suddenly understood Char's favorite quote.

"These are all mistakes I made when I was young!"

"But it's okay, we're young, we have plenty of time to make mistakes!"

While Makarius was making the same mistakes he made in his youth, the Federation forces on the other side were wrapping up a special military operation. In fact, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about Taal Island. The island was originally built as the headquarters of the South Seas Alliance, and the island's inhabitants had all left before the battle began, so it was quite convenient for the Federation forces to clean up the battlefield.

Not to mention, the entire base was built with great care. Jamitov couldn't bear to continue destroying the entire volcano base. He planned to renovate it and use it as a submarine base for the Federation Navy's Pacific Fleet. After all, there were ready-made facilities and arsenals on the island, as well as geothermal resources for power generation, and freshwater could also be self-sufficient.

After all, the Federation has revoked all the autonomous powers of the Nanyang Alliance and brought it back under the Federation's jurisdiction. Therefore, it is normal to send more troops to garrison this sea area in order to continue to strike and weaken the remaining forces of the Order!

The lesson learned from Side 3 is enough. The Federation will not sit idly by and allow anti-Federal forces to develop again. Therefore, even though Lei Fanhu is dead and the core members of the Order Order have either been arrested or killed, the Federation will not relax its surveillance of the Nanyang Alliance and will continue to crack down on them until the influence of the Order Order is completely dismantled. This is what the Federal Government wants to do.

The military operations against the Nanyang Alliance were also quite successful. The overall casualties of the federal army were less than three digits, and the equipment losses were within acceptable limits. However, their results were quite substantial. All the technical equipment that the Nanyang Alliance had accumulated since the end of the year-long war was either destroyed or captured, and more than 10,000 military personnel were annihilated or captured.

Of course, it wasn't easy to do all this, and the Federation Army's expenses were also huge. At least for Rebil, after launching this special military operation, it would be impossible for the Federation Army to do anything else for at least a year.

The good news is that after destroying a large number of temples deployed by the Nanyang Alliance in the region, the Federal Army seized a huge amount of gold and other valuable artifacts. However, this gold could not be directly transported back to Gabulo, nor could it be sent to London. The Federal Army is at least a normal government. To re-establish basic order and consolidate its power in the Nanyang Alliance, a large amount of investment is needed.

Therefore, this funding will most likely be invested in this area! However, Rebil has come up with other ways to generate some extra income for the Federal Army's treasury. The Federal Army's construction corps is ready to take charge of the reconstruction of the Nanyang Alliance after its establishment.

In fact, Secretary General Humphrey, who has now been transferred to the Federal Department of Home Affairs, has also put forward a population relocation proposal, which is to settle some of the space residents in the South Pacific Alliance region and relocate some of the local residents to the Australian continent. This plan does not require too much expense for the current Federation, at least, since the Federation's economic situation during the One Year War was much better than in the other timeline.

At the same time that the strike fleet was cleaning up the mess, news of the annihilation of the Order of Order and the killing of Lefan Hu himself spread throughout the entire Nanyang Alliance. At the same time, evidence was also released that the Nanyang Alliance had recruited remnants of the Zeon and conducted human experiments.

In reality, the general public is always blindly obedient. The faith in Revan Hu was established quickly but also collapsed just as fast. Especially after the photos of the Zeon remnants who were killed were released one by one, the people of the Nanyang Alliance were no longer as close to the Order of Order as before. After all, they were also affected by satellite debris during the One Year War, and the Order's brainwashing had not distorted their sense of right and wrong. They still knew just how inhuman the Zeon remnants really were!
Therefore, the Nanyang Alliance did not cause any major trouble afterward, especially after the arrival of monks from ancient temples in East Asia. These monks, who followed ancient monastic traditions and practiced everything themselves, largely made up for the lack of faith among the local people. So much so that before the strike fleet had even left, a monk from the White Horse Temple was elected as the new abbot of the Nanyang Alliance region.

Of course, there were also people who felt confused and distressed by the news of the extermination of the remnants of the Zeon remnants. For example, a blonde beauty from Anaheim, Nina, never expected that Mr. Anabelcardo would be a member of the Zeon remnants, and even sacrifice his body for revenge against the Federation. A romance that had not yet begun was nipped in the bud, which greatly affected her. As a result, she decided to devote herself to her work and that love had nothing to do with her!
