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

Chapter 45: Zim Unlimited Fighting Tournament!
"Damn the Federals!"

Looking at the federal blast suppression troops who were tightly surrounded on the street and propelled by high-pressure water cannons, the Führer's Guards who were observing in secret were gritting their teeth at this moment. There was nothing they could do, because there was a traitor among them!
The Führer's Guards who had intercepted the convoy were acting under orders from their superiors. However, after the manor burned to ashes, they hadn't returned. When they finally sent someone to look for them, they discovered their bodies had been hanging from trees for so long they had already begun to stink! Furthermore, the bodies were missing their clothes; enraged Zeon civilians had even torn their underpants.

And when the President's Guard had finally collected the bodies and was preparing to report for merit and ask for some compensation for their brothers' families, news suddenly came out from the Federation that these dead guard members were actually federal agents who died heroically to cover the delegation. This left the Zeon people stunned. No, we don't know whether these people are federal agents or not. Those who can join the President's Guard are all genuine die-hard Zeon independence factions, the kind that would like to strap bombs to their bodies and trade one-on-one with the people on Earth. And you say they are federal spies!
This is a great insult!
Not to mention, this caused the loyalty of the President's Guard to be questioned by Kihlen. After all, there was a leak not long ago, and now a federal spy has appeared. Kihlen doesn't believe that there is no problem with the President's Guard!
Now, the families of the deceased Major Mars and several of his men have been packed up and sent to the decompression chamber overnight. They are probably cold by now and their bodies have become stiff. The self-examination within the Führer's Guard has also been initiated. If nothing unexpected happens, another group of unlucky guys in the guard will be packed up and taken to the asteroid belt to mine because of various problems. After all, there are fierce struggles within the guard!
Those wandering the streets are the ones who need to be purged. Although they have done nothing wrong, Mars is one of theirs after all!
In order to atone for their sins, these members of the Führer's Guard have received new orders to disrupt the federal suppression efforts and add fuel to the riots.

"Are you ready?"

The commander of the guard looked at several of his men, all of whom were wearing thick coats, and underneath the coats were loaded rifles.

"Ready!"

Seeing that the federal army was pressing towards the crowd on his side, the commander immediately gave his men a look.

Afterwards, as the Federation Army habitually fired bean bag rounds and tear gas to disperse the crowd, several gunshots were heard from the Zeon crowd.

Immediately afterwards, someone from the federal army let out a scream.

Although their vision was disrupted, the marksmanship of the Zeon side was not bad. Several Federation soldiers were shot, some fell to the ground and their lives were unknown, while others were able to move and were desperately retreating behind the bunker with the help of their teammates.

"There's a gunman in the crowd, spread out and take cover!"

Although they had no combat experience for a long time, daily training enabled these federal soldiers to react quickly. The armored vehicles even turned their bodies horizontally, blocking the middle of the road, to cover the federal army in rescuing the wounded.

"They can't do it anymore, charge!"

Seeing the Federation Army in such chaos, the Zeon civilians immediately howled and prepared to rush forward to beat the downed dog. The armored vehicle's water cannon tried its best to stop it but was unable to stop it. The Federation commander could only desperately call for support, but what no one expected was that just as the civilians rushed onto the vehicle, there was another loud noise behind them, followed by a flash of fire, and a dazzling light popped out from the front of the armored vehicle that was firing the water cannon. Then, the entire armored vehicle began to burn, and several Federation soldiers screamed and rolled off the vehicle in embarrassment with flames on their bodies.

"Bazooka?"

The Zeon civilians were also dumbfounded because the armored vehicles were destroyed and some of them were injured, all of whom were very close to the dealer.

"Who did it!"

The civilians turned around to see several figures fleeing in haste. Their enthusiasm was completely extinguished by the sudden explosion, and some sober Zeons ran straight home. The remaining Federation troops, after trying their best to treat the wounded, could only hurriedly board the second armored vehicle and retreat. However, they were surprised to see another rocket roaring towards them as they passed an intersection.

"Sir, we are being attacked from all sides. The attackers are equipped with automatic weapons and anti-tank fire, and they don't care that we are mixed in with civilians!"

"The Zabi family is so cruel!"

Eugen frowned. He had already established a command center and a temporary base of operations in the spaceport of Zim City. At this moment, dense red x marks appeared on the holographic electronic map in front of him. These were the places where the federal army encountered attacks. The federal army that went to various places to suppress the attacks was like entering a maze. They were attacked everywhere and suffered heavy losses.

The attackers did not care about the losses on both sides. They would even take the initiative to choose places with a lot of people so that they could use the crowds as cover and shields to attack the Federation Army at will. Their attack methods were even more varied. In addition to the conventional cold gun sniping, there were also anti-tank missiles. The most disgusting thing was the explosive devices made by the Zeon engineers.

These large bombs developed for asteroid mining operations are small in size and easy to carry. The members of the Führer's Guard will put them in backpacks and throw them at the faces of the Federal Army from a distance. The explosive power can directly blow up an armored vehicle. The main casualties of the Federal Army are caused by this thing.

"Withdraw our men and get the infantry fighting vehicles and tanks ready for action!"

Seeing all kinds of voices humming in the radio channel, Eugen finally gave the order he least wanted to give.

"Old buddy, you better think it through. It's hard to explain to the parliament. We have to consult the Space Force Command first!"

The deputy commander standing by looked conflicted. Although the Federal Parliament had issued an order to suppress the movement, there was no explanation of the specific details. This meant that if anyone was held accountable for this action later, the blame would be placed on Eugen!

"I won't ask for instructions. I don't have time for that. My men are bleeding and sacrificing themselves. If someone needs to be held accountable, let him ask. Our old boss is not just sitting there doing nothing!"

"I understand. Then I'll go all out!"

The deputy commander threw his wide-brimmed hat onto the table, then picked up his tank helmet from the side.

"Today we're going to give these damned Zeon bastards a good fight!"
