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

Chapter 53 Total Loss!

In the end, under the subtle gazes of everyone, Char chose to surrender. Moreover, when the disarmed Char and others saw Karma, the latter couldn't wait to step forward and give Char a hug, and the atmosphere became even weirder!

"I'm so glad you're all okay!"

"I'm so sorry, Karma, I've ruined everyone!"

"What are you talking about? This is my responsibility!"

Karma looked at Char's uncomfortable and aggrieved expression, thinking that he was blaming himself, and then hurriedly spoke.

"As your commander, the responsibility for failure lies with me, so Char, please stop talking!"

Karma then sighed and continued.

"I don't know how to face Dozle-nii next!"

If Macharius were here, he would comfort Kalma and tell him not to worry because his brother would be back in the cell soon to reunite with him.

"Commander, the Red Dragon team has all returned!"

After dealing with Char, Macharius immediately arranged for his men to go for supplies. After all, the combat status had not been lifted yet. The Red Dragon Team had consumed nearly two-thirds of its ammunition reserves in the previous battle. If there was any more fighting later, it would be too late.

Fortunately, they don’t have to carry the shells themselves this time. The maintenance department has specially assigned personnel to provide them with support, so the tank soldiers can sit down and have a drink of water now.

Macharius rushed to Jodl's headquarters to report and prepare to receive new orders.

"You came just in time!"

"Commander Eugen has transferred all the armored forces. So, apart from the vehicles that are still under repair, your team is the only available armored force I have!"

"So, there's a new mission?"

"Yes, although the Zeon cadet force that will attack the base has been established, the enemies in the spaceport are still resisting stubbornly and have even occupied some facilities!"

"So, do you want us to go out?"

"What are you going to do?"

Yodel rolled his eyes. Why did this guy like to blow everything up? How could he just fire randomly in the spaceport? If he blew up something or made a hole, everyone would be turned into cosmic dust.

"I'll let John Miller take people to deal with it. Your target is this!"

Yodel opened a new electronic map. Macharius recognized the leading building at a glance. It was the flashy office building of the Zeon Military Academy!
"I'll have Lieutenant Kahn take a company and the guys from the intelligence squadron to work with you to take this place, disarm them, and gather everyone together for custody!"

"What if we encounter resistance?"

"Resolutely suppress!"

"understand!"

After finishing his work, Yodel seemed to be worried that Macharius would really fire indiscriminately, and couldn't help but emphasize it.

"Well, let's try to avoid bloodshed. After all, there are only a few students left there. Also, Dozlezabi must be kept alive!"

"understand!"

"I'll give you ten more minutes to rest. Go eat something, drink something, and wash your face!"

Macharius saluted and left the headquarters. He was not actually very tired, but he was a little thirsty. Although there was air conditioning in the tank, the smoke and fire after firing were still inevitable.

When they returned to the Red Dragon team, the tank had already been resupplied. The maintenance personnel were surrounding Red Dragon No. 1, discussing how to deal with the tank's scarred appearance. After all, Red Dragon No. 1 was in a very miserable state at the moment.

The composite armor on the front was fine, with only a few dozen scratches, all caused by the automatic cannons of the Zeon armored vehicles, but the turret was in a terrible state, densely packed with various bullet holes and small pits, the sighting equipment also had cracks, and even the storage baskets on the left and right sides were missing, leaving only a few dangling steel bars shaking there.

"These craters are easy to fix, we can just patch them up for you, but the sighting equipment needs a major overhaul!"

"It's okay. There shouldn't be any more battles later. No need to rush to repair it. We can do a major overhaul and maintenance after it's over!"

Macharius patted his Red Dragon No. 61, not knowing how much longer he could drive it. The Type was a good tank, but unfortunately, it had no place in this era.

After a brief rest, eating some rations and drinking a few sips of cold water, Macharius returned to his old position with his tank helmet. However, he did not completely retreat into the fighting compartment, but left half of his body exposed outside the turret. He liked to watch the tank under him move forward in this way.

Of course, when fighting, it is better to get into the combat cabin!
After joining up with Lieutenant Kahn's infantry unit, the assault force, led by the battle-scarred Red Dragon No. 1, launched an assault on the Zeon Military Academy.

At this time, the lights in the Zeon Military Academy were on. The news that Karma had led all the fourth-year graduates and most of the third-year graduates to go alone had spread to all the dormitories. In order to suppress the excited junior students, Dozle could only let the remaining faculty and a few military police drive all the remaining people to the auditorium to sleep on the floor.

He even put on a military uniform himself and stood at the entrance of the auditorium as a door god to prevent the teaching staff from being unable to control the students.

When his gorilla-like body blocked the door, the auditorium immediately became quiet, and the students who were whispering in their quilts just now buried their heads in their sleeping bags.

"Alas, they are all troublesome guys!"

Dozle sighed as he sat on the chair, supporting his head with one hand and staring blankly at the ceiling below him.

Then, a cup of steaming tea was brought to him.

"Sir, please use it!"

"Why didn't you go to bed?"

Looking at Sena, who was standing beside him and was more dedicated than the guards, Dozle felt even more helpless.

"I'm going to wait for Mr. Karma and the others to come back!"

Sena said firmly.

"And I promised Mr. Karma that I would hold you back!"

"You've already delayed it!"

Dozlu answered even more unhappily, but in his heart, he actually approved of this little girl. Putting aside other things, just because this guy dared to pull out a gun and point it at him in front of him, he had begun to take an interest in this little girl from Side 4 Moore!
"I'm sorry, sir!"

"Okay, there's no need to say any more. Now, let's wait for their good news!"

"Don't worry, they will definitely succeed!"

Speaking of this, Sena became excited. As the eighth-year student, she knew the strength of the students very well. With hundreds of people there, it would be easy to suppress thousands of people from the Federation!

"It's better this way, otherwise..."

When Dozlu thought of his father, his scalp suddenly went numb. Prince Dejin loved his youngest son the most. If anything happened to the other son, he would not be able to explain to his old father!
Just as the two were chatting casually, suddenly, the tea on the table began to ripple, and then even the cup began to tremble slightly.

"A vehicle is approaching!"

"It must be Mr. Karma and the others who are back!"

Thanks to Federation radio interference, all external communications at the Zeon Military Academy were now completely disabled. The only remaining function was the wired telephone connected to the gate in front of Dozle. Dozle then grabbed the phone and asked the sentry at the gate what was going on.

"Yes, Mr. Karma and the others are back!"

At the gate of the military academy, several Zeon soldiers fell to the ground without breathing. The person who answered the phone was Spears, who had arrived in advance with a reconnaissance team. He and several students broke into the gate from the dark, then destroyed the surveillance and sniped the gate guard.

When Dozle called, Spears was a little at a loss, but Macharius and others were still hundreds of meters away, so he had no choice but to answer the call.

At this moment, Dozle's entire attention was focused on Karma, and he didn't even notice that the voice of the sentry at the door didn't match his impression.

"Then make him come to the auditorium immediately!"

Then, Dozle stood up, looked around, kicked his stool to pieces, and removed one of the legs. He was ready to use the thing to spank Karma hard!
At this moment, Macharius's tank had already arrived at the gate of the military academy.

With the roar of the engine, the steel gate that had cost a lot of money to build by hand collapsed, and then the federal tank tracks crushed it into twisted iron sheets.

"Reaper, the gate is open and no resistance is encountered!"

"Got it, then act according to the predetermined plan!"

The armored convoy protected by the tanks immediately accelerated and rushed into the campus. Then, according to the plan made previously, they rushed towards the dormitories, armories, office buildings, etc. in the military academy.

Macharius, along with Spears and a group of intelligence squadron members, headed towards Dozru's residence.

"No, no, this is not our vehicle!"

Because the violent vibrations were getting stronger and stronger, Dozle, who was forced to stay in the auditorium to suppress the students' restlessness, noticed something was wrong, and then his face became extremely ugly.

Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out.

"Damn it, Sena, look at these guys!"

Dozle rushed out of the auditorium after saying that. He heard the shooting of the sentry outside the door, and just as he rushed out, louder gunshots came from not far away. Then, Dozle saw a row of huge bullet holes in the wall in front of him, and the glass doors and windows were shattered by the machine gun fire.

When Dozle got up from the ground and rushed to the gate, he saw the sentry he had posted outside lying in a pool of blood, his body torn apart by 13.2mm caliber machine gun bullets!

The culprit was the federal tank heading towards him!
"Is there anyone else?"

When the federal soldiers sitting on the tank saw people emerging from the building in front of them, they immediately turned the heavy machine gun at the commander's seat and fired, but the tank suddenly stopped, shaking them to and fro, so the shot was not fired.

"No firing!"

Macharius in the combat cabin could see clearly through the periscope that the other party was wearing a general's coat and had a sturdy build. Who else could it be but Dozle?

"Get out of the car, surround him, and don't shoot!"

The other federal troops also recognized Dozle's identity and immediately deployed into battle formation, surrounding the enemy.

"You, you, what have you done to Karma!"

Facing more than a dozen federal soldiers armed with live ammunition, Dozle showed no fear at all, and even walked towards the tank angrily.

"Stop!"

Macharius fired a warning shot into the air, then said.

"Lieutenant General Dozruzabi, you and your cadets have been surrounded by the Federation Army. Please stop resisting immediately!"

"Where's Karma? Is Karma okay?"

"He's fine!"

"That's good, that's good!"

The panic on Dozle's face immediately turned into bitterness. He glanced at the federal soldiers who were slowly approaching in front of him, and then prepared to slowly raise his hands.

"Sir!"

Just when Dozle was about to surrender, Sena's cry came from the side, and then a scene happened that shocked Dozle and the federal army!

A large number of Zeon students rushed over with table legs, baseball bats, and even bare hands, blocking Dozle and confronting the Federation Army.

"Damn it!"

Macharius reacted the fastest. Red Dragon No. 1 directly turned the turret and aimed the two cannons at the crowd in front.

"Drop your weapons and get down on your knees!"

"Hold your head and squat down. Do as he says!"

Dozle was also extremely panicked. With so many students, if any of the Federation soldiers made a mistake, it would really turn into a massacre!
So, he could only struggle to squeeze to the front of the crowd, open his arms like a hen protecting her chicks to block the Zeon students behind him, and loudly order them to do as the Federation Army said.

"Sir! Let's fight them!"

"Yes!"

The Zeon students refused to surrender and started shouting.

"Shut up!"

In order to save the lives of these students, Dozle roared at the top of his lungs.

"I'm the principal, follow my orders!"

Then, he took action himself, snatched the weapons from several people, and threw them in front of the team.

"Execute immediately!"

At this moment, he only felt his face burning. The cadets were his soldiers. Ordering soldiers to lay down their weapons was a shame for any commander, but in order to keep these children alive, he had no choice but to bear this shame!

"You too, keep your guns down. I'm talking to you, you want to die, you bastard!"

Macharius also ordered the federal army to point their guns at the ground, but he did not give up his guard. The tank's gun had been loaded with anti-explosive bombs, and he himself pulled the heavy machine gun and stared at the Zeon trainee in front of him.

With the efforts of both sides, the tense atmosphere finally faded a little. Then, the Zeon students dropped the weapons in their hands on the ground like eggplants hit by frost, and then, like their principal, raised their hands.

"I never thought that we would meet again in this way!"

Dozle looked at Macharius on the tank, with inexplicable emotions flashing in his eyes, including shock, surprise, and a kind of calmness as if he accepted his fate.

"Yes, I never thought that you would become my prisoner, Your Excellency General. It's fate that plays tricks on me. But I'm sorry, I can't salute you this time!"

Macharius, who was leaning against the hatch, tilted his head.
