Gundam: From Piece to Player

He looks like a veteran, and with his new human abilities, he might be more reliable than we think.

"This is Lieutenant Ruloy Killian; he just graduated from school."

"General, I wanted to be a painter when I was in junior high school. Later, I studied gymnastics at a sports school for five years. Then I joined the army because of the conscription order. I am very interested in sculpture."

This "multi-talented" young man seemed out of place among the soldiers.

For some reason... it reminded Char of Amuro Ray—the young man who rode the Gundam.

Xia Ya guessed that the evaluation criteria for this unit was probably brainwave screening.

There is no inherent tendency.

A double agent, a woman, a veteran, an art student—it's quite diverse.

"Are there any others who haven't arrived yet? Lieutenant Colonel Garcia?"

"No, all personnel of the New Human Force have arrived."

"So, including me, the Newtype force that Lady Kycilia mentioned only has 5 people in total?"

"No, there's a sixth person. Miss Lala, who's coming soon, is also a new human, which will instantly increase our team's strength by 20%."

Charia said this half-jokingly, and the new humans all laughed.

"Is it funny?"

Char's tone was somewhat cold, making the Newtypes realize that this important figure might not be so easy to talk to.

"Actually, there was a seventh person, but Lieutenant Marian went to Earth with Dr. Kalster and joined Lord Kalmar's team. Their research direction is completely opposite to the application of new humans by the Flanagan Organization. Of course, the funding is also provided solely by Lord Kalmar."

"Lieutenant Colonel Garcia said."

You don't need to tell me; I know it better than you do.

Char hesitated for a moment, then asked Garcia, "Is the selection pool based on active duty and reserve personnel?"

“Yes,” Garcia said. “Through some technical means, we can detect the weak brain waves released by the human brain in communication equipment. Throughout the entire army, including the 300 million eligible reservists, we found that the brain wave abilities of 5 people can reach the A level.”

"That is to say, one new human being can be born for every 60 people."

Xia did a quick mental calculation.

If this sample were used for a nationwide screening, approximately 2500 new humans could be found across the country. (Zeon's total population is 1.5 million.)

“Naturally born new humans are very rare… We are researching ways to make ordinary soldiers actively evolve into new humans.”

Xia remained silent after hearing this.

I never imagined that the new humans my father predicted would be so rare...

Given the Federation's advantage in population, they could select more new humans... if they had enough funds and were determined to conduct a brainwave screening of the entire population within their borders.

These are topics for the future.

After Char tested the combat effectiveness of the Newtype forces, he stopped mentioning the issue of their small numbers—it was time for a real battle.

A few days later, he found a very suitable opportunity.

Unknown airspace outside Solomon.

Two Zanzibar ships were sailing side by side in space, their tracks just discovered by a patrol fleet on the outskirts of the Federation.

—The two Zanzibar ships turned on their interior lights, like two anglerfish with their headlights on.

Rather than being discovered, it's more accurate to say they're seeking a battle.

One of them is the Marine Corps' flagship, the Lulu Marenlily Maren, which has obviously received more upgrades compared to Char's flagship.

MS have all been replaced with the 14 Warriors series... Thinking of his experience piloting the 06 Zaku in the Space Force, Char felt a little annoyed.

"Colonel Sima, although you claim to be an abandoned, marginalized force, why are you always the first to be issued new equipment and new warships?"

"Char said."

"Brigadier General, do you have a problem with our treatment?"

Char didn't answer; that was exactly what he meant.

"Because our Marhari are not only fighting against the Federal Army... Lady Kycilia also has us engage in some battles that are inconvenient for regular troops to participate in, which actually places higher demands on our weaponry," Sima said with a wry smile.

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Char had already vaguely guessed that the target included so-called "one of their own," that is, those who served as military police.

Judging from their identities, they are not the only military police force. If Kycilia finds them an eyesore, they might become the targets of "elimination."

— Kycilia is completely insane.

They clearly don't have many combat troops under their command, yet they still try to create a system of checks and balances.

Char wasn't very confident in his management skills to begin with.

But seeing how Kycilia manages things also gives me confidence.

The 31-year-old female colonel looked at the red comet:

"Of course, our contributions can't compare to yours. In the next battle, will your side or mine go first?"

"We, Lieutenant Colonel, you should also witness the strength of our New Human Force."

"Then I'll wait and see."

The Federation patrol fleet, consisting of three Salamis-class destroyers, continues to approach, and the Salamis has already begun launching GMs...

They just chose the wrong target.

Char's Newtype forces launched attacks one after another.

Three Warriors with strange antennas act as forwards, one Elmes and one Brau Bro act as guards.

Just as Jim's squadron was approaching the combat zone.

The yellow beam of light pierced their torsos precisely.

One, two, three.

These Jims could only wield beam pistols, futilely firing back at enemies beyond their range.

However, every enemy attack was fatal; not a single shot missed its mark…

Because they were not facing ordinary warriors, but warriors equipped with the Psycommu experimental sniper system, which could snipe enemies from 10 kilometers away (Jim's detection range is 6 kilometers).

Char glanced at Sima, who was staring in disbelief, out of the corner of his eye.

Are they all aces?

“No, the one among them who can operate a mobile suit has only been doing so for three weeks,” Xia said.

As she finished speaking, Lala's Almes drone had already reached within 3 kilometers of the patrol fleet... a much greater distance than the Zaku's drones.

A beam of light was poured into the nuclear thrusters at the stern of the warship, tearing apart the three Salamis-class ships that the enemy couldn't even find... and they exploded.

The battle is over.

"The three Salamis-class destroyers were destroyed just like that..."

Sima, who had been so arrogant just moments before, broke out in a cold sweat.

Complete range suppression, just like a sniper rifle against a pistol, the outcome of the battle was never in doubt.

While destroying this patrol fleet wouldn't be particularly difficult for Sima's marines, the effort and risks involved would be considerable.

Judging from Char's expression, this is not their limit yet.

If this battle were to take place 100 times, wouldn't all 300 warships of the Tiam fleet be wiped out?

In fact, Char was just pretending to be calm.

He was suppressing his joy.

This combat exercise also included the idea of ​​using the Newtype forces to intimidate Sima.

However, I never expected the effect to be this good.

Use the Newtype units to fight against the Federation's regular forces.

It's as easy as crushing an ant.

Char couldn't help but think... even Karma couldn't stop him.

Chapter 151 Time Waits for No One

Is there any force in the current solar system that can rival the new human force I have?

As the rearguard, piloting the Brau Bro to protect Elmes, Sharia listened to the various voices coming from her mind.

I thought to myself, "This is great, I can go home without having to do anything."

The operation went smoothly, and I was able to watch as a spectator, but unfortunately there was a small argument within the team.

Because the new human brain has the ability to receive and release brainwaves, they can "communicate" remotely even without radio.

Furthermore, it is unaffected by Minovsky particles.

"Why wasn't I the one to drive the Larmes? Does the Brigadier General like that woman?"

Kusko has started making trouble again.

“Don’t rush, Miss Elle,” Ruloy said. “Isn’t your Larmes still undergoing adjustments? The Brigadier General said you’d be piloting it.”

"Then I should drive a Braubro too, isn't there another one?"

"Everyone's playing as a defender, so who's going to play as a midfielder?"

The experienced Krambo said, "You should really take a look at Lord Karma's 'MS Combat Manual,' which explains the tactics and techniques of MS combat, including ranged combat, close combat, one-on-one, multiple-on-one, and one-on-many strategies. It is perfectly suited to our current combat situation against Federation MS."

"I won't look, I won't look," Kusko said. "I can resolve this battle with my abilities, can't I?"

"Humph."

Crambo remained silent, but that didn't mean he agreed with Kusko's words.

This woman was clearly not well-educated. If it weren't for this war, she would probably only be able to do factory work like tightening screws. The awakening of new human abilities really doesn't discriminate... it actually awakened in a stupid woman.

“Reading is still necessary, Miss El.” Ruloy clearly had more affection for Kusko. “It can improve the survival rate. If you find reading difficult, I can read to you.”

"Senior Crambo, you have books you could share with everyone."
