Gundam: From Piece to Player

Isn't this Brother Yong?

It seems he single-handedly destroyed the Zeon base and defeated Amuro's pilot in a simulation battle?

Karma instinctively wanted to fight.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Misaki, whose face had turned pale from ZUDA's high-speed maneuvering, and he felt a little guilty for focusing too much on the battle.

He directly summoned the Black Twin Stars, which had just acquired two MS-14 Black Warriors, from not far away.

Gaia and Matthew.

After beheading Rebil, they have been following him, including in the upper atmosphere operations. They can be considered a useful "guest force," and now it's time for them to play their role.

"Sir, is there something you need from us?"

"Two specially equipped GMs are coming over. They are Jung, the top-ranked ace pilot in the Federation, and Yu Kajima, ranked fifth. The enemy is about to launch a decapitation strike against us. Can you stop them?"

Matthew immediately perked up upon hearing this, "Yes, of course!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for such a great service to us," Gaia echoed.

"Don't get too excited. Both of them have crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. One is a sniper, and the other has a record of single-handedly destroying a small Zeon base. Don't let them get taken out."

"Yes."

Karma thought to herself that in terms of piloting skills, the Federation's top pilots were better, but in terms of machine performance, the Warrior had the advantage... and in a battle between experts, even a slight difference in performance could be fatal.

Let's see what happens.

Warrior took a deep breath, and the special-edition GM flew out of the city buildings under the throttle, suddenly attacking ZUDA at a right-angle turn.

ZUDA threw a strange, cylindrical, unidentified explosive at him and then quickly retreated.

Yonggang tried to deflect the explosives with his shield, but found that the explosives stuck to the shield like a magnet.

Instinct immediately made him discard the shield.

And that was true; the explosives on the shield detonated and shattered it. When the smoke cleared, ZUDA was nowhere to be found.

Instead, a black warrior drew its twin scimitars and recognized it by the distinctive shoulder banner on the other machine.

"The Black Twin Stars?" Yong said.

Meanwhile, Matthew, the one-eyed man, looked at Jim, who was wearing red goggles and heavy armor, and put away his usual cynical expression.

The outcome of the battle was quickly decided.

—The Black Twin Stars were defeated 3 minutes later.

Two Federation Ace Pilots emerged victorious despite their superior performance, before the Black Twins were turned into "veteran barbecue" by beam sabers.

Karma made her move.

The beam rifle ambushed the ornaments (feet) of two Special Type GMs, resulting in the loss of two partially damaged Special Type GMs.

—If the Black Twins can achieve victory on their own, he will not interfere from beginning to end, thus minimizing his own risks.

If they can't win, the Black Twins will owe him another life-saving favor.

They also captured two important prisoners.

There is no such thing as despicable behavior on the battlefield; the Federation ACE's actions are just like those of the Zeon ACE countless times.

The weaker side seeks to decapitate the enemy's high-ranking commander in order to turn the tide.

—But when the intention is discovered, half the battle is lost.

The decapitation squad, acting as a "one-man show," would be crushed by the enemy commander's mobilization of forces.

After the defeat of two key ACEs who were the backbone of the battlefield, one of the units in the Luna II MS force that was trying to recapture the Luna II was finally crushed.

Haiwen's MS combat squadron, with its mobile suits in better condition, also defeated another group of MS guards.

Meanwhile, Song Ren was still advancing, and he could only follow Alice's instructions to prioritize dealing with the remaining enemy forces left behind by the Federation army.

. .

"General, it's time for us to retreat. The MS forces that have entered have lost signal. Even if we send troops now, we won't be able to recapture Luna II," the staff officer reminded him. "Our war is not over yet. We should take advantage of the enemy fleet's current weakness."

Waken closed his eyes in anguish, realizing that his humiliating defeat today might be recorded in history by the world in the future.

But in the end, his reason prevailed, and he did not continue to send the fleet's MS reserves to attack the fortress.

"Issue the order to retreat."

The Warken Fleet recovered the remaining MS forces and turned towards the Federation-controlled Solomon Fortress.

Although Warken issued a destruction order when he left, the technical staff in charge of the setup had set up an automated program that allowed Alice to successfully intervene using the Luna virus and pause the self-destruct countdown.

And Karma finally captured the Federation headquarters... Luna II.

A day of great significance.

After Alice tallied up Luna II's various circumstances, he could only say that this was the best Christmas gift he had received since his transmigration.

A few days later, his intelligence agent reported that Abaoa had fallen.

It can only be said that Kycilia is as short-sighted as in the original history... If they can hold Abaoa, the backbone of the Federation Space Force will probably be broken.

Karma wouldn't mind putting in a little effort to take down Solomon and turn the Federation Space Force into a "Remnant of the Federation" with no foothold.

The situation is now a bit delicate.

But that's a story for another time. Let's hurry up and open the "gift" and take a look.

Chapter 162 I'm full

What percentage of the Federation's total production capacity does Luna II account for?

The Federation only began mass production of mobile suits after the success of Project V in the original timeline. From September to December, its mobile suit production capacity was able to suppress the number of Zeon units (the MS-06 model began mass production in January, and a total of 3000 units were produced in 12 months).

It is estimated that the Federation's production capacity is at least four times that of Zeon, assuming that the Luna II's MS production capacity accounts for 50% of the total production capacity.

This means that Karma's current military production capacity for a single MS of Luna II is equivalent to twice that of Side 3.

This was his estimate before conquering Luna II. However, after Karma conquered the area, data verification revealed that Luna II's production capacity had actually reached 70%, meaning that Karma now controls 2.8 times, nearly three times, the MS production capacity of Zeon itself.

Despite his lifelong prudence and keen judgment in important matters, Karma inevitably became somewhat arrogant at this moment.

The current Luna II is truly under his control; it does not belong to Zeon, but rather to the 101st Division's "independent kingdom."

In terms of MS technology, they also obtained the long-awaited Luna titanium alloy smelting technology.

There's also the assembly and combination technology... This is one of the technological cornerstones of ZZ Gundam, and Garma hasn't figured out how to use it yet.

Regarding warships, perhaps due to the Federation's pre-war efforts to maximize production capacity, almost all of the ships that could be deployed have been sent out.

There were 14 Salamis-class destroyers, 2 Magellan-class destroyers, 1 Pegasus-class destroyer, and 1 small destroyer that I had never seen before.

—The statistics aren't many; there were only two "Bell Teams" at their peak. (The Unicorn era was their peak, with eight warships).

The technology on the warship was somewhat incomprehensible... Apart from the Mega Particle Cannon technology, which he could only vaguely understand, Karma didn't really understand the others, and this was the area he and his team had ventured into the least.

In terms of nuclear weapons, there are a total of 125 Peacekeeper missiles, 1200 medium-sized nuclear warheads, and 2500 small nuclear warheads.

But for Karma, it's just a large-scale firecracker. The technology behind it isn't even as advanced as the MS Miner. It just looks intimidating, but it can still be used as a bargaining chip.

The above is basically the data on armaments. For more details, we'll have to wait for Alice to continue digging into Luna II's database.

Luna 2 also has multiple mineral veins with abundant mineral resources, and the relevant mining facilities are already in place. In addition, there are various other undiscovered minerals.

The data for the living area is equally encouraging, with a specially designed "rotating gravity zone" containing pathways, "personal rooms," and other living facilities.

Although only 2 soldiers lived here during the One Year War, Alice designed it simply.

If appropriate expansion is carried out (without affecting functionality), the population capacity can reach 4.5 times that of a typical space colony, accommodating 2250 million people.

Even at half price, it would still be 1000 million.

Equivalent to those megacities on Earth.

If Kalmar was previously hesitant about using other asteroids as the capital of the new nation, now there are no objections whatsoever.

His national capital was built on Luna 2 – Juno.

Didn't the Federation move it from the asteroid belt to the Earth's sphere?

He will now move it from the Earth's sphere back to the asteroid belt.

Kalmar felt that if she stayed in the Earth Sphere, she might be bound by Earth's gravity for the rest of her life... The asteroid belt would be much better.

Not to mention being far from Earth, the "gravity" of other planets wouldn't affect him either—he has no intention of building anything like Mars Zeon, Jupiter Zeon, or Saturn Zeon.

He has always believed that the highest form of civilizational evolution should be a "nomadic civilization" that can freely use stellar energy, rather than an "agricultural civilization" that migrates to a habitable planet as soon as it is discovered.

While he was busy with Juno's acceptance of the job, Alice told him about the fall of Abaoa, and a few hours later he received a laser communication from Tianm.

Karma immediately had Alice take the phone. Although this was a very rude act, as the winner, she had to properly humiliate the other party.

In January 0080, the year-long war finally entered a strange stalemate, involving three different Zeons, Side 1-Side 6, the Moon, allied nations, and a host of NPCs.

But the most noteworthy of all is the Second Republic of Zeon located in SIDE3... The Casbar Group launched a "revolution" in January and secretly took control of the strategic weapons in Mahal City.

They split into two groups, one of which, in coordination with Brigadier General Henry's Capital Defense Battalion, launched a three-pronged attack on key facilities such as the Kilian General's Mansion, the radio station, and the weather station. On the night martial law was declared, MS troops engaged in direct combat in the streets.

In the end, it was Char's Newtype forces that completely overwhelmed the elite of the Royal Guard... More than a dozen ACEs were killed, including Eric Mansfield, who was ranked third on the kill list.

After achieving a complete military victory, the police force quickly defected to the Dacanists, and the Dacanist criminals imprisoned in Colony 66 were transformed into law enforcement officers.

At the same time, bounties were issued for individuals from the SS intelligence agency.

The people of SIDE3 also sensed that things were about to change, and they began to report the situation, eliminating the influence of the stormtroopers nationwide through public opinion, and at the same time establishing a temporary militia force.

Char Aznable also dispatched mobile suits to assist him, ostensibly to clear "obstacles to democracy."

In SIDE3, statues of Kilian Zabi in various cities were also dismembered and dragged down... Overnight, local governments and civil servants all became "Daykenists," trying their best to erase the image of the Zabi family.

On January 3, Char sent people to force Prince Dekin to sign an abdication edict, ending the ten-year history of the Principality of Zeon... However, he did not confiscate the villa where Prince Dekin was currently living; it seemed that he was just sending people to "monitor" him.

That afternoon, Prime Minister Darcia also appointed him as the "Wartime Commander-in-Chief" of the Republic of Zeon.

However, no ceremony was held. The Deikun faction originally wanted to persuade Char to at least make a show of it, but they found that their commander-in-chief was nowhere to be found.

In the SIDE3 airspace, Char's flagship, the laser communication room.
