Gundam: From Piece to Player

It was completely blasted apart in seconds, and the area beneath it was subsequently destroyed, with the head monitor being completely destroyed.

Karma retracted her earlier statement; this wildebeest could no longer be considered a simple wildebeest, its interior had been drastically altered beyond recognition.

Without the head monitor, the headless GM's ability to suppress the beam saber and judge its location was significantly affected.

Wildebeest simply tilted his arm slightly to find the perfect angle for the beam saber to slide down, slid it along the hilt of the opponent's beam saber, and sliced ​​off the hilt of the Riot GM beam saber along with the entire hand.

Riot-controlling Jim wanted to pounce on him again.

The wildebeest surprisingly abandoned its beam saber, grabbed the opponent's arms with both hands, and then used its shoulders for leverage.

The riot control Jim did a somersault in the air and crashed heavily to the ground, completely unable to move.

Did I accidentally transport myself into Mobile Fighter by performing an over-the-shoulder throw using a mobile suit?

Throwing techniques in martial arts use the opponent's own gravity to inflict damage, making them one of the most lethal moves.

The same applies to mobile suits; even if the exterior is made of Gundam Nim alloy, the internal parts cannot withstand such an impact.

How do you press buttons and operate to perform this move... Even with presets, it would be difficult to complete motion capture and judgment, right?

In the riot control GM, Hiroshi Uraki's pupils lost focus; the massive impact in a short time caused a concussion in his brain, yet his hands still gripped the joystick tightly.

[They're still alive? They seem quite robust, and their fighting spirit is good too.]

Uraki Hiroshi heard someone say this in his head, but his consciousness completely dissipated and he lost consciousness.

After the Federation MS forces were wiped out.

Wildebeest continued firing in the Federation camp, seemingly with X-ray vision, clearing out anti-MS special forces squads, anti-aircraft vehicles, and the like.

This is similar to how, in the original work, the Type 78 and Isamu Kajima single-handedly destroyed a Zeon base.

The most critical issue is that the other side seems to be specifically targeting the "officers" of the Space Marines... and frontline junior officers are often the key to reorganizing the situation.

Once these officers are all killed, no matter how perfect the battle plans the colonels and generals come up with, no one will carry them out.

When resistance could no longer be organized within the Federation's camp, the Wildebeest sent out a signal flare.

"Kill them!"

"Kill the federal dogs."

A dense mob of armed rioters, armed with automatic rifles and wearing helmets, also rushed into the camp, emboldened by their perceived superiority.

The Marines were not on the verge of collapse, but they lost the courage to confront the enemy head-on. Although the mob was just a rabble, they couldn't withstand the 18-meter-tall wildebeest standing there waiting for them.

The tide has turned against us.

Instead of continuing to confront the mob head-on, Gedi ordered the Marine Corps officers to destroy all the heavy weapons on the spot.

They carried as much supply and rations as possible to sustain combat operations, and led the Marines in a fighting retreat into the outer layer of satellite 30.

Meanwhile, the transport ship in the port sent a final signal toward Loum before self-destructing.

[The Emergency Mobile Force has lost its last stronghold within the colony and has retreated to the outer perimeter to lie in wait. Colony 30 has completely fallen, and militants have gained full control of the city. Command is requested to consider whether to take final action.]

When the signal was transmitted back to Federal Headquarters, it triggered another violent tremor... We still need a countermeasure for this situation.

"In this situation, we can't suppress them, the army can't get in, and there are large MAs with unknown combat capabilities on the periphery. Wasting our combat power is meaningless and will only become a bottomless pit in the end," Jamitov said.

"Damitov, do you mean with a nuclear bomb?"

“A nuclear missile launch could fail, and it would be easy to leave evidence,” Jamitov analyzed coldly. “We can use a solar focusing system. We can use the excuse that an external force that invaded Colony 30 overloaded the colony’s artificial sun and triggered a nuclear detonation.”

Chapter 265 Microwave Weapons

"Are you crazy? Colony 30 contains tens of millions of innocent people in addition to the mob."

“Lieutenant General Gao Yun,” Jamitov retorted without backing down, “I also know there are several thousand soldiers inside… but if the situation escalates again and develops into an incident like a corporate rebellion, it will deal another heavy blow to the Federation’s already precarious prestige.”

“We need a low-cost, yet deterrent, way to deal with this.”

“Djamitov, I think you have lost your qualifications as a soldier of the Federation Army,” Gao Yun said. “You have completely lost your humanity.”

“Gao Yun, be careful what you say,” Collini reminded him from the side. Clearly, the Chief of Staff had not at least rejected Jamitov’s plan.

Faced with the Chief of the General Staff, who was far superior to him, Gao Yun had no choice but to seek help from Tiam, who was sitting at the head of the long table.

“MAP-type weapons will also leave traces once they are used.” Tiam’s tone was calm. “There are Federation citizens in Colony 30, and citizens also have relatives. If this is done, the situation will be exposed, and then the Federation government will have no room to maneuver.”

In the original timeline, a rebellion also broke out in Colony 30 of Side 1. In response to the rebellion, the (original) Titans used poison gas, but at the same time, they took the blame for the Federation government.

If it weren't for the Titans, would the Confederate rebellion in Colony 30 have been left unchecked?

No, it will definitely be suppressed... just like the Federal Emergency Mobile Force did. From the perspective of maintaining power, it is definitely necessary to carry out suppression.

The only variable is the hateful "external" forces.

"Commander, do you mean we should still send troops to deal with this?"

Kim Colliny looked at Tiam, and faced with this Chief of the General Staff who was subtly independent and had his own ideas, the two could no longer tolerate each other and unite against a common enemy as they had during the One Year War.

They went from being comrades-in-arms to political enemies.

"I gathered intelligence before I came. The enemy is a 'pseudo-pirate' and has high-tech weaponry that cannot be declassified at present. I will send the 13th Independent Unit."

13th Independent Unit?

The generals couldn't help but think of the White Horse Corps from the One Year War.

“I have appointed Dr. Tim Ray as an advisor for this special operation, and I will personally lead the team to oversee the operation,” Tianm said.

"Commander, you mustn't." Gao Yun was stunned upon hearing this.

“I think it would be better to reconsider the idea of ​​using solar weapons,” Jamitov said. “General, you should not venture into dangerous territory lightly; you are far too important to the Federation.”

Tiam saved the world during the One Year War and prevented the colonies from falling; his importance may have been greater than he realized.

“My mind is made up,” Tiam said. “I will be in direct command of this operation, and I will be aboard the Federation’s new generation Laffey II destroyer. It’s an auspicious name and has good survivability.”

During the One Year War, Tiam used that Laffey-class destroyer to command battles, and there were indeed successful cases of counter-decapitation strikes.

Kalma Zabi's "The One Year War: A True Account" is a banned book under federal government.

However, it is of great value as material for war history research, and several of its combat records have been directly selected into the textbooks of the Federal Army Command Department.

Why do we say he is highly credible?

Because this biography of the Black Federation also covers the Principality of Black Zeon, it highlights the brilliance and prowess of Karma Zabi.

For example, the Zabi family's Dozru was piloting the Great Zam and wanted to carry out a decapitation strike against the command headquarters of Tiam. The Federation Army only found out after reading this book—they knew that Dozru had died in Solomon, but they were not clear about the specific manner of his death.

...At Tiam's insistence, the Federation eventually abandoned the use of the solar radiation system and instead considered having the 13th Independent Force break through the blockade imposed by the unidentified forces.

Back on the Laffey II, as the Federation commander, he still needed to understand the key aspects of the mission.

Regarding the two executors—after the hangar was expanded, the Laffey II could carry two mobile suits, which naturally meant two Gaplan modified models.

Both pilots are enhanced humans who have demonstrated their abilities in recent conflicts with pseudo-pirates.

One of them is Ingrid Zero, General Gap's adopted daughter and a former enhanced human from the Flanagan Organization. It's hard to say what General Gap's attitude towards her is that he actually agreed to let her participate in this kind of operation.

Another is Du Murasame, who appeared to have suffered a serious injury some time ago, but whose recovery speed far exceeded expectations. Perhaps because he had been injured before, his tolerance is even higher than before.

Her mecha, Gaplan TR5, also underwent another upgrade attempt.

Compared to the previous mecha, the new mecha has been adjusted based on previous combat data.

The shield thrusters performed poorly in ACE battles.

This time, the mobile suit retains the original movable shield wings, and the head has been modified to a "Gundam" head-shaped sensor unit according to the actual combat needs. A large monocular sensor has also been added to enhance its performance in sniping battles. The hand weapons are now the Mega Particle Cannon, which is more powerful than the long-bladed rifle, further enhancing its firepower. Compared to the MA form, this form is more flexible and has performed extremely well in tests.

(Gapland TR-5 Helio)

In order to avoid a repeat of the mental attack they suffered last time, Du and Ingrid will wear special helmets. These special helmets will not block the release of brainwaves from the inside out, but the brainwaves transmitted back need to conform to a special waveform to be transmitted back.

Of course, this does not mean that the problem has been perfectly solved. According to feedback from the Murasame Research Institute, this helmet is still not 100% immune to the kind of attack that Du suffered. It can only mitigate the damage, because the brainwave attack at that time was more like a pressurized energy ball - which itself had considerable impact.

"General, Lieutenant Du reporting for duty."

"General, Ingrid Zero reporting for duty."

Tianm looked at the two little girls standing in the line in the gnauk.

Tim Ray was also standing to one side.

Tianm found it absurd. Had the Federation's talent pool dwindled to such an extent that it needed to rely on underage enhanced human girls to save it?

"I'll leave the battle to you two." Tianm returned the greeting to the two men, while looking at Tim Ray.

"Doctor, based on the transmitted images, have you analyzed the enemy MS's attack methods?"

"..." Tim Ray pondered for a moment, then asked a strange question: "General, do you have a microwave oven at home?"

“Yes,” Tianm replied.

Have you ever tried putting stainless steel or other metals in the microwave?

Tianm immediately pictured the sparks flying when the stainless steel container was placed inside.

"Doctor, do you mean microwave weapons?"

"Yes, this is a weapon that appeared in the old century. It can use microwaves to drastically increase the molecular temperature inside and outside the target."

Tim Ray stated, "External forces have successfully weaponized it using current technology, while optical stealth technology and the environment of Minovsky particle dispersion have provided the conditions for ambushes."

Chapter 266 You from Another World

Is there a way to crack this?

Tianm asked what was probably a layman's usual question.

"Just avoid being exposed to the radiation and maintain high-speed movement. I have installed microwave sensors on both Gaplan units, which can immediately issue an early warning the moment microwave radiation is detected."

Compared to Tim Ray, who could uncover the truth about weapons simply by watching videos.

Kalmar was a little less accurate, but also more precise—he successfully analyzed the situation by having a small, launched drone attach itself to the wreckage of the riot control GM.

"Oh, I see. So all we have to do is keep moving at high speed, right?" Karma slapped her thigh and laughed.

"Brother, I think you shouldn't underestimate them. Judging from the video, the riot control GMs were all in motion at the time, but they still lost 6 of them."
