"If Tendou Kikunosho wants to force the Empire to make concessions without starting an all-out war, then he won't have much military power now without the Titans."
"And he won't know that the Imperial Parliament is holding him back, so as long as we throw out enough bait, Tiantong Kikunojo will definitely take the initiative to attack and use those mechas to establish his victory and accumulate prestige with the Empire!"
In other words, if you want Tendo Kikunosuke to reveal the mecha in his hand, you need bait.
Now, the force that Marianna can mobilize to attack on land, apart from the various fighter planes on the aircraft carrier, is only the Marine Corps of less than 4,000 people.
Thinking of this, Mariana's eyes showed a cold color.
"In that case, then give him the bait!"
--------------------------------
That night, the order from Marianna VI. Brittany was issued to the Marines.
With almost no time for preparation, one third of the Marines, a total of more than 1,000 soldiers, had secretly landed outside Yokohama and began to move towards a predetermined coordinate.
Looking at the Marines advancing beside him, as well as the cars and armored vehicles carrying some heavy weapons and equipment, Richard, one of the ordinary soldiers, showed an uneasy look.
"This is too strange."
Richard muttered to himself in a low voice after tidying up his ammunition bag with some uneasiness.
"The enemy's number is unknown, and their status is unknown. We don't have any intelligence other than a coordinate."
"Under such circumstances, we have to launch an attack immediately..."
Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but shook his head.
And this is not what worries Richard the most.
What worried Richard the most was that, judging from the equipment and supply vehicles carried by the Marines, they did not seem to be carrying enough heavy weapons.
This is the most fatal point!
You must know that as the second largest city in the Tokyo area, considering the existence of Shinmei, the Empire's construction of Yokohama has always been mainly based on military ports, supplemented by commercial ports.
This is also an important reason why the Kanagawa fleet chose to stop here after being damaged.
As such an important port city, naturally a large number of military facilities were built nearby to defend the port.
And what they are going to attack at this time, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the military measures occupied by the rebels of Tendo Kikunosho.
This meant that they had to attack a heavily defended military base without heavy weapons support.
"What the hell were those officers thinking? Why did such a blind attack happen... This is too bad!"
Richard thought silently.
And just as if in response to Richard's words, just as Richard was getting closer and closer to the predetermined coordinates and his uneasiness was growing, suddenly several explosions sounded simultaneously in the front and back!
Boom boom! ! !
Along with the explosions, a large number of gunshots also rang out from the surroundings!
——It’s an ambush!!!
Before the marching marines reached the designated location, they were ambushed by the Tendo Kikunosho rebels!
"How can this be!"
"How could they possibly know the Marines' route?"
Richard had never expected to be ambushed and was stunned by the failure of his attack. However, although he hadn't figured out what was going on, his body subconsciously wanted to find cover nearby as he had done in training.
But Richard had just had time to bend down slightly, and before he lay down, he suddenly felt a huge impact coming from his chest, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground on his back.
Then came the intense pain—and the numbness and wetness that spread from my chest!
"I was shot?"
This was Richard's last thought before he lost consciousness in the severe pain.
It wasn't just Richard. Faced with the sudden ambush, many Marines were caught completely unprepared and were hit and lost their combat capability, causing the formation of the entire Marine Corps to become chaotic.
However, thanks to good training, although many Marines had lost their combat capabilities in a large wave of attacks, the Marines still dispersed at this moment, looking for nearby cover and launched a counterattack towards the place where gunfire was heard around them.
For a moment, although they were the ambushed party, the Marines still relied on their better training level and superior weapons and equipment to resist the attacks of the ambushers, bringing the battle to a stalemate.
Faced with the fierce counterattack of the Marines, the ambushers suffered some casualties after a brief stalemate. Just as Marianna predicted, the rebels who were in desperate need of a victory to promote themselves faced the bait that they had been unable to chew - and without hesitation began to use their hidden "weapons of decisive battle"!
Accompanied by several roars, two figures, 5 to 6 meters tall and wrapped in green tarpaulins, stood up in the surrounding dense forest.
"what is that!?"
"Tank... No, that's not right!"
"That's a—a robot?"
Seeing the huge figure standing up, both the ambushing rebels and the Marines were shocked. Even the gunfire from both sides seemed to stop for a moment due to this shock.
But the next moment, the two huge figures trampled on the trees and rushed into the Marines at an extremely fast speed!
"my Lord!"
The Marine soldier sitting on the armored vehicle, shooting at the ambushing rebels with a machine gun, looked up at the steel arm raised high in front of him, which was thicker than his body, and uttered a prayer in a daze.
Then - the huge iron fist hit his head, and then hit the armored vehicle in an exploding meat paste without any hindrance.
--boom!
Amid the roaring flames of the armored vehicle, a Titan mech with its green tarpaulin burning and a bit of its blue body revealed walked out of the flames.
At this moment, unlike Rita's previous sneak attack, this time, the scarlet light of the Titan's one-eyed monster officially appeared in front of everyone, and began to lead the war in this world into a new direction.
Chapter 49: Rogue Warrior and the Return of Morin
After the few remaining firepower points were defeated by the Titans' surprise attack, the Titans had already begun to indiscriminately attack these Marines who lacked heavy weapons.
The unwilling Marines fired bullets at the Titan continuously, but their bullets only left a tiny dot on the Titan's hard and thick armor.
Some soldiers fired anti-tank guns at the Titan, and some even detonated explosives at close range.
But what made them despair was that every time, amidst the fire and explosion, it was the Titan with scarlet eyes who walked out!
These Titans in flames did not use heavy weapons to attack them, nor did they bombard them with huge cannons. The Titans only did one thing, which was to withstand all the firepower, rush to the front of the soldiers, and then use a simple punch to turn these soldiers into mud on the physical level.
Faced with this situation, the Marines quickly collapsed.
Faced with the Titans, a small number of soldiers chose to surrender to the Japanese rebels led by Tendo Kikunosuke.
However, under the leadership of some soldiers who were entrusted with special missions, most of the soldiers, out of loyalty to the Holy Britannian Empire, chose to break through the surrounding areas according to their groupings in small teams, trying to escape from the battlefield... or the two Titans on the battlefield.
Although the Japanese rebels under Tendo Kikunosuke arranged soldiers on both sides and in front and behind the Marines for this ambush, the training and weapons of the Japanese rebels were far inferior to those of the Imperial Marines.
In this situation, when the Marines resumed their best group combat and fled in all directions, the only two Titans could only chase a small number of soldiers, and the remaining Japanese rebel soldiers could only face the Marines who were attacking frantically for survival alone.
Therefore, a considerable number of soldiers broke through the blockade of the Japanese rebellion and successfully began to flee towards the location where the warships would pick them up.
——But so what?
The Japanese rebels didn't care at all about the few soldiers who ran away. Instead, after the battle, they immediately rushed to the battlefield and cheered around the Titan whose hands and even his body were covered in blood.
"Titan! Victory!"
"——The Republic of Japan! Victory!!"
"——Governor Tendo Kikunosho! Victory!!!"
They surrounded the Titan and kept shouting, as if they were fanatics facing a god.
...or for these ordinary soldiers who have witnessed the power of the Titans on the battlefield, the Titans are the gods who can save them.
The surrendered and captured soldiers looked in horror at the five or six meter tall mecha giants and the fanatical Japanese rebels around them, praying for their future fate.
But what they didn't see was that high in the sky, several planes that had been watching their comrades die indifferently and had no support were witnessing all this.
And it's not just the planes. Outside the encirclement of the Japanese rebels, there are several different people lurking around, recording everything that happens on the battlefield.
-----------------------------------------------
Soon, before the sky was completely bright and the sun had just broken, a report of the latest intelligence from various sources had been delivered to Marianna vi Brittany.
Marianna looked down at the few pages of information in her hand.
The first page was filled with the casualties of the soldiers... When she saw this page, Marianna turned it over indifferently.
She doesn't want casualty figures, she just wants the specific information about the mecha.
And the second page after turning to the casualties was the mecha information she needed.
The second page begins with several different photos. There are photos taken from the sky showing mechas walking out of the flames of an exploding armored vehicle. There are also photos of mechas charging with heavy machine guns and anti-tank rocket launchers at close range. There are even more photos taken from a distance showing mechas breaking through the soldiers' defenses and completely defeating them.
"Only two mechas were brought out this time?"
Mariana flipped through the intelligence in her hands and whispered to herself, "Hmm... less than I expected. It seems that although it has been mass-produced, the number of mechas in Tendou Kikunosho's hands should not be too many."
"Considering the military bases that Tendo Kikunosho controls now, each military base should have at least one mecha... So, the number of mechas he has should be around 10?"
After that, Mariana looked down at the information in her hand again.
According to the analysis of the General Staff, this unknown mecha from Area 31, codenamed "Rogue" by the General Staff, has a higher level of protection than the Empire's mainstream tank T200-New Pershing based on its performance against anti-tank rocket launchers, and its armor thickness is at least over MM.
200MM armor is enough to ignore almost all the heavy weapons equipped by the Imperial Army.
Moreover, judging from the opponent's movement speed and sensitivity, it is extremely difficult to be hit by heavy weapons. Tanks with slow reactions will undoubtedly be defeated when facing such an enemy.
Given the current situation of the Empire in Area 11, it is probably only possible to defeat the mecha codenamed Rogue by overwhelming it with bombers at all costs, or by directly bombing with a fleet.
"... With this kind of performance on the battlefield, the code name given to him by the General Staff is really not wrong at all. He is truly a 'rogue soldier' through and through."
After saying that, Mariana threw down the information in her hand and sneered.
"According to this performance, the capabilities of this Rogue mecha are already higher than those of the Empire's experimental mecha Ganymede."
"What a horrible thing... Is this what gives you the confidence to betray the empire, Tendou Kikunosuke?"
Thinking of this, Mariana's eyes became more profound.
She was sure that in today's world, the Empire was always at the forefront of research on KM mechas.
This kind of rogue mecha, which is beyond the current era, is definitely not something that District 11, or even Xinming or the European Union can produce.
"Sure enough, the one standing behind you is the aerial battleship that bombarded the ocean that day?"
Mariana gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
"Damn it...what the hell is it? What does it want to do?"
Faced with this unknown force that displayed extremely powerful military force and interfered with the existence of the empire's colonies, even Princess Marianna, the general who had personally conquered several colonies, became a little uneasy.
But soon, Marianna calmed down.
No matter what this existence's plans are, whether it is an alien or a person from the future.
She - Marianna VI Brittania did only one thing - that was to fight to the last moment at any cost for the empire and for Charles zi 乬 Brittania!
-------------------------------------------
When the sun rose as usual and it was completely light, when the citizens of District 11 woke up from the quiet night, they heard a shocking message from the radio and television.
——An army of the Empire attempted to attack the Japanese National Salvation Army led by Governor-General Tendo Kikunosho, but was defeated by the Japanese National Salvation Army led by Governor-General Tendo Kikunosho himself!
At the beginning, many people just regarded this as propaganda from the Japanese National Salvation Army. Most of them just attacked some small groups of imperial soldiers and then boasted about it as a great victory.
After all, exaggeration is a common phenomenon in all areas of District 11.
Therefore, for a while, the Japanese National Salvation Army received a lot of criticism from people from all walks of life, who believed that it only knew how to talk big but not do anything practical.
However, when a large number of Imperial Army prisoners and numerous captured weapons appeared on television programs, and photos of Imperial Army soldiers being defeated and escaping were leaked in various illegal tabloids, the people of District 11 and ordinary Imperial Army personnel were shocked to find that most of the propaganda of the Japanese National Salvation Army was true.
——According to the photos that were circulated, at least a battalion of thousands of imperial soldiers were defeated by the Japanese National Salvation Army!
When people discovered that the Japanese National Salvation Army seemed to be really capable of competing with the Imperial Army, all previous criticisms turned into praise in an instant.
In particular, supporters of the East Camp Rescue Army began retaliatory propaganda and counterattacks.
Therefore, the news of the victory of the Japanese rebels or the Japanese National Salvation Army instantly spread to the entire 11th District with Yokohama, the current political center of the 11th District, as the center.
It even spread to the few rebels in other colonies who were also rebelling against the empire, causing a small ripple in the world.
In some remote areas of District 11, just as Marianna had expected at the beginning, some spontaneous small-scale rebellions began to occur.
But in the face of all this, Marianna, who should have been there to suppress the people in District 11, remained silent and watched it all happen indifferently.
Faced with Mariana's disregard, the military forces in District 11 that had not expressed their stance began to make some unusual moves.
