Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 861 Press conference, completely open!

At the Presidential Palace of the 25th Ship Group, there were countless reporters crowded in the large conference room. Except for the long table in front, there was still extra space. The reporters were so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to put their feet.

They received an invitation from the Presidential Palace to attend this press conference, saying that there was something very important to be announced. Since there was not much breaking news in the 25th Ship Group, they naturally swarmed in like sharks smelling the smell of blood.

"Commander Yang Hui." In the lounge next to the conference room, Howard Glass stood up to greet Yang Hui's arrival.

"President Glass." Yang Hui was a little surprised. Leon Mishima, who had disappeared from Howard Glass for a while, was back. He still had a disgusting mushroom head and a hypocritical smile. However, Yang Hui keenly discovered that he His eyes contained gloom and resentment that concealed his body.

"Are you ready for the military exercise?" Howard Glass asked after shaking hands with Yang Hui. There are three most important things in the press conference later. One is to disclose the existence of Vajra, and the other is to announce Yang Hui and others. The real identities and announcement of their positions, and finally the live broadcast of the large-scale military exercise. In order to create a more enthusiastic atmosphere, Howard Glass planned to watch the entire military exercise with Yang Hui in the conference room, and at the same time, Ask Yang Hui to be responsible for the on-site explanation.

"Both sides are ready and can start at any time." Yang Hui nodded, smiling secretly in his heart. He was looking forward to Howard Glass later seeing how the coalition forces of the New United Army and SMS Company were defeated by the two teams of the Promethean Legion. What's the expression after the explosion?

"Then let's go, Commander Yang Hui, are you ready to face the public's doubts?"

"I trust the citizens of the 25th Fleet."

"Hahaha, let's go then!"

"Please."

Yang Hui and Howard Glass pushed open the door of the lounge together, walked into the conference room facing the dazzling flash lights, and sat down in the arranged seats.

"Who is that?"

"The military uniform he is wearing...has the rank of general! Such a young general!?"

"You are really young and handsome!"

"Stop being a nymphomaniac and take pictures quickly!"

The reporters kept clicking their shutters while thinking about the questions they would ask later. The focus must be on Yang Hui's identity.

As Yang Hui and Howard Glass took their seats, Wang Liumei and Leon Mishima stood behind them respectively, the press conference officially began.

First, Vajra's intelligence was announced by Howard Glass.

"...Maybe someone still remembers it? Yes, this is the biological weapon that attacked Frontier last time. We call this creature Vajra..."

As Howard Glass was revealed, the 25th Fleet's LED billboards, TVs, computers, and PADs all played the recorded footage of the last battle.

Seeing Vajra wreaking havoc on the island, destroying battleships, and shooting down fighter planes, everyone in the 25th Fleet was so frightened that they covered their mouths.

"...But don't worry, Frontier has powerful allies to protect you. Let me introduce it to you..." After saying that, Howard Glass turned to look at Yang Hui, and stretched out his hand to introduce to the citizens, "... Commander-in-chief of the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet, His Excellency Yang Hui, under the leadership of His Excellency Yang Hui, and with the joint efforts of countless compatriots, the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet successfully rendezvoused with Frontier and joined Frontier..."

"The surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet!? Doesn't that mean..."

"How could this happen!? Could it be Vajra too..."    "So young! You are the commander-in-chief at such a young age?"

"Too young, is he reliable?"

After hearing Howard Glass's introduction, citizens began to discuss, some were sad about the loss of the 4th convoy, some were sympathetic to Yang Hui and others, but most of all, they were suspicious and questioning about Yang Hui's age.

"I know you all have doubts about Your Excellency Yang Hui's ability. Please see, this is the record of the 4th Fleet protecting Frontier during the last Vajra attack..."

As the recorded video began to play, everyone also intuitively saw the capabilities of the surviving fleet of the 4th Fleet. The new unified army they had high hopes for suffered heavy losses in front of Vajra, but this surviving fleet, which seemed to be obviously technologically backward, was steadily The defense line was held and Frontier was protected from Vajra's invasion.

Then, the screen showed [Dawn Gundam].

"This machine, named [Dawn Gundam], is the exclusive vehicle of Mr. Yang Hui. In the last battle, Mr. Yang Hui not only had the courage to fight on the most dangerous front line, but also showed great strength. So citizens, Please don’t doubt Commander Yang Hui, nor the surviving fleet, there is no doubt about their abilities.”

They were skeptical before, but now they are shocked. In the eyes of the citizens, it is just a rogue fleet with backward technology. How capable can it be?

But with the proof of combat records and the comparison of the new unified army, the status of Yang Hui and the Promis Legion in their hearts immediately began to improve, and very quickly.

"As you can see, in the last battle, the New United Army suffered heavy losses, which caused Frontier's defense force to be stretched thin. Fortunately, the addition of His Excellency Yang Hui and the surviving fleet made Frontier safer! Once again, in the name of President Frontier, I It is announced that all members of the surviving fleet will be fully integrated with Frontier, and His Excellency Yang Hui will serve as the commander-in-chief of the new unified army, commanding all military forces of Frontier!"

Howard Glass's announcement caused another uproar among the citizens of the 25th Fleet. The citizens were immediately divided into three groups. One group expressed support for Howard Glass's announcement. After all, in the record just played, Yang Hui and the Promis Legion The performance was really eye-catching, giving them more confidence and security.

The second type of people expressed opposition. After all, Yang Hui and the surviving fleet were outsiders. They said they could not trust each other, but there were only a very small number of such people, and there was a pair of eyes secretly staring at them where they could not see.

Finally, there are the neutrals, or... people who don't care. Regarding high-level decisions and appointments, they know that no matter how many thoughts they express, it is meaningless. As long as they can maintain their current stable life, that is enough.

"In order to let citizens more fully understand the strength of the surviving fleet, I discussed with Commander Yang Hui that a military exercise will be held soon. A coalition composed of the original New United Army Fleet and the elite troops of SMS Company will fight against the two surviving fleets. The fighter squadron will be broadcast live to all citizens, and Your Excellency Yang Hui will be here to explain it to you. I believe that no one can be more professional than Your Excellency Yang Hui."

"Just kidding!?"

"Two squads, fighting against a combined fleet!? Isn't this looking for death?",

"Isn't this too arrogant?"

"I don't think so. Look... the new Commander-in-Chief is not nervous at all."

"I'm really looking forward to the military exercise, let's start soon!"

……

Under everyone's nervous and expectant eyes, Yang Hui nodded to all the cameras, and then connected the communication between the top commanders of both actors.

"The drill begins."
