Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

"You are a bar owner, but all the surveillance videos in your store have been installed outside the town?"

The Zeon Army's convoy really had no intention of stopping in the town. It rumbled past the main road in the north-south direction. The leading van was also equipped with several loudspeakers, announcing that the area was under martial law and that the blockade would be closed next. Part of the road.

"In these days of war and chaos, as a business owner, I can't wait for the robbers to enter the store before reacting, right? But you, no matter what your purpose is, this area is going to be blocked by the Zeon army, aren't you anxious? ?”

"Amuro reported that the Gundam remained hidden and the Zeon army did not notice it." Platinum clearly knew what Captain Blade would be worried about now.

"Old man, aren't you in a hurry? Let's run over and report to the Zeon guys now that you called them Zeon dogs?"

Kai probably figured something was wrong. Although he was a little panicked when he saw Captain Blade touching the gun and heard the Zeon army approaching, but as long as he didn't really start to take action, Kai has always been a loser;

"You're telling the truth, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"You are not afraid of this, but if the Zeon army is really lured here, maybe they will find something that you are afraid of?"

Kai asked tentatively. He could feel that the temperament of this old bartender was somewhat similar to that of the smugglers in the black market on Side 7. Maybe selling alcohol was not the bulk of their business.

"Then you two can settle the matter, okay? With a federal military pistol, you might be able to find Zhang's sergeant certificate if you search him?"

"What you do has nothing to do with us, but at least for now we don't want to attract the attention of Zeon people. Frankly speaking, I hope to get news about the nearby Zeon garrison. There is no problem in asking for paid information."

Brad knew that it was impossible to carry something like an officer's ID with him when on a disguise mission, but he really didn't want to go around in circles with this weird-looking old man now. He was still better at commanding battles as a captain.

The old bartender raised his eyebrows, and finally a smile appeared on his face;

"How much money can you bring with you? You still have enough to buy some snacks and pay for it. Your commander will be worried if you bring too much - I want to know information. Which army are you from and why are you here?"

"Federal Space Force, coming here is unplanned."

Captain Blade did not hesitate and selected some unimportant information to reveal; after all, the Earth Army did not have a battleship capable of re-entering the atmosphere.

The old bartender then asked:

"So now you want to return to the area controlled by the federal army and join the main force?"

"Yes."

Captain Blade nodded.

"Hahaha——" A burst of bold laughter came from behind him.

……

"Ms. Millais, after observing the mobilization of the Zeon Army's ground forces, I suggest that the current White Base should enter a combat readiness state and prepare to take off again and transfer its position."

On the bridge of the White Base, Mile Hachishu sat awkwardly in Captain Brad's usual seat, while Shirogane was still standing on the side of this seat, stating the same as usual:

"It is speculated that the Zeon Army is trying to establish observation posts along the road and establish a blockade in the direction of our continued eastward advance."

"Then... what should we do? How about we wait for Captain Brad to come back?"

During the rotation break, Milai was suddenly told by Platinum that she had become the acting captain, and Brad ran out to conduct physical reconnaissance. Milai was confused and sat in this position under Platinum's guidance. She now seemed quite embarrassed. at a loss; at a loss;

Although he was born in the Bazhou family, a wealthy family that can directly affect the economic fluctuations of the Federation, and he has received a lot of education as a manager since he was a child, after all, he is separated by mountains and rivers, and he really has to bear the fate of the people on the White Base. She still appeared very nervous when making judgments.

"Doesn't that mean we just stay where we are and do nothing? Now the important combat power Gundam is also with Captain Brad. Why don't we take the initiative to join Captain Brad and the Gundam..."

Thela Mars has always been active in coming up with ideas;

"... Judging from the video that Miss Platinum sent just now, the Zeon army over there is probably just a lightly armed force on the perimeter. Tanks and Zaku are not equipped. It should be feasible for us to break through."

"But it will be closer to Phoenix City, the base camp of the Zeon garrison in the south, right?"

Mi Lai was hesitant. To a certain extent, she could see the advantages and disadvantages of this plan, but she didn't know how to weigh them.

"Miss Millay, Sergeant Long Jose reported that the maintenance team on the open deck has been withdrawn, but part of the repair work involves the replacement of damaged parts and cannot be completed. Now the White Base has entered the start-up stage. status."

Quietly, Platinum completed a series of preparation processes: confirming that except Captain Brad, Kai and Amuro, the rest of the crew had returned to the ship, all hatches of the ship were completely closed, and the reactor The output has also reached a level that can raise the hull at any time.

"Miss Platinum, can I still contact Captain Brad?"

Mirai looked up at Shirogane;

"Okay, but Captain Brad should be in a state where he can only listen but not speak."

"Then please inform Captain Brad of our current situation and ask him to return to the ship to join us as soon as possible so that the White Base can take off and continue heading west."

Mi Lai made up his mind.

"Understood, Miss Milai, Guntank and Guncannon are now also in preparation for war..." Platinum raised his right hand and moved it a few times in the void, projecting a lot of tactical information in front of the bridge;

"But neither Amuro nor Gai are here——"

"Then let me do it. There are no spare pilots now."

This afternoon, Sera Mars, who had just shot down a Zeon Army Rugun reconnaissance aircraft with her Core Fighter, stood up. She subconsciously wanted to avoid the idleness she often felt as a correspondent on the bridge. , even in fierce battles.

"Then please, Miss Serra."

……

In this small bar with antique decoration, in a corner away from the counter, on a booth that was shaded by several tall potted plants with dense foliage, a middle-aged man with a strong build and one eye covered by a blindfold walked out.

"——Isn't it easy to say this earlier? When I saw you two dumbfounded young people running in, Old Regan probably thought it was the Zeon guys who noticed this stronghold."

"stronghold?"

Captain Brad and Kai were both stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses;

"Could it be that……"

The middle-aged man strode over and said:

"You're lucky, I did get bumped into by you - but that's right, there are still a few shops with lights on at this time, old Reagan?"

"Frederick, you bastard, when did this become a stronghold for your group of guerrillas behind enemy lines? I'm a retired person and you dragged me into it."

The old bartender sighed helplessly when he saw this. As if he had taken off a layer of disguise, he sat down on the lounge chair behind the counter and said impatiently:

"That guy is also a federal army, and he is also a school officer. After being separated from the large army, he hid in the mountains and forests nearby to fight guerrillas."

'Frederick, Colonel, commanding special operations? 'Platinum, who continued to monitor the conversation, caught the familiar name and immediately sent a letter to the agent to confirm:

[Did you meet this person when you were in California? 】

[The identity information overlaps very much, and the possibility is very high. He is an officer of the special forces of the Federal Army. He was recorded as a missing person during the North American rout in mid-to-late March]

"Don't say that, who will pay you a pension now? We are taking the initiative to go deep behind enemy lines to conduct harassment and sabotage operations..." Federal Army Ranger Lieutenant Colonel Frederick pulled up a chair and sat next to Brad. He tapped his ear with his fingertips and said:

"Is it good? To what extent can you represent your army? You two are quite young. Your captain sent you two to perform a reconnaissance mission, and you didn't let a veteran follow you to hold the line."

'I am the captain of that battleship. 'Brad thought in his mind, but he hadn't completely let down his guard yet and didn't say this fact out yet.

"Captain Blade, the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference has indeed issued a letter requesting special operations behind enemy lines in Zeon-occupied areas. However, the confidentiality level of these operations is very high, and the participants cannot confirm it."

Theoretically speaking, Platinum, who belongs to the Federation Space Force, should not know the officers of the Federation Army Special Forces, but she can still select the known information to influence Captain Brad's decision-making.

"If this is the case, I hope the friendly forces of the Earth Army can share some information with us."

Captain Brad has not forgotten the purpose of his trip.

"As soon as you landed, you broke the wings of a Gawu. Do you know who is sitting on it?"

The old bartender said with a smile while controlling the computer behind the counter.

"Who?"

"Guess why the Commander-in-Chief of the Zeon Earth Front wants to surround you with such a big fanfare?"

The old bartender raised his finger and pointed at the TV behind him. Although Kalma's speech had ended, the two Zeon news anchors were still explaining to Kalma's portrait.

"Karma Zabi?!"

"That's right! That purple-haired boy Karma happened to be patrolling Gawu that day. How about it? Do you regret poking this hornet's nest in the future?"

'I regret it. I would have known that no matter what I said, I would have to let Bai Jin catch up. Even if I shoot blindly at the smoke, I will be blinded a few more times. 'Captain Blade did have a trace of remorse in his heart.

Chapter 35: Non-stop (1)

"Captain Blade, the White Base is setting sail to the west. If you need more support to escape the Zeon army's blockade, please contact me immediately."

Hearing that Captain Blade still hadn't gotten any more meaningful information from the two people who claimed to be related to the federal guerrillas, Platinum whispered in his ear.

"So you two, Frederick..."

Captain Blade looked at the one-eyed man sitting next to him;

"Lieutenant Colonel Frederick, but since we don't belong to each other, we won't do those false courtesy."

"...and Regan..."

"Just call me Mr. Reagan. I worked for the federal government for a period of time before, but now I'm just an idle retired old man who doesn't assume any responsibility."

"Okay, in that case, let me tell you the truth. On behalf of the Federation Space Force, I attacked the landing ship White Base. When I was ordered to return to the headquarters Gabro from the space, I was intercepted by the Zeon army. Unexpectedly Having landed here, we urgently need to know local intelligence."

Captain Brad made up his mind and said in a deep voice:

"Now the Zeon Army is obviously mobilizing troops on a large scale in the surrounding area. I can't stay here for long. If you two can point out a way out for us, we will be grateful."

"I have to think twice about asking about the strength of our guerrillas behind enemy lines right away, but what's the point of being grateful for sharing Zeon information?"

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick did not shy away. He immediately took out his cell phone and operated it, opening a map from an inconspicuous hidden folder.

"You should be glad that you didn't land directly near a base where the Zeon army has heavily concentrated troops. These central and southern inland states far away from the coastline are sparsely populated, and they are not directly adjacent to our federation's controlled areas. Zeon man The limited ground forces are also concentrated near several mining areas."

"How many of these troops are there? Will they not be mobilized by Karma?"

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick sneered and shook his head, and then enlarged the map to show Captain Brad the details of the military symbols on it:

"No, look here. This logo means that this Zeon force belongs to the Resource Extraction Corps. Generally, the command is huddled near the industrial and mining production bases established by Zeon. It is not the same system as the Zeon Earth Attack Force. That purple-haired boy can’t command him..."

"...We have tried it before, and there is almost no cooperation between them and the Zeon guys from the Earth Attack Army. I guess this time unless you fly over a Zeon mining area, they will not participate in attacking you. Siege.”

"And what about these?"

Captain Blade clicked on the Zeon logos on state capitals and a limited number of large cities, and asked seriously:

"These are the Earth Attack Force troops, right?"

"Yes, Zeon still has some mobile troops stationed in big cities to maintain the stability of the occupied areas and mop up guerrillas like us. However, those Zeon guys are basically mobilization troops who came down from the sky later. Their quality is not the same as the original ones. It’s not even close to 01:30 to lower the troops.”

"If you draw a circle with Payson as the center..."

Captain Brad rubbed his chin and drew on Lieutenant Colonel Frederick's map with his other hand:

"...The Zeon troops that can arrive in about three hours are..."

"You don't need to look at the extra ones -" Lieutenant Colonel Frederick adjusted it on the map and turned off a layer. The densely packed Zeon unit logos on it immediately became much sparser;

"——Most of the security forces stationed in the hinterland of the occupied area are light-armed motorized infantry, and their supporting firepower is at the level of rocket launchers and mortars. Your space army's warships certainly don't have to worry. These are the only threats nearby. .”

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick clicked to highlight several Zeon units.

"The air transportation force with the Gawu-class aircraft carrier as the core, and the mixed armored force of the Central Bandit Suppression Command?"

"But to put it this way, Zaku alone has the size of two squadrons, and there can be more than 50 Magera tanks. Long-range artillery and rocket artillery are also attached - but I don't know if you can open a battleship In their eyes, whether these troops are a problem or not is not a problem."

After getting permission from Lieutenant Colonel Frederick, Brad obtained a backup copy of this map, which was immediately shared on the ship by Platinum Sync.

"Captain Blade, the Zeon Army intelligence update has been completed. The only uncertainty now is the Zeon Army's grasp of our ship's movements, and when and where its various forces will gather. Can we Break down the opportunities one by one."

Platinum's voice sounded in Captain Brad's ears again.

"I understand," Captain Brad said, clasping the microphone hidden in his collar with his knuckles, and replied to Platinum with a pun:

"Then there is one more thing. I wonder if you have a channel to contact the Federal Army Headquarters. We landed here unexpectedly, and we are very eager to make the Headquarters understand our situation."

Old bartender Regan and Lieutenant Colonel Frederick looked at each other, and it was old Regan who spoke:

"I can't communicate in real time, but it's okay to relay a message through an informant, but it's definitely not through the channel of your Space Army. Which fleet of the Space Army are you under? Or are you directly under the staff department?"

"Do not……"

Captain Brad hesitated for a moment. Out of uncertainty about the other party's situation, he decided to use the name of the theoretically most influential boss of the White Base to ensure that he could suppress the other party:

"...It's General Raibil. We are troops directly under General Raibil."

'The White Base and the Gundam are both included in the 'V Plan' system led by General Raibil. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are subordinates of General Raibil...'

Captain Brad was thinking secretly in his mind that the order that had been sent from Gabro Headquarters to make the current staff of the White Base immobile and return directly made him feel a little bit different about the attitude of Gabro Headquarters in his mind. A question mark.

"Which Rebil is...wait, General Rebil, Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army?!"

Old Reagan seemed a little nonchalant at first, but he reacted immediately, and together with Lieutenant Colonel Frederick and even Kai, they unconsciously straightened their upper bodies and approached Captain Blood;
