A journey through the Gundam world

"Yeah. I don't know if Shuguang Club can... cough."

Realizing that he had almost spilled the beans, Chisaka coughed unconsciously to cover it up.

Alex did not ask in detail. Calculating the time, the development of mobile suits within the Earth United Army should also be put on the agenda at this time.

It's just that it will be the second half of CE70 when the inefficient top brass of the United Army finish wrangling and pass Plan G.

If everything goes well at that time, he should have completed his mission and left PLANT.

Later, the Orb instructors observed the recruits' first experience of driving a mobile suit around the training ground.

What surprised Alex and others was that the whole training ended.

Only a few people accidentally let the mobile suit fall to the ground while operating it.

It's all because the teenagers who have just learned to walk try to run when they get excited.

There was no problem during the running process, but when it came to a stop, it was obvious that he had forgotten the huge difference in size and weight between the mobile suit and the human body, and was trapped by the inertia.

Fortunately, they all fell to the ground due to sudden braking, and both the man and the machine were fine. However, these unlucky guys were also punished by running circles around the training ground.

Judging from their dejected looks, it was obvious that they would be laughed at by others when they returned.

Generally speaking, these recruits have shown their abilities on MS.

Moreover, these recruits were very excited when they came into contact with MS for the first time.

This excitement lasted for several days.

Until, news about ZAFT's defeat came.

On March 70, CE3, the ZAFT army began to attack the earth.

Chapter 7 Defeat and Inspiration

The purpose of this operation is to ensure the safety of the food production areas that supply PLANT.

Although PLANT has transformed Junius 1-7 into agricultural satellites.

But with 6 agricultural satellites, if you want to meet the food needs of more than 6000 million people, it is obvious that no matter how awesome the regulators are, they cannot do it.

This is not a problem that can be solved in the short term by relying on technology. The habitability of hourglass-shaped satellites is indeed better than that of barrel-shaped satellites, but the available area causes serious problems when it is used as a land-intensive industry such as agriculture.

Therefore, even if PLANT has modified satellites for agricultural production, it will still mainly rely on food imports from the earth.

Moreover, the United States of South America, one of PLNAT's two major food sources, has been invaded and occupied by the Atlantic Federation.Although there are still resistance groups fighting, it is only a matter of time before they fall completely.

With the fall of the Panama Spaceport, the food exports of the United South America were completely cut off.

In order to ensure the safety of the Oceania Federation, the only source of food supply, ZAFT decided to launch an operation to descend to the earth.

The target was not Oceania at the beginning, but the Victoria Spaceport controlled by the Organization of African Unity.

ZAFT's operational purpose is very clear. In addition to ensuring food security, it also seizes and controls all space ports on the earth, so as to cut off the logistics of the coalition forces in space and control the battlefield on the earth.

So on March 3, what came to be known as the First Battle of Victoria began.

Under the cover of the Nazca- and Laurasia-class fleets and mobile suits of the ZAFT Army, the drop-pod transport ship carrying the orbital descent troops arrived at the mission target.

Each airborne transport ship is equipped with 11 airborne capsules that can accommodate 4 mobile suits.

Under the flashing light signal, the airborne transport fleet lined up in a single column dropped the airborne pods mounted under the ship one by one amid the sound of instructions.

Soon, these orbital drop capsules fell into the atmosphere like a goddess scattering flowers.

Looking up at the sky from the ground, these drop pods are like bolides, piercing the atmosphere and falling towards the Victoria Spaceport...

From ZAFT's perspective, the probability of victory in this battle is very high.

The African region is actually occupied by two major organizations at the moment. The African Community and the African Community occupy vast areas in the north, west and central areas.

The Organization of African Unity counters it with parts of the south, east and centre.

If it were not for the Victoria Spaceport and therefore the support of the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Federation, the Organization of African Unity would have been eliminated by the African Community long ago.

The African Community is a country that favors PLANT, so taking the Victoria Spaceport first will help bring the whole of Africa into the pro-PLANT ranks, and at the same time add a secure food base.

Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as Zaft thought.

When they began to land in orbit, the African Community, which had originally agreed to launch an attack together, was suddenly attacked by the Eurasian Federation from the Mediterranean region.

As a result, it had to stop its original plan to cooperate with ZAFT airborne troops to launch attacks from the ground.

Although the ZAFT airborne troops, which lacked the support of ground troops, initially gained a surprise advantage, they quickly fell into siege due to insufficient strength.

After a fierce battle, the remaining troops withdrew into the African Community territory, and the entire battle lasted about a week.

The first offensive and defensive battle of Victoria ended with ZAFT's defeat.

This failure caused an uproar when it was introduced into PLANT's country.

This defeat is obviously unacceptable to the adjusters. Although the losses were not small before, ZAFT has always been the winner.

However, this time, they failed, which immediately attracted domestic criticism from PLANT.

And the Earth United took the opportunity to trumpet this victory and called it the beginning of the Adjusters' failure.

This kind of argument that exaggerates the enemy's failure not only encourages natural people, but also makes many adjusters panic. After all, the tragedy of Bloody Valentine's Day is still fresh in our minds.

Even the new recruits who were being trained were affected.

On the training ground, Alex frowned slightly.

Since this morning, these new recruits have seemed to have low morale, even a little depressed.

"What's going on with you guys? You usually look at me with your nostrils turned upward, and you look like the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss, the boss and the boss. Why are you so weak today? Why, tell me and let me hear it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the queue of recruits, but as he glanced around, the people he looked at lowered their heads unconsciously.

Seeing no one spoke, Alex could only name names.

"Nichol."

"Ah? Yes!"

The green-haired boy agreed reflexively, but didn't know what to say.

"It's because... uh."

"Just say it. I'm very curious as to what could make you, who usually have your eyes high above your head, turn into such a bear."

"Yes, it's because we lost the Victoria offensive and defensive battle."

Nicol replied loudly.

"Just because of this?"

Alex was a little unbelievable. He knew about this, but as a time traveler, he was a little unbelievable.

Just because a battle is lost, these adjusters can be worried like this.

"Instructor, please speak!"

At this time, Aslan raised his hand.

"Agreed to speak."

After receiving permission, the blue-haired wolf took a step forward.

"What everyone is worried about now is a repeat of the Junius 7 incident. After all, the Alliance still has a large fleet in the universe. Although ZAFT has won consecutive victories, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength ratio."

After listening to Aslan's explanation, Alex suddenly realized.

As a time traveler, I have much more information than the people in this world in front of me.

Just like the taxi driver he met in Orb, he firmly believed that under Uzmi's leadership, Orb would not be involved in this war.And he knew that in a year, the war would burn to Orb's homeland.

This asymmetric information gap makes him and people in this world look at things from different perspectives.

Alex knew clearly that later today, the PLANT Council would discuss and decide to authorize ZAFT's Europa operation.

This battle has three important tasks; first, ensure that ZAFT establishes a base on Earth.Secondly, suppress the space port or mass accelerator base on the earth and block the Earth Alliance Army on the earth.Third, use neutron jammers to completely abolish the coalition's ability to use nuclear weapons to attack PLANT's homeland.

And these young men, although there are many young men among them.But this secret will not be released until the battle begins.

Therefore, it is understandable that they are worried about the Junius 7 incident happening again.

However, it is not good if it affects training.

"So that's it, I understand. Come back to the team."

"Yes!"

Aslan stepped back and walked back into the group.

Alex glanced at everyone again.

"I didn't expect that you are actually nuclear-phobic and fearful to this extent. No wonder, after all, the tragedy of Junius 7 is something that none of us want to see."

He pointed to the location of his heart.

"Even as a natural person, I think this is wrong. So you should be afraid."

Alex's words made the teenagers present secretly moved.

Although the instructor is a natural person, smokes, drinks, and is narcissistic, he is very kind at heart.

"However, this is exactly what the enemy wants to achieve. They, the extremists of the Blue Universe, want to spread fear in this way, so that you will eventually succumb to their threats and become their slaves And puppets.”

"When the time comes, you can only kneel at their feet obediently, and use your lives to pray that those crazy guys will give up killing and show mercy to you."

Speaking of this, he felt that the initially panicked and overwhelmed hearts of the teenagers in front of him had calmed down and developed in the direction of anger and excitement.

Then the expression on his face became serious.

"Then, tell me, do you want to stand and die like a human being! Or kneel and live like a dog!"

His voice just fell.

"I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

Inflammable and explosive Yitzhak was the first to shout loudly.

With his taking the lead, others immediately started shouting.

"That's right! Isn't it that we join the army to protect our families?"

"Yes! I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

Looking at the group of people who were originally dejected, they seemed to have endless strength in their bodies at this moment.

Alex nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, then since you want to survive, you must work harder in the following training. Do you have the consciousness to enter hell?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

This time he didn't need to say anything, everyone answered him loudly.

Their roars made other recruits who were undergoing training on the training ground look sideways.

The instructors from Orb also took the opportunity to guide these new recruits.

In this way, the depression and malaise that originally pervaded the recruits was swept away.

All the recruits worked harder and harder, and the instructors responded with double the amount of training.

By the end of training, a group of people practically crawled to the cafeteria.

"Damn it...that guy must have done it on purpose."

The fork in Yitzhak's hand was curling up the pasta, shaking like a late-stage Parkinson's disease patient.

I took two glances before putting the pasta into my mouth, but my cheeks were covered with tomato sauce.

"You're the one who yells the loudest. Yitzhak."

Diego, who simply gave up cutting the knife and gnawed directly on the steak with his fork, wiped the black pepper sauce on his face.

"Ah, I'm starving to death."

"What a waste! How can I be looked down upon by a natural person!"

Aslan and Nigel, who were sitting opposite the two of them, looked at them with helpless smiles on their faces.
