Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 155 The Navy is embarrassed so the Space Army comes!
"Eh? Aren't we going back to the Turlington base?"

After knowing that the white horse was slowly landing at the California base, Gis asked Uraki Hiroshi beside him with some doubts.

They are now having dinner in the ship's restaurant.

"It seems that Gundam and the others will come here later."

While eating, Uraki Hiroshi kept his eyes on the tablet in his hands.

He was analyzing the data of the Jim Kai in his hand and responded to Gis's words casually.

"Can we get off the boat later? I want to drink."

After looking at the tablet in Uraki Hiroshi's hand for a few times, Gis finally chose to give up and not plan to delve into it any further. He was still thinking about how to ease the trauma in his heart.

Even though he was mentally prepared as a driver, it was still difficult for Giss to accept seeing the enemy's body parts on his first battle.

Desperately in need of alcohol and the comfort of an older sister.

"Don't even think about it. We still have to maintain level 2 combat alert."

At this time, Arcadia came over and sat at the table for them.

"Ah? Why?"

"Because the next test is of underwater equipment, we have to patrol the target sea area for safety reasons."

Arcadia's answer caused Giss to collapse into his chair.

"Why is this happening... Navy?"

"Hahaha, don't let anyone else hear this. This is a naval base."

Arcadia said this to Gis.

The California base is actually a group of 29 bases, which also serves as a naval and aerospace research base. It is also the largest naval shipyard in the Earth Federation.

Gis immediately fell silent and concentrated on eating.

"By the way, Hong and Gis, have you two ever considered coming to Onder-Tek?"

"Eh? The two of us?"

Gis immediately raised his head again, and Uraki also gave him a puzzled look.

"Two of my veterans are about to retire. They said they want to go back to their hometown to open a barbecue restaurant or a bakery. They plan to hand in their resignations after this test mission is over."

Arcadia said to the two of them.

Although this is a newly expanded team that has only been established for a year, it is understandable that these two veterans who have fought since the One Year War want to retire as the activity of the remnants of Zeon on Earth is becoming less and less.

"Although you two are still rookies, instead of transferring in two more elite soldiers and having to get used to each other again, it would be better for you two to join us officially."

Arcadia's tone let the two know that this was serious.

Uraki Hiro immediately sat up straight, and after looking at Gis, he was about to formally agree loudly.

But Arcadia reached out to stop him.

Because he quietly took out a tin kettle from his pocket and motioned for the two to bring the quilt.

"whisky?"

Uraki Hiroshi looked at the dark brown liquid in the cup in his hand, his nose twitched slightly, and he understood what it was.

"No, this is oolong tea."

"Eh? No matter how you look at it, it seems..."

“Oolong tea!”

Gis wanted to defend the poor glass of wine in his hand, but after seeing Arcadia's extremely serious face, which even cast some shadows and lines, he did not say anything.

"Well, I wish you two live a long and long life." After clinking glasses, the three of them drank their shares in one gulp.

"Come to think of it, didn't we just talk about drinking..."

"It's okay. Just drink a little. Don't get drunk. The captain will turn a blind eye."

Arcadia stuffed the flagon back into her clothes and enjoyed her meal.

Soon, he led his team members on the SFS to the sea area where the test was scheduled, and scanned the area again and again with the phased array radar to confirm that there were no unreasonable and elusive submarines in the sea area.

Of course, the navy has done this kind of anti-submarine operations many times.

It’s just that the navy is unreliable, which is already a fixed impression...

In recent times, half of the reports of attacks by Zeon remnants have landed from the sea.

The navy's attitude is to say sorry, I was wrong, please give me money to develop new equipment, otherwise we will not be able to defeat the remnants of Zeon.

Although it also means that he relies on the remnants to maintain his position, this is also the fact...

After finally confirming that there were no remnants of Zeon, the anti-submarine work was handed over to the navy ships, and the MS returned to the White Chase.

"Keep half-board and rest. No one is allowed to leave the ship! Notice everyone, I'll treat everyone to a drink after this job is done."

Captain Paul quietly put the bottle of wine deeper into his arms and gave this order amidst the small cheers.

The White Horse Chasers did not have to wait long before the silhouette of the Albion ship appeared in the western sky, lowering its altitude.

Some of the Onder-Tech members, including Eli, are on this battleship.

The two captains, Io and Sandus, and their machines, a custom GM, a GM Cannon, and two Gundams.

This is the MS that Albion currently carries on board.

However, Eli does not plan to drive the GP04 in this test.
Because GP04 is more focused on combat in space, the next underwater test will be sufficient as long as it can ensure basic airtightness.

What really needs to be tested is the water equipment developed by Anaheim on GP01.

During this time, Nina has led the Anaheim staff to change into water equipment.

This is to cope with the current sluggish situation of the navy. The equipment was developed based on the Underwater Gundam and Underwater GM, with the aim of mass production so that the equipment can be used for underwater combat.

Obviously, this is another project that will compete with Yasushiro's development concept.

The California base obviously attaches great importance to this and specially dispatched an underwater Gundam to the base right under our feet in order to cooperate with the testing of this equipment.

"But will the Navy really be so kind..."

But don't forget that the Navy has been proposing new equipment not because it really wants to strengthen its combat effectiveness, but because it is counting on military funding from the Federal Parliament.

If Anaheim really develops universal underwater equipment, the Navy's plan to raise military funds will be dashed.

"Well, they won't collaborate with the enemy anyway."

Captain Synaps shrugged, thinking that Eli was worrying too much.

But he didn't notice that when he said this, Eli's eyes changed immediately.

"It's broken. Is it too late to use the Superior GM in the water?"

Eli thought so with a strange look on his face.

Because GP04's combat effectiveness in water is not even as good as Jim's (Nina's face)

When meeting with the commander of the disciplinary base, Eli also specifically determined this guy's tag.

Eli breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there were no words like treason or traitor, wondering if he was being too sensitive.
