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

"MS units are suffering increasing losses!"

On the Titans fleet's communication channels, almost everyone watched in disbelief as the MS forces suffered a sudden and significant loss of manpower. They had anticipated fierce resistance once inside Axis, so the forces they had committed were by no means underestimated. Yet, even so, the response they received was a series of lost signals.

This far exceeded the expectations of the Titans officers, who believed that the forces currently fighting around Axis should be the last remaining armed forces of Axis. If they had the capability to dismantle the invading forces, why allow them to invade in the first place?

But soon, they saw a streak of light burst forth from the gate, and in that instant, several beams of light pierced through the surrounding mobile suits.
It was Quinmansa who was driven by Gremi!

The surrounding drones fired another salvo, then converged around Quinmanza, all aiming in the same direction at the enemies surrounding the Royal Guard! After this barrage, Quinmanza successfully allowed the last sixty-odd Neo Zeon mobile suits on this battlefield to break through the Titans' encirclement, allowing them to rendezvous with Quinmanza at the gate.
"Huh, huh..."

Gremy's condition wasn't good. Although he didn't know why he had finally managed to control this monstrous machine, being able to fight was ultimately a good thing. However, controlling such a massive machine still placed a huge burden on Gremy.

"So it still won't work, will it? To become a new kind of human..."

That's fantastic!

If the head of Quinmansa knew what Gremy was thinking, he would definitely exclaim like this. It's no exaggeration to say that if Gremy's action of activating the Psycommu device just now could be analyzed and replicated, the definition of the New Human species would be elevated to a new level, and it might even be possible to truly elevate ordinary people into genuine New Humans, rather than the ambiguous existence of enhanced humans or clones.

Unfortunately, this kind of event, which can already be called a minor miracle, no longer has the opportunity to be studied.

Ultimately, even the technicians still don't understand why the Seecomu device emits a faint light when it resonates at high intensity.

Just like the current Kunmansa, a faint purple light is swirling around its dark green fuselage, and even the floating cannons are also surrounded by purple light. Even the trajectory of their operation seems more agile, making it difficult for the Titans' mobile suits to defend against.

However, as funnels have evolved, the methods for dealing with them have also been constantly updated. The reason why funnels are so lethal to mobile suits is that their all-around attacks can often strike when the pilot's attention is blinded. So the countermeasure is relatively simple: use high-speed movement to constantly escape being targeted.

Or it could be about monitoring all possible directions from which an attack could be launched.

The Titans' mobile suit forces, currently under attack from the funnels, quickly coalesced into a loose circle. As they placed their shields in front of their chests, their Vulcan cannons, missiles, and other weaponry opened fire, targeting the funnels surrounding them. This unusual, suddenly formed formation actually managed to eliminate three or four funnels after the initial burst of fire.

Seeing this, the Titans' morale soared. They suddenly broke apart to dodge the MEGA particle cannons coming from Quinmanza and then unleashed a volley at Quinmanza.

Of course, it was still intercepted by the I-force field.

"The solar system's mirror surface is 64% damaged, and the power output will be significantly reduced during the next irradiation!"

In other words, they can no longer use the solar power system to inflict a devastating blow on the Quinmansa; they can only rely on mobile suits and battleships to slowly wear it down.

Facing the fortress-backed Kunmansa, it was undoubtedly a slow death for the fleet.

Not to mention that Neo Zeon's mobile suits are now built around the core of the Quin Manza defenses, making them a tough nut to crack.

Winning is still possible. But if the fighting continues like this, controlling Axis will likely require more than just a simple reign of terror. If the Titans' military strength is severely depleted, how many people will remain within Axis to maintain their control?

The Titans commander's expression was inscrutable as he looked towards the situation on another battlefield. The Jupiter had already created a considerable distance between itself and Axis. Considering the pressure being exerted on Axis's homeland, this distance was sufficient to conclude that the Jupiter had escaped Axis's control.

From this perspective, they have achieved their basic objective and have no reason to continue fighting Axis to the death. It will probably not be long before the governor issues an order to retreat.

The Titans commander gritted his teeth, finding it hard to accept this outcome. They had sacrificed so much, not to let Andre Tek win the battle.

Just at that moment, the "conversation" arranged by Enzo was brought into the Titans commander's warship.

……

"Snapped"

The sound of the folding fan snapping open and folding sharply drew everyone's attention on the bridge to Sima, who stood at the head of the group.

"Something's not right."

Sima stared at the Zeon movements displayed on the screen and bluntly voiced her opinion. Since she was the undisputed leader on the ship, there was no need for her to hide anything. Besides, everyone on board was a former Zeon member, and they all understood what Sima meant by "something's not right."

Neo Zeon's offensive intensity has significantly decreased; they no longer approach with the frenzied frenzy they had at the beginning, but instead maintain a delicate distance from Andre Tek, engaging in mutual restraint and firing.

Although this trend had been evident for some time, Sima noticed something different – ​​the Neo Zeon were trying to take over the Helium 3 storage tanks located outside the Jupiter.

It's important to understand that the only reason the Second Jupiter Fleet didn't launch a full-scale attack was because the Jupiter Triss was in the hands of Axis. Just as a hostage in the hands of criminals can only be guaranteed to negotiate if he is alive, Axis is only useful if he can keep Helium 3 safe and sound in their hands; otherwise, he is nothing more than a pile of useless matter drifting in space.

Those who frequently participate in negotiations know that the most dangerous time for a hostage is when the perpetrator has nowhere else to go and is thinking of taking someone down with them.

In other words, the Titans on the other side have likely already achieved their goal. Therefore, Axis has become more lenient in his orders, no longer restricting his soldiers from attacking the Jupiteris itself.

From a macro perspective, this behavior and Enzo's decision to negotiate seem like a clash of opposing viewpoints. However, the Neo Zeon regime, which seized power, can hardly guarantee that its subordinates won't harbor ulterior motives, especially when faced with renewed oppression from the Federation. Many frontline officers of the former Principality of Zeon don't care about the intricacies of their positions; their motivation is simply a basic desire for revenge.

However, Sima was unaware of this and simply assumed that the Titans had the potential to "control all Helium-3".

Thinking of this, Sima couldn't sit still any longer. She tossed her cloak, letting it fall naturally onto the captain's seat, and walked to the elevator connecting the upper and lower hulls. "Give me a few clever guys and some soldiers with me. Let's go find those old Zeon guys and get revenge."

After speaking, the elevator doors closed, and this space mayfly embarked on his long-awaited journey of piloting a mobile suit.

Contract Hummer, that's the name of Cima's current vehicle. In terms of technological lineage, it inherits from the prototype of the Red Wildebeest Gundam and is a subsequent development model of the Contract Zero Gundam. It is a machine with a slightly outdated design concept, still designed according to the combat concept of high-speed attack and one-hit-and-run.

The pair of originally designed fighting claws were modified into ordinary mechanical arms at Sima's own request, thus enabling the addition of weapons such as beam rifles and rocket launchers. Combined with the MEGA particle cannon built into its shield, the machine's armament is quite adequate.

This machine lived up to its name as a high-speed assault machine, and its burst of speed quickly allowed Sima to catch up with her subordinates who had been selected to head towards Axis itself from her own flagship.

Yes, Sima decided to go all out. She dared to directly attack the Ond Tek fleet back then, with Eli in command; now, facing the Axis fleet primarily composed of Gaza C, she dared to do the same.

"Om-"

Soon, several beams of light, comparable to those from a ship's cannon, streaked past Sima, destroying many enemy aircraft along the way and working together with Sima to create a path! Not only that, but many Rem also ventured in, opening a passage for Sima.

It was Commander Andre Tek who discovered Sima's solo journey, and instead of ordering her to retreat, he...
"Hmph, unnecessary... Men, I don't like owing favors!"

As Sima spoke, he led his men to accelerate again, eventually reaching the surface of Axis. They then rushed into the port where ships were still leaving, not forgetting to leave a small explosive gift for the warship, before rushing into the interior along the transport channel.

Sima's reckless action allowed her to enter Axis's territory even before the Titans! This doesn't mean the Titans were useless, but rather that Axis had indeed committed all its available forces to the Titans.

Enzo quickly learned of Sima's invasion, which made his expression suddenly darken as he was communicating with the Titans.

"Our communication with you is sincere, yet you act in this way; isn't that a blatant breach of trust?"

He completely changed his attitude from the "restraint to save more lives" he had just spoken with the Titans commander; a sense of pride befitting a general facing the fall of his nation filled his body.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

The Titans commander frowned. His true intention was to avoid any dialogue with Axis; he'd be happy to have them detonate a nuclear bomb inside, and he'd even send his men to finish them off. His current tacit agreement with Axis was merely a matter of being in a higher position and seeking greater benefits.

The corruption of an organization often begins when it loses its core values ​​in pursuit of so-called greater interests. Unfortunately, this is far from the beginning. No matter which high-ranking Titans officer is in charge, they will ultimately make the same choice in order to check and balance Andre Tek.

Enzo showed the Titans commander the footage of the Simana contracted Humvee directly, which resulted in the commander's face darkening in response.

"This was not our arrangement."

He immediately recognized the distinctive machine as Sima's ride.

"..."

Enzo fell silent for a moment, then hung up the call.

Negotiations with the Titans were no longer necessary, but fortunately, the Endora was prepared. Enzo looked up at Gremi, who was still fighting on the outskirts of Axis, and ignoring the strange looks from the others in the command room, turned to leave.

"Ok?"

Enzo suddenly realized that two Neo Zeon soldiers were blocking his way. They were two members of Gremy's guard squad. Enzo frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"What are you doing blocking my way? Get out of my way!"

While reprimanding him, Enzo also tried to call for his guards, but received no response for a long time.

Subsequently, the man who had fueled the change of regime in Axis fell silent.

He turned around, his gaze returning to the Quinmanza, the machine created as a symbol of Neo Zeon. The young Gremi was far less young than Enzo had imagined; even without the qualifications of a Newtype, he could still see many things clearly.

"Ah, Zeon."

Enzo muttered one last thing before suddenly turning around and drawing his gun!

But the next moment, a bullet trailing a beam of light pierced his forehead, completely robbing him of his life.

The command center was unusually quiet, but everyone's attention was not on Enzo's slumped body, but on the dying Quinmansa. Knowing that Sima had infiltrated Axis, the Titans had launched a reckless charge, disregarding casualties, which only hastened Quinmansa's defeat. If they could get a force into Axis, the Titans might still have a chance to maintain control over Helium-3.

The people of Neo Zeon are all focused on their monarch, who embodies the very concept of Zeon and attempts to appease the Federation's anger by sacrificing his own life in exchange for the survival of more people.

In the end, all of Quinmanza's funnels were destroyed. She herself was exposed to the low-output solar system and, due to the missing right leg, was caught in a gap. She was then swarmed by Titans mobile suits and was finally completely destroyed by the beam saber at extremely close range.

Gremi, whose small miracle was caused by Zeon's grand ambition, and his personal guard did not allow a single Titans mobile suit to enter the Axis Gate in their final moments before they died.

With his demise, it is time for Neo Zeon to exit the stage of this universe. (End of Chapter)
