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

Chapter 8: Do you still regard the federal government as a prison?

"Lock the cockpit."

Eli instructed Amada Shirou.

The MS cockpit is equipped with an external emergency handle to facilitate the rescue of the driver inside.

However, the early design was still immature, and it has become one of the weaknesses that can be exploited by infantry units.

Of course, with the presence of Eli, who had insight into the opponent's tactics, the final threat from the guerrillas in front of them completely disappeared.

"Walk."

After confirming that everything was safe, Eli told Shirou to follow his pace, and the two machines moved forward again, as if completely ignoring the guerrillas.

The two land-based Gundams took a step forward, without even looking at the people standing on the treetops, and headed straight for the predetermined route.

"Hey! Can't you hear me? This is our territory, you are not allowed to go any further!"

The orange-haired girl in the lead became furious upon seeing this, and actually raised her pistol and fired three shots at the Land Combat Gundam driven by Shirou Amada.

The bullet, which was only 9mm in caliber, hit the land-based Gundam, only causing weak sparks of fire.

Even so, Shirou Amada stopped the machine in confusion.

For Shirou Amada, he just wanted to see what kind of person was bold enough to shoot at a MS, and he had no intention of fighting with him.

But this is not the case with the guerrillas.

"Do it!"

Following a loud shout from the leading girl, the guerrillas retreated into the bushes with great agility.

Then, several barrels of objects were thrown at him.

The strong flash of light instantly turned the screen of Shiro Amada's car white, and he could no longer see the outside scene.

"Ugh!"

Unprepared, Shirou Amada had no choice but to cover his eyes.

Then in the next moment, several claws hooked onto the land combat type Gundam.

The orange-haired girl even hooked her claws on the antenna of the Land Combat Gundam and kicked it onto the forehead monitor on its head.

When Shirou Amada regained his vision, he saw the girl's staring eyes.

"Hey! Get out of here quickly, or else!"

Shirou Amada watched speechlessly as the girl yelled and pointed her gun towards the cockpit.

Then he noticed some knocking on his cabin door.

"Miss, Miss, this hatch seems unable to open."

After a while, a man came up to the girl and told her in a low voice, but clearly heard by Shirou Amada, that the hatch door would not move no matter how hard he turned the handle.

"what?"

The girl was stunned for a moment as if she heard something extraordinary.

Then her head twisted stiffly back to face the camera.

Their plan was good. As long as they could capture the pilot of one of the machines, the other machine would have no choice but to act cautiously.

But Eli was prepared in advance.

"Have you had enough of the trouble?"

At this time, Eli's voice was transmitted to the outside world through the machine's speaker.

"We are on a mission today. If you retreat now, we can spare your lives."

Eli said this in a calm tone, and then the 60mm Vulcan cannon and the multi-function launcher on the chest of the Land Combat Gundam made the sound of mechanical movement and aimed at Shirou Amada's body.

To be more precise, it was aimed at the guerrillas standing on the Land Combat Gundam.

The 60mm Vulcan cannon cannot be fired casually, because at this distance it may harm Shirou Amada's land combat type Gundam.

However, the multi-purpose launcher was already loaded with anti-personnel shotgun shells, and only one shot was needed to kill all these ungrateful guerrillas. Facing the huge muzzle, even the fearless girl couldn't help but take a small step back in fear.

"Obviously, this is our land..."

The girl looked very unwilling.

"No, this is federal land. Your actions have violated treason and obstruction of military service. If it weren't for the special period, no one would blame me if I shot you now. Now it's the Universal Century, the Vietnam War tactics won't work."

Eli still used a calm tone to make the above judgment to the girl.

"But…"

"There's no point in talking any more. Get out of the way or I'll shoot."

Eli's voice suddenly turned cold.

The girl looked around at her subordinates in bewilderment and found that most of them were sweating coldly and did not dare to move.

And the person who had told her that the hatch could not be opened came closer.

"Hey, this 06 logo seems to be the demon that Zeon mentioned."

He put his ear close to the girl's ear, causing her expression to change instantly.

When he looked again, he found that all his subordinates were looking at him with surprise, and the pleading in their eyes was obvious.

"let's go…"

The girl clenched her fist and held it in front of her eyes for a long time, and finally could only utter these words.

They appeared just as suddenly as they did, and even left in a hurry.

In just a short while, there was no trace of them left in the dense forest.

After confirming that the guerrillas had left, Eli also cancelled the reloading of his chest weapon, turned around and returned to the original planned route.
It was only at this point that Shirou realized that the conflict had been resolved.

"Don't just stand there, there's not much time left."

At Eli's urging, Shiro Amada operated the machine and followed.

The two machines continued to move silently in the dense forest for a long time.

"Lieutenant Eli, what do those guerrillas mean by 'devil'?"

After a long time, as if unable to bear the loneliness during the march, Shiro Amada took the initiative to find a topic.

"…He was given the title of Devil by Zeon because he shot down too many targets. That's nothing. Wasn't the pilot of the Gundam also called the White Devil by Zeon?"

Eli had no intention of hiding anything and explained this not-so-good title to Shirou Amada.

"Ah, is that so? But it is true. Since it is a title given by the enemy, it can be considered a compliment to us, right?"

Shirou Amada believed this from the bottom of his heart.

Even though he has some feelings for someone in Zeon, he still considers himself a soldier of the Federation.

"Haha, that's true."

Eli, who didn't take this title seriously, smiled easily and leaned back in his seat.

He looked at the handle on the side of the operating table, where a photo was clipped.

They are the original family of this body.

After saying this, the communication fell into silence again.

"By the way, Lieutenant Amada, you told me before what I would do if there were good people among Zeon."

Shirou Amada was stunned when he suddenly heard Eli's question.

But he soon realized that he was continuing a conversation that had been interrupted by the guerrillas.

"I think that if there really is a good person in the Zeon army, then he should leave Zeon."
