Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 38 Public Opinion Guidance
"Captain, the personnel have been organized!"

"Have all the banners and slogans been distributed?"

“It’s been distributed!”

"Well done, I'll give you a credit!"

Behind the parade, in a hidden alley, several capable young men with short hair were gathering around a rather dignified adult and reporting something.

"But if we do this, it doesn't seem to have much effect, right?"

A young man dressed like a factory worker looked at the crowd outside and put a cigarette in his mouth.

"Why do you say that?"

"Those federal pigs are inside the fence, protected by police, while the marchers are outside chanting slogans. Why don't they just plug their ears?"

"Then what else do you want to do?"

A companion beside him asked.

"Why don't we go in and light a fire?"

"That's right, just like last time, brothers can also make a fortune!"

"You guys have good intentions, but just stay still. If anyone dares to act recklessly, I will not let them off easily. The Führer's Guard doesn't need useless people who can't control themselves!"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Faced with the scolding of adult men, the young men lowered their heads without daring to make a sound, especially the guy who had just proposed fire prevention, who was stepped on hard by several people.

"Listen carefully, we've already done what we were going to do. Everything that happens next has nothing to do with us. We just need to find a way to leave!"

"But what if these people just disband without our command?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"No, there will only be more and more people gathering here!"

The grown man looked at the crowd gathering outside and smiled smugly.

That's right, this extremely quick parade was the work of the President's Guard, and even the collision incident that caused the conflict was planned by them. The mining ship was specially treated in advance and key parts were reinforced. However, the Zeon side did not expect that the small friction they had expected would turn into such a tragedy. A Federation warship directly collided with the port of the colonial satellite.

Although the port closed the airtight gate on the other side in time and prevented the explosion from spreading to the interior of the colonial satellite on the other side, it still caused the deaths of thousands of people including the federal army, port staff, and colonial communes. In addition, more than a dozen ships were damaged to varying degrees.

Even the ports of the colony satellites have been completely paralyzed and have completely lost their ability to operate.

Although the accident was a big deal, Killian didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, when it comes to issues related to the Federation, the bigger the better!

Not long after the explosion, the Imperial Guard in Zim City began to take action. They dispatched personnel to organize and incite people from all walks of life in the city. With the help of pre-arranged agents, they quickly organized a parade. However, the Imperial Guard's actions only stopped there, as the current situation in Zeon no longer required their guidance. The resentful people would vent their anger on their own.

So, when they gathered tens of thousands of people and started shouting slogans, other Zeon residents in Zim City had already begun to participate.

The first people to gather there were the unemployed Zeon residents. These people were inherently destabilizing factors in society. After all, once an adult with hands and feet, free will and a flexible mind did something, it would be difficult for others to stop him.

Moreover, because Zim City is not Zeon's industrial area, there are more unemployed people here, which makes it very difficult for them to receive relief under normal circumstances. Now, seeing the crowd gathered together, these unemployed people went straight in without asking any questions.

And when they learned that this was a protest against the federal sanctions and hegemonic behavior, they became extremely excited. After all, it was the damn federal government that destroyed their jobs. Now so many people gathered together just to curse the federal government. How cool!
The next people to arrive were students from various schools in Zim City!

These young people possessed a passion and enthusiasm not found in adults, and were easily incited. Like a powder keg, they were easily ignited. Remembering how their teacher had emphasized the conflict between Zeon and the Federation in their daily lessons, they immediately dropped their books, rushed out of the school, and joined in the commotion.

So, in the evening, there were only tens of thousands of people marching, but by night, the number of people gathered had grown to hundreds of thousands, and the sea of ​​people even blocked the nearby streets.

The federal delegation trapped in the accident was also in a bad mood at the moment, especially the Minister of Military and Political Affairs who was a brain full of breasts. When he learned about the accident, he had not even woken up from his hangover, forcing the deputy minister who served as his deputy to rush into the room to pull him out of bed.

"What do these damn mobs want to do?"

Seeing the dark crowd separated by the outer wall of the courtyard, the minister's tone changed slightly.

When he learned that these people had gathered because of the port collision accident, he became even more furious.

"When something happened at the port, they went to ask the garrison. Why were they surrounding us?"

"Mr. Minister, you are a high-ranking federal official!"

The deputy minister beside him couldn't help but remind him.

"Yeah, I'm a high-ranking Federation official, so you're putting me in a difficult position. I don't even know what's going on here. Shouldn't the Zeon people investigate first? Are the civilian ships that collided with our warships completely innocent?"

"Mr. Minister, now is not the time to talk about this. You have to make a decision on what we should do now!"

The entourage were also afraid. Although the manor where they were staying at the moment looked strong, even impregnable, that was only relative to the general situation. The manor was not only guarded by the Federal Army, but also by the Zeon Defense Force and police forces on the periphery.

Ordinary petty thieves couldn't get in at all, but now, those surrounding outside were not ordinary thieves, but a huge crowd that seemed to have no end in sight.

Although they are now blocked outside the door by the Zeon army and police and cannot move forward, it is also a question of how long these Zeon soldiers can hold out!
"Contact Zeon first. I don't believe that Gihren doesn't know about this huge incident!"

"We've already been in touch!"

"How did he say?"

"Lord Kilian is away, so only Prime Minister Dalcia can be contacted. However, he said this is a spontaneous act of the people, and they can't interfere!"

"Don't interfere! Contact the Imperial Palace and have the Zeon people find a way to disperse them!"
