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

Chapter 43 Request!

"Sir, without further delay, please put on this clothing and we will evacuate!"

As he spoke, Commander Eugen handed over a Zeon military officer uniform. The other members of the delegation also received the same uniform, but the size could not be guaranteed. Everyone could only coordinate internally and then put it on reluctantly.

"Commander Eugen, why can't we send troops to suppress it by force?"

A civil servant who was having trouble breathing because his clothes were too small asked dissatisfiedly.

"There are already so many Zeon civilians outside. Are we going to send the garrison in and start a massacre?"

The Minister of Military Affairs glared at his subordinates in dissatisfaction. At this moment, your life is in his hands, and you still dare to speak in such a tone? Didn’t you see that he was always polite?

"Why not? Since they dare to surround the federal delegation, they are no longer just a mob! The garrison should be dispatched with tanks, fighter jets, no, we should use Magellan battleships to bomb them!"

"That's enough, First Secretary Humphrey, now shut up, we should go!"

When everyone walked out of the building, the federal guards outside were lowering the flag. When the high-flying Earth Federation flag slowly fell, the crowd outside the manor immediately burst into thunderous cheers. They were celebrating.

When the convoy drove out of the manor gate, the Zeon people rushed forward and rushed towards the manor which was no longer guarded.

The gate of the manor collapsed in the crowd, and then countless Zeon civilians poured into the manor. They first looked everywhere for traces of the Federation people, but the manor was deserted. Not only the Federation delegation, but even the guarding Zeon police had left. After finding no targets to attack, these civilians shifted their targets to the facilities within the manor.

First, the windows, which dated back to the early colonial period, were smashed, followed by the door frames and other decorative items. During the riot, someone opened the cabinets, revealing the silver tableware inside, and then there was a scramble for loot.

The tableware specially used for federal officials was limited in quantity, and after it was looted, the civilians who got nothing turned their attention to other things that seemed valuable.

Soon, the entire manor was looted clean, including clocks, door curtains, and even tablecloths. Even the pots and pans used for cooking in the kitchen were taken away. Then, the Zeon people found a way to pry open the wall tiles and floor.

In short, when the civilians left the manor with their full loads, there was nothing left; even the flowers and plants in the yard had been cleared away.

Then, someone set a fire and burned the manor down.

Flames shot up into the sky, and Zeon civilians returned home with their cargo. Logically, that was the end of the matter.

But in reality, after the manor was set on fire, the gathered Zeon civilians did not disperse. Instead, many of them were aroused by the desire to destroy due to the rising flames, which released the darkness in their hearts. So, when one person stepped towards the city, the entire crowd began to move.

That night, the city of Zim did not sleep. After tasting the sweetness of attacking the Federation delegation, the Zeon people immediately turned their attention to the Federation businessmen or ordinary Federation residents in Zim City, as well as civilians from Side 2 and Side 5.

Because these people's lives are much better than those of ordinary Zeon people. Normally, ordinary Zeon civilians would at most curse them behind their backs when they saw them. But now, when a huge group of hundreds of thousands of people gathered, everyone had to do more than just curse them.

"What are you going to do?"

A sleeping Federation businessman watched in amazement as hundreds of Zeon people rushed into his yard and began to smash, loot and burn. He tried to stop them, but was surrounded by dozens of people and beaten and kicked. The staff and employees he brought with him were also brutally driven into the yard. Then, a so-called court that appeared from nowhere sentenced these Federation people and their Zeon employees to the crime of stealing property belonging to the Zeon people.

The Federation members were then captured, beaten, and thrown into the streets. Zeon employees, who had only sought to make a living, were branded traitors and hanged by the fanatical Zeonians in front of the burning mansion. Overnight, the Federation and pro-Federation residents of Zim City suffered an unprovoked catastrophe: their property was looted, their wives and daughters were raped, and their homes were set on fire.

In addition, some federal offices, representative offices, and even joint ventures in Zim City were also attacked.

Things have developed to this point and are no longer under anyone's control. The Speaker of the Federal Parliament and the President held a video conference with the Federal Army Command overnight. Regarding the vicious incident that occurred in Zim City, the Federation expressed its firm commitment to implementing a zero-tolerance policy.

For this reason, the president even sent a stern warning letter to Gihren, requiring the Zeon people to quell the matter within 48 hours, otherwise the Federation would take action personally.

Afterwards, the federal garrison in Side 3 entered a level one combat readiness state. Weapons, ammunition and protective gear were shipped out, and suicide notes and body bags began to be distributed. For a moment, the entire Guardian area was suddenly surrounded by a murderous aura.

The garrison was on high alert because the Zeon mob was not easy to deal with. Due to the Zabi family's frantic military expansion and preparatory military training, Zeon could be considered a nation of soldiers, and almost all adult males could use firearms.

Therefore, the federal army had to prepare for war seriously.

In addition, the garrison's tank units also received orders to move out.

In the Guardian Banchi, the only ones who were not in combat readiness were the military police and the trainees who had to stay there because the exercise was suspended.

"Your task is not easy either!"

Commander Eugen called John and Macharius to his headquarters.

"After the combat troops leave, the transport ship won't be able to take you back, so you'll have to stay here and take over my duties. But there's no need to worry too much. Besides you, there are also military police and other personnel stationed here, so there won't be any danger!"

"Understood. Then, Commander, may I ask you for a favor?"

"You said, as long as I don't bring you Killian's head, I have no problem with anything else!"

After the rescue mission was over, Commander Eugen was very fond of Macharius. When he learned that the other party wanted to serve under him, he patted his chest and said that all the tank troops would be led by Macharius in the future. So now, he nodded directly.

"Have the dispatched tank unit select a squad and spray-paint it with the Red Dragon Team's logo!"

Macharius said simply.

"What are you guarding against?"

Eugen's expression changed as if he suddenly understood something.

“Our neighbors!”
