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

Chapter 66 Side6 Military Academy has started classes
Side6 Leah No. 9

The unlucky Julian once again carried his sister out of the house, but this time, before leaving, Mr. Chris called his child.

"Julian, Dad, we're going to do something very important. If we succeed, our world will change dramatically!"

"Then, then my sister and I won't have to go out anymore! Dad, you can stay by our side forever!"

The young boy Julian didn't understand what the earth-shaking changes meant. He just wanted to be able to have a reunion dinner with his father at home with his sister in peace, or to be able to complete the dictation homework required by the teacher with his father by his side.

When Chris heard what his son said, his heart suddenly felt sour, but then he hardened his heart and waved his hand, letting his son leave.

At this moment, although the appearance of his house was still the same, the interior had changed. The previously cozy home was roughly pushed open, revealing a door leading to the underground.

Then, the basement that had been sealed for a long time was opened again, and a large number of weapons and ammunition donated by Zeon were moved out one by one. These weapons had been well maintained and sealed before storage, and only simple maintenance was needed before they could be used.

Soon, the weapons hidden under the house, enough to arm hundreds of people, were delivered to the trucks waiting outside the house, and the members of the resistance organization also got on the vehicles and left, leaving only Chris and a few others to clean up the mess.

After cleaning up the remaining garbage in the room, Chris walked out again, and then he saw his son who had not walked far at all. He was holding a small piece of cake and teasing his little daughter.

Chris wanted to go over and hug his son, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by his companions.

"Let's go, Chris, Chairman Mark is waiting for us!"

So Chris had no choice but to turn around and get in the car with his companions and leave.

The surrounding neighbors had already noticed the situation here. Some enthusiastic people had tried to find out what happened, but were stopped before they could get close. So, they could only ask Julian after Chris left, but the latter knew nothing either.

"This Chris, why is he so mysterious!"

The bakery lady who often gave Julian cakes sighed.

"Yeah, leaving the child here again, this father is so incompetent!"

The neighbors didn't expect that they would see Mr. Chris, whom they thought was mysterious, on TV at noon.

After all, each side colony is home to hundreds of millions of residents, so naturally there is no shortage of various news and anecdotes. Therefore, the side colony also has its own TV station and its own channel.

And twelve o'clock noon is the time for the side noon news. During this period, everyone's favorite anchor Christine will wear a beautiful suit and report to everyone in a gentle voice on the latest news happening in the colony.

But when everyone turned on the TV as usual, what appeared on the screen was not the host Christine, but several burly men.

Behind them was a modified side6 flag. The flag had removed the Federation's star and crescent logo and replaced it with a red and black logo with a strong Zeon style.

In front of the flag, Chris, wearing a neat suit, faced the camera and slowly read out a statement.

"In view of the federal government's economic exploitation and political oppression of Side 6... we, the Side 6 Independence Organization, declare that we will overthrow the current corrupt and incompetent colonial government and establish a new autonomous government for us, the residents of Side 6!"

"what?"

"Why do I feel that this person looks like Mr. Chris?"

"I think so too!"

The neighbors didn't care at all what the other party was saying. They were still wondering whether the person on TV was Mr. Chris.

Soon, someone called Julian.

"Yes, it's Dad!"

Julian recognized the identity of the man sitting upright at a glance, and the neighbors were furious!
"Why is Mr. Chris here? No, what was he saying just now?"

"They want to overthrow the colonial government?"

"Mr. Chris rebelled?"

At the beginning, no one took the actions of the Rank Independence Organization seriously, whether it was the local colonial government or the colonial satellite security forces. There were many people who opposed the Federation these days, but many organizations were just talking about it, and they could be defeated by the local security forces alone without even the federal army being dispatched.

Therefore, Mr. Drubert, the executive chairman of the colonial government, simply gave instructions to his secretary in a very nonchalant manner.

"Let the Self-Defense Forces take action. I don't want to see these clowns anymore!"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman, I will call the Self-Defense Forces Headquarters right now!"

Afterwards, the local self-defense forces equipped with wheeled explosion-proof vehicles rushed towards the TV station building occupied by the independence organization.

The Self-Defense Forces did not take the enemy seriously. In fact, except for Side 3, the equipment of the Self-Defense Forces in other regions was no different from that of the police on Earth.

This is mainly because although the colonial satellite looks like a huge steel structure weighing tens of billions of tons, it is actually quite fragile. Once a certain part is damaged and the airtightness fails, all the people on the satellite will be doomed.

Therefore, the colonial security forces basically do not use heavy firepower and the like, and neither do the opponents they usually face. The protest organizations they usually encounter will at most throw Molotov cocktails or stones or something like that.

Therefore, the security forces dispatched used armored vehicles equipped with water cannons, while ordinary soldiers carried batons, shields, and a few shotguns loaded with non-lethal ammunition.

Once they arrived at the location, with water cannons to suppress the enemy, the soldiers only needed to form a shield wall and then hit the enemy's buttocks hard with batons.

But when the explosion-proof vehicle arrived at the location, the security forces soldiers realized that their opponents were serious!

"Shield wall, advance! Tear gas, fire!"

The commander looked at the sealed-off TV station building and ordered a violent attack without hesitation.

Then, the security forces in the front row formed a shield wall and began to advance into the building, while the soldiers in the back row fired tear gas at the windows of the building.

Then, as everyone was waiting for the people inside to be smoked out, suddenly, a figure flashed out of the window upstairs.

He was a member of an independent organization wearing a gas mask and carrying an anti-tank rocket launcher.

"Bazooka!"

The commander's eyes widened. How could such a lethal weapon appear in such a place? He yelled at his men to disperse, completely forgetting that he was also a very conspicuous target, especially since he was standing on the armored vehicle, ready to command from a high position. The next second, a rocket blew the commander and the armored vehicle into the sky. The explosion was a signal, and then more militants rushed out and quickly surrounded the security forces.

"Fire!"

The yellow bullet shell flew out of the Zeon assault rifle in the hands of the militants, falling to the ground with a trace of heat. The bullet, propelled by the gunpowder gas, easily penetrated the riot shield in the hands of the security forces and tore the flesh behind the shield.

In less than five minutes, these volunteers from the Zeon anti-Federation forces inflicted heavy casualties on the security forces. Those who were lucky enough to survive all raised their hands crying.

"These federal dogs are really not enough to fight!"

A big man with a ferocious face stepped on the dead security soldier, and then rubbed his face with his feet. Soon, the man's face was rubbed beyond recognition.

"That's enough, Kru! These aren't Federation soldiers. They're the security forces of the space colony. They're space dwellers just like us!"

Next to the big man, another young armed man interrupted the former with dissatisfaction.

"Like us? They are all inferior races!"

The big man was a loyal supporter of President Kihlen's theory of excellent human survival, and he looked down on the residents of Side 6 at all. As he spoke, the big man spat on the other's body and wiped the flesh and blood off his feet with his clothes.

"Damn you savage bastard!"

The young men looked at their companions' actions and were immediately filled with disgust. They were all active-duty soldiers of Side 3, but they took off their uniforms and became volunteers to help the independent organization under Kycilia's orders.

When the young man came here, he was full of ideals and wanted all the residents of the space to live a good life. But now, he found that many of the Zeon soldiers among the volunteers were just here to find a legal opportunity to kill people!
But the independent organizations didn't say anything, so he could only turn around and suppress his dissatisfaction!

The attack on the TV station was just the beginning. After they attacked the security forces that came to suppress the rebellion, independent organizations attacked the security forces on more than a dozen colonial satellites.

The security forces, armed only with light weapons, were no match for these professional Zeon soldiers who had trained for years. The latter used weapons including bazookas, heavy machine guns, and even explosives, and in less than two days, they completely wiped out the security forces on the colony satellite.

At this time, the colonial government realized with horror that these guys were actually serious!

The entire Side6 Lia colony has a total of about forty colonial satellites, of which only two are agricultural satellites used to grow fresh vegetables for the colonists. The rest are residential satellites. Now, nearly one-third of these forty satellites are controlled by independent organizations.

Then, Chris transformed himself into the Propaganda Minister of the Rank Autonomous Government. Still wearing the same neat suit, he sat in front of the camera and announced the news that the independence organization was going to independently establish the Rank Republic.

Then, almost as soon as Chris announced the news, the Principality of Zeon announced that it had recognized the existence of the Rank Republic and established diplomatic relations with it. Even before the government of the Rank Republic was fully set up, the Rank Republic's embassy in Zeon had already been established.

After the establishment of the Rank Republic, it immediately declared war on the Leah colonial government, stating that it would completely eliminate the government's lackeys who helped Zhou to commit atrocities.

When the news of Side's incident reached the Federal Parliament, the members of Parliament were dumbfounded. They had never imagined that the Side6 colony, which always seemed the most honest, would cause such a huge stir and give them a heavy blow.

"I remember that the Federal Military Intelligence Agency submitted a warning report to us a few days ago about an impending change in Side 6."

"The report is so ambiguous, who would take it seriously?"

"Now it's really happening!"

"Then go find those independent organizations. Why are you yelling at me?"

However, when the news reached the parliament, the MPs did not rush to discuss the issues related to side6. Instead, they began to shirk responsibility and prepare to find a scapegoat to take the blame for the incident.

"These guys!"

The Federal Speaker sat in the center of the parliament, rolling his eyes constantly. He wanted to discuss how the federal government should respond, but everyone ended up arguing, even arguing for the sake of arguing, and nothing useful could be put forward.

"I shouldn't have counted on these guys!"

Afterwards, the Speaker simply announced a temporary recess, and everyone could go back to their own homes. Then, the parliament, which had been full of tension, suddenly died down. The members who had just been ready to fight to the death left the parliament building arm in arm, discussing which trainee secretary to take to the golf course later.

Although the Speaker also wanted to help his new beautiful female intern who had just graduated from college to make progress, he had to finish the work at hand first.

So, when everyone else got into the car and left, the Speaker returned to his office. On the big screen in front of him, a group of cabinet staff and federal army generals were already online.

"So, how's the situation with side6?"

"It's still unclear at the moment. We can only confirm that Zeon was involved, but the Zeon side claims that those were their veterans who volunteered to go to Side 6 and were not officially sent there!"

"Damn Dejin, why is he everywhere?"

The Speaker pounded the table angrily and cursed.

"What veteran? Did Killian think I had Alzheimer's? They were the ones who sent those guys over!"

"But we have no proof, Mr. Speaker!"

"So what do you eat?"

Looking at his staff, the Speaker felt a headache.

"So, General Rebir, how are the federal forces preparing?"

"The Space Army is ready to set off at any time!"

"I understand. Once the council approves it, I will give the order immediately!"

"Will the parliament approve it?"

Rebil looked at the Speaker, who had the same white hair as himself, and then asked a question in return.

“I don’t know how bad it will be if we can’t get through this.”

After thinking for a moment, Rebir replied.

"If the worst happens, we'll have to face two Zeons! However, I don't think that's possible. Zeons haven't shown any desire for Leah's territory. They must have other plans!"
