"What? Odyssey Operation will be launched on Zeon in three days?" Xiao Ran looked a little confused when he heard the news from Cardias, maybe Xiao Ran does know a lot about the Gundam world, the animated plots, characters and hidden elements about giant robots, but that doesn't mean that Xiao Ran must know everything about it, there are always things he can't remember.
"That's right." Cardias nodded and smiled, and said, "This is your best chance to join Earth Federation. This battle is code-named Odyssey Operation. The main purpose is to recover important minerals from Central Asia and Western Europe. Resource points, overturning the balance of the Europe front in one fell swoop, Federation requested that M1 Astray be put into the battlefield in this battle to actually test M1 Astray's combat capabilities."
"Recapture the resource points?" Xiao Ran squinted his eyes and recalled something from his distant memory, "It turned out to be that war. Black Tri-Stars appeared and fell. Federation first joined Jim and fought against Zeon for three days and three nights."
"Let us invest in M1 Astray? Ha, testing is one thing, but some people should think that we say M1 Astray is so powerful that they can't stand it." Xiao Ran laughed disdainfully and said, "If that's the case, then agree to them, and we will send MS to participate in the battle, but even if we participate in the war, we can't join in for nothing."
"Tell Maxi that they can either hire us as mercenaries or set up a special operations force through special recruitment. Command Authority will be responsible for us ourselves, but all the consumption will be borne by them. I think it will be okay for the seven of them to work together."
Cardias poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip slowly, and then said slowly, "I think so too. I will take this opportunity to let you join Earth Federation and gain an independent Command Authority of a team. E, improve your reputation in the Earth Federation Army as much as possible, and have followers who are loyal to you to gain your own right to speak in Earth Federation, which is more reliable than any collaborator."
"In this case, the time to insert into the battle situation needs to be carefully considered." Xiao Ran also had a smile on his lips and asked, "How many machines are currently available for use."
"If we can't gather the number of a brigade in such a long time, Anaheim Company will have no meaning of existence." Cardias laughed loudly and said, "After the start of mass production and the transformation of the production line, now The speed coupled with the transformation of Customized Mecha is already the limit of productivity. However, starting from this month, the production speed will be greatly increased after the production line transformation is completed, and we will be able to produce approximately 300 units per month with all our efforts."
"It's quite a lot." Xiao Ran shook his head. Now Anaheim Company is not the Big Mac that it was later. But with the full support of the seven people at Earth Federation, earth-shaking changes have taken place in this short period of time. The output of three hundred units a month may be insignificant in the current world war situation, but for Anaheim it is an amazing result.
As long as the funds for 2,000 M1 Astray arrive, Cardias will soon begin to acquire other arms industries on the moon, continue to expand production capacity, and ultimately complete the delivery of 2,000 M1 Astray within three months. However, even if Earth Federation does not place another order, Cardias will also start to acquire other arms industries. This cannot be relaxed.
"The special machine and the three bodies are all finished." Xiao Ran stood up from the chair. During this period, Zechs was in charge of all the MS matters. So although Xiao Ran knew that the special machine had been manufactured for some time and the three bodies were also being modified, it was not clear to what extent.
Xiao Ran stood up. Cardias naturally knew what it meant, so he stood up as well. While preparing to take Xiao Ran to see those machines, he said, "It's done. It's just the right time. Fortunately, I have been focusing here just enough to participate in this battle."
Xiao Ran nodded, and left with Cardias to the underground warehouse where dozens of units were currently placed. Except for three Gundams, there were only twelve special-purpose units that were actually produced. They are said to be special units. In fact, Astray was mass-produced and equipped with different weapons. This Astray is not M1 Astray, but C-class mecha Astray.
Xiao Ran has the most detailed drawings and data of all the produced airframes and weapons. According to these drawings and data, as long as the industrial level is good, Anaheim Company's technological strength can be completely copied in one month. Among them, the body used by Naluo is Blue Astray Type 2G, and has Beam Cannon and Sniper Type backpacks.
There is also a miscellaneous type used by Zechs, equipped with G Fortress thrusters to obtain high propulsion capabilities, a cannon hung on the waist, and a Beam Gun in the hand with similar firepower to the Assault Type body.
The pure fire suppression type of El-Elf, in addition to the G Fortress thruster with the highest propulsion capacity, it also has two waist cannons, two shoulder electromagnetic guns, and a large Beam Cannon in its hand.
Saki Maski's Melee Type is equipped with the Tactical Composite Weapon System L model, which is the standard configuration of Beam Rifle Beam Sword.
The bodies of the three are all modified from Gundams. The armor has been drastically changed so that the original appearance cannot be seen at all. All interfaces have been replaced with the standard interfaces of Astray. In terms of energy, Thermonuclear Energy Engine has been added to the backpack as the main energy supply, basically giving up the effect of Minovsky reactor. The propellers have all been replaced and no longer rely on fuel for propulsion.
In view of the driving style of *** and other Skull Squadron members, all aircraft are equipped with air combat backpacks. However, this backpack is not an ordinary backpack, but the IWSP equipment that originally belonged to Blue Astray. According to personal habits, the Gatling Shield on the arm was removed and the hand-held weapons were changed.
Among all the machines, only the Xiao Ran machine is the most complex. Because Xiao Ran can use too many attack methods, it must be more armed than other machines. Therefore, when the Xiao Ran machine was built, almost a hundred people did not count the various equipment that surrounded it all day long.
For this battle, the backpack IWSP backpack installed on the Xiao Ran body used three thermals and Energy Source Engine for energy. Just like Skull Squadron and others, the thrust of the three engines was enough to support the body's ability to convert long-term gliding into flight. No changes were made to the complete IWPS equipment.
The really complicated thing is another backpack. In the initial idea, Xiao Ran thought that Main Mission Three would participate in the final Battle of Solomon, so people also prepared Dragonfly equipment of Blue Astray for themselves, and this Dragonfly equipment is the most suitable combat weapon for Xiao Ran in the universe. In addition to other weapons, Dragon Fang is mainly used for attacks. However, because there is no relationship with Solar Furnace, IWPS will be used as a supplement to deal with possible ground battles.
Because Dragon Fang is not used on Earth, the pre-made IWPS backup backpack comes in handy.
It is worth mentioning that all the aircraft in this warehouse are equipped with PS Armor.
Xiao Ran took a serious look at the machines standing in front of him. Including the three modified Gundams, they seemed to be upgraded versions of the M1 Astray series. As long as they showed strong power in this battle, they would definitely attract attention from all aspects. The AE-0 was sent to Anaheim Company's exhibition hall as an exhibit to be lined up forever.
"Where is Transport Aircraft?" Touching the machine in front of him, Xiao Ran nodded with satisfaction and looked at Cardias.
"Five units have been manufactured for testing, and I can give them all to you this time." Cardias raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran's Black Astray over and over again. He also felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. The strongest series of aircraft produced by his company far surpassed those of this era. That sense of accomplishment filled his heart.
"Prepare the logistics personnel and set off immediately. Complete all the procedures and arrangements before I arrive on Earth." Xiao Ran groaned and said, "In addition, after this battle, I will take my people temporarily away for a while to make some preparations. You can delay everything here as usual. It won't take long for me to come back, and I will come back with the strongest power of the Rebel Army."
Cardias's eyes moved, and he nodded and looked at Xiao Ran's leaving figure. Thinking about the strongest power Xiao Ran said in his heart, he followed Xiao Ran while taking out a communicator and starting to make arrangements.
All preparations for departure took nearly five hours. In addition to these dozen aircraft, there are also more armed and enhanced mass-produced M1 Astray to be handed over to the newcomers who are still on White Base. Five Transport Aircraft were treated as carriers and set off from the moon, with a transport ship in the middle.
On the first day, we met with White Base. We first announced the battle, and brought all the participants who had been impatient after the release of Main Mission Three, as well as Mi Lai and Frau, to the earth. The others were sent to Anaheim on the moon.
On the way, Xiao Ran also went to see Amuro and his father. Only now did Xiao Ran have time to see the strongest Newtype. He thought that Amuro and his father might be very decadent, but in fact even in Xiao Ran After left, Captain Jeffrey and Ozma did not forget Xiao Ran's instructions. They kept in contact with the two people with the help of Frau, and finally the young Amuro joined the rebel camp, which was a happy harvest.
When Xiao Ran brought Transport Aircraft and White Base together, Amuro was still driving Zaku II for MS training., there is no war, no death, no pressure. Under such circumstances, the relationship between Amuro and Frau has become deeper. Considering Amuro's playboy character, it seems quite normal.
However, even though Amuro had already started training MS, Xiao Ran still did not take him to the earth with him. Instead, he sent him to the moon with other people, including Amuro's father Anaheim, and also left a message asking Cardias to arrange for the white wolf Shin Matsunaga to continue training Amaro. Such a big killer Xiao Ran was not willing to be thrown directly into the bloody battlefield without any experience.
As for those participants, although Xiao Ran did not deliberately help them, at least it still provided a lot of convenience. They could temporarily obtain a body to participate in the battle without taking risks themselves. Although it was only the mass-produced M1 Astray, as for whether they could bring the obtained body back to Prometheus, it depends on the luck of the new participants.
When they were about to arrive on Earth, several Earth Force warships were already waiting for the arrival of Xiao Ran and others. At this time, Xiao Ran also put on the mask that he had taken off for a long time, hiding his true appearance under the mask. The person in charge of Earth Force who came to greet and guide the Xiao Ran Transport Aircraft team also seemed very enthusiastic after meeting Xiao Ran. It was not until the two exchanged a few words that they realized that the person in charge was actually a subordinate of one of the seven people.
As for the identity issue of Xiao Ran and others, it was also solved with the efforts of Cardias and the seven people. A special fleet was temporarily established. The fleet size is five battleships plus five Transport Aircraft provided by Anaheim Company. In terms of MS, they are all M1 Astray of Anaheim Company, which is the batch brought by Xiao Ran currently. In terms of number, it far exceeds the size of what can only be called a squadron, and is more than the forty-eight aircraft of a brigade.
Under the joint command of Anaheim Company and Earth Federation Army, everyone including Xiao Ran will be incorporated into the Earth Federation Army, and Xiao Ran will be given the rank of major. The five warships that came to greet this time will become the subordinates of Xiao Ran in the future, including a flagship.
Throughout Earth Federation, there are currently many people who have high hopes for this special fleet. Many people expect this fleet to achieve outstanding results in order to obtain future benefits, while some people hope that the benefits can be redistributed through the rise of Anaheim Company.
Only a few people know that there are more things in Anaheim Company's hands, and they try their best to support and favor Anaheim to make Anaheim Company stronger, so as to avoid being plucked by more powerful people without the ability to protect themselves when something that can bring greater benefits is announced.
But only fewer and fewer people know what Anaheim Company really wants to do, and these people continue to make Anaheim Company more powerful, and even have their own power in the military. Thanks to the efforts of many people for various reasons, the current results have been achieved.
As for Earth Federation, by giving up five battleships and some military positions with the highest level of major, Earth Federation got a team with extremely strong combat effectiveness. This business is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
