Xiao Ran is willing to participate in Odyssey Operation not just because of Main Mission's request. Main Mission Three does not only limit participants to complete it in Odyssey Operation. It is also possible to sneak attack the military facilities of Federation and Zeon little by little after the mission is released.
The reason why he participated in this battle was because Xiao Ran wanted to gradually build up his own reputation and honor among the Earth Federation Army, which would eventually turn into the support and trust of the Federal Army soldiers in him, so that he could win the trust of the Federal Army in the company. After Original Constitution is completely opposed to Earth Federation, it can quickly gather a group of supporters with fighting power. Even if these supporters may only be soldiers at the bottom, the blow to Earth Federation will be huge.
Federation's Odyssey Operation plan may be confidential, but such a large-scale troop mobilization cannot be hidden from Zeon, not to mention the role that the spies deployed by both sides can play. Even if the true content of Odyssey Operation is not known, the attack target of Earth Federation can be completely determined, and Zeon is also ready for battle.
The time was getting closer to the battle time. Before the sun had risen, the first shot of the battle was fired on the battlefield. The gunfire initiated by Earth Federation was immediately met with a fierce counterattack from the Zeon side. The flames of the battle instantly illuminated the still dark sky. At the beginning of the battle, this battle, which involved more than five million people from both sides, presented an extremely stalemate situation. A tug-of-war situation had already emerged from the beginning.
Both Federation and Zeon were completely surrounded by artillery fire. Each tank only roared once before it was completely turned into a ball of flaming scrap metal. The bright Fire Snake flashed away in the sky because there were too many reasons, like countless meteors sweeping across the universe.
In the early stages of the battle, Earth Federation did not invest the few GMs currently available, and relied entirely on weapons such as anti-MS cannons to fight Zeon, which had mobile suits and solid defense facilities, with the lives of soldiers. Even though Earth Federation invested more than four million people in the battle, Zeon, which had only a quarter of its strength in the confrontation, was still suppressed to the point of no further progress.
The overall quality of the troops invested by Zeon is also much higher than that in the original plot. Some people who should have died at the hands of Amuro, and people who should have died in the confrontation with White Base, are all now Safe and sound, Ramba. Lal, Black Tri-Stars all appeared in this battle, and even Char, a person who should not have appeared in this battle, also appeared here.
Without the restraint of White Base, who was eventually angered because of Karma's death, Char would not have been kicked out of Zeon. As one of the pilots of Zeon Ace-level, it was natural for Char to appear in such a big battle with millions of people.
Karma. Zabi, who was supposed to be dead, also appeared here and became the supreme commander of Zeon. In order to protect the youngest son of Zabi family, he may also have the intention of once again letting Karma, a person with no dazzling achievements, establish the prestige and honor of Zabi family. Therefore, the number of MS invested by Zeon can be said to be much higher than in the original plot.
The battle started in the early morning and continued until the sun rose. Xiao Ran and his team members, who were unaware of the situation, had been watching the sky in the distance in the camp behind the battlefield, with the never-ending roar of artillery fire in their ears. Some of the new participants also felt a kind of pressure brought by the whole world during this night's battle. Some people began to frown, some showed worried expressions, and only a few people remained calm, indifferent and confident.
At this time, the Federation MS in the station finally started up. Amid the sound of sirens and the shouts of countless people, it took steps towards the battlefield in front of the desert step by step. In this entire station, there are only less than twenty GM Customs in total. Judging from the number of mobile suits in this station alone, the GM mass-produced by Earth Federation today may only be one that is not too many. In terms of quantity, in such a large-scale battle, each small battlefield may only be allocated about twenty Jims. More of them must rely on the huge number of soldiers, tanks and aircraft to win the battle with their lives.
At this time, Xiao Ran noticed that several people in the small camp specially prepared for them started to leave, and got up and headed in the direction of Transport Aircraft. After looking at these figures who left at the same time, Xiao Ran squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, and turned to look at Ozma not far away.
Ozma also stood up after lazily stretching, made an OK gesture in the direction of Xiao Ran, and followed those people unhurriedly. As a coach for new participants, he taught them how to learn mecha Piloting Skill's Ozma naturally doesn't know everything about the Learning Ability and potential of these participants, but he is quite clear about it. He can also tell from the daily behavior and personality habits of these participants whether a person has the potential to become a qualified warrior.
According to Xiao Ran's request, it was also one of his tasks to select some people with sufficient potential to invite them to join the legion. During this period of time, Ozma and others have been observing these participants, discarding some while leaving some behind. In just one night, Ozma finally marked these new participants with grades, whether they were qualified or unqualified.
There are less than five people in this group who can decide to go to Transport Aircraft for combat preparations when friendly forces start to attack, but they are the first batch of qualified people among so many participants. These people are calm or far-sighted, and of course they do not send people who want to make more preparations because of nervousness. No matter what the reason is, these people have also passed the assessment of Ozma.
Ozma followed this time just to send invitations to these participants. Although the remaining newcomers missed this opportunity, it does not mean that all the assessments have ended. If there is something outstanding in the subsequent actions, Ozma, who has a strong balance in his heart, will naturally send invitations to those who have passed the previous training.
A few hours passed again. Xiao Ran, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly heard hurried footsteps in his ears. He opened his eyes and glanced at the direction of the sound. Xiao Ran also stood up from the chair with a faint smile and walked directly out of the awning. The remaining newcomers and participants all stood up at this time, and their eyes were fixed on a paper document held in the hand of the visitor.
Ozma, who did not know when he had returned, and El-Elf, who had been staying in the camp to observe the other newcomers besides his own people, each selected the second batch of qualified people who could join the legion. This group of qualified people included people who could smoothly adjust their status in one night, and also included people who were more nervous and did not show enthusiasm and fighting passion until the battle was about to begin.
Soon these people will also receive invitations from El-Elf and Ozma, and become one of the people who need special care during the battle.
The hurried man stopped in front of Xiao Ran, saluted Xiao Ran with a military salute, and then handed over the document bag in his hand with both hands. "Major, this is the order to attack."
Xiao Ran nodded, took the document from the captain's hand calmly, and opened it directly without hesitation. After seeing the content above, the corner of his mouth hung up again, and he nodded and said, "I understand, attack immediately."
The captain officer nodded and left. El-Elf also walked to Xiao Ran and took the attack order handed to him by Xiao Ran: "Order the special MS Unit Astray brigade to attack immediately. We must arrive at the War Zone area before 1130. According to the battlefield report, the Zeon special force known as Black Tri-Stars appears on the battlefield. We must rescue the besieged friendly forces before 1230 and break through the Zeon Army defense line in the target area as much as possible."
After reading a lot of irrelevant words in the attack order, El-Elf briefly recited the order based on his own understanding. After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Even in this kind of battle situation, the attack order cannot be simple and direct. Don't you know that so many irrelevant words may cause frontline soldiers to misunderstand the order."
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "Exactly like this, even if the action fails, it can give those superior friends a chance to shirk responsibility, right?"
"Ha." El-Elf gave a rare sneer, and there was a sarcastic look in his eyes that was hard to see except calmness. After folding the attack order and putting it away, he said, "This battle should be a test of our combat power by Earth Federation. No matter whether we are strong or not, the final result will be good or bad."
"It doesn't matter, just fight with all your strength. If you can avoid killing, don't kill. We must also prevent Federal Army from killing other prisoners. The Zeon Army who were defeated by us today will be our soldiers before long." Xiao Ran patted El-Elf on the shoulder, looked up at the sky, and said, "Being strong enough will make people feel that we are invincible. Whether it is against Zeon or Federation, once this invincibility is established, it will be more beneficial to us."
"At the same time, it can really bring M1 Astray into the sight of Earth Federation. We can abandon the existing Jim and purchase our M1 Astray. This will delay the formation of the Earth Federation MS army, and it will also allow them to pay to produce the body we use ourselves. In the end, we will steal the chicken but lose the rice."
"Even if Earth Federation is afraid of us because of this, do we need to worry?"
