An hour after Xiao Ran and others officially joined the battle, subcomponent Command Center received a report on the battle situation from the front line, because the war situation did not really develop in the direction previously imagined, even if more than With more than four times the strength of the Zeon Army, it has been less than twelve hours since the battle began. Almost every front is in a stalemate with Zeon, and many fronts have caused great losses to Zeon.
The Command Center branch was also extremely busy, and almost everyone was sweating profusely. From time to time, the attack there would be blocked by the Zeon Army defense line, and the front line here would be pushed back by the Zeon Army, or that unit would lose contact, and another unit would fall into the counter-encirclement of the Zeon Army.
When the message first reached Command Center, the person who received the message felt his heart sink when he heard the rapid prompts in his ears. He thought that bad information was coming from somewhere. But when he saw the content of the message, the messenger opened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the line of text in front of him in stunned silence.
With the help of Astray MS Battalion, the 32nd Armored Division broke through Zeon defense line in less than an hour of fighting, completely wiped out Zeon Army MS Unit and captured more than 5,000 Zeon Army officers and soldiers. It arrived at the target high ground and began to build defensive strongholds. Please immediately send troops to support the reception of prisoners, air-drop ammunition supplies, and wait for instructions on next steps.
"32nd Armored Division!? Are you kidding me? Astray MS Battalion?" The messenger took a breath, hurriedly took off his earphones, took out the printed note and ran towards his commander.
The officer was also shocked when he saw this message. However, as the director of the Command Center information department, he naturally knew more than the people below. He quickly started to retrieve the previous report of the 32nd Armored Division from his computer. When he saw that the 32nd Armored Division was still requesting for support and retreating, the officer calmly opened the support information about Astray MS Unit. A look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Astray MS Battalion actually destroyed all the Zeon mobile suits at that strategic point in such a short period of time. Astray...Astray? Is this the latest mobile suit developed by Anaheim Company that was circulated internally before? I heard that there have been several quarrels over this mobile suit from above."
"But this is too unbelievable. When all the fronts in the entire encirclement were at a stalemate and at a disadvantage, this team only needed a little time to break through the Zeon Army's defense line and achieve such results. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. There are people who oppose large-scale equipment for such a powerful mobile suit. What are those bastards who are living on it? If they had started preparing a month ago, today's battle would not be so passive."
The supervisor felt depressed when he thought about the requests for help and lost contact messages received by his branch Command Center. First, he ordered his subordinates to send congratulatory messages to the 32nd Armored Division and Astray MS Battalion. And let the 32nd Armored Division stick to the defense and wait for the latest order. As for Astray MS Battalion, this supervisor has no right to say too much. He must consult the commander before he can convey new orders to Astray MS Battalion.
Not to mention what kind of sensation Astray MS Battalion led by Xiao Ran started from that message, first it was divided into Command Center, and then it was passed to War Zone in a short period of time. Command Post even reached the ears of the highest Command Center and General Revil. In the shortest time, Astray MS Unit received the attention of the entire Earth Federation.
General Revil also patted the table happily when he saw the report. From the first day of the battle to now, the victory of Astray MS Unit was also the first victory of Federation in the entire Odyssey Operation. This victory brought not only a rise in morale, but more importantly, it allowed General Revil to see the important role that Astray MS Unit could play in this war and even future wars.
"This MS Unit has less than fifty MSs. I didn't expect that the MSs produced by Anaheim Company would have such combat capabilities. I remember this unit is Federation and The commander of the experimental unit jointly formed by Anaheim Company seems to be a major officer named Alex, right? This person is also a partner of Anaheim, and it seems that he is working hard to promote the mobile suit they produce."
"It's just that I'm curious, how can you still have such ability to command a small number of MS Unit and win in a head-on battle with Zeon? Is it because the mobile suit is too powerful, or is this person named Alex powerful?"
General Revil's adjutant looked at him smiling and thinking, and also smiled slightly and said, "Whether it is the MS that is powerful or the person named Alex who is powerful, powerful MS and excellent talents are the most lacking things for us Federation. I would like to suggest that the general continue to send this team to where it is needed, and we can also test whether this team is just lucky or really capable."
"That's right. The war situation is now at a stalemate. Although we are ready for a long war, if we can end the battle earlier, we can preserve more available power. Those who are capable must also bear more responsibilities, so let them continue to fight."
"If they can play a big role in this battle, it also shows that Anaheim Company's M1 Astray has merit, at least it is better than the Jim we hastily designed and manufactured. And that Alex, I just don't know whether he will choose to stay with the Federal Army after this battle, or resume his status as a partner of Anaheim Company."
The adjutant stood next to General Revil and smiled again, "Then it depends on General whether you are willing to spend a lot of money to keep him."
General Revil laughed loudly, "If you are truly willing to work hard for the Federal Army, it is completely worth paying a high price to win over someone with such ability and background."
Just after General Revil finished speaking, the adjutant also showed a smile, but there seemed to be other meanings hidden in this smile.
General Revil, as the supreme military commander of One Year War Federal Army, naturally knows a lot of inside information. Xiao Ran's identity cannot be hidden from him either, of course because of Xiao Ran itself is not kept confidential. This time Odyssey Operation can be regarded as an opportunity for Anaheim Company to promote M1 Astray to Earth Federation and conduct actual testing.
On the other hand, although General Revil is the highest military commander, he actually only has a great reputation and control ability within the military. He can be regarded as the highest representative of the military faction, but this does not mean that people from other factions have no regard for. General Revil has no idea in this position. Judging from the power struggle and corruption within Federation, there will be conflicts and fights even among people of the same faction, let alone people of different factions.
And General Revil took this position because of his excellent ability. He is a rare talent among the corrupt Earth Federation. He also sees the conflicts and problems between Earth Federation and Zeon very clearly, so he has always been While seeking to reform Earth Federation itself, it has also attracted a large number of people to follow. Such new reformers have also been completely sent outside the major factions with a long history, and they will also not know the real secrets about Anaheim Company.
Therefore, General Revil has no idea about the super Space Jump Engine that Anaheim Company took out against those seven people. This general who holds military power is secretly excluded from a certain circle. He does not know that in order to protect its own interests, that circle is also trying various ways to enhance Xiao Ran's status, so that multiple parties can jointly protect the huge interests from being interfered with by other people.
Xiao Ran naturally does not know that General Revil has begun to pay attention to him. Even if he knows, it is completely normal in his opinion, just because the combat effectiveness displayed by Astray MS Battalion is definitely unique among the current Federation. There is no other unit that can surpass the combat effectiveness of this team led by him, and all members are participants.
The battle that ended in forty minutes will definitely attract the attention of countless people, and Xiao Ran did not hold back at all and chose to fight with all his strength in a high profile. It is also destined that he will be the fastest among Odyssey Operation this time to be known to the entire Earth Federation, and this is exactly his purpose, to be noticed by more people.
After a battle, Xiao Ran also took a look at the mission completion. After defeating Black Tri-Stars, Merit Points gained a total of 6,000 points. In addition, the other machines defeated were less than 3,000 points. In this battle, Xiao Ran gained nearly 8,000 Merit Points. Contribution Points also had the same number.
The completion of the entire mission is only 10%. In other words, if you want to complete the mission, you have to go through at least five more battles of the same scale. Five battles of this scale do not seem difficult to complete in a battle involving millions of people.
Xiao Ran and others just rested for a while and waited for Transport Aircraft to airdrop supplies of ammunition. They once again received the order from Command Center. This time they were also going to the place where Federal Army needed the most support and breakthrough in the battle. The number of enemies they faced would be similar to that of the battle that had just ended, or even more.
Once again setting foot on the battle target, the mental outlook of the entire team has also changed dramatically from before. In the previous battle, even those participants who were worried and fearful have built up their confidence in themselves without losing anyone. Therefore, many people are eager to continue fighting and truly feel the fun of driving mobile suit battles.
