Skywing Mercenary Group invaded Marco Polo Fortress's army lines and released the news that their commander had died in battle.
This caused Marco Polo Fortress's entire Dion army to fall into greater panic.
Many Dion Empire supreme soldiers would rather die in battle than surrender.
On the contrary, those soldiers at the bottom (mainly from slave status) do not have the Dion Empire supremacy idea. They just want to survive and are unwilling to obey the orders of death battle issued by their superiors.
In order to make these lower-level soldiers submit, the superiors directly shot these lower-level soldiers who did not obey orders.
Although it made some low-level soldiers submit, it caused more low-level soldiers to resist.
Marco Polo Fortress Civil strife broke out in the warships.
Tols drove Penelope Gundam and launched Homing Missile to shoot down many enemy planes. Its total height of 26 meters attracted the attention of surrounding pilots.
Both the enemy and ourselves felt how huge this Gundam was.
Penelope Gundam was recently developed and manufactured last month, and Long Fei was handed over to Tols for driving.
Tols led Ferocious Hound Squad to suppress Marco Polo Fortress.
Although Penelope Gundam looks huge, it has excellent mobility, moves quickly, and dodges countless attacks, even if a beam of light hits Penelope Gundam.
The flying armor component FF (Fixed Fight) of Penelope Gundam can also block beam attacks by relying on the barrier formed by Minov Particle.
Dion Army At this time, some warships raised white flags to indicate darkness. If Ms and Mobile Armor pilots saw their motherships raising white flags, they would stop fighting and abandon their weapons.
About an hour later, the Dion Army warships outside the fortress surrendered one after another.
When Skywing Mercenary Group and United Army invaded Marco Polo Fortress, the suppression force found that many of the Dion Army's own family members were beating their own family members.
This made all the suppression troops very confused, especially Skywing Mercenary Group. They felt even more confused. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation in so many suppression wars.
Some Dion Army found that they did not launch any attacks when suppressing the troops. Instead, they surrendered directly and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Major General Aixisi looked at the on-site shooting of the suppression troops and asked Salamander: "Lieutenant Colonel, what is going on here? Can you see the clues inside?"
"I estimate that most of these surrendered soldiers are Lower Citizen or slaves, especially those Lowly Slave. The ones who are least loyal to the Dion Empire are Lowly Slave. The Rebel Army were able to fight for so many years mainly because of these Lowly Slave's internal and external cooperation."
"Then do you think there are Newtype or Coordinators among these surrendered soldiers?"
"There should be, but it is estimated that there are very few. After all, Newtype and Coordinators have very high status in that empire, which leads to their hearts always having a superior mentality. If they always surrender to people they look down on, it would be a great shame and humiliation for them. It would be more uncomfortable than killing them. Instead of doing this, it is better to die in battle."
Marco Polo Fortress The offensive and defensive battle ended in about 12 hours.
Then about two hours later, Aixisi received Nameless Fortress and was also knocked down.
The biggest threat in Colonial Area No. 2 has been eliminated, and the remaining Dion Army in the area can no longer become a climate.
After the two fortresses were knocked down, the confidential information obtained allowed Skywing Mercenary Group and United Army to grasp the location of the remaining Dion Army.
It's up to the United Army to eliminate the remaining rats.
Aixisi's group left Marco Polo Fortress after a few days of repairs, and took away the Zeus Wall device despite United Army's protests.
Dion Army Skywing Mercenary Group didn't take many of the Dion Army's battleships, Ms, etc. Most of them were given to the United Army for research.
Skywing Mercenary Group and Dion Army have fought so many times. Skywing Mercenary Group will take away the remains when cleaning up after the end.
Part of the wreckage will be handed over to Decomposition and Restoration Metal Furnace at each base for processing, and the other part will be handed over to the decomposition and reduction subsidiary of Skywing Group.
As for the prisoners, some will be handled by Skywing Mercenary Group and the other will be arranged by the United Army.
In a Raibil battleship, Salamander, Li Xiucheng, and Aixisi were interrogating prisoners.
The prisoners who were questioned were not senior officers, but lower-level soldiers.
Salamander The prisoner in front of Bai said some secret codes and gestures.
The prisoner's eyes lit up and he immediately responded to the next sentence and gesture of the code.
Salamander asked the prisoner, "What is your name?"
"My name is Brooks."
"Has there been any change in the current structure of the military at the bottom?"
"Children born from Lower Citizen and Middle Citizen join the army. Most slaves like us are low-level soldiers. The same thing is that as long as they have military merit, it is easier for them to be promoted."
Li Xiucheng asked, "What if the children born by Upper Citizen and Special Citizen join the army, and if the children of nobles join the army, how will they be treated?"
Brooks replied, "Let's put it this way, no matter how good a slave's performance is during training, among the formal military ranks, he can only get the rank of private, middle and lower-class civilians, at least third-class privates, and some with excellent results can also get the rank of corporal, Special Citizen, although they receive physical training like ours, they also have special training. Generally speaking, when they graduate, they are at least corporals, and those with outstanding grades are directly second lieutenants. The children of nobles are almost the same as the children of Special Citizen."
Aixisi asked, "Do soldiers born as slaves get ahead?"
"Obviously, it is stated that slaves who have made great military achievements will not only be promoted, but their status as slaves will also be abolished, as Lower Citizen or Middle Citizen. However, in fact, no matter how much achievements a slave makes, they will be taken away by others."
Li Xiucheng said, "If you say so, wouldn't it mean that the lower-level soldiers among you, especially those who were born slaves, are being oppressed very miserably?"
"Yes, so among the low-level skills, especially those who were born as slaves, there is a desire to overthrow the empire in their hearts. Unfortunately, Rebel Army failed and all escaped from Mars. Many of the slaves who participated back then were eliminated, including of course many of our low-level soldiers."
Aixisi asked, "So your soldiers at the bottom no longer have any resistance?"
"No, everyone is actually waiting for the opportunity."
Salamander asked, "I guess the previous secret communications and some secret codes have been figured out by the Dion Army."
"Yes, we have also made some new codes and some new gestures, as well as some secret communication channels, so there are many secret communication channels. I have only mastered one. I don't know if Dion Army has mastered this one."
Salamander said, "It doesn't matter, can you give it to us?"
Brooks thought that Skywing Mercenary Group and Dion Empire were currently hostile, and decided to hand over one of the secret communication channels he had to the other party.
Salamander asked, "At present, the secret resistance organizations from the bottom have been integrated, or are they still as scattered as before?"
"Although some have been integrated, most are still operating independently."
Then, Salamander and his party questioned the low-level military prisoners, hoping to extract some information from them. For example, in addition to the secret resistance group of the low-level soldiers, there were also some external anti-Dion Empire organizations, and they also obtained several secret communication channels.
Salamander What he didn't expect was that many organizations were in disarray before he left.
