Chapter 558: Going as a Guest

A few days passed, and no large-scale battles broke out in the East Asian theater, but small frictions continued. Zeon's guerrilla forces occasionally came to the Federation's front line to fight, and the Federation did not dare to pursue them, and could only watch the enemy planes fly away in anger.

"Haha, what a bullshit ace force, it's just a gimmick made by Rebil. Colonel, I think we can take the initiative to attack and defeat Zeon!" A staff officer was arrogant after receiving the news that the front line had once again repelled Zeon's attack.

"All-out attack?" Ethan Leia was not overwhelmed by the good situation in front of him, and looked at it rationally. "Are you crazy? Except for the first time, has Zeon launched a large-scale attack?"

"This... doesn't this mean that Zeon's troops are stretched to the limit? Zeon has a sparse population, and so many battlefields have been opened up on Earth. This is normal, right?" The staff officer argued.

"So? Since Zeon has a small population, it will foolishly continue to divide its troops and send a bunch of stragglers to the East Asian theater to deliver food?"

"Colonel, this is normal, right? The One Week War, the Battle of Loum, the Odessa Operation... Didn't Zeon easily break through our defenses that time? It's okay for them to be arrogant in this situation, right?"

"Humph! You also know that Zeon easily broke through our defenses, why can't they do it now?"

"Isn't it because there are no colonels in those theaters? Otherwise..."

"Enough, get out!"

"Colonel?" The staff officer couldn't believe that his flattery actually hit the horse's leg.

"I really don't know how you became a staff officer. Take off your epaulettes and get out of my unit, right now!"

"Colonel! I..."

"Guards!" Without waiting for the incompetent staff officer to argue, he called the guards at the door and forcibly took off the staff officer's epaulettes, "Throw him out!"

"Yes."

"Colonel! Spare me! Colonel! Please let me go! Colonel..."

Ignoring the miserable plea, Ethan Leia stared at the battle map, thinking about Zeon's intentions and countermeasures.

"Colonel, Staff Officer Okamoto..."

"Hmm?"

"Don't dare!"

"Hmph! A guy who only knows how to flatter, how many of our soldiers will be killed by his incompetence?"

All the officers present bowed their heads in fear. They were Ethan Leia's confidants and knew Ethan Leia's character. In order to win and surpass Rebil, he would do anything. The dragged-away Staff Officer Okamoto might be a microcosm of their future.

"By the way, what is the 12th Independent Technical Force doing?" Ethan Leia suddenly asked.

There is no false reputation under a great reputation. Ethan Leia would not be so foolish as to think that Yang Hui and his men were a gimmick created by Rebil. First, the person who knows him best is his enemy. He has been fighting with Rebil for almost a lifetime and knows that Rebil is definitely not a person who likes to create gimmicks.

Secondly, the reputation of the 12th Independent Technical Force was earned through real fighting on the battlefield. Let alone the two great merits of "reversing the victory and defeat of the Middle East front" and "creating huge damage in the rear of the North American war zone, creating opportunities for the Federation to regain lost territory", just look at the number of kills of the nine MS pilots headed by Yang Hui to see a lot of things.

The number of kills is not just a matter of words, but is recorded by the MS system and then reported to the top of the Federation. It will go through multiple reviews and cannot be forged.

Therefore, although he does not get along with Yang Hui, he will not underestimate Yang Hui and hopes to find a clue from his actions.

"They are training in the rear."

"Training?" Ethan Leia asked puzzledly after getting the answer.

"Yes, training. The MS troops of the 12th Independent Technical Force are conducting flight training and underwater training."

"Flight training and underwater training?"

"Yes, not long ago, the 12th Independent Technical Force developed a flight backpack and a special underwater backpack for heretics, which enabled our MS to have the ability to fight in the air and underwater, but these two sets of equipment have not been used on the battlefield. I guess... they are familiar with the new equipment."

"What about our army's application for MS from the Gaburo base?"

When the heretic team was showing its might on the battlefield, all the bases of the Federation Army sent requests to the Gaburo base to equip MS at the same time, including Ethan Leia, but they were rejected one by one by Rebil. So until now, except for sending a small number of MS troops to attack when the North Mi war zone regained lost territory, the major war zones still have no MS troops.

"The Jaburo base replied that it has been put on the agenda. General Rebil ordered us to intensify the training of MS pilots and to form combat effectiveness as soon as the MS is obtained, but..."

"But what?"

"Given the relationship between Rebil and us, if we want to get the MS... it will probably take a long time."

"Impossible." Ethan Leia interrupted directly, "The old guy Rebil will not be confused about such things. Now the only ones who are still at war with Zeon are the North American theater and us. Even if Rebil wants to suppress me, he will not use the territory and soldiers of the Federation as bargaining chips."

"Yes..."

"Let's go to the base of the 12th Independent Technical Force." After thinking about it, Ethan Leia decided to see this famous ace force with his own eyes, and at the same time contact Yang Hui to see if he could learn something from him.

"What are you going there for?"

"To see the quality of the ace force."

"Understood."

...

Ethan Raya came to the garrison of the 12th Independent Technical Force with his adjutant and several guards, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not without reason that you can become a legend."

The reason for such a sigh was that Ethan Raya was stopped by the guards before he entered the garrison. After several inspections and interrogations, they were allowed to enter. Ethan Raya could see the toughness and iron-bloodedness in the eyes of the guards, and they were not shaken by their military rank.

The 12th Independent Technical Force can be called confidential from top to bottom. Such inspections and interrogations are normal procedures, and it is a direct unit, even if Ethan Raya is the highest commander of the East Asian theater.

After entering the camp, what I saw was a scene of enthusiastic training. Even if they were not MS pilots, or even just logistics personnel and technicians, they did not fall behind in military subjects and physical training.

And the MS troops... Ethan Raya didn't see them, because they were either in the sky or in the water.

Then... there was the huge warship docked on the ground, with its graceful curves and ferocious gun muzzles, which made Ethan Leia jealous.

"Colonel Leia, I'm Lieutenant Brad Noah, the trainee vice captain of the Luna, and I'll lead you on a tour." Brad Noah, the future legendary captain, has the nickname of [Lin Youde]. After being transferred to the 12th Independent Technical Unit, Baki Lulu saw his talent for warship command. After a month of internship as an ordinary crew member on the Luna, he was promoted to trainee vice captain.

"You've become a vice captain at such a young age? Young people nowadays are really amazing." Ethan Leia praised.

"You're too kind, it's all thanks to Major Yang Hui and Captain Baki Lulu's appreciation, I still have a lot to learn."

"Well, work hard, the future of the Federation lies in you." Ethan Leia said this sincerely, not hypocritically or to win over, but sincerely. Ethan Leia and Rebil have one thing in common, that is, they never hesitate to praise and appreciate outstanding young people.

"Yes, Colonel Leia, but I still need to remind the colonel that the Luna is a military secret of the Federation. You are not allowed to visit the interior, and the same is true for all the data of the Gundam Astray. Please forgive me."

"Yes, I understand."

The gap between the predicted analysis and the real data is still very large. Although the identities of Yang Hui and others have been exposed, the 12th Independent Technical Force is still a confidential force. The specific data of the Luna and the Gundam Astray are of utmost importance. Before the ban is lifted, even Ethan Leia has no right to view it.

"Please follow me, everyone..."

"Wait, before that, I want to see Major Yang Hui first."

"I'm very sorry, the major is now commanding the MS unit's exercise and may not have time to receive you."

"Exercise? Can I visit?"

"Yes." Brad looked normal at this time, but he was shocked in his heart, not because of Ethan Leia, but because Yang Hui had expected Ethan Leia to bring people to visit, and expected him to visit the exercise training, and told Brad in advance that he could take him to see the exercise training, but not to disturb him.

This is no longer a distant vision, this is simply a vision of the future!

"Well, lead the way."

"Yes, Colonel, everyone, this way."

Led by Brad, the group came to the command center in the center of the garrison. Before entering, Brad reminded them: "Please keep quiet after entering. During the training, the major does not allow any interruptions."

"Lieutenant, pay attention to your..." The accompanying adjutant and guards were already unhappy. With their identities, they had to be inspected and questioned when entering the garrison, and it was just a small lieutenant who came to greet them, which made them lose face.

"Enough." Ethan Lea interrupted and looked at the adjutant with a squint, "Guests should act like guests!"

"But Colonel..."

"No buts, don't forget that the land you are standing on now is all military secrets."

"Yes..."

"Sorry for the wait, Lieutenant Noah."

Brad still kept smiling, as if nothing had happened just now: "Colonel, you are polite, please."

"Please."

As soon as they entered the command center, the group heard Yang Hui's cursing and was stunned.

"Falcon 7, are you spinning in place!?"

"Falcon 8, did you forget the spiral maneuver you just taught yesterday? Are you using a straight line as a target?!"

"Shark 4, are you a coward? I told you to play hide-and-seek in the water, not to hide until you rust! Can't you see that all your teammates are almost dead?!"
