The Federation thought that the Unified Army would manufacture a large number of Ms to expand the army because that was how they did it. They built the cheapest Ms to equip the entire army with the least cost. However, this was also because the Federation Army was too large. However, the Unified Army did not do this at all because Xiao Ran had never thought of ending the Federation in a head-on battle. No matter how many soldiers there were, it was meaningless.
The internal structure of the Unified Army was still very simple at the moment. At present, all the forces only gave and did not ask for anything in return. The Moderates had so much money that they could not spend it all. Anaheim had money too, and they even had all the industrial foundation needed to manufacture the Ms. Not asking for anything in return did not mean that there would be no return. It was just that all the rewards had been set aside after the Federation was dealt with. At that time, Xiao Ran would definitely give his supporters the most generous rewards.
Moreover, Xiao Ran did not plan to start manufacturing more Ms on a large scale to equip the entire army. In Xiao Ran's opinion, it was more practical to manufacture a special machine than to manufacture a hundred standard mass-produced machines. After all, whether it was a D-grade or C-grade machine, once most of the parts were mass-produced, the cost would naturally decrease.
If one were to calculate, for example, if a standard M1 Heresy needed one unit of money for a D-grade machine, then two units of money could be used to manufacture a C- Heresy Gundam during mass production. In addition to the various weapons and equipment, it would not exceed four units of money at most. Under the control of a suitable pilot, a C-grade Heresy Gundam with backpack weapons would not be able to deal with three or four D-grade machines.
Of course, the things produced by Anaheim were completely self-produced and used. There was no technical cost at all, only labor and resources. Although one unit of money could not support them for too long, it would not take too long to deal with the Earth Federation. As long as this batch of machines was completed, they could immediately begin to focus on attacking the Federation Army. Although the number would be less, the original military strength of the new Guyon and the Federation was not just for show.
The practicality of a C-grade machine was also far greater than that of a D-grade machine. In terms of combat power, it was even worse. In the face of a true ace pilot, as long as a D-grade mech did not accumulate to the point of a qualitative change, it would always be a small fry. One or two battalions of D-class mechs could not withstand the ravages of Xiao Ran or Cruzet at all, and could be easily dealt with in a short amount of time.
However, if it was a C-grade mech, the same number would cause Xiao Ran and Cruzet to be even more cautious. They would not choose to bombard their way through, wasting their time and energy. The danger he would encounter would also be far greater than when he was dealing with a D-class body. If he was not careful, he would also put himself in danger. Just like when Xiao Ran was in the Gundam SEED world, he drove a C-class body and defeated a pseudo-B-class body together with Nigor.
Xiao Ran had never considered the Federation as his real enemy. Now, the Federation was at most a stumbling block in his mission. He just had to spend some time to get rid of it or kick it away. His real enemy was only the world intruder that was still unknown to him.
Xiao Ran did not know what the world intruder was, but he also knew that the world intruder was definitely not an enemy that could be defeated easily. Since it was an army mission, it was an enemy that could only be dealt with with with the army's scale at the very least. Since that was the case, then no matter how many D-class mechs were created, they would only be characters that could be sent flying with a single slap from the world intruder. No matter how many small fries there were, it would be meaningless to deal with a truly high grade mech.
If small fries were really needed to contain the earth's power, after the Federation's Unified Army was truly eliminated, there would be too many small fries to count. What was the use of making them now? Therefore, this batch of more than 300 Special Mechs would become the main force of the Unified Army.
Under the leadership of Law, the R&D department of Anaheim mainly produced this batch of C-class Special Mechs, but they also produced about a hundred D + class mechs, but even if these mechs were only D + class. Compared to the C-class mechs, they were definitely more useful.
The Special Mechs were made for ace and elite-level pilots. Although there was no PS Armor, there were two Dragon Knights equipped with M-communicators as a standard configuration, and then equipped with different weapons and backpacks. If there were only two Dragon Knights, then there were only two. An ace pilot could also operate normally with the help of a computer. If there was a pilot with talent in this area, or a pilot with the ability to identify space, naturally, more Dragon Knights could be installed.
The D + class mechs that were produced were also of the Heresy series. The skeleton used was completely the skeleton of the M1 Heresy, but the armor was very different. The coverage ratio of the M1 Heresy Armor was not small, but these D + Heresy Armor had a much larger coverage ratio. The edges and corners were all modified to be more rounded, and the cost of manufacturing them was equivalent to the price of a C grade Heresy Armor.
Because these D + class mechs were all equipped with the mirage system, once used, the mech could completely disappear from the radar from the naked eye. Of course, Law, who had the technical data of the Golden Heresy, could rely on the power of Anaheim to recreate them in this world. Although these mechs were all D + class mechs, these hundred mechs would also play a huge role in the next operation.
They would be used to infiltrate the enemy rear of the Federation, attack targets, eliminate important targets, and destroy the interior of the space fortress, and other important tasks. The effect they could achieve was definitely not less than the effect of Xiao Ran's B-class mechs. Because of the special nature of these mechs, there was no need for ace pilots to pilot them. Some elite pilots with special skills were the best choice for these mechs.
And in order to give these mechs more privacy, and to allow them to gain a certain degree of speed while invisible, Rogan installed particle storage tanks on all these mechs. Although the particle storage tanks were only of standard size, it was enough to support a mech through a battle. After all, the stored particles were only used for movement and concealment.
Because of this batch of mechs, although Xiao Ran and the others had confirmed some important military targets of the Federation Army, and even the important reason why they did not do anything to the Federation Army, all the remaining mechs with solar furnaces were basically used 24 hours a day to recharge the particle storage tanks. It was not enough to fill a hundred of them, so they had to recharge more particle storage tanks so that during battle or when there were no more solar furnaces to recharge, they could be handed over to the mechs to replace them.
If it were not for this reason, perhaps Xiao Ran would have already taken the Milky Way Gianna to attack the space fortress of the Federation Army. Of course, if these mechs were completed, it would be very convenient for the next operation, so it was completely worth it to waste this little bit of time.
All the special mech pilots, as well as the mech pilots named the Phantom Heresy, were all selected. At this time, they had already gathered on the moon and were undergoing daily training on the new mechs. Once the mechs went offline, then the operation against the Federation would officially begin.
A month passed just like that. With this month's time to relax, the Federation Army had also slightly reorganized. Facing the Skeleton Squad, the Cruzet, and the Frontier, the Federation had also toughened up. Some of the battle-ready units had also clashed with the Unified Army no less than two hundred times on Earth and in space, causing a certain amount of casualties on both sides. It was only a matter of time before an all-out war broke out. Even Xiao Ran and the entire Milky Way Gianna had gone to war no less than ten times in space in this month's time, wiping out several fleets of the Federation Army and once again weakening the strength of the Federation Army in space.
Compared to the one-sided situation in space, the conflict on Earth was quite worrying. The whole Earth was basically divided into two camps. Under Rabier's efforts, the Unified Army on Earth had once again greatly expanded. Every day, countless people joined the Unified Army's camp. There were also original Federation Army soldiers who announced that they would join the Unified Army, such as the unit that Shiro Amada was in.
Due to the unstable morale of the Federation Army, most of the troops and cities announced that they were leaving, so they took the initiative to give up a large part of their territory and began to shrink their forces. Every day, countless cannonballs flew in and out of the buffer zone between the two sides.
Most of the conflicts in this month's time were caused by the Unified Army discovering that the Federation Army had not completely retreated when they took over the territory. At the same time, there were also cases where Rabier and the Federation Army fought over strongholds that they thought were important.
After a month had passed, the Federation Army that should have retreated had all retreated. This caused most of North America, Europe, and Africa on Earth to fall under the control of the Unified Army. At this point, even Rabier's Earth Frontline Army would find it extremely difficult to take another step forward.
Because Earth was just too big, the entire Frontier, Cruzet, and Bassac were too busy to take care of everything. They had not had a good rest for a while. If they continued to suppress the Federation Army, Rabier was worried that a full-scale war would break out prematurely. So, he simply learned from the Federation Army and strengthened the line of defense, firing from the buffer zone to reduce the losses of their forces while waiting for Xiao Ran's support.
Rabier was already aware of the situation with the Phantom Heresy. At that time, he had asked Xiao Ran to make more of these mechs. As a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, he was fully aware of the changes these mechs could bring to the battlefield. An invisible ambush, an enemy hidden in the shadows, would definitely bring a huge blow to the Federation. It would also cause the current war system to change drastically. (To be continued.)
