Chapter 15 Return
After the mercenary group returned to the base, they took a short rest for a few days. Since the entire African continent is now in chaos, the mercenaries did not dare to take the money and enjoy themselves everywhere. They could only vent their excess energy in the nearby towns. However, ordinary soldiers could relax, but the officers and the squad did not have this kind of leisure.
The mechanics spent three days repairing the damaged equipment, and then pieced together a large number of parts that were towed back into a second GINN that could fight. Thankfully, the last sweep operation brought back two MSs with no damage to the cockpit. Then Brandt and a group of guys completed the broken parts, and the second GINN of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group was considered to be a pieced together.
In this way, the preparation class and the graduate school students worked hard for another four days before completing it.
"Have the pilot selected?" Rhodes looked at the 80% new yellow-green MS in the hangar. Since he found that the painting was exactly the same as ZAFT in the previous battle, and considering the hidden reasons, the two GINNs in the mercenary group were uniformly painted yellow-green. Both roaring silver giant wolf on the left shoulder, and then distinguished it with "01" and "02" on the right shoulder.
"There are several candidates who are still in the simulator training." Kloze Del, who was standing beside him, replied. This simulator was originally a simulator for armed helicopters, but MS driving training was carried out under the modification of the graduate school.
"Del, don't you try it?" Rhodes looked at the giant man beside him. He never thought that natural man driving MS would be much worse than coordinator, although the latter's physical fitness is indeed much better.
"I have to be responsible for the affairs of the combat team, so I have less training time." Klose is as rigid as most Germans, so he never thought of using power for personal gain and giving himself priority.
"Oh?" Rod frowned. He did not expect the officers to have such a heavy burden. But he thought about it again: "The affairs will be handed over to your deputy. I urgently need combat personnel now." He had an idea that after the mercenary group used MS uniformly to fight in the future, most of the personnel would have to turn to the logistics. After all, letting infantry use anti-tank missiles to deal with MS is not a solution.
"I understand, I will hand over the candidate list to you within two days."
Rhode nodded. It would be enough to use MS to fight in the future, or he was already thinking about the chariot organization in the elimination regiment at this moment.
Seeing Klose walk out of the hangar thoughtfully, Rhode remembered the problem of MS transformation, so he waved to Brandt, who was busy beside him, and the sweaty boy quickly ran to him.
"I have worked hard recently. After work, I went to Katharine to receive a bonus of 800,000 and then gave you a week's vacation." The mercenaries were all for money, so Rhode had to use bonuses and vacations to encourage these young men.
The boy smiled happily. His mother was seriously ill, so Brandt also needed money in urgent need.
"But there is still one job here." He gave a high bonus, and Rhodes also had to add some work.
"You said the boss." Brandt was more motivated to work after receiving the bonus.
"Well, after several battles, I found that GINN was a little problem. Here is a modification list. See how feasible it is." Rhode handed the list written in the past few days to the boy and said.
Brandt looked carefully, then thought about it and replied: "Increase the long-range firepower? I can try to install the 140MM main gun of the M-72 tank to GINN, and then reload it and change it to automatic mode."
"Can you use that 450MM rail cannon from Baku?" Rhode pointed to the broken Baku wreckage in the corner of the hangar.
"It's a bit difficult because the core components of the two guns are broken, so it's a bit troublesome to find a replacement." Although the main body of the electromagnetic gun on Baku's back was not damaged, due to the strong shock, the expensive precision parts inside were damaged.
Rhodes considered it for a while and said, "Then use the 140MM main gun." He mainly cares about logistics issues. The backup parts of these electromagnetic guns are not easy to deal with, but the M-72 tanks are different.
"Improved the universal compression battery reactor system?" Brandt shouted out in an exaggerated manner when he saw the second one.
"Yes, can it be done?" Rhode nodded. He really couldn't stand the lack of energy and the power would drop after three hours of high-intensity combat. Although charging was very convenient, he couldn't charge it on the live line every time.
"This is very troublesome. Even if we know that his structure does not have instruments to transform." Brandt smiled bitterly. If it were so easy, ZAFT would have changed and changed. He thought again: "But we can bring backup batteries, and the energy in the wreckage is quite good."
The next two are relatively simple. One is that Rod questioned that GINN's 75MM machine cannonballs stored too few, and Brandt quickly came up with a disc-type drum instead. The problem of equipping with a beam sword is that the double-headed light blade on Baku's mouth was transformed and used by waste.
"But this will affect the mobility of GINN, boss." Brandt simulated the performance of modified GINN in the computer and found that after full equipment, the weight load increased by 5%, and the movement speed on the ground was affected to a certain extent.
"It's okay, GINN's mobility on the ground is not good." Rhode grinned. Although he thought hand-to-hand combat was handsome, the danger and efficiency were far lower than long-distance artillery bombardment.
"This way, boss. I designed the 140MM shoulder cannon to be removable and can play a role in close combat." Although Rhodes didn't say anything, in the eyes of Brandt, a technician, this MS is very dangerous once it falls into hand-to-hand combat, so an improvement has been made.
"That's it." Rhode nodded, feeling that the creativity was quite good. He turned his head and found Teresa leaning against the door of the hangar to look at him. What was even more surprising was that the sexy Kathryn next to the girl was also there. Rhode was shocked, so he winked at Brandt, who had gone to work very tactfully.
"Oh, Laurenz, it's too boring for you to be busy with work like this... Didn't you expect to chat with a woman or something?" Seeing Rod walking straight up, Katharine greeted with a charming smile. People who didn't know the inside story thought they had a leg up when they saw it. However, everyone in the hangar knew the inside story. A preparatory officer raised his head and looked at it, and then retracted his eyes as if he was electrocuted.
Rhode felt uncomfortable when he heard the sweet voice. Although he felt a little itchy, he knew that the rose was very beautiful but had a lot of thorns. So he smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I would like to have time, but you also know that I am such a man." As he said that, he looked at the messy hangar.
"Oh, don't you even care about our beautiful girls?" Katharine smiled and pulled over Theresa who was at a loss.
"I'm not interested, and you're a little too free." Rhode said with a straight face. He seemed very dissatisfied with letting the girl run around freely. Although he wouldn't be locked at the bottom of the base like her captive compatriots, there should be basic restrictions.
"Do you think I really want to come up and see your bad face?" Teresa, who was flushed by Katharine just now, suddenly became angry. She had lived for so long and had never seen such an illiterate man. Could it be that this guy's mind was filled with shells? She thought to herself.
The girl's face turned red because of shame and anger, just like the beautiful rose petals.
"Well... don't do this. ZAFT has been contacted. Maybe you will never see Teresa from my house again in the future~" Katharine continued to quip. The sexy woman is different from Teresa, the girl. Every move is full of mature charm.
"I can't ask for it." Rhode replied with a sneer. The two women in front of him were pure and cute, and the other was charming and seductive, but they were not the objects he could touch.
Rhode never dared to devote his feelings to women, or the mercenary industry has been inseparable from women from ancient times to the present, and survived on a battlefield where the day was in danger. Even the minimum sense of security could not be brought to his lover, so he simply subconsciously kept a distance from the girl.
