Fang Zheng suppressed the Ryanfort Company, and the 4th Armored Division successfully suppressed the Black Dragon Pass. According to Lieutenant General Olaf, after they broke through the pass fortress, Marquis Rogner, who was in charge of guarding it, surrendered decisively. There were no casualties during the period. The only serious incident was that when breaking through the gate, a member of the Imperial Liberation Front who was operating a strange mecha appeared in the opponent's camp. The mecha he operated had strong firepower, making it impossible for the 4th Armored Division to advance.

In the end, it was Miss Nishizumi Miho who used some kind of "ping-pong combat" to attract the opponent's attention and then defeated the enemy with one blow, which was considered to be the end of the battle. However, the member of the Imperial Liberation Front was also quite stubborn. Seeing that the machine was destroyed, he actually blew himself up on the spot.

If Fang Zheng's original route had not been to attack from both sides, the 4th Armored Division might have been blocked here by his explosion.

After the terrorist blew himself up, Marquis Rognar surrendered decisively. According to Olaf, although the noble coalition army was led by the four famous families, the other three families were entangled in fighting for power and profit. Only Marquis Rognar was disgusted by such despicable behavior and passively cooperated, so he was kicked out of the core circle. Now he is in charge of Black Dragon Pass, which is actually a bit of a slacking off.

Princess Elfin naturally accepted the surrender of Marquis Rogna and made the matter public.

The surrender of Marquis Rogna naturally caused an explosive storm within the empire. After all, Marquis Rogna was also one of the four famous families. Now that one corner of the four famous families had collapsed, the coalition army of nobles finally felt a certain chill.

Now, after capturing Rune, the 4th Armored Division began to rest.

Just like Fang Zheng said before, the 4th Armored Division first received a notice from Claire, and then moved to the abandoned training ground overnight, thus avoiding the attack of the noble coalition army. In this case, the logistical supplies would certainly not be sufficient.

After capturing Shuanglong Pass, they also used the enemy's reserve materials for logistical supplies. Now... of course they have to repair them, but several tanks on the 4th Armored Division's side were severely damaged and were completely destroyed, so they can only replace them with new ones.

Originally, President Irina wanted to give the remaining mechas in the Ryanfort Company to the Fourth Armored Division, but was stopped by Fang Zheng.

"This kind of junk only looks new, but it's actually not very useful. Besides, we are in the civil war period now, and we don't have time to retrain the drivers."

Lieutenant General Olaf nodded repeatedly to Fang Zheng's words. He also felt that Fang Zheng's words made sense. Indeed, at the beginning, the 4th Armored Division felt it was difficult to deal with these humanoid mechas of the noble coalition army. For example, the opponent's body shape was flexible, and they had two arms that could hold up shields and long swords. It felt quite difficult to deal with.

But after experiencing several battles in a row, Lieutenant General Olaf felt that these humanoid mechas were just as Fang Zheng said, they were just empty shells with no real value.

Being tall meant that the target range was large. Now, Lieutenant Olaf had figured out a way to deal with mecha soldiers, one of which was to launch long-range artillery fire immediately after the enemy appeared in the visual range. If the enemy was a tank, he would definitely miss the target if he launched artillery fire from such a long distance.

But... who can blame those humanoid mechas for being so tall and big?

If I don’t hit you, who should I hit?

Also, although these mecha soldiers seem to be extremely flexible and fast in their movements, they are actually quite fragile. Perhaps in order to ensure flexibility, the joints of these mechas are very fragile.

So if we can't hit the target, we can just rush forward with a tank and make a strong collision. The enemy's broken armor is not as thick as the tank's armor, so we won't lose in a collision.

Moreover, the balance of the two-legged mecha is not very good. Even if the opponent raises a shield to defend, if you concentrate your firepower on the shield, the shock wave alone will be enough to knock the opponent to the ground.

So after several incidents, Lieutenant General Olaf, like Fang Zheng, no longer had a good impression of these broken mechas, thinking that they were just fancy paper tigers with no combat effectiveness at all.

If these broken mechas were really invincible, then the United Army of Nobles would not have been able to fight a tie with the regular army only now. Wouldn't they have swept across the empire long ago?

President Irina had no choice but to accept this. After all, the production lines were in this state now. Could she change them back?

However, after Fang Zheng learned about this, he went around the production line inside and out, and then built a brand new tank for the 4th Armored Division.

And in the opinion of Vice Admiral Olaf...

"This is really great, Mr. Fang Zheng!!"

Looking at the tanks shining with metallic luster under the lights in the factory in front of him, Lieutenant General Olaf's eyes lit up.

"This is the weapon we want!!!"

At this moment, in front of Lieutenant General Olaf was a pitch-black tank. From the appearance, it was slightly larger than the tank used by the 4th Armored Division. However, unlike ordinary tanks, it had two pairs of tracks. Like a guided vehicle, one pair of tracks was located in the front and the other pair was located in the rear. The tracks at the rear were slightly wider, wrapping the tracks in the front.

In addition, the tank's gun body is also quite unique. Unlike ordinary tanks, it does not use a cylindrical barrel, but a rectangular flat muzzle.

However, what excites Lieutenant General Olaf even more is the powerful firepower displayed by this tank!

Not only can it fire horizontally like an ordinary tank, it can even fix itself in place, then lift up the gun and transform into an anti-aircraft gun to fire on the spot! !

This is actually similar to the two railway guns in the Galleria Fortress!

Of course, in terms of power, this small tank is not as big as a railway gun, but the problem is that there are so many of them!

Think about it carefully. If the 4th Armored Division is equipped with hundreds of such tanks, they can first hold their ground and transform into anti-aircraft guns to carry out a comprehensive bombing on the target position. When the enemy comes over, they can transform back into ordinary tanks to attack them head-on... Wow, such a good thing, how can those humanoid mechas compare to it?

"Mr. Fang Zheng, this is really great. Please be sure to equip our Fourth Mecha Division with it! This... what is this called?"

"Type 95 siege tank."

"That's right, the Type 95! This is the equipment we should have. It's much better than those fancy mechas!"

Seeing the shining eyes of Vice Admiral Olaf, Fang Zheng nodded secretly. He originally didn't plan to take it out, but after seeing the actions of Director Haider, he decided to teach these guys a lesson. That cowardly guy was so arrogant because of a broken mecha that he felt like he was going to the sky.

Can Fang Zheng tolerate this?

Of course not!

He must pull the aesthetic taste of the people in this world back from the distorted humanoid mechas, and tell them that big cannons and huge ships, multiple rivets and steel torrents are justice and truth!

You know, even in the mecha world where Gundams are everywhere, the Chinese Federation turned the situation around under Fang Zheng's vigorous reforms and started to manufacture VF series fighter robots - this was Fang Zheng's last compromise, he would never recognize humanoid robots!

This is just like the multi-turret party and the RPG party, the sweet tofu pudding party and the salty tofu pudding party. There is no middle ground in the route dispute!

Although Lieutenant General Olaf was so excited that he wanted to change all the equipment immediately, President Irina finally had to tell him that even if Ryanfort worked all day without sleep, only four Type 95 siege tanks could be put into production in the first batch. Fang Zheng suggested that Nishizumi Miho and others be responsible for driving these tanks.

Lieutenant General Olaf did not hesitate and quickly agreed. After all, good steel should be used on the blade. He also knew how skilled the girls were in operating the tanks. Rather than leaving his subordinates in the dark, he might as well let the girls demonstrate to them. Moreover, with this kind of tank, they would probably become even more powerful, and it would be easier for them to move forward.

"I say, Mr. Fang Zheng, is this okay?"

Looking at the jubilant Lieutenant General Olaf, Alyssa couldn't help but pull Fang Zheng aside and ask in a low voice.

"If you give this good thing to the Empire, what will happen to Crossbell? Aren't you afraid that after the civil war is over, they will use this to deal with Crossbell?"

Originally, as a citizen of the Empire, Arisa should not support Crossbell's independence. However, during her study abroad in Liberl, she became good friends with Ellie and heard a lot about Crossbell from her, so Arisa didn't have any special thoughts about Crossbell's independence.

"That's it. It doesn't matter if they know everything. They can use it however they want. It's all the same to me."

Fang Zheng was not too anxious about Alyssa's worries.

Are you kidding? Do you think the swarm of insects I raised underground in Crossbell was for nothing?

If the Empire really dares to commit suicide, Fang Zheng guarantees that they will be even worse off than Mengsk in Augustgrad. By that time, Fang Zheng doesn't mind performing a "Heart of the Swarm" opening CG for them - of course, he won't be doing the hard work.

However, attacking the Zerg is only the last resort. In fact, the Third Fleet of the Blue Fleet floating in the sky is enough to give them a hard time.

If the Empire had any sense in its head, it would not want to mess with Crossbell again.

"Oh... that's good."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Alyssa nodded, then she was stunned for a moment and spoke hurriedly.

"I, I'm just worried about Ellie. I'm asking because I'm afraid something might happen to her!"

This should be said by Qiya. Her Shanayin said this in a very familiar way. Little girl, you are still a little bit lacking.

Hearing Alyssa’s not-so-skilled arrogant tone, Fang Zheng chuckled, patted her head, and sighed at the same time.

"You've grown up too..."

"Um???"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Alyssa looked at him in confusion, while the latter stared at the girl in front of her.

"I still remember that when you first traveled with us, you were just a skinny little kid, but now you've grown so big."

"Of course I will grow up too."

That's really... awesome!
