Major General Bartram slumped in his chair, having lost the only trump card in his hand. He felt annoyed and didn't understand why his superiors were willing to place the nuclear bomb in the Bagen Fortress instead of the Barcelona Fortress Base. Then he could press the trigger to start the nuclear explosion and perish together with the enemy.

However, although Major General Bartram thought so in his heart, he did not have the courage to press the button to initiate the nuclear explosion.

Major General Bartram looked at the status screen and listened to the reporter in the command room reporting the current battle situation.

The MS troops of the Tianyi Mercenary Group have been advancing step by step, and the ground troops have also begun to invade the Barcelona Fortress Base under the cover of the MS troops.

The adjutant behind Major General Bartram reminded him that there was a regimental fleet on standby behind the fortress base, which could lead the friendly fleet to escape from the scene.

Major General Bartram nodded, and immediately continued to dispatch troops so that these troops could cover his retreat while resisting.

…

Lieutenant Britney looked at her handcuffed hands and looked up at the Warrior Gundam H.

Angelica looked at Lieutenant Britney at the bottom of the screen, then controlled the Warrior Gundam H to return to the scene.

"Stop looking and let's go." Britney was pushed from behind and, led by a Tianyi mercenary, walked into a prisoner tent. She saw many captured colleagues, some bandaging their wounds, some looking dejected, all squatting together.

Britney saw her former teammate and squatted beside him and asked, "Apart from you, are there any others?"

"Many are in other prisoner tents."

At this time, another male prisoner handcuffed walked in.

Britney recognized him: "Rand, you're still alive?" Britney couldn't believe that there was a fellow adjuster who was still alive.

"Britney, you can live, why can't I?"

"No, when I returned to the fortress base, General Bartram told me that you were all killed."

"In fact, I pressed the escape button before the machine exploded, but I was captured by the Tianyi mercenaries not long after I escaped."

Rand sat down next to Britney.

Some prisoners were talking in the tent.

"I really don't know how the Tianyi Mercenary Group will deal with us?"

"I just hope we won't be handed over to the guerrillas."

"If that's the case, I'd rather die."

"They are a group of barbarians, demons spawned by an evil regime."

Britney and Rand listened to the conversation between the soldiers. Rand whispered in Britney's ear, "I heard some conversations between the SkyWing mercenaries before. The Bagen Fortress was taken down by another fleet of theirs."

Britney looked at Rand in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that. If it was any other army, I really wouldn't believe it. But look at the Tianyi Mercenary Group. In just a few hours, the troops and defense systems outside the Barcelo Fortress Base were almost destroyed by them. In the end, almost all the troops in the fortress base went out. After a few hours of fighting, we were defeated. We were beaten back step by step by them. It's probably true that they took over the Bagen Fortress."

"Rand, how long do you think the fortress base can last?"

"If he could hold out for 24 hours, even if Major General Bartram is very capable, I'm afraid this guy would be preparing to escape now."

On the other side, Major General Bartram led the escape fleet to escape from the north of the Barcelona Fortress base.

While Major General Bartram was still able to command, he mobilized some troops to continue the resistance.

After the escape fleet had moved away from the Barcelona Fortress base, Major General Bartram gave up.

After losing the command of its commander, the Barcelo Fortress Base fell into a state of disarray, and had no idea whether to continue resisting or surrender.

Several Jet Guns were on the wide corridor, shooting at the enemy MS blocking their way.

Several electromagnetic gun tanks of the Tianyi Mercenary Group's ground forces fired several electromagnetic bullets that pierced the body of the Flying Cat MS, causing it to fall backwards.

As soon as the pilot escaped from the cockpit, a Tianyi mercenary pointed a rifle at his head. He had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

Many Tianyi mercenary ground combat teams have begun to control many facilities and control consoles within the Barcelo Fortress Base.

Many defenders in the fortress base began to surrender one after another.

When the combat team was in control of the command room, they found that the commander, Major General Bartram, had already fled. They used the radio and communication lines to inform the Metatron American Army who were still fighting.

"The command room is under our control. Your commander, Major General Bartlan, has already fled the Barcelona Fortress Base. You have been abandoned. There is no need to fight anymore. Surrender. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed. Those who give up resistance within five minutes will be treated according to international law. Those who still resist after five minutes will be killed without mercy."

In less than five minutes, the American army gave up resistance and announced surrender.

Brigadier General Andre, the commander of the fleet where Yue Yangchun was stationed, was arranging to take over the Barcelona Fortress Base, dispatching subordinates to deal with the surrendered prisoners, and looking at the incoming combat reports.

…

Britney and all her colleagues were loaded onto a military truck and taken to the Fort Barcelo base, where they were either detained in a detention camp within the base or placed in a temporary prisoner camp.

Britney learned from her colleagues who surrendered that the general had already fled with his cronies.

The military truck drove into the Fort Barcelona base, and Britney got off the vehicle in handcuffs and shackles like everyone else.

Britney and many of her colleagues were waiting on the lawn.

At this time, Britney and many of her colleagues exclaimed as if they saw children when they saw the Tianyi mercenaries.

Britney saw Angelica and a slightly older little boy next to them.

Rand, who was next to Britney, said, "I can't believe that the Skywing Mercenaries would send children to the battlefield."

"That little girl is the pilot of the Gundam."

"What!" Rand exclaimed, looking at Britney in shock, as if saying, you are kidding me.

Britney glanced at Rand and explained a little.

"The slightly older boy next to the little girl is probably also a Gundam pilot."

"Britney, I can't believe that we were defeated by a kid. Are the new humans you mentioned the same as us..." Rand looked at his colleagues nearby and found that no one noticed them.

Whispering beside Britney: "Are they really adjusted differently from those of us?"

"They should be different. The biggest difference is that we are man-made products, and they are natural products."

At this time, a mercenary major held a radio and said to the captives: "We will detain you temporarily and then hand you over to the guerrilla forces to deal with you."

The prisoners were now very agitated.

"You might as well kill us now instead of handing us over to them."

"I don't want to be tortured by these barbarians."

The mercenary major made a hand signal and the mercenaries fired directly into the air, immediately shutting up the protesting prisoners.

"You will understand why those guerrilla forces tortured you and treated you badly after watching these clips."

There were many three-dimensional projection screens on site.

The images on the screen show how the American army massacred local villagers and citizens of some towns in South America. Their methods were extremely cruel, and they even spared no children.

“We didn’t do this.”

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if there is any retribution, it should be those people. What does this have to do with us?"

“Why are they the ones who do the bad things and we have to bear the consequences?”

Another round of gunfire into the air, again to silence the prisoners.

The mercenary major continued, "No matter what the reason, in the minds of normal South American people, you are invaders."

Although Britney and Rand are coordinators, they have broader minds and understand more clearly than others. Wars are always instigated by those in power. No matter which side they are on, it is always the common people who suffer, and then the soldiers like them who fight on the front line. The sacrifices of these soldiers only achieve the achievements and interests of those in power.

No matter what, these soldiers fighting on the front line have to bear the anger of the local suffering people. The local guerrillas are composed of local people, and resentment and anger towards them are inevitable. They are just shields for their superiors.

Rand said: "We, the frontline soldiers, are the only ones who have to bear the wrath of the local people."

"This is just the helplessness of us frontline soldiers." Britney said helplessly.
