The reason also includes the fact that the mecha performance of Qin Tong and others is adequate given the previous warfare scenarios and the anticipated changes in warfare form by the Federation.
Even if the Federation had anticipated that the Empire's Royal Mecha Guards would appear, they didn't believe that adding an energy shield generator would significantly enhance warriors like Qin Tong with ace mechas.
Because mechas using energy shield generators cannot move when activated.
The combination of various reasons led to the strongest state of Xinghe Squad just being displayed being destroyed by the Empire's nuclear strike.
Some believe Xinghe Squad can't fight anymore, that Ji Xinghe can't fulfill his agreement with Ivanovic just now, but naturally, there are those who still believe they can fight.
