And if Lagna gave the Throne the next target, it's entirely possible he purposefully gave them one right next to where the HRL Gundams were located. After all, by giving the three powers Gundams, he was already planning to have them confront the CB and Throne so what difference does it make when it happens? Even just right away.
clearly you didn't read my post based on your comments here Kraco because I didn't simply state they couldn't move them in 3 days. Its the fact they went from nothing to having 10 battle ready mobile suits in under 3 days. On top of that they didn't even take apart one of the suits in order to check out the new technology which is the first thing any nation would do being 10 or 9 suits is likely to get the same results.

I'd take screen shots but I'm having issues with doing it from media player classic.

from episode 19
at 22:14 we see the back and sides of the room with GN drives we see the drives are all close together over little holes each the size of the drive and round. They are not attached to mobile suits.
at 22:19 we see a closeup and pan of the drives and still no frames or frame weapons in sight.
at 22:20 we see then entire GN drive from bottom to top and it is NOT attached to a suit and with how the walls are there is no magical adjacent room full of suits.

rechecking over it they do claim they came randomly came installed in mobile suits but...

in episode 20
at 7:02 of episode 20 we do see the GN drive being shipped with a mobile suit that it appears to just plug into the baco of but that suit didn't come from the same place they got the drive and it didn't come installed. The suit is of course MUCH larger then the drive and in no way fit in the room they got the drives from in episode 19.

Noting when they fight throne they suddenly have all GN weapons the only way thats possible is if they were given the suits and weapons as well. The question remains when and where did they get these suits as it wasn't Antarctica with the GN drives. Plus I find it VERY unlikely all 3 of the earth powers got 10 of the same suit just based on model kit sales I'd assume there are 3 new types of suits.

I'm sorry but that just feels rushed and I certainly feel we needed another episode and a time skip before this one took place it just feels like a episode is missing.
