"Yes, Captain! Ah, no, it's Paul."
Maria called me captain in an imposing manner, but she realized that she called me wrong again. When she called my name again, her voice suddenly became so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Alright, don't be nervous. I won't blame you. That Fett, don't always be silent!”
After entering the hall, our people immediately came up to us and led us to the location of the delegation.
"Welcome, Plant's hero, Paul. Griffin. "Caragali, who was wearing a military suit, saw me coming in and took the initiative to reach out her hand.
"Thank you very much. Her Royal Highness was also a brave warrior who personally piloted the Ms to intercept the nuclear bomb in the last war! I hope you can visit our PLANT.”I reached out and shook her hand. This was the first time I met Caragali in real life. According to my understanding when I watched the anime, she was also an idealistic peace-seeker. However, she later understood the importance of power and often acted on her emotions. Later on, she was as obsessed with politics as Lux. It was just that she did not have Lux's popularity and political skills. After understanding the importance of the country, she could also make personal sacrifices for the stability of the country. It was just that her sacrifices were a little meaningless. Fortunately, Kira saved her from the wedding scene.
"Then please take a seat!" Caragali made a gesture of invitation, and the internal affairs staff next to me pulled Ozon away. A chair beside Councilman White.
After I sat down, Maria and Fett were arranged to sit not far behind me. Representative White handed me an electronic board. I took it and quickly flipped through it. I couldn't help but curse in my heart. This board actually requested Aubrey to reduce the number of Ms and provide military technical support. It even suggested that Aubrey be stationed by ZAFT. How could the military send such an idiotic plan? It could be said that none of them could be implemented. No matter how he looked at it, Aubrey would not agree. Who would give up their own strength for no reason and hand over their home to others to guard? If ZAFT was stationed here, if Earth Corps attacked, ZAFT wouldn't have invested much in this small country. In the end, it would still be occupied by Earth Corps.
I didn't speak for the rest of the discussion. I listened to the two representatives and the other important members of the department and the leaders of various parties in Aubrey talk about the impossible conditions and constantly make changes. Even during lunch, we still didn't manage to negotiate any conditions. After lunch, I wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, but as a military representative, I couldn't escape at all. Moreover, someone from Aubrey's headquarters took the initiative to talk to me.
I understood our final request from Senator White's hint. We were just using these requests as an excuse to not let the Regulators who took refuge in the Plant return. The Natural Humans who fled to the Plant were sent back to Aube. To be honest, we didn't dare to leave any unstable factors in the Plant. In fact, most of the Adjustors were disappointed with Aubrey. There was no Adjustor in Aubrey's upper echelons, and Aubrey's original philosophy had also hurt them. Almost no one was willing to return to Aubrey, just like a flying bird. This was the typical example of someone who hated Aubrey.
Since I understood our intentions, I simply handed this task to the eloquent Maria and let her talk nonsense with Aubrey's generals. Meanwhile, I sat at the back and started chatting with Fett in a low voice.
The three-day interview ended very quickly. Aubrey did not put forward the request of returning the regulator who was stranded in the Plant in the official contract. Of course, none of the requests on the electronic board that Senator White gave me were realized. Aubrey was not stupid enough to accept my unreasonable request. The things they signed were basically civilian technology cooperation, cooperation in building new satellites, and trade terms. There were no military-related agreements.
After the official signing of the contract, Aubrey held a grand cocktail party. I left halfway through the party. Maria and Fett followed behind me because Andrew was the only one who had left. Bartfaer motioned for me to follow him.
I walked out of the reception hall and went around the building. A limousine was waiting for me. When I approached, the back door opened. The dim lights could not hide Lux's dazzling face. I didn't expect her to be already waiting in the car.
"Oh, long time no see. Miss Lux is more charming than before. Her figure is also much more voluptuous. Oh right, Kira. Yamato, I still want to worship this god who doesn't kill on the battlefield.”I asked Maria to go up first, and I sat between the two women. Although the car was relatively wide, the two women who sat very close to me for the first time were a little embarrassed, but more of their energy was attracted by the singer in front of them. The car didn't start, Andrew. Bartfaer is waiting outside. It seems that Lux plans to talk to me here.
"Kira happened to be busy."
When Lux saw that I had brought the two girls with me, something strange flashed across her eyes. I didn't know what she wanted to talk to me about. She actually sent Kira away and didn't want anyone else to know. I simply hugged the two girls and used my actions to tell her about my relationship with the two of them. I meant that I didn't have to avoid them. Then, I looked at her provocatively. Even Kira avoided me. This meant that she didn't completely trust Kira. The two girls struggled a little before obediently leaning into my arms. They shyly buried their faces under my armpits.
"What a pity. I think his driving skills can be considered the best in the world. He is indeed the strongest regulator that Dr. Xiang created with his own child.”Although I said that, I no longer felt envious. As long as I was serious, I would be better than Aslan, who had lost her seed. It was just that I didn't show it usually. If I had more time, I would be better than Kira, who had lost her seed.
Lux looked at me in surprise, then thought of Aslan. She asked me in a questioning tone,"Aslan told you, right? You guys have such a good relationship.”
"No, I have my own channels. I know a lot of things better than Aslan. For example, the Archangel is hidden in Aube.”
"Many people can guess that. What do you think?”
"Yes, then let's not beat around the bush. Why did you call me here? Although I can't think of anything to talk about, you definitely won't come to me for a chat.”Tsk, this girl's political skills are too good. I was at a disadvantage when I first brought up the formal topic, but I can't just waste my time with her, right?
Lux smiled. I'm fine, but the two girls in my arms were stunned."Well, I want you to investigate the current Speaker. Our people took a few photos.”Lux took out an envelope from her handbag and poured out a few photos. She pointed at the scar on her face and Gilbert. The man who shook Delandal's hand said,"This man is former Speaker Patrick. He gathered some warriors after the war. The families of these warriors died in the incident of Julius 7, so I suspect that they will take action. If Delandal meets with them, he might be able to provide them with help. I'm worried that their actions will bring the next war to Planet.”
"There's actually such a thing? I don't have the authority to do so, but I'll inform my father and the others to investigate. He didn't expect Klein to have someone with the Speaker. Miss Lux, I don't care what you want to do, but I'll give you a piece of advice. When you're thinking about the PLANT, don't focus on the present and cause damage to the long-term interests of the PLANT.”F * ck, Gilbert. Delandal had already started Project Destiny. I wouldn't tell Lux that they were preparing to push down half of the Julius 7. This was also the result I wanted.
"You're building your happiness on the suffering of others. Because of the war reparations, the economy on Earth is in a depression. Don't you see that there are many poor people on Earth who don't even have enough to eat?”
"This has nothing to do with our PLANT. Before we, the Adjustors, existed, even in the most prosperous places on Earth, there were beggars. Now, their rulers are not helping the poor, but exploiting them more strictly for their own luxury life and the creation of war machines. Half of the war reparations that we will receive have been spent on various poor areas on Earth, so what you said is completely unreasonable.”I'm telling the truth. Do you want us to raise civilians for the federal government, and then they'll use the money to make Ms to attack us? If Lux keeps talking like this, I'll have to argue with her again.
"However, this conflict will be intensified and used by them to turn into hatred towards the regulator. In the end, a war will still break out with the Plant.”Lux refuted unwillingly.
" You mean that because my attitude was too unyielding, the signing of the Julius 7 treaty made the Union's days difficult, so the commoners of the Union didn't live well, so they were incited by the Union to kill us Regulators? What kind of fallacy was this? Could it be that if the commoners of the alliance lived well, the alliance would not start a war? Did the commoners who joined forces before the last war not live well? Then why did they throw a nuclear bomb at Julius 7? If they were not doing well, who was the one who caused it? Could it be us, the Regulators? Fighting with the Plants was just a way for the higher-ups to shift the internal contradictions. They exploited the civilians and enjoyed a luxurious life. Then, they discovered the dissatisfaction of the civilians, so they told the civilians through the fishing boat that this was the reason for the Adjustors, so they wanted to eliminate the monsters in the sky. The commoners were the easiest to incite. The jobless people would think," A regulator has done the work of the three of us, so of course I would lose my job. The Adjustor is very handsome. My girlfriend ran away with the Adjustor, and that was also the Adjustor's fault. The men at the ball were all circling around the women of the regulator. No one asked him to dance. Of course, this was the fault of the regulator. Therefore, with the support of these civilians, war inevitably broke out.”
In my understanding, the war between the Alliance and the Plants broke out like this. As long as the common people had enough to eat and wear, how many people would be willing to fight? It was because they were oppressed to the point that they were ready to rebel. Unfortunately, the Union had targeted the Plants, giving the civilians a place to vent. The Plants were wronged. A small number of Adjustors on Earth had indeed taken away some people's living space, but what did this have to do with the Plants that were suppressed by the Union? Just because Plants were all Adjustors? That was why the alliance's policy of obscuring the people was very effective. It turned internal contradictions into external contradictions and stabilized their regime very well.
