Chapter 90: The Passage of Time
With this operation of the ZAFT Army, MS Jean appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time.
A mere twelve Jeans wiped out a detachment of the Council, and only three Jeans were slightly damaged.
This exaggerated battle loss ratio made people intuitively feel the excellence of the MS for the first time, and Colonel Halbarton of the Atlantic Federation's Fourth Space Fleet proposed to the upper echelons of the army a plan to build his own MS, but it was rejected because it touched the interests of existing weapons manufacturers.
However, Halbottom's Project G was secretly developed with the support of some visionary lawmakers.
However, due to the outstanding performance of ZAFT, the arrogance of the members of the Council was suppressed, and Speaker Klein took the opportunity to ask the members for full autonomy and reciprocal trade rights, which of course was rejected by the members of the Council.
However, so far, the two sides have been restrained, and instead of further intensifying the conflict, they have begun to quarrel with each other over sovereignty and trade.
During this period, Mentor Marchio left Orb several times to travel back and forth between Earth and PLANT to fight for peace, but did not achieve the desired results.
Jura continued to stay in Africa to concentrate on the construction of the miracle, and as the project progressed, a large amount of money flowed into Yura's pocket through the governments of both Africans.
However, during this period, after seeing off the Asuka brothers and sisters who had finished their vacation, he received another visitor from the Republic of East Asia, who was the illegitimate daughter of the Li family when the Republic of East Asia sent someone to buy the Airlord last time-Li Nalu.
Her purpose is to buy the Raptor from the Aurora Society, Orb's latest dual-purpose air-space fighter, through Yura's connections.
As a member of the Council, the Republic of East Asia has maintained the world's highest ranking in terms of land power, a ranking that has been made in the midst of a reorganization war against both the Equatorial and Eurasian armies.
Although the navy has the problem of being too fond of feathers and is ridiculed as having a fleet, the huge number of ships is there, and the combat effectiveness can still rank second among the three council countries.
However, in contrast to the powerful navy and army, the space fleet is backward, and it is undeniable that the East Asian Republic is the last among the three council countries in terms of size and combat effectiveness of the space force.
After the ZAFT Army demonstrated the superior performance and combat effectiveness of the MS Jeanna, the East Asian Republic also began to look for weapons that could fight the MS, and Orb's Raptor entered the field of vision of the East Asian Republic's military leadership.
The illegitimate daughter of the Li family in East Asia was entrusted with an important task again by the upper echelons of the military because she was in charge of the purchase of the Air Overlord last time.
You must know that the Raptor, as the latest cutting-edge fighter of Orb, is different from the Airlord and is not sold to the public.
After hitting a soft nail several times at Sahak's house, Li Nalu put her hopes on Yura, the designer.
At the construction site of the miracle rail elevator, Yura received this guest from all the way to East Asia in her office in her spare time.
is still the cold and glamorous beauty in military uniform in her impression, exuding a strong military atmosphere between her gestures, and her meticulous sitting posture is a little out of place in Yula's luxuriously decorated office.
However, Li Nalu didn't seem to take these things to heart at all, and just explained to Yura the sincerity of the East Asian Republic and the conditions it could provide, and then expressed her hope that Yura could help in this matter.
"If you are willing to contribute to this matter, the East Asia Li family will definitely not forget your help, and of course the price will definitely satisfy you."
Li Nalu paused and continued, "If you have any technology that you want to get from our side, you can also put it forward, everything can be discussed, and I will definitely convey your request to my country." ”
Yura crossed Jiro's legs and listened quietly to what she was talking about, and the absurd feeling that seemed familiar to her once again haunted her.
All right!
He admits that the young lady from the Li family from East Asia on the other side is indeed very much in line with his aesthetics in his previous life, but this does not explain his absurd familiarity with the other party.
Her instincts told her that the person across from her was supposed to be a key figure in the SEED world, but no matter how much Yura thought about it, she couldn't remember.
However, I have to say that because he was born in a flower family in his previous life, he does have an unusual affection for the East Asian Republic in this SEED world.
Moreover, on the issue of disputed waters last time, the Republic of East Asia clearly stood on the side of Orb.
Thinking that Orb may face the invasion of the Atlantic Federation fleet in the future, Yura decided to help the East Asian Republic in this matter, hoping to establish a good relationship with the other party through this matter, and maybe this friendship can play a certain role in the future "Orb Fall War".
After paying attention, Yura put away her Erlang leg and said to Li Nalu in a precarious position: "I have helped me with this favor, and I hope that in the future, when I need your help, the Republic of East Asia will not let me down." ”
"I am now here to thank you for your help on behalf of the East Asian Li family, Yura. Rome. Lord Ceran. ”
Receiving a satisfactory answer, the illegitimate daughter of the East Asian Li family had a rare smile on her face, this was the first time Yura had seen her smile, this kind of smile like an iceberg melting was no less powerful than Cagalli's sunny smile.
After a momentary loss of consciousness, Jura came back to her senses and said, "Forget it, just call me Yura, that's what my friends call me." ”
"Then it's better to be respectful, Yura."
Although she was a little stunned by Yura's request, she quickly became good.
A month later, with the help of Yura, the Republic of East Asia acquired twenty units of the Raptor from the Orb Dawning Society.
It should be said that it is worthy of being one of the members of the Council with deep pockets, the first batch of orders are almost half of the Orb Army's equipment, you must know that the back of the Raptor's excellent combat effectiveness is its expensive cost, and these twenty Raptors can build more than forty Mobius MAs in service.
As a result of this arms sale, the Orb government also began to establish some closer cooperation with the East Asian Republic through Yura.
At the same time, the Izumo-class battleship No. 1 was secretly built with the Akebono Society, and the module was brought into the universe through the Kaguya mass accelerator to complete the first splicing assembly, and then the Izumo was secretly moored in the Heavenly Pillar, and at the same time, ten Raptors were completed as the carrying aircraft of the Izumo.
Immediately after the construction of the second Izumo-class ship, the Grass Pheasant, began in a step-by-step manner, and Yura completed the first phase of the miracle project, and after explaining the next stage of preparation to her subordinates, Yura returned to Orb with the three girls of the Valkyrie group.
Because of some rumors, the Sahak family seems to have begun to secretly contact some officials of the Atlantic Federation, including Halbarton, who is known as the "wise general".
