Chapter 72: First Contact with the Klein Faction (1)
United States of South America, capital - Brasilia.
A huge concert that has aroused national controversy has opened at the largest venue in the city.
The three girls of the Valkyrie shined on the stage as the protagonists of the concert, and several famous South American singers were invited to take turns as guests, which pushed the atmosphere of the concert to the top.
In the VIP box, Yura watched with satisfaction the enthusiastic response of the audience.
Seeing that Yura was very satisfied, Kiyoshi, who was in charge of the concert affairs on the side. Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he is still better at things in the financial field, but this matter is personally ordered by the boss, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.
"It's very good." Jura patted Kiyoshi on the shoulder appreciatively, "Mentor Marchio and I still have some things to do later, and the rest of the performance will be left to you." ”
With that, Jura left the venue and sat down in Barry. The car he was driving, by the way, is now Yura's personal bodyguard.
A month ago, Marchio was commissioned by Uzmi to come to the United States of South America to lead the line for the energy agreement.
Yura, as the designer of the "Dawn" and a member of the military, was sent to accompany her as a bodyguard.
As for the agreement, it has to be said that Marchio has a huge influence in the religious circles, and the religious circles in South America have great energy in this country.
Therefore, the negotiations have progressed very smoothly in the past month, and the two sides have basically signed a letter of intent for cooperation.
During this period, some businessmen with a keen sense of smell even approached Yura, the designer of "Dawn", and offered to cooperate, but Yura repeatedly refused.
The reason is that South America does not have its own rail elevator, and if the construction period of the rail elevator is calculated, the country will be taken over by the Atlantic Federation by the time it is completed.
Even so, Jura still became the darling of the South American social scene during this time, in addition to his identity as the designer of "Dawn", the identity of the future son-in-law represented by Orb also helped a lot, and at the same time, he was strongly recommended by Marchio's mentor, so Yura made many friends with South American elites.
Speaking of which, thanks to some training from his father Unat, he was able to be at home in social situations.
The three girls of the Valkyrie group were sent as part of the cultural exchange, which can be regarded as the icing on the cake for the exchange and cooperation between the two countries.
The car drove all the way to a luxurious estate in the suburbs, owned by the largest grain exporter in South America, a devout believer, and nominally Malchio's godson.
When he learned of Mentor Marchio's arrival, he immediately gave up the estate to Mentor Marchio, and moved to another residence for himself and his family.
Today, the manor secretly welcomes a great man from heaven.
Yura and Barry were led by the maid to a small room on the second floor, and they were surprised to see a pair of men and women looking wary at the door.
It was only natural that the big man should have someone in charge of security even if he was traveling secretly, and to Yura's surprise, the man and woman who were in charge of the ban at the door.
Andrew. Barterfield, and his wife, Aisha. Trein.
Yura didn't expect to meet the tiger couple in this situation.
But it's understandable to think about it, after all, Tiger may be one of the few Kleins in the ZAFT.
"Sorry, this is a necessary security measure."
As he spoke, the future ZAFT star began to search for Yura and Barry's weapons, and the tiger at this time looked serious and serious, without the cynical feeling in the original book.
In this way, there is no doubt that the great man in heaven must be the one.
"Rude, please come in."
After confirming that there was no problem, the tiger stepped out of the way of the door behind him.
It was tempting to stop and get close to the other party, but Jura knew that now was not the time to do such a thing.
He led Barry into the room, where a tripartite of personnel was seated, representing Siegel of PLANT. Klein, the godson of Malchio, who represented the South American government, and the mentor of Malchio, who acted as an intermediary.
The topic of discussion between the three parties was the secret import of grain from South America to supply PLANT.
As we all know, although PLANT claims to be able to produce everything, the production of food is not allowed.
PLANT, which is obviously technologically advanced and has strong productivity, sometimes has to implement food distribution due to an inexplicable shortage of supply.
It's a ridiculous joke!
In this case, it is no wonder that resentment and hostility surge.
Restricting the export of food to PLANT is a means taken by the Security Council to control PLANT, and if PLANT wants to get rid of the oppression of the Security Council, then food is an important link that cannot be bypassed.
Therefore, the current speaker of PLANT did not hesitate to take the risk and secretly came to South America, hoping to secretly sign a grain import treaty with South America.
And the intermediary he passed through was Mentor Marchio, who had served as Lux's tutor, and it just so happened that this tutor was also in South America for Orb's affairs.
The mentor who had spent some time at PLANT and was in the same place at the same time in his heart naturally agreed to Siegel. Klein's request.
The meeting took place in the presence of Marchio's mentor, and Jura arrived to see the speaker arguing with the secret representative of the South American government over the price.
To be honest, he would not have wanted this agreement to be signed if he could, because food is now the only non-force means of controlling PLANT.
If food control is lost, it will almost mean war.
But Jura also knew that this was just wishful thinking.
The reason why South America is willing to sell food to PLANT is because they also have their own interests, and PLANT can just meet this.
Although such a big man seems to appreciate himself, he will not listen to the nonsense of his hairy boy in front of the interests in hand.
And PLANT is not without the ability to produce food, and the current agreement with South America is just a transition for PLANT to transform a grain satellite.
Besides, preventing the signing of this agreement is not the same as preventing war, so there is no need for him to do something that could upset his future allies.
Therefore, in order to gain the favor of the Klein faction, Yura had to vigorously support and facilitate this.
"Sorry for being late." Yura sat down in her seat, and then directly began to help the speaker lower the price according to the mentor's instructions, "If South America can't give a satisfactory price, then I think Oceania must be very eager to get the opportunity to cooperate with PLANT, just because I have some relationship with the people over there because of the energy agreement." ”
