Chapter 25 Talks between the two governments

Inside the Confederation Government Hall.

This hall, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, is full of people at this time, and everyone is as irritable as if they have eaten gunpowder.

It's been almost an hour since the incident in Augulis, and the high-level members of the coalition government have quickly gathered here after receiving the news, and all kinds of information about the colonization satellite are all there.

The supreme leaders of the seven domains also held a secret meeting as soon as they received the news, and until now they have not discussed a result, and at the same time, the call request with the Supreme Council of the New Human Government Organization has not been responded to so far.

Everyone is as anxious about the current situation of the colonized satellites as ants on a hot pan.

Communication between the universe is not as convenient as on the home planet, and the current situation of the Coalition government on the satellite is only roughly known from the report of the colony satellite stationmaster, and the follow-up situation is still unknown.

Whether all the satellite migrants have escaped, how many people have been killed, and what the damage to important items such as new mobile suits and warships are all issues that people are currently focusing on.

Soon, news came from the satellite side again.

The Colonial Satellite Refuge Level was raised to the maximum, Ogulis split in tail under the second attack of the Jet Army, and the new battleship Shenzhou and the only surviving Guardian aircraft completely lost contact.

The only good news is that all the refuge ships have been successfully launched, and the number of satellite migrants killed will need to be counted to be known.

Hearing this, the hall exploded again.

The leaders of the Seven Domains were not calm anymore, and the talks changed in an instant.

"These new humans are crazy." Miller, the Minister of State of the H Domain, slammed his fist on the desk in front of him, and then swept his complaining gaze over the few people in front of him, "Look, what I said at the beginning, we can develop mobile suits, but we can't develop Gundam, you don't listen, and now something is wrong!" ”

After the establishment of the coalition government, the seven countries joined forces and temporarily abandoned the boundaries between countries, and the external unification was commensurate with the alliance government, while the internal division was still maintained, and the territory of the country of origin was still under autonomous management, and the unified management system was dominated by the prime minister, supplemented by six parliamentary ministers.

As the head of a domain, it is impossible to gather together in such a short time, so the meeting can only be used by video call, but everyone can still clearly feel the complaint in the heart of Minister Miller.

"Gundam Mobile Suits are the cause of war." At that time, the Minister of Parliament of the Yilan Domain, who also raised objections, was in line with the Tao.

"Two, as the head of a country, shouldn't we look farther away?" Sparks, the Minister of Parliament of the Bear Domain, couldn't stand it anymore, knocked on the table in front of him and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, what the two of you said is indeed reasonable, but have you thought about it in the future?" ”

"If the status quo is not stable, then what is the future?" The Minister of Parliament of Wawa was also on the opposing side at the time.

"Can you have a little ambition! What does it mean to be unstable? Did the enemy come in? "The Bear Domain is a region with strong folk customs, so Sparks is most unaccustomed to people who are afraid of doing things.

As a result, several parliamentary ministers couldn't help but start arguing again for a while.

In fact, when the development of new mobile suits and warships was first formulated, there was a fierce controversy among several parliamentary ministers.

The opposing side is naturally worried about the excesses of the new human government, after all, there is a lesson from the past of the Rim of the Ocean Federation Army.

But the arguments of the pro-side side hit the nail on the head and were convincing.

Why do they need to be afraid of the striking behavior of the new humans? Quite simply, because they are not as strong as others.

In an era of science, a powerful weapon is the best embodiment of strength, so the development of mobile suits is imperative, just like the original god-level alchemy magic weapon, whoever masters this weapon has the right to speak.

Combined with its own situation, it is obviously unrealistic for the alliance to gain numerical superiority, so it can only find another path and strive for excellence.

The Gundam Mobile Suit proposal resurfaced and passed by an overwhelming vote.

"Several, don't be impatient, now it's a meeting, not a child's quarrel, pay attention to your own image." Zheng Chengyi, the current prime minister of the coalition government, solemnly reminded him.

Then he glanced at everyone and continued: "The dispute between the two human beings must be very clear to each other, the threat of weapons is just an excuse for the new human race, even if it is not for this incident, this battle will still happen sooner or later, but a powerful weapon has a completely different meaning for us. ”

"I also agree with the Prime Minister, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and we in Bath do not want to suffer that kind of humiliation again." The Bath House Chancellor chimed in.

"I also agree that the problems between natural humans and new humans have not been solved at all, and once the new humans are fully developed and stabilized, it will be difficult for us to turn over at that time." Olivier Parliamentary Secretary also issued a personal proposal.

The other three parties immediately nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, the conflict between the two human beings was caused by the huge difference in ability, and after the new human colonization of the satellite, this serious problem was only temporarily alleviated, but it was not completely solved at all.

With the development of alchemy science and technology, the distance between human beings and the universe is constantly shortening, so the two major human beings have to face the test of this fundamental problem again, and because of the long-term disputes and grudges, the problem will only become more serious.

Therefore, the coalition government must not do anything that is tied to the neck.

"Minister Belfin is right, although the road to self-improvement is difficult, our faith will be stronger, so we must not admit defeat in this matter." Prime Minister Chung Seong-i once again made his position clear.

And his views were immediately endorsed by several other people to varying degrees.

Why hasn't the New Humans developed their own Gundam-type Mobile Suit? In fact, this issue has not been discussed by the human government, and the conclusion is that it is not necessary!

The situation of the new humans is different from that of the natural humans, and the environmental conditions determine their development, so on the premise of ensuring a certain military strength, they will invest more resources in the construction of colonial satellites.

If humans want to establish their advantage, they must before the new humans can completely stabilize their position, otherwise when the new humans also have the strength to develop the Gundam, the natural humans will completely lose their advantage.

The Allied government recognized this and resolutely launched the development of the Gundam-type mobile suit.

"Guys, let's talk about the colony first, what should we do next, and who is responsible for causing this disaster?" Minister Miller asked again.

"Nonsense, are we responsible?" Sparks snorted again.

At this moment, the phone in front of Zheng Chengyi rang, and he directly pressed the speakerphone.

"Prime Minister, the Supreme Council has responded and has agreed to accept the call."

"Okay, I'll get out right away." Zheng Chengyi hung up the phone, and then looked at the other people, "Everyone, let's stop here for this meeting first." ”

With that, he and a few diplomats walked out, and the other leaders of the six realms immediately transferred the communication to their respective consulate personnel.

Soon Zheng Chengyi came to the front center of the conference hall, and the whole hall quickly fell silent.

Then the large screen in front of the synagogue lit up, and two men and a woman appeared in it.

There was also one of those present who was not familiar with the government structure of the new humans, and the three of them naturally recognized it at a glance.

The dignified middle-aged man sitting in the middle was none other than the head of the new human government, the President of the Supreme Council. Bloss.

It was this man who led the New Humanity uprising and established the current New Humanity Government and Colonial Satellite Group, he is the leader of the New Humanity, and the spiritual leader of the New Humanity, and has an irreplaceable position in the New Humanity.

To John's right was the deputy speaker of the council, Patras, an equally handsome man, blonde and blue-eyed, with a sharp look in his eyes, and he was also the hawkish representative of the new humanity, in charge of military affairs.

Sitting on the left is a beautiful woman, the years have not left too many traces on her face, and she looks very gentle and easy-going, but those who are familiar with her know that this is the iron lady of internal affairs of the Supreme Council, and she is also the representative of the doves - Xia Hailan.

The two sides have known each other for a long time, and the meeting in this case is not too polite, and the topic goes straight to the point.

“...... So on this matter, we hope that the Council can give a reasonable explanation. Zheng Chengyi asked questions after making all the key points clear.

"Prime Minister Zheng, I don't think there should be any reasonable explanation for this matter, right? The reason for this is clear to all of you who know better than we do. Patras asked with a hint of a smile on his lips.

His words immediately made the faces of everyone in the hall turn a little ugly.

"What is the reason why your army does not hesitate to violate the peace treaty and suddenly launch a military attack on the colonial satellite of Augulis without remembering the past friendship, I really don't understand, and I hope the deputy speaker will make it clear." The alliance's chief diplomat, Di Xiong, asked.

"Director Di, can your question represent the Alliance?" There was a hint of otherness in Patras's tone.

"Rest assured, Deputy Speaker, as the chief diplomat of our alliance, Director Di's questions will naturally represent the alliance." Zheng Chengyi said with a hint of joke.

"Well, since you like to pretend to be confused, I'll make it clear," Patras looked unimpressed, "According to reliable information from our intelligence agents, is it true that your coalition government is quietly developing destructive mobile weapons in the colonial satellite of Augulis?" ”

Di Xiong smiled and nodded, "Can you ask the deputy speaker two questions first?" ”

"What else do you want to quibble?"

"No, it's just a normal question, I just want to ask Deputy Speaker Pat which side does the colonial satellite Augulis belong to?"

Patras frowned, "Your Alliance." ”

"Good. Again, Deputy Speaker, do you like people to interfere in your family life? ”

"What do you want to say?" Patras's gaze narrowed slightly.

Di Xiong suddenly laughed and said: "Since the deputy speaker is unwilling to answer positively, then I will let you dislike it, then I am strange, we are hiding in our own house and doing some things, and your council actually sent someone to spy on us?" Well, forget it, when you find out that we're messing with something you don't like, so you're going to burgloy, and destroy our things and our house, and finally blame us for not doing it! May I ask the Deputy Speaker, what is the reasoning behind this? ”

Di Xiong is worthy of being the chief diplomat of the alliance, and his passionate remarks, combined with his extremely well-placed actions and demeanor, make everyone present feel that they are reasonable.

And speaking with facts is also the power of Dickon's remarks.

Patras also frowned when he heard this, but in the next moment, his eyes regained a look of disdain, "I have long heard that Director Di is clever and sharp, and what I heard today is really extraordinary, but are you not aware of the fact that what you are doing is not a thing, but a destructive mobile weapon that will directly affect everyone's peaceful development, will this be a little contrary to the concept of your alliance?" Or is your so-called concept of peace just talking? ”

"On behalf of the whole alliance, I can assure the world that the peace philosophy of the APAP government has never changed, and we welcome everyone to monitor and support it." Zheng Chengyi said in a solemn tone.

"In that case, then I would also like to ask the Prime Minister, since the concept of peace is the premise of the development of the alliance, why do you secretly develop destructive mobile weapons?" Xia Hailan, deputy speaker of the interior council, asked.

Although the doves and the hawks are always at odds, they are still in the same camp when it comes to the outside.

Zheng Chengyi smiled faintly, "Vice Speaker Xia's question is a bit humorous, do you really think that peace can be done just by casually talking?" And I was just about to ask, what is your government's definition of weapons? What is a weapon of destruction? ”

"I don't think I need to explain much, haven't you already shown the destructive power of those Gundam Mobile Suits of the Federal Army thirteen years ago?" John answered this question for Xia Hailan, and at the same time, his words also made people feel a hint of threat.

But Dichon couldn't help but smile, "As far as I know, the Supreme Council is also a government that advocates freedom, but after listening to Speaker John's words, how can I have a meaning that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." ”

"What does Director Di mean by that?" John asked lightly.

Di Xiong said: "May I ask Speaker John, did the Rim of Ocean Federation Army announce it to the world when it drew up the plan for the development of mobile suits?" ”

"Nope."

"Did your government announce it to the world when it was developing Mobile Suits?"

"Not either."

"Then why is it that now that we are independently developing mobile suits, your government is asking us to make them public?"

Di Xiong didn't wait for the other party to respond this time, and continued to answer himself: "Okay, you say that we are developing weapons of destruction, but as we all know, weapons are only dead things, and it is our human minds that really control weapons, and people all over the world know that the ideology that our alliance has always adhered to is aimed at peaceful development, so the weapons we make will only be a weapon for maintaining peace, not a weapon of destruction." ”

"Secondly, I believe that your government is well aware in its heart that our relationship is the same as that of your government and the Federation? Therefore, I would also like to ask the Council not to compare the Union with the Federation, after all, these are two completely different systems. ”

"In closing, I must stress that what we are developing is a mobile weapon, not a destructive mobile weapon."

"So Director Di means that it's actually just a misunderstanding?" Patras asked with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Isn't that obvious?" Di Xiong spread his hands.

"May I ask if Director Di is also a new human?" John suddenly asked with some presumptuousness.

"No, no, I'm just a normal person." Di Xiong hurriedly smiled modestly.

John sucked in the slogan, "So, it seems that we did misunderstand this time..."

The result was beyond everyone's expectations, the New Humanity Government really surrendered so easily this time, although the Alliance Government's arguments were indispensable, but the real reason was intriguing, which was really not in line with the style of the New Humanity.

Soon, the people in the coalition government knew why, and it turned out that the controversy was just a play staged by the council, in order to retreat into advance and pave the way for the next compensation agreement.

In the end, the Council compensated for the price of 10 first-generation airframes in exchange for one Gundam, but the three Gundams that were looted promised to be destroyed "for the sake of peaceful development between the two sides".

The satellite side is compensated with the corresponding repair technology, funds, equipment and resources.

This series of reparations coalitions seems to have gained a lot of benefits, but in fact they have suffered heavy losses.

Needless to say, the resources and technology poured into those three Gundams alone can't make up for it even if there are 10 third-generation models, not to mention that they are only the lowest-level generation models, and most of the raw materials are still not available to the new humans.

But there is no way, this is a political contest, there is no turning back from the start of construction, and the alliance can only remember the shame and swallow the bitter water in its mouth.

"We have one last request."

"Prime Minister, please speak." John seemed to be in a good mood.

"I hope that you will immediately recall all the warships and units involved in this satellite raid, and that Major Torus, who presided over the operation, and several captains of the ships will apologize in writing to the coalition government." Zheng Chengyi said in a deep voice.

"It's human nature, and it's no problem." John smiled and agreed.

The meeting with the Council was then officially concluded.

The next second the screen was turned off, Zheng Chengyi and the others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the faces of most of the people in the hall also improved.

"The Prime Minister is thoughtful." Dichon admired.

"I didn't expect them to be so cheerful." Zheng Chengyi showed a wry smile and sighed: "But that's all we can get, I hope the last seed can return safely." ”

"I believe in their abilities, and the seeds of hope will surely shine."

Subsequently, Zheng Chengyi arranged a series of aftermath work related to the colonization satellite with people from all walks of life.
