Chapter 41: The Unknown 'Shadow Project'
In mid-June CE70, with the two setbacks of ZAFT in the space battle, the morale of the Earth Union began to rise, and the call for seeking another counteroffensive under the secret advocacy of the blue wave chrysanthemum "coordinator elimination theory" re-surged in some media, but it can only be regarded as a slight relief for the front-line soldiers and the most core political decision-makers! After all, the political arena of the Earth Union at this time is far from being seriously infiltrated and incompetent by LOGOS like the sequel of DESTINY, and the rampage of ZAFT on the Earth battlefield in the recent period has made many people regret the hasty start of the war at the beginning.
What's more, as long as a sober person who understands military common sense can seriously analyze - these two battles are the results of defensive battles based on danger when there are strong strongholds and fortresses of the combined army! Since ancient times, the defender has had an advantage over the attacker, but even the huge price paid can only be described as a crushing victory. A few more Pyrrhus-style victories like this may not be too late, and the space force of the Earth United Force will be completely exhausted if it is not enough to replenish and reinforce the Earth United Force in time. What's more, the rash attacks instigated by the blue wave chrysanthemum several times before have seriously depleted the space force's vital mobile force, and even so, ZAFT still firmly occupies the strategic initiative. At the moment, it is just a temporary contraction because of the large losses, but this is also an important repair buffer period for the Earth Union, which is in urgent need of regrouping forces. If anyone has been drugged with too much ecstasy soup in his brain and is clamoring to die, then he will only be thrown into some 'gray missions' destined to die by the front-line generals!
Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the Earth Union, which had been somewhat frightened by the repeated attacks of ZAFT, were already secretly seeking secret peace talks with PLANT. Even the large number of coordinators, prisoners of war, who have been shouting about certain 'anti-mediators', are closely protected as bargaining chips. Perhaps, as far as the two sides of the secret negotiation are concerned, they still have to 'entrust each other' in order to fight for each other's opportunities and interests, knowing that their opinions are too different.
The impact of the Earth Union is too great to be hit on the Earth's mainland, and the global energy and communication system crisis caused by N interference is enough to cause a super-large-scale economic plate shaking and reorganization, and the damage is huge. There must be sufficient time to complete the wartime adjustment, internal adjustment, and reshaping of the structure of resource flows. PLANT's side was also beaten twice and sounded the alarm! No matter how superior the quality of personnel and technological progress are, in the face of the strong foundation of the earth's unity, there are still shortcomings such as insufficient war potential. What's more, his own blood is thin and he can't afford to die, and the fluctuation effect of the upper limit difference between the war and the war has begun to secretly appear in China. To this end, they also need time for new war mobilization and covert bargaining for friendly circles of influence within the Earth Sphere. In short, it took time for each side to recover, and the war situation fell into a rare period of calm and stalemate between late June and July. But in private, both sides are planning new war chips for greater rights and interests in the future~~
On the PLANT side, the Supreme Commander of the ZAFT Army, Bartlig Sarah, sat on a classified liaison boat with a gloomy face. Thinking carefully about the content of the Supreme Council conversation just now, my heart was filled with anger: "Grue Krein, they are so naïve! Do you think we're going to have a room for compromise with the Naturals at this point?! No! The next war will determine the future of the Earth's Cenozoic generation, which belongs to the Co-ordinator. With this burst of anger, he vented and tapped the armrest of his chair, making a muffled sound. And then the access of a confidential communication channel made him change his mood
"Your Excellency, we are already connected to Orb! They were very interested in the program and were willing to carry out technical cooperation in the form of covert funding. And in Obu, there are also quite a number of coordinators and compatriots who are willing to contribute to this cause and support our cause. I believe that the project can be carried out quickly and smoothly~~" A low male voice reported a certain confidential information with some respect
"Excellent! For the sake of our coordinators, more assistance and available resources must be enlisted for the future. The current situation has reflected our previous complacency and inadequacy with the existing technology, and the development of the next generation of MS must start immediately. But unfortunately, on the one hand, it was the ignorance of Claein's gang that obstructed it, and on the other hand, it was also for the sake of our real 'trump card' plan. We can't afford to mobilize more money and resources for this project now. It is already the limit of China to ensure the speed of the high-mobility GINN project. Therefore, we must make use of certain external forces as effectively as possible. Negotiate with them like that! In order to gain the friendship of the future coordinator world, they must show more sincerity, and this time we will only send a group of technicians to participate, and all development data must be mobilized under our supervision. This is our bottom line requirement, and I believe those people will understand if they are smart! After saying it in a low, oppressive tone, Councillor Padolik finally breathed a sigh of relief
"Got it! Wait for the good news! In addition, in what name should we mobilize the technical team for this plan? The other side of the line uttered a final inquiry
"This project is just a technical verification exploration, but the necessary technical accumulation will forge a sharper new armament for ZAFT in the future. However, it is not advisable to overdo it for the time being. Codename - Shadow Silhouette. After giving the final announcement, Commissioner Sara simply turned off the communication channel. A transnational classified project that did not exist in the original history has been launched! Of course, in a way, it was just a disposition of a neutral country trying to step on two boats, but they did not expect that this project would be known and ready to be exploited by some outsiders as soon as it was first planned.
"The Silhouette project is ready to start! It seems to be earlier than the original history of the joint GAT project~~ Are you going to do this?! Aso looked at the latest information about the infiltrators he had received and asked Wang Budao
"Excellent! Doing it early and working late is the same harvest that needs to be done, and our people have been sent in, and the next step will be how to effectively induce the plan to maximize the resources of the two countries to achieve some of our goals. Then it can be recovered at the right moment~~" With Wang Bu's order, this hidden plan was mixed into the unknown factor, quietly stirring
