PS: (Today's update ~~~)

Not to mention the feud between Kira Yamato and Cagalli, after sorting out the battlefield and capturing more than a dozen ZAFT prisoners, the Archangel took off later and followed the lead of the Dawn Desert to the base of the Dawn Desert.

Under the guidance of the Dawn Desert group in an off-road vehicle, after more than three hours of desert travel, the Archangel noticed the Grand Canyon in the desert in front of it. And what makes people feel amazing is that this canyon, which is rare to see in the great desert, is long and wide, and even a large space warship like the Archangel can drive into it without any constraints, which can be said to be a rather rare desert base.

"Strange! The Desert Tiger wouldn't be unaware of this place, how could it allow the Dawn Desert Organization to occupy this place......"

Looking at the cliffs on both sides after entering the canyon, Natal Buckillu felt strange in her heart, and directly raised her own questions in the conning tower.

It is clear that Natal Bucky Lulu with her own eyesight can see at a glance that such a natural place in the desert is quite a rare situation. Even if the ZAFT side does not value such a geographical location, to say that the ZAFT army is completely unaware of such an obvious canyon situation in the desert is definitely a mockery of the intelligence and ability of the "Desert Tiger".

What makes Natal Bucky Lulu strange is also strange here, whether it is watching the Dawn Desert not only establish a base here and see a lot of bunkers along the way, it proves that the Dawn Desert has occupied this canyon for a long time. But this base still looks peaceful, and it doesn't look like it has been attacked by the ZAFT army at all, which makes Natal Barki Lulu, who has watched the anime and the current situation, a little incomprehensible.

"There's nothing incomprehensible about that!" Seeing that Natal Bucky Lulu and others were a little curious, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the command platform, shook his head and explained to a few curious women very calmly: "The Desert Tiger is not an idiot, but the Dawn Desert Base seems very quiet here, plus the situation in the anime. The only reasonable explanation is that the tiger didn't really take these people in the Dawn Desert to heart before, and didn't treat them as enemies worth paying attention to, so these people in the Dawn Desert were able to live at ease until now!"

Li Yuan's words are certainly not nonsense, the "Gundam SEED" anime does not mention, but in the current world, Andrew Bartfield is the supreme commander of the ZAFT Ground Army in the Mediterranean theater and the African theater. To put it bluntly, the Desert Desert is just a small-scale guerrilla force, can it be expected that the Desert Tigers themselves will distinguish the little-known small resistance group in the Dawn Desert, an African theater of operations, from other resistance groups composed of numerous guerrillas and blue cosmos elements in the ZAFT-controlled area, and look at them differently?

Of course, Li Yuan also shook his head in the face of the Dawn Desert in his heart, and it was also a shame that these people still regarded Andrew Bartfield, the "Desert Tiger", as their biggest enemy, but the Desert Tiger didn't treat the little-known Dawn Desert as a dish at all, and the Dawn Desert, which thought that he felt good and was ignored, also made people feel drunk.

"That's it! We've reached our destination!" Listening to Li Yuan's explanation, seeing that the others seemed to have the intention of asking again, Maliu, who was the captain of the Archangel, spoke directly, pointed to the light screen in front of the battleship, and the group of people in the Dawn Desert who had stopped the jeep and signaled the Archangel to stop, and continued to ask: "Except for Natal staying behind, which of you would like to go down with me and Yuan to have a look?"

"Not interested!" - This is C.C., and for her, she really has no interest in going to the canyon to blow the wind and eat sand.

"I don't want to go!" - Frey also doesn't want to blow the wind and eat the sand, and if it's a bustling city below, Frey is still a little interested in seeing the situation, but a desolate canyon and a base of armed men with weapons are exempt.

"Okay! Malu and I will go down and see what the Dawn Desert people have to say to us......

Regarding the opinions of several women, Li Yuan nodded to show that he understood, and then said to Ma Liu.

……

After stepping off the Archangel, Li Yuan and Maliu Ramias, under the protection of a bunch of reinforced soldiers, directly followed the smiling Saibu Ashma into the core area of this base in the Dawn Desert.

"It seems that the old lion of Orb still has invested a lot of money in the safety of his daughter......"

Following Saibu Ashuma all the way into the core command room of the base, looking at the boxes of valuable military supplies on the black market of arms on both sides of the road, Li Yuan came to a conclusion after glancing at it.

Unlike the "Gundam SEED" anime, the technology and armament situation in this "Gundam SEED" world is now under the influence of a certain Fengshen Pterodactyl wings, whether it is the ZAFT Army or the United Earth Army's armament upgrades, it can be said that other countries and people are dumbfounded, and the ZAFT ground force after the upgrading of various high-tech equipment is no longer an enemy that a small resistance group like the Dawn Desert can deal with.

Even the large resistance groups and blue cosmos elements that have received "support" will have to take out an old steel tank of the ZAFT Army (which has been equipped for less than a year) with human lives. And the small organization of the Dawn Desert is more of a natural person security force organized by the ZAFT army.

However, in this base in the Dawn Desert, those that even have special supply lockers and look brand new are clearly not the security force equipment captured in the Dawn Desert (there are no traces of blood or traces from the battle). And after thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan understood that these things must be the old lion of Orb quietly providing the Dawn Desert behind - after all, Cagalli, the princess of Orb, is still staying here, and it is impossible for the old lion of Orb to send only one person to protect the little lion, and it would be normal to give the Dawn Desert a little arms and material support!

As for why Orb has this power in Africa?

Ahem, it wasn't mentioned in the "Gundam SEED" anime, but after entering the world of "Gundam SEED", Li Yuan understood why the Republic of Orb, a small country that claims to be neutral but hooks up with the Earth Union and PLANT, can support them to live a high-welfare life while building mass accelerators and colonial satellites.

The reason is actually very simple, in addition to the fact that the Republic of Orb provides high-priced food and daily necessities for industrial products for profit from the PLANT satellite group, the largest income of the Republic of Orb is to sell the weapons it produces to the major armed forces in many hot spots such as South America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Otherwise, how can a small fart country that does not have the energy lifeline of oil like the big dogs of the Middle East in the Overworld, and does not have a vast territory and other resources, be unique in Gundam SEED?

It is precisely because of the good relationship with various African forces and even PLANT for a long time that the old lion of Orb is more relieved that his baby daughter ran to the desert of North Africa, otherwise do you think that the old lion of Orb is really in the water? It's okay to forget all the unreasonableness in the anime, but this is the real world......

"Your Excellency, I don't know what to call you?"

However, after Li Yuan was a little distracted, Saibu Ashuma took Li Yuan and his party into the simple command room, and then Saibu Ashuma whispered to Li Yuan with a smile that could be called "flattery".

The attitude of Saibu Ashuma is not surprising at all, and those who can become leaders in this sandy place by virtue of their own abilities are definitely much better than others. Not to mention that the current situation is quite favorable and it is a super behemoth of the Earth Union, the Archangel alone can easily trample to death in the Dawn Desert a hundred times by force. In this case, it is not surprising that Sebu Ashma has a low attitude!

"Oh, you can call me Li Yuan. Also, if there's anything you need, just say it! I don't like to beat around the bush......" After thinking about it for a while, he understood the situation and thoughts of Saibu Ashima, Li Yuan looked at the other party with interest, and said to Saibu Ashuma very simply.

By Li Yuan's side, the royal sister of Maliu Ramias, except for looking at the underground command room of this simple cave, stood very simply beside her man and did not speak, but was a little curious to see what this guy Saibu Asima was going to do in this situation.

"Mr. Li, it's like this, our Dawn Desert is a resistance organization that resists the aggression of the ZAFT Army......"

Listening to Li Yuan's more kind but straightforward words, Saibu Asuma breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then continued to tell Li Yuan and Ma Liu his intentions with a flattering face......

……

Later, inside the Archangel's conning tower.

"Sebu Asuma, that guy wants our support? Even the recognition of the United Earth ???"

Listening to Marlu Ramias and Li Yuan relaying the situation of the conversation just now, the others were forgotten, and Natal Bucky Lulu asked in disbelief.

"That's right! That guy is not stupid and doesn't think about anything else impossible......"

Sitting on the seat of the command tower, Li Yuan moved one hand around Malu's waist and even below, while confirming Natal Bakki Lulu's words, and slightly revealing a hint of approval for Saibu Ashima just now.

In the conversation just now, Saibu Asima, who is very different from the original plot of "Gundam SEED", is quite sensible, and does not propose any idea of uniting with the Archangel to deal with the "Desert Tiger", but proposes to trade with the Archangel with certain supplies, and tries to propose whether to be recognized by the United Earth Army!

-- In the African theater and the Mediterranean theater of the ZAFT Army, the large resistance groups are the backing of the Earth Alliance, such as the Dawn Desert, which is a small and medium-sized resistance organization, unless it has really done a few major things and made a big name, otherwise it is more of a resistance organization that spontaneously organizes because of hatred with the ZAFT Army. And of course, the strength and equipment of such self-organized small and medium-sized resistance groups usually make people cry.

If Sebu Ashuma tentatively proposes to gain the recognition of his organization by the United Earth side through the Archangel number, it will definitely be a great thing to get the assistance of the United Earth side. And even if it doesn't work, according to Saibu Asima's idea, exchanging food, water and other supplies for some military items and weapons on the Archangel such as medicines, weapons and other military items and weapons is also a good thing for the Dawn Desert!

"Source, what's your idea?" Listening to Li Yuan's slightly appreciative answer, Natal Bucky Lulu raised her eyebrows before seriously asking Li Yuan's opinion.

"Let's get some food and water! But don't be too polite, after all, it's not us who begged them to ......."

Regarding this issue, Li Yuan, who had just talked a few words with Saibu Ashima and left in the name of "returning to discuss", didn't pay much attention to it at all. Then he looked at the few women present before continuing to ask, "Next, I plan to bring that big pink ...... Ahem, that Miss Lux Klein went to meet the Desert Tigers, would anyone like to join me to see the Oasis City in the desert? By the way, we'll need to restock the Archangel!"

"I'm going to check it out!"

"I'm also going to see the desert oasis cities of this world......"

"No need! At least someone was going to stay on the battleship. ”……

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Frey decisively said that she wanted to take a look, C.C thought about it and nodded in agreement, while Malu and Natal Bucky Lulu thought about it and refused this kind of thing.

……

The next morning, in the dim wee hours of the morning before even the sun came out.

"Let's go !!" At the entrance of the canyon at the base of the Dawn Desert, after seeing that the eight desert-specific off-road vehicles were ready, Li Yuan ignored the lively Dawn Desert members and the little lion cub, and gave an order without hesitation.

With a few sounds and the roar of the engine, eight desert buggies began to start, and then, under the guidance of a guide provided by the Dawn Desert, wearing Li Yuan, C.C., Lux Klein, Frey, and more than a dozen reinforced soldiers, they sped away in a certain direction in the desert......
