Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 111: Patrick Sara, the man who beat people
Red agreed to the communication, and soon, Patrick Sala's image appeared on the big screen on the Aries bridge.

Judging from his background and the various shaking images, he should be in the universe as Red guessed, probably above the Carpantaria base, communicating with himself through relay laser communication.

Red was observing Patrick Sala, and Patrick Sala was naturally also observing Red. The first thing that caught Red's eye was naturally the eye-catching Sala team behind him.

Before the call, Patrick Sarah could never have imagined that his son and the sons of several of his trusted subordinates would be on Red's ship. This was not good news.

These four people are enough to make Patrick afraid to act rashly, but he is not crazy yet, because this is his own son. Even if he ignores this son, if something happens to the other people because of their behavior, his subordinates will rebel.

So Patrick's first words were not to Red, but to the four people behind Red with an unusually serious tone.
"Aslan, you need to explain to me why your team is on Red Isaac's ship."

At this point, we can see how Aslan and Patrick, father and son, interact with each other on a daily basis.

Aslan really stood straight and saluted as if he was facing his superior.
"Reporting to Commissioner Sarah, our team entered Orb to spy on the Aurora Society and the Archangel. We encountered Red Isaac and his friends in Orb. Since we were recognized, we had no choice but to follow Red Isaac and leave Orb territory."

After Aslan's report, Patrick was speechless. It was really embarrassing to be caught for sneaking in. But after all, he was communicating with Red now, and it was not the right time to teach his son a lesson. So Patrick could only say sternly:
"Understood. Submit a detailed mission report when you return to Carpentaria. I will personally review it with the other defense committee members."

Patrick almost said that the defense committee member who was conducting the investigation was the parents of these four people. So the faces of the four members of Sarah's team twitched instantly, just like children who made mistakes in school and were about to be called to school.

After that, Patrick turned to Red and said
"Red Isaac, I have something to ask you."

Red was speechless at Patrick's attitude. He was not his subordinate, so what did this tone mean?
So Reid responded directly
"Chairman Patrick, I don't seem to have the obligation to answer your question."

Patrick did not immediately get angry, but threatened coldly
"You don't have to answer now, but I can't guarantee what PLANT will do without knowing certain answers."

Red said that you, Patrick, haven't taken office yet, so why are you threatening me now? If you have the guts, come and attack me as soon as you take office. Let's see if you can keep the position of Speaker, which you haven't even sat on for long, after your first wave of troops are wiped out.

So Red said indifferently
"Haha, please feel free to do as you please, Chairman Patrick. You have been dissatisfied with me for more than a day or two. One or two issues cannot solve anything. If you want to fight, then fight. I am not afraid of you. Why don't you try to see if I can bite off a piece of ZAFT's flesh and break a bone of yours at the same time."

After saying that, Reid looked at the embarrassed expressions of the four people behind him and continued
"Of course, if Chairman Patrick wants to fight now, the four young masters of your Military Committee will have to stay with me for a while.

Don't worry, I won't threaten you with them, I will just lock them up. After all, they will no longer be soldiers of a friendly country, but soldiers of an enemy country."

Red's words were fine, but Patrick knew that Red was threatening him. To be precise, he was not threatening him with these four people, but with the internal strife of his own hardliners.

Because the war with the New Mischi Republic was unnecessary for PLANT. They were just neutral, but you had to fight them. In addition, with the detention of Aslan and the other four, people like Isalia Juul, who already controlled the army, would really come to slam the table.

So Patrick could only hold back his anger and soften his tone. Then he said
"You should listen to my question before deciding whether to answer it or not."

After saying that, without waiting for Reid to respond, he immediately said
"First of all, both I and Siegel want to know what's going on with this ship you sent out from the East Asian Republic. Also, why are you helping the East Asian Republic develop MS?"

When Red heard this, he felt that Patrick was indeed digging a hole for himself, so he immediately retorted

"Chairman Patrick, please don't talk nonsense. The East Asian Republic's MS was independently developed by them. I have nothing to do with it. Don't put the blame on me. The East Asian Republic will sue me for infringing their patents. And I have already reminded you and Speaker Siegel not to underestimate the military strength of the Earth Federation. If I can develop MS, so can they.

As for the Aries, it was a normal military procurement. There are only a few countries in the entire Earth Sphere that can independently build warships. Our country is limited in size, so are you surprised that we have commissioned other countries to build warships?"

Red dared to ask the East Asian Republic to help him build warships, so he must have thought of a good reason. The reason was simple: he was a neutral country, and no one had ever stipulated that neutral countries could not own warships.

To be precise, if any neutral country in the world asks the Earth Union to order warships, PLANT will filter it out as junk information. To put it bluntly, purchasing warships is just a lame excuse. What PLANT is worried about is that the New Misrchi Republic has already secretly voted for the Earth Union.

So after hearing this, Patrick did not continue to argue with Red about whether the East Asian Republic's MS was developed by Red, because it was unclear. Unless the East Asian Republic itself came out to admit it, PLANT could only make blind guesses without any evidence.

So Patrick could only continue to ask questions about the battleship

"Red Isaac, you should be aware of the relationship between PLANT and the Earth Union. You bought warships from a country that is affiliated with the Earth Union. It's hard not to suspect that you are secretly colluding with them."

Reid smiled and said directly to this question.
"Chairman Patrick, you are joking. Didn't you arrange for me to buy warships from the countries of the Earth Federation?"

When Red said this, Aslan and the other three behind him were shocked. They didn't think that Red would lie to Patrick in front of him.

Patrick's face turned blue at this time, and he cursed directly

"Bullshit! When did I ever arrange an arms deal between you and the Earth Alliance? If you want to find an excuse, you better find a better one!"

Seeing that Patrick was a little bit upset, Red felt happy and replied:
"Really? How about I tell you in detail how you, Chairman, brokered the arms deal between me and the Earth Alliance?"

After that, Red didn't give Patrick a chance to reply and said directly

"The New Mischi Republic once applied to PLANT for an order for large and small parts for MS. PLANT knew that our country had the ability to independently produce MS, but you still rejected the order. The main opponent was you, Patrick Sarah, Military Committee Chairman.

I remember the reason your country gave us was that ZAFT also needed spare parts for the war, and the domestically produced parts should be given priority to the army, so they could not be sold abroad. I am not making this up, Chairman Sarah. "Red had said this, and Patrick naturally knew what Red's reason was. He was simply saying that he was unwilling to sell military parts and military crafts in order to restrict the development of the New Mislchi Republic. Then the New Mislchi Republic could only buy from the Earth Union, and all of this was brokered by Patrick.

But this routine is invincible, and Patrick can't deny what he did publicly, so he can only explain
"That's true, but I still hold the same opinion. Our country's military products are not enough for the military, so how can we sell any surplus to neutral countries?"

This is the answer Red wanted, so he spread his hands and said

"Okay, if PLANT won't sell it to me, I can only look for the three nations of the Earth Alliance. Should I look for a country like Orb that has only a small size? Among them, I chose the East Asian Republic, which has the best reputation. Is there any problem?"

When Red said this, even Aslan and the other three people behind him felt that Red really had no choice in buying the warship. PLANT didn't seem to have any reason to blame Red.

Patrick knew he was in the wrong, but he was just lying to find a reason to convince other congressmen to attack Red, so he said directly
"Of course there is a problem, whether you contributed money or something else. That is boosting the strength of the Earth Alliance, and we PLANTs certainly cannot tolerate that."

Red was also speechless at this time because of Patrick's unreasonableness. The four people behind him probably wanted to drop their glasses to the ground, especially Aslan. He probably had never seen his father being so unreasonable and unreasonable.

So Red could only answer using the official language:

"Chairman Patrick, our country is an independent sovereign country. Although it is a neutral country, it still has the right to trade. If the PLANT thinks that my trade with the Earth Federation is boosting the strength of the Earth Federation, then for the sake of Speaker Siegel, I can give future orders to the PLANT. The question is, can you PLANT accept my orders?"

Reid said this deliberately to give face to Speaker Siegel, after all, the Speaker position only lasted less than a week. By then, Speaker Siegel would no longer be around, so his words would naturally not count.

However, what Red didn't expect was that Patrick smiled with a look of success and said directly

"Sure. You can give the order to PLANT. One or two warships, and we PLANT can build them for you."

Red instantly understood that Patrick was not looking for trouble with him today. He didn't even want to attack the New Misrchi Republic in a short time.

Patrick came here to add to his political achievements after becoming the Speaker of the House, a large foreign trade order, to prove that he is not only good at fighting, but also has good administrative abilities.

It's just that Patrick didn't want to bow to Red at all, so this happened.

This is a bit like a joke on the Internet in Red's previous life, where a strong country said to a weak country, "Go kneel over there, I beg you for a favor..."

Reid could only say speechlessly at this time
"Chairman Patrick, can you really make the decision on this kind of order? This kind of thing seems to require discussion by the PLANT Supreme Council before it can be decided."

Patrick has now returned to his normal working state and said directly
"Don't worry about this. If the order from the New Mischi Republic comes in, it will still be rejected. I will never mention the New Mischi Republic buying arms from the Earth Union again.

You don't have to worry that I will go back on my word. After all, I am a father and I will not go back on my word in front of my son."

Seeing that Patrick was playing the family card, Red was even more speechless. He looked at the ZAFT fleet pretending to be outside. Thinking of the huge material gap of his super fleet, he could only say

"Okay, I don't want any military supplies. The New Misrchi Republic has enough warships now. But there is still a large shortage of metal for the construction of new colonies. If PLANT can supply it, this order can be given to PLANT."

Seeing Red's helpless look, Patrick immediately felt that his visit was worth it. If Red could be upset, he would be happy. So he immediately agreed.
"Okay, that's settled."

After saying that, Patrick hung up the call.

After the communication was cut off, the ZAFT troops outside withdrew instantly, leaving only a Vosgurov-class ship still floating on the water, probably to receive Aslan and his four companions.

Red could only shake his head helplessly. He didn't necessarily lose money in this deal. He was just set up by the cunning Patrick. This deal became his political capital, so he was extremely unhappy.

However, Red was not going to regret it. He would fill in as many gaps in his metal as possible. The finished products of these metals would eventually become weapons against Patrick. In the end, Patrick still assisted the enemy.

Thinking of this, Red didn't feel so bad anymore. The fight between him and Patrick was sooner or later. Even if he didn't fight him, he would have to fight him once he activated Genesis.

Then Red turned to Aslan and the other three and said
"Okay, Aslan, the four of you can get off the boat here. It's time to go back and write the report."

At this time, Red was talking about something that was not related to the topic. Aslan and the other three looked unhappy instantly, because they knew they would be scolded when they returned. This mission report was not easy to write.

But Aslan nodded and stretched out his hand.

"Okay, Mr. Red, thank you for your hospitality for a while. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit PLANT in the future."

Looking at Aslan who was showing friendliness, Red could only complain in his heart that he would have a chance to go to PLANT in the future, but he was afraid that Aslan would not be able to return to PLANT by then.

But even though he was complaining in his heart, he definitely couldn't say it out loud, so Red shook his hand and politely said, "Sure, sure."
