Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 209: Trick Lux into reentering the battlefield

The war in South America instantly attracted the attention of the whole world, naturally including Lux, who said she was temporarily staying there but was actually observing the New Mischi Kingdom.

Lux even found Red, who was working in the military chairman's office, and asked him

"Mr. Red, what do you think about the war of independence in South America?"

Red was puzzled by this question and said, "What do I think? I'm just sitting and watching. The New Mislchi Kingdom has no involvement in this matter. It is just a mere spectator."

As he didn't know Lux's purpose, Red asked cautiously:
"Lacus, you shouldn't ask me this question. The terminal should have more information than me. As for the conflict of interests behind the South American war, no one can convince anyone without a fight. You should be very clear about this."

Lux did not deny that she knew the behind-the-scenes of the South American War, because pretending to be stupid would only make Red think she was a clown, so she asked directly:
"I know the inside story, but the war that PLANT and the Earth Union just experienced has only been over for half a month. Both sides are obviously exhausted and can't fight any more. Why, why do both sides want to start this kind of proxy war again? I really don't understand. Can't the two countries just sit down and talk about it?"

At this moment, Red really felt the helplessness and confusion coming from Lux. This girl really seemed to not understand why both sides had to waste their own strength to fight a proxy war when neither side could defeat the other.

So Red took it a little more seriously, because Lux didn't seem to be trying to fool him this time, but was here to humbly seek advice.

However, Lux's question could not give her the answer she wanted, so she could only say
"Lacus, the premise for both sides to sit down and talk is that their power is equal. The United States of South America, which is now basically destroyed, is still not qualified to be equal to the weak Atlantic Federation.

Moreover, the restoration of the United States of South America is tantamount to spitting out the meat that the Atlantic Federation has already swallowed and digested for some time, which is an act that seriously damages its existing interests.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation would never allow South America to regain independence unless it had no other choice. And the reason for this was to make the Atlantic Federation feel that the cost of taking over South America was greater than the gains.

The most effective way to achieve this effect is naturally war.

As for the logic behind PLANT's actions in fueling the situation, you should be very clear about it."

When Lux heard this, she was a little excited and supported Red's platform and said

"What about ordinary people? They are all human beings! If the authorities abandon them for their own interests, will there be no one to protect their rights?"

Lux's words made Red a little speechless. No matter whether South America belonged to the Atlantic Federation or the United States of South America was restored, what did it have to do with non-South American countries.

If other countries could really start a war by making the ordinary people of other countries suffer, the world would be in chaos.

But this kind of words cannot be said, Red finally had no choice but to reply

"When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer."

Lux obviously disagreed with Red's words and retorted:
"No, Red, you obviously have a way. The people of the New Mislchi Kingdom have a very high standard of living. During this period of time, I have seen with my own eyes that everyone in Xinggong City is loyal to their duties, and no one has a gloomy look on their face, such as worrying about the coming of war.

This is the country of my dreams. Red, you can do it, so why do you turn a blind eye to the suffering in other places?"

Red couldn't help laughing when he heard Lux's words. People in Xinggong City don't have gloom? That's because the natives don't have such emotions. Even if you point a gun at their heads now, you won't see any negative emotions like fear.

Although these natives are exactly the same as humans, even Red has to admit that they are more like machines than humans, and the future of mankind must not be like this.

So Red said very sternly

"Lacus, you seem to have forgotten one thing. The establishment of Xinggong City was based on the premise that I completely destroyed the Oceania Alliance and demonstrated military power.

You want me to take care of the suffering in other places? Do you want me to start a war to conquer the entire Earth Sphere and then save their suffering?
And what's the point of putting your hopes on me alone? Aren't you afraid that I will be corrupted by power? And end up becoming a tyrant who enslaves the world?"

When Lux heard this, she realized that what she had said just now was careless. Her face turned red and her momentum instantly dropped. She said
"Sorry, I just got a little excited. But I really want to know, is there really no way to help these ordinary people?"

Red didn't intend to argue with Lux, but suddenly thought that he might be able to use this opportunity to find something for Lux to do, so he said

"It's okay. After all, your desire for peace is good, but the current reality does not allow it.

However, Lux, I still say that you should never put the fate of mankind in the hands of one person or a group of people. The future of mankind can only be chosen by mankind itself, whether it is progress or destruction. The power of an individual or an organization can only open up a possibility for the future. The specific path is up to mankind to choose.

So, Lux, you should go to the battlefield, walk to the grassroots, see more, and learn more, instead of sitting at home and reading the reports of your subordinates. After doing all this, you can consider how to bring peace. "

Lux was a little tempted when she heard this, but she said with embarrassment

"But I'm an adjuster. It's hard for adjusters to be active on Earth, and I'm pretty famous."

When Red heard this, he smiled, stood up and walked to Lux, walked around her, then made a circle and called Elsa, the current political secretary, to come over.

When Erza arrived, Red pointed at Lacus and said

"Ms. Elsa, take Ms. Lacus down and dress her up. Just dress her like a country girl, but not too conspicuous so that others can't recognize her."

Elsa nodded. This was a chance to change the clothes of the real princess idol, so she gave a sly smile and took Lacus away.

In just half an hour, when Lux Red returned to Red's office after changing her clothes, she was hardly recognizable.

All the decorations on her body were removed, her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, no hair was left near her cheeks, she wore a baseball cap on her head, and a pair of large plain glasses suppressed her appearance. She wore a gray-white jacket that was common on the street, and changed her lower body into jeans and sneakers.

In general, the value of Lux's outfit now may not be as expensive as her original headdress. Her super high looks are also suppressed by the hat and glasses. In addition, her figure is very average. If she walks on the street, she will probably be regarded as an ordinary high school student with a good foundation and a promising future.

Red nodded, gave Lux a temporary pass for outside visitors, let Lux go outside by herself, and said that she was a reporter from South America who wanted to see him.

Everyone in this building knows Lux, and if they recognize Lux, they will naturally report to himself.

But if no one reports it, it proves that Lux's outfit has successfully concealed her identity. After all, if a mere South American reporter wants to see her, no one will report it.

This kind of thing would be screened by the secretarial team first. Lacus was dressed like this by Elsa, so the application would naturally be intercepted by her. Red waited in the office for an hour for this, and sure enough, no one reported it, so he knew that Lacus's disguise was very successful this time.

In fact, Lux was also having a lot of fun at this time. As a national idol of PLANT, in order not to cause congestion in the store, she naturally changed her clothes and slipped out of the house to make purchases.

However, the clothes in Klein's house are not cheap, and no matter how hard Siegel's life is, he will not let his beloved daughter Lux suffer.

Therefore, even if Lux disguised herself and covered her face tightly with a mask, a wide hat and sunglasses, people would still recognize her as either rich or noble when she went out.

As for the disguise he did later to avoid being wanted, it was basically just putting on a hooded windbreaker and being taken away by security personnel.

It's not like now. Lux feels that this kind of performance hidden under people's noses is very interesting and gives her a strange sense of pleasure.

The only regret is that her disguise was eventually exposed.

The one who exposed Lacus was Mirialia, whom Letty had asked for help.

After the war, the Archangel was temporarily sealed in the underground port of the Carpantaria base that was being rebuilt and was undergoing an upgrade and modification, with Malu in charge of the project.

Red kept his promise and granted all the crew members of the Archangel citizenship of the New Mischi Kingdom. He also allowed them to retire on the spot, and the retirement allowance was paid at the rate of two levels higher than their current military rank.

However, none of the Atlantic Federation soldiers on board retired. They all knew that the New Mislchi Kingdom was short of officers, and as long as they continued to work hard, they would be promoted to lieutenant. Their future treatment would be much better than if they were promoted two levels to become a sergeant.

Therefore, all the former Atlantic Federation soldiers on the Archangel were transferred to the New Misluchi Kingdom Army on the spot.

Seeing that these people were the ones who followed the Archangel to break through the ZAFT Earth Army's defenses, Red decisively promoted all of them to a higher level and made them officer reserves to study at Noin's Officer Academy.

Of course, Sei and Mirialia, who were originally just students, chose to retire on the spot.

Sai directly entered the civil service system of the New Misluchi Kingdom and is now in the grassroots training stage.

Like the original character, Mirialia aspires to become a war correspondent, wanting to show the world the sufferings of war in order to arouse the peace-loving hearts of people from all countries.

This time, Letty approached Miriam because she hoped that Miriam would go to South America to film the war, so that she could force the Atlantic Federation to withdraw from South America through public opinion and weaken the strength of this most trouble-making country on the earth.

Of course, Letty would not let Milia go alone, so she arranged bodyguards for her.

As a result, as soon as Milialia walked out of the government gate, she saw a girl who claimed to be a South American reporter and wanted to see Red.

Milialia thought that this was a guide who had fallen from the sky, so she naturally went up to talk to her. However, after looking at Lux suspiciously for a few seconds, she exposed her identity.

Because the scent of Lux had not changed, Milia, who had been in contact with her for a long time, could naturally smell it at once.

Then Lux, whose identity was revealed, took Mirialia back to Red's office.

Red looked at Lux, who looked regretful and kept smelling the body but could not smell anything, and Miria, who looked like what the hell are you playing. He was speechless and could only change the subject awkwardly.

"Mirialia, Letty asked you to go to South America. Who is the bodyguard she arranged for you? I want to see if he is reliable."

Red was just looking for topics to talk about because the people arranged by Letty were basically reliable.

However, when Milialia gave the bodyguard's information to Red, Red was still a little surprised, because this person was Jane Houston.

You know, this Jane Houston was captured by Red himself during the Battle of Orb, but he kept her in prison and never took care of her, so he forgot about her over time.

So was this guy instigated by Letty? Or did he surrender because he couldn't stand it anymore?
But no matter what, Red didn't trust Jane Houston, but Lux also wanted to go to the battlefield, and she was not easy to fool, so he said

"Mirialia, take Lux with you on this trip to South America. Don't worry about her lack of stamina. Although she is a young lady and doesn't exercise often, she is still an Adjuster after all, and her stamina is very good."

After saying that, Red remembered that he seemed to have not yet asked Lux's opinion, so he quickly asked

"Lacus, is it okay for you to start your battlefield experience from the South American War of Independence?"

Lux didn't care about Red making the decision for her at this time, and nodded in agreement.

"No problem. I will work hard. Red, you are right. I cannot understand the real life of the people at the bottom of the battlefield by reading reports at home. I want to go and see it myself."

Lux agreed readily, but Miliyali was upset. Taking Lux to the South American battlefield? How would she explain herself if anything happened to her?
So Miliaria quickly objected.
"No, Mr. Red, it's too dangerous for me and a bodyguard to take Miss Lux to the battlefield!"

Red would not really let Lux, Mirialia, and Jane Houston go to South America. Even if Jane Houston was okay, she alone could not protect two burdens.

So Red smiled maliciously and said
"Of course I won't let the two of you go like this. It just so happens that I know two very capable people who are not doing their jobs properly. I will let them join the team and protect you to complete this trip to South America."

The two people who are very capable but not doing their jobs properly that Red was referring to are naturally Athrun and Kira.

Now Athrun is serving as a bodyguard for Cagalli, who is in no danger at all. His strength is a complete waste.

As for Kira, although he was awakened by Canard Pals, he returned to the lazy mode before the assault. It seemed that Kira who was actively looking for a peaceful path after the Alaska campaign was not him.

After being released, Canad Pars lost all interest in Kira when he saw his condition. He just turned around and left, and now no one knows where he is.

Therefore, Red planned to let the two brothers exercise properly, so that one of them would not become a wooden bodyguard and the other a salted fish at the seaside.
