Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 262 Durandal officially enters the historical stage
After Red figured out the identities of the members of the Tekkadan, he returned to his daily routine of looking at some research materials, doing some tests within his ability, and spending the rest of his time with his wife.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was April CE72, and the gears of the world started turning again.

The election period for the chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council is from the end of March to the beginning of April every year.

However, due to the dictatorship of Patrick Sala, starting from this term, the Speaker of the Supreme Council is not allowed to concurrently serve as the Chairman of the National Defense Committee. In addition, the rule of one-year term change has been changed, allowing the Speaker to be re-elected in the next year's election.

(The Seedd setting book still states that the PLANT12 city councillor can be elected as the Speaker every year, but the Seedd setting book clearly states that Durandal was the Speaker from the election after Irene Carnaver stepped down in 72 until his death in 74. This can only be said to be a misreading of the book, or the revised policy is not written in the Seedd setting book)

Since Red did not interfere in the election of PLANT at all, the natural person who came to power was Gilbert Durandal.

Just like the original story, after Durandal came to power, he pardoned officers and soldiers from the last war who were still in custody or awaiting trial, and made it clear that their crimes would not be kept on file.

This move greatly improved the favorability of ZAFT members. Several military commissioners who actually held military power also accepted the favor of this speaker who came up in the name of Klein faction but was actually biased towards the neutral faction. The Supreme Council began to unite under the leadership of Durandal and no longer attacked each other like a vegetable market every day.

At the same time, in response to the Earth United Nations' request for PLANT to fulfill the Earth Sphere Peace Agreement, a military satellite was provided near the mainland as a permanent base for the surveillance team and at the PLNAT Mansion.

Durandal did something out of the ordinary and directly announced that PLANT would add an additional city, but this city would be built on the L4 colony satellite cluster that is similar to PLANT's homeland.

Due to the special nature of the country PLANT (the land is composed of colonial satellites), any officially recognized city is PLANT mainland.

The L4 colony satellite cluster was not divided in the agreement, so PLANT has the right to carve out a territory there and build a new city.

Of course, when it comes to building a new city, PLANT simply transformed the abandoned but still functional colonies in the L4 colony satellite cluster.

In this way, the restoration and reconstruction of ten colonies were quickly completed to form an additional city, which was set up as ZAFT's weapons factory and a place for the surveillance team to station and monitor it.

However, the most critical design bureau that oversees the management of ZAFT's weapons is not in the Extra City, and the local arsenal [May Maius City] has only become an ordinary industrial city in name, but the military factories inside have only changed their names and continued to operate.

Since they had perfectly exploited the loophole in the agreement, the three United Earth Nations could only protest verbally, and finally had no choice but to send people to occupy the military colony satellite located in L4.

As for the New Mischi Kingdom, after the death of Patrick Sala, the two countries were in a honeymoon period. After all, the separate peace agreement between the two countries guaranteed that all PLANT products would be open for sale to the New Mischi Kingdom.

The New Misluchi Kingdom now purchases a large amount of high-precision industrial equipment from PLANT every month and ships it back to the country to improve its industrial production capacity.

Of course, after these machines came back, Xingye Liuli and Nain would go through the system to make sure there was no backdoor to shut down the machines remotely. Anyway, simply recompiling the existing programs of the machines was as easy for them as eating and drinking.

Therefore, the New Misluchi Kingdom did not make any statement on PLANT's behavior of exploiting loopholes. It was the sweetest moment for both sides, one needing high-precision machinery to quickly improve national strength, and the other side needing a large amount of capital injection to restore national strength.

All of the above are the bold moves that Durandal accomplished within two months of taking office, and the results are remarkable. The chaos after the PLANT war has basically disappeared, and the country is rapidly recovering its former productivity and vitality.

Afterwards, Durandal, who had a little more free time, began to prepare for state visits to various friendly countries, and the New Mislchi Kingdom was the first on the list.

At this time, after two months, Tim Ray's team on the Xinggong colony satellite had completed the safety verification and subsequent development testing of the GN particles and AC universe micro-nuclear fusion reactor.

The Xia sisters also completed the inspection of all colonial satellites, and the fighting force was regrouped.

Originally, Red was considering whether to proceed to the next step of the assessment task, but Durandal and Orb came together to cause trouble for him.

Durandal naturally had to be a state visit so Red had to show up in person.

On the Orb side, they were reporting that the new Gundam developed by Aurora for Kira had been completed, and they had held an unveiling ceremony similar to the [AEU Standard Ceremony] of the AEU in the AD Universe, and had invited Red to attend.

Red actually understood Orb's idea. After all, this was a demonstration of the Aurora Society's military and industrial strength to show that it was completely up to par with the next era's aircraft, so it was natural to do it with great fanfare.

The invitation to Red to participate is naturally because the outside world recognizes that Red is the person who understands the militarization of Minovsky particles the most. As long as Red helps to stand up, the new foreign trade MS and MS weapons developed by Orb in the future will have good sales.

Seeing this, Red discussed with Letty and decided to postpone Durandal's visit to the day before the unveiling ceremony of Orb's new MS.

At that time, we would only need to receive Durandal for one day and send him to Orb the next day.

After communicating with PLANT, Durandal expressed no objection to the trip to Orb, but he hoped that the New Mischi Kingdom could arrange to meet Lacus, who has begun to command the international rescue team to save refugees around the world. If possible, he also wanted to meet Aslan, who had been missing for a long time.

In response to this request, Red asked Lacus and Aslan and received a positive answer. They also wanted to meet the new Speaker of the PLANT who was quickly rejuvenated.

After Durandal was resolved, Orb was naturally even less of a problem. Red helped the Dawn Society invite a big shot who he could never invite on his own to the unveiling ceremony of the new MS, and the Orb government naturally agreed with both hands.

At the same time, Red asked Orb to publicly display the Minovsky nuclear fusion engine (0079 version) with the branding on it at the exhibition, preparing to reap the profits from the whole world.

After the process was finalized, PLANT was very efficient and quickly finalized the visit details with the New Mislichi Kingdom.

The day before the launch of Orb's new MS, Red finally saw Durandal, the old fox who left his name in Gundam history.

Well, calling him an old fox is a bit of an exaggeration. Dilandal is now just 30 years old, only four years older than Red. They are actually of the same age.

Moreover, after Red and Durandal met, he found that his attitude towards him was more of curiosity, and he did not show any complex feelings of concealing tricks for the time being. It is estimated that he really came to meet Red this time to determine what kind of person one of his future opponents is.

Since Durandal showed no ill intentions, Red would not embarrass him. Even though he knew that he would use the Sara faction lurking in the universe to launch a colony satellite to the earth, Red could not act without any evidence. So the two of them finished their performance for the outsiders while chatting and laughing, visited the external exhibition area of ​​the Institute of Science, went to the palace to meet Queen Angelique and had lunch.

Then the closed-door meeting in the afternoon will be the key for the two sides to discuss national policies.

In fact, this discussion gave Red the feeling that Durandal might be here to take advantage of him.

Red never expected that the chairman of the PLANT parliament would come to him one day and complain that PLANT also lacked energy. Anyway, he said the same thing: "Can your country also give PLANT a few Minovsky particle nuclear fusion reactors?"

Reid's attitude towards this request was very clear, and he answered directly:

"Chairman Durandal, the Earth Sphere Peace Agreement only prohibits the use of nuclear weapons in the military field. There is no prohibition in the civilian field at all. Civilian nuclear power plants in various countries on Earth have restored power supply using anti-neutron jammer technology. Moreover, your country no longer needs to keep running neutron jammers. If you are really short of energy, our country will help you build a few more space nuclear power plants."

After saying that, Reid skipped the topic and asked
"There is a question I have always wanted to ask, Speaker Durandal. Our country and the three United Nations of Earth have been applying for a long time. Please provide the global coordinate map where the neutron jammer was originally deployed.

The impact of neutron jammers on the Earth has not ended yet. The lack of wireless networks has greatly reduced the speed of industrial recovery on Earth, affecting the lives of tens of billions of people on Earth. I think your country should provide a coordinate map as soon as possible so that the Earth can clear all neutron jammers and restore people's livelihood. "

Red brought this up on purpose. Just as the New Mischi Kingdom could not provide the world with its unique nuclear fusion technology, PLANT would never release the global coordinate map where the neutron jammers were deployed.

Because Durandal has ambitions in his heart, he does not want the Earth to quickly recover its pre-war industrial strength. He wants to take advantage of the speed difference and use PLANT's industrial advantages to quickly restore its strength so that he can fight against the Earth at any time.

The New Mischi Kingdom is likely to be one of the obstacles that prevent Durandal from fulfilling his ambitions. If the agreement between the two countries had not been signed before he came to power, and PLANT really needed the funds from the New Mischi Kingdom to recover, Durandal would have issued a trade ban long ago.

Therefore, facing this question, Durandal could only pretend to be helpless and answered

"In fact, our country is also helpless about this problem. The coordinate map was originally stored in the Yakin Duwei Fortress. After Yakin Duwei blew himself up in the last war, a large amount of data inside was lost and has not been restored to this day, so we can't provide the coordinate map at all."

This answer sounded like an excuse. How could ZAFT keep such an important thing in the fortress without keeping any records?

You know, Patrick Sala’s original goal was to defeat the natural humans and make the adjusters become the superior "Dracos", not to completely abandon the Earth.

This coordinate map must be archived because after the war is won, the adjuster needs to return to Earth and restore the Earth's wireless network, otherwise the boomerang of the neutron jammer will hit the adjuster in the face.

However, Durandal insisted that the coordinate map was destroyed and could not be provided, and Red could do nothing about it. It seemed that he could only wait until the Second World War was over and he could become the largest force in the Earth Sphere before asking PLANT for it.

At this point, Durandal saw that the topic had reached an impasse and neither side could meet the needs of the other, so he pretended to change the subject and actually asked seriously:

"Commissioner Red, do you know the colonization policy on Mars?"

Red knew the plot, so he didn't take Durandal's joke as a way to lighten the mood, but he pretended to know nothing and replied:

"Mars? Speaker Durandal is saying that they have a policy of assigning positions to people based on their genetic characteristics and abilities, in order to maximize the effectiveness of everyone's strength?"

Seeing that Red was so clear about the policies of Mars, Durandal was excited and said:
"Yes, Chairman Red, don't you think this form of society is very efficient and can avoid many disputes?"

When Reid heard this, he laughed and shook his head.

"If the population is small, this operation is indeed very efficient and can avoid unnecessary internal friction.

But once the population increases, this form of society will eliminate the possibility of human endeavor.

For example, my own genes may only make me suitable for being a private, and perhaps major is the upper limit of my position that my genes can calculate.

Speaker Durandal, do you think if I had been a soldier according to my genes, would there be the New Misrchi Kingdom today?"

After hearing what Red said, Durandal was speechless. After all, if genetic sequencing now said that Red Isaac was only suitable to be a major in the army, Durandal would first look for problems with his own genetic sequencing logic. It would be ridiculous to say such things.

However, Durandal also saw that Red did not support the social policies of Mars, so he could only smile and agree.

"That's natural. If the person sequenced by Chairman Reid is not a top scientific researcher, then there must be something wrong with the logic of gene sequencing, which proves that this system is not yet mature."

When Red heard this, he knew that Durandal, as a scientific researcher, would not give up the "truth" he believed in so easily, so he also said jokingly

“In fact, the gene detection system on Mars is not completely useless as long as the logic is well designed.

For example, high school graduates who are confused about their college majors can measure their talents and then choose the corresponding major based on their talents and actual grades. This can help young people avoid many detours. "

After Red said this, Durandal was a little amused, saying that it was a waste to spend his life just to help college students choose their majors. However, this does seem to be an idea. Whether he wants to pilot it or not, as long as it is not mandatory, it is estimated that few countries in the world will object.

At this moment, Durandal really felt that Red's thinking was more flexible than his own. No wonder he had achieved such success in scientific research. A simple sentence made his plan more perfect.

Let Destiny Plan disguise itself as a system for college students to choose their majors. As long as the whole world uses it for two years and people like it, there will be fewer people who oppose it when it is rolled out, especially young people who have already experienced its convenience.
