Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 496 Durandal starts to make small moves again
The birth of the three major forces in the Earth Sphere has brought the CE Universe into a new era.

Although on the surface, this era of three-legged race is only the initial state of the AD universe, humans are not united at all, but it is more convenient for internal consumption.

But in fact, if the AD universe does not have a long-term balance of power among the three major forces, the final Earth Federation will never be formed.

Even the Earth Federation of the UC Universe was not achieved overnight. In the 20th century, there were more than 200 countries on Earth, with many nationalities and beliefs. Without a sufficiently large external crisis, it would be impossible to form a federation of the entire human race by relying solely on the integration of Earth countries without several large-scale integrations.

You know, even in the AD Universe, when the three major forces formed the Earth Federation under the general trend, there were countless internal opponents, which gave A-Laws room to develop.

In the CE universe, it is no longer a question of nationality, but a new race, the Adjusters. Although religious forces have weakened, the complexity and contradictions of the problem are greater.

However, it is always good news that the world is beginning to merge. The three major forces can be said to be in their initial stages of establishment, and there are many internal procedural issues that need to be coordinated, so the war suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Everyone started to replan their military while making internal adjustments.

At this moment, Lux found Red and brought the information she got from a terminal.

Normally, Lux should be leading the reconstruction work in the Atlantic Federation now, especially those armed cities along the coast. Turning them back into normal cities is a huge project.

Due to the shortage of manpower in the New Misluchi Kingdom, Lux can no longer think of being an idle person.

Anyway, the civilians of the former Atlantic Federation still recognize the rule of the New Mischi Kingdom. Everyone knows that Lux is Red's harem, but no one will look at her differently because of her identity as an adjuster.

After all, when the adjuster marries a natural person, the offspring are actually natural persons.

As for what you said about new humans not being natural persons, everyone will ask you to study the concept of natural persons carefully, indicating that those who evolve naturally are, of course, still natural persons.

So Lux has been very busy during this period, and she is also responsible for eliminating the discrimination against the Adjusters by the former residents of the Atlantic Federation. She would never come back to report information unless it was something serious.

Sure enough, after Lux told Red about the matter, Red frowned and confirmed again

"Lacus, are you sure that the PLANT Supreme Council is discussing transferring Aslan away from Earth because of the failure in Africa and investigating the failure of the war?

This shouldn't be the case. Aslan just lost a short period of time on Earth, and he lost when he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. Even if the PLANT Supreme Council wanted him to take the blame, they wouldn't be able to find a suitable replacement.

Talia Kuladis was not punished for the failure in defense of the old capital base, which led to the defeat, so how could they punish Aslan?

And now Aslan's record as a commander is definitely in the top echelon in Zafteli."

However, Lux replied with certainty.

"The information was transmitted by an undercover agent in the Klein faction through the terminal. He is currently a city councilor. Although he has not entered the Supreme Council, he can still know some major changes.

I also collected relevant information from other sources and basically confirmed that this matter is true.

Moreover, this topic was proposed by Speaker Durandal, but there are many people who oppose it, so it is still under discussion. "

When Red heard that the proposal was made by Durandal, he immediately thought it was reasonable.

This old fox must have felt that Aslan's power was too uncontrollable, so after finally catching him in the act, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation.

As for the possibility of Aslan being transferred, Red said it is still possible and very likely.

Apart from anything else, Durandal's ability in politics is no worse than his ability in scientific research.

Now the PLANT Supreme Council is basically composed of his supporters, although the so-called supporters in the Adjuster Society do not mean that they will listen to Durandal in everything.

If there are clearly problematic policies, supporters will also clearly oppose them.

Moreover, it is a rule that the Speaker does not get involved in the military. Although the current Chairman of the Military Committee is also a close confidant of Durandal, he knows very well what the surname Sarah means in the military.

If Aslan did nothing wrong, he would choose to protect Aslan.

Of course, the so-called protection only meant that he would not be punished, so it was just an excuse for transfer. Red felt that Durandal would succeed in the end.

So Red asked Lux
"Any news on where Aslan will be transferred to? Will he be transferred back to the mainland? Or to some remote place?"

In response to this question, Lux just shook her head and replied:
"Right now the Supreme Council is still discussing whether to transfer him, so there is no answer as to where he will be transferred to. However, once Aslan leaves Earth, our subsequent decisions will definitely have to be adjusted."

Reid nodded, agreeing with Lux's judgment.

Now Lux is like water spilled on a married woman, and she only cares about Red. Although the terminal has become a neutral intelligence organization, the backup plan prepared by Klein for Lux's future return to PLANT is a bargain for Red.

However, Red still felt that it was too strange for Aslan to be transferred away from Earth at this time. Durandal would not do this without a purpose. The war is not over yet, and Aslan obviously still has great value.

With the change of personnel at this time, Red could only think that Durandal's destiny plan had entered the preparation stage.

He needed to ensure that there would be no opposition within ZAFT that could threaten him, so he had to transfer Aslan from his position of power.

And based on Red's understanding of Durandal, this old fox will either not take action or be ruthless if he does. It is definitely not as simple as transferring Aslan away. It is normal for him to send people to kill him halfway.

So, Reid thought for a while and asked

"Lacus, I remember that the original ZAFT development plan for freedom and justice was brought out by the terminal."

Lux was a little confused as to why Red mentioned this now. The follow-up development data of freedom and justice was something that was completely obsolete in the New Mischi Kingdom.

After officially joining Red's harem, Lux realized how abnormal Red's technological background was. Justice and freedom? The basic performance of these two machines has now been caught up by Richelle.

The special machines built by Red have already surpassed Freedom and Justice by N generations.

So Lux answered very straightforwardly.
"Yes, the data is still at the terminal.

ZAFT's technology for creating Immortal Justice was re-studied by technicians at the Armory Colony Satellite, and was not a development of the original data.

Originally, the terminal was going to manufacture the follow-up machines of freedom and justice, but the subsequent world changed too much, and the construction of these two follow-up machines finally remained on the drawing board. "Red nodded and said

"Give the development data of the Freedom Successor to the Orb Aurora Company, and have them use the new technology to quickly build the machine, and then give it to Kira to drive. I think the matter of Athrun is not that simple, we must prepare early.

As for the follow-up machine of Justice, just start building the terminal directly. Tell me directly if you need anything and I will provide the corresponding materials and accessories.

This machine will be left for Aslan to use when he returns as the king next time. Durandal is targeting him so much, it is only a matter of time before he rebels."

After hearing this, Lux said it was no problem. She knew that Red suspected Durandal was the mastermind behind the crash of the colony satellite.

Since following Red, Terminal has also started collecting relevant evidence in the Scrap Dealers Association. Although the clues were cut off in the end, it does prove that there are big forces behind the Saraf extremists to provide help.

Using the process of elimination and the logic of the final beneficiary, Durandal is highly suspected.

Although Red did not tell Lacus about the Destiny Plan, he knew that the terminal had already given Lacus the Durandal research diary found on the Mendel colony satellite.

But Lux certainly couldn't have imagined until now that Durandal did so many things just to enforce the Destiny Plan on all mankind.

Because the Destiny System has received a lot of recognition as a recommendation system for college students' majors and adults' jobs, in theory, Durandal's achievements as a researcher have been implemented and borne fruit.

So Lux didn't take that notebook as seriously as in the anime.

However, when Lux was about to say goodbye and go back to arrange related matters, Red grabbed her, put his arm around her waist, and said with a smirk on his face:
"It's not urgent. Contact Andrew and ask him to make the arrangements first. It's rare for you to come back, so take a few days off first. How can a leader personally supervise everything?"

Lux knew what Red was trying to do, and Red's hand on his waist was no longer honest. Her face immediately turned red, and she protested in a low voice.
"No, it's daytime now, it's too outrageous."

When Reid heard this, he immediately teased

"Oh, I see. So I can do whatever I want at night, right?"

I will omit one chapter about what happens next. In short, Lux ended up working as a secretary in Red's office for a day, in every sense of the word.

Of course, Red and Lux ​​didn't miss out on the important things.

The terminal soon received an order to restart the construction of the Justice follow-up machine, and the first batch of supplies was quickly delivered from the L3 colony satellite cluster.

As for the Dawn Society, Red went there in person the next day and met with Erica Simmons alone.

In the end, Red used the technical data of the Light Cycle Thruster as a price to let the Aurora Society take on this secret mission that had to be kept secret from Cagalli the entire time before the machine was used.

All I can say is that even now, Cagalli is still a little naive. As a politician, she is just a little better than at the beginning, but still unqualified in the eyes of old politicians.

If she knew about the construction of the successor to the Freedom in advance, the news would probably leak out. After all, the Aurora Society is full of all kinds of people, and this machine needs to be built in a secret factory of the same level as the Dawn Gundam.

To the outside world, Red went to Dawn Society this time because Erica asked Red to apply for new technology and OEM parts. Dawn Society has done this more than once and everyone is used to it.

And now that all the wars related to the New Mischi Kingdom have ended, the Dawn Society has also participated in the reconstruction of the former Atlantic Federation, and even bought a secret military factory in the territory of the former Atlantic Federation to open a branch.

In addition, Erica was a beautiful young woman whose husband had died. She was even able to exchange the Minovsky particle nuclear furnace from Red. There had always been different opinions about their relationship, so it seemed normal to outsiders that Red would come here in person occasionally.

Of course, all of the above are misunderstandings. Red just didn't explain them to others. After all, he had too many lice and was not afraid of the itch anymore. Anyway, everyone in his family knew the truth, so it was okay as long as they didn't misunderstand.

As for Erica, by using Red as a shield, she can avoid a large number of boring suitors and concentrate on educating her son. Her son will not be easily bullied, so she did not explain it to the outside world.

Time passed slowly. The PLANT Council's discussion on Aslan took longer than expected. After more than half a month, the terminal received another message.
"The PLANT Supreme Council has decided to transfer Aslan back to the armory of the L4 colony satellite group. From now on, the Earth ZAFT Army will be fully managed by Harry Zagnus."

When Red received the news, he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard the name Harry Zagnus.

Harry Zagnus is the Defense Committee Chairman who launched a coup in PLANT in response to Findersen in the movie.

On the surface, he is a standard ZAFT radical. Although the movie version strangely only gave the chairman of the National Defense Committee a position of lieutenant colonel, the reality is not like that.

Although he is not a member of the National Defense Committee yet, he is one of the senior commanders of Zaftari and is in the same boat with the Sara faction.

But since he can be connected with Findersen, we know that this person has a close relationship with Dilandar or Ola.

The so-called being in the same boat with the Sara faction is just a cover-up.

However, with this cover, Durandal was able to use him to replace Aslan.

It is estimated that in the eyes of Aslan's supporters in the Supreme Council, Durandal's exchange of Harry Zagnus for Aslan was already an act of compromise.

As for exchanging Aslan for the armory of the L4 colony satellite cluster, Red could only say that Durandal was calculating.

This move seemed to move Aslan back to his base and appease Sara's supporters.

But in fact, during the period when coordinators such as Aoi Ram Tao controlled the Armory Colony satellite cluster, the top leaders including Isaac must have been hypnotized and controlled by them without knowing it.

Although on the surface Yitzhak is still the same Yitzhak, his memory and personality have not changed at all, and he might even yell at Aofer Ram Tao and others every day.

But as long as it comes to the critical moment, the coordinators can control Yizhak to backstab Aslan.

With Aslan's trust in his good brother, this backstab will definitely be a hit.

Therefore, Red judged that Aslan would definitely be ambushed when he returned to the Armory Colony Satellite Cluster this time, or at least a Hongmen Banquet would be waiting for him.

Judging from Durandal's actions, he definitely didn't have the patience to wait for the Coordinator to hypnotize Aslan as well.

Moreover, hypnosis is not so easy to succeed once the person is alert.

Even someone like Lux, whose genes are perfectly restrained, can stay awake through her own will.
