Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 511: Aslan begins to plan a counterattack

After Red completed the Kangjin Gundam and Ho-Oh Armament, he began testing and running-in.

This directly led to several wilderness explorers in Australia and North America claiming in the following days that they had seen a golden phoenix in certain deep mountains or jungles.

The phoenix flashed across the sky with golden light, scattering countless golden particles wherever it passed.

These explorers swore that after these particles touched them, their fatigue disappeared instantly and some external injuries were quickly healed, just like being reborn from the ashes.

The phoenix that the explorers saw was naturally the Phoenix-Oh piloted by Rita.

Since the Wings of Light are so fast, a sufficiently long route must be left when training for atmospheric flight on Earth.

Fortunately, the New Misluchi Kingdom now has a vast territory and many deep mountains and forests that are rarely visited by people.

Therefore, the training of the Ho-oh Armed Forces basically travels between Australia and North America every day.

The reason why there are no observation records at sea is that the Ho-Oh Armed flies very high at sea. In addition, its main body is only 16 meters, and the wings of light driven by photon batteries unexpectedly do not produce sonic boom cloud phenomenon in humid environments. Therefore, even if there are no clouds on the sea, it is difficult to observe the Ho-Oh Armed.

As for those who witnessed it, they were generally the Fengwang armed forces conducting mobile training.

This kind of training is not suitable to be conducted at sea, because there are no shelters around, and you can see something rushing down from the sky from a long distance. Moreover, it is impossible for Red to block the ocean every day, which is equivalent to telling others that you are testing or experimenting something here.

But this problem is not a big deal in mountainous areas and jungles. It is not very normal to block off a mountain or a jungle in your own country and not allow tourists to go deep into it at will. After all, the road conditions in many mountains and jungles are worrying, and people who enter can easily get lost or fall to death.

As long as you don't make too much of a fuss, no one will find it strange.

Even if someone occasionally climbs over the blockade and sees it from a strange angle, and spreads it like it is now, Red only needs to send some people to pretend to be scammers, deliberately spread it a second time, and then let these people secretly sell products such as "water blessed by the light of the phoenix".

After public opinion fermented, these people were decisively labeled as scammers selling counterfeit and shoddy products by the authorities. Naturally, no one believed these rumors without evidence.

After all, there is Veda Unit 1 monitoring the network. The only person who took the photo of Ho-Oh's armed forces with a camera set up to shoot birds, just wanted to show off on the Internet, but the photo was intercepted before it was successfully uploaded.

Ten minutes later, the lucky man was found and secretly taken away by agents. All records were destroyed, and he got a job as an official photographer for at least one year.

As for those foreign intelligence personnel, as far as Red knew, they bought a lot of "water blessed by the light of the phoenix" and took it back for research. Now they are furious and scolding the shameless liars of the New Misluchi Kingdom for selling the spring water at a sky-high price.

However, Rita might really want to become a bird, so she quickly completed her training in flying the Ho-Oh Arms in the atmospheric environment.

So later Red and Rita were transferred to the L3 colony satellite cluster for space training, and the Phoenix fever on Earth subsided.

Of course, while Red and Rita were training, the rest of the Earth Sphere was not quiet.

The Asia-Europe Union and the Alliance for a Shared Future for Mankind are still centered on the East Asian Republic and PLANT respectively, and are in fierce friction in Europe and North Africa.

Aslan's departure did not put ZAFT in North Africa and Europe at a disadvantage.

When Harry Zagnus took over the army, he brought a large number of reinforcements and new equipment.

In the movie, the ZGMF-2025/F Warrior Danger and ZGMF-2027/A Strongman Stampede, which were provided by Rizaft to Compass for actual combat testing, appeared in large numbers as mass-produced machines.

In terms of underwater machines, ZAFT absorbed the appearance of the New Mislichi Kingdom's high-war crab, combined with his own Eshoo, and successfully developed Aslan's favorite ZGMF-MM07 Magic Crab.

Of course, there is no Justice Gundam in ZAFT's Magic Crab, but this machine is the same as the one in the movie, it can carry various backpacks and has first-class underwater combat capability.

Moreover, the Minerva, which had been repaired in South America, returned to the battlefield. This time, Lei took over the legendary Gundam, and Heine also had a new Gundam.

It's just that the name of Destiny Gundam was already taken by Red, and ZAFT was embarrassed to have the same name, and the new Gundam was just a technically improved version of Destiny Pulse.

The Light Cyclone Thruster has been changed into the improved official version, and the body's skeleton has also been replanned to become the same skeleton as the original Destiny Gundam. Nothing else has changed.

So the name of the new machine is Destiny Impulse Gundam 2.

The addition of this batch of new equipment and the Minerva allowed ZAFT to regain its equipment advantage, making up for their tactical gap with the East Asian Republic and gaining the upper hand in the first few battles when the new machines were put into battle.

However, the Eurasian joint army led by the East Asian Republic quickly stabilized its position, and both sides fiercely greeted the other side with artillery fire every day.

If the fight between the two sides on Earth is like boiling water, then on the universe side it is a volcano about to erupt.

On the surface, there is no war in the universe at all, and all forces are staying in their own territories.

Even the L4 colonial satellite cluster, which is the most explosive, has had fewer minor frictions because one group is busy secretly building various weapons and the other group is not focusing on the war.

However, Aslan, who returned to the terminal, was ready to take action after a series of intelligence investigations.

In PLANT, Aslan's status is that he was captured by unidentified "terrorists" and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Now all the blame lies with Isaac. I heard that he has been subjected to many stimulating, physically and mentally exhausting interrogations by the Investigation Bureau within ZAFT.

At the same time, as Yitzhak's deputy, Diego was locked up afterwards even though he read out the report himself and accused Yitzhak of murdering Aslan in public.

As soon as the hypnosis was over, Diego wanted to overturn Isaac's case, because Aslan had reminded them that Aofi and his gang knew hypnosis.

However, after long-term contact, Isaac and Diego did not discover any hypnosis, which led to them relaxing their vigilance against them.

This proved that what Aslan said about hypnosis was true. Diego slapped himself wildly while watching himself identifying Isaac.

However, Aslan also said that as long as one is aware of the hypnosis, one can resist it with willpower. If the willpower is strong enough, hypnosis will be ineffective.

Diego believed that he had strong willpower and would definitely not be hypnotized again, but just when he was about to look for someone, he was caught by Aoi who was well prepared.

The reason is that they found strong evidence proving that Diego was also involved in the attack on Aslan, and his previous cooperation was only to protect himself.

As for where the evidence came from, it was naturally forged by Aofei and others. Anyway, Isaac had been arrested, and some evidence of conspiracy was found in his room. Who could say it was false?

Now the Sara faction members who were originally loyal to Aslan in the Armory Colony Satellite hate the two traitors, Isaac and Diego.

Now Aslan's supporters instantly split into two factions. After all, Isaac inherited his mother's connections and originally provided Aslan with considerable help.

After Aslan learned about the situation in Armory City from the terminal, he knew that it was not advisable to contact the confidants in Armory City rashly, because you have no idea who has been hypnotized by Aofei and his gang.

Therefore, Aslan went the other way and contacted Durandal's base directly to find the Executive Committee Chairman Orson White. This Orson White was a very important person. As early as CE70, when Siegel was in power, he was the Executive Committee Chairman, but at that time he was a member of the neutral radical faction.

After Patrick came to power, he naturally stayed in office since he was originally a radical.

He remained in office in the subsequent interim government of Irene Kanaba, and he also remained in office during the two reorganizations of the Supreme Council after Durandal came to power.

The only members of the PLANT Supreme Council who have served for four terms are him, Louise Leitner, the Chairperson of the Judicial Committee, and Parnell Jesseck, the Judicial Committee Member.

However, the members of the judicial department are special and will not be moved around.

Moreover, Louise Leitner was a moderate, and she had a good relationship with Durandal, who entered politics as a member of the Klein faction.

This resulted in him and Parnell Jessek not daring to contact Aslan at all.

But Orson White is different. He and Patrick are old acquaintances and he is very politically savvy. The main reason why he can stay in the PLANT Supreme Council now is that the PLANT Supreme Council needs Durandal to have opponents.

Now that the Defense Committee Chairman is leaning towards Durandal, Orson White is the leader of the opposition.

Of course, Aslan was well aware that the antagonist, Orson White, was half an act.

Durandal has a high degree of control over the Supreme Council. Even if the council must have opponents, they must be the kind of opponents who can be "negotiated".

So it is certain that Orson White and Durandal had a private PY deal.

But Aslan said that no matter how many PY transactions Orson White had with Durandal, it was definitely not as many as the transactions he had with two successive Speakers, Siegel and Patrick.

You know, Durandal is a politician who changed his career halfway through his career. Although he is very capable, his political capital cannot be compared with Siegel and Patrick, who established the Zodiac Alliance and helped PLANT establish its country.

Although politics is a thing where people forget about each other, Aslan is just a junior.

But Lacus is on the list of important people. Aslan is now the one who can use the terminal. In the eyes of these politicians, he ultimately represents Red's support.

Don't think that Red's support counts as a DBUFF in PLANT. In PLANT's Supreme Council, most of Durandal's supporters will not allow Durandal to follow Patrick's example and become enemies with Red without authorization.

Red holds the most authoritative data on new human research, which is the future of all adjusters. As long as Red does not show his fangs, or PLANT makes a breakthrough in new human research, they can only communicate gently.

If Durandal took the initiative to make enemies, his position as Speaker would be instantly unstable.

For example, his secret order to occupy the former Mexican territory led to impeachment.

Only because Red didn't react afterwards did Durandal suppress the matter.

This is the special feature of the adjusters, that is, all of them have high IQs and their self-esteem is superior to that of natural persons. Compared with other governments, they appear to be very rational.

So when Orson White received Aslan's greetings through the terminal, he immediately thought a lot.

He suddenly realized that the attack on Aslan was most likely a political persecution and that Aslan was attacked by Durandal's men.

It’s just that Durandal was too well prepared, and now Aslan has no way to stand up and defend himself.

Orson White needs to make a decision here. He can tell Durandal the information that Aslan is contacting him so that he can prepare early. The young wolf king is already ready to show his teeth and claws.

By doing this, he can consolidate his position in Durandal, and as long as Durandal does not step down, he can continue to sit in his current position.

Of course, doing this would offend Aslan to death. If he ever had the chance to take the throne in the future, I would definitely be the first to be liquidated.

Another option is naturally to hide it from Durandal and try to communicate with Aslan first to see what he is going to do, and then decide what to do next.

The risk of doing this is that if Durandal finds out, he will start targeting me.

The good thing is that if Aslan returns in the future, he will definitely not be liquidated.

Orson White struggled with this choice for a long time, and finally decided to communicate with Aslan first.

The reason why he made this choice was simple, because Aslan was young enough and had a lot of political capital passed down by his predecessors. As long as he survived and did not commit treason, the future of PLANT would definitely be his.

Moreover, he was very clear that after Aslan and Galax worked together, they would have a lot of information that he could not tell others. If he really offended these two, even Durandal would not be able to save himself.

The most important thing is, if PLANT and the New Mischi Kingdom go to war again in the future, with the relationship between these two people, if Red wins, he will most likely not kill him.

So, Orson White wrote down a secret code that he had used to communicate with Patrick, and placed it in the place where he had secretly communicated with Patrick in August in Sykostiris.

As long as Aslan really received Patrick's political legacy and related information, he would be able to find this place and decipher the code.

Here, Orson White also expressed his attitude, which is, "Aslan, I agreed to this contact because of your father."

Of course, Aslan in this world inherited Patrick's political legacy and related information, and he also had Lacus to help him.

So as soon as Orson White took action, Aslan knew it. He quickly got the code and understood what Orson White wanted to communicate specifically.

So Aslan sent someone to ask Red for help.

Here, Aslan is not looking for Red to ask for Red's help in contacting Orson White or to provide any other intelligence support.

Aslan went to Red to borrow the dragon-shaped machine, the Red Dragon, that he had lent him.

The Infinite Justice of the terminal has actually been developed, but this machine is completely unsuitable for stealth, and there is only one Cavalier Elfrid, so it needs to be equipped with free strike equipment.

After all, Kira's Strike Freedom is the guarantee of Aslan's safety, and Aslan cannot drive the machine to meet people inside the colonial satellite.

The Red Dragon with its electronic camouflage system is the best infiltration machine. It can be placed on standby at a certain location on the colonial satellite, and Aslan is also familiar with its operation.

Red was in the L3 colony satellite cluster at the time, but after receiving Aslan's request, he immediately asked Angel to go to the secret base to transfer the Red Dragon to Aslan.

This machine has been kept in the warehouse since Aslan returned it, and no one has ever driven it. Now that he wants to borrow it again, it's natural to just give it to him.

Red was worried that no one could find something for Durandal to do, and the bigger the trouble Aslan made, the better.
