Not Super Robot Wars at All

Siegel Klein has danced on the tip of a knife all his life.

From the early years of planning PLANT independence with two friends to ZAFT's defeat and being ordered to take over the Supreme Council, each time is a situation of nine deaths, but each time he is turned over by him. The legendary experience is no more than that of the protagonist of some novels. Let it go. Klein believed that he could successfully overcome the difficulties encountered this time, and the key to opening the situation was the young man in front of him.

"Scholars like Dr. Adrian really hate me for talking about politicians like this." Different people have to use different methods, and for people like Adrian Lingoes, straightforwardness is far better than knocking on the sidelines. Effective, "Then I will go straight ahead. When the two things are delivered in the second half of the year, I hope to invite doctors to PLANT in the name of scientific investigation."

"Why?" The young man in front of him clearly showed a puzzled expression. It’s no wonder that, according to the agreement, the two nuclear power Gundams entrusted to Anaheim to be developed are equipped with small nuclear fission reactors and neutron interference cancellers. Therefore, after the end of the current period of work, the final assembly and commissioning will be completed in PLANT. Yes, Dr. Adrian will not be involved in the subsequent work.

"To be honest, I’m in a bad situation in China recently." For a collaborator like Adrian, it’s better to explain the stakes directly. Covering it up will give him the feeling of being used. "I wonder if the doctor has seen it." In this morning’s news, Senator Aznab publicly criticized the Speaker’s ruling philosophy."

"I did see this news." Adrian nodded. "But I thought it was a catch by the media? As far as I know, Senator Aznable doesn't seem to be someone who would say such things in public. ."

"There is indeed a certain degree of out-of-context, but it is a fact that he and my political views are not in line with each other." Klein rarely showed a trace of fatigue. "Actually, it's not just him, Patrick, ah, Senator Sara, and mine. Opinions are also divided. I believe you guessed it, he still can't forget the hatred. Now my position is a bit awkward."

As a star officer who has risen all the way up from the One Year War, Char Aznab has made great achievements. After entering politics, he quickly entered the Supreme Council with his strong personality and part of the political legacy of the Zabi family. In PLANT, he has Not inferior to the appeal of his daughter. This person was ruthless and deep-minded. Although young, even Klein couldn't see through. It would be great if this kind of person is his own ally, but the two have different political opinions. Aznabu has a lot of dissatisfaction with PLANT's current status quo, and he is a slightly more moderate reformer.

Patrick has the ability to be his old friend for many years, but he is not stable enough, easy to be sentimental and credulous. Of course, Klein understood the pain of losing his wife during the One Year War, but the chance of peaceful development that he has finally won is even more important. But Patrick has always been obsessed with the blood-stained Valentine’s Day. It is not impossible for him to restart the war without his own control, and Klein’s confidant Kluzer is not kind. Generation.

"Maybe, Dr. Adrian, you don’t care much about the Internet. Now there are a lot of discordant voices on PLANT." Klein smiled bitterly. "You are not afraid of making fun of you. Rong's jokes."

"The navy takes the rhythm, and the public opinion builds momentum. This is... Has the contradiction among the councillors intensified to this point?" Sure enough, talking to smart people is easy.

"In my opinion, I am afraid it is. For PLANT, the bilateral denuclearization created by the neutron jammer is the best result I think. The Earth Federation is not monolithic, and Britannia’s tail has always been a big one. The problem. In addition to the fact that the study of nuclear fusion is still in the foreseeable future, all this can at least fight for a 50-year period of peaceful development for PLANT." Klein never regarded Adrian as a pure scholar. This has been compared with last year. When he talked, he could see that the conversation and insight he showed when he persuaded himself was definitely not a genius scientist who became famous as a teenager. "Fifty years later, with the ability of an adjuster, he created a new technology under the deterrence. The peace of the country is completely predictable."

"What about famine caused by insufficient energy? What about people who starve to death?"

"The past has happened, and the sudden famine has been effectively resolved. Although it is a bit cold to say that, it is far better to maintain the current situation than to break out a full-scale war."

"Does Mr. Klein believe that he is the creator of peace?"

"Adjusters are naturally not invaders. This is determined by our population, geography and resources." This is Klein's core point of view all the time. He hopes Adrian can understand, "So in order to achieve peace, it is best The solution is to form a unilateral deterrence made by PLANT. In order to achieve this, what we need most now is time."

"But war, war has never changed. Struggle is human nature, and careerists like Kilian Zabi will always be born."

"Permanent peace is a great cause that can only be achieved by God. I just do what a human can do. This is not only my political aspiration, but also my ideal in life. I have been fighting for this for 30 years, and I have never felt ashamed. "

If it is a confrontation between the two powers, the ideal situation is to complete the political marriage and ease the relationship through the daughter, and time is on his side. Whether it is Patrick's son or Aznab, they are good marriage partners. But in such a three-legged situation, no matter which party you rashly approach, it will arouse a strong reaction from the third party, and it can only intensify the contradiction more quickly.

Whether it is for himself or his family, he needs time. Lacus has accumulated far beyond her own expectations in countless coveted eyes, and fortunately, she has the same ideals as her own and the ability to outperform her. Before she grows up, she inherits her own political legacy. Before, he had to stabilize the situation and never fall. He knows that once he loses power, everything he has worked so hard to build will be wiped out. For Lacus, it is already the happiest extravagant hope to become a plaything on the couch of a big man. In order to avoid all this, in order to buy time, he needs the support of Adrian Lingoes.

The young man in front of him was caught in a long exam, and then asked, "What does this have to do with inviting me to PLANT?"

That's it. Siegel Klein thought of it.

…

Ed's senses for Lux are quite complicated. It is neither pure fan nor pure black, but Siegel Klein has always been just Lux's father to him. It wasn't until last year that he did a careful study of his life in order to reach a deal with him for a neutron interference canceller. But Klein's speech now made this person's image really come alive in his own mind.

"What does this have to do with inviting me to PLANT?"

"Because of the existence of the neutron interference canceller. Just like you said just now, bilateral denuclearization is the ideal situation for me. I firmly oppose this kind of thing. The neutron interference canceller is Patrick's will. The result of this, but by the time I found out, I was already powerless to stop him."

"This thing is simply the perfect fuse for war, isn't it."

"Exactly. As the peace continues, the Federal Army, which will gradually decline in status, and the radical racists hit it off. You know what happened to Brigadier General Hyman, Doctor." Klein crossed his fingers on his chest and his expression became more serious. "The neutron interference canceller's PLANT and the upper level of the moon are already known to some people, and it is only a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the Federation. At that time, I am afraid they will take the risk, so in order to avoid this day, I need to-"

"—Inhibition, to deter the Federation so that they cannot act easily." Ed took the conversation, he already fully understood what the other party meant, "So I am about to win the Moon’s Most Outstanding Person Award, and I seem to be able to represent the will of the moon. It's the most suitable candidate. You need me to visit PLANT to create an illusion of intimacy between PLANT and the moon. It's a good idea, maybe it will last a few years, but after a few years?"

"In the past few years, I will do my best to make the Supreme Council have only one voice to make people believe that we destroyed the neutron interference canceller, or," Klein paused, "be prepared for war."

"I understand what you mean." Klein is a complete conspiracy, telling you all the plans, can you be used by me, to be honest, Ed can hardly feel sick to him, "but this If I do, my position on the moon is also embarrassing."

"Doctors don't worry about this." Klein's face has already begun to show a smile, "All operations are initiated by PLANT. Externally, it is said that the doctors are invited to conduct scientific research exchanges. The internal name is that the two MSs are back There are technical problems that require the doctor to take action. Today, our lunch is also after I heard that the deformable skeleton was completed, I couldn’t help but ask the doctor about the progress of our MS. What the doctor needs to do is only when you finally ask for your opinion. Just nod your head. Even if things are revealed in the future, you are just a naive scholar used by a despicable politician, and you will only be treated as a victim."

The arrangement was so perfect, Ed couldn't help but laughed, "Then what good is this for me?"

"Didn't the benefits have been given last year?"

"...Neutron interference canceller." Ed sighed, "I am now glad that we are not enemies, and I am more aware that I have no political talent. I was still complacent about my performance in persuading you last year..."

"Your speech last year is indeed commendable, and it is by no means meaningless." Klein loosened his crossed hands, took a cup and drank, "Without your speech at that time, we wouldn't be today. Dialogue. That’s why I chose to be honest with you, Doctor, and not anyone else."

"In principle, I agree." Although I know that Klein's words are flattering, I can't help but feel happy after hearing this. This is human nature. "But as you just said, I will only be at the end. Nod, don’t do anything extra."

"That's enough." Klein was obviously very happy, and even cut the steak that was almost cold. "The little girl will be very happy too. She keeps saying that she wants to see Dr. Adrian."

"Ling Ai would say such things?" This is flattery again, he has been posing as a fan of Lux in front of him, "This is not the same as the image of Miss Lux in my mind."

"You'll know when you see the little girl, I'm telling the truth." Klein smiles like a kind neighbor next door, no one can associate him with a scheming politician." At that time, please be sure to appreciate the doctor and come to my house as a guest."

…

C.C. was lying on the sofa watching TV with a Harrow pillow. The content of the program was quite boring, and it was just time for playing. Boredom is not unbearable to her, she has long been used to it. Suddenly there was a noise in the hallway, the sound of opening the door.

C.C. sat up awkwardly, looking in the direction of the hallway, Ed walked in.

"Did it take so long this year?"

"No, it's the same as in previous years." Ed casually threw the bag on the sofa and opened the refrigerator to find a drink. I just talked to Klein with a dry mouth and didn't feel embarrassed to drink too much water in the restaurant. "Klein is here and invited me to PLANT to investigate. He is responsible for talking about the moon, as long as I nod at the end. I agree. ."

"Isn’t that good? You’ve been living on the moon for too long. It’s time to go out." The bag hit the sofa, and a beautifully wrapped gift box slid out from it. CC picked it up and shook it. "This What is it?"

"The gift Klein gave was specially prepared for me. I will definitely like it." Ed offered himself a large cup of tea drink, and a tearing voice came from behind, "What's inside?"

"..."

"What's wrong? What's inside?"

"That's it... I said it, no wonder... It turns out that you are so good...!"
