Chapter 123: Now we must focus on the next generation of hegemony
"Oh." When ordinary people heard this question and saw Alstad's identity as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, they would think that he would be furious.
You have to know that the Atlantic Federation right now has the "I and the Adjuster are mortal enemies" engraved on their foreheads.
But now, as the daughter of a high-ranking official of the Atlantic Federation, she actually said in front of Alsda that she wanted to invest in an adjuster?
Isn’t this a huge joke?
Is it possible that the sun will rise from the west today?
Logically speaking, no matter how much Alsda doted on his daughter, he would definitely not agree.
But something shocking happened. Alsda looked at his daughter in front of him and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and did not use his identity as a father, but as a senior official of the Atlantic Federation to forcibly stop Frey's idea.
Instead, he asked in a tone of equal discussion.
"Tell me what you think. This is my personal opinion. Instead of investing in Kira, why not consider Wang Hu?"
Hearing this, Frey smiled as if everything was under control, and explained in a soft voice.
"At first, I also thought about investing in Captain Wang Hu, but after a period of contact and understanding."
"Captain Wang Hu is a man of strong will and determination. I will only be his vassal."
"Of course, considering Captain Wang Hu's future development, it's not impossible to become a decoration around him."
"But I spotted Kira again!"
At this point, Frey's tone became a little hurried, as if she wanted to express all her considerations as quickly as possible.
"Kira was my classmate in Heliopolis. His performance during his studies was mediocre compared to his status as an adjuster."
"But when he first piloted the Strike Gundam, he showed unparalleled talent."
"A commoner who has never received any military training has now become a warrior capable of fighting against the red elite of the ZAFT Army."
"Wait." Alsda interrupted his daughter for the first time and put forward his own opinion.
"Strong fighters are valuable, but they are not enough."
"Father, please listen to me." Fulei signaled her father not to interrupt her.
"There is an old saying in the East that in troubled times, the grass-roots kings can be kings. Today, the power of the times of great struggle can bring power and status."
"And if it's just because of Kira's power, then my reason for wanting to invest in him is really weak."
"But if we follow the vision of Captain Wang Hu, who is a combination of the strong and the wise, I think the chance of failure will be infinitely reduced to zero."
"You mean Wang Hu thinks highly of Kira?" His eyes flickered and Alstar was moved.
If the young man named Kira catches Wang Hu's eye, his value will be much greater.
As a senior official in the Atlantic Federation's power structure, he knows the importance of East Asia and the East Asian Army in the world.
At a time when the allied forces are completely silent, only the performance of that country is eye-catching.
Combined with historical allusions, every major war will give birth to one or two dominant overlords.
Then there is no doubt that East Asia is far ahead of its competitors.
For this reason, Alsda, who was born in the DEEO STATE group and has his roots there, has discussed the future world pattern with his colleagues at many gatherings.
Alsda lowered his head and weighed the pros and cons. Wang Hu was a rising star in East Asia, and he originally simply thought that he was a star.
However, after meeting him today, I can judge his character by observing his actions and listening to his words.
He realized that Wang Hu was more than just a general, and his future was immeasurable with his abilities!
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. Kira, who is valued by Wang Hu and follows Wang Hu, has a 90% chance of occupying a high position in the East Asian Army in the future!
"Are you sure you can control Kira? How important is Kira in Wang Hu's heart?"
Looking up again, Alsda asked, these two questions are very crucial.
Otherwise, Alsda would rather his daughter become a decoration for Wang Hu to show off.
"Kira will become my servant who I give orders to, provided that Wang Hu and I do not come into conflict. But please rest assured, Dad, I will never let things get to that point."
Naked ambition was revealed on her face, and Frey had a clear understanding of herself. At the same time, she also responded to another point that her father was concerned about.
"Wang Hu is very concerned about Kira. The fact that he gave up piloting the Strike Gundam for this is proof of that."
"Strike Gundam?" Thinking again, Alstar patted his knees lightly, and he combined what he saw and heard.
Especially the cutting-edge machine Z Gundam that suddenly emerged as the runner-up in this battle.
"Maybe Wang Hu didn't give up the Strike Gundam just because of Kira." He checked the missing parts for his daughter.
"Wang Hu may also look down on the G plan led by our Atlantic Federation. The Gundam developed by the East Asian Army itself has stronger performance."
"But." Alsda waved his hand to stop his daughter from making any rebuttals and said with a smile.
"You can give it a try, but don't be too hasty to place your bets yet. Just hold on to Kira. It won't be too late to place your bets once you're sure everything is correct."
"Perhaps I will need your help to take things a step further in the future."
"Dad?" Frey asked happily, worried and happy at first. "You mean?" "As the war progresses, the Atlantic Federation is not a monolithic entity. Behind Blue Cosmos is the military-industrial complex LOGOS."
"But after all, the Federation is not just LOGOS that can cover the sky with one hand. People in the medical consortium, financial consortium, energy and other systems have already complained about the poor performance of the Atlantic Federation Army."
"If this continues, the hegemony of the Atlantic Federation will be shaken and East Asia will take advantage of the situation. In order to maintain its own position and gain a foothold in the future pattern."
"Flei, guess what will happen to LOGOS?"
"What choices will the other forces in the Federation make for the future? Capital is free and has no loyalty."
"Then" Fulei's eyes lit up terribly when she started her little head!
"Deputy Foreign Minister Alstar is a wonderful person." Wang Hu took Li Chengzhi and Zhang Hong back to his room.
Just as Fulei and her daughter were discussing him and Dongya, Wang Hu and the other two were also discussing the father and daughter.
"We can get in touch with Alsda, which comes from the DEEO STATE group and is worthy of our investment."
Li Chengzhi nodded in agreement. "For the hegemony of the next era, we need to make a move on the power map in advance."
"This way, when integrating the forces of the Earth Sphere, we can reduce a lot of fearless internal consumption of resources."
"Hey, hey, hey." Zhang Hong stared at Li Chengzhi and said, "Please don't always say that I have a background."
"This will make a soldier like me who comes from an ordinary background feel very oppressive!"
"What is our current military rank? Is it necessary for us to worry about such a big thing so early?"
"You won't be laughed at if you tell others, but I will be laughed to death."
"Tsk." Li Chengzhi, who was making plans for the development of East Asia, felt quite unhappy when he saw Zhang Hong waving his hands.
In Li Chengzhi's eyes, Zhang Hong, who is unruly and likes to use tentacles, is a disgrace to the East Asian Army.
"Okay, don't be angry." Although Wang Hu also couldn't accept the tentacle fetish, his bottom line was more flexible than his friend.
He turned to Zhang Hong and asked, "Tell me about the current war situation in the Earth Sphere.
"We are too isolated from information on the Archangel, and our army already has good things like the Z Gundam.
In fact, what Wang Hu really cares about is the Z Gundam. After all, in his memory, the East Runner didn't have this thing originally.
Zhang Hong slept on Wang Hu's bed like Ge You. "I brought the battle report with the specific details, so I won't waste my words here."
"It is worth talking about the Z Gundam matter, as well as the higher-ups' future plans for our three squadrons."
"Hurry up and speak!" Wang Hu didn't care about Zhang Hong's attitude, Li Chengzhi would not indulge him.
His father kept the matter of Z Gundam a secret from him, and he was unaware of it until it happened.
He had been itching to build his own Z Gundam since the first time he saw it.
Not to mention something as crucial to progress as the future of the Third Brigade.
"Z Gundam comes from VMSAWRS, Variable Mobile-Suit And Wave-Rider System - that is, the tactical variable MS and WR system."
"As you know, most of our pilots are from Flying Mobius. Considering the need to balance driving habits and universal use in the atmosphere and space, the development results are what you see before you."
"Oh." Wang Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Universal weapons are in line with my family's consistent style. It is our tradition to make the best use of every penny."
"Did our army start developing the G plan when Halberdon proposed it?"
"No." Glancing at Wang Hu, Zhang Hong shook his head. "It is said that Chief Engineer Zhu signed the document in front of all the elders in the cabinet after the first deployment of the Adjuster into MS."
"This." Wang Hu and Li Chengzhi were surprised. When MS first appeared?
At that time, the Adjusters had not yet invested in the neutron jammers.
Although MS had advantages on the battlefield, it was not overwhelmingly strong in the later stages and was difficult to deal with in front of the Allied Forces at the time.
And then Chief Engineer Zhu and others began to take action?
Such foresight is terrifying!
That's not right! Wang Hu suddenly came to his senses. If that's the case, why is East Asia such a weak position in the original world line?
"You don't know." Zhang Hong said lazily.
"It is said that in order to develop a Gundam belonging to our army, and to have an overwhelming Gundam, Chief Zhu and his team had a very difficult time at the beginning."
"The progress of development has been slow to show results. It was only until you made a breakthrough at Nova that the research and development progress was able to advance at a rocket speed."
"Chief Engineer Zhu even joked privately that he was blessed by your good fortune!"
"As for the results of Project G, it would be a waste if we don't take them. We invested money in it."
"That's exaggerated." Wang Hu had some judgment in his mind. Could it be that the support provided by Homeland not only had an obvious impact on the template, but also indirectly affected the force he belonged to?
Definitely! Combining his own memories, Wang Hu could only come to this conclusion.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the timing of the progress is so coincidental.
"It seems that Wang Hu, you are still a lucky star." Li Chengzhi said jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Chief Engineer Zhu and the others were just joking. If your words get out, it will affect my progress."
With a wave of his hand, Wang Hu was definitely not bold enough to accept such a credit.
"What about our future plans?"
Of course it was a joke. Li Chengzhi saw through this point better than Wang Hu. He changed the subject and asked.
