Chapter 134 No One Is Simple
Standing silently and with great interest at the back, Wang Hu and Li Chengzhi had no intention of stepping out to act as peacemakers for the time being.

The two were either in the mood to watch a big show, or they were expecting to see an opening that didn't match their memory.

In short, they were both very patient.

Seeing Mu and the other leader engaging in a verbal battle, Wang Hu, who was smiling, poked Li Chengzhi beside him and said.

"Did you see anything?"

Test me?

Li Chengzhi glanced at Wang Hu and thought to himself, do you really think that all those years I studied international relations were in vain?

"We want the right to take the lead, which means we have the ticket to sit at the table and share the cake after we win."

"It's different from what you described. We didn't work together to harm Mr. Tiger. So many things can only be put on the table and fought for."

Yes, what Ashman, the leader of the North African Liberation Front, was doing at this time was just like what a certain country did when it entered the European battlefield during the First World War in the old times.

A certain country at that time was not as awesome as it is in later generations, although during the First World War in the old era, it was a life-saving straw for a certain camp in terms of productivity.

However, a certain country's international status and military status are looked down upon by everyone on the European battlefield.

So much so that when a country really decided to send troops to the European battlefield and actually participated in the war, the country's troops were essentially positioned as vassal troops at the beginning.

If the country’s army does not even have independent command, then what else could it be but a vassal army?
And if one is regarded as a servant without independent command, what qualifications does he have to succeed in victory?

Sit at the table with the so-called master and share the final victory cake?
"He's a character."

Wang Hu spoke softly, expressing his agreement with Li Chengzhi's analysis.

In the original timeline, perhaps it was because Ashman thought that he helped the Archangel at a critical moment and killed several of Tiger's Bakus in one fell swoop.

I am the benefactor of the Archangel.

In addition, the Archangel's biggest backer at the time, Halbertson of the Eighth Fleet, had already died.

In Ashman's eyes, the Archangel was just a fleeing stray dog, and the limit of using it to attack the Desert Tiger Bartfield was just a little bit.

Success is joyful, but failure is no loss.

After all, the Archangel is not his own ship, and he doesn't know whether he matters in the eyes of those big shots.

In this case, is the issue of status important?

But now it’s different. The Archangel has also become famous.

At this time, the boss behind the scenes was still there, and the East Asian Kirin was also on this ship!
All of a sudden, the value of the Archangel would be completely different if they could finalize their identities as equal partners before joining forces!
For example, an equal and far-leading partner, and a labor company that simply provides human resources services to the leader.

Anyone can see the difference between the two, right?
Perhaps on the world stage, Ashman is still a joke in the eyes of real bigwigs.

But at least Ashman's name and person have caught the attention of the big shots, right?
Besides, apart from the world stage, in this corner of North Africa, there is the Desert Dawn led by Ashman himself.

Is scorpion poop poisonous?
Just ask those colleagues in the resistance organization around who also have the name of Da Po Tian, ​​but are actually just that level.

Who among you can get such an identity! Who among you wouldn't look up to me?
After all, the name Desert Dawn sounds intimidating, but in reality it is just a team of two or three cats, big and small.

Compared with the numerous peers around us, there is really no obvious advantage!
Cagalli is a big money sponsor, but for a resistance organization that can form a team around it, does it mean there is no money sponsor behind it?

We really can't do that because of Bartfield in the original timeline, the man who was able to defeat the main heavy ground forces of the Eurasian Federation.

After several attacks on Ashman's team, they mistakenly believed that this organization was a serious threat to the Desert Tigers.

In fact, if this organization had not been involved with Archangel, it would be hard to say whether Bartfield would have taken this organization seriously.

There aren't enough famous generals on the PLANT to this extent, and there's no need for the ZAFT headquarters to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Looking at the Desert Dawn in the original world, it is just a makeshift guerrilla group.
"Wang Hu, I think we should stop them from arguing, or they might actually start fighting."

After watching the noisy and spitting noise for a while, Li Chengzhi frowned.

"I think we are all wrong. Ashman wants to seize the initiative and establish himself as an independent partner of Archangel."

"But Malu and Mu didn't seem to think about it at all. They simply thought that they lacked a bottom-level perspective."

"Because of their past misdeeds, the other party is unwilling to accept the alliance with Archangel?"

"It's possible." Wang Hu listened for a while and found that the conversation between Mu and Ashman was simply a conversation between two people who were talking at cross purposes.

It was obvious that both of them regarded the Desert Tiger Bartfield as a great enemy in their hearts, and both wanted to join forces to kill the tiger.

But even with such a common goal, it is strange that we cannot reach an agreement.

Mu is certainly a smart man. Born into a wealthy family and having received elite education since childhood, he has a thorough understanding of many things.

But perhaps it was because of what Ashman said before, that the Atlantic Federation took away the resources of this land but was too stingy to give a piece of bread.

Because of his family background, the clever Mu Yiye blindly categorized Ashman as an extremist nationalist who was unfriendly to the Atlantic Federation.

So he tried every means to change Ashman's thinking in order to create a basis for cooperation.

Otherwise, because of his natural position, he would conflict with the group that Ashman claimed to represent, and Mu really didn't feel comfortable leaving his back to the other party.

As for Ashman, he just talked about it verbally, purely using it as a stepping stone and bargaining chip to fight for subsequent matters.

But Mu just held him back, so he couldn't bring himself to talk about cooperation later, otherwise the younger brothers behind him would have had some ideas. Well, you were denouncing the other party before, and now you proposed cooperation. What's the difference between that and a dog barking with a bone in its mouth?
"Chief Ashman and Mu, please stop for a moment and listen to me."

Wang Hu roughly guessed what was going on, and he finally squeezed out of the crowd and stood in front.

"As Chief Ashman said before, the Atlantic Federation has had flaws in its way of doing things since ancient times."

First, Wang Hu affirmed Ashman's statement and stopped Mu from refuting.

Then, Wang Hu looked at Ashman, whose expression had obviously relaxed a lot, glanced at the person behind him and continued.

"But we also have a saying in East Asia that in order to defeat a common enemy, we should unite all those who can be united."

"We can put aside our past disputes for this purpose. Once the enemy is defeated, we can discuss anything."

"Wang Hu." Mu felt that Wang Hu's rhetoric was useless. If it was useful, why would Ashman drag him over to talk about it?
"Captain Wang Hu?" To Mu's surprise, Ashman seemed to want to argue with him about right and wrong just now.

At this time, his attitude towards Wang Hu was very good, and he had a smile on his face and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"As expected of you, you are the Kirin of East Asia. Compared to the Atlantic Federation over there, the people of East Asia can be called friends of the people living on this land."

"Huh?" Malu and others cried out in confusion as they watched Ashman's attitude change 180 degrees.

You were arguing with us until you were red in the face, why do you act like this when Wang Hu comes?

The Atlantic Federation is a big country that is not inferior to East Asia. How can you treat it differently?

However, what they don’t know is that as major powers, their approaches to dealing with small countries are different.

In the old history, citizens could be divided into first, second and third classes, and as a big country, only those big countries could do it.

It is really hard for a big country that behaves like this to be trusted or looked up to.

Oh, by the way, they keep talking about humanitarianism, but when something happens, they rely on their status to take sides and deny true humanitarianism.

Is credit bankruptcy weird?

"Before the war, many East Asian businessmen came to invest here, and your East Asian government also provided us with a lot of assistance."

As he spoke, Ashman waved his hand behind him, signaling his men to put down their guns.

In fact, there was no need for Ashman to signal. Seeing Wang Hu's East Asian face, many of his men had already put away their guns.

"Maybe it's because we've been caught in the rain before, so we know the pain of being caught in the rain."

Wang Hu smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand.

"With Baltfield, I feel like we can have an equal partnership."

"Hahaha." Ashman laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Glancing at the Atlantic Federation people behind Wang Hu, Ashman sincerely felt that the character of East Asians was well-deserved.

It is much better than those people who want to be a big shot and also put on a good reputation.

Moreover, compared with the Atlantic Federation Army, whose credit is directly negative, the credit of the East Asian Army is also well-known in the desert.

"Welcome, the most distinguished guest in the desert."

Having obtained what he wanted, Ashman immediately performed the etiquette of welcoming the most distinguished guest in the desert.

Then he wanted to invite Wang Hu to visit his base so that he could further finalize the details of the cooperation at the welcome banquet.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too much of a discrimination." Mu felt that his previous arguing behavior was so stupid, and why didn't you, Wang Hu, stand up earlier.

Is it fun to hide behind the crowd and watch the jokes?
At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere on the field was developing in the direction of everyone being happy, the blonde girl in the vest who had been staying in the back suddenly rushed out.

"Why are you on the Archangel? Are you the Kirin from East Asia?"

At the beginning, we knew that there was a so-called East Asian Kirin on the Archangel, but Cagalli, who had run away from home, didn't know who this Kirin was.

Just like in the original world line, when Cagalli first saw someone coming down from the Strike Gundam, she acted indiscriminately, and no one knew what her mentality was.

At that time, Cagalli wanted to slap Kira, and now she made a scary face.

The girl standing in front of Wang Hu gritted her teeth as if she saw her enemy!
This sudden scene made everyone present feel startled.

In this regard, Mu did not want to put his hand on the gun at his waist as if to protect Kira like he did in the original world line.

But his eyes were fixed on Ashman, as if he wanted to see how the leader would react.

"Cagali?" Ashman didn't notice Mu's eyes. In fact, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

One is the big money sponsor behind the organization, the other is the Kirin representing East Asia, the hope for the organization to move to a higher level in the future.

Caught between these two people, Ashman quickly weighed who to give up.

Fortunately, just when Ashman was already hesitating to abandon Cagalli, he realized that it was easy to find a sponsor but opportunities were rare.

Exhaling deeply, Cagalli turned around and left with a grim expression.

The situation eased instantly.
