Macross Empire

The reason is actually very simple. In addition to the Orb Republic providing high-priced food and daily necessities to the PLANT satellite group in exchange for industrial products for profit, the biggest income of the Orb Republic is the sale of weapons produced to South America, the Middle East, Africa and many other hot spots. The major armed forces, just like the American military-industrial groups in the main world, use this kind of bloody funds to guarantee their high income and attract funds and talents to join with "neutrality".

Otherwise, how can a small fart country without the energy lifeline of oil like the big dogs in the Middle East of the main world, and without a vast land space and other resources, be able to be unique in "Gundam SEED"?

It is precisely because of the long-term good relationship with various forces in Africa and even PLANT that the old lion of Orb is more assured that his precious daughter has gone to the North African desert, otherwise you think that the old lion of Orb is really out of his mind. water?All kinds of irrationality in the anime are fine, but this is the real world...

"Your Excellency, I don't know how I should address you?"

However, after Li Yuan was distracted for a while, Saibu Ashoma led Li Yuan and his party into the simple command room, and then Saibu Ashoma whispered to Li Yuan with a smile that could be called "flattering". Said.

Sebu Ashoma's attitude is not surprising at all. In this sandy place, the person who can become the leader by his own ability definitely has a much better understanding of force than others.Not to mention that the current situation is quite favorable and it is a super behemoth of the United Earth, the Archangel alone can easily trample the Dawn Desert to death a hundred times.Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Sebu Ashoma's attitude is a little lower!

"Oh, you can call me Li Yuan. Also, if you have anything to say, just say it! I don't like to beat around the bush..." After thinking for a while and understanding Sebu Ashoma's situation and thoughts, Li Yuanrao After looking at the other party with interest, he said to Sebu Ashoma very simply.

Beside Li Yuan, Marius Ramias, the royal sister, except for looking at the command room underground in this simple cave, simply stood beside her man without saying a word, just watching with some curiosity. What is Sebu Ashoma going to do in this situation.

"Mr. Li, it's like this, our Dawn Desert is a resistance organization against ZAFT's invasion..."

Hearing Li Yuan's kind but straight-forward words, Saibu Ashuma heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and then continued to express his intentions to Li Yuan and Maru with a charming smile on his face...

……

Later, inside the Archangel's conning tower.

"Seb Ashoma, that guy wants our support? Even Earth United's recognition???"

Listening to Marius Ramias and Li Yuan recounting the conversation just now, and forgetting about the others, Natal Bakilulu asked in disbelief.

"That's right! That guy Sebu Ashoma is not stupid, he didn't think of any other impossible things..."

Sitting on the seat in the command tower, Li Yuan moved one hand on Maru's waist or even below, confirming Natal Bakilulu's words, and revealing a little bit about Sebu Ashoma's words. Approving tone.

In the conversation just now, Sebu Ashoma, whose situation is quite different from the original plot of "Gundam SEED", was quite sensible, and did not propose any idea of ​​the United Archangel dealing with the "Desert Tiger". Propose to use certain supplies to trade with the Archangel, and test whether the proposal is recognized by the United Earth Army!

——In the African and Mediterranean theaters of the ZAFT army, large resistance organizations are backed by the United Earth, such as small and medium-sized resistance organizations such as Dawn Desert, unless they have really done a few big things and mixed up a lot Otherwise, it is more of a resistance organization spontaneously organized because of hatred with the ZAFT army.As a matter of course, the strength and equipment of such self-organized small and medium-sized resistance organizations usually make people cry.

If Sebu Ashuma tentatively proposed that the organization recognized by the United Earth side through the Archangel, it would definitely be a great thing to get assistance from the United Earth side.And even if it is unsuccessful, according to Saibu Ashoma's idea, it is a stable thing for the Dawn Desert to exchange food, water and other supplies to some military items and weapons such as medicines and weapons on the Archangel. It's a good thing that you don't lose money!

"Yuan, what's your idea?" Hearing Li Yuan's slightly appreciative answer, Natal Bakilulu raised her eyebrows, and then seriously asked Li Yuan's opinion.

"Let's exchange for some food and water! But don't be too polite, after all, we are not begging them..."

Regarding this issue, Li Yuan, who left under the pretext of "returning to discuss" with Saibu Ashoma, didn't pay much attention to it at all.After looking at the women present, I continued to ask: "Next, I plan to take that big pink...cough cough, it's that Miss Lacus Klein to meet the Desert Tiger, is there anyone willing?" Come with me to see the oasis city in the desert? By the way, we have to replenish some supplies for the Archangel!"

"I'm going to see it!"

"I also plan to visit the desert oasis city in this world..."

"No need! At least someone has to stay on the battleship."...

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Fleur decisively said that she would go to have a look. CC thought for a while and nodded in agreement, while Maru and Natal Bakilulu thought about it and rejected this kind of thing.

……

The next morning, in the dim wee hours before the sun even came out.

"Let's go!!!" At the canyon entrance of the Liming Desert base, after watching eight desert off-road vehicles getting ready, Li Yuan ignored the watching members of the Liming Desert and the little lion, and gave the order without hesitation.

Accompanied by a few sounds and the roar of the engine, the eight desert off-road vehicles started to start, and then, under the guidance of a guide provided by Liming Desert, they wore Li Yuan, CC, Lacus Klein, Fleur and Ten A number of strengthened soldiers galloped towards a certain direction in the desert...

Chapter 264 Meeting with the Tiger

The sun gradually rose, allowing a group of off-road vehicles speeding at a speed of more than [-] kilometers to enjoy the scorching sunshine in the desert environment.

"Mr. Li Yuan, how long will it take us to reach the city we are going to?"

After sitting for more than three hours, Lacus Klein, feeling a little numb all over, looked at Li Yuan, who was hugging Fleur and CC, two girls he knew, and couldn't help asking.

Not like the anime plot of "Gundam SEED", the current big pink Lacus Klein was never held hostage by Natal Bakilulu and returned to PLANT.These days are spent on the Archangel. Except for Li Yuan, Marius Ramias, and Natal Bakilulu who can talk to them, the other outsiders on the Archangel (referring to the base La Yamato and Miriya Liya) basically didn't have much contact with Big Pink.

Now that he landed on the earth, Li Yuan, who was thinking about something important, invited Lacus Klein, who had been quietly on the boat, out, and then took her to the place where the Desert Tiger was hundreds of kilometers away. City.

The current Lacus Klein is wearing a slightly cute knee-length white dress and a light green short-sleeved top. Her fair and delicate skin looks extremely dazzling in the sun.And with the conspicuous long pink hair and sunglasses, the big pink under the scorching sun now looks full of the charm of a beautiful girl, and a hint of mystery.

"Miss Lacus, there are still about two hours away, please be patient..."

Looking at Lacus Klein, who already had a bead of sweat on his forehead even after turning on the air-conditioning in the car, Li Yuan, who is now hugging left and right, shrugged helplessly, feeling very sorry Said to Big Pink.

According to the news and maps of Liming Desert, the city where Andrew Balterfield is located in the ZAFT army headquarters in the North African theater that Li Yuan wants to go to is more than [-] kilometers away from the Liming Desert base.And even if it is less than five o'clock in the morning, it will take at least five hours for an off-road vehicle with hundreds of kilometers per hour to reach the destination.Although this situation allowed the Dawn Desert side to ensure that they would not be harassed by the ZAFT army (tigers are generally too lazy to go deep into the desert to wipe out the guerrillas), but for Li Yuan and his party who planned to go to the tiger's lair , Such a long cross-country desert journey is not a good experience-especially for the big pink girl Lacus Klein, the almost constant desert situation definitely makes her numb!

Listening to the "bad" news Li Yuan told herself, although Lacus Klein showed a trace of bitterness on her face, she nodded and continued to sit quietly on the seat.

……

More than two hours later, around eleven o'clock in the morning, a group of people finally approached the ZAFT military security checkpoint on the outskirts of the city called Baladiya.

"This is our ID!!!"

On the leading off-road vehicle, an enhanced soldier who had modulated Yuri's mind control ability didn't even bother to get out of the vehicle, and showed his ID card to the ZAFT officer in charge of the checkpoint with a proud face.

"...Yes, sir, please come in!"

Stopping the actions of those security force soldiers who pretended to be tigers, the ZAFT officer's eyes were a little confused, he directly took the certificate, checked it for a while, put his hands together and handed it back, and saluted the strengthened soldier.

After seeing this situation, the other security forces, ZAFT soldiers, and the two steel tank mobile suits on the checkpoint had no intention of blocking them at all. More than a dozen security force soldiers who realized that Li Yuan and his party might be "big shots" even It was to move the checkpoints away by hand, and to pull away the other convoys and crowds queuing up for inspection, and respectfully let Li Yuan and his party enter the city first, even omitting the steps of checking the items on the vehicles and whether there were weapons when entering the city !

"Eh? Do you still have the certificates of the ZAFT army???" Seeing this situation, Lacus Klein's eyes became a little curious, and then asked Li Yuan who was posing curiously. .

As the daughter and singer of the chairman of PLANT, Big Pink, who is now showing an innocent attitude, still knows the situation of the ZAFT army very well.Unless there are some secret departments and high-level military officer certificates, the person in charge of the checkpoint just now would not have made that kind of action.But the problem is that Li Yuan and his party are clearly members of the United Earth Army, and as a member of the United Earth Space Force, how could it be possible to carry a special certificate recognized by ZAFT ground army officers?
