"It's okay, I understand."

Lao Lai smiled heartily, and then comforted Lao Xi and said: "I'm actually fine here, but I'm just afraid of unnecessary casualties and dampening everyone's enthusiasm.

It's really difficult on your side.

So, what are you going to do next?”

"Have some ideas."

Lao Xi nodded, narrowed his eyes and said, "I checked the person Guo Yi mentioned, and I am planning to send a message to Sigel Klein through him."

"That's good."

After hearing Lao Xi's words, Lao Lai nodded: "That's it for now. We'll talk about it if we have anything to do."

"good."

"..."

On January 20, at the Orb colonial satellite Heliopolis, the GAT-X series of MS and the new battleship "Archangel" secretly developed by the Earth United and Orb jointly secretly left the factory.

At the same time, Marchio was entrusted by Lao Xi and came to P.L.A.N.T. again.

"Teacher Malchior."

April City, Klein's residence, Marchio was lucky this time and met Siegel Klein directly here.

"Chancellor Sigur Klein, Lux, Guo Yi."

Marchio greeted everyone with a smile, and sat down with the help of Lux.

The last time Malchio acted as an intermediary between the Earth United and p.l.a.n.t, it did not affect the relationship between Sigurd Klein and him.

After Sigel Klein waited for him to sit down, he asked him with a smile: "Marchio, what is the purpose of your visit to P.L.A.N.T. this time?"

"Um."

Marchio nodded and said sternly to Sigel Klein: "I am entrusted by Mr. Dongya to ask you a question."

"you say."

Sigurd Klein sat upright and looked at Marchiot seriously.

"He wanted to know what P.L.A.N.T. thought of East Asia?

What do you think?"

Marchio said softly: "Does ZAFT want a space port or a formal war with East Asia?"

"Please tell this to Lao Xi."

Siegel Klein said sternly without hesitation: "What we want is a space port, and we have no intention of becoming an enemy of East Asia!

For the losses caused to them by occupying the space port this time, we p.l.a.n.t will secretly compensate them after the war.

So, I hope they will forgive me."

"Um."

Marchio nodded, then shook his head and said with a slight sigh: "Sure enough, Lao Xi was right."

After a pause, Marchio continued without waiting for Siegel Klein to ask: "Lao Xi guessed your answer, so he also told me something.

On January 23, he would cease artillery coverage.

By that time, ZAFT can take over the Kaohsiung Spaceport.

However, if ZAFT people or machines dare to step outside the scope of the space port, East Asia will default to p.l.a.n.t and formally declare war with them.

Until then, East Asia will fight P.L.A.N.T with all its strength.

As for the loss of the space fleet...

The position and situation were different at that time, so the matter was settled as it was."

"Um."

What Marchio relayed not only did not arouse Siegel Klein's anger, but actually made him breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, the situation is not bad."

After a pause, Siegel Klein and Marchio smiled and said, "Please tell him.

When peace comes, I will definitely visit him personally to thank him for his understanding."

"good."

Marchio nodded, and then stood up a little tiredly: "Then I will go back immediately and tell Lao Xi your answer."

"..."

After Marchio left, Guo Yi asked curiously: "He has always been like this..."

diligent?

The two times I saw him, he basically left after finishing his business, without drinking tea or eating. He is a very busy man!"

"There is no way, the current situation is too turbulent, and Teacher Malchio has been running for peace."

Lux shook her head slightly and explained to Guo Yi: "Because of the war between P.L.A.N.T. and the Earth Alliance, waste dealers need to frequently enter and exit the battlefield, and from time to time they are accidentally injured or arrested...

Every time, Teacher Marchionne needs to come forward to negotiate.

Therefore, Master Malchio is basically negotiating between the Earth United and P.L.A.N.T."

"I see."

"Father, are you worried about Dongya's attitude?"

After Lux answered Guo Yi's question, she and Sigel Klein asked curiously: "Why were you relieved when you heard that Dong Ya didn't interfere?

Among the three major forces of the Earth Alliance, isn’t East Asia the weakest?”

"weak?"

Siegel Klein smiled helplessly, and then explained to Lacus: "The so-called Earth Federation is currently just a combination of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation.

Although East Asia seems to be a member of the United Earth, East Asia is still East Asia.

The United Earth cannot command East Asia.

Do you think East Asia is strong or weak?"

After a pause, Siegel Klein and the two curious babies explained: "Among the three major forces, East Asia is the weakest in terms of strength.

However, if a war really breaks out, East Asia will be the strongest!

For the other two federations, if their strength is 100, it would be great if they can perform at 80.

As for East Asia...

Their strength may be 80, but they can perform at 100.

Tell me, who is stronger and who is weaker?"

"Um!?"

Lux nodded, then shook her head: "But, didn't we annihilate two fleets in East Asia and steal one of their resource satellites?

Dongya is actually so generous and doesn’t pursue those two incidents?”

"This is what I don't understand right now."

Siegel Klein shook his head with a wry smile: "Due to strategic issues, we also listed East Asia as a threat in the early stage and went to war with them.

However, until now, East Asia is still purely defensive and has no intention of starting a war with us...

In fact, this time we don't even plan to pursue the matter of our initiative to attack the space port.

I kind of don’t understand East Asia’s thinking.”

After a pause, Siegel Klein explained again without waiting for Lux to ask: "Yes, I also suspect that East Asia is waiting for P.L.A.N.T to unite with the Earth and both parties will suffer losses.

However, even if we and the earth unite and both sides suffer, East Asia cannot challenge us on its own.

Moreover, I think for the United Earth, p.l.a.n.t also has the buffer of the universe.

East Asia currently does not have the resources to rebuild the space army...

I suspect that East Asia blamed the United Earth for the destruction of its fleet and the robbery of its resource satellites.

They are probably waiting for P.L.A.N.T and the Earth Alliance to lose both sides, and have an explanation with the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation."

Speaking of this, Siegel Klein smiled and said: "No matter which way it is, East Asia does not seem to want to get involved in our joint war with the Earth.

This is enough for us.

As for whether East Asia will retaliate against us...

By the time East Asia can re-establish its space army, it is estimated that our strength at that time will no longer be afraid of East Asia.

Moreover, if East Asia really wants to appeal to those two federations, we will still be East Asia’s help.”

"..."

On January 23, with the acquiescence of East Asia and P.L.A.N.T., the Kaohsiung Spaceport was officially taken over by ZAFT.

After taking over the spaceport, ZAFT did not take any further military action as agreed, but instead hunkered down at the spaceport.

And on this day, Laolai Yitong also started the second step: the army pressed on the border!

And this army is really a "big" army.
Chapter completed!
