"impossible!"
"That is absolutely impossible!"
"Why should we give up the Carpentaria base we built with great difficulty!"
"Yes! That's just a conspiracy of the United Earth!"
"What is the base island of the solar power generation system!! I don't believe that natural people have this awareness!"
"They are obviously making some kind of weapon that we don't know about, but it is extremely lethal! If they are allowed to continue their actions, our PLANT will suffer the tragedy of Junius 7 again!!"
In the PLANT Supreme Council, the Defense Commissioner from ZAFT and the members of the Supreme Council are involved in a dispute over the notice sent by the East Asian Republic.
From the moment this notice was put on the table, the controversy has never stopped.
While the two parties in the debate were debating with each other, they were also secretly observing the reaction of Patrick Sala, who was sitting in his seat and remained silent.
But it is a pity that the acting speaker never expressed his views and just allowed them to argue.
Gradually, the MPs who had been unable to attack for a long time turned their attention to the other side, Yuri Amalfi.
In today's debate, Yuri Amalfi should have been the central figure in this debate.
But like Patrick Sala, he remained silent from the moment the issue began.
This has led many members of Congress to secretly believe that Yuri Amalfi adopted a strategy of keeping silent because his son, Nicol Amalfi, was released by the East Asian Republic.
Just as the argument was getting more intense, Patrick Sala's voice suddenly sounded.
"Everyone."
As soon as Patrick Sala opened his mouth, the "very lively" debate suddenly became quiet.
"I understand that you all have various views on this announcement. But first, I must correct your views. The one who issued this announcement to us was not the United Earth, but the Republic of East Asia. Will Nico
Al Amalfi and many ZAFT soldiers who were released were also from the East Asian Republic."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Even though the East Asian Republic has declared its existence to the world through the Nova Battle and the strong declaration and action on the route between Nova and the Sky Pillar, there are still many people among PLANT and ZAFT.
Confusing the Republic of East Asia and the United Earth together.
"Yes. Deputy Speaker Sara is right. It was the Republic of East Asia that issued the notice to us, not the United Earth. Everyone, please understand this clearly."
Yuri Amalfi followed Patrick Sala and expressed his opinion.
"Although I express my gratitude to the East Asian Republic for taking the initiative to release Nigel Amalfi and many ZAFT soldiers, here, I hope you can see this clearly. What has been oppressing us is the United Earth
, and it is also the Earth Alliance led by the Atlantic Alliance.”
"Yes, but the East Asian Republic is also a member of the United Earth."
A member of parliament said angrily.
"But apart from Nova and the Heavenly Pillar, has our ZAFT ever directly faced an attack from the East Asian Republic?"
The congressman on the other side directly expressed negative opinions.
"What's more, in the previous space port plan, the East Asian Republic even knew that ZAFT had launched an attack, but still used other methods to force us back! From the beginning to the end, the East Asian side had no hostility against our PLANT."
"Yes! Even if they propose conditions for exchanging prisoners, they are just asking us to provide more food, rather than asking ZAFT to withdraw from its current sphere of influence."
The scene of several congressmen criticizing each other with facts made the surrounding congressmen couldn't help but start talking.
True.
Since the Battle of Xinxing, the posture shown by the East Asian side has been an action strategy that is mainly defensive.
As the war became more intense, the East Asian side not only did not send more warships and new mobile suits to participate in the joint Earth war against ZAFT, but instead stayed at home, tinkering with the solar power generation system, and quickly
Solve the energy crisis and food crisis suffered by the country and surrounding areas.
This attitude of keeping oneself in mind and not caring about what is going on outside the window has made many congressmen have a good impression of East Asia.
What's more, the view emphasized by Patrick Sala that the United Earth and the East Asian Republics should be treated separately was also what the late former Speaker Sigal Klein had always insisted on.
Gradually, the situation began to change.
Those who opposed the announcement gradually retreated and fell into a disadvantage.
At this moment, Patrick Sala suddenly stood up.
"Okay! Everyone, there is no need to argue! We have reason to believe that the Republic of East Asia has indeed issued a notice for the construction of solar power generation systems. However, we must be on guard against others. We must send corresponding troops to monitor all this and avoid
Any accident occurs! The National Defense Committee will immediately formulate corresponding plans and dispatch relevant troops to prevent any accidents from happening!"
After a pause, Patrick Sala looked at Yuri Amalfi.
"Congressman Amalfi. Come with me after the meeting."
"Yes! Acting Speaker Sara."
Patrick Sala nodded, turned and left the council, followed by Yuri Amalfi and other entourage.
This scene undoubtedly means that the council has made a decision.
The congressmen looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.
Both those who agree and those who oppose feel that the Supreme Council has changed.
As a representative of the hard-line side, Patrick Sala is about to become the righteous Speaker of the Supreme Council.
And the next actions will probably provide a powerful boost to it.
Patrick Sala, who ignored the thoughts of the congressman, strode out of the Supreme Council, then slowed down slightly, waiting for Yuri Amalfi to follow.
"Is the kid Yuri Nigel okay?"
"Yes. After checking, there is nothing serious. I heard from Nigel that Dongya did not abuse him, but just kept him under house arrest for a period of time."
Yuri Amalfi nodded and smiled slightly.
"Really? This is good news."
Patrick Sala nodded slightly.
"Let's take advantage of this period to let Nigel have a good rest! It's also time for him to go see Asra and Lux. I believe the children have a lot to say."
"On the first day that Nico came back, after hearing about those things, he wanted to visit Aslan and Lux. Speaking of which, as a father, I am also a little bit embarrassed."
"Haha. It's nothing. The child is back, which is better than anything else!"
Patrick Sara paused, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Yuri, how is the progress of that technology? Maybe we will need it soon."
Yuri Amalfi's expression changed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
"A breakthrough has been made! I believe that miniaturized testing will be possible soon."
"Okay! I'm begging you! The power controlled by the enemy is gradually exceeding our expectations!"
