When the negotiating delegation entered the Minerva, in order to show their sincerity, a very simple boarding ceremony was held at the request of the negotiating envoy.
As a key member of the Minerva, Aslan was also included in the ceremony.
When Aslan saw the mechanical bird 'Tori' on Frey's shoulder, Aslan understood that this was a signal that Kira wanted him to make contact.
He did not try to contact Fleur rashly, but touched the FAITH medal on his collar, and after the brief ceremony was over, he withdrew from the crowd of onlookers.
Fleur in the mission also noticed Aslan's leaving figure. She did not take any further radical actions, such as finding opportunities to pretend to be lost, or using some excuses to get close to Aslan.
That's too reckless!
It's enough to let Aslan see the mechanical bird on his shoulder!
As for what decision Aslan makes, it is not something she can control.
——————
Not only are the negotiations on the Gibraltar base stalled due to the different positions of the PLANT government and the military, but there are also different opinions within the PLANT Council on whether to cooperate with the conservatives represented by Li Boyong.
"I think it would be beneficial for us to try to cooperate, at least for now, to combat the bias against regulators."
"That's not necessarily true. If we help the conservatives attack the Legal Council, will the Alliance live in peace with us?"
"I'm afraid it just allows the other side to work together more. I think we should take advantage of the opportunity of joint internal fighting to expand our sphere of influence on the surface."
"Are you kidding me? Do you want to expand the war again?"
"Have you forgotten? This war was caused by natural persons using nuclear bombs as if nothing happened!"
The discussions among the MPs gradually became more acute.
"This war was out of necessity. Now that we finally have hope for peace, does your military headquarters hope to go back to the old path of Patrick Sala?"
Faced with such sharp accusations, the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, as the top leader of the ZAFT Army, could not sit still.
He ignored the other party's question and changed the subject, "Everyone, it's not that we ZAFT soldiers don't want peace, but that we need to consider the nature of this natural civil strife."
The topic about former Speaker Sarah was too sensitive. If you didn't answer well, you would be easily picked on, so he simply ignored the question.
After a pause, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee continued: "Colonel Li Boyong's speech was indeed shocking, but who can guarantee that after he attacks the Dharma Council, he will be willing or able to restore peace to the Union and us. The Union. The internal system that has lasted for hundreds of years may not be shaken so easily. If this civil strife is just a reshuffle of interests within the coalition, it is not worthy of our participation."
MPs who support cooperation naturally disagree with the Chairman of the National Defense Committee’s remarks. “It is true that the Chairman of the National Defense Committee is cautious, but if we don’t try anything, peace may be far away from us. In the end, we may We will have to pay a greater price in exchange for our missed opportunities for peace."
"If you rashly intervene in the alliance's civil strife, you may miss peace!"
"Then can peace be ushered in by wantonly expanding the war?"
The council fell into a stalemate again, and everyone unanimously turned their attention to Speaker Durandal who was sitting on the speaker's seat.
As a centrist who emerged after the war, the speaker was extremely good at mediating the conflicts between the two factions. He used clever techniques to gain support from both factions and was extremely popular among both factions.
Facing the gazes of the members of the Council, Speaker Fox, who had been closing his eyes just now, stood up and slowly said: "I know everyone's opinions."
"I think the military's concerns are indeed valid, but if we miss the opportunity for peace, I'm afraid we will be cast aside by future generations."
This was a somewhat tacky speech, but no one would think that the Speaker, who rose at the speed of light after the war, only had this level of ability. Everyone was quietly waiting for the Speaker's decision.
"Everyone, please don't forget that the Law Society has committed an unforgivable crime for us regulators. The action of attacking the Law Society. If we just watch quietly from the side, how will the people view us?"
"So, I think we should not allow Colonel Li Boyong's crusade fleet to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, but we should also actively offer to participate in the crusade mission."
"this……"
MPs were in an uproar.
Does the Speaker mean to have substantial military cooperation with the united conservatives?
United and ZAFT?
This is too bold...
Even the congressmen who support cooperation are afraid that the speaker will make too bold a move and trigger a strong backlash from the military.
"Everyone, be quiet." The Speaker knocked on the table and continued to control the rhythm of the parliament. "Only by actively attacking the Legislative Council can we have an explanation to the people and an explanation to the compatriots who sacrificed their lives in the wave of persecution by the adjusters."
"This is not a matter of whim, but an obligation that we, PLANT, as a country established by adjusters, should fulfill."
"At the same time, we should let the members of the Law Council accept the trial of our adjusters!"
Having said that, the military has something on its mind!
If it is really possible to put the Judgment Council to trial after taking over Paradise Island by force, it would be an extremely beneficial thing for ZAFT and PLANT.
After seeing myself setting a tone and taking control of the situation.
Speaker Fox smiled, "Of course, everything cannot be conditioned on unilaterally sacrificing our interests..."
The next step to discuss is, of course, specific issues of interest.
First, the ZAFT Army can allow Li Boyong's combined fleet to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, and the ZAFT Army will also dispatch a fleet headed by the Minerva to attack the Paradise Island base together.
Secondly, the arrested members of the Legal Council must be tried by PLANT, or at least jointly tried by PLANT and the United Nations.
There is also the recognition of the consolidation of some established occupied areas by ZAFT forces in this war. Those countries and regions that are willing to leave the Eurasian Union and form an alliance with PLANT shall not intervene with force.
As for the final peace negotiations, we have to wait until Paradise Island is actually captured.
After all, PLANT also knows very well that if they cannot truly understand the law, they will die, and there will be no way to negotiate peace.
It can be said that this plan took into account both the face and dignity of PLANT, allowing the Speaker to once again successfully reconcile the two different factions.
Soon, the plan was sent to the negotiating venue at the Gibraltar base and passed back to the heads of the United Conservatives through the negotiating delegation.
