Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 530 Dinner Party

"There are hungry and cold victims outside, but we are here attending a dinner party. Is this really appropriate?"

"Berlin has just been brought under the jurisdiction of the Federation of People's Revolutionaries, and the administrative officials here have not been replaced yet. These things are a kind of asking for direction. Only after we attend the banquet will this group of European bureaucrats feel at ease and fall to us. Otherwise, we will tear them apart in Berlin. If refugees are let in through a hole, the situation in Europe will immediately get out of control."

Luna, who was wearing an evening gown, tugged hard on the hem of her skirt. Although she was born in a ZAFT red dress, she had a smart mind, but she was still an elementary school student when it came to the intrigues between countries. In her opinion, if this overly luxurious dinner was replaced by a waiter, It is far more reasonable to use low-priced rations to relieve refugees than to hire two diplomatic missions now.

Lars asked the maid to adjust the angle of the crown again, and after confirming that it was perfect, she began to choose the jewelry for the dinner. While answering Luna's questions, she also selected the matching jewelry for the three female guests based on their appearance. .

"Don't they know that people are starving to death here every day?"

"They know, and even they know that we know, so they feel confident."

Since the end of the war, the People's Revolutionary League has directly cut its military expenditure by 45% in the third quarter. Now that the time has come to the fourth quarter, several large MAs have been completely sealed and awaiting dismantling, and the People's Revolutionary League has also stopped the follow-up of the aircraft after Jiegan. The research and development plan only maintains funding for a few test lines. Among all military projects, the only one that has not been affected by funding reduction is the GN Particle Research Institute.

The direct consequence of the reduction in military expenditures is the decline in profits of WWK and Shuguang Society. Shuguang Society still has a solar orbital elevator plan in progress, and it is unlikely that it will be stuck in funding. After all, no one within the Human Revolutionary Federation wants to touch the 'national treasure scientist' It's a bad thing, but as WWK is the largest manufacturer of Jiegan and Richelle, its profits have been cut in half compared to the wartime level.

In this way, Lars can no longer use his money bag to bribe European countries. At the same time, the huge number of refugees has caused the Revolutionary League to stop its expansion and instead focus on internal governance. This is exactly what these old European bureaucrats are targeting. Thus, the refugees are threatened with self-respect.

Unlike Northern Europe, which joined in advance, it has only been a month since cities in Western Europe announced their defections. The first batch of humanitarian aid supplies from the People's Revolutionary League has just arrived in Scandinavia and is now being escorted towards Berlin by the Guards led by Lena. Come, Vann Dyson took advantage of this window period to start to emerge.

"But there are still children out there, at least let them be."

He casually hung a ruby ​​necklace on Luna's chest. After looking at it and feeling very satisfied, Lars turned around and continued to rummage through his huge jewelry box. "This is also why I agreed to visit. Those bureaucrats need us to communicate with them." Van Dyson reached an agreement, and at least their property and personal safety must be guaranteed, so that they will agree to rescue the refugees, otherwise relying on blood transfusions from the Human Revolutionary League alone will not be a long-term solution."

"Let me go to the 1.5 Gundam."

Asuka, who was wearing a formal suit, walked in just in time to hear Russ's last words, and Stella, who was wearing a lady's skirt, also gave an expression of approval, which made Russ suddenly wonder whether two idiots would be happy together. Strong doubts.

"Then what? The funds of these thieves are hidden very secretly. Even a professional team may not be able to dig them out in a short time without the cooperation of the other party. You have to exchange currency for materials, and these people themselves He is the biggest material merchant. Being able to fight is a good thing, but many things cannot be solved by fighting. Do you think Siegfried asked you two to come here for tourism? He wants you to see and learn with your own eyes. , war cannot solve all problems once and for all.”

After putting earrings and a tiara on Luna, Lars rolled his eyes at Zhen again. In her opinion, the real bird now was completely like a smaller version of Siegfried. He was reckless and inexperienced when faced with problems. Young people who have passed through life and death are always so full of energy.

Looking at Lunamaria who complemented the ruby, Lars covered her mouth and chuckled, then pushed her between Zhen and Stella. As a result, Luna herself was fine, but Zhen blushed all of a sudden. His hands were raised in the air, and his whole body felt uneasy.     "How about this outfit? Isn't it strange?"

"Ah, it's not surprising. I mean, it suits you very well."

Muttering 'Triangle is the most stable shape', Lars then turned his attention to Hilde who was nestled in the corner. The white-haired girl was wearing a black dress, which added to her already cold face. The indifference that would make people thousands of miles away, but combined with that exquisite face, the two of them together unexpectedly formed a strong contrast and cuteness.

"Sister, come here and try on this necklace~"

The huge crystal lantern on the dome exuded bright light. In the banquet hall, all members of Van Dyson's party were already in place. As the hour hand reached 7 precisely, the door of the banquet hall was opened, and the Queen of Scandinavia Lars Winslet came in dragging a several-meter-long skirt, followed closely by three girls: Luna, Hilde and Stella. The remaining one was carrying a silly bird. He quickly followed up with the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

“What a beautiful landscape.”

As the representative of Vann Dyson, Orphea Ram Theo took the lead to step forward and bow to Lars. Lars, who was wearing a crown, nodded slightly in return and had no intention of handing over to Orphee. . Orphee was not angry when he found out that he had been ignored. He just stepped aside politely and gave the center of the venue to Lars.

Because the queen of Van Dyson, Ola Maha Haval, looks too young, this weakness in appearance cannot be compensated for no matter how she dresses, so the "Scandinavian girl group" immediately appeared in terms of momentum. Stealing everyone's attention, the noble Lars, the cold Hilde, the gorgeous Luna, and even Stella, who had a solemn expression on her face, looked a little petite and cute.

After the mayor of Berlin gave a toast, the banquet spread out like water in a hypocritical hustle and bustle. Many old European families continued to communicate with Lars and Orfei, and the two groups Zhen and Griffin were left. Due to the conflict in the morning, two distinct camps naturally formed.

Just when Zhen Zhen couldn't adapt to this kind of atmosphere and felt a little depressed, Orfei pushed aside a group of old men around him, and walked to Hilde who was looking at nothing at all, and then He extended his right hand with a white glove.

"I wonder if I could have the honor of dancing with Miss Hilde?"

"it is good."

　It’s not like I had to wait for the theatrical version. I was sitting in rows at home with people suffering from influenza A, and then I had a rash on my body and had to go to work. There were all kinds of year-end summaries coming up, and there was also an annual party and I had to do a talent show. I really fainted.
