Chapter 254 Wang Liumei's Victory
"Wow... so amazing..." Aslan was almost stunned sitting on the side.
Aslan was just listening in now, and he was very nervous waiting to be called to speak.
Wang Liumei looked even smaller than him because of her petite body, but she was able to remain calm and composed in such an occasion, and her counterattack left the top members of PLANT speechless.
"Wang Liumei, the only daughter of the Wang family, a famous diplomat in Orb, is rumored to be an extraordinary genius. I saw her today and she is indeed extraordinary." Cruze whispered to Aslan.
"Well, I knew her when I was a child, but I didn't expect her to have such a side."
"Really? That's really interesting."
Cruze was not worried at all about the disadvantages of the PLANT members, but found it very interesting, and kept an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone remained silent at the hearing committee, and it was Patrick Sara who finally stood up and talked to Wang Liumei: "So, what compensation does Orb want?"
Others might find it difficult to face the accusations raised by Wang Liumei and the protests from Orb, but Patrick Sara and Siegel Klein, who had dealt with Orb, no, it should be said that they had dealt with Yang Hui a lot, knew that the ultimate request was compensation, and the nominal explanation and apology statement were all excuses.
"What Orb wants is nothing more than what you lose, you get, so..."
"Impossible, PLANT can't cede territory, not now, and even less in the future!"
"I think you misunderstood, Chairman Sara, what Orb wants is just to rebuild [Heliopolis], but PLANT will bear all the manpower, material resources and financial resources. Orb has never thought of asking PLANT to cede a colony satellite to Orb." Wang Liumei replied calmly.
"It's impossible! Building a colony satellite requires huge manpower, material resources and financial resources, and PLANT cannot accept it..." It was Isalia Juer who raised the objection.
Now the battle between ZAFT and the Earth Army is becoming increasingly fierce. Now the Earth Army has even created its own MS. Since it has been successful, it is not far from mass production. At that time, the pressure on the ZAFT Army will be even greater. It is impossible to pay huge manpower, material and financial resources to compensate for the losses of Orb at this time.
"Then may I ask... what compensation can PLANT propose? Is the value equal to [Heliopolis]?" Wang Liumei asked Isalia Juer.
"This..."
Isalia Juer could not answer, and it was impossible to answer.
If Wang Liumei was unreasonable and asked for an exorbitant price, they could naturally refute Wang Liumei, but the compensation request proposed by Wang Liumei was reasonable, and he did not even ask for more because of this matter. He only asked for the same compensation as the collapsed [Heliopolis]. This was already a concession.
"...Okay." Patrick Sara agreed, but added a condition, "...but not now."
"Please give a clear time, Chairman Patrick."
"One year later."
"No problem, but please make a formal apology and compensation clause after the meeting, and compensate Orb for rare resources. Here is the list."
Wang Liumei certainly knew that this was a tense period for the PLANT and ZAFT armies, and they simply could not come up with enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources to rebuild [Heliopolis] for Orb.
And now the two sides are fighting in full swing. Even if the PLANT agrees, will the Earth Army watch them rebuild without making trouble?
Even if it is built, in the war years, [Heliopolis] outside the existing system of Orb is just a burden. So one year later, according to the current development trend of the war, even if the war cannot be stopped after one year, the war will enter a state of easing. This is the best time for Orb to make rapid progress.
The participants at the meeting took the list of materials and nodded. They were all within a reasonable range. Although it was a bit painful, it was not unbearable.
"Okay, then it's decided. I will hold a press conference tomorrow to formally issue an apology statement and compensation terms." Siegel Klein agreed.
"In this case, I will wait for good news."
Standing up and bowing slightly to everyone, Wang Liumei left the venue. Her goal had been achieved. Siegel Klein did not announce the adjournment of the meeting, which meant that the other party's topic had not yet ended, so it was not convenient for her to be present to listen.
After Wang Liumei left, everyone's faces were quite ugly. This was a major failure in diplomacy, especially the recorded video, which undoubtedly slapped them hard.
The recorded video submitted by Cruze must have been processed, and a large amount of evidence of the ZAFT army was deleted in order to shirk responsibility.
Who would have thought that Wang Liumei could find a complete recorded video in the collapsed [Heliopolis] in such a short time, catching them off guard.
However, the matter has been settled, and no matter how upset it is, it will not help. The next topic is also very important.
"Well, let's move on to the next topic, Captain Cruze. Are these mobile suits of the Earth Army really worth the sacrifice?"
Patrick Sala had already received the data report of the X series, but he still brought it up on this occasion, in order to let the moderates know that the Earth Army also has amazing mobile suits, and they will face a more severe war environment.
"Regarding its amazing performance, there happens to be a pilot in my unit who has flown one of them and fought against the last one that failed to be captured. I would like this pilot, Aslan Sara, to report to you."
"Aslan Sara is allowed to report."
"Yes."
Aslan stepped forward and began his report.
"First, regarding the Holy Shield..."
...
Wang Liumei left the hearing committee and did not return to the residence arranged by PLANT for her, but waited in front of the fossil outside the meeting room.
This was also expected. Siegel Klein and Patrick Sara would definitely talk to her privately.
"Can you help me contact Miss Klein?" Wang Liumei asked the guards around her.
"Excuse me, do you have anything to do with Miss Klein?"
"Nothing, Miss Klein and I are friends. It's a rare opportunity for me to come to PLANT, so I want to meet Miss Klein."
"I'm very sorry, Miss Klein has already set off for the ruins of [Julius 7] to prepare for the [Bloody Valentine's Day] mourning ceremony, and is not in PLANT at the moment." The guard replied respectfully. As early as the beginning, Siegel Klein and Patrick Sara had already told them that as long as it did not involve military and political affairs and confidential matters, any needs could be met.
"That's really a pity, I miss her a lot."
Wang Liumei and Lacus are friends. It's not just talk. Yang Hui secretly went to PLANT before and brought Wang Liumei and Huang with him, or both of them, or one of them. After several contacts, they also became friends with Lacus. Maybe it's because Lacus's identity prevented her from making normal friends, so she quickly accepted the two of them, right?
By the way, I also know Aslan, but there is a difference between men and women. Both of them are engaged, so it's not suitable for too much contact.
About fifteen minutes later, the door of the conference room opened, and the congressmen who attended the meeting dispersed. Siegel Klein brought Aslan to Wang Liumei.
"It's been a few years, right? Miss Wang."
"Yes, it's been almost a year, and it's been a long time since Aslan."
"Yeah, it's been a long time." Aslan nodded and replied.
"I didn't expect you to become so great after not seeing you for a year. It makes me feel old, hahaha." Siegel Klein laughed.
"Chairman Klein and Chairman Sara are in their prime. I still have a lot to learn from you." Wang Liumei said modestly.
"I don't think so. You can already say something that none of us can refute in this occasion. You are already one of the most outstanding diplomats." At this time, Patrick Sara also came over, with a rare soft smile compared to the serious face at the meeting.
"You are too polite."
"Am I really too polite? Haha, your style is exactly the same as that boy."
"Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Although he is still a fiancée, he is destined to be my husband."
"Even if I can't have him alone?"
"Chairman Sara, please don't provoke the relationship between me and the royal sister."
"Haha, that stinky boy is really lucky, but... he deserves this blessing." Patrick Sara laughed.
"Your Orb's laws are really strange, and they actually allow polygamy." Siegel Klein joked.
"Only in this way can I and the royal sister be satisfied at the same time."
"Hahaha..."
Aslan, who was standing aside, felt that his three views were almost overturned. Siegel Klein was nothing. In his eyes, he was originally a very kind elder, but his father Patrick Sara was not like this. He usually liked to have a stern face and didn't smile too much at his biological son.
Now he smiled like a neighbor uncle, which scared him.
"By the way, Speaker Klein, Chairman Sara, you two left me here alone, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" The greetings were almost over, and it was time to get down to business. Wang Liumei didn't believe that she was left here just to reminisce about the past. If she wanted to reminisce about the past, she should have stayed at their home.
"Well, I guess Yang Hui got a lot of benefits from this deal with the Earth Army?"
"Not bad, you two should know that Yang Hui never loses out in the deals he makes."
"Well... it seems that Orb is very ambitious." Patrick Sara asked, his eyes regained their sharpness.
"It just wants to protect its homeland. Orb's neutral concept has never changed and will not change."
"That's why I say he is very ambitious. Aren't you afraid that your ambition will kill you?" As he spoke, Patrick Sara's smiling face suddenly disappeared, and a serious, earnest, sharp, iron-blooded and domineering sense of oppression came over him.
"Of course not." Facing Patrick Sara's momentum, Wang Liumei was as unmoved as Mount Tai, and answered without hesitation.
