Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 615 Golden Will

Eurofatu, the residence of Prime Minister Orb, Cagalli had just finished signing an agreement. An extremely young-looking assistant officer beside her handed over another document. Just as Cagalli was about to sign it out of habit. When she made her name, the huge 'grant application' on the cover made her feel a chill running straight from her tailbone to her forehead.

"Toya, are you trying to get away with it?"

"Ahem. It's nothing. It's just that on behalf of Ashar, would you like to take a look at the applicant's name?"

"What are you looking at? There is only one person who can make you look like this. If you don't sign, you have no money!"

"On behalf of my lord, she said it was to prepare the funds for your husband's body. Or else"

"Ask Hilde how much I'm worth. Why don't you sell me? Let me check the amount first. 12345"

It's okay not to look at it. When she looked over, Cagalli's eyes were stung by the string of 0's after the number. The Orb representative wanted to throw it away, but Toya's words of "This is a machine prepared for your husband" forced her away. She was brought back to reality.

With the end of the large-scale war, HCL and Shuguang Society also ended their honeymoon period of making huge war profits. Although Orb and the People's Revolutionary League both carried the banner of anti-war, military industrial companies essentially relied on war to make money. A monster that makes huge profits. This corporate attribute will not change based on the country's position, let alone being noble or despicable.

It’s just that although they are both making war profits, the bottom line of Shuguang Club and HCL is still much higher than that of LOGOS. At least these two plus Russ’s small treasury WWK will not deliberately go to the world just because of the decline in profits. Create armed conflicts everywhere.

Especially as a rising star, HCL basically had an attitude of waiting to die after completing its historical mission.

Since Hilde gave up, the company has basically cut off the design department, and transferred most of the technical talents to Shuguang Society, leaving only the most basic administrative department and financial department to deal with some historical legacy. Regarding the settlement issue, Mina believes that this leather bag company will be completely closed down in about a year.

These companies refuse to become the next LOGOS, not just because the people in power are not interested in money. In fact, even Hilde, who is not a big boss, knows the importance of money, because her ability is completely based on abundant financial support. It can only be established if Cagalli doesn't give money, even if she explodes SEED, it will be useless.

The biggest reason why Dawn Society and WWK are willing to give up the profits brought by the war is that the major shareholders behind them, that is, Scandinavia and Orb, coincidentally regard the solar orbital elevator and GN particles as the next era. Profit growth.

As the largest core of the "Earth Sphere Energy Restoration Plan", in the construction of solar orbital elevators, East Asia, Austria, and Scandinavia are the three largest shareholders, and these investments are divided into state investment and private investment. , no one has promised that the orbital elevator is free, and every penny paid today will be returned hundreds or even a thousand times in the future.

The profitability of GN particles cannot be underestimated. The technology of artificial transformants has been developed to the end. Hilder's current assessment of this technology is that as long as there are enough particles, the cost can definitely beat genetic modification. '

Of course, it remains to be seen whether the artificial transformer or the adjuster is stronger or weaker, but at the very least, countless families like Mia who cannot afford the full cost of adjustment will turn their attention to the artificial transformer, and eventually this technology will also It will greatly reduce the proportion of natural people in the entire human population, thereby diluting the irreconcilable racial conflicts in the CE world by muddying the waters.

It's just that whether it's orbital elevators or transformative technologies, it takes time to realize them. Now, due to the decline in profits of its pillar companies, Aub's financial situation is actually not very ideal.

And as the People's Revolutionary Federation and PLANT have reached an armistice agreement, neither Cagalli nor Mina can use war to intimidate the people to cut back on food and clothing. The few funds left have to be tilted towards the field of people's livelihood. This is not only for Austria. The problem of cloth is also the same for the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

As for Scandinavia, thanks to the wealth accumulated by the Nordic royal family over the generations, Rath's economic situation is slightly better than Cagalli's, but only slightly better.

Due to geographical reasons, Scandinavia has undertaken most of the European relief tasks, and the GN Particle Research Institute was also funded by Lars, so the little rich queen is somewhat strapped for money now.

However, in line with the principle that no matter how poor she is, her husband cannot be poor, Cajiali still signed the application form with her heart closed and her eyes closed. She could already predict what kind of scene would greet her tomorrow, and at the same time, she also thought about it. If it doesn't work, just lower your head and ask Lars for help. Anyway, her husband is not hers alone. Lars can't escape this expense.

"By the way, why is it so expensive? You can build two Orb Lions at this price, right?"

As a representative of a country who started from the army, Cagalli also has a certain understanding of the cost of various military industries. It is obvious that this string of 0 has completely exceeded the development cost of ordinary MS. Even Bai Xueji did not spend so much money back then. , so out of duty, she must ask where the money was used.

"You didn't read the content at all."

Toya Mashima's smile was a little forced. His immediate boss was good at everything, but sometimes his carelessness would turn into a temporary test of the assistant officer's memory. After quickly recalling the contents of the application, Toya Or he said: "Your sister, she tore down Dawn." "Oh, I thought so. What? Dawn!"

"Yes, it was dismantled a month ago. It is estimated that the new frame is almost ready. This fund is used to upgrade the materials of the Yata Mirror. It is too late for you to go there now."

"That's dawn! Dawn! That's it!"

After hearing that Hilde was targeting Dawn, Cagalli threw away the documents and ran out. This mobile suit was not only an important legacy left to her by Uzumi, but also a symbol of Orb's will. After the restoration, Mingxiao once carried the expectations of the People's Revolutionary Army.

"Hilde! What did you change the dawn to?"

"You came just in time. I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect you to be delivered to your door."

"Hey you."

He rushed to the Dawn Club in a hurry, but before Cagalli could finish her words, Hilde directly pushed her onto the elevator, and then she was raised to the chest of a golden mobile suit.

"Go in and turn on the Changemaker."

"No. I said dawn"

"Hurry up, isn't this gold still there?"

Without enough time to look up, Cagalli was pushed directly into the cockpit. In a hurry, she could only vaguely see the head of the new dawn. The design was different from all current MSs and did not have a human face at all. 'Characteristics.

"Change quickly, why are you standing there in a daze?"

"Change, change, I'll change, that's it!"

Following Cagalli's angry answer, aperture eyes also appeared in her pupils, but Hilde clicked on the instrument twice and then looked at Cagalli with a look of disgust. the taste of.

"Connect with your husband."

"elder sister!"

"Hurry up, it's time to test."

"Continue! I can even do it!"

With a bit of shyness, Cagalli rarely took the initiative to connect with Siegfried. After learning that the other party was on his way to South America, Cagalli realized that her husband was not in a suitable mood to chat and voluntarily exited the state of the changer.

"So, what are you testing?"

"The mental skeleton is unresponsive, and the NTD mode shows no sign of being turned on. Sure enough, only Siegfried can resonate with this thing."
