Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 820 Lux and the congressmen!
The congressmen gathered around the round table, looking at each other in silence, but more of them were looking at the man sitting near the door - Yuri Amalfi.

After they were kidnapped and imprisoned in the underground research institute, Yuri Amalfi, one of the twelve senators, gradually became the backbone of these senators.

This has nothing to do with the ideals they uphold or the actions they carry out; it simply has to do with their lives.

After witnessing the kidnappers killing their companions without hesitation and performing relevant gene collection operations in front of them, everyone knew that they were just gene providers, just like livestock, waiting for the day of slaughter.

Fortunately, they were saved.

He was also able to leave the underground research institute.

However, they did not return to PLANT. Instead, they followed the rescue team, left PLANT, and arrived at the Pillar of Heaven. During that time, they witnessed the attack suffered by the Solar Energy Construction Alliance and the successful completion of the feat of linking heaven and earth.

"Senator Amalfi. We can only be enemies with PLANT?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the third seat to the right of Yuri Amalfi asked in a deep voice.

This is Congressman Mueller, who had been praised by Siegel Klein before. However, this Congressman Mueller did not choose to become a member of Siegel Klein's faction. Instead, he chose to be a neutral person between the Klein faction and the Sara faction.

Also because of Siegel's praise, Mueller, who was an outstanding worker, quickly stood out among the neutral faction and showed signs of becoming a leader of the neutral faction.

However, he was also kidnapped to that underground research institute.

Yuri Amalfi nodded slowly.

"Yes. But I must clarify one thing. We are not enemies of PLANT, nor do we necessarily have to be against ZAFT! Our enemy has been very clear from the beginning to the end."

Yuri Amalfi pointed at himself and then pointed around.

"You, Senator Mueller, he, Senator Schmidt, he, Senator Jones, and he, she, he, he... and so on. We have all had the same experience, that is, we were kidnapped by an armed group of unknown origin and were once reduced to being kept in captivity. We are gene providers who can be killed at any time, gene providers like livestock."

"And now, we are saved. And we have also received a promise from East Asia, from the Solar Energy Construction Alliance. As long as we are willing to assist them in dealing with the armed forces who once kidnapped us and caused us to become gene providers like livestock, then we will get a force that is enough for us to return to PLANT."

After Yuri Amalfi finished speaking, he slowly stated a fact.

"Perhaps everyone has guessed it! After we were kidnapped, we never received any news that the outside world was searching for us..."

"That group of militants used the cell samples collected from us every day as the raw materials for cloning embryos. In just one day, they grew the embryos from their original form to ones that could replace us and attend the Supreme Council. They used their previous work and life rhythms to impersonate us, deceiving the eyes of the world. It was so terrifying."

"Everyone, if we don't unite at this time and follow the advice of East Asia, I'm afraid that even after this victory, we may find it difficult to continue to gain a foothold in PLANT."

Yuri Amalfi straightened up slightly.

“Think about it! When we are trapped in that underground laboratory, what will the cloned “us” do?
Yuri Amafi's words caused the surrounding parliamentarians to fall silent.

This is a reality that they cannot escape or ignore.

There is a great possibility that their positions in PLANT and in the Supreme Council will be replaced by those clones. This is extremely bad news.

But they had no way to stop it! Moreover, what exactly did those clones do when they replaced them, and what plans did they make that were unfavorable to the PLANT?

Once they thought of this, some congressmen suddenly got goose bumps and felt particularly cold.

If, under such unclear circumstances, he returned to April City to confront those clones, or even shot them to death, what would be waiting for the congressmen would probably not be flowers and congratulations, but deadly "blades" and murderous looks.

There may even be a situation where all the sins committed by the clones are blamed on these victims.

"Then, what should we do? Is it really true that we have no choice but to cooperate with East Asia?"

The congressman named Schmidt pursed his lips and asked unwillingly.

Although the East Asian Republic is a member of the Earth Union, it has not been influenced by the Atlantic Union and the Eurasian Union to a certain extent. It has not treated the Adjusters harshly, but has returned the prisoners after the Battle of Nova.

But this does not mean that Congressman Schmidt and other congressmen gathered around him will willingly choose to cooperate with the East Asian Republic.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Congressman Jones looked at Congressman Schmidt seriously and spoke word by word.

"From the moment we were kidnapped, we were already dead in a sense in PLANT. Dead people cannot pose any threat to PLANT today. Because our names, our identities, and our appearances are still alive and well in PLANT, in the Supreme Council, and even in ZAFT."

“But…but…”

Congressman Schmidt opened his mouth, which eventually turned into an unwilling sigh.

indeed.

Apart from choosing to cooperate with the East Asian Republic, these "dead guys" have no other options and power to change anything.

"Everyone! Leave the matter to me!"

When all the congressmen were in a dilemma, the door was suddenly opened.

A beautiful and determined figure stood at the door, looked around, and finally exchanged glances with Yuri Amalfi before speaking again.

"Members of the Congress! You are all heroes who liberated the citizens of PLANT from endless oppression! At the same time, you are also comrades-in-arms of my father, Siegel Klein! Your existence is indispensable to PLANT, and it cannot be desecrated."

"Therefore, let me make this difficult decision!"

With a serious expression and a firm tone, Lacus Klein told her comrades who had fought together with her father Siegel Klein to liberate PLANT the decision she had made long ago.

"Today, I, Lacus Cline, as the successor of Cline, have reached an agreement with the East Asian Republic and requested the East Asian Republic to send a fleet to assist us in taking back our PLANT from the hands of the conspirators! To this end, I, Lacus Cline, will do whatever it takes and will not be afraid of any slander until my goal is achieved!"
