Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Brian, my old friend, it takes two to tango to get to the Taliban. In the end, it's your Union's behavior that's so disgusting."

"Your Union always prides yourselves on being the founders of a new era of civilization, but why are your methods so crude?"

"You completely lack understanding of our advanced civilization's methods. If you had learned from us properly, you wouldn't have suffered such a huge setback in Taliban."

Immediately after the end of the Taliban campaign, the AEU and the United People's Revolutionary Party issued statements expressing serious concern within the region.

Of course, these two countries stepped forward one after the other, fulfilling their responsibilities as major powers to mediate the conflict and provide an opportunity for peace to return to the gravitational sphere.

Furthermore, the official statement has just been released.

The AEU councilor, feeling quite pleased with himself, kept pulling the leaders of the People's Revolutionary Union to the Union president's side to sing his praises with schadenfreude.

However, the AEU council chairman may have been used to feeling aggrieved, after all, Union was once just a junior member of the AEU.

Once they turned the tables, they rode on the backs of the AEU member states, calling themselves the big brother. This kind of serf-turned-hero drama is something that none of the AEU member states are truly happy to see.

This is utterly contrary to the principles of Heaven and Earth, and cannot be tolerated by Heaven!

So, after all the hard work, we get to see Union make a fool of themselves, and then Union has to publicly back down and be manipulated and blackmailed by us.

How could the AEU council chairman not feel triumphant?

I must satisfy my craving for words, and I must also reap the benefits.

"you!"

However, the Union president was no pushover either; he had fought his way through countless challenges within the country to reach this position.

They could see right through the smug AEU councilor's scheme at a glance.

Although Union suffered a defeat in Taliban, that doesn't give you, a fallen nobleman, the right to act like a big shot in front of me.

Based on this reasoning, the Union president, not one to mince words, was preparing to retaliate.

"Brian."

When it comes to shrewdness, if the leader of the People's Revolutionary Alliance is second to none, then no one can claim to be first.

The moment the Union president opened his mouth, the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union immediately interrupted his spellcasting.

"you!"

He was interrupted just as he was about to speak. The Union president's face turned bright red, and the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union was no good either.

President Union knew without listening to what the other party was saying that they had nothing good to say.

"Exchanges between countries should be developed based on mutual trust and common prosperity, and everyone should work together to promote progress on an equal footing."

"The Union did make a mistake in the Taliban affair. How can they act with the mindset of harming others for their own benefit?"

"This time, you should learn a lesson, abandon the Union's unwarranted arrogance, and learn to humble yourselves and listen to and feel the voices of the people at the bottom."

Upon hearing this, the Union president blushed and looked at the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union, who seemed like a teacher instructing a student. The Union president felt that the other party should be glad that he was not in front of him.

Otherwise, the Union president felt he also knew a little bit about martial arts!

"Of course, AEU Chairman, don't bring up your old almanacs anymore. If you really did it that perfectly back then..."

"Why would they face opposition from all those within the gravity circle who yearn for freedom, and then retreat back to continental Europe?"

What made the Union president feel a little better was that after the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union finished reprimanding him, he changed the subject and lectured the AEU councilor.

Immediately, the Union President gave the AEU Council Chairman a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

You think the People's Revolutionary Alliance is a good person? You think you can pull off a big move?

As it turns out, the allies you brought in don't take you seriously at all. You'll still have to call me "daddy" in the end!

"Head of the People's Revolutionary Alliance"

Having received the meaning in the Union President's eyes, the previously cheerful AEU Council Chairman's face darkened, and during the three-way video call, he glared at the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union, who was even more high-sounding than himself.

I took a few deep breaths and silently reminded myself how wonderful the world is and that I shouldn't be so agitated.

The AEU council chairman ultimately suppressed his resentment towards the leader of the People's Revolutionary Union and chose to target the Union president once again.

"In short, I have discussed it with the leaders of the United People's Revolutionary Union, and the situation in Taliban is no longer just a matter for your Union."

"For the sake of peace throughout the entire gravitational field, the leaders of the People's Revolutionary Alliance and I believe that you should give Taliban the opportunity to make its own choices."

"Remember, this is neither a suggestion nor a discussion. Don't forget about the Celestial Being organization that clamors for the eradication of war."

"In this battle in Taliban, they have initially demonstrated their ability to intervene in the chessboard of the three major powers."

"This gravity circle is both big and small. Three players are enough. There's no need for a fourth player to sit at the table."

After saying that, the AEU councilor thought of how the People's Revolutionary Alliance had secretly tricked them during this battle.

Didn't we agree at the beginning that we would turn Taliban into a quagmire and slowly bleed the Union dry? Who knew that the guys you sent out would directly win Taliban a chance for freedom!

Could it be that this blood was actually meant for me?

Or should I release you?

Or are you saying that the People's Revolutionary Alliance is planning to take all the benefits of Taliban by itself?

"I agree in principle with the AEU Chairman's judgment. For a better future for humanity, wouldn't it be better to let go and focus on honing one's own skills? It would open up a whole new world for us!"

"The Union should shoulder the responsibilities of a responsible major power."

Meeting the strange look in the eyes of the AEU council chairman, the leader of the People's Revolutionary Alliance calmly added.

"Enough with the pleasantries, you just want to get your hands on me!"

President Union, having reached his limit, angrily rebuked them. After all, this was a private meeting between the three of them, and even if outsiders overheard it, they would only be close confidants and high-ranking members of the three factions.

If that's the case, why bother talking about face or the magnanimity of a great nation?

"I disagree!"

President Union flatly rejected the suggestions of the two scoundrels, stating that if his country could organize one fleet, it could organize two or even three.

In short, if you want to start construction in Union's backyard, there isn't even a door or a window!

Are you sure?

This time, it wasn't the AEU council chairman who spoke first. The leader of the People's Revolutionary Union stared intently at the emotionally charged Union president and spoke again.

"I put forward a proposal that is definite and feasible only after careful consideration based on the actual strength of each country."

"So, what were your considerations in rejecting the well-intentioned suggestions from me and the AEU chairperson?"

"I!"

The Union president felt a lump in his throat and wanted to retort, "Since you want to fight, then let's have a big fight and wage a world war!"

But his face had turned a deep purplish-red, and President Union stared at the two villains in front of him, ultimately refraining from uttering those words.

The consequences of the defeat in the Taliban campaign were too severe. If he were to face the People's Revolutionary Alliance and the AEU, he would not be able to bear the chain reaction of collapse!

There are still countless people protesting outside his official residence; a bunch of brainless idiots who completely fail to grasp the true reality.

If it weren't for the Union's massive army relentlessly reaping benefits from their own territory, those fools would never have a good life!

If something really goes wrong, these idiots will only hold us back...

Let's talk.

The deflated Union president gave up, staring at the two smiling leaders of the two major powers, his eyes narrowed, as he had his own plans.

Sooner or later, Taliban will become a quagmire that drains your blood!
