Zeon's New MS!
Chapter 1909 Zeon's New MS!
Formerly the residence of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Zeon, now the residence of the Regent of the Republic of Zeon.
After handing the completed documents to Harmon, Artesia stood up, looked around, and gave instructions to her secretariat.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work these past few days! My willfulness has caused you all trouble!"
"No! Lady Artesia, please don't say that! You acted all for Zeon. If you hadn't personally gone to the Earth Federation and witnessed the disaster from another dimension, we probably wouldn't have known about all the changes that happened on Earth."
"As the chief secretary of the secretariat," Hamon said respectfully.
"Even so, this situation is a result of my own willfulness. Everyone, I will be staying in Muzo for the next period of time to handle matters here, so please continue to assist me as always!"
"Yes, Lady Artesia!!"
“ZICK ZION!!”
At the urging of the secretariat, Artesia and Hamon walked out of the governor's residence together and boarded a car heading to the weapons testing ground.
As she watched the streetlights rushing past and the passersby who, noticing the convoy's arrival, bowed to it, Artesia's gaze deepened slightly.
"Hamon. Has the industry-wide review report from Harmon Zeon been released yet?"
"Yes! The general data has been compiled. Only the light industry category remains to be investigated."
Harmon understood Artesia's thoughts and knew how important this report was to Zeon and to the future.
"Yes, that's fine. We can complement the lack of light industry with the Earth Federation. What we need to do now is to rebuild a space fleet with autonomous defense capabilities as soon as possible."
Artesia's words made Hamon frown slightly.
Although this is already an internal consensus within the Zeon ruling team led by Artesia, will the Earth Federation really just stand by and watch Zeon regain its own fleet?
"There's no need to worry. The Earth Federation is not concerned about whether Zeon has its own fleet or whether Zeon will start another war."
Artesia sighed inwardly.
Although this was already a tacit understanding and consensus reached between Artesia and high-ranking Earth Federation military officials such as Reibill and Gop, from the outside perspective, Zeon regaining its own fleet was still a very sensitive matter.
"I trust Miss Artesia's judgment."
Although Hamon had her reservations, she still trusted Artesia's judgment.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of Artesia's efforts in leaving Zeon and heading to Earth as soon as she regained power in Zeon.
"Yes, thank you! How's Uncle Ramba doing lately?"
Artesia nodded and then asked about Ramba Lal's recent situation.
When Aldesia regained control of Muzo and Zeon, she seized several GOOZAKUs developed and manufactured by the Titans for Zeon. She also had Ramba Ral attempt to use the GOOZAKU as a model to gather the original Zeonic engineers who had been scattered around the world after the war to redevelop Zeon's mobile suits and battleships.
However, after the war and the subsequent division and absorption by various forces, not many of the original Zeonnik technicians were able to be found by Ramba Lal; most of them were peripheral technicians.
Fortunately, upon learning that Zeon, led by Artesia, needed to develop its own mobile suits and warships, Anaheim generously released a group of core technical personnel from the former Zeonic Corporation and even slightly tilted some of the psychoframe products towards Artesia's side. "Ramba? He recently said that his current life feels as fulfilling as when he was developing the Zaku."
Hamon smiled, his eyes gleaming with pride.
Her husband had fallen into despair several times and been repeatedly defeated by reality, but now he was still able to command MS with great vigor and speed through the universe.
"Really? Then I guess I've assigned the right task."
As the two were talking, the Zeon governor's convoy entered the underground gate leading to the weapons testing ground.
Meanwhile, on Muzo's side, in a closed, controlled space.
Ramba Ral was piloting the new mobile suit named Daiku through this space with a serious expression.
"where is it?"
The new MS he piloted, a one-eyed machine with a body outline similar to the High Zaku but with more ferocious spikes on its shoulders and knees, was named by combining one word from each of the names Deiken and Zaku.
There is no other reason.
When the original Zeonic technicians, who had been summoned back by Ramba Ral, learned that this was an order personally given by Artesia, the son of Deiken, everyone named this new MS, which had not even seen the design blueprints yet, Deiken Zaku without hesitation.
If Ramba Ral hadn't later found the names these guys had chosen too flashy, the name Deiken Zaku would probably have remained in use until the moment this new MS rolled off the production line.
Now, having undergone ground tests, space flight tests, and other related tests, Daigu, having finally reached the stage of actual space combat testing, will face a personal assessment from the ace pilot, Amuro Ray, who is known for his strict discipline.
Upon hearing this news, He Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Regardless of how he influenced the course of history and kept Lamba Ral away from his final rival during the One Year War, the life-or-death duel seemed to be reenacted in another form a few years later.
However, compared to the life-or-death battle in the original timeline, this current practical test is more like a contest of mutual probing.
"El, who do you think will win?"
Huso, who was sitting on a chair not far away with popcorn in his arms, nudged Ernesti next to him with his right elbow.
"Hmm, it's hard to say. I haven't had any contact with the Daigo. However, Captain Amuro's Zeta Gundam recently underwent modifications by me, adding four funnels and numerous components that can increase the firing power of the beam rifle when the psychoframe is activated."
Ernesti frowned, rubbed his chin, and pondered the literal meaning of the two figures.
"Based on the literal data, it seems that Captain Amuro's ZETA Gundam is superior."
“The Daigu piloted by Ramba Ral also has a psychoframe! I just don’t know if Captain Ramba Ral can activate it successfully.”
Hearing the two little ones' discussion, He Ming joined in.
"Daigu also has a psychoframe?"
Ernesti's eyes widened immediately, his gaze quickly sweeping across the screen, but he didn't see any Newtype-related weaponry on Daigu's body.
