Not Super Robot Wars at All

Chapter 8: Dr. Lingoes scolds shareholders

The meeting has already begun. Prince Roland, who is sitting on the main seat, is reading last year's annual summary report. Ed is still thinking about what happened just now, a little absent-minded. Eddy agreed to Klein's invitation without much thought, and Roland arrived just as he was about to inquire about the details. The two did not have time to talk. Although he has a certain reputation, as C.C. said, he is just an "ordinary genius scientist". As the leader of a country, what is the point of bypassing Roland to find himself alone? Is there a problem with the anti-neutron jammer deal?

"—To sum up, last year’s Anaheim handed over a satisfactory answer to all shareholders. Then let’s start discussing this year’s issues." Your Excellency Roland is starting to talk about business, so I don’t want to think about it. "As usual , First elect the shareholder representatives on the board of directors. I nominate myself. Does anyone have a different opinion?"

Roland glanced over Ed, Klein, and everyone in the video call in the conference room, with a shy smile on his face. But no one here will forget that this man had a record of destroying the nuclear fleet alone in the Earth-Moon War. As far as the lives on hand are concerned, I am afraid that no one in the solar system can compare with him.

The experience of Roland and Diana is quite legendary, and there are many unsolved mysteries on them, but the most curious thing about Ed is the age of the two. Logically speaking, Roland is at least a person of the same generation as Klein and Zabi, but looking at the young people in the conference room who seemed to be no more than a few years older than himself, Eddy couldn’t compare this person with those in his 40s and 50s. Middle-aged men linked together.

There are various speculations about this issue. Some say that the queen and his wife usually stay in the freezer and come out only when they have activities. According to Ed's observation, although Queen Diana rarely shows up, Roland appears on the moon. It has to be fairly frequent, and freezing is not very tenable. It is also said that the two have found the technology to delay aging in the black technology. Although this statement cannot be confirmed, there are certain fans. But if such a technology is monopolized by the two, the leadership of the moon will not be possible. It has been so ironclad for so many years. Ed once asked C.C. about this question, and the response was "Maybe there is something similar to Code on the moon?".

"Since there is no objection, let's move on to the next topic." Of course, everyone in the conference room did not disagree. Sitting on an absolute controlling interest of 51%, the general meeting of shareholders is basically Roland's speech. All everyone can do is to make suggestions. "Do you have any comments or suggestions on the focus of next year's work?"

"With the gradual recovery of the post-war economy, the purchasing power of ordinary people is now becoming stronger and stronger." The man who was speaking was a shady-looking man who seemed to be in his fifties. "Assuming that there will be no war in the near future. Under the circumstances, I personally think whether the development focus can be shifted from the military industry to the entertainment department. Last year, our company did not make much progress in the field of smartphones and game consoles."

Ed remembered, this is Cardias Bist, the chief treasurer of the Bist consortium, and one of the earliest investors in Anaheim. What did he mean to cut his own funds? But Ed, of course, will not speak up immediately. He is now a shareholder, not the director of the MS Research Institute. He has to stand in the overall interests of the company. Naturally, there are representatives of the military's interests sitting there, and he is waiting for someone to jump out and block the gun.

"Although this is a bit inappropriate for me to say," the person who jumped out was an old man-among the shareholders whose average age was 40 years old, his and Roland's style of painting was obviously different from everyone's. "But the Federation's demand for arms, especially MS, is still very large."

"Brigadier General Hyman, are you speaking as a general of the Union Army or as a shareholder?" If Ed had just jumped out, he would have been stunned by Bist.

"Of course, the interests of the company are the priority. Are you suspicious of my character, President Bisite?" In the Stardust Incident, the remnants of the party made a fuss and quelled the incident decisively. After that, he moved to the political arena and quickly climbed to the position of Federal Minister of Finance by relying on superb political skills and solid military connections, and became the spokesperson of the military’s interests in the Federation. But it is uncertain whose interests he represents in Anaheim. There are rumors that this person is engaged in an elite group in the army, and the members are highly overlapped with Blue Cosmos, and he is a hidden activist. "Although the federal government's budget white paper for this year has not been released yet, I just made a reasonable judgment as a shareholder without violating the principles."

"Since the budget has not been announced, the rationality of your judgment may still be questionable." Bisite was a little reluctant. Ed suddenly remembered a piece of news he saw last month, saying that the Bist Consortium may increase its investment in military industry. Is it possible that he does not want Anaheim to grab business with his family?

"As a ethical government official, I will not divulge the federal fiscal plan." This Ed also knows, called Alejandro Kona, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Earth Federation, has visited the moon many times, and seems to be self-conscious Cheng Yi faction, "But as an individual, I support Minister Hyman's views. Rather, if we continue to increase investment in MS, we can expect corresponding returns."

"Prince Schneizel, as an official who also serves in the federal government, what do you think?" Roland cast a questioning look at a handsome young man.

"Your Majesty Roland, I have always strictly abide by the government's secrecy regulations." As the second prince of Britannia, Schneizer has always focused his work in the country. Decision-making is generally not very involved, “but our country’s fiscal budget was announced last month, and I believe the market is large enough to allow everyone to eat well.”

These people are really interesting. They talk about character, principle, and confidentiality. In a few words, the federal plan to increase military spending this year is completely clean. Sure enough, Klein's face turned black. He was treating himself as an imaginary enemy of the Federation.

"There is absolutely no pressure on the research and development and production capacity of the research institute." Now is the time for Ed to speak, adding the last part of the argument, "Judging by my personal professional level, it is also appropriate to undertake more business. It will not affect the normal operation of the MS department."

Of course, the Gundam test driver hasn't hired this kind of thing, it won't be said to be killed.

"I remember that the research and development of the Z series is not over yet." Bisite looked at Ed in the video, "Is it really appropriate to say that there is no pressure at all in this situation, Dr. Lingos?"

"The most complex design of the deformable skeleton has been completed, and only the step-by-step actual machine debugging work is left. I don't think there is any problem in adding additional burdens to the institute." The actual machine debugging is of course not an easy task that can be completed step-by-step. There are several technical difficulties waiting to be overcome, but can the boss of the consortium understand this? "Or is President Bist questioning my professional level? Which of the top scientists in the asteroid belt I have not seen? Before the death of Dr. Minovsky of the Federation, I was talking and laughing."

"Is the deformable skeleton completed so quickly? As expected, it is Dr. Adrian." Roland was obviously very happy when he heard the news, and showed Ed with a bright smile. "Doctor, you are the only shareholder involved in the actual production of Anaheim. If there are any problems and difficulties that we can't see, we can just take this opportunity to talk about it."

Roland's transfer of the topic to Ed is actually a conclusion of the topic just now, and Bist has lost the power to pursue it.

"Although I am very embarrassed, there is something that needs your help." Your Excellency Prince Roland is so sweet! Ed is really pleasing to the eye the more I look at him, he has a good personality and strong ability, and he looks good. It is rumored on the Internet that Prince Roland's women's looks are not inferior to Queen Diana. Could it be true? "It's about the study of psychosensory. If there are new humans with personal cooperation, it should speed up a lot of progress. It is not easy to carry out some work only relying on the exchange of words."

Ed is very tactful, but it is a signal in itself to put it forward on this occasion. Roland's reaction here is not important, as Gamitov Hyman understands it. This is for the earth military to listen to.

"The psychic framework is of course very important, and this is also the requirement of the Federation itself." Heyman really did not live up to Ed's expectations, "but the pressure on Captain Lei's entry into the universe does not only come from within the army. I say this in Lingo. Dr. Si, you can understand what I mean."

"There are disagreements in the handling of the new humans within the Federation. Of course, I understand this very well." Ed took out the statement that had been considered for a long time last night. Too many new humans, or do not want more new humans. Understanding its essence is the first step to the solution, right, Minister Hyman? To put my own bragging words, I will come up with the technical level of the research under my command. A new human research report that convinces the Federation is not difficult."

"It's too modest. It is indeed very convincing to say this from Dr. Lingoes." Heyman was obviously a little moved, but it is not the time to make a decision. "I will discuss this matter when I return. The military department discussed it carefully."

If someone at the level of Hyman said that, the problem was half solved.

Roland gave Ed a positive look. Feeling good, it’s worth the trip today.

When Ed was promoted to deputy director, he received an exceptional reception from Queen Diana and his wife, and Roland expressed his appreciation for Ed at that time. After becoming a shareholder, he also gets an additional opportunity to brush up his favor every year, and Ed has never wasted. Today's plan to embrace the Buddha's feet is a complete success. Ed feels that he can start thinking about the prize after winning.

The following discussions are all questions that have nothing to do with him. Ed only needs to vote yes to all Roland's decisions. There were not many controversial topics left, and the meeting ended soon. After saying goodbye to Roland, Ed went down to a high-end restaurant at Klein's invitation. I didn't remember until I sat down. Isn't this the restaurant where I first met C.C. a few years ago? I hope that the waiter will not remember the events of the year, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. Since C.C. said that this restaurant is expensive and not tasty, the two have never been here again.

"This taste really is pure and premium terrestrial beef." Klein gracefully swallowed a steak, and Ed ordered the same food under his recommendation. The beef grown on the satellite is completely different. Coupled with the top-notch cooking methods, this restaurant is so famous, it really is not a tale."

Ed thought he was talking nonsense, but he nodded in agreement. To be honest, with the current level of technology, it is difficult to distinguish between artificial beef and natural beef. What's more, terrestrial beef and satellite beef are purely metaphysical. But you can't complain, the speaker's face still has to be given.

"I remember Doctor, you are a fan of the little girl." This is how you talk to a politician like Klein. Before talking about business, you must go around and talk about the weather today, showing that everyone is very harmonious. "The new single released by the little girl a few days ago, I wonder if the doctor took the time to listen to it?"

"What Mr. Klein said, I of course pre-ordered it as soon as possible." This is actually the truth, and there is no commercial communication, but Klein may not think so, "Ling Mei's voice is the same as before. The sound of nature, the new song's quality is better than before. Yesterday I was in the office with a single loop."

"It's great if the doctor likes it." Klein smiled ambiguously, "By the way, did you open the gift for the doctor before?"

"Not yet. You are so expensive that you still bring gifts." What's the matter with this strange expression, "I don't know if I can tell you what it is? I believe Mr. Klein must have prepared a great gift."

"Thank you. Leave a surprise for the doctor. I believe you will like it." Klein pretended to be nonchalant and changed the subject, "I don't know what plan the doctor has in the second half of the year?"

"Except for normal research work, there are no other plans, right."

"The doctor has been living on the moon for so many years. He has been focusing on research and it has been very hard." Klein slowly sliced ​​the steak, making a habitual look. "Have you ever thought of taking a vacation and going out? Take a walk, have fun? Maybe you can get more inspiration?"

"what do you mean…?"

"I mean," Klein put down his knife and fork and looked at Ed. "Is the doctor interested in visiting PLANT?"
