Chapter 122: Alejandro Corner's Ambition
North America, Beverly Hills.
On a small hill in this noble residential area symbolizing wealth and fame, stood a Western European-style castle.
The castle was magnificent and grand, having stood on this land for more than two hundred years, like a king who had ruled this land for two hundred years, looking down at the land below.
And the owner of this castle was the current head of the Kona family, Alejandro Corner.
In the hearts of the surrounding residents, this current head of the Kona family could be said to have power covering the sky. Not only did he hold important positions within the Alliance, but the family business also spread throughout the Alliance and AEU, and had close contacts with the high levels of both countries.
Rumors in the streets said that Princess Marina of Azadistan was able to get the Alliance's aid because she had prostituted herself to this suave adult.
After the news spread, I don't know how many socialites and noble ladies longed to get close to this adult who could even influence the fate of a country.
"Unfortunately, those are just rumors. I don't have any intersection with that princess."
Inside the castle, the rumored Lord Kona was shaking his wine glass, judging the boring rumors.
"However, the Alliance's aid was indeed promoted by you, wasn't it, my lord?"
On the side, Ribbons Almark in white clothes said obsequiously.
"Yes, but the result of the matter did not develop as I expected." Alejandro Corner cast his gaze toward the scenery outside the window. "That mercenary actually messed things up."
The information revealed in his words was that this adult who promoted the Alliance's aid to Azadistan had actually secretly manufactured the internal chaos in Azadistan as well.
Contradictory?
Perhaps not necessarily, because wasn't the Alliance's aid one of the important inducements for Azadistan's internal chaos?
"Everything is my mistake." Ribbons bowed to admit his mistake.
"No." Alejandro Corner shook his head. "No one could have expected that Wang Liumei's intelligence system would actually possess armed forces, and possess its own technology, and pass Veda's certification. This was indeed outside my plan."
After finishing speaking, this Lord Kona stopped talking, seemingly thinking about other things.
And just at this time, Ribbons' eyes suddenly became as brilliant as a disc, and then returned to calm.
This boy, whose appearance was as pure as an angel, curled his mouth and revealed a trace of mockery.
A moment later, Kona's personal communication terminal received a message from Wang Liumei.
"Request, to convene a full meeting of the monitors?" Kona smiled and shook his head. "This little girl actually still wants to struggle on her deathbed."
"What's the matter?" Ribbons asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"Nothing, everything is within my expectations." Kona put down his wine glass, stood up, paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the horse racing track below, and said in a tone of holding victory: "Ribbons, do you know?
I have always had quite a bit of experience in taming horses... especially little mares."
During the conversation, Kona received personal information from Wang Liumei again, hoping to have a private conversation once before the full meeting of the monitors.
"What a wonderful taming, then I will congratulate Lord Kona in advance here." Ribbons bowed and congratulated like a servant again: "The Wang family has held a pivotal position in the Human Reform League since the generation before last, and is also an important sponsor of Celestial Being, and holds quite a few intelligence channels. That is why you, Lord Kona, did not directly use the Trinity, but prepared to adopt a gentle means."
"Hehe." Kona turned to look at Ribbons, revealing a rare, arrogant smile, and said: "For the long-cherished wish of the Kona family!"

On the other side, within the Human Reform League, Wang Family Mansion.
Since Veda's order came down, Li Boyong's mood had become somewhat unstable.
From the moment he arrived in the Gundam 00 world, he knew he probably couldn't get a prototype solar furnace, so he had been eyeing the pseudo-furnace.
How to obtain a pseudo-furnace?
He decided to start with the Trinity, so he chose to lean toward Wang Liumei.
The goal was to persuade Wang Liumei to gain the Trinity's trust when they were at the end of their rope, and then rely on the powerful combat ability of the humanoid Gundam Hong Long to take down this Trinity and seize the three Throne Gundams.
In order to be able to use the Gundams after seizing them, he had Shihe prepare a backup operating system and obtained Nena's saliva, which could also be considered a kind of Nena's physiological characteristic, all to increase the success rate of seizing the machines at that time.
But now... he was caught off guard by the Trinity.
To be precise, he was preempted by Alejandro Corner.
It seemed that if he wanted to plot some things, there would always be deviations.
It was the same before; not only did he fail to get the Ptolemaios, but he even let Natarle Badgiruel get injured.
Resulting in not even having the opportunity to confirm with her whether she was willing to leave with him.
Sure enough, he is a straightforward boy, not suitable for those conspiracies and tricks at all.
Li Boyong summarized himself in his heart without any self-awareness.
Afterward, he adjusted his mindset and thought openly: Forget it, forget it, anyway, even if he got the Throne Gundams, the current system had no function to let him bring the machines to the next world.
Thinking this way, Li Boyong felt his thoughts were clear.
Unfortunately, he didn't get clear for long before he thought of Wang Liumei and Hong Long who were in the underground communication room, and his gaze toward the entrance of the basement gradually became gloomy.
Although they were barely considered to have some interest entanglements with Wang Liumei now, and they got along quite well usually, that black-bellied loli even called Shihe 'sister' one mouthful after another.
But he still didn't trust this deep-thinking girl, Wang Liumei, and what kind of decision she would make.
"Ayong..."
Shihe obviously read something from Li Boyong's gaze. She gently held Li Boyong's hand: "I believe in Liumei, she must be working hard to resolve the crisis."
Is that really the case?
Li Boyong slightly disagreed in his heart. If even Wang Liumei gave up, they might not even have a chance to resist.
So he began to think about how to control Wang Liumei under the protection of the humanoid Gundam Hong Long.
And in the underground communication room.
Wang Liumei was talking to Alejandro Corner.
"Ambassador Kona, don't you think this order from Veda is too unreasonable?" Wang Liumei restrained all the impatience in her heart, maintained a charming smile, and tried to persuade this monitor on the opposite side.
"Even if the Trinity is a Celestial Being execution unit certified by all monitors, there is no reason to control a technical worker."
"Even if Shihe Hafunisi is regarded as an unstable element and needs to be monitored, she should be sent to Celestial Being's rear base in outer space. Haven't all technical personnel who joined Celestial Being in the past two hundred years been like this?"
"As for the Beam Flags, the Trinity doesn't have extra pilots, right?"
Wang Liumei analyzed the unreasonableness of this order one by one. She planned to persuade Kona, then use these reasons to persuade the remaining monitors one by one, and then launch an impeachment against the Trinity at the full meeting of the monitors.
Although she knew the probability of success was very low, this was already the limit of what she could do at the moment.
It was just a pity that Wang Liumei didn't know that the object she intended to persuade was simply the mastermind who stole Veda's data and manufactured the three Throne Gundams and the three Trinity siblings.
Kona patiently watched Wang Liumei's final struggle, almost unable to control his expression.
In his eyes, Wang Liumei's words at this time were simply the final neighing of a little mare before being tamed.
"Please stay calm." Kona hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt Wang Liumei when he really couldn't pretend anymore: "Although I personally have doubts about this, Veda is the fundamental core that ensures our Celestial Being organization's plan can proceed smoothly. I believe Veda's order must have its reasons. It can only be said that perhaps it's because we, the ignorant, cannot understand it."
"As for the protection of Shihe Hafunisi, Veda naturally has its judgment. As for why it is executed by the Trinity, it should be because the Ptolemaios unit is in poor condition now, so the Trinity is responsible for transporting her to the rear base."
"As for the recovery of the Beam Flags, it should just be to prevent the leakage of technology. After all, with your vision, you should also know how much impact this technology would have on the plan if it fell into the hands of the three major countries."
"This..."
Wang Liumei was speechless, unable to hold back her expression anymore, her face somewhat gray.
Didn't expect that even the head of the Kona family, who usually got along very well, couldn't be persuaded. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
