Chapter 771 Declaration of War
In the subsequent press conference, Orb firmly refused to join Global Security Alliance, and officially regarded the Alliance as an opposing force. At the same time, he claimed to arrest all Alliance personnel in Orb. He also expressed his determination not to initiate a war unless the Alliance took the initiative to start a war with Orb. He also warned the Alliance not to cause any misunderstandings that might start a war.
Whether it is the words and attitude at the press conference or the actual actions of the Orb Army, both aspects express the determination that Orb will never succumb to the alliance under the leadership of Xiao Ran, and such an approach also seems to offend The joint party that originally planned to discuss with Xiao Ran privately, under the leadership of Eurasian Federation and Atlantic Federation, Global Security Alliance began to put pressure on Orb and issued a formal notice.
Let Orb immediately relieve Xiao Ran from his current position, dissolve the current government, and agree to all the requests made by the Global Security Alliance. This is to join the guarantee alliance. At the same time, a group of Combined Fleet set off from a certain base of the alliance to Orb.
The current situation of Orb seems to be exactly the same as what Orb encountered two years ago. Both were threatened to dissolve the government and then attacked. Last time, there were four Gundams, Archangel and Freedom, Justice, Strike, and Buster Gundam. This time, there is Justice Gundam modified to the extreme. There is hope. World Lord, Chaos, Abyss, Gaia, Strike and Dawn Gundam who have never been on the road before, the foursome Eshe who has not left yet, and Second Archangel who has the ultimate weapon, and even Providence Gundam and Red Dragon who can rush back as soon as a battle occurs. In terms of cutting-edge power alone, they are far greater than the last war.
In the last battle, the number of the Orb Army's MSs was scarce, and they did not reach the level of equipping the entire army, and most of the M S-Class Pilots had no combat experience, but this time it was different. Even with the restrictions in two years of development, they had reached the level of MSs that could equip the entire army. Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
With the combat power of the Justice Gundam and Destiny Gundam piloted by Xiao Ran, it is not difficult to drag down and kill one-third of Combined Fleet's strength and ships. The only thing that needs to be worried about is how many participants will appear in this Combined Fleet. In such a small-scale battle, the number of participants between the United and Orb will also become one of the important basis for the outcome of the battle.
According to the prompt at the beginning of the mission, less than fifty participants have joined this mission, and a few days ago, three participants completely fell into Orb. It is unknown how many participants will join the alliance, but it is also unknown whether there are any participants in the same Orb.
However, after Xiao Ran learned the news, he was so angry that he laughed. In order not to affect the plot, he did not take the initiative to go to war with the United Nations. Instead, he just asked Orb to remain neutral and warned the United Nations not to mess around. Even Outside World suppressed all the rumors about him being jointly kidnapped. Although for his identity in this world, he was indeed jointly kidnapped, but Xiao Ran, as a participant, did not have much awareness of this.
Unexpectedly, his restraint turned a blind eye to Lianhe, and he even took the initiative to discharge a Combined Fleet towards Orb. However, even if he thought about it, this Combined Fleet would also put a lot of pressure on Lianhe and Global Security Alliance. After all, he We are also in the midst of an all-out war with ZAFT. Coupled with the chaos around the world, this fleet is also the largest force that can be gathered to deal with Orb in a short period of time based on Orb Staff Department's speculation.
Not long after the coalition issued the notice, Xiao Ran also asked Orb to issue a notice, warning the coalition to immediately dissolve Global Security Alliance, remove all powers of the coalition president, and dissolve the existing coalition government, otherwise it will be eliminated at all costs.
The movements of the alliance and Orb have affected the tense nerves of the entire world, but the small country forces that were fawning over Xiao Ran at the reception were all silent at this time. No country or force proposed to choose to advance and retreat together with Orb at this time. Instead, the Mars delegation, which did not have much power at all, stayed under the choice of their 'prince', His Highness Agnes, to help Orb overcame the current difficulties. He believed that Xiao Ran's actions were for the sake of national peace, but the help they could provide was extremely limited. Apart from a strange-looking delta Astray, they were just some combat MSs modified and manufactured from the civilian mass-produced model Astray. They were not many in number and could not play a big role.
When the entire Orb Ministry of National Defense and the Cabinet began to be busy, the foursome Xiao Ran and Eshe also met a little. Earth Force has participants, PLANT has participants, Orb has no reason not to have other participants, but with Xiao Ran's current identity, it is impossible to have any contact with those hidden participants. Any contact, and the Eshe foursome had already announced their identities as participants during the last battle in the Orb territorial waters, so let the Eshe foursome go Finding and contacting Orb may still have hidden participants who have not jumped out. This is something that can only be done by the four of them, and Xiao Ran only gives them one day.
Because Xiao Ran received the information from the Staff Department, Combined Fleet will arrive in the territorial waters of Orb in at most forty-eight hours, Xiao Ran gave them one day to find the participants in Orb, hoping to use the remaining day to take the initiative and change the battlefield to a place far enough away from Orb.
However, Xiao Ran did not take the initiative to let the participants in Orb jump out. The first reason is that his identity is somewhat special, and the second reason is that Xiao Ran has rarely had anything to do with other participants in the mission. I don't quite know how the participants communicate with each other in Mission World, but the foursome of Eshe are different. They have been hanging out among the participants, so they naturally know the general behavior style of the participants, and they know better how to contact participants who belong to the same camp.
In the first twenty-four hours, four people from Eshe disappeared without a trace in Orb. After Mu took over the new body Savior Gundam, he asked Akatsuki Works to make modifications. The OS was also modified, and the Strike Gundam he had been driving for the past two years was officially handed over to a Orb guy named Weed Rabbi Nadaga, nicknamed Jaguar, who was from a low-class family but had excellent combat effectiveness.
This pilot, nicknamed Jaguar, is a complete enemy of Yura Seran. The reason is that Jaguar Wade has always liked Cagalli, and as a member of one of the many Orb families, he is also another pilot of Crimson Strike. After all, Cagalli, as Prime Minister, cannot always go to the battlefield in person, and Weide has made up for the vacancy in the body left by Cagalli's inability to fight in person to a certain extent, and serves as the escort leader of Cagalli.
The entire Orb army has also made active battle preparations. On the one hand, it is a large fleet that takes the initiative to intercept in accordance with the orders of Xiao Ran. On the other hand, it is the establishment of a defensive front to guard the Orb homeland. In this battle, neither Orb nor the alliance can afford to lose.
Orb cannot let the homeland fall into war and fall again. For the alliance, the Combined Fleet who formed this crusade against Orb are already under a lot of pressure. Once they fail, they will suffer. More from the huge pressure from ZAFT, Orb's victory will be settled once and for all for Xiao Ran. For a period of time, there will be no need to worry about the federation continuing to attack Orb.
If United wins, they will get everything from Orb. Whether Orb will still exist is open to question. At the same time, United will put great pressure on ZAFT after gaining the power of Orb. Even Durandal sitting on PLANT's side is somewhat unable to withstand the development of the current world situation.
But for Durandal, no matter who wins or loses in this battle between Orb and the Alliance, it will bring him only benefits and no harm. No matter which side is weakened, his plan can move forward. But at least Orb and PLANT are not enemies on the surface, so the relationship that should be maintained can still be maintained well with Durandal's style.
Durandal immediately told Orb that ZAFT could send troops to help Orb, but Xiao Ran neither agreed nor refused, and just asked someone to reply: PLANT and the Alliance are in a state of war. Orb is in a neutral position and only fights to protect itself from infringement. It does not alliance with any force or interfere with the choices of any force. However, Orb will uphold an attitude of goodwill and help to friends, and a malicious and warlike attitude towards enemies.
Although Xiao Ran did not publish a specific reply to ZAFT's willingness to support, such a reply is almost like an agreement. It is clearly telling Durandal that I don't care whether you send people or not. Anyway, you and the United are enemies, so you should send people. Anyway, I am not in alliance with anyone and I will not interfere with your actions. As long as you are Orb's friend, we are friendly and helping each other.
The message came back, but there was no news for a while. Xiao Ran was also handling all aspects of adjustment work in the National Defense Headquarters, looking at the reports coming in one after another, waiting for the departure time to arrive at the end of the first twenty-four hours.
When Xiao Ran was busy with the documents, Bargyll walked up to him and made Xiao Ran raise his head from the pile of documents that needed to be signed. Originally, he thought it was Eshe and the four of them coming back, but he didn't expect that Eshe and the others didn't wait for them to come back, but instead waited for another person.
After Xiao Ran raised his head, Bargyll said the first sentence, "Athrun is back, driving ZAFT's MS, which is the same model as your Savior Gundam. Also, Prince Agnes from the Mars delegation is also outside, hoping to meet you in person."
