Cagalli squeezed his hands tightly and looked at Cagalli in Communication Screen with tearful eyes. "But won't this make Orb the same as before, displacing the people of Orb, making everyone sacrifice, and making everyone sacrifice. Now look at what the battle two years ago was for, and all our efforts have been in vain."
After hearing Cagalli's words, Kira also fell into silence. The world has changed too much now, and it is too weird for people to understand the direction. It is like there is a black hand controlling everything behind, promoting the war between the United and ZAFT, and the appearance of Xiao Ran is too coincidental, as if it has been prepared for a long time., even though Kira believed that Xiao Ran would not be the mastermind behind the war, Kira still couldn't figure out why Xiao Ran only appeared after Cagalli left, and took over Orb with strong means, and then went to war against the alliance.
The enemy of the Union is ZAFT, and Orb's war against the Union does it have anything to do with ZAFT and PLANT, especially when it comes to the assassination of Lacus. Although Kira is unwilling to think about things so complicated, the facts force him to think more.
At this moment, Lacus appeared in the communication screen between the two. At this time, Lacus was sitting on the bridge of the ship with CIC Seat wearing earphones. He first smiled at the two of them and then said, "No matter what, in the current chaos of the world, whether it is your choice or his choice, Orb cannot stay out of the chaos of the world. For the sake of his own sovereignty, Although the process is the same as fighting and being forced to give in, Cagalli, one is about faith. Even if you die in battle, you are sacrificing for faith, for protection rather than aggression and destruction. What is the other purpose? It is a meaningless battle, only for joint rule and interests. Orb will also become a tool completely controlled by the union. I must also admit that your step of retreat in the past two years is indeed wrong."
"Your concession made the Union and PLANT see the opportunity and began to impose various restrictions on Orb. Akatsuki Works was forced to cut. The technical support that Akatsuki Works could provide Orb disappeared. The army was forced to cut, and the defense power was also oppressed. And it is precisely Because of this, Orb is less and less able to resist in the face of the alliance. If you encounter a little pressure or a slight threat, Orb will continue to give in. If one day the alliance asks Orb to relieve you of your rights and merge into the alliance as a whole, what will you do? Continue to give in or resist?"
"What the Lord is doing now is just to trigger these possible problems in advance. If Orb wants to maintain its current status as a neutral third force, sooner or later it will use fighting to ensure this status, either with the Alliance or with ZAFT. We are not willing to fight because we just want peace, but we are not afraid of fighting. That is to protect peace."
"If you think what he's doing is wrong, then why don't you tell him personally what you think. If you don't understand his purpose, why don't you personally listen to his thoughts."
Cagalli has been listening to what Lacus said, and as Lacus's words began to gradually waver in her heart, was she wrong? Was it because of her incompetence and choice that Orb became like this? Cagalli was a little confused, but her heart told her that there was nothing wrong with what she did. She made various choices for protection. Orb's strength has made the United and PLANT Both sides are beginning to be afraid. If they continue to be strong, sooner or later Orb will fall into the whirlpool of war again. Orb is a peaceful and harmless country and should not be feared by other countries.
For the sake of the stability of Orb, there is nothing wrong with choosing to sacrifice herself to marry Ceran Family. She is doing it for Orb. As the leader of Orb, she can only sacrifice herself for the stability of Orb. The situation of Orb is complicated, and with the pressure from the alliance, she chose to marry Ceran Family after careful consideration. She hopes that Ceran Family can contribute more to her and Orb. This kind of marriage puts Cagalli in the position of a political bargain. If you want to get it, you must give.
But for Xiao Ran, Cagalli's feelings are complicated. She is a little resentful about why Xiao Ran didn't appear earlier. If Xiao Ran appeared earlier, then all this may not have happened. She and Xiao Ran can work together to stabilize Orb and develop it more prosperously. She hates Why did Xiao Ran appear after she had left Orb, and arrested Ceran Family and a large group of powerful people in Orb? But to her surprise, the turmoil she thought would happen did not occur at all. The entire Orb united and emerged with a vigor and vitality that had never appeared when she was in power.
For Xiao Ran, Cagalli is also grateful. Thank you Xiao Ran for having paid so much for Orb, and is still paying for Orb today. Thank you Xiao Ran did not hesitate to hand over all rights to Orb when it was stable. Thanks to Xiao Ran for standing up during the most difficult time for Orb and re-establishing a Orb that was stronger than before.
But Cagalli also feels guilty. She feels guilty that after Xiao Ran handed over her rights, she did not take Xiao Ran's safety at heart. She thought Xiao Ran There would be nothing difficult for a person as powerful as, but in the end, Xiao Ran disappeared inexplicably. There were no clues at all except some traces of the appearance of small teams and gun battles at the scene. Feeling guilty that Xiao Ran had delivered the powerful Orb to her, but in the end it was because of her that Orb fell into a trough.
Cagalli's complicated mood actually made her dare not really face Xiao Ran at all. She was afraid that Xiao Ran would blame her, that Xiao Ran would be dismissive of her, and that Xiao Ran would not accept her ideas at all and continue to fight with the United Nations. Although She has been clamoring to meet Xiao Ran, but she has never really mustered up the courage to meet. She has been rejected time and time again, and she has put forward this idea again and again. However, it is also based on her impulsiveness and stubbornness. Kira's approval has given her courage, and Lacus's words have made her ready to put her courage into practice.
"Kira, let's go and see him. I want to know his thoughts and purposes, and I want to tell him my thoughts personally." Cagalli took a deep breath and raised his head, his expression more determined than ever before. "I want to tell him that Orb can never fall into war, nor can it withstand failure."
"Yes." Kira nodded, with some expectations in his heart. He was looking forward to meeting Xiao Ran. He also wanted to know where Xiao Ran had been and what he had experienced in the two years since he disappeared. He also wanted to know what kind of path Xiao Ran wanted to take Orb on.
Freedom Gundam and Crimson Strike ejected from the launch ports on both sides at the same time after Archangel floated, and began to fly quickly towards the direction of Orb's fleet.
Xiao Ran has also returned to Second Archangel at this time, except that Xiao Ran lost two Beam Saber and two Beam Rifle while driving In addition, Midnight Gundam can be said to be intact, but due to the strong pressure caused by two knee collisions and Crimson Forbidden falling from the sky, Midnight Gundam must be handled and inspected by maintenance personnel.
When Xiao Ran drove Midnight Gundam away from Second Archangel, the accompanying machines were Dawn Gundam and Savior Gundam, Abyss Gundam, Chaos Gundam, and Δ Gundam, but when they returned, there was an extra gray-black machine that did not originally belong to Second Archangel.
This aircraft body was brought all the way back from the sea by Abyss Gundam. When this aircraft body was dropped by Abyss Gundam on the wide ground in Gnakuli, a group of fully armed soldiers ran directly to the cockpit. Except for a melted round hole in the cockpit, everything in the cockpit was completely unrecognizable. There was no need for the efforts of those soldiers at all.
When Symonds conducted a preliminary inspection of the aircraft body, she couldn't help but feel shocked. Of course she could see that the cockpit was made by Beam Saber, but it was extremely accurate and only destroyed the canopy and interior of the cockpit, but did not penetrate deeper into the aircraft body, thus affecting more of the aircraft body. If the cockpit was damaged, it would The cockpit was repaired, the damaged chest was repaired, and the shoulders were repaired. Once the three repairs were completed, the machine body could be directly put into battle without much processing. When she learned that the machine body was actually a nuclear furnace, she was even more surprised and shocked by the terrifying judgment and control abilities of Xiao Ran.
This machine is the Crimson Forbidden that Xiao Ran defeated. In fact, Xiao Ran did not think about taking those three machines back to Second Archangel after destroying them at first., but when things developed like this during the battle, and Xiao Ran was given an excellent opportunity to defeat it and minimize the damage, Xiao Ran naturally would not refuse to bring this machine back.
In fact, Xiao Ran is still very interested in the three machines including Crimson Forbidden. Bringing them back can also enhance the power of Orb, and at the same time, it can also understand the current Technical Strength of the United. And Xiao Ran also has a unique feeling for the Forbidden Machine. Obtaining the beam Energy-diverting Armor helped him a lot. Naturally, he also hopes that Orb can obtain this technology and eventually let him obtain it.
After Xiao Ran got off the machine, he walked to Symonds. Symonds also looked at Xiao Ran with surprise, and then said, "Midnight Gundam I have obtained the actual combat data of. I didn't expect that you could use Midnight Gundam to such a degree of combat power. Moreover, through this battle, I also discovered some shortcomings of the current Midnight Gundam."
