Chapter 798 Old Fox
"After the incident of Junius 7, this black hand even controlled the entire Earth Force to wage war against PLANT, brutally used dangerous nuclear bombs against PLANT again, and caused countless tragedies throughout the world. They regarded ordinary refugees as dangerous elements and massacred them. They did not hesitate to provoke a bigger war for the sake of profit, so that they could sell the war equipment they made at every turn."
"Blue Cosmos, an organization that is disgusting and contemptible, was created by this black hand. The purpose is to cause unlimited conflicts and wars between PLANT and the earth, so that they can gain more benefits."
"And in the alliance, countless people have joined this behind-the-scenes organization, cooperating with this black hand to carry out all kinds of unreasonable actions, wars, massacres, terrorist actions, from decades ago to the present, all contradictions, conflicts and wars were created by them. For the sake of profit, they did not hesitate to betray the interests of the people and the country, sacrificing the lives of innocent soldiers, and sacrificing the lives of more innocent people."
Speaking of this, Durandal's words also made Orb and everyone on the PLANT side frown, especially the people on the PLANT side who looked at their speaker with surprised eyes.
Xiao Ran also made an incredibly surprised expression at this time, and then frowned.
Durandal knew what he was going to say. Xiao Ran knew it well. After talking nonsense for so long, he finally wanted to expose LOGOS, the organization that was operating the war behind the scenes. With the current From the standpoint of Orb, this kind of organization that has caused chaos in the world is fundamentally hostile to peaceful and neutral countries like Orb. Once it is truly made public, it will be Orb's natural enemy.
Even if Orb knew about an organization like LOGOS in the past, it was completely normal for them to just condemn or make no movement without knowing the specific composition. But if Durandal tells everything today and gives specific information, it will basically force Orb to make a choice here.
If Orb chooses to ignore or consider it, then Durandal will also announce it to the world, and it will be announced before Orb can react at all, but at that time Durandal will accept it To gain more reputation and supporters, and if Durandal says a few more words in the middle, pointing out that Orb is ignored, then Orb and Xiao Ran will also be greatly affected, and it will definitely be a negative impact.
And if Orb chooses to deal with LOGOS, then Orb and ZAFT will stand on the same front to some extent. Even if they are not alliances, they still have a common enemy. LOGOS and the controlled Earth Force, not to mention being used as a gunpoint by Durandal, will also pull Orb from a neutral position.
In the previous battle with the United Nations, Orb was passive, but if it recognizes LOGOS and recognizes Durandal, then this passivity will become active. If Orb becomes a country that takes the initiative to go to war, it will completely violate the charter of this country, and it is very likely to encounter opposition from its own citizens.
Of course, Durandal now does not dare to use Orb as a gunpoint. What he hopes is either to make Xiao Ran become a spurned side, or to turn Xiao Ran and Orb into his side.
Durandal knows this, and Xiao Ran also knows this. Durandal's formal visit not only wants to know the current situation of Orb, that is, to tie Orb to the flames of war in the world, and now that the two sides have not reached an agreement, it is like putting a smoke bomb outside saying that Orb has anything to do with ZAFT.
Although Xiao Ran's face was surprised at this moment, he had to admire the old fox's skill in his heart. Compared with the dirty tricks of the Union, he was simply much better. If it were the little girl Cagalli, Durandal would be fooled into the car in minutes, and Orb might become the main force against the Union and LOGOS.
But now that Xiao Ran has been replaced, all this will naturally not happen. Durandal also knows that Xiao Ran is definitely countless times more difficult to deal with than Cagalli, and even more difficult to deal with such a large alliance, so from the beginning, the attitude was that both parties are equal, and even if ZAFT exerts more power, Orb will be tied up.
According to the normal conversation that followed, someone should have asked what was going on with this gangster, but Xiao Ran maintained a slightly frowning look, and did not seem to be surprised after being surprised, and all the members belonging to Orb's side looked at Xiao Ran, has no intention of speaking beyond Xiao Ran. In fact, from this point of view, we can also see the degree of unity of Orb now, and the strength of Xiao Ran's control over Orb.
Durandal was shocked when he saw this scene. He did not expect that Xiao Ran, who had only been back for a short time, could get such support from the Orb cabinet and military officers. If the Orb government is like this, what will happen to the people. However, he looked at Xiao Ran without any change of expression on his face, preparing to continue talking if Xiao Ran didn't speak.
However, Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Durandal: "The man behind the scenes mentioned by Speaker Durandal has actually been heard by Orb, not to mention the previous commotion. Cagalli mentioned the organization's LOGOS in the highly publicized incident of the Global Security Alliance. After all, as state managers, we are not as ignorant as civilians and ordinary middle- and lower-level personnel."
"But in fact, although Cagalli doesn't understand it, we Orb already knew what the black hand you mentioned, Speaker Durandal, was two years ago. However, Orb was already in dire straits at that time, and it was unable to interfere with the real mastermind at that time, the Death Merchant organization called LOGOS."
"However, after the last war, Orb also contributed a lot to world peace. LOGOS was also greatly affected by this and its power was greatly reduced. Moreover, this organization also belongs to a commercial alliance system and does not apply to the rules of force elimination. But speaking of alliance, PL ANT, Orb and even all the countries and forces in the world have more or less dealings with LOGOS. The only difference is that LOGOS has a deeper impact on the alliance. Under such circumstances, all Orb can do is to use normal means to control the development of LOGOS."
"After all, one of the concepts that Orb insists on is not to interfere with other countries, so in our opinion, the effect of this moderation is not very great. After the end of the last war, it stands to reason that the living space of LOGOS will become very small, but in fact, now, the entire world The conspiracy of LOGOS is everywhere again, and LOGOS has developed again, but I am actually very confused as to why the world has become like this, but I think this is not Orb's problem, after all, Orb has done everything it can."
"There is no smoke without fire. How did LOGOS seize the opportunity to develop again? At least from this point of view, both the Alliance and ZAFT have certain responsibilities. Your arms race has helped the development of LOGOS to a certain extent. As for Orb, I believe that Speaker Durandal should know better than me what Orb has been like in the past two years."
"But Speaker Durandal, you have already said this, so I think the reason why you came here in person is not just to tell me about LOGOS and remind me that Orb is still in danger." Xiao Ran looked at Durandal and said calmly, "Then Speaker Durandal came here this time, and he should also hope that Orb can give some support to ZAFT in dealing with LOGOS. I can agree to this in advance. After all, as a Neutral Countries, I have also been attacked by the coalition. I have also said that I will cause trouble for anyone who dares to start a war. Therefore, LOGOS and Orb are indeed in a state of hatred and hostility. I have no objection to destroying this kind of thing."
Durandal kept listening carefully, keeping every word of Xiao Ran in mind. At the same time, he kept nodding and objectively expressed his feelings towards Xiao Ran's words. Agree, and when Xiao Ran offered to provide certain support when ZAFT dealt with LOGOS, this also made Durandal smile lightly and feel a little relieved.
Although one of the purposes of Durandal coming to Orb has been achieved, Xiao Ran directly made a promise without wasting time or saliva, but this promise is not Durandal invited Orb to join in with the idea of eradicating cancer for the sake of world peace. Of course, Durandal could only think that asking Orb to deal with LOGOS together was an invitation and not a request.
There is a difference between a request and an invitation. Both Xiao Ran and Durandal know the difference. In order to let Durandal go on the original path, Xiao Ran was originally unwilling to get involved in this matter, but Durandal made it clear The purpose is to tie Orb to his own tank, so Xiao Ran simply cooperates actively to gain more benefits for himself and Orb. This benefit is invisible, and it is even good as long as it does not cause any negative impact on Orb.
Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Ran to just follow Durandal and let Orb tie up his chariot to deal with LOGOS. Orb can get fame and honor if he exerts his strength among them, especially Xiao Ran, which is also beneficial. This does not violate the ultimate goal of Xiao Ran.
But it is impossible for Orb to deal with the alliance, and it is even less possible for Orb and ZAFT to jointly form a United Forces to deal with LOGOS, so that they can become more comprehensive and united against each other and eventually be used by Durandal, causing Orb to fall into a real war vortex.
Therefore, even if Durandal agrees to deal with LOGOS together, some method must be used to allow Orb to earn sufficient benefits without letting Orb fall into the whirlpool of war, preventing LGOSO and the United Alliance from putting the target of hatred on their side, and at the same time, Durandal cannot say a single bad thing.
