Xiao Ran told his secretary about his decision to travel the next day. Originally, after Xiao Ran saw Flay, he intended to transfer Flay to his side as his secretary. After all, it was more suitable to have a familiar person by his side to do things for him than someone he was not familiar with, but Flay refused.
There is not only one secretary of Xiao Ran, but he represents Xiao Ran. He must be very careful. Although there is no clear authority, it does not mean that there is no right. If it were replaced by the previous Flay, of course Flay would agree without even thinking if he could be with Xiao Ran, a familiar person, but that was not the case with Flay now.
The mature Flay can think of more things and is aware of his own abilities. He knows that he may not be able to take on the kind of stressful and delicate work. He is also worried that something might go wrong when he is doing things, which will eventually lead to bigger problems. Therefore, he rejected Xiao Ran and decided to stay in Akatsuki Works and follow Director Symonds in the development of new models.
Xiao Ran Although he doesn't know how much Flay has changed now, let alone what Flay's abilities are, he can naturally do what Flay thinks of. It's imaginable, but I just hope that a familiar person can help me arrange some relatively secret things. The ability is a secondary issue, but Flay refused, and Xiao Ran didn't say anything more.
Xiao Ran's departure from Orb is a big deal for Orb. The most suitable arrangement must be made to determine the time for Xiao Ran's trip. However, Xiao Ran happens to have some things to do at the moment, so it will not delay Xiao Ran's time when the people below are preparing this matter.
It took a few days to discuss the prisoner handover with the Global Security Alliance. Although they also protested to Orb, in fact, the entire Earth Force can only protest against the current Orb. Compared with the time when Cagalli was in power and constantly threatened and put pressure on it, it simply does not look like a country.
But the protests over there don't matter to Xiao Ran at all. First of all, Second Archangel did not fight blindly. As the flagship of the Orb Army, as Xiao Ran In a certain sense, 's ship also represents the mobile territory of Orb. To start a war on the edge of Orb's mobile territory, of course I have to teach you some lessons.
Now that I have said it, the ones who really rendered that fleet incompetent were Archangel and Freedom Gundam who had already left Orb. It had nothing to do with Orb. What? Second Archangel is now at ZAFT's base? Please, our Orb is Neutral Countries. If you don't mind, I will also let Second Archangel visit your base next time? As I said, we have some simple basis for cooperation with ZAFT. We need to jointly deal with the mysterious force of librarians. How about you join in and send a force to ZAFT's Gibraltar base. Don't worry, Orb will absolutely guarantee the safety of that force within ZAFT's sphere of influence.
It's just such nonsense, and Xiao Ran's self-righteousness and the weakness of the alliance in dealing with Orb, and the fact that the losses are not that big, Xiao Ran also generously made certain concessions in terms of compensation, this matter was perfectly resolved with the dissatisfaction of a few Global Security Alliance people and the satisfaction of most people.
A group of fleets transporting huge amounts of supplies also began to sail in the direction of Orb. After Xiao Ran finished handling this matter, it also began to contact some forces close to Orb. Although some forces did not have regular armies and joined Global Security Alliance, it did not mean that these forces did not have resources.
Xiao Ran contacted one by one, seeking support one by one, or contacted Orb by purchasing on credit, and got a huge amount of supplies for Orb. Basically, What Xiao Ran did was simply borrowing a favor, trying to gain face or returning a favor. Doing this kind of thing once is enough. Don't tell Xiao Ran whether he is thick-skinned or not, it is indeed not appropriate to do it a second time.
While Xiao Ran was busy brushing his face, Archangel left the battlefield after causing trouble and began to move in the direction of Orb.
Mwu naturally knows that now Orb has become Legion Territory, so Cagalli, Kira and Lacus will no longer become any obstacles to Xiao Ran. It is also her idea to return to Orb.
But in addition to Mwu, Kira also wants to go back to Orb, meet his teacher in person, meet the person who has always taken care of him, and personally ask Xiao Ran what he wants to do from Xiao Ran's mouth, and Uzummi's last words really made Kira feel... He received something that he had not felt before. During the battle with Athrun, he also felt Athrun's support at all costs for Orb and Xiao Ran. He believed in Athrun and also believed in Xiao Ran, so he also proposed to go back to Orb.
But the first person to bring it up was not either Kira or Mwu, but Lacus. After Crimson Strike carried Freedom Gundam back to Archangel, and the two entered the bridge again, Lacus took off the headphones on his ears and stood up to look at Kira, who seemed calm, but had a lot of fluctuations in his heart, and Cagalli, whose eyes were full of tears, with guilt, loss, and sadness.
"Let's go to Orb."
After hearing Lacus's words, Mwu and Cagalli looked at Lacus with surprised eyes, while Kira nodded with a smile, "Yes."
Cagalli wanted to go back to Orb. She also wanted to see with her own eyes the difference in Orb after she left. She was moved but embarrassed. She didn't know what attitude and mood she should use to face that person. Xiao Ran seemed to have taken away her status and rights and became the orthodox Orb leader.
But what she did was really too much. She said those words and led Kira to do such things. Cagalli really didn't know how to face Xiao Ran, what to say after seeing Xiao Ran, and without Orb's status, what else could she bring to Orb, trouble or help?
"I... I..." Cagalli said the word "I", but he didn't know how to say the next words.
Lacus seemed to see the inner struggles and thoughts of Cagalli. He smiled gently at Cagalli and said, "I believe that the adult will not blame you for what happened. What do you think about We all understand Orb's feelings, and I believe the same goes for that adult. Although you may have done many wrong things in this process, they did not cause more serious consequences, but a mistake is a mistake after all. Don't you even have the courage to apologize to him in person?"
"Who said I didn't have it!" Cagalli retorted with a pinched neck, but then his tone became gentle again. "I just... I just don't know how to face him."
Lacus shook his head. "What are your inner thoughts? Do you want to go back and meet him, or do you choose to continue to escape and wander around without any purpose in your current situation as an exile without any help or supplies?"
Kira patted Cagalli on the shoulder, shook his head slightly when Cagalli turned to look at him, and said, "We must go back and make up for the wrong things we have done, and we must also know what the teacher really thinks now. I believe the teacher is a People who are truly willing to fight for Orb's ideals, so the close relationship between Orb and ZAFT will definitely not be as simple as we think at the moment. I want to know the inside story, I want to help Orb, help the teacher, and I also want to help you, do you understand?"
Cagalli looked at Kira's encouraging expression, and then looked at Lacus's same expression. He nodded hesitantly, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go back. It doesn't matter even if we are imprisoned by him. I have to watch him and not let him lead Orb down the wrong path."
"Cagalli." The encouraging smile on Lacus's face suddenly turned serious and serious. He looked at Cagalli and said in a deep voice, "You must not have such an idea anymore. Although you are the heir of the Asaha family, you are no longer the heir of Orb, and now you are not the leader of Orb., you are just a Orb noble, you have no position or right to decide the path of Orb, and you are not qualified to hinder the development direction of Orb. You can be a bystander or participate in the work of Orb, but you must never hold such an idea. For a country, it is best to have a common goal."
"Lacus..." Cagalli looked at Lacus blankly. He didn't quite understand how Lacus, who had always helped him, suddenly said such words, and he was standing on Xiao Ran's side. forbade her to continue to point fingers at Orb, but looking at Lacus's downcast face and the aura revealed unconsciously, Cagalli was stunned and at a loss as to what to do.
Kira also said next to him, "Cagalli, Lacus is right. Whether it is for you or for Orb, you cannot be involved in any decision of Orb. You are no longer Orb's Prime Minister. You really do not have this right. You have to decide everything about Orb, and if you insist on getting involved, how should those who support you and those who support the teacher make a decision? Especially in a country, your words or actions may cause Orb to split and eventually become hostile, do you understand?"
"I... I..." Cagalli gritted his teeth, shook his arm to shake off Kira's hand on his shoulder, turned around and ran out of the bridge with a glance.
The people on the bridge looked at each other in confusion as Cagalli left. There were more than just Mwu, Kira and on the bridge. Lacus three people, the tiger Andrew, the helmsman, the weapons controller, and the radar controller were all in positions, and Cagalli's immature move made these people shake their heads slightly.
Lacus looked at Kira with a questioning look, does that mean you don't want to go and take a look, but the latter shook his head and said, "She can figure it out. If she still can't figure it out, then I would rather she leave Orb and protect her like this than let her return to Orb."
