"These joint members related to LOGOS have huge rights in the coalition. These people's rights can completely allow the entire coalition to do anything that is beneficial to LOGOS. The most typical behavior is to launch a war to gain their interests, but these benefits are all exchanged for the lives of the coalition's own soldiers, the lives of ZAFT soldiers, and the lives of innocent civilians in the world."
"Today I am here on behalf of Orb, and I have decided to formally declare war on LOGOS, just like Speaker Durandal. I have said before that anyone who dares to initiate war will be Orb's enemy, and I will fight against it no matter the cost or resort to any means. It attacks, and I will repeat this sentence again today. LOGOS, as the largest Death Merchant organization in the world, has become and is the main factor driving the continuation of the war. From now on, Orb will fight LOGOS until it is completely eliminated."
"Finally, what I want to explain to you is that although LOGOS controls the alliance, the alliance is not equal to LOGOS. I am here to tell you clearly that the target of Orb is only Death Merchant LOGOS, not those soldiers who were deceived into becoming tools. If you are not willing to continue to be fooled, In the dark, continue to work for LOGOS and become their tool for profit, and do not want to become the executioner despised by the world. Whether you are a joint soldier, an official, or a person who is unwilling to become a pawn in the hands of LOGOS, I hope you can see clearly the true source of evil in the world now, stand up, break away from them and stand on our side."
"The soldiers who left the alliance are not traitors. You are just heroes who made the right choice. The peace of the world cannot only rely on one person or one force. This is something that all of us as human beings must take action. I also declare here that no one will withdraw from the alliance within three months from now on. Orb will regard you as LOGOS's associates and eliminate them at all costs. For those who leave the alliance within the specified time, Orb will become your strongest shield and most trustworthy comrade, protecting you until the end of this war against LOGOS."
"Let us fight together for the same purpose, for the same homeland, and for eternal peace after this war."
When Xiao Ran finished his last sentence, although Durandal had a faint smile on his face, his pupils suddenly shrank. He did not expect that Xiao Ran would be here. Under such circumstances, he blatantly persuaded the soldiers of the alliance to leave the alliance, but what really shocked him was that Xiao Ran so directly said that Orb was willing to accept the giants who left the alliance.
In comparison, although ZAFT's overall power is greater than Orb, and far beyond Orb, in the minds of civilians around the world, ZAFT can never be compared to Orb. To be precise, Durandal's personality charm and trustworthiness are far less than that of Xiao Ran.
Especially now that ZAFT and the United are in a confrontational situation, Orb, Neutral Countries, stands up, especially Xiao Ran, the hero who prevented the development of the last war, stands up, of course Orb and Xiao Ran are more worthy of the trust of civilians and Earth Force people. After all, what Orb represents in this world is neutrality and peace. This is an advantage that PLANT cannot match at all.
Xiao Ran said that after seeing today's press conference that was broadcast to the world through news media around the world, those soldiers who knew the truth and wanted to leave the alliance would reflexively think that the first target would never be ZAFT, but Orb, which had a better reputation. This made Durandal's heart skip a beat, and the smile on his face became a lot stiffer.
After Xiao Ran put down the microphone, he slightly bent over to the crowd. This scene was also simultaneously broadcast to the whole world. This action of Xiao Ran represented that he had finished speaking. It also made people who saw this scene feel the meaning of Xiao Ran's request, which was a request for everyone to work together to restore peace to the world.
After the press conference, the whole world fell into madness, because the words of Durandal and Xiao Ran blamed all the misfortunes that happened in the world on LOGOS, and huge public anger suddenly As a result, riots broke out one after another in the areas controlled by the alliance. People whose names were announced by Durandal were arrested from various places by the angry people, and the Earth Force system was also in chaos.
Battleships, planes, and MSs began to leave the Alliance. Soldiers in many Alliance military bases broke out in riots after learning the truth. Cities, military camps, and ports were filled with people filled with anger. Those who knew the truth believed that the Alliance had deceived them and their loved ones. The deaths and the desperate war were all caused by some people in the Alliance for their own interests. This grief of family destruction seemed to find the right outlet, and all the anger began to pour towards the Alliance and LOGOS. This comprehensive chaos lasted for more than a week.
But this more than a week was just the prelude to the chaos. Countless people whose identities were revealed by the formula were arrested by the angry people and Earth Force people who tore their military uniforms. Crazy punishments were carried out without any trial at all. After a week, although it seemed to have stabilized a lot, in fact the next The alliance will encounter more troubles. One after another, regions announced their separation from the alliance, leaving Global Security Alliance to join the embrace of PLANT and Orb. East Asian Federation, the first to stand up, directly dealt a huge blow to the alliance.
On the day of the press conference, Xiao Ran began to return to Orb on Second Archangel, and the three fleets promised by Xiao Ran also departed from on the same day. Orb set off, but the destination was not Gibraltar. Instead, it went to the western region of Ouyang Federation, which was the most seriously damaged during the war, and went to the front line to participate in the battle against LOGOS.
That is the place that has suffered the most severe damage from the coalition, and it is also the place where the anti-LOGOS and anti-cooperation voices are the highest. Going there can effectively control the coalition's actions and give great support to the Rebel Army over there. Of course, the most important thing is that ZAFT and Orb Army can use the situation here to directly attack the already chaotic coalition and go deep into the hinterland.
Although it is definitely the most appropriate time to take advantage of the chaos of the Alliance to attack as soon as the LOGOS is announced, judging from Durandal's cleverness, how could he not know that it is the most inappropriate time to launch an attack on the Alliance at that time.
If the war really starts at that time, it will inevitably lead to the sacrifice of many Earth Force people in the alliance who have begun to doubt and doubt, and even directly want to rebel. It will inevitably lead to more hatred, and it will also strengthen the determination of uniting those soldiers who want to leave and continue fighting with ZAFT, and unite those on one side People with lofty ideals can take advantage of the external unity and internal confusion to stand up and take the initiative to overthrow LOGOS. Although the alliance is likely to cease war with ZAFT, by that time it will not be able to achieve the goal of Durandal completely disintegrating the alliance and executing Destiny Plan.
So Durandal is waiting, waiting for the alliance to collapse on its own, without exerting any external force to let the alliance collapse due to the conflict between LOGOS. Under such a conflict, LOGOS, which has an obvious advantage, will inevitably drive away many people with lofty ideals who are unwilling to continue to collude with them. Since Orb and ZAFT are the most retreat, those people will not choose to stay in the alliance because of external pressure.
Anyway, the alliance will definitely fall apart if they don't use troops. If they use troops, it will force the other side to reunite. Under such circumstances, sitting back and reaping the benefits is naturally the best choice. It doesn't require any action at all to make the alliance's power shrink rapidly. ZAFT and Orb However, the power of will increase rapidly. Durandal certainly knows how to choose, not to mention Xiao Ran who is obviously delaying time and waiting for those who leave the alliance to join Orb.
But when Xiao Ran was mentioned, Durandal felt a headache. Even if Xiao Ran had left ZAFT's sphere of influence and returned to Orb, it would still be the same. The last words Xiao Ran said in the press conference were indeed much better than those of Durandal. Just the news Durandal received, from the beginning of the United Investment chaos to the departure of United Investment more than a week later The Earth Force who relied on Orb, including the battleships, mobile suits, supplies, ammunition and other messy things he brought with him, was more than three times more than the number of people who took refuge in ZAFT. Now with Orb Z Z's military port is at the center of the circle, and the entire coastline is full of ships that have broken away from Orb and joined the alliance, which has increased Orb's combat power. Originally, these things should belong to ZAFT.
What's more important is that Durandal has not been able to show any dissatisfaction with this. After all, this is the choice of those who left Earth Force. It is not the spoils gained by the two sides in the joint battle. It was not until this time that Durandal discovered that the 3:1 spoils split proposed by Xiao Ran was simply waiting for him in this place.
The growth of Orb will pose a great threat to his future plans. This is something that he cannot accept in any case. The stronger Orb is, the greater the threat to him. He can already imagine that when he announced the execution of Destiny Plan, Xiao Ran brought Orb and a series of opposition forces to stand up against him, which made him frown deeply.
When Durandal looked at a piece of information placed on the table in front of him, his brows suddenly relaxed for some reason, and a thoughtful and indifferent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have some ideas in his heart.
In this document, a photo showing the lunar surface was sandwiched. The photo showed a huge circle-shaped industrial machinery product on the lunar surface. The content of the document seemed to be a circular lifting platform, but the document stated that this was the ultimate weapon jointly created by the United and LOGOS, a super weapon capable of destroying Orb between Setsuna.
