Anyway, his title of 'Wild Boar Princess' has been confirmed. The impatient Cagalli gave up thinking without hesitation and started asking questions.

"So, how can we end this war?

The war that lasted for one year has created a huge amount of hatred, and even neutral countries are almost unable to survive alone;

Moreover, Earth Alliance and Plant have gradually become accustomed to war, and even the people are mostly deceived or incited.

How can we end the war under such circumstances?"

Although Cagalli gave up thinking and her speech was still very emotional, her unexpected words revealed that she had thought about this issue repeatedly, so even Haman looked at her with strange eyes.

"What are you looking at?!"

Facing Cagalli's outburst in everyone's silence, Haman smiled.

"Nothing.

'Although she is 'Wild Boar Princess', she is still a princess after all...'

I just thought about it for a moment, and it turned out to be Wild Boar Princess."

Before Cagalli gives up on himself or resorts to force, Luther quickly answers Cagalli's inquiry.

"Haha, there are so many ways to end the war. Just thinking about it, there are three ways."

After whetting Cagalli's appetite and looking at Lacus thoughtfully, Luther came up with plan one.

"This strategy is all about simplicity and roughness.

As long as one party to the war is completely eliminated, the war will naturally end."

Before Cagalli went berserk, Lacus, who had long been expected, spoke out first.

"Your Excellency Luther·Deikun, as a victim of the strategy of 'Blue Cosmos';

To us Coordinator, this joke is not funny at all."

Seeing that even Haman next to him rolled his eyes at him, Luther smiled awkwardly.

"Sure enough, none of you here can accept the worst solution, so it doesn't matter, I still have a better solution!

As long as there is an enemy that is much more powerful than the ZAFT and Earth Alliance armies combined, and both are to be eliminated equally, then under huge external pressure, the war between the two will naturally end."

"What nonsense are you talking about, unless aliens or underground people suddenly appear... ah."

After revealing his taste for science fiction novels, Cagalli suddenly reacted and looked at Luther, the leader of 'Celestial Being';

But Lacus still maintained the same light tone as before and once again rejected Luther's proposal.

"You are joking, Mr. Luther·Deikun.

If 'Celestial Being' had this strength, I'm afraid you would have done this already, right?

However, in the current situation, it can be said that this best strategy has partially worked."

Luther was very happy for Lacus's 'cooperation', so he came up with a practical and feasible 'medium strategy'.

"I'm sorry, I'm ashamed, I just made a small contribution.

Having said that, although neither the worst nor the best strategy will work, I still have a middle strategy."

As he said that, Luther also changed his expression and tone to a serious one.

"That is to unite friends, win over neutrals, and attack enemies."

"Unite friends..."

Lacus calmly and softly recited the first part of Luther's "Zhongce", and successively turned his attention to the faces of Luther and Cagalli.

"Court neutrality?"

Cagalli recited the second part of Luther's "Zhongce" with some confusion, and her dull eyes proved that she was thinking seriously.

"Fight the enemy!"

Haman happily recited the third part of Luther's "Central Strategy". For Haman, there is nothing better to understand than this:

Those who oppose brother Luther are enemies. All he has to do is drive the Newtype special machine that brother Luther prepared for him, use Funnel to eliminate them one by one, and make them understand what 'criticism of weapons' is!

After the three women joined together to complete the retelling of Luther's "Zhongce" and each had a preliminary understanding;

Not surprisingly, Lacus was the first to confirm the details.

"So Luther, according to your public statement in 'Celestial Being Formation Declaration', the enemies referred to here are Logos and 'Blue Cosmos', and do you think there is Rau Le Creuset who is engaged in conspiracy?"

In response to Lacus's confirmation and Cagalli's curious look, Luther touched it again and did not intend to think about it but just wanted to continue posting. Haman nodded first and then shook his head before giving a reply.

"While ideally this could be said, I don't think it would be that simple at all.

After all, as Cagalli just said, the war has already reached this point;

Then no matter how unwilling everyone is, they must have interests or hatred in the war, and it is not surprising that it can overwhelm the desire for peace.

A detailed analysis of the words of the Earth Alliance, one of the main participants in the war:

Since Eurasian Federation, which already lacks a unified opinion, has been deeply involved in the war, it may be difficult to reach a unified opinion on extricating itself from the war;

Atlantic Federation, who is deeply coerced by Logos, may have an opposition, but I am afraid that before the situation changes drastically, Atlantic Federation as a whole, as the "camp leader" of the Earth Alliance, will not be the first to withdraw from the war;

Relatively speaking, Human Reform League, which currently shows wonderful restraint, seems to be the most promising, but further observation and contact are needed.

As for Plant, I believe Lacus you know better than me. Patrick·Zala, as a common representative of various extreme public opinions and the leader of the hawks, may even be stronger than Logos in terms of willingness to continue the war, and..."

Luther didn't need to hesitate to say anything, Lacus completed the supplement himself.

"And the current mainstream public opinion in Plant is inclined to continue the war.

In fact, if it were not for the timely appearance of 'Celestial Being', my father, as the speaker, would have almost lost control of Supreme Council before the battlefield situation changed significantly;

In the election of the new Supreme Council Speaker of the Plant that is about to change in April, I'm afraid Uncle Patrick will also be elected."

Facing the 'Plant's inside story' revealed by Lacus, Cagalli simply couldn't believe it.

"How could this happen?

I heard that 'Mentor' has always acted as an intermediary, trying to get Speaker Klein and Secretary-General Albany to work together to reach a ceasefire and move towards peace?"

Regarding Cagalli's shock, Haman mocked him as always.

"How to cease fire?

Did Plant surrender and become a piece of meat on the chopping board?

Or will the leader of the Earth Alliance, Gao Fengliangjie, surrender and become the target of other forces?

You don't think that when both sides have already fired their guns, and both feel that they are sure of winning and have the ability to continue fighting, the war can be ended with just a few 'surrendering factions', right?

I can guarantee that even if the Speaker, Secretary-General, Mentor really come up with some kind of armistice agreement, even if it is an equal agreement in which each side takes a step back;

Do you believe it or not that soon there will be people from the military who will punish the traitors of the country, tear up the "unequal and shameful agreement" in everyone's eyes, and continue the war?"

Haman's words were so harsh in Cagalli's ears, but both Luther and Lacus obviously agreed and acquiesced to Haman's statement. This was obviously a huge impact on Cagalli's originally naive understanding.
