Cagalli once again allowed Cagalli to reshape his views on his own. After roughly completing the analysis of the enemy, Lacus actively confirmed with Luther the neutral parties that could be attracted and the friends that could be united;
The first person to be put on the table is naturally still the 'most handsome boy' Earth Alliance.
"Luther, you just analyzed Earth Alliance from the enemy's perspective;
On the other hand, if you want to find a neutral party to win over and a friend to unite with from the Earth Alliance, the same thing exists, right?"
Regarding Lacus's correct understanding, Luther nodded to confirm, so Lacus asked further questions.
"Even Atlantic Federation controlled by Logos?"
Luther nodded again, and then analyzed and confirmed with Lacus.
"While Logos is controlling Atlantic Federation behind the scenes, there is really little we can do.
But now that Logos has appeared in front of the stage, while his apparent control over Atlantic Federation has been strengthened, he also has someone to fight for.
In addition to other behind-the-scenes consortiums that must have conflicts of interest with Logos;
The puppet on the surface - the president of Atlantic Federation and some of the Establishment Faction and political faction behind him are probably also willing to 'kill people with a borrowed knife' in order to gain greater power, right?"
Regarding Luther's statement, Lacus thought about it for a moment, expressed his agreement, and drew inferences about other cases.
"Then the same is true for Eurasian Federation?"
In response, Luther gave out a bitter laugh.
"If Atlantic Federation is a powerful multi-headed giant with several brains competing for control of him;
Eurasian Federation is a small group of at least 3, 5 or even 30 people who gather together to keep warm.
We can certainly win over the support of some of them, but unless the situation worsens for Eurasian Federation to the point where they all have to fly away when disaster strikes, I'm afraid this support will not be transformed into anything of value.
Therefore, Eurasian Federation may not be a reliable ally, and of course there is no need to regard him as the main enemy. Letting him be basically "out" may be the best choice."
Faced with Luther's crude metaphor, Lacus felt it was very vivid, so he nodded repeatedly while confirming the last of the three giants Earth Alliance.
"What about Human Reform League?"
"You have also felt it, Human Reform League obviously reduced its participation in this war after Nova failed;
Even Battle of Kaohsiung did not use all his strength to resist, it was more like he was perfunctory or fulfilling his obligations."
Facing Luther's inquiry, Lacus nodded seriously.
"ZAFT's staff initially thought there was some conspiracy, but in the end they found out that it was entirely because of themselves.
To be honest, this has caused a lot of contempt for the Earth Alliance, and many bold decisions have been made."
Although Lacus said it more implicitly, Luther could naturally understand what she meant, so she responded with a wry smile again.
"This can be regarded as one of the tactics used by the regime in this land Human Reform League.
But if you really think that Human Reform League is weak and can be bullied, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot.
In short, judging from the attitude of Human Reform League, they have obviously lost interest in this war and are more focused on relying on their own strength to solve the problems faced by the country after the spread of N-Jammer.
From this perspective, although in terms of attacking the 'enemy', the most we can do is strive for Human Reform League neutrality;
But if we want to end the war and head back into deep space, Human Reform League may become a firm ally."
"From this point of view, it seems to be exactly the opposite of the possible allies in Atlantic Federation?"
In response to Lacus's inquiry, Luther nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Lacus's opinion:
Although some other internal forces within Atlantic Federation can be used to combat Logos, these forces may not like the long-term vision proposed by 'Celestial Being';
And even if they accept the vision proposed by 'Celestial Being', they will do their best to fight for dominance in order to ensure their own excess interests;
In other words, they are worried that letting others take the lead will deprive or damage their interests, because this is what Atlantic Federation did when he took the lead.
After completing the discussion on the Earth Alliance's forces, Lacus turned to confirm that it was a neutral country.
"So Luther, you are more sensitive to Orb Union, Kingdom of Scandinavia, African Community, Middle East Community (original name), South African Unified Organization, Equatorial Union, Oceania Union, South American Federation, etc., what do you think of the neutral countries on earth dominated by Natural?"
Hearing Lacus mention Orb, Cagalli, who obviously hadn't figured it out yet, also cast his eyes over, but Luther's reply gave Cagalli's original "three views" a heavy blow.
"To be honest, except for Orb, these other neutral countries are irrelevant at all.
Although some of these neutral countries seem to be leaning towards Plant and some are leaning towards one of the big countries in the Earth Alliance, in fact they are all just objects to be divided up on the dinner table.
Of course, we can treat them equally and respect their sovereignty, but this cannot change a core fact:
No matter what ideas, strategies, and demands they have, they are not strong enough to support them!
So it can only be the icing on the cake as a foil, and it's not worth fighting for too hard."
Having said this, Luther glanced at the flustered Cagalli, and then continued to express his opinions to Lacus.
"Only Orb has become a decisive force with its own mass projector, Morgenroete, the first-tier military industrial enterprise of Earth Sphere, and the mobile suit that was developed for the Earth Alliance while also being developed and mass-produced by itself.
As far as I know, the goal of ZAFT's 'Ouroboros' operation is to control all three mass projectors in the hands of the Earth Alliance, so as to gain almost complete control of the universe, right?
Have you considered attacking Orb and seizing Orb's mass projector?"
Facing the concerned look cast by Cagalli, Lacus shook his head slightly.
"As one of the few neutral countries that treats Plant equally, ZAFT did not include Orb as a target of attack;
Especially after Heliopolis's misfortune, Supreme Council has clearly deprived ZAFT of its discretion in this regard."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Cagalli who was obviously relieved, and Luther said something that made Cagalli jump up again.
"Then the combat purpose of 'Operation Ouroboros' will definitely not be achieved, because when necessary, Earth Alliance will definitely 'borrow' Orb's mass projector."
Regarding Luther, Lacus was obviously a little surprised, and Cagalli spoke angrily.
"'Do not intervene in the war, nor allow other countries to impose war on Orb.'
Father - Orb has a firm belief in this and will never lend Kaguya Spaceport to the Earth Alliance!"
Faced with Cagalli's resolute decision, Haman, who had been focusing on posting with Luther during this period, couldn't help laughing.
"What's weird!"
Facing Cagalli's still unaware inquiry, Haman tried to suppress a smile but failed, so he had to poke Luther;
Under such circumstances, before Luther, Lacus softly explained to Cagalli.
"Luther means that the Earth Alliance hawks led by Logos may use force to force Orb to compromise;
And if Orb refuses to compromise, I am afraid that Earth Alliance Pacific Fleet, led by Atlantic Federation, will launch a forceful attack and put Orb on the side of Plant in public opinion."
Cagalli was anxious and wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
Just when the scene in the reception room was a little awkward, Tessa's internal communication came in directly.
"Luther, Cima's pursuit force encountered a force presumed to be Earth Alliance 8th Fleet's advance fleet. Please come to the bridge as soon as possible."
