Just when the Orb fleet began to march towards the World Security Alliance's combined fleet, almost everyone in the world was paying attention to the upcoming battle between Orb and the United Fleet. Who would win and who would lose at this moment? It's unclear. On the one hand, the alliance is now strong and has a large number of troops. On the other hand, Orb is now weak but has a certain foundation. And more importantly, if there is another Orb on his side, the alliance will be in trouble. and the fearful Xiao Ran.
The world is paying more attention to the final outcome of this battle. Orb's victory will give those countries, forces and regions that are actually unwilling to join the World Security Alliance the courage to resist. If it is a joint victory, then The entire earth has truly become a unified back garden, which is something most people don’t want to see.
Under a sea surface far away from Orb, the Archangel is also quietly moored on the seabed, and everyone on the Archangel has also learned about the current relationship between Orb and Orb through some intelligence and information. What happens to the union. Especially Cagalli, after she learned that Xiao Ran had returned to Orb two days after leaving Orb, took over all the rights of Orb, and then arrested all the Seran family and their members, she shouted angrily Looking at the bastard, he wanted to rush back to Orb and ask Xiao Ran why he wanted to arrest the people of the Seran family.
However, Cagalli's impulse was not supported by everyone on the Archangel, including Kira, and she was forced to stay on the Archangel.
Cagalli's approach in Orb was to compromise step by step for the sake of stability, while Xiao Ran's approach was to become stronger step by step for the sake of stability. The two had different concepts, so Cagalli couldn't understand why Xiao Ran would All members of the Seran family were captured, and almost two-thirds of the entire cabinet was emptied. Even some people in the military who were close to the Seran family were arrested.
According to Cagalli, Xiao Ran's actions would only lead Orb into chaos and the abyss. However, a few days later, Orb was not disturbed by Xiao Ran's actions. Instead, the whole team became more united. It was like a few slaps on Cagalli's face, making her feel both angry and embarrassed.
However, she was equally forceful in asking everyone to go back on the Archangel. She also knew that although Xiao Ran's strength stabilized the situation within Orb, he would also be feared by the United Nations and send troops to attack. As Orb's former She naturally has these visions as the leader. Sure enough, now they jointly attack Orb, but Orb will send troops to fight with force. The attitude of life or death also makes Cagalli extremely worried.
Not only was Cagalli worried, Kira also had countless doubts in her heart, why Xiao Ran didn't show up earlier and later, and had to choose to show up only when Cagalli left Orb. As for Xiao Ran's actions, Kira didn't. There will be no judgment, no matter what Xiao Ran decides to do, Kira will think that Xiao Ran has his own ideas.
Lux is wiser than both Kira and Cagalli. She has already seen from Malu, from Uncle Maxi in the maintenance team, and from the attitudes of several bridge members of the Archangel that Xiao Ran's return is clear. It was something they already knew, so the departure of the Archangel was also something Xiao Ran knew, but Lux cleverly concealed it and pretended not to know anything.
Like Kira, Lacus also couldn't figure out why Xiao Ran didn't show up at Orb in advance, nor did he stop the Archangel, but let them do what they did. From the Xiao Ran whom Lacus knew, he didn't understand. I also don't understand why the other party would do this, and why Xiao Ran would be sure that Cagalli would leave. But after Cagalli learned about Xiao Ran's series of actions and reactions after returning to Orb, Lux somewhat understood Xiao Ran's thoughts, that is, Cagalli was too impulsive and immature, not only unable to become Xiao Ran's return With help, it will become an obstacle to Xiao Ran's return.
So every time I see Cagalli, I want to run back to Orb impulsively and angrily, so I can only deal with it with a sigh. Lux could see clearly that since Xiao Ran chose to show up after Cagalli left, he wanted Cagalli to leave. Even if Cagalli returned to Orb at this time, more possibilities would still be given to Xiao Ran. Secretly placed under house arrest.
Lux even thought about what might happen if Cagalli really returned to Orb, had a conflict with Xiao Ran, released the members of the Seran family and a series of gang members, and then Orb would split, or Xiao Ran would just let go. Returning Orb to Cagalli, judging from Cagalli's ability, I am afraid that she will regress and join the World Security Alliance under the instigation and joint pressure of the Seran family.
On the other hand, there will definitely be people in the Orb army who choose to leave with Xiao Ran. Not only the army, but also the Shuguang Society, civilians, and even the cabinet who are willing to support Xiao Ran will follow. In the end, The result was Orb still split.
Lux can understand why Xiao Ran chose to return and show up after Cagalli left, but Xiao Ran's behavior at this time really made Lux a little confused. Xiao Ran was too strong, so strong that it was not suitable for Orb. With the current national conditions, when the coalition sent a fleet to attack, they did not choose to stay and defend, but took the initiative to fight in an almost provocative manner. Was it because they were too firm in Orb's ideals? Are you too confident in Orb's current strength
And even if he is forced to join the World Security Alliance, Xiao Ran can completely let Orb join the front line of the Alliance and the Zaft Army without sending a single soldier. At that time, even if the Alliance wants Orb to send troops, it will at least put pressure on him. It can buy more time to solve this problem.
In short, Xiao Ran chose to face this point. Lux also felt that she was too impulsive and anxious. Using fighting to prove that she was firm in her ideals, Lux supported it, but what she was worried about was whether Orb's current strength was It is really possible to fight against the alliance. After all, once this battle starts, there is absolutely no room for maneuver. If you fail, you will really have nothing.
Lux couldn't guess that Xiao Ran's thoughts were normal. The Xiao Ran she knew was not an impulsive person, but a person who acted after a certain time. Lux believed that Xiao Ran did this for a reason, but she didn't know this. What is the reason? The reason why Xiao Ran so forcefully refused to join the World Security Alliance from the beginning, and even challenged the alliance with a declaration of war, was also to pave the way for him to turn Orb into his own exclusive territory.
Cagalli's weakness and concessions also caused a lot of resentment within Orb, but Asha's inheritance made many people habitually support and obey. What Xiao Ran had to do was to completely show that he was completely different from Cagalli. The other side, soft internally and tough externally, should use this battle to boost Orb's morale, and use the victory of this battle to win more support.
Everyone in Orb must see the difference between his rule and Cagalli's rule, everyone must know the changes he has brought to Orb from the inside out after he came to power, and he must bring changes to Orb's people. From confidence and glory, let all Orb citizens live there without any worries, let them know that their army is invincible, and let the army know that only under his leadership can Orb be protected. Victory over and over again.
Therefore, Xiao Ran must win this battle, and he must win beautifully. Only when he wins without any pressure can Xiao Ran put forward his conditions to the alliance. Some of them may be difficult for the alliance to accept, but they can make Orb stand out in the world. The status is once again improved, and all restrictions and compensations are eliminated.
Just as Lux was guessing Xiao Ran's thoughts and subsequent actions, Kira's usually silent and gentle face showed a hint of helplessness and walked into her room.
"Cagalli knows that Orb is about to go to war with the United, and now she asks Captain Malu and the others to go back to Orb in the bridge, saying that she will stop the fleet and not let the teacher lead Orb into the abyss arbitrarily." Kira shook his head as he spoke, sighed and said, "No matter how much we try to persuade him, there is nothing we can do."
Lux smiled slightly, shook her head at Kira and stood up: "If Cagalli can't understand what he did, then why not give them a chance to have a conversation in person."
Kira was stunned for a moment, looked at Lux and said, "Do you also agree to go back now?"
"No." Lux shook her head and said: "There is no point in returning to Orb now. Even if Cagalli returns to Orb, no one will obey her orders at this time, let alone Xiao Ran. Haven't all of Cagalli's positions been cancelled? To Orb, Cagalli is just a better person than a commoner and cannot influence his will or Orb's actions."
Saying that, Lux also looked at Kira with a smile: "And don't you already have your own ideas? Go ahead and do what you think in your heart. Then maybe we will get all the answers." .”
"I know." Kira nodded, smiled softly at Lacus and then firmly turned around and left Lacus' room. After Kira left, Lacus also thought in her heart: "Why are you doing this? Well, what is your purpose? Cagalli has unknowingly become an obstacle to you, so you will let her leave? It seems that I also need to return to the universe to make some preparations."
Kira, who went to the bridge, said something to Malu. The general meaning was to support Cagalli's choice, but instead of going back to Orb, he went to the battlefield where Orb and the United were about to fight. With Kira With the support of Lux, Ma Liu could only sigh and agreed to their choice, but even in Ma Liu's own heart, she knew that if Cagalli and Kira really became Xiao Ran's obstacles, then this time Even if it passes, the final result may be that Archangel and Orb will become Xiao Ran's real 'enemies'.
