Cagalli squeezed her hands tightly and looked at Cagalli on the communication screen with tearful eyes: "But this will not make Orb the same as before, make Orb's citizens displaced, make everyone sacrifice, let everyone Sacrifice, look at what the fight two years ago was for now, aren’t all our efforts in vain?”
After hearing Cagalli's words, Kira also fell into silence. The world has changed too much now, and it's so weird that people can't understand the direction. It's like there is a black hand controlling everything behind, pushing the alliance and Zaft. War, and Xiao Ran's appearance was too coincidental, as if he had been prepared for it a long time ago. Even though Kira believed that Xiao Ran would not be the mastermind behind the war, Kira still couldn't figure out why Xiao Ran left Cagalli. He only appeared later and took over Orb with force, and then went to war with the United.
The enemy of the Union is Zaft, and Orb's war against the Union does this have anything to do with Zaft and PNT, especially when it comes to the assassination of Lux. Although Kira does not want to think about things so complicated, but The fact made him have to think more.
At this moment, Lacus appeared in the communication screen between the two. At this time, Lacus was sitting in the cic seat of the bridge, with headphones in her ears. She first smiled at the two of them, and then said: " No matter what, in the current chaos of the world, whether it is your choice or his choice, there is no way for Ouban to stay outside the chaos of the world and fight for his own sovereignty and be forced to fight because of concessions. Although the process Same, but Cagalli, one is faith. Even if you die in battle, you are sacrificing for faith. It is for protection rather than aggression and destruction. What is the other one for? It is one without any meaning, just for unity. In the battle for dominance and interests, Orb will become a tool completely controlled by the alliance. I must also admit that your step-by-step retreat in the past two years is indeed wrong."
"Your concession made the Union and PNT see an opportunity and began to impose various restrictions on Orb. The Dawn Society was forced to cut back, and the technical support that the Dawn Society could provide to Orb disappeared. The army was forced to cut back, and the defense The strength has also been suppressed, and precisely because of this, Orb has become less and less able to resist in the face of the alliance. If he encounters a little pressure or a little threat, Orb will continue to give in. If one day the alliance allows Orb to lift Your rights have been merged into the union as a whole, so what will you do? Continue to give in or resist?"
"What that gentleman is doing now is just to trigger these possible problems in advance. If you want Orb to maintain its current status as a neutral third force, sooner or later, you will fight to ensure this status, not with peace. To unite is to unite with zaft. We don’t want to fight, we just want peace, but we are not afraid of fighting, that’s because we want to protect peace.”
"If you think what he's doing is wrong, then why don't you tell him personally what you think. If you don't understand his purpose, why don't you personally listen to his thoughts."
Cagalli has been listening to what Lux said, and as Lux's words gradually began to waver in her heart, was she wrong? Was it because of her incompetence and choice that Orb became like this? Cagalli was a little confused, but her heart told her that there was nothing wrong with what she did. She made various choices for protection. Orb's strength has made both the Union and PNT afraid. If they continue to be strong, then Sooner or later, Orb will fall into the whirlpool of war again. Orb is a peaceful and harmless country and should not be feared by other countries.
And for the sake of Orb's stability, there is nothing wrong with choosing to sacrifice herself to marry the Seran family. She does it for Orb. As the leader of Orb, she can only sacrifice herself in exchange for Orb's stability. Orb's situation is complicated, and with the pressure from the alliance, she chose to marry the Seran family after careful consideration. It is precisely in the hope that the Seran family can contribute more to her and Orb, and this kind of marriage Kajia Li puts herself in the position of a political bargain, and if she wants to get it, she must pay.
But for Xiao Ran, Cagalli's mood was complicated. She was a little resentful as to why Xiao Ran didn't show up earlier. If Xiao Ran had showed up earlier, then maybe none of this would have happened. She and Xiao Ran could work together to stabilize and develop Orb. Even more prosperous, she hated why Xiao Ran showed up after she had left Orb, and arrested the Sailan family and a large group of powerful people in Orb, but she was surprised that the turmoil she thought would happen did not happen at all. No one appeared, and the entire Orb united to show a vigor and vitality that had never appeared when she was in power.
For Xiao Ran, Cagalli is also grateful. She is grateful that Xiao Ran has paid so much for Orb and is still paying for Orb today. She is grateful that Xiao Ran did not hesitate to hand over all his rights when Orb was stable. To her, thank Xiao Ran for standing up during the most difficult time for Orb and re-establishing an Orb that was stronger than before.
But Cagalli also felt guilty. She felt guilty that she didn't take Xiao Ran's safety to heart after Xiao Ran handed over his rights to her. She thought that someone as powerful as Xiao Ran would not be able to hold him back, but in the end, Xiao Ran disappeared inexplicably. , except for some traces of the appearance of small teams and gun battles left at the scene, there was no clue at all. She felt guilty that Xiao Ran had entrusted the powerful Orb to her, but in the end it was because of her that Orb fell into a trough.
Cagalli's complicated mood actually made her dare not really face Xiao Ran at all. She was afraid that Xiao Ran would blame her, that Xiao Ran would be dismissive of her, and that she was also afraid that Xiao Ran would not accept her idea and continue to join forces. Although Zhan Zhan has been clamoring to meet Xiao Ran, she has never really mustered up the courage to meet. She has been rejected time and time again, and she has proposed this idea again and again, but it is also based on her impulsiveness and stubbornness. Ra's approval gave her courage, and Lux's words made her ready to put her courage into practice.
"Kira, let's go and see him. I want to know his thoughts and purposes, and I want to tell him my thoughts personally." Cagalli took a deep breath and raised her head. His expression was firmer than ever: "I want to tell him that Orb can never fall into war again and cannot afford to fail."
"Yes." Kira nodded. He was also looking forward to meeting Xiao Ran. He also wanted to know where Xiao Ran had been and what he had experienced in the two years since he disappeared. He also wanted to know. What path does Xiao Ran want to take Aub on
The Freedom Gundam and Yanhong Assault ejected from the launch ports on both sides at the same time after the Archangel surfaced, and began to fly quickly in the direction of Orb's fleet.
Xiao Ran has also returned to the Main Angel at this time. Except that Xiao Ran lost two physical daggers and two beam rifles while driving, the Midnight Gundam can be said to be intact, but due to two knee strikes and the Crimson Forbidden Belt falling from the sky The strong pressure came, and the Midnight Gundam had to be handled and inspected by maintenance personnel.
When Xiao Ran left the Main Angel in the Midnight Gundam, the accompanying units included the Dawn Gundam, the Savior Gundam, the Abyss Gundam, the Chaos Gundam, and the Δ Gundam. But when he returned, there was an extra gray-black one, and it was not originally A machine belonging to the Archangel.
This machine body was brought all the way back from the sea by the Abyss Gundam. When this machine body was thrown by the Abyss Gundam on the wide ground in Gnakuli, a group of heavily armed soldiers ran directly to the cockpit, and the driver At this time, except for the circular opening that was melted out, everything in the cockpit could not be seen as it was before. There was no place where the soldiers' efforts were needed.
When Symonds made a preliminary inspection of the aircraft body, she couldn't help but feel shocked. Of course she could see that the cockpit was made by the beam saber, but it was extremely accurate and only destroyed the canopy and interior of the cockpit, but not the cockpit. It penetrates deeper and affects more of the body. If the cockpit, the damaged chest, and the shoulders are repaired, once the repairs are completed in these three places, then the body can be restored directly without much processing at all. She entered the battle, and when she learned that this machine was actually a nuclear furnace, she was extremely surprised and shocked by Xiao Ran's terrifying judgment and control abilities.
This machine was the Crimson Forbidden that Xiao Ran had broken. In fact, Xiao Ran had not thought about taking those three machines back to the Lord Angel after destroying them at first. However, during the battle, things developed like this, and it gave Xiao Ran the perfect Given the opportunity to defeat it and minimize the damage, Xiao Ran would naturally not refuse to bring this machine back.
In fact, Xiao Ran is very interested in the Crimson Forbidden and other three machines. Bringing them back can also enhance Orb's power, and at the same time, he can understand the current technical strength of the United. Moreover, Xiao Ran also has a unique understanding of the Forbidden machine in particular. His feelings, getting the beam energy deflection armor helped him a lot. Naturally, he also hopes that Orb can obtain this technology and eventually let him get it.
After Xiao Ran got off the machine, he walked to Simmonds' side. Simmonds also looked at Xiao Ran with a surprised look, and then said: "I have obtained the actual combat data of Midnight Gundam. I didn't expect you, sir, can do it." I want to bring out the combat power of the Midnight Gundam to that level, and through this battle, I also discovered some areas where the current Midnight Gundam is lacking." (.)
