"Oh my god, it's unbelievable. I originally thought that this time I played just for show so that the guys on the United side would retreat. I didn't expect that I actually won in the end. I never thought that I would win. And it was so easy to win.”
"Yes, there is a three-fold difference in strength. It took only such a small sacrifice and loss to defeat a fleet as large as the joint fleet. It is incredible to think about it. Compared with the gains after this battle, it is still In terms of victory, those sacrifices and losses are worth it."
"That's not because of adults. If adults are not here, even if the opponent's combat power is one to one with us, just a few Gundams will be enough for us. Have you noticed? Sir, it's just like this. He drove the black Justice Gundam and defeated all those menacing Gundams. Thinking about it now, I feel like I am in a dream. How could such a powerful machine be defeated so easily? "
"What does this mean? You haven't experienced the battle two years ago. At that time, I happened to participate in that battle on the Archangel. At that time, we only had a few battleships. The fleets of the United and Zaft added How terrifying it sounds, not only was he beaten to a pulp by us in the end, but it was at that time that the title of Orb Black Devil was called out by the people from the Alliance and Zaft."
"I know, I know. Your Excellency also led the team to destroy Zaft's Genesis, saved the earth, and became the hero of the world. The two sides did not dare to clamor to continue fighting. Under the supervision of our Orb, An armistice agreement was signed, and all kinds of compensation were not acceptable. At that time, Orb's soldiers were in great glory, and they would get the best treatment no matter where they went. How could it be like the past two years, when troops stationed abroad had no dignity at all? , I have to endure everything."
"Fortunately, I have you, sir. Otherwise, if it had been Ms. Cagalli and the group of dogs from the Seran family, Orb might have joined the World Security Alliance and started to follow the command of the alliance to fight against zaft. Orb Bu is a third force country that upholds the belief of peace when it was founded. How could it form an alliance with other forces to attack another force? I was thinking at the time, if Aub really joins that alliance, I might as well leave the army. In order to avoid doing something I don’t want to do, fortunately, the adults are back.”
"Let me tell you, my lord should not have given the power to Princess Cagalli in the first place. She did not have the ability to lead Orb at all. Orb, who was originally so powerful, would have turned into this in two years. If not for lord I still don’t know what will happen to Orb after I come back. Maybe it will be occupied just like two years ago. There are also rumors outside that there is no choice but to give up power, and it is the result of Princess Cagalli’s push behind the scenes. Princess Cagalli is the legitimate heir when she goes to bed, and your Excellency is just the acting Prime Minister."
"By the way, I don't know if you have heard that your Excellency was actually detained during the two years he disappeared. It seems that we, the people inside Orb, together with the people over there, took you away from Orb. When our troops arrived, we couldn't find any trace of you except for some bullet casings. If there were no traitors among us, how could you have been kidnapped so easily, and how could the people of the alliance have been kidnapped at all? Kidnapping an adult without even realizing it, huh, how could it be possible without some conspiracy in the middle."
"Is it Princess Cagalli? Princess Cagalli was in charge at that time."
"Who knows."
Xiao Ran walked to the door of the combat conference room and heard such a conversation. Judging from the voices, it was basically some young people talking. At this time, in addition to these young soldiers working in the combat conference room, , in fact, there were many older senior officers, but at this time, no one stood up to stop these young soldiers from saying words that seemed to be inciting emotions.
Xiao Ran also slowed down after hearing these conversations, but when he heard that someone actually involved Cagalli in the topic, a faint smile flashed across Xiao Ran's lips, and then He walked in slowly with a serious look on his face.
At this time, the entire combat conference room can be said to be quite busy. Even if some young people took a break just now to say something, it did not affect the work in the entire combat conference room. After seeing Xiao Ran walk in, , whether they were standing or sitting, they all straightened their bodies in the direction of Xiao Ran, and saluted Xiao Ran with the most sincere military salute.
If there was no Xiao Ran, then they should have joined the World Security Alliance by now. Without independence, they would have no rights. But now Xiao Ran has allowed Orb to maintain his original independence, and also led them to fight against enemies several times larger than theirs. Victory is now achieved.
Everyone's face was filled with sincerity, respect and admiration, and the entire combat conference room was also silent. They were expressing their recognition and respect to Xiao Ran in their own way.
Looking at the expression on someone's face, Xiao Ran just nodded and waved his hand, then sat directly on the main seat in the combat conference room: "The battle on the local side is still going on, everyone should seize the time to deal with the work at hand. , immediately sent a team to receive the surrendered coalition forces, and arranged for some warships to return first."
"yes."
A chorus of voices suddenly sounded throughout the entire combat conference room, and several senior officers were seated on Xiao Ran's left and right. Looking at these senior officers, Xiao Ran also picked up the documents in front of him and asked, "What is the latest news from the mainland?"
After Xiao Ran's question came up, an officer on the left quickly replied: "The latest news was sent three minutes ago. The local defense line has been completely stabilized, and it was successfully completed with the help of the Tianzhi Yuzhu supporting MS troops. Destroy the joint MS that enter the mainland. Two of the three large MS have been destroyed. It is estimated that all enemies can be completely wiped out in about thirty minutes."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. In fact, except for the three Destruction Gundams, the coalition did not arrange too many MS troops to cover the three Destruction Gundams. The overall number of airborne troops invested in Orb was actually not very large. Once After the Destruction Gundam, which is the real combat power, is defeated, the remaining ordinary MS will be easier to deal with.
"Has the situation stabilized? But we must also tell them that they must not relax their care at any time. The energy source of those large mobile suits may be nuclear energy. We must also avoid the possibility of self-destruction." Xiao Ran nodded at the officer next to him. One sentence, and then asked: "Have the people and the city been affected by this battle?"
"A small number of them suffered some losses due to the firepower of the enemy's large mobile missiles in the early stages of the battle. Reports of civilian casualties have been received, and there has been a certain amount of property damage."
"Well, the follow-up work must be handled well. Don't delay and solve it as soon as possible." Xiao Ran was not surprised that there were civilian casualties. After all, even large-scale places such as military ports and garrison bases were destroyed, more or less. It affected the civilians living around, but after confirming such a situation, Xiao Ran did not ask more in-depth, but changed the topic again: "What is the situation of the recovery troops over there?"
The recovery force is a few battleships left behind by the Alliance after the previous attack on the Orb fleet. They are responsible for receiving the prisoners of the Alliance side from the previous battle and salvaging the Black Assault and the True Red Holy Shield.
"All the mobile suits that surrendered have been received. The pilots have been imprisoned. The salvage team has basically found all the survivors. The black body has also been salvaged. It didn't take long to determine the specific location of the red body. It will take almost as long. It will take about half an hour to salvage it.”
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and said: "After the work over there is completed, let them return directly to Orb without having to meet with us. All the prisoners will be careful not to have any accidents."
"OK."
Next, Xiao Ran asked one question after another, such as the loss of the fleet in this battle, the loss of MS, the sacrifice of personnel, etc. After getting the answers, he also made detailed arrangements, just like that in the combat conference room As soon as he sat down, almost an hour passed. After arranging his work, Xiao Ran dragged his tired body back to his room.
Lying on the bed, I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside had turned into night. The mental energy consumed by this sleep was greatly replenished. At least the empty feeling in my brain after the battle was gone. , and Xiao Ran slept for several hours, and no one disturbed him during these few disappearing days, which also showed that the situation of the entire fleet and the situation in Orb's homeland was going well.
After waking up, Xiao Ran went to the combat conference room again and learned from the people inside that Orb's battle was over. All three Destruction Gundams had been defeated, and all the accompanying elite MS troops had also been defeated. The battle had begun. Rescue and inspection work in combat areas.
In addition to matters related to the battle, the PNT officially announced its recognition of Orb as a neutral country after the battle, while the United side has remained silent. In addition to PNT, some small previously neutral countries and forces that were paying attention to Orb also jumped out to declare their support for Orb and declared their intention to remain neutral.
At this time, because the alliance invested a lot of power in dealing with Orb, after losing so many new aircraft, ace aircraft, and a sea force that was several times more than a standard fleet, it finally ended in failure. I already had a huge headache, and I couldn't care less about dealing with the small countries that jumped out after Orb. (.)
