"After the Junius 7 incident, this black hand even controlled the entire coalition to wage war against PNT. It cruelly used dangerous nuclear bombs against PNT again, and caused countless tragedies throughout the world. It treated ordinary refugees as Carry out massacres for dangerous elements, and do not hesitate to provoke bigger wars for profit so that they can sell the war equipment they manufacture at will."
"Blue Cosmos, an organization that is disgusting and contemptible, was created by this black hand. The purpose is to infinitely stir up conflicts and wars between PNT and the earth, so that they can gain more benefits."
"And in the alliance, countless people have joined this behind-the-scenes organization, cooperating with this black hand to make all kinds of unreasonable actions again and again, wars, massacres, terrorist actions, from decades ago to now, everything The contradictions, conflicts and wars were all created by them. For the sake of profit, they did not hesitate to betray the interests of the people and the country, sacrificing the lives of innocent soldiers and the lives of more innocent people."
Speaking of this, Durandal's words also made everyone on Orb's side and everyone on the PNT side frown, especially the people on the PNT side who looked at their Speaker with surprised eyes.
Xiao Ran also made an incredibly surprised expression at this time, and then frowned.
Xiao Ran knew what Durandal was going to say. After talking nonsense for so long, he finally wanted to expose Logos, the organization that was behind the war. From Orb's current position, this kind of thing that set off the world The chaotic organization is fundamentally hostile to peaceful and neutral countries like Orb. Once it is truly exposed, it will be Orb's natural enemy.
Even if Orb might have known about an organization like Logos in the past, it would have been completely normal for them to just condemn or make no movement without knowing its specific composition. But if Durandal told everything today and gave specific details, Information, that is basically forcing Orb to make a choice here.
If Orb chooses to ignore or consider it, then Durandal will also announce it to the world, and it will be announced before Orb can react at all, but at that time Durandal will gain more reputation and Supporters, and if Durandal said a few more words in the middle and pointed out that Orb was indifferent, then Orb and Xiao Ran would also be greatly affected, and it would definitely be a negative impact.
And if Orb chooses to deal with Logos, then Orb and Zaft will stand on the same front to a certain extent. Even if they are not alliances, they still have a common enemy. Logos and the controlled coalition forces will not be affected by Dylan. Dahl used this as a gun point, but it also ripped Orb from his neutral position.
In the previous battle with the Union, Orb was passive, but once it recognizes the logo and Durandal, then this passivity will become active, turning Orb into a country that takes the initiative to start war, which is completely incompatible with this country's charter. If you violate it, you are likely to encounter opposition from the people of your country.
Of course, Durandal now does not dare to use Orb as a gunpoint. What he hopes is either to make Xiao Ran become a spurned side, or to turn Xiao Ran and Orb to his side.
Durandal knew this, and Xiao Ran also knew that, in addition to wanting to know about Orb's current situation, Durandal's official visit also wanted to tie Orb to the flames of war in the world. When an agreement is not reached, it is like putting a smoke bomb outside saying that Orb has anything to do with Zaft.
Although Xiao Ran's face was surprised at this time, he had to admire the old fox's skill in his heart. It was really beautiful. Compared with the dirty tricks over there, he was so much better. If it were the little girl Cagalli, , he was fooled into the car by Durandal in minutes, and maybe Orb would become the main force against the United and Logos.
But now that it was Xiao Ran, all of this would naturally be impossible to happen. Durandal also knew that Xiao Ran was definitely countless times more difficult to deal with than Cagalli, and even more difficult to deal with such a large alliance, so he hugged her from the beginning. It comes from the attitude that both parties are equal, and even if Zaft is allowed to use more force, Orb will be tied up.
According to the normal conversation that followed, someone should have asked what was going on with this gangster, but Xiao Ran kept frowning slightly and seemed not to be surprised after being surprised, while all the members of Orb's side looked at him. Xiao Ran had no intention of speaking beyond Xiao Ran. In fact, from this point of view, we can also see the degree of unity of Orb and the strength of Xiao Ran's control over Orb.
Even Durandal was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran, who had only been back for a short time, could get such support from the Orb cabinet and military officers. If the Orb government is like this, what about the people? what's the situation. However, he looked at Xiao Ran without any change of expression on his face, preparing to continue talking if Xiao Ran didn't speak.
However, Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at Durandal: "The person behind the scenes mentioned by Speaker Durandal has actually been heard by Orb for a long time. What's more, the incident of the World Security Alliance that made a big fuss before, Cagalli I have mentioned the organization’s logo. After all, as national managers, we are not as ignorant as civilians and ordinary middle- and low-level personnel.”
"But in fact, although Cagalli doesn't understand it, our Orb already knew what the black hand you mentioned, Speaker Durandal, was two years ago. But at that time, Orb was already in dire straits, so it's not The real mastermind at that time, the Merchant of Death organization called logos, was powerless to interfere."
"However, after the last war, Orb also contributed a lot to world peace. Logos was also greatly affected by this and its power was greatly reduced. Moreover, this organization also belongs to a commercial alliance system rather than The rules apply to the elimination by force, but whether it is the Union, PNT, Orb or even all the countries and forces in the world have more or less dealings with logos, the only difference is that logos has a deeper impact on the union. Under such circumstances, all Orb can do is use normal means to control the development of logos."
"After all, one of the concepts Orb insists on is not to interfere with other countries, so in our opinion, the effect of this kind of restraint is not very great. Logos would have had little room for survival after the last war. will become very small, but in fact now, the whole world is full of conspiracy of logos, and logos have developed again, but why the world has become like this, actually I am also very confused, but I think this should not be Orb’s problem, after all, Orb has done everything he can.”
"There is no smoke without fire. How did Logos seize the opportunity to develop again? At least from this point of view, both the United and Zaft have certain responsibilities. Your arms race has helped the development of Logos to a certain extent. As for Orb, these two I believe Speaker Durandal should know better than me what Orb has been like in recent years."
"But Speaker Durandal has already said this, so I think the reason why you came here in person is not just to talk about the logos with me and remind me that Orb is still in danger." Xiao Ran looked at Durandal. , said calmly: "Then Speaker Durandal came here this time, and he probably hopes that Orb can give Zaft some support in dealing with logos. I can agree to this in advance. After all, as a neutral country, and it has received more A joint attack, and I have also said before that I will cause trouble for anyone who dares to start a war, so Logos and Orb are indeed in a state of hatred and hostility, and I have no objection to eradicating this kind of thing."
Durandal kept listening carefully, remembering every word of Xiao Ran's words. At the same time, he kept nodding and objectively expressed his agreement with Xiao Ran's words. After Xiao Ran offered to handle it at zaft, He gave a certain amount of support when making the logo, which also made Durandal smile slightly and feel a little relieved.
Although one of Durandal's purposes for coming to Orb has been achieved, Xiao Ran directly made a promise without wasting time or words. However, this promise is not that Durandal uses his righteousness to benefit the world. He invited Orb to join in with the idea of peace and eradicating cancer. Of course, Durandal could only think that asking Orb to deal with logos together could only be an invitation and not a request.
There is a gap between a request and an invitation. Both Xiao Ran and Durandal know the difference. In order to let Durandal go on the original path, Xiao Ran was originally unwilling to get involved in this matter, but Durandal It was clear that he wanted to tie Orb to his chariot, so Xiao Ran simply took the initiative to cooperate to get more benefits for himself and Orb. This kind of benefit was invisible, even as long as it did not cause any negative impact on Orb. It's just good.
Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Ran to just follow Durandal and let Orb tie up his chariot. It can be used to deal with logos. If Orb uses his strength in it, he can gain fame and honor, especially since Xiao Ran also has Yes, this does not go against Xiao Ran's ultimate goal.
But it is impossible for Orb to deal with the Union, and it is even less possible for Orb and Zaft to form a joint force to deal with Logos, so as to become more comprehensive and hostile to the Union. In the end, Durandal used it to trap Orb. A real maelstrom of war.
Therefore, even if we agree with Durandal to deal with Logos together, we still need to use some method to allow Orb to earn enough benefits without letting Orb fall into the vortex of war, and to prevent lgoso and the United from putting the target of hatred on their side. , and at the same time, Durandal can't say anything bad.
