Durandal didn't know what he was thinking, and he also didn't know what Xiao Ran was planning. After hearing that Xiao Ran was willing to support him, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "That's great, I didn't expect that Orb would also notice this organization called logos, but what I just said seemed abrupt, and before I even asked, Master Xiao Ran offered to help plnat deal with logos. Now I can only represent The people of PNT would like to express their gratitude to you, but I believe that once we have some initial results in dealing with logos, the whole world will thank and respect Sir Xiao Ran as before."
"With the help of Orb and Sir, I believe we will be able to give Logos the punishment they deserve soon. Once Logos is completely destroyed, the peace we have long awaited will truly come to us. , whether it is an adjuster or a natural person, without the logos causing trouble, I believe they will be able to live peacefully and happily."
Xiao Ran kept smiling and nodded, looking like he agreed with Durandal's words: "As a neutral country, Orb is of course willing to see the world move towards peace, otherwise the world will fall into endless war. No matter how hard Bu sticks to his own ideas, he will be helplessly involved."
"No force is willing to watch a threatening country like Orb remain outside the war. Even if Orb really has no intention of participating, they will regard it as a threat and take the initiative to attack. But if the world is really peaceful, Then Orb will get the peace he hopes for. Regarding logos, Speaker Durandal, you can rest assured that although Orb is currently unable to provide much support due to its own problems, we will also provide support on this matter. Contribute your thoughts and actions to this world.”
Xiao Ran said and shook his head helplessly: "Speaker Durandal, you should also know that I have only taken over Orb for a short period of time. Whether it is internally or externally, the traitors of the Seran family are also Orb. There are many problems left, and coupled with the United Nations’ covetous eye on Orb, the support Orb can currently provide will not be much.”
"Internally, the unclear governance has led to complaints among the people. A lot of mess needs to be dealt with. There has been obvious negative growth in finance, military, construction and other aspects. In addition, the members headed by the Seran family are in deficit. National affairs have greatly affected Orb's current national strength. Externally, the United Party has been suppressing Orb for two years. The Dawn Society was forced to downsize and excellent technical personnel were forced to leave their homes. The army was also cut down and Orb was forced to leave their homes. Today’s military strength has reached its lowest level in two years, and the restrictions on supplies have almost stagnated Orb’s development in many aspects.”
"In terms of military strength alone, although the combined fleet over there was defeated in the battle not long ago, in fact, our country was also attacked at that time and suffered considerable losses. In the overseas battle, that fleet It can also be said that it is the only force that our country can use. If zaft hadn't contained most of the coalition's forces, the coalition would only send a fleet of less than two hundred warships to attack, instead of two fleets or three. As for the fleet, it is only a matter of time before Orb is completely defeated."
"Of course, the power that Orb currently has can barely support itself for the time being. Although Orb does not have any thoughts or plans to expand the battle, his military strength is limited, so Orb cannot provide much in dealing with logos. More troops to support Zaft. After all, the United side is still waiting for the opportunity to eliminate Orb, and we also need enough troops and manpower."
"But I can guarantee that Orb will send the best pilots to form a special operations force, and let this special operations force coordinate with Zaft's actions against logos. Although the number will be smaller, I believe this team will definitely It can be of great use when dealing with the logos organization. Of course, if there is an emergency, our country will supplement its manpower according to the situation. You can rest assured about this, Speaker Durandal."
Xiao Ran's words were not false in the slightest, and a series of Orb members who followed him showed expressions of self-blame and guilt. At the same time, there was also a hint of heaviness. Now, although Orb had been in the previous battle, They defeated the coalition forces, but overall they were still in a state of internal weakness.
When Durandal heard this, he also showed a surprised expression, and then his face gradually became serious. After Xiao Ran's words fell, he said with a complex expression: "I didn't expect that in just over a year, it would be so long." In two years, Orb has become like this, but now I am even more grateful to Orb and Mr. Xiao Ran. It is admirable that you are willing to support Zaft for the sake of world peace in such a difficult time. . ”
"Orb's pilots are all very good. I know very well that the number of them does not indicate their ability. Having the help of these excellent Orb pilots will definitely help a lot when dealing with logos." It's a big favor." Durandal praised Orb's pilot, and then said: "However, Orb's current situation seems to be a headache for Master Xiao Ran. If possible, I can provide Orb with services on behalf of plnat. A batch of enough supplies to help Orb get through this most difficult time."
As he spoke, Durandal gently spread his hands and smiled softly as if joking: "Of course, this does not mean that Orb's acceptance of these supplies is equivalent to forming an alliance with plnat. I know the philosophy Orb upholds. This is just A kind favor.”
"Haha." Xiao Ran chuckled. Durandal's words also made the Orb members who Xiao Ran started to feel a little excited. Now Orb is in short supply of everything. A batch of material assistance can indeed help Orb solve many problems. Big question, so everyone looked at Xiao Ran who just smiled.
But Xiao Ran shook his head, waved his hand and said: "I accept Speaker Durandal's wishes. I know what you mean, and accepting help does not mean shameful or betrayal. However, Orb's current situation is really a bit sensitive, no Knowing how many eyes in this world are staring at Orb, in this situation where I just opposed joining the World Security Alliance and defeated the United Fleet, it is actually a bit inappropriate for me to take the initiative to deal with logos with zaft, and it will definitely be triggered. A lot of people’s nerves.”
"But both Aub and I have a duty to deal with logos. There is no question of whether we simply support Zaft. It's just that we have common goals and expectations. If we accept material assistance from PNT, the impact on our country will be too great. , I am very grateful to Speaker Durandal for his willingness to help us, but sitting in this position, I have to think about it in the long term. I would rather this stage be more difficult and let the entire Orb go through this stage together, but it is really inconvenient to accept your offer. Good intentions, but I’m grateful for it.”
Xiao Ran said it very politely and refused the help that Durandal said he was willing to provide. But in fact, he was showing his attitude to Durandal. It was okay to deal with logos together, but don't think about Orb and Pnt. Zaft has more Many connections, my side is a neutral country, and yours is a war country. Although we have the same goal, logo or alliance, this does not mean that the enemy of the enemy is an ally. Normal friends can be, but do not treat them like Orb is involved in your war.
Although Xiao Ran didn't say this explicitly, no one present was a fool, especially Durandal. After listening to Xiao Ran's words, he smiled and nodded lightly. As for how Durandal understood Xiao Ran's words If so, then I don’t know what he is thinking.
According to Xiao Ran's idea, it is of course beneficial to agree with Durandal to deal with logos together, but he will not be more involved with Durandal, just to earn reputation, as long as he has such a resolute attitude in dealing with logos. Just fine.
But next, if Durandal carries out his destiny plan, even without Lux, Kira and the others, Xiao Ran will never allow them to jump out. After all, he regards Orb and even this world as his own private territory for the time being. How is that possible? If Durandal is allowed to mess around like this, it's okay to mess around, but the key thing that will affect his actions is that he must not do it, so there will inevitably be a battle between Orb and Zaft.
Durandal felt that he had the whole world in his calculations, but Xiao Ran also had the whole world in his calculations. He had already thought about when to jump out and confront Durandal, that is, when Durandal During the period after the logo was announced until the fate plan was announced, as long as Xiao Ran revealed that Durandal was the mastermind behind the fall of Junius 7, let alone people's hearts at that time, Durandal would probably also Become the enemy of countless people.
After the conversation ended, Xiao Ran, Durandal and their subordinates also expressed some opinions on the current world situation. Of course, Orb's side had to uphold a fair stance, so they spoke more restrained and objectively. Feel free to judge who is right and who is wrong.
After that, Xiao Ran also took Durandal to visit Orb. In short, he would not take Durandal to a truly confidential place. Then in order to show his sincerity in dealing with logos, Xiao Ran quickly The special team mentioned in the conversation began to be formed, a special team truly formed by elites, but the establishment of the entire team still required a certain amount of time, even if Xiao Ran was supervising the people below. time.
But even so, Durandal and the pnt delegation truly saw Orb's sincerity.
