Librarian and logos, these two mysterious organizations are not unfamiliar to everyone present. Librarian and they had contact during the battle two years ago, and they know more about the photocopiers. As for logos, this mysterious organization that has been hidden behind the world, this is not the first time they have heard of it. They also know that this logos is an alliance formed by some death merchants.
And Xiao Ran also made it very clear. Orb would not participate in the war between Zaft and the Alliance, but he would work with Zaft to deal with the organization Logos, but Logos controls the Alliance, which means that in some cases, Under this situation, Orb may also go to war with the Union because of logos, but it does deal with the current world war issues from a fundamental point of view. If logos is solved, the Union and Zaft will have no more reasons to fight, and the world will Naturally, there will be peace, which is consistent with Orb's philosophy.
But there are some things that Xiao Ran knows in his heart. Kira doesn't know, Lacus doesn't know, and Xiao Ran doesn't need to let them know these things. These words are enough. Can Lux and Kira understand that Xiao Ran actually doesn't know? I care too much. Anyway, even if I fight against the United and against logos, there will still be zaft standing in front of me as the leader.
What Xiao Ran needs to do now is to follow the main missions released by Prometheus and do his best to complete the three main missions and return to Prometheus, and then adjust his plan according to the situation. Anyway, as long as he can complete three When the mission returns to Prometheus, Orb will be able to get unconditional support from the other two worlds, and by then he will be able to deal with it calmly no matter what the situation is.
Even if he really experienced the entire plot of Gundam Color Ed-D, all the preparations Xiao Ran has made now, coupled with his understanding of the plot, can still give him an advantage in the subsequent plots, not to mention It can be said that the two pilots that Durandal valued most were both on his side. By that time, if Durandal really dared to make any move, then the person who would suffer would definitely not be Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran explained to everyone the purpose and attitude of himself and Orb, which was completely aimed at librarians and logos. As for his views on the current world situation, Xiao Ran also thought about it and said to everyone:
"Regarding the current situation in the world, on the surface, the entire world has been divided into three forces, the World Security Alliance headed by the Affinity Alliance, the resistance forces headed by the Zaft Army, and Orb, most of whom belong to institutions and effects, and with minimal contact with neutral forces.”
"Among the three forces, the most powerful one is of course the United side, which has the largest number of troops and logistical supplies and is the fastest. The Zaft side has higher combat capabilities, elite personnel and better combat equipment, so These two forces are evenly matched, and the neutral force headed by Orb is the worst among the three forces. It has the smallest number of people, the fewest resources, and the least logistical support. It basically does not have the ability to stand alone with any of the two major forces. The ability to fight to start a fight.”
"Under the influence of logos, the Union is eager to eliminate all the adjusters of PNT. It is also eyeing Orb. If it weren't for the power shown by Orb is strong enough, and because of the restraint of Zaft, the Union cannot mobilize. There are too many troops to surround Orb, and Orb himself is strong enough. I am afraid that Orb has been swallowed up by the Alliance and became their thug."
"Zaft, on the other hand, has shown a friendly attitude. It mainly focuses on wooing any forces. It has not shown too much ambition to the outside world. It currently does not pose any threat to Orb, so it is naturally more capable in comparison. Gain the favor of the neutral forces, and once Zaft is defeated, the next target of the alliance will definitely be Orb, so even for the stability of Orb, Orb will never allow Zaft to fail."
"As for us Orb, although we have no intention of participating in the war, nor do we have the ambition to take advantage of the war to occupy more territory, but if we want to maintain the peace of Orb, we must let Orb gain a truly powerful enough power. As a foreign deterrent, power can not only bring war, but also peace."
Having said this, Xiao Ran also shook his head: "But I have to say that the current situation of Orb has been so bad that it is terminally ill. There is internal chaos and chaos. Those who are pro-union, pro-Zaft, and those who uphold neutrality. A country can even have internal chaos within itself. How can we expect this country to develop and grow if we cannot unite our thoughts together."
"However, this situation has improved a lot after dealing with the Seran family. I can also tell you clearly that after I returned to power, I replaced all the people who could not agree with me. I can barely replace the current Orb After regrouping, at least half of the strategic reserves and materials that should have been stored in Orb have gone missing. This is because I did not include the strategic reserves that should have been stored in the warehouse in the past two years. After calculating the consumption of Shuguang Society to build Murasame As you come in and out, you can imagine how huge this batch of unaccounted strategic materials is, and until now, I have not found the whereabouts of this batch of materials."
After Xiao Ran's words fell, Kira, Andrew, Malu, and Lux all turned their heads to look at Cagalli who was also astonished. How could they not be shocked? According to what Xiao Ran meant, the original 100 strategic materials would be used every year. Even if the treasury is 20, the total number in the past two years should be 140. More than half of the strategic reserves are unaccounted for, and counting the consumption of mass-produced Murasame, which means that Orb's current strategic supplies are basically nil.
Everyone present knew very well what kind of situation Orb was in two years ago. Not to be exaggerated, United and PNT already compensated Orb with a huge amount of materials at that time. If it could develop normally until now, Orb’s overall strength would be It cannot surpass the Union, but at least it can be equal to PNT. You must know that the Dawn Society was completely preserved at that time. Although there were some changes in the middle that made the Dawn Society weak, Orb also stagnated or even became weak due to some reasons. But it wouldn't be enough to make Orb lack as much as Xiao Ran said.
"This is impossible!" Cagalli suddenly stood up and said loudly to Xiao Ran with a look of disbelief on her face: "This is absolutely impossible! Strategic materials have always been Orb's most important reserve, and they have been kept and never moved. How could this happen? You must have lied to me. I want to see it myself."
"Sit down!" Xiao Ran's face darkened, and he shouted coldly at Cagalli: "The truth is as I said, you will know later. If it weren't for the help of the waste recycler, I'm afraid Orb would be We can’t even build a hundred MSs, and at the same time, these supplies also need to take into account daily repair and maintenance, and the replacement of materials and parts. You can imagine how serious the situation is."
"What did you guarantee when I handed Orb to you? You know better than anyone what the condition of the Orb I handed over to you was. In two years, only two years, under your leadership you actually Orb turned into what he is now. He didn't calm down and think about his mistakes. He was always so impulsive and just did whatever he wanted. Do you know how much impact this incident will have on Orb if it is exposed? ! The country is not your toy, let alone a game that you can play, and it does not tolerate you doing whatever you want to do."
"I don't treat my country like a toy!" Cagalli gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Ran stubbornly and said, "Everything I did was for Orb, for Orb's peace and development. I don't believe it. , I don’t believe how it could become like this.”
"Shut up." Xiao Ran slammed the table hard, stared at Cajiali and said: "I didn't mean to blame you for this matter. I was also wrong in this matter. Maybe I chose to return the country to You are a mistake, but you are really not calm enough. You act completely out of passion and without regard to the consequences. I admit your feelings for this country, but I am also angry at your incompetence. From today on, you will give me Stay in Ashar’s mansion and you are not allowed to go anywhere.”
"If there are any troubles in this country again because of you, haven't you thought about the consequences that Orb will be in ruins! I will let people watch you and reflect on it at home."
Kira looked at Cagalli, who looked aggrieved and had tears in her eyes but persisted stubbornly under Xiao Ran's scolding. Then she looked at Xiao Ran, who had a cold and angry look on her face. She sighed slightly and then closed her eyes. He kept talking and did not participate in the anger of Xiao Ran and Cagalli, and Xiao Ran was telling the truth. If Orb is just strong on the outside and weak on the inside, then it is indeed a very serious problem. If it is really because of Cagalli again If this matter is exposed out of nowhere, then Orb's next situation can be predicted.
However, Lux walked up to Cagalli and hugged her gently. After feeling Lux's embrace, Cagalli suddenly fell to the ground, lying in Lux's arms and crying: " I don’t know, I really don’t know, I just want to protect Orb, I really don’t know that things will turn out like this.”
"I know, I know, Cagalli also wanted to protect this country, so she sacrificed so much." Lux patted Cagalli on the back and said softly, then turned to look at Xiao Ran, Said: "Master Xiao Ran, please calm down. Cagalli didn't mean it. After the master disappeared, the Seran family suddenly became stronger and many people in the cabinet restricted Cagalli's rights. I'm afraid there are some things. She really doesn’t know.”(.)
