Chapter 189 Orb has its own national conditions!

Now at the center of the world's vortex, when the announcement issued by PLANT in the universe became known to the world.

Finally, many people in Aubrey could not sit still anymore. No doubt, the statement instructed by Patrick made people think a lot.

Did Orb reach some kind of agreement with the Adjuster in private?
Will Orb betray the entire Earth Sphere?

These are not impossible things that can happen. The world is just so magical.

Sometimes reality makes people feel more like they are in a dream than the fantasy in literary works.

"Father, is it really like what people outside say? Do you really want to stand on the side of the Adjuster?"

After hearing a lot of speculation from people around me over the past few days, Cagalli has become a little more mature now.

The nominal next Orb chief rushed into his father's office.

There is no way. It is difficult to change one's nature. Even after being educated by Wang Hu, she did make some progress.

But he could not resist the instigation of too many people with ulterior motives around him!

"Cagali."

Putting on his usual calm face, the current leader of Orb, Uzumaki, who is known as the Lion.

He helplessly looked at his daughter who was being used as a gun again.

"It's time for you to mature."

Although he was the only one who knew that the daughter in front of him was not actually his biological daughter.

But people can say that he was wrong in many ways, but they cannot say that Uzumi did not love Cagalli enough.

After all, if he hadn't doted on Cagalli enough, she wouldn't have developed such a personality.

"I understand, Father."

After Uzumi's reminder, Cagalli, wearing the uniform of the highest rank in Orb, suddenly woke up from her own gaffe.

However, after a polite apology, Cagalli returned to normal.

Who said there are no outsiders in my father’s office?
Those who can appear here at this time are all close confidants of the Asha family in Orb!

"Father, the news has spread everywhere now."

"That's why you tolerated the ZAFT army and remained indifferent even after they conquered Heliopolis."

"In fact, as early as that time, you had already been flirting with the Adjuster in private."

"Even now, the Earth Sphere is facing the threat of the Adjuster at any time, but it still refuses to contribute the Mass Accelerator."

"It is also to cooperate with the ZAFT army to put pressure on the countries in the Earth Sphere. They want to use this opportunity to borrow the power of the Adjusters."

"To realize your own ambition, you will not hesitate even if it means the destruction of all living things on Earth!"

Anxious, Cagalli began to question her father in front of many people.

Sighing silently, Uzumaki looked at his still immature daughter with gentle eyes.

Looking around at the people around him, he was thankful that none of his trusted confidants had any suspicion in their eyes.

After all, they are all from the original world line and will die with him in the future, so who cares about the huge number of diehard fans left behind him.

"What is Orb's philosophy?"

Uzmi asked with a calm face as if facing a catastrophe, and waited for his daughter's answer.

“We will not invade other countries, nor allow other countries to invade us, nor intervene in other countries’ disputes.”

No matter how ignorant Cagalli is, she is familiar with the nominal foundation of the country of Orb.

This is what her father says every day, so she understands it.

So I said it fluently without thinking too much.

"Yes." This time it was a relieved smile and Uzumi nodded.

"This world is being divided into two worlds, black and white, by the United Army and the ZAFT Army. Both sides are trying their best to win over various forces."

"Whether it's using force or tempting with benefits, it's all for their own hegemony."

"Therefore, at this time, Orb, as a responsible country, must think calmly about itself."

"Moving forward on the truly correct path, bringing a glimmer of hope to countless people in the world who are falling into darkness."

"Clap clap clap."

Before Cagalli could react, the others in the office had already started applauding enthusiastically.

If people who don't know the inside story see it, they would mistakenly think that the world is in dire straits.

And Orb, this tiny island nation in the ocean, is the light of mankind's future.

But if you think about it carefully, is Orb, ruled by the five major families, really as glamorous as Uzumi says?

The leader of a country is not just a nominal leader, but a leader who truly holds power.

They have always been born in a few families, and in recent years have become the exclusive property of the Asha family.

If you look at the essence through the surface, you can only laugh.

After the education, especially in the desert area, Wang Hu's questions to himself still linger in his ears.

Cagalli calmly raised the question in her mind. "Father, if we Orb are truly neutral."

"Then the collapse of Heliopolis would not have happened. The Aurora Society also has a mass accelerator for a country that is determined to remain neutral."

"That is a hidden worry that will cause trouble sooner or later."

"Huh?" Uzumi was greatly surprised by his daughter's question.

Therefore, the calmness on his face also changed a little. "Who told you this? Who instilled such an idea in you?"

For the first time, Uzumi's tone towards Cagalli was a little harsh.

And what about Cagalli?
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, she wanted to resolve her doubts with her father.

However, she did not expect that her father, who had always loved her so much, would react like this this time.

As a result, Cagalli, who was already impulsive by nature, also lost her temper.

"Isn't that right? In my opinion, the Kingdom of Scandinavia is the role model for small neutral countries."

"I have learned about Orb. The arms production capacity of the Aurora Society has exceeded the size of Orb."

"The resources for building the mass accelerator also come from the arms trade."

"Not to mention that you were also involved in the development of MS for the United Army at the time."

"What kind of neutrality is this? It's just a false peace!"

"Cagali!" Unable to sit still any longer, Uzumi stood up suddenly and looked at his beloved daughter.

I don't know whether it was Cagalli's words about a small neutral country or the false peace that indirectly denied his own achievements in governance.

Walking around the desk, Uzumi stood in front of Cagalli.

"Aub must be able to protect himself. This is necessary for Aub."

"necessary?"

Cagalli was mentally prepared to beat her father. After all, she had been beaten several times by Wang Hu.

I didn't expect that after I said such words, my father was so angry but still able to treat me calmly.

"Neutrality is not something you can just say. Only when you are strong enough can you be neutral."

"Otherwise, our borders could be breached at any time. Is neutrality that is obtained through charity from others really neutral?"

"Many small countries in the world are facing the oppression of big countries and are limited by their own strength and cannot resist."

"As a responsible major country, Orb must also lend a helping hand when it can."

"At least give them hope!"

"Is that so?" Cagalli's mind wasn't working very quickly, and what Uzumi said made sense.

It does fit Cagalli's logic. Yes, if I can't protect myself.

Others won't tolerate you just because you say you are neutral when they are determined to beat you up.

What is neutral? Can you eat it?
"Okay." Just when Uzumi was about to send Kagali out.

The door of this office was pushed open again, and other factions in Orb that did not belong to Uzmi's direct line walked in.

The leader among them is the Sailan family, the most powerful family outside of the five major clans in the Orb Kingdom.

Unat, the head of the Sailan family, was seen holding a document in his hand, his face full of anxiety.

"Representative Asha, this is the notice just issued by the Atlantic Federation."

As a pro-Atlantic Federation faction in Orb, Unard's acting skills are still online at this time.

It was obvious that the Atlantic Federation was the master behind him, but in front of Uzmi he acted as if he was loyal to Orb.

Taking the document handed over by the other party, the experienced Uzmi knew very well that the other party was acting.

But in his own heart, Orb is a force that can influence the world, but this is not the case in the eyes of the world.

In this case, Uzmi had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see it and quickly scanned the Atlantic Federation's stern final notice on the document.

Closing his eyes, the Orb lion fell into deep thought.

"Father?" Looking at her father's expression, Cagalli quickly snatched the document.

"How can this be possible?" Cagalli was stunned.

Because the Atlantic Federation's announcement clearly stated that if you are still confused about our position, don't blame us for being rude.

Even if East Asia doesn't take action, we, the Atlantic Federation, will make you adjust your stance!
"Father!" Even though Cagalli was a reckless person, she knew clearly the size of Orb.

There is almost no country with little strategic depth, except Orb, an island country in the ocean!
Once the Atlantic Federation really takes action, it will not only launch a few rounds of missiles into the sea.

Even if he wins in the end, Orb will be seriously injured!

what?
You said Orb has the power to protect himself?
Can it intercept all enemy attacks?

I'm afraid even a dog wouldn't believe this!
"Aub's ideals will not waver."

When Uzmi opened his eyes and said this, there might be an element of gambling in his mind.

Not to mention that in this world PLANT has announced its commitment to provide security for Orb.

Even if ZAFT didn't say such a thing in the original world line.

Uzmi made the same decision then as he does now, and it is hard to say that he did not take a gamble.

He just wanted to walk the tightrope between the United Forces and ZAFT. If he won, everyone would be happy, and he and Orb would gain unprecedented reputation.

As for losing?
Oub has his own national conditions. The worst that can happen is death. He can use his death to atone for his sins.

What could be a more manly way to take responsibility?

"Father!"

Cagalli, who is reckless but still has some brains, is not very satisfied.
