Chapter 41: Orb's Three Birds with One Stone
"You really do know everything. Come on, come on, tell me, tell me!"
He didn't notice at all that his reputation in Wang Hu's eyes had been lowered again.
Grabbing Wang Hu's arm, Kagali asked impatiently.
"I don't know anything!"
"Uh."
Staring at the other person's flushed face, the longing eyes, and the mouth painted with moist lipstick.
In addition, the opponent's current posture was almost completely pressing on him, and Wang Hu scratched his face.
"Can you please come down first? Otherwise it would be terrible if the waiter comes in."
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wang Hu signaled the other party to calm down.
"Ah?" After Wang Hu's reminder, Cagalli seemed to realize that her outfit today looked really bad.
No matter how she looks like a tomboy in her daily life, she is still a girl at heart.
As if she had been electrocuted, Cagalli sat back in her seat, her red face drooping.
"What were you originally planning to do here?"
Pulling his collar to get some fresh air, inadvertently revealing his attractive collarbone which was not inferior to Li Ming, Wang Hu asked deliberately.
"There's a professor who I've met before, and he's also a very good mechanical engineering expert."
"If Dad wants to help the Allied Forces build the Gundam, that professor will definitely be involved."
Hearing Wang Hu's question, Kagali raised her little head, and then she saw an attractive scene.
With a whoosh, she quickly lowered her head again and answered sullenly.
At the same time, when she answered, her mind was full of the stunning glimpse she had just had.
"Really? That's okay."
Nodding, Wang Hu was unaware of the girl's wild thoughts.
Knocking on the table, Wang Hu motioned for Kagali to take a good look at the pattern she had drawn.
"Did you see anything?"
With a little inspiration, Wang Hu asked expectantly.
"No?" With Wang Hu's collarbone still in her mind, Kagali's brain was like a rusty gear and couldn't move.
"Alas." Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Hu supported his chin with one hand and turned his head to look at Cagalli.
"What...what are you doing!"
Cagalli was originally looking at the power map drawn by Wang Hu, but ended up hearing the other party sigh.
She turned her head and saw a picturesque scene. She stammered and held her breath, not wanting to lose her pride.
"The combined forces include East Asia where I am, the Atlantic Federation, which was the strongest in the original gravity circle, and Eurasia, which seems to have declined but actually has a strong foundation."
With a seductive curve at the corner of his mouth, Wang Hu's eyes fell on Kagali's face that was like a red apple.
"Which of the above can Orb compare to? Population, resources, technology."
"What does the United Army lack that Orb has?"
"伱!"
Speaking of the issue of Orb, Wang Hu seemed to look down on Orb very much.
Cagalli began to protect her child.
"Don't look down on Orb! We also have a space launch site! And we have the Aurora Society that is just as good as yours!"
"Finally I'm smart for once."
Wang Hu smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Heliopolis is in the universe, and this can be said to be the home ground of the coordinator."
"is it safe?"
"Safe?" Cagalli was completely caught up in Wang Hu's rhythm.
"We are a neutral country, how could the ZAFT attack us!"
"A neutral country that manufactures weapons for the Coordinator's enemy, the Combined Forces?"
Staring at Cagalli dimly, Wang Hu smiled mockingly.
"I……"
Facing Wang Hu's question, Cagalli was speechless for a moment, and then quickly brought the question back to the original point. "It was you, the United Army, who forced me to do this. If you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have made a killing weapon for you!"
"First of all, I want to make it clear that Shuguang Society is an arms company."
He changed his pose, crossed his hands and supported his chin, posing in the classic commander's style.
Wang Hu stared at the indignant Kagali and said.
"The size of Orb is limited. Don't tell me that the profits of the Aurora Society can support your country to build a space launch site."
"Can your country alone digest such a huge amount of arms?"
"this?"
Cagalli had never really considered this issue, but the profits of the Aurora Society plus the funding from Orb were indeed the source of funds for building the launch site...
"Weapons are bought to be used. If you just look at them, the profit will be limited, right?"
Staring at Cagalli whose blush had faded, Wang Hu asked.
"Me!" Looking at Wang Hu's unusually deep eyes, Cagalli was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.
If arms are to be used, doesn't that mean Orb has been in the business of killing people?
We always talk about neutrality, but we should cherish every life.
But secretly they are doing the business of taking advantage of others’ misfortune!
"vomit……"
An uncontrollable feeling surged from her stomach to her throat. Cagalli covered her mouth with both hands and tried her best not to vomit.
"The United Army is fully capable of manufacturing a Gundam, and we are entrusting Orb with the manufacturing of the Gundam."
"We have also provided a considerable amount of technology. Do you think Orb will learn and use this technology when manufacturing it?"
Without giving Cagalli time to calm down, Wang Hu continued to state a fact.
That is, it is completely unreasonable and unprofitable for the United Army to entrust Orb.
Who would hand over their treasured treasures to an outsider who is not an ally, and who can also learn and absorb your family's unique technology?
What kind of behavior is this?
Aiding the enemy!
"You're trying to win over my father!"
Seeing Wang Hu madly throwing dirty water on Orb, Cagalli tried her best to refute him.
"You won't mention that we threatened your father?"
Wang Hu was quite relieved to see that the girl finally stopped saying such naive words.
I won’t say any more. Of course, what Cagalli said will just rot in my stomach.
She was absolutely certain that she would never say it.
After Wang Hu's education, the girl also realized the mud behind Aub's glamour.
In her opinion, her father was probably blinded by greed and wanted to obtain the technology of the coalition forces, so he agreed to it.
"Let's take a look here next."
Wang Hu nodded and signaled Kagali to use her brain.
"What's going on here?" The confused girl stared at Wang Hu blankly and asked.
"Let's not talk about why the United Army would cooperate with Orb to develop weapons. Let's just assume that the decision makers are crazy."
Wang Hu expressed his analysis.
"The Aurora Company and the Space Launch Center are very valuable to the Allied Forces, but they commissioned Orb to build the Gundam, and Orb also agreed to the commission from the Allied Forces."
"In reality, Orb took the benefits, but did not show any intention to join the coalition forces, nor did he express support for the coalition forces."
"This made the upper echelons very unhappy. Orb built the Gundam in space, but this is the home of Zaft!"
"It's for confidentiality."
Kagali quickly interrupted Wang Hu's words and sensitively guessed what he would say next.
I absolutely don't want to hear it!
But if the girl doesn’t want to listen, will Wang Hu not tell her?
impossible!
"Isn't Orb itself confidential enough?"
Wang Hu narrowed his eyes as he bet against Kagali's explanation with just one sentence.
"Faced with the real pressure from the coalition forces, the lion of Orb has probably decided to betray his own people."
"Put the Gundam in space, and notify the ZAFTS to come and grab it after it's built. In the meantime, pretend you don't know about it and watch the coordinator take away the secrets of the Allied Forces."
"This way, we can explain to the United Army what we are doing and sell the coordinator well."
"It would be best to make it look like Orb suffered heavy losses to silence the coalition forces."
"Killing three birds with one stone. Congratulations!"
