Chapter 51: The Old Man's Beating (Part II)
Orb, Asgha House Study.
Asghar complimented Yura on her recent performance, and then began to talk about her own life experience, Yura looked humbly taught, and he heard the other party's words and beatings.
Seeing that Yura was not very attentive, Uzmi had to directly provoke the conversation, "Yura, what do you think of the Sahak family?" I'm sure you should also know the power that this family has in Orb, although this family has been doing its best to protect Orb since the beginning of the country. β
Uzmi paused and said; "But you should also be the ones who are not willing to do it, the so-called leader is just a spokesman who is pushed to the front by the forces behind him. When the interests of Orb and the Sahak family conflict, what choice will they make? β
"Someday." Uzmi stood up and looked at her daughter in the garden outside through the floor-to-ceiling window behind her, "Cagalli will take over the country from me, and I'm a little worried about whether she will be able to manage the family well and continue to play for Orb." β
Yura knew that it was time for him to take a stand, so he stood up and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Lord Uzmi, since I am fortunate enough to be favored by Cagalli in this life, I will do everything I can to protect her and assist her." β
Then Jura said; "Of course, these days, I know that I am a little too close to the Sahak family, and it is only natural that you are worried. But it's also to be able to push forward with my construction project, and you know the huge amount of money and the amount of money and power that goes into building these things, so I chose to give that information to Sahak's family, all so that I can start construction as soon as possible. β
Listening to Yura's explanation, Uzmi couldn't be completely relieved, "But if you give it to us, you can still pass it, but it will take a little more time." β
"All I'm looking for is time." Jura explained.
"What are you anxious about?" Uzmi asked with some puzzlement: "At your age, this achievement is dazzling enough. β
This is something that Yura can't explain directly in words, he can't tell him that in a few years the adjusters and natural people will go to war, and then Orb will be attacked by the Atlantic Federation that loses the red eye, and you will self-blow up the mass accelerator, and then Cagalli will go into exile in the universe, right?
He gathered his thoughts for a moment, then said, "I beg your pardon, Lord Uzmi. I'm not anxious about how quickly I'll gain power, I'm trying to get it for Orb. β
"Orb?" Uzmi didn't expect to hear this from Yura's mouth, and he reached out and motioned for Yura to continue.
"Yes, for Orb." Jura began to restate some of her opinions, "I believe you also know that the main contradiction in the world today comes from the oppression of the adjusters by natural man. β
"With this oppression, the adjusters on Earth began to immigrate to PLANT, and then the establishment of the PLANT Council and the military organization ZFTL, it can be said that the adjusters in the universe have the ability to establish their own countries."
"But the oppression on the planet continues, with greedy councillors squeezing PLANT economically, and organizations like the blue cosmos destroying them physically. On the other hand, the theory of racial superiority spreads among the adjusters, who believe that they are the new human beings who represent the direction of human evolution, and are generally superior to the natural man. β
"The contradictions between the two sides are becoming more and more irreconcilable, and one day war will inevitably break out. And Orb, who implements the national policy of equal treatment of adjusters, will inevitably be attacked by those countries who covet the Dawning Society and the Quality Accelerator. This is my superficial view of the current state of the world and the future of Orb, but this caution has always lingered in my mind. β
"In order to protect Cagalli and the country, I think we need to be stronger." Jura concluded, "So I think it's more reasonable to give priority to wooing Sahak than to suppress Sahak's power, and that's why I've befriended Sahak's siblings, and I hope to get your understanding on this point." β
He didn't say anything more, after the war, the adjusters and natural people would be in a strategic stalemate to everyone's surprise. For now, the disparity in power between the two sides is too wide, and that would make their statements less credible.
And the reason why Orb was attacked is indeed the above things, the key is how the situation develops, but Orb has enough things to arouse the covetousness of the robbers, and his own strength is too weak for these robbers.
"I didn't expect you to think about it so much." Uzmi was a little shocked by Yura's vision, "You make me feel more and more that choosing you to be Cagalli's fiancΓ© was the right decision. β
"But don't worry too much." Uzmi continued: "We old guys are not eating in the corpse position, and we will not make Orb the target of attack so easily. β
After a pause, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the young man in front of him too much, Uzmi patted Yura's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "But some of your predictions are similar to what we old guys judged in private exchanges. β
He thought that Yura's worries were not unfounded, but he was still a little immature, and he really didn't make such a choice out of selfishness, so the dissatisfaction in his heart had gradually subsided.
And he didn't do anything wrong, after all, those things were made and belonged to Orb.
Most importantly, he was convinced that Jura really had his stupid daughter in mind, and not just as a tool to gain power.
When Yura was talking about what to protect, she subconsciously put Cagalli in the first place, and at that time, the young man's expression in front of her was excited and serious, and what she said was completely subconscious, and at this point, Uzmi was absolutely confident that she would not be mistaken.
If so, that's enough.
"You don't have to be too nervous, I don't mean to blame you. I just hope that if you have any ideas in the future, you can communicate with me first, after all, we will become a family in the future. Uzmi put his arm around Yura's shoulders, even in private, this is already a very intimate gesture for the leader of a country, which is enough to show how much he values Yura.
"Yes, I'm confused this time." Yura bowed her head and admitted her mistake, it was too early to say anything, as long as this time the incident served her purpose and did not lose Uzmi's trust.
"It's not confusing, it's right to befriend that pair of siblings. Although they are a little conceited, they have always had their hearts set on Orb. Uzmi let go of Yura and sat back in her place, "Alright, that's all for business." β
Uzmi then mentions Cagalli's birthday, "It's Cagalli's birthday soon, and it seems like she's looking forward to your present." β
"Yes, I will definitely prepare a gift for her to satisfy."

After some homely chat, Yura left the residence of the leader of the Orb state after having dinner with the father and daughter of Ashar and her father, Unat.
