When you can't hear God's whisper, you're part of the world.

"Unlike Orb, Zeon actually survived under the shadow of the federal government because Zeon has a special purpose, but it is important to remember that it is definitely not possible for Orb to play that role."

Harman. Karn dragged his still somewhat frail body to sit at Cagalli. Ulla. On the other side of Asgha said.

"Is it a special role? . . . Cagalli's hands were clasped together.

"The hope of the inhabitants of the universe, or the breaking point of pressure, I wonder if Representative Asghar has studied European history, or how much do you know about Friedrich the Great?" Harman smiled and raised his hand, drawing a question mark in the air.

"Know."

"During the reign of Friedrich the Great, there was no *, no restriction on the speech of the people, so no matter how aggressive Prussia was under his rule, no one went to rebel against him on a large scale, Zeon has always been in such a position," Harman withdrew his hand, and continued with some self-deprecation and sadness, "With the existence of Zeon, the inhabitants of the universe will never really riot, and Zeon that exists for the benefit of the inhabitants of the universe has actually become the royal painkiller of the federal government later, but it is precisely because of this, Zeon survived without dying under complete encirclement, and I think if the Federation wanted to destroy Zeon, they could do it... ”

"Clever Psychological Manipulation 。。。。。" Cagalli started talking.

"And the brutal political game," Harman continued, "but even so, Zeon survived, some for personal ambitions, but also for the sake of one day escaping the Commonwealth, even if it seemed like an impossible task." ”

"But Orb is really 。。。。。。。 Alas! Cagalli sighed heavily.

"Orbuke is still on the soil of the earth, in the backyard of the Federation, and there are some technologies that the federal government absolutely envies, a strong army, and most importantly, a heart of a country that has gone through ups and downs but has not dispersed, the Federation will not allow it for too long, Orb is not an object of unhappiness, but it is indeed a big cake with benefits and no harm," Haman took a sip of tea, "The god Haumea may be able to protect the broken hearts of the people of Orb in the next beacon fire, but it can't protect the land of Orb." ”

"Resistance?" The word Cagalli is almost squeezed out.

Haman shrugged.

"Karn is really, how to say, eloquent," Cagalli's face suddenly swept away, "but after all, as disrespectful as it is, if Arlando hadn't acted like that, and hadn't been photographed by the Blue Cosmos... ”

"If he hadn't acted, I would have been in a box by now, no matter how big or small, of course, we and I certainly didn't plan to pursue the internal problems of Orb." Harman gently padd his little finger and gracefully lowered the teacup.

"If you make good use of it, it's also an opportunity, it's just 。。。。。。" Cagalli closed her eyes again in agony.

"The people of Orb enjoy equal treatment, or a national attitude in which no one has colored glasses, and it is always worth paying for it, and we can do our best in retreating; If the country is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, and as long as the soul of the country becomes stronger and tougher, there will be a day you are looking forward to. ”

"O people of Orb。。。。。。。。。" Blood oozed from Cagalli's clenched fists.

"Take the country into your hands completely, otherwise the recurrence of the tragedy will only be meaningless."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaving Cagalli in pain and Chisaka and Aslan to comfort her, Harman leaves the room where the meeting was in the executive government.

"The horrible look, I can feel it, things don't seem to be going well." A male voice that didn't seem to have enough air came from around the corner, and Haman's face immediately improved.

"The little girl has made up her mind that it will take some time, but it's on your side, how is it, are you tired?" Harman walked over and put his hand on the wheelchair in which Guo Zhouyi was sitting.

"What else, there's no way it's going to be settled, Rand. Needless to say, the guys sent by Team Bell to test their tone were soldiers; Two resistance groups, one supports nihilistic girls, and the other is not yet conscious as leaders, they may be good saboteurs, but after destruction, how to make the world reborn from the ashes。。。。。。 Forget it, alas," Guo Zhouyi leaned his head back gently, his intracranial pressure was still a little abnormal, and he had to be careful, "But if I had to choose, I would probably choose a celestial." ”

"It's not because of that little girl, is it?"

"You know what else to ask, besides, she's not a little girl anymore."

"Are you really okay, I mean wait a minute, no problem." Harman pushed Guo Zhouyi back to the ward.

"I'm more worried about Zeon's force field and reasons for joining the battle, but that's something you think about, so I'm not going to participate at the moment, I'm thinking about Langde now. In addition to Bell's coming, who else will come with this armed march. ”

"I don't know what would be better for you to worry about... Harman felt a little lacking in his vocabulary, "How's the body, how is it maintained?" ”

"Kira and Director Simeone of the Dawning Society are making the final push on the stability of the Minovsky particle lattice structure of the fusion furnace, and the basic combat capability should be no problem, rest assured," Guo Zhouyi turned his head and kissed Harman's hand gently, "The trump card of the Federation, I promise to let them have no return." ”

"Even if the opponent is a white demon?"

"If the white demon is to go, I will let him go with mercy."

The two teased each other and walked back to the ward.

Three hours later, the 3rd meeting room of the government of the Orb line.

Seven people, plus the lion princess for a total of eight, and there was a guy in civilian clothes sitting in the corner. Hmm, maybe the one in civilian clothes is really noteworthy, Guo Zhouyi glanced around after being pushed into the conference room.

"Mr. Bakina seems to be recovering well, and the medical facilities in Orb are still up to your needs?" The wheelchair had just been stopped, and an elderly man with white hair spoke first.

"Thank you for your care, the recovery is quite good, and I am very touched by Orb's enthusiasm." Guo Zhouyi put aside a group of old ghosts trying to stop him from rescuing Haman, and threw out diplomatic rhetoric without smiling.

"Then I'm relieved, I guess you know why we called you here today?"

"I know, but until then, call me you, you're all my elders, and even in diplomacy I want to pay a little attention to tradition." Guo Zhouyi showed a humble smile and owed himself in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Bakina is very cultivated, and we are very pleased, but your behavior is not proportional to your cultivation."

"I don't know how you understand that?" Guo Zhouyi stared at the person who spoke, this person Cagalli reminded him, his name is Lampes, and he is a veteran in the first war.

"You seem to be very cultivated and able to restrain yourself, but your unrestrained and unconstrained behavior has brought Orb a series of troubles, do you know !!?" Lampes's tone hardened suddenly.

"Unconspiracy, I don't know which of my actions you are talking about, say it and listen to it?" Guo Zhouyi showed a slightly contemptuous smile and swept Ka Jiali with the corner of his eye.

"Unauthorized airdrop of your MS from Zeon to Orb, and unauthorized dispatch, do you want to tie Orb to the chariot of terrorists like you Zeon?!" Lampes seems to want to put the final word on it.

"First of all, you admit that I am a junior, then I ask you, joining you in your 20s, very young, your lover in love, your lover was kidnapped, what would you do if you were me? I'm a young man, even if I'm a good MS driver, or an envoy sent by my commander-in-chief, I'm still a young man, and you just admitted that you think of me as a junior, since you don't mind thinking of yourself as an elder, why should you measure my behavior by your standards? ”

There was a burst of embarrassment in the conference room, and the overwhelming momentum of Lampes just now disappeared almost instantly.

"You think of yourself as a junior, so your Char commander actually sent a junior like you to Orb to discuss with us, is it bullying us Orb no one or 。。。。。。。。。?"

"Actually, there is a big misunderstanding here," Guo Zhouyi stretched out a finger and shook it, "My commander-in-chief has been in the universe, and his intelligence sources tell him that Orb's loyal old men all followed Lord Uzmi in the First World War, showing Orb's will in the flames of self-destruction, while another group of veterans were killed in Unador in the Second War。。。。。 ”

"So, the commander-in-chief just thought, the political environment of Orb should be quite young, so as a young man, I should be more suitable for this mission," Guo Zhouyi lowered his head and smiled, and when he raised his head, his tone instantly became cold, "But I didn't expect that it was actually a group of remnants who should have disappeared with the two leaders of Orb dancing around here, and my commander-in-chief was indeed a mistake." ”

"Remnant?! You call us remnant?! Lampes' old face flushed.

"Actually, I originally wanted to say that old age is immortal, but since you said that I am a young man with good cultivation, I will do as you wish," Guo Zhouyi snorted, "The old lion who really follows Orb, the people of Uzmi have the determination to express Orb's will with death, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice after sending the spark of hope to the universe, these people are admired by me and the commander-in-chief." ”

"Tell me, then, where were you then?!" Guo Zhouyi slapped the armrest of the wheelchair suddenly.

"Don't you speak, then I'll say. The logic here is this, if you may cause trouble for Ob for my actions, then you have shown yourself to be an absolute pacifist and not to be swayed by the will of either side, but as I said, those admirable old men have already gone with Uzmi, and apparently you have survived, and I have to wonder what your position is? ”

"And taking a step back, if you were a believer in Unado, your position would definitely not be the same as it is today, because Unado was more of a fool than a politician。。。。。。 Apparently you're not stupid, are you? ”

"You actually say that Unado-sama is a fool?!"

"You actually jumped out on your own, saving trouble." Guo Zhouyi nodded to Cagalli. Cagalli's gaze immediately shifted to the guy who had just jumped out on his own.

"You 。。。。。。。。。。。!!!"

"I'm calculating you, that's right," Guo Zhouyi nodded with a smile, "But so what, being so old and jumping out of the way without doing things without going out of your head, doesn't it just prove that you are a staunch supporter of the Unado faction?" ”

"What we're going to talk about today is 。。。。。。。" Lampes spoke again.

"Although it is very rude to interrupt the elders, with all due respect, we should have a meeting at the military headquarters today." Guo Zhouyi raised his hand to interrupt Lampes's words.

"The military department?"

"Whether you like it or not, war is coming, and the federal government will not allow Orb to be one of their backyards*. Just as Orb will not let the Federation manipulate Orb's will, both sides are firm, and these two immutable positions are destined to spark a spark, a spark of war. So our meeting today was supposed to be with the generals, the staff officers, and time is now an asset, gentlemen. Haman finally spoke, and Guo Zhouyi patted Haman's hand on his shoulder.

"War 。。。。。。。" Lampes's face darkened suddenly.

"To borrow the words of a great man, most of the problems of modern times are not solved by negotiations and balls, but by iron and blood, and peace without the backing of guns is a pile of waste paper, garbage. It is true that Orb does not want war, but in the idea and the war that will come, Orb 。。。。。。。。。 Ahem, ahem!! Guo Zhouyi suddenly coughed violently, and there was a hint of bright red in the palm of the hand covering his mouth.

"Send Mr. Bakina back!!" The guards outside the door heard the shouts inside and pushed Guo Zhouyi back.

The door to the conference room was closed again, and everyone was silent, the sharp words just now hit the heart of the vast majority of people--- they were a group of people who did not have the courage to live and die with Orb in the First Great War, and now they were exposed to their lion princess.

"So, guys, let's move on." Cagalli returned to his place and looked around at the senators, who were almost all on their own minds, with shy faces on their faces.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Guo Zhouyi, who was sent back to the ward, had just left the sickness on his face, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to Haman's back.

Syllable!!!

"Do you want to scare me to death?" Haman looked at Guo Zhouyi with a cold face.

"Scared to death? I'm pretending to be right.,But I've told you through the NT induction of the two of us that I'm fine.。。。。 Guo Zhouyi covered the back of his reddened hand and was depressed for a while.

"I。。。。。。。。。 I....... Haman muttered for a long time.

"Okay, what can you do, enjoy it, this is one of the few peaceful days, come here." Guo Zhouyi moved to the side and patted the vacant bed.

"Don't greet people like that, I'm not a puppy。。。。。"

"Then you don't move slowly like a puppy。。。。。" Guo Zhouyi couldn't help but laugh as he watched Haman's face flush move step by step.

"You say, is this really good," Guo Zhouyi pulled Haman into his arms.

"What。。。。。 What's good or bad。。。。。。 I think it's good, you also said, there are not many days of peace... ”

"I mean, whether I did the exercise well or not, whether I should do it or not, but you're right, there are not many days of peace, and it will be a heavenly day for me from now until the battle begins."
