"This ...... What the hell is going on? Cagalli looked at everything around her, and her brain, which had been hit one after another, was already difficult to turn.

Uzmi didn't disturb the work of the others, and even grabbed Cagalli, who wanted to come forward to question, until the emperor conveyed all the orders, and only came forward to inquire about the situation during a short break.

"Are you going to start?" Uzmi asked

"Well, it's time to announce Orb's toughness to the rest of the world." The emperor nodded and said.

"Isn't it too early?"

"No, it won't." As he spoke, the emperor summoned several pieces of information and expanded Orb's map to the whole world, marking the military deployment and march trajectory of ZAFT and the Earth Army.

"Since last month, ZAFT has been continuously airdropping troops to the earth, and the ZAFT forces on the earth have also moved very frequently, and all the targets are pointed here."

"Panama, the ZAFT Army is trying to trap the Earth Army on Earth."

"The Panama spaceport is the last spaceport under the jurisdiction of the Earth Army, once it is lost, the connection between the Earth and the lunar crater base will be completely severed, and the universe will become a playground for the ZAFT Army, and the ZAFT Army with air supremacy can also use the Earth as a backyard."

Hearing this, Uzmi knew the seriousness of the matter, and now the war between the Earth Army and the ZAFT Army is still in a delicate balance, although the Earth Army is at a disadvantage, but it can still stalemate with the ZAFT Army.

At the same time, the Earth Army is about to have its own MS forces, and in the event of success, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Earth Army, but ...... It is also limited, and it will not immediately turn the tide of the war, and the next war will enter a more tragic white heat, and the military competition will become more and more intense.

But...... Once the ZAFT Army contributes to Panama, the Earth Army is trapped on Earth, and they are given only two options, either to recapture one of the three spaceports of Panama, Victoria, or Kaohsiung regardless of attrition, or Orb.

"And that's just scratching the surface."

"On the surface?" Hearing this, Uzmi frowned slightly.

"That's right." The emperor nodded, and several more troops appeared on the world map, and at the same time the arrows in the direction of the march changed.

"It's!"

"That's right, according to the intelligence received in the United States, it is certain that the ZAFT army is about to conduct a large-scale operation, but the goal is ...... Most likely, it will not be Panama, but the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Federation, the Joshua base in Alaska, or both! ”

“…… Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang, ZAFT army is ready to make a ruthless hit. ”

"Hehe, if it were just like that, we wouldn't be revealing our strength now." The emperor sneered and called up a confidential document again.

"This!" Uzmi's face was horrified when he saw the document.

"That's right, the ZAFT army is not as ruthless as the scumbags of the Atlantic Federation."

"Is the information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, the agent who delivered the intelligence joined the operation as a sapper."

"What about others?"

“……”

"Really......"

The Emperor's silence told Uzmi the answer, and the answer he least wanted to hear, another unsung hero had died.

"Lord Uzmi, you should know what the future holds once the Atlantic Federation succeeds."

“……”

Uzmi is silent, once the conspiracy of the Atlantic Federation succeeds, the flame of hatred will spread with the momentum of a prairie fire, which will be difficult to extinguish, and the whole world will be plunged into the vortex of war, and no one will be spared.

"Natural Persons and Adjusters, Atlantic Federation and ZAFT, this hatred...... will not be able to be resolved. Uzmi closed his eyes in pain, not only worried about Orb's future, but also heartache for the world, knowing that Orb had set an example, why couldn't others understand that natural people and adjusters could coexist peacefully?

"No kidding! What the hell are you going to do!? Cagalli, who had not spoken, roared, and she could see that Orb's peace was about to be broken.

The General Command fell silent, and everyone looked at Cagalli.

"You're doing this to make Orb start a war! I will not allow it! ”

"You don't allow it? And then what? The Emperor asked Cagalli blandly.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, you don't allow it, and then what?"

And then ...... And then...... End the war, of course! ”

"How?"

"This ......"

"Also, who cares if yours don't allow it?"

The emperor's indifference was like a sharp sword inserted into Cagalli's chest.

"I ...... You ......"

Cagalli was undoubtedly choked and turned to run, but was pulled by Uzmi.

"Where are you going?"

"Stopping you, of course! I can't let you ruin Orb! ”

"What you want to do, it's going to ruin Orb." Huang Huan clasped his hands and said flatly.

"What did you say!?"

"Do you know that for this day, for Orb to stand on the international stage with a strong posture, to maintain neutrality with a tough attitude, so that all forces dare not underestimate Orb, how many people have given everything, and how many people have died outside in obscurity?"

The Emperor's question turned into a sharp blade, slaughtering Cagalli's fragile heart one by one.

"What do you think peace is? Is it impulsive and willful like you, thinking about nothing, and doing whatever you want? ”

"I didn't?"

"Hehe, do you know yourself, do you know how much trouble your previous actions almost caused Orb? Do you know how many people will have to pay an unbearable price to solve the trouble you cause? ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Watch here, Cagalli, what does Orb need to do if he wants to survive and stick to his ideas."

As soon as the words fell, the emperor waved his hand, and several guards guarded Cagalli's side, not letting her leave the general headquarters, on the one hand, as the emperor said, let Cagalli take a good look at the direction of Obu's progress here; On the other hand, I don't want Cagalli to cause trouble everywhere at this critical point in time.

Uzmi looked at Cagalli as if she were there, but finally ignored her pleading gaze and continued to discuss the follow-up with the Emperor.

"So what are you going to achieve this time?" Uzmi asked.

"Deterring the ZAFT army, so that they do not dare to put pressure on Orb for the time being, and at the same time let the world see Orb's tough attitude and strength, so that Orb can completely enter the world stage, this is [stage combat]."

"But the Atlantic Federation will gain an inch."

"That's right, once we confront the ZAFT army head-on, the Atlantic Federation will definitely make a big announcement that Orb has fallen to them, and will use this to increase the persecution of Orb."

"How to fix it?"

"It doesn't need to be solved."

"Don't need to fix it?"

"That's right, Orb's philosophy is firm and unwavering, a press conference is enough, the rest...... The Atlantic Federation doesn't have time to deal with Orb anytime soon, once it's time to do it......"

Uzmi was silent, he knew what the emperor was going to say next, according to the analysis of the intelligence obtained so far, the Atlantic Federation's action against Orb was already an inevitable result, so it didn't matter whether there was this incident as a cause or excuse or not.

"But we turned over our cards early."

"It's not a big problem, once the Atlantic Federation moves, we can't stop it with or without hole cards." The emperor said with some frustration.

As soon as these words came out, Uzmi fell silent, and everyone in the command room fell silent.

Very unwilling, very angry, but this is the reality, Orb's size is too small, in the face of the behemoth of the Atlantic Federation, Orb is like a flat boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.

“…… I know. As he spoke, Uzmi patted the emperor on the shoulder and looked around at the crowd, "According to your plan, I am still the head of Orb, even if the sky falls, I will help you bear it!" ”

"Uzmi-sama!"

"Uzmi-sama!"

"Uzmi-sama......"

……

"Everyone, Orb...... I'll leave it to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Uzmi left the general command room with Cagalli, what should be asked, what should be understood, what should be said, all completed, and then, the young people can only go on a rampage.

"Father's ......"

"From now on, you either go back to your room and stay, or you can go to the [Dawning Society], and you are not allowed to go anywhere else."

"Father! I ......"

"You don't have the right to refuse."

"But if you do, Orb ......"

"You don't need to worry about Aub's affairs, and you can't worry about it."

"But ......"

"That's it! Cagalli, Orb has stood at the crossroads of fate, either to be destroyed or to stand out, it was me who was too indulgent to you before, from now on, Orb is struggling every step of the way, and must not let you be willful anymore. ”

"Father!"

"Kisaka, watch Cagalli."

"Yes."

"Father!"

Uzmi left with her bodyguards, and Cagalli tried to chase after her, but was caught by Kisaka.

"Let go of me! Kisaka! Father, he was wrong! He shouldn't have done that! They're going to ruin Orb by doing so! ”

In the face of Cagalli's pleading and crying, Kisaka was unmoved, just closed his eyes and grabbed Cagalli, he grew up watching Cagalli grow up, and has always acted as a guard, but more like a big brother taking care of Cagalli.

With Uzmi's acquiescence, Kisaka also let Cagalli be willful, such as running away from home to North Africa, but now, he can't let Cagalli be willful anymore.

In the midst of crying and pleading, Cagalli was forcibly taken home by Kisaka, and a large number of people were arranged to put Cagalli under house arrest and go to [Dawning Society] to practice MS driving or something, there is no need, Cagalli just needs to be a princess quietly.

……

The Archangel slowly approached the edge of Orb's territorial waters, and the ZAFT troops who remained outside the territorial waters were looking forward to penetrating, and both sides were nervous, as soon as the Archangel's legs crossed the border, the battle would begin.

But at this time, a sudden press conference disturbed everyone's thoughts, especially the fleet of the ZAFT army.

"What did you say!?"

"Yes, Orb is holding a press conference to announce that the world, the surrounding countries are grateful for the humanitarian aid that Orb has given him, and at the same time give away part of the territorial waters to Orb."

"How can it be ......" Suddenly, Aslan thought of a very serious question and immediately asked, "Are we in Orb territory now?" ”

“……”

Everyone was stunned and couldn't react for a while.

No one answered, Aslan immediately turned on the terminal, watched the press conference that Orb was doing, happened to see the area where Orb's territorial waters had expanded, and then thought of where they were.

"Issue a red status alert!"
