Cagalli squatted down against the wall, hugged her knees and cried, she really didn't know anything, not only did she not know anything, but she also blindly added to the chaos, blindly slandered Yang Hui and them.

"Yang Hui ......" Kira's face was complicated, if Yang Hui was telling the truth, Kira would be able to understand Yang Hui's plan and understand everything he had done for Orb, but in his opinion, both the process and the goal were too radical, and ...... When Orb has the power to challenge the whole world, will it become the next Earth Union, the next ZAFT?

"As for you who have always wondered why I took the initiative to attack Papua New Guinea, in addition to expanding the territory and size of Orb, it is also a place of refuge for the people."

"Refuge? What do you mean? Cagalli raised her head and asked Yang Hui.

"What do you think...... Is Orb strong now? Yang Hui turned around and looked out from the roof of the hospital at Orb, the majestic Ministry of Defense, the bustling city, and the peaceful life.

"Of course it's strong!" Cagalli replied as a matter of course, Orb is very powerful in her eyes, with her own MS troops, as well as super aces such as Yang Hui, Lyle, Instant, and Tieria, as well as a huge fleet, with her own mass accelerator, and being able to defeat the ZAFT army, how can she not be strong?

"No, you're wrong, Orb...... It's still weak. Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly, in the past ten years, in order to make Orb strong, he has used all the methods he can think of, all the means that can be used, and he has indeed increased Orb's national strength by two or three grades, and it is truly in line with the title of [Sleeping Lion].

But...... Yang Hui knew very well that the male lion was still sleeping, and the male lion was still just an animal, not a human.

"How so!?" Cagalli and Kira were shocked that in their opinion, Orb was really strong.

"If it weren't for the fact that the main forces of the ZAFT Army launched a large-scale operation against Alaska, you think I would dare to attack the occupied areas of the ZAFT? Even if the ZAFT Army loses 50% of its main force in Alaska, don't forget that half of this force belongs to Carpentaria and half belongs to the Space Army. ”

"Let's take a look at the Earth Army again, although it lost the Joshua base in Alaska, but you also know that the specific combat power is just an abandoned son like the Archangel and cannon fodder of the Eurasian Federation, the Atlantic Federation has only lost one base, and it has not hurt its muscles and bones at all, in addition, there are East Asian Republics and Eurasian Federations, and there are a large number of space fleets and crater moon bases in the universe."

"To them, Orb is still a sleeping lion, and even if they wake up, they will be locked up in the zoo for people to admire."

"This ......" The two of them were shocked, they had never understood the overall strength of the Earth Army and the ZAFT Army before, and now Yang Hui just told them roughly, which made them feel unbearable.

"Wait and see, the ZAFT army has suffered such a big loss in Alaska, revenge is coming, Orb has now shown his strength, and when the two sides have their hands freed, one side will definitely take action against Orb, the Atlantic Federation is the most likely, Orb can't stop it, so he can only send the fire of Nirvana away in advance, and then transfer the people to the mainland to take refuge."

"But...... Once the Orb mainland falls, then Papua New Guinea will be defeated even if it is defeated......"

"No, Papua New Guinea is not part of Orb now, we just responded to the request of the local government to provide humanitarian aid and liberate them from the brutal ZAFT." Yang Hui said with a smile.

"Uh, this ......"

"All the troops that go to Papua New Guinea, the moment Aubu falls, they become the official army of Papua New Guinea, and they no longer belong to Orb until Aub is rebuilt."

“…… Well, I see. Kira was convinced, he was sighing that Yang Hui was still the Yang Hui he knew, taking one step to see three or even five steps, and he had already arranged everything for the follow-up.

Moreover, Yang Hui did fulfill his promise to him, even if Yang Hui knew from the beginning that Orb would definitely fall once, he did not think of using nuclear weapons to protect Orb.

"Kira, I'm not asking you to stay and help Orb."

"Huh? Why? Cagalli wondered.

Yang Hui and Kira didn't answer Cagalli, and their blazing eyes collided together: "Freedom is given to you, do what you want to do, you are not the ZAFT Army, nor are you the Earth Army, and at the same time, you are not the Orb Army." ”

“…… I understand. Kira nodded, and at the same time, he also said to Yang Hui, "But you are my friend, I said, I will protect you, so...... I will stay in Orb to help you, Yang Hui. ”

"Thank you." Kira deserves this thank you, because he stayed to help Orb completely on his own will, and this time, Yang Hui did not give Kira any psychological hints or guidance, but sincerely let him consider whether to stay or not.

"But I also promise you, Yang Hui, if one day, you deviate from your original intention, and Orb is no longer the current Orb, then I will become your enemy." Kira said to Yang Hui seriously, Yang Hui will help if Orb can always adhere to the concept of absolute neutrality, and if Orb stands on top of the world, he will help.

But! Once Yang Hui has changed, he is no longer satisfied with neutrality, and wants to achieve greater ambitions, then Kira will not hesitate to take up arms and make Yang Hui an enemy.

In the future, Orb will become the observer and coordinator of the world, and Kira will be Orb's overseer.

"No problem."

This was the end of the conversation, Yang Hui left the hospital alone, he didn't have much time to rest, and he still had a lot of things to do.

Cagalli, Kira, and Frey remained on the rooftop terrace, looking out together at the peaceful view of Orb.

"I really...... Nothing to understand. Cagalli laughed to herself in frustration.

"It's not your fault, Cagalli." Kira comforted, let alone Cagalli, this kind of thing is the same for everyone, who would have thought that several 6-year-old children have been working day and night for the country?

Also shocked was Frey, because she never thought that Yang Hui had been struggling in the dark since she was 6 years old, working hard for the country, and she ...... Before her father died, she was still a daughter who didn't know the world, willful, naughty, and ignorant, after experiencing so much, she grew up, and after learning so many things, Yang Hui is indeed qualified to look down on her.

But that's it, hate is hate, she still hates Yang Hui, she doesn't care about any national events, what Orb's ideas, she only cares if Kira can continue to stay by her side.

"Kira, Frey, what you heard today must not be passed on." Cagalli said earnestly to the two.

"No problem." To be honest, Kira was a little embarrassed, of course he knew that what he had just heard must not be passed on, at least not until the [White Dove Project] was completed, but ...... Obviously, you're the one who needs to pay the most attention to secrecy, right?

As for Frey, Kira will watch and persuade her in private, presumably she won't care about these things.

……

"Didi......"

"Lord Uzmi, it's me, Yang Hui."

"Come to my office."

"Okay."

After receiving the communication, Yang Hui immediately rushed to Uzmi's office, where he saw that not only Uzmi was there, but also the emperor and Wang Liumei, as well as Maliu, Baki Lulu and Mu.

"You're just in time, let's watch together."

Yang Hui sat next to the emperor and Wang Liumei, Uzmi turned on the TV, and the press conference of the Atlantic Federation began.

"The garrison fought valiantly to the last soldier, and we must remember the day of the fall of Joshua Base and the great pain in our hearts.

But we will not give in! This peaceful land under our feet, this peaceful sky above our heads, what power does the adjuster have to deprive him!? The sacrifices we have made are enormous, but we must overcome our grief and face the challenges bravely!

For the sake of the safety and peace of the planet, and for the sake of protecting our future, we must unite now and fight to the end against those arrogant adjusters! ”

Seeing this, Yang Hui turned off the TV, he really couldn't stand it, the ugly faces of these politicians.

"It's understandable, but it's a bit unbearable." Mu Du, a former major of the Earth Army, said.

"Hiding the truth, blocking intelligence, manipulating public opinion, the usual methods of the Atlantic Federation, black can be said to be white." Yang Hui spread his hands and said.

"The Atlantic Federation is also putting further pressure on countries that are still neutral, and even saying that if they refuse to join the Earth Army to participate in the war, they will be regarded as an enemy country, and Orb launched an attack on the ZAFT occupation zone in this operation, which also makes them take it for granted that we are ready to join them......"

"Huh." Regarding Uzmi's statement, Yang Hui sneered, "What conditions are proposed?" ”

“…… There is only one condition. ”

"Oh? This is not in line with the Atlantic Federation. Yang Hui was surprised, the Atlantic Federation put forward conditions to Orb, shouldn't it be a lot of things like handing over technology, disbanding the army, and leaving the chief?

“……”

Uzmi looked at Yang Hui with deep eyes, allowing Yang Hui to guess what the conditions proposed by the Atlantic Federation were.

"Me, right?"

"What!?" Maliu, Baki Lulu, and Mu exclaimed.

"That's right." Uzmi nodded, "There is only one condition for the Atlantic Federation, to hand you over to them, and if you don't do so, you will treat Orb as an enemy country and declare war." ”

"Hehe, hahahaha......" Yang Hui laughed while covering his face, his smile suddenly became dangerous, "...... Then let them come! Don't suffer from inequality, ZAFT has beaten them twice, and if you don't beat them again, isn't it too partial? ”

"Yang Hui ......" Uzmi's expression was very complicated, it was naturally impossible for Orb to hand over Yang Hui, no matter how strong or weak Orb was, it was impossible for him to betray any of his citizens in exchange for his own interests, and besides, ...... They couldn't do it either, Yang Hui was now the uncrowned king of Orb.
