Chapter 306: Arrival in the Land of Peace
After receiving a reply from Orb, the four of them were completely uneasy.
"What's going on? Why didn't ZAFT see a formal diplomatic statement?" Aslan continued to ask.
“This is a separate diplomatic act between Orb and the Atlantic Federation. There is no need to issue a statement to ZAFT, let alone a formal statement to the outside world. Please ask the ZAFT army to stay away from the Orb border immediately, because you If you attack the escort ship of Orb's important personnel, we will strongly protest to your Carpentaria base. At the same time, if you do not leave our border, our fleet will regard you as a hostile force and launch an attack. "
"...We have reason to suspect that Orb has joined the Earth Alliance. If you don't give a reasonable explanation, we will judge Orb as a hostile country and launch an attack immediately!" Silan did not give in, and also threatened Orb with an attack. Although the four Gundams could not be completely annihilated, there was no problem in destroying more than half of them and retreating safely. After all, Orb's army had been restricted by the United Earth and PLANT. The total number was small, and the destruction of half of the fleet was enough to cause Orb a lot of pain.
"This is just a normal diplomatic behavior between Orb and the Atlantic Federation. Orb has not changed the neutral position. If ZAFT or PLANT has any questions about this, please ask through formal diplomatic channels. Now, all ZAFT troops are asked to stay away from the Orb border. Line, this is the last warning!"
The tone became stern. Aslan knew that this was an ultimatum. If it was true as the other party said, then they would have no reason to attack, otherwise they would give up the excuse. That's them.
The Holy Shield Gundam retreated silently, returned to his companions and gave the retreat order.
“Why? Can’t we just fight?”
“Coward!”
Yitzhak and Diego expressed their dissatisfaction, but they were not idiots. Knowing the current situation, they could only retreat obediently. After all, their elders were members of the Supreme Council. They had been exposed to it since childhood, and they knew something without participating in political work.
Nichol and Aslan were silent. Nigel was not that obsessed with the Archangel, so it didn't matter, and he didn't want to conflict with Orb at this time, and Aslan wanted to of more.
“You actually prepared a reasonable reason to enter the country a month ago, escorting Orb’s VIPs... VIPs... VIPs connected with the Archangel... Yang Hui? Yes, it must be him !”
Fighting with the Archangel It turns out that Aslan has not grown up at all, at least he no longer obeys the orders of others. Especially after becoming the captain, he worked hard to change himself and try to think independently. Problem, this time, he didn't have much entanglement, and he was sure that the person who caused all this was Yang Hui.
"Aslan...Aslan!" Nigel kept calling Aslan. Seeing that Aslan didn't respond, he increased his volume, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"I'm fine..."
"What's wrong with you? Did you think of something?"
"Well, let's go back first. I will explain to you when we get back."
"Okay..."
...
On the other side, news of the Archangel's entry has spread throughout Orb. Orb's territory is very small, and battles taking place near the sea can be seen on some coasts. Instead of hiding it and being discovered by the citizens, it is better to announce it directly. At the same time, explanations were provided to calm the hearts of the people.
At the same time, Orb's senior management also gathered together for an intense meeting to discuss.
“Master Uzmi, is it really okay to let the Yang family’s boys run wild?” someone asked Uzmi.
"Well, it was indeed a bit chaotic this time." Uzmi frowned deeply. After all, Yang Hui has always been prudent in doing things and usually arranges everything so that no one can find an excuse to target Orb. , but this time... it was completely on the surface.
Although entrusting the Archangel to escort him and Cagalli back to Orb is also a formal diplomatic activity, and all legal documents have been prepared in advance to deal with ZAFT's difficulties, but no one at the top can see that Yang Hui Is this helping the Archangel?
Uzmi knows Yang Hui and knows how much Yang Hui hates the Atlantic Federation, so it is impossible for him to get close to the Atlantic Federation. And Yang Hui is a person who values his companions. He traveled with the Archangel for a while before. It should be during that time that Yang Hui He regards everyone on the Archangel as his companions, and his actions are only helping the Archangel, not the Atlantic Federation.
But it looks different to outsiders, because the Archangel belongs to the Atlantic Federation.
"Xiaohui should have prepared a backup plan, right?" Yang Hongyu also understood his son, so he explained.
"..." Everyone was silent. Everyone present was one of them. Who has not been scared by Yang Hui? Who doesn't know that Yang Hongyu seems to be Aub's second-ranked man, and it's all thanks to his son? It’s just that no one has exposed it.
“But what should we do now?” asked a patriarch of the five major families.
"Let's wait until he comes back. Let's see what he thinks first." Uzumi decided.
"The external statement..."
"Just tell the truth. I have a feeling that the world is going to be in chaos, and Orb may not be able to survive alone."
“…”
…
Under the escort of the Second Fleet, the Archangel went directly to Orb's first island, which is also the island where the army and the Dawn Society are located. Even satellites cannot observe the dock here.
"Huh~ Finally arrived safely." Yang Hui stood up, stretched and relaxed.
"Thank you so much, Yang Hui." Ma Liu thanked him, not to mention that the Archangel was able to enter Orb for supplies and repairs, starting from North Africa, no, from [Heliopolis], Yang Hui really helped the Archangel sail for such a long time.
"We are all companions, why are you so polite?" Yang Hui waved his hand to tell everyone not to pay attention. "Companion..." The others looked at each other and smiled, but Ma Liu and Baji Lulu had complicated expressions. It was natural that Yang Hui could regard them as companions, which was something to be happy and even excited about, but... the identity difference between them, It is destined that this "companion" will not last long, and in the future... they may become enemies.
Ma Liu and Baji Lulu simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if they became enemies with Yang Hui, and how they should face it.
"Okay, everyone, take this opportunity to have a good rest. There will be no more enemies during this period."
"Yah ho!"
"Finally You can have a good rest!”
“Oh, I’m so exhausted during this period, I can’t even sleep well.”
...
Compared with the cheers of Arnold and others who originally belonged to the Earth Army, Thor, Mirialia, Sai and Kaz looked at Yang Hui expectantly. They were originally citizens of Orb. They only joined the Earth Army midway and could not leave the Archangel before getting permission, but they also wanted to see their parents.
Of course, it would be best to get permission to enter Orb's city.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to help you fight for it, and at the worst, I will let you meet your parents." Yang Hui promised.
“Great!”
"Please, Yang Hui."
"I'm just waiting for your good news!"
......
After making the promise, Yang Hui looked at Ma Liu and Ba Kirulu said: "You and Major Flaka, please get ready, Lord Uzmi wants to see you."
"Eh?" Hearing this, the two women were stunned.
"Please, although we have conducted diplomatic discussions in advance, everyone can see that I am helping you, which also makes Orb's position become more subtle, so..." Yang Hui spread his hands and told them, "You know ".
"Sorry for causing trouble to you."
"I told you not to worry about it. Thanking you all the time is very unfamiliar." As he said this, Yang Hui reached out and patted the two women. Shoulder, "This is just a relief between companions, not harassment!"
"Pfft~hahahaha..."
Hearing this, the two women were stunned for a moment, and lowered their faces with red faces. He tilted his head, covered his mouth and chuckled, and the others laughed regardless of the image. It was not really that funny, but the long-term frustration and hardship made them need to vent more, and they needed joy to dilute the previous suffering.
Ma Liu and Baji Lulu took care of themselves a little. Mu also received the notice, took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and went with Yang Hui to meet Uzmi. As early as the Archangel entered the Orb transit At that time, Uzmi had already come to [Shuguang Club]. Uzmi was also very interested in the people of the Archangel and wanted to see what they had that deserved Yang Hui to provide them with so much help.
Accompanying Uzumi were Huang and Wang Rumei, as well as Setsuna and Tieria.
Arriving all the way to the living room of the Orb Defense Headquarters, Yang Hui saw Huang, Wang Liumei and others sitting next to Uzmi. There were four empty seats at the long square table, and one was at Uzmi's. Next to them, there were three empty seats prepared for Yang Hui, opposite Uzmi, and Setsuna and Tielia stood behind the three of them as guards. Lyle also joined them after entering the living room.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we are excited and happy, but it is not the time to talk to each other yet. Yang Hui nodded to everyone with a gentle smile, and then sat down next to Uzmi.
After Ma Liu, Baji Lulu and Mu entered the room, they also came to the empty seats opposite and sat down. However, after sitting down, the three of them looked at [Orb's Lion] for a while, but More attention was placed on Huang, Wang Rumei, Setsuna and Tieria.
Especially Huang and Wang Rumei, they are the same age as Yang Hui, but they are just girls. They have already experienced the reason why Yang Hui is qualified to sit with Uzumi, but these two women...could they be the same as Yang Hui? ?
There are also Setsuna and Tieria. Although they are also teenagers, Mu Neng can feel most clearly that the temperament displayed by the two of them is the same as Lyle. They are both warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles, and All very strong.
The sight of the three people was naturally noticed by Uzmi and others, but they just smiled and did not go into details. However, they would not tell them truthfully. After all, they were soldiers of the Atlantic Federation.
“Then let’s officially start, Major Ramias, Major Flaca, and Lieutenant Bakki Lulu.”
“Thank you very much for your help, Orb, Your Excellency Uzmi, and at the same time Thank you for your visit, but I don’t know... is it about our ship’s stay in Orb?” Ma Liu asked after thanking him.
"That's right, but it's not just that. There are also transactions between Orb and the Atlantic Federation."
"Transaction?"
"Yes, your ship is escorting Orb's important personnel. Returning to Orb, Orb provides material supplies and repair assistance to your ship. This... is just a superficial transaction, but the real deal... is that Orb provides as much assistance and convenience as possible to the Archangel, but your ship must All combat data from [Heliopolis] to the present will be raided, and its pilot and adjuster Kira Yamato will be asked to provide technical support to [Auropolis]"
