Chapter 233: Things From the Old Life

"Only 50%?" Uzmi and Yang Hongyu both frowned. This success rate was too low for them to accept.

"That's right, only 50%, leaving us too little time." Yang Hui shook his head and said.

Fifty percent refers to the development and growth of Orb. While adhering to the concept of neutrality, it must be able to withstand the pressure from the two major forces of the Earth United and ZAFT, and it must be able to protect itself even if it falls into a war.

If Yang Hui had come to this world 20 years earlier, Yang Hui would have been confident in developing Orb into the third largest force on par with Earth United and PLANT. But it is already the end of CE70 and [Plan G] is about to be completed. , the X series has all been shipped to [Heliopolis], which means that the official plot line is about to begin.

It was only about half a year from the beginning of the plot to the time when the Earth Alliance had its own MS troops and attacked Orb.

Half a year is not enough for Orb to be able to compete with the Earth United and PLANT, even if the full strength of Yang Hui, Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria is taken into account.

And considering that Orb has been under the surveillance of the two major forces, if you want to form a mobile suit unit, you need to import a large amount of rare materials from the outside. Such a big move cannot be hidden from the eyes of the two major forces. Once discovered, it will definitely be Adopt political and economic sanctions against Orb and restrict Orb's import and export, leaving Orb with technology but unable to convert it into combat effectiveness.

It is even more likely that the two major forces will be wary and launch an attack on Orb in advance.

So the 50% that Yang Hui mentioned is the success rate calculated based on all these difficulties. It is really very high.

"...I know, let's do it."

The difficulties that Yang Hui could think of, Uzmi could naturally think of. To be honest, after taking into account all possible factors, Uzmi felt that the 50% mentioned by Yang Hui was just a deliberate increase to comfort them. In his opinion, Come on, let alone 50%, not even 10%.

However, Yang Hui's point of view is exactly the same as that of Uzmi. Now Orb is a bitch who sets up archways. He can only stand on the moral high ground to promote slogans and ideas, and has no power to defend his position. Once the earth unites or PLANT made up its mind to ask Orb to side with Orb, and Orb had no choice but to join a force. The bubble of neutral countries burst.

Therefore, in order to maintain a neutral position and not be manipulated by anyone or any force, Orb must have the power to protect himself, and even the power to fight against the world.

It's just... Uzmi is old, and his enterprising spirit has long been worn away. His vision can only see how to maintain Orb's current status, but not its future development.

Yang Hui's behavior of secretly joining forces with Sahak to help jointly develop MS appeared to be undermining Orb's position, but secretly it actually set Orb on the path to development and growth.

So...even if the success rate is slim in his eyes, he will support Yang Hui's plan. At worst, he will use his own life to pave the way for young seeds. As long as Orb's ideas are passed down, the seeds can thrive, and their older generation What does your contribution count?

"Leave it to me, Uzumi-sama."

Yang Hui's evaluation of Uzmi is mixed. Uzmi can only see the present and cannot see the future development situation. Such a person has failed as a leader of a country, not to mention Orb's situation. So complicated, Orb's path is to sail against the current, retreat if you don't advance, and only seek temporary safety. Orb's demise is a matter of time.

But as the leader of the country of Orb, Uzmi has devoted his whole life to the country, and was even willing to use his own life to pave the way for Orb. This is admirable, not only for him, but also for most of the senior officials. This is true.

With such a leadership group, the whole country is united and has unparalleled cohesion. This... is the real reason why Orb is called the [Sleeping Lion].

"Go to [Heliopolis]. Since it is your participation in the plan, then witness it with your own eyes until the end."

"Well, I've already booked a flight and will leave today."

"And...if you can, help me bring that idiot daughter back."

Yang Hui: ~囧~

As soon as he heard the words "idiot daughter", Yang Hui got a headache.

Cagalli Yura Asghar, Uzmi's adopted daughter and the first princess of Orb, does it sound very noble?

but!

Yang Hui's only evaluation of Cagalli is "a naughty kid who never grows up."

He has a fierce, impulsive personality and is single-minded. He only cares about what he sees and does not think about the deeper meaning behind it. Once he has determined his own thoughts, he will not listen to anyone's advice and does not care about other people's feelings. She insists on having her own way, and even encourages those around her to join her in going crazy.

The most important thing is! Cagalli is also a short-sighted person who firmly believes that the current Orb is the best and refuses all changes.

Cagalli is worthy of being Uzumi's daughter. Her short-sighted vision is exactly the same as Uzumi's, and she is even better than others. Although Uzumi has no ambition to make progress, he can support young people's enterprising spirit and see clearly. What is Orb's future path?

But Cagalli couldn't see clearly, and would even criticize Yang Hui's behavior, thinking that it was destroying Orb, and her approach was to constantly give in on the basis of maintaining Orb's neutrality, which eventually led to other forces gradually eroding Orb. , swallowing up Orb silently.

Yes, Yang Hui's approach does entail a great risk, but this is the current situation of Orb. If they don't explode in silence, they will die in silence. If they try hard, Orb still has a future, but Kagali's approach is to push Orb to the brink of destruction without even a chance to turn back.

So... Yang Hui has made up his mind to save Uzumi and others as much as possible. If he can't do it, he can't let Orb fall into Kagali's hands.

"Can I refuse?" Yang Hui asked with a look of grievance.

He and Kagali have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is quite bad. They quarrel almost every time they meet. Yang Hui is not a real child, so he won't be serious with children, but Kagali likes to be serious with him. Every time she sees him, she will quarrel with him, and she has a posture of "I can't win and no one wants to leave", which makes Yang Hui very headache. There is no way, if you can't afford to provoke, just hide.

"Hahaha, your relationship is still as bad as ever."

Speaking of the relationship between children, Uzumi and Yang Hongyu laughed at the same time.

"It's not my fault. She doesn't want to let me go." Yang Hui spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Well, I understand, but Xiaohui, I want to ask you to bring her back, not in the name of Uzmi Nara Asha, but in the name of your father."

"... I'll do my best. You know your daughter well." If it was a request from a national leader, Yang Hui would have refused even if he had principles, but he couldn't refuse the request of an old father.

"Hahaha, then I'll leave it to you."

Yang Hui nodded, got up and left. After leaving, the smile on Uzmi's face completely disappeared, and he had a headache instead. Yang Hongyu's expression was completely opposite to Uzmi's, with a face full of pride and pride.

"Alas, why can't that girl learn from Xiaohui."

"Hehe, Xiaohui has been a genius since he was a child, and he also has the maturity and stability of an adult, which ordinary people can't learn."

Excluding the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Uzmi and Yang Hongyu have been close friends for many years. It's not a formal occasion, so naturally they don't need to be too serious.

"Old Yang, what I mentioned to you before... How have you considered it?"

"Not very much, you know my son, there is really nothing I can do for him as a father." Yang Hongyu spread his hands and said bluntly.

"Is there really no room for maneuver? Doesn't your husband like Cagalli very much? Can't he help with the work?"

"Yes, my husband really likes Cagalli very much, and he wishes that Cagalli was his daughter, but... a daughter is not a daughter-in-law, don't forget the two girls from Noriega and the Wang family."

"Uh..."

"Forget it, Xiaohui and Cagalli are really not suitable."

"Alas, that girl... I'm afraid she can't get married."

...

Yang Hui didn't know about the private conversation between Uzmi and Yang Hongyu. He was now concentrating on what he should do next and how to maximize his benefits.

If nothing unexpected happens, ZAFT's intelligence network has already obtained information about the [G Plan], and the Cruze team is also on the way to [Heliopolis], and a battle is inevitable.

Yang Hui didn't care about the plot. What Yang Hui had to consider was how to preserve [Heliopolis] from the battle. After all, it was the only colony satellite of Orb. If it was destroyed, the people of Orb would worry that Orb would not be able to protect them, which would eventually lead to a loss of morale.

But the destruction of [Heliopolis] was also beneficial. First, it could be used as an excuse to ask for diplomatic compensation from PLANT and obtain a large number of supplies. Yang Hui had a good relationship with the top leaders of PLANT, so it was still possible to fight for material compensation. Second, Orb did not have cosmic power yet, and [Heliopolis] was a pig to be slaughtered. As long as the two major forces had ideas, they could occupy [Heliopolis] without any effort, and Orb was helpless. Rather than letting it hang out and divide Orb's energy, it would be better to destroy it directly.

What? You mean the territory in the universe?

Please, when Orb becomes strong, let alone [Heliopolis], dozens or hundreds of [Heliopolises] will not be a problem!

So Yang Hui couldn't decide whether to protect Heliopolis for a while.

There was also the X series robbery. He thought about grabbing a Gundam as a temporary vehicle, but this idea was quickly dismissed because of his identity.

There was no problem with the argument of protecting himself for a while, but Yang Hui's plan was to follow the Archangel, at least for a while. Once he followed the Archangel and helped them fight, the Earth Union and PLANT would not miss this opportunity.

For example, as a natural person, why can he drive a MS? For example, as a neutral, why should he help the joint battle?

This will bring crisis to Orb.

As for the idea of ​​having to follow the ship, there are many talents on the Archangel, including the captain, the deputy captain, the ace pilot, the god helmsman who drives the battleship as a fighter, the super maintenance division... a ship full of talents, especially Deputy Captain Bazilulu, Yang Hui is reluctant to let her become a victim of political struggle.

The most important thing is Kira's existence. Although Kira will eventually join Orb's camp, Yang Hui doesn't just want Kira to help Orb fight. If he wants to completely pull Kira to his side, it is necessary to make contact in advance, because Kira is confused at this time. At this time, it is almost the only chance to build a good relationship with Kira and instill his own ideas. Once Kira determines his own path and values, it will be difficult for him to accept his ideas.

"The strongest adjuster... I don't know if I can accelerate your growth..."
