Chapter 350 Atlantic Federation's Conditions

Cagallie squatted against the wall, hugged her knees and cried. She really knew nothing. Not only did she know nothing, but she also blindly made trouble and slandered Yang Hui and others.

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

"As for why you always want to know why I took the initiative to attack Papua New Guinea, in addition to expanding Orb's territory and size, it is also a place for citizens to take refuge."

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

"Do you think... Orb is strong now?" Yang Hui turned around and looked at Orb from the roof of the hospital, the majestic Ministry of Defense, the prosperous city, and the peaceful life.

"Of course it is strong!" Cagalli replied as a matter of course. In her eyes, Orb is very strong. It has its own MS troops, as well as super aces such as Yang Hui, Lyle, Setsuna, and Tieria. It also has a huge fleet, its own mass accelerator, and can defeat the ZAFT army. How can it not be strong?

"No, you are wrong. Orb... is still very weak." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly. In the past ten years, he has used all the methods and means he can think of to make Orb stronger. He has indeed raised Orb's national strength by two or three levels, and it truly meets the title of [Sleeping Lion].

But... Yang Hui knows very well that the lion is still sleeping, and the lion is still just an animal, not a human.

"How could it be!?" Cagalli and Kira were shocked. In their opinion, Orb is really strong.

"If the main force of the ZAFT army had not launched a large-scale operation against Alaska, do you think I would dare to attack the ZAFT occupied area? Even if the ZAFT army lost 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. On Earth, ZAFT still has the Gibraltar base, Victoria Harbor, and Kaohsiung Harbor. In the universe, in addition to the space fleet, there is also the Boyaz Fortress, Yakin Duwei, and the mainland."

"Let's take a look at the Earth Army. Although it lost the Joshua base in Alaska, you also know that the specific The combat power is just a discarded piece like the Archangel and the cannon fodder of the Eurasian Federation. The Atlantic Federation only lost one base and was not seriously injured. In addition, there are the East Asian Republic and the Eurasian Federation. There are still a large number of space fleets and crater moon bases in the universe. "

"For them, Orb is still a sleeping lion. Even if it wakes up, it will be locked in a zoo for people to appreciate. "

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

"Just wait and see. The ZAFT army suffered such a big loss in Alaska, revenge is coming. Orb has now shown its strength. When both sides are free, one side will definitely attack Orb. The Atlantic Federation is the most likely. Orb can't stop it. It can only send away the fire of Nirvana in advance and transfer its citizens to refuge outside the mainland."

"But... once Orb's mainland falls, even if Papua New Guinea is conquered, it won't..."

"No, Papua New Guinea is not Orb's territory yet. We just responded to the request of the local government and provided humanitarian assistance to liberate them from the brutal ZAFT." Yang Hui said with a smile.

"Uh, this..."

"All the troops heading to Papua New Guinea will become the official army of Papua New Guinea the moment Orb falls. They will no longer belong to Orb until Orb is rebuilt."

"...Okay, I understand." Kira was convinced. He lamented that Yang Hui was still the Yang Hui he knew. He took one step and looked three or even five steps ahead, and had already arranged everything that would happen next.

Moreover, Yang Hui did fulfill his promise to him. Even though Yang Hui knew from the beginning that Orb would definitely fall once, he never thought of using nuclear weapons to save Orb.

"Kira, I won't ask you to stay and help Orb."

"Huh? Why?" Cagalli asked in surprise.

Neither Yang Hui nor Kira answered Cagalli, their eyes met: "Freedom is given to you, do what you want to do, you are not the ZAFT army, nor 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 that 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 by his own will. This time, Yang Hui did not give Kira any psychological hints or guidance, and 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 Orb it is now, then I will become your enemy." Kira said to Yang Hui seriously. Yang Hui will help Orb to always adhere to the concept of absolute neutrality and let Orb stand on the top of the world.

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

In the future, Orb will become the observer and coordinator of the world, and Kira will be the supervisor of Orb.

"No problem."

The conversation ended here, and Yang Hui left the hospital alone. He didn't have much time to rest, and there were still a lot of things to do.

And Cagalli, Kira and Frey still stayed on the rooftop, looking at the peaceful scenery of Orb together.

"I really... don't understand anything." Cagalli said self-deprecatingly.

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

Frey was also shocked, because she had never thought that Yang Hui had been struggling in the darkness since he was 6 years old and working hard for the country, while she... was still an innocent daughter of a rich family before her father died in battle, willful, naughty, and ignorant. After experiencing so much, she has grown 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, what national affairs, what Orb's philosophy, she doesn't care, she only cares whether Kira can continue to stay by her side.

"Kira, Frey, what you heard today must not be spread." Cagalli said to the two seriously.

"No problem." To be honest, Kira was a little embarrassed. Of course, he knew that what he heard just now must not be spread, at least not before the completion of the [White Dove Plan], but... you are the one who needs to keep it secret the most, right?

As for Frey, Kira will watch and persuade her privately, and she will probably not care about these things.

…

“Beep beep beep…”

“Lord Uzumi, it’s me, Yang Hui.”

“Come to my office.”

“Okay.”

After receiving the call, Yang Hui immediately rushed to Uzumi’s office. In the office, he saw not only Uzumi, but also Huang and Wang Liumei, Malu, Bakilulu and Mu.

“You’re just in time, let’s watch it together.”

Yang Hui sat next to Huang and Wang Liumei, and Uzumi turned on the TV. The Atlantic Federation’s press conference just started.

"The garrison fought bravely to the last man. We must engrave the fall of Joshua Base and the great pain in our hearts into history and remember them in our hearts.

But we will never surrender! What right do the adjusters have to deprive us of this peaceful land under our feet and this peaceful sky above our heads!? The sacrifices we have made are huge, but we must overcome the grief and face the challenges bravely!

For the safety and peace of the earth, to protect our future, we must now unite as one and fight those arrogant adjusters to the end!"

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

"Although it is understandable, it is really a bit unbearable." Mu Du, a former major of the Earth Army, said so.

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

"For the countries that are still neutral, the Atlantic Federation is also putting further pressure on them, and even said that if they refuse to join the Earth Army in the war, they will be regarded as enemies. In this operation, Orb launched an attack on the ZAFT-occupied area, which made them think that we were ready to surrender to them..."

"Hehe." Yang Hui sneered at Uzumi's statement, "What conditions did you put forward?"

"... Only one condition."

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

"..."

Uzumi looked at Yang Hui deeply, and Yang Hui guessed what the conditions put forward by the Atlantic Federation were.

"Me, right?"

"What!?" Maru, Bakilulu and Mu exclaimed.

"That's right." Uzumi nodded, "The Atlantic Federation has only one condition, hand you over to them. If you don't do it, they will regard Orb as an enemy and declare war."

"Haha, hahahaha..." Yang Hui covered his face and laughed, his smile suddenly became dangerous, "...then let them come! It's not the lack of power that is worrying, but the inequality. ZAFT has fought twice. If we don't fight them again, isn't it too partial?"

"Yang Hui..." Uzumi's expression was very complicated. Orb would naturally not hand over Yang Hui. No matter how strong or weak Orb was, it would not sell out any citizen in exchange for its own interests. Besides... they couldn't do it either. Yang Hui was now the uncrowned king of Orb.
