"Captain, why didn't Uncle Mu come?" Ma Ningze asked knowingly.

"You and Kira were too cruel." Ma Liu seemed to complain, but also seemed to be suppressing a smile, "You ran away after the fight, which made Kira spend a lot of effort to calm him down."

"Is it my fault?" Ma Ningze shrugged, "By the way, Representative Asha called us here so late because he wanted to..."

"Squeak——" The door of the living room opened.

Uzmi and Colonel Rambo are standing inside.

There was a tall man with his back to everyone, standing in front of the window, looking at the night scene outside the window.

"Representative, what's the matter with calling us here so late?" Ma Liu asked first.

Uzmi didn't answer, just glanced at the man's position.

Ma Ningze looked at the man's back and was stunned.

"What? You don't recognize me so quickly?" The man turned around and took off the hat on his head.

"..." Ma Liu looked at the man blankly, and then blurted out subconsciously.

"Admiral?"

"General, long time no see." Ma Ningze said with a smile.

"Yeah...Long time no see." Halbarton stepped forward and patted Malu on the shoulder.

"Admiral..." In front of his old boss, Malu put down all pretense at this moment, just like a little girl who had just returned to her parents.

"Thank you for your hard work for so long." Halbarton said with a complicated expression.

"General, aren't you at the lunar base?" Ma Ningze said strangely, "How did you come to Orb?"

"Alas..." Halbarton let out a long sigh, "If I don't come over, my own conscience will be troubled."

"Anyway, I still want to come back and see if you are still doing well back then." Halbarton said sadly, "I thought that the Earth United Army was just corrupt, but I never expected that it turned out to be

It looks like this..."

"Even if the soldiers who fought bravely died under enemy fire, it would be far better than being stabbed in the back by one of their own family members..." Halbarton sighed, "On the current Panama front, the soldiers have no fighting spirit.

, ZAFT has well-equipped troops, high morale, and strong strength..."

"Do you blame me for my behavior?" Ma Ningze asked tentatively.

"Ha! You kid, please don't use this kind of rhetoric to test me." Halbarton curled his lips, "Hero Mal... Ha, you're pretty much a seasoned guy."

"Not only do I not blame you, I also want to say that you did a good job." Halbarton said, "Our Eighth Fleet tried our best to cover Major Ramias and remove the ship and the five aircraft.

The information was brought to Earth Headquarters..."

"But those guys actually think these things are too expensive and want to continue cutting the budget..." Halbarton was very angry. "They don't even want to install an EMI defense system! What do they think of human life?"

"I heard that the Battle of Panama has already begun." Ma Ningze said about the rumors he heard at school during the day, "If PLANT gives the Earth Army a grudge in terms of electromagnetic defense..."

"Alas..." Halbarton sighed again, "The fall of Panama is only a matter of time."

Ma Ningze saw that everyone was silent, so he looked at Uzmi who was silent at the side.

"Representative Asghar." Ma Ningze asked with a smile, "I mentioned to you before about the Klein faction's willingness to cooperate. How have you considered it?"

"..." Uzmi looked at Ma Ningze, and then at Ma Liu and Halbaton who were stunned.

"Orb has always pursued a policy of neutrality." Uzmi also sighed, "Although your proposal is very tempting, but..."

"No, no, Mr. Uzmi, you misunderstood what I meant." Ma Ningze said seriously, "First, this is just a terminal, or in other words, it has not been established yet and is only in the conception stage.

'Invitation, it is not a country, just an organization. The Klein faction is only a part of this organization, and cooperation with this organization will not violate Orb's policy."

"If you have an organization, you have a stance. If you have a stance, you have a bias. If you have a bias, you are not neutral." Uzmi replied calmly, "If you are not neutral, it violates the foundation of Orb's founding."

"Mr. Uzmi, the current world structure is already very obvious." Ma Ningze ignored it and continued, "This is also the second point I want to say. The world is rushing in the direction of either/or. If

If you still consider not taking sides, what awaits Orb in the end will be death."

Colonel Rambo raised his head and glanced at Ma Ningze.

"So, do you mean that Orb will surrender to the strong?" Uzmi's eyes flashed.

"We are going to become a tool for the strong to bully the weak! Are we just like those people who cheer for the bully next to him?"

Everyone in the living room felt the pressure exerted by this old lion.

"Mr. Uzmi." Ma Ningze withstood the pressure.

"Sometimes, things happen without personal will."

"You must admit an objective fact." Ma Ningze narrowed his eyes, "Aubu is a weak country."

"If you are weak, you will be beaten."

"Your will to stick to your beliefs is certainly admirable." Ma Ningze walked to the window and looked at the night view outside the window, "But don't the people who come to this country believe in the peace here and believe that Orb can protect them?

, did they just come here?"

"It seems that even I used to think this way?" Ma Ningze seemed to be laughing at himself.

Uzmi said nothing.

"If you insist on your own ideas, won't you drag Orb into the abyss of war?" Ma Ningze turned around and looked at Uzmi, whose eyes flickered. "With your wisdom, it is impossible to ignore it.

You know this, right?"

"If the Atlantic Federation loses Panama, then it will be obvious that they will turn their attention to the remaining two places with mass projectors." Maningze said calmly, "Do you think Victoria is heavily guarded by ZAFT?"

Airport, what attracts them more is Orb who seems to be frail."

"Is this war inevitable?"

Uzmi was silent.

"Actually, my arguments with you, including your arguments with Cajiali, all involve a fundamental disagreement." Ma Ningze said seriously, "In the face of this fundamental principle, if you, me, and your children

, if we have different ideas, then even we may..."

"Finally parted ways."

Ma Ningze squinted his eyes, his pupils showing sharpness.

"Mal!" Malu shouted, but Halbarton stopped him.

Halbarton looked at the determined Ma Ningze with twinkling eyes.

"What fundamental principle do you want to say?" Uzmi stared at Ma Ningze.

"It's very simple." Ma Ningze also looked into Uzmi's eyes.
