Gundam 00: Rise of China

"But what does this have to do with the Celestial Being organization?"

"Are you saying that the Celestial Organization can't change the world?"

Shaci and Louis were deeply shaken by Wang Ye's words and fell into a deep contemplation of profound thoughts. At this moment, Wang Liumei, who had been acting as if she were detached from the matter, stepped in.

She was well aware of Wang Ye's reasoning. If the head of the Wang family didn't understand such a principle, it would be a joke.

This was a blatant underestimation of Wang Liumei, but as the saying goes...

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

He didn't want to become the head of the Wang family, and he didn't want to shoulder the responsibilities of the Wang family with his young shoulders.

Yet they were powerless to refuse this fate, after learning of the idea of ​​the divine being changing the world.

Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, then treating this meaningless straw as their last salvation.

Wang Liumei is in this state now. She can see everything clearly, but she wants to make herself unable to see clearly, stubbornly regarding the divine as the only way to escape fate.

Just like in the world without Wang Ye, she was adrift and swaying in the wind.

She stood on the Ptolemaic side, which included the young lady and others, while also providing strong support behind the scenes for A-Laws, which was founded by Ribbons.

Hedging your bets will only please neither side...

"What is the Celestial Being organization doing?"

Wang Ye, who had been jokingly referring to Xiang Zhuang's sword dance as a ploy to undermine Liu Bang, laughed. "After all this time, do you really think Wang Ye is discussing the topic of peace with two young people, Sha Zi?"

Everything Wang Ye did was for Wang Liumei!

With a smile, Wang Ye's smile was quite profound. Looking at Wang Liumei, who finally showed her true emotions, he removed the pastries and spoke directly.

"Using the power of Gundam, they wantonly attacked our country and the AEU within the gravity zone."

"After suffering a loss in Ceylon, they temporarily suppressed their naive idea of ​​showing off their military power and instead attacked illegal armed groups and mines, i.e. plantations."

"It's just a superficial effort to stop the boiling water, something the Celestial Organization has been doing all this time."

"Haven't we three major powers done this before?"

"But illegal things are like bamboo shoots after a spring rain; you cut them down today, and they will grow back in the same place tomorrow."

"What's the point of just going through the motions without addressing the root cause?"

"But the illegal armed group did indeed voluntarily declare its disbandment!"

Unable to accept that the Celestial Organization was incapable of changing the world, Wang Liumei presented what she considered sufficient evidence.

Then they tried to use this to prove that Wang Ye's argument was wrong.

"Oh, is that really so?"

Wang Ye, neither angry nor attempting to refute Wang Liumei, simply looked at her with the same calm and collected expression.

Clearly, Wang Ye's meaning was obvious. If ordinary people can't see or understand it, can't you, Wang Liumei, see or understand it either?

Or perhaps you saw it and understood it, but simply chose not to look at it or understand it!

"I......"

Wang Liumei's face turned slightly red with anger at Wang Ye's expression. She opened her mouth but hesitated to say that it was all thanks to the Celestials.

As the person in charge, she knew better than anyone why those organizations were disbanded.

"Brother Wang Ye, what's the situation in Taliban?"

Combining the bits and pieces of information she occasionally overheard from her sister, Saci recovered her senses sooner than Louise.

Looking at Wang Ye in front of him, Shazi fully understood what he meant and was eager to see the Taliban campaign from his perspective.

"They bully the weak and fear the strong, are forced into a corner, and then their efforts fizzle out."

Wang Ye glanced meaningfully at the fuming Wang Liumei, then continued to comment on the Celestial Organization without any politeness.

"Since the emergence of the Celestial Being Organization, it has attacked the AEU, the People's Revolutionary Alliance, and many local organizations within the Gravity Sphere."

"There is not a single record of any attack on Union."

"Brother Shazi, you don't actually think Union is the world that Celestial Being claims has eradicated war, do you?"

"The real root of the problem is not addressed in the first place, and only when there is no other way do we think about fixing things after the fact."

"Do I really need to approve of such behavior?!"

"I see."

Having readily accepted Wang Ye's argument, Shaci thought for a while, but even though he was in the Union faction, he dared not, or rather, felt embarrassed to, say that the Union was the future of humanity.

In particular, he is that island nation that has been repeatedly exploited and drained by Union to make up for its losses.

The island nation's true feelings toward the Union are far less submissive and respectful than they verbally express.

Not to mention he has an older sister who is a current affairs and political journalist; just thinking about her various comments about Union when no one is home makes me think of all the things she says.

Shaking his head, Saji, who had initially held a certain degree of goodwill towards the Celestials, now felt only deep suspicion.

Taking a deep breath, Shaci sincerely and earnestly thanked Wang Ye.

Saji wasn't really looking forward to the upcoming school trip; he couldn't wait to get back to his sister's side.

Then she told her sister exactly what Wang Ye had said and what he thought.

"You will definitely become good friends with my sister."

Suddenly, Shaci couldn't help but blurt out this sentence.

And because of these words, Shazi rightfully received Piris's death stare.

Piris, who had been listening quietly without saying a word, stared at Shaci with a rather fierce look.

"Haha, what I mean is, my sister and Brother Wang Ye will become friends."

"We're really just friends."

Noticing the gaze from Piris, Saji, instantly flustered, scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Louise, who was trying to help her boyfriend out of the awkward situation, quickly tried to smooth things over, and glared at her unreliable Saji, urging him to apologize.

However, before Shaci could apologize, Wang Liumei, unwilling to accept such a defeat, spoke again.

"So, how do you see the future of humanity, or rather, how the world should change?"

Staring at Wang Ye, Wang Liumei's attitude was clear: since you say the Celestial Organization is a failure, what are your thoughts?

If you don't have any solutions either, then your talk of divine intervention is just the pot calling the kettle black—a complete clown.

And at least the Celestial Organization still dares to try and is still taking action, so what are you, Wang Ye, doing?

"Universe, outer universe, deep space universe."

Wang Ye had heard these two stubborn people debate this kind of question so many times back in the UC world that his ears were calloused.

In his next remarks, Wang Ye quoted someone's argument, which was also part of the argument that Wang Ye himself agreed with, to answer Wang Liumei's question.

"The reason why humanity ventures into space is to prevent the gravitational field from being destroyed by the weight of humanity."

"We believe that humanity should no longer be bound by gravity, as we have long been playing in the cradle of Earth."

"The era of humans leaving Earth to live independently has arrived, but many people are not aware of this at all. Humans are still killing each other and polluting the Earth."

"And if we cannot end everything in our time and return the Earth to nature's embrace, if humanity cannot stand on its own in the universe."

"Then Earth will no longer be a water planet. Earth, which has been weary for so long, will finally tell us in its own way."

Before Wang Ye could finish speaking, Piris suddenly clutched his head and began to wail.
