Chapter 1017 I insist on being with you
(So what? Although Variable Fighter is equipped with PS Armor, it is not a truly qualified product, and the pressure resistance system of Variable Fighter is not perfect. Even if Variable Fighter can withstand live ammunition attacks, it cannot withstand live ammunition attacks beyond a certain level. The question is whether PS Armor can withstand it, but whether the structure and material of the body can withstand it. It is not that Yi Zui deliberately weakens PS Armor, replacing it with Justice Gundam can completely make it stronger)
Mithril's destruction Xiao Ran didn't feel it was a pity at all. Who made the senior officials of Mithril unwilling to follow his advice to gather all the power and hide it, but they thought that such an action was too troublesome and twists and turns, which led to the current more troublesome and twists and turns results.
Of course, judging from Richard's current thinking, it is of course necessary to find an ally to give them the necessary support, and even to gather the defeated soldiers of Mithril. However, the matter of investigating the headquarters is not so inevitable at this time, because now only Danner's Son can use the power, and it is easy to fall into the enemy's trap.
The reason why Richard said this was completely taking into account Tessa's current mood. Jerome Boda almost played the role of a father in Tessa's heart, but now he has lost all contact with Jerome Boda, and has no news about him. Richard is also worried that Tessa will not be able to bear it, so he added the condition of the investigation headquarters.
After hearing Richard's words and seeing Richard's actions, Xiao Ran also understood what Richard meant, but still said, " Although the investigation is important, the most important thing is to rescue the people who are still alive in the Mithril headquarters. However, it is not appropriate and too dangerous to investigate in this situation. However, the longer the delay, the greater the threat factor to the survivors, which makes it difficult to decide."
"With our current strength, even if we can investigate the most detailed situation, it does not mean that we have the strength to rescue those people."
Kalinin nodded in agreement after hearing Xiao Ran's words, while Richard looked at Tessa who lowered her head but didn't say anything.
Looking at the three people, Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "To be honest, I am very interested in Mithril's research department and factory, so in my opinion, the research department is far more important than the Mithril headquarters which has no intelligence and is occupied."
"Although it may be difficult for you to accept it, I would rather rescue those members of the research department who are clearly under house arrest than take the risk of finding people in the headquarters who are not sure whether they are still alive. Of course, even if I think so, my current strength is not enough to rescue all people in the most appropriate and safe manner. Blind actions will not only bring danger to myself, but also put those who are originally safe into danger."
"I don't suggest that you start acting randomly now. The most important thing you should do is to gather the scattered Mithril members first."
As he said that, Xiao Ran also saw Tessa's body trembling slightly, shook his head and said again, "But after all, the battle has just ended, and the Mithril headquarters should still be in a very chaotic state. In this case, it is not impossible to go and investigate, and I am also a little curious about the so-called incomprehensible power over there."
Tessa immediately raised her head, looking at Xiao Ran with her two big eyes filled with gratitude and expectation. Her red eyes looked quite heartbreaking.
"This reconnaissance operation is led by me, Lieutenant Colonel Richard, Major Kalinin. I ask you to formulate an action plan with the goal of reconnaissance and rescue, and send appropriate troops to start the operation. When the time comes, I will be the first to enter to determine the situation and eliminate threatening targets. Others will enter after getting my order."
Richard and Kalinin looked at each other and nodded at the same time, but Tessa suddenly stood up, put her hands on the chair and looked straight at Xiao Ran, and said firmly, "I want to go with you."
"Uh?" Xiao Ran was stunned, and Richard and Kalinin were also stunned.
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran with her red eyes. Although her voice was a little soft, her tone was very firm. "I want to go with you! I can't just watch you face threats because of our affairs. Even if it is a dangerous situation, I will face it with you."
Xiao Ran frowned. "Nonsense, this action is very dangerous, and I'm not doing it entirely for you."
What Xiao Ran said is the truth. His real target is actually those incomprehensible forces that appeared in the Mithril attack, that is, those Super Robot Mecha who belong to the participants. The biggest purpose of Xiao Ran is to destroy these machines with minimal damage and directly kill the pilots, and then use skills to recover these machines.
As for investigation or rescue, it's just a matter of convenience. Once Xiao Ran really goes to war with those Super Robot Mecha, naturally it will not ignore other targets that will affect the battle and be an eyesore.
Tessa heard Xiao Ran's rejection but did not give in at all. She bit her lower lip and said again, "I want to go with you. If you don't agree, I will never approve this action! Your body can seat two people, I believe you will be able to protect me."
Xiao Ran shook his head again. "Once I start fighting, your body will not be able to withstand such pressure. The anti-stress system of the machine is not perfect at all. Taking you with you is equivalent to taking you to death, and I will not agree to it."
But Tessa has even thought of a solution, "We have the best anti-pressure suits that can withstand deep-sea operations. Wearing the combat uniforms used in AS operations can offset a lot of pressure."
Xiao Ran was helpless and did not want to continue arguing with Tessa, a stubborn little girl, on this issue. Instead, he set his sights on Richard and Kalinin, hoping to let them persuade Tessa, but Tessa turned around and kicked them both, and stubbornly shouted, "I must go with him, I can't let him face such a threat alone!"
Richard looked at Tessa's appearance, sighed after a long time, and said to Xiao Ran, "Mr. Alex, then Colonel Tessa will leave it to you. If you encounter any danger, please give up the mission and come back safely."
Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't believe that Richard could actually say such a thing. Then he looked at Tessa's expression of "I win, you must agree, otherwise I will not agree to anything." She also scratched her hair a little frantically.
Tessa clearly wants to act with Xiao Ran no matter what. Unless Xiao Ran knocks her out and takes action on his own, this little follower may not be able to get rid of her. Even if Tessa is refused to board Variable Fighter, it will not stop Tessa from following the action team behind.
In this case, it would be safer on Variable Fighter, but the most critical problem is still that. Tessa's body cannot support Xiao Ran's fighting style. The instant burst and high-speed change of direction are enough to cause Tessa's body to suffer huge damage.
However, if because of this incident, Tessa loses her temper and goes against him in the future, it will be a waste not worth the gain if his idea of receiving the remaining power of Mithril is hindered. Xiao Ran immediately curled his lips, looked at Tessa fiercely, and said in his heart, "Little girl, let's see how I teach you a lesson in the future."
Xiao Ran nodded helplessly. "Okay, but you must obey me in everything. I will give you a better combat uniform. It's best to wear a stress-resistant suit as well."
"Yes!" Tessa stood up straight and saluted Xiao Ran, then stuck out her tongue and smiled at Xiao Ran. She put her hands behind her back and made a "yeah" gesture. Richard and Kalinin who saw this gesture could only shake their heads helplessly.
When Richard and Kalinin started making plans, Tessa also introduced everything about the Mithril headquarters to Xiao Ran in detail, so that Xiao Ran, who had never been to the Mithril headquarters, had a general image of it.
It didn't take long for Richard and Kalinin to finalize the combat plan and arrangements. They also told Xiao Ran several targets that must be investigated as a priority. They didn't say much else. The plan they made was not for Xiao Ran, so it was not possible to plan how Xiao Ran would fight and how many enemies in the headquarters base it could kill.
The plan they made includes the route of advancement, the route of retreat, the time of action, the details of rescue, etc., and they may not necessarily be able to apply this battle plan.
As soon as the plan came out, the entire Danner's Son became tense again, but strangely, the original heavy atmosphere dissipated a lot unconsciously, and everyone was filled with a sense of cleanliness. For this operation, Danner's Son will send a total of six ASs and corresponding transport helicopters, one cargo plane, and two fighter planes on standby at any time.
The last one was Variable Fighter, which was not entirely in the plan. Xiao Ran deliberately returned to Variable Fighter. When he appeared in front of Tessa again, he already had a set of dark blue Combat Suit with white stripes in his hand. It was exactly the same as the Combat Suit on Xiao Ran but with an extra pilot helmet.
Of course, this set of Combat Suit is not the Xiao Ran taken from Variable Fighter, but the Combat Suit that belongs to El-Elf taken from Storage Slot. It comes from Prometheus but is a gift from Luo. Although it has no value, it is still a pretty good Combat Suit. At least it is much better than the AS combat suits in this world.
It can fully support the normal operation of the Variable Fighter by a normal human body, and is even better than the load-resistant Combat Suit specially designed for Variable Fighter. With Tessa's physical fitness, although this thing on the ship is still a bit reluctant, it is almost enough if she wears a bloated anti-stress suit.
When everyone was ready to set off, Tessa, who was wearing a round black anti-stress suit and only put on the helmet given to her by Xiao Ran, awkwardly appeared in front of Xiao Ran with the support of Richard. Looking at Tessa's chubby appearance, Xiao Ran was also quite helpless, but she still sent Tessa to the position behind the cockpit.
After starting up the machine body, he completely turned off all controls for the rear driving. After waiting for the lift platform to send the machine body to the launch platform, he stepped on it with his feet and pushed it with his hands, controlling Variable Fighter to soar into the sky.
