Tessa didn't realize what kind of question she asked, but the most important thing was what position she stood in asking such a question.
Questions from people on earth about Frie? If this is the case, it means that Tessa does not regard Frie as a member of Earth Sphere at all, but still holds that Frie appears on the earth as an invader. This position is actually the opposite position to Xiao Ran.
But the current situation is somewhat different. PLANT supports Free's integration into the earth, Orb supports Free's integration into the earth, and there are also pro-PLANT national forces, including many Neutral Countries forces headed by Orb. With the promotion of these national forces, it can be said that Frie is a member of Earth Sphere. It has become a mainstream consciousness.
But it is precisely the United side that has the opposite attitude. Some people with extreme ideas also have the same ideas as the United, and these are unsurprisingly Free's enemies. Now that Tessa asks such a question, it seems that she is putting herself on the hostile side of Free.
Melissa·Mao knew that Tessa definitely didn't mean it when she asked this question. She just wanted to know Free's true attitude towards the earth, but Melissa·Mao didn't know whether Xiao Ran and the others thought so.
Not only Melissa·Mao, Yurika Mitotsudaira also had a surprised expression on his face after hearing Tessa's question. He looked at Xiao Ran who was silent, and then at Tessa who looked serious. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He just made up his mind that if Xiao Ran got into trouble, he must explain something to this cute little girl.
On the contrary, Ruri Hoshino, the last person in the room, nodded to Tessa's words. Ruri Hoshino is also a person with high IQ. In terms of emotional intelligence, she actually feels similar to Tessa. The key is that she is dissatisfied that Xiao Ran likes Tessa very much, so she has never thought about the things that Melissa is worried about.
But no one in the room knew that Xiao Ran knew Tessa far beyond their imagination. They knew exactly what kind of person Tessa was. She was serious at work, ignorant in life, with high IQ and low EQ. She was a stubborn but shy person, but she was also a little girl who took life seriously and hoped that there would be no war and destruction in the world.
So regarding Tessa's words, in fact Xiao Ran himself had not thought about it in any other direction. His silence at this time was just thinking about whether to tell Tessa Free, Orb, PLANT's future arrangements.
Although it has been spread in a certain circle that New Government will be established after the Earth Alliance is solved, the only cases involving more aspects are Xiao Ran, Patrick, and Siegel, Asaha and other very few people know about it. As for Tessa, Xiao Ran also knows that this girl has some stubbornness. If she can't explain it clearly to her, Mithril may be separated from Apocalypse Unit in the future.
Of course, Xiao Ran is not afraid of the estrangement. This Tessa and the Tessa in the Full Metal Panic world are not the same person. Even Tessa Xiao Ran in the Mecha Wars V world can deal with it normally, not to mention the third Tessa in this world who has no contact or relationship. It can only be said that Aiwujiwu is not willing to deceive or hurt this girl.
Xiao Ran's silence also made the atmosphere in the room a little deeper, and Tessa didn't realize until this moment that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, but even so, she still stared at Xiao Ran with stubborn eyes, looking forward to Xiao Ran's answer.
"Captain Testarossa, Free has always been a member of the Earth. There is no question of how Free will treat the Earth after wiping out the Alliance." Xiao Ran said, and also looked at Tessa, who looked stubborn, and said, "Rather, it should be how Free, PLANT, and Orb will rebuild the world after the Union is wiped out."
Xiao Ran Although he said that there was no such problem, he actually gave Tessa an accurate answer, rebuild.
As for how to rebuild, such as the disbandment of the army, the composition of New Government, etc., that involves a lot of interest issues, and will definitely hinder the interests of some people who currently support them, so these things cannot be said.
But if Xiao Ran can take Mithril for his own use, then Xiao Ran is willing to tell more things to Tessa. However, Xiao Ran also knows that this cannot be done in a short time, and it is not something Tessa can do. However, Mithril has appeared now, and Xiao Ran really wants to have a good communication with Mithril's upper management.
But Xiao Ran still reminded Tessa: "If Mithril is willing to cooperate, you can ask your superiors to contact Free, PLANT or Orb directly. I can also say one more thing here. In a sentence, after the alliance is over, we will start to use all our strength to deal with the various threats that are emerging in the world, and use war to completely make them leave or disappear, and will never allow uncontrolled armed forces to appear again in Earth Sphere."
Xiao Ran's tone was quite gentle. Yurika Mitotsudaira and Melissa·Mao who were standing aside breathed a sigh of relief. Yurika Mitotsudaira seemed to still want to talk when he saw Tessa, so he took a step directly to block Tessa. He laughed awkwardly and said to Xiao Ran, "Lord Xiao Ran seems to be coming to Nadeshiko for the first time this time. Now that we have finished talking, Captain Tessa happens to be here too, so I will take you to visit Nadeshiko first."
With that said, Yurika Mitotsudaira turned and looked at Tessa again and said, "After all, we will be operating together for a while in the future, and both sides need to be more familiar. It is better to gather all the combatants together so that everyone can get to know each other and develop some tacit understanding."
"Okay." Tessa nodded, stood up and bent towards Yurika Mitotsudaira: "I'd like to ask Captain Yurika to take care of me next."
"Hahaha." Yurika Mitotsudaira put his head on his hips and laughed, saying, "Of course, hahaha."
Xiao Ran rubbed his aching temples, shook his head and stood up and said, "Okay, let's get everyone familiar with it now, and by the way, notify Apocalypse Unit to hurry them over."
After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Ruri Hoshino again. "Forget it, Ruri Hoshino, take me to the bridge. I want to contact Orb, PLANT, and Free."
Ruri Hoshino nodded, turned around without saying a word and took Xiao Ran out of Captain's Room. Yurika Mitotsudaira, who seemed to be ignored by Xiao Ran, twitched his eyebrows twice. He forced Tessa and Melissa·Mao to start their visit to the battleship while maintaining a smile.
