"Want to hear the details."
Mannheim's attitude seemed to be very respectful, at least in front of people like Xiao Ran. He didn't know why but he felt a little weak. Even when Xiao Ran said that you couldn't get Box of Laplace even if you came, they didn't draw their guns. This is an intuition that comes from having survived countless dangers. Once you draw your gun, you will die.
This is completely different from the normal situation. In the original plot, Mannheim drew his gun on Ladias, but now he is very stable.
Xiao Ran asked, "Do you still have the ability to continue fighting Federation head-on?"
Mannheim was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Although we are very reluctant to admit it, we do not have the ability to fight Federation head-on, but for Federation, we will also be enemies that they must pay attention to."
Xiao Ran said, "Then if you can get some support, for example, if you can get the colonies in the universe to recognize your display and join together to oppose Federation, then I can give this to you, And if you can make a little noise next, like a spark igniting a prairie fire, and make something come out of the scandal between Federation and the colony, I can also give you some additional armed support."
"New mechas and weapons will be delivered to you in large quantities. After all, even Anaheim dare not sell things to you openly now, but I dare. In the future, Anaheim will be fully taken over by me. Whether it is Zeon, Federation or anyone else, I will provide you with the latest weapons as the most perfect weapons merchant."
"And it's not easy for you now. The limitations are too great and you no longer have strong enough supporters. The military has also fallen behind. Even the Zeon remnants of Mars and Jupiter have been separated. There is no one who can stand up and have strong influence to reintegrate you. But the most important thing is that even if you have this person, she has no such idea, and there is no strong person behind her to support you."
"I can support you, and Bist Family can also stand up and support you."
Cardias had no expression at first, but when Xiao Ran mentioned his family, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ran, his eyes full of question marks, "When did I say such a thing?"
Mannheim glanced at Cardias, who was confused, and then at Xiao Ran. After knowing that this place was now completely in charge of Xiao Ran, he also chose to nod and asked, "What do we need to do with the latter one?"
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "If you don't do anything, Minerva should not be married yet. Even if he is married, it must be treated as not. I make the decision here to let Minerva marry Cardias's son. Banagher·Bister, the Zabi family family and Bist Family are joining forces, isn't it a very interesting thing, and Minerva also has the strongest supporter."
Cardias and Mannheim looked at Xiao Ran at the same time, with expressions on their faces like they were crazy. "You make the decision?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Cardias with a half-smile, "Cardias, do you want to object? Your son likes Minerva very much."
Cardias opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He just shook his head, but his brows wrinkled slightly, Marry? Not to marry? No matter if you marry him, Bist Family is probably already a traitor in the eyes of Federation anyway. Although there is a Xiao Ran in front of him who can fool him, but he fell in love with Xiao Ran How can a pirate ship jump off so easily? Marrying a fait accompli does not seem to have such a big impact. On the contrary, it will make Federation have more worries and dare not take action against Bist Conglomerate and Anaheim easily.
If they refuse, Banagher will definitely think about it day and night, and will this lunatic really give them the right to choose? That's probably not the case.
Mannheim felt that this seemed to be a good thing, but he couldn't make the decision about Minerva at all. He could only say, "I need to go back and report this matter to my superiors."
"Let them make the decision?" Xiao Ran glanced at Mannheim and stood up, walked to Mannheim in a hurry and bent down slightly. "You have to understand one thing, Zeon is a Zeon that can only be led by Zabi family, Minerva can She is the last bloodline of Zabi family, the princess of all of you. What qualifications do you, as subordinates, have to make decisions for Minerva? What's more, although Minerva is a bit stupid and can't understand the situation, do you just regard her as a card, or do you really recognize her as a princess?"
Mannheim leaned back slightly, wanting to escape the pressure Xiao Ran brought to him, but Mannheim didn't know how to answer Xiao Ran's question.
After a pause, Mannheim said, "In that case, even if we are not qualified to make the decision for her, are you qualified to do so?"
Xiao Ran smiled faintly, "Of course I am not qualified. I am not her father."
"But these are not important. What is really important is that I can help you, I can help Minerva, and more importantly, I have power, a power that none of you can resist. Since you need my help and can't resist me, you can only agree to my arrangement."
The door to the living room was suddenly pushed open, and the blond-haired Mineva walked away with a frown on her face, while Banagher stood outside the door with Harrow in his arms and an awkward look on his face, not knowing how to deal with himself.
Minerva walked in and looked at Xiao Ran: "Who are you and what qualifications do you have to make decisions for me? Why do you want to introduce Zeon and Federation into the war!"
Xiao Ran looked at Minerva and shook his head slightly. "If Char were still alive, he would probably be very disappointed to see you like this. He obviously only wants you to be an ordinary girl, because he has long seen that You haven't shouldered the responsibility of Zeon at all, but you have to take the initiative to get involved in such a troublesome situation. Why do you think you can still stand here just because you have the blood of Zabi family."
"If you are just an ordinary person, then you are not qualified to stand in front of me. But now that you are standing in front of me, because of the blood flowing in your body, you must accept the responsibility that this blood brings to you and reshape Zeon's glory instead of letting the current Zeon linger under the oppression of Federation."
Xiao Ran reached out and tapped Minerva, and said, "But what can you do now? What can you do? Can you make Zeon stronger or can you make the world continue to maintain peace? You can't do anything. "In addition to your body and the meaning it represents, the most appropriate thing for you to do is to marry Banagher and use Bist Family's influence to make Zeon better, but not to make Zeon go in the wrong direction again."
"Marrying Banagher is the most correct choice for both of you now that you are facing the joint oppression of Federation. I can not decide for anyone, but you seem to have no other choice."
Minerva looked at Xiao Ran, then at Mannheim: "No, I have other choices. Zeon can no longer face a war. It will only make Zeon's situation more difficult than before. The peace that was finally obtained cannot be broken because of people like you."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. "You are really a staunch supporter of Peace Faction, but peace is never given by others but earned by yourself."
"You are just evading your responsibilities. What is peace now? Is peace without war? For this kind of peace, you just watch the humans living in the universe accept endless oppression from Federation? Is this peace? You just ignore the pain of the residents of the universe just for the falseness you see now, and the operation of the entire world does not follow your will."
Minerva didn't even look at Banagher. Xiao Ran suddenly felt that the NT-D system should not be called NT-D, but should be called NT-R. It seemed more appropriate?
Banagher was a little disappointed when he saw the background of Minerva. The hand holding Haro unconsciously became harder. He took a deep breath and walked into the room actively, standing side by side next to Minerva, looking at Xiao Ran very seriously.
"Lord Xiao Ran, before you asked me if I would like to learn MS Piloting from you and become the pilot of a certain machine. I didn't answer at the time but now I think I have the answer. Yes, I am willing. I need strength. I need strength to protect everything I want to protect. I want to protect Bist Family, my father, and myself from being despised by anyone. I, I... I also want to protect Audrey."
"Banagher?" Minerva turned to look at the boy beside him. The boy who rescued him from the satellite and brought him to the Bist Family's mansion suddenly felt a little complicated.
Xiao Ran looked at Banagher and shook his head gently. "If my nephew was led by a woman like you, his face would probably be swollen. The other party has clearly expressed his dislike for you."
Banagher lowered his head nervously. "She is the princess of Zeon, I am just an ordinary person..."
Xiao Ran nodded lightly. "Okay, three months, within three months I will train him to become a pilot of the same level as Amuro Char, but you have to believe in yourself that you have talents that even your father has never known. Newtype is the most powerful Newtype since Newtype was recorded in history. You have such potential."
"If Newtype is divided into ten levels, then you have the ability to reach level ten. Kamille The Z Gundam pilot was estimated to be at level nine when he was most powerful. Amuro and Char burst out at level seven and also had level nine, but he They also sacrificed their lives, but you are different. You will be the most powerful Newtype in history. You will truly be able to change the future and regain true peace in this world. Compared with what others think of you as Box of Laplace, I actually think you deserve this title."
After saying this, Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It will be very difficult next time, are you ready?"
Banagher unconsciously glanced at Minerva beside him. When he saw Minerva looking at him, his face immediately turned red. He nodded to Xiao Ran as if he had been given a shot of blood. "I'm ready."
"Xinye." Xiao Ran looked out the door. After Xinye walked in, Xiao Ran said to Xinye: "Test this little guy. You will be responsible for his physical training."
Shinno nodded, looked at Banagher, a boy who was no longer a stranger on the other hand, and said, "You are still far behind now. Another person I know already had the power to pilot a single machine against a fleet when he was younger than you. Come with me, and I will train you well."
Xinye took Banagher away, but Cardias didn't even say a word during this process. The emotions revealed in his eyes were extremely complicated, including relief, depression, sadness, and helplessness.
After Banagher left, Xiao Ran looked at Minerva again. "To be honest, I actually don't like your bloodline, and I don't think your identity can be used as a magic card. I am willing to communicate with you just for the sake of that child."
"Let me remind you, the so-called peace you want to maintain is just to turn on the switch that can be used as catharsis now. Sooner or later, the blocked pipe will explode because of your current behavior, creating a more terrifying explosion and triggering a larger war."
Minerva seemed to sense the subtext of Xiao Ran. Was he saying that he was not worthy of that boy?
Xiao Ran ignored Minerva's inner thoughts and said directly, "Next, you will stay here and cultivate a good relationship with Banagher. If you want peace, you have to learn to give. You can't buy peace with just a mouth without giving anything. Do you think you, me, can deter all forces? Just say a few words and others will bow their waists for you to control?"
Minerva stared at Xiao Ran: "Why do you want to cause a war, why do you want to involve Zeon too!"
"Her Highness the Princess." Mannheim finally couldn't help but speak and said, "It's not that he wants to involve Zeon, but that Zeon has always been in the vortex of war and has never escaped. If it weren't for the current Zeon Army has always been a deterrent to Federation. Without the sacrifices of so many Zeon people, the current Zeon Autonomous State would have ceased to exist, and now you have become a prisoner of Federation."
"Your current life and Zeon's autonomy are all earned by countless soldiers like us who sacrificed their lives. Only when we are stronger can Zeon be freer. Only people with noble status like you can live more comfortably. Don't forget that everything you have now is mine. We paid for it with our lives! The loyalty we paid was given to Zabi family, but not to your Highness Minerva. Just because you have the blood of the Zabi family family, you are the one we want to protect and be loyal to now."
"It seems there is someone who understands here." Xiao Ran glanced at Mannheim with some surprise and said, "This little girl is a bit ignorant. After all, she was still young and the education she received was inappropriate, but now she has this yearning for peace and it deserves recognition."
Mannheim looked at Xiao Ran: "No matter what, Mr. Xiao Ran I will go back and report your proposal to my superior, but can I ask Mr. Xiao Ran what the purpose of your doing this is."
Xiao Ran smiled, "What I have to do now is to make this explosion happen in advance and control the explosion within a certain range. Anyway, the conflict between Zeon and Federation will break out sooner or later. You have your demands and I have my own goals. As for whether I can achieve my goals and whether you can complete your demands, it depends on who has better means next, but this does not affect our cooperation."
"My short-term goal is to attack Federation, which is the same as yours, but I won't say what the long-term goal is. Except that the final winner will not be Federation, it will be me or you in the end. Now there is an excellent opportunity. Federation has sent Rondo Bell Unit over. I hope you Zeon can send troops to solve this team."
