The first informal talks between the three parties ended like this. The appearance of Kim and Goodman seemed to be just to serve as an outpost for their country before the formal talks started. They raised the demands in a less formal occasion, perhaps because they wanted to put some pressure on UNION.
As for the rest, although the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces are now about to fall apart, they have not been officially disbanded after all. What's more, with the strength shown by Tianren, Humanity Federation, AEU, and even the UNION where Xiao Ran is located cannot be underestimated. Under the current circumstances, it is still very necessary to temporarily maintain this joint action force.
However, because of this huge loss, the team must be re-expanded. How much do the three major countries have to pay for this team? Does Command Authority need to re-accept its fate? This is also the second important purpose of Jin and Goodman's appearance here, and it is also what they really need to deal with.
At the end of the meeting, Xiao Ran did not make any promises to the two of them, and Jin and Goodman were not in a hurry. After all, in the eyes of the two of them, this coalition force can be regarded as the real predecessor of the Earth Force team. If UNION withdraws, there will naturally be nothing to talk about later.
After Lieutenant Colonel Rodia left with King and Goodman, Xiao Ran turned to look at Graham, who had been sitting silently, and asked, "Graham, what do you think?"
Graham frowned and said, "From a simple point of view, the formation of the Earth Force team seems to be imperative, and with this team, the connection between the three countries will become closer. In a sense, it seems that many disputes have truly disappeared because of this, and the purpose of the gods is one step closer."
"But on the other hand, the completion of Tri-Nation Allied Forces will definitely be supported by the three countries. With the backing of the three countries, it goes without saying that this team will develop in the future. It may become the most powerful, best-equipped, and most powerful force on earth. The existence of this team will definitely pose a great threat to heavenly beings."
Having said this, Graham looked at Xiao Ran and said meaningfully, "Then, who should be responsible for the Command Authority of this team will be very worthy of discussion. After all, different commanders will bring different things to this team, and it may take a long time to discuss."
"Haha." Xiao Ran nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but I think even if UNION gets Command Authority, I'm afraid they won't be responsible for it. To be honest, I don't have any idea about this team's Command Authority."
"Me too, I don't want to join such a team at all." Graham stood up, walked to Xiao Ran with a serious face, saluted Xiao Ran with a military salute, and said in a deep voice, "General, although the failure of this operation I don't think it has anything to do with me, but we have always done something disgraceful. I beg the general to punish us and expel us from the army."
Xiao Ran glanced at Graham, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Graham nodded heavily. "Yes, General. We must be responsible for what we do."
Xiao Ran sighed, stood up and patted Graham on the shoulder. "I have wronged you."
Graham shook his head and smiled, "No, I don't feel aggrieved, but I feel that I have gained freedom and can finally do what I really want to do."
Xiao Ran pressed Graham's shoulder. "I understand."
After coming out of the conference room, Xiao Ran returned to his office alone, where he contacted the president of UNION and told him what Humanity Federation and AEU had proposed, and also asked him whether it was right. He asked for instructions on replenishing the current three-nation joint team, and informed the president that due to the pursuit of Humanity Federation and AEU, all Gundam Special Investigation Team, headed by Graham, had resolutely resigned.
The president in the video kept dragging his chin with his hands and listened to Xiao Ran's story attentively. It was not until Xiao Ran finished speaking that he nodded slightly, "I will let other people take over what Humanity Federation and the AEU have proposed. You have done a good job without making any promises to them. As for the issue of re-expansion of this joint action force, we cannot delay it."
"You are solely responsible for this matter. We will support you if you need it. As for the Gundam Special Investigation Team, even if you have wronged them, after getting them medals of honor, find a suitable reason to let them leave decently."
"Okay, I get it."
After the communication hung up, Xiao Ran contacted Japanese Special Economic Zone headquarters and asked Colonel Jett to arrange matters for Graham and others.
The very next day, when Xiao Ran once again attended the negotiation meeting with Humanity Federation and AEU on the replenishment of the joint combat force, Graham also quietly disappeared into UNION's Sky Ladder Orbit with more than ten members of the original Gundam Special Investigation Force, officially leaving the army, and in the future he would use his identity as a god to participate in the war.
There was no big problem with supplementing the team. Perhaps in order to gain more say in the formal formation of the real army later, Jin and Goodman were also willing to make more contributions to this team, and then agreed to temporarily expand the team to 300 MS, each occupying one-third.
And just as Xiao Ran reported the results and started to deal with the matter, a negotiation meeting about the coalition forces was also secretly going on somewhere in AEU, and at the same time, a new plan for Yu Tianren was started.
Time passed slowly. During this period, a violent conflict between the reformers and conservatives broke out in Azadistan, a small country in the Middle East. Although Sashers was not involved, the leader of the conservatives was also kidnapped by unknown people, and was finally saved by heaven. Before the real armed conflict broke out, Azadistan was reunited again.
But a piece of news once again caused the world's media to start chasing. It also made the heavenly beings who had reunited on the earth fall into deep thinking and uneasiness. Especially Miss Huang is also in extreme contradiction.
This news was released by the national news agencies of the three countries. It was concise and clear. Although the focus of the report was slightly different, the core content of the report was exactly the same.
In the near future, the three major countries will conduct a joint military exercise in Taklimakan, at which time the three countries will dispatch their own new mobile suits.
Just such a piece of news has caused news media all over the world to start special reports, and various comments and analyzes have flooded TV programs or the Internet. As for the Earth Force performance this time, in the eyes of many people, it is more of a last resort move by the forces of the Three Kingdoms in order to deal with the gods, and the so-called new machine has also aroused discussions around the world.
When Xiao Ran saw this news, he frowned without any trace. As for this military exercise, he, currently one of the three chief officers of United Forces, actually saw it from the news, which was also quite unreasonable. However, this can also explain another problem. UNION really has no intention of letting Xiao Ran continue to serve as the chief official here, and it is in line with Xiao Ran's thoughts.
So when UNION issued a new order, asking Xiao Ran to order the troops to go to Taklimakan to prepare and hand over team Command Authority, Xiao Ran cooperated very well and handed over Command Authority, and went back to Japanese Special Economic Zone, but it seemed to be to make up for Xiao Ran, Command Authority UNION of Sky Ladder Orbit was not taken back, and continued to be listed in the name of Xiao Ran.
After returning to Japanese Special Economic Zone, Xiao Ran did not go back to the headquarters immediately. Instead, he went to a single-family luxury mansion near the coastline, where he found the treasure that had descended from the universe. Miss Huang, Setsuna and other members of Ptolemaios came, and even Sheryl and Wang Liu Mei were here at this time.
As for the red dragon who acts as the bodyguard of Wang Liu Mei, as expected, he is also here.
This place was purchased by Wang Liu Mei, and is temporarily used as Command Post for heavenly beings on earth. Because it is a single household, there is no problem with privacy. In the basement of this foreign-style building, everything needed for combat is also placed, and five Gundams are sleeping quietly under the seabed not far away.
After Xiao Ran came here, he first hugged Sheryl, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and then took Sheryl's hand and followed Miss Huang and others into the living room of the western-style building.
Before Xiao Ran could sit down, Miss Huang asked Xiao Ran in the living room where everyone was gathered, "Alex, what is going on with this exercise."
Xiao Ran groaned and said, "This exercise should be to lay the foundation for an army that will be jointly formed by the three countries. Needless to say, the purpose is to deal with the threats brought by heaven and humans. Moreover, I did not know about the decision to conduct the exercise earlier than you. I also only found out about it after seeing it in the news."
"I also handed over the Command Authority of the Joint Special Operations Team. I also know nothing about the exercise plan, but what is certain is that the three parties will invest at least more than 300 mobile suits in this military exercise, as well as many new models. Moreover, this exercise should also be held to target the Celestial Beings. I believe there must be some conspiracy in it. If the Celestial Beings intervene, we may encounter a very dangerous situation."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he looked at Miss Huang and continued, "Of course, as for whether to intervene, Miss Huang will be decided by you. Even if you decide to intervene, I will drive Gundam Kyrios to fight."
Haha, I took a break when I finished writing the second chapter. Who knew I fell asleep until 12:30? Sorry, sorry
