The knock on the door interrupted what President Glass wanted to say. It was not until the butler entered the study, put down two cups of tea and left again that President Glass glanced at the tightly closed door and said to Xiao Ran, "That's right, it's the ship group led by the hero of the First War, Max Sterling."
Xiao Ran is a little confused. "Do they have the ability to fight against the earth alone?"
President Glass did not answer, but asked instead, "You should know about that ship group repelling Primal Demon."
Xiao Ran nodded. "I know roughly."
"Well, you should also know it from the internal data, right?" President Glass pondered and said, "Maybe I have lived long enough, so I know some things that are not in the Unified Army record data and do not match the data."
"The war between Seventh Fleet and Primal Demon was ultimately won by mankind and led to the emergence of Vocal Weapon. These things are correct. But the facts are also consistent with the records. There is a big difference. The process in the middle is not what the record says. Humanity has once again defeated an unknown threat. Under the leadership of the Earth Unified Army, Seventh Fleet won such a glorious victory bravely."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He knew a lot about this Seventh Fleet, but because it was so far away when he watched this animation, Xiao Ran couldn't remember many things so clearly, but he also remembered the crazy singer named Bashin, and the final victory.
Just listen to President Glass continue to say, "The real situation is that Primal Demon at that time was simply unable to resist. In order to delay time, Earth Unified Army ordered Seventh Fleet all ordered to attack the planet where Primal Demon is located, treating Seventh Fleet as an abandoned son, and did not even give Seventh Fleet a single soldier to die."
"Max Sterling, the supreme commander of Seventh Fleet, chose to follow the order of the Earth Unified Army. Seventh Fleet suffered huge losses at that station. But what people didn't expect was that the man named Basara appeared out of the sky, which eventually caused Primal Demon, who was already powerful enough to completely devour the galaxy, to actively stop fighting."
"And Seventh Fleet also completely severed all ties with the earth after that battle."
"Speaking of it, Seventh Fleet's experience was very similar to ours. They encountered Primal Demon, and we encountered Ancient God. They also gained peace in the battle. They were fighting We were abandoned during the battle, and we were regarded as a thorn in the side after the battle. Just like us, if there are bugs standing behind us, then Primal Demon is standing behind Seventh Fleet."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. He already understood what President Glass meant. "Great President, you think Seventh Fleet's experience is similar to ours, so it must be the same as ours." I feel the same way. If I can contact Seventh Fleet, I can not only get support from Seventh Fleet, but also get help from Primal Demon, the backer behind Seventh Fleet. Is this what you mean?"
"That's right." President Glass nodded and said, "It is precisely because there is Primal Demon behind Seventh Fleet that the earth turned a blind eye to Seventh Fleet. It was the same for us originally, but because of the short departure of the bugs, Earth Force finally decided to deal with us and gain the power of the bugs."
"And I believe that the earth will never continue to wait, because none of us can be sure when the bugs will come back, and what will Queen of the Bug Race be able to wake up. They will never let us delay."
The two words in President Glass's words definitely show that the current situation of the fleet is not optimistic. They also show the impatience of the earth. At the same time, they also remind Xiao Ran when the mission will be considered successful. Only when the queen of the bugs wakes up and the bugs return will the mission be considered completed.
Of course, Xiao Ran can also leave MDE Bomb behind to cause the end of the world on earth as mentioned before, or kill all Earth Unified Army's top executives or the supreme commander, forcing Earth Force to give up its peek at the power of bugs, but that might make the situation more complicated.
Several thoughts popped up in Xiao Ran's mind. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Then the President has now confirmed that he will never retreat, right?"
President Glass said in a deep voice, "Whether it is for the peace of this galaxy or for ourselves, we have no chance to retreat."
Xiao Ran asked again, "In addition to seeking support, President Glass, do you have any other ways to deal with it?"
"Now we can only try every means to delay until reinforcements from the border fleet and planets arrive, until Seventh Fleet is contacted or the bugs come back." President Glass exhaled and said, "This is the only thing we can do at the moment."
"I understand, then..." Xiao Ran nodded, stood up, and saluted President Glass: "Xiao Ran is reporting to you."
Xiao Ran is very smart. He did not directly tell Glass to hand over the army to me and I will be in charge of the army. Instead, he proposed in such a tactful way that he would join 25th Fleet again and let Glass arrange his position. Being too proactive might make Glass resentful, but if he uses such a tactful method, Xiao Ran believes that even if he cannot control the power as before, he can at least get most of the rights of the army.
"Okay, okay, okay." President Glass shouted three times in a row, and Lao Huai nodded happily. "I am very happy that you are still willing to stay in the ship group at this time. Thank you Xiao Ran, thank you for everything you have done for this ship group before. In this case, then you..."
"Dingle bell!"
The phone in the study suddenly rang, once again interrupting what President Glass wanted to say. President Glass immediately frowned and looked at the phone put down, waving his hand to Xiao Ran. After waiting for himself for a while, he walked over and picked up the phone. "I'm Glass... what... I know, let someone entertain them... Yes, but remember, you must keep an eye on these people and prohibit them from contacting anyone... Okay, I'll be right over."
When President Glass was on the phone, his face darkened when he heard the voice on the phone. He was obviously suppressing his anger while talking to the person on the phone. When he finally hung up the phone, he put the phone down heavily.
Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Glass took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said to Xiao Ran, "The people sent by Earth Force to take over the power of the military are here. A small fleet with Macross-class as the flagship is currently confronting the defense Unified Army in the universe. The commander of the other fleet proposed to let the special commissioner enter the fleet to meet with me in person."
Xiao Ran was a little surprised. "What? You sent someone here so soon? And with MACROSS-class Battleship as the flagship?"
President Glass picked up a cigar from the table and lit it. After taking two strong puffs, he put the cigar directly into the ashtray and then said to Xiao Ran, "Yes, this must be preparation for war. Xiao Ran, from now on you resume your duties, change your clothes and go with me to meet these people."
"I understand." Xiao Ran nodded heavily, thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I need to bring another person with me."
Glass nodded and waved his hand to Xiao Ran: "Go ahead, the place you lived in has been reserved for you. I will let someone inform you of the meeting place later, and I have to prepare it."
Xiao Ran nodded and left. Sheryl took Moses to S. M. S., so Xiao Ran could only find someone in the Presidential Palace to send him to the place where he lived before in this world. On the way, he contacted Cruze in the bridge of Archangel through a special communicator.
Cruze As soon as he answered the phone, he asked directly, "It seems that you have caused a big trouble. What, is there anything you need me to do?"
Xiao Ran held the team communicator produced by Prometheus. This communicator can contact anyone in the team within a certain range without interference. He said to Cruze on the other side, "Yes, is Billy with you?"
"Are you talking about the man who led us to park Archangel outside the huge ship?" Cruze asked back, and then said, "If it is this person, then yes, he is with us, in the bridge of Archangel."
"Ask him to bring you immediately to find me where I live." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he pondered again and added, "Bring Graham, Naluo and Mwu, tell Luo and Basak, let them be optimistic about Archangel, and then I will make other arrangements for them."
"Okay, I understand." After Cruze finished speaking, he hung up the communicator directly, and Xiao Ran just arrived at his destination. After asking the driver to wait below, Xiao Ran walked directly onto the familiar corridor and entered the house where he had lived for a while.
The interior of the house had not changed at all from the way it looked in Xiao Ran's memory. He touched the place he passed by with his hand and found that it was clean and not even a trace of dust. Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded slightly and walked into his bedroom. The inside was also tidy and spotless, which made people feel quite comfortable.
He took out the Unified Army defense military uniform from the closet, and Xiao Ran put it on decisively. He didn't feel any nostalgia or memories, and stood in the room calmly after changing his clothes. In front of the mirror inside, he looked at himself in the mirror and felt that something was still missing. After frowning, Xiao Ran smiled softly. A white mask appeared in his hand and was gently put on his face.
"That's what's missing."
