"Artesia..." Char frowned and the name flashed in his mind, and a beautiful girl with golden hair also appeared. The person he cared about most in the world was also his only relative.
But although Char cares about Artesia, it does not mean that Artesia can influence Char's decisions and behaviors. In some respects, Char is actually a very selfish person., will not be easily influenced by others to do anything. Even if Xiao Ran tells Char Artesia is in his hands, Char will not be threatened by Xiao Ran.
No one can stop him from what he wants to do, and no one can urge him to do what he doesn't want to do. He will not change anything because of Artesia, and it is even more impossible to decide to join the illusory dream described by Xiao Ran just for this reason.
A sharp look flashed past. Char was so calm that he had no expression. He looked at Xiao Ran on the screen and asked, "A hostage? A partner?"
"There are no hostages. If you want, I can hand her over to you at any time." Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders freely and said to Char, "Just to show you our sincerity."
Char fell silent. If Xiao Ran really wanted to hand over Artesia to him, it would still be a trouble for him, because with his current status, there is no way to properly place Artesia, as long as he takes her with him Appearing in Zeon will definitely attract the attention of some caring people. If this is the case, it is better to let Artesia temporarily follow the person named Alex. After all, this Alex is also quite powerful, enough to protect the safety of his sister.
After a while, Char suddenly shook his head. "I will not join you. Your plan is too risky. The possibility of success is not high and it takes time. Once successful, it will become the enemy of the world. The most important thing is the attitude of Earth Federation. I don't think they will support a force that can go against them."
Xiao Ran suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said, "Actually, among all the steps, Earth Federation's attitude is the best to control. Of course, based on Earth Federation's current level of decay, once the war between the two sides ends, Earth Federation will probably become even more chaotic, so your worries are meaningless."
"Although the plan seems risky, all the processes are under my control. You can rest assured. And these are only the first step of the plan. There will be a second step of the plan. If the second step is completed, Earth Federation Army will suffer a devastating blow, and Zeon will also gain the possibility of true autonomy and independence under your leadership. Isn't this what your father Mr. Deikun hopes for most?"
Char's expression still hasn't changed, but he is also thinking about the possibilities in the plan mentioned by Xiao Ran. According to the first step plan mentioned by Xiao Ran, contact the former It is not difficult for Daiken family diehards and those who are still looking forward to Daiken family to reappear to lead Zeon. And judging from Zeon's current situation, there are actually many people who are secretly opposed to Zabi family.
After organizing these people, he personally went to the Earth Federation Army headquarters in person, or went to find Revil, who was quite prestigious among Earth Federation, to reveal his identity. It might be possible that he would get the secret support of Earth Federation, but in Char's view, if Earth Force had the advantage at that time If he is evenly matched with the Zeon Army, it is more likely that he will announce that Daiken family's son is Char, and then 'protect' him, in order to set a benchmark and cause chaos within the Zeon Army, or make some people in the Zeon Army choose to surrender to Earth Federation.
Of course, it is also possible that, as Xiao Ran said, Earth Federation kept his identity secret, let him go back to Zeon, and secretly gave him great support until he completely subverted Zabi family.
It is because Earth Force can choose, and there are two completely different consequences after the choice, and Char is not sure which one the other party will choose, Char feels that Xiao Ran's plan is quite risky, and the possibility of success and failure is not half, but if it fails, Char will face permanent custody. This kind of risk is simply not worth it.
And another point, even if the plan is successful, if all the materials needed to subvert Zabi family are provided by the Earth Federation Army, then he will also be pinched by the Earth Federation Army and become Earth Federation Army's puppet, until Zeon was suppressed and occupied by Earth Federation, Char had no strength to resist Earth Force to fulfill his father's last wish and make Zeon truly independent.
"I still refuse." Char calmly rejected Xiao Ran again and said, "You want to convince me just based on your words. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded unhurriedly, smiled slightly and continued, "But if, I mean if, when you gain your own power and have enough manpower and resources, one can crush all the mobile suits currently manufactured by Zeon, including when the MS technology being developed by Earth Federation appears."
"When you create a product that surpasses the MS technology generation in this world, and create a lot of quantities, then do you still think that the probability of success of the plan will be very low? This is my second step plan, to secretly establish our own MS Unit, and at the critical time, unify all Earth Federation Army Attack a military base with a large-scale MS presence, weaken Earth Federation's power, and then stand up and completely defeat Earth Federation. I can swear on my life that as long as I can complete my plan, Zeon will definitely gain independence and gain the power to truly compete with the Earth Federation Army."
Xiao Ran said, raised his hand, pinched a data storage device between his thumb and index finger, and shook it slightly. "You can believe that I have the technology in my hand that surpasses the MS generation in this world, and you can also question that everything I say is a lie, but I want to tell you one last time, what I have in my hands is absolutely beyond your imagination."
"And if you choose to refuse, then I will immediately break your body and hand you over to Earth Federation as a certificate of surrender, so that you can directly enter the middle level of Earth Federation, and use the technology in my hands to climb to the top. Then I can still complete my plan, end the war in this world, and completely change the world. But before that, I'm afraid I have to force you to become a vegetative state or brain-dead."
"You can take my words as a threat. Now I count to three and you can make a choice."
Xiao Ran looked at Char who had a bad look on his face. He didn't need Artesia to threaten him because although Char cared about his sister, he would not make any changes because of her. But if Char threatens him himself, then if Char is not willing to be imprisoned by Earth Federation, he will either choose to die together or agree to Xiao Ran's request without any third option.
"One."
Char clenched his fists, with a trace of anger on his face.
"Two."
"I promise." Char smiled bitterly. Before Xiao Ran could count to three, he decided to join Xiao Ran's plan because he could feel that everything Xiao Ran told him was the truth. It's a bit false, which means that if he doesn't agree, Xiao Ran will really arrest him and give him to the Earth Federation Army, and in order to ensure that he doesn't leak out Xiao Ran's plan, it is inevitable that he will become a vegetative state or brain-dead.
There may be some anger, but Char is not a person who blames himself or hates others when he is not strong enough. After making up his mind, everything is not as difficult to accept as imagined. Instead, he feels that Xiao Ran's plan seems to be more feasible than his own, and Char is also very curious about the data storage device in Xiao Ran's hand, and what kind of technology it contains that transcends generations.
"Then you are welcome to join us." Xiao Ran smiled at Char and said, "In order to ensure our confidentiality, please cooperate with us to put on a good show."
"Of course." Char exhaled gently and said, "How can I cooperate?"
Xiao Ran looked at the countdown time of the mission, and said with an inexplicable smile on his face, "We will start attacking the satellite in two hours. At that time, I will take White Base out of the satellite. You can choose to chase us, or you can stay and destroy the satellite, and then we will make contact."
"By the way, there is another person in the satellite who holds the development data of the current three new Prototype Machine. That will be a great threat to us."
Char saw the smile on the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth. The inexplicable feeling seemed to be telling Char that you can completely destroy the satellite to hide our secrets. Char is not a merciful person. How can a person who can throw garbage into the universe be merciless? Maybe he has his kindness, but this is a war, and a war in which you can use any means to win.
Although there are many civilians in the satellite, so many have died in the war. Whether it is Earth Federation or Zeon, no one will be able to stop them.
Although Xiao Ran doesn't want to go too far, Xiao Ran has to be careful about the subsequent actions. Only when the satellite is destroyed and all the people inside are dead can Xiao Ran become completely invisible. Earth Federation won't be worried about Earth Federation just because he snatched Earth Federation's three Gundams this time.
But it was difficult for him to bypass the hurdle in his mind and fire on civilians without weapons. He deluded himself and hoped that Char would do it for him. Moreover, because there would be several key people on White Base, Xiao Ran did not want to look like an executioner in their eyes and lose the possibility of cooperation.
However, even if Char does not choose to destroy the satellite, the impact on Xiao Ran is actually not as big as imagined, and Xiao Ran has another way to complete the disappearance. At that time, as long as Char cooperates, although it is a roundabout way, it actually has the same effect.
Char nodded silently, glanced at the smile on the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth, smiled lightly, and said, "I also need you to deal with the pilot from before."
"I understand." Xiao Ran and Char looked at each other, and a tacit understanding suddenly appeared between the two. After laughing at the same time, Xiao Ran grasped the operating rod of the Gundam with both hands again. "Then you will launch the attack in two hours, and then make contact. If the people on your ship are trustworthy, there will be no problem for me to enter your ship."
Char shook his head. "No, we will meet on the moon, help me take her with me."
"In that case." Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Then next time you chase us, you'd better go out wearing Combat Suit, and I will give you a special contact device for us."
Char nodded, Xiao Ran also operated the Gundam to release Zaku II, backed away slowly, then turned around and accelerated towards the satellite. And Char's Zaku II also turned on its thrusters and flew in the direction of its own battleship after Xiao Ran's body left.
The reappearance of Gundam Unit 1 and the direct entry of Gnakuri into the battleship made many people who saw this scene breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone in Spaceport could not see the situation outside the satellite, but the return of the MS meant that the MS outside had been repelled, which meant that the people inside the satellite were still safe, which naturally made them relax.
During the time when Xiao Ran left and entered White Base for the first time, El-Elf had already arranged many things, such as moving Captain Jeffrey was arranged to be Warship Command, because he said that Captain Jeffrey had been the captain of a certain battleship before, and Bridge Trio was also assigned to the bridge.
In addition, some people chose to leave the battleship. Although they entered impulsively, after El-Elf once again stated what he and others were going to do and the possible consequences, some people chose to leave. In the end, only more than a hundred people remained on the ship.
Among the more than a hundred people, El-Elf divided all the people into groups. All groups were divided according to some rules set by El-Elf, ensuring that each group would have people belonging to its own team. At the same time, there were also other arrangements to allow participants hidden in the crowd to act in minutes.
After Xiao Ran parked the machine and entered another Gnaku that currently only had a crowd, he also carefully took the personnel list from El-Elf and glanced at the members on the personnel list. When he saw a few names, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then nodded again.
