Char It is hard to imagine that human beings can evolve to the point of possessing all kinds of different superpowers. It is like making a movie, full of an inexplicable sense of science fiction from beginning to end, but what Xiao Ran said is actually not entirely a lie. Newtype does have terrifying abilities, but it only needs Psycho-frame System as an assistant. Even Xiao Ran, a revolutionary, cannot do such things as pushing satellites, but Newtype can.
Compared with the pure spiritual orientation of the reformer, Newtype's ability can be transformed from spiritual to physical, and there is even the possibility of developing into a mysterious direction, absorbing souls to strengthen itself, and communicating with souls that have been dead for who knows how many years. At least the ability of the reformer cannot do these.
But in terms of pure spirituality and self-strengthening, the reformers have an absolute advantage.
In the end, Char agreed with Xiao Ran's statement, but the two discussed for a long time how many people should be brought out.
In fact, Xiao Ran doesn't have any special opinions in this regard. Anyway, he has decided to bring all the participants with him this time. However, those who follow him to participate in the mission of Zabi family only need to bring Saki Maski and El-Elf, the two demons who are not afraid of getting hurt, Skull Squadron, these members who have C-class Pilot's normal attributes when they first enter Mission World, and Glan Glan, Geradi, are almost enough.
Naluo and Zechs took the other newcomers and followed Char to complete the transfer of Flanagan Institute and protect the transferred items of Flanagan Institute to reach the moon safely. Then the mission was completed.
But this does not count the people on Char's side. There are almost forty people on Xiao Ran's side who will participate in this operation, and they are all MS pilots. Just for transportation, this number is A large number of mobile suits is already a very large target. If you add the members, pilots, and other necessary work logistics that Char will bring, then the team for this operation will be at least a fleet or more.
A fleet is indeed nothing in the universe, but it is obviously impossible to continue to approach Zeon without being discovered by Zeon people. No matter how stupid Zeon is, it is impossible to ignore this fleet and enter Zeon's local sphere of influence.
Therefore, Char hopes that Xiao Ran can reduce the number of members it carries. Carrying fewer elites is more useful than bringing a group of miscellaneous soldiers. It is possible to slightly reduce the number of targets and sneak into the Zeon mainland without being noticed.
But after all, this operation is related to the last mission of the legion members and to every participant who has joined the legion. It would really be inappropriate not to allow them to participate.
Although except for a few people, the other participants are all newcomers, and only the D-level Piloting Skill is, but it is also a D-level Piloting Skill. Participants with skills have more advantages than unskilled pilots in this world, so bringing them with them will not become a burden even if they are used to deal with the Zeon Army.
Compared with bringing D-class Pilot with Char's subordinates, Xiao Ran thinks it would be much better for those participants to personally participate in this mission.
And this time is also an excellent fighting opportunity, which can also allow the new participants to grow more through this battle. Xiao Ran does not hope that these new people joining the legion will all be a group of babies who are growing up under protection. The difficulty of this task will make these people truly feel the difficulties of Prometheus. At least it will allow these participants to establish a correct understanding of Prometheus, which will also be extremely helpful for their next task.
But according to Char's idea, entering Zeon this time should be something that must be done with caution. At least it cannot be exposed before taking action against Flanagan Institute. It is best for the members participating in the mission to be elite-level pilots, such as Shin Matsunaga, Ramba Lal's level, or pilots close to this level.
According to Xiao Ran's understanding, only pilots with level D+ or above are qualified to participate in this mission. Ordinary pilots used to basically deliver food, but Char does not understand the growth potential of the participants, nor does he know that the participants' true strength cannot be measured by general cognition. Skills are something that Char cannot understand at all.
In fact, there is no telling how big the gap is between the so-called elites under Char and the newcomers. Unless they are Ace Pilot like Shin Matsunaga, it is completely normal if there is a big gap.
At least Xiao Ran and Nicol worked together to defeat a fake B-class Mecha in the first world. At that time, what level was Xiao Ran able to do such a thing? It is really an exaggeration to say that.
Moreover, Xiao Ran also feels that there are advantages to having more people. Hiding one's whereabouts in the universe is not something that can only be determined by a large number of people or a small number of people. Since Char can ensure that a small number of mobile suits can sneak into Zeon territory, then at the worst, they can just transport them slowly a few times.
But Char pointed out that even if those individuals are brought along, there is a very serious problem, and that is the problem of the machine. The machines driven by the people under Xiao Ran are all enhanced versions of M1 Astray, but now there are only those under him in the whole world. That fleet is equipped with this machine body. If it appears on Zeon land and cooperates with New Zeon in the battle against Zeon, it will really become a joke to Federation. It would be strange if Federation does not take any action.
This question made Xiao Ran stunned for a moment. The question Char mentioned is indeed a very critical issue. Astray must not appear in the land of Zeon, especially if there is no life for Federation This cannot be done under orders. Although Xiao Ran can ignore any order from Federation, at least at this stage, it will be more beneficial to Xiao Ran to temporarily succumb to Federation.
Letting newcomers pilot the Zeon-produced mobile suit owned by Char to participate in such a mission, especially Zaku II, would be a real act of chaos, and would be more like pushing newcomers into the abyss of death. At least you have to pilot a mobile suit of the level of the Demon to ensure more safety in this operation.
However, there are actually not many machines like the Big Demon in the hands of Char, because this machine has not been produced in large quantities in total. A large number of Big Demons were cut off by Xiao Ran and the others when they were still on Earth. Char has a dozen or so Big Demons in its hands, which is considered a lot.
"What you are talking about is indeed a problem." Xiao Ran frowned and said thoughtfully, "If you can't fly M1 Astray, then my pilots will most likely not be used to the operation methods of other aircraft, and their combat capabilities will be reduced by at least one-third. This does not take into account the gap in the aircraft itself. After all, if the aircraft is not good, the extent of its performance will be smaller."
"So I also suggest that the ace and Elite Pilot should be the main ones to carry out this operation." Char saw Xiao Ran finally relented and said in relief, "Although the number of people is not too many, at least the power that can be exerted in a small area is very strong. With the fleet under my control to assist from behind, plus the rebellion of Sima Karahao and her men, our strength is completely sufficient."
"The key is not you." Char said, looking at Xiao Ran, and continued, "GN-X has been prepared for so long, why don't you just leave that body unused? You are the only one who can use that body. With you participating in the transfer operation of Flanagan Institute, you can at least be worthy of a Zeon Army fleet."
"Huh?" Xiao Ran raised his head and glanced at Char. Then he realized that although Char said that he agreed to his proposal and kidnapped the members of Zabi family, he was actually still waiting for him here, and he still didn't want him to go and risk himself.
"You are right. The GN-X that has been transformed after so much effort cannot be left in vain, and the pilots under my command cannot fly M1 Astray to participate in this mission." Xiao Ran After hesitating for a while, he continued, "You also reminded me that Federation might give me some orders at this time to support the Federation operation somewhere. It is indeed inappropriate to take all the people away."
"How many more big demons do you have available?"
Char is also very clear about what is going on in his base. Seeing Xiao Ran's thinking look, he also said, "I have thirteen Daemons and a group of Tigers in my hands. In addition, I will not hide it from you. I also have a batch of new models developed by Zeon that fell into my hands before they were fully equipped. There are only a dozen or so Warriors in my hands."
"Warrior?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He knew that this machine could be regarded as Zeon's main machine. Char and White Wolf Shin Matsunaga had flown this machine. There were also some other aces in Jiong who had also flown this machine.
Char nodded. "Yes, the new Zeon machine equipped with beam weapons is also the machine I plan to use as the main force in this operation. The current arrangement is that I will personally drive one during the operation, Mr. Lal, Shin Matsunaga He and Karahao each pilot one, and there is also a pilot similar to Shin Matsunaga, Jabi Hassad, and there is a Ace Pilot who originally belonged to the Zeon Earth Front and took the initiative to join me, Thomas Kuruz."
"A few of us will be the main members of the operation, and the most suitable pilots have been arranged for the rest of the aircraft. Although it is not as good as the aces I mentioned, Piloting Skill is similar to Karaho, and all the aircraft have completed adaptive transformation and painting."
Although the current Sima Karahao also has good abilities, there is actually a certain gap compared to the real Ace-level pilot, that is, a higher level of elite level. However, Sima Karahao has advantages that other Elite Pilot and even Ace-level pilots do not have.
That is, she still has a group of Elite Pilot subordinates who completely obey her command, and she also has the Command Authority power of a fleet. As a pilot, she has subordinates, but as a fleet commander, she has strength, so it is natural for her to be valued by Char at this time.
Among Zeon, the number of Ace-level pilots is actually quite small, but most of them have not appeared in the main story. There are even more elite-level pilots, and the number of Elite Pilot now gathered under Char is not a small number. You can definitely find some pilots recognized by Char and assigned to the Warriors.
The reason why Char spoke out at this time was because he knew Xiao Ran's plan to take some machines from him and hand them over to his subordinates for use. He wanted to speak out first so as to avoid the sudden appearance of new machines like the Warrior later, which would cause Xiao Ran to have other ideas.
"A warrior?" Xiao Ran stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It doesn't matter, it belongs to you New Zeon. You can just distribute it. You have more than a dozen Demons and Tigers over there. I will select a few people to participate in the mission. You prepare the machine."
"Yes." Char nodded and agreed. Since Xiao Ran only said to select a few people, there was no reason for him to continue to object.
"That's it." Xiao Ran gently knocked on the coffee table in front of him and said, "I will let El-Elf lead the team to take charge of Zabi family's actions. You can find a way to send them there safely. If El-Elf is here, It doesn't make a big difference whether or not I am there. Two GN-Xs have to be sent in, and Nalo will also join their operation. There can be some guarantees in terms of safety. If possible, it would be better to send them more mobile suits. However, the type of mobile suit does not matter, it is just a precaution anyway."
"I will take some people with me to drive my GN-X to participate in the transfer of Flanagan Institute, and protect it from reaching the moon safely after the transfer. You will provide the big demons or tigers that my men need to use. The number will not be too many, about ten people."
"Zechs leads the remaining people and the new pilots who joined Astray Fleet to continue completing the tasks assigned by Federation."
As he spoke, Xiao Ran kept nodding his head. After finishing speaking, he added again, "With this arrangement, it will not affect Federation's mission. The scale of the operation will be smaller, but the overall strength will not decrease. With my participation in the transfer work, we will be well prepared to deal with the resulting Zeon Army, and all aspects will be taken care of."
Saki Maski stood next to Xiao Ran. She wanted to say that she wanted to act together with Xiao Ran, but she opened her mouth but closed it. She was still ready to obey Xiao Ran's arrangements, drive GN-X and Naluo together as El-Elf and their rival MS Defense Force.
Char left after agreeing on the specific departure time with Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran also took Saki Maski with the uneaten food and hurried out, and went directly to Anaheim Company to gather all the legion members together.
