Transport Aircraft entered directly through the secret passage of Anaheim Company through special arrangements, so only a very few people knew about Xiao Ran's return to Anaheim. Xiao Ran actually didn't mind the news of his return being revealed, but he also didn't want to expose himself and others' bodies when the situation was unknown.
Cardias went to the secret passage to greet Xiao Ran in person. Brera and Luca were left to guard the machine, while Cruze and Glan Glan and Xiao Ran followed Cardias away and quietly returned to Cardias's mansion above the secret passage.
Regarding Xiao Ran's return, Cardias seemed extremely happy and relieved when he saw Xiao Ran. In less than half a year since Xiao Ran left, he had already endured too much pressure and all kinds of important tasks. The pressure almost made him breathless. Even in Anaheim Company, a military industrial enterprise that seemed to have become extremely huge, there were also many conflicts and problems. Many of these problems were left behind by him and Xiao Ran, and they were so serious that he could not bear them alone.
After Cardias arranged for external security, he returned to the secret room where Xiao Ran and the other three were placed. He sat opposite Xiao Ran as if he was exhausted, and sighed repeatedly, "I didn't expect that Char and I would have so many questions one after another in less than half a year after you left. By the way, who is this gentleman?"
Among the three of them, Glan Glan Cardias knew each other, but Cruze Cardias, who appeared for the first time, had not seen him before. Xiao Ran looked at the smiling Cruze next to him. glanced at him and introduced to the two of them, "This is Law Lu Cruze. He is my team member. Just call him Cruze. Cruze. This is Mr. Cardias. He is my collaborator here."
Cardias stood up, nodded and smiled at Cruze, and stretched out his right hand. "Hello, Mr. Cruze."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Cardias." Cruze also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Cardias. After both parties sat down again, Xiao Ran asked, "Cardias, what happened during this time?"
"It's hard to put it into words." Cardias shook his head and said, "During the time you left, the situation in this world did not calm down because of Zeon's surrender. On the surface, the war seemed to have calmed down and there were no conflicts, but in fact, the superficial conflicts were hidden under the water, becoming darker and more ruthless."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, but Cruze showed a very serious look. When it comes to playing with people's hearts and methods, how many in this world can compare to Cruze who almost killed an entire world.
"I'll tell you slowly." Cardias shook his head. Even if Xiao Ran didn't ask him, he would still tell Xiao Ran what happened during this period. Because some things changed too fast and were too unexpected, Cardias was not prepared enough, so he was a little embarrassed by the heavy pressure during this period.
"According to the plan before you left, Char lowered its profile and negotiated an armistice agreement with Federation, but it also insisted on avoiding Federation's suspicions. Bottom line, the negotiations between the two parties broke up many times, but fortunately, after wasting more than two months, our plan to delay Federation's attention to New Zeon was perfectly completed."
"But it is precisely because of Char's retreat that although New Zeon recognized the armistice, there were also many voices of absolute cowardice and opposition to Char. But what is even more unexpected is that General Revil was actually relieved of his position as commander of Earth Force and became idle, and that secret The agreement that cannot be made public has also been leaked by some people in Federation. The exposure of this agreement has caused many conflicts and undercurrents within New Zeon. The key is that Char has no way to explain it. Just suppressing those who are ready to move has already made Char unable to do anything, because it has been assassinated several times."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment, "What? That agreement was actually leaked. What are Federation thinking? How could they do such a thing? Are those people stupid? Okay Why would they do this in a situation that is not easy to stabilize? If something happens to Char and New Zeon takes back Axis, wouldn't it cause the war that finally stopped to break out again?"
The so-called shady agreement, of course, is that Char agreed to a series of unreasonable demands from Federation on the surface in order not to go to war. These demands were absolutely heartbreaking for New Zeon. However, it would take three years to gradually change the things in the agreement, and the real situation was just a blank sheet of paper that existed to buy time for Xiao Ran and the others. Char had no intention of actually following the agreement, but the key point was that Char could not explain the contents of the agreement to anyone. At most, he could only tell his cronies. It was precisely because Char's cronies knew the reason for the real plan that Char among New Zeon would not be overthrown.
Cardias said with a wry smile, "Perhaps Federation has no intention of living in peace with New Zeon, and does not allow any autonomy at all, but is preparing to truly control Zeon completely. They are eager for New Zeon fell into a riot and then went to clean up the mess. I suspect that General Revil was promoted and secretly demoted because of his opposition to Federation's rebirth. Now General Revil has been placed under house arrest, and there is no way to contact him."
"Ha." Xiao Ran sneered and said, "But this is also Federation's usual practice, so are our allies looking at it like this?"
"Of course not." Cardias said this with a disdainful sneer and said, "Except for the two Commoner Faction and Moderate Faction who are on the side of General Revil, everyone else agrees to completely turn Zeon into a colony of Federation. Not only that, they also proposed to control the entire Earth Force."
"The reason for the good name after coming down is for everyone's sake. In the future, the expansion of the universe must have a stable rear area that only listens to one voice. Therefore, other forces that do not agree with each other cannot be tolerated, even if they are autonomous."
Cruze suddenly smiled faintly and said, "I learned a saying somewhere, if you want people to perish, you must first make them crazy. Now these people have begun to go crazy, and our arrival is just the beginning of their destruction."
"Actually, it's because we gave them such confidence." Cardias nodded in agreement with Cruze's words, but also said to Xiao Ran, "Because M1 Astray and The emergence of Gundam Astray and their promotion of the emergence of Astray Fleet led to the end of the war in this way, so everyone got huge credit. In the redistribution of the recovered areas on the earth, these people all got huge benefits and also got a greater say in Federation."
"The Astray produced was still delivered to Federation no matter how much I delayed it. Most of the delivered units were taken by these people, and after acquiring Zeon's military industrial companies, they were forced to We expanded production for the first time and have delivered the second batch of airframes, and because of your sudden disappearance, these people saw the right opportunity. After Astray Fleet was disbanded, all the pilots were divided into their own hands."
"At the meeting of Anaheim Company's interest partners, they proposed to divide your shares because of your disappearance. They also removed you from all positions in Federation and sent many people to insert themselves into the company overtly or covertly. Although I am still the top leader of Anaheim Company, in reality, In fact, my order cannot even be transmitted to Brown City, and even if it is transmitted, it will not have the desired effect. The appearance of Space Jump Engine is no longer a secret in Federal High-level. In order to win over their allies, they have more or less leaked the information about Space Jump Engine."
"For the huge benefit, Federation has gone completely crazy now. If this technology were not only in my hands, I am afraid my end would not be any better than Char."
Xiao Ran I didn't expect that things would develop to such a serious point, and all of this was just because of two words, profit. If they come back later, I'm afraid the situation on the entire earth will change dramatically again.
"In other words, after I disappeared, they felt that there was no threat, and the power in their hands was enough to support them in making these messy decisions?" Xiao Ran's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said coldly, "Now that I'm back, no matter what wishful thinking these people have, I will let them know how serious the consequences of doing so are."
"Yes, fortunately you are back." Cardias nodded and said, "But apart from these, I believe that Astray MS technology must have been leaked and delivered to After Federation, they will definitely crack M1 Astray, but what I really doubt is that the technology of the higher series Gundam Astray, including PS Armor, may have been leaked."
"But you can rest assured that GN Dragoon and Solar Furnace, because I have prepared the technology of GN-X, it has not been leaked yet." After saying this, Cardias also sneered and said, "Federation After doing so much, there was no movement on my side. I used your influence among the lower-level soldiers of Federation to spread the word that Federation was imprisoned because he was dissatisfied with your disobedience and took the initiative to provoke war against New Zeon again."
"It just so happens that the disbandment of Astray Fleet and the rise and fall of General Revil make this rumor quite possible. At least for now, the attitude of the lower-level soldiers in Federation is quite dissatisfied." Cardias looked at Xiao Ran, laughed and said, "You have returned safely now, so if we can find where General Revil is and persuade him to join us, then our plan can officially start taking action."
