Chapter 653 Cruze in action
With Cruze and El-Elf leading their teams to Earth and New Zeon respectively, several days have passed. Xiao Ran has been living in Cardias's mansion without revealing the fact that he has returned. He sent Moses and Billy out to cooperate with Cardias's current internal investigation.
I don't have anything to do. What I do every day is to listen to the situation reports from Cardias, Moses and Billy, and learn about the daily news. As the bridge staff, Mwu, Sheryl and Bobby naturally had nothing to do, and it was inconvenient to leave Cardias's mansion, so they just rested and relaxed in the past few days.
Luo and Basak both had restless tempers. Basak couldn't go into the city, and Luo was too bored, so they simply returned to Galaxy Diva. One played with the machinery every day, and from time to time practiced the martial arts inherited from Master Asia with Basak. The other spent time dancing and making noise with the people in the base every day.
Xiao Ran has absolutely reason to believe that once the news of his return is leaked, Federal High-level and some jealous people will never let him go easily. They will either catch him and imprison him, or solve it secretly. Although Xiao Ran is not afraid, it is quite troublesome to face these.
After Cruze and the others went to Earth, the two sides temporarily lost all contact, so Xiao Ran couldn't tell what kind of results Cruze had achieved in the past few days. Speaking of the three parties operating separately, the most important thing was the mission of Cruze and theirs.
As long as Cruze can successfully contact the people on the Cardias list, get support from these people, find General Revil and determine the time for formal action, then the moon and New Zeon will They can take advantage of the situation at any time, clear out those personnel inserted by Federation without any scruples, and declare the identity of Federal High-level and a series of people behind him as traitors out of righteousness, and then formally declare war on Federation.
As for how much territory and troops Federation can eat at present, it depends on how far Cruze can go to the earth this time.
But within a few days, even though Cruze had detailed contact information and information, he did not start acting blindly. Instead, after landing on Earth, he chose a place where the list of people in the data was relatively concentrated and began to observe some of the people. After observing carefully for several days, Cruze finally identified the first batch of people to contact among these people, and began to make preparations for meeting with these people.
According to Cruze's own calculations, it would take at least two months to contact all the people on the list, because the people on the list are almost all over the world. Among them are businessmen, government officials, underground forces, high-level military officials, and people all over the world. The commander of the military base, although compared to Federation's current strength, the combined strength of these people is not a huge force, at most it is only a child, but I don't know how Cardias compiled this list and where he found so many supporters.
Most of the people on the list do not need to be contacted directly if they are casual. They only need to contact about a dozen important people on the list. Who is trustworthy and who needs to be alert? Cardias has marked it on the list, but Cruze also hopes to identify this issue based on his own judgment.
Especially the part of Moderate Faction and the part of Commoner Faction that has completely leaned towards Anaheim Company and Xiao Ran. Although Cardias seems to be a firm ally, Cruze is not willing to make contact in this unsafe way. He prefers to personally observe the people on the list to confirm whether these people have other ideas. Otherwise, as long as one of them has a problem, the implications will be huge.
From Cruze's point of view, most of them are outright interest followers and wallflowers. They will choose to follow whichever side can provide more benefits. People like this are what Cruze likes the most and hates the most, because This kind of person is the best to deal with. As long as enough benefits are given, he will follow him like the most obedient dog. However, this kind of person is also the most unprincipled and has no bottom line. Even if the benefits are enough, when the risk exceeds a certain level, even his biological father can be sold.
Therefore, Cruze also directly crossed out most of the members on the list. Apart from letting Luca keep surveillance through technical means, he had no intention of contacting these people at all. He only needed to inform these people at the last moment of action after confirming everything. By then, Cruze would naturally be able to turn these people into a group of obedient dogs, scrambling to open their mouths and bite people.
After observing for a period of time, and adding the information collected by Luca and the information Cruze bought from the intelligence dealer, Cruze quickly decided on the three targets to contact first. They were the Moderate Faction members who had cooperated with Xiao Ran, Jos and Bill, and the representative of Commoner Faction, General Maxi.
During this period of time, in addition to getting to know these people, Cruze also got to know some of the current factions within Federation. Based on Cruze's understanding, the distinctions between the several factions are not so clear-cut. Usually there is me among you, and you among me. The faction that seems scattered but supports the most each other is. Moderate Faction can be regarded as a huge business alliance composed of families, consortiums, and companies. Most of them uphold the attitude of making money in harmony, as represented by Bill and Jos. They typically do things on the sidelines so that they can meet each other in the future. They do not have real conflicts with other factions in the world, and can negotiate everything through the exchange of interests.
Of course, among Moderate Faction, there are also some people and families who are ruthless and do anything for the sake of profit. They like to kill everyone and eradicate them. Because of their work style, this group of people in Moderate Faction are closer to Privilege Faction, and they are the representatives of Privilege Faction in Moderate Faction.
Of course, Moderate Faction's gentleness is only relative. For real enemies, Moderate Faction is not gentle at all.
As for Commoner Faction, they are very united, but due to many reasons, Maxi is not the only leader in this faction. Just like although they belong to the same country, they are also divided into regions. Different regions have different leaders, large and small, and Maxi is the leader. The role of the BOSS in the back is the same as General Revil, but it is the more powerful one in Commoner Faction. Although there may be some internal conflicts, Commoner Faction's external attitude is very consistent. I have no money and no benefits. If you want to mess with me, then I will bite you no matter what.
So in the eyes of Moderate Faction and Privilege Faction, the people of Commoner Faction are just a bunch of bastards and helpless, but they have to rely on these people to carry out the war. Maybe 999 out of a thousand soldiers named Federation are civilians, and the remaining ten may be family members of the privileged class of Federation.
But if both Revil and Maxi can be made to join Xiao Ran, then 75% of Commoner Faction will be under the control of Xiao Ran, and they will also have a great advantage in dealing with Federation.
After deciding on the three people to contact for the first time, Cruze gracefully and openly sent greeting cards to the respective residences of Moderate Faction, Bill and Jos. The content of the greeting card was very simple. It seemed that a business partner was coming to visit, but in fact it was the contact code agreed with Cardias.
On Maxi's side, Cruze chose to infiltrate directly to meet with Maxi. The reason for this difference was entirely because Cruze saw it The three people have different personalities and different ways of dealing with people. Bill and Jos occupy a place among Federal High-level and Federation. Maxi is also a businessman. He is clear and generous, and his conversation with the truth is more in line with the two people's thoughts. Maxi is the kind of person who is more sinister. People with this kind of personality like to hide their secrets in the shadows., no matter whether he completely trusts the people around him or not, he absolutely does not like to expose his secrets to others, so using infiltration for meetings can not only show the power of this side, but also conform to the dark mind of Maxi.
Cruze can see this and can choose different ways to meet according to the different personalities of the three people. This is also what Cruze is so good at. His ability to understand other people's inner thoughts and see other people's spiritual weaknesses is what allows him, who is originally a clone, to rise to the level of almost one person in the Coordinators camp among SEED World and more than ten thousand people.
Just as Cruze happily began to formally contact the three people, El Elf also brought under his supervision the officials of all important departments of New Zeon, the commanders of each fleet, and all the personnel in the personnel list given to him by Char, and sat together every day. A secret surveillance department established by people who were absolutely trusted by Char, monitored everything about these people, and removed some people from the suspect list bit by bit, and added people who did not originally exist on the list, monitored all satellite communications in the entire capital, and paid attention to the disturbances around Char.
