Chapter 769 Mina comes to visit
In the evening, the reception that was supposed to be the wedding banquet of Cagalli and Yura Seran was held as usual, but Cagalli was taken away by Freedom Gundam and disappeared. Yura Seran and his old man took a lot of original Orb with them. 's cabinet officials and military officers were all imprisoned in cells, so the reception became a welcome reception for Xiao Ran. It was also a place for Xiao Ran to express its apology to the delegations from various countries who were shocked today.
Among them, the small neutral countries that have always been attached to the third force under Orb are the happiest. They are also Neutral Countries like Orb, but they are also forced to join the so-called Global Security Alliance because of the hegemony of the alliance. Among E, but now the appearance of Xiao Ran can change their current situation to a certain extent. Everyone knows that Xiao Ran is not a master who is afraid of fighting, and he really has this ability to do what he says.
Once Orb takes the lead, and they follow closely to gather all their forces together, the Alliance really dare not actively provoke Xiao Ran under the strong military pressure of ZAFT at this time. Some people can even see that someone from the Alliance may soon jump out to stabilize Orb's mood.
In addition to the representatives of these small countries, the other happy people are of course the few people sent by PLANT to congratulate them. Although Orb was planning to join that Global Security Alliance, after all, Orb and PLANT have had a lot of cooperation before, so before they really fall out completely, he will still do these etiquette like the old fox Durandal did.
Orb opposed joining Global Security Alliance, but the representatives of PLANT seemed very happy. After all, Orb is the third largest military system, and Global Security Alliance is targeting PLANT. Now that Orb has announced that it will not join, it has greatly relieved a lot of pressure on them. What's more, Xiao Ran is also preparing to declare war on the alliance, which also allows the representatives of PLANT to see the hope of cooperation and pull Orb into their front.
So throughout the evening, from the beginning to the end of the reception, there were countless people surrounding Xiao Ran, but they also knew that today was not the time to talk about those things, but to surround Xiao Ran with compliments.
It wasn't until the reception was over that Xiao Ran, protected by a group of guards, left with a bit of a bang and temporarily moved into the newly built mansion of Asaha's family.
Now Xiao Ran's security level is extremely high, not only because of Xiao Ran's current status in Orb, especially because Xiao Ran was contacted after he retired two years ago. When the news about Orb's kidnapping spread, many people, whether officials or civilians, held their breath in their hearts. His security level was raised to the highest level so that the same thing would not happen. Of course, this also represented the fact that Cagalli was taken away.
There are many people around Xiao Ran in any action he takes. The area around Asaha's residence where he lives temporarily is under full martial law and is directly under the military's responsibility. Although this is somewhat unnecessary for Xiao Ran, it can be But he would not stop the people below from doing this. Orb's nerves were too nervous now. Apart from so many things, Xiao Ran was not willing to tease their nervous nerves anymore and just followed their arrangements.
After entering the unfamiliar Asaha's house and just sitting down, Bargyll walked up to Xiao Ran with a small computer in his arms, turned on the small computer directly, looked at the contents on it, and reported to Xiao Ran, "Sir, Mars delegation, PLA The NT delegation and the delegation of the third neutral force headed by Orb have just requested a formal meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that we can respond as soon as possible. In addition, Atlantic Federation, Eurasian Federation, and East Asian Federation have all requested a meeting with the Lord."
"In addition, except for a few of the Ceran Family's party members and allies who have escaped, the rest have been detained. You also need to decide their final outcome."
"The military also issued a formal statement in the afternoon. It will provide unconditional support to you, sir. At the same time, it has also sent orders to all troops stationed abroad. They will all return within a month at the latest. Orb Army is currently in full combat readiness. The selection of outstanding pilots will also start tomorrow."
"The government and the military need you to make arrangements and sign for the vacancies created due to the arrest of the Ceran Family and his followers."
A lot of things came out of Bargyll's mouth, which made Xiao Ran take a long breath and sit up straight again. After thinking for a while, he said, "The government and military personnel have been supplemented and asked the cabinet and the national defense headquarters to select suitable personnel and handed them over to me to sign and accept my fate. All the talks have been promised to them. You can arrange the time. We must also be fully prepared in terms of combat readiness, so that Akatsuki Works can start to expand immediately, try to recover the lost Technicians, and then start the research and development of Ace-level pilots. I will tell them the specific requirements when Akatsuki Works is ready."
"In addition, find a place in Orb to establish a post-disaster relief camp and officially start to receive refugees who suffered in the war. However, normal people or Coordinators can receive them. Relief materials must be prepared in advance. A press conference will be arranged in three days, and I will be on stage in person."
"Finally, I'll clean out Ceran Family's mansion and tidy it up. I'll move it there. After all, this is the Asaha family's mansion. It doesn't matter if I stay here for a few days. It's not appropriate to stay for too long."
Bargyll nodded while writing down Xiao Ran's words. At this time, a man who looked like a butler walked in lightly, bowed slightly to Xiao Ran and then said, "Sir, there is a guest here to visit, and I hope to meet you."
"At this time?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"
The housekeeper said, "It's the young lady above."
As soon as the housekeeper said it, Xiao Ran knew who this so-called eldest lady was, Lund·Mina·Sahaku, Orb's Shadow God of War, and Cagalli is also one of the successors of the orthodox Orb, the leader of Heaven's Pillar, and the true advocate of the Astray plan. He is independent from the universe because of his different ideas from the Asaha family.
"Why is she here? And she comes to visit me?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised, but he still nodded to the housekeeper. "I understand, you bring her in."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and turned to leave. Xiao Ran also looked at Bargyll and said, "That's it for now. The things I arranged will be handled as soon as possible. You can go first."
Bargyll also nodded and left. A few minutes later, Xiao Ran saw Mina Lund walking in in a full dress.
The butler quietly turned around and left after bringing Mina to Xiao Ran, and this Orb's Shadow God of War Mina stood in front of Xiao Ran and looked at Xiao Ran seriously, and Xiao Ran also stood up from the sofa and looked at each other.
The long hair flowed straight down. Although the face had unique female features and softness, Xiao Ran could also feel a kind of arrogance from the other person. Seeing him, Xiao Ran thought of the other person with the same appearance who was killed by him, Luo, Murrue Ramius, when he first came to this world. He was also Mina's brother, Gena.
Xiao Ran didn't ask why the other party came, and Mina didn't let the doubt remain for too long. He just looked at Xiao Ran with a faint smile, and said unhurriedly, "I didn't expect that an outsider would eventually be in charge of Orb, Asaha The E family, Ceran Family, including me, Sahak Family, have all become your stepping stones. Starting from Akatsuki Works, you forced me, Sahak Family, to let go of Akatsuki Works, and then I had no choice but to succumb to Heaven's Pillar."
"Then you gained the trust of the former representative Asaha and carried out the task of entrusting you. Today, you arrested the last Ceran Family who could threaten your position and all their henchmen. It can be said that the entire Orb will no longer be your opponent, even if Cagalli comes back, and as long as you deny his identity, she will never gain the rights of Orb again."
"The whole Orb has been completely calculated by you from top to bottom. From a useless university assistant to taking charge of Orb for the second time in a short period of time, you are now the most vocal leader of Orb. Your ability is indeed very surprising. Many aristocratic families have established I'm afraid no one would have thought that Orb would end up in the hands of an outsider who is nothing. Even if you control everything about Orb, do you know how many of these aristocratic families are sincere to you and how much they will hate you for taking away their rights?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said with a smile, "First of all, I want to clarify that I have never had any calculations about Orb. It was a coincidence that I got to this point today. In addition, Cagalli's departure was their own. It is my own choice, I have not taken any action here, and Ceran Family's actions are indeed against the philosophy of Orb. As a minister of Tuogu represented by Asaha, there is nothing wrong with my decision."
"As for the people you mentioned who hate me and oppose me, in the critical situation Orb is facing now, I can only take special measures against them. I believe that no one will choose to jump out and touch my troubles at this time. Even if I let them go, the military and the people will not let them go. But you, who is independent of Heaven's Pillar, would actually come to visit me at such a time. This is what makes me feel strange."
Mina looked at Xiao Ran, leaned forward slightly and said word by word, "I'm just here to remind you not to bring Orb into danger."
