Chapter 800 Pilot
Durandal may have felt that he already understood the current situation of Orb, so he took the initiative to bid farewell to Xiao Ran and told Xiao Ran that although it was confirmed To determine the existence of LOGOS, it is necessary to further determine the specific composition and personnel identity of LOGOS, so it will take some time to ensure that all LOGOS can be captured in one go, so Xiao Ran does not need to be too anxious to prepare.
Durandal is not in a hurry, perhaps because he wants to buy more time for himself, or because he has said that he does not know the true identity of all LOGOS members, or perhaps because he feels that the world is not hot enough today. In short, for whatever reason, although the two parties have agreed to jointly deal with LOGOS, it has been temporarily shelved.
However, Xiao Ran's plan to form a special force did not stop there. Although Orb now has participants such as Xiao Ran, Mu, Eshe, Stella and other Three strong ones, the overall reality is that In terms of strength, the number of troops is small and can be said to be the smallest and least among the three major forces in the world. If it were not for the battle between the United and ZAFT that involved countless troops from both sides, Orb's military strength would really be completely inadequate when there are battlefields everywhere in the universe and on the earth.
Even if Xiao Ran and others can partially gain an absolute advantage in the battle, except for Xiao Ran and the others, the entire strength of Orb will never be an opponent of ZAFT and the United. However, the number cannot be increased in a short period of time, so Xiao Ran decided to establish a special force to gather quality.
But now the alliance seems to have forgotten Orb, and ZAFT will not attack Orb, but instead allows Orb to achieve rare tranquility. In this situation where war is happening everywhere in the world, Orb has also become an extremely rare place of peace on the earth, and it has also brought Orb more time.
Xiao Ran asked Akatsuki Works to step up the development and research of the new machine. To this end, he also asked Luo, who was far away at Heaven's Pillar, for a lot of technical support. He wanted to use the current resources of Orb to develop a new machine that is suitable and has certain combat capabilities. For Orb It is indeed a big burden for E. At the same time, Xiao Ran also has to let Orb support Heaven's Pillar's resource problems to a certain extent, causing the entire Orb to basically fall into a resource shortage stage.
However, this shortage of resources is not a big problem for Xiao Ran. Once Orb becomes Exclusive Faction, there will be countless resources supplied to Orb. Moreover, after Orb actually joins the war, he can also plunder the alliance. Or use ZAFT's resources to supplement itself, so in the eyes of Xiao Ran, any problem of resource shortage is temporary. As long as it can survive this period, develop a certain combat power and achieve final victory, no matter what difficulties it is, it will become a cloud with the support of 0079 World and Super Dimension Fortress Frontier world.
Although preparations for Ace Unit began, Xiao Ran also did not forget about the development of the military. In the past two years, Orb also began to send demobilization requests to the soldiers who had been cut off due to pressure from both sides of the Alliance and PLANT. The reason for requests rather than orders was entirely because demobilization was entirely voluntary. Orb also began to recruit new soldiers throughout Orb.
And Erica Symonds also brought the two pilots she recommended to Xiao Ran at the right time. One was about the same height as Xiao Ran. Bally, a fighter who was not strong but looked like a rock. He, once the strongest pilot of Orb's Astray, had unparalleled fighting ability and talent, and was extremely good at piloting MS to carry out Melee Combat. Although he was only a natural person, he had a powerful combat power that was not inferior to Coordinators's.
The second one is Mayu Asuka's younger sister, Mayu Asuka, who is currently fighting bravely for ZAFT on Minerva. I think back to when Xiao Ran saw Mayu for the first time. At that time, Mayu was just a very immature and innocent little girl, wearing a school uniform that still belonged to a student. But now, the Mayu that appears in Xiao Ran's eyes has a firm face but a smile. But she is a sweet girl with big eyes. Today's Mayu is even slightly younger than the original Miriallia, but her height is similar to that of the original Miriallia. In terms of figure, she already has a certain size because she is Coordinators, but she can see the temperament that belongs to a soldier.
When Xiao Ran saw Director Symonds with a captain in the Orb Army uniform and a long-haired girl wearing Akatsuki Works orange coat, the identity of the two people was already determined. And it wasn't until Symonds led the two of them to the huge desk of Xiao Ran that Xiao Ran stood up, walked around the table and faced the two of them with a smile.
"Welcome, I'm sorry that because there are too many things at the moment, I can only let you come to this messy place to meet each other." Xiao Ran smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Bally and Mayu respectively.
Bally has always maintained a very calm and calm appearance, but Mayu became more excited and active after seeing Xiao Ran. His little face was also flushed, which looked very cute. It was an expression that one had to suppress when seeing an idol. After Xiao Ran said the above words, Mayu shook his head quickly and said, "I'm sorry, it's us who disturbed you."
Bally also shook his head. "It is our honor to be received by the adults here."
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, also nodded to Symonds as a greeting, then raised his hand to guide the three of them to sit down on the sofa next to them. After sitting down, Xiao Ran saw Mayu looked tense and smiled slightly, "Mayu, don't be nervous. If you haven't forgotten, we met once before. You were only that tall at that time. I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for two years, you have matured a lot and grown a lot."
Mayu couldn't help but stick out his tongue when he heard that Xiao Ran still remembered him. A happy smile appeared on his face. Although Xiao Ran's brother Zhen Asuka disappeared completely after meeting Xiao Ran, but Mayu still remembers it., Zhen Asuka went to another place to protect Orb. It was not long ago that she knew that Zhen Asuka was still living well, and she joined ZAFT and became Ace Pilot over there, and saw him with her own eyes in the dock of Akatsuki Works.
But Mayu knows better that Zhen Asuka joined ZAFT because of Xiao Ran's arrangement, and becoming Ace Pilot is because of Zhen Asuka's own strength. While feeling proud and worried about his brother, As a pilot, she could only conduct MS tests in Akatsuki Works, which made this girl with great potential secretly compete. Until she knew that she would be able to truly enter the battlefield and be interviewed by her idol, she felt very excited and anxious.
Mayu looked very sunny when he smiled. This kind of sunshine gave people a very pure feeling. Xiao Ran was also slightly stunned for a moment. Xiao Ran was stunned not because of anything else, but because he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to push such a sunny and innocent girl into the battlefield like this.
However, it is her own wish that Mayu wants to really fight, and Orb really needs excellent pilots now, so Xiao Ran was stunned for such a short moment and returned to normal, then looked at Bally and said, " Bally·He, Astray's strongest pilot and fighter, fought bravely and achieved great results in the last war. He left the army because of his disappointment with Orb two years ago. Thank you very much for coming back when Orb needs you most."
Bally shook his head and said seriously to Xiao Ran: "When Orb became a threat because of its power, I have always admired you for taking the initiative to leave, so after you left, I also chose the same approach as you. Although However, maybe there is also disappointment in Orb at that time, and if I don't come back when you need strength, then I am not worthy of being a Orb soldier, and being able to continue fighting under your command is what I have always dreamed of."
"Yes." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded lightly, looked at the two people and said, "Orb may have had some shortcomings in the past and now, which made people feel disappointed. However, I believe that with the development of Orb, we will definitely be able to turn these disappointing places into places that make us proud."
Seeing the two people nodding, Symonds sat aside without saying a word. Xiao Ran also smiled and continued, "Now Orb has gone through a lot and has left this country full of holes, but the same is true. An opportunity to break the shackles and embark on the track of rapid development again. If you want to develop, the first thing to do is not to be affected. Then this requires enough power to protect Orb, which is waiting to be revived in an increasingly chaotic world."
"Director Symonds recommended you two to me. After knowing about you, I also got to know you a little bit and found that you are also very good pilots and fighters. Of course, now Mayu, you are as good as Billy in terms of experience. There is still a big gap between you and the captain, but I believe that you will soon grow to a truly qualified level. I have no doubt about this, and Bally, your fighting style and method are indeed worthy of Astray's reputation as the strongest pilot."
As he spoke, Xiao Ran stood up from the sofa, and Bally and Mayu saw Xiao Ran standing up, and were about to stand up, but Xiao Ran pressed his hand to let the two of them sit down, and just watched Xiao Ran walk to his desk, take out a stack of documents, then come back and sit in the previous position.
Xiao Ran first looked at the thing in his hand, and then handed it to Bally and Mayu separately. Only then did he speak again, "You guys should take a look at this thing first."
