Xiao Ran, who returned to Orb, had no idea what Durandal was calculating. Before he returned to Orb, many soldiers who had escaped from the alliance had already arrived at Orb. Without being able to tell how many intelligence personnel there were among them, Mina made arrangements to receive these soldiers as soon as possible.
And at the same time, these soldiers were told that if they are willing to stay and fight for Orb, they will be officially incorporated into the Orb Army later. If they are tired of fighting, Orb will give them a normal identity so that they can live in Orb permanently or temporarily.
Some soldiers choose to join Orb Army, and there are also some who flee the alliance and choose to leave the army because they are unwilling to continue fighting. Some of these people are very willing to join Orb, but some just hope to stay in Orb temporarily and return to their hometowns after the war stops.
But no matter how these soldiers choose, it is an undeniable fact that what they brought has greatly enhanced the strength of Orb, so Mina also rationally gave these soldiers enough rewards. These rewards are basically monetary, and the amount is enough for these people to live carefree for a long time, at least more money than they can get after normal retirement.
You must know that the actual cost of a battleship and the actual cost of a mobile suit are not low. The number of Earth Force's MSs brought by these soldiers alone is a large amount. In addition to the large number of battleships, Mina chose to use money to compensate these soldiers. For For Orb, it is still extremely cost-effective, and Mina also remembers what Xiao Ran said, regardless of the cost or consequences. The cost development strategy, spending so much money in exchange for so much combat power and time, is also in full compliance with the development requirements set by Xiao Ran.
Although Mina doesn't understand why Xiao Ran chooses this regardless of the cost, even if Orb is completely immersed in debt and deficit, he still has to develop Military Strength's thoughts, but she still chose to stand on the same line as Xiao Ran, because she knew that Xiao Ran was definitely not a desperate idiot, and there must be reasons for doing so that she could not understand.
But Mina believes in Xiao Ran, but the other girl who is grounded basically loses her temper in her room every day. In the case of Orb Cagalli knows very well that although he has not participated in the real work and has been stripped of all rights, this does not prevent Cagalli from understanding the current situation of Orb through certain channels.
Especially after seeing the declarations of Xiao Ran and Durandal on the TV news, they were so angry that they couldn't even eat. On the day Xiao Ran returned to Orb, he rushed out of the mansion., but it is a pity that the people taking care of Cagalli and guarding Cagalli are all people arranged by Xiao Ran. As soon as Cagalli broke out of the mansion, he was stopped by a group of men in black and carried back to the house.
These people who look at Cagalli every day, the more they know about Cagalli, the more they are absolutely convinced that Cagalli is not suitable to be the leader of a country. They are also more likely to compare Xiao Ran with Cagalli. The result of the comparison is naturally Cagalli's complete defeat, incompetence, impulsiveness, stubbornness, bad temper, not calm enough, unable to see the situation clearly, etc., made those who guarded Cagalli more and more dissatisfied with her. Although they still maintained a certain amount of respect on the surface, they really did not treat Cagalli as an important figure in the country.
The side shown by Cagalli gradually spread out and became known to more and more people. In the days when Xiao Ran was away from Orb, Mina also knew about it, but did not impose any control on these rumors. Instead, he took a default attitude and allowed these rumors that were increasingly unfavorable to Cagalli to continue to spread.
After Xiao Ran returned to Orb, he had no time to care about Cagalli, because after the press conference, his Main Mission 2 was finally triggered, and all Main Mission participants in the Orb camp were also triggered at that moment.
"Main Mission Two, disintegrate LOGOS and destroy the remaining forces of LOGOS. The mission can be completed when the mission completion rate reaches 60%."
This is a personal completion task. As long as you pay more in the action against LOGOS, the completion level will naturally increase faster. This personal completion level may only require a few people to defeat a LOGOS base, and then they can directly complete Main Mission 2. If there are too many participants attacking a base at the same time, the completion level that each person can increase will naturally be less on average.
If each participant can increase their completion level to 60%, it means that the LOGOS organization has almost been divided and disintegrated. Therefore, from the description of the task, it is not a mistake as long as the completion level is 60%.
This task also gives Xiao Ran a reason to personally join the action against LOGOS. Of course, he can also let Cruze, Luo or Mwu complete this task for him, but Cruze is behind Heaven's Pillar, Luo is in Akatsuki Works, and Mwu has no way to operate MS to fight, so he can only personally participate in the mission, leading the three fleets that have rushed over in advance to deal with LOGOS, and personally driving Justice Gundam during the battle to improve his completion level.
When Xiao Ran joins the mission, of course he will not just set the goal at 60% completion. Sixty percent completion is at most a D or C-level evaluation, and Xiao Ran's goal is to obtain a higher evaluation, because only in this way can he get better rewards.
As for the librarians, it would be a good time to take advantage of the chaos of the alliance to go to the universe and eliminate the librarians. Durandal and Xiao Ran are both waiting for the moment when Earth Force completely disintegrates the remaining power and abandons the earth and goes to Moon Base. Therefore, they have the time and opportunity to take advantage of the present to solve the threat of the librarians.
This is an excellent opportunity. Once you give up this opportunity, you will have to wait until the threat of Durandal is completely eliminated until the final battle before you can gather strength to deal with the librarians. Originally, Xiao Ran planned to wait until Kira, Athrun After, Zhen, Lei and others came to Orb and obtained the new body, they used decisive power to eliminate the librarians in one fell swoop. This would also ensure that the library's information would not be mastered by Durandal, but now Xiao Ran's ideas have changed.
Because he remembered that during the battle in this world two years ago, the librarians also got into the alliance and fought with them. If the same situation occurs again this time, and the librarians and the alliance get involved, then it will probably become more difficult to deal with LOGOS.
Judging from the resources at its disposal, LOGOS is definitely capable of using librarians' technology to quickly enhance its military strength on a large scale, and librarians will also use the power of LOGOS to achieve more development. If the two organizations do not come together, it will be fine. Once they cooperate, it will be explosive development for both parties. It is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Now Orb and PLANT are in the honeymoon period of their cooperation. In addition, three of the five pilots on Minerva are already their own. There should be no problem in ensuring that ZAFT cannot obtain the power of the librarian. But what is lacking is the body of Athrun. After all, Athrun is currently piloting in ZAFT. It's just that Blazing Tiger cannot really exert the full strength of Athrun, so it cannot have the real effect it should have. It is really a bit frustrating that a person with the strongest combat power cannot fly a machine that matches his strength. It also reminds Xiao Ran that even if he has his own dedicated landline, it is best to prepare one or two backup machines when performing missions.
It was obviously too late for Luo to hurry up and get one earlier. It would take a long time to manufacture a new machine suitable for Athrun, although four machines were manufactured and delivered to Sven in the previous month. Emilio four people, but if it actually takes twenty days to manufacture one machine body, then manufacturing one more machine will only take a few more days on top of the twenty days at most. If it is mass production, the time to manufacture one machine body is actually no different from the time to manufacture ten machines.
However, although there is not enough time to make a new body, and the first batch of the new Mass-produced Mecha of Akatsuki Works, which is the variable form of Thermonuclear Energy Engine, Mass-produced Mecha, has not yet been rolled off the production line, it can be completed in a day or two using existing parts to make a suitable backpack. If Luo works hard, it can be completed in a day or two with the entry-level Mechanist Equipment.
So after deciding to attack the library, Xiao Ran directly contacted Durandal and told Durandal that he had found the librarian's nest and needed Minerva, regarding the cooperation with the ZAFT space army, Durandal has never put aside the threat of the librarian. He also has the same idea as Xiao Ran. The librarian must not interact with LOG. OS are connected together, and this attack on the Librarian Universe Base, even if the information is not obtained, Orb cannot get the information, so Xiao Ran immediately agreed to send troops to attack the Librarian's base. And directly dispatched two fleets, allowing Minerva to go to the universe immediately. At the same time, Orb Army Space Fleet, who was guarding Heaven's Pillar, would also participate in this operation.
After making an agreement with Durandal, Xiao Ran immediately summoned all the members of Silver Hand, including those participants, and began to prepare to go to the universe, but because of Silver Hand There were too many MS heading to the universe this time, and Second Archangel alone could not carry them all. Kusanagi, a battleship that had not been used in two years, also saw the sun again.
