Cruze and Durandal stayed in Captain's Room for more than two hours after Xiao Ran and the others left. What did they say inside? Others didn't know it clearly, but when the two walked out of Captain's Room, the habitual smile on Cruze's face didn't change much, while Durandal seemed much quieter.
The two people came out of Captain's Room without bothering other people. Instead, Cruze, who was familiar with the ship, took Durandal directly to the bridge to meet Xiao Ran again. At this time, Z Captain Talia has left first with Heine, and Athrun has taken off his red military uniform representing ZAFT and put on the colonel's military uniform representing Orb.
Durandal noticed the change in Athrun when he walked into Captain's Room, but there was no strange reaction on his somewhat silent face. Instead, Athrun felt very apologetic and walked up to Durandal, saluted Durandal and then said sorry.
"I'm sorry, Speaker Durandal. I have known about Zhen and Lei for a long time, but I concealed it for them. I am also very sorry for leaving ZAFT and returning to Orb this time."
"It doesn't matter." Durandal didn't smile until this, and shook his head slightly at Athrun and said, "I told you when you joined FAITH, all you need to follow is your own beliefs and ideas, and FAITH, in addition to loyalty, also represents belief. You have nothing wrong with this."
Athrun smiled apologetically after hearing Durandal's words, "Thank you, Speaker Durandal."
Now because of Xiao Ran's situation, Durandal has not had time or has no idea of taking action against Athrun yet, so the relationship between the two has not been affected too much, especially Athrun himself concealed the truth for Zhen and Lei and Durandal has not yet started his real plan. Athrun does feel a little sorry for Durandal who believed in him and allowed him to return to ZAFT.
Xiao Ran also came over at this time, looked at Cruze and Durandal, and said with a smile, "It seems that you guys had a good chat."
Cruze smiled lightly and said nothing. Athrun took two steps back and stood behind Xiao Ran. Durandal said, "Sorry to bother you. After so long, I will contact other forces later and convey the ideas proposed by Lord Xiao Ran to them. I will also do my best to promote this matter. In addition, I will also prepare for cosmic matters, so I will take my leave."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Speaker Durandal. I will handle it as soon as possible and prepare it in the shortest possible time." Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and gently touched Durandal He shook his hand, then turned to look at Athrun and said, "Athrun, please send Speaker Durandal back to Minerva safely."
"Yes." Athrun nodded, raised his hand to Speaker Durandal and said, "Speaker Durandal, please follow me."
It wasn't until Athrun and Durandal left the bridge that Xiao Ran looked at Cruze again and asked, "What did you two say to stay in there for so long?"
Cruze spread his hands and said, "I didn't say anything. I just discussed the current situation of the world and helped him improve his original plan. But it is a pity that he decided to give up in the end even though he had a chance to fulfill his dream."
Xiao Ran looked at Cruze's indifferent expression, shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid you scared others."
Cruze and Durandal did talk about Destiny Plan, and even talked about the problem of Junius 7. Cruze even told Durandal and with a half-smile. He already knows what Junius 7's situation is, but neither Xiao Ran nor Cruze has any intention to pursue it. Of course, the prerequisite is that Durandal really has no intention of becoming an enemy of Orb.
Cruze did complete his plan for Durandal, including formulating an assassination plan for Xiao Ran, etc. But the more this happened, the more Durandal felt unsure about it. In addition, Durandal was ready to give up and continue to execute Destiny Plan, so the two later decided to discuss the situation. Time was put at the beginning, and a new plan was deduced that Destiny Plan could implement with greater success. Durandal bluntly told Cruze that if time could change again, he would definitely proceed according to such a plan, but it is a pity that the situation has developed to the current level, and any plan is useless.
And when Durandal was talking to Cruze, he also felt that Cruze's grasp of people's hearts was even more terrifying, and he completely put himself in the position of Xiao Ran, and followed Xiao Ran wholeheartedly. 's mentality also made Durandal feel filled with emotion. Not to mention before, after understanding Cruze's thoughts, Durandal has no intention of continuing to implement Destiny Plan.
"If he is so easily intimidated, he is not qualified to take this step today." Cruze raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I told him not to be an enemy of Orb, but you proposed to establish a new organization to replace the alliance. So you have no interest in other parts of the world?"
"It's not that there is no interest at all, but the subjective consciousness of human beings in this world is too strong. It is enough to maintain such a situation to ensure peace and stability. There is no need to do some unnecessary things to make yourself look like an aggressor." Xiao Ran slowly walked to the side of the bridge, through the transparent He looked through the glass at the nearby Minerva, making sure that no one else in the bridge could hear the conversation between the two of them, and said, "Other things of interest can be obtained through transactions. After all, apart from people, other things in this world are not of great significance to us."
Cruze also walked to Xiao Ran and said, "Although it is not difficult to invade, with the power of the fleet and the integration, not to mention crushing, at least it can be pushed flatly. The most technologically advanced organization in the world, Akatsuki Works, D. S. S. D. Scrap Merchant Guild is already in hand. PLANT will adopt a cooperative attitude to receive the remaining Research Institution from the alliance. There is indeed not much need for other things. But in this case, have you thought about who will be the leader of the organization? Don't tell me that you plan to take the position yourself."
Xiao Ran touched his chin and thought while saying, "Of course it's impossible for me, but I need someone who has connections with all parties, has the ability and background, can control the situation, and can really receive support. There are not many such people. At least the people who joined the original alliance cannot be used. East Asian Federation doesn't say whether they are willing, but It is not appropriate to let someone from them serve as the first chief officer. It seems that the first chief officer can only be served by people from Orb and PLANT. Lacus? Isn't that girl too young? Although she is very popular in PLANT, the level of support will be much worse if she comes to the world."
"If that's the case, I have a suitable candidate to recommend." Cruze turned to look at Xiao Ran with a faint smile, and this expression made Xiao Ran react instantly. "You mean Durandal?"
"Yes." Cruze nodded slightly and said, "Although Durandal gave up his plan, after all, our situation cannot guarantee that we can stay here at any time. We can suppress him when we are here, but if one day we leave, the key changes in a war may only take a moment, and once we He has to leave for at least a month. Who can ensure that he will not have other ideas after he has figured out our rules. It is not appropriate for him to continue to stay in PLANT. We cannot control what research he does behind the scenes, but if he resigns as the speaker of PLANT and becomes the chief officer of the new organization, at least all his actions can be under our supervision."
Xiao Ran glanced at Cruze, smiled slightly and nodded lightly, "Then PLANT will be taken over by Lacus. With Lacus's character and ideas, PLANT will truly become a peaceful country with her presence."
Cruze also laughed. The two of them actually talked about the future decisions of PLANT and the future decisions of Durandal and Lacus. When they talked about this, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, it was very simple and natural.
Xiao Ran has no ambitions for this world. With the fleet, there is a large territory of the universe. With the Unity Army, there is the entire world of 0079. And the important things in this world have basically fallen into the hands of Xiao Ran. Orb, Akatsuki Works, D. S. S. D, Scrap Merchant Guild, and other things actually have no appeal to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran just needs to ensure that the world can go on peacefully. Everything else is indifferent.
Once the decision was made, Xiao Ran's order caused Orb to become extremely decisive and swift. Among the entire Earth Force base, Xiao Ran not only allowed people to get this base After obtaining the research data of the earth and some Technicians, they directly dispersed Orb's troops. They also dispersed Silver Hand and began the finishing work on the earth's LOGOS, completely giving up the base.
As for ZAFT, under the order of Durandal, it also did not show any intention to occupy the base. Like Xiao Ran, people received research materials, and even Technicians did not As soon as it was divided, it voluntarily withdrew from the base, and with the contact of Durandal, countries all over the world also received information about the new organization, and even proposed to use the general base that originally belonged to Earth Force as the headquarters of the new organization.
The actions of both Orb and ZAFT also allowed other forces to see that this matter had been confirmed by both parties, and it also received an enthusiastic response from around the world. Everyone was talking about this new organization that was about to replace the alliance.
After Orb and ZAFT retreat, the rest of the work in this base will be completely taken over by the cooperative forces. As for the space affairs, except East Asian Federation, which can help some, other large and small forces simply do not have such conditions. A Space Fleet is a huge gate in front of these large and small forces.
So while the Orb troops and the ZAFT troops were spreading out, both sides were also seizing the time to prepare to transport troops to the universe. ZAFT's defensive troops near the PLANT had also begun to approach the moon, and even at the suggestion of Xiao Ran, they began to search for and clean up various Requiem nodes scattered in the universe in advance.
In this process, Side Mission One finally got a hint of completion. As expected, it was still the consistent style of Prometheus. As long as Prometheus complied with the task, it would give a glimmer of hope, even those Photocopy Person belonging to Xiao Ran. The same was true for the Photocopy Person belonging to Xiao Ran. After using the original Earth Force Enhanced Human to 'collapse strengthen' the genes, and using the treatment cabin for treatment, it was an alternative solution that eliminated the existence of the relationship.
The mission reward of 50,000 Merit Points and ten attribute points was received. As a random reward, I got a skill and a component. However, after all, all the advancement and follow-up of the Library Official's Destruction were created by him, so it makes sense to get such a reward. The skill is a A-Class Skill, and just A-Class Skill is already worth a lot of money, and this is also the third A-Class Skill that Xiao Ran got. The two A-Class Skills he got before have become the most inseparable key to his growth to this day, and what will the third A-Class Skill bring to him.
Instant Burst: A-Class Skill, cannot be upgraded. When used, the energy consumption is fully increased Mecha Performance. The percentage value is increased according to the skill mastery ability Mecha Performance. Each time it consumes 3 points of energy.
When he got this skill, Xiao Ran didn't think that this skill had any qualifications to be rated as A-level. Apart from the clear mental consumption, the rest of the description was quite vague. However, since it can be rated as A-Class Skill, Xiao Ran never believed that this skill was as simple as the description. Perhaps it was because he was not able to understand the true ability of this skill because of his insufficient conditions.
The component is just a B-level backpack component, Light Wheel Thruster. Logically speaking, a real light-wing thruster cannot be just a B-level component anyway. However, this component is exactly what the name says. It is the backpack main body of a thruster without other external equipment. It looks similar to the Stargazer Gundam thruster without the ring-shaped ring of external equipment, but it is obviously more complete. However, the specific situation must be tested to know.
But in the next Side Mission 2, due to the different status of each participant in the world and the resources they can control, the tasks they received were also different. For example, Xiao Ran, his task was to serve The Photocopy Person Legion provides a Colony Satellite and sends the satellite to the Mars colony. One hundred thousand reward points plus an unknown Technical Blueprint. Compared with the work required in the middle of this mission, this reward is just right.
For example, the mission that Eshe and the others received was to use a tracker sent by Prometheus to hunt down the remnants of librarians all over the world and destroy all information about librarians. The reward will be determined according to the process of the mission.
