If the two of them were not sure whether Xiao Ran was back before, A-LAWS's completely unreasonable actions made it completely certain.
A-LAWS was established because the original forces of the Three Kingdoms were powerless to deal with the heavenly beings. After the Three Kingdoms formed Earth Federation, a powerful force was established specifically to fight against the heavenly beings. It is also an independent force with a super high level and high configuration. It has the right to command local garrison troops and has the right to act independently without reporting.
This army has huge rights and independence that no other army can match. It has its own logistics organization, funding sources, independent research institutes, independent logistics departments, and independent channels for soldiers. It can even recruit any Federation soldiers to join the army.
In name only, Xiao Ran, as the first chief officer of this force, was greatly reused by Federation, and Xiao Ran did not disappoint those who reused him. He successfully led this force to solve the threat brought by heavenly beings to Federation, stabilize the earth's environment, and became the true Federation. In a situation where one family was the only one, Xiao Ran chose to retire and rest after making such great contributions to Federation. This was completely incomprehensible to many people at the time. With Xiao Ran's status at the time and his contribution, and the special nature of A-LAWS, it wouldn't take long for Federation to become the real military leader.
But even under such circumstances, Xiao Ran still handed over all his rights and chose to leave. Whether it was a real rest, recovery from the psychological trauma after the war, or a courageous retreat at a certain period of time, Federation did not forget that Xiao Ran Because of some reasons, this reason specifically refers to Ribbons, the real behind-the-scenes controller of A-LAWS and Federation. Therefore, even if Xiao Ran disappeared for several years, the identity of the nominal supreme commander of A-LAWS has not changed at all.
Even though the Deputy Commander named Goodman has controlled the rights of the entire A-LAWS at this time, and has made more contributions according to the ideas of the controller behind the scenes, Goodman has never become the true nominal leader of this force. From this point of view, the meaning of Xiao Ran to A-LAWS is very special, but more people hope that Xiao Ran can disappear forever.
But in A-LAWS, there are also people arranged by Xiao Ran, people who can't stand the current behavior of A-LAWS but are helpless in the game. Although these people have also made many great achievements in A-LAWS. Federation is technically good for the world, but he has been waiting for the return of Xiao Ran, waiting for Xiao Ran to truly lead A-LAWS back to the right path.
A-Laws was originally established to deal with heavenly beings, but as time went by, this force evolved into an independent security maintenance force in Earth Federation. Not only was it not limited in size, it gradually expanded due to the support of Ribbons. On the surface, its activities are for world peace and unification of the world. In fact, it uses high-pressure policies to combat anti-Earth Federation forces. What it does includes killing innocent people, using self-propelled weapons to massacre people who have no ability to resist, etc. It also has the most advanced armed forces currently.
Due to the intrusion of many participants in previous missions, Gundam is no longer unique to Celestial Beings, and with the addition of the GN-X technology provided by Ribbons, the standard body of A-LAWS now basically uses PS Armor, the new mass-produced Gundam of the GN-T type sun.
And because of the need for mass production, easy repair, maintenance and replenishment, it is very normal for the army to use one type of airframe. After repeated tests, the Solar Furnace derivative machine, which was based on the most versatile airframe Strike Gundam, became the most suitable choice. Of course, the current mass production model Solar Furnace Strike Gundam has also changed a lot from the original version. It is almost impossible to tell that it is the original Strike Gundam. Moreover, with the relationship of Solar Furnace, the military versatility of Strike Gundam has broken through the sky for this world. It can be said that A-LAWS is now much more powerful than in the original plot.
Speaking of which, the reason why A-LAWS became like this has a little bit to do with Xiao Ran, and it has more to do with certain members of the Burning Legion. It was the Eshe foursome who took out the Strike Gundam information obtained from SEED World, which allowed this Federation to have more things that they should not have originally. It was entirely the Eshe foursome who gave Burning Legion and changed the direction of Xiao Ran and increased the difficulty of the task.
In short, after the nature of A-LAWS was transformed from the anti-celestial and human response force to an independent security force, in order to maintain the balance of this force, Kati Manikin and Sergey Smirnov, two former commanders of AEU and Humanity Federation, were not removed from the team at all even though they clearly expressed some dissatisfaction with Goodman, Deputy Commander, but were only slightly restricted in their rights.
Under such circumstances, Kati and Sergey, two people who, although they obeyed the orders of A-LAWS, actually didn't really buy it. After Xiao Ran left for about half a year, they never really gathered together, and they rarely met Goodman in person. This time, these people unexpectedly began to move towards one place, for no other reason than to greet Xiao Ran.
And in addition to the people who opposed Goodman who began to rush to the town where Xiao Ran was with their men, Goodman himself also rushed there personally, and brought more people with him. It was rare for the first time in recent years that all the commanders of A-LAWS were moving towards one place. This situation can basically confirm the fact that Xiao Ran is back.
Among them, there are those who hope that Xiao Ran will be the leader of A-LWAS again, and there are also those who want Xiao Ran to disappear completely. Whoever can arrive early seems to be able to decide Xiao Ran's fate, but no matter what, some people who have rushed to the town have almost cleaned up the entire town, completely surrounded the town and trapped Xiao Ran in it.
Xiao Ran seems to have become a turtle in the urn, completely confined in the small town. The originally lively town has become deserted because of Xiao Ran. There is no passerby walking on the street. They are either kicked out of the town or restricted to different places.
But whether it was Goodman or Katie and Sergey, Heavenly Being or A-LAWS, many people were heading towards Xiao Ran. Before they dared to come and arrive, someone had already arrived in this town. Wearing loose white clothes dotted with green, they gently knocked on the door of the room where Xiao Ran was located.
When the door opened, Xiao Ran saw the guy with green hair who looked like a teenager but was actually an old man. Xiao Ran totally didn't expect that this guy would be willing to personally take risks and dare to appear in front of him when he was not sure whether he was harmful to him.
After all, in the past four years, although Ribbons did not take action against heaven and humans as he did with Xiao Ran, but only limited it to a certain range and let nature take its course, he did not achieve Aeolia's plan to truly change the world in four years. It just shrouded the whole world in darkness. In this way, the agreement reached with Xiao Ran was not qualified enough. Under such circumstances, even if Xiao Ran chose to impose sanctions on Ribbons, it would definitely not be considered a breach of promise.
The little surprise that flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes did not hide from Ribbons's eyes. Ribbons politely put his hands on his chest and bent slightly towards Xiao Ran: "Long time no see, Mr. Alex, welcome back again."
Ribbons's welcome seems to be saying that the phantom Xiao Ran has returned to the earth again, but it also seems to be saying that he is welcoming Xiao Ran to end his hidden life and reappear in the eyes of the world. Perhaps it also means welcoming Xiao Ran to rejoin A-LAWS, but no matter what the meaning is, it seems to indicate that he has no hostility towards Xiao Ran at all.
"Come in." Xiao Ran turned slightly to let Ribbons enter the room. At this time, Xiao Ran also knew from El-Elf that the entire town had been almost emptied, so he was not surprised that someone came to see him. What surprised him was that Ribbons came in person.
Because it was a temporarily rented room, it was very simple. After Ribbons walked into the room, he stood in the middle of the room and stopped. It was not until Xiao Ran closed the door and returned to the room that Ribbons said, "Mr. Alex seems to be surprised by my arrival?"
"It's a little bit." Xiao Ran did not deny his surprise after seeing Ribbons. He slightly raised his hand towards Li Feng towards the chair in the room to indicate that he could sit down, and then said, "I am not surprised that someone found me. Whether it is heavenly beings or your intelligence capabilities, I know very well that as long as I show up, I will be found. Not to mention that I made such a big noise when I landed on the earth. It is normal for you to get the news as soon as possible."
"What really surprised me was that you came to me in person." After Xiao Ran asked Ribbons to sit down, he found a place to sit down. He looked at Ribbons meaningfully and said, "Judging from past contacts, you should not be someone who easily commits danger. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?"
"Of course I'm afraid. With Alex's ability and skills as a reformer, I don't think I'm your match." Ribbons smiled slightly, knocked his legs and put his hands together on his knees, with a calm smile on his face, and said, "But I think I should still be of some use to you Alex, so I don't think you want to kill me."
After listening to Ribbons's words, Xiao Ran was slightly silent. Even if Xiao Ran returned to the team among the gods, he still couldn't kill Ribbons as the final BOSS. Even if Ribbons sat in front of Xiao Ran unprepared, he was worried. What I am worried about is not whether I can escape safely after killing Ribbons here. I can escape, but at least there is a certain degree of danger. What's more, if Wang Liu Mei really gets on the line with Ribbons, then the entire god at this time is Ribbons's trump card who dares to appear in front of Xiao Ran.
Besides, if people like Tieria and Ribbons are killed before disconnecting from VEDA, who knows whether their spirit and consciousness will escape into VEDA, even if Xiao Ran kills Ribbons, but is the person in front of him really Ribbons? What if he is just a puppet controlled by Ribbons's consciousness? Although this chance is very small, it is not impossible, because these artificial changers cannot be treated with common sense at all.
Xiao Ran did not speak, but Ribbons continued, "It has been four years since the last time I met you Alex. At that time, Alex you left a very deep impression on me and made me extremely afraid, so at that time I We made a deal. You will disappear for four years to ensure that the heavenly beings will not affect Aeolia's future plans. I will not take action against the heavenly beings and support all your actions. Now that the time has come, I wonder what Alex thinks of the current situation in the world, and is he satisfied with the current situation?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Ribbons and said, "Satisfied? I won't say whether your method is correct. I have no objection to the fact that reformers are higher than natural people and have a dominant position, but it has made the opposition of forces and countries that have not yet been incorporated into Federation become increasingly high., there are so-called terrorist attacks everywhere, and it has taken four years to truly unify the entire world and prepare for the upcoming dialogue. With the current situation, the world will be fine if there is no turmoil. If there is a violent shock, how can you carry out dialogue? You must know that dialogue may be peace, and it may also be war."
The expression on Ribbons's face did not change at all in response to Xiao Ran's words. He smiled and said, "The problems we are encountering now are temporary and deliberate. I have been waiting for you, Alex, to reappear, and then see the unification of this world in person under the witness of you, the most Pure Innovator. I believe that this day will come soon, because we have made all preparations for this day."
"Use satellite weapons to completely destroy those opposing forces and countries?" Xiao Ran asked back. Seeing Ribbons nodding leisurely, he shook his head and said, "Once you do this, the gods will inevitably appear again and become your biggest stumbling block. The whole world will also feel fear and fear because of such cruel actions. Sooner or later, such fear and fear will burst out. I don't think your method is feasible."
Ribbons spread his hands and said, "This world only needs true unity. In this process, certain sacrifices can be allowed, and those who are not suitable, those scum who only know how to eat away at the earth's resources, are eliminated, and the earth becomes clean. Only in this way can we bring better development to the world."
"Even if the heavenly beings appear again, will the current heavenly beings be our opponents? Of course, if Alex you can return to Federation, the heavenly beings will be even less worth mentioning. With our strength united, the world will be truly unified."
