Once the three nations formed the Earth Federation, it would be governed by a unified regime. Aside from regional divisions, the Earth Federation would no longer have any concept of nations. As for which country someone had originally come from, the higher-ups might not care at all. What mattered was what the people they selected could bring them—prestige or profit.
After receiving Xiao Ran's reply, the President left in satisfaction, naturally taking with him the research results obtained by the new MS development agency. Once Xiao Ran had seen the President off, he returned to his office and remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Ran had learned from the President that the preliminary work for the integration of the three nations would begin within the next few days. By then, both the government and military would become busy. Other than senior officers in each region, all existing military personnel would be broken up and reassigned elsewhere. As for who would stay and who would leave in the Japanese Special Economic Zone, Xiao Ran would personally sign off on that list.
However, the highest-priority matter in forming the Earth Federation was the affairs concerning that independent force. As for the Japanese Special Economic Zone, Xiao Ran had long regarded it as his own private territory. Even if he became the commander of that force, he would never simply hand this place over to someone else.
At present, Celestial Being's most important first base was within the jurisdiction of the Japanese Special Economic Zone. Celestial Being's four mobile suits and temporary Command Post were also within the Japanese Special Economic Zone. Moreover, once Xiao Ran was gone, many matters would not withstand investigation—for example, where those captured participants and prisoners had gone. There was simply no way to explain such things.
