Although the first main mission only required him to occupy a territory as his base camp, it was precisely this mission that gave Xiao Ran a variety of options to complete the mission. Occupation, peace talks, integration, or invasion could all achieve the purpose of this mission. The large degree of freedom made Xiao Ran very vigilant.
In addition, this was a special mission. According to the information Lao Luo told him about special missions a long time ago, and the faction bias of the All-Metal Frenzy, Xiao Ran even felt that the way he completed the first stage of the mission was likely to affect the direction of the next two stages of the mission. Therefore, he had to be more cautious in dealing with the first stage of the mission.
But with Xiao Ran's understanding of the World Federation, or rather the forces called the Federation in each world, even if 'outsiders' like them had a clear identity on Earth, there was a 70% chance of conflict and war breaking out if they wanted to obtain an independent territory as their base camp.
Arrogance, arrogance, and self-righteousness had basically become the representative words of a faction like the Federation. They clearly did not have any faction, yet they always acted like they were the boss. If it were not for the fact that they had such a main character team under them, they would definitely be beaten to a pulp by the other factions. The most typical example was the world of SEED, which was a representative of being completely beaten to the ground.
Then there was his identity. His inexplicable identity seemed to bring him some convenience in quickly integrating into Earth, but the fact that he knew nothing about this identity meant that this identity was destined to be a trap. It was still hard to tell whether it was a big trap or a small trap, but if it could bring convenience, it would naturally bring some trouble as well. It was completely a double-edged sword, and it all depended on whether Xiao Ran could grasp this double-edged sword and understand it.
In addition, Xiao Ran did not have a good impression of the Federation, and he could not do too much in Mission No. 1 without figuring out the problems left by his identity. Therefore, he had to find a more harmonious way to integrate into Earth and obtain a territory of his own. Naturally, he had to find a suitable ally. DC and Satellite Integration were the most suitable choices.
Xiao Ran entered the bridge of the Steel under the leadership of the landing team members. As soon as he walked into the bridge, he felt the quiet but tense atmosphere. After looking at the members in the bridge, Xiao Ran slowly walked around the entire bridge as if he was inspecting his own territory. He looked here and there, nodding slightly from time to time.
The whole bridge looked very clean and huge. It was much bigger than the bridge of the Galaxy Songstress, but it was naturally incomparable to the new MACROSS class.
After strolling around for a while, Xiao Ran slowly walked towards the silent iron captain and the adjutant Tie Zai who was standing on the side of the iron captain.
Xiao Ran only stopped when he was about three steps away from the two men. He put his hands behind his back and smiled as he looked at the two men in front of him. They were the famous captain and his successor, Tetsuya. Speaking of which, the captain and Jeffree looked somewhat similar. Their hairstyles were similar, and their beards were similar as well. The only difference was the color of their beards. Furthermore, they both liked to smoke tobacco pipes. The similarity was off the charts.
Xiao Ran looked up at Jay Vry, who was standing in front of the bridge door with a pipe in his mouth, and smiled gently. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Xiao Ran, the Great President of the Immigration Fleet."
"In such an occasion, I really can't feel happy at all." The Iron Captain reached out and took the pipe in his mouth. He slowly stood up and supported his old but burly body. He looked at Xiao Ran calmly and said, "Shui Wucai Big Tetsuya, Captain of the Iron Ship of the Earth Federation Army."
"Earth Federation Army, huh." Xiao Ran smiled. Although he did not deliberately show it and was even very calm and ordinary, the faint disdain in his laughter could still be heard.
Tetsuya also frowned after seeing Xiao Ran's smile. He looked at Xiao Ran with eyes full of anger. Big Tetsuya, on the other hand, remained calm as usual. Although the other members of the bridge were also angry, under the black muzzles of the surrounding landing troops, they could only express their dissatisfaction with their expressions.
Xiao Ran suddenly asked, "The Earth Federation will soon disappear. I'm curious to ask, if the Earth Federation is gone, will you still be the Captain of the Iron Ship of the Federation Army?"
The Iron Captain was as calm as if it had nothing to do with him. He said, "Then I'll disappear with the Earth Federation. At least until I die, I'll always be a member of the Earth Federation."
Xiao Ran nodded and continued to ask, "Does it mean that you and the Earth Federation will live and die together? Is this your intention or the intention of everyone on this ship?"
The Iron Captain remained silent and did not answer Xiao Ran's question because he could not make any decisions for anyone other than himself. Now that he was captured and the mission was declared a failure, Tetsuya, who was behind him, could not help but suddenly speak up. "The Captain's decision is my decision!"
Tetsuya might have said this in an impulsive situation, but like Tetsuya, he did not include anyone else in the scope of this sentence. Although he was not mature enough, he still had a good sense of responsibility.
"You're a very noble person. You won't put your subordinates in danger because of your impulsiveness." Xiao Ran nodded. He admired Tetsuya's quality, but Xiao Ran did not lack people with such quality among his subordinates. Just looking at the captain alone, Mary, Jay Vry, Bakirulu, and Aube's Colonel Hugao were all people with such quality. There were even more people like them in World 0079.
Needless to say, in terms of ability, Mary, Jay Vry, and Bakirulu were not inferior to Tetsuya. Therefore, Tetsuya was not important in Xiao Ran's mind at all. However, Tetsuya and the Iron Dragon Squadron were tied together, so Xiao Ran had to pay more attention to him.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency, but I don't think I'm a noble person. The fact that I'm still here is the best proof." The Iron Captain said calmly, "Now that we're your captives, I wonder what arrangements you have for us next."
