In Klein's mansion, Xiao Ran, Lax, Tinia, Katya, and Melua were sitting quietly in the heavily guarded garden, watching the live broadcast of the battle on TV.
The battle on TV was intense and tense. The attacks from both sides were back and forth. From time to time, there would be images of the Zaft army's MS or the Allied army's MA and battleships being destroyed. After the initial missile attack, the Zaft army's rapid counterattack had made it impossible for the Allied army to launch another blanket attack. The forces of the Allied army and the Zaft army were completely mixed together, turning into a fierce battle royale.
Although the situation and tactics of this kind of battle were correct, in Xiao Ran's eyes, they were just rookies attacking each other. There was no technical advantage at all. One side relied on their numbers, and the other side relied on their advanced weapons. In terms of casualties, the Allied army was indeed much more powerful than the Zaft army. From the TV screen, one could feel the strength of the Zaft army.
From the perspective of Xiao Ran, who stood at a higher position, this battle was not worth learning from at all. However, Xiao Ran still watched the TV screen with great interest.
The Allied army that appeared in the TV screen was not only the Allied army from the SEED world that Xiao Ran was familiar with. In addition to the Allied army's MA, there were also some other models of MA due to the chaotic world. In other words, they looked like MA but were bigger than MA. In fact, they were actually super-small battleships. These were the flying sparrows from the mobile battleships.
Xiao Ran watched the TV screen with great interest. Lax also stared at the TV screen in silence. Neither of them spoke. The three girls who had been happily interacting with Lax for a few days could not sit still. Katya gritted her teeth and did not say anything. The gentler Melua was fidgeting with her arms crossed in front of her. Tinia was standing and stomping her feet from time to time, glaring at Xiao Ran with a displeased expression.
Feeling the restlessness of the three girls, Xiao Ran also retracted his gaze from the TV. After glancing at the three girls, he finally looked at Tinia and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tinia pointed at the image on the TV and yelled at Xiao Ran, "Why? You clearly have the ability to stop this war, so why are you sitting here as if nothing happened? That's a war we're talking about! Didn't you come to PLANT to help them? Isn't this the time for you to help them?"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "That's right. I came to PLANT to help them, but I've already helped PLANT by giving them the neutron jammer and the new MS technology. I've also sent Eagle out just in case. What else do you want me to do?"
Xiao Ran did not know that the Flying Eagle was near Unius 7. Although a neutron jammer had been set up here to disable the nuclear bombs launched, there was no guarantee that the United Nations would not temporarily change their target after detecting that the nuclear bombs had been disabled. Therefore, the Flying Eagle's mission was to intercept all the nuclear bombs and destroy all the troops that launched the nuclear bombs.
"Of course it's to fight," Tinia said matter-of-factly. "You're so powerful. As long as you help the ZAFT army, the war can end in an instant."
"But this is not my battle." Xiao Ran spread his hands and shook his head. "This is ZAFT's own battle, and it has nothing to do with me. This is the path PLNAT chose, so we must make PLNAT understand what they will encounter on this path. Whether it is sacrifice or pain, these are all things PLANT will have to experience in the future. I have already tried to avoid the greatest pain for PLANT, and that is enough for me. I have no obligation or need to do anything else to help PLANT or ZAFT."
"And if I don't experience battle, how will I know the value of peace? Even if I can help PLANT this time, what about next time? What about next time? How much can I help PLANT? After all, I'll have to leave this world eventually. Plant and Aube need to be strong to protect themselves. They can't rely on others. "
"Ahhhhhhh!" Tina screamed as she tugged at her hair. However, right at this moment, Lacus appeared beside her and gently held onto Tina's hand. She then turned to Tina with a gentle smile and shook her head as she said, "Mr. Xiao Ran is right. This is a battle that belongs to PLANT, and Mr. Xiao Ran has no obligation to intervene. After all, this is the path that we chose, so we should be responsible for it, even if we have to sacrifice more."
"Also, from Mr. Xiao Ran's perspective, the soldiers of ZAFT are his subordinates in the other world, but the soldiers of the United Nations are also his subordinates. This way, there is no need to hurt the other side for our sake. In our world, both sides have nothing to do with Mr. Xiao Ran. The fact that Mr. Xiao Ran sent an eagle to help us and gave us the technology and neutron jammers is already a great help."
"Plant is our home. It is only right for us to protect it."
Tinia looked at Lax in a daze. In the end, she waved her hand and said, "Aiya, I don't care about you guys anymore."
Then, she sat down, hugged her hands, and turned her head away. She didn't look at Xiao Ran and Lax, nor did she look at the things that were playing on the television.
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, ignoring Tinia. Xiao Ran wouldn't participate in this battle no matter what others said. Unless Siegel and Patrick came over and handed the entire PLANT to Xiao Ran, then perhaps Xiao Ran would really use Breaking Dawn to crush the United Nations. However, this was obviously impossible, so Xiao Ran naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
To put it bluntly, this world's PLANT had nothing to do with Xiao Ran. It was already very special to send out the Flying Eagle, the technology, and the neutron jammer. It was also because both sides could cooperate that Xiao Ran did this. Otherwise, Xiao Ran wouldn't care about PLANT at all.
The battle between the United Nations and PLANT lasted for a day and a night. Both sides didn't relax or retreat in the slightest. Instead, they continued to pour in more and more troops, making the range of the battle bigger and bigger. At the same time, both sides suffered more and more losses and sacrifices.
However, all this didn't affect Xiao Ran. He ate and drank as he pleased. Even though the battlefield was not far from this satellite, Xiao Ran still did what he wanted to do without Bihan. However, Lax knew that Xiao Ran had actually sent the Giant Whale out. Although it was only guarding this satellite, it at least ensured the safety of her and the three girls.
In the middle of the night, there was a hurried knock on the door. Xiao Ran, who was resting in bed, suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Ran, who was only wearing pajamas, put on a shirt and opened the door. He saw Lax, who was wearing a pink pajamas, standing outside the door with a nervous expression.
Lax was also stunned when she saw Xiao Ran when she opened the door. Especially that pair of eyes that were not covered with any concealment, Lax was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Xiao Ran gently patted her on the shoulder that Lax came back to her senses. She quickly said, "Mr. Xiao Ran, father just called. He said that the reconnaissance team he sent out has found the nuclear bomb commandos of the United Nations and confirmed that the United Nations will launch a nuclear attack on us."
