Old man Raphael was stunned. "What do you mean? Do you think that the MS that appeared came from extraterrestrial life forms?"
Xiao Ran shook his head. He naturally would not tell old man Raphael that those participants were not earthlings. Even if he was an earthling, he was definitely not from this world.
"I didn't say that, but these airframes appeared just as my organization was about to take action. And as soon as they appeared, they began to attack our military base. It's hard to say what the organization that created these airframes is plotting."
Old man Raphael lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he suddenly asked, "How can I guarantee that the organization behind you is not in cahoots with the airframes that attacked the military base? It's just a show for the organization behind you to appear."
"If you join my organization, you'll understand that the airframes of the organization behind me and the airframes we captured belong to two completely different technologies." Xiao Ran shrugged and said, "Even my Dark Heresy is completely different because it was independently developed by my family. The energy source is different, and the weapons are different. I think you should know very well that no country can climb a different technology tree."
Raphael had to agree with what Xiao Ran said because even such a big world had the same consensus in terms of technology. And it was very difficult for a country to overthrow existing technology and develop new technology from scratch, let alone an organization.
"I'll only believe it when I see and hear it with my own eyes." Old man Raphael held his cane with both hands and knocked it on the floor twice. Then he stood up. "Before I really understand it, I won't join your so-called organization, but you can rest assured that I won't expose your identity either."
"Thank you." Xiao Ran was relieved and smiled at old man Raphael. "Mr. Raphael, if you want to see it in person, I can arrange it at any time."
"In a few days." Old man Raphael shook his head and said, "Let's do what needs to be done first. I agree to go with you to see it. It doesn't mean that I will definitely join your organization. I'm just doing it for my favorite disciple. Don't misunderstand. "
"I know, Mr. Raphael." Xiao Ran put the mask back on his face. He supported the old man Raphael and walked out. "It's already late today. I'll have someone arrange for Mr. Raphael to rest. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone send Mr. Raphael over. Is that okay?"
"Yes." Raphael nodded and replied, "After a few hours of flight, I'm indeed a little tired. I'll leave it to you. "
Xiao Ran smiled and quickly sent people to take old man Raphael to rest. After old man Raphael left, Xiao Ran also let out a sigh of relief as if he had relaxed.
When he returned to the office, Xiao Ran saw Moke's adjutant waiting for him. After returning the greeting, Xiao Ran asked, "What's the matter?"
"General, the news of a third party participating in today's battle has been leaked. The video of the five mechs that appeared in today's battle has started to circulate on the internet. Many news organizations have started to broadcast it. General Moke asked me to inform you. He wants to know what we should do. "
Xiao Ran wasn't surprised by the adjutant's words. The appearance of the Celestial Beings couldn't be kept a secret. Even if no reporters or civilians took photos of these things, VEDA would take the initiative to post the battle records online and officially announce the existence of the Celestial Beings to the world.
And now, the leaked video was only the beginning. After tomorrow, it would be time for Aeolia to make his debut.
However, since Moke had sent someone to ask him, Xiao Ran had to give him an answer. He said, "Let's wait and see for now. We'll wait for the local side's reaction."
The adjutant nodded. He said, "Yes, General. I'll pass the message to Brigadier General Moke."
Xiao Ran grunted and asked, "When can the special prison cells be delivered?"
The adjutant replied, "They should be delivered in three to four hours."
"Okay, pass the order. Guard the captives and increase the security. Don't let anyone come within fifty meters of them and have any contact with them. "
"Yes." The adjutant saluted Xiao Ran. When he saw that Xiao Ran had nothing else to say, he said, "Then I'll take my leave, General."
"Go." After Moke's adjutant left the office and closed the door. Xiao Ran also lay on the bed in the lounge behind the office. After a while, he closed his eyes.
Due to his willingness to fight, Xiao Ran had expended quite a bit of energy. This was especially true for his mental power. If it weren't for the fact that he had so much work to do, Xiao Ran would've long since fallen asleep.
No one disturbed Xiao Ran in the middle of his sleep. He slept until the next morning when he was woken up. This sleep allowed Xiao Ran's spirit to fully recover.
About an hour later, a ceremony began on the deck of the main ship. In the midst of military music, the president's special envoy announced the new appointment letter. He officially announced that Xiao Ran was the highest military officer in the Japanese Special Economic Zone. After that, he handed the appointment letter to Xiao Ran, along with a new military uniform and military rank.
Xiao Ran was also present to officially appoint Graham and the other pilots. He truly confirmed the promotion of Graham and the other pilots. It was not like the previous temporary promotion without any procedures. The announcement this time could be considered to have officially included the military positions of these pilots into the records and were recognized by the entire Union.
After the ceremony, Xiao Ran personally sent the old man Raphael to the military base. At this time, several huge structural plank houses had been temporarily built in the military base. The recovered MS wreckage and the MK-II Gundam were in these plank houses at this time.
On the tarmac, a flat area had also been cleared. A special cell made of E-carbon armor was placed there overnight. The captive participants were locked up in it. None of the participants were locked up alone and were monitored 24 hours a day. Perhaps it was because they had stayed in the open for too long before, without food or water, everyone seemed a little dispirited.
Other than that, after a night of searching and clearing, most of the places in the base had been cleared out. A few survivors were also rescued and sent to the hospital. The military engineering team, MS, had also begun to dismantle some of the buildings that could no longer be used.
The combat MS troops patrolled in shifts 24 hours a day. However, even if the participants were locked up in the E-carbon cells, there were still ten fully armed MS aircraft guarding outside.
When Xiao Ran walked down from the plane, he saw the scene in the base in full swing. The old man Raphael, Billy, and a group of technicians went directly to the plank houses to start work. Xiao Ran walked into the cell with Graham.
This special cell was very simple. It was completely a combination of small rooms. There were no tables, chairs, or even beds in the room. There was only a soft mat, pillows, and blankets.
When Xiao Ran walked into the monitoring room with Graham, several soldiers and a low-ranking officer in the monitoring room stood up in a panic and saluted Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to put down their hands. He asked, "Is there any situation?"
The person with the highest military rank in the monitoring room was a second lieutenant. He stood up straight, puffed out his chest, and raised his head as he replied loudly, "Reporting to the general, when these people were locked up just now, they tried to escape. However, after our MS shot them directly, they became obedient. Each of them entered the cell by themselves."
Xiao Ran glanced at Graham. Graham also shook his head, indicating that he did not know. Xiao Ran sighed slightly and thought to himself, "Sure enough, I should have a professional adjutant."
Originally, he wanted Graham to be an adjutant. But looking at Graham's current appearance, Xiao Ran knew that he wasn't suited to be an adjutant. At this moment, Xiao Ran missed Moses and Billy back in World F of the Transdimensional Fortress. The two of them had handled everything for Xiao Ran in an orderly manner. Xiao Ran could handle everything by himself, and he could also clearly distinguish what needed to be asked for instructions.
Especially Moses, Xiao Ran felt that he had really made a mistake. Why didn't he bring Moses with him at that time? At least now he had a qualified adjutant who could help him do a lot of things.
Although Graham was not very good at being an adjutant. But he still had a good eye, so he asked the second lieutenant, "Be more specific."
The second lieutenant said loudly, "General, sir, at that time, the cells were transported by air. We sent these people to the cells to be detained, but we also left a safe distance as ordered. But we did not expect that when these people were moved, someone would try to escape. In the blink of an eye, he ran far away, and was finally shot dead by our MS. "
Xiao Ran nodded and was a little curious, "Who died?"
"The pilot of the white Airframe whose limbs were broken."
His limbs were broken. And it was a white Airframe. Xiao Ran only had one impression.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and immediately understood. Then he shook his head and thought to himself, "So it was the pilot of the Land Combat Gundam. How stupid."
Even with the physical fitness of the participant, it was absolutely impossible to withstand the attack of the MS 'main weapon. A shell was enough to turn the participant into a pool of blood. Xiao Ran was already prepared for these people to have ulterior motives. That was why he had arranged for the MS to cooperate with the army to guard the area. He had also given the order to attack immediately if there was any unusual movement. The MS pilots had firmly remembered this order, which was why they had opened fire immediately.
Xiao Ran glanced at the several screens in the monitoring room. At this time, there were nine participants who were lying, sitting, or walking back and forth, knocking on the wall. Although he did not know these people, Xiao Ran knew that four of them were the participants who piloted the World Gundam Gundam World W, a MK-II pilot, the Storm Dagger pilot who could cut the Angel Gundam into a stick, and three of the pilots who were the three Airframes that Xiao Ran piloted and destroyed at the first moment of the attack. There were a total of nine people.
After carefully looking at the participants who appeared on the screen, Xiao Ran turned his head and asked, "Which one of them is the one who surrendered?"
The second lieutenant replied, "Cell No. 3."
Xiao Ran glanced at the third surveillance screen. The surveillance screen showed the side profile of a figure wearing a pink pilot's uniform. She had shoulder-length short hair and a curvaceous figure. At this time, she was sitting on the ground, hugging her legs and burying her head in her lap.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and was a little surprised. "A woman?"
The second lieutenant nodded. "Yes, General."
"The only one who surrendered?" Xiao Ran pondered and said, "Graham, come with me to meet this woman."
Graham nodded. "Yes, General."
Xiao Ran's eyes under the mask glanced at the second lieutenant in the monitoring room, then gently moved two fingers. "Wait for me to open the door when I reach it."
The second lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "General, isn't this too dangerous?"
"It's fine." Xiao Ran waved his hand and directly walked out of the monitoring room. Seeing Xiao Ran leave, the second lieutenant didn't say anything else. He directly saluted to Xiao Ran's back. After Graham left the room, he put down his hand.
When the second lieutenant saw Xiao Ran walking to the door of cell No. 3 from the surveillance camera in the corridor, he gritted his teeth, walked to the control panel, and directly opened the door of cell No. 3. Under the astonishment of the other soldiers in the surveillance room, he directly tore off all the wires that were responsible for monitoring cell No. 3. After that, he let out a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.
After a few breaths, the second lieutenant looked sternly at the soldiers in the monitoring room. "What happened just now is not allowed to be leaked."
"What happened just now?"
"I'm so sleepy, I'll just go back to sleep."
"Ouch, my eyes hurt, I can't see, I can't see!"
"…" The second lieutenant looked at the performance of his subordinates and was a little speechless, but he was quite satisfied in his heart. He saw Xiao Ran's action just now, which was why he did such a thing.
As for saying that Xiao Ran wanted to do something bad to the female pilot, the second lieutenant didn't think so from the bottom of his heart. Although the female pilot was indeed a rare beauty, the second lieutenant only thought that Sir General might want to say something to the female pilot and it was not convenient for them to hear.
When the door of cell No. 3 opened, the female pilot inside also stood up and slowly leaned against the wall behind her vigilantly. Her two eyes were fixed in the direction of the cell door until Xiao Ran with an inverted mask walked in with Graham.
Xiao Ran saw the female pilot leaning against the wall with a vigilant face. He glanced at the surveillance camera that was already dark and nodded slightly. He directly walked to the center of the cell and looked at the female pilot with a calm face. After looking at the other party from head to toe, Xiao Ran slowly opened his mouth. (To be continued.)
