During the battle between Aube and the Earth Corps, the scope of the battle had been strictly limited to the sea. In the second battle, after the evacuation of the civilians, they took the initiative to give up the defense of the main island. They disbanded the army and focused the remaining forces on the main island. Therefore, the main island where the city was located was not affected much. There were almost no casualties among the civilians, and the loss of property was ridiculously small. Therefore, the reconstruction work progressed very quickly.
However, on Aube's main island, other than the Dawnlight Society setting up shelves on the original site, the destruction caused by the huge explosion had turned the entire island into ruins. However, the clean-up work also gave Xiao Ran quite a headache. Moreover, the reconstruction work of the entire main island included too many aspects. It was even more difficult than building a new main island on a completely new deserted island.
Fortunately, there was still something like MS in this world. With a single order, all the MS that did not participate in the defense mission threw away their weapons and shields and joined the reconstruction work of the main island. There were too many of them to do, but they were definitely good at clean-up. When dealing with the rubble and ruins, they even used beam sabers to cut them up. The speed was also quite fast. Moreover, there were at least hundreds of engineering MS as the main force. Everything was slowly getting on track.
Before abandoning Aube and heading to the universe, Xiao Ran had ordered all the weapons, including tanks, intact missile defense devices, and so on, to be sunk into the sea. Now, they were also speeding up the salvage work. Although the tanks would have problems if they were submerged in water, it was still easier to repair them than to completely rebuild them. It also saved a lot of resources for the country that had suffered a lot.
During the two months, the first half of the month was basically done by Xiao Ran himself. Kajali was watching. After everything passed through Xiao Ran's hands, there was no need to think too much about it. Xiao Ran did not even consider the disputes of interests involved. Among the five major families of Aube, the Asharas were completely on the same side as Xiao Ran. The Lund family did not care about Aube's matters. But at the same time, he was also carrying out activities under the shadows for Aube.
The other three families did not dare to look for Xiao Ran at all. Currently, Xiao Ran had a huge influence, whether among the people or in the military. Even in Aube's Dawn Society, which was the foundation of the nation. After the reorganization of the military, more than 70% of them had become Xiao Ran's loyal followers. They only listened to Xiao Ran's orders. Now, Xiao Ran had become Aube's God of War, the leader of the military.
Especially the words Xiao Ran said during the battle between ZAFT and the Earth Army. It spread throughout the military and even among the people. It was praised by everyone.
Xiao Ran's power was so great that it made the other three families, except for the Lund family and the Asharas family, fearful. But in the face of Xiao Ran's power, there was nothing they could do. Xiao Ran's power was not only famous among Aube, but also among the Earth Army and PLANT. PLANT and the Earth Army swallowed their pride and came to befriend Xiao Ran. They did not mention the two Gundams or the Archangel at all. Even if the new generation of these three families had resentment, they did not dare to provoke Xiao Ran.
Now, Xiao Ran had more than 70% of Aube's military power. Among them, the Earth Navy, the Army, and the MS Army were all in Xiao Ran's hands. There was another fleet in the universe, but other than the Archangel, which was not suitable to provoke PLANT and the Earth Army, there were no other warships.
However, the next few warships manufactured by the Dawn Society would all be handed over to this fleet. Correspondingly, there would be a sufficient number of MS Army units until the fleet was completely set up. Xiao Ran officially handed over this fleet to Bakirulu, and Xiao Ran was officially promoted to the supreme commander of Aube's three armies. He firmly controlled the military power in his own hands.
What made Kajali feel strange was that the big families did not look for Xiao Ran because of this, nor did they arrange for their own people to be in important positions. It was completely unlike when her father was the representative. This was because the people of the big families would be involved for a long, long time, and then they would give in for the sake of Aube's stability.
Although Xiao Ran was strong, he could also stabilize Aube. Compared to the previous Aube, it was more stable, from top to bottom, from the civilian to the military. It seemed that because of Xiao Ran's strength, they had become more united, making Aube show a scene of prosperity. It walked out of the shadow of war at an incredible speed and started a normal life.
Although Kajali had lived in such an environment since she was young and had been exposed to a lot of things, she was still too young compared to Xiao Ran. She was also too cautious when doing things. Perhaps it was because the original Aube was too complicated, even the representative of Ashar was restrained when doing things. It was completely unlike now, where he was reborn from the ashes and cleaned up all the dirty things, it was much easier for him to do things.
Among the three clans, two of them saw that Aubrey could recover and get back on the right track in such a short period of time. Furthermore, he could make a greater voice in this world. Knowing that they were bound together for glory and disgrace, they approved of Xiao Ran's method and gradually started to cooperate with Xiao Ran.
However, the father and son of the Seilan family were full of resentment towards Xiao Ran. They pretended to obey Xiao Ran, but in fact, they disobeyed Xiao Ran's arrangements. After learning about it, Xiao Ran just smiled indifferently, but he also sent a lot of intelligence personnel to start monitoring the strange father and son.
In the next month, Kajali became the one doing the work, while Xiao Ran assisted most of the time. Kajali learned Xiao Ran's management style and gradually took over all of Xiao Ran's work, shouldering the pressure of the entire country of Aube. Xiao Ran's gradual retreat behind the scenes also made a group of senior soldiers in the Aube military relieved, but in return, their respect for Xiao Ran became deeper.
Whenever Kajali encountered something that she couldn't make a decision on, Xiao Ran would always remind her sternly, "You are the leader of this country. If you can't make a decision, the people below will be confused because of you. The most important thing a soldier should not be confused, and the people living in this country shouldn't be confused either. You have to give them confidence. No matter how unreasonable or difficult the matter is, you have to be full of confidence to give more people confidence."
"Kajali, as the leader of a country, you have to show a strong side. Who are you trying to show your weak side to?"
"Kajali, you can be gentle to the people inside and outside, but under this gentleness, you have to let everyone know your bottom line. As long as the bottom line is crossed, you have to be strong."
"Kajali, no one else is in charge of this country, but you. When those families come to make trouble with you, are you going to sacrifice the country's interests to fulfill their interests? You can give in to what you should, but you can't give in to what you shouldn't. The weaker you are, the less you have a say in this country. "
"Kajali, remember, the army is the foundation of everything. For Aube, it's the same for the Dawn Society. The army and the Dawn Society must be firmly in your hands. The people will only support those who are sincerely thinking for them."
"Kajali …"
"Kajali …"
"Ah! Bastard! I can't take it anymore. If you want to be yourself, do it well! Anyway, as long as you're here, it's fine! "
Finally, when Xiao Ran was less than half a month away from leaving this world, Kajali couldn't help but scream. She threw away the pen in her hand and rushed out of the office. Xiao Ran, who was sitting on the other side calmly drinking tea and lecturing Kajali, waved his hand lightly. Several bodyguards in black hurriedly chased after Kajali.
Mary stood beside Xiao Ran. Seeing Kajali rush out, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Aren't you being too strict with her?"
"We don't have much time. I also want to take it slow, but there's not enough time, so I can only use this method." Xiao Ran sighed softly, put the teacup on the coffee table, and said, "Let Kira, Lax, and Aslan accompany her. Let her relax today, but tomorrow morning, she must come back on time and start work. What a childish girl. I hope she can understand my painstaking efforts."
"I will." Mary put her hand on Xiao Ran's shoulder and smiled at Xiao Ran. "I'll go inform the three people. Is there anything else you need to arrange?"
"Inform all the officers and generals above the middle-level to gather in Aube three days later. Also, prepare a national TV speech."
"I understand." Mary nodded and walked out of the office. Xiao Ran also stood up after stretching and sat in front of Kajali's desk to finish the unfinished work for Kajali.
Kajali rushed out of the government building. As soon as she turned around, she shouted at the bodyguards behind her, "I order you to stop following me!"
The bodyguards behind her looked at each other, but at the same time, they shook their heads and didn't say anything. The leader was a woman about 27 or 28 years old. She smiled gently at Kajali. "That won't do, Miss Kajali. In order to ensure your safety, Lord Xiao Ran asked us to have two people by your side at all times."
"But to Lord Xiao Ran, you're just a child." The woman shook her head at Kajali. Her expression gradually turned serious. "Miss Kajali, I hope you can understand Lord Xiao Ran's painstaking efforts. He's doing all this for you. Lord Xiao Ran had already made an appointment with Master Selan in the afternoon, hoping to discuss the cancellation of the marriage between Miss Kajali and Yuna. Now that you've suddenly appeared, you've disrupted Mr. Xiao Ran's arrangements. There's so much work piled on the table, who knows when it'll be done."
