The knocking on the door interrupted what President Glass wanted to say. It was only after the butler entered the study, placed down two cups of tea, and left again that President Glass glanced at the tightly shut door and said to Xiao Ran, "That's right. It's the ship group led by the hero of the first war, Max Stirling."
Xiao Ran was a little puzzled. "Could it be that they have the ability to fight against Earth alone?"
President Glass did not answer. Instead, he asked, "You should know about the matter of the ship group repelling the primitive demons, right?"
Xiao Ran nodded. "I know a little about it."
"Well, you should also know about it from the internal information, right?" President Glass muttered to himself and said, "Maybe it's because I've lived long enough that I know some things that aren't in the records of the Earth United Army and that don't match the information.
"In the war between the Seventh Ship Group and the primitive demons, humans won in the end, and it led to the appearance of vocal equipment. These things aren't wrong. But the actual situation is also very different from what is recorded. The process in the middle is not what is recorded in the records. The great humans once again defeated an unknown threat. Under the leadership of the Earth Unified Army, the Seventh Ship Regiment bravely and fearlessly won a glorious victory. "
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He knew a lot about the Seventh Ship Group. However, as it was too long ago when he watched this animation, Xiao Ran could not remember many things clearly. However, he still remembered the crazy singer called Ba God and the final victory.
President Glass continued, "The truth is that the primitive demons at that time were unable to fight back at all. In order to stall for time, the Earth United Army gave the order for the Seventh Ship Group to attack the planet where the primitive demons were. They abandoned the Seventh Ship Group and didn't even send a single soldier to the Seventh Ship Group to their deaths.
"The supreme commander of the Seventh Ship Group, Max Stirling, chose to follow the orders of the Earth United Army. In that battle, the Seventh Ship Group suffered a huge loss. However, to everyone's surprise, the man called Basara appeared out of nowhere. In the end, the primitive demons, who were so powerful that they could completely engulf the Milky Way, took the initiative to stop the battle.
"And after that battle, the Seventh Ship Group also completely cut off all ties with the Milky Way. "After that battle, the Seventh Ship Group Group completely cut off all contact with Earth.
"Speaking of which, the Seventh Fleet's encounter was very similar to ours. They encountered primitive demons, while we encountered the ancient gods. Both of us achieved peace through battle. They were abandoned during the battle, and we were regarded as a thorn in their side after the battle. Just like us, if we have insects behind us, then the Seventh Fleet has primitive demons behind them. "
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. He already understood what President Glass meant. "President, you think that the Seventh Fleet's experience is similar to ours, so they must have felt the same way. If we can contact the Seventh Fleet and get their support, we can also get help from the Primitive Demons behind the Seventh Fleet. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right." President Glass nodded and said, "It's also because of the existence of primitive demons behind the Seventh Ship Regiment that Earth turns a blind eye to the Seventh Ship Regiment, and it was the same for us. But because of the temporary departure of the Zergs, the Earth Army was determined to deal with us and obtain the power of the Zergs. "
"And I believe that the Earth Army will definitely not continue to wait because none of us can be sure when the Zergs will return and when the Zerg Queen will wake up. They will definitely not let us delay the time."
The two absolutes in President Glass's words showed that the current situation of the Seventh Fleet was not optimistic, and it also showed that the Earth Army was impatient. At the same time, it also reminded Xiao Ran when the mission could be considered a success. Only when the Zerg Queen woke up and the Zergs returned would the mission be considered completed.
Of course. Xiao Ran could also drop the MDE bomb and cause the end of the world on Earth as mentioned before, or kill all the higher-ups of the Earth United Army or the supreme commander. This would force the Earth Army to give up on the Zergs' power, but that might also make the situation more complicated.
Several ideas popped up in Xiao Ran's mind. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Mr. President, are you sure that you won't retreat?"
President Glass said in a deep voice, "Whether it's for the peace of the Milky Way or for ourselves, we have no chance to retreat."
Xiao Ran asked again, "President Glass, other than seeking support, do you have any other way to deal with it?"
"Now we can only think of various ways to delay it. Hold on until the reinforcements from the Border Fleet and the planets arrive, until we contact the Seventh Ship Regiment, or until the Zergs return. " President Glass exhaled and said, "This is the only thing we can do at the moment."
"I understand, then …" Xiao Ran nodded, stood up, and saluted President Glass, "Xiao Ran reporting to you."
Xiao Ran was very smart. He didn't directly tell Glass to hand over the army to him and let him be in charge of the army. Instead, he proposed in such a tactful way that he would join the 25th Ship Regiment again and let Glass arrange his position. Being too proactive might make Glass feel disgusted, but if he used such a tactful way, Xiao Ran believed that even if he couldn't be in charge like before, he would at least be able to get most of the rights in the army.
"Good, good, good." President Glass shouted three times and nodded with relief. "I'm very pleased that you are still willing to stay in the Ship Regiment at this time. Thank you, Xiao Ran, for everything you have done for this Ship Regiment. In that case, you …"
"Ring ring ring!"
The phone in the study suddenly rang, interrupting what President Grass wanted to say. President Grass immediately frowned and put down the phone. He waved his hand at Xiao Ran and signaled for him to wait for a while. Then, he walked over and picked up the phone. "I'm Grass … What … I got it. Get someone to take care of them … Yes, but remember, keep an eye on these people and don't let them contact anyone … Okay, I'll be right there."
When President Glass heard the voice on the phone, his face darkened. Obviously, he was suppressing his anger while talking to the person on the phone. In the end, he hung up the phone and slammed it on the table.
Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Glass took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He said to Xiao Ran, "The people sent by the Earth Army to take over the army are here. A small fleet with the MACROSS class as its flagship is currently confronting the Defense Command in space. The fleet commander of the other side wants to send a special agent to enter the Ship Regiment and meet with me personally."
Xiao Ran was a little surprised. "What? They sent someone here so quickly? And it's a MACROSS class battleship as their flagship? "
President Glass picked up a cigar from the table and lit it. After taking two deep puffs, he directly pressed the cigar into the ashtray and said to Xiao Ran, "Yes, this must be preparation for the war. Xiao Ran, from now on, you will be reinstated. Go change your clothes and come with me to meet these people."
"I got it." Xiao Ran nodded heavily. He thought for a while and said, "If possible, I need to bring another person with me."
Glass nodded and waved his hand at Xiao Ran. "Go ahead. I'll keep the place where you used to live. I'll get someone to inform you of the meeting location later. I still have to make some preparations."
Xiao Ran nodded and left. Sherry Dew took Moses to S.M.S., so Xiao Ran could only find someone in the presidential palace to send him to the place where he lived in this world before. On the way, he contacted Cruzet in the bridge of the Archangel through a special communicator.
As soon as Cruzet picked up the phone, he asked directly, "It seems that you have gotten into big trouble. Why, is there something you need me to do?"
Xiao Ran held the team communicator made by Prometheus. This communicator could contact anyone in the team without interference within a certain range. He said to Cruzet on the other side, "Yes, is Billy with you?"
"Are you talking about the man who took us to park the Archangel outside the giant ship?" Cruzet asked, then said, "If it's this person, then yes, he is with us, in the bridge of the Archangel."
"Tell him to bring you to where I'm staying right now." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, "Take Graham, Nalor, and Mary. Tell Law and Bassac to keep an eye on the Archangel. I will make other arrangements for them later."
"Okay, I got it." After Cruzet finished speaking, he hung up the communicator directly. Xiao Ran had just arrived at his destination. After asking the driver to wait downstairs, Xiao Ran went directly to the familiar corridor and entered the house where he lived for some time.
The interior of the house was exactly the same as in Xiao Ran's memories. He gently touched the places he passed by and found that it was clean without even a speck of dust. Xiao Ran couldn't help but nod slightly. He walked into his bedroom and found that it was also clean and tidy, making him feel quite comfortable.
Xiao Ran took out the Defense Command uniform from the wardrobe and put it on decisively. He didn't feel nostalgic or nostalgic. After changing his clothes, he stood in front of the mirror in the room and looked at himself in the mirror. He always felt that something was missing. After frowning, Xiao Ran smiled and a white mask appeared in his hand. He gently put it on his face.
"What's missing is this thing."
