Although Xiao Ran had officially taken over the five battleships, there was only one Magellan-class battleship as the flagship, and the other four Salamis-class cruisers. It could be said that each of the five battleships was only at the level of a miscellaneous soldier. Xiao Ran could easily destroy them with a Zagu II. They could not bring any sense of security to Xiao Ran at all.
Fortunately, at least the five battleships had been modified. Each of them could carry four MS-class fighters, which was also the maximum number of MS-class fighters. However, the five battleships were not designed for MS-class fighters, so they did not have any ejection slots at all. Instead, they used a grab-and-drop method. This method was not as convenient as the transport aircraft that could open the hatch.
Therefore, all the MS-class fighters were still loaded in the transport aircraft and not transferred to the battleships. In addition to the inconvenience of the delivery, there were also two reasons. First, Xiao Ran would soon land on Earth, and only the five transport aircraft could land on Earth. The five battleships were simply decorations for this battle in Odyssey.
Second, for the sake of confidentiality, the M1 heretic had not been handed over at all. Xiao Ran was also not prepared to really hand it over to the Earth Federation. If the MS-class fighters entered the battleships, the technicians of the Earth Federation might come into contact with them and leak the real information about the body.
Although Xiao Ran had taken over the B Squadron, in fact, everything about the B Squadron was still a blur to him. He did not even have a confidant among them, let alone complete control of the B Squadron. Time was indispensable if he wanted to fully control the B Squadron in his hands.
However, he was about to land on Earth, and Xiao Ran did not have much time to learn more about the B Squadron. He let the original person in charge continue to be in charge of the B Squadron while he took the five transport aircraft and landed directly on Earth in the night sky. However, with the identity of the person in charge of the Special Operations Team, Xiao Ran's goal was still another step forward.
As for the third main mission, Xiao Ran did not know how long the mission would take. The mission began with the battle in Odyssey, but the end of the battle in Odyssey did not mean that the mission would be completed.
Main Mission 3. Faction cooperation mission: Eliminate the factors that lead to war, prepare for the rise of the resistance, and eliminate the forces of the Earth Federation or Gu Wenjun. Current progress: 0/100%. Personal contribution: 0.
Players with more than 5,000 contribution points or more than 60% completion of the mission could complete the mission and return to Prometheus.
It was a group mission. If everyone in the faction defeated the enemy, the completion rate of the mission would increase. This was the key reason why Xiao Ran wasn't sure about the duration of the mission. According to Prometheus's character, he was not sure about the duration of the mission. The 5,000 contribution points should refer to the amount of war merit points obtained. If a D-class mech was worth 300 war merit points to a C-class mech, it meant that at least 20 MS-class mechs would have to be destroyed on the battlefield to complete the mission.
However, if everyone carried out the mission with the same idea and returned to Prometheus, Xiao Ran could guarantee that even if all the new participants seriously fought and earned 5,000 contribution points, the total completion rate of the mission would definitely be just over 60%. In order to ensure the safety of the new participants and let them all return, Xiao Ran alone or the five-man team with Jegus, Nalor, El Erf, and Ryukino would have to bear the remaining 40% completion rate.
After all, there was a 100% scale that was definitely not meaningless. If individual contribution points determined whether to return or not, then what was the purpose of the group completion rate? Was it simply to make it more convenient for the veteran to guide the newcomers? This was obviously impossible. In order to stabilize the following plan and to create more advantageous conditions for Xiaya, Xiao Ran had to pile up the completion rate to 100% before he dared to return to Prometheus.
In addition, Captain Vry and the other bridge crew members, including Bassac and Nalor's ten clansmen, even if their contribution points were zero and they couldn't return to Prometheus, Xiao Ran had to think of a way to pile up the completion rate of the mission. It could be said that the proportion of the mission that Xiao Ran and the others had to bear was not just the remaining 40% after 60%. Instead, it was a part of something much bigger.
According to the arrangement of the Earth Federation, four of the five transport planes directly landed at the predetermined location, while the remaining one landed at another place that was also within the Earth Federation's sphere of influence. The transport plane that landed alone also reunited with the other four transport planes about ten hours later. However, there were two more people who had always been active on Earth in the transport plane, Ryukino and El Erf.
The five transport aircrafts were a new type of transport aircrafts that had yet to be displayed. They were very conspicuous in this garrison of the Earth Corps. They were even more conspicuous than the MS Jim aircrafts that were making their final preparations and were about to enter the battle. This was because the five transport aircrafts were really big. They were like five giants in this garrison. Especially when the five giants were lined up in a row, there was no need to mention the visual impact. Of course, the transport planes were still much smaller than the warships.
Especially after the arrival of the five transport planes, there was basically no one coming down from them during the whole process. Even if there were, they would only move between the two transport planes. The commanding officer of the garrison personally went to the transport planes to issue the battle plan. The five transport planes and the people inside were completely cut off from the outside world. Their bodies were so big and conspicuous, yet they exuded a mysterious aura. This contradictory feeling also attracted the attention of many people.
However, they couldn't ask what they shouldn't ask in the army, so although many people privately discussed what was going on with the five transport planes, no one dared to approach them.
At this time, Xiao Ran was listening to El Erf and Ryukino's report on the operation during this period.
After Xiao Ran left Earth for the Moon, El Erf and Ryukino started their own operations with the support of Anaheim Corporation's Earth branch. Their first action was to contact the few rebel organizations on Earth that were sorted out by Anaheim Corporation.
Among these rebel organizations, there were supporters of Guyon in the Federation's sphere of influence, supporters of Guyon in the Earth Federation's sphere of influence, and anti-war organizations that opposed both sides at the same time. El Erf made contact with these organizations one by one. The skilled and bold El Erf would also distinguish whether these organizations were cooperative or not during the process of making contact with them.
In addition, he would also confirm the purpose of these organizations to determine whether the other party was really an anti-war organization. He would also eliminate the two terrorist organizations that used the banner of rebellion to commit atrocities that angered both gods and ghosts. However, because there was still too little time, although Ryukino and El Erf came into contact with several rebel organizations, there was only one that met El Erf's conditions for cooperation. Moreover, it was a small organization that couldn't be smaller. It mainly focused on the rescue and help of refugees, so the harvest was not too much. As for the search for partners within the Federation, they would only investigate while passing through various places, but it gave El Erf a feeling of decadence.
After listening to the reports of El Erf and Ryukino, Xiao Ran also nodded to show that he understood. "In other words, after your investigation, it can be determined that these organizations do not have their own real military forces. They will not pose any threat to our future operations, nor will they be of any practical help. Since this is the case, let's put this matter aside for the time being. You should also know about the mission. Tomorrow morning, the attack on Gu Wenjun will begin. This time, our goal is to eliminate Gu Wenjun's strength as much as possible, weaken Gu Wenjun's strength, and provide opportunities for Xiaya's operation."
"However … if you don't have to directly kill Gu Wenjun's soldiers, it's better not to kill them." Xiao Ran stroked his chin and muttered to himself: "If these survivors are captured by Earth's army, then leave them to Xiaya to deal with. However, you must remember to pay attention to protect yourself during the mission. The mecha we are driving now are not those mecha we didn't bring. Even if it feels like their level is about the same, in reality, there is still a huge difference."
Ryukino looked a little travel-worn, but the smile on his face was exactly the same as before. "Got it."
El Erf also nodded lightly. "Understood."
Glancing at the two tired people, Xiao Ran also said to them, "After taking a look at your mecha, have a good rest and prepare for the battle that will begin in the early morning."
After the two left, Xiao Ran picked up the battle plan brought by the officer at the station. Except for their team, the battle plans of the other troops had already been formulated long ago, and the battle plan of Xiao Ran and others was more like a performance plan for a show, but even so, there was not much safety to speak of.
The battle plan was actually very simple. Wherever the enemy was in a stalemate for a long time, it was time for them to appear. The core of this plan was that Xiao Ran's special unit would take the lead to break through the enemy's defensive line and bring victory. If they could take the lead to break through Gu Wenjun's defensive line once or twice, then Xiao Ran's M1 heretic Ms Unit would also become famous within the Earth Federation. The soldiers of the Federation Army who received their help would also inevitably be grateful to them, envious, and even want to join this unit. This would also allow Xiao Ran to accumulate his own reputation in the Earth Federation.
