The transport aircraft directly entered through a specially arranged secret passageway of the Anaheim company, so Xiao Ran's return to Anaheim was only known by a very small number of people. Xiao Ran actually didn't mind the news of his return being leaked out, but at the same time, he also didn't want to expose his mecha's presence in such an uncertain situation.
Katyas personally went to the secret passageway to greet Xiao Ran, leaving behind Brera and Lucca to guard the mecha. Cruzet, Gramsci, and Xiao Ran followed Katyas and left, quietly returning to Katyas' mansion located above the secret passageway.
Katyas appeared extremely happy and relieved when he saw Xiao Ran's return. In the short period of less than half a year since Xiao Ran's departure, he had already endured too much pressure. The heavy pressure from all aspects almost made him unable to breathe. Even in the Anaheim company, which seemed to have become extremely huge, many contradictions and problems had arisen. Many of these problems were left behind by him and Xiao Ran together, to the extent that he alone couldn't bear it.
After Katyas had arranged for external defenses, he returned to the secret chamber where Xiao Ran and the other two were placed. He sat down in front of Xiao Ran as if he had collapsed. He repeatedly sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after you left for less than half a year, Xiaya and I would encounter so many problems one after another. Oh right, who is this mister?"
Katyas knew Gramsci among the three, but Katyas had never seen Cruzet who had appeared for the first time. Xiao Ran glanced at the smiling Cruzet beside him and introduced them to each other, "This is Lao Lu Cruzet, my team member. You can call him Cruzet. Cruzet, this is Mr. Katyas, my collaborator here."
Katyas stood up and nodded to Cruzet with a smile. He extended his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Cruzet."
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Katyas. " Cruzet also extended his hand with a smile and shook hands with Katyas. After both sides sat down again, Xiao Ran opened his mouth and asked, "Katyas, what happened during this period of time?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words," Katyas shook his head. He said, "During the time you were away, the situation in this world did not calm down because of Guyon's surrender. On the surface, it looks like the war has calmed down and there are no more conflicts. But in fact, the conflicts on the surface are hidden under the surface of the water. It has become darker and more unscrupulous."
Xiao Ran slightly raised his eyebrows. Cruzet revealed a very interesting look. When it comes to playing with people's hearts and means, how many people in this world could compare to Cruzet who had almost destroyed a world?
"I'll slowly explain." Katyas shook his head. Even if Xiao Ran did not ask, he would have also told Xiao Ran about what happened during this period of time. Because some things changed too quickly and were too unexpected, Katyas's preparation was insufficient. So, during this period of time, he was put into a difficult situation by the heavy pressure.
"According to the plan before you left, Xiaya's side lowered their attitude and negotiated a ceasefire agreement with the Federation. But in order to avoid the Federation's suspicions, they stuck to the bottom line. Both sides parted on bad terms many times during the negotiation process. But fortunately, we wasted more than two months. It can be considered as a perfect completion of our plan to stall for time and reduce the Federation's attention on the new Guyon. "
"But it was precisely because of Xiaya's retreat that although the new Guyon's insiders approved of the ceasefire, there were also many voices opposing Xiaya's cowardice. But what was even more unexpected was that General Rabir was actually removed from the position of Earth's army commander and left idle. And that private agreement that could not see the light of day was also leaked by some people in the Federation. The exposure of this agreement caused the new Guyon to be full of contradictions and surging undercurrents. The key point is that Xiaya still has no way to explain it. Just suppressing those restless people has already made Xiaya unable to do anything else. Because he has also suffered several assassination attempts. "
Xiao Ran froze for a moment and said in astonishment, "What? That agreement was actually leaked? What is the Federation thinking? How could they do such a thing? Are those people stupid? Why would they do such a thing when the situation has finally stabilized? If something happens to Xiaya, wouldn't the new Guyon bring back the two people from Axis? Wouldn't the war that had finally stopped break out again?! "
The so-called agreement that cannot see the light of day was, of course, Xiaya agreeing to a series of unreasonable demands of the federation on the surface in order to avoid war. These demands were definitely painful for Shinzeon, but it would take three years to gradually change the things in the agreement. The real situation was just a blank piece of paper that existed to buy time for Xiao Ran and the others. Xiaya didn't really intend to follow the agreement, but the key was that Xiaya couldn't explain the contents of the agreement to others. At most, he could only tell his trusted aides. It was precisely because Xiaya's trusted aides knew the real plan that Xiaya wouldn't be overthrown in the new Guyon.
Katyas said with a wry smile, "Perhaps the Federation didn't intend to get along peacefully with the new Guyon and didn't allow any autonomy at all. Instead, they were preparing to completely control the Guyon. They couldn't wait for the new Guyon to fall into a riot so that they could clean up the mess. I suspect that General Rabier's apparent promotion and secret demotion was caused by the twists and turns in his opposition to the Federation. Now, General Rabier is under house arrest and there is no way to contact him."
"Oh." Xiao Ran sneered and said, "But this is also the Federation's usual practice. So, are our allies just watching?"
"Of course not." Katyas sneered disdainfully and said, "Except for the two from the Civilian Faction and the Moderate Faction who stood on General Rabier's side, the others all agreed to completely turn Guyon into a colony of the Federation. Not only that, but they also proposed to control the entire Earth Army."
"After coming down, they said that it was for everyone's sake. In the future, the expansion of the universe must have a stable rear that only listens to one voice. So, they can't tolerate the existence of other forces that don't agree with them on the surface, even if it's for autonomy."
Cruzet suddenly smiled faintly and said, "I learned a sentence somewhere. If you want to destroy someone, you have to first make them go crazy. Now, these people have already started to go crazy, and our arrival just so happens to be a memorial to their demise. "
"Actually, it's also because of us that they have the confidence to do so." Katyas nodded in agreement with Cruzet's words, but he also said to Xiao Ran, "Because of the appearance of the M1 heresy and the heresy fleet, as well as the appearance of the heresy fleet that they pushed to end the war in such a way, everyone has received great credit. In the redistribution of recovered areas on Earth, these people have received great benefits, and they have also received greater speaking rights in the Federation."
"No matter how much I delayed the production of the heresy fleet, they were still delivered to the Federation. Most of these delivered airframes were in the hands of these people, and after acquiring Guyon's military enterprises, they were forced to expand production again and have already delivered the second batch of airframes. Because of your sudden disappearance, these people saw a suitable opportunity. After disbanding the heresy fleet, all the pilots were divided into the forces in their hands."
"In the meeting of these interests partners of the Anaheim Corporation, they proposed to divide your shares because of your disappearance. They also removed all your positions in the Federation and sent many people to secretly insert themselves into the company. At present, although I am still the highest leader of the Anaheim Corporation, in fact, my orders can't even be passed out of Brown City. Even if it is passed out, it won't have the desired effect. The appearance of the space jump engine is no longer a secret among the higher-ups of the Federation. In order to rope in allies, they have more or less leaked the information about the space jump engine."
"For the sake of huge benefits, the Federation has now completely gone crazy. If it weren't for the fact that this technology is currently only in my hands, I'm afraid my end wouldn't be any better than Xiaya's."
Xiao Ran didn't expect that things would develop to such a serious point, and all of this was only because of one word, benefits. If they had come back a little later, the situation of the entire earth would have undergone a huge change again.
"In other words, after I disappeared, they felt that there was no threat, and the forces in their hands were enough to support them to make these messy decisions?" Xiao Ran's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and he coldly said, "Since I'm back, then no matter what these people are planning, I will let them know how serious the consequences of doing so are."
"Yes, fortunately, you came back." Katyas nodded and said, "But in addition to this, I believe that the heretic MS technology has definitely been leaked. After handing it over to the Federation, they will definitely crack the M1 heretic. But what I really suspect is that the higher series of heretic Gundam technology, including the PS Armor, have also been leaked."
"But you can rest assured that the GN Dragon Cavalry and Solar Furnace, as well as the GN-X technology, have not been leaked out for the time being because I was already prepared." Speaking of this, Katyas sneered and said, "The Federation has done so much, and it's not like I didn't make any moves on my side. I used your influence among the Federation's low-level soldiers to spread the word that the Federation was dissatisfied with your disobedience of orders and took the initiative to start a war with the new Guyon again, and I was imprisoned."
"Coincidentally, the disbanding of the heretic fleet and General Rabir's apparent promotion gave this rumor a considerable possibility. At least for now, the attitude of the Federation's low-level soldiers is quite dissatisfied." Katyas looked at Xiao Ran and said with a big smile, "Now that you have safely returned, if we can find out where General Rabir is and persuade him to join us, then our plan can officially begin."
