The Federation did not consider for too long before agreeing to the alliance with Axis. After all, they had no choice but to agree. In fact, even the Federation itself was not sure that the new technology they developed would pose any threat to the Unified Army. It should be known that the Federation's current military strength was far less than the Unified Army's. They did not have a space fleet or high-end forces. Although they were holed up in Asia, in the desert, they were absolutely powerless to launch a counterattack against the Unified Army.
But Axis had what they needed most: technology, a fleet, and even the giant god that they were not sure if was real or not. But Karma's personal appearance here, the arrival of the last man in the Zabi family, also proved the authenticity of the giant god to a high degree. For Axis to take the initiative to send such a person of high status as a hostage, it also showed Axis' sincerity.
In the face of Xiao Ran, Xiaya, and Rabir, these common enemies in the Unified Army, facing the huge pressure of the Unified Army, even if Axis and the Federation had some small tricks in the dark, they would definitely stand together in good faith for the same goal to resist this powerful enemy together.
After the Federation and Karma signed the covenant, the Federation began to prepare the resources and technical personnel they needed for Axis. Of course, in terms of personnel dispatch, they also needed a person of sufficient status to go to Axis personally, just like Karma, to maintain the fragile relationship between the two sides.
In terms of personnel arrangement, a huge team was formed in a few days, including technical personnel, guards, and some unrelated people. The total number of personnel was more than a thousand, and the first batch of resources and equipment was even more incredible. It basically used all the transport ships in the Federation's hands. These scarce resources for Axis were enough for Axis to completely repair the giant god and produce a large number of MS. As for the general resources, Axis was completely self-sufficient after these things arrived.
But the things and personnel were already prepared. But it was difficult to transport them out of Earth and into the universe that had been sealed by the Unified Army. Even the spies exposed in the Unified Army could not let such a large transport fleet quietly leave under the nose of the Unified Army. But the Federation was really forced into a dead end, and they could do anything.
They began to wantonly recruit non-military volunteers within their sphere of influence. This was especially so for the young women and those with special skills. All of them joined the transport fleet as civilians. There were also some people with special identities. The Federation could tell from the Unified Army's actions that the Unified Army was extremely cautious of civilians. In the previous battles, the Unified Army had fought many battles with the Federation in order to rescue civilians. They had also made a lot of sacrifices.
They were quite sure that as long as a large number of civilians left with the transport fleet and broadcasted this matter to the world, the unified army could only watch as the transport fleet disappeared before their eyes. In any case, the Federation's reputation was already bad enough. For the sake of this final opportunity, they didn't mind being even worse.
So almost half a month later, when countless transport ships took off from the Federation's sphere of influence and entered the universe, and the Federation also began to broadcast to the world at the same time, Xiao Ran just stood in the headquarters of the Unified Earth Front Army with an indifferent face and watched the Federation's press conference without any reaction.
At the press conference, Karma and his entourage, as well as a series of senior officials of the Federation, were sitting together in a row. The news that Guyon had joined the Federation was announced to the world. Karma also called on the soldiers belonging to Guyon at the press conference to oppose the return of the traitor to the Zabi family.
The Federation also recognized Karma as the successor of Prince Guyon at the press conference, declared the Unified Army as a traitor, and so on. In particular, they directly said that they had sent a large-scale transport fleet to rescue Axis. Among the accompanying personnel, there were volunteers of different professions, such as medical personnel, workers, artists, and so on. They were going to the distant Axis together.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the situation now?"
Among the people standing behind him, Ma Liu shook her head and felt helpless. A smile appeared at the corner of Cruzet's mouth, an extremely cruel smile. Rebil took a puff of his big cigar and spat out a thick smoke, but he did not react. The others also had different expressions. Maxi answered Xiao Ran's question with a serious and gloomy face.
"The announcement sent by the Federation said that there are about 300 transport ships. Except for a brigade of MS, there are no other defensive forces. However, the number of civilians in the transport ship fleet is about 10,000, and they are placed in different transport ships. Some of them are directly related to our current middle and senior officers and government personnel. The list is already in our hands. It has also been confirmed. "
"According to the information sent back by our intelligence personnel, the authenticity of this announcement can be confirmed. The other party pointed out that if we let this transport fleet leave, they can return some of the civilians and people related to us. Otherwise, once we start intercepting the transport ship, something bad will happen."
"Hehehe, it's really interesting. I didn't expect them to come together." Cruzet looked at Xiao Ran's back and said with a faint smile, "Intercepting this transport ship is framing them. If we let it go, it will become troublesome. More importantly, except for those people who are directly related to us, those civilians who have a high degree of recognition for the Federation won't be grateful to us even if you save them, but destroying them will affect our overall plan. So, what are you going to do now?"
Xiao Ran turned around and no longer looked at the Federation and Guyon's press conference on the screen. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "No matter what, we can't disappoint the people who support us. Tell the Federation that we can let them go, but they must return all the people who are directly related to us. Otherwise, even if we immediately start a war of total annihilation, I will completely destroy their base in the desert."
Maxi stood up straight and replied loudly, "Yes."
"Immediately contact Xiaya. I want to know the most detailed situation of Axis, and also have him receive the Federation's returned personnel. Rabir, speed up. I want to see results within a week. Within two weeks, we will start a war against the Federation. Within a month, we will completely annihilate all the Federation's forces. "
Rabir nodded and left without saying a word. The Federation's actions also made Rabir feel bitterly disappointed. The current Federation probably didn't even have the most basic humanity. Using civilians as hostages to threaten them was unacceptable. If such a Federation continued to exist in this world, it would only cause more innocent people to be harmed. Even if Xiao Ran didn't say anything, Rabir was determined to completely erase the Federation from this world as soon as possible.
Maxi also left with Rabir. He had to contact the Federation as soon as possible and inform them of his conditions. In this rather large room, only Xiao Ran, Cruzet, Mary, Captain Vry, and a few others were left.
Cruzet found a place to sit down and said, "It seems that they have already found out our weakness. For the sake of the public's approval, we can't do anything to those people. Otherwise, as long as 5% of the people oppose us because of this matter, everything we have done will be in vain."
"That's right." Xiao Ran also sighed and sat down on his seat. He waved his hand and gestured for the others to find a place to sit. He then said, "Destroying the Federation is the first step. Restoring the Federation to its original state is the second step. With the original constitution in hand, as long as we act according to the original constitution and don't violate any of the rules, we will occupy the advantageous position of the inheritors and won't violate the sixth rule of the exclusive faction rules."
"History of not harming the faction in any way and making a great contribution to the faction. We didn't harm the faction and instead followed the original constitution's rules to bring the faction back on the right track. This is a kind of setting things right, so it should be considered a kind of contribution."
"Among the six restrictions, the first, fourth, and fifth can be easily satisfied. However, the second and third requirements of not using force, conspiracy, assassination, coercion, and other means to obtain the highest authority in the faction can be satisfied as long as the other people sincerely agree. As long as the Federation's normal structure is restored after the war and all rights are temporarily given up to conduct fair elections, it won't be difficult to satisfy this condition."
"But the third condition is the most troublesome when the faction's support is more than 85% and the opposition is less than 5%. This condition will only tie our hands and feet, especially in such a situation where we can only watch the transport fleet leave and not take any action."
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Jay, Vry, Cruzet, after Xiaya explains the situation with Axis and obtains the contact information of the people he planted in Axis, you two immediately lead a team to Mars to find Axis. The Federation actually put in so much effort to agree to an alliance with Axis. Maybe Axis still hiding some trump cards that can turn the situation around. I want you to investigate thoroughly and bring more people to directly eliminate Axis."
"Understood."
"Yes."
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and sat on the chair quietly thinking. After a long time, Xiao Ran suddenly said thoughtfully, "I suspect that the world intruder may have fallen into the hands of Axis …"
