It was not only Xiao Ran's team that was going to stay, but also the entire Borderlands. Especially Milai Yashu, who was going to spend a long time in this world to learn how to fight systematically. Since Milai Yashu was Monica's follower, Monica would definitely not be able to support Milai Yashu's enhancement. That was why Xiao Ran directly let Milai Yashu count all of Milai Yashu's consumption as the cost of his army. Since that was the case, he might as well let the two teams stay.
As for the consumption of war achievement points, once the new MACROSS class arrived and the two worlds stabilized, he would be able to earn back the war achievement points by selling some mechs and weapons.
It took half an hour for the fleet to arrive. During that time, Moses took the time to go back to Prometheus and call Law back. He took over the job of leading the technical team that was given to Billy and Moses to undergo a week of confidential training due to Law's absence.
In the entire fleet, apart from the fifteen warships that were full of soldiers, pilots, and carrier-based aircraft, there was another ship that was responsible for transporting personnel and four collection ships that were responsible for transporting equipment. A total of twenty ships formed a fleet that would soon pass through the portal and head to the Primitive Federation.
In terms of personnel allocation, apart from the technical team, soldiers, pilots, and management personnel selected by both the military and the government, Kathlyn, Ozma, Captain Jay Vry, and the entire Skeleton Squad would also go to the Primitive Federation. There were also a few core members of the fleet, such as former President Glass and the commander of the Defense Force, Brigadier General Perry.
Monica, Milai Yashu, and the others who were promoted to the bridge four would stay. Even if they were to go to the Primitive Federation, they would not be of much use.
After Xiao Ran sent the secretary back to arrange the things he ordered, he boarded the ship and met up with Ozma, Captain Jay Vry, Kathlyn, and former President Glass. After seeing Kathlyn's nervous expression and the former President Glass and Brigadier General Perry's itchy and impatient expressions, Xiao Ran could not help but laugh.
Xiao Ran's laughter also made former President Glass, Brigadier General Perry, and Catherine look embarrassed.
Former President Glass laughed and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder with a cigar in his hand. He said, "It's really hard to imagine that we'll have to go to another world before humans have truly explored the universe. After knowing this, I haven't slept well for several days. This is all your fault. "
Commodore Perry nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't expect the president to have such an amazing ability, nor did I expect there to be such a mysterious existence in this world. I'm afraid only a true god can do something like this. I'm looking forward to seeing another world soon."
"Haha." Xiao Ran waved his hand and chuckled. He said, "That world is more or less the same as this one. They have the same earth, moon, and universe, but the people in that world have not really stepped out of the earth yet. Besides, the current situation over there is not a paradise outside the city. They have just experienced a war, and the world's population has been reduced by half. There are many problems left behind by the war, and this is also the reason why I need to transfer people over to help. I hope you won't be disappointed when you see it."
"It's already exciting enough to be able to transmigrate to another world. How can we be disappointed? This is an honor that not everyone has the chance to experience. " Former President Glass chuckled and found a place to sit down as he spoke. "Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
This time, all of the people who were selected to go on this mission were the most trustworthy troops and personnel of the fleet. In the past week, they had been informed of the situation and were shocked. Although many of them didn't show it, they were as excited as President Glass when he heard that they were about to head to another world to carry out a mission. Although many of them didn't show it, they were as excited as President Glass.
Xiao Ran did not intend to hide the matter about the other world from the members of the defense force and fleet. Only a portion of them knew about it in advance, and there would be no problem even if they leaked it out.
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded and gently waved his hand to give the order for the fleet to set off. After Xiao Ran's ship took the lead and passed through the incomparably huge teleportation gate in front of them. The ships behind also flew into the portal one by one.
As for the authority, Xiao Ran did not need to personally set it on the portal. He only needed to use his authority as the Army Commander to set it anywhere. There were not many people in the first batch who obtained the authority to enter the portal. Only Xiao Ran's team and all the members of Vry's team. Former President Glass and Brigadier General Perry obtained the authority from the fleet, while Xiaya and Katyas from the Primitive Federation obtained the authority from the fleet.
After entering the teleportation gate, they saw a seemingly endless teleportation channel through the bridge. Unlike the purple teleportation channel through FOLD, this teleportation channel shone with a crystal clear white light. However, this light wasn't dazzling at all. Instead, it was warm and gave them a feeling of calmness and comfort.
The twenty battleships sailed in an orderly manner in the passage. About ten minutes later, Xiao Ran saw a black end of the passage that was different from the white light. The staff in the bridge immediately issued new orders to the other battleships.
"We're about to arrive at the exit. All ships, get ready for battle. Activate defensive measures. All ships, get ready to launch fighter jets at any time. Activate deceleration measures before we arrive at the exit. Form a defensive formation with this ship as the core. By the way, His Excellency the President, former President Glass, and Brigadier General Pei Ling, commander of the defense force, are all on this ship.
"Ship No. 1 received. We will ensure the safety of Sir at all costs."
"Ship No. 2 received."
"Ship No. 3 received."
"Ship No. 1 received. This ship will be the last barrier to ensure the safety of the flagship."
"…"
With Xiao Ran's hearing, it was not difficult for him to hear the replies that weren't too soft. Hearing how resolute their voices were, how they were all willing to use their lives in exchange for the chance to save the flagship, Xiao Ran immediately felt a warmth in his heart. Aside from smiling and feeling touched, Xiao Ran didn't have any other expression or thoughts.
In the blink of an eye, the fleet arrived at the exit of the portal. The moment they passed through the exit, everyone clearly felt that they had entered another world. The warm white light in the portal and the pitch-black universe outside the portal. The feeling of crossing through worlds in an instant sent a huge shock into everyone's hearts.
But despite such a shock, no one let down their guard. The helmsman maintained full vigilance at all times. After the flagship exited the portal, the helmsman pulled up and then decelerated. The warships behind him flew out of the portal one by one and quickly blocked the flagship's path. The CIC officer also reported loudly:
"Unknown targets detected. More than a hundred in number. All ships are in a state of silence. All ships remain vigilant. Fighter jets, move out."
In fact, there was no need for the CIC officer to report. Xiao Ran and the others could see the situation outside through the screen on the bridge. Warships belonging to the Primitive Federation floated quietly not far away. Among these warships, there were countless MS-class warships shuttling back and forth. But soon, these MS-class warships formed a very neat three-dimensional formation and raised their right hands in a salute at the same time.
Their uniform action was so shocking that even former President Glass was taken aback for a moment. Then, he chuckled and said, "Looks like they're welcoming us."
After hearing former President Glass's words, Xiao Ran just stood up from his chair with a smile. "Turn on the full-frequency broadcast."
"It's on. You can speak now, President."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said slowly, "I'm Xiao Ran. Thank you very much for welcoming us. Now that our compatriots have returned, please let them feel your enthusiasm and joy. Let us see your grand welcoming ceremony. "
After Xiao Ran's voice fell, all the MS-class warships dispersed again. Several MS-class warships formed small teams and began to perform fancy tricks. The warships parked nearby all opened their missile launchers and launched missiles that exploded into cosmic fireworks in the same direction. These missiles were all specially manufactured and basically did not have any lethality, but the scattered sparks after exploding would burst out into various patterns and patterns.
These patterns and patterns that had been specially manufactured illuminated the entire starry sky with brilliant colors. Everyone on Xiao Ran's side and the fleet had smiles on their faces after seeing this scene. Some fighter jets even volunteered to interweave with each other in the universe with long trails, using the trails of the fighter jets to draw patterns. It was not until Xiao Ran's flagship and four transport ships landed in the space port outside Anaheim that they stopped.
As early as during the training of the fleet members, Moses and Billy had already told everyone that their identities were humans who escaped from Earth nearly a hundred years ago. They only returned to Earth because peace had been restored on Earth. This just happened to fit the identity that Xiao Ran had previously fabricated.
