In the evening, the wedding banquet for Kajali and Yura Seran was held as usual. However, Kajali was taken away by the Gundam and her whereabouts were unknown. Yura Seran and his old man, along with a large number of Aube's cabinet officials and military officers, were all locked up in prison. Therefore, the banquet became a welcoming reception for Xiao Ran. It was also a place for Xiao Ran to express his apology to the various delegations that were frightened today.
Among them, the small neutral countries that had always been the third force under Aube were the happiest. They were also neutral countries like Aube, but they were also forced to join the so-called World Security Alliance because of the tyranny of the alliance. But now, Xiao Ran's appearance could change their current situation to a certain extent. Everyone knew that Xiao Ran was not a person who was afraid of fighting. He was a man of his word, and most importantly, he had the strength to do so.
Once Aube took the lead, they would follow closely behind and unite all their forces. The alliance would not dare to take the initiative to provoke Xiao Ran under the strong military pressure of ZAFT at this time. Some people could even see that someone from the alliance might jump out soon to calm Aube down.
In addition to the representatives of these small countries, the other people who were happy were, of course, the few people sent by PLANT to congratulate them. Although Aube was prepared to join the World Security Alliance, Aube and PLANT had cooperated a lot before. So, before they completely fell out, Aube would still follow the etiquette.
Aube's objection to joining the World Security Alliance made the representatives of PLANT very happy. After all, Aube was the third largest military force in the world, and the World Security Alliance was aimed at PLANT. Now that Aube announced that he would not join the alliance, the pressure on them was greatly reduced. What's more, Xiao Ran was ready to declare war on the alliance. This also made the representatives of PLANT see the hope of cooperation, and they pulled Aube into their front line.
So throughout the night, from the beginning to the end of the banquet, countless people surrounded Xiao Ran. But they also knew that today was not the time to talk about those things. Instead, they surrounded Xiao Ran and said some words of praise.
It was not until the banquet ended that Xiao Ran left under the protection of a group of guards. He was a little confused and temporarily stayed in the newly built mansion of the Asharas.
Now, Xiao Ran's guard level couldn't be higher. Not only because of Xiao Ran's current status in Aube, but also because of the news of Xiao Ran's kidnapping two years ago. Many people in Aube, whether they were officials or citizens, held a grudge against him. So, his guard level was raised to the highest level to prevent the same thing from happening again. Of course, this also meant that Kajali was taken away.
There were many people around Xiao Ran's every move. The area around the Asharas' mansion where he was temporarily staying was under full martial law, and the military was directly in charge. Although this was not necessary for Xiao Ran, he would not stop his subordinates from doing so. Now that Aube was too nervous and had done so many things one after another, Xiao Ran did not want to provoke their nervous nerves, so he followed their arrangements.
After entering the unfamiliar Asharas' mansion and sitting down, Bakirulu walked to Xiao Ran with a small laptop. She directly turned on the laptop and looked at the content on it while reporting to Xiao Ran, "Sir, the delegation from Mars, PLANT, and the third neutral force led by Aube have just requested a formal meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They hope that we can give them a reply as soon as possible. In addition, the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian Federation, and the East Asian Federation have all requested a meeting with you. "
"In addition, all the henchmen and allies of the Seran family, except for a few who escaped, have all been detained. You have to decide how to deal with them in the end."
"The military also issued an official statement in the afternoon that they will support you unconditionally. At the same time, they have also sent orders to all the troops stationed abroad. They will all return within a month at the latest. The Aube Army is now fully prepared for war. The selection of outstanding pilots will also begin tomorrow."
"The government and the military need you to arrange and sign the vacancies caused by the arrest of the Seran family and their henchmen."
A lot of things came out of Bakirulu's mouth. Xiao Ran let out a long sigh of relief and sat up straight again. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let the Cabinet and the National Defense Headquarters select suitable personnel for me to sign. Agree to all the matters regarding the meeting. Arrange the time as you see fit. Make sufficient preparations for the war. Let the Dawn Society immediately start expanding and try to find the lost technical personnel. Then, start the research and development of the mecha for the ace pilots. I will let the Dawn Society know the specific requirements when they are ready."
"In addition, find a place in Obne to set up a post-disaster relief camp. Officially begin accepting refugees who suffered in the war. However, it doesn't matter if they are normal people or adjusters. The relief supplies must be prepared in advance. Arrange a press conference in three days. I want to be on stage personally."
"Finally, clean up the Seran family's mansion. I will move there after some renovations. After all, this is the Ashas family's mansion. It's okay for me to stay here for a few days, but it's not appropriate for me to stay here for too long."
Bakirulu noted down Xiao Ran's words and nodded. At this time, a person who looked like a butler walked in quietly. He bowed slightly to Xiao Ran and said, "Sir, there is a guest here. She wishes to meet with you."
"At this time?" Xiao Ran was stunned. He asked, "Who is it?"
The butler said, "It's the lady above."
When the butler said this, Xiao Ran knew who this lady was. Lund Mina Sahak, the Shadow War God of Aube. Like Kajali, she was one of the successors of the orthodox Aube. She was the leader of the Pillar of Heaven and the true advocate of the heretical plan. Because she had different ideals from the Ashas, she was independent in the universe.
"Why is she here? And why is she here to visit me? " Xiao Ran was a little surprised, but he still nodded to the butler. "I understand. Bring her in."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and turned to leave. Xiao Ran looked at Bakirulu and said, "That's all for now. Settle the things I have arranged as soon as possible. You may go."
Bakirulu nodded and left. A few minutes later, Xiao Ran saw Mina Lund, who was dressed to the nines, walking in.
After bringing Mina to Xiao Ran, the butler quietly turned and left. Mina, the Shadow War God of Aube, stood in front of Xiao Ran and looked at Xiao Ran seriously. Xiao Ran also stood up from the sofa and looked at Mina.
Mina's hair was long and straight. Although her face had feminine features and gentleness, Xiao Ran could also feel a sense of pride from her. Looking at her, Xiao Ran thought of another person who looked like her, who was killed by him, Law, and Cong Yunwei when he first came to this world. That person was Mina's twin brother, Gina.
Xiao Ran didn't ask why Mina was here, and Mina didn't keep this question for too long. She looked at Xiao Ran with a faint smile and said unhurriedly, "I didn't expect that in the end, an outsider would be in charge of Aube. The Ashas, the Selans, and even my Sahak Family have all become your stepping stones. Starting from the Dawn Society, you forced my Sahak Family to let go of the Dawn Society. After that, we could only submit to the Pillar of Heaven."
"After that, you gained the trust of the former representative of the Ashas. Today, you arrested the last person who could threaten your position, the Selans, and their henchmen. It can be said that no one in the entire Aube is your opponent now, not even Kajali. And as long as you deny her identity, she will never be able to gain the power of Aube again."
"The entire Aubrey has been completely within your calculations. From a university teaching assistant who was nothing to you, you actually managed to take over Aubrey for the second time in such a short period of time. What's more, you're now the most popular leader in Aubrey. Your ability is indeed very shocking. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Aubrey, which was established by many aristocratic families, would end up in the hands of an outsider who is nothing. Even if you're in control of everything in Aubrey now, do you know how many of the aristocratic families are sincere to you? How much hatred do they have for you who took away their power? "
Xiao Ran nodded and said with a smile, "First of all, I have to clarify that I have never schemed against Aube. Today, I was able to reach this point because of various coincidences. In addition, Kajali's departure was their own choice. I didn't do anything here. What the Selans did was indeed against Aube's ideals. As the representative of the Ashas, there is nothing wrong with my decision."
"As for the people you said who hate me and oppose me, I can only take special measures against them in the current crisis that Aube is facing. I believe that no one will choose to jump out at this time to mess with me. When that time comes, even if I let them go, the military and the people won't let them go. But you, who is independent of the Pillar of Heaven, actually came to visit me at this time. This is what I find strange. "
