Xiao Ran shook his head that was a little dizzy from the various documents. He put down the pen in his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose twice. He said to Baki Lulu, "Bring them here."
Bakirulu looked at Xiao Ran's tired look and nodded slightly. She turned around and walked out. Before Xiao Ran could tidy up the things on the table, the Martian prince with long blue hair and red eyes, Yagnis, walked in.
"Please sit." Xiao Ran stood up from his seat after seeing Yagnis walk in. He led Yagnis to the sofa on the side of the huge office and smiled at Yagnis. "Prince Yagnis, why are you looking for me?"
Yagnis was a little embarrassed when he heard Xiao Ran calling him prince. After calming down, he shook his head and said, "Representative Xiao Ran, please don't call me that. Everyone in Austrel has their own duties and obligations. I'm not a prince, but my duty is to protect the people of Austrel."
"I forgot that everyone's duties in Austrel are basically set from birth." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. The Austrel colonial satellite on Mars, as well as the other colonial satellites on Mars, followed the same rules as the Destiny Plan proposed by Dilandar. Everyone was basically arranged their respective duties and the work they were going to work for their entire lives when they were born.
However, the Martians had no choice but to do so. Due to the lack of resources on Mars, they couldn't afford to have any wars like they did on Earth. In order to avoid wars and allow the colonies to develop peacefully under the premise of conflict, they had to establish their respective responsibilities from the beginning due to environmental constraints. But this approach did ensure that no war ever broke out on Mars no matter what happened. All conflicts were resolved through dialogue and communication.
The peaceful-born Martians naturally had a good impression of Aube, who also maintained neutrality and peace. Yagnis' natural duties also made him feel a sense of sympathy for Kajali, who was willing to sacrifice everything for the interests of the country. This allowed Yagnis and Kajali to have a good personal relationship and consensus after their first contact.
Xiao Ran looked at him and smiled. "So, Mr. Yagnis, what brings you here this time?"
Yagnis was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard that Xiao Ran's representative arranged the Mars delegation's MS team to help defend Aube, but as far as I know, Aube's current strength is not enough to fight against the Earth Alliance. I also want to contribute more to Aube, who has the same philosophy as Austrel, so I hope to go to the front line with the fleet."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he was not familiar with Yagnis, but he knew that he was also one of the protagonists in the plot. Since he could be the protagonist, he was also an adjuster, so his ability should not be too bad. Xiao Ran also agreed to let him join the battle because he was sincerely willing to help Aube. However, in order to ensure the safety of all the members of the Mars delegation, he arranged for them to stay in Aube to defend.
But judging from Yagnis' intention, he was not willing to stay in Aube. Instead, he wanted to fight head-on. This surprised Xiao Ran a little. After all, everything in Aube had nothing to do with Mars, and Yagnis' approach seemed a little too proactive. However, Xiao Ran could also see that Yagnis was sincere in wanting to help Aube and had no other intentions, so after thinking for a while, he nodded and said,
"Speaking of this, I have to express my gratitude to the Mars delegation again, but if you want to go to the front line, the situation there will definitely be more dangerous than staying in Aube. If Mr. Yagnis wants to go to the front line with us, although I won't object, I still hope that you can be more cautious."
Yagnis looked at Xiao Ran confidently, "I've already thought about it. I'll be the only member of the Mars delegation's MS team to go with the fleet. With my strength, even if I can't play a big role in the battle, I'll have no problem protecting myself."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Yagnis." Xiao Ran stood up with a smile and extended his right hand to Yagnis. The latter also stood up and smiled at Xiao Ran, "Representative Xiao Ran, just call me Yagnis. It's too polite to call me 'Mr.', but I still have a question that I don't understand. I hope Representative Xiao Ran can give me an answer."
Xiao Ran nodded and gently raised his hand, "Please go ahead."
Yagnis looked at Xiao Ran and asked the question in his heart, "According to the philosophy of the former Ashar representative, Aube's peace philosophy is that he doesn't want Aube to fall into the vortex of war, so he always gives in to the Alliance. But why did Representative Xiao Ran choose a completely different approach and take the initiative to provoke the Alliance? Isn't this pushing Aube onto the path of war?"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and gestured for Yagnis to sit down again. He then said, "Kajali wants to, but she can't. Since she took over Aube from me, she has already made Aube bear too many things that he shouldn't bear. I'm not denying that her ideas and practices are wrong, but she misunderstood the true meaning of Aube's peace philosophy. We don't want war, and we want all conflicts to be resolved through communication. But after all, Earth is not Mars. Aube has this awareness, but it doesn't mean the Alliance has it too.
"That's why Aubrey's philosophy is to look forward to peace, but he isn't afraid of war. It's precisely because Carrie has been backing down time and time again that Aubrey has been oppressed by the alliance. This has caused Aubrey to lose the position of being able to truly discuss and communicate with the alliance as an equal. Instead, he has become a weakling who will only listen to threats of violence."
"Ensuring peace requires awareness. Without awareness, one needs strength to make others agree with this awareness. Without strength, one can't guarantee this awareness. If Aube was forced to sign the agreement and join the Alliance, then the next time, he would be forced by the Alliance to send troops to join the Alliance and PLANT's battle to divide the world into two colors. He would become a tool of the Alliance."
"Kajali's approach will also cause Aube to fall into war, but her sacrifice will not be rewarded. This kind of war will completely deviate from the will and philosophy of peace. My initiative to provoke the Alliance is also not correct. My actions are only to strengthen Aube's wish for peace, to ensure that Aube will not be used, and to ensure that this world will not be divided into two colors by the Alliance and PLANT. This is a war for Aube, and a war for those small countries and factions who are currently looking at Aube but do not have the courage to stand up for peace. The nature of this war is completely different."
"And I adhere to the idea that if others don't offend me, I won't offend them. Not only the Alliance, but if PLANT forces us to join them, then Aube will also have a war with PLANT. This kind of war is truly a war for peace, not just to protect Aube and let our soldiers fight for them."
After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Yagnis fell into deep thought. It was not until a long time later that he turned around and nodded to Xiao Ran, "I understand. Thank you for answering my doubts."
At this moment, two footsteps sounded in the ears of Xiao Ran and Yagnis. When Xiao Ran and Yagnis turned their heads, they saw Bakirulu walking in with a young man wearing a ZAFT military purple pilot uniform. Bakirulu was also holding a plate in her hand, with three steaming cups on it.
Bakirulu walked directly to Xiao Ran's side and placed the three cups on the table in the middle of the sofa. The young man who followed Bakirulu in stood at the door of the office, looking at Xiao Ran who was sitting on the sofa in disbelief.
Xiao Ran stood up and walked towards the young man. With a smile on his face, he spread out his hands and said, "Aslan, welcome back."
"Lord Xiao Ran!?" This young man was Aslan, who had returned to PLANT and joined the ZAFT military and became a member of FAITH. He looked at Xiao Ran with an expression of disbelief. He never thought that he would see Xiao Ran here. It was not until Xiao Ran walked up to him and hugged him gently that Aslan said in an incredulous tone, "Lord Xiao Ran, when did you come back? Where is Kajali? What happened to Aube? Why did he join forces with us? "
After hearing Xiao Ran say Aslan's name, Yagnes also showed a little surprise on his face. He then looked at Aslan seriously, but showed a puzzled expression when he saw the clothes the other party was wearing.
After the Mars delegation arrived on Earth, the first place they visited was PLANT. All the help and guidance of the Mars delegation on Earth were arranged by Aslan's people. Yagnes had heard the name Aslan many times. According to what he heard, Aslan disappeared after the last war. But why did he appear here? Why was he so familiar with Xiao Ran? And why was he wearing the ZAFT military uniform on board? Of course, Yagnes was puzzled.
"Come on, it's a long story. I'll tell you slowly in a while. First, let me introduce you to a promising young man." Xiao Ran smiled and introduced Aslan to Yagnes. After both sides nodded and greeted each other, the two sat side by side. Aslan looked at Xiao Ran eagerly, hoping that Xiao Ran would answer his question.
