Perhaps Dilandar felt that he had understood the current situation in Aube, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Xiao Ran. He also told Xiao Ran that although he had confirmed the existence of LOGOS, he still needed to confirm the specific composition and identity of LOGOS members. Therefore, it would take some time to ensure that they could eliminate LOGOS in one fell swoop. This way, Xiao Ran didn't need to be too anxious to prepare.
Dilandar wasn't in a hurry. Maybe he wanted to buy more time for himself, or maybe he didn't know the true identity of LOGOS members as he said, or maybe he felt that the current world wasn't hot enough. In short, no matter the reason, although the two sides had agreed to work together to deal with LOGOS, it was temporarily put on hold.
However, Xiao Ran's plan to form a special force did not stop there. Although Aubrey now had Xiao Ran, Mu, Aeschi, and the other participants, as well as Stella and the other two Cockroaches, in terms of overall strength, the number of troops was the smallest among the three major forces in this world. If it wasn't for the joint battle with ZAFT that involved countless troops from both sides, regardless of whether it was in the universe or on Earth, where there were battlefields everywhere, Aubrey's troops were really not enough.
Even if Xiao Ran and the others could gain an absolute advantage in the battle, apart from Xiao Ran and the others, the strength of Aube was absolutely no match for ZAFT and the Alliance. At present, it was impossible to increase the number of troops in a short period of time, so Xiao Ran decided to form a special force to consolidate the quality of the troops.
Now, the Alliance seemed to have forgotten about Aube, and ZAFT wouldn't attack Aube. Instead, it allowed Aube to obtain a rare peace. In a situation where the world was at war, Aube also became an extremely rare place on Earth, and at the same time, it also brought Aube more time.
Xiao Ran asked Dawn Society to speed up the development and research of new spaceships. For this purpose, he also asked for a lot of technical support from Law, who was far away in the Heavenly Pillar. To develop a new spaceship that was suitable and had a certain level of combat power with the current resources of Aube was indeed a huge burden for Aube. At the same time, Xiao Ran also asked Aube to support the development of the Heavenly Pillar to a certain extent. The resource shortage of the Heavenly Pillar had led to the entire Aube basically falling into a period of shortage of resources.
However, this kind of shortage of resources was not a big problem for Xiao Ran. Once Aube became an exclusive faction, there would be countless resources for Aube to use. And when Aube really joined the war, they could also plunder the resources of the Alliance or ZAFT to supplement themselves. Therefore, in Xiao Ran's eyes, the shortage of resources was temporary. As long as they could get through this period of time, develop a certain level of combat power, and achieve the final victory, no matter what difficulties they faced, with the support of World 0079 and the Transdimensional Fortress F, no matter what difficulties they faced, they would be reduced to nothing with the support of World 0079 and World F of the Transdimensional Fortress.
Although Xiao Ran had begun to prepare for the ace troop, he did not forget about the development of the military. In the past two years, Aube had also begun to send demobilization requests to the soldiers who had been cut down due to the pressure from the Alliance and PLANT. The reason why it was a request and not an order was entirely because the demobilization was voluntary. At the same time, he had also begun to recruit new soldiers throughout Aube's territory.
At the right time, Erica Simmonds also brought two pilots she recommended to Xiao Ran. One of them was about the same height as Xiao Ran. He did not look strong, but he gave off the feeling of a boulder. He was once the strongest pilot of Aube's heresy. He had unparalleled combat ability and talent, and was extremely good at piloting an MS for combat. Although he was only a natural, he had a powerful combat power that was not inferior to the adjusters.
The second one was currently on the Minerva. She was fighting bravely for ZAFT, the younger sister of Real Flying Bird, Mayo Flying Bird. When Xiao Ran first saw Mayo, she was just a very young and innocent girl, wearing a school uniform. But now, in Xiao Ran's eyes, Mayo was a little girl with a pair of big eyes and a firm face, but her smile was very sweet. The current Mayo was even younger than Miriya, but her height was about the same as Miriya's. In terms of her figure, because she was an adjuster, she was already of a certain size, but one could see the aura of a soldier from her.
When Xiao Ran saw Director Simmonds with a captain in Aube's uniform and a long-haired girl in an orange coat from Dawn Society, he already knew the identity of the two. When Simmonds brought the two to Xiao Ran's huge desk, Xiao Ran stood up and walked around the desk to greet the two with a smile.
"Welcome. I'm sorry, but because there are too many things to do, I can only let you meet in this messy place." Xiao Ran smiled and reached out to shake hands with Barley and Mayo.
Barley maintained a calm and collected appearance, but Mayo seemed to be more excited and lively after seeing Xiao Ran. Her little face was also flushed red and she looked very cute. It was the expression of someone who met their idol but had to suppress their excitement. After Xiao Ran said those words, Mayo quickly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we are the ones who disturbed you."
Barley also shook his head and said, "It's our honor to be able to meet you here."
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He also nodded to Simmonds as a greeting. Then, he raised his hand and guided the three to sit on the sofa next to him. When they sat down, Xiao Ran saw Mayo's tense expression and smiled. "Mayo, don't be nervous. If you haven't forgotten, we have met once. At that time, you were still so tall. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for two years, you have matured a lot and grown a lot."
When Mayo heard that Xiao Ran still remembered her, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue. A happy smile appeared on her face. Although the real Flying Bird completely disappeared after meeting Xiao Ran, Mayo still remembered that the real Flying Bird went to another place to protect Aube. Not long ago, she found out that the real Flying Bird was doing well and had joined the Zaft to become an ace pilot there. She also saw him in the Dawn Society's shipyard with her own eyes.
However, Mayo knew that the real Flying Bird must have joined the Zaft because of Xiao Ran's arrangement. The real Flying Bird could become an ace pilot because of his own strength. While she was proud and worried for her brother, she, who was also a pilot, could only take the MS test in the Dawn Society. This caused this girl with great potential to secretly compete with others. When she found out that she was about to step into the real battlefield and could even meet her idol, she was very excited and nervous.
When Mayo smiled, she looked very bright. This kind of sunshine gave people a very pure feeling. Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. Xiao Ran was stunned not because of anything else, but because he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for such a bright and simple girl to be pushed into the battlefield.
However, Mayo wanted to fight on her own accord, and Aube really needed excellent pilots now, so Xiao Ran was only stunned for a short moment before he returned to normal. He then looked at Barley and said, "Barley He, the strongest pilot in the heretics, a Grandmaster of Combat. In the last war, you fought bravely and achieved great results. Two years ago, you left the army because you were disappointed with Aube. Thank you very much for coming back when Aube needed you the most."
Barley shook his head and said to Xiao Ran seriously, "When Aube became a threat because of his strength, I have always admired Master's initiative to leave. So after Master left, I also chose to do the same thing as Master. Although it may be because of my disappointment with Aube, if I didn't come back when Master needed strength, then I don't deserve to be a soldier of Aube. Besides, being able to continue fighting under Master's command is something I have always dreamed of."
"Yes." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded gently. He looked at the two of them and said, "Aube may have some shortcomings in the past or the present, but I believe that with Aube's development, we will definitely be able to turn these disappointing things into something we can be proud of."
Seeing the two of them nodding, Xiao Ran smiled and continued, "Aube has gone through a lot now, and this country is riddled with holes. However, it is also an opportunity to break the shackles and get on the fast track of development again. In order to develop, the first thing to do is to not be affected. Then, we need to have enough strength to protect Aube in a world that is becoming more and more chaotic."
"Director Simmonds recommended the two of you to me. After knowing what happened to the two of you, I have also done some research on the two of you. I found that both of you are very excellent pilots and soldiers. Of course, the current Mayo, you are still far from Captain Billy in terms of experience, but I believe that you will soon grow to a qualified level. I have no doubt about that. And Barley, your combat style is indeed worthy of the title of the strongest pilot in the heretics. "
As he spoke, Xiao Ran stood up from the sofa. When Barley and Mayo saw Xiao Ran stand up, they wanted to stand up as well. However, Xiao Ran gestured for them to sit down. They watched as Xiao Ran walked to his desk, took out a stack of documents, and walked back to his original seat.
