When the secretary handed the invitation to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran looked at the invitation letter in his hand in a daze. In order to express their sincerity, Dilandal actually personally wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Aube. He even chose to send it at such an important time for Aube.
Now that spies had leaked the news that Aube was preparing to conduct a new type of test, Xiao Ran did not believe that Dilandal did not know about this situation. Now that Aube was fully focused on preparing for the new type of test, there was no doubt that there were intelligence personnel on the ZAFT side in Aube. Moreover, they were still in a time of war. It was not surprising that Dilandal came to visit, but it was somewhat inappropriate for him to invite Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran did not understand what Dilandal's intentions were.
After opening the letter sent by the secretary and reading the contents, Xiao Ran frowned slightly. The beginning of the letter was some polite words from Dilandal, followed by the main content. It said that the ZAFT had found a joint research base somewhere that seemed to have been abandoned. Some things related to LOGOS and the joint research on the human body were found there. They hoped that Aube would send someone to deal with it. In addition, they also found traces of a mysterious organization somewhere in East Asia. It seemed to be related to the mysterious organization that Aube was currently investigating, but it was not certain whether it had anything to do with LOGOS or the joint research.
The ZAFT army also fought with the mechs of this mysterious organization. These mechs were exactly the same as the ones that appeared in Yunus 7. They also captured several pilots of this organization, but it was a serious matter. They hoped that Xiao Ran could personally take care of it.
The letter also said that the reason why Xiao Ran personally sent someone over was because this matter was very serious. He did not have to go personally.
Xiao Ran did not hide the fact that he asked Aube to investigate the librarians. In addition, during the Yunus 7 incident, the librarians did appear and attacked the ZAFT army to interfere with the destruction of Yunus 7. Therefore, it was natural that the ZAFT side would also investigate this organization. Needless to say, the ZAFT side was also investigating this organization that obviously had an improved G-series mech. It was just that no specific results were known so far.
Other than this letter, there was also a memory card in the letter. Xiao Ran did not insert this memory card into his computer immediately. Instead, just by looking at the letter that said that a few pilots had been captured and that this was a serious matter that required him to accept personally, Xiao Ran had already deduced some things. This was also the key reason why his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
If he was not mistaken, Xiao Ran's clones were among the captured pilots of ZAFT. Otherwise, Dilandar would not have chosen to send such a letter to Xiao Ran at a time when Aubrey was so nervous. It would only raise suspicion for no reason. As for why Dilandar would send such a letter to him, Xiao Ran was a little puzzled.
Was it to show that he was honest? Or was it to show that he was not a threat and that he was on the same side as Aube? Or was it to show friendliness so that Aube would let down his guard against Zaft? In short, Xiao Ran did not understand why Dilandar would do this, but he was sure that Dilandar would never share information just because of the friendship between the two countries.
Frowning, Xiao Ran, who could not figure it out, pressed a button at the corner of the table. Soon, the office door opened again, and a young female secretary of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old walked in, "Sir, what's the matter?"
Xiao Ran put the memory card in his hand on the table and gently pushed it forward, "Have someone check this thing and copy the content inside. Call the person who sent this letter over."
"Okay." The secretary nodded, bent over slightly, and picked up the memory card on the table. She also revealed a deep black cleavage and a looming beauty in front of Xiao Ran's eyes. Then, she turned around and left. However, Xiao Ran did not notice the seductive beauty. He held his head and thought quietly.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door again. The female secretary appeared again, followed by a young man with long orange hair wearing a Zaft military uniform. The man followed behind the secretary until they walked into the office. Xiao Ran motioned for the female secretary to leave. Then, the man straightened his back and saluted Xiao Ran.
"Zaft Army's Faith Heine Westenfrus greets Sir."
Xiao Ran recognized this young man at first sight. It was Heine who drove the orange tiger in the original plot but was hit by the Freedom Gundam. Then, he was cut in half by Stella's Gaia Gundam. If this Heine didn't die in the battle, he might be able to see the scene of Heine driving the orange fate Gundam in the later plot. However, there were no ifs. In the original plot, the orange fate did not appear because of Heine's death. But now that Stella had joined Aube and got rid of the pain control, it was unknown whether the orange fate that only existed in the setting could be seen.
Xiao Ran looked at Heine from head to toe. He was indeed a handsome man with a sunny temperament, just like in the original plot. However, Xiao Ran was a normal man, so the focus of his observation was naturally not on Heine's appearance. After looking at him, he nodded slightly. "Heine, right? Other than asking you to bring this letter, does Chancellor Dilandal have anything else for you to pass on?"
Heine nodded and said, "The chancellor asked me to tell sir that this is an urgent matter and that you must hurry up. He also asked sir to be careful and not let the information stored in the document leak out, so as not to have a bad impact on sir. In addition, the chancellor asked me to listen to sir's arrangements during my time in Aube. "
"I understand. Thank you for coming all the way here to deliver these things." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "I will ask someone to contact ZAFT to confirm the time. You can relax in Aube for these two days. Now that Aube is the only place that has not been affected by the war, I will ask someone to take you around Aube to have a good look. When I have made the necessary arrangements, you will depart with us."
Heine nodded with a serious face. It should be known that Heine was usually a person who liked to talk and joke. He also didn't like the strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, so it was quite difficult for him to maintain such a serious expression.
After Xiao Ran arranged for someone to take care of Heine for these two days, Xiao Ran looked at Heine's back as he left with the secretary. He narrowed his eyes slightly and touched his chin with his hand. In Dilandal's plan, what kind of path would the pilot who piloted the second Gundam take after his destiny was changed? Xiao Ran was a little curious about this.
And as the only Gundam in SEED-D that had multiple Gundams among the four strongest Gundams, how many Gundams would there be? It was indeed quite a curious matter.
However, now that every country was in the stage of an arms race, after increasing the investment in technology and funds, the number and performance of the Gundams that would appear in the future might be different from the original plot. As for what the changes would be, it was not a good thing for Aube.
Originally, ZAFT wanted to establish a multi-functional MS Special Task Force based on the Gundam. Even the name was decided to be the Final Force. However, in the original plot, this force did not appear in the end. One of the reasons was that the construction of the Gundam was too difficult. Perhaps the lack of pilots was also one of the reasons. However, now that every country was in the midst of an arms race, Aube established a trump card force to catch up with the rest. He even built this force into a large team composed entirely of ace pilots and specially designed Gundams. This had become the target for the United Federation and ZAFT to catch up with.
‘
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Final Force that did not appear in the original plot was likely to appear for real. However, if Xiao Ran could poach a few more pilots from the MS Special Task Force that Dilandal wanted to establish based on the Gundam, this Final Force would not be a threat to Aube. On the contrary, it would become Aube's support, which would also make Dilandal secretly sad.
However, Xiao Ran was only thinking about it. He did not have the confidence to poach Heine over to his side. As for Zhen and Rei, they both had their own weaknesses and concerns in Aube. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to turn them over to his side, especially Rei, who was under Dilandal's care.
Although Xiao Ran agreed to Dilandal's invitation, he did not plan to go in person. As the leader of a country, especially the leader of a neutral country, it was not suitable for Xiao Ran to appear in ZAFT's sphere of influence. On the other hand, it was more normal for Dilandal to appear in Aube. After all, Aube was a neutral country. Even if they were now in a hostile state with the United Federation, Xiao Ran would still open the door to welcome the United Federation's people.
Therefore, even if he went to Dilandal's side, only his subordinates could go. And no one was more suitable than the current commander of the Silver Hand, Bakirulu. Since the LOGOS and the librarians were involved, it was only natural for the Silver Hand, a force that existed for the sake of the LOGOS and the librarians to go. Even ZAFT knew that Aube was investigating the librarians. There was no reason why the United Federation would not know.
