(Sorry for the delay. When I read the book reviews today, many people said that Drunk did not give me a notice in advance. In fact, Drunk mentioned something about the rest in the P.S. of the second chapter the day before yesterday. Don't forget to take a look at the P.S. after reading the main text. Although Drunk rarely writes anything in the P.S., in order to let you guys pay more attention, I'll put it in the front. It's just a few words anyway … Alright, here's the main text.)
Currently, Aube's lack of resources and manpower was indeed the biggest problem limiting Aube's rapid development. However, after inexplicably turning Aube into an army's territory, this problem was no longer a problem for Xiao Ran. Although Xiao Ran understood the reason why Aube suddenly became an army's territory, he also roughly understood that the essence of why Aube became an army's territory this time was similar to how the 25th Fleet became an army's territory.
In the current situation where he could not get the support of the other two territories, Aube's current situation could be remedied by other aspects. PLANT, those countries that wanted to remain neutral but had no choice but to join the World Security Alliance, Mars, D.S.S.D, the East Asian Federation that had frequent and ambiguous contact with Aube in private, and even the Federation itself to obtain all the resources that Aube needed. In addition, there were also a lot of technical personnel and material reserves in the Pillar of Heaven's Defense. Once they received material support from these countries, there would be absolutely no problem supporting Aube's normal development during the period when Xiao Ran was carrying out the mission.
Besides, even if they started to mass-produce new machines, the second-generation Aube machines that had already been produced would not be thrown aside just like that. They would also be a part of Aube's combat strength. It should be known that in the original plot, Aube's own strength was not weak. He was fully capable of fighting against ZAFT. It was just that Kajali and the father and son of the Selan family who were in charge of Aube were too useless.
Xiao Ran told Simmonds not to worry about the consumption of resources. As long as she could strengthen Aube's strength as soon as possible, she did not need to worry about anything else. Simmonds also understood Xiao Ran's meaning very well, and then began to speed up the actions of Dawn Society.
Two years ago, due to the war and the neutron jammer, the communication on Earth was very serious at that stage. Perhaps there would also be situations where communication could not be reached on Earth. But now, it was completely different. Even the TV could broadcast live all over the world. It could be said that the impact caused by the neutron jammer had been reduced to a minimum, except for the continuous impact on nuclear weapons and energy sources.
Even if there were some delays in communication during the battle stage due to the interference of equipment and the coverage of communication intermediaries, they could still contact Xiao Ran directly from ZAFT's Giputaro base.
After leaving Dawn Society, Xiao Ran, who returned to his mansion, had a long-distance video call with Bakirulu. Although it was already night on Aube's side, the sun was still hanging in the sky on Giputaro. From the video call, it could be seen that Bakirulu's face was tired and sleepy, but she forced herself to be energetic and reported to Xiao Ran in detail, from the encounter with the Minerva, the joint battle, to what happened in Giputaro.
However, Xiao Ran had already seen Bakirulu's written report, so Bakirulu did not say too much in this regard. During the conversation with Xiao Ran, most of the topics were about the tense situation in ZAFT's army and the librarians.
"We are now at ZAFT's Giputaro base, but President Dilandal has to deal with the Minerva and other matters, so he hasn't contacted us for the time being. However, after arriving here, I found that this base is full of a tense atmosphere. The MS is also mobilizing frequently. It seems like they are preparing for a war. Perhaps it has something to do with the cooperation we reached with LOGOS, but I'm not sure about the specific situation yet." "The Minerva's damage is very serious.
"But the damage to the Minerva is pretty serious. I estimate that it will take at least half a month for the repairs to be completed. If ZAFT really wants to do something, it will take at most half a month. Also, although President Dilandal hasn't met with us yet, he sent a report on the battle between ZAFT and the librarian to the Dominion's Angel. It is indeed your clone, and he knows who I am. We are currently interrogating him. If we get any information, I will contact you immediately."
Xiao Ran looked at Bakirulu's tired face, nodded, and said, "Try to get as much information as possible from him about the librarians. You can also ask ZAFT if they can share information about the librarians on both sides. I believe that Dilandal has taken the initiative to take out the report about them and the librarians, so they shouldn't refuse. By the way, what did the report say?"
"It's similar to what we know. During routine patrols, traces of the library were found. After investigation, they found a base of librarians, but the report didn't say what was found in the base. It was more of a description of the situation encountered during the battle. It simply mentioned that the base belonged to a small integrated military and mechanical body."
"Okay." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then said, "According to my estimation, the base camp of the librarians should still be in space, so the Photocopier's manufacturing location should also be in space. However, there should be many small bases and strongholds on earth. Ask Dilandal if he has any information about other strongholds. Whether it's LOGOS or the librarians, they are all quite ambitious and are definitely our biggest enemy. This problem must be dealt with first."
"Got it." Bakirulu nodded and said, "In addition, the Dominion Angel's loader is also damaged. It is currently under repair, but with the manpower on the Dominion Angel, it will take about half a month to complete the repair. During this time, we probably won't be able to carry out any combat missions here."
"It's okay, we can take advantage of this time to rest. You should communicate more with ZAFT over there. Try to coordinate with ZAFT on how to deal with the librarians and LOGOS as much as possible. After I deal with the joint prisoners, I will leave Aube for a few days. Maybe I will meet up with Dilandal in person. I also have to go to space. If you can't contact me, you can make your own decisions over there."
Bakirulu nodded. She didn't ask Xiao Ran why he was leaving Aube. She just needed to do what she was supposed to do.
After a few more words with Bakirulu, Xiao Ran hung up the communication. Xiao Ran sat alone, resting his hands on the table and supporting his head. For the first time in this world, he seriously thought about the mission.
First of all, no matter what the situation was, only the first of the three main missions had been activated and completed. There were still no signs of the other two missions. However, according to the development of the plot, Xiao Ran, as one of the leaders of one of the three major forces involved in this mission, could roughly guess when the next two missions would be triggered.
The second main mission should be when Dilandal officially announced LOGOS. Under such circumstances, at least most of the joint forces would become the common enemy of the world. Participants who joined the joint forces would have a chance to change their faction, which was very suitable for this mission. Of course, the two biggest targets that could be chosen were ZAFT and Aube.
The third mission would definitely be after Dilandal announced Project Destiny. He wanted to use the weapons of the joint base on the moon to destroy Aube. At that time, the joint forces would have completely split and joined Aube and ZAFT. Participants who did not use the chance to change their faction in the first two missions could continue to choose between Aube and ZAFT.
If there were no surprises, the remaining two main quests would definitely be related to these two major events. Xiao Ran did not doubt this at all. But the side missions were much more difficult than the main missions with clues. The key was that the world still knew too little about the librarians. The only person who knew the most about the librarians was probably Pillar of Heaven. Even if Xiao Ran did have some understanding of the librarians, he was definitely not as knowledgeable as Pillar of Heaven, who had always been at loggerheads with the librarians.
Therefore, if Xiao Ran wanted to obtain more information about the library, he would have to make a trip to the Pillar of Heaven's Defense to get it from Mina or Cong Yunqiu. More importantly, Xiao Ran had a goal in mind when he went to the Pillar of Heaven's Defense, and that was to return the Pillar of Heaven's Defense to Aubrey's arms and transfer the resources and technicians of the Pillar of Heaven's Defense.
