Going to the universe was a long-planned itinerary, and everything was ready. It was also related to the development of Aube, so Xiao Ran could not delay this matter just to wait for the return of Archangel. Delaying it for an hour or two was more than enough. Therefore, Xiao Ran could not continue to communicate with them here. Instead, he directly pointed out their thoughts.
The place to communicate was Mary's captain's room on Archangel. In the captain's room, Xiao Ran, Mary, Lax, Kira, Kajali, and Andrew almost filled up the captain's room.
When they sat down, Kira and Kajali did not know how to ask. When Lax saw the silence in the room and Xiao Ran looking at the time from time to time, he smiled and took the initiative to speak, "Lord Xiao Ran, we were forced to leave Aube for some reason. Looking at it now, it seems that we were not calm enough. However, under the circumstances at that time, we had no other choice but to leave. Kajali's marriage, Kira, and the assassination attempt on Aube made us feel that Aube is not safe, especially in the current situation of the world. The Selan family's actions and the appearance of the ZAFT assassination team made Aube even more unpredictable."
"It was hard for us not to think that Aube had some other connection with ZAFT or the Union. If that was the case, Kajali, Kira, and I would be in danger if we continued to stay in Aube, so we made the choice to leave Aube."
"But after leaving Aube, the changes in the world made us even more confused. My lord, you suddenly appeared and took down the henchmen led by the Selan family in one fell swoop. Moreover, the relationship between Aube and ZAFT suddenly became close. Although we are very sorry, we thought that Dilandar's visit might have something to do with the assassination attempt on us. Or rather, did the assassination attempt on us have something to do with you, my lord? What happened to Aube after that made us wonder what your purpose was. And I would like to ask you, my lord, what do you think about the current situation of the world?"
Lax first explained the reason why they left Aube, then explained the abnormal relationship between Aube and ZAFT, and then mentioned the assassination attempt on them. He also pointed out that the relationship between Aube and ZAFT was not normal. He was trying to convey something to Xiao Ran.
Of course, Xiao Ran could understand the meaning behind Lax's words. He was trying to say that Xiao Ran's time of appearance was too coincidental. Connecting all these together, it would make people wonder if Xiao Ran had some other purpose, and if he had some kind of conspiracy with Dilandar. This was also the reason why he appeared on the battlefield and attacked Aube's army.
Xiao Ran also understood what Lax was trying to say. Indeed, there were some intentional elements in it. For example, Xiao Ran deliberately came out after Kajali left Aube. For example, Dilandar tested Aube and then proposed a cooperation, which Xiao Ran agreed to. It was also a way to deliberately make Dilandar walk on the same path.
But it was undeniable that Dilandar might be plotting against Aube, but Xiao Ran was also plotting against Dilandar. It would be a lie to say that the relationship between the two was very good. It was also true that Aube and ZAFT cooperated. After all, both sides had a common enemy, the librarians. As for the alliance, Dilandar wanted to break up the alliance, and Xiao Ran also had the same idea. Naturally, they would cooperate happily on the surface.
After understanding the thoughts and considerations of Lax and Kira, Xiao Ran also nodded and said, "That's true. The timing of all these things does seem to have a lot to do with each other. It's hard not to wonder if there's any conspiracy or something wrong, but you guys are overthinking it."
"I know about Kajali's situation, and I also know about the assassination attempt on you guys. One is under pressure from Aube and the alliance, and the other is under pressure from the mastermind behind ZAFT. Under such pressure, leaving Aube was the right choice, and my sudden appearance did indeed bring you guys a lot of trouble. All of this can only be said to be an unexplainable coincidence."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then said, "I did return to Aube before you guys left, but Aube's situation made it impossible for me to appear in front of the public at will. Whether it was the World Security Alliance, the pressure from the alliance, or even the internal conflicts within Aube, before I figured out the specific situation, I could only secretly ask others to help me find out about Aube's situation."
"However, on the day of the wedding, the Freedom Gundam suddenly appeared and took away Kajali, which became the reason I had to stand up. Otherwise, Aube would completely fall into the hands of the Seran Family, join the World Security Alliance, and send troops to deal with ZAFT. This is also a fact that must be acknowledged."
"A series of cabinets and families led by the Seran Family had already reached some kind of agreement with the alliance. Kajali's house arrest and even their marriage were all part of their plan. Once Kajali really marries Kajali, it is inevitable that her power will be taken away. And even if she retains her position as the prime minister, Kajali can't decide Aube's direction under the pressure of the Seran Family."
"The Aube I handed over to Kajali two years ago is not the current Aube. The original engagement was also canceled because of my appearance. However, when I came back, I found that Aube had become like this, and Kajali even agreed to marry Seran. I won't explain the reasons, but you should also be able to see that Kajali is not suitable to be Aube's prime minister. Even if she wants to, as Master Mi said in his last words, she doesn't have the ability. You should also be able to see from Aube's situation in the past two years."
"As for the matter between Aube and ZAFT, it is actually very simple. Although Aube stands from a neutral point of view, it doesn't mean that the situation of the world has nothing to do with Aube. We can choose not to participate in the war between the alliance and ZAFT, but we can't ignore the alliance's attack on Aube. Under such circumstances, I don't deny that Aube is closer to ZAFT, who is willing to help. However, the relationship between Aube and ZAFT is not that simple."
"I think you should also know that the Photocopies appeared in the last war, and now the organization that created the Photocopies, the Librarians, has jumped out again. Aube's contact with ZAFT is also to deal with this organization called the Librarians, not to join the war between the two sides. For Aube, the war between ZAFT and the alliance is on the surface, but the Librarians' conspiracy against the world is carried out in the dark. In my opinion, the Librarians' threat to the world is greater than the alliance and ZAFT."
"You can imagine, if the Librarians get the genes and memories of Kira and Aslan, and create an army of Kira and Aslan, then no force in the world can be unharmed under their attack. And what we can be sure of now is that the Librarians already have my gene sample, and based on my genes, they have created a group of Photocopies with me as the prototype."
Xiao Ran's words suddenly made everyone present show a shocked expression. They immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Xiao Ran was currently one of the top pilots in the world, and the only people who could compete with him were probably Aslan, Kira, and a few others.
And if Xiao Ran's genes were used to create a group of powerful pilots, then the consequences were really serious to an unimaginable degree.
Seeing the heavy and shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Ran waved his hand and smiled, saying, "But you don't have to worry too much about this. We have confirmed that my Photocopies have not reached my current level, which is about the same level as two years ago. In terms of combat ability, they might be at the level of a typical Zaft Red Specter, but they are not a threat to us. This time, the reason why the Dominion Angel appeared at that place was to go to Zaft to take a prisoner of a librarian, who is also my Photocopy.
"And the Minerva is also an important force in my cooperation with Dilandar to deal with the librarians. Naturally, I couldn't just watch the Minerva be surrounded by the Earth Army without doing anything. Naturally, I would find a reason to join the battle to help the Minerva, but this doesn't mean that Aube has declared war on the Alliance and joined the Zaft camp. Everything that happened in that battle can only be said to be because you were too impulsive.
"At the same time, the cooperation between Aube and the Zaft is not just that. Other than the librarians, from Aube's neutral standpoint, naturally, he hopes that Earth can end the war and enter a new era of peace. But behind the Alliance, there is an organization called LOGOS that deliberately provoked the war between the two sides and did many unforgivable things. It can be said that these people are also Aube's natural enemies. Now, the Zaft and the Alliance are at war, so if one day the war between the two sides reaches a stalemate, Aube might become another Alliance, another Zaft. As long as this organization exists, as long as we become their target or stumbling block, then Aube will never be able to escape this war."
