The Librarians and LOGOS, these two mysterious organizations, were not unfamiliar to everyone present. The Librarians had come into contact with them during the battle two years ago and knew more about the Photocopies. As for LOGOS, this mysterious organization that had always been hidden behind the world, it was not their first time hearing about it. They knew that LOGOS was an alliance formed by some death merchants.
Xiao Ran's meaning was very clear. Aube would not participate in the war between ZAFT and the Alliance, but he would work with ZAFT to deal with LOGOS. However, LOGOS controlled the Alliance, which meant that under certain circumstances, Aube might also start a war against the Alliance because of LOGOS. However, this was indeed a fundamental problem regarding the current world war. Once LOGOS was dealt with, the Alliance and ZAFT would have no more reason to fight, and the world would naturally be peaceful. This was also in line with Aube's philosophy.
However, there were some things that Xiao Ran knew in his heart. Kira and Lax did not know, and Xiao Ran did not need to let them know. These words were enough. Whether Lax and Kira could understand or not, Xiao Ran did not care too much. After all, even if they fought against the Alliance and LOGOS, ZAFT would be the main force in front of them.
What Xiao Ran needed to do now was to follow the main mission issued by Prometheus and do his best to complete the three main missions to return to Prometheus. Then, he would adjust his plan according to the situation. Anyway, as long as he could complete the three missions and return to Prometheus, Aube would be able to obtain the unconditional support of the other two worlds. At that time, no matter what the situation was, he would be able to deal with it calmly.
Even if Xiao Ran had completely experienced the entire storyline of the Gundam SEED-D, all the preparations that he had made now, in addition to his understanding of the storyline, would still allow him to gain the upper hand in the subsequent storyline. Not to mention, the two pilots that Dilandar valued the most were on his side. If Dilandar really dared to make any moves at that time, the person who would be at a disadvantage would definitely not be Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran explained his and Aube's purpose and attitude to everyone, which was to completely target the Librarians and LOGOS. As for the current world situation, Xiao Ran thought about it for a while, then said to everyone, "Don't worry.
"Regarding the current situation of the world, on the surface, it seems that the whole world has been divided into three forces. The Alliance for World Security led by Affinity Alliance, the Resistance led by ZAFT army, and Aube led by most of them are organizations and effects, and they are the neutral forces that have the least contact."
"Among the three forces, the Alliance seems to be the strongest. They have the largest number of troops and logistical supplies, and they have the fastest speed. On the other hand, ZAFT has higher combat ability, elite personnel, and better combat equipment, so these two forces are evenly matched like fire and water. The neutral force led by Aube is the weakest of the three forces. They have the least number of people, the least resources, and the least logistical support. They basically don't have the ability to fight with any of the two forces alone."
"Under the influence of LOGOS, the Alliance can't wait to eliminate all the regulators in PLANT. At the same time, they are also eyeing Aube covetously. If it weren't for the fact that Aube has shown enough strength, coupled with ZAFT's restraint, the Alliance couldn't mobilize too many troops to encircle and suppress Aube, and Aube's performance is strong enough, I'm afraid that Aube would have been swallowed by the Alliance long ago and become their hired thug."
"On the other hand, ZAFT has shown an amiable attitude. They mainly try to win over all forces and don't show too much ambition to the outside world. At present, they are no threat to Aube. Naturally, they can gain the favor of the neutral forces. And once ZAFT is defeated, the next target of the Alliance will definitely be Aube. So even if it's for the sake of Aube's stability, Aube must not allow ZAFT to fail."
"Although we, Aube, have no intention of participating in the war, nor do we have the ambition to take advantage of the war to occupy more territory, if we want to maintain the peace of Aube, we must let Aube gain enough strength to deter outsiders. Strength can not only bring war, but also peace."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran also shook his head. "But I have to say that the current situation in Audubon is so bad that it is beyond cure. The internal situation is chaotic and corrupt. There are those who are pro-union, pro-ZAFT, and those who maintain neutrality. A country that can't even unite its own people can't expect this country to develop and grow."
"However, this situation has improved a lot after getting rid of the Seran family. I can also tell you clearly that after I returned to power, I replaced all the people who couldn't stand with me. I barely managed to reunite the current Aube. However, at least half of the strategic reserves and materials that should have been in Aube have gone missing. This is not even counting the strategic reserves that should have been stored in the past two years and the consumption of Dawn Society's construction of the Murasame. You can imagine how huge this batch of strategic materials is, and until now, I still haven't found the whereabouts of this batch of materials."
As soon as Xiao Ran's voice fell, Kira, Andrew, Mary, and Lax all turned to look at Kajali, who was equally shocked. How could they not be shocked? According to Xiao Ran's words, the original strategic materials that could be stored in the treasury every year should have totaled to 140 in two years. However, more than half of the strategic reserves had gone missing. Counting the consumption of the Murasame, Aube's current strategic materials were basically zero.
Everyone present was very clear about Aube's situation two years ago. Not to exaggerate, the Union and PLANT had compensated a huge amount of materials to Aube at that time. If they could develop normally until now, even if Aube's overall strength could not surpass the Union, it could at least be on par with PLANT. At that time, Dawn Society was completely preserved. Although there were some changes in the middle that led to Dawn Society's weakness, and Aube's development stagnated and even became weak for some reasons, it was not to the extent that Aube was lacking to the extent that Xiao Ran said.
"This is impossible!" Kajali suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Ran in disbelief, "This is absolutely impossible! The strategic materials have always been Aube's most important reserve. They have always been preserved and have never been moved. How could this happen? You must be lying to me. I want to see it for myself. "
"Sit down!" Xiao Ran's face darkened and he coldly said to Kajali, "Whether the truth is as I said, you will know in the future. If it weren't for the help of the waste recycling company, Aube wouldn't even be able to produce 100 units of MS now. At the same time, these materials have to be taken into account for the daily maintenance and replacement of materials and parts. You can imagine how serious the situation is."
"When I handed Aube over to you, what kind of promise did you make? You know better than anyone else what kind of situation Aube was in when I handed him over to you. Two years, only two years. Under your leadership, you actually turned Aube into what he is now. Instead of calming down and thinking about your mistakes, you have always been so impulsive and impulsive. Do you know how big of an impact this matter will have on Aube if this matter is exposed? The country is not your toy, and it is not a game that you can play. It does not allow you to do whatever you want without restraint. "
"I don't treat the country as a toy!" Kajali gritted her teeth and stubbornly looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Everything I did was for Aube, for Aube's peace and development. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. How did it become like this? "
"Shut up." Xiao Ran slammed the table hard and stared at Kajali, saying, "I didn't mean to blame you for this matter. I was also wrong in this matter. Perhaps it was a mistake to choose to return the country to you, but you were not calm enough. You acted completely without regard for the consequences. I admit your feelings for this country, but I am also angry at your incompetence. From today onwards, you will stay in the mansion of Ashar. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
"If there are any twists and turns in this country because of you, have you not thought about the consequences of Aube's downfall? I will get someone to watch over you. Stay at home and reflect for me. "
Kira looked at the aggrieved Kajali, whose eyes were filled with tears but stubbornly persisted under Xiao Ran's scolding. Then, he looked at the cold and angry Xiao Ran. He sighed slightly and shut his mouth, not participating in the anger of Xiao Ran and Kajali. Besides, what Xiao Ran said was the truth. If Aube was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, it was indeed a very serious problem. If this matter was exposed because of Kajali, then it was predictable what would happen to Aube next.
However, Lax walked up to Kajali and hugged her gently. After feeling Lax's embrace, Kajali fell to the ground and cried in Lax's arms, "I didn't know. I really didn't know. I just wanted to protect Aube. I really didn't know that things would turn out like this."
