"And these members of the Alliance who are related to LOGOS have great power in the Alliance. These people have the power to make the entire Alliance do anything that is beneficial to LOGOS. The most typical behavior is to start a war to gain their benefits, but these benefits are all exchanged with the lives of the Alliance's soldiers, the lives of the Zaft soldiers, and the lives of innocent civilians in the world."
"Today, I am here on behalf of Aube. I have decided to officially declare war on LOGOS like Speaker Dilandar. I have said that anyone who dares to start a war will be the enemy of Aube. I will attack them at all costs. Today, I will repeat this sentence again. LOGOS, as the world's largest death merchant organization, has become the main factor driving the continuation of the war. From now on, Aube will fight LOGOS until they are completely eliminated."
"Finally, I want to explain to everyone that although LOGOS controls the Alliance, the Alliance is not equal to LOGOS. I am here to tell everyone clearly that Aube's target is only the death merchant LOGOS, not the soldiers who have been deceived into becoming tools. If you don't want to continue to be kept in the dark, continue to work for LOGOS and become their tool to gain benefits, and don't want to be an executioner who is spurned by the world, whether you are a soldier of the Alliance, an official, or a person who is unwilling to be a pawn in the hands of LOGOS, I hope that you can see the real source of evil in the world, stand up and stand on our side."
"The soldiers who have left the Alliance are not traitors. You are just heroes who have made the right choice. The peace of the world can't only rely on one person, one force. This is something that all of us must act on. I also hereby announce that from now on, those who do not leave the Alliance within three months, Aube will regard you as an accomplice of LOGOS and destroy you at all costs. And those who leave the Alliance within the specified time, Aube will be your strongest shield and most trustworthy comrade, protecting you until the end of this war against LOGOS."
"Let us fight together for the same purpose, for the same home, and for the eternal peace after this war."
When Xiao Ran finished his last sentence, although there was a faint smile on Dilandar's face, his pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect Xiao Ran to blatantly persuade the soldiers of the Alliance to leave the Alliance under such circumstances. But what really surprised him was that Xiao Ran directly said that Aube was willing to accept the giants who left the Alliance.
In comparison, although ZAFT's overall strength was greater than Aube's, in the eyes of the world's civilians, ZAFT could never be compared to Aube. To be precise, Dilandar's charisma and trustworthiness were far from Xiao Ran's level.
Especially now that ZAFT and the Alliance were in a hostile situation, Aube, a neutral country, and Xiao Ran, a hero who stopped the last war, stood up. Of course, Aube and Xiao Ran were more trustworthy. After all, Aube represented neutrality and peace in this world, which was an advantage that PLANT could not match.
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, those soldiers who wanted to leave the alliance after finding out the truth would never think of ZAFT as their first choice. Instead, they would think of Aubrey, who had a better reputation. This made Dilandal's heart skip a beat, and the smile on his face stiffened.
After Xiao Ran put down the microphone, he bowed slightly to the crowd. This scene was also broadcasted to the world. Xiao Ran's gesture meant that he had finished speaking, and it made people who saw this scene feel the meaning of Xiao Ran's request. It was a request for everyone to work together to restore peace to the world.
After the end of the press conference, the whole world fell into a frenzy. Because of Dilandar and Xiao Ran's words, they blamed LOGOS for all the misfortunes that happened in the world. The huge public anger suddenly led to riots in the areas controlled by the Alliance. People who were named by Dilandar were arrested by angry people from various places, and the Alliance's military system was also in chaos.
Battleships, planes, and MS began to leave the Alliance. Many soldiers in the Alliance's military bases rioted after learning the truth. The cities, barracks, and ports were full of people who were filled with anger. These people who knew the truth thought that the Alliance had deceived them. The death of their loved ones and the war that they risked their lives for were all caused by some people in the Alliance. This kind of grief seemed to have found the right channel to vent, and all the anger began to pour towards the Alliance and LOGOS. This kind of comprehensive chaos lasted for more than a week.
But this one week was just the prelude to the chaos. Countless people who had been identified by the formula were caught by the angry people and the Alliance soldiers who tore their military uniforms apart. They were punished without trial. Although the situation seemed to have stabilized after a week, in fact, the Alliance would encounter even more trouble. One region after another announced that they would leave the Alliance, leave the World Security Alliance, and join the arms of PLANT and Aubrey. The first to stand out, the East Asian Federation, directly dealt a huge blow to the Alliance.
On the day of the press conference, Xiao Ran boarded the Angel and began to return to Aube. The three fleets that Xiao Ran promised also set off from Aube on the same day, but their destination was not Gibraltar. Instead, they went to the western region of the Ouyang Federation, which had suffered the most damage in the war. They went to the frontline to participate in the battle against LOGOS.
That was the place that suffered the most damage from the Alliance. Now, it was also the place where the anti-LOGO and anti-Union voices were the loudest. Going there could effectively control the Alliance's actions and provide great support to the rebels there. Of course, the most important thing was that ZAFT and Aube's Army could use the situation here to directly attack the already chaotic Alliance and penetrate deep into the hinterland.
Although it was definitely the best time to attack the Alliance when LOGOS was announced, with Dilandal's intelligence, how could he not know that it was the most inappropriate time to attack the Alliance?
If he really started the war at that time, it would inevitably lead to a lot of doubts and doubts in the Alliance. Some of the soldiers who wanted to defect would be sacrificed. This would inevitably lead to more hatred, and it would strengthen the determination of those soldiers who wanted to leave to continue fighting against ZAFT. Moreover, the ambitious people on the Alliance's side would take the opportunity to stand up and take the initiative to overthrow LOGOS. Although the Alliance was likely to have a truce with ZAFT, at that time, Dilandal's goal of completely disintegrating the Alliance and executing Plan Fate would not be achieved.
Therefore, Dilandal was waiting, waiting for the Alliance to disintegrate by itself. He did not exert any external forces to let the Alliance disintegrate because of LOGOS's conflict. Under such a conflict, LOGOS, who obviously had the advantage, would inevitably drive away many ambitious people who were unwilling to continue to wallow in the mire with them. Since Aube and ZAFT were the only way out, those people would not choose to stay in the Alliance because of external pressure.
In any case, the alliance would definitely fall apart if they didn't mobilize their troops. If they mobilized their troops, it would only force them to reunite. Under such circumstances, it was naturally the best choice for them to sit back and reap the benefits. There was no need for them to do anything, and the alliance's forces would rapidly shrink while ZAFT and Aubry's forces would rapidly increase. Of course, Dilandar knew what to choose. It was obvious that Xiao Ran was stalling for time, waiting for the people who left the alliance to join Aubry.
But when it came to Xiao Ran, Dilandal felt a headache. Even if Xiao Ran had left ZAFT's sphere of influence and returned to Aube, it was still the same. Xiao Ran's last words at the press conference were indeed much more useful than Dilandal's. Just based on the information Dilandal received, from the beginning of the Alliance's chaos to more than a week later, the Alliance's forces that left the Alliance to join Aube, including the warships, MSs, supplies, ammunition and other miscellaneous things, were more than three times the number of people who joined Zaft. Now, with Aube's military port as the center, the entire coastline was full of ships that left Aube and joined the Alliance, increasing Aube's combat power by a lot. These things originally belonged to ZAFT.
More importantly, Dilandal could not show any dissatisfaction at all. After all, this was the choice of those who left the Alliance. It was not the spoils of war that were harvested by both sides. It was not until this moment that Dilandal realized that Xiao Ran's 3: 1 spoils of war proposal was actually waiting for him here.
Aube's strength posed a great threat to his future plans. This was something he could not accept no matter what. The stronger Aube was, the greater the threat to him. He could already imagine the scene of Xiao Ran standing up against him with Aube and a series of opposing forces when he announced the implementation of Operation Fate. He could not help but frown deeply.
When Dilandal looked at the document on the table in front of him, his brows suddenly relaxed. A faint smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have an idea in his mind.
