Xiao Ran, who had returned to Aube, had no idea what Dilandar was planning. Before he returned to Aube, many soldiers who had escaped from the alliance had already arrived in Aube. Since it was impossible to tell how many intelligence agents were among them, Mina immediately made arrangements to receive these soldiers.
At the same time, she also told these soldiers that if they were willing to stay and fight for Aube, they would be officially incorporated into the Aube Army. If they were tired of fighting, Aube would give them a normal identity and allow them to live in Aube permanently or temporarily.
Some of the soldiers chose to join the Aube Army, but there were also some who chose to leave the alliance because they did not want to continue fighting. Some of these people were very willing to join the Aube Army, but some only wanted to stay in Aube temporarily and return to their hometowns after the war ended.
But no matter what the soldiers chose, it was an undeniable fact that the things they brought with them greatly increased Aubrey's strength. That was why Mina rationally gave the soldiers enough rewards. The rewards were mostly monetary, and the quantity was enough to allow the soldiers to live a carefree life for a long time. At the very least, it was more than what they would normally receive after retiring from the army.
It should be noted that the actual cost of a battleship and an MS was not cheap. Just the number of MS's that the soldiers of the alliance had brought along was already quite a large number, not to mention the number of battleships. For Aubrey, Mina had chosen to compensate the soldiers with money, which was a very good deal for him. Mina also remembered what Xiao Ran had said, to disregard the cost and consequences of the development strategy, and to use so much money in exchange for so much combat power and time, it was completely in line with the development requirements set by Xiao Ran.
Although Mina didn't understand why Xiao Ran would choose to develop his military power regardless of the cost, even if it meant plunging Aubrey into debt and deficit, she still chose to stand on the same side as Xiao Ran. She knew that Xiao Ran wasn't a reckless idiot, and there must be a reason she couldn't understand why he would do this.
Mina believed in Xiao Ran, but the other girl who was grounded basically threw a tantrum in her room every day. Kajali knew Aube's situation very well. Although he was not involved in the real work and had all his rights stripped away, this did not stop Kajali from learning about Aube's current situation through certain channels.
This was especially so when she saw Xiao Ran and Dilandar's declaration on the news. She was so angry that she could not even eat. On the day Xiao Ran returned to Aube, she rushed out of the mansion. Unfortunately, the people taking care of Kajali and guarding Kajali were all people arranged by Xiao Ran. As soon as Kajali rushed out of the mansion, she was stopped by a group of men in black and brought back to the house.
These people who watched Kajali every day, the more they understood Kajali, the more certain they were that Kajali was not suitable to be the leader of a country. At the same time, they also compared Kajali with Xiao Ran. Naturally, the result of the comparison was that Kajali was completely defeated. Incompetent, impulsive, stubborn, bad-tempered, not calm enough, unable to see the situation clearly and so on, these people guarding Kajali became more and more dissatisfied with her. Although they still maintained the necessary respect on the surface, in their hearts, they really did not treat Kajali as an important person of the country.
And this side of Kajali gradually spread, and more and more people became familiar with it. During the few days when Xiao Ran was not in Aube, Mina also knew about this, but she did not do anything to control these rumors. Instead, she tacitly allowed these unfavorable rumors about Kajali to continue spreading.
And after Xiao Ran returned to Aube, he had no time to care about Kajali, because after the end of the press conference, his second main mission was finally triggered. The main mission of all the participants in Aube's camp was also triggered at that moment.
"Main Mission 2: Disintegrate LOGOS and eliminate the remaining forces of LOGOS. Mission completion rate is 60%."
This was an individual mission completion rate. As long as one put in more effort to deal with LOGOS, the completion rate would naturally increase faster. Perhaps only a few people could destroy a LOGOS base to directly complete the second main mission. But if there were too many participants attacking a base at the same time, then on average, the completion rate increased by each person would naturally decrease.
If each participant could increase their completion rate to 60%, then it would mean that the LOGOS organization was almost divided and disintegrated. Therefore, from the description of the mission, as long as the completion rate was 60%, it was not a mistake.
This mission also gave Xiao Ran a reason to personally participate in the operation against LOGOS. Of course, he could also let Cruzet, Law, or Mary complete this mission for him, but Cruzet was in Heavenly Pillar, Law was in Dawn Codex, and Mary was not able to operate the MS in battle, so he could only participate in the mission himself. He had to lead the three fleets that had already arrived in advance to deal with LOGOS, and personally pilot the Justice Gundam during the battle to increase his completion rate.
Xiao Ran, of course, would not only aim for a completion rate of 60%. A completion rate of 60% would at most give him a D-rank or C-rank evaluation. Xiao Ran's goal was to get a higher evaluation because only then could he get better rewards.
As for the Librarians, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos between the alliance to go to space to eliminate the Librarians. Moreover, both Dilandal and Xiao Ran were waiting for the moment when the alliance completely disintegrated and the remaining forces gave up on Earth and went to the moon base. Therefore, they had the time and opportunity to eliminate the threat of the Librarians now.
This was an excellent opportunity. If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait until the threat of Dilandal was completely eliminated. They would have to wait until the final battle before they could gather forces to deal with the Librarians. Originally, Xiao Ran planned to wait until Kira, Aslan, Zhen, and Rei arrived at Aube and obtained a new body. Then, he would use a decisive and powerful force to eliminate the Librarians in one fell swoop. This would also ensure that the information of the Librarians would not fall into Dilandal's hands, but now, Xiao Ran's thoughts had changed.
Because he remembered that in the battle two years ago in this world, the Librarians had also mixed in with the alliance and fought against them. If the same situation happened again, and the Librarians were mixed in with the alliance, it would be more difficult to deal with LOGOS.
With the resources controlled by LOGOS, they could definitely use the technology of the Librarians on a large scale to rapidly increase their military strength. Similarly, the Librarians could also use the power of LOGOS to gain more development. If the two organizations did not get along, it would be fine, but if they cooperated, it would be an explosive development on both sides. It was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Currently, Aube and PLANT were in the honeymoon phase of cooperation. In addition, three of the five pilots on the Minerva were his own people, so it should not be a problem to ensure that ZAFT would not be able to obtain the power of the Librarians. The only thing they lacked was Aslan's body. After all, Aslan was only piloting the Flaming Tiger in ZAFT. He could not fully display the full strength of Aslan, so he could not really achieve the effect that he should have. It was indeed a little sad that the strongest fighter could not pilot a body that was compatible with his strength. At the same time, it reminded Xiao Ran that even if he had his own personal landline, it was best to prepare one or two backup bodies when carrying out missions.
It was obviously too late to ask Law to hurry and make one earlier. It would take a long time to make a new body suitable for Aslan's use. Although four bodies were made in a month and handed over to Smith, Emilian, and the other three, in reality, it took 20 days to make one more body. Therefore, making one more body would only take a few more days. If it was mass produced, the time it took to make one body was actually no different from the time it took to make ten bodies.
However, even though there was not enough time to make a new body, the first batch of the Dawn Society's new mass production machine, which was the variable form mass production machine that used thermonuclear energy, had not been released yet. Using the existing parts to make a suitable backpack, Law could do it in a day or two with the equipment of a beginner mechanic.
Therefore, after deciding to attack the Librarians, Xiao Ran directly contacted Tillandar and told him that he had found the base of the Librarians and needed the cooperation of the Minerva and ZAFT's space front army. Tillandar also did not put the threat of the Librarians aside. He had the same idea as Xiao Ran. The Librarians must not be associated with LOGOS. This time, even if they could not obtain the information in the Librarians' space base, they could not let Aube obtain the information. Therefore, he immediately agreed to let Xiao Ran send troops to attack the Librarians' space base. He also sent out two space fleets to send the Minerva to space immediately. At the same time, Aube's space fleet, which was guarding the Pillar of Heaven's Defense, would also participate in this operation.
