From Tillandar's point of view, Xiao Ran was simply too demonic. She was someone who was even more uncontrollable than Kira Yamato, Lux Klein, and Aslan Sara. She was someone who was even more uncontrollable, unfathomable, and undefeatable than Aslan Sara.
Kira Yamato had the technology but no power. Lax had no power and no technology, but he had the belief that others supported him. Aslan, on the other hand, was a tool with excellent technology in the midst of confusion. However, Xiao Ran was different. He was as powerful as Kira and Aslan, had the entire Aube following him, and had countless supporters and forces all over the world. In terms of reputation, he was even more terrifying than Lax. Moreover, Xiao Ran was not at all confused. Everything he did was very purposeful, and he had never failed.
Dilandar could not suppress Xiao Ran with brute force or brains. Their statuses were similar, and he could not suppress Xiao Ran's supporters. Dilandar realized that he did not have any advantage in front of Xiao Ran. Once Xiao Ran opposed his destiny plan, the direct result would be PLANT being isolated by the world once again. Then, another war would ensue, and Dilandar could already guess the final outcome of the war.
If Xiao Ran supported him, then his destiny plan could be carried out without any hindrance. However, after Xiao Ran finished his words, Dilandar could already tell that Xiao Ran did not support his destiny plan. In fact, Dilandar had already guessed from Xiao Ran's eyes and half-smile that Xiao Ran seemed to understand his thoughts very well. Under such circumstances, Dilandar had no confidence in his next plan.
Shaking his head, Dilandar looked at Xiao Ran again and said with a smile, "If you want to talk about other opinions, I feel that the structure of Mars is conducive to the stability of this world. Under the constraints of responsibility and genes, they will only do things within their own scope. Indeed, they did not take into account what Lord Xiao Ran said about how many parents would approve of their children. They also did not take into account the issue of class. It seems that this kind of social structure is indeed a big problem. The population of Mars is not comparable to that of Earth's, and this structure has been implemented since the establishment of the Mars colony. It is considered starting from scratch, and Earth does not have such conditions. It seems that I have thought too much."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Dilandar. He did not understand what Dilandar meant. Dilandar's visit made him realize Dilandar's true purpose, which was why he said that the Mars model was not good. Xiao Ran was not worried that his words would make Dilandar more wary of him, because even without Xiao Ran's words, Dilandar had already placed Xiao Ran at the top of the list of people to be wary of. He had never let down his guard against Xiao Ran. For example, during the battle with the librarian, he did not tell anyone that he was on the Minerva.
Dilandar pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "I think that Lord Xiao Ran's proposal to jointly establish a new organization to replace the Earth Union is feasible, and this newly conquered Earth military base is definitely a very good headquarters. While the various forces on Earth are still closely cooperating, we can naturally strike while the iron is hot and establish this organization."
"Once it is established, the first step is to provide assistance to the places on Earth that are currently being attacked by war, so that humans can deepen the recognition of this organization, and thus gain the support of the public. As for the person in charge of this organization, let's not discuss how to choose in the future, but I think that the first person in charge should be Lord Xiao Ran. Only you can properly coordinate the relationships in all aspects, and with your reputation, Lord Xiao Ran, you will be able to obtain most of the support."
"You support it?" Xiao Ran was really stunned this time, and he asked in a slightly surprised tone.
Dilandar smiled slightly and said seriously, "Of course, this kind of good thing that can allow PLANT to fully integrate into Earth and ensure world peace, of course I will support it. Although it will take a long time for PLANT to fully integrate into Earth, I think that with time, PLANT will definitely be able to truly integrate into the human family."
"This matter can first be contacted by other parties, but the most important thing is to deal with the remnants of the Earth Union as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Dilandar's expression turned serious. He said to Xiao Ran, "According to the information I've received, the remnants of the United Alliance have built a new and extremely powerful weapon on the moon. It's as powerful as the Genesis that was destroyed two years ago. Once this weapon is used, I'm afraid that PLANT and Aubrey will be reduced to nothingness. To prevent such a thing from happening, I suggest that we immediately send our troops into space. We don't give the United Alliance any time to take a breather. We need to destroy the moon base in one fell swoop and completely destroy the weapon that shouldn't exist."
Xiao Ran looked at Dilandar, and his heart skipped a beat. Dilandar's actions and attitude were completely different from the Dilandar in Xiao Ran's mind. Dilandar's attitude and actions were completely different from the Dilandar that Xiao Ran had in mind. The cunning old schemer had completely disappeared, and this made Xiao Ran feel a little confused.
This was especially so when Dilandar was so generous as to tell him about the threat of Requiem. He even proposed to directly destroy Requiem instead of hiding its existence. This was completely different from the original plot. It was as if Dilandar had given up on his own Destiny project. Xiao Ran didn't quite understand what Dilandar was thinking. After all, Xiao Ran wasn't a Homo Evolutis from World 0079, so he couldn't communicate telepathically. Even though he was a Mutant, he could only sense the other party's emotions. However, Xiao Ran could feel that when Dilandar said this, he didn't hide anything, and he was completely sincere.
"Could it be that I'm too much of a threat for him to give up on his Destiny project?" Xiao Ran thought to himself as he shook his head lightly. He then nodded at Dilandar and said, "I know about that weapon. It's called Requiem, and it's the ultimate weapon created by the Alliance. Actually, even if Speaker Dilandar didn't mention it, I would have told you anyway. That kind of weapon with such terrifying destructive power cannot be left unchecked. However, since Speaker Dilandar has brought it up, then we should seize the opportunity to completely destroy the Alliance to prevent any unforeseen consequences."
Dilandar nodded. Behind him, Thalia, Aslan, and Heine, who were listening to the conversation between the two, had heavy expressions on their faces.
"Right." Dilandar suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Ran, "I have an old friend who seems to be working for you, Lord Xiao Ran. I haven't seen him for two years and I miss him very much. I wonder if you can arrange for me to meet him."
After hearing this sentence, Xiao Ran immediately understood why Dilandar changed his mind. It turned out that Dilandar had already determined that the pilot of the Gundam was Cruzet. And Cruzet could be said to be the person who understood Dilandar the most in this world. In addition to the strong pressure that Xiao Ran exerted on Dilandar, Cruzet's understanding of him, Kira, Aslan, and Lax, these three uncontrollable unstable factors, combined with various factors, finally made Dilandar give up on his Destiny project after testing him.
This was because Dilandar also knew that once the conflict between the two sides broke out, he would definitely not be a match for Xiao Ran who had many advantages. For example, the two super trump cards, Kira and Aslan, and Lax who had a great influence on PLANT, Klein, and most of the forces in the world were gathered behind him.
It was obvious that he didn't need to think about the answer. Since the answer was so obvious in front of him, Dilandar naturally didn't need to take the risk and choose a path that would lead to failure. In the original storyline, Dilandar started his Destiny project. In fact, at that time, his success rate should have been 70%. However, there were also inevitable reasons for his failure. However, at the moment when the situation changed, Dilandar did say to himself that he had indeed lost in this game. This meant that at that time, it was entirely because of the high success rate that made him choose to take that step.
Knowing that he would fail, he still insisted on doing it. Moreover, once he failed, he would have to pay the price of his life. With Dilandar's rationality and intelligence, he naturally would not choose to continue. Xiao Ran's suggestion was indeed a solution, but how to prevent this organization from repeating the same mistake and embarking on the path of union, that would require everyone to jointly protect and discuss.
"You're talking about Cruzet, right?" Xiao Ran smiled faintly and nodded gently. "Of course, no problem. I think Cruzet also has a lot to talk about with you, an old friend."
Aslan's expression did not change much when he heard the name Cruzet because he already knew that Cruzet had always been by Xiao Ran's side. However, the name Cruzet came as a huge surprise to Captain Thalia, who was Dilandar's old lover. Captain Thalia should know the relationship between Cruzet and Dilandar very well. Two years ago, Cruzet was MIA. She did not expect that he did not go missing in battle, but instead, he was by the side of the leader Aube.
Heine also had a lot of memories of the name Cruzet. He was a hero who appeared during the last war. Other than the recruits, everyone in the entire ZAFT knew this name. When he heard the name Cruzet, he also showed a slightly surprised expression.
"But Cruzet is not here right now. If President Dilandar is in a hurry to see him, I can ask him to come over immediately." With that said, Xiao Ran turned his head to Bakirulu, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Contact Heavenly Defense Pillar and ask Cruzet to come down immediately."
"I understand." Bakirulu nodded, said goodbye to the PLNAT people, and left the captain's office. After Bakirulu left, Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Contact Heavenly Defense Pillar now. It will probably take some time for Cruzet to come over directly. If there's nothing else, I'll arrange for everyone to rest first."
"No, I still have something to talk to Lord Xiao Ran." Dilandar shook his head slightly and said to Xiao Ran, "These questions have been hidden in my heart for a long time. They have nothing to do with this world. They're just some personal doubts of mine."
"Please go ahead."
Dilandar looked at Xiao Ran. At first, he didn't speak out his doubts. Instead, he sighed slightly and said slowly, "Lord Xiao Ran, although I have some guesses, I still want to know the correct answer from the lord himself. If Aslan doesn't mention it, once Zaft and Aube have a conflict, I think Aslan will definitely choose to return to Aube. I want to know if Zhen and Rei will do the same?"
Aslan revealed an astonished expression. Thalia and Heine glanced at Dilandar's back in astonishment before turning to the astonished Aslan. After seeing Aslan's expression, Thalia and Heine unconsciously frowned at the same time. Thalia and Heine frowned at the same time.
Mu, who didn't leave, also looked at Xiao Ran and Dilandar with a pitiful expression in his eyes. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, but he didn't say anything.
After hearing Dilandar's words, Xiao Ran gently knocked on the table in front of him. He didn't directly reply to Dilandar. Instead, he asked, "President Dilandar, it seems that you have some ideas about the current situation. Can I assume that you have given up on your crazy plan and have really decided to get along with Aube?"
