After Xiao Ran and the others left, Kreutzer and Dilandar stayed in the captain's room for more than two hours. The others didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but when they came out of the captain's room, Kreutzer's habitual smile didn't change. On the other hand, Dilandar seemed to be a lot more taciturn.
The two came out of the captain's room and did not bother anyone else. Instead, Cruzet, who was familiar with the ship, directly brought Dilandar to the bridge to meet Xiao Ran again. At this time, Captain Thalia had already left with Heine. Aslan had already taken off his red military uniform representing ZAFT and put on the colonel uniform representing Aube.
Dilandar noticed the change in Aslan's expression when he entered the captain's room, but he didn't show any strange reaction. Instead, it was Aslan who walked up to Dilandar apologetically. He saluted Dilandar and said sorry. Dilandar nodded his head and looked at Dilandar.
"I'm sorry, Speaker Dilandar. I've known about Zhen and Rem for a long time, but I hid the truth for them. I'm also very sorry for leaving ZAFT and returning to Aube."
"It's okay." Dilandar smiled at Aslan. He gently shook his head and said, "When you joined FAITH, I told you that you only need to follow your own beliefs and ideas. In addition to loyalty, FAITH itself also represents belief. You did nothing wrong."
Aslan heard Dilandar's words and smiled apologetically, "Thank you, Speaker Dilandar."
Because of Xiao Ran's situation, Dilandar did not have the time to do anything to Aslan for the time being, so the relationship between the two was not affected too much. Especially now that Aslan had hidden the truth for Zhen and Rem, and Dilandar has not started his real plan, Aslan did feel a little apologetic to Dilandar for trusting him and letting him return to ZAFT.
Xiao Ran also came over at this time. He looked at Cruzet and Dilandar and said with a smile, "It seems that you two had a good chat."
Cruzet smiled faintly and did not say anything. Aslan took two steps back and stood behind Xiao Ran. Dilandar said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you for so long. I'll contact the other forces later and pass on Lord Xiao Ran's idea to them. I'll do my best to facilitate this matter. Also, I have to prepare for the universe, so I'll take my leave."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Speaker Dilandar. I'll deal with it as soon as possible and finish the preparations as soon as possible." Xiao Ran shook hands with Dilandar, then turned to Aslan and said, "Aslan, please send Speaker Dilandar back to the Minerva safely."
"Yes." Aslan nodded and gestured to Speaker Dilandar, "Speaker Dilandar, please come with me."
After Aslan and Dilandar left the bridge, Xiao Ran looked at Cruzet again and asked, "What did you two talk about? Why did you stay in there for so long?"
Kreutzer spread his hands and said, "I didn't say much. I just discussed the current situation of the world and helped him perfect his original plan. But it's a pity that he decided to give up in the end when he had the chance to fulfill his dream."
Xiao Ran looked at Cruzet's indifferent expression and shook his head with a smile, "Oh you, I'm afraid you scared him."
Cruzet and Dilandar did talk about Project Fate and the issue of Eunius 7. Cruzet even told Dilandar that he was aware of Eunius 7's situation, but neither Xiao Ran nor Cruzet had any intention of pursuing the matter. Of course, that was on the premise that Dilandar had no intention of making an enemy out of Aube.
Indeed, Kreutzer had perfected Dilandar's plan, including the assassination of Xiao Ran and so on. However, the more Kreutzer did so, the more uncertain Dilandar felt. Furthermore, Dilandar was already prepared to give up on carrying out Operation Fate. Hence, the two of them decided to discuss it at the very beginning and came up with a new plan that would allow Operation Fate to succeed. Dilandar even bluntly told Kreutzer that if he could go back in time, he would definitely carry out the plan. However, it was a pity that the situation had developed to such an extent that it was useless to have any more plans.
Moreover, when Dilandar was conversing with Kreutzer, he could feel that Kreutzer's grasp of the human heart was even more terrifying. Kreutzer had completely placed himself in the position of Xiao Ran's subordinate, his attitude of following Xiao Ran with all his heart. This made Dilandar feel a myriad of emotions in his heart. Not to mention before, after understanding Kreutzer's thoughts, Dilandar did not intend to continue with the plan of destiny.
"If he was so easily scared, he wouldn't be qualified to take this step today." Cruzet smirked, "I did tell him not to make an enemy out of Aube, but you proposed to establish a new organization to replace the alliance. Does that mean you're not interested in the rest of the world?"
"It's not that I'm not interested at all, but the human consciousness in this world is too strong. It's enough to maintain the current situation and ensure peace and stability. There's no need to do unnecessary things and portray ourselves as invaders." Xiao Ran slowly walked to the side of the bridge and looked at the nearby Minerva through the transparent glass. He also ensured that no one in the bridge could hear their conversation. "If you're interested in other things, you can just obtain them through trade. After all, other things in this world don't mean much to us except for people."
Cruzet also walked to Xiao Ran's side and said, "Although it's not that difficult to carry out an invasion, with the strength of the fleet and the alliance, we can at least flatten them. The most technologically advanced organizations in this world, Dawn Society, D.S.S.D, and the Trash Chamber of Commerce, are all in our hands. PLANT has adopted a cooperative attitude and will take over the remaining research organizations. There's really no need for other things. But this way, have you thought about who you want to be the head of the organization? Don't tell me you're going to do it yourself."
Xiao Ran rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "Of course it's impossible for me, but there aren't many people who have connections with all parties, who have the ability and background to hold the fort, and who can really receive support. At least, we can't use the people from the original alliance. Let's not talk about whether the East Asia Federation is willing or not, but it's not suitable for them to be the first head. It seems that the first head can only be Aube and someone from PLANT. Lax? Isn't that girl a little too young? Even though she's very popular in PLANT, if we were to compare it to the rest of the world, her popularity would be much lower. "
"If that's the case, I have a suitable candidate to recommend." Cruzet turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran with a faint smile. His expression immediately made Xiao Ran react. "You mean Dilandar?"
"Yeah." Cruzet nodded slightly and said, "Although Dilandar has given up on his plan, we can't guarantee that we can stay here at all times. We can suppress him when we're here, but what if we leave one day? A critical change in a war may only take a moment, but once we leave, we'll be gone for at least a month. Who can guarantee that he won't come up with other ideas after figuring out our pattern? It's not suitable for him to continue staying in PLANT. We can't control what kind of research he does behind the scenes, but if he resigns from his position as the chairman of PLANT and becomes the head of the new organization, we can at least monitor his every move."
Xiao Ran glanced at Cruzet, smiled, and nodded gently. "Then let Lax take over PLANT. With Lax's personality and thoughts, PLANT will truly become a peaceful country with her around."
Cruzet also smiled. The two of them actually talked about the future of PLANT, deciding the future of Dilandar and Lax. When the two of them talked about this, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, it was very natural and very simple.
Xiao Ran had no ambition for this world. With the fleet, he would have a large territory of the universe. With the unified army, he would have the entire world 0079. Basically, the important things in this world had fallen into the hands of Xiao Ran. Aube, Dawn Society, D.S.S.D, the Waste Merchant Guild, and other things were actually no longer attractive to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran only wanted to ensure that this world could go on peacefully. Everything else didn't matter anymore.
Once the decision was made, Xiao Ran's order caused Aube to become extremely decisive and swift. In the entire joint army base, Xiao Ran directly disbanded Aube's troops and the Silver Hand after getting the research materials and some technical personnel of the base. He started to wrap up the LOGOS on Earth and completely gave up the base.
On the other hand, under Dilandar's order, ZAFT did not show any intention of occupying the base. Like Xiao Ran, they let people receive the research materials and even took the initiative to withdraw from the base without dividing the technical personnel. Under Dilandar's contact, all the countries around the world also received information about the new organization and proposed that the headquarters of the new organization, which originally belonged to the joint army, should be used as the headquarters of the new organization.
The actions of Aube and ZAFT on both sides also made it clear to the other forces that this matter had been confirmed by both sides. This also received enthusiastic responses from around the world. Everywhere, people were talking about this new organization that was about to replace the joint army.
After Aube and ZAFT withdrew, the rest of the work in the base was completely taken over by the joint forces. As for the space matters, except for the East Asia Federation, other forces, large and small, did not have such conditions at all. A space fleet was a huge barrier in front of these large and small forces.
So while Aube's troops and ZAFT's troops spread out to clean up the mess, both sides also began to make preparations to transport troops into space. ZAFT's garrison near PLANT had also begun to approach the moon. Under Xiao Ran's suggestion, they even began to search and clean up the various nodes of Requiem scattered in space in advance.
During this process, the first side mission finally received a notification that it had been completed. Sure enough, it was Prometheus' usual style. As long as they complied with the mission, Prometheus would give them a chance to survive. Even the clones that belonged to Xiao Ran were no exception. After using the original enhanced humans of the joint army to 'Collapse Enhancement', and using the healing pod to treat them, it was an alternative solution to eliminate the existence of the Collapse Enhancement.
The 50,000 battle achievement points and 10 attribute points were now in his account. As a random reward, he also received a skill and a component. After all, he was the one who single-handedly created the advancement and follow-up of the Library Officer's' Collapse Enhancement ', so it was reasonable for him to receive such a reward. The skill was an A-Rank skill, and an A-Rank skill alone was worth a lot of money. This was also the third A-Rank skill that Xiao Ran had obtained. The first two A-Rank skills had become the most inseparable keys to his growth. What would the third A-Rank skill bring him?
[Instant Burst: A-Rank skill. Cannot be levelled up. Consumes MP to increase the overall performance of the body. Increases the percentage value of the body's performance according to the skill's mastery. Consumes 3 MP per use.]
When Xiao Ran obtained this skill, he did not think that this skill was qualified to have an A-Rank evaluation at all. Except for a clear MP consumption, the rest of the description was quite vague. But since it could be evaluated as an A-Rank skill, Xiao Ran did not believe that this skill was as simple as the description. Perhaps it was because he was not qualified enough to understand the true ability of this skill.
As for this component, it was only a B- grade backpack component, the luminous wheel thruster. Logically speaking, a real luminous wheel thruster couldn't possibly be a B- grade component no matter what. However, this component really lived up to its name. It was just the main body of the thruster without any external equipment. It looked similar to the external equipment of the Stargazer thruster without a ring, but it was obviously more complete. However, the specific situation would only be known after a test.
However, for the second side mission, due to the difference in status and resources available to the participants in this world, the missions they received were also different. For example, Xiao Ran's mission was to provide a colonial satellite for the Imprint army and deliver the satellite to the Mars colony. The reward was 100,000 points and an unknown technical blueprint. Compared to the work required in the middle of this mission, this reward was just right.
