Dilandar had a serious expression on his face. He suddenly knew that the ultimate weapon of the allied forces, Requiem, would be launched in less than 24 hours. He was very nervous. It was already remarkable that there was no sign of panic on his face. Regardless of whether Requiem attacked Aube or ZAFT, it would definitely cause huge losses to the side that was attacked. It would destroy the peace that had been stabilized with great difficulty. At the same time, the whole world would once again be shrouded in the shadow of the allied forces' reign of terror.
Of course, the latter part was actually not that important to Dilandar and Xiao Ran. The important thing was that the two of them absolutely could not let Requiem launch. No one dared to bet on the 50% chance that Requiem would not attack their country when it launched its first attack, so they could only do their best to prevent Requiem from launching at all costs.
At this time, when the other party needed help, there was no way they could refuse to help. It was a gamble with the safety of their own country. Indeed, Aube's hard power was not bad. He could fight head-on against ZAFT, and he had a high chance of winning.
However, Aube's soft power was far from enough. Unlike ZAFT, which had its own bases everywhere and the corresponding facilities, Aube simply did not have the ability to send the soldiers scattered everywhere directly into space in the shortest time possible. At this time, even the Dominion Angel could not be directly launched into space.
After hearing Xiao Ran's request, Dilandar nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem. I'll immediately arrange for the nearby troops to try to send all the members of Aube's Silver Hand into space. At the same time, I'll help to contact the major forces and ask them to provide help. I'll also think of a solution to the problem of the Dominion Angel."
"Well, we'll also cooperate on our side. Then I'll leave it to you."
After ending the communication with Dilandar, Xiao Ran turned to look at Bakirulu and said, "Send a message to Cruzet. Tell him to get ready for battle and start moving in the direction of the lunar base."
"I got it, but what about the Dominion Angel?" Bakirulu frowned and looked at the big screen in front of her. At this time, a huge map had appeared on the big screen, marking the current position of the Dominion Angel and the surrounding situation. She said to Xiao Ran, "The nearest mass accelerator to the Dominion Angel is at least ten hours at the maximum speed of the Dominion Angel on Earth. It will take even longer for Aube to transport the Archangel's large thrusters. There is no way to send the Dominion Angel to space in space in three hours."
"Ten hours …" Xiao Ran frowned. Dilandar might have other ways to help the Dominion Angel to space, but it was obvious that this would be an extremely difficult thing to do. If he had known that this would happen, Xiao Ran would have 100% modified the Dominion Angel in advance so that it would have the ability to break through space without relying on other equipment. But now, there was no use in regretting it. What he really needed to worry about was finding a way to send the Dominion Angel to space.
Ten minutes later, Mina Lund on Aube's side also learned that the joint lunar base was about to launch the Requiem and immediately began to coordinate. The coordination between Aube and Aube's coordination with other forces was to seize the time to send as many troops as possible to space. In fact, after Xiao Ran let Mina return to Aube, Mina took over all of Aube's work. Xiao Ran made himself a simple leader and threw all the time-wasting tasks to Mina, so naturally, Mina was the one who contacted the other forces, including the coordination with ZAFT.
In particular, when Mina found out that Xiao Ran was thinking of a way to send the Dominion Angel to space, she immediately contacted the Dominion Angel and had a direct conversation with Xiao Ran.
On the screen, Mina was still wearing her black suit with the same solemn expression on her face. After the communication was connected, Mina took the initiative to speak before Xiao Ran could say anything. "I already know the situation on your side. It's impossible for you to send the Dominion Angel to space in three hours, but I have a way to send the Dominion Angel to space in the shortest time possible. Although I can't guarantee that it can be done within three hours, at least it can save as much time as possible."
As soon as Mina's words came out, everyone on the bridge of the Dominion Angel turned their heads to look at the big screen. Xiao Ran also quickly asked, "What's the way?"
"The module of the Izumo class warship can be used by the Dominion Angel to help it leave the earth and go to space directly. Although Aube's equipment can't be transported in time, we can let the Izumo class warship land in space. After the module of the landed Izumo class warship is installed on the Dominion Angel, we can complete the mission of sending the Dominion Angel to space in the shortest time possible."
"I've already calculated that it will take less than an hour to land a Izumo class warship at the designated location." Speaking of this, Mina hesitated for a moment before continuing. "But in this way, without the help of specialized equipment, the manpower required to install the module on the Dominion Angel is absolutely huge. I'm afraid that we will also need the help of a lot of MS's."
When Xiao Ran heard Mina's words, he immediately agreed that Mina's method was indeed the best choice for now. Although this method will directly cause the Izumo class warship to be almost scrapped, after all, once it lands in a place nearby, and the Izumo class warship doesn't have the ability to navigate and operate in the atmosphere, the only way to wait for the warship to be decomposed and recycled is to successfully send the Dominion Angel to space in the shortest time possible. But now that time is of the essence, scrapping a Izumo class warship can successfully send the Dominion Angel to space in the shortest time possible. No matter how you look at it, it's something that must be done, so they can't care about the loss of a warship. Besides, it's just a warship, Aube can completely afford to lose it.
"Just do as you say. Get Law to rush to the Dominion Angel from Aube as soon as possible. I'll arrange the manpower problem." Xiao Ran looked at the map as he spoke. "The rendezvous point is on the sea southwest of the current location of the Dominion Angel. I'll send you the specific coordinates later."
"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately."
The screen turned black again, and Xiao Ran turned to look at Bakirulu. "Now it seems that Mina's method is the most appropriate one. Previously, the Archangel used the module of the Izumo class warship to travel to space. There's no problem in the feasibility, but the problem is that we can't confirm the specific time when the module is installed. We can't guarantee that it'll be done within three hours, but even if it takes some time, it won't take too long."
"Yeah." Bakirulu also nodded. "Now, this is the only way to enter space in the shortest time possible. However, if we want to install a module of that quality on the Dominion Angel, we won't be able to do it with our current manpower, and we'll need a certain number of MSs to carry out the task. Are you going to ask ZAFT for help?"
"There's no other way. Now, the only ones who can get here as soon as possible are the ZAFT. Contact Dilandar and ask him to coordinate and send people over as soon as possible. The specific rendezvous coordinates are up to you." Xiao Ran patted Bakirulu on the shoulder and said, "By the way, ask Dilandar to prepare a shuttle for me. I won't waste time waiting here. I'll go to space in advance to meet Cruzet and join the battle first."
"After all, the weapons carried on the Dominion Angel are only for necessary preparations. It's best not to use those two weapons unless there's no other way. Therefore, the Dominion Angel won't play much of a role in the early stages of the battle. As long as it can appear at the critical moment and give a joint fatal blow, it'll be fine. I'll leave the matters here to you. If there's any problem, contact Mina and Dilandar. Dilandar will definitely do his best to meet our needs at this time."
"I understand." Bakirulu nodded and promised, "I'll get the Dominion Angel to space in the shortest time possible."
"Mhmm." Xiao Ran smiled at Bakirulu, turned around, and left the bridge to go to Gnacou again. Now, on the Dominion Angel, there was no one else besides him who urgently needed to go to space, so Xiao Ran jumped into the cockpit of the Justice Gundam again, activated the body, and started the ejection procedure.
When the Justice Gundam flew out of the Dominion Angel, Bakirulu's head appeared on the right side of the screen. "I've already contacted President Dilandar. He'll send a nearby fleet and contact the MS forces in the surrounding countries to help. At the same time, he'll also prepare a shuttle for you to go to space. The coordinates are XXX, XXX. It's a former military base of the Eurasian Federation. They've already started the preparations, and you can leave as soon as you arrive."
As Bakirulu spoke, a map and route popped up on the top right side of the cockpit screen. Xiao Ran glanced at it and nodded. "I understand. Hurry up and get moving."
"Okay."
Looking at the location marked on the map and the approximate time calculated, Xiao Ran patted Harrow's head. "Harrow, I'll leave the control of the body to you. Get to the designated location in an hour."
"Harrow roger, Harrow roger."
After Harrow took over the control of the body, Xiao Ran adjusted the back of his chair and leaned back to rest. With his physical fitness as a participant, he didn't feel tired at all, nor did he feel that he couldn't hold on for the rest of the time. However, if he could rest, he would rest as much as possible. Maintaining his best condition at all times was a requirement that a true warrior must have. Moreover, once the battle started, it would definitely become a protracted battle with no possibility of retreat. The reserves of energy and stamina were very important.
"Harrow, Harrow, we've arrived at the designated location. Harrow, Harrow, we've arrived at the designated location."
Harrow's voice caused Xiao Ran to open his eyes. After opening his eyes, the confusion in his eyes lasted for less than a second before they became clear again. When Xiao Ran looked at the screen, the Justice Gundam had already stopped above the designated location. Less than 50 minutes had passed, which was slightly less than the one hour Xiao Ran gave Harrow.
At this time, looking at the screen, a shuttle had been prepared on the only runway in the base. Near the shuttle, there was also a transport vehicle that could transport the MS into the shuttle's container horizontally. In addition, the screen and operation panel also indicated that there was a communication request that needed to be connected.
After Xiao Ran connected the communication, he heard a young female voice in his ear. "Hello, this is the ZAFT military Dorians base. Welcome, Lord Xiao Ran. We've prepared the shuttle. Please park the MS on the transport vehicle and wait for a while. We've prepared a place for you to rest. At the same time, we'll arrange for the shuttle to depart as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran drove the Body slowly towards the transport vehicle while saying, "Sorry to trouble you. I don't need to rest. I'll just wait in the MS. Please arrange for the shuttle to depart as soon as possible."
After all, this was the ZAFT military base. Although Xiao Ran wouldn't have to worry about any malicious intentions from the base even if he walked out of the MS, it was still better to be cautious. The safest place was naturally the cockpit of the Justice Gundam. Even if someone really wanted to assassinate him and directly detonated the shuttle, as long as Xiao Ran was in the cockpit, there would be no problem.
"Yes, I understand."
After hearing Xiao Ran's reply, the young woman who contacted Xiao Ran was not surprised. After respectfully replying to Xiao Ran, she said, "The shuttle will depart in 10 minutes. Lord Xiao Ran, please get ready."
"Thank you."
Xiao Ran parked the Justice Gundam in front of the transport vehicle that had already been erected. He felt the body of the Justice Gundam being fixed, then it slowly began to fall back. After that, he was stuffed into the container of the shuttle. The whole process only took a few minutes. After that, he heard the reminder of departure in the communication, asking Xiao Ran to fasten his seat belt and so on.
A few minutes later, the shuttle successfully rose into the sky, broke free from the strong gravity of the earth, and quickly disappeared into the sky. In just a minute or two, the shuttle successfully broke through the gravity of the earth and successfully flew out of the zero point.
