It was not wrong for Xiao Ran to put himself in the position of a warrior. With the command department of Aube and ZAFT, there was no need for him to continue to stay in the command center. He was different from Dilandar. Dilandar did not have the ability to pilot an MS, so he could only sit. However, Xiao Ran was one of the top pilots in the world. Since he did not need to command, it was impossible to waste his strength. Going to the battlefield was the most suitable choice for Xiao Ran.
Dilandar nodded slightly when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He gently raised his hand and gestured outside. "I'll send you off."
"Alright, there are some things I want to talk to you about." Xiao Ran nodded and walked out of the command center with Dilandar. The two of them walked in front, with a few people following behind them. They were 'protecting' Dilandar while leaving enough space for the two of them to talk.
As the two of them walked side by side, Xiao Ran said, "It has been two years, and the situation of all sides has changed a lot. Aube, who was supposed to be the most likely to lead the world, has become a country that can only be affected due to various reasons. There is no reason for this development. Meanwhile, PLANT and the United Kingdom have made great progress in the past two years. MS has been upgraded, the army has expanded, and they have developed the ultimate weapon that can change the world. The United Kingdom's Requiem and PLANT's Messiah."
When Dilandar heard Xiao Ran say the word Messiah, his expression froze for a moment, but then he laughed naturally. "It seems that we can't hide from Lord Xiao Ran. However, even if the United Kingdom has Requiem, they will still be defeated by us today. While PLANT has Messiah, Aube has Lord Xiao Ran and the Silver Hand. We can't fight against them either."
Xiao Ran smiled faintly. "It's hard to say if that's the case. Although Aube has us, their overall strength tends to be weak. They don't have enough troops, and they don't have enough facilities. They can't withstand a long-term war, so Aube has always used the method of deciding the outcome in one battle to protect themselves."
Xiao Ran's words were telling Dilandar that Aubrey was indeed not good at long-lasting large-scale battles. However, as long as Aubrey encountered a battle, he would definitely gather his forces together and decide the outcome of the battle in one go. That would mean that Dilandar was not good enough.
"However, with the existence of Genesis, Aube's way of fighting will make people think that the existence of Messiah is against me, Aube." Xiao Ran stopped Dilandar, who wanted to deny this point, and continued, "Of course, this is just a saying. The existence of Messiah has a special strategic significance. I also understand that he is not deliberately targeting anyone. We have talked openly before, and you have also given up on the idea of continuing to carry out your Destiny Plan. In that case, I think this is a good thing for both of us. Otherwise, there will be a battle between us, and no one can escape."
Dilandar was silent. Destiny Plan was a plan that he had carefully planned for many years. However, because of the strength of Xiao Ran and Aube, and the many trump cards in Xiao Ran's hands, he had no choice but to give it up. Although he was unwilling, after listening to Xiao Ran's words, Dilandar also felt that giving up on Destiny Plan was a good thing for both of them. Although Dilandar had Messiah, he did not think that Messiah alone could stop Aube and Xiao Ran.
"However …" Before Dilandar could speak, Xiao Ran continued, "Although Aube has not made any progress in the past two years and does not have any ultimate weapons, Aube does not have them. Although I have been restricted for two years due to certain reasons, even if I have disappeared for two years, there is still a group of people around me. With these people in this world, I have the confidence to face all enemies and win."
"I don't mind telling you that I have two ultimate weapons. The first is a space weapon, which is also a black hole weapon. The second is a reaction warhead that is similar to a nuclear bomb but much more powerful and has almost no pollution. No matter which one it is, I am confident that I can destroy the combined Requiem and your Messiah. Once the space weapon is released, it will create a small black hole that will devour everything around it. Any defense or attack will be useless against the black hole. As for the large reaction warhead that is more powerful than a nuclear bomb, I don't think I need to tell you what kind of damage it can do."
Xiao Ran suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dilandar. He said in a deep voice, "My two weapons are the real weapons that exist for space wars. It is not that I can't use these weapons, but I don't want to use them. You can imagine if there is an extra black hole between the Earth and the Moon, or if the black hole directly devours a piece of the Moon, or if the entire Moon is devoured. I am not telling you this for anything, but I hope that our two sides will never fight."
"There are some things that I don't want others to know, but it does not mean that you have not done it. Regardless of what your purpose is, you have indeed brought a bad influence to Earth. But for now, the results are acceptable. LOGOS is destroyed, and the Alliance is about to be destroyed. This is the best outcome. I can probably understand that you also want the world to be truly peaceful, so I will recommend you to be the head of the new organization in the future. As for how long you can stay in that position, it is your own business. I know that you may have some doubts in your heart, but now is not the time. When the matter at hand is resolved, I will have a good talk with you. My original intention is very simple, I just want the world to be peaceful and stable. "
After listening to Xiao Ran's words, Dilandar's expression changed several times. After Xiao Ran's last sentence, the smart Dilandar roughly understood what Xiao Ran was thinking. Although the new organization would be restricted by various countries, it was actually an independent and detached military organization. It could control more military forces than ZAFT, and its status was not inferior to that of the chairman of PLANT. In fact, it was even more important because of its special status. The only thing was that the head of the new organization could never hold another position in another country, such as the chairman of PLANT.
"I see, I believe you. You said that I would be the head of the new organization? That's not a bad idea." Dilandar suddenly smiled and nodded. "But Lord Xiao Ran, aren't you more suitable for that position? With you around, I'm afraid there won't be any more wars in this world. "
Xiao Ran shook his head. "I won't sit in that position. Even after the war is over, other than continuing to serve as the prime minister of Aube, I will delegate all the real work to Mina. Unless necessary, I won't interfere with Aube's affairs."
"Even Aube." Dilandar was really puzzled now. After doing so much and sacrificing so much, how could he not covet the current power at all? Was it really as simple as peace? However, Dilandar still chose to believe Xiao Ran. After all, two years ago, when Xiao Ran completely took control of Aube, he also returned the power to Kajali. Dilandar said thoughtfully, "But there aren't many talents in PLANT now."
Xiao Ran took a step forward again and said a name softly, "Lax."
"She's a suitable candidate. Now, her reputation in PLANT is not low, and she has a lot of supporters." Speaking of this, Dilandar frowned slightly. "But based on her personality and what she has done before, isn't it more suitable to be the manager of that organization?"
"Her reputation here is enough. She doesn't need to spread it to more places." Xiao Ran didn't even look at Dilandar and said, "You're different. Even if Lax doesn't ask about what you've done, your innate position is to restrain each other. Aube's position can be swayed left and right to maintain the balance between the two of you. But if she's in that position, no one can restrain her anymore. Even if you take into consideration the interests of PLANT, with Lax around, you can't sit back and watch her power grow."
Dilandar also nodded in agreement. Lax's influence in PLANT was so great that it gave him a headache. That was why he created a fake Lax to replace the real Lax on his side. In the whole world, Lax also had a lot of supporters. Based on Lax's usual practice, if she really became the head of the new organization, she would probably have more supporters after some time. Therefore, Lax could stay in PLANT, but she absolutely couldn't leave PLANT. It was best for her to limit her influence to PLANT. If Dilandar changed his position, his power wouldn't change much, but he could really restrain Lax.
The two chatted until they reached a huge Gnacou. Along the way, everyone who saw them stopped what they were doing and saluted them. They only put down their hands when they saw the two of them walking far away.
When they reached the front of the Justice Gundam, Xiao Ran looked at Dilandar again. "That's all I have to say. When the time comes, I will have the power to push you into that position. Compared to PLANT, that position will allow you to do more and have a brighter future. You can consider whether you agree or not, but I can assure you that once you're in that position, I will do my best to support you in certain aspects. Earth can't afford more wars, so the conflicts must be shifted outwards. Once we start exploring outer space, the conflicts on Earth will also stop for the sake of more benefits. The support I can provide you is absolutely unimaginable."
Dilandar's eyes flashed twice. He looked at Xiao Ran and smiled. "Lord Xiao Ran, I'll remember your words. I don't think I have much to consider. I'm looking forward to the surprise Lord Xiao Ran will give me."
"Haha." Xiao Ran laughed sincerely. "I hope we can always stand on the same side."
After saying this, Dilandar's opinion was no longer important. No matter what, once this battle was over, Xiao Ran would leave this world. When he returned again, this world would not have the power to stop him. However, Xiao Ran did not want this to happen. He wanted to maintain the current situation of this world. Aube had Myna, and the world also needed someone with enough ability and shrewdness to stabilize the world. Xiao Ran chose Dilandar, or rather, he and Cruzet chose Dilandar together.
Xiao Ran sat in the Justice Gundam and directly drove away from the huge aircraft carrier. He began to head to the first rendezvous point not too far away from the current coordinates. All the forces of the Zaft Army's Earth orbit fleet were there, as well as the Minerva that had taken off from Earth. There, the allied forces of Aube and Zaft would fight.
Aube and Zaft had a reason to win this battle, so they could not and could not lose. Even if Xiao Ran used a large MED bomb, a weapon simplified by the Dimensional Devourer, they had to win even if it created a big crater on the moon.
Even with the speed of the Justice Gundam, it took an hour to reach the rendezvous point. By this time, the Zaft Army at the rendezvous point had already finished organizing and was waiting for the arrival of the allied forces' fleet.
Xiao Ran and Zaft had to win this first battle, but they could not directly defeat the allied forces. Instead, they had to drag it out and let the troops at the second rendezvous point win before they finished organizing. Before the main battle began, they had to weaken the presence of the allied forces, and then start attacking the allied forces' base from the side.
Of course, in Xiao Ran's opinion, this was simply superfluous. Directly obtaining victory through overwhelming means was what Xiao Ran preferred. Joining the battle from the side and cooperating with the troops at the front to attack from the side was a tactic that Xiao Ran preferred. However, such a tactic was indeed considered normal and conventional in this world's battles. Compared to the direct combat style of the participants, it was indeed a little too much.
However, after all, the pilots in this world did not have all kinds of special abilities like the participants. It was only reasonable to use such a tactic to ensure stability. Of course, if there were other opportunities during the battle, Xiao Ran would not foolishly follow the tactical plan. If he could directly destroy Requiem, Xiao Ran would not wait for the allied forces' front to collapse before attacking. If there was a chance, Xiao Ran would directly drive the Justice Gundam towards Requiem and do everything he could to completely destroy Requiem and secure the victory of the mission.
