Of course, Aslan was a good person. Xiao Ran would be angry with anyone who said that he was not good. In any case, in Xiao Ran's opinion, there was no better person than Aslan in the SEED and SEED-D animations. Not only was he a good person, but he was also easy to fool. As for the reason, everyone naturally understood.
Xiao Ran, who had returned to Aube, did not immediately go to find Nigor and Diego, who were imprisoned. Instead, he seemed to have forgotten about them and calmly went about his business.
Xiao Ran went straight to Ashar's mansion on the day he returned to Aube's island. It had already become a fact that the secret imprisonment of Zaft's two special pilots was already an act of exceeding his authority, so when he went to Ashar's mansion, he faced the serious face of the representative.
Xiao Ran's behavior also gave Ashar a headache. After all, if this kind of thing was not handled well, it would become a diplomatic dispute. If it was serious, Zaft would even regard Aube as part of the Earth Army and start a war. Therefore, he wanted to understand why Xiao Ran was doing this and whether it was worth it.
"Because we need them. Right now, Aubrey is already on the brink of war, so we need to gather our strength to face our common enemy. We don't want to make others our enemy, but what we have will be targeted by others, so we need to protect our own strength, and we need their strength."
"This war is about to reach its climax. No matter which side gains the advantage, the next target will definitely be Aube. With Aube's current strength, he doesn't have the capital to resist no matter which side he deals with. If we deal with the Earth Army, we don't need to say anything more. Those two will also fight. In this way, we will have two more sharp combatants. If we deal with Zaft, the hostages in our hands will make Zaft hesitate to attack, and we can also buy some time."
"Now that everything has yet to begin, the piloting experience of those two is also something we urgently need. So no matter how you look at it, there are only advantages and no disadvantages to keeping these two in Aubrey. I'm confident that on the day Aubrey needs to preserve the Pyro Company, these two pilots will become the protectors of our Pyro Company.
The outside world did not know what the two of them were talking about, but after Xiao Ran came out of Aube's mansion, the entire Aube intelligence department began to operate again, activating the spies of the Earth Army's Alaska base and Zaft, and began to steal all the information that could be stolen from both sides.
In fact, Xiao Ran only slightly mentioned the news that Zaft was preparing to attack Alaska, but this news was secretly leaked to the Earth Army by Zaft's people. Ashar did not ask Xiao Ran the source of the news, which saved Xiao Ran the effort to continue to fool him.
The next day, Xiao Ran went to a factory in the Dawn Society and saw that the factory had begun to repair the Holy Shield, Storm, Thunderbolt and Assault. Especially after seeing that the only intact right arm of the Thunderbolt Gundam had disappeared, Xiao Ran's eyes also showed a look of understanding. On the same day, he quietly contacted Law to tell him to be careful and asked Law where Kira was going.
He learned from Law that Kira was indeed sent to PLANT as in the original plot, and the arrangement of fate could not be changed even with the addition of participants.
For three days in a row, Xiao Ran did not go to see Diego and Negor, as if he had forgotten about them. It was not until the fourth day that Xiao Ran appeared in front of the cell where Negor and Diego were held. Looking at the two people who were held next door, one was quiet and the other was impatient, Xiao Ran's face under the mask also showed a faint smile.
"Bastard!" Diego rushed to the iron fence and slapped it heavily as soon as he saw Xiao Ran. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "What do you mean? You locked us up for a few days and didn't ask. Didn't I already agree to your request?"
"I'm really sorry. Because I need to deal with something, I've delayed it until now. I'm here today to take you out." Xiao Ran smiled faintly, raised his hand and waved gently. Two soldiers trotted over to open the cell door of the two men and walked into the cell to remove the handcuffs from their hands.
Diego gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. After shaking his hand, he dragged his heavy footsteps out of the cell. Negor, who was in the cell next door, also walked out. He looked at Xiao Ran curiously with a obedient baby look on his face.
Diego moved his legs and made a heavy knocking sound. Looking at the finger-thick iron lock under his feet and the lock that was obviously a high-tech product, he said unhappily, "And the one on your feet."
Xiao Ran smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't take off the shackles on your feet for the time being. Of course, I also suggest that you don't take them off yourself. The lock of the shackles was custom-made by me. If you don't use the real key to unlock the lock, it will be completely locked and there will be no possibility of opening it. There is also a locator on the lock. In addition, if you walk out of the range I set, you will activate the small bomb inside. Of course, if you break it by force, you might also detonate the bomb."
With that, Xiao Ran looked at Diego with a faint smile. "Also, the whole shackles are custom-made. I've tried it for you first. The weight will definitely not affect any of your normal movements, so please don't pretend to be heavy."
Diego swallowed a mouthful of saliva and the corner of his mouth twitched. He really didn't know what to say. However, Niegor laughed in a relaxed manner. "What about our range of activities?"
"You don't have to know that. You will be followed and arranged by someone every day. I can absolutely guarantee that you won't run out of the safe range." Xiao Ran smiled and raised his hand slightly. "Aube didn't have a good look last time you came. Come with me. Today, I'll show you around the Dawn Society."
"…" Diego was about to speak when he saw Negor shaking his head at him. He suddenly woke up and quickly shut his mouth and looked at Xiao Ran with a frown.
Xiao Ran smiled and led the two of them out of the cell. Then, he led the two of them into the car. Along the way, they chatted like friends. Diego turned his head to look out of the car and didn't say anything. On the other hand, Negore and Xiao Ran were quite excited, and they would laugh from time to time.
Even after they got off the car, Xiao Ran was still so happy that he patted Nicor's back hard, causing Nicor to stagger and take two steps forward. "Young man, you're pretty good. It's not a waste that I spent so much effort to save you."
Negor stood firm and felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He smiled awkwardly and followed Xiao Ran into a factory building in front of him.
Diego walked to Negor and sighed, "I told you to stay away from him. This man is a scoundrel."
"Fortunately, at least he didn't want to do anything to us, did he?" Negor shrugged his shoulders and smiled gently at Diego. "Anyway, as you said, if we don't agree to his request, we'll be locked in that cell. Why don't we see what he wants us to do?"
When Diego and Negor followed Xiao Ran into the factory, they saw countless technicians coming and going. One transport truck after another passed through. The shouts were chaotic, and the remains of MS were everywhere. The two of them looked up and saw that the components of three airframes were suspended in the air by countless steel cables. Two of them were Storm and Thunderbolt.
Diego and Negor looked at each other in astonishment. Although they had guessed that these bodies would be recycled by Aubrey, they did not expect Aubrey to move so quickly. Not only did he have to recover them, but he also had to repair them. He even brought the two of them here. This made the two of them not quite understand what Xiao Ran was thinking.
Xiao Ran did not see the expressions of the two men. He looked at the three airframes hanging in the air and the wreckage of the Holy Shield still on the ground, and slowly said, "Although Storm and Thunderbolt have considerable combat ability in the universe, Storm is unable to fly in the atmosphere, resulting in insufficient mobility. It is easy to be attacked by the enemy after the enemy breaks through. Although Thunderbolt has a mirage system, the lack of mobility and armament is a huge problem. As the pilots of the two airframes, you should be very clear about the shortcomings of the two airframes."
"Therefore, while we are repairing the two airframes, we are also preparing to design devices to increase the mobility of the two airframes. We can temporarily allow the airframes to glide on the ground to increase their movement speed on the ground, and we will add equipment to the two airframes to further increase their attack power and attack diversity."
"The Storm Gundam will partially add external armor, which is equivalent to a special weapon backpack. Two compound small beam rifles have been added. Referring to the Thunderbolt Gundam's attack shield system, the beam sword has been integrated into the small beam rifle. At the same time, it has also greatly increased its attack power, and it also has the ability to engage in close combat."
"To the Thunderbolt Gundam, we have specially designed the flight backpack used by the Thunderbolt Gundam. For this reason, we have improved the original thrusters of the airframe. We have added thrusters and jet ports to many parts of the airframe, allowing the original main thrusters to be modified to obtain even more powerful propulsion than before. There are also two beam cannons attached to the flight backpack, allowing the airframe to obtain the ability to fly and also greatly enhance its long-range attack ability. As for the original claw on the left arm, it has also been replaced with an attack shield system."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Nigor and Diego. He slowly said, "This is the repair and improvement plan that I discussed with the staff of the Dawn Society. I wonder what you two think."
Diego curled his lips, as if he knew that Xiao Ran really wouldn't hurt the two of them. He didn't care as much as before. "What can we think? Anyway, the airframe is already in your hands. How to modify it is your business. It has nothing to do with us."
"Looks like you still haven't remembered what I said." Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and looked at Diego. "I said that these two airframes will be piloted by you. As the pilots of the two airframes, your opinions will also be an important reference factor for repairing and modifying the airframe."
"Are you serious?" Diego opened his mouth wide.
