New Japan was also known as the Japan Special Economic Zone. Even after the establishment of the Federation, it was still called by this name. Xiao Ran's appointment was related to this place. Once again, he had returned to this place that was similar to another continent, a place that was slightly independent.
The original military headquarters and the Federation's arrangement for Xiao Ran was very conservative. After all, Xiao Ran had not appeared for four years. Even if they wanted to use him, they couldn't directly give him a high-ranking position. Most people preferred to keep Xiao Ran in the military headquarters or find an unimportant place to send him away.
However, the order from the highest level of the Federation made it impossible for the military headquarters to carry out their plan. After a while, with someone pulling the strings in the middle, Xiao Ran came to the place he had once controlled, Japan.
There were four regular military bases in this place. At the same time, there was no war, no rebels, and there were not many things. The conditions were quite good in all aspects, and it was considered to be far away from the real continent. With its unique conditions, it was indeed a very good place for Xiao Ran. The reason why Xiao Ran was sent here was that Livonz had returned to Earth.
The three-day trip had given Livonz a great shock. Livonz knew that even if he gathered all the forces of the Federation, he would not be able to resist. The two sides were not on the same level at all. Since he could not resist, the only choice he had was to obey and gain more advantages in the upcoming changes. As for the rest, he would have to take it one step at a time.
When Xiao Ran stepped off the plane, the military commander of New Japan personally led a large group of people to greet him. This was the place where Xiao Ran had stayed for a period of time. When he stepped off the plane, everything around him seemed to be the same as before. The military commander who came to greet him was an old acquaintance of Xiao Ran. It was Colonel Jett, no, it was Brigadier General Jett now.
Brigadier General Jett was not dissatisfied with Xiao Ran suddenly appearing out of nowhere and becoming his boss again. After being the military commander here for four years, he had gained too much. Besides, his position was also arranged by Xiao Ran, so Jett was not dissatisfied with the reappearance of his old boss at all.
After all, in this regard, Brigadier General Jett really regarded himself as one of Xiao Ran's people, even if Xiao Ran had not appeared for four years. Back then, Jett had cleaned up a lot of loose ends for Xiao Ran. The relationship between the two could not be separated at all. The relationships that Xiao Ran left behind in A-Laws, such as Kati Manikin, Sergei, and others, were also one of the key reasons why he could stay in Japan so freely.
The original military headquarters was ready to transfer Jett to another place after Xiao Ran's appointment was issued. However, after referring to the current world situation, and perhaps some of the current relationships in Japan, Jett declined the arrangement of the military headquarters and volunteered to stay as Xiao Ran's deputy. The military headquarters thought that Jett had been labeled as part of Xiao Ran's faction anyway, so they simply left Jett here with no further arrangements.
There was no need to transfer to the military headquarters that had no power at all, nor was he willing to go to chaotic places like Africa and the Middle East. Compared to that, Jett was certainly more willing to stay in Japan. The military headquarters also understood that Xiao Ran, who was the most popular person in the military when the Federation was established, still had a strong foundation and many followers even after four years of absence.
The welcoming of Xiao Ran's arrival was very grand. Not only was the military region welcoming him in the morning, but the commanders of the four bases were also present. The reception in the evening was even more lively. All the top people in the New Japan Special Economic Zone were present. Whether it was the political or business circles, countless people expressed a warm welcome to Xiao Ran's arrival. Although Xiao Ran felt that all kinds of gifts were useless, it did not prevent him from getting tired of receiving them.
Xiao Ran's arrival in Japan did not cause too much of a stir, and it would not have much of an impact on the world situation. The whole world seemed to be as peaceful as before, but under this calm surface, an action against the chaos in the Middle East and the Federation's rebel army, KATARON, had begun.
KATARON was an anti- Federation organization that was completely opposed to A-LAWS. Most of the organization's members were politicians, scientists, workers, and soldiers from the top three countries. Even in the current Federation, there was no lack of KATARON supporters. At the same time, many small organizations and forces that were powerless against the Federation had gradually integrated into it. It could be regarded as the most powerful anti- Federation organization at present.
Under the arrangement of Livonz and the leadership of A-LAWS, A-LAWS led some troops of the Federation to begin an unhindered and stressful sweep in the chaotic areas of the Middle East and Africa under the pretext of maintaining law and order. During the sweep, many members of the rebel organizations were sacrificed, but at the same time, civilians who were labeled as rebels were also sacrificed. All of a sudden, Africa and the Middle East fell into chaos. The situation of the whole world became tense because of this sweep, and it seemed that a bigger war could break out at any time.
On the other hand, A-LAWS 'operation forces were also arresting rebels all over the world, including the universe. In the process, many civilians were implicated. Whether they were real civilians or not, they were all arrested and used as space miners without any human rights.
The operation reports that involved tens of thousands of people were placed on Xiao Ran's desk in detail. Sitting opposite Xiao Ran was Livonz with his legs crossed and his hands folded on his lap. After reading the reports, Xiao Ran's face remained calm. He didn't show any emotion because of the number of casualties.
Seeing Xiao Ran's calm expression, Livonz smiled faintly and said, "My Lord, I wonder if you are satisfied with the plan up to this point? Carrying out this kind of operation has put me under a lot of pressure even within the Federation. However, I didn't expect the two Misters Cruzet and El Erf to be able to arrange the plan to such an extent. It's really cruel to sacrifice so many innocent people."
"I'm still far from being as ruthless as you." Xiao Ran lightly tapped the documents on his desk and said, "This is only the beginning. We don't have much time left, and there are more things to do."
Livonz shrugged and smiled, "I understand. The location of Kataron's members and civilians has been leaked. I've also arranged for people to infiltrate Kataron. Now, we can confirm the time of the operation. At the same time, I've also revealed the time to A-Laws and made preparations inside the prison."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Leak the information to the Celestials. Because of the Celestials' appearance, A-Laws' importance has been reignited. The previous failure has allowed A-Laws to gain more strength. What we need to do now is to strengthen A-Laws again as soon as possible."
"The previous failure can be said to be due to the lack of preparation. Now, A-Laws must experience a failure after preparation. If you want to destroy people, you must first drive them crazy. This failure will be the fuse that will drive A-Laws and some people crazy. All the videos of the battle and the massacre must be saved. Although we don't have to spread them widely, it will help us gain more allies."
"Understood." Livonz smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave. I'll do my best to cooperate with you, sir. By the way, will you personally participate in this battle?"
Xiao Ran nodded, "In order to let them feel the gap between us and increase A-Laws' strength, I will personally participate in this battle and make contact with the Celestials."
"Alright, I understand." Livonz turned around and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned to Xiao Ran and said, "By the way, I'm afraid there's something you don't know. Although Goodman is in command of A-Laws, there's actually someone behind him who checks and balances his power. That's why he has been tolerating Brigadier General Kati Manikin and his accomplices. By the way, A-Laws' operational orders are issued by this person. Do you know this person?"
Xiao Ran pondered, "Commander Pitong? Is he the real mastermind behind A-Laws? "
The corners of Livontz's mouth curled up. "It seems that you already know. But if we treat Commander Pietong as an enemy, I wonder what Billy Pietong, the chief technical officer of Heavenly Gods, will think of us?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own plans." Xiao Ran glanced at Livonz and said, "Now you just need to do what you have to do. Arrange for the Frontier to smoothly enter the port. I'll give you orders if there's anything else."
Livonz bowed slightly to Xiao Ran and left Xiao Ran's office with a smile, "Yes, sir."
After Livonz opened the door and left, Graham came in wearing the Federation's uniform. It was not the green uniform of A-Laws, but the local uniform of the Federation. As soon as the door closed, Graham walked towards Xiao Ran and said, "Sir, is this person reliable?"
Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "It's hard to guess what he's thinking. Perhaps only Cruzet can guess what he's thinking. And from what I know, even if Livonz has other motives, he will not do anything in the plan. Even if he has other motives, he will only do it at the last moment. Cruzet told me that he is confident in restraining Livonz, so he should be fine as long as he is careful."
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Graham nodded. In terms of scheming, Cruzet was the best in their division. Graham fully believed in Cruzet's ability. The game between the two foxes was not something that could be easily figured out. In that case, Graham did not dwell on it, but he reminded himself to be careful of Livonz.
Graham asked, "Sir, are you going to participate in this operation personally?"
"No, I just came back. Who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching me? If my disappearance coincides with the Celestials' operation, it will be easy for problems to arise." Xiao Ran looked up at Graham and said, "You will participate in this operation. Your Ferocious Bird is also equipped with a solar furnace. It will not be a problem for you to disguise yourself as a Celestial. Just be careful. Do your best to cause as much damage as possible to A-Laws, but be careful not to cause too much damage. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort to strengthen them."
"Finally, after rescuing the members of the resistance organization, find a way to contact them. Tell them that someone is willing to support their resistance. When the time comes, I will personally contact them. Once the contact is successful, let the members of the division join them to increase their strength. Since it's a training exercise, of course, it will be effective to join the weak side and fight the strong side."
"Roger." Graham nodded and said, "Then I will leave with Livonz and go to space to wait for the Frontier to arrive."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The Frontier was already on its way to Earth, and the so-called arrival was not to enter any of the ports on Earth, but to enter the real core of the Celestials, the base port of the VEDA on the far side of the moon. Because the Burning Legion was too big, it would temporarily stay in the asteroid belt, and the Frontier would bring everyone except the bridge members of the Burning Legion to Earth to officially join the mission.
Once the members of the Legion joined the resistance organization, it would greatly increase the armed forces of the resistance organization. But even if these people were to be separated, Xiao Ran would not really completely separate them. Instead, he would arrange for them to be deployed in certain areas of the resistance organization to fight against A-Laws. Moreover, not all of the members would join the resistance organization. Some of them had to be arranged in the Middle East, and some even had to be arranged in A-Laws.
The increase in the combat power of the resistance organization and the Middle East would inevitably cause A-Laws to launch a crazy counterattack. By then, the battle would become more prominent, and as the scale of the resistance organization grew, it would become harder to conceal.
Xiao Ran would also ask his subordinates to investigate the locations of the resistance organizations that did not have any Legion teams. After that, Livonz would leak the information to A-Laws one by one, and let them eliminate them to weaken the strength and power of the resistance organization. Although Xiao Ran wanted to overthrow the current Federation government, the newly established Federation government should be obedient. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to do so much.
