Just like Xiao Ran, if it were him who accepted the side mission of destroying or capturing the Minerva, he would definitely jump out when he had an advantage at the beginning and kill the opponent in one fell swoop without knowing whether the opponent had more support. Destruction, instead of choosing to show up after the coalition fell into a disadvantage, stupidly gave away the advantage and then took over from the disadvantage to turn the tide. No normal participant would risk the failure of the mission to do this.
From this point, Xiao Ran can judge that the possibility of these coalition participants who appeared later to accept the mission against the Minerva is very small. Their appearance in this place is nothing more than a joint order, or something. Other tasks are on hand.
Of course, this is not completely absolute. After all, the other party fell from the sky when it appeared. It seemed that it did not arrive with the coalition fleet. What if these participants just didn't catch up in time and the four of them suddenly appeared because of Ashe? Disrupting the joint deployment, it might be possible for them to defeat the Minerva. And if the mission deadline of those participants is not just today, even if they cover the retreat of the joint fleet now, they will have the opportunity to attack again in the future. The Minerva took aim.
Xiao Ran was even thinking that maybe the five coalition participants who appeared might be able to make up for the vacated responsibilities in the coalition forces to a certain extent because he left with the three Xiaoqiang.
After so many thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Ran turned his attention to the distance again. In fact, the battle on the sea has developed so far that we can basically see the final outcome. With the sudden intrusion of Ai Xi and the four of them, they jointly The number of the military's mass-produced Wendam machines is only one-third of the original number, only seven or eight units.
It is difficult for these mass-produced aircraft to launch an effective attack on the Minerva when Luna Maria and Lei stand on the Minerva and cooperate with the Minerva's fire suppression. Even today's Minerva cannot The same was true when black smoke was billowing out, and the United battleships suffered heavy losses due to the sudden burst of the Pulse Gundam. The Ashe foursome showed a tacit understanding against the five United forces participants, and completely defeated them. The opponent intercepted the Minerva at a safe distance, and even had time to deal with the mass-produced Wendhams surrounding it.
If we continue to fight, once the foursome of Ashe, Ray, Lunamaria, and True Asuka seize the opportunity, it will only be a matter of time before the combined fleet, except for those participants, is completely wiped out, unless they follow the Minerva. The Orb army behind jumped out to help the Union army, otherwise it would be difficult to reverse this disadvantage.
Although the current combat strength of both sides seems to be similar. There are several battleships and several mass-produced MSs in the alliance. There are also Minerva and Zaku on this side. There are five participants on the opposite side. There are four Aishi on this side. Team and Shin Asuka seem to be at a 50-50 split. In fact, the maritime battleships of the Alliance are of little use, as are the mass-produced Wendhams. Once the Minerva is solved, After several battleships, Lunamaria and Lei dealt with those Windhams, the alliance really had no chance of victory.
The participants on the coalition side seemed to be aware of this, so they also chose a more appropriate method, holding back the Ashe quartet and the Pulse Gundam, allowing the coalition fleet to begin to retreat, and did not rush towards the secret ship rashly. The Neva continued the attack.
As the coalition gradually withdrew, the Minerva also slowly disappeared on the sea level with black smoke. After the coalition withdrew, the four Ashe also did not continue to pursue, and disappeared under the sea again. Xiao Ran's vision.
After leaving the coastline, Xiao Ran got back in the car and drove towards another place. He walked along the coastline for a long time until he saw a mansion located on the coastline. After that, Xiao Ran stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, the mansion located on the coastline is where Kira, Lux, Bucky Lulu, Mu, Tiger Andrew and his wife Aisha currently live. He stared at the house quietly for about half a day. An hour later, Xiao Ran let out a long sigh and drove away in the car.
During the time before meeting up with Stella and the other three, Xiao Ran drove around by himself, stayed outside Shuguang Society for a while, and then went to the monument station for a while. He just spent the whole day wandering around Austria. Brie ran around without a clear purpose until night came and reunited the three people with excited and relaxed smiles on their faces. Xiao Ran took them back to the Main Angel.
When Xiao Ran and Stella returned to the Main Angel, they saw Ma Liu, Mu and Baji Lulu who had been waiting there for a long time. The appearance of the three people also made Xiao Ran raise his eyebrows slightly. It wasn't until everyone sat down in the cafeteria of the Lord Angel that Xiao Ran asked, "Why are you here?"
Mu looked at Stella who was sitting next to Xiao Ran, and then at Sting and Oru who were standing against the wall behind Xiao Ran. He curled his lips and said helplessly: "Such a big thing happened, you still have time to bring three people with you." This little guy is running around. Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you still sitting still and unwilling to stand up now that Orb is like this? What do you mean by what you asked Malu to tell us? What do you mean they want to If you leave, just cooperate with them in leaving. What are you planning on doing?"
Mu's words made Ma Liu helplessly smile. Baji Lulu also looked at Xiao Ran seriously, as if she wanted to find the answer she needed from Xiao Ran's next answer. She didn't understand what Xiao Ran was calculating or typing. idea.
"Is it for this?" Xiao Ran glanced at Bucky Lulu and Mu, remained silent for a moment, and said: "In the current Orb situation, it doesn't make any sense even if I stand up. If I stand up, it will only make Orb worse. It’s complicated. If I really want to stand up, will the military and cabinet listen to me, the Serans family, or Cagalli, who has been completely ignored?”
"Cagalli is too naive. Even if I stand up and use my methods to suppress the Seran family and completely clean them out of the core of Orb, Cagalli's innocence is definitely not as good as mine and appearance." conflict, how to deal with the Seran family, and where Orb should put herself now. These are all difficult decisions for Cagalli. As long as Cagalli is with Orb for one day, she will always be As the Prime Minister of Orb, I cannot go beyond her to put pressure on the cabinet and the military. Otherwise, what will be the difference between me and the father and son of the Seran family, and this contradiction will eventually spread to the entire Orb. "
"At that time, because of my strength, a group of guys who are in cahoots with the Seran family will choose to stand behind Cagalli and oppose me. To put it harshly, I am just an 'outsider', fighting against Cagalli. After a conflict occurs, it may embarrass the military and split into two factions. Then I will become the one seizing power, and Cagalli will become the biggest obstacle to my leadership of Orb, and it is precisely that I cannot control Cagalli. Make any move.”
"I am also very clear about public opinion among the Orb people. Once I come to the forefront, the situation that Cagalli will encounter will be more serious. The military will not know who to support, and the people will want Cagalli to step down. Once Cagalli and I really have a conflict, and the only one affected will be Orb. Do you also want me to do that kind of thing to force the palace? Pull Cagalli down and take the position of Orb's Prime Minister? It doesn't matter. The pain is unbearable for both Cagalli and Orb."
"Now Orb can't stand greater chaos. In that case, why should I stand up and actively cause chaos? With the current situation, I believe that Kira will soon be forced to choose to take Kagali away, and Kajia All the conflicts after Li leaves will also focus on the father and son of the Seran family. Only at that time is it best for me to stand up."
"Without Cagalli, everyone in the Seran family faction will not have any support when they compete with me head-on. I can completely do whatever I want to do and completely destroy the Seran family. And those guys who are colluding with them, directly clear out the core class of Orb, and drive them out of Orb completely. Having complete control over Orb will unite everyone as one heart. Only in this way can I have this ability. From today's chaotic world situation, Orb can be brought to the path it should go, and if Cagalli stays in Orb for a day, I won't be able to do this for a day."
Xiao Ran said this, glanced at the thoughtful Mu and Bucky Lulu who sighed slightly, and continued: "What I asked Ma Liu to tell you, the meaning is very simple and clear. If you continue to conceal my return, if Ji Ra decided to leave with Cagalli, then you will fully cooperate. After you leave, I will stand up and take over Orb. Only in this way will I not take over Orb as a power grabber, nor will I compete with Albu. Any conflict with Cagalli leaving Orb.”
Mu looked at Xiao Ran seriously and said: "What if Cagalli announces that she will transfer the position of Prime Minister to you again, and will not care about any military or government affairs."
"With your IQ, you shouldn't ask such an idiotic question." Xiao Ran glanced at Mu and said, "Even if Cagalli does this, to Cagalli she knows that I know, but others don't know. But Cagalli's approach will also become the reason for the Seran family to attack me, and in this case, once they gain joint support, Cagalli will become my biggest obstacle and jump directly with me. What difference does it make if you come out and take over the rights?”
Seeing that Mu was still about to speak, Xiao Ran waved his hand to interrupt Mu, and said directly: "The current situation is not just a problem within Orb, but a problem in the entire world, whether it is Cagalli, Lux, or even As long as Kira and Aslan stay with Orb for one day, Orb will not be able to get out of the vortex of war between the Alliance and Zaft. In order to solve Orb's problem, we must consider it from a larger perspective. He just solved the current problem but let the war sweep through the rebuilt Orb." (~^~)
