Durandal may have felt that he had understood the current situation of Orb, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Xiao Ran, and told Xiao Ran that although the existence of logos could be confirmed, the specific composition and identity of the personnel must be further determined. Therefore, it will take some time to ensure that all logos can be collected at once, so that Xiao Ran does not have to prepare too anxiously.
Durandal's lack of urgency may be to buy himself more time, or it may be that he does not know the true identities of all logos members as he said, or he may feel that the world today is not hot enough. In short, no matter what the reason, Although the two parties had agreed to jointly deal with logos, it was temporarily shelved.
However, Xiao Ran's plan to form a special force did not stop there. Although Orb now has Xiao Ran, Mu, Ai Xi and other participants, as well as Stella and other three small powers, in terms of overall strength, the number of troops is less than in this world. It can be said to be the smallest and the least among the three major forces. If it weren't for the battle between the United and Zaft that involved countless troops from both sides, whether in the universe or in the case of battlefields all over the earth, Orb's military strength would be really complete. Not enough to see.
Even if Xiao Ran and others can partially gain an absolute advantage in the battle, except for Xiao Ran and others, the entire Orb force will never be a match for Zaft and United, and the number cannot be increased in the current short time. That's why Xiao Ran decided to establish a special force to gather quality.
But now the alliance seems to have forgotten Orb, and Zaft will not attack Orb, but it has allowed Orb to achieve a rare peace. In this situation where the world is at war, Orb has also become the most important person on the earth. This extremely rare place of peace also brought Orb more time.
Xiao Ran asked Shuguang Society to step up the development and research of new machines. To this end, he also asked Luo, who was far away in the Heavenly Pillar, for a lot of technical support. He wanted to use the current Orb resources to develop a new model that was suitable and had certain combat capabilities. The machine is indeed a big burden for Orb. At the same time, Xiao Ran also has to let Orb support the resource problem of the Heavenly Pillar to a certain extent, causing the entire Orb to basically fall into a resource shortage stage.
However, this shortage of resources is not a big problem for Xiao Ran. Once Orb becomes an exclusive camp, there will be countless resources available for Orb to use, and when Orb actually joins the war, they can also be plundered. Combine or zaft's resources to supplement oneself, so in Xiao Ran's eyes, any problem of resource shortage is temporary. As long as he can survive this period, develop a certain combat power and achieve final victory, no matter what difficulties he has, he will overcome them. It will become a floating cloud with the support of 0079 world and Macross f world.
Although he began to prepare the ace unit, Xiao Ran also did not forget about the development of the military. In the past two years, Orb also began to send requests for demobilization to the soldiers who had been cut off due to pressure from both the Alliance and the PNT. The reason for the request was not The order was entirely based on the fact that demobilization was entirely voluntary, and recruits were also started to be recruited throughout Orb.
Erica Simmonds also brought the two pilots she recommended to Xiao Ran at the right time. One was about the same height as Xiao Ran. He didn't look strong but gave people the feeling of a rock. Barry Ho, once the strongest pilot of Orb's heresy, has unparalleled fighting ability and talent, and is extremely good at driving MSs in combat. Although he is only a natural person, he has a powerful combat power that is not inferior to that of the Adjuster. .
The second one is Mayu Asuka's sister, Mayu Asuka, who is currently on board the Minerva, fighting bravely for Zaft. I think back to when Xiao Ran saw Mayu for the first time. At that time, Mayu was just a very immature and innocent little girl, wearing a school uniform that still belonged to a student. But now, Mayu appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes. She is a little girl with a firm face but a sweet smile, and a pair of big eyes. Today's Mayu is even slightly younger than the original Miliya, but her height is the same as that of the original. Miriam looks similar to Lia. In terms of figure, she already has a certain size because she is an adjuster, but she can see the kind of temperament that belongs to a soldier.
When Xiao Ran saw Director Simmonds bringing a girl with no more than a captain's rank wearing an Orb military uniform and a long-haired girl wearing an orange coat from the Dawn Society, he had already determined their identities. And it wasn't until Simmonds led the two of them to Xiao Ran's huge desk that Xiao Ran stood up, walked around the table and faced the two of them with a smile.
"Welcome. I'm sorry that because there are too many things at the moment, I can only let you come to this messy place to meet each other." Xiao Ran smiled and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Barry and Mayu respectively. Got it.
Bali has always maintained a very calm and calm look, but Mayu seemed more excited and active after seeing Xiao Ran, and her face was flushed, which looked very cute. It was a kind of meeting an idol but yet... The expression must be suppressed. After Xiao Ran said the above words, Mayu shook her head quickly and said, "I'm sorry, it's us who disturbed you."
And Barry also shook his head: "It is our honor to be received by your Excellency here."
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He also nodded to Simmonds as a greeting, then raised his hand to guide the three of them to sit down on the sofa next to him. After sitting down, Xiao Ran saw Mayona's tight He also smiled slightly: "Mayu, don't be nervous. If you haven't forgotten, we met once before. You were only that tall at that time. I didn't expect that after two years of not seeing each other, you have matured a lot and grown a lot. "
When Mayu heard that Xiao Ran still remembered her, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and a happy smile appeared on her face. Although the real bird that was her brother disappeared completely after meeting Xiao Ran, Mayu still remained. Remember, Zhen Asuka went to another place to protect Orb. It wasn’t until not long ago that she knew that Zhen Asuka was still living well, and she joined Zaft and became the ace pilot there, and I saw him with my own eyes in the dock of Shuguang Club.
However, Mayu knew better that Zhen Feiniao joined Zaft because of Xiao Ran's arrangement, and that he became an ace pilot because of Zhen Feiniao's own strength. While he was proud and worried about his brother, he was also a pilot. However, she could only take the MS test in Shuguang Club, which made this girl with great potential compete secretly. Until she knew that she would be able to truly enter the battlefield and be interviewed by her idol, she felt very happy. excitement and apprehension.
Mayu looked very sunny when she smiled. This kind of sunshine gave people a very pure feeling. Xiao Ran was also slightly stunned for a moment. Xiao Ran was stunned not because of anything else, but because he suddenly felt that such a sunny and innocent girl would be like this. It seems inappropriate to push it to the battlefield.
However, it is Mayu's own wish to really fight, and Orb really needs excellent pilots now, so Xiao Ran was stunned for a short moment and returned to normal, and then looked at Barry again. , said: "Barry He, the strongest heretic pilot and fighter, fought bravely and achieved great results in the last war. He left the army because of his disappointment with Orb two years ago. Thank you very much for your support." Come back when Orb needs you most."
Barry shook his head and said seriously to Xiao Ran: "When Orb became a threat because of his power, I have always admired you for taking the initiative to leave, so after you left, I also chose the same approach as you. Although Perhaps there was also disappointment in Orb at that time, and if I don't come back when you need strength, then I am not worthy of becoming an Orb soldier, and being able to continue fighting under your command is what I have always dreamed of. "
"Yes." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and nodded lightly, looking at the two of them and said: "Aub may have had some shortcomings in the past and now, which made people feel disappointed, but I believe that as Aub With the development of Bubu, we can definitely turn these disappointing places into places that we can be proud of again.”
Seeing the two people nodding, Simmonds sat aside without saying a word. Xiao Ran also smiled and continued: "Now Orb has gone through a lot and has left the country full of holes, but he is also a man who broke the shackles and walked forward again. Opportunities for rapid development, and if you want to develop, the first thing to do is not to be affected, then this requires enough power to protect Orb, who is waiting for things to happen in a world that has become increasingly chaotic."
"Director Simmonds recommended you two to me. After knowing about you, I also got to know you a little bit and found that you are also very good pilots and fighters. Of course, Mayu, you are now experienced There is still a big gap between you and Captain Billy, but I believe that you will soon grow to a truly qualified level. I have no doubt about this. And Barry, your fighting style and method are indeed worthy of The title of the strongest heretical pilot."
As he said this, Xiao Ran stood up from the sofa. When Barry and Mayu saw Xiao Ran standing up, they were about to get up too, but Xiao Ran pressed his hand to let the two of them sit down, and just watched Xiao Ran walk towards them. He took out a stack of documents from his desk and came back again to sit in his previous position.
Xiao Ran looked at the thing in his hand first, and then handed it to Barry and Mayu separately. Only then did he speak again: "You guys take a look at this thing first." (.)
