At present, Orb's resources and manpower are indeed the biggest problem limiting Orb's rapid development. However, after Orb was inexplicably turned into a legion territory, this problem is not a problem for Xiao Ran. In the report, Xiao Ran understood the reason why Orb suddenly became the territory of the legion. He also roughly understood that the essence of Orb becoming the territory of the legion this time was the same as the essence of the twenty-fifth fleet becoming the territory of the legion. It is obtained through inheritance within the rules and recognition.
Once Orb becomes a territory, the limitations of all materials, technology, and personnel will no longer be a big problem. As long as you complete the three main tasks and return to Prometheus, even if Orb's resources experience extreme negative growth , the entire Orb's material reserves have been exhausted, and he owes a debt to a Japanese army. But as long as he can complete this mission, Xiao Ran can pass Prometheus, the Twenty-fifth Ship Group and 0079 The earth's materials are used to replenish Orb, and the current military strength of Orb is strengthened without considering the consequences. In other words, Xiao Ran can now fight without worrying about other problems.
As for the current situation that cannot be supported by the other two territories, Orb's current situation can be made up for by working with other parties. PNT has not turned its back yet, and those countries that want to be neutral but have no choice but to join the World Security Alliance The forces of Mars, dssd, and the East Asian Federation, which have frequent and ambiguous relations with Orb in private, even obtain all the resources Orb needs from the federation itself. In addition, there are also many technical personnel in the Heavenly Pillar. Once the reserves and material reserves are obtained from these countries and forces, there will be absolutely no problem in supporting Orb's normal development during Xiao Ran's mission.
Having said that, even if mass production of new models begins, those already produced Orb second-generation mass-produced machines Murasame will not just throw them aside. They will also become an integral part of Orb's combat power. I know that in the original plot, Orb's own power is not weak, and he has the power to fight with Zaft. It's just that Cagalli and the father and son of the Seran family who are in charge of Orb are too useless. That’s all.
What Xiao Ran told Simmonds was not to worry about resource consumption. As long as Orb's hard power could be enhanced as soon as possible at this time, she didn't need to worry about anything else. Simmonds also understood it very well. Xiao Ran's intention was to speed up Shuguang Club's actions.
Two years ago, due to war and neutron jammers, the earth's communications were very serious at that stage. Maybe there would be no communication on the earth, but now it is completely different, even with television All can be broadcast live around the world. It can be said that in addition to the continuous impact of neutron jammers on nuclear weapons and energy, the impact on communications has been reduced to a minimum.
Even though during the battle phase there would be some communication delays due to equipment interference and communication intermediary coverage issues, at Zaft's Gibraltar base, he could directly contact Xiao Ran there.
Xiao Ran, who left Dawn Club and returned to his residence, had a remote video call with Bucky Lulu. Although it was already night here in Orb, the sun was still hanging in the sky over in Gibraltar. In the video, you can also see the fatigue and sleepiness on Bucky's face, but he kept his spirits up and carefully reported to Xiao Ran from meeting the Minerva and the joint battle to entering Gibraltar. Things that happened.
However, Xiao Ran had already read Bucky Lulu's written report on the situation during the battle, so Bucky Lulu didn't say too much in this regard. The most talked about part in the conversation with Xiao Ran was about Gibraltar. The tense situation in the zaft army and the matter about librarians.
"We are now at Zaft's Gibraltar base. However, Speaker Durandal has to deal with the Minerva and other matters, so he has not contacted us for the time being. However, after coming here, I found that this base is full of There is a tense atmosphere, and MS is mobilized more frequently. It seems that they are preparing for a war, maybe it is related to the cooperation we reached on logos before, but I am not sure about the specific situation."
"But the damage to the Minerva is quite serious. I estimate that it will take at least half a month to complete the repair. If Zaft really takes any action, it will only be half a month later at most. In addition, although Speaker Durandal They haven't received us yet, but they sent the captured photocopier and the report about the fight between Zaft and the librarian to the Lord Angel. He is indeed your photocopier and he knows who I am. He is currently being interrogated. , if you have any information, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran looked at Bucky Lulu's tired look, nodded, and said: "Ask as much information about the librarian from him as possible, and you can also ask Zaft if they can transfer the libraries on both sides. The librarian's information is shared. I believe that guy Durandal took the initiative to produce a report between them and the librarian. This aspect should not be rejected. By the way, what did that report say? .”
"It's similar to what we know. During a routine patrol, traces belonging to the library were found. After investigation, a librarian's base was found, but the report did not explain what was found in that base. , more of a description of the situation encountered during the battle, and simply mentioned that the base belonged to a small military and mechanical comprehensive body."
"Hmm." Xiao Ran groaned and said: "According to my estimation, the librarian's headquarters should still be in the universe, so the place where the photocopiers are made should be in the universe, but there should be many on the earth. Small bases and strongholds, ask Durandal if he has any information about other strongholds, whether it is logos or librarians, they all have considerable ambitions and are definitely our biggest enemies on this issue. It has to be dealt with on a priority basis.”
"I understand." Baji Lulu nodded and said: "In addition, many of the aircraft onboard the Lord Angel have been damaged. They are currently undergoing repairs, but with the manpower of the Lord Angel, it will take about half a month. Only after the repair is completed, we probably won’t be able to carry out any combat missions here for half a month.”
"It doesn't matter, you can take a break during this time. You can communicate more with Zaft over there, and try to keep the deal with librarians and logos in line with Zaft. After I deal with the joint prisoners, I will I will also leave Orb for a few days, maybe meet Durandal in person, and also go to the universe. If you can't contact me, you can make your own decision on the matter there."
Bucky Lulu nodded and didn't ask Xiao Ran what he was going to do after leaving Orb. She just needed to do what she should do.
After saying a few words to Bucky Lulu, Xiao Ran hung up the communication. Xiao Ran also sat alone, with his hands on the table and his head supported. For the first time in this world, he seriously thought about the mission. Question comes.
First of all, no matter what the circumstances were, only the first of the three main quests had been started and completed. There was still no sign of the remaining two quests. However, Xiao Ran followed the development and understanding of the plot, and even as a One of the leaders of one of the three major forces in this mission can also roughly guess the triggering time of the two subsequent missions.
If nothing unexpected happens, the second main mission should be when Durandal officially announces the logo. Under such circumstances, at least most of the coalition forces will become the common enemy in the world, and the participants who join the coalition will There is an opportunity to change the camp, so it is very suitable to use it in this place. Of course, the two biggest targets that can be chosen are Zaft and Orb.
The third mission must be the time when Durandal announced his destiny plan and finally wanted to use the weapons of the joint base on the moon to destroy Orb. At that time, the alliance had completely split and joined Orb and Zaft, and in front Participants who have not used the opportunity to change their faction during the two missions can continue to choose between Orb and Zaft.
If nothing unexpected happened, the remaining two main missions must be related to these two major events. Xiao Ran had no doubt about this. But for side tasks, they are much more difficult than main tasks with clues. The key is that the entire world still knows too little about librarians. The only person who knows the most about librarians is Tian Tian. Even if Xiao Ran does have some understanding of the librarian, he is definitely not as good as the Tianzhi Yuzhu who has been tit-for-tat with the librarian.
Therefore, if Xiao Ran wants to get more information about the library, he probably still has to go to Tianzhizhu to get it personally from Mina or Cong Yungui. What's more important is that Xiao Ran also brings Tianzhuzhu with him. The purpose is to return the Heavenly Pillar to Orb's embrace and to mobilize the Heavenly Pillar's materials and technical personnel.
In addition, Xiao Ran also needs to contact the East Asia Federation. The attitude of the East Asia Federation has always been very ambiguous. There are many factions within them, and they are also unhappy with the existence of factions in the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Federation. Moreover, they still account for most of the top leaders of the East Asia Federation. The East Asia Federation joined the alliance for certain inevitable reasons, but this does not mean that they are completely of the same mind as the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation. Before adding the East Asia Federation, The mission even promised that Orb could come to them if he needed help, so if Xiao Ran found them, the East Asia Federation would definitely give Orb some support.
