Plunder the Good and Shift the Blame

On the Archangel, the appearance of Xiao Ran also surprised Murrue. Before, Murrue and Halberton did not hear what Xiao Ran and Badgiruel said outside. Unknowing why Xiao Ran appeared here at this time, Murrue looked at him with a doubtful look.

Halberton seemed to have anticipated the arrival of Xiao Ran. He smiled and nodded at Xiao Ran, "You are here, please sit down."

"Thank you." Xiao Ran expressed his gratitude to Halberton like a junior and sat on a chair aside.

Looking at Xiao Ran's correct sitting position, Halberton nodded with satisfaction. In the report received from Murrue, he also saw the name Xiao Ran on it many times. Not only was he able to drive the MS to fight, but he also made a decisive proposal at many critical moments. He also was flexible and decisive. There's no need to mention so much, by saving two battleships is enough to provide him with tremendous merit.

But now seeing Xiao Ran's attitude of inferiority and humility, the goodwill accumulated from before has completely transformed into an excellent first impression. This event made Halberton think Xiao Ran was a leading material.

With a satisfied smile, Halberton said to Xiao Ran in a relaxed tone: "I saw a lot of things about you from Murrue's report. You have the courage, idea, and the most important thing is the ability. Don't you feel that your talents are buried in the college as a teaching assistant. There are many positions on my side that are suitable for you. If you are willing to join Earth Alliance, I can let you choose one good position."

Halberton's words made Murrue surprised for a moment. She then looked at Xiao Ran with a slightly expectant look.

After hearing what Halberton said, it will be lying in Xiao Ran's heart if he did not feel happy. It was so rare for him to be praised by such a person, and his face was slightly embarrassed with joy. After touching his nose, Xiao Ran also opened his mouth: "Thank you, Admiral Halberton for your pleasantries. Actually, I am here for this matter."

"Oh? Do you already have an idea to join the Earth Alliance?" Halberton laughed and looked at Xiao Ran with satisfaction: "Good, good."

Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Murrue and said, "I hope that you won't take this as an offence, sir. Admiral, you are a thoughtful and clear-headed person in the Earth Alliance. Therefore, I don't want to conceal the Admiral about this matter. Initially, I am not willing to join the Earth Alliance because I accidentally heard some news about the upper level of the Earth Alliance from a source. As far as I know, the upper layer of the Earth Alliance is not as pure as outsiders think, and there are many internal factions in it. It is even more inconceivable that a purist such as Blue Cosmos is also among them. Behind Blue Cosmos, there seems to be another larger organization to operate. I can hardly imagine joining such a team. One day, if they decide to sacrifice us because of some high-level interests, what will happen then?

Halberton's brow slowly wrinkled once hearing Xiao Ran's words. He finally sank his face and brought a hint of sorrow: "Where did you know this?"

"Some of my friends are from the Junk Guild. I think their news channels can be guaranteed." Xiao Ran answered without thinking.

"Junk Guild?" Halberton sighed slightly and nodded gently: "Yes if it is those people, it is indeed possible to get information that ordinary people can't get."

"You're right." Halberton stood up, walked back and forth a few steps. A few minutes later, he turned to look at Xiao Ran: "You're right, there is a part in the upper level of the Earth Alliance receives Blue Cosmos support and help behind them. These people have become a powerful faction in the army and a tumor that cannot be eradicated. Even my comrades and I have no way to suppress them. They can only bear to stay with them."

"In addition to the emergence of Plan G to reducing the weapon disadvantages of Zaft, it also has the meaning of relying on the success of this plan to expand the discourse right of those of us in the Earth Alliance. Although we strive for it, it is better to say that the faction's people have the same idea and deliberately conceded this opportunity. Otherwise, with the advice of an eighth fleet, how could an admiral get so many resources for cooperation."

"Admiral..." Murrue's mouth was closed together. Her face was inconceivable because the amount of information spoken from Halberton was too vast and the content inside was too scary. Murrue feels that her own faith has collapsed. More than half of the military has been controlled by the Blue Cosmos, which can be said to be a terrorist organization.

"Murrue..." Halberton looked at his former subordinates and sighed helplessly: "Although I don't want to tell you all this, you still need to know it now. No matter how the other fleet is, at least our Eighth fleet has no problems. It doesn't matter who we stand in front of, we can pat our chests and say aloud that we have a clear conscience!"

Murrue calms down and takes a breath. She then nodded gently: "Yes, Admiral. I am disrespectful."

After hearing Halberton's words, Xiao Ran knew how a fleet commander could have promoted cooperation between the two great powers, and it was still technically close cooperation. In Orb territory, this is not just the promotion of the Sahaku family mentioned in the rumor, it seems that it is also promoted by the upper level of the Earth Alliance and Blue Cosmos.

"It seems that the high ranks of the Earth Alliance and the Blue Cosmos have already made all their preparations. The water is bottomless." Xiao Ran had sudden enlightenment. It is mentioned in the plot that they are produced three biological CPU in SEED Destiny. It cannot be complete in several months. Maybe It started at the same time as Plan G started.

"Once the G plan is successful, the mecha will be mass-produced... Then, where does the pilot come from... Especially if the pilot that has speciality-installed bodies that ordinary people can't handle it. Even if there are not many people who can pilot flexibly, the remaining positions can only be strengthened by those people to make up for it. It's fearful." Xiao Ran thought of this possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts might be a fact. On top of it, the more he felt that the high ranks of the Earth Alliance and the Blue Cosmos were really horrible: 'It's no wonder it will push forward Plan G.'

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea, looked up at Halberton: "Admiral, I don't know if I should tell you about this matter."

"Huh? Please say." Halberton nodded. Although Xiao Ran revealed the ugliness of the Earth Alliance, he paid more attention to Xiao Ran. Perhaps because Xiao Ran also hated the relationship of Blue Cosmos.

Xiao Ran frowned and said, "My friend told me one thing, about something that happened in Heliopolis, and the appearance of Gundam. When I think it back now, it is really creepy."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Halberton was curious. Murrue also showed the same expression.

"Whether it's right or wrong, I hope Admiral will not blame me." Xiao Ran said. After seeing Halberton nodded, he continued: "My friends at the Junk Guild told me that the Earth Alliance has built a secret base somewhere, but he didn't tell me where. He said that this base looks like an ordinary military base and research about human beings. However, the actual role behind the scenes is to develop the strengthen people."

"Strengthen people?" Halberton and Murrue were a little confused as soon as the word came out.

Xiao Ran saw their expressions and knew that they didn't understand what they meant, so he said: "I also asked him what it meant to strengthen people. My friend said isn't the Earth Alliance averse to genetic adjustment? They will not mind any method other than genetic adjustments such as using drugs to strengthen humans and obliterating their fears and memories. At the same time, using various means to cultivate a biological CPU, which is strengthening the people."

"Living bodies, expendable, CPU?" Murrue understood the meaning of these words in an instant. Her eyes widened and turned to Halberton, and Halberton also had an open mouth with an incredible face.: "Live people as consumable parts?"

Xiao Ran said frankly: "Yes, this is the case. Admiral Halberton and Captain Murrue, now you know why I hate the Earth Alliance."

Admiral Halberton's brows frowned, and Xiao Ran can see that he walks back and forth: "Do you know if they succeeded?"

"I don't know, but on the day of the attack on Heliopolis, the spaceport of Heliopolis was attacked. There are only about a dozen people, maybe less. But these people at least completely destroyed two Orb defences and many civilians were also slaughtered." Xiao Ran said here, deliberately accentuating the words in the massacre of civilians. He paused with a deep moan and then continued: "To tell the truth, at that time, Captain Murrue and the students of mine also had faced those people. Even the gun bullets could not break through one of the people's skin. Although the bullet holes in his clothes were visible, there were no signs of bloodshed, I can guarantee that person is not wearing any body armor."

"What!" Halberton was incredibly surprised, and Murrue also looked at Xiao Ran stunned, "When?"

"You fainted at that time. Otherwise, how do you thought the gunshot wound on my arm came from then." Xiao Ran pointed to the arm he had recovered and said, "If it wasn't for Kira's quick response, maybe we wouldn't sit here. "

"The bullet can't break his skin?" Halberton banged the table with his hand and asked, "Is this happens for everyone or an individual?"

Xiao Ran replied: "There is only one, but the response and execution of the other are completely exceeded ordinary people. Perhaps, even the coordinator also not their opponent."

Halberton's eyes became sharp, and then he stared at Xiao Ran: "Strong ability, capable of piloting MS. This is what you mean?"

Xiao Ran's eyes were incredibly cold, and he also looked at Halberton without concession: "Yes, it happened too coincidentally. At first, I didn't think about this matter because I just assume those people were terrorists. The words that you said now Admiral, in association with the appearance of Gundam, I am convinced that the goal of those people who appeared in Heliopolis is also a Gundam."

At this exact moment, the door of the captain's quarter suddenly opened, and Badgiruel appeared in the eyes of the three. She held a tablet in her hand and frowned wrinkly. As soon as she walked in, she saluted to Murrue and Halberton: "Report!"

"Say."

Badgiruel glanced at Xiao Ran, and her eyes were full of inexplicability: "After some investigation, I suspect that the people mentioned by the Admiral from Heliopolis before are related to a group of extremely terrorist criminal organizations. Please rescind the transfer order of those people to the Archangel until the investigation results come out."

"Agree," Halberton answered without thinking. He frowning, and said, "Notify the flagship, limit the range of activities of those four people, and monitor 24 hours a day."

"Yes."

Looking at the conversation between the two, Xiao Ran's mouth curled upwards without a trace, and then returned to normal.
