After the battle, the ships of the Victory Fleet, including the Burning Legion, entered the city of New Tokyo III through a huge entrance, an unbelievably large underground space.

Obviously it is just an underground space, not only the height of the interior of the space is exaggerated, the area is also incredible, the ground of the entire underground space is planted with countless green plants, plus the pyramid-like building of the NERV headquarters, it is like entering a paradise.

It is said that there is a large distance from the ground, so there is not even a single pillar visible in such a huge space, and it can support the third new Tokyo city built directly above the space.

But Xiao Ran also knew from Deputy Commander Dongyue, who led the way, that in fact, this huge space under the ground could be regarded as the real Third New Tokyo City, because countless buildings in the entire Third Tokyo City could descend into this space when there was a battle.

After Xiao Ran and the others followed Deputy Commander Dongyue into the door of the command room, what everyone could see was an empty room the size of half a court court, but this room was empty except for a table and a person sitting behind the table.

This kind of strange command room made Xiao Ran, who already knew what the situation of this place was very like, and the rest of the people who followed behind were basically a little surprised by the situation in the command room of Ikari Yuantang, because it was really not a comfortable thing to stay in such an empty office for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Ran and the others walking in, Ikari Yuantang first pushed his yellow glasses and stood up directly, took the initiative to greet Xiao Ran and the others, and stretched out his right hand with white gloves after walking in front of Xiao Ran: "Hello, I am NERV's commander Ikari Yuantang, welcome to NERV, and thank you for your help to NERV before." ”

The black suit, the slightly gloomy face, and the eyes covered by the eyes that I don't know if they are yellow or orange, with the dim lights in this office, to be honest, the feeling and impression that Ikari Gendo gave to everyone at first glance was really not good, and I always felt that this person looked a little cold and mysterious.

Xiao Ran also stretched out his hand and shook it lightly, and after being stunned for a moment, he returned to normal when others couldn't see the change in their expressions, and said with a slight smile: "I am Xiao Ran of the Victory Fleet, and I don't hold any special positions in this fleet, I am very happy to be able to meet you, Mr. Ikari Yuantang." ”

"Victory Fleet, is that the name of your current fleet?" Ikari Yuantang asked in a calm and low voice, and at the same time looked at the few people behind Xiao Ran.

Brad, Tessa, and Captain Ott Gendo Ikari naturally knew each other, although they were not familiar with it, but at least they had contact, but Okita Thirteen, Hoshino Ruri, Maru, and Miss Huang were really the first time he saw it, and in Ikari Gendo's heart, he was also very puzzled, where did the ships Burning Legion, Nadeshiko, Yamato, and Ptolemy come from, and why they had never seen or heard of them.

Therefore, asking about the composition of the Victory Fleet can be regarded as asking Xiao Ran about their origins.

Xiao Ran nodded: "Yes, the Victory Fleet is composed of several warships that have entered here, including Mithril's Son of Dannu, Lund Bell's La Kellam and Quasi Akama. ”

Ikari Gentang's eyes changed, and he nodded silently and looked at Brad, Captain Ott, and Tessa, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, please, Colonel Brad, Colonel Ott, Colonel Tessa, you are also welcome to come here, please come with me." ”

Ikari Gentang turned around to lead the way, but he didn't notice the strange eyes that Xiao Ran showed behind him, he just walked to his desk and pressed a button, and several chairs and tables suddenly rose in the originally empty office.

One by one, the people sat down at these tables, almost in a circle.

After sitting down, it was naturally impossible for Ikari Gentang, as the master here, to let the atmosphere be indifferent, considering that he didn't know the situation of the Burning Legion and other ships, so Ikari Gentang's next questions and conversations revolved around the Victory Fleet.

After asking what was going on with the Victory Fleet, with the acquiescence and approval of everyone, Brad sighed and told the situation of the Victory Fleet, the three worlds, the enemies to be faced, etc., while Ikari Gendo kept a serious attitude and listened to Brad's description.

Xiao Ran also sat on the side, although his face could not be seen, but his heart was full of strangeness, as a changemaker, although he could not directly feel the inner thoughts of others, but needed communication to understand the other party, but he could feel the emotions, moods or inner tendencies.

And at the moment when he shook hands with Ikari Yuantang, Xiao Ran clearly felt the peace and kindness in Ikari Yuantang's heart, it was indeed not strange to say that it was calm, but if the person who was calm was Ikari Yuantang, it would be a bit abnormal.

Because from Xiao Ran's understanding, Ikari Yuantang should be an indifferent guy, even if he has affection in his heart, he is also a person who does not compromise to achieve his goals, and it feels a little ruthless, but Xiao Ran can't feel this kind of indifference or ruthlessness from this Ikari Yuantang's body at all, and some are really just that simple calm, without a little indifference but not enthusiasm, just like the feeling of a high-ranking monk.

And kindness is also undisguised, not only with good intentions in my heart, but also with my actions, taking the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Xiao Ran is really strange enough, it really doesn't look like the Ikari Yuantang in Xiao Ran's memory of the simple EVA plot.

In short, this Ikari Yuantang should be regarded as another person with a completely different personality, a person who makes Xiao Ran unable to look at it with the influence and vision of memory.

After Brad finished talking about the Victory Fleet, the three worlds, and the fact that Lund Bell had become a traitor to the Federation, Ikari Gendo followed and fell silent, until a long time passed, before he spoke: "I understand, then the current situation is very unfavorable for the Victory Fleet, without the logistics of the Federation, Lund Bell's situation will be quite bad, and it is true that Mithril, which has begun to shrink, cannot achieve perfect support and supply work." ”

"Then the rest of the Victory Fleet, all logistics, supplies, and support will be handed over to NERV."
