Chapter 681: Rotten Banquet
The victory in several local battles, which hindered the advance of Britannia, made the EU rejoice, so ...... They opened a celebration feast for such a thing as "blocking Britannia".
"Your Highness Leluxiu, as the protagonist of this celebration banquet held for you, why don't you relax and wear this military uniform?
Seeing that Lelouch and Kalian were wearing military uniforms, they were out of place with the atmosphere of the banquet. The upper-level people of the EU wanted to talk, but they seemed to be a little afraid, they talked to their acquaintances, chatted about some unnutritious words, and their eyes paid attention to the atmosphere here from time to time, unconsciously isolating Lelouch and his party.
EU's general, Jean Smeras, came over and lightened the mood - after all, it would be difficult for the protagonist of the celebration to be isolated. Without Lelouch, he probably wouldn't even have had the opportunity to hold this celebration banquet.
"You don't need to call me Your Highness, I'm no longer a prince. He Chen said lightly, he didn't hide his identity, there were also people on the EU side who were familiar with the Britannian royal family, and they quickly recognized Lelouch's identity. Although they were curious about why the prince of Britannia rebelled against Britannia, since they were helping them in the war, they naturally did not say much - they only thought about their own lives.
"The war is not over. He Chen explained in one sentence why he was still wearing a military uniform, the battlefield of the EU had only entered a stalemate stage, and it was not over, how could He Chen be relieved?
"However, the EU needs such a morale-boosting banquet. Days of war have made people frightened and tired, and such a banquet is needed to relax. General Jean also defended the banquet. After all that is said. He Chen smiled and complimented, "I believe in your excellent art of war." In the end, it will lead us to victory. ”
He Chen suddenly smiled.
What really needs to boost morale is the group of people standing guard downstairs when they are holding banquets, the people who are guarding the land of the frontier on the front line, and the people who are still conscientiously collecting intelligence in the war room.
Moreover, in such a wartime, he did not even ban alcohol? If the people on He Chen's side dared to do this. Absolutely shot and speechless.
At the banquet, well-dressed and enjoying the food and wine with peace of mind, but these were bought by the front-line soldiers in exchange for their lives, if it was known that the rear was protecting such a group of bastards, would the souls of the soldiers who died in battle be able to rest in peace?
What's more, in the face of the life-and-death battle in his own homeland, he actually pinned his hopes on others, such a country, such a person. It really made He Chen not know what to say.
Say they're treacherous and cunning?
But is there a free lunch in the world?
He Chen couldn't help but think of a person-Wang Jingwei.
It's just self-righteous cleverness, and no one is stupid. No one will work hard for strangers in vain. thinks he is in control, but in the end he is just being sold and helping people to make money.
Perhaps, this is also a good thing for He Chen. If they are united enough, brave enough, backbone and enthusiastic enough, then He Chen's plan behind will be a little difficult.
General Jean chatted with He Chen for a while, introduced several nobles and consortia to He Chen, and seeing that He Chen was not interested, he left with interest, so that He Chen could enjoy the banquet.
"Lelouch, why did you come to this banquet. Karen's guards were beside He Chen, guarding He Chen's safety and not leaving an inch.
Karen was unhappy with the atmosphere of the banquet, which made her smell the nobles of Britannia.
"Feel it? The smell of decay. He Chen suddenly said to them.
The people of EU were eating, drinking, and merrymaking, but He Chen and his party were staying by He Chen's side, facing those tempting delicacies and wines, motionless, and no one ate or drank.
In their eyes, perhaps these seemingly delicious foods make them sick and sick, and they would rather eat the tasteless compressed biscuits they bring with them than touch a piece of meat here.
"The world is not limited to Zone 11, and the EU is no different. If it weren't for the idea of overthrowing such a system, Area 11 would have become what the EU is now. Do you like the look?"
Karene shook her head with the others, seeing EU's style, they understood more deeply what He Chen had said to them, and understood their mission even more.
"Think of the lovely soldiers of the EU who fought side by side with us, think of the poor people of the EU who were displaced, clothed and hungry because of the war we saw on the road, and then look at this banquet. Do you understand what we're going to do?"
Everyone's eyes were clear.
"There are two mountains on the people here, one is Britannia and the other is the EU, and after the overthrow of Britannia, then they are our next enemy. He Chen waved his hand at the people at the banquet and said to his party members.
Those EU people, looking at He Chen's smiling face, thought they were talking about something good, and raised their glasses to He Chen in response with a smile.
The comrades around He Chen nodded vigorously, they are fighters for international communism!
No country, no nation, where there is oppression, there is them!
“…… Would you say such a thing in front of me?" Layla Malukar, the commander of the EU Special Forces "W-zero", looked at He Chen with a very bad face.
She was dressed in an EU military uniform, which was also out of place in the atmosphere of the banquet.
"It's okay, I've never covered it up, haven't you seen our party's propaganda leaflets? Or do you think it's just a slogan I shouted, and you won't really do it?" He Chen asked with a smile, but Layla felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, there was a sorrow that had not been for Lelouch they would have almost fallen completely, and even if there was Lelouch, when Lelouch defeated Britannia, he would have turned against them. The EU's top brass also thought that Lelouch was a harmless "good guy".
I wanted to drive the tiger and devour the wolf to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but I didn't know that they were luring the wolf into the house.
"Do you think EU is luring the wolf into the house? That's because you're thinking too much, don't take yourself too seriously. Our battle with Britannia has nothing to do with you, the mud bomb is not suitable as the main battlefield, the strategic depth is too small, if you are annexed, let me deal with the Knight of the Round Table in the mud bombardment, then I will feel very difficult. That's why I came to the EU, to drag Britannia's forces in the EU, and of course, it would be better to annihilate them in the EU. If you don't cooperate with us, we will fight, and if you cooperate with us, it will just make me less troublesome. And don't think that I will be grateful to you, it was you who used us to defend your country, and since you yourself have lost the idea of defending your home and country, then you have to pay your own price. He Chen completely guessed Layla's thoughts, Layla was okay as a staff officer, but her political ability was too weak and her personality was too upright, and the difficulty of her mind was slightly higher than that of Kalian.
Layla was silent, she used to be next to He Chen, and watched with her own eyes how He Chen commanded and how they disintegrated the offensive of Cornelia, who was powerless to fight back, and she even understood that if it weren't for the fear of the loss of the EU army on the EU side, and the poor cooperation, Cornelia's losses would have been even greater.
"Aren't you worried that I'll tell you all of this?" Layla said.
He Chen waved his hand: "Whatever, it's a matter of time or time anyway, there is no need to hide it." Do you think you can beat Cornelia on your own, or can you beat us? Whether we defeat Cornelia or Cornelia defeats us, you have only one way - destruction. Or do you want to cooperate with Cornelia? kill us first? Not to mention whether you will survive after defeating us, not to mention whether Cornelia will cooperate with your group. Even if Cornelia reluctantly cooperated with you in order to deal with me...... Do you think you and Cornelia together can beat me? I've seen the 'young master' soldiers, but this is the first time I've seen your 'master' soldiers. If Cornelia is a tiger-tigress, then your army is a hamster at best, and I look forward to your cooperation with Cornelia, who may be able to hold her back and do us a great favor. Besides, if you decide to cooperate with Cornelia, have you ever wondered what the people and the front-line fighters will think? ”
Layla lowered her head, her face pale.
He Chen didn't scare her, the convenient situation of the EU was a foregone conclusion from the beginning. He Chen's appearance only slightly prolonged the unrealistic fantasies of those rice worms.
It is also these rice worms that allow He Chen's propaganda department to show its skills here, although it has not yet absorbed Hinata Yingdou (Akid). However, He Chen has successfully pulled up a new team here - Naruse Yuya, Sayama Ryu, Kasaka Aino, and other characters who originally belonged to the protagonist team have all responded to He Chen's call and become a good comrade in the party, fighting for the cause of international communism wholeheartedly.
With the growth of the organization, He Chen suddenly thought of a song: A good party member, when you come to GCD, an excellent party member will be added every day. One more today! One more tomorrow! There will be many more outstanding party members the day after tomorrow!
"By the way, are you interested in joining us?" He Chen threw an olive branch to Layla. (To be continued......)
