Diethart Lead.

This media maniac who originally had nothing to do with Ilan has now become the only person who can "communicate" with Ilan except for Leluxiu.

Due to their level of intelligence, the people of the Black Knights can only obey orders, and it is better to ask them for their opinions than to take out a coin and guess the pros and cons.

Come to think of it, a sharp and elegant man like Shinichiro Tamaki can be the treasurer, and the abundance of talent in the Black Knights can be seen from this······

Ilan looked at the ponytailed man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and intimacy.

At this moment, in that aristocratic station wagon, the terrorists were all driven out by Ilan. Diethart sat on the sofa, flipped through the text in his hand, and reported the recent situation to the deputy commander who was sitting opposite him and sipping tea.

"For ZERO, the Britannian gave almost one-sided negative feedback in the survey, and the image of a terrorist is deeply entrenched. Of course, this is also to be expected, after all, this is a public investigation by the media. However, ZERO's image among young people is surprisingly good. They liked ZERO, but I was skeptical that they liked his philosophy or the way he made his appearance.

As for the influence of ZERO and the Black Knights among the natives of the Numbered District, I'm sorry that I can't investigate it from my standpoint.

But I think you know better than I do about ZERO's place in Eleven's mind. Protests, marches, riots,**, especially after Jeremia's press conference, these activities have exploded. The ordinary, even more than the turbulent period after Japan's surrender.

These are undoubtedly brought by ZERO.

Although it is not possible to distribute the questionnaire directly, there is a number of jù that can explain the mental impact of ZERO on eleven. ”

The pony-tailed man suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look, not knowing whether to tell Sù Yilan about the number.

"The death toll?" Ilan guessed.

"Yes, the exact number has been officially blocked, but there is information that the number of mobs shot in this week alone has exceeded the total of last year."

Diethardt closed the text in his hand and placed it on the table.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lead." Ilan took the thick text and flipped through it casually. "It's a blessing to have a smart guy to help."

"You've won a prize."

Diethardt was very useful.

There is no shortage of praise for his talent, but it is also divided into objects, if it is his fat overflowing commander, or the generals in the military department who have muscles to the skull to praise him, he will not care about it at all. bowed and praised the other party for two sentences, Shi Shiran turned around and left.

But the teenager in front of him is different.

With courage, brains, action, planning, and purpose, he couldn't be better as a leader, and handed him a job he dreamed of.

He admired this teenager from the bottom of his heart.

"Want a full-time job? In the Black Knights? ”

"Of course!" Diethart hurriedly made up his mind.

"That's great." Ilan said with a smile. "But not yet, until we can establish a reliable intelligence system, we will have to wronged you to stay in the TV station for a while longer. After that, you can continue to work on image design and media communication under me, and I guess that's what you want, right? ”

"Image design? ZERO？ ”

It's really pleasant to talk to smart people, and you can make sense of it.

"Yes, the image of the 'revolutionary leader', his background, his philosophy, his battles, his mythology. To be honest, it is a fool's dream for us to defeat Britannia alone, and killing the three princes is just a loss of face for the empire, and the damage to its national strength is just a drop in the bucket, and it won't hurt. ”

Ilan put Wen Jiàn back on the table and picked up the teacup.

"There is an upper limit to the strength of terrorist organizations, and once they have grown to a certain extent, it is impossible to hide themselves, just like the Japanese liberation front, and in the end they can only retreat into the mountains to protect themselves.

I'm not stupid enough to think that I could overthrow Britannia through terror alone.

Then we have to think differently, for example, tell everyone that 'the empire is cruel and greedy, and if you don't kill it, it will kill your whole family.' But don't be afraid, the empire is not invincible, isn't ZERO just there? Didn't he take a few terrorists and kill the three princes of the empire in a dignified manner? If he can do it, you can do it too.'"

To do this, we must portray every sneak attack as a war, every general we kill will be scandalized, every terrorist killed in battle will be a martyr of the Romantic Revolution, and every victory of the Black Knights is a manifestation of imperial incompetence.

These images were recorded and packaged into promotional videos for dissemination around the world. In other words, we're all just actors, and ZERO is the protagonist of the play.

A movie with the whole world as the background, with seven billion lives as actors, and the most huge investment.

How's it going, Mr. Lead?

I'm in need of an industry elite like you who is well-versed in packaging distribution. ”

"Of course! Please let me join! ”

Although he had vaguely guessed ZERO's plan, hearing Ilan's own admission still made Diethart tremble with excitement and couldn't help himself!

As a terminal patient of media poisoning, how could he refuse such an invitation?!

Treason?

So what?!

Britannia is about to become history! And I'm going to be the author of this epic! What could be more tempting than that?!

"So, I'm presumptuous, but could you please introduce me to ZERO? I didn't expect to see him for what he really was, I just wanted to..."

"I'm ZERO."

Ilan didn't look like he's joking at all when he says this.

"What?!" Diethart was taken aback.

"Nobody says ZERO has to be 'a person,' does it? He can be a group of people, an organization, a symbol, and in familiar terms, he's just a 'character'. It doesn't matter who plays him, as long as they share the same philosophy, they can call themselves ZERO. ”

I see, in this way, ZERO has become a kind of immortal and immortal existence, even if it is caught by the Empire, it can be denied, and let the next ZERO continue the unfinished business.

ZERO is not a "human", he is just an idea under that mask.

The flesh can ruin miè, but the idea is immortal! Britannia can extinguish the rebellion, but it can never extinguish the fire in the hearts of the people! In this sense, ZERO is invincible!

"I see." Diethardt said admiringly. "It's a brilliant idea."

"Don't dare to be. So, is there anything you'd like to say to ZERO? ”

Diethard took out another document from the briefcase beside him and pushed it towards Ilan. Ilan took it and quickly flipped through it.

"Hmm····· Saitama? Another market settlement? ”

A few days ago, the military department designated Saitama as a media control zone, and this document is a mandatory evacuation notice issued by the military to HITV.

"'The military is not responsible for any casualties caused by the untimely evacuation of Party B, and is hereby announced. In addition, the date of withdrawal of the control is uncertain, and the specific time will be notified separately. ’······ Well? ”

Ilan's gaze locked on the official seal in the lower right corner of the notice, and his brow furrowed.

That's the special seal of the Governor of the Eleventh District!

"Who is it?"

"Not sure." Diethart knew what he was asking. However, some colleagues said that martial law at Tokyo Airport a few days ago was due to the landing of a special plane of the imperial family. Judging from the timing, it is exactly the day after the establishment of District 18, so it seems that the new governor of District 11 may be ······ Her Royal Highness the Second Princess. ”

“······ Cornelia, it's going to be harder than Cullovis right now. Really, just sent away a lightweight, and directly came a super heavyweight, not even excessive. ”

Elan pursed her lips and looked up at the ceiling.

"Saitama, I see······ Mr. Lead, it looks like we're going to be working overtime. ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Suzaku stood in the palatial office of the Governor's Palace, sandwiched between two soldiers with guns, quite a bit of Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, and was a little overwhelmed.

The girl sitting behind his desk across from him was similarly a little reserved.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"You can go down." The girl with long pink hair nodded to the soldier.

“YES！ YOURHIGHNESS！ ”

The two soldiers touched their heels and turned to leave.

YOUHIGHNESS？

Could it be that this girl is actually the princess of Britannia?

"That, Mr. Suzaku, ah no! Mr. Shuki. The Japanese put their surnames first, right? My sister isn't here now, so I'll do it... Anyway, do you want something to drink? The girl said incoherently.

"Excuse me, are you ······"

"Ah, by the way, introduce yourself, Euphemia Li Britannia. You can just call me Yufie. ”

Yuphimia put her hands on the table, and she was not so nervous even in front of strangers. But now it was different, this was the first time she had been questioned as a lieutenant governor, and she did not know how to exercise this right, so she could only force a majestic gesture.

Suzaku's face instantly became a little unsightly.

Sure enough, it was the princess, the sister of the cullovis······

"Does your arm still hurt?" Yufimia misunderstood the reason for Suzaku's stinky face and asked with concern.

"Huh?"

"Could it be that the pureblood faction..."

"No, it was injured while in Shinjuku." Suzaku saw that the concerned look on the other party's face did not seem to be disguised, and he was a little confused for a while.

"I'm really sorry!" The girl stood up suddenly, and bowed to Suzaku. "I can't compensate you for anything, but ······ Now that my sister is here, this will never happen again! ”

Is this girl really a princess?

Suzaku looked at the girl who bent down and apologized in amazement.

“······ Really, won't that happen again? Is it true that something like that in Shinjuku will never happen again? ”

The girl looked up at Suzaku in confusion.

"Shinjuku?"

"Yes, massacre." Suzaku gritted his teeth and said those two words.

"Massacre?" The girl was taken aback. "No, no, Shinjuku's military operation is to find hijacked chemical weapons."

"Do you still want to lie to me······ Suzaku's fists clenched involuntarily. "I was there, I saw it with my own eyes, Jeremia admitted it himself, there were no chemical weapons at all! That's just a façade! Even if all the people of Shinjuku are killed, it can be said that it is a cover for a poison gas leak! ”

"However, the report is clear..."

Reported? I see.

"So you don't know? Or did you care about those people at all, Your Highness Princess?! ”

Poison gas or massacre, what difference does that make to her? It wasn't her people who died anyway, Eleven was just a number in their eyes.

[Does a murderer also feel pain? 】

That's right.

How could this kind of lady in the ivory tower understand the pain of those who died.

As royalty, how could they...

"Enough!"

The door behind him was slammed open, and a dark purple figure walked in quickly. Conelia waved her hand, and the attendants on both sides immediately rushed up to hold Suzaku and dragged her out the door.

"Sister! You are! ”

Yufimi** chased after him in a hurry, and as soon as he ran to the door, he was stopped by Cornelia reaching out.

"The Shinjuku thing is a conspiracy of ZERO, and so is that eleven, and everyone was deceived by him."

"What the hell is going on in Shinjuku?!"

"I'm investigating, don't worry, we'll be able to ask the terrorist in person in two days." Cornelia comforted her.

"But what exactly is the slaughter he is talking about..."

"There's nothing like that. You don't need to know what you don't know. Cornelia snapped.

Guildford, who was on the side, also stepped forward to help Euphemia to the side, and the girl gradually calmed down.

"That's why you won't let me watch the news?"

"ZERO IS A LIAR, THE ENEMY WHO KILLED CULLOVIS, ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT. When I catch him, the truth will naturally be revealed. Guildford. Cornelia didn't want to say more, and motioned for the knight to go with her.

"Yes."

Guildford glanced at Euphemia, whispered sorry, and hurried to catch up with the furious Conelia.

Shinjuku?

Slaughter?

Swindle?

What the hell is this······

Looking at her sister's distant back, the girl fell into a daze for a while.
