Inside a low-key bulletproof sedan, Elan lifted the curtains and propped her chin on, observing the city through fifteen-centimeter-thick bulletproof glass.

There are no cars on the road, so Ilan's car is very arrogant and drives in the middle of the road with the yellow line. The transportation system is still paralyzed.

Until they chose to surrender to Japan, or until the two countries finally agreed on an evacuation plan, the Britannians limited their activities to the concession.

Surrender to Japan is clearly an option that is not popular with most people. It's become a world they don't know. The pride of being a citizen of the empire also made it difficult for them to accept the fact that they were ruled by a group of Orientals who were once defeated by their former subordinates.

Japan has shown an open attitude on the issue of bringing the Britannians home: there are no problems, you can get them back as long as you want, no strings attached. Let's draw up a plan, you send a fleet to pick up people, and you are not allowed to make small moves.

Then the problem arises, the reaction of the empire is not very enthusiastic———— millions of people are in their hands, and it is simply natural to take the opportunity to slander the empire. Ripping people sounds dirty, but it is a normal method in the international arena, and the empire itself is a master of it. Japan's arrogant attitude made them wonder if there were unclean things in these millions of people, after all, the fact that there was Britannia in the Black Knights has long been known to the world, and the destruction of archives some time ago made the empire almost certain of this.

Secondly, the negotiations on the exchange of hostages ended on the first day of the conference process with the representatives of both sides tearing their faces.

When the Imperial Representative got the first draft of the plan, he kept sneering and shaking his head, and threw it back under the nose of the Japanese without even looking at the contents, as if the boss had called back his plan.

The nature of this plan is a "bilateral agreement", and it is printed on the letterhead. If the empire signed this agreement, it would represent that the empire recognized Japan's status as an "independent state", which is obviously unrealistic. Under pressure from the Empire, no country in the world now recognizes Japan, and the current rhetoric is still that of a "rebellious regional armed force."

The imperial civil official only said one word, "change".

The Japanese have always given people the appearance of extreme humility, but inside they hide another diametrically opposite attribute———— extreme arrogance.

Japan, which is at the peak of its cult of personality, has inherited the character of ZERO, a man who has completely awakened the hidden personality in their blood, and this Japanese representative is no exception.

His answer was only one word.

“WHY？”

"District 11 is not a foreign policy, it is an internal affair."

At the moment of the exit of "Area 11", the Japanese representative completed the beastification, crawled over the table with red eyes, grabbed the other party's collar, and spitted at the other party's face and roared.

"You say it again!! There's a kind of you say again in District 11?!! Say!! I speak English with this accent, and if I don't understand it, it should be because you are particularly mentally retarded! This is Japan! Does the United States of Japan understand!! Find a white pig who understands Japanese to talk to me!! ”

Staff on both sides managed to drag him off his desk before the Japanese representative could complete the suicide attack.

ZERO LEARNS THAT HE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND ARRIVES TO QUESTION, AND AFTER LISTENING TO THE STATEMENTS OF BOTH PARTIES, HE SINKS FOR A MOMENT AND TURNS TO LOOK AT THE BRITANNIAN OFFICIAL.

"Do you hear that? Someone who can speak Japanese is another one. ”

Turn around and leave without waiting for an answer.

The entourage behind him hurriedly wrote down this passage in the small notebook, and his hands trembled excitedly, this is tomorrow's headline!

Our new master, that's really hard!

In any case, the evacuation plan was put on hold for the time being, and the Britannians of the concession fell into a deep state of disappointment.

Japan's independence is a fact, even a blind person can see it. Now that Japan has said that there is no problem in releasing people, there are millions of people waiting for the ship of the motherland, the empire, why can't it let go of this face?

Even admit that this is a disputed area and pick us up!

The feeling of abandonment gripped the residents of the concession.

But life went on, and after the first weeks of fear, the Britanans gradually returned to the streets to receive relief. In this area where the imperial currency was abolished, the pound sterling was waste paper, and the only way to subsidize families and earn a new yen with the black Knights' logo was to engage in public service, and seniority was preferred. After a brief and awkward period of "equal coexistence" with the Japanese, the livelihood of many Britannians was finally settled. Led by them, more and more Britanans began to work for the new Japanese government.

Ilan saw that not far from the school gate, the hot dog stand he usually frequented had opened again. It's still the same Japanese, it's still the usual position, the difference is that the smile on the boss's face is less flattering and more proud. The signboard was marked with a very infringing slogan————His Royal Highness Yilan said it was delicious!"

Japan··· Maybe it's a good country······ Even if it's based on a lie······

The car had arrived at the station, and the ponytail man, who had been waiting here, stepped forward and helped him open the door.

In front of him is a luxurious office building with 30 floors, which is the temporary parliament forcibly requisitioned by the Black Knights.

Of course, it is impossible to live here for a long time, and how can Congress, a national symbol, be so casual, and the construction of a new Capitol has been listed as one of the top priorities of the United States. The Cullowis Stadium, which sits on the site of the former Capitol, has been toppled as an important part of the propaganda, and a new Capitol building will soon be erected from the ruins.

"Deputy Commander, long time no see." Diethart smiled, never mentioning Elan's new identity.

"Mr. Lead, long time no see." Ilan patted him on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, I'm going to let you do something that has nothing to do with the news again."

Some people say that media people are more familiar with politics than politicians, and this is true. Especially the leader in the industry like the ponytail man, who has been crawling and rolling all year round, has long felt this pool of troubled waters. He understands Japan, he understands the Empire, and he understands the Black Knights, these qualifications made him picked by the big bosses at a glance, and he was tossed here for a month by ZERO to drive ducks to the shelves, and now he is like the most sophisticated politician in the world.

"Do you like it here or the news? You can stay if you want. ”

"Spare me." Diethardt scratched his nose and smiled awkwardly. "There is no end to politics, and most of the time there is no result, like biting your own tail and spinning in circles for a lifetime. What I want is a 'work'. ”

"But that's right, isn't it?"

The pony-tailed man shook his head.

"'Rights' are an empty word, not a material thing. The size of the power represents how many people support you and with what kind of process. 'People' is the right, and the media is the tool to manipulate people's hearts, and public opinion is the 'real power'. ”

Ilan stopped on the steps and looked back at him in some surprise.

“··· If you had been smarter, Mr. Lead, I'd have to have someone prepare your Plan B. ”

The deputy commander laughed. The ponytail shrugged, knowing that the so-called Plan B was a record to eliminate hidden threats. "That's what I've learned these days."

Ilan shook his head with a smile and pressed the elevator.

"What do you want to do when you come down?"

"Of course, it's the old job."

"Public opinion has reached its peak, and all that remains is public opinion insulation, anyone can do it, this kind of work is too condescending, right?"

"Publicity. Now the Black Knights have a signboard and a slogan, and Japanese independence is our best advertisement. Diethardt followed Elan into the elevator. Propaganda is our only and most powerful weapon, when war is almost impossible on Japanese soil, but the strength of foreign troops is insufficient. ”

"Is there a plan?"

"I prepared a draft." With that, he handed over the text jiàn clip that was clipped under his armpit.

This guy actually came prepared.

"By the way, this is the real purpose of your visit to me, right?" Ilan pursed her lips, took out her glasses from her bosom and put them on the bridge of her nose, and flipped through the plan.

The frontispiece depicts in detail the current world-shaped shì, the energy contained in the humanoid symbol ZERO, and the direction of world public opinion. Next is the speech that ZERO will give, the content of the speech, how to divert the world's attention to the rest of the numbered areas, and even the outline of the speech. There is no doubt that these statements will exacerbate the revolt in the remaining Numbered Districts, which they have rightfully no chance of winning against the Empire. After being suppressed again and again, and being baptized in blood again and again, the hatred between the two sides will deepen to a critical point. At the same time, they will also understand the most important truth———— this thing cannot be done without ZERO. It won't be long before they turn to the Black Knights for help to lay a solid foundation for their own armed intervention and the next step of the revolution.

When he stepped out of the elevator, Ilan had already taken a rough look. Closing the above jiàn, Ilan stood silently at the elevator door as if thinking about something.

"Is there anything wrong with the plan?" The ponytail man hurriedly asked.

"Nope."

The royal brother didn't tell him about this······

"This... Did you show ZERO? ”

"Not yet, the commander-in-chief is so busy these days that he doesn't have time at all. Just as you recover today... Deputy Conductor? ”

Ilan looked at him strangely for a moment, then suddenly sighed.

"Mr. Lead, I don't care if others do this, I should know that they may be unintentional, but you are different. You're a person who understands, and you do it on purpose. Mr. Lead, you... It's taking sides. ”

"I..." Diethardt was agitated, but couldn't say anything to refute it.

"I understand you, you are the one I pulled into the organization, you have always been my informant, you can talk to me more than ZERO, you trust me more. But... It's different now, rules are rules, this kind of plan kind of thing ZERO's right to know is one level more priority than me, you should be the commander-in-chief of the Prophet's Society, right? ”

"I was negligent."

"If you're in ZERO's shoes, you learned about it... Do you think that there are people in the organization who are doing small groups? ”

Diethardt looked down at the tips of his shoes, a slight cold sweat breaking out from the tip of his nose.

Ilan looked at him, feeling that it was almost time to stop at the point, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and handed Wen Jiàn back to him.

"Alright, let's get down to business, where are the people from the Federation?"

"Here."

The ponytail led him to a wide door.

"Searched?"

"Yes, no weapons."

"Well, I'll be alone, you can go and get busy. Ah, yes..."

Elan put his hand on the doorknob and suddenly stopped him again.

"Show your proposal to ZERO, and say I've approved it."

The pony-tailed man was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and he hurriedly withdrew after thanking him.

The moment he turned around, Ilan's face had darkened.

His lips were tightly pursed, the aluminum alloy doorknob was almost pinched and sunk in, he took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in with heavy steps.

There was a man in the conference room, and a eunuch.

Yilan's gaze swept over Gao Hai's face, as if he didn't want to stay for a second and hurriedly turned away, wrinkled his nose, and there was undisguised disgust in his eyes.

The other is obviously much more eye-catching, a handsome young man with long hair hanging down and a slender figure.

Li Xingke.

According to the information, he was a military attache at the Federal Consulate in Tokyo, but there is no other record of him, and he is an insignificant role. But after only looking at each other for a second, Ilan noticed something different about him.

This guy... Like himself, he is an anomalous being among human beings.

The definition of strength is how much a person can sacrifice to him······

He also sacrificed a lot.

He sacrificed things that ordinary people could not imagine, in order to get... What the?

"You're dying?" Ilan asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency." The young man stepped forward, hugged his fists and gave a salute, and the whole person was instantly full of heroism. "In Xia Li Xingke, it is the escort of the adult's trip. This is..."

Ilan raised his hand to stop Gao Hai, who was decorating his smile and preparing to answer, his eyes never looked in his direction from beginning to end.

It was a monumental moment to communicate in his native language for the first time in eight years, and he did not want the name of a eunuch to stain his mouth. ”

"What kind of kung fu do you practice?"

"The crude martial arts passed down from the family are not enough to worry about. When I was a child, I was fortunate to have the guidance of the first emperor for three days, and I still benefit immensely, and I can understand a lot every time I think about it. The creation of the first emperor has entered the holy realm, and when the vacuum is extinct, even if the reincarnation of the overlord of Western Chu can only be expected. ”

After that, the young man bowed his hands like the edge of the sky, respecting the emperor from afar.

Ilan's stinky face finally showed a slight smile, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Three days, huh? How many are broken? ”

"What do you say?" Li Xingke asked with polite confusion.

"Bones."

Comprehending this niche entertainment, the youth smiled heartily, and the official tone was also accepted.

"The bones are not broken, but the root of this body fell in those three days."

Mother··· You seem to have killed someone indirectly, and the victim is right in front of your eyes······

Ilan scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

His own son can break dozens of bones, and the weight of attacking him can be imagined.

"Your qualifications are mediocre, and you are not suitable for martial arts. Overdraft life is too much, and the gods can't save it, no wonder others. ”

It is not forcibly excused for mothers, it is true.

A person's talent is geometric, and those who have practiced this kind of Cheng dù can know it at a glance. At first glance, this person has broad shoulders and narrow waist, long hands and long feet, and seems to be a good piece of material. But a closer look reveals that this is the model's figure, which is too fragile for martial arts. Bone density, muscle mass, cell activity, regeneration rate, the upper limit of these things are all determined by genes and cannot be changed no matter how hard you work.

If you change to Suzaku's boy, it looks unremarkable, but you beat him to the point that he is not human, and he throws him to the side of the road like a rag, and it seems that he will not be alive anymore, but after three days, he will be able to stand in front of you with a new look.

How much damage you can take, and how quickly you can recover after that, directly determines how much you can learn from it.

The guy in front of him must be dragging the sick body crazy to practice, not giving himself time to breathe. It is true that martial arts are getting stronger and stronger, but the body is not as good as day by day.

Until today, it is on the verge of collapse.

What exactly does he want at the cost of this?

"Thanks for mentioning, I know that. It's just a matter of eating the king, being loyal to the king, the eldest husband should practice martial arts and defend the country, how can he prevaricate with a weak sentence. ”

"You're a loyal servant."

"Nature."

Ilan raised an eyebrow.

Although anyone can say the words of the scene, these few sentences, which Ilan's human polygraph can determine, are from the bottom of his heart. And his respect for his mother is not like a fake, so he is even more puzzled, why is this Li Xingke messing with the eunuchs?

This guy must have a scripture of his own in his heart.

"Loyal ministers? Or..." Ilan hugged his arms and pointed with his thumb at Gao Hai, who had been hanging on the side for a long time. “··· A loyal dog of the eunuchs? ”

The stiff smile on Gao Hai's face collapsed instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he finally couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure.

"My lord, where is this, the old slave has been in the palace since he was a child, and now he has served the Son of Heaven for nearly forty years, and his loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon. My lord, this kind of joke can be..."

"I'm talking to people." I had a good chat with Li Xingke just now, but as soon as Gao Hai spoke up, Yilan's expression was wrong. "Who told you to interject?! Who gave you the guts?! ”

Gao Hai has been in the palace all the year round, even if the Son of Heaven sees him, he will be afraid of him, how can he ever be scolded like this. The self-cultivation was not high, and the eunuch suddenly jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on. Pointing at Ilan's nose and scolding, the shrill voice almost piercing the roof.

"Shaft! Scoundrels! Treacherous! Pickled and poured! In the small land of the East Ying Kingdom, there was a little noise, and I really thought you were Liu Bang?! Thieves with troops! The old body came thousands of miles to this down-and-out bird island, and talked to you with good intentions, how could he summon the humiliation of you, a white-eyed wolf, for no reason?! Your empire doesn't accept strings of goods that the Federation doesn't keep! is worthy of being the king of the land here! Let's not talk about it! Let's not talk about it! Starving to death you, the three slaves surnamed are the most pure! ”

Three surnames of domestic slaves?

Skewers?

It's fresh and a little interesting. The eunuch's scolding is really poisonous, and it doesn't take the same with the same.

"Want to talk? OK. ”

Yilan didn't quarrel with him, slowly walked to the side, pulled an armchair and sat in front of Gao Hai, and raised Erlang's legs with a big golden knife.

"Here."

Ilan gestured to the floor in front of him.

"Kneel down and speak."

Gao Hai was completely enraged, and originally wanted to pry open the other party's mouth by agitation, but now he finally can't keep his sanity anymore.

He uttered the four words he regretted most in his life.

"What are you?! The old man has already put down a hundred and twenty faces when he talks to you here! Kneel?!! Do you really think you're a prince? Don't talk about your miscellaneous ugliness, even the old body of the Son of Heaven has never knelt! Throwing a brick in Luoyang City can kill nine dragon species, and the prince and princess are not worth a penny! If your old lady hadn't relied on her old body to carry her to the Nine Dragons throne, she wouldn't know who she was marrying as a concubine!

Emperor? Royal family? Dragon species? Hahahaha! It's not worth lifting shoes for the old body! What the hell!

The old body said it today!

Mother and maid too!

Mother! The maid is also !! ”
