Katase was sitting in the middle of the hall, and Ilan was sitting across from him three steps.

Seventeen or eighteen younger brothers behind him were lined up, looking a little old, they should be the horns with heads and faces in the liberation front, and Fujitang and the Four Holy Swords were also among them, sitting with their hands on their knees, their movements were neat and uniform, and they were very imposing.

That's how Japanese underworld bosses met before, right?

I don't know if the Japanese soldiers like to put on this kind of posture with the corners of their mouths and their eyebrows tightly locked to make a majestic appearance, or if they just look at themselves unpleasantly, Ilan always feels that these people are looking at him with a constipated look.

Katase didn't say a word, just sat with Ilan's big eyes.

What's the situation?

Are you still obsessed with the matter of the grass wall?

“piz・・・piz・・・”

Fan whispered in the back to summon the second master.

Yilan turned around and saw that the two of them were sitting upright, and even Yucheng had a stern expression at this time, and his eyes were level, like a chilling cicada.

"Ahh Ilan finally figured out what the problem was. "My knees aren't very good."

As he spoke, he put away his two long legs, which were very provocative in the eyes of the other party, and sat cross-legged.

I just thought that there was no sofa and no chair, so how could I talk about business. But they forgot about this kind of occasion, especially if the other party is still a former soldier, they prefer this kind of Yamato male sitting position. Or rather, kneeling?

"Really, I have a broken cruciate ligament, and I have a little problem with my meniscus, and I can't bend it when I was young, and Mr. Fujido can testify."

All the bigwigs turned their heads to look at Fujitang in unison.

Fujitang's eyes jumped, and he had no choice but to nod.

Why do you say it as if I had touched your knee・・・・・・

"So you have to take off your shoes, right? Ahh But this kind of room, uh, or a show? You can't wear shoes, right? It's... I've been telling the guy who designed the costume a long time ago, this kind of clothes that lack roots..."

“ZERO。” Katase couldn't help it. "You're not Japanese, are you?"

"Hmm." Ilan nodded very dryly.

Although Katase was fixed, the younger brothers behind him talked about it.

"Then why are you helping Japan?"

"Help Japan? No..." Ilan shook his head, correcting his statement. "I'm helping the Japanese. It has nothing to do with history and humanities, I just want to help 'people'. ”

"Hmph, anarchists?"

"That's a hippie." Ilan shrugged. "Government is a necessity, no matter how you look at it, government is the crystallization of human civilization, the perfect way to guide it forward with human energy, even if it contains 'compulsion' in the process. But without the existence of this coercive force, then mankind is probably still in the Stone Age. The so-called 'government' is not a means, but a result, an inevitable product of the evolution of intelligent organisms. If I had to say, I would be an 'anti-racist'. So I want to help Japanese people who are being racially persecuted. ”

These words were said seamlessly, and everyone was silent when they heard it, but Fujitang nodded secretly in his heart.

"So, you also help the Britannians?"

Katase's eyes narrowed.

I see, the matter of the grass wall cannot be mentioned. I want to breathe out from a different angle. In their opinion, whether it was right or wrong, it was ZERO who interfered in their household affairs.

"General Katase, I'm not here to stir up disputes. I don't want to meddle in your internal affairs, this time Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe's matter is because he threatens the safety of the Black Knights. Elan sighed. I know that you are skeptical of my ideas, just as I am not 100% in favor of the ideas of the Japanese Liberation Front. But as a rebel group, the enemy is also the empire, and I think we can seek common ground while reserving differences and make progress together. ”

"So, you think we're doing something wrong?"

How much do you want to fight・・・・・・

I've said that I'm here to seek common ground while reserving differences・・・・・・・

"There's no right or wrong, I just don't think your organization is doing what you can do to maximize your existing capabilities."

"I want to hear about it."

"As this incident has exposed, Britannia has planted an eyeliner in your organization. I'm afraid you've already noticed that the organization isn't clean. Imagine a nationalist rebellion group composed entirely of soldiers, whose members are still at risk of being rebelled, and this illustrates a lot. It's not that the members of your organization aren't strong-willed, just that it's unavoidable.

Is it safe for your organization to go to a grass wall? No, there will be the next one. Maybe someone is hiding in the dormitory right now, using a telegram to inform the news that the military department ZERO is here. The failure of the many attacks on the Japanese Liberation Front was precisely the result of traitors obstructing them, and it is not your fault.

Human nature is not firm, and if we blindly insist on internal cleansing in order to be pure, it will cause people's hearts to turn their backs, paralyze the organization, and simply lose more than we gain, just like the current military department. The pressure on your organization has dropped dramatically recently, and you must have experienced this. ”

Kusakabe bowed his head and was silent, but listened very carefully. Everyone also looked thoughtful.

"But there are two sides to everything, and since they can stick a nail in us, there's no reason why we can't bury a stake in them, right? The Black Knights are only a hundred people, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to your organization, and the personnel are even more different. The reason why there were several near-miraculous results in the previous battles was precisely because of the ventilated information of the ghosts in the military headquarters. ”

"You have someone in the military department?!" Katase couldn't sit still, and looked at Ilan dumbfounded.

"Yes, there are people, more than one. That's why we can be one step ahead of the enemy, set a trap, and fight big with small.

Fighting a war is actually like doing business, and the reason why businessmen can make money is because of the asymmetry of information. As long as you can get the inside information, it is not impossible to sell it at a sky-high price.

Lieutenant Colonel Katase, if we want to defeat Britannia, we must put the people on our side. However, the actions and slogans of your organization have broken the goodwill of the Britannians, and the intelligence channels of your organization have been limited to the Japanese. Imagine, if you can obtain the enemy's intelligence before the war, plan and move, and use the strength of the Japanese liberation front to be a hundred times stronger than the Black Knights・・・・・・"

Strategize and win thousands of miles away. Talking and laughing, the captives are gone!

Katase looked at his slightly trembling hands, unable to imagine that he actually possessed such powerful energy.

It was a whole new world, and ZERO's words had opened up a blind spot in his thinking.

Information asymmetry, as long as this can be done・・・・・・

"And for the inner ghost of his own family, not only should he not be killed, but he should be well born and raised, and promoted appropriately, showing his trust in him, so..."

"Use the inner ghost to pass on false information!"

"Yes." Ilan nodded, the child can be taught.

"As long as we can use existing information to set up an ambush and then use false information to lead the enemy into a trap, it is not impossible to win a war with zero casualties. If yes..."

"Wait!"

Katase suddenly raised his hand to stop Ilan.

"Please come with me to the office." As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the younger brother behind him. "Fujido, you come too."

"Yes."

Fujido was named and answered, and the big horse golden knife stood up. But the rest of the people don't look very good.

Good! It's finally time to say goodbye to the floor!

Bai Mao said nice in his heart, and followed behind Katase with the two-yuan fierce general.

Katase looked at Tamaki and the fan, a little hesitant.

The good old man who knew him was about to speak, asking to wait elsewhere...

"It's okay, they're fine." Ilan said Major General, you can rest assured.

Yucheng's eyes were sour, and he said, "Second master!" "I almost didn't say anything.

Damn, I'm with the right person!

The two followed up in the office and had just sat down next to the boss, only to suddenly realize that something was wrong.

The "miracle Fujido" is standing behind Katase with his hands behind his back. As soon as the two of them were excited, they immediately got up again and stood honestly behind the sofa. 、

・・・・・・ was used to following the second master at will, and he didn't turn a corner for a while.

The three of them looked at each other, and they couldn't stop in mid-air.

"Would you like something to drink?"

I don't know if it's because I'm comfortable to sit on, or if I've changed my opinion of ZERO, Katase's mouth temperature is a lot warmer now.

"No, thank you."

Ilan tapped on his helmet and said helplessly.

"So, let's get back to what we just said. If we can't clean it, how can we find out the inner ghost? Katase leaned forward and asked impatiently.

"You don't have to find someone for sure. Major General: Have you ever heard of the division elimination method? ”

"Huh?"

"First divide the large army into two parts, and issue two sets of instructions respectively, of course, if it is a sensitive order, such as a sneak attack on the military headquarters, or the kidnapping of high-ranking officials, but it does not need to be carried out. See which directive Britannia gave feedback on. Then repeat this set until you draw a very small range. For example, the army of a certain school officer. When the time comes, just isolate them and check them one by one. But my advice should not be done in this way, as it may make the other person vigilant. Instead, they directly regard this unit as the inner ghost itself, and use them to deceive the enemy. ”

Katase nodded secretly.

It can minimize internal contradictions, and even find out the spies without anyone noticing・・・・・・

ZERO, sure enough, this man has a bit of a trick.

"Of course, the specific approach should depend on the situation, not necessarily divided into two groups, but it is better to divide into five or six groups. In order to paralyze the military headquarters, you can also give them some sweetness, so that they can successfully prevent a few sabotage and so on... Of course, what kind of means to take is the matter of the major general, I just proposed to build yì. ”

"NO, ZERO, YOUR BUILD YÌ IS VERY GOOD." Katase finally smiled a little, and his mood was very sunny now. Even began to fantasize about the liberation front biting the beautiful future of Britannia. "Under your leadership, the future of the Black Knights is bound to be limitless."

Ahra, finally put on the old man's face.

Then the next thing is probably ・・・・・・

"How? Join forces with us. Katase cocked Jiro's legs, his eyes full of appreciation.

・・・Solicitation ・・・・・・

"Of course, that's what I'm here for." Ilan nodded in affirmation. "But not in a fair and honest way."

"What do you mean?"

"We can tell from their desire to take advantage of the grass wall that Britannia is afraid of us joining forces. And when people are afraid, they will do a lot of irrational things. For example, they poured out of their nests to level Shinjuku and Narita Mountain, and suffered heavy losses from verbal and written attacks, but also nip the threat in the bud. ”

"Hmmm・・・・・・"

"Imagine that the Black Knights only have such a small number of people, so they forcibly circled two pieces of land, if there is the help of the Japanese Liberation Front, then it is not impossible to wave the flag and become independent. How could they not be afraid? ”

"Independence? Then why don't we..."

Ilan shook her head and stopped Katase's words.

"But what if you're independent? As soon as the country's troops arrive, within a week, the fiasco of seven years ago will be repeated. ”

Katase was hit in the sore spot, as if he remembered the scene of the year again, and the color of shame appeared on his face.

"The revolution is not an overnight thing, and if we fail, it will be a heavy blow to the anti-colonial movement all over the world, and it is likely that the resistance will crumble from then on, and we will become the trophies of Britannia hanging under the city gates, always to remind those who are against it."

"You're going to make all the numbered areas independent?!" Katase grew her mouth. 、

This guy is crazy?!

Ilan nodded.

"It is impossible for any colony to be independent alone, and the gap between us and the power of the empire is too great for the only way to confront it alone. Only when we all raise the anti-flag at the same time can we disrupt our own position. Let them have no idea where to start, and they can't take care of the end. Even Britannia could not attack 18 countries at once. ”

"What if he concentrates his firepower on them one by one?"

It was Fujido who spoke, and the man remained calm throughout.

"If Britannia wants to die, that's the best thing to do."

Elan stood up and walked to the world map at the back of the office.

"The remaining 17 colonies can take advantage of this opportunity to attack their own country. General, Lieutenant Colonel..."

Ilan paused, hoping they would concentrate on what was going on.

"I think everybody seems to be a little mistaken." He patted the map behind him. "The way we look at the map has fallen into a kind of misunderstanding. Such a big piece of red, which takes up half the world, looks scary, right? But... After removing 18 colonies, how big is it? ”

Ilan circled it with his fingers.

"That's all, Central North America. A plain, as far as the eye can see, can not be defended, although the depth is long, but there is nowhere to hide, there is no natural strategic barrier. The best place to play for mechanized troops. We may not be able to land enough troops by sea or air, but the same is true for Britannia, where the sea is in our hands.

The temptation of the country's heavy industry, which should be made at a low cost of production, has long since moved to the colonies, and now almost all industries that require human resources are in the numbered districts. That is to say, the supplies they need are in our hands.

Although the military industry is located in our own country, Sakuraishi, a resource that chokes the neck of the world, is under our feet. The production capacity of the domestic military industry, which has lost the supply of Sakuraishi, will wither in a short time, and when the time comes, they will surrender without fighting them.

That's right. Until then, they will have a counterattack. Pooling all the resources of the whole country and going bankrupt, the craziest counterattack was only for one goal -- Japan.

Only then, Rear Admiral Katase, will it be the time when we will stake all our possessions, our dignity, our lives, our future, everything.

As long as we can hold on, even if only for a while, for a few months, dragging the empire into the quagmire of a war of attrition, we win.

This is the last battle, not now.

Won, Britannia will fall, humanity will be free.

Losing ・・・・・・ isn't actually losing・・・・・・

The Chinese Federation will take over a qiē. ”

This is absolutely not allowed to happen.

・・・・・・・ of the Federal Republic of China

That's my country・・・・・・

That is the homeland where my mother will be laid to rest・・・・・・

I will never let the world I worked so hard for fall into the hands of those eunuchs.

"Actually, the most important part of the war, the formation, Britannia has already done for us. Major General, Lieutenant Colonel, please look at this map again and take a closer look at it with a different eye. Then, please tell me..."

Elan waved around the map with his hand.

"Aren't we, already besieging the Empire?"
