After successfully smashing up the business, Ilan was unsurprisingly treated coldly and violently by his brother. It wasn't until dinner that Lelouch came back to his senses, sighed, and adjusted his mind to listen to his brother's apology.

"Say it."

"Huh?" White Fur raised his head with bread in his mouth. "What?"

"Your explanation."

"I was wrong."

Ilan said insincerely, with a clear expression saying that he would do this if he was given another chance.

"What are you going to say?"

"Tell me the truth. I killed Gao Hai, ZERO came forward to apologize, and the world was peaceful. ”

Lelouch was angry.

This is already blatantly going to wipe his ass himself!

"What if they want ZERO to hand over someone?"

"Who? Gao Hai? ”

"You!"

Yilan wiped his mouth and motioned to Sakushi on the side to serve tea.

"Laibei."

"You confess to me! True! One! Dot! ”

Lelouch's temples jumped suddenly, and he raised his hand to slap the table and suddenly froze in the air, his eyes drifting to Nanali's door, and he finally held back.

He sat back in his chair with a huff, his chest heaving slightly, his lips pursed.

The beam is bigger.

Without federal assistance, Japan's hardware reconstruction will be delayed for ten years, and most importantly, what will it use to feed these 150 million people?

Freedom is not food, food is the foundation of political power.

It's good if the Federation can cover this matter, and give a few more points of Sakurashi quota to fool around. But if it is really announced as a diplomatic event······ Aid negotiations will not be able to open again in a few years, and they will always have an excuse to stick their necks.

"Ann, I'll clean up the basket I poked." Ilan held the teacup and waved his hand.

"Haven't you done enough scourge?" Lu Lu snorted and pressed his forehead.

"There's a Plan B."

"The military attaché?"

"Exactly." Elan gave a thumbs up, trying to give his brother confidence.

Let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor······

Lelouch rubbed his lien and looked up tiredly.

"Li Xingke... What are you going to do with him? ”

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

After a long silence, Xingke finally spoke.

"The Son of Heaven... Grace with me. ”

"Ha, that's right. In the end, it's just my own careful thinking. Anyway... Lai, do you know why I was able to go from having nothing to covering the sky with one hand in less than half a year in Japan? ”

"Your Excellency's wisdom and courage are better than mine."

"You're no worse than me in intelligence, and as for bravery, isn't it good if it's enough? It's too strong, but it becomes a dragon-slaying technique. I even have an identity to see the light of death, which is much better than me. So why, after so many years, you can only hide in the shadows, surrender your identity and eunuch the party? ”

"The population of federal lands is by no means comparable to that of a numbered district, and although terrorist activities are small and large, they have their limits. In the land of the Federation, which has hundreds of millions of reserve soldiers, the peasant uprising is categorically unable to become a climate, and it is just a needless poison to the people. ”

"It's not my question, I'm asking what makes us different."

“······”

"We're all doing things that lose our heads, we're not in it for power, we're all lying, acting. The reason I've been able to get this far is just to be honest with myself. I know what I want, I want revenge, I want to kill everyone who betrayed my mother, I want to clean up the world. In this way, all the qiē is nothing more than foreshadowing. And you are talking about the world in your mouth, and you dare not admit the little Jiujiu in your heart. You... Tied himself up.

You're running out of time, think clearly, what exactly do you want? ”

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

"He's going to rebel? In the Federation? Lelouch's brows furrowed, obviously unsure of the level of this revolutionary. What was he going to do? ”

"Through Gao Hai's infiltration of the high-level, he weaved a net within the interior to collect the royalists. When the time comes, the decapitation tactics will be carried out, the eunuchs will be killed, and the court and the opposition will be purged. Suppress the imperial court in a short period of time and keep the chaos to a minimum. ”

Lelouch pinched his chin and pondered for a moment.

"If it's fifteen or thirty years, it's not impossible."

If it is just to control the imperial court, it will not take so long, the problem is the military power.

How to recover the military power scattered within the territory is a big problem, and this matter must be carried out at lightning speed. If you want to get a hint of news for those generals... As long as one out of ten warlords is reversed······ The Federation is finished.

"Chaos" is a contagious disease.

He must have the support of the military, at least the face of the military to stand up and show support for him at the first moment of his uprising, and at least a small number of people must take the lead.

It's a long-term process, and it requires a lot of power, bottomless money, charisma, and connections. It's not surprising that it took half a century to scrape together all of this.

"It's hard to say if that guy has been in five years."

"Huh?" Lelouch didn't understand.

"His body has begun to be unable to hold on, if he is lucky, he will hang up in ten years, and his character will be poor in three years."

In that case, why work with such a promishable tuberculosis ghost?

This kind of person······

Wrong.

"He's now... In a hurry? ”

Lelouch looked at Ilan thoughtfully.

Well, he knew, there wasn't enough time for him to climb that position. So..."

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

"I can give you what you want." Ilan sat down in a chair and put his fingers together. "Power, power, funds, status, you need to use it to get through the top of the Federation."

"How?" Xingke's expression did not change, and he seemed unmoved.

"I will appoint you as the only negotiator recognized by Japan, and from now on you will represent Sakurashi in the imperial court. I will give the Federation a certain share of the books, and the credit will be credited to you. As long as you can pass this hurdle, you will become a celebrity above the court overnight, and the civil and military officials will be lifeless to slap you, and the eunuchs will have to serve you well. Ten or twenty years of connections are at your fingertips. ”

"Indeed..."

Xingke held his chin and looked at the ground.

"As for the financial resources, I offer you two options———— hard currency, Sakuraishi. Soft currency, federal dollar. How to use it is your own business, and it is more than enough to get through the generals and buy the top brass of the army, which can catalyze and lubricate your plan. With these, in your lifetime..."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch." Starr interrupted him with a raised hand. "What do you want?"

"You should be able to guess, right?"

"I can't guess it." Xingke didn't want to fight with the other party at all.

It's really... Uninteresting guys.

Ilan pursed her lips and raised her chin at Gao Hai, who had passed out.

"There are nine left, and I want to live."

That makes sense, but... This deal is really too good a deal, no, this is simply a no-brainer deal, Xingke frowned instead.

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

"That's it?" Lelouch frowned in displeasure.

Packing and bloodletting for a big delivery?

When did this kid become so generous?

"How so." Ilan smiled and waved his hand. "I'm talking about this business."

"Business? The negotiators are dead, and now it's just the two of you writing blank checks to each other. That Li, maybe he will be cut off as soon as he lands when he goes back. ”

"Brother Huang, you have to have faith in him, this son is not a thing in the pool." The white hair decisively helped Xing Ke pat his chest.

"Have you learned to read aura?"

"Well, I'll read a little bit."

Ilan said and stroked with his thumb and forefinger pencils, and Lelouch's sarcasm was stuck in the cotton.

"In short, we don't have to wait for three years in the future in the Arab League, the Indochina Peninsula, and the Black Horse Divisions in Africa. If you hurry up, you will have results within a year. ”

"Explain."

Lelouch seemed to think of something, and the light in his eyes flashed, and his body sat up straighter.

"Our original plan was to wait three to five years for Japan to recover from this before trying to set up an overseas branch, right? According to the provisional constitution, we took in the refugees, and then recruited some of them to join the Black Knights, and after a period of training and brainwashing, they were secretly sent back to their hometowns along with some old members and political commissars to develop in the local area. ”

"Hmm."

Lelouch played with his fingers and listened attentively.

"But the plan has a very obvious weakness———— it relies too much on the individual abilities of these returnee groups. Even if we can guarantee the su zhì of the first generation members of the branch, the second generation and the third generation of the su zhì developed locally will show a diving decline. Moreover, under the surveillance of the empire, it is even more difficult to develop and grow. We even had to make a filing to go to the scene in person to wipe the butt of the branch when necessary, which would have been an unpleasant process of rushing around to fight the fire. ”

Lelouch sighed.

He was well aware that it would be easy to replicate Japan's success in other colonies. It is very likely that one field will be turned around and the other will be lost.

"So, what if we can get federal assistance?"

"The Confederation... Indeed, there are incomparable advantages. ”

"The Confederation has colonies in Africa and on all the islands of the Pacific, not to mention in Pan-Asia, and borders on imperial colonies except in the Americas. They could have quietly accepted some of the refugees from the neighborhood, trained on their own soil, and then fed back to the Black Knights.

In this way, it is almost possible to ensure a continuous supply of soldiers and the quality will not be lost. What's more, we can set up a backup branch in the territory of the federal colony, and hide it in the neighbor's house if the news is not right. Guarantee that the Empire will not be able to eradicate the Black Knights.

Once a terrorist organization has formed a certain size, the regular army will have to invest a hundred times the amount of money and manpower to contain the other side. The empire will soon be in an embarrassing situation of overarmament and no war to fight, and it is only a matter of time before it is dragged down. ”

If they can really get the help of the Federation, then their "global strategic terrorist activities" will be greatly accelerated.

The ideal is very plump······

It wasn't that they hadn't thought of it, but it was rejected after a few minutes of discussion.

It's very simple, paper can't hold the fire, or it won't be long before the empire will find out about the small actions of the Federation, and it will be difficult to ask for it, and it will be heavy to blame... It is not impossible to wage a war of annihilation.

borrowed a hundred dares from the eunuchs, and they didn't dare to play this one.

This dawn star ······

"Does he dare?"

"Even doing such a thing as rebellion against the Nine Clans, isn't it a good job to help train a few terrorists?" Ilan said as a matter of course.

"Can he do it? Seizure of power? ”

"I think it's fine." Ilan shrugged. "This person's mind is no less than you and me, and his martial arts are not inferior to Shumu. It's just... It's just a little unenlightened like that elm head. Now it seems that I have figured it out, and I have backers and capital chains, probably... Hmm······ Next year, the federation will be able to change the sky. ”

The mind is no less than that of you and me? This kind of evaluation came out of Bai Mao's mouth, which was enough to move Lu Luxiu.

What's wrong with the world?

Has the genius started mass production?

"That's why it's a great time." Ilan held the teacup and sighed with happiness. "Life is not long, ambitious, shy, low-status, close to the center of power, and there is a handle in our hands. There is no second such potential stock in a thousand years. ”

"So you bought it before you even had time to discuss it with me?"

"Anla, Anla, it sounds like a big deal, but it's actually a short-term one, and I promise that I can cash out within a year."

Lelouch pondered for a moment.

If that's the case, it's a good deal that comes back once in a thousand years. But the risk factor is quite large, and almost all the capital is gambled on Li Xingke alone.

Now is the most dangerous time.

It is impossible to predict how he will be treated when he returns, if he is imprisoned, executed... And if he fails······

"I'll have to give him another ride."

Lelouch whispered to his eyebrows.

"I've already packed the gift for him."

Yilan smiled happily when he saw that the imperial brother had finally accepted the proposal.

Lelouch looked at his brother's smile and felt an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

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

"India."

Yilan silently apologized to the royal brother in his heart.

"India?" It took half a second for Xing Ke to react. "Tianzhu Province?"

"Yes, the imperial court has noticed it somewhat, right? The place has been getting more and more restless lately. ”

"Please also make it clear."

Ilan motioned for the other party to sit down, and Xingke hesitated for a moment, but still sat opposite Ilan.

Both sides understand that this move means that the negotiations have been successful, and the next step is the memorandum part.

"Not so long ago, representatives of India's independence forces sat in the same chair you are sitting on. They were intrigued by Japan's revolutionary experience, hoping to be guided by the Black Knights, and even ZERO to take control of the Indian Revolution himself.

According to the words of their representatives, 'If the uprising is successful, ZERO will be a Buddha for hundreds of millions of people, and it will be chanted for all generations.' The Republic of India and Japan are fraternal states, advancing and retreating together, coexisting and dying'. ”

It is no secret that Tianzhu Province has anti-intentions.

The two are neither literary nor religious, neither intermarriage nor religion, and the ability to maintain the status quo is a miracle produced by the ethnic character of the Hindustani. For any famous race in the world, it has been unveiled one hundred and twenty times.

Although they are still relatively mild in non-violent non-cooperation, the imperial court is still wary of this group of people, and guards them like a flood and a fierce beast. There is no other reason———— there are so many Indians, hundreds of millions more than the Han Chinese, and they are gathered in such a crowded subcontinent, how can it be reassuring.

Now that the speculation has become a fact, they are really doing things behind their backs.

If you can return to the Federation with this list, you will be able to solve the great trouble of the imperial court······

I see.

If you don't say anything about protecting yourself, you can still reach the sky in one step.

"It's not going to be given to you all at once." Both of them know each other's thoughts, and Ilan doesn't beat around the bush. "It takes time for us to ask, and you also need to hang on to the appetite of the court and use this process to stabilize your position."

"I understand below." Xing carved arched his hand.

"Deal?"

"Yes."

Once the stakes are clearly considered, Xingke does not pretend to be reserved, and readily agrees.

Elan let out a long sigh of relief and leaned limply back in her chair.

"Within fifteen days, I need the first wave of aid to get to the shore, mainly food. Next, Japan needs a large number of engineering facilities, smelting equipment, technicians, etc., etc., etc., more on that later. In short, the ship docked, unloaded, loaded with cherry stones, and returned to China, everyone was happy, it was as simple as that. So······ Please take care of yourself, and you will not be accompanied. ”

Ilan stood up and stretched, bent down to pick up one of Gao Hai's legs, leaned forward, and dragged out of the room with some difficulty. Gao Hai's face pulled a line of blood on the ground, and he snorted unconsciously in pain.

"Disband, disband! What should you do, what are you going to do! Don't look at what you shouldn't! Whoever is that, give a hand. ”
