Finally, he was dragged into the world of tanks to cover his face

"The Chinese Federation?"

"Yes, but it's the Japanese flag." The officer in the communication replied.

"I see." Kamiyu nodded knowingly, signaling that he knew and said, "Tell the commander, you don't have to be so flustered. ”

"Do you want to run away with your tail between your legs?" C.C rested his chin on the backs of his clasped hands and said with a smiling expression.

Shikine Island is located in the Pacific Ocean, but it is only a dozen nautical miles away from Kyushu. In other words, this place is also within the attack range of the Chinese Federation, so it is no wonder that the base commander is so nervous.

"It may seem dangerous now, but the weather is equal for both sides." Kamiyu smiled at C.C.

That's right, the weather is the same for everyone. In such a harsh climatic environment, air strikes are almost impossible. Therefore, the invasion of the Chinese Federation could only rely on beach landings.

In the absence of a quick strike by the air force, the only action left by the opposing side was to quickly occupy the Empire's main military base in Kyushu and quickly establish a defensive position along the outer edge facing the island of Honshu.

"Although the transportation capacity at sea is huge, it loses the advantage of high mobility. Due to geographical constraints, it was already difficult for the Chinese Federation to establish an effective defense system before the imperial army could react. There was simply no time to bother with this inconspicuous maritime observation base, at least until the facts were established, and the invading forces of the Chinese Federation would not be able to free up their hands to wipe out the imperial forces in Kyushu. It is worthy of the Federal Republic of China, which is really a typical first fishing and then washing. ”

"Scoop up before you wash?" C.C was puzzled by this unfamiliar term.

"Well, fish first and then wash, a term invented by the Chinese Federation in a game called Go. It means to seize the ground first, and then go to break the enemy's general trend. Of course, unlike playing chess, such a strategy needs to be constrained by certain factors in reality. For example, "

"We're here!!"

Just then, an urgent news broke into the TV in the room. A middle-aged man with a grim face and as thin as a monkey was preaching loudly and solemnly.

"Orthodox independent sovereign state, Japan is rebuilt here!"

"Just like now," Kamiyu smiled at the TV, the man who was speaking, to be precise.

"It's boring." C.C turned his head boredly.

"It's really boring. But practical, isn't it? After saying that, Kamiyu closed his mouth knowingly and did not talk about it. He knew that C.C. was really not in the mood to talk about it.

[Well~~ For the Empire, the Chinese Federation, His Excellency Atsushi Sawazaki, and perhaps the Black Knights, this is a common trial. 】

The eunuchs of the Chinese Federation not only wanted to exclude dissidents, but also threw stones to ask for directions. If Cao Rui, the commander of the Liaodong Military Region who supported Sawazaki Atsushi's operation, successfully resisted the imperial counterattack and gained a firm foothold in Kyushu. The Chinese Federation does not mind getting involved in this matter completely and expanding the results of the war.

As far as the Empire is concerned, the next counterattack must not show the slightest hesitation, and must not drag on for too long. The consequences of being mistaken for a paper tiger by others are unimaginable.

Of course, Atsushi Sawazaki had no choice. And the Black Knights

Kamiyu wondered what choice this group of District-11 people would make in the face of such a huge temptation.

More precisely, he speculated from the Black Knights' reaction to whether Zero had absolute authority in the organization, and some of the common contradictions that might exist within the organization.

"If you don't cooperate with Atsushi Sawazaki, it's not an independent government, it's just a puppet regime supported by the Chinese Federation." Zero announced categorically to the Black Knights.

"But it's called Japan."

"Since it is a puppet, of course, it must be dressed in the cloak of orthodoxy. In other words, the name of District 11 was changed, and the owner was changed from Burnitania to the Chinese Federation. There is no future for such a regime. ”

"Huh? But in this way, do you sit idly by and ignore the military operations in Bunitania? Asahina asked in a strange yin and yang voice. Perhaps, in the hearts of these old Japanese military factions, even if it is just a puppet government, the weight is not light.

"Zero, I think it's important to make the organization's policy clear." Diethardt reminded in a whisper.

An organization without a clear purpose will not be able to unite people in the long run. At the very least, in his opinion, this course of action called 'Partners of Justice' is nothing more than a child's house wine, and almost no one who joins the Black Knights has ever truly believed in their hearts that Zero will carry it through.

[Although the time is still a little too early] Lelouch felt helpless in his heart. If possible, he would like to wait until a better time to make an announcement.

Does the Times Create Heroes or Heroes Create Eras?

For now, Lelouch feels like he's mostly in the former – even though he's been trying to change to the latter.

"Establish an independent state in Tokyo."

"Independence?"

"The country? Are you sure? Lelouch's unexpected answer surprised everyone.

Lelouch watched with satisfaction as everyone reacted. If you want to demagogue, you have to have gimmicks. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account what the people who are being encouraged really want in their hearts.

Although the eyes of these people were full of disbelief, it could be judged from their tone that there was an infinite expectation in the midst of fear.

[What an easy-to-see bunch.] Beneath the mask, Lelouch showed a sneer

"What's wrong? A gloomy look. Looking at Luca with a gloomy face on the screen, Kamiyu asked in surprise.

"It's my private business, I'll take care of it." Luca directly cut off the conversation.

When a person says this, it usually messes things up. However, since you are so insistent, I will not ask. Kamiyu shrugged his shoulders unconventionally.

"So, let's talk"

"Let's talk about the problems caused by your willfulness." Just then, the camera suddenly turns, and a smiling face appears on the screen.

"Eh" Kamiyu didn't expect that Honazel would appear at Luka, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

"That's about the Chinese Federation"

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Chinese Federation, this matter is already in the overall responsibility of me, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, and Cornelia, the Governor of District 11. What I want to talk about now is the arbitrariness that you have recently become less than talkative. Xiunaizel's smile was as good as ever, but what came out was an oppression that made Kamiyu feel flustered.

"That"

"Shikinejima is safe at the moment, and I will stay there honestly until the war is over." At this time, it is too conspicuous to have a ship sailing, and it is easier to show the horse's feet, so it is safer to stay in this inconspicuous base. So, Schunazel spoke directly.

"And while you're in this time, you'd better think about how to explain it to Cornelia."

Communication is turned off.

"Alas, what a difficult future," Camillo let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at C.C's position.

"Hey! How did you sleep here. ”

C.C was already curled up on the couch like a lazy cat.

"Aren't you going anyway? Where I sleep is my own business," C.C muttered without looking up.

"Really, each one is so willful."

"You're the only one in the right to say that."

Faced with C.C's rebuttal, Kamiyu rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

After a while, C.C only felt the sofa in front of his head sink slightly, and then his head was slightly lifted and pillowed on a piece of softness.

"A girl's mind is really elusive."

While combing the girl's long and scattered hair, she let out a low sigh.

The girl slowly opened her amber eyes, and then closed them again.

"Then let's work hard," the palm of his hand was suddenly grasped, and the lazy words gently drifted into the boy's ears.

"It's really strict."

The response tightened the palm of the hand, and the young man slowly closed his eyes.
