The Republic of EU, the capital of the state of England, .

As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, it was once the world's most famous fog capital. However, in today's era of clean energy, fog-filled cities are long gone. As part of the Great European Republic, the overall industrial restructuring of the British Isles resulted in the British Isles retaining only a small industrial base other than shipbuilding, and replacing it with numerous private and state-owned banks, stock exchanges, trust companies, and insurance companies.

Today, London is the most important financial centre in Europe.

"Brother Huang, look, look! That's the Tower of London! Yufemia, who was still in the private flying machine, excitedly tugged at Kamiyu's sleeve and pointed to the complex below.

"Let's go down later, but don't forget about business." All Kamiyu could do was pat Yufermia on the head and give a small admonition.

"Got it, got it."

England, or the Kingdom of Great Britain, which once ruled the area, was the predecessor of the Bunitanian Empire.

Perhaps it was because the Duke of Bunitania succeeded in crushing the Washington rebellion and strangled the United States of America, which would later be known as the world's policeman, to its infancy. The storm stirred up by the wings of a small butterfly caused Nelson, who was supposed to be the greatest admiral Britain had ever seen, to lose the crucial Battle of Trafalgar in the face of the attack of the combined Franco-Spanish fleet.

This result directly led to Napoleon's successful landing in England, and the direct blood of the Tudor royal family was wiped out, and only the then Duke of Bunitania fled to the New World with the help of the First Knights of the Round Table, which gave rise to the current Holy Bunitanian Empire. (In the world of Lelouch, the Tudor royal family, which was supposed to end up with Elizabeth I, who had the title of 'Virgin Queen', has an heir, whose father is unknown, but may be the son of Elizabeth I and the Duke of Bunitania.) ）

And the Napoleonic general, who unified Europe and fulfilled the long-cherished wish that history could not fulfill, failed to become the emperor of the Great European Empire, but was guillotined by the republican people. It's hard to imagine how the people at that time managed to maintain their sanity in the midst of their fanaticism. It's not scientific, but it's magical.

That's why Euphemia is so excited about the historical monuments that London preserves, and whoever calls the historical buildings here are all surnamed Bunitania, isn't it?

"It's a pity that Big Ben, which was supposed to be the symbol of London, is impossible to see." Kamiyu shook his head and smiled.

Big Ben was completed in 1859 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession to the throne. It's a pity that the world of Britain was captured by Napoleon in 1805, so this historical building is naturally impossible to talk about.

"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" Yufemia, who didn't hear Kamiyu's whispering clearly, turned her head curiously.

"I mean, remember to call me Chairman when the time comes."

"Hmm..... I said, got it. Yufemia's eyes narrowed at Kamiyu.

"Really? So call it a look? ”

"Chairman...."

"It's not natural enough~~"

"Chairman!!"

"Is there a secretary who has a temper tantrum with the boss like this?"

"Hmm... Chairman. ”

"Do it again."

"Brother Huang bullies!"

"Call me Chairman."

Teasing my sister is my brother's prerogative.... Although Kamiyu had never used this privilege much, it seemed that now he had finally learned a little bit of fun.

Cocktail party.....

As an important occasion for communication, whether in the West or in the East, it has an irreplaceable role in any era.

"The battlefield does not have to have gunsmoke, and sometimes the battlefield without gunpowder is more brutal than the real battlefield. Don't look at the empire in the past ten years to show a momentum of plundering the world, but the EU began to do this more than 200 years ago, and it was not until 60 years ago that due to the awakening of national consciousness around the world, it switched to a seemingly gentle and invisible way of plundering. During the more than 200 years of the EU's glory, the Bunitanian Empire was just a second-rate country with constant internal strife, so in terms of wealth, even if the EU fell to the point where it is today, it far surpassed the empire. ”

On the dance floor, Kamiyu whispered in her ear as she matched Euphemia's dance steps. But in the eyes of others, it looks like a lingering little couple.

"So powerful?" Euphemia's eyes widened.

It is hard to imagine that the Holy Bunitanian Empire, the world's largest power, would fall behind. This feeling was even more intense for Yuphemia, who was once the prince of the empire.

"It is said that war is a continuation of politics, but in fact, since the rise of capitalism, most of the war has been driven by the economy and businessmen. National fiscal deficits are already inevitable in all countries of the world, and the more fragile national finances become, the easier it is for banks and financiers to influence the world economy. ”

The Emperor integrated the empire's emerging chaebols 30 years before you and I were born, and it was not as simple as consolidating the throne. The young emperor did not hesitate to meet the old aristocracy, and also wanted to bring the new groups that were not yet powerful within the empire to the throne, not only to find support to consolidate their own thrones, but also to get rid of the great threat posed by the European financial blocs.

"If the European financial consortium is so powerful, why is it still allowing the EU to fail so much?" Euphemia's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Because it's profitable." Kamiyu smiled faintly at Yufemia, "Today's big conglomerates have long been unbound by national borders, and their assets are all over the world, and they only have interests in their eyes, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses." And the empire is not so stupid as to directly provoke this financial monster. In the process of territory expansion, the merchant group is not one and concentric, the market is so big, some people are squeezed out, and the less people are left in the cake. ”

Saying this, glancing at several middle-aged and elderly people who appeared in sight, Kamiyu gently patted Yufimia on the back.

"We're already on this battlefield right now, so we have to be careful."

"Hmm."

Euphemia, who had been prompted, nodded slightly, and then quietly stepped aside. Camillo took a glass of champagne from the messenger and walked towards the small group.

"As far as I know, His Excellency Halowin has always been committed to the real industry, and now he is finally interested in getting involved in the financial industry?" A middle-aged man in his 50s raised his glass to Kamiyu and asked with a chuckle.

"Although the real industry gives people a sense of security, everyone in the industry knows that the world's richest man is just a joke, and it is the financial industry that really rules the direction of the world economy. If you want to go to the next level, this is a hurdle that must be crossed no matter what. Kamiyu raised his glass in response, then smiled modestly.

"Hahaha.... It's good that young people are enterprising. After the low laughter passed, the middle-aged man showed a look of memory, "Speaking of youth, I do remember." Lord Halowyn is always surrounded by beautiful women. The green-haired beauty secretary I saw last time was too.,This time it's also the same.,It's good to be young! ”

"Because there are some things in the Far East that need to be dealt with, and there are some things that cannot be separated from the bottom." Kamiyu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, as you could understand.

"Of course, of course. We've all been young. This group of old men, who are over half a hundred years old, all showed lewd smiles.

"Okay guys, let's hear what kind of surprise Lord Hallowing's has brought us this time?"

"Of course, young people, there are always surprising ideas."

The words snickered again.

In the midst of this snickering, Camillo raised his glass, pretending to taste it to hide his disgust.

...........

"Although I had expected it before, it was really miserable to actually see it." I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Major personnel such as Fujido Kagyuro and Fan Yao were all arrested by the Empire, and logistics personnel such as Diethart and Rakushata saw that the situation was not good and fled to the Indian Military Region of the Chinese Federation. And a small number of young people such as Yagami were poached to Afghanistan by Kamiyu.

Now the remnants of the entire Black Knights are less than 100 people, and the main members are only Karen and the driver uncle who drove the car, Bube Qiaoxue, one of the four holy swords. And Ito Yakumo, who was secretly put back by Kamiyu to make trouble, is missing.

Although he doesn't have a sense of belonging to the Black Knights, he can be regarded as someone who has witnessed the establishment of the Black Knights and watched it grow towards a large organization. Now this miserable situation made her sigh with emotion.

"Is that really enough?"

It's easy to awaken Leluxiu's memory, but it's not easy to get out of the siege of the Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Emperor ** later.....

, turning his head to look at Musashi beside him.

The preface is withdrawn, perhaps surprisingly simple.

"Master Kamiyu thinks that having an unidentified Zero suddenly appear is far more valuable than having a Zero whose true identity is exposed."

thought of it, whispered in his ear.

"In other words, can't you let the emperor know that Lelouch has regained his memory? Kamiyu's going to have a problem. He laughed unpleasantly.

"Okay, Musashi. Show me the list that Kamiyu gave. ”
