Imperial calendar 2010, end of May

In the presence of journalists from various countries, the imperial troops stationed in Cambodia began to slowly withdraw to the Philippines. No one cared why the retreating Imperial soldiers were carrying their individual equipment. (In general, individual weapons, such as pistols, rifles, and cartridges, are abandoned or sold cheaply to private arms dealers when troops are withdrawn from overseas, because the cost of repatriation is higher than making new ones.) In reality, the U.S. military did just that. )

This situation shocked the underground arms dealers who were happy to make a fortune, but these guys with the world's most sensitive sense of smell smelled something unusual about it.

At the same time, the Empire's vast and violent apparatus began to operate at its most efficient, the Empire propagated that these soldiers who fought for the Empire should be treated with due honor, and shipwows of transport fleets began to assemble towards the Philippines. The Pacific Fleet, which was scattered along various routes, also began to change its course and became the largest escort fleet in history.

A few days later, a series of shocking news came out.

[A Japanese fishing boat was intercepted by a Bunitanian security boat near Alaskan waters and clashed during a search on board.] Then the Bunitanian Empire issued a statement calling the ship a suspicious vessel carrying drugs. ]

[The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Holy British Empire issued a statement of protest against the Manila bomb attacks, and the spearhead was directed at Japan, accusing Japan of being a supporter of the terrorist attacks.] ]

Followed by

[In the early morning of June 9, the Governor's Office of the Holy British Empire officially proposed a revised draft agreement on bioelectronics-related technologies. This is clearly a sanctions policy against Japan. ]

Japan, which was still celebrating not long ago, was caught off guard by this series of measures taken by the empire, and did not react for a while.

At the time when Japanese Prime Minister Gentake Shuki issued a solemn statement of protest to bring the matter to the International Court of Justice, Bunitania's Pacific Fleet had already arrived in the Philippines, and the so-called transport ships used to transport soldiers from the open sea who were about to return to the empire were loaded with heavily armed Bunitanian soldiers and numerous army and air force equipment.

The next day, the Holy Bunitanian Emperor Charles Brown D. Buntania announced that large-scale military exercises would be held near Ishigaki Island. As a result, the escorting Pacific Fleet turned from a messenger of peace and fiercely attacked Japan's territorial waters.

The situation in the world that had been eased has turned into turmoil, and everyone in Japan is feeling panicked and uneasy, and the whole country is filled with murderous energy.

In the face of many domestic and foreign media, Japanese Prime Minister Xuanwu Shuki, who announced that he was recuperating, seemed to have disappeared, and he never appeared in front of the people and even government officials once, and for a time the Japanese upper echelons fell into chaos.

It was clear to everyone that Japan's strength would not be able to withstand the Empire's attack.

Turning to the Chinese Federation for help?

It's already been done. The empty promises of the Chinese Federation are cheaper than the price of jumping off the building with a hemorrhage, and no matter what kind of request Japan makes, the other party nods and agrees, but when it turns around, it is as if nothing has happened, and there is no news at all.

EU?

Not to mention that the EU is too far away from Japan, the entire world is now paralyzed by Bunitania, the EU has not even done the most basic combat preparations, the defense is more than enough, and it will take at least 2 months to organize an expeditionary force.

The Suez Canal belongs to the territory of the Chinese Federation, and it has been seen from the attitude of the Chinese Federation that in the process of negotiations with the Empire, the two sides do not know what kind of deal they have reached, and it is absolutely impossible to borrow the EU to cross the Suez Canal. Then the EU's troops could only enter the Indian Ocean along Africa through the Cape of Good Hope, and by the time the expeditionary force reached the Sea of Japan, the war would have already ended.

And there are already rumors that the EU is beginning to contact the Bunitanian Empire.

Now the world is a three-legged world, and seeing the other two powerful countries working together, it is absolutely unacceptable for EU to become a child who is unsociable and isolated in the kindergarten, and then plays alone in the sand on the edge of the sand. I'm afraid that after considering that there is no way to interfere with this, our good student Izuki Sugi-san (EU) immediately found Ji'an (Empire) and Xiaofu (Federation) who were preparing to bully Nobita (Japan), although they didn't step on Nobita' first without saying hello, but the opening was "Let's play together~"

The behavior is not bad for a while.

It's a pity that our 'Nobita' classmate doesn't have a blue-skinned civet cat named Dora Ameng, and now this 'Ji'an' is very domineering, but at least he still knows how to benefit evenly, so the tragedy has already been doomed....

Finally, in the imperial calendar 2010, mid-June.

Prime Minister Xuanwu Shuki, who has not been seen, will hold a press conference.

On that day, reporters from all over the world gathered at the venue, and countless people surrounded the periphery, expecting the government to give a satisfactory answer. However, in the present situation, anyone with a savvy understands that the government's answer is not satisfactory in any way.

It was indeed disappointing as most people expected, but it was also unexpected that Prime Minister Xuanmu did not arrive at the venue, but only a small press officer made a speech on his behalf.

The content of the speech was so short that it could be recorded in the world record, and it was only one second.

"Japan will resolutely resist! Above. ”

The press officer ignored the uproar of reporters and the angry crowd and hurried away.

On the same day, martial law orders were issued at Japan's Naha, Iwakuni, Itsukushima, Ogasawara and dozens of other strategic facilities. Even those with illusions knew that war would inevitably befall the land, but in the face of a devastating demoralization of the population and the army, Japan was filled with pessimism.

All this was doomed as early as when Japan changed its policy of neutrality and synchronized it with the policies of the EU and the Chinese Federation. Japan, which does not have the same deep strategic depth as the other two great powers, and does not have a huge population and resources, naturally became a victim of this decision

"Sister Huang, please!" Kamiyu folded his hands and asked, "The only one you can rely on is you!" ”

"It's nerve-wracking!" Cornelia clutched her forehead in distress.

"What are you asking me for? Isn't there still Monica? ”

"Although Monica has been doing it all along, we are not part of the official establishment, and the royal sister can't bear to let a girl who is only 12 years old go?"

Camillo's words made Cornelia's expression even more shaken and helpless.

When the two walked into the experimental base, the first thing that caught their eyes was the expectant expressions on Lloyd and Cecil's faces.

When I saw Kamiyu raise a big V in his right hand.

"Yay!!" The two couldn't help but high-five each other excitedly.

The Empire's war against Japan was about to begin, and Kamiyo, Lloyd, and others certainly wouldn't miss this good opportunity to test their actual combat data. However, their establishment does not belong to the military department, nor does it belong to the combat troops, so it is impossible for their works to be on the battlefield in any case. Moreover, the test pilot here is still a 12-year-old girl, although she has good skills, but she is too young to go to the battlefield.

Therefore, Camillo had to ask Cornelia, who would definitely go with the army this time, to pilot this AS, he can't look down on ordinary pilots, Cornelia is in a high position, and she is also Monica's senior sister, so both her identity and skills are enough to control this AS.

Cornelia shook her head with a wry smile and walked over to the silver mech, looking up to examine it.

"This is the toy you made upside down?"

"Imperial sister, it's too much to say, wasn't Knightmare also evaluated as a toy when he appeared? Could it be that the imperial sister thinks so now? "Kamiyu doesn't allow others to judge his work with a flippant attitude.

"You're a guy who always likes to talk fast." Cornelia patted Kamiyu on the head

"However, this is really good!" This sentence really came from Cornelia's heart

Unlike Knightmare's bloated body, the AS is much taller, but it looks very slim, with a streamlined shape and armor-like armor that gives it a sense of explosiveness. The head is shaped like a medieval knight's helmet, with a hair-like ribbon pulled high from the back of the head and hanging down to the knees. (Originally, it was a heat sink wire, but it is not needed here because there is no λ-driver.) )

Such a shape was loved by the Imperial knights, because AS was the most orthodox and majestic image in the hearts of these knights.

"Let's go up and give it a try! Although the operation mode will feel very simple, in fact, it is a great test of the driver's reflexivity and adaptability, and the most intuitive experience can only be experienced after the real operation. ”

At Camillo's invitation, Cornelia climbed into the cockpit.

[Cockpit closed... ]

[Master Adjustment Begins...] ]

[Main engine starts... ]

Looking at the surroundings suddenly brightened, the spherical 360° window shows everything outside almost without dead ends, and you can see a variety of clear and sci-fi data tables with a glass of color when you look down on your chest, everything gives people a science fiction color that is ahead of the times.

"Oh~ What a nice feeling!" Corneli* couldn't help but admire.

"Of course, the master-slave follow-up mecha system is almost equivalent to treating the mech as an extension of itself, and if it weren't for such a window that resembles the vision of the human eye, it would make the action hesitate." Kamiyu's portrait appears in a corner of the spherical window.

"Hmph...," Conelia chuckled in satisfaction.

[Voltage rising... ]

[Full joint unlocking, perform forced release...] ]

[Combat OS Boot ... ]

"By the way, Kamiyu, does it take so much time for each start?" Conelia, who felt that the wait was too long, asked with a frown.

"Of course it can't be, this is to let us carefully check if there is anything wrong, after all, this is my imperial sister's first driving, if there is any accident, I can only apologize with death."

Although Kamiyu's tone was joking, judging from the scene shown by the internal camera, he was really checking for Cornelia very seriously.

"Then it's time to begin, Imperial Sister!"

"It's really exciting!"

After receiving the answer, Kamiyu nodded to Cecil, who picked up the communicator and acted as a temporary CIC.

"Try to make a wizard weapon, ADFX-01—Morgan, activate!"

A red glow shone in the knight's head.
