Chapter 193: War

A few hours later, thousands of miles away in the forbidden city of Zhu, Mei Changqing hugged Jiang Lihua and smiled lovingly with a snack in her hand.

"Xiao Lihua, ah~"

"Ah~" The white-haired Lori opened her mouth wide to accept Mei Changqing's feeding, and her little face was bulging with a happy smile, she liked to be with the royal brother like now, but this warm scene was disturbed by the guards in the palace in the next second.

"Report, General Cao from the three northeastern provinces called." A guard took the phone and handed it to Mei Changqing, who trembled when he saw the red phone, which can only be used when there is a major military accident in various places, and the only major military incident that can occur in the northeast in recent months is ----

"Your Majesty, our informants on the East Island have received accurate information that the Britannian Empire had made no declaration of war on the East Island this morning, and now their Emperor is announcing a declaration of war on TV." On the other side of the phone, General Cao, the commander of the Northeast Army, said to Mei Changqing.

"I see, the most important thing to gather an army is to prepare to send troops to the East Island." Mei Changqing put Xiao Lihua down and motioned for her to go out first, she had something to do, and then turned on the TV and tuned to the news station in Britannia.

“…… The weak should be deprived, this is the law of nature, powerlessness is the original sin, our Holy Spirit Britannian Empire will deprive the weak of everything, whether it is resources, money or name, I declare that the Britannian Empire has officially declared war on the Eastern Island Country! On television, the emperor with white curly hair was giving an impassioned author's speech, and the elderly Charluru's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he raised his head proudly like a lion on hunting. 2

"Have you started?" Turning off the TV, Mei Changqing turned on the computer to call up the world map, carefully looked at the terrain of the East Island, and instantly simulated more than a dozen ways to attack the East Island in his head.

"Call all the high-ranking generals you can muster now." After looking at the map for a few minutes, Mei Changqing instructed Elsa beside him, since Britannia had already made a move, he couldn't be idle on his side.

"Obey." Elsa replied and disappeared in a flash.

Because he knew in advance that there was this war, Mei Changqing put the country's army into a state of readiness as early as a few months ago, and deliberately announced the fake news of the counterattack on the Indochina Peninsula to make the army prepare in advance, and now it seems that everything is within the budget.

Ten minutes later, several middle-aged men wearing the uniforms of senior military generals of the Chinese Federation walked in, all looking nervous, Britannia had just declared war on the East Island, His Majesty the Emperor came to them, what did the young emperor want to do?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I guess you all already know about Britannia's declaration of war on the East Island, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. We just got the news. One of the men replied.

"What do you think would be if I sent troops to the East Island and Britannia to fight there now?" Mei Changqing led a few people to the large map in the center of the room, and drew several offensive routes of the Chinese Federation on the map.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that the ministers are at least 60% or more, their mechs are lagging behind us, supplies and reinforcements can only be transported from the Indochina Peninsula, and they have to fight the army on the East Island side at the same time, even the Britannian Empire will be tired of coping."

"Hehe, it makes sense. But have you ever wondered what if they develop a new mech? Mei Changqing, who has the advantage of the plot, wants to remind the middle-aged officer.

"It's almost impossible, our spies over there haven't sent back any news about Britannia's new mech, and the minister thinks their mech is still under development."

"Then how long do you think I can hold out if I don't send troops to Dongdao?"

"At least for half a year, judging from the geographical location and military strength of the East Island, they can hold out for more than half a year."

“… Send troops and pull the army that counterattacks Indochina to Dongdao Island. After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Mei Changqing fell silent for a short time, this man is not in a hurry, right? Nima, a senior officer, is completely opposite to reality, in the anime, the Britannian Army is equipped with the latest mecha knightmare, and Higashishima only lasted for a month.

"By the way, send troops as fast as possible, and the only goal of our side this time is to occupy Mt. Fuji." Mei Changqing walked back to his desk, took out a stack of materials from a drawer, and handed them to several officers.

"This is the battle plan, please follow it." The battle plan was secretly drawn up by Mei Changqing a few months ago, and there were detailed records in the plan from the route of the attack, the personnel and the time.

"Obey."

"Wouldn't it be too urgent to log in from Tokyo Bay in a week?" A middle-aged officer asked his colleague after leaving Mei Changqing's office, and the operation revealed strange things everywhere. His Majesty directly pulled the elite troops that were prepared to counterattack the Indochina Peninsula to the battlefield of Dongdao, and also asked for high-speed support for Dongdao, you must know that it will take at least 3 days for the warships of the Federation to reach Dongdao.

"That's true, but the armies that have not been disarmed for the counterattack on Indochina have not yet been disarmed, so there is still plenty of time." Another officer replied.

"But I always think this thing is a little strange, Your Majesty seems to have known that Britannia is going to attack the East Island, you look at this plan, even the personnel and army configuration have been drawn up, and all the troops who have been transferred over are the troops who counterattacked Indochina." An officer with glasses looked at the plan in his hand as he walked, with his experience, it would take at least half a year for such a plan to be formulated, but they learned that Britannia had only been declaring war on the East Island for a long time, less than ten minutes, right?

"And why are we trying to seize that place on Mt. Fuji?" The bespectacled officer continued to ask, "Mt. Fuji is not a military location, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is still an active volcano, so it is not a good idea there.

"Don't speculate on His Majesty's decision, how can we understand his thoughts?" Hong Gu in the crowd snorted coldly and threatened.

"Uh... I know. The bespectacled officer shuddered and replied after being reminded.

Several soldiers stopped talking after being reminded by Honggu, and silently went back to start deploying the army, according to Mei Changqing's plan, the time when they sent troops was... Tomorrow.

In the office, Mei Changqing solved the trouble on the officer's side and began to fiddle with the video intercom in front of him, he has never been very good at using this thing, so Mei Changqing also regarded this as the black technology of the Lelouch world.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Elsa couldn't help but ask as she watched Mei Changqing sweating profusely in front of the intercom for a long time.

"I'm trying to find a way to contact the Prime Minister of the East Island." Mei Changqing replied without replying.

"But Your Majesty, do you want to contact someone or turn on the phone first, right?" Elsa walked up to Mei Changqing and pressed the start button, and the machine finally lit up.

…… As a modern person, I actually lost out to an ancient man in the use of machines?

Mei Changqing looked at Elsa in shock, who looked like she had won something, this girl now raised her head high, and she still had an elegant smile on her face, but the trace of pride in her eyes really couldn't be concealed.

…… What are you proud of? I know how this machine works and the equations that go so far beyond what you can only use. 2

"Help me contact the Prime Minister of the East Island."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but you have to wait for the response from the other side." Elsa flexibly pressed a few buttons on the machine, and the screen showed that the channel was being connected.

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"

"It's just a hello." Mei Changqing straightened the hat on his head, and saw that the head of a country still had to have a good image.

A few minutes later, the East Island side responded to Ms. Mei's communication, and a man in a suit who looked a little haggard appeared on television.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor." The man bowed to Mei Changqing and said in broken Chinese.

"Hello, Prime Minister Shuki." Mei Changqing nodded at the man, this man is the current Prime Minister of Dongdao and the father of the second male Shuki Suzaku in the rebellious Lelouch series.

"I don't know what advice Your Majesty has to offer." Prime Minister Shuki asked, he had just learned that Britannia had officially launched a war on the East Island, and now that their army had landed on the East Island, he was busy with this as the Prime Minister of the East Island.

"Britannia's army has landed, right?" Mei Changqing looked at the somewhat absent-minded prime minister and asked.

"That's right, I have to organize an army in the future."

"As a friend of our Federation, I want to send troops to support East Island, I don't know what Mr. Prime Minister wants?" Mei Changqing asked with a smile, if the other party agreed, this would be an excellent opportunity to land on the East Island.

"Don't worry about it, Your Majesty, the affairs of the Eastern Island Country will be solved by ourselves." Prime Minister Shumu closed his eyes and bowed and replied, he knows very well what this son of heaven thinks, once he agrees, he will definitely use this as an excuse to ask Dongdao to join the Chinese Federation, what is the difference between that and being occupied by Britannia?

"Is that so? I see. Mei Changqing turned off the call video and continued to work on the documents in his hand as if nothing had happened just now.

"Your Majesty, they have refused your support~" Elsa said with a smile on the side, "In this case, you can't send troops~"

"I said, Elsa, are you getting something wrong?" Mei Changqing stopped what he was doing and looked at Elsa strangely, "I didn't send troops to support Dongdao this time, it was a force to invade Dongdao, as for the supporting army, Prime Minister Shumu just now refused himself~"

"Since you refuse, you can't do anything, it's pitiful to think about, facing the attack of two superpowers in the world at the same time." Mei Changqing replied with a smile.

At this time, a one-sided massacre was going on on the battlefield of Higashishima. Britannia's latest humanoid mecha fully demonstrates the superior performance of the latest generation of mechas, the tanks of the East Island were destroyed by the large-caliber machine guns on the mecha without even aiming time in the face of high-speed moving mechas, and the bullets of ordinary soldiers could not even break through the outer steel plate of the mecha, and the missiles that flew were also easily dodged.

Although the soldiers of Higashijima held the battle line on the battlefield, they fell like harvested wheat in a few minutes, and the defense line was pitted like the surface of the moon by bullets and shells, and there were burning fires and dead Higashijima soldiers everywhere.

Using the latest mechs and powerful aerial fire support, the first front of the East Island was easily torn apart, and all 5,000 soldiers guarding the line were wiped out, while the Britannian Army lost less than 10 men and a few mechs. What is the difference between resistance and suicide in the face of the world's most powerful superpower than the arrogance and stupidity of the relentless mockery of Higashijima?

However, the Higashijima military does not seem to realize the strength of the enemy, and under the mobilization of Prime Minister Shuki, thousands of Higashijima troops continue to be sent to the battlefield, facing the invincible enemy to make the last resistance. 1

Within 48 hours of the Britannian Empire's declaration of war on the East Island, Britannia showed the world what a superpower mode of warfare is. Use absolute air superiority to carpet bomb the ground buildings on the East Island, destroy all visible forts and roads, and then use Knightmare's powerful mobility to harvest the lives on the battlefield. 1

In just two days, the two countries fought 15 battles, and Dongdao has not won even a single victory, all of which ended in fiasco, and those 15 battles have also exhausted 50% of Dongdao's living combat strength, and nearly one-third of the country's territory has fallen.

"Prime Minister, quickly ask the Chinese Federation for help, we have already lost!" The military minister of Higashishima knelt in front of Prime Minister Shuki and shouted bitterly, the gap in strength between the two countries is too great, and if the fight continues, the country of Higashishima will be over in less than a week.

"Let the army use guerrilla warfare, and don't go head-to-head with the enemy." Ignoring the military minister's bitter cries, Prime Minister Shuki said, "We still have a chance, so don't give up." ”

"Impossible, their mecha is more suitable for guerrillas, and the flexibility and powerful individual combat ability of the mecha are not comparable to our weapons." The Minister of Military Affairs replied that the Prime Minister did not understand the gravity of the matter and was simply ridiculously ignorant.

"You do it first, and then wait." Prime Minister Shuki closed his eyes and replied, completely moved. 1

"Do you know that you will become a sinner on the East Island by doing this!" The Minister of War asked, red-eyed.

"Even so, I will not bow my head like the Chinese Federation, even if we fight to the last soldier, we must rely on our own strength to defend against foreign enemies."

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the Minister of Military Affairs knew that no matter how much he asked, he got up and left without saying a word, leaving Prime Minister Shuki and his son Suzaku Shuki in place.

"Father, why don't you go and ask the Chinese Federation for help, didn't their Son of Heaven also say that he wanted to help us before?" Suzaku asked his father puzzled, if there was help from the Chinese Federation, the situation would be much better, right? At least the Chinese Federation is also a superpower, and Britannia will take into account their ideas.

"If we do that, we will become puppets of the Chinese Federation, and they will use war to control us." Prime Minister Shuki touched the head of the young Suzaku and said that he had always believed that the Chinese Federation wanted to seize the East Island, so he did not want to compromise with the Son of Heaven of the Federation no matter what. 1

"Is that so?" Suzaku lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but his little hand tightened into a fist.

On the other side, in the forbidden city of the Chinese Federation, Mei Changqing, the son of heaven, was looking helplessly at the dark-skinned woman smoking a cigarette in front of him, this woman was a scientific researcher from India, named Lakshata. This woman belongs to the top technicians, and the strongest mecha in the anime, Red Lotus II, is her work.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"Yes, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, I can't do it." Laxarta played a scoundrel with her hands, and she relied on her most advanced mecha technology to extort research funds from Mei Changqing.

It's fine if it's just extorting research funds, but the problem is that this woman is using the money to support Indian independence. Because India is a little far away from the headquarters of the federation and its own strength is not bad, some Indians want to break away from the federation of China and become independent.

"It's not that you don't want me to give it, but your number is too big, isn't it?" Lakshata asked for one percent of the annual tax revenue of the Chinese Federation, which is a large number of tens of billions, and now the Federation is going to send troops to the East Island, how can he get so much money?

"Your Majesty, that's the development of a mecha, how can you do it if you don't have more?" Laxhata took a puff of his cigarette and shouted like a hooligan, "It's not like you haven't seen the new mecha over there in Britannia, which completely surpasses our steel skeleton in terms of performance~"

"Of course I know..."Britannia's mecha Mei Changqing has also seen it, it is indeed very good, and now the only person in the Chinese Federation who has the ability to develop that thing is India, and the scientific research ability of the Federation headquarters is indeed much worse.

“… Okay, I'll give you those funds, but I can't give them all at once, in batches. Recently, I have been in a war, so I can only grieve you Aiqing first. After gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, Mei Changqing replied, this is really a helpless move, if you give it, the economic pressure is too great, and if you don't give it, it means that the mecha is completely behind the other party.

At this time, Mei Changqing just wanted to call those scientists from the federal headquarters over and scold them, if those guys were a little promising, they would still be angry now? He had already snatched the woman's pipe and smashed it on the other person's head, so that she knew what the emperor's anger was.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, Weichen retired first~" Laxia Tower waved his hand at Mei Changqing and left Mei Changqing's office arrogantly, hearing the sound of Mei Changqing angrily smashing things behind him, the corners of Lakxiata's mouth hooked a beautiful arc, mecha technology is the best weapon to threaten this young emperor.

"Your Majesty, that woman is really arrogant, do you want me..."Elsa squinted and put her fingers on her neck and made a throat-cutting motion and asked, although that woman is the most powerful expert in mecha in the Federation, but she is also an Indian independence element, and it is estimated that more than half of the money she asked for just now will be given to the Indian independence element, which is simply an enemy.

"There's no way, you know that we can only rely on her for mecha development now, and she did make a lot of things, which can be regarded as half a hero."

"But that's too embarrassing." Elsa replied, she knew very well, the woman had not given the Federation the best technology, and now the mechs she gave to the Federation were a generation behind the Knightmare in Britannia.

"Bear with me first, and when the level of the headquarters goes up, you don't have to look at her face anymore." Mei Changqing said helplessly.

Today, the mecha unit of the Chinese Federation has approached Tokyo Bay on the East Island, and Mei Changqing can't have much energy to deal with domestic affairs now, and the war on the East Island is the most important thing.

In this war, Mei Changqing dispatched 1,000 steel skeleton mechas, five federal navies and air forces, which is enough to sweep the entire East Island, but in the face of Britannia, Mei Changqing still feels a little panicked, and the terrible battle record of conquering the East Island in a month in the anime makes Mei Changqing feel palpitations.

On the vast ocean, the fleet of the Chinese Federation was heading towards Tokyo Bay on the East Island, and the flagship Honggu was looking at the Tokyo Bay that was getting closer and closer, and not long ago they also encountered the warships of the East Island Navy, but when the other party heard that it was the army of the Chinese Federation, the East Island Navy actually knelt on the ground without saying a word and begged them to save the East Island.

Hong Gu felt inexplicable about such a thing, what happened to Dongdao, they were not like this when they came to Dongdao before, although Dongdao was respectful in the face of the Chinese Federation, there was still a trace of arrogance between words and deeds, but now they seem to be the most despicable soil underground, as long as they can save the country, they can do whatever they want.

Hong Gu felt a sense of decadence from those people of the East Island that he had never seen before, as if everything was dead.

"What the hell do you think happened to them?" Honggu asked the scientist in white next to him.

"I don't know, but from the intelligence sent from the front, it seems that Higashijima has indeed lost a lot, and all the wars from the beginning to the present have ended in almost total annihilation." The scientist pushed his glasses and said, "But it doesn't matter, our target this time is only Mt. Fuji, and nothing else." ”

This time, they entered the territory of the East Island without the permission of the East Island government, and the East Island side seemed to be tired of dealing with Britannia and did not stop their actions, after all, if they opened fire, they would be at war with two world powers at the same time, and the East Island would definitely not be able to afford it.

His Majesty the Emperor said that if the troops of Dongdao dared to stop it, they would be destroyed together, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor did not regard Dongdao as a friend at all, and their actions this time also had another purpose.

The warships of the Chinese Federation of China landed slowly in Tokyo Bay, and Hong Gu stepped on the land of Dongdao, surrounded by a large circle of onlookers who were blocked by the army, and those Dongdao people seemed to think that these troops of the Chinese Federation were here to support, laughing and waving their arms at Honggu to say hello, and there were even many people kneeling on the ground and holding their heads and crying as if they were saved.

"Hello, contemptible Fujido Kagami, welcome to all of you of the Chinese Federation." A man in a military uniform came up and saluted Hong Gu and said.

"Hello, I am Admiral Hong Gu of the Chinese Federation."

"I don't know what your country's purpose is to come to your own country... It's not safe right now. Fujido asked, staring at Honggu with sword-like eyes.

"We are only here in accordance with the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and we will not do anything harmful to the interests of your country, and I hope that you will not hinder our actions." Honggu looked at Fujitang and replied.

"I hope so." After Fuji Tang finished speaking, he turned around and left, now that this group of soldiers from the Chinese Federation had landed, he had nothing to do with them.

"The one behind catches." Hong Gu shouted at the large group of soldiers behind him, and the soldiers of the Chinese Federation lined up one by one to step down from the battleship and lined up in several groups to wait for orders.

Fujitang watched hundreds of huge transport trucks get off the ship, the transport trucks were loaded with the new mecha of the Chinese Federation, if he could, Fujitang really wanted to get all those mechas, with those East Island, he would have the capital to confront Britannia, instead of letting other countries ravage like now.

"Let me tell you first, we will not intervene in the war between you and Britannia, so you don't have to think about asking us to help, unless Britannia takes the initiative to attack us, the Chinese Federation will always be neutral in this war." Honggu's lieutenant came behind Fujido and said.

"Thanks for the reminder." Fujido replied in a non-undulating voice like a machine, but his eyes were still fixed on the transport vehicle of the Chinese Federation, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After an hour, the soldiers of the Chinese Federation finally loaded everything, Hong Gu sat on the car and waved his hand, and thousands of huge transport trucks rolled up the dust and drove towards Mt. Fuji, leaving Fujido and other East Island officers.

"Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think?" A young soldier beside Fujido asked, looking at the departing Union troops.

"Those supplies are enough to sustain several major wars, and the army of the Chinese Federation... The comers are not good. Fujido frowned and replied in a low voice, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, he had a hunch that Higashijima would not be able to survive this time.
