The mecha more than four meters tall stopped moving, Mariana climbed out of the cockpit, she nodded with satisfaction: "The effect is still good, it should already be able to carry out actual combat, but there are still some problems that need to be corrected." ”

In the distance, Charles and Hei Ji had a good conversation, he looked at the experimental mecha and said to Hei Ji beside him: "This weapon is enough to rewrite the entire war in the future, the tank will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the empire that is the first to develop this equipment will occupy the initiative in the war, I wonder if the princess has any opinions?" ”

"I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing, if you really want to get good advice, you can go to that bastard man, although it can't give you any valid opinion, but it can give you something else." Kurohime somewhere took out the folder and handed it to Charles, the cover read '4th Generation Humanoid Comfort Combat Armor Design Scheme', and the words 'Amalgam Weapons Research Department' were written at the bottom.

"What is this?"

"We have a very poor relationship with each other, you also know, this is our people stolen from their company, I heard that you lost a lot of manpower in this matter, this is when I give some gifts to the empire, I have seen this blueprint, the concepts and technologies in it are far beyond the empire for many years, I think this thing will play a greater value in your hands, by the way, there are some things in this plan at the end that you can see, like I said, you were deceived by that man."

Hei Ji's words made Charles stunned, and then he directly skipped the design of the mecha and flipped to the end, and attached to the back was the drawing of the SV series of fighters, but soon Charles found the problem on it, and it was clearly marked on this drawing that the maximum speed of the fighter could reach Mach 6, in addition to the multiple locking system, external power pack, armored backpack, ammunition external equipment, etc., these things are not available on the body that Charles bought.

"Although that man said that he was neutral, he was obviously partial to the Federation, no matter what, he has some connections with the Federation, and you should be able to find out from the appearance that if you look at the current geographical location, the place where he was born is the Federation Continent."

"But it doesn't matter, their security system is also very strict by many others, but it's too easy for our blood clan, I will let people visit their headquarters at any time to steal the latest research materials, and you just need to digest it into your own things, such as this mecha design drawing, and the manufacture of other equipment of fighters, etc., but the empire is facing a problem, that is, the energy required by weapons, ordinary electricity simply cannot meet these equipment, So you're going to have to find a way to get something more effective to replace it. ”

Speaking of energy, Charles remembered the thing that Lei Zhe had taken out earlier, which recorded a new energy source, a more efficient product than Sakura.

"Oh, I also investigated that kind of thing, the location is directly below Zhu Forbidden City, but we won't help you seize these things, and we can attack the amalgam because there is a lot of hatred between the other party and us, plus the identity is not the same, but for ordinary people, even if the other party is the emperor of the Federation, it is impossible, have you ever seen an adult go to grab a child's candy?" So you only have two ways, one is to buy it from that bastard for a lot of money, and the other is to occupy the Federation, but the latter is very difficult, after all, it is the capital of the Federation, and you may not be able to defeat it with all the power of the Empire, and the most important thing is that we don't know the production of this hedron, if you waste a lot of effort and get too little reward, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. ”

After listening to Kurohime's words, Charles was silent, what the other party said was not wrong at all, and now the empire is in a very embarrassing situation, he suddenly made a move on the EU, just to test the performance of the SV fighter, and the result surprised him, but Kurohime's subsequent information completely hit him. …,

It turned out that what I bought was only a cut version, although Kurohime had already obtained the complete information, but he encountered power problems, and the design clearly indicated that if you want to give full play to the maximum potential of the fighter, ordinary electric engines are not good at all, and you must use better and more efficient, and Sakurashi and the newly discovered crystal ore are undoubtedly the best alternatives, but the problem is that the empire of these two things is not rich, so Charles has a headache now.

"Actually, my suggestion is to import a large number of Sakurashi from Japan, reserve strength, and finally take Japan and establish it as its own colony, so that the energy problem can be solved, even if the Federation really develops Sakurashi replacement, it will not hold the military development of the empire hostage, and the things recorded in the above information, all weapons must be promoted by Sakuraishi, so this is now your only way, and for your own ambitions, Japan will be taken by you sooner or later, isn't it?"

"It seems that this is the only way to do it, thank you, Your Royal Highness, Princess, for giving us these valuable information, but I have a question, you said that man has a relationship with the Federation, so what will he do if I have friction with the Federation?" Charles had planned to test the depth of the Federation before, this time with the fourth-generation mecha, he wanted to do it more, with the information provided by Heihime, he believed that with the strength of the empire, all SV fighters would soon be able to be remodified, and if both sides had SV fighters, the decision would be in the army, not to mention that the empire still had the hole card of mecha, even if the amalgam wanted to support the Federation, Charles also believed that the other party's production capacity was not comparable to his own.

"He should be on the sidelines."

Hei Ji smiled lightly, and then said calmly: "Time has already worn out his concept, he is different from our blood clan and pays attention to ancestors and relatives, from the beginning he was a ruthless, ruthless and unrighteous villain, otherwise why do you think he is the only one left in the eight ancient abilities?" Do you know why the legend says that Lucifer is synonymous with betrayal? That's all because of everything he did, which was betrayal! ”

"The reason why he takes care of the Federation is because the other party gives more benefits than you, this bastard is indeed the material for being a businessman, because he values the benefits more than anything else, the Federation wants to ask for help only to come up with more benefits, and the only thing that can satisfy his appetite at the moment is the newly developed crystal mine..."

"Then what do you mean by looking for a princess, he won't interfere?"

"No, I'm just saying yes, because his personality is very capricious, and sometimes he will trouble you for very boring reasons, haven't you seen anything at the previous banquet? Is he really here to ask for a debt? To tell you the truth, he came to disgust us, because it would make him feel very happy, a long time ago one of the most ancient Abilities died in front of him, and he didn't help, because of the other party's desperate expression He really wanted to continue to see what a strong man looked like before he died, and as a result, that Stranger died in the curse of him, and he always had a smile on his face, so this kind of person is the most annoying and the most difficult to deal with, because no one knows what he is thinking or what he will do, even himself..."

Charles frowned, and from Kurohime's narrative, he seemed to see a moody madman.

"Then your majesty, I'll go back first, although the sun is not harmful to me, I prefer the evening." Kurokhime said with a smile at Charles, and then disappeared into black smoke.

When she left, Charles shook his head and looked at the blueprints in his hand until Mariana appeared.

"Look at this."

Charles handed over the information in his hand to Mariana, and then stopped talking, Mariana looked, and then her expression was just like Charles at the beginning, a little complicated, not to mention the design of the mecha, the SV fighter alone let her know that she was tricked by Lei Zhe, and this loss of herself and others had to eat, and the blood that spit out had to be swallowed back, what could be more tangled than this. …,

In fact, Mariana does not appear in many scenes in the plot, but this woman leaves a deep impression on us, when we first see her, people will think that she is a kind and gentle mother, from the memories it can be seen that she is loved by Cornelia and Euphemia, Lelouch also turned against his father because of her relationship, but I can only say that all this is superficial, it is a disguise of Mariana, her kind and gentle to children is just pretending, maybe in her opinion, Lelouch and Nanali are just beautiful decorations of their own, right?

She may be a good wife because she fully supports Charles's plans, but she is not a good mother because she uses her children as test subjects and props.

Lelouch can be said to be a combination of Charles's wisdom and Mariana's belly, and how much of the smile on her face when facing her children is from the heart, no one but her may know.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let Ashford quickly digest the information above, and then modify it, and make three hundred units for actual combat testing, but the actual combat of weapons still chooses the Federation, Japan can't move for the time being, if it can't take Japan in a short time, it will be very troublesome, so the plan for Japan remains the same, as for the Federation, this time it's only a little tentative, and more importantly, I want to see what that man's attitude towards the Federation is like, he seems to have a good impression of Schunezel, Do you think you can let Schunezel be the other party's liaison officer? ”

Although this information brought a lot of surprises and helplessness to Charles, he did not plan to change his plan, on the contrary, he even wanted to advance, because he was a little worried that the amalgam was supporting the Federation behind it, and if the other party really did this, it might not be long before the thousand-year country would become a threat to the empire again, and it seemed that he had to find some effective methods in the inner world, and speed up the search for vampire relics.

"I'm going to participate in this actual battle, no problem, right?"

"No, but you have to be careful, the attack on the Federation was chosen in May 08, as for the location, Indochina, and the reason is to protect the safety of the expatriate, tell the Ministry of Intelligence to create some trouble there..."

"I'll do it."
