CHAPTER XXI. Pre-war prelude
"Is that so? Sorry to disturb. β
Shota put a sketch of himself back in his wallet, and to this day, he has searched all of Tokyo, even if he asks many Japanese natives, namely Eleven, without any news.
It's also good...... If it didn't exist, it wouldn't have been ravaged by war.
Shota reluctantly put on a smile and pressed the picture of Lihua in his wallet against the somewhat portrait. Then I was ready to start walking in the direction of the school.
It's just that Shota noticed that the one behind him should be a student at Ashford College, and he has been following him since he left the school, but unfortunately his tracking skills are really clumsy. Of course, Shota was sure that the actions he came out today had nothing to do with business, so he let that guy follow him.
It's amateurish to look at technology, do you see through your identity or what's wrong?
Spy and counter-espionage, it looks exciting.
"Hey, well, help me keep up with the tail behind me, and don't startle the snake. Keep an eye on him for me, well, and give it back to me in the evening. β
After a whispered phone call, Shota took a stride and trotted toward Ashford Academy.
"Where did you go again?"
Chito, who was in the house, saw Shota coming back and asked, "Run?"
"Sort of, find someone else by the way. β
Shota, who already had his own judgment, felt a little burdened in his heart, he smiled, looked at Qiandong and said, "What about you?
"Hmm. Oribana Chito nodded, and as soon as Shota returned, she got up from the couch and said, "The doctor has made some fine-tuning based on the last actual battle. β
"So, you want to continue testing?"
"It would be nice if we could do it again. A second group of testers is already on the way. β
"So I don't have a chance to control that thing anymore?" Shota shrugged, showing some discouragement, man, he has no resistance to steel romance or anything.
"However, it is not that simple to practice. Shaking his head, Shota continued: "This part of Tokyo is still relatively safe - at least in Britannia. Want conflict...... Let's go to a more chaotic place. β
"By the way, do you know what the biggest resistance is here? If you have a chance, get in touch with them...... Forget it, that's not something you researchers should be thinking about. β
Shota closed his mouth when he wanted to speak.
"The Japanese Liberation Front, the Fujido of Miracles. β
Oribana Chito suddenly said something strange, and Shota looked at her in surprise and said, "I know a lot." Sit down, now that we're brothers and sisters, there's no need to be so respectful. β
"Also, the usual military style is unacceptable. If someone wants to pay attention, it's still easy to notice. β
Hearing Shota's words, Oriban Chito froze for a moment, then nodded and sat down next to Shota, but still kept a safe distance.
"Fujido's words are indeed a miracle. β
Fujido Kagamishiro is a famous general who has never lost a battle in the war with the British Empire 7 years ago. Also known as the Fujido of miracles. It is the last spiritual symbol of the resurrected...... No, in addition to him, the imperial god of the six families in Kyoto, Rakuya, that girl still has the last blood of the Japanese imperial family left in her body.
It's just that I haven't heard from her for many years, right?
When Japan was invaded by Britannia, she once brought a mission to ask the Chinese Liaison Office to send troops - of course, she was still very young at that time, and she came to the Chinese Federation only as a goodwill, nay, or political tool of the Japanese imperial family.
In fact, it is a marriage.
Shota has seen her once, the black-haired girl who was forced to grow up by the cruel reality, but he has only seen her and paid attention to her.
Because the Chinese Federation rejected their request to send troops. At that time, the Chinese Federation had just been dragged out of the quagmire of the Indochina Peninsula, and with internal reforms and a series of actions, there was no time to estimate the situation in Japan's warβor rather, to be shocked by the KMF in Britannia.
In a region like Japan, which is mountainous and has few plains, the iron flood and iron will that the Chinese Federal Army is most proud of cannot be unleashed, so the Chinese Federation at that time chose the former between Britannia's hypocrisy and support for Japan.
The generation gap in weapons cannot be solved in a year, and even now, let Shota threaten that the Chinese Federation has completely surpassed Britannia, it is only YY.
Of course, some aspects have reached the point of taking the lead. For example, aerospace technology......
"However, there is no way to restore the country without an industrial base based on small actions. β
Shota finally shook his head, no matter what, the current Eleventh District is under the control of Britannia, and it is not capable of having its own military industry at all, which also shows that their weapons are not perfectly sourced and guaranteed.
"It's okay to talk about this. Shota continued to say to Oribana Chito, "Have you seen that green-haired woman downstairs?"
"Hmm. β
Orimada Chito didn't know why he suddenly brought up this topic.
"What do you think of her?"
"It was beautiful. But...... There was a strange feeling in my body. β
"Is it strange?" Shota muttered, it was indeed not outrageous to describe her as strange, but what was that woman? every time she appeared out of thin air and disappeared inexplicably.
"You...... Like it?"
Qiandong didn't know why he asked that, but generally speaking, men always have a bit of a purpose when discussing women.
"That kind of woman ......"
Although it is beautiful, it is too mysterious, and the mystery of a woman is not safe for herself, and she does not like it very much. If you have to say it, a stronger woman will like it more, right? Of course, there is no problem with the sister attribute.
Thinking about this, Xiangtai patted his head, although he has the right to love freely, but it is not up to him to decide who to be the wife in the end - although the Chinese Federation has promoted the feminist movement in modern times and abolished the system of three wives and four concubines, the marriage of the Son of Heaven is ......
The whole country hopes that the royal family will have more strong men. It's still a little too dangerous to pass in one vein.
Therefore, Xiangta has the right to legally open the palace, but Xiangtai, who has tasted that kind of bitterness in his previous life, is still ready to concentrate on finding a girl to like in this life.
Find a direct confession of appetite, fall in love, and get married!
"Let's not talk about this, but if I have time, let's talk about what Japan was like before the war? I'm a little curious about that. For example, what are the national idols, what are the interesting things? β
In the conversation with Oribana Chito, time gradually passed, and although Chito didn't really want to talk about these things, Shota was a good questioner and listened, and talked as he talked.
Before dinner.
"Lelouch Lampeluki. β
Shota leaned against the doorpost and listened to the sweeping employee in front of him whisper, "The target has returned to school life after contacting Lelouch Lampeluki, and there is no abnormality in the slightest. β
After listening to the other party's report, Shota didn't answer his question, just turned around and went into the student union building.
Lelouch ...... Who the hell are you?
"Mr. Wang, have you had dinner?"
"Ready to burn, just came back from outside?"
When Lu Lu corrected when he returned to the student council, he met Shota downstairs and said, "It's much easier to leave all your homework in the classroom and finish it." β
This guy ...... What is the purpose? to go to the slums of Shinjuku to find people, or is there some special purpose?
Lu Luxiu was also glancing at Shota, in the Chinese Federation, most of the people who tied their hair were from some families, of course Lu Luxiu knew this, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was even bigger than he imagined.
Do you want to touch it? as Zero.
The enemy of the enemy is the truth that the enemy is a friend, Lelouch still understands, but in fact, he has no foundation now, and even if he contacts it, he may not be able to gain much benefit.
Let's leave it at that. When you need it, come back and get in touch.
"Well, don't keep Nanali waiting, go back quickly. β
"Yes, Mr. Wang, don't let your sister wait for a long time, let's prepare dinner. β
Shota and Lelouxiu, the two walked face to face with a smile.
Don't let me perceive hostility, Lelouch, for now I can be a child's curiosity and cleverness, but keep tracking...... Nanali may not have a brother in the future.
"Ahh Lelouch, you're back. β
He waved his hand, not realizing that he had already filled Lelouch's room with a pizza box.
"You ......" Lelouch didn't know what to say, but for the sake of the fact that she and herself should be on the same front, and only reminded herself today, he said: "Thank you for today's incident." β
"Hmm...... Did you find anything?"
Looking at the ceiling, it looks a little careless.
"A big fish from the Chinese Federation, our teacher Wang. However, not only do we not have the need for conflict, but there is also the possibility of cooperation. β
Lelouch had a smile on his face, if he could get involved in the line of the Chinese Federation, his chances of success would be greater.
"Big fish? what, I thought he was a court cook. β
"What court cook?"
"Secret. β
Suddenly lay on the bed, hugged the quilt and said, "I slept." β
This is...... My bed!
Lelouch was a little helpless.
Arab League, in Iran.
"Your Highness the Princess. β
"Well, I know. β
The second princess of the empire, the princess of Britannia, Cornelia la Britannia, known as the goddess of martial arts, was frowning at an official report.
"About the final offensive ......"
Its exclusive knight asked with some confusion.
"As always, launch a general attack as soon as the sun rises, obliterating the last rebel forces. β
She did not hide the anger and murderous intent in her words at all, and said: "The KMF formation began to move rapidly in an hour, don't let them have any chance to resist. β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess. β
The Chinese Federation, a military base in southwestern Pakistan.
"General Lai. β
Li Xingke, who had just returned from the Arab League, approached the hall, where all the generals of the 39th Army of the Chinese Federation had gathered.
"Luoyang's order has been conveyed. β
Li Xingke looked at this group of generals in the prime of life with an average age of only about thirty-eight years old, and said, "Assist the Arab Alliance Army to fight against the aggressive activities of Britannia!"
"This is the moment. β
"Damn! I missed the Great Patriotic War in Indochina, and Lao Tzu definitely has to fight this time!"
"Uh-huh. β
One of the older staff officers coughed, signaling the hawkish men not to be too excited, turned to Li Xingke and asked, "How to fight, to what extent?"
"Hit hard. Ensure the independence of at least half of the Arab League. Give the Federal Republic of China another 10 years of development. β
Here, it's the Middle East, it's a big oil country. Even though Sakurashi has become a high-end energy source, ordinary civilian and military energy sources are still oil. The Chinese Federation, which has already made no concessions to the 11 districts, will definitely not make a second mistake.
Having had enough of the petty fights, this time he finally had a real war with Britannia.
"The country is now starting to do a general mobilization, and what we have to do is to stop Britannia's sharp knife before the official declaration of war!"
