Chapter 18 .zero
"His Highness Clovis has died in battle with the Eleventh Arrondissement, and for the sake of peace and justice, he has been killed! β
At the same time as the man on TV said this, Lelouch and Karen walked over together.
"Insert a news that the person who was witnessed as the murderer has been caught!" said the hostess on TV: "According to the official announcement, it is the honorary Britannian ...... who has been caught"
"First Class Soldier Suzaku of the Pivot Tree. The suspect was originally a resident of District 11 and was an honorary Britannian Shumu Suzaku!"
The scene turns again, and it changes to a young man with brown hair being detained and moving forward.
"Suzaku has always felt a little familiar with this name. β
Shota muttered quietly, and then suddenly thought of something and said, "The Shuki family, the former Japanese Prime Minister's Shuki family." β
However, the personal reactions to hearing Shota's words were a little different, and several student council members had a blank look on their faces, but the expressions on the faces of Lelouch and Nanali were a little shocked.
"Teacher Wang, do you know him?"
Lelouch hurriedly put away the expression on his face and asked in a puzzled tone.
"I don't know. β
Shota shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, I must have some impression of the name of Japan's last prime minister." What about you, Lelouch?"
"I know a little bit about the Shumu family, just like the teacher. β
After Lelouch said quietly, his hand put on the handrail of Nanali's cart and said, "Okay, Nanali, it's been so long, go back and rest?"
"Ahh I know. β
Nanali opened her mouth, but finally agreed.
β......β
"Well, it looks like there's no way to get the banquet going. Mi Lei said a little discouraged, "Maybe the school will be closed in the next few days, right?"
"Well, even if that's the case, you can't waste a table of food. β
Livar said a little heartlessly: "Occasionally school can be closed again, hehe." β
"After all, it's the Governor, it's going to be serious, right?"
Xia Li said with some worry: "It won't affect us, right?"
"Who knows...... Mirey replied, "at least there's no going to be any festive event anytime soon." β
Shota glanced at Oriban Chito, then smiled at the others and said, "Then you eat slowly, I'll accompany Sister Chito tidy up her things, she will stay here for a few days recently." β
"Live here?"
Mi Lei seemed to have just learned about this, and said, "Do you need me to talk to grandpa......?
"No, no. The room assigned to me could have been able to sleep two people. Besides, Sister Qiandong won't settle here. Just ......"
Shota said half-truthfully: "This incident just happened recently, and as a foreigner living outside, I must always be under interrogation, so I'm just a little worried." β
"Yes. This kind of thing happened to His Highness Clovis......"
Milei nodded, indicating that she could understand Shota's dilemma.
"Then we'll go up first. Shota smiled at them and said, "Livar, it's too ugly to eat goodbye." β
"Well, I know the teacher~"
β......β
After entering the room, Shota locked the door directly and said to Oriban Chito: "Don't you have any news?"
"Nope. β
To put it bluntly, Oribana Chidong is just a technician. Not a full-time spy. But no matter why, the Governor who turned District 11 into a half-hell and half-Britannian paradise, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Shota shook his head slightly, then dialed a call.
β...... Toot, toot, toot......"
"Hey, ...... Lai"
"Boom-"
Shota hurriedly pulled the phone away from him, but he quickly realized that the sound just now should be the sound of a cannonball, so he quickly picked up the phone again and said, "Where are you now?"
"Arab League of the Middle East, Your Majesty. β
After a while, Li Xingke's voice came.
"How did you get there?" Shota lifted a tendon while breathing a sigh of relief, how could Li Xingke suddenly appear there? Wait, it seems to have been said a few days ago......
"Britannia's second princess, Cornelia, is now on a frantic offensive there. β
And so it was......
The Arab League in the Middle East is a buffer zone between the Chinese Federation and the European Commonwealth β but in reality, the European front is still crumbling, but even so, no one knows what the purpose of Britannia's victory into the Arab League is.
Taking that area is equivalent to opening up a direct passage into the Chinese Commonwealth - but in contrast, the Britannian army needs to start facing the enemy on both sides. What's more, the people of the Arab world, who are notoriously deadly, will not be as obedient as the people of District 11.
But having said that, the Chinese Federation could not afford to see the Arab League being eaten up in such a bite, so it was also secretly supporting the resistance forces β but now it seems that it is not that simple.
"I'd like to talk to Your Majesty later. The sound of battle came faintly from Li Xingke, and said, "But I didn't expect that our people would be welcomed by the Britannian army as soon as they entered their territory. β
β...... How's it going?"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, it's just a pair of patrols. I'll deal with them in a moment. β
Li Xingke's words reveal absolute self-confidence, known as an all-rounder, he not only has a high talent in command, but also has the strength to control the KMF that surprised even the Knights of the Round Table in Britannia.
"That's good......"
"Your Majesty, the situation seems to be a little bad this time, Cornelia - the other party's boss seems to have shifted his center of gravity, first transforming the Arab League into the eighteen districts in one fell swoop, and then slowly planning it. β
"Fool me into the Chinese Federation, no one?"
"No, the Britannian army will not choose to ignore the attitude of our country, even if no one is in sight. I believe that there will be other news coming from Luoyang soon. β
Li Xingke paused and said, "Please wait for the last general to solve the trouble in front of you first." β
"That wild bee, wait, that livery, that equipment...... It's that guy! That's back!"
The driver of the KMF in Britannia was surprised when he saw the fifth-generation European KMF wild bee that suddenly appeared from the truck in front of him, but he panicked when he saw the other party's camouflage appearance and the simple but frenzied external armament.
Wild Bee - Magic Change!
The only one who can control this machine is the guy on the battlefield in Europe.
Did he chase Her Royal Highness the princess directly here?
Just when the KMF driver wanted to run away - yes, he didn't even have the courage to fight - the thick machine-gun bullets directly swept his lower limbs......
......
After hanging up the phone with Li Xingke, Shota sighed again, it seems that the recent pattern is about to change again. It's just that he doesn't need to worry about most things - he is not the son of heaven in the first place. It's just that his words, at least for now, still have a great influence.
Give Lao Hong a call and ask about the situation?
Rather than dealing with those elixir old men, Shota prefers to talk to the soldiers, at least straightforwardly.
"Lao Hong......"
"Your Majesty. Honggu's voice came after a burst of footsteps, and said, "I was about to call you......"
"In the Zhu Forbidden City?"
"Ah, yes. The ambassador of Britania to the Chinese Federation suddenly came. Probably to coincide with activities on the side of the Arab League...... Or, in connection with the death of the third prince of the governor of the eleventh district. β
Sure enough, it is the same as Li Xingke's analysis. It is impossible for Britannia to ignore the attitude of the Chinese Federation.
"What did they say?"
"The Britannian royal family wants to marry the royal family of the Chinese Federation......"
"Ahemβ"
Shota suddenly choked up, he didn't expect that in this era, there would be people who would use this kind of diplomatic marriage as a means.
"They want to marry a princess?"
β...... No, they are willing to let the Grand Prince of Britannia join the Chinese Federation......"
"Let them go. β
Shota said this without the slightest hesitation. Let an uncle marry his own lovely Lihua? Impossible! Absolutely nothing!
That's what the adults mean. There, Honggu replied, "However, they suggested that if Britannia was willing to marry a princess, it would be worth considering." Of course, it is impossible to make the other party's princess the queen. β
β...... Take a concubine?"
Shota suddenly thought of a good idea, and said: "Remember to say that, if they are willing to marry the second princess to me, no, I don't like that kind of tigress, remember, it is to marry General Li Xingke, then we have a buffer." β
"This ......"
The second princess, Cornelia, is considered the most successful martial arts faction among the princes and queens of Britannia, and she basically has her voice in expanding the territory, and if the other party is willing to send this thorny rose over, Shota will not accept it. Although Shota knew very well that they would never agree to such a thing.
It's nothing more than a rift, in addition to the superficial marriage, there must be more transactions in the dark.
It's just that, on the basis of equal strength, if you want to come up with the benefits of letting the Chinese Federation not help the Arab Federation, it is estimated that Britannia will not agree to it - for example, let the Chinese Federation actually control the eleventh region in exchange.
"That's all. Also, remember to help me monitor the situation here in Japan. β
Shota thought for a moment and added, "It depends on the situation, maybe before the next governor arrives, if there is no accident, I will be ready to return home." β
"It's war again. β
Hanging up the phone, Shota raised his head and looked at Oribana Chito, who had been staring at her silently, and said, "They're ready to start building the Eighteenth District." β
Of the eighteen colonies, except for the 10th district, which was defended with the blood of the Chinese people, none of the other seventeen regions could not escape the fate of being oppressed.
β...... I'll try. β
Weaving Spotted Qiandong, for some reason, suddenly said so.
"The human factor is scaled to very small in the battlefield. Even if you have the strength of the Knights of the Round Table, the enemy's solution to you is nothing more than spending more money and throwing missiles in your face. β
Shota stood up and asked Oriban Chito, "Do you want to go to the front line of the battlefield?"
β...... Yes!"
"Mess with me when you get back home. Provided you take my word for it. β
Shota smiled, Oribana Chito's strength is undoubted, and it is definitely enough to be an excellent sharp knife.
That night, Shota and Chito Ori didn't go out, and the two sat in their chairs and watched Clovis's funeral live on TV.
"I'm ...... zero!β
"Oh?"
Shota looked at the mysterious man who suddenly broke into the convoy, spread his hands on the sofa, and said with a strange smile, "Japan, there are still some interesting people." β
