As soon as Xiao Ran left, Lloyd called Cecil into the office. After giving Cecil the parameters and suggestion records that Xiao Ran had just adjusted, he asked Cecil to seal his office. If there was no request, he would do anything. No one can come in and disturb his work.
It took Xiao Ran about half an hour to enter and exit the council hall. Even after entering the special area, he didn't even have the slightest idea of visiting. This was quite normal for Xiao Ran. Well, even if the special research institute in this world could create a machine like kf, it was still quite backward in Xiao Ran's eyes.
Even among the crew, Xiao Ran rarely ran towards the technical department, and would only go there when something really happened. All the things inside were handled by Luo and the others. Xiao Ran only had to talk, and in the end he would take it. It would be enough to come over to Xiao Ran with the finished product information and demonstrate it.
Xiao Ran would not even visit higher-end and more advanced places, let alone the small special mission research institute which was quite backward in his eyes. In fact, Xiao Ran only knew one thing about technology but not the other. He could understand the surface but not understand it. In terms of connotation, naturally he doesn't care much about technology-related things. Of course, Xiao Ran still has quite a lot of patience for collecting extremely fast things.
After coming out of the Council Hall, there were still several hours left before the appointment with Lelouch. However, Xiao Ran had no intention of going back to the Governor's Mansion again. He drove directly back to the Shumu Suzaku, which was supposed to belong to Shumu, but was In the house that Xiao Ran occupied, he held a lot of documents and started reading them directly in the guest room.
The thick documents were all obtained from the senior officials of the Eleventh District today. They include all the administrative documents and various reports of the entire Eleventh District in recent years. They are the entire Eleventh District and not just Xiao Ran's current work. This city I live in.
After carefully reading page after page, Xiao Ran began to understand everything about the entire eleventh district from these administrative documents and various reports. At the same time, he also relied on the current situation in the eleventh district, the production and production of cherry stone. Exports, military configuration and other details can be used to deduce the status of the entire empire.
From the connections in various documents and reports, Xiao Ran could indeed see a lot of things from them. The most typical one was that during the period when Cullowis was the governor, there were many connections between the flows of funds within District 11. The problem is that these are not clean places. As for the flow of funds, there are only a few aspects.
Judging from many details, it can be seen that Kurowisi once created a confidential laboratory, but it should have been cleaned up now. On the other hand, it was transferred to the current super-standard personal guard force, and finally the library Lowes’ huge personal expenses.
And more or less, in many cities in District 11, including the city where the headquarters is now located, there are also some problems, such as abnormal military mobilization, although in the end they were all justified by exercises and inspections. , but every drill and inspection is often accompanied by a large consumption of military supplies, as well as losses and sacrifices that should not occur. This also allows Xiao Ran to see some not good signs from it. This is definitely true. military operations.
To speculate, it is estimated that during the Kulowis period, the rebel movements within District 11 were rampant, or it may be due to some special reasons. In short, in order to ensure the stability of his position, Kulowis should have appeared in District 11. He carried out many military operations, but in the end they were covered up, creating an illusion of stability and peace in District 11. But in Xiao Ran's view, the truth that happened under these illusions should be more likely to be Kuro Weiss massacred without evidence, or the battle was lost.
Because according to the character of that guy Kulowis, if the resistance really appears and there is sufficient evidence, and the resistance is finally wiped out, Kulowis will definitely regard it as his own merit. I wish he could Stick it on his own face, and if he launched a military operation without evidence and massacred many civilians during the operation, covering it up would not damage his great glory.
There are also some minor problems with officials, but they are insignificant in Xiao Ran's eyes. None of the current documents and information clearly indicate who has the problems. These things are all speculated by Xiao Ran himself. In Xiao Ran's eyes, It's not something that must be dealt with. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Xiao Ran understands this very well, but as long as it is within a certain range that he can accept, there won't be too many problems. And now he and Euphilia The power of these officials and nobles is also needed. As long as the previous things did not cross the line, it can be treated as if nothing happened.
As for what should be done, what should not be done, and how to do certain things in the future, Xiao Ran will naturally let these officials and nobles know through his own statements and actions, and the rest will be nothing special.
But it has to be said that in Butalia, the prestige of the royal family is terrifyingly high, and the loyalty of the people below to the royal family is also terrifying. There are small problems, but Xiao Ran has not found anything from the problems he has seen. The big problem is that even if there are traces of reaching out randomly, the interior is completely maintained at an acceptable level. Basically, it is just some conveniences and small advantages.
As for the outside world, the Brittalians have never truly regarded the people of District 11 as equals to them. No one cares about how they reach out, and all internal conflicts have been transferred to the outside. Even the royal family has This is basically the default rule of the empire of Britalia.
Looking at it this way, if you choose to overthrow the Butalia royal family from the outside, it will become very troublesome, and it will almost become a situation where the entire Butalia kingdom is the enemy. But if you push someone to the throne from within the royal family, If so, then things would be much simpler, and Xiao Ran also felt that he had made the right move by choosing to become a Knight of Euphilia.
After Xiao Ran finished reading everything, he also sorted out the information and reports according to importance, timeliness and documents that needed to be processed. The final ones were less than one percent of the original thickness, and then he took out his pen. I gave instructions on the document, and at the same time, based on my current understanding of District 11, I wrote some new administrative plans and arrangements. These things will eventually be sent to Euphilia's hands, through Euphilia's Hands on implementation of the entire eleventh district.
According to the agreed time, Lelouch walked into the living room neither early nor late, and saw Xiao Ran who was giving instructions on the documents. He glanced at the piles of documents on the table, and Lelouch sat silently. Opposite Xiao Ran, a pair of eyes quickly scanned every document he could see, but only a few seconds passed before a surprised expression appeared on Lelouch's face.
After Xiao Ran disposed of the documents in his hand, he covered the documents and put them aside. He smiled at Lelouch and said, "It's quite on time, it was just two o'clock."
Lelouch nodded silently and asked, "How did you get these things?"
"That's how I got it." Xiao Ran put the pen back into his pocket and said, "As long as I tell them that I want all the administrative documents and reports in recent years, they will take the initiative to send them to me."
Of course, Lu Luxiu's meaning was clear to Xiao Ran. He was asking how Xiao Ran could get these things that only high-ranking government officials in District 11 had access to, and also put them in such complete order in front of Xiao Ran.
Lelouch also fully understood Xiao Ran's answer. It didn't take any effort at all, just one sentence could make those officials come up to him. At the same time, Xiao Ran was showing Lelouch his status and power in District 11.
Lelouch took a breath: "I didn't expect you to reach this level in such a short time. Sure enough, this country has become corrupt. Even people with unknown origins like you can become knights, and they can also Exposed to these things... Euphilia, you have become her exclusive knight, right? If she is still the same as before, huh, this is not without function, but Cornelia has no one to send someone to assist her. Huh? I don’t believe that the people sent by Cornelia will let you do whatever you want in District 11.”
"I am not a person of unknown origin." Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said, "My identity is Lelouch Xiao, a member of the imperial aristocracy and an operator of the special secret force. I quit the army a few years ago. All actions The files were destroyed, so the identity is completely reliable, and becoming a knight is no big deal.”
"As the governor's exclusive knight, isn't it normal to have to help the governor solve his problems, and to understand the environment in which the people being guarded work? In this case, what's weird about me coming into contact with these things? I can If you act recklessly, it will only be good for you and not harmful. I think you should know this better than me."
"Also, it's not like Cornelia didn't send someone here, but this is District 11, and the governor is Euphilia."
A trace of ridicule appeared on Lelouch's face: "That's why Euphilia can decide everything in District 11, and as the exclusive knight, you can control everything."
Xiao Ran smiled nonchalantly: "But at least this is a good thing for Nunnally, you, and Euphilia, right? At least I won't do anything to hurt or betray you. On the contrary, I will Help Nunnally ascend to the throne of God, help Euphilia control District 11, and at the same time help you change this decadent empire, and at the same time help the people in District 11 gain a more equal status. This is just killing multiple birds with one stone, but I also I have to admit, Euphilia’s kindness really touched me, so I will concentrate on helping her in the future.”
Lelouch chose to remain silent. At least he couldn't refute the words spoken by Xiao Ran. At least Xiao Ran's current purpose in front of him was still unclear, but he did give his power to him and was willing to help Nunnally become a The emperor of this country.
"The emotions have almost been vented, but what will happen even if Euphilia knows Nunnally's identity? She will only protect Nunnally better. I think you should be very fond of Euphilia's character. It’s better to be clear, and didn’t you guys have a very good relationship in the past?”
Xiao Ran glanced at Lelouch with a half-smile, and said: "I called you here this time to communicate the situation between us. As for me, I have become Euphilia's exclusive knight, and I will She is the spokesperson of Euphilia’s rights and the second most powerful person in District 11.”
"As for Euphilia's idea, she hopes to build District 11 into a special zone so that the people in District 11 can have equal status with the Butalia people and integrate together truly peacefully. I will do my best to help her with this. Achieved.”
"I knew it." Lelouch sighed, shook his head and said, "With her character, she will indeed have such naive thoughts. If you want to help her, but also want me to secretly strengthen the Black Knights, is it possible? You don’t know that if Euphilia really does this, it is very likely that the Black Knights will be forced to disband before they can grow stronger. Without the guidance of hatred, how can I grow the Black Knights?”
Xiao Ran said: "This is very simple. Just change your stance and let the Black Knights have a double standard."
Lelouch glanced at Xiao Ran in confusion. Xiao Ran didn't mean to show off, so he said directly: "The existence of the Black Knights does not conflict with the establishment of a special economic zone, and even now the entire eleventh district Butalia People are still full of oppression towards the people of District 11, and there is hatred between the two sides that cannot be eliminated. It will be a long time before Euphilia officially proposes the special economic zone."
"So at this stage, the Black Knights can still do a lot. It is of course necessary to gather the rebels, but the Black Knights cannot simply appear in District 11 as rebels, but should become a The protector who stands on the side of the weak becomes a messenger of justice, resisting the tyranny of Butalia and all the atrocities in the world, and will become the greatest source of confidence to improve the status of the civilians in District 11."
"We must choose to develop ourselves in the right way, so that our status becomes more transcendent. Not only does Butalia's tyranny need to be destroyed, but we also need to destroy the extreme behavior of many resistance groups in District 11. Stop it. When the Black Knights are still weak, we can only focus on this area for the time being. But when the Black Knights gradually expand, then you have to lead the Black Knights and focus on the entire eleventh district. , put it into the whole world.”
"At that time, the Black Knights will become an important force to protect the peace of this world, and will also become the most transcendent force independent of all national forces. The name of eternal justice will prevail over all forces, allowing all forces to Maintain peace forever with the careerists under the threat of the Black Knights."
