"Of course, neither the Empire nor the Scarlet Knights can do without each other. We also need their military help to maintain the current rapidly changing world situation. Of course, we will not violate the agreement with them without reason. If the Scarlet Knights do not change their minds in a short period of time and are willing to continue serving the empire, your Majesty and I will of course be willing to maintain our current relationship with them.m"
Bimax sighed and said something in his heart to Xiao Ran. Nowadays, Butalia does not have much confidence to fall out with the Scarlet Knights. After all, there are still too many places that need the strength of the Scarlet Knights, especially It was the Corgi of the Scarlet Knights who took out a machine like the Soul Slayer again, and this machine also received praise from Knight Lelouch Xiao who was recognized by Bimax. He was very impressed with the hidden strength of the Scarlet Knights. Max didn’t have much confidence in his heart either.
Now, we can only hope to analyze, learn and copy the techniques of the Soul-Slayer as much as possible without actually dismembering the Soul-Slayer. Of course, the preparation technical information that Xiao Ran threw to him can also be used here. It plays an important role, and after Corgi takes out the preparation technical data, it is equivalent to allowing Bimax to do this on behalf of the Scarlet Knights. But what Corgi said before, if there is a big problem in the machine, The problem still has to be sent to the Scarlet Knights for repair, which is also a warning to Bimax not to mess with the Soul Slayer. In the meantime, Bimax knows how to control it.
But Bimax really didn't expect that Corgi would be so generous. Not only did he hand over the body, but he also handed over the maintenance technology for a convenient reason. This is not like Bimax at all. Corgi, whom Max knew, also sighed and said: "But I didn't expect that the Scarlet Knights would actually hand over the maintenance and technical data of the machine. Although it is only a maintenance and technical data, it is almost equivalent." It accounts for one-third of the entire technology of the entire machine body.”
Xiao Ran didn't answer when he heard Bimax's words. From his current position, it was impossible to answer anything, let alone say anything for the Scarlet Knights. As for what kind of answer Bimax wanted to get, it was still It is most appropriate for this guy to think about it himself.
It was normal for Xiao Ran not to answer. Bimax did not expect Xiao Ran to answer why the Scarlet Knights suddenly became so generous. After seeing Xiao Ran just raising his head and facing the soul slayer who had just driven back, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because your appearance made them feel the pressure, so they are also preparing to close the relationship with the empire. They really did the right thing by making you a Knight of the Round Table."
"It's possible, but it won't be just one aspect." Xiao Ran turned around and nodded lightly, and said: "After all, even if there are no airframes provided by the Scarlet Knights, once the new machine project developed in District 11 is Success will also give the empire the ability to manufacture higher-level machines, and it is only a matter of time before all the research and development power of the entire country is gathered to create a sufficiently powerful machine."
"Today's Scarlet Knights still cannot do without the support and help of the empire. Even if they cannot affect the new machine project, they will also worry that the emergence of the new machine will affect their status, and there is also a person like me who can It is natural that people who fight against them while piloting a machine of the same level should feel pressure. Making some appropriate changes is probably to express their stance to the empire and gain more support, and also to properly demonstrate their hidden strength. And when our new machines are manufactured, the empire must still pay attention to them."
Xiao Ran said these words from a very objective standpoint. Of course, he chose to say such words after Bimaxi made this remark, so saying it now would not make Bimaxi think that Xiao Ran was saying it deliberately. Say these words.
Bimax shook his head and thought that what Xiao Ran said was indeed very reasonable. He patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said: "Okay, do you want to go back with me, or are you prepared to stay with this machine for a longer time?" Get familiar with it before going back. Now I will immediately send these things to His Majesty and report today's events. Next, I will immediately form a technical preparation force for this Soul Slayer and prepare it for you. There are a lot of things going on in the next war zone rotation."
Xiao Ran looked at the soul slayer and said, "I'd better go back with you. I don't feel comfortable driving the machine I got from the Scarlet Knights like this. It's best to send someone to check the machine completely. one time."
Bimax also looked at the Soul Slayer and nodded: "It really should be checked."
Sitting in Bimax's car, Xiao Ran followed him back to the city, but he did not go to the palace with Bimax to meet Charles. He got out of the car after being sent back to his place of residence, and then watched the car in which Bimax was riding. He hurried towards the palace again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Don't look at Bimax who seems to be very close to Xiao Ran now, but in fact this guy is Charles's loyal dog. He has the same purpose as Charles but just uses Xiao Ran as a tool to check and balance the blood. The tool of the Knights, and because of Xiao Ran's strength and the importance of checking and balancing the Scarlet Knights, Bimax was so friendly to Xiao Ran. Of course, aside from being a tool, Bimax was based on strength alone. It is indeed necessary to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Ran. After all, Xiao Ran is strong enough and can become the most powerful force in the empire. However, the current situation is that his motives are impure and Xiao Ran is not really regarded as someone worthy of attention. Friends, the so-called friendship is just a disguise, and it is also a means of checking and balancing between the Scarlet Knights and Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran can naturally see Bimax's plan, but it doesn't matter. The so-called sugar-coated bullets are just eating the sugar-coated and spitting out the bullets. The friendliness shown by Bimax is a good thing for Xiao Ran, but it must be a good thing for Xiao Ran. Max could never wait until the day when the cannonballs were exposed, and even if they could see the cannonballs, it would always be when the cannonballs fell on their heads.
Throwing the soul-slayer's technical data to Bimax and indirectly giving it to Charles, the entire empire gradually mastered the soul-slayer's data. Xiao Ran didn't care. Not to mention just preparing the technical data, it was Xiao Ran's complete soul-slayer's technical data. It's not that he doesn't have it in his hands, but he has never thought about developing a machine like the Soul Slayer, because the Soul Slayer is not the most adaptable machine to him.
And if the empire starts to develop the Soul Killer series of machines, it will only be a dispensable thing for Xiao Ran. Being able to develop it will not bring anything to Xiao Ran, and failing to develop it will not cost Xiao Ran anything. The Soul Killer will have nothing to lose. A lot of work needs to be done to achieve mass production. Even if Butaria gathers the technical strength of the entire country to do it, it will be very difficult. It is not as good as the new machine research and development project currently being carried out in District 11. That is Xiao Ran's real best. aspects of concern.
But it doesn’t matter if the empire really researches something. Anyway, the entire empire will fall into the hands of Xiao Ran and Lelouch in the end, and will eventually be passed on to Nunnally and Euphilia, so if it really researches something, then The research will only be conducted for the ultimate beneficiary. It's hard to say whether Corgi has such an idea. Anyway, the person who will benefit in the end will definitely not be Charles.
Xiao Ran then continued to stay in the capital for a period of time. During this period, in addition to being in public with other Round Table knights when necessary, he also cooperated with the newly formed logistics department to carry out various tasks on the soul slayers. As a test, after Charles obtained the technical information of the Scarlet Knights, he generously provided some materials and rewards to the Scarlet Knights. However, some of the rewards did not make them feel comfortable at all to those in the Scarlet Knights. There are things that make them happy, such as money, and of course there are also things that excite them, such as women.
Then a brand new logistics department was set up specifically for the Soul Slayer. Under the label of logistics, it was really the work of the R&D department. There were hundreds of people working on the Soul Slayer under certain restrictions every day. Xiao Ran, as The designated pilot of the Soul Slayer also had to cooperate with the work of this group of technicians during this period in the capital. In the next long period of time, these personnel are expected to follow Xiao Ran and the Soul Slayer to various different locations. The war zone continued their research work on the Soul Slayer.
Apart from this, Xiao Ran basically had nothing else to do during his time in the capital. Unlike other Knights of the Round Table who already had a certain background in the empire, becoming a Knight of the Round Table also gradually grew up. , more or less have their own guards and other forces, as well as their own backgrounds and task areas they are responsible for.
But Xiao Ran suddenly became a Knight of the Round Table and came to the capital. His roots and background were all in District 11. He was not a powerful person, so he was dispensable in the capital. Charles did not arrange anything for Xiao Ran. There was no mention of any other tasks or work, not even the matter that Xiao Ran should form his own escort or bodyguard, nor was he given any other support or help, so in addition to cooperating with the work of the Logistics and Technology Department, That is, there is nothing to do. It can be said that he is the most leisurely and low-key of all the Knights of the Round Table in the empire. He rarely appears in front of others. At most, he only meets with a few other Knights of the Round Table. Under the auspices of Max, he learned about the current situation in each region, and did not take the initiative to propose what he wanted to do.
In the eyes of Bimax and the other Knights of the Round Table, Xiao Ran's current leisure time is normal, because he spends a lot of time on the Soul Slayer, which will naturally give others the feeling that Xiao Ran is now trying to get familiar with the Soul Slayer. The illusion, and there have been many actual operational tests and data entry of the Soul Slayer, other Knights of the Round Table and some people with certain identities in the empire, related to the military and pilots, will also personally Go to the base where the Soul Slayer is now to watch the Soul Slayer's test to determine the Soul Slayer's performance and to learn more about the combat power that Xiao Ran can exert.
However, the test targets are basically some backward kf, tanks or helicopters. It is difficult to truly reflect the powerful strength of the soul slayer using such targets for testing. In a real actual combat confrontation, in addition to Even ordinary people other than the Knights of the Round Table can't bring out the strength of Soul Slayer and Xiao Ran, but in this way it is completely unnecessary. So in the end, what is the real performance of Soul Slayer and Xiao Ran's To those who are paying attention to Soul Slayer and Xiao Ran, just how strong the strength is is still just a mystery that is difficult to solve.
Some people are anxious to know the strength of the soul slayer, but the technical department responsible for the soul slayer is very stable, because the soul slayer is too precious, and there is no telling when they will have the opportunity to learn from the Scarlet Knight next time. The group is building an airframe, so the people in the technical department are waiting to fully understand the technical information and are carrying out highly repetitive and very complicated technical work. They don't care what the outsiders think. Steady Delicately and slowly deepening the familiarity with the Soul Slayer.
Days like this lasted for almost more than a month before hundreds of technicians completed their preliminary work. The next step was to bring Soul Slayer and Xiao Ran to the real war zone for actual combat testing.
In this month, the situation around the empire has become more and more serious. The wars in various parts of the world have also begun to expand, and the frequency of battles has become higher and higher. It can be said that battles are happening all the time in the entire world, and The world has begun to be shrouded in the shadow of war. Even in Butaria, the most powerful country's imperial capital, one can clearly feel the oppression of the war getting closer and closer, and more importantly, the pressure of fighting The scale also began to increase, and more and more unknown powerful machines appeared. Even the Scarlet Knights, in order to maintain the current situation in the border areas of the empire, also sent more personnel at Charles's request or request. The war zone, of course, also received more cherry stones provided by the empire.
The chaos in the whole world is not typical. Even in District 11, there are many situations. The Black Knights also appeared several times, but they did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but appeared in District 11. It will only appear when there is chaos. Once it appears, it will be like a real third party. Whether it is those rebel organizations planning battles and terrorist attacks, or the 11th District garrison that sends out large-scale troops to suppress it, as long as their actions affect innocent people. People, the Black Knights will definitely appear to attack both parties until the incident is completely resolved and then quietly retreat.
