The establishment of the European Federation was very sudden. After receiving the news, Xiao Ran went directly to the palace and entered the political palace. When Xiao Ran entered the political palace, he saw many people who had come one step ahead of him. Lu Lu Xiu was sitting in his seat, looking at the huge screen in front of him like everyone else, and what was playing on the screen was the news report about the establishment of the European Federation.
Xiao Ran, who came in, also nodded slightly to the people in the room, stood aside and focused his eyes on the screen, without disturbing others or making any other movements, quietly watching the content of the news.
Now the news is talking about the topic of the establishment system of the European Union. In the future, there will not be any EU member states, but the countries will be changed to states. The original laws will be appropriately modified according to the conditions of each state, and the military affairs will be There will be unified management. The original leaders of various countries will step down and dissolve the original governments. However, for the time being, the administrative structure will be maintained and gradually replaced or changed the administrative methods, while the upper and lower houses will be established.
Next, the House of Lords will be established first, and the election of members will begin immediately, and then the president will be elected within three days and so on.
Xiao Ran looked at the content on the news and felt a familiar operation directly from the news. Whether these things seemed to Xiao Ran, Lelouch or others in the political palace, they were all the same. It is just a performance for the common people. In fact, whether it is the so-called parliamentarians or the president, everything should have been decided before. But suddenly the EU alliance becomes a federation, and the preparations and arrangements that need to be made are also It has been done a long time ago, and the excitement and chaos it seems now are all just a deliberately staged drama, but this drama still has some practical use.
Looking at the factual reports in the news, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. The change of EU was really a cool operation. It gained a lot of evaluation weight without losing any blood. From the perspective of a participant, Prometheus Judging from Sri Lanka's rules, the changes on EU's side simply gave the participants there a considerable advantage, and Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on there.
The participants who originally joined EU were probably mainly Ron, as Corgi said. The force they joined was actually not EU, but a separate country in EU. It was just because EU itself belonged to the alliance. It is natural to fight as EU under the large collective of EU, and there is reason to believe that the three legions of the participants must have been mixed into different countries of the EU alliance, and have been infiltrating the rights of the EU as a whole.
But the EU can represent them, but they cannot represent the EU, because essentially they are just joining one of the countries, not the larger collective of the EU.
And when the opportunity was right, all the arrangements and preparations were in place, and it was finally time for them to take action. In the name and position of joining the force, they directly annexed all other EU countries, destroying EU in name and in reality. After destroying all the countries of the EU alliance and directly annexing them, a larger force was established in the name of joining the force by using everything that was originally owned by these countries, and it was also a huge force directly controlled by that group of participants.
In this way, it is equivalent to a force that was originally a small country, and turned into a super large force in an instant. The territory has been expanded countless times, the population has been expanded countless times, and the power has been expanded countless times. Of course, this is actually Nothing has changed. The European Federation is actually still the same EU. It’s just that the name has changed and the fundamentals have changed. The only ones who really get the benefits are the group of participants. They have strengthened their power, strengthened their army, and destroyed it. Many forces seem to have no difference at all, but judging from the rules of Prometheus, they have made a lot of money and have indeed strengthened the forces that joined.
"The participants over there can actually do such an operation. If it is the person named Ron who is planning and arranging everything behind the scenes, then this Ron is indeed something not to be underestimated. He can even do such an operation. There is still something coming out. They are not just super-type reckless men. No wonder the other two legions are willing to join forces with them. Even the previous Roaring Lion legion is willing to cooperate with them. They can pool their strength together and achieve a win-win situation. Everyone can get something. The benefits really are no reason to fight.”
"The eu100 that was originally composed of 1 of your own and 99 of other forces has completely turned into 100 that belongs to you. The total is 100 but the ownership has changed. This kind of conceptual replacement is somewhat interesting, but it is also in line with the general public. Mission rules issued by Michus."
"Then what's next, are we going to fight hard and maintain our current share, or are we going to gather all our forces and start attacking Butaria, the biggest obstacle? Suddenly, the EU alliance has become the European Federation, and the original plan has also changed. It’s not that easy to use anymore, this operating mode is really familiar to me.”
"Could it be that he knows the conditions for obtaining the camp territory? If that is the case, there must be a backend behind Ron, but even if he knows the conditions, it is not that simple to obtain the camp territory. There should be other things here. It’s such a shameless operation, haha, it’s really interesting. If I really know and am prepared to do this, I can’t turn a blind eye. I don’t want this world, but I’m not prepared to leave it to others either.”
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and walked towards Lelouch while everyone in the palace was still paying attention to the content of the news. At this time, Lelouch's face was also a little heavy, and he didn't understand that EU's power would change after this time. It is more coordinated, more united, and more threatening to Butaria. What I don’t understand is how can so many countries in the EU Union suddenly become unified without any news being leaked
"Get ready for war. Let Lloyd speed up. From today on, the new aircraft will fully enter the mass production stage. Start selecting outstanding pilots from all teams and take the lead in establishing a team. Before the mass production aircraft is released, the aircraft body will be inspected first. Get familiarized.”
Lelouch nodded and frowned slightly as he analyzed the reasons for Xiao Ran's arrangement. Everyone else in the palace also heard what Xiao Ran said to Lelouch, which was more like an order. This made some people a little stunned. But Schneizel, who was also present, was not surprised at all, because he had long seen the priority of the cooperative relationship between Xiao Ran and Lelouch.
Lelouch didn't mind the astonishment in some people's eyes, but sighed slightly: "Is there going to be another war?"
Xiao Ran nodded lightly and his tone became solemn: "The situation has changed. All previous arrangements are invalid. Now the world has been completely divided into two poles due to the emergence of the European Federation. Forces that do not join any of the poles will be directly eliminated. , it is not that easy for the Black Knights to ignore it, continue to maintain that kind of neutrality and only intervene in the war, regardless of the fact that adhering to the original approach may be harmful to you, this country, Nunnally Euphilia, and There will be big trouble in this world, a kind of trouble you never want to see."
Lelouch raised his head, the expression on his face became a little surprised, his eyes were full of doubts and confusion, but for some reasons Lelouch had to speak tactfully: "You want the Black Knights to join Are you coming to join the war?"
Of course Xiao Ran knew what Lelouch was talking about. He was asking whether he really wanted the Black Knights to reveal their identity and then merge into Butaria. But of course Xiao Ran's answer was yes, and some words were Lu Luxiu's. Lu Xiu felt that it was not good to be too straightforward, but Xiao Ran also had more things that he must not say.
Xiao Ran felt that the participant named Ron was probably planning the camp territory. Of course, it was only possible, but even if there was only one percent chance of achieving that step, Xiao Ran would never sit back and watch that one percent continue to develop, otherwise If the other party is really trying to gain territory for the camp, then Lelouch, Nunnally, Euphilia, and Cornelia will not have an easy time in the future.
Therefore, Xiao Ran decided to abandon all the arrangements he had made before, including the arrangement for the Black Knights to act as an independent entity to check and balance the entire world, and directly disclose the identity of the leader of the Black Knights. Although this would have a great impact, these The impact can be completely eliminated and dealt with. As long as Lelouch completely changes the direction of Butaria's national affairs as emperor, it can be solved. Other unbreakable impacts are nothing compared to the consequences of the other party's successful acquisition of camp territory. It’s really nothing.
After a pause, Xiao Ran nodded, and without caring about the other people present, he said directly: "Well, that's right, but it's not about merging, but for you to reveal your identity as the leader of the Black Knights. In this capacity Come and lead this country and declare that the Black Knights have become the real masters of Butaria, not just the emperor of Butaria. Once the war is over, you will abdicate immediately and let Nunnally and Euphilia become the country. The leader will continue to protect the peace of this earth as the leader of the Black Knights and as the former emperor of Butaria, but that is the next step, and now the country will immediately enter a state of war."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he didn't care how many people present had various expressions on their faces after hearing these words. He looked at the news on the screen in front of him and said: "While the most important drama hasn't started yet, I think I It's better to go over and interrupt them first."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned back and looked at Lelouch: "If you don't want to be trapped in regret and hatred for the rest of your life, then you have no other choice."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Lelouch and left the palace directly. At the same time, he took out his communicator and contacted several people, including Saki, Corgi, and Seleus.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ran entered the Scarlet Knights' station again and saw Pendragon falling from the sky, Corgi and his group of men who looked excited, and Seleus who looked complicated and hesitant.
Xiao Ran did not waste any more time. After walking in front of a group of people, he said directly to Seleus: "It's not a short time to come and go. How are you discussing with your members? Now Can you give me an accurate answer, but before answering my question, I want to ask you another question first."
"As you said before, you don't want to confront the EU legions, but now the situation has changed. If we don't act, the consequences may be serious. But relatively speaking, I don't want to see such consequences. For you, It doesn’t matter what your answer is, all the guarantees I gave you before will not change in any way because of this."
Selleus looked at Xiao Ran. Although he could only see half of Xiao Ran's face that was not covered by the mask, he also felt the seriousness and solemnity in Xiao Ran's words. Selleus didn't know why. Suddenly everything seemed to have become tense, and that idiot Corgi didn't even understand what the situation was.
Taking a deep breath, Selleus suddenly calmed down a lot. He glanced at Corgi beside him, who was still looking like a fool and had started to move in a stupid direction. He sighed feebly and said calmly: " The current roaring lion corps can only be considered second-rate at best, maybe not even second-rate to be honest. Being able to join a first-class or even top-level corps, and all members can get better support and development, can get so much The benefits of being able to have a territory that truly belongs to you, being able to get the protection of the strong, and having a powerful body, so that everyone can get more prerequisites to survive and become stronger, there is not much worth considering. "
"I join. I accept the invitation of the Burning Legion on behalf of the Roaring Lion Legion and merge all members into the Burning Legion. Hello, Commander Xiao Ran. Since you have become a member of the Burning Legion, the other legions in this mission are our enemies. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t take action.”
Xiao Ran directly sent a contract to Seleus. After Seleus signed it without hesitation, Xiao Ran received a reply with the same solemn promise: "Everything I said will never be broken. Every member Everyone will receive fair authority and receive all support and benefits at the corresponding level and authority. You are welcome to join, and the Burning Legion will never let any family member down."
"As for all the resources that originally belonged to your own legion after you joined the legion, except for the technology and important materials that will be charged to the legion, there will be no restrictions on all other legions. If they are all given to the legion, I will use them accordingly. In exchange for points, I also hope that you can distribute these points to every member in a relatively fair manner."
"Now." Xiao Ran glanced at everyone standing behind Seleus and Corgi, and said loudly: "As the commander of the Burning Legion, I issue my first order to you, use all the forces that can be gathered to Gather them all, use all available resources, and the decisive battle begins."
