Chapter 2364 Chapter 2401-2402 Pick Up
Xiao Ran's words made Lelouch a little unable to answer. The first sentence allowed some loyal personnel who have been tested to become GEASS ability users, and the next sentence turned GEASS ability users into ten thousand people. To be honest, Lelouch, the one with the GEASS ability, is enough to mess up Eleven. If there were really ten thousand GEASS users, Lelouch would find that scene a bit touching just thinking about it.
But then I thought about it, if Black Knights really had 10,000 GEASS ability users, and all of them remained loyal to Black Knights, that would be a pretty good thing, even if He cannot become the emperor of Britannia, but he can also protect Nanalie as one of the people in power of Black Knights, and protect the entire world from continuing to decay.
Imagining ten thousand people with GEASS abilities, Lelouch muttered to himself, "Ten thousand people, is this really possible?"
Lelouch's quiet voice did not escape Xiao Ran's ears, and Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Do you think ten thousand people are a lot? When human beings enter the universe with the development of time, you will feel that a Ten thousand people are still too few. If the current level of world science and technology continues, I think it is possible to launch a space colonization plan within ten years. Of course, if the world continues to be at war as it is now, then it is estimated that it will not be possible to start such a plan in fifty years."
Lelouch was once again stunned. "WHAT? Space colony?"
Xiao Ran curled his lips and said, "According to my opinion, since Black Knights wants to remain aloof, it must be above everyone's head. It would be more appropriate to place the real base in the universe. And in the universe, no matter what situation occurs on the earth, it can be reached by dropping it as soon as possible. Of course, these are still too far away, and it is meaningless to say too much."
"Isn't it just too far?" Lelouch complained in his heart, "Is this a joke?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's do the things in front of us first." Xiao Ran waved his hand and asked Lelouch: "So what are your results now?"
Lelouch was a little hesitant, but still said, "The progress is not going well, but this is expected. Most people in the Rebel Army organization have doubts about joining Black Knights Attitude, after all, I have not taken any other action except the action of rescuing Suzaku Kururugi, but fortunately there are at least a few people who are willing to believe me. If I take another action, I should be able to suppress all the opposition."
"In other words, there are actually not many people who have officially joined Black Knights. Is that right?" Xiao Ran smiled softly and said, "But this is also a good thing. Since it hasn't started yet, let's establish the rules of Black Knights now. Those who are willing to believe you, and those who are willing to join, it is best to explain the rules clearly to them before joining. The true meaning of Black Knights is to resist the tyranny of Britannia rather than Britannia itself. The stance is to stand on the side of the weak and not to bring war to the world."
"And you also have to tell them that their vision cannot be so narrow. The real goal of Black Knights is to allow the Area 11 people who are currently being bullied to have a better life and to change the current rules and current situation of Britannia. And if it is because of him Their resistance resulted in the death of more innocent Area 11 civilians who should have had a better life. So what was the point of their resistance? Is it just to kill more innocent people?"
"Actually, from the standpoint of the two of us, there is really no need to help them restore the country. Such a country will be destroyed. I am for Euphemia, and you are for Nanalie. I think Area 11 will continue to be controlled by as it is now. Euphemia is better under leadership. Although you have the purpose of revenge against the empire now, you must not forget that once we succeed, the empire belongs to Nanalie. If the empire is really riddled with holes, it will not be a good thing for Nanalie, right?"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, he really thought so in his heart, Neo Japan had better not show up again, because Euphemia is the governor of Area 11, this is to repay Euphemia's kindness, but to be more selfish, Xiao Ran regards Area 11 as his own territory, how could he let Rebel Forces take it back from Euphemia.
And the real role of Black Knights Xiao Ran is not to make them cause trouble in Area 11.
"I know what to do next." Lelouch nodded and said, "I have collected intelligence. Some extreme Resistance Organization may take action in recent times. The purpose is to make the new governor look good and suppress the prestige of Euphemia, so as to gain more support from the resistance forces."
"Isn't this the best time for Black Knights to make his debut?" Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Black Knights made a perfect debut and defeated the extreme Resistance Organization at the same time. E and Imperial Army, raise the banner of justice and let more people join in, whether they are Area 11 people or Britannia people."
Lelouch raised the corner of his mouth. "Logically speaking, shouldn't this be the best time for you, Personal Knight, to make your debut?"
"So there will be a good show then." Xiao Ran stood up with a smile, gathered all the documents on the table together, and said, "Okay, that's it for today. If you have anything difficult to deal with, just contact me. Even if you want to win over people, you have to flex your muscles at the right time to make some people follow us more wholeheartedly."
Lelouch nodded silently, watched Xiao Ran stand up and put away the files, then left the place with Xiao Ran, until Xiao Ran threw away all the files when he walked out the door. After getting in the car, he also took Lelouch back to the city. It wasn't until he got off the car that Lelouch turned to look at Xiao Ran: "Suzaku Kururugi, when will we let him out."
"Tomorrow morning." Xiao Ran said without looking back, "I will have some other arrangements for him next, and I will set this kid up as a model."
Lelouch asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried that he will recognize you?"
"Once the seed of loyalty to me is planted in his heart, there is no longer the possibility of betraying me." Xiao Ran turned to face Lelouch, but because of the mask, Lelouch could not see Xiao Ran. With his eyes, Xiao Ran said, "Compared to the compulsory and executive nature of your GEASS ability, my GEASS ability is an ability that has an unknowing and continuous influence. And as time continues, your loyalty to me will become deeper and deeper, and betrayal is impossible."
Lelouch was silent, opened the car door and walked out directly, waved his hand with his back to Xiao Ran and slowly disappeared into the night.
It was already very late when Xiao Ran returned to the Governor's Mansion. Except for the guards and attendants who were on duty at night, everyone in the mansion, Euphemia and others, had already fallen asleep. Xiao Ran did not disturb anyone. He fell asleep quietly and woke up early the next morning, drove his car and left Governor's Mansion again.
I personally went to Military Court to bring out the impounded Suzaku Kururugi, but I did not have any contact with the Archon during the whole process. I just notified the Archon and asked someone to send Suzaku Kururugi out. As for the consul, during yesterday's dinner with Euphemia, it was clear that Euphemia wanted him to take up the post of Area 11 Deputy Governor and he gave a positive answer.
Xiao Ran didn't know the situation at that time, nor did he know what Euphemia, the consul, and the Guildford who came from afar said at the dinner. However, the consul once again unexpectedly became Deputy Governor. I believe this guy must feel as uncomfortable as eating shit. After arriving at Area 11, all the things he encountered were probably beyond his expectation.
When Suzaku Kururugi was sent to Xiao Ran's car, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Ran sitting in the cab and hadn't gotten out of the car. He noticed Xiao Ran at first sight. Behind the mask of, a figure of a person flashed in his mind, and he immediately trembled when he got into the car. He stood by the car in shock and looked at Xiao Ran, who was waving to him to get in the car.
"You... how could it be you?" Suzaku Kururugi felt a little dizzy. He never thought that he would meet Xiao Ran again in such a first place, and it was someone from the empire who took the initiative to send him to Xiao Ran's car.
"What are you still doing? I feel like I haven't lived here enough and I want to continue living for a while. Get in the car quickly." Xiao Ran's calm voice sounded in Suzaku Kururugi's ears, like a burst of thunder that made Suzaku Kururugi recover from the shock. His throat moved twice, and he slowly turned around to look at the two military policemen behind him who were carrying weapons but had expressionless faces.
He obviously didn't want to get into Xiao Ran's car, or even have anything to do with Xiao Ran, but for some reason, maybe his head was dizzy, or maybe there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was best to follow Xiao Ran's instructions. E did what he said, or maybe he wanted to ask Xiao Ran who he was and what he wanted to do. After a short silence, Suzaku Kururugi took the initiative to get in the car and closed the door.
But there is one thing. At this time, Suzaku Kururugi had no intention of telling anything about Xiao Ran and Rebel Forces. Maybe he thought it was for Lelouch, and he didn't want his friend who risked his life to save him no matter what, to be implicated and threatened. Or maybe he didn't say this at all in his heart.
"Surprised?" Xiao Ran started the car and slowly left Military Court's compound. Without looking at Suzaku Kururugi, he slowly drove the car in the direction of the Council Hall.
Suzaku Kururugi was looking at Xiao Ran, and saw that the sunglasses on Xiao Ran's face had been replaced by a mask, and he also looked at the special uniform Xiao Ran was wearing, but just such a look made Suzaku Kururugi's I was even more shocked, and a special feeling suddenly came to my mind. "This is the uniform worn by a knight. Why is he wearing this uniform? Who is he and whose knight is he? He obviously already has such an identity in the empire, why is he involved with Rebel Forces again?"
Taking a deep breath, Suzaku Kururugi snorted heavily and said, "Who are you?"
Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth. "You spoke so calmly, which is a bit unexpected. In my opinion, you should be the kind of fool who is overheated with passion. In the situation just now, when there were military police around, I thought you would just shout that I am a member of Rebel Forces's group."
Suzaku Kururugi said in a sullen voice, "What's the use of talking about it? Who would believe that a knight is actually related to the leader of Rebel Forces, and the leader of Rebel Forces is actually a good friend of mine. I don't want to implicate him, nor do I want to implicate Nanalie, and I am no longer Imperial Army."
"That's not Rebel Forces, but Black Knights." Xiao Ran turned to look at Suzaku Kururugi, and chuckled, "It is fundamentally different from Rebel Forces, although it will also be an enemy of the empire. The reason why Lelouch is there is not I just used the power of that Rebel Forces to rescue you and see if there are any members worth recruiting. Of course, in our opinion, your idea of changing Britannia internally is a good idea, which is what we want to do, but your approach is wrong. Being willing to sacrifice a few people for the sake of the many is the biggest mistake."
"Your idea is to concentrate on doing things for the empire. Even if it is wrong, you will do it, because you have no ability to change the orders given by the empire. Even if countless civilians are sacrificed as a result, just like the previous massacre, you have no way to stop it and can only watch, but isn't watching on the side also a mistake?"
"No one can sacrifice casually, and no one can decide who to sacrifice. The reason why a group of people are sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation is either cold-blooded or lack of ability. Civilians in particular should not be sacrificed by others. But the person who sacrifices decides to sacrifice himself. No matter what his identity is, as long as it is for the right reason and the right future, then such a sacrifice is valuable and truly righteous. What you originally wanted to do was just to help the evildoer."
Suzaku Kururugi stopped talking. He knew that he was no match for Xiao Ran in terms of speaking skills. What Xiao Ran said was indeed reasonable, and he himself was not the kind of person who was particularly good at talking. The only option was to close his mouth and not answer, but his clenched fists showed that he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
Xiao Ran glanced at Suzaku Kururugi and said, "As for Black Knights, it will officially appear in this world soon, and you will definitely be one of them. When the time comes, you will understand that what I am doing now, what Lelouch is doing now is truly correct. It is not for ourselves, nor for the Rebel Army. The purpose is also to hope that the world can change Better, I don't know if you know the true identities of Lelouch and Nanalie. One of them is the prince of the Royal Family, and the other is Royal Family. Princess, with her status as Lelouch, is willing to take risks and establish Black Knights to change the world. How much do you know about his experience and why do you do this?"
"I'll leave this to you to think about it slowly. From now on, your identity is my disciple. In addition to you, Jeremiah is also my disciple. I have found a task for you in the special dispatch. I hope you can do well what I have arranged for you and cooperate with the special dispatch to complete the final adjustments to Lancelot., say what should be said and what should not be said, my identity and the identity of Lelouch are things that are not allowed to be revealed. Before you fully understand what we want to do and what kind of changes we will bring to the world, just open your eyes and take a good look, and then make a final conclusion."
