"Transaction? Or in my identity?" Lelouch was silent for a moment, frowning slightly and said, "What exactly do you want to do? This transaction will not be in my ZERO identity, which means that to complete this transaction, I must use my identity as the prince, right?"
"Sit down first." Xiao Ran smiled and sat down on a stone next to the campfire without any care. Lelouch frowned and sat in the original position, while Saki Maski walked to the side and started to be alert. It was not that she could not hear the next conversation, but to prevent anyone from hearing the next conversation between Xiao Ran and Lelouch.
Lelouch asked directly after sitting down, "What do you think? Who are you conducting this transaction with?"
"Listen to me first." Xiao Ran pressed his left hand slightly, indicating to Lelouch not to worry, and said, "The one who wants to make a deal with us is Crimson Knights who sent someone to monitor Euphemia before."
"What? It's them?" Lelouch suddenly had a look of astonishment on his face, but then he frowned and looked at Xiao Ran: "Have you already been in contact with them?"
"No, I didn't even say anything." Xiao Ran shook his head, and Lelouch was even more puzzled when he heard Xiao Ran's words. "Then why do you want to trade with them? How do you know that they will definitely agree to our deal? And with such an organization?"
"Because they have the power we urgently need now, and they joined Britannia, but have no loyalty to Charles, so there is a prerequisite for a deal."
Xiao Ran saw the puzzled expression on Lelouch's face and knew that Lelouch was not optimistic about reaching a deal with Crimson Knights. At the same time, Xiao Ran also knew that Lelouch doesn't understand Crimson Knights at all, and he doesn't even know what the participants represent after joining the camp, so it is impossible to believe this inexplicable Crimson Knights, and he doesn't think he can get anything from the transaction with Crimson Knights.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran said to Lelouch, "Let me explain the current situation to you first."
Lelouch nodded, and looked at Xiao Ran with a pair of eyes very seriously, and Xiao Ran also said, "First of all, I probably already know that organizations like Crimson Knights in the entire world There should be ten of them. These ten organizations similar to Crimson Knights all possess powerful power, but they are almost completely opposed to each other. After they began to be active on the world stage, they joined different forces and fought for these forces without stopping."
"As for why they join other forces when they have power, it's because of resources. They need forces to provide them with enough resources to develop themselves, but before they develop, they don't have more power, which is not enough to challenge a real big country, so they can only commit themselves to these forces to obtain more resources to develop themselves."
"What you have to understand is that these organizations have many next-generation super machines in their hands. These machines are the real power itself. But to activate these machines, they need extremely huge Sakura Stone resources to drive them. Without Sakura Stone, what they can do is extremely limited. There are no conditions for a full-scale conflict with a big country like Britannia based on its existing strength. This is the real reason why they want to monitor Euphemia and want to control Euphemia to control Area 11."
"And this Crimson Knights is the one among the ten organizations that chose to join Britannia. Apart from Crimson Knights, no organization is joining Britannia. Crimson Knights has no possibility of leaving Britannia to join other forces, and other groups have already chosen forces. The organization will not allow Crimson Knights to join other forces to divide their resources. This also leads to the fact that if Crimson Knights wants to become truly powerful, it can only tightly adhere to Britannia with no possibility of leaving. Similarly, Crimson Knights will not allow another organization to join Britannia to compete for the resources they deserve."
"However, they can only rely on Britannia, but there is no loyalty to Charles at all. It can only be regarded as an employment relationship. When other organizations are also relying on various forces to develop and grow, Crimson Knights also has to do the same thing to strengthen itself, so the current seemingly harmonious situation will not last too long, but it will not be too short."
"In a short period of time, they will only use force in exchange for resources, and then use the resources to obtain more powerful power, and then obtain more resources. But after a long time, when they have obtained the most resources and the strongest power, they can directly abandon Britannia, or even control Britannia in turn, becoming their war tool to eliminate other organizations."
"Charles may have guessed this, so it blocked Crimson Knights's resources very hard. This made Crimson Knights lose the opportunity to quickly expand its power. It is also the key reason for the disagreement between the two parties."
"The current situation is that these ten organizations are playing a game to compete for the entire world. They need strategies, resources, and everything else to slowly develop and strengthen themselves, acquire more resources and territory and then eliminate other organizations, develop from basic weapons to super weapons, try to gain more advantages, and finally win."
"But they are also maggots, gnawing at Britannia's flesh and blood inside Britannia, until they turn back to Britannia and become the real controller. After one of the organizations truly grows up, the conflict between them will cause a life-destroying war in this world until the last party wins. Therefore, for the sake of this world, these organizations will inevitably become our enemies."
"Now these ten organizations have more or less engaged in armed conflicts due to the hostile relationship between the forces they joined, but they have been limited to a certain level that is acceptable to all parties. Because they are unwilling to suffer casualties before gaining strength, and they are also unwilling to be picked off by other organizations, so they have reached a strange balance and focused on development."
"But before they become our enemies, before they take the initiative to break the balance, Crimson Knights can be used by you and me because of what they need. And once the transaction is successful, we will replace Charles's position to restrict them, and And pushing them to start this war before they gain more strength will break the balance between them. Starting the war when their strength is weak will minimize losses and cause them to consume more. Besides, you and I still have something to control them, GEASS."
Lelouch lowered his head as he listened and began to think. He roughly understood what Xiao Ran said. In simple terms, Single Point said that these ten opposing organizations have brought the entire world to a new level. It has become a strategic game, and everyone is ready to wait until it is almost developed and then open the big Final Assault to win the final victory, but Lelouch doesn't know what the purpose of these organizations is to do this, to become a god? Or become the ruler of this world?
Lelouch feels that Xiao Ran must know more, but he knows better that Xiao Ran will definitely not say anything, and from the past to now, All of Xiao Ran's performances show that he can be trusted, and he rarely interferes in Black Knights's affairs. He directly helped Black Knights strengthen a group of people, and also brought out some very special skills.
However, the technology of these bodies and the medicines that can give Enhanced Human similar physical qualities make Lelouch feel a shadow similar to the tissue in Xiao Ran's mouth from Xiao Ran.
After thinking about it, Lelouch felt that some questions should be asked clearly, especially if he wanted to reach a deal with Crimson Knights, then these questions should be asked clearly.
Raising his head, Lelouch looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "What is your relationship with these people and these organizations? Are you from the same place?"
Xiao Ran nodded gently. "It can be said that we are from the same place, but it can also be said that we are not. There is no relationship between us. As smart as you are, I think you should feel it. I have always been on guard against these people bringing more damage to the world. It is for this reason that you develop Black Knights."
"Let me ask you, do you know where GEASS's power comes from?"
Lelouch was puzzled. "Isn't it just C. C?"
"No, C. C is just a terminal, but it is not the real source of power." Xiao Ran shook his head and said to Lelouch, "There are countless Ruinss all over the world. It is impossible to verify when these Ruinss were built. They possess extremely terrifying power. Once turned on, they will be enough to control the entire world and all humans."
"The power of GEASS comes from these Ruins, from another world behind the door of Ruins, one called World of C. This world is completely different from the world you are exposed to now. It is a collection of human consciousness. It can also be said to be something like Alaya or Gaia. Although I know this, I don't know the real situation there."
"To open Ruins and come into contact with World of C, you must first control a system called Akasha System. However, there should be some conditions required to control this system. I am not sure about this. If so, you can actually think of those organizations The purpose is to fight for Akasha System. The emergence of these organizations is also related to this, and I am the protector who protects Akasha System from being used by anyone. Akasha System is our only connection. This is probably the meaning, but whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Lelouch took a deep look at Xiao Ran and suddenly smiled, "I don't think you need to lie to me. Although I don't particularly understand what you said, and I haven't explained clearly what the connection is between you and those people, but at least so far, you are still a trustworthy person."
"Then what are we going to do next."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. Although most of what he said to Lelouch just now were lies, these words were also the only reasons Xiao Ran could think of at the moment.
"This is what I think." Xiao Ran said, "What the other party really needs and relies on is the resources and human support of the country Britannia, but they want to control the country in turn. At present, they do not have the power and ability, and they do not care who the leader of this country is. What they really care about is who among Britannia can bring them more resources, and they can even use their own force for this."
"So you can use your identity as a prince and directly represent Nanalie and Euphemia to reach a deal with them. We will provide them with more resources they need and agree to other conditions. They will pay us the force we need and assist us in the rebellion, and then you or Nanalie will become the new emperor."
Lelouch nodded and asked, "How can we ensure that the deal will be completed and that they will not leak the secret?"
"This group of people will do anything as long as there is profit. When Charles blocked their resources, we stood up and gave them more resources, and they naturally knew which side to choose." Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "And I have a way to hold them hostage, and your GEASS can also control them. I don't have any worries about this."
"What happens after that?"
Xiao Ran's lips curled up. "After that, you need to attract the hatred of the entire world to them, break the balance between these ten organizations and force them to go to war. At the same time, you can also use the power of the emperor to explosively expand Black Knights, and officially establish Black Knights as The savior of the world will wipe out all the organizations in one fell swoop when the fight between them is about to end. Britannia's current hatred and conflicts can all be transferred to them, and Black Knights will naturally become the most transcendent organization in the world and achieve our original goal."
"As for all the technologies needed to develop strength, I will hand them over to you unconditionally."
Lelouch thought about it carefully after listening. Xiao Ran's idea is just a general idea, with not many details. But from this general view, there is indeed a possibility of successful implementation, and it is still very high. However, how to deal with some serious problems is not mentioned at all.
Lelouch asked, "This is just a direction. I don't think there is a problem. But overthrowing Charles and letting me or Nanalie ascend the throne does not guarantee that Britannia will be loyal to us."
"GEASS." Xiao Ran reached out and tapped Lelouch gently. "As long as you issue an order to approve you as the emperor, or you can obtain the allegiance of these opponents through me, there will be no problem. I estimate that many of those Knights of the Round will soon become my loyal subordinates."
