Xiao Ran didn't leave the whole morning as soon as he entered the office. Cornelia walked out of his office during the lunch break. Looking at the door of Xiao Ran's office that was still tightly closed, he couldn't help but stop. He frowned slightly and asked the adjutant next to him, "Knight Lelouch is still in there?"
The adjutant reflexively looked in the direction of Xiao Ran's office, and then nodded and replied, "Yes, Knight Lelouch has been shutting himself in the office since he came here in the morning, and it seems he has never come out."
Cornelia nodded and asked, "Where is the secretary assigned to him?"
There was a little hesitation on the adjutant's face. "This should be more appropriate for Mr. Knight Lelouch to choose, right?"
Cornelia pondered for a while, waved his hands and took steps. He was not going to Xiao Ran's office, but preparing to leave directly. Without looking back, he said to the adjutant who was following him, "Go and make arrangements and ask Knight Lelouch what his requirements are. It won't work like this without a secretary waiting to help you all morning. Do you know what exactly Knight Lelouch did today?"
"Knight Lelouch Master came here in the morning and asked for all the reports, videos, analysis data, inside information and so on from the front lines in the recent period."
Cornelia nodded. "I understand, let's inform the entire district that Knight Lelouch has become Area 19 Deputy Governor. Now that we are in a special situation, there is no need to hold an inauguration ceremony."
The adjutant nodded to express his understanding, and then said, "There is a message from the hospital saying that Mr. Knight Monica has woken up. Does Your Highness need to go and have a look?"
Cornelia said, "Well, it's appropriate to pay a visit. Inform the hospital that I will go there after lunch, and also ask the hospital to take good care of Knight Monica."
At this time, Xiao Ran's office door suddenly opened, and the sound made Cornelia stop his steps and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. Then he saw Xiao Ran wearing a mask walking out slowly.
Coming out of the office, Xiao Ran also saw Cornelia and her adjutant parked in the corridor. She nodded to them, then gently closed the door and walked over. "Governor Cornelia."
"Lelouch Deputy Governor." Cornelia nodded steadily and raised his hand slightly to signal Xiao Ran to join him. "Deputy Governor has been working since you came here in the morning?"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "Yes, now that I have become Deputy Governor of Area 19, I also need a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the various situations about Area 19 and the divisions of the army., the situation of each stronghold, the information of the officers, etc., there are so many things to do, it is estimated that it will be difficult to grasp the entire situation of Area 19 in a few days. This is much more and more detailed than before becoming Deputy Governor."
When outsiders were around, Cornelia behaved very normally in his relationship with Xiao Ran, just like real ordinary colleagues, cold and polite. When Xiao Ran said this, he also said, "If you need anything, you can just ask my adjutant. All confidential information of Area 19 will be completely handled by Deputy Governor, you are open. Just now I was saying that Deputy Governor might need to be an adjutant or secretary to help Deputy Governor get familiar with Area 19's situation as soon as possible. At the worst, he can serve tea and water when Deputy Governor is busy. Does Deputy Governor have any requirements in this regard?"
"I really need a deputy who can help me." Xiao Ran was not polite, and said without hesitation or thinking, "It is best to have someone who really understands Area 19, especially the current military arrangements. You can't be confused when asking questions. If possible, it is best to arrange a woman. After all, women are more careful and take better care of others."
Cornelia raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ran, then nodded calmly. "Adjutant, you will be responsible for this matter."
"Understood."
After the adjutant answered, Cornelia added, "If everything is okay, we can have lunch together and then go to the hospital to see Monica?"
Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay, I have no objection."
Along the way, Cornelia also asked, "I wonder if Deputy Governor gained anything from the work this morning?"
Xiao Ran said, "We have gained a lot, but it is not of much help to the current Area 19, and we have not found a real solution to the current Area 19 frontline situation. What arrangements and layouts are to be made, or even a counterattack against the EU and Rebel Army, must wait until domestic military support arrives."
"Now we still lack the high-end power that can change the situation of the war, so even if we have some ideas, it is meaningless without implementers."
Cornelia also understands the current situation very well, and it is not that he has not communicated with Xiao Ran about this issue. There is no surprise for Xiao Ran to say these words, but there is also no surprise. He can only ask, "As for the current situation and what to do next, does Deputy Governor have no other opinions?"
"No matter what you want to do, you have to wait until the support arrives." Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia, raised his head slightly and said, "As for the idea, I don't have anything to say if His Highness wants to hear it."
"Please tell me."
"After reading the information all morning, I can roughly see that the EU has not invested much real high-end combat power in suppressing the empire. Nowadays, the high-end combat power of the enemy we face is mostly invested by the Rebel Army organization, while the Military Strength invested by the EU is mostly based on conventional Military Strength. The two sides should have reached some cooperation to some extent."
"European parties have also invested only a small amount of high-end combat power on the frontline battlefield, but the number of these high-end combat capabilities is also small. However, we cannot think that the EU has not invested more high-end combat power because they do not have higher-end power in their hands. Whether it is hidden or invested elsewhere, we cannot know yet, or it may be both."
"But for Area 19 alone, the EU only relies on conventional forces of an order of magnitude combined with a small number of high-end forces. In its attack on us, it mainly relies on scale to suppress it. On the contrary, Resistance Organization does not have many conventional forces, but has invested more high-end forces as the main attack. Therefore, the threat of Resistance Organization is greater than the threat to us from the EU."
"But as I just said, the EU will not have more high-end power, but their energy has been drawn in a direction that we don't know. But once they can free their hands, the threats and difficulties Area 19 will face will become greater. And now before they free their hands, it is the weakest stage and our best opportunity."
"I plan to launch a large-scale combat operation after the support of Crimson Knights arrives. The strategic goal to be achieved is to completely defeat one of the two parties that is now a threat to Area 19, and then significantly weaken the other party. As for the choice of the target, of course it is best to focus on the Rebel Army organization."
"After all, even if the EU's current high-end combat power is wiped out now, they can still supplement the high-end combat power, and it will also allow them to focus on Area 19 at the first time. However, if the Rebel Army organization is completely wiped out, and the EU's normal If the conventional forces are significantly weakened, even if the EU notices and sends more high-end combat forces, the enemies we have to face will become one instead of two. Moreover, without the support of conventional forces, the pressure we will face will be much smaller, and the possibility of large-scale battles will also be reduced."
Cornelia nodded and slowed down. At the same time, the three of them entered the restaurant. When the two were arranged in a separate room and the adjutant left to prepare meals for the two officers, Cornelia started again. Mouth: "Is this your idea, to take the initiative to launch a larger-scale war? To achieve this, not only Crimson Knights needs to be the main core, but the entire Area 19 Military Strength must also be mobilized?"
Xiao Ran said leisurely, "There is nothing we can do about it. No matter how good Crimson Knights's performance is, no matter how much I can exert more power on the battlefield, there will always be gaps and things that cannot be taken into account. What we want to win is not just a point, but a real war. Unless we are like the other side, only attacking without occupying and not encircling and suppressing, otherwise once we start taking action, it will be a full-scale war that must hit the core of the enemy with one blow."
Cornelia's brows wrinkled slightly. He lowered his head and couldn't see how strong she still was. There was only hesitation and hesitation. She couldn't be strong in front of Xiao Ran alone. Moreover, Cornelia was not determined to start a full-scale battle. She was just thinking about whether Area 19 was qualified to start such a war after retreating step by step.
After a long time, Cornelia raised his head. "How long do we have to prepare? To conduct a full-scale battle, a lot of preparations are required, and I have to make arrangements for these in advance."
Xiao Ran glanced at Cornelia: "I'm afraid it won't be too much. You have to complete all the preparations within a few days, and I will complete this strategic goal within half a month."
Cornelia looked at the masked Xiao Ran and sighed softly, "That means you will end all this as quickly as possible and leave here, right? Are you so eager to leave here? Do you have to do this?"
"You are thinking too much." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "This war can only be fought quickly or slowly. We must achieve our goal before the EU can really react, because we don't know when the other side will put its real focus on this continent. Once the other side draws out its energy and even uses all the resources of the entire EU, then Britannia In the case of E, even with the full help of Crimson Knights, Britannia still cannot escape the end of being destroyed. This is also to involve the energy of the high-end forces in the EU. No matter what they want to do, they will not be able to invest all their energy there, but must send some of their forces to guard against us and be wary of us."
"And not only Area 19's actions must be accelerated, but Lelouch's actions must also be accelerated. Now the empire is in turmoil. Not only are the border areas facing increasing pressure, but after waiting for a while, it is estimated that the empire's front will also fall into a complete defeat. Even if the work of new machines is completed, it will not be equipped in a short time."
"Once the vast majority of the territory is lost, even if there are new machines at that time, it will be impossible to regain the lost territory. We cannot delay time to allow our enemies to gain more growth, and the only power we can rely on now is actually Crimson Knights, but Charles I don't need to say much about 's attitude towards Crimson Knights. As long as they miss the best development of Golden Age, no matter how much they value and trust Crimson Knights in the future, it will be meaningless to give them unlimited resources for development."
"If we want to solve the biggest problem in the empire now, it's not just Area 19, not just the troubles encountered in each border area. The real problem lies only with Charles, at least in my opinion. Only by overthrowing Charles will I give my fullest help. To help the empire, even if Crimson Knights now gets more support from Charles, they will not do their best to help Charles. Only by uniting all the powerful forces in this country can the empire be maintained as strong as it is now."
"So it makes no sense for me to stay here. What's more, the problem now is no longer just the empire's. The entire world will also face a huge chaos. The entire world will also fall into a war that you can't even imagine. If you want to stop it and maintain the empire's current situation in this war that affects the entire world, then you can only follow my method."
"I don't care if you refuse, and even if you can solve what I have imposed on you, there is no use in betraying me. The worst plan is for me to leave the empire and return to Area 11 with all Crimson Knights. I believe that with Area 11's resources alone, my ability will be as good as With the true power of Crimson Knights, I can still develop a country more powerful than the empire in the following chaos. Although it will be a little more troublesome after losing the foundation of the empire, no one can stop what I want to do, and without restrictions, we will only become stronger at a faster speed."
"But without my help, without Crimson Knights, how long can the empire persist in the current situation? I think this question should not be difficult for you to answer."
