The establishment of European Federation was very sudden. After receiving the news, Xiao Ran went directly to the palace and entered Political Hall. When Xiao Ran entered Political Hall At that moment, he saw that many people were already one step ahead of him. Lelouch was sitting in his seat and looking at the huge screen in front of him like everyone else. What was playing on the screen was the news report about the establishment of European Federation.
Xiao Ran came in and nodded slightly to the people in the room. He just stood aside and focused his eyes on the screen. He did not disturb others or make any other movements, and quietly watched the content of the news.
Now the news is talking about the topic of the European Federation establishment system. In the future, there will not be any EU Alliance member states. Instead, the countries will be changed into states. The original laws will be modified appropriately according to the conditions of each state, and military affairs will be unified. The original leaders of each country will step down and dissolve the original government. However, for the time being, the administrative structure will be maintained and the administrative structure will be gradually replaced or changed, and the upper and lower houses will be established at the same time.
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, etc.
Xiao Ran looked at the content on the news and felt a familiar operation directly from the news. Whether these things appear to Xiao Ran, Lelouch, or others in the Political Hall, they are just a performance for the common people. In fact, the so-called Whether it was a congressman or a president, everything should have been decided before, but suddenly EU Alliance became Federation. The preparations and arrangements that needed to be made had already been made. The excitement and chaos that seemed now were all just a deliberately staged drama, but this drama still had some practical use.
Looking at the factual reports in the news, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. The changes in the EU were really a cool move, and they gained a lot of evaluation weight without losing any blood. From the perspective of the participants and the rules of Prometheus, the changes in the EU simply gave the participants there a considerable advantage, and Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on there.
Those participants who originally joined the EU were probably mainly Ron as Corgi said. The force they joined was actually not the EU, but a separate country in the EU. It was just because the EU itself belonged to the alliance and it was natural to fight as an EU under the EU collective. There was also reason to believe that the three legions of the participants must have been mixed into the EU Alliance different countries at the beginning, and they 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 EU as a whole.
And when the opportunity was right, all the arrangements and preparations were in place, and finally it was time for them to take action. In the name and position of joining the force, they directly annexed all other EU countries, destroyed the EU in name and in actual sense, destroyed all EU Alliance countries, directly annexed them, and used everything originally owned by these countries to establish a larger force in the name of joining the force, 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, nothing has changed in fact. European Federation is actually still the same EU, only in name. Yes, it has fundamentally changed. The only ones who can really benefit from it are the group of participants. They have strengthened their power, strengthened their army, and destroyed many forces. It seems that there is no difference at all, but judging from the rules of Prometheus, they have simply made a lot of money, and they have indeed strengthened the forces that joined.
"The participants over there can actually perform 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. Even if he can perform such an operation, there is still something Yes, Super Robot is not just a reckless man. No wonder the other two legions are willing to join forces with them. Even the former Roaring Lion Legion is willing to cooperate with them and pool their strength together to achieve a win-win situation. Everyone can benefit and there is no reason for confrontation."
"The EU100 that was originally composed of 1 of my own and 99 of other forces has completely turned into my own 100. The total is 100 but the ownership has changed. This kind of concept replacement is somewhat interesting, but it also complies with the task rules issued by Prometheus."
"Then what's next, are we going to fight hard to maintain our current share, or are we going to gather all our strength and start attacking Britannia, the biggest obstacle? Suddenly it changed from the EU Alliance to European Federation. The original plan is not that easy to use. This operation mode is really familiar to me."
"Could it be that you know the conditions for obtaining Faction Territory? If that's the case, there must be a backend behind this Ron. But even if you know the conditions, it's not that simple to obtain Faction Territory. There should be a lot of tricks here. 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 intend to take this world, but I don't intend to leave it to others either."
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and walked towards Lelouch while everyone in the Political Hall was still paying attention to the content of the news. At this time, Lelouch's face was also a little heavy. He was confused. The power of the EU would become more coordinated and united after this, and it would also be more threatening to Britannia. What he was confused about was how could so many countries in the EU Alliance be unified suddenly without any news being leaked?
"Get ready for war. Let Lloyd speed up. Starting today, the new aircraft will enter the mass production stage. We will begin to select outstanding pilots from all teams and take the lead in establishing a team. We will familiarize ourselves with the aircraft before Mass-produced Mecha comes out."
Lelouch nodded, frowning slightly and analyzing the reasons for Xiao Ran's arrangement, and everyone else in the Political Hall also heard Xiao Ran's response to Lelouch What said was more like an order, which 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 European Federation. The forces that do not join any of the poles will be directly eliminated. Black Knights wants to It's not that easy anymore. Continuing to maintain that kind of neutrality and only intervene in the war, regardless of the original approach, may cause big trouble for you, this country, Nanalie Euphemia, and the world, a kind of trouble you absolutely don't 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 Black Knights to join the war, do you want to join?"
Of course Xiao Ran knows what Lelouch is talking about. He is asking if he really wants Black Knights to disclose his identity and then merge it into Britannia. But Xiao Ran's answer to this is of course yes. There are some words that Lelouch doesn't think are too straightforward, but Xiao Ran also has many more words that he absolutely cannot say.
Xiao Ran feels that the participant named Ron is probably planning Faction Territory. Of course, it is only possible, but even if there is only one percent chance of achieving that step, Xiao Ran will never sit back and watch that percent. As long as it continues to develop, otherwise if the other party is really interested in Faction Territory, then Lelouch, Nanalie, Euphemia, Cornelia will not have an easy life in the future.
Therefore, Xiao Ran decided to abandon all arrangements made before, including the arrangements for Black Knights to act as an independent existence to check and balance the entire world, and directly disclose the identity of the leader of Black Knights. Although this will have a great impact, these impacts But it can be eliminated and dealt with completely. As long as Lelouch completely changes the direction of Britannia's national affairs as the emperor, it can be solved. Other unbreakable effects are really nothing compared to the consequences of the other party's successful acquisition of Faction Territory.
After a pause, Xiao Ran nodded, and said directly without caring about the other people present, "Well, that's right, but it's not merging, but you are asking you to reveal your identity as the leader of Black Knights, lead this country in this capacity, and declare that Black Knights has become the real master of Britannia, not just a pure Britannia Emperor, as soon as the war is over, you will abdicate immediately, let Nanalie and Euphemia become the leaders of this country, and continue to protect the peace of this earth as the leader of Black Knights, and as the former emperor of Britannia, 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 about the various expressions on the faces of many people present after hearing these words. He looked at the news on the screen in front and said, "While the most important drama hasn't started over there yet, I think it's better for me to go over and interrupt them."
With that said, Xiao Ran looked back 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 Political Hall directly. At the same time, he took out his communicator and contacted several people, including Saki, Corgi, and Selucius.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ran entered the Crimson Knights station again and saw Pendragon falling from the sky, Corgi and his group of men who looked excited, and Selucius who looked complicated and hesitant.
Xiao Ran did not continue to waste time. After walking in front of a bunch of people, he said directly to Selucius: "This time is not short. How are you discussing with your team members? Can you give me an accurate answer now? 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 take action, the consequences may be serious. But relatively speaking, I am even less willing to see such consequences, but it will not have such a big impact on you. No matter what your answer is, it doesn't matter. All the guarantees I gave you before will not change in any way because of this."
Selucius 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. For Selucius, he didn't know why everything suddenly seemed to become tense, and that idiot Corgi didn't even understand what the situation was now.
Taking a deep breath, Selucius 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 Legion can only be regarded as second-rate at best. Maybe even seriously speaking, it is not even second-rate." Being able to join a first-class or even top-level legion, and all members can get better support and development, get so many benefits, have a territory that truly belongs to them, get the protection of the strong, 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 all members are merged into the Burning Legion. Hello, Xiao Ran Legion Leader. Since you have become a member of the Burning Legion, the other legions in this mission are our enemies. I have no reason not to take action."
Xiao Ran directly sent a contract to Selucius. After Selucius signed it without hesitation, he received a reply from Xiao Ran, who also solemnly promised, "Every member I have said will never go back on my word. Every member will receive fair authority and all support and benefits at the corresponding level and authority. You are welcome to join. 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 the rest of the legion. If they are all given to the legion, I will exchange them with corresponding points. I also hope that you can distribute these points to each member in a relatively fair way."
"Now." Xiao Ran glanced at everyone standing behind Selucius and Corgi, and said loudly, "As Burning Legion Leader, I give you my first order. Gather all the forces that can be assembled, use all the resources that can be used, and the decisive battle has begun."
