() "Yes, sir." The palace maid responded respectfully, then turned and walked towards the soldiers to convey Ito Cheng's order.

"I look more and more like those powerful officials in ancient times who held the emperor hostage to order the princes." Looking at the palace maid's retreating figure, Ito Cheng said to himself with a self-deprecating look.

Then he put aside these careless thoughts, opened the door and stepped into the palace.

At the same time, in District 11.

"Is this the power you want to show me? Ito Cheng. I have to say that it is indeed very powerful, but it is not enough to overthrow Britannia and EU and unify the entire world." The top boss of the Governor's Mansion In the conference room, Cornelia, who had watched the broadcast of the press conference together with the military and political dignitaries, said to herself thoughtfully.

"Your Highness?" Seeing that Cornelia was a little distracted, Guilford, who was her knight, greeted in a low voice.

"Huh? Sorry, I was distracted just now. Where were you talking about before?" Cornelia, who came back to her senses, looked at the military and political dignitaries in front of her and asked.

"Your Highness, should we make adjustments to our defenses in case the Chinese Federation may launch an attack at any time, and appropriately reduce the forces in the Shikoku and Kyushu regions to guard the overall security of the Tokyo Concession." A middle-aged officer with a big beard said. .

"No, the troops in Shikoku and Kyushu remain unchanged. In addition, part of the garrison in Hokkaido will be transferred to Shikoku and Kyushu to suppress the resistance organizations that remain there to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation." Cornelia almost said nothing after hearing this. He ordered without the slightest pause.

"Also, reduce the troops south of the main island, leave enough defensive force, and then press them all to the northwest, north, and northeast of the main road to deal with the attack group of the Chinese Federation." Cornelia then ordered.

"The air transport formation has entered a wartime standby state and must transport the main army to strategic locations as soon as the war begins." \u003cy. "Although there had been discussions before, after Cornelia gave the order. Regardless of the previous discussions, all the military and political officials present put away their unnecessary thoughts and accepted the order in unison.

"Is there any news from the country?" continued. Cornelia turned to look at Guilford and asked.

"Not yet," Guilford replied.

"Really?" Cornelia nodded and whispered to herself after hearing this. Then he looked up again at the military and political dignitaries sitting on both sides of the long table and said, "The meeting is dismissed." \u003chness. "The military and political dignitaries all stood up from their seats, put their right arms across their bodies and caressed their chests.

"Let me see. How are you going to defeat us with the already decayed Chinese Federation, and withstand the subsequent attack from Britannia, and fulfill your promise." Ke led Guilford out of the conference room. Nelia thought to herself.

…

Time continues to move forward. Returning to the palace of the Brittanian Empire just after the press conference.

"Your Majesty, the latest news is that at the request of the original Japanese royal survivors, the Chinese Federation will launch an operation to liberate and recover Japan in three days. This is all the information about this incident." A Britannia soldier Half-kneeling on the marble-paved ground, he bowed his head and said respectfully to the Brittanian Emperor Charulu-g-Brittannia, who was sitting on a high-backed chair on several steps.

Zha Lulu, who was sitting in a high position, stretched forward with one hand. The internal officer who was waiting on the side immediately walked up to the soldier, took the information in his hand and returned to the higher level. He bowed and handed it to Charulu-g-Britannia.

Zha Lulu, who had received the intelligence, glanced at it casually. After roughly browsing through all the contents at the press conference and the relevant information investigated by the intelligence personnel, he looked at the soldier half-kneeling on the ground with a calm expression and said "Forward this information to Schneizel." \u003cy. "The soldier who regained the information from the internal officer bowed his head and saluted. Then he stood up and exited the palace in Zalulu with his head still hanging down. He turned to where the second prince Schneizel, who was the prime minister of the empire, was. Rushed to the office residence.

Ten minutes later, the soldier finally arrived at Schneizel's office and met Imperial Prime Minister Schneizel.

"Your Highness, your Majesty asked me to pass this on to you." The soldier first gave Schneizel a military salute, then stepped forward and handed Schneizel the information in his hand.

Schneizel didn't say anything, just reached for the file and looked down at it.

"What do you mean, His Majesty the Emperor?" After a moment, Schneizel, who had read the document carefully, asked.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, he just asked me to hand this document to you." The soldier shook his head slightly.

"Dart, has there been any contact from Cornelia?" When Schneizel heard this, a thoughtful expression immediately appeared on his face, and then he turned to look at the secretary next to him and asked.

"Not yet." The secretary named Dalte lowered his head to check the incident department in his hand, then looked up again at Schneizel and shook his head.

"Do you want to resist the Chinese Federation's attack with only the existing troops in Area 11?" Schneizel muttered to himself after getting the answer. Immediately, his expression calmed down, and he ordered Secretary Dalt, "Dart, please notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs later and ask them to notify the Ambassador of the Chinese Federation to raise our protest and start a dialogue on this matter. At the same time, contact the big officials in Zhu Forbidden City through special channels. Eunuch, ask them what this means, or the cause of this.”

"In addition, let the intelligence personnel contact Southeast Asian countries under the control of the Chinese Federation such as Myanmar, India, the Philippines, and Vietnam as soon as possible, or the leaders of the resistance forces in these countries, and say that we are willing to fund their du li activities. And provide them with political asylum after their defeat, so that they must organize people to create unrest within the territory of the Chinese Federation within three days."\u003chness. "Dart responded solemnly.

Then, Schneizel leaned his whole back on the backrest, lightly bridging the armrests of the chair with his index finger, and appeared in deep thought with his eyes slightly closed.

…

The scene once again returns to the emperor's palace in the Forbidden City of Luoyang.

"Karen, Xiang Rin, you will take He and Xiang Rin to the military camp later to assist Li Xingke in conducting military operations." Ito Cheng, who was sitting next to the emperor, looked at Kallen and Zhou Xiang Rin and ordered.

"Yes." Zhou Xianglin responded respectfully while Kallen nodded in agreement.

"Remember to wear these two pieces of clothing under your coat. I don't want you to get into trouble due to assassination or unnecessary accidents." Following Ito Cheng, he took out two sets of black ball tights and handed them to Karen and Zhou Xianglin respectively. road.

"As for the specific method of using this suit, Xiang Rin, you can ask Karen later. She will tell you what functions this suit has and how to use it." Ito saw the two of them put the black ball tights into their hands. Cheng continued.

"Okay." Zhou Xianglin agreed.

"You go." Ito Cheng said.

Karen and Zhou Xianglin nodded to Ito Cheng, took the black ball tights and turned around to leave the emperor's palace...

"The number of new machines is still a bit small." Ito Cheng sighed softly as he watched Kallen and Zhou Xianglin leave.

"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, since we were eliminated, the industries of our Kyoto Six Families have been monitored by that woman Cornelia. There is no way we can produce on a large scale like before. Otherwise, our Kyoto Six Families' With such manufacturing capabilities, how can we only come up with this new machine body?" Kagura Ye said with a depressed look on his face.

"But as long as this war is over and the Japanese army is under our control, our six families in Kyoto will no longer have to be as sneaky as before. By then, we will be fully productive. I believe that we will soon be able to serve your troops, dear." Let's update them and let their combat power soar." Then Kagura Ye was shocked, looked at Ito Cheng and smiled.

"Compared with manufacturing capabilities, even if Japan is recovered, it cannot compare with Britannia. Since you can update it, why can't others? After all, Britannia also has the machine developed by Count Doudin. "Before Ito Cheng could say anything, Lakshatta, who was lying there with his head tilted on one hand, said with a nonchalant look on his face.

"I hate it, Lakshata, aren't you trying to comfort my dear?" Kagura frowned and looked at Lakshata and complained.

"Well, the number of new aircraft is small. Anyway, we are not fighting a war with large-scale troops. It is enough to have a batch of new aircraft to form a sharp knife squad and defeat the elite troops of Britannia. As for ordinary There are other ways to make up for the battle," Ito Cheng said.

"Speaking of elite personnel, Kagura, do you have any news about Todo and the Four Holy Swords?" Then, Ito Cheng turned to look at Kagura and asked.

"Since you formed the resistance organization, Kirihara Taizo has sent people to search for him. However, except for the three people who found the Four Holy Swords, Toudou and another female Four Holy Swords have never been found, and they are not known. Where are you hiding?" Kagura Ye said with a slightly unhappy expression.

"Didn't you ask those three people about the whereabouts of Todo?" Ito Cheng asked with a surprised look on his face.

"I asked, but they didn't tell me, and it's not easy for us to use punishment, so we never got the whereabouts of Toudou from them." Kagura shook his head.

"Then let's find time to go back to Japan and get the information about Todo. It would be such a waste to have such an elite person unused." Ito Cheng said.

"Okay." Kagura said with a smile on her face.

"Just in time, Lihua, you haven't left Luoyang to see other places. Next time you go back to Japan, you will come with us." Ito Cheng, who thought of something, turned to look at Jiang Lihua beside him and smiled. (To be continued.)
