Chapter 149: Lelouch's Mesures.
Lelouch proceeded to explain all the information gathered.
Cornelia's eyes sparkled:
"So they are sending the princess to the Lan Empire."
"It is as you expected, Lelouch. The Lan Empire's situation is pivotal."
Lelouch had a piercing glare in his eyes:
"Indeed. The Lan Empire is the Strongest of the Three Great Oriental Empires."
"And is also the bridge between the Oriental and the Center of the Continent."
"He who controls the Lan Empire gets an extremely powerful foothold on the Orient."
"Those bastards already know that's the first country we will be eying."
Cornelia commented:
"The Country was always quite submissive to the demands of the Saharos Empire."
Schneizel sighed:
"It's quite normal. The Orient non-aggression treaty between the three ancient forces, was fomented by the Saharos Empire, after all."
"The Birth of the Three Great Empires is only the result of the treaty."
Cornelia continued:
"The Three Ancient Forces proceeded to fund secretly each a dynasty. To fight a war by proxy over the lands in the Orient."
"What the two of the forces didn't expectIs the exponential growth of the Three Dynasties, eventually creating Three Empires with enough self-sufficiency, to not depend on the Federations and the Union."
"Protected by the treaty, they blatantly cut ties with the hands that fed themAnd only listened to the Saharos Empire."
"Who has the actual power to annul the Treaty."
"The Lan Empire who was supported by the Saharos Empire, had the most strategic location and greatest resources."
"The Arrival of the First Princess in Balaniahas nothing to do with any world experience bullshit."
"It's goal is for her to consolidate the Saharos's Empire's influence in the region."
"Most Importantly in the Lan Empire and the two other Great Empires."
Lelouch smirked:
"In other words, her role will be to get in the way of our hegemony, over the Orient."
Lelouch had a sharp glint in his eyes:
"It's seems they also made the same prediction we did."
Schneizel nodded:
"Eventually when war will be declared, the continent will be already broken in two halves."
"All the countries we will swiftly bring under our banner in the orient, on one side."
Lelouch continued:
"And the rest of the world on the other."
"In Such a configuration. Military, logistically, economicallyThe Lan Empire is an extremely strategic territory."
As he spoke Lelouch a had a long grin over his face. His Siblings knowing of his character only titled their head in exasperation.
"InterestingInterestingGood move. Indeed"
The excitement of confrontation filled his mind.
"Let them arrive and camp in Balania."
"Their next move, will probably to increase the relations, exchanges and cooperation between the Three Empires."
"To Use the Two others as a shield to protect the position of the Lan Empire."
The Silence of the other Vizirs meant the acknowledgement of such hypothesis. He smiled maliciously:
"Like I will let you act like you want!!"
"Get Ezio on the Private Line."
The assistants immediately added a new channel. Ezio face appeared:
"What are your orders, your Highness?"
"Get me an exhaustive list of all the rebellious movements in the Rwa, Lan and Fu Empires."
"Identify the most promising, the most influential, and the strongest of these groups."
"Tell to our agents in those regions to infiltrate them swiftly."
"If possible, even take high positions within."
"You can even try to recruit some of them into the Brotherhood."
"If they need military support, or financial support. Let me know."
Ezio had a sharp glint in his eyes as he immediately understood the Grand Vizir's intentions! An approving smile appeared on his face:
"Yes! Your Highness! Your orders will be executed as quickly as possible."
The Vizirs had weird faces as they looked at this little brother of theirs. Schneizel sighed:
"As expected, it's difficult for people change."
"Even after you became the Head of the State. Rebellion and Anarchy are still in your blood, little brother."
"What's that supposed to mean!? Schneizel!!"
Euphemia laughed, quite amused.
"Lelouch will always be Lelouch after all."
Cornelia also laughed, as well:
"Well, at least in those matters. We are confident in your expertise. Zero~"
Kallen by his side burst out laughing!
"Kallen!! Control yourself! This is a state meeting!"
Yet she kept laughing:
"SorryThat was too funny!!"
Lelouch sighed, and calmed down his offended emotions.
"Let's not get off topic please. We still have other news to deal with."
The Solemn aura of the meeting was back.
"The Mobilization of the Monica Le'Overallines's army is extremely suspicious."
".And in such close borders with the Klatos Union. Just what is the meaning of such a move"
Lelouch narrowed his eyes in thought:
"We can atleast estimate some things from their last actions."
"The Monica army is known for it's immense speed and excellent endurance."
"And It's the Flying Cavalery Squad that have been moved."
Euphemia nodded:
"The Fastest Squad of all."
Lelouch took a deep breath:
"Even if they are using Military exercises as a cover. They still can't hide the sense of Urgency."
"They want to be there as soon as possible."
"They are moving in extreme urgency. To these borders. As if they are afraid of something occurring there."
Cornelia spoke:
"The exit of Santos Riveira is surprising as well. His Presence there only means that the conflict could even implicate the Grand Priestess."
Lelouch sighed:
"ButWhy now? After all these years of coexistence. Why make such a threatening maneuver when there is already another enemy to be wary off?"
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"The Klatos Union, the Grand Priestess, the Saharos EmpireAll of this smells fishy."
"There must be something to it."
"We need further investigation!"
"Ezio!"
Ezio had his always elegant smile:
"Bayek and Aya are already set for a trip to the Klatos Union. Your Highness."
Lelouch had an approving smile:
"Good Foresight. Tell them to lay low, and try to get as much information on both sides."
"Wellthat should be enough"
Euphemia spoke again:
"What about the Rebellious States..?"
Lelouch sighed:
"Let's keep an eye on them. If there is a way to help them, assist their cause a little."
"We lack manpower after all."
"The Saharos Empire's reaction is better than expected."
"If we were a normal Empire, completely dependent on this world, we would be in quite a pickle."
He then addressed all the present on the visual Viso conference
"Keep focused. The next years are vital for the prosperity of the Empire."
"You all need to form good, loyal and competent Vice Governors for your Regions."
Lelouch narrowed his eyes:
"The Imperial Capital will need your presence."
Scheinzel had also an interested smile:
"Saharos EmpireNot badNot bad at all"
Cornelia responded:
"Of course!"
She had a demonic smirk on:
"I can't let his Majesty go so long without seeing me after all!"
All the other sibilings acted like they didn't hear her. Only Kallen had an inquiring gaze.
Lelouch leaned back on his seat:
"No Matter how fast."
"With this much people, they will need atleast 2 Months to make it to the Klatos Union."
"By then his Majesty would have awakened."
"After allLarge scale Teleportation Magic is forbidden in times of peace."
Schneizel nodded:
"AlsoI don't think the Klatos Union didn't take counter measure against such obvious moves."
"The Klatos Magicians might not match the Saharian Ones."
"But even the Greatest Magician of the Klatos Union doesn't Hold a candle to the Grand Priestess."
Euphemia sighed:
"We are somewhat similar to the Klatos Union in this regard."
Lelouch narrowed his eyes:
"NoIt's exactly because we are in the same settings, that following their example is dangerous."
"The Union is relying too much on the Grand Priestess, that they even lost the capacity to evolve by themselves."
"This is the exact the reason why his Majesty is even waging this war, with minimal intervention on his part."
Lelouch had deep determination in his eyes:
"This country needs to grow enough to be the wings behind his back. Not something he must protect."
"And it is our job to ensure that happens."
The Vizirs and Ezio all acknowledged these words dearly. Those were words that needed to be spoken.
But they couldn't come out of the Emperor's mouth, but someone like Lelouch, who is the Grand Vizir had to say them.
They all saw the Emepror's immense might with their own eyes.
If the Emperor wanted he will easily subjugate Galactic level Civilizations, and accelerate the process of the construction. But his devotion to his people, his willingness to grow patiently as a ruler, and wisdom made him stay here.
In other words,
For nowThey were a weight.
This needed to be acknowledged. For them to go forward.
With that the conference ended.
