Chapter 15: Cooperation.
As soon as they left the tent Zero, Kallen and CC ran into Todoh, Ohgi and Dietard.
"What are you going to do with her, Zero?" The man of miracles asked him.
"It will be our prisoner. You won't twist a hair if I don't tell you." The masked replied.
"Why don't you just kill her?"
"This is not the priority at the moment."
"And what would be the priority?"
"We must make this island a fortress against alien invaders. First of all we need anti-aircraft batteries."
"To shoot down enemy aircraft, right?"
"Exact."
"But where do we get them?" Ohgi asked.
"Simple ... If my calculations are correct in the south, in the prefecture of Tottori, there is a British military base. We will take the necessary means there. "
"We assault the base?"
"Leave it to me ... I already have a plan in mind."
That said, he resumed his journey, closely followed by CC while Kallen remained with the others.
"You intend to use the geass to condition the base personnel, don't you?" The green-haired girl asked him.
"Exact. I will be able to get hold of the necessary material without firing a shot. Also I could use Cornelia. "
"How?"
"I could convince her to cooperate with us."
"To cooperate?"
"Right now the Earth is threatened by a lethal enemy, which threatens the existence of mankind. The only hope of survival is to work together."
"True ... Do you intend to ally with Britannia?"
At that question Lelouch stopped, turning to her.
"Allying is a big word ... For now I will try to get the collaboration of the local British forces."
"Assuming they are able to cope with aliens."
"The British imperial army is one of the strongest in the world, forged by the fire of a thousand battles. He will keep them at bay. "
At least I hope…
Weiswolf, 4.30 pm
Leila was in her room, intent on writing her diary.
Today an event deemed impossible has occurred: for the first time an extraterrestrial civilization has come to Earth ... Unfortunately its intentions are hostile. It has indeed launched a large-scale invasion of our planet, and fierce fighting rages everywhere between invaders and ground forces. The British Isles and Poland have fallen, as have Jutland and the Mediterranean islands. Panic scenes are reported in various parts of Europe ...
She sighed, looking up at the ceiling.
We traded one enemy for another ... Even more lethal, if possible.
At that moment someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
"Sorry for the trouble, Leila."
"Anna ... What is it?"
"General Smilas wants to talk to you."
"Agree…"
She stood up.
The blonde girl went to the command room, where the staff was at work as usual. She positioned herself in front of the main monitor, where after a few moments the figure of General Smilas appeared.
"Leila ... Are you all right?"
"Yes, general. No trace of aliens, at least for now."
"The air offensive over Paris was fortunately rejected. However, the invaders control some of our regions, and they will not give up until they have conquered us."
"I understand."
"The only positive side is that now the inept and corrupt politicians who govern Europia will have to deploy the regular army against aliens."
He snorted, disconsolate.
"If they had done it also against Britannia we would not have lost vast territories, arriving at the current situation."
"I know…"
"Tomorrow I will ask the council of forty to give me the supreme command of the European Armed Forces."
"Do you think they will accept?"
"They will. In the past I have repeatedly demonstrated my tactical and strategic skills. I'm the best candidate."
"I don't doubt it."
"Now I have to go ... See you later."
"See you later."
Communication ended.
"Are there any other news?" Asked the girl.
"None, commander." Claus replied.
"Then I'll go back to my quarters."
"Go ahead."
