The establishment of the European Federation was very sudden. After receiving the news, Xiao Ran went straight to the Palace and entered the Hall of Politics. When Xiao Ran entered the Hall of Politics, he saw that many people had already arrived before him. Luluxiu was sitting in his seat, looking at the huge screen in front of him like everyone else. The screen was playing the news report about the establishment of the European Federation.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly to the people in the room, then stood aside and looked at the screen. He didn't disturb the others, nor did he do anything else. He just quietly watched the news.
Now, the news was talking about the establishment of the European Federation. In the future, there would no longer be any EU member states. Instead, each country would be renamed as a state. According to the state's situation, the original laws would be appropriately amended. Military affairs would be unified, and the original leaders of each country would step down and disband the original government. However, the administrative structure would be maintained for the time being, and the administrative methods would be gradually replaced or changed. At the same time, the upper and lower houses would be established.
Next, the upper house would be established first, and the election of members would begin immediately. Then, within three days, the president would be elected, and so on.
Xiao Ran, Luluxiu, and the rest of the people in the Hall of Politics, felt a sense of familiarity from the news. Whether it was Xiao Ran, Luluxiu, or the rest of the people in the Hall of Politics, it was just a show for the common people. In fact, whether it was the so-called parliament members or the president, they should have all been decided beforehand. Now that the EU Alliance had suddenly become the Federation, the necessary preparations and arrangements had been made long ago. Regardless of whether it was lively or chaotic, it was all just a show. It was just that this show still had some practical uses.
Looking at the news report, Xiao Ran slightly raised his eyebrows. The change of the EU was really a showy operation, gaining a lot of weight without shedding a single drop of blood. From the perspective of the participants and Prometheus' rules, the change of the EU had given the participants a considerable advantage. Xiao Ran immediately understood the situation over there.
The original participants who joined the EU were probably led by Ron, who was mentioned by Corgi. They didn't actually join the EU, but a certain country in the EU. Because the EU itself was an alliance, it was natural for them to fight as an EU member. There was reason to believe that the three corps of the participants must have infiltrated the different countries of the EU Alliance and had been infiltrating the EU's overall authority.
The EU could represent them, but they couldn't represent the EU. Because in essence, they had only joined one country, not the entire EU.
When the time was right, and all the preparations were in place, it was finally time for them to take action. In the name of joining forces, they directly annexed all the other EU countries, destroying the EU in name and in a real sense. They destroyed all the EU countries in the EU alliance and directly annexed them. Then, they used everything that originally belonged to these countries in the name of joining forces to establish an even bigger force, a force that was directly controlled by that group of participants.
In this way, it was equivalent to a small country becoming a super-large force in an instant. Its territory, population, and strength were expanded countless times. Of course, nothing had changed. The EU Federation was still the EU, but in name and in essence, it had changed. The only ones who truly benefited were the participants. They had strengthened their forces, strengthened their army, and destroyed many other forces. It seemed like there was no difference at all, but judging from Prometheus's rules, they had gained a lot. They had indeed strengthened the forces they joined.
"The participants over there actually came up with such an operation. If the person called Ron was the one who planned and arranged everything behind the scenes, then this Ron really can't be underestimated. He can even come up with such an operation. He's not just a simple super brute. No wonder the other two armies were willing to ally with them. Even the Roaring Lion Legion was willing to cooperate with them. They gathered their forces and won't win. Everyone can benefit from it, so there's really no reason to resist."
"The EU 100, which was originally a combination of their own 1 and the other 99, had completely become their own 100. The total sum was 100, but the ownership had changed. This kind of concept change is a little interesting, but it also fits the mission rules set by Prometheus."
"Then what's next? Are we going to stubbornly resist and maintain the current share, or are we going to gather all our forces and start attacking the biggest obstacle, Britaria? Suddenly, the EU Federation changed from the EU Alliance to the EU Federation. The original plan isn't that useful anymore. I'm very familiar with this kind of operation pattern."
"Could it be that he knows the conditions to obtain a faction territory? If that's really the case, this Ron probably has a backer behind him. However, even if he knows the conditions, it won't be that easy to obtain a faction territory. There should be a lot of tricks here. Hehe, this is indeed interesting. If he really knows and is prepared to do so, I can't just turn a blind eye to it. I don't intend to take this world, but I also don't intend to leave it to others. "
Xiao Ran smiled gently. While everyone in the Political Hall was still paying attention to the content of the news, he walked towards Luluxiu. At this moment, Luluxiu's face was also a little heavy. He couldn't understand. After this, the EU Alliance's strength would become more coordinated and united. It would also pose a greater threat to Britaria. What he couldn't understand was why the EU Alliance's many countries suddenly unified without any news leaking out.
"Get ready for war. Let Loide speed up. From today onwards, the new model will enter the mass production stage. Start selecting outstanding pilots from all the teams to take the lead in building a team. Before the mass production machines are released, let's first familiarize ourselves with the machines."
Luluxiu nodded. He frowned slightly as he analyzed the reason for Xiao Ran's arrangement. The others in the Political Hall also heard what Xiao Ran said to Luluxiu. It sounded more like an order. This made some people a little surprised. However, Schneizaire, who was also present, wasn't surprised at all. This was because he had already seen the main and secondary cooperation between Xiao Ran and Luluxiu.
Luluxiu didn't mind the surprise in some people's eyes. Instead, he sighed slightly. "Is there going to be a war again?"
Xiao Ran nodded gently. His tone became solemn. "The situation has changed. All the previous arrangements have been nullified. Now, the world has been completely divided into two poles because of the appearance of the EU Federation. Forces that don't join either pole will be directly eliminated. It won't be that easy for the Black Knights to stay out of this. If they continue to maintain their neutrality and only participate in the war without caring about the fundamentals, it might cause you, this country, Nunnally and Euphemia, and the world. It's a kind of trouble that you definitely don't want to see."
Luluxiu raised his head. The expression on his face became a little surprised. His eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement. However, for some reason, Luluxiu had to ask very tactfully. "You want the Black Knights to join the war? Join?"
Xiao Ran naturally knew what Luluxiu was talking about. He was asking if the Black Knights really wanted to reveal their identity and then merge into Britaria. However, Xiao Ran's answer to this was, of course, affirmative. There were some things that Luluxiu didn't want to be too direct about, but Xiao Ran also had more things that he absolutely couldn't say.
Xiao Ran felt that the participant named Ron was very likely to be plotting to take over the faction territory. Of course, it was only a possibility. However, even if there was only a 1% chance of that happening, Xiao Ran would definitely not sit back and watch that 1% continue to develop. Otherwise, if the other party really had designs on the faction territory, then Luluxiu, Nunnally, Euphemia, and Cornelia wouldn't have an easy time in the future.
Therefore, Xiao Ran decided to abandon all the previous arrangements, including the arrangement of letting the Black Knights act as an independent existence to balance the entire world. He decided to directly announce the identity of the leader of the Black Knights. Although this would bring about a huge impact, these impacts could be eliminated and dealt with. As long as Luluxiu completely changed the direction of Britaria's national politics with his identity as the emperor, the other impacts that couldn't be removed were really nothing compared to the consequences of Luluxiu successfully obtaining the faction territory.
After a pause, Xiao Ran nodded. He didn't care about the others present and said directly, "Yes, that's right, but it's not about merging. Instead, I want you to announce your identity as the leader of the Black Knights and lead this country with this identity. Announce that the Black Knights have become the true rulers of Britaria and not just the emperor of Britaria. Once the war ends, you'll immediately abdicate and let Nunnally and Euphemia become the leaders of this country. You'll continue to protect the peace of this earth as the leader of the Black Knights and as the former emperor of Britaria. However, that's the next step. From now on, the entire 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 the people present after hearing these words. He looked at the news on the screen in front of him and said, "I think it's better for me to go over and interrupt them before the most important big show starts."
With that said, Xiao Ran turned to look at Luluxiu. "If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in regret and hatred, then you have no other choice."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Luluxiu and left the political hall. At the same time, he took out his communicator and contacted several people, including Chim, Corgi, and Selius.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ran entered the Scarlet Knights' encampment again and saw Pendragon descending from the sky. He also saw the excited Corgi and his group of subordinates, as well as Selius, who had a complicated and hesitant expression on his face.
Xiao Ran didn't continue to waste time. After walking to the front of a group of people, he directly said to Selius, "It's been a long time. How's the discussion with your members? Can you give me an accurate answer now? But before you answer my question, I want to ask you another question first."
"You said before that you don't want to go against the EU army, but the situation has changed. If we don't take action, the consequences may be very serious. It's just that relatively speaking, I don't want to see such consequences. It won't affect you that much. It doesn't matter what your answer is. All the guarantees I gave you before won't change because of this."
Selius looked at Xiao Ran. Although he could only see half of Xiao Ran's face that was not covered by the mask, he could still feel the seriousness and solemnity in Xiao Ran's words. Selius didn't know why everything seemed to have become tense all of a sudden, and Corgi, that idiot, didn't understand the current situation either.
After taking a deep breath, Selius suddenly calmed down a lot. He glanced at Corgi, who was still acting like an idiot, and sighed helplessly. Then, he calmly said, "The current Roaring Lion Legion can only be considered as a second-rate legion at best. Or perhaps, it's not even considered as a second-rate legion. To be able to join a first-rate legion, or even a top-notch one, and all the members will receive better support and development, obtain so many benefits, own a territory that truly belongs to you, receive the protection of the strong, and have a powerful body. This is the prerequisite for everyone to live and become stronger. There's not much to consider."
"I'll join. On behalf of the Roaring Lion Legion, I'll accept the invitation of the Burning Legion. Everyone will join the Burning Legion. Hello, Commander Xiao Ran. Since you've become a member of the Burning Legion, the other legions involved in this mission are our enemies. I have no reason not to take action."
Xiao Ran directly sent a contract to Selius. After Selius signed it without hesitation, Xiao Ran solemnly guaranteed, "I will never go back on my words. Every member will receive fair authority and all the support and benefits under the corresponding level and authority. Welcome to the Burning Legion. We will not disappoint any of you."
"As for all the resources that originally belonged to you after you join the legion, other than technology and important resources that will be added to the legion, there will be no restrictions on the rest of the resources. If you hand them all over to the legion, I will exchange them with corresponding points. I also hope that these points will be distributed to every member in a relatively fair manner."
"Now." Xiao Ran glanced at everyone standing behind Selius and Corgi, and said in a clear voice, "As the commander of the Burning Legion, I give you my first order. Gather all the forces that you can and use all the resources that you can. The final battle has begun."
