Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

……

The Japanese Liberation Front is currently the largest resistance force against Britannia in Area 11. They are composed of former Japanese government soldiers, all wearing uniforms similar to those of the Imperial Japanese Army, and are located in central Japan.

Its leader was Major General Katase, and under his command were figures like Todo Kyoshiro, who was considered a miracle. Todo's only achievement was defending a small island of 30 square kilometers without being defeated, which was the only notable achievement of Japan in the war against Britannia.

In the original story, Major Katase was used as a pawn in Lelouch's power struggle with Cornelia and died as part of Lelouch's plan. Later, Toudou led his four sword saints and remaining forces to join the Black Knights, thus transforming the Black Knights from an organization into an army.

However, at present, the Black Knights are destined to be impossible to appear. Now, Major General Katase, leading almost all of his forces and utilizing over a hundred Knightmare aircraft transported from the Chinese Empire, has launched a full-scale attack on the Ashford cadets.

This attack stemmed from a deal—a deal between Katase, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and Xiu Zenair. The deal was simple: both sides would provide support to Katase, and Katase's task was to take down Momo.

As for the specific reasons, Katase didn't know. After all, neither side had ever given Katase a second glance, nor would they tell him the details or the truth. Katase himself didn't mind, because he knew that both sides treated him like a biting dog.

As long as Knightmare is there, as long as they have the strength, then Britannia is nothing to fear!

Although Katase is currently caught in the machinations of both sides, he believes that as long as he does his job of profiting from the situation, he can grow stronger in the competition between the two sides.

When the invincible Knightmare army is finally formed, the liberation of Japan will not be a dream!

But reality seemed to slap him hard in the face.

At first, he was very happy because his troops were indeed very strong. The Steel Skull Mod from the Chinese Empire was even stronger than the fourth-generation Knightmare from Britannia.

This became clear when Clovis's personal guard was completely unable to resist the results of their troops, especially after the Four Holy Swords led by Toudou defeated Clovis's personal guard Knightmare troops head-on.

However, Katase's joy was short-lived, as a white Knightmare joined the battle. Its advanced design and combat capabilities were clearly beyond what their Steel Skull Kai could handle.

However, at the most crucial moment, it was Toudou who stepped forward and led the Four Holy Swords to confront the white Knightmare, turning the tide of the battle when the white Knightmare was about to crush them with a single blow.

Katase breathed a sigh of relief, but just now, a purple-painted Knightmare joined the battle, and unfortunately, it was their enemy.

"Are you kidding me? Toudou has been defeated! How is this possible? That's the Miracle Toudou!"

Katase's face turned deathly pale. He didn't want to believe this reality, but reality was cruel.

Having suppressed Toudou and the Four Sword Saints of White Knightmare with their experience and combat skills, Yuuki broke through their formation with almost no effort when facing the true Sword Saint-level Absolute Sword Yuuki.

The result, of course, needs no further explanation.

"General, the situation is already...deteriorating. Perhaps we should consider retreating!"

A staff officer beside Katase offered a trembling suggestion, but Katase slammed his fist on the table and said, "No, absolutely not this time! Give me a telegram to the entire army, order everyone to commit, even if it means taking a loss, you must secure this victory for me!"

"This is... a war for the fate of the nation, a war for Japan's revival! Oh, right, what about that Crimson Moon squad? Let's get them on the field quickly!"

Katase's order was carried out immediately, but the result left him dumbfounded once again.

The newly born Red Moon, on which he had placed great hopes, had been completely defeated by the Red Lotus of the Chinese Empire, and even captured by all of them!

"Damn it, they're all unreliable, none of them are trustworthy!"

Katase roared, "Get our reserves and the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps ready! Tell them that if they are outmatched, they should detonate along with the liquid Sakura Stone carried by the Knightmare. This is a battle that will determine the fate of our nation, and their deaths will be remembered by future generations of Japanese!"

At this moment, Katase decided to unleash his trump card, Operation Kamikaze, which he had planned long ago. He would have a batch of Knightmare filled with a large amount of liquid Sakura Stone. If they couldn't win, they would blow up the enemies around them!

Sakura stones are a gift from heaven to Japan, and now, these stones will be used to kill enemies and become a powerful tool to save Japan.

"Gentlemen, the fate of our nation rests with ours!"

Katase's roar seemed to ignite the fighting spirit within everyone, and with red eyes, they prepared to fight a final battle for the fate of their nation!

Just as everyone was about to give the order, a strange metallic tearing sound came from above the command vehicle. Everyone subconsciously looked up and found that the roof of the command vehicle had been torn open with a hole of more than ten centimeters, and a strange metal ball fell out of the hole.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the metal sphere extended four mechanical legs resembling spider legs, and its entire body flipped over, transforming into a robot that looked like a mechanical spider.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, an electronic synthesized voice came from inside the machine, saying, "Target detected, target confirmed."

Long live the East Wind!

A dazzling red light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the command vehicle, along with Katase and the others, turned into shadows in the sea of ​​fire.

Author's Note:

This is the third update, it's past midnight, sorry.

238 The Situation of Rampage

Japan... no, still Area 11. After all, Katase's crazy ideal of restoring his country turned to ashes with the warmth of the east wind, and the chaos in Area 11 was quickly suppressed.

Clovis, who still didn't understand what was going on, really treated Momo as an honored guest and had no doubts about Xiuzner's orders. Meanwhile, Momo's men began to land in Area 11 and started their operations under the guise of suppressing bandits.

After all, Clovis's team suffered heavy losses because of this attack. If it weren't for the arrival of Yuki and Karen, Clovis would probably have suffered the same fate again.

Japan's largest resistance organization, the Japanese Liberation Front, was destroyed, and the entire team of the newly born Red Moon was killed in action—actually, they ended up under Mo Mo's command, since Mo Mo's brother-in-law, Red Moon Naoto, was still there, and they couldn't just let him die like that.

As a result, the resistance in Japan seemed to be on the verge of complete destruction, and Clovis seized the opportunity to launch a brutal investigation across Japan with Momo's forces.

Momo did not refuse.

Momo harbored no hostility towards ordinary Japanese people. However, for former Japanese soldiers like Katase, who constantly chanted the kamikaze, it was best if they simply disappeared from Japan at the moment.

Neither the current Area 11 nor the new regime established on this land in the future needs these former Japanese soldiers, neither their people nor their ideology.

The new government that will be established in Japan in the future will belong only to the vast majority of Japanese compatriots.

Hmm... A mysterious organization called the Japanese Patriotic Party has started to gain popularity in Japan. Coincidentally, the members of this organization also have a strong affinity for the color red.

……

Lelouch and his group left Area 11 and secretly returned to Britannia, as did the entire Ashford family. Clearly, Schneider and Lelouch's rebellion plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, it is clear that this quiet will not last long.

As Momo had predicted, two months later, Britannia's First Knight of the Round Table, Bismarck, was assassinated in a terrorist attack. A large number of people were subsequently implicated, plunging the entire noble class into chaos. In reality, the power struggle between Charles, Scherzel, and Lelouch had collapsed.

The result of the collapse was, of course, war.

Cornelia and Odysseus were both stripped of their Geass by Schusenel, as were a number of nobles and officials. However, after Charles realized what was happening, he decisively broke ties with his sons and daughters, and civil war broke out in Britannia instantly.

Now that Charles had decided to take action, he was certainly reckless in his pursuit of his ideals and his final struggle, employing almost every means at his disposal, completely disregarding the situation of the Britannian Empire.

This internal turmoil in Britannia immediately impacted the global situation. Britannia and the EU were immediately affected on the battlefields in Africa and Europe, with Britannia shifting from offense to defense, and independence movements erupting in various Britannian colonies.

However, all of this has not diminished the intensity of the civil war within Britannia. Both sides have compelling reasons to fight, and both sides have sufficient support; this war will certainly not be easily decided.

……

The civil war in Britannia did not give the EU any relief. After all, the EU was in a worse situation than in the original story. Not only could it not defeat Britannia, but it could not even defeat the Chinese Empire.

Artoria's First Army Expeditionary Force, while the EU was busy dealing with Britannia and had no time to attend to Siberia, thoroughly demonstrated what a blitzkrieg was on the vast land of Siberia.

The entire First Army was almost constantly on the move, moving even faster than the fleeing EU troops, leaving the EU, who had never seen such a battle formation, completely unable to react. Often, Artoria's army arrived at some of the EU's logistical bases, which were still preparing supplies for the frontline troops—but the frontline troops had already become a rout and fled behind them.

With no eyes in the sky and no ears on the ground, the entire EU army was completely bewildered and was driven directly to the foot of the Ural Mountains by Artoria's forces. At this time, the EU parliament had just decided to recruit a new army to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire...

Alright, now we don't need to waste time discussing who will pay for recruiting the new army, which faction's companies will handle the new weapons and equipment orders, and so on. We can now sit down calmly and discuss who should take the blame for this defeat.

Calm and collected... that would be a miracle!

While lawmakers were fighting tooth and nail over who should take the blame, resorting to physical violence to demonstrate democracy and justice, the people of the entire EU could no longer tolerate the parliament's repeated failures and incredibly low efficiency.

Countless people took to the streets to protest, the approval rating of those in power plummeted, and the entire social system faced collapse.

Faced with this situation, perhaps imperialist countries could use military force to suppress it and establish a military government to stabilize society. However, in the current EU, no single person has sufficient authority to do so.

what?

Let's all join in?

Let's sit down and have a calm discussion about who pays for the military expenses and who takes the blame.

Unfortunately, patriotism is a foreign concept to seasoned EU lawmakers. Those who do have such sentiments are mostly sent to the front lines or used as pawns.

While the entire EU was in chaos, one person stepped forward: Leila Marukal, a girl who had been captured by Artoria.

Leila has not only returned, but she also carries Artoria's will. As long as Artoria's conditions are met, the Ural Mountains can become the final destination of the Chinese Empire's First Army Expeditionary Force.

Leila's appearance also caught the eye of EU lawmakers who were eager to find a scapegoat.

At this moment, what the EU, which is in the midst of disaster and chaos, urgently needs is for someone to stand up, to act as a savior, to unify the entire EU, and to get the EU running again to deal with this chaotic situation.

Leila is a great choice!

Despite having no political experience, no qualifications, and perhaps not even the ability, none of that matters. It's all perfect, the best thing to do after use and then discard or pass the buck.

In particular, Leila carries Artoria's peaceful will.

Thus, Leila was molded into a hero who brought peace, and was rapidly promoted through various irregular means, packaged as a modern Joan of Arc, and became a hero in the eyes of every EU citizen.

It was because of Leila's presence that Britannia stopped its attack and brought the Chinese Empire's steel torrent to a halt. All of this was because of Leila!

Finally, Leila, who was only eighteen years old, was even unanimously elected as the supreme leader of the EU's interim emergency government, and ascended to the throne of the EU's highest power amidst the cheers of all EU citizens.

However, aside from the ignorant masses, no one thought EU would stay in this position for long. After all, Leila had no real power, let alone military power. Such a young girl was just waiting to be ravaged by them...

Then, these parasites of the EU stopped laughing.

Because Leila's first order after taking office was very similar to Clovis's order, which was to request Artoria, the leader of the First Army Group of the Chinese Empire, to lead the First Army Group into the EU and help the EU fight against Britannia.

The order was issued and the entire EU fell silent. However, because of the immense prestige that Leila had previously gained, the people of the EU did not directly question the right or wrong of the order.

After all, the kind and simple-minded people of the EU still have great trust in contracts. Moreover, after Artoria's troops entered the EU, they did indeed uphold the spirit of not taking a single needle or thread from the people, and did not commit any offenses against them.

At this point, the councilors who had tried to make Leila a scapegoat and a fall guy were no longer laughing; they were crying.

Artoria's army certainly doesn't take a single needle or thread from the masses, but unfortunately, these big shots... shouldn't they be considered masses by any means?

With Leila's help on the surface and Artoria's help behind the scenes to eliminate the malignant tumor, the EU situation quickly stabilized. The reason Leila assisted Artoria was because Artoria assured Leila that she would bring peace to the EU, a peace without any exploitative conditions.

Artoria captivated Leila with her charm, gaining Leila's trust and making her willing to step forward and work for the peace of the EU.

Artoria has indeed succeeded. With Artoria's forces as a strong ally, the balance of military power between the EU and Britannia has shifted from two parties to three, making the situation more stable. Britannia's army is now even less willing to act rashly.

Meanwhile, Artoria's army gradually won the trust of the EU people, and the First Army's supplies gradually began to be provided by the EU. The soldiers, far from home, felt the warmth of the EU people and obeyed Artoria's orders.

At this point, the emperor was truly far removed from the world, and his orders could no longer even reach the First Army Group.

……

A few months later, with the first snow of 2017, the civil war in Britannia, which had lasted for nearly half a year, finally came to a conclusion.

After all, the Sakura Stone resources were controlled by Clovis, who was one of Xiuzenair's men. Although Charles's side was initially strong, he was eventually defeated in the process of attrition.

All of this enraged Charles. Relying on Code's immortality and the countless loyal followers whose memories he had altered, Charles planned a decapitation strike against Schneider and Lelouch. Unfortunately for Charles, Lelouch had outmaneuvered him and captured him alive after a fierce battle.

Well... anyway, there's no other outcome than capturing them alive.
