"The agreement has been drafted, and the extension of the imperial debt is undisputed. At the same time, the cabinet has decided to issue a new round of national debt on top of this, with an amount of 300 to 400 billion imperial coins to balance the balance of payments, subsidize military expenditures, and social welfare. . But this time the national debt will not be issued domestically. I think you can guess the reason for such a strange move."
Kamyu told Yagami Yagami, a former member of the Black Knights and now the commander-in-chief of the Afghan Autonomous Prefecture of the Federation of China, the information he had just obtained.
"This is a huge amount! And are they all distributed overseas?" Yagami asked in surprise.
It¡¯s not that the empire has never issued treasury bonds to foreign countries. For the sake of trade and currency stability, both the EU and the Chinese Federation have subscribed to the empire¡¯s treasury bonds. It's just that at this time, the empire is issuing such a huge amount of national debt. Will the EU, a belligerent country, and the Chinese Federation, a potential belligerent country, really subscribe to it?
"Although the Chinese Federation is equal in wealth, the corruption at the top is well known. For the sake of property security, purchasing the Empire's bearer treasury bonds is a very safe method, and considering the considerations of the eunuchs for their own situation. , about one third can be digested. And the rest"
¡°You mean EU will buy it!?¡±
If the fact that Zero is the prince of the empire is at the top of his unbelievable list, then what he heard now may knock it off the top.
"Of course, but it's not the EU government, but the EU's big conglomerates"
"You're kidding!!" Yagami Yagami certainly couldn't think that Kamiyu was joking with him, but there were too many things that surprised him.
Are the EU consortiums so rich? That's not a few billion, but a huge fund of at least more than 200 billion! That's not the problem! Aren't they betraying their country by doing this? Yagami knew very well the feeling of losing his motherland and being bullied. He really didn't understand why these people would act traitorously when the country clearly still had great power.
There were too many questions that could not be expressed in words at the same time, and in the end they just condensed into this sentence: "Are you kidding me".
"So, what do you want me to do by telling me this?"
However, Yagami quickly gave up the inquiry. The economy was not his strong point. In addition, he took in hundreds of thousands of Japanese stranded in the EU. Now, although his rule is not a mess, it is still a mess. With such a heavy burden, there is not much energy left to care about anything else.
"This information will be passed on to General Smelas of the EU at the appropriate time."
"that is it?"
"Yes, that's enough."
The communication ended, and Kamyu breathed out softly.
The EU's financial situation is very bad, and it will face the same situation as the Empire this year - debt maturities. The debt of up to 18 trillion yuan, even in interest, is an astronomical sum for any organization and political system. In the past, when the EU was strong, it could carry out quantitative easing to export recessions to other countries, but what about now?
Once the EU decides to postpone its debt and raise the ceiling, the only people who will pay the bill will be EU citizens and large financial groups.
" Compared with letting these consortiums waste their money, joining the empire is a good choice. Besides, aren¡¯t the Six Original Kyoto Houses in District 11 a good example? The Imperial Treasury Bond is an investment certificate. If these funds are allocated to its major funds, 200 to 300 billion is not a lot, but it is a sure-profit business. When the EU economy completely collapses, these government bonds will be more valuable than gold.
Now Kamyu finally knows the real reason why those big chaebols summoned the major investment banks, enterprises and companies in the country. The money needs to be shared among everyone, but the number of tickets to get on the bus is limited. As for how many people will jump off the building at that time, and the big conglomerates who got on the bus will control them to death?
"Equal rights? Isn't the law of competition where the big fish eats the small fish a smooth one?"
Just when Camillo was sneering, the communicator suddenly rang again.
"Lord Camillo, I have some bad news."
"Bad news" Kamiyu's mood suddenly sank. As long as Musashi said it was bad news, it could never be good news.
"So tell me."
"Lord C.C went privately to attend the Suzaku Welcome Party held by Ashford College"
"That idiot!" Although he said this verbally, Kamiyu was not too worried.
Although Ashford Academy is the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service in Area 11, it must have been controlled by Lelouch with Geass, so there is not much danger for C.C. As for Shumu Suzaku, who is the protagonist, Mi Lei¡¯s personality probably won¡¯t make it easy for him.
"And" But MusashiHe hasn't finished speaking yet, so naturally the result cannot be judged so easily.
"Ms. Monica also went to Ashford Academy. She seems to have noticed the appearance of C.C., but she hasn't confirmed it yet"
? ?Well, this is indeed bad news. Before Musashi finished speaking, Kamiyu suddenly stood up.
"I'm going over now!"
Ashford College
"Speaking of which, did Earl Lloyd say something?" Mi Lei suddenly asked Suzaku.
Because she rejected Kamiyu¡¯s proposalor perhaps because of Kamiyu¡¯s accidental death, the proposal came to nothing. Mireille ultimately couldn¡¯t escape the fate of a blind date arranged by her family. In fact, sometimes Mi Lei felt a little regretful. If she had agreed to become the prime minister's administrative assistant, she might not have had so many headaches.
"Nothing" Although he wanted to do something to improve the relationship between Lloyd and Mi Lei, Suzaku didn't know where to start because of Lloyd's weird personality.
"You must be surprised, right? Not only did you repeat the grade, but you also postponed your wedding" Mi Lei's smile was a little complicated.
At this time, she didn¡¯t know whether to feel relieved about her fianc¨¦¡¯s lack of interest, or to feel helpless because of her lack of charm.
"No!! That person may be very special from a human perspective"
Just when Suzaku realized that he had said something wrong and was about to make up for it, the quill shaking in his hand aroused the interest of the black cat named Arthur that he raised. The nimble black figure was so fast that even Suzaku didn't have time to react, and took the quill from his hand in one gulp.
"Arthur! That's Yuffie's!!" With his cherished treasure taken away, Suzaku couldn't care less about comforting Mireille and chased after Arthur.
"Suzaku! The protagonist has to wait here!!" The huge pizza making activity was about to start, and Mi Lei also chased after him
"She is such a willful woman just for such a thing. I really don't know what it is that His Highness likes about her!? Isn't Monica-sama very good?"
After finding the giant Cheese-kun doll from the lost and found office of the student union, Mia complained depressedly.
Although it is true that girls like cute things, carrying such a big thing while walking in school is too eye-catching. The safest thing in this school is to be an ordinary student with a few friends but not that well-known, rather than a talking point.
"etc!"
After hearing this order, Mia stopped reflexively.
"Military orders harm people!" Mia regretted it the moment she stopped.
"what to do?"
Mia¡¯s mind began to spin rapidly. Although it is okay to recognize Monica, this is the territory of the Intelligence Bureau. Whether it is Lelouch's side or the Empire's side, if it is revealed that she was once a member of the Kamyu Guards, her situation will be the same. danger.
Without saying a word, Mia turned around and ran away.
"Stop!!"
When the other party wants to escape, Monica naturally has to chase him.
And in another secluded corner of the campus.
Lelouch is currently checking the tomatoes in the container. Later, this entire container of tomatoes will be transported away by Suzaku using the third generation Knightmare to be used as toppings for huge pizzas.
It's just that for Lelouch, this activity can be said to be boring. Before he has a certain degree of understanding of the extent of the memory-modifying Geass imposed by the emperor on everyone, he hastily had too much contact with Suzaku. Any benefit may even make Suzaku suspicious of the collective 'betrayal' of the CIA in the school.
So from the beginning of the event, Lelouch almost completely avoided meeting Suzaku in school because of the busy schedule of the student council vice president.
"Lulu"
Just as Lelouch was thinking, Charlie's shy voice sounded behind him.
"Charliewhat are you dressed up like?" Lelouch looked back and was immediately stunned.
Charlie was seen wearing a school swimsuit, a maid's tiara on her head, nylon stockings, high heels on her legs, and a ridiculous apron around her waist. It's no wonder that such a nondescript outfit wouldn't let her down. People were stunned.
"It's really strange?" Lelouch's question immediately made Charlie blush with embarrassment.
"Nothing""I thinkit has a very avant-garde style" Lelouch's answer was obviously a joke.
But the girl in love didn¡¯t care about this problem at the moment
"There are only two of us nowwhich meansit's not good. I always feel that this is an opportunity!!" What the girl in love cares about at the moment is naturally full of thoughts of dating, or dating, and dating. .
"Well! Lulu, if you can, come with me"
But before Charlie could finish her words, she saw a huge beaver doll appear out of nowhere and swallow Lelouch's head into its mouth.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? If you are discovered!" Lelouch asked angrily inside the doll.
"You think I am willing?" Kallen replied angrily.
¡°That sponsor representative came secretly, and her cold-faced maid asked me to take her back!¡±
??Okay, Lelouch is starting to have a headache. C.C actually ran into the school. If Suzaku discovers
¡°That pizza girl must be near the production site of the huge pizza, just go there and find her and bring her back!¡±
??At the same time Lelouch gave the hint.
"What's going on with you?" Charlie, who dragged Lelouch out, unexpectedly threw Lelouch aside and instead asked about the beaver doll. Perhaps because the opportunity to be alone with Lelouch was broken like this, Charlie decided to take out her unwilling resentment on Kallen.
Kallen wanted to escape, but she couldn't get rid of Charlie's entanglement because of the bulky props and costumes.
"Lelouch!"
At this time, Suzaku and Mi Lei also followed Arthur and came here.
"Did you see Arthur? He took my precious quill away"
¡°Stop!!!¡±
The girl holding the giant Cheese-kun doll and a girl with long golden-orange hair ran towards this side at a very fast speed.
"That's it! Lord Kurushivsky!!!" Suzaku recognized the true identity of the girl chasing behind him at a glance.
"The Twelfth Knight of the Round Table!?" Lelouch reacted immediately after hearing Suzaku's whisper, and then quietly leaned against the back of the container.
Although eight years have passed, Lelouch cannot guarantee that Monica will forget his appearance.
The intention is good, but the reality is often bizarre.
The container suddenly rose, revealing Lelouch's figure again.
"Is the starting point here?" A cheerful voice came from Knightmare, who was holding up the box.
"Jino!? Are you here too?" Suzaku asked in surprise.
"That's right! The common people's school is so interesting!" Gino said so and rushed out with Knightmare on his back.
"Stop!!" Monica, who was chasing Mia, quickly ran past everyone.
"Meow~"
"Arthur!" Arthur, who was alarmed by Knightmare, continued to escape, but his direction of travel was always the same as Knightmare's. The most important thing was that he still had the precious quill in his mouth.
"Arthur!!" So Suzaku chased after him.
"Wait, this route!" If the group reaches the pizza making point then C.C
Thinking of this, Lelouch also ran resolutely.
While everyone¡¯s attention was gone, Kallen naturally ran towards the direction Lelouch pointed, but
"Wait! At least show me your face!" Charlie had decided to be the date spoiler.
"It seems very interesting" Although it had nothing to do with her, she liked the excitement and ignored her shepherdess's dress, holding up the hem of her dress and ran.
In this way, a seemingly unrelated, yet vaguely related, one-week pursuit around the campus began.
¡°I used to wonder if such a high school is too big!?¡±
After a gust of wind blew, a young man holding a big black umbrella suddenly appeared in the shade of the trees on the avenue on a sunny day.
"Although C.C has not been caught by Monica thanks to the vast area of ??this school, it will be quite troublesome to find someone."
Just as the boy was talking, a Knightmare quickly passed by the road in front of him, and the gust of wind made the boy shrink involuntarily.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed behind Knightmare.
"Is this another weird activity done by the big devil?"
The young man who walked out of the woods was still looking atThe direction in which everyone is leaving.
¡®Bang¡¯
"Yeah!" After the collision, a short female scream came out.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Mi Lei, who discovered that she had bumped into someone, said apologetically, but after seeing clearly the person she knocked down, Mi Lei was stunned.
