I will also say, that what I just outlined is disgusting and unethical, but may yield results. It doesn’t mean I endorse them, or the slaughter of Elevens, but instead I support the economic posterity that comes from being a protectorate of the Britannian Empire

Maybe this is really stupid but it may be stupid enough to work. So I suggest, NOT HAVING A FORMAL STRATEGY at all, get an elite troop who is used to “dealing whatever is out there” and deal whatever lulu can throw at you, after all if most plans don’t work so why use a plan at all..

First, initiate small insurrections and target the media. “Control the media, control the mind” you can then begin recruitment and the Brotherhood’s tactics are of stealth and sabotage.

Also, it is advisable that you provide propanganda in which you publically show Zero’s senior officers being executed as a way to boost morale and it is advisable that you show the media the atrocities that Zero commits, in order to convert more people to the Brotherhood.

Therefore, the brotherhood’s sources are limited against Zero. So where we lack mass power, we excel in long range and technology. Also in the RP, the discovery of S-humans (the race that distributes Geass) has become a prime priority for the Brotherhood to gain the upper hand and crush Zero (Lulu is building up his artificial S-human Corp and targets other S-humans for extermination so they do not get in the way of his plan)

My characters often use discarded blueprints of the Frames and remodifies them for their own uses.

You know if Britannia still had the SAS they would have ended Lulu pretty early one with a knife through the ribs and into his heart piercing his left lung.

You are right though to stop an insurgency one side has to be bleed white, it may as well ber your enemies…

Sign a treaty with China, then pop the nukes. You may dispense with the treaty if you wish.

Leave the sakuradite centres untouched, then proceed with conventional bombing.

With radiation poisoning and the bombing runs, if Lulu can actually put up a defense, I’ll be surprised. If he survives the initial wave of nukes, that is.

There’s only one way to stop a rebellion and that is to kill everyone who might be in it. Leaving Japan as so much irradiated rock, the innocent slaughter of Brittanians and killing CC are the only consequences but eh. That’s why I hired (read: Geassed) those spindoctors in the first place.

If i had to extract CC, well, I’d insert SAS troops with tinted glasses/goggles to grab CC and destroy what little air defense he has, then hightail it out of there before proceeding with the plan as outlined above.

The point here is to strike without warning.

Britannia has to maintain and fund:
A World War that apparently takes them several years;
Superior military technology;
Humongous administration;
A Huge Army to conquer more and more territories;
Another Huge Army to keep the remaining territories safe;
Another Huge Army to fight with Lulu;
A Gigantic spynet;
Soldiers’ salaries;
Luxuries used everyday by Brittannian Citizens(like gigantic pizza, good clothes, electronics, automation, and such needs);
A Huge City destroyed by some terrorists in a municipal battle during the 1st Season;
Developing some revolutionary magic-science that allows robots to shoot energy beams without a problem;
Insane amounts of energy used by everything;
Starving Slaves, that are crucial for economic growth;

You can’t go like that for too long without breaking a sweat.
Well, if you know how expensive a jet-fighter is, you’ll imagine how utterly pointless it would be to use humanoid machines as basic equipment. Robots are always more expensive than standard machines. And not necessarily adequate for every situation. It would be like using the most advanced and precise nuclear-rail-guns for getting rid of mosquitoes. Or using real people in crash tests. Or serving only the most expensive cuisine in fast-foods.

Setting those insignificant matters aside(concluding that nobody cares about money - you, my dear bourgeoisie anime fans, and the authors), that marathon would be a good idea.

You know - it’s pointless to try to use logic, sense, and rational reasoning to justify something that was created by someone who has no idea about reality I remember when scientists were trying to explain how Superman could really exist. Still, they didn’t know how to turn a piece of regular coal into a diamond by crushing it in your hand.

To defeat Lulu, I’d use Pharaoh Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh(who always wins), or Hello Kitty to secretly assassinate him, or bore him to death by talking about in how many ways you know Suzaku is Da Best and so on. Another idea would be trapping him in a neverending fanservice episode. Or, you could chase him till he faints, and throw a pokeball at him. I remmeber that there was a golden GS-Ball in Pokemon. Pronounced like “Geass-Ball”. How very convenient.

Oh, and we can use an aphrodisiac on C.C. and Lelouch, so they’ll make love until our hero dies because of a heart attack.

That would make just as much sense as this discussion ;>

Given how Lulu sucks at doing physical things, maybe we can kill him by making him run a marathon…

I have no idea what Lulu plans on building after he wins, but don’t be so eager to extol revolution given how most of them have turned out. Don’t forget that Mao Zedong was a bright eyed revolutionary once, but we all know how epically he failed in the end.

But if you are really bent on defeating Lulu that really shudn’t be a hard work cause Britanians 1)outnumber them 2)have better mightmares at most times 3)Nunally (the most important).

If Lulu were a real terrorist he’d be smart enough to just make recordings rather than live broadcasts. Well at least in Area 11 common sense seems to be in rather short supply.

You are right though because Lulu is in a different league than every grunt commander out there the only opposition that he has consists of plot armored foes like Suzaku.

The British Empire by the time it fell had been bleed white from two world wars which they fought from start to finish. By the end of WWII Britian was nearly bankrupt form having to fight two total wars and no longer had the military power to hold on to her Empire. It was not merely a bunch of colonials getting sick of British rule but it had been long in coming because reform had taken too slowly during Britain’s years of strength. It was not colonial uprisings that caused the British to fold it was the two world wars that sounded the decline of the British Empire for in the aftermath there was not enough military power to keep it all together. Subsequent uprisings succeeded because there was not enough military might nor much political will left to keep it all. You cannot credit the fall of the British Empire to colonial uprisings alone. Both World Wars did much to weaken the British Empire and made it dependent on American loans.

The key to supplying terror groups is that you either have to have them under your thumb, but if not you only give them the bare minimum of weapons and supplies to make them strong enough to be a nuisance and not a major threat. China is not going to give full support to Lulu out of the goodness of their hearts. Unless they are stupid they are aware of the threat he poses and will hesitate before giving him anything, hence why they turned him away in the first place. Besides if China is opting for a proxy war then you can be sure Britannia is doing the same.

A submarine still needs a port and dry dock because salt water wreaks havoc on ships of all types. As there are only a finite number of ports in Japan a loose blockade and mines of said ports would make submarine ops difficult. Given that Britannia has aerial dominance photo reconnaissance of said ports will be able to alert high command of the submarine’s location. We do not need to hunt it out in the open ocean all we need to do is keep watch on those ports. If Lulu is going to protect his sub he will need submarine pens and those will take time to construct. Coupled with Britannian aerial recon and vulnerability of all ports to the Royal Navy keeping a sub is going to take a lot of resources for that singular purpose. The blockade serves multiple purposes and given that Lulu only has one submarine it will be much more vulnerable to radio intercepts giving away its location. Radio silence however will skirt the problem but invite a whole new set of problems as the sub itself will be alone and extremely vulnerable. A small scale version of SOSUS could be installed around Japanese waters making tracking of one sub more easy. Given that the US was able to tail USSR SSBNs with attack subs with SOSUS submarines are not invulnerable.

The Gefun disturber is a nice toy but not a good weapon. first off it requires that a single target walk into a circle into a system that needs wires. Placement has to be key and if the enemy flies over it or initiates a preliminary bombardment then the system fails automatically. Fixed defense are not a solution when there are miles of coast line to defend. Given that the EU Navy was unable to stop a trans Atlantic invasion the Royal Navy has naval dominance there as well. I know artillery and a couple of air burst rounds will effectively cut those wires and shred the crew needed to operate the system. Again nice toy, but it will not provide the kind of static defense the EU needs in the face of Britannian amphibious assaults. Besides once Britannia initiates a war of maneuver static defenses like the Gefun Disturber will be of limited use.

Keep in mind that at this stage unless the EU can crank out new weapons like crazy wonder weapons will not do much for them except forestall the inevitable. Also in the case of resource allocation securing energy supplies is a strategic goal that warrants the use of significant forces. Rollo might be dry humping Lulu to protect him, but even Rollo cannot over come a well placed mine or bombs in quantity. Sure he can stop a lone assassin, but Rollo can’t stop gravity bombs.

and by following your plan about continuous patrol just to capture 1 person and to quell a rebellion would cost a lot of resources for britannia and just to secure a small country while somewhere else the EU is busy reclaiming it’s lands from britannia all because of area 11…

and the value of trading rakshata’s tech is quite high imo… placing her devices to stop KMFs at the EUs borders can effectively raise their defenses… even jesus was defenseless when trapped by her KMF-stopping devices…

i forgot to mention that za warudo would gladly protect his dear brother from anything so that’s a plus for lulu’s defence…

If there ever would have been a ‘Brittannian Empire’ that ruled both Americas and the Pacific, and Japan, and was going to smash Europe using only few superior units - I highly doubt that only one country would try do rebel. Besides, if you ever played Europa Universalis, you know how hard it is to rule everywhere.

The more an Empire is aggressive, the less stable it becomes. War requires more money than you think. The Nazi Germany is an excellent example. While oppressed people will use scythes and forks, and put their lives on the line to fight for freedom, imperial soldiers have no such desperate motivation and need money, equipment, labour law, holidays, and so on.

Just look at the present USA - such a relatively tiny country like Iraq is still in chaos, despite billions of dollars that have been spent, and years of military action. It’s much easier to control a country economically than using force.
