True, but it should be kept in mind that Britannia is or is going to be having problems on multiple fronts. Already we've seen that their war against the Middle Eastern Federation has taken a turn for the worse as anti-Knightmare weapons have been put into use and a Solar general with Lunar support has handed Cornelia a crushing defeat, which means they'll likely be sending additional resources there. Further, if they haven't already they'll need to commit to a home front against whatever the Abyssals that seem to be in South America are doing. Then there's whatever Solar, Abyssal, and Lunar plots going on that we don't know about that are likely to be popping up.
That being said I have a question for my fellow questers do we have any planes for acquiring the services of Gottwald in the near future. I know its kind of meta gaming but I do love his character and unless there have been more butterflies then I expected he should be 200 precent loyal to us once he knows who we are.
Lelouch has no IC reason to wish to recruit Jeremiah Gottwald - as far as Lelouch knows, he's just the now disgraced and probably former leader of the Pureblood faction, which is really a reason not to recruit him since the Pureblood ideology goes against his own.

Yeah but if given the choice between holding onto their gains in the Middle East vs Japan they are going to reinforce Japan.
Their military runs on Sakuradite and Japan supplies 70% of the world's supply. They lose Japan and their entire military (and potentially civilian economy as well) grind to a halt.

I doubt it will grind to a halt. The rest of the world survives on whatever is left of the 30% after Britannia takes the other Sakuradite mines it owns.

Indeed. That's a large part of why we want to take Japan.
Basically, as long as we don't end up with more Akio's, they'll never see us coming until they realize that every Eleven in Japan is a Yozi worshipper.

The recent infernals who rather like their mutations, or characters like my infernal who are literally mad and don't care if the entire Celestial Legion is baring down in them (ok, they won't do that, they are mad, not stupid) may let them notice a bit earlier.
Nooooooooot really. It kind of insults all the people who chose him, including his Yozi patron, by all but saying that we know better than them. That'd be... awkward.

To an extent, but he's pretty damn pliable if you can tolerate his idiocy - he'll probably do anything Lelouch tells him to, simply because Lelouch is the guy in charge. Though we could have Kaguya use VEE to make him smarter, if we could just get him to say he wanted to be. He doesn't even have to mean it! Though given his mentality it might be better that he's an idiot...
On a completely and utterly unrelated note but equally important one, what skills and or charms do we need to insure that the giant pizza festival actually succeeds in creating the pizza this year?

Considering the only reason it didn't work that time was due to Euphemia's presence being revealed due to wind knocking off her hat, we'd need to cause a Fate error and somehow do that. Unfortunately, that's not a particularly likely thing we could stop.

The entire reason that the pizza doesn't get made is because Suzaku drops the dough he's spinning due to him trying to stop the various people trying to head towards Euphemia from doing anything dangerous, and Lelouch is at the time running away from Euphemia's location with Nunnally so a bunch of cameras don't get put on him and her sitting next to Euphie as that would almost certainly blow their cover. You might want to go back and watch the relevant part of the episode. Everything went wrong in a single instant, and there's not really anything that could be done to stop it.

Japan has 70% of the World's supply of Sakuradite. It does not mean that they produce that much.
The EU was cut off from Japan (not to mention isolated in Europe) for years and went to war with Britannia, but they were never shown to suffer from crippling supply problems. Indeed, they could still hold their ground and even mount small operations despite this.
I wonder if we could eventually start supplying the EU through Infernal gates? Send a truckload of Sakuradite to Malfeas, have it drive through Cecelyne and out into the EU.
Now we're thinking with portals parallel universes.
Ok, decided I'd make a navy oriented Infernal, but went with a pirate. We could probably still use another navy type Infernal, but this ensures we've got one. Anyways, normally a pirate would probably fare well with Kimbery, and this one especially would given she's a Lintha descendant who actually worships Kimbery, but Kimbery is all out of slots and she was greedy and enterprising enough to catch Ta'akozoka's attention.

"Please! Don't do this, Captain. I'm not a traitor! I'm not!" the traitor screamed.
Lukkage sighed. He was lying through his teeth. Even if Jihengal hadn't told her that it was this treasonous little shit that had been responsible for the destruction of most of her fleet she would have seen right through him as he was. "Borin, it's no use. I know you sold us out to Britannia. Us! Your clan! Your crew! Your blood! You have betrayed all that and more, and caused hundreds of us to die in that trap. For what? Money?" Perhaps it was a bit hypocritical for her to ask this while casually admiring the jeweled rings on her fingers, but it wasn't like she had sold out her clan for them. Not like this fool.
"No! Dammit! I don't want to die!" Borin yelled out, desperately. "Mercy! Please, have mercy, Captain!"
"Oh no, Borin, I can't do that. You have turned on us, against kin and clan, and that can't be forgiven. Though you are of our blood, thinned though it has been over the millennia, so I cannot deny you your funeral rites." She gestured imperiously with her fan. "Veesil, play a dirge!"
"Yes, Captain!" Veesil responded, beginning to play the clan's traditional song of mourning. The other crewmen began carrying Borin's bound form towards the edge of the ship.
"Fuck you, Lukkage! You damn bitch, like I'd follow a damn wench! Your damn father MMMPH" The filth's outburst was cut short as one of the crew had the good sense to gag him before he said anything more. Already Lukkage could feel her blood boiling. The nerve! Acting as if she was inferior as a captain because she was a woman. Objectively, she knew that Borin had not been the only one to think that, in spite of the fact that the Great Mother's teachings cared nothing about the gender of her children. Not all of the men cared for the teachings, though, thinking them old tales.
Lukkage knew better. Her father had taught her the great history of the Red Lintha Clan, how the Great Mother Sea had birthed their noble ancestors, the various rites to appease the sea spirits, and so much more. Even so, many of the others were too weak to grasp the teachings, but that would change now. She had lost most of the clan to treachery, but what was left was strong, and she now had proof of the teachings. She had gained great power, and through that the Red Lintha Clan would prosper once more. Oh, certainly they already had wealth, but it wasn't enough. She would not rest until the clan was so wealthy that it was the envy of the entire world.
Still, she had to deal with the misogynists within the clan now and again. It hasn't been too troublesome. All she had to do was project an aura of complete invincibility and ruthlessly crush all who opposed her. After that, it was merely a matter of ensuring that she had enough success to keep the crew supplied with enough booze, women, and entertainment to keep them happy. Most men were simple creatures with simple needs, after all. Not that she was too terribly different, she thought as she yanked on the chains of one of her two slaves so as to better admire the girl's face. Lukkage simply had more expensive tastes than them was all. Perhaps that was why she had been chosen by Ta'akozoka instead of the Great Mother?
It didn't matter. She would go to meet and honor the Great Mother in time, after she had the approval of the Marshal of the Althing to journey into Hell. That should hopefully not take long. But right now...
She stood, giving the simple rites of funeral that was even a traitor's due as was her duty as the head of the clan. "Borin of the Red Lintha Clan, who is of our blood, from the sea we where born and to the sea we must all return! I consign your body to the deep in the name of the Great Mother."
"In the name of the Great Mother." repeated the whole of the crew at once as they cast him overboard. She smiled knowing that the sharks that had been gathering after they had chummed the waters would feast upon his still living flesh.
"Well, now that that's over, how would you boys like to make a trip to Japan? I'm told we might be able to get some fancy new ships there with which to loot and plunder to our hearts' content!"

Perhaps. But then again, they dont seem to actually need much of it. They just don't want to be in a war since most of the upper crust makes mad dosh selling weapons to both sides (unless we convimce them, at least).
Though we could just manipulate or blackmail Smilas into taking over with his debt to a certain group of Code Bearers (or perhaps strike a deal with them), but the latter would require meta knowledge (or perhaps we could just ask C.C.).
