Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

I'm still not expecting those Japanese yahoos to make such a deal and abandon the UN. That would go heavily against logic. They might try to sell Zero, for sure, for a good price like Japan, but that doesn't mean they would suddenly leave the UN. Because it makes zero sense (no pun here). If they leave the UN and thus the UN would get crippled, Britannia would crush the other nations and then come back to Japan and crush the BK lingering there, alone. So what if there was some deal? What are they going to do? Sue the Emperor?

It would be a victory, after a fashion, for the UN if Japan was reclaimed with a deal. After that they could concentrate their forces on some other fronts. War does not miss one man, the saying goes. Sure, Zero was behind all this originally, but I doubt the other UN leaders would simply surrender to Britannia if Zero disappeared.

Well, Ougi clearly demanded the exchange, I doubt Ougi is crafty enough to make a tactical and politically advantageous decision in this case. He probably thought the entire OBK thing was a farce and wants to end it all by trading it off with Japan's liberation.

The UN definitely will not surrender, but that is not the issue here. The question is whether the remaining forces in the OBK excluding those under the command of the traitors would still remain with OBK, or view their acts as traitorous. I don't think Xing Ke (and those under his command) is willing to work under anyone other than Zero.
