So this a theory from someone

`This is set between series R1 and R2 remember, at the end of R1 Lelouch got taken to the Emperor and had his mind wiped, he was then from what we've seen, brainwashed into becoming a stragetist for the Britannian Empire to quickly defeat the EU and acquire those places that the Emperor wants. The Emperor then probably wiped his memory again and made him think he was Lelouch Lamperouge, which we see at the beginning of R2.`

And I think that person is right. It is very possible that that happened
