Magic Underachiever

After breakfast, Anne left the Avenue des Elysees and headed for the Governor's Mansion. She has seen a lot of things clearly as the situation in Marcellus has developed to this point. Also, since the beginning of the war, Marquis Whitehead has transferred his family members from the empire to Marcellus for various reasons and placed them in the imperial army. At the same time, the Marquis is also secretly transferring the family industry, shifting the focus of the entire Whitehead family to the eastern coast.

If a thorough investigation is made on the Whitehead family, it will be found that this important family in the empire is only an empty shell in the empire, with only some servants and distant clansmen managing the family estates and industries.

My father is really going to rebel.

Even knowing this, Anne can only sigh and can't change anything.

Because she knows that it was Master Liang who wanted Marcellus, and the Whitehead family was just a puppet he launched. Without his father, he would have supported others. And after losing Marcellus, his father would not be able to escape death after returning to the empire, and the whole family would be implicated.

This is no longer a question of loyalty or disloyalty, but a question of family survival.

At this time... Marquis Whitehead was also waiting for news from Master Liang. Blackfire was too blatant in reselling arms to both sides of the war. While they were upgrading the aircraft of the Parliament Army, they were also selling new anti-aircraft weapons to the Imperial Army, from radar to anti-aircraft guns, from wireless fuse shells to missiles...

On the battlefield, whoever gains an advantage will immediately have the corresponding weapons delivered to the opponent.

The Vlomink Empire is not a fool. A special investigation team targeting Blackfire has come to Saroyang. Although the Marquis did not allow the investigation team to seal up Blackfire in his capacity as Governor Marcellus, the investigation team had the order of the Emperor of the Empire, and the Marquis could not keep blocking them.

Fortunately, Daliang came back in time, and Annie also sent the news of Master Liang's appointment.

After patiently waiting for the day to pass, Marquis Whitehead came to the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in a very low-key carriage without any signs.

At this time, Daliang was still dealing with the backlog of things during his absence.

When Marquis Whitehead arrived, Da Liang was listening to the butler Mike's report on the development of Black Fire Company during this period.

In order to cooperate with Da Liang's plan to embezzle Marcellus, Black Fire Company has always focused its business on the Marcellus region. Black Fire Airlines has built airports in major cities in Marcellus and opened passenger airlines. At the same time, Black Fire Company used the money earned from the arms business to open the Black Fire Bank, and then acquired bankrupt companies on a large scale along the air transportation network.

In addition, with the funding of Black Fire Company, the Brotherhood established a complete intelligence network in Marcellus in a short period of time, and cooperated with Black Fire Company to conduct a comprehensive census of technical workers in Marcellus in the name of recruitment.

Many technicians who lost their jobs due to the war received invitations from Black Fire Company.

This war allowed Black Fire Company to complete the acquisition of the Marcellus industrial system at a very low cost. In the future, the former Scarab Company, now the "Magic Company", will also move important industries to Marcellus.

Soon, Marcellus will be built as a window for the connection between Order Star and Star Alliance, and magic and technology will far exceed other places in Order Star.

Therefore, the Marcellus War should stop.

When Sophia brought Marquis Whitehead in, Daliang asked Mike to finish the report, and asked the maid to pour a glass of wine for the Marquis, and turned on the holographic TV on the table.

The light in the room dimmed, and a dazzling starry sky appeared in front of Daliang and the Marquis.

The Marquis thought it was some new magic and didn't have much curiosity about it. For him, nothing is more important than the current situation in Marcellus. The Whitehead family is finally going to take this last step. The Marquis has both expectations for success and worries about failure.

"A very beautiful invention." Marquis Whitehead casually praised the wonders in the room, and then said to Daliang: "The imperial investigation team lives in the Governor's Mansion. The leader is Marquis Berek, who is also an important official of the empire. He has asked me many times to order troops to seal up the Black Fire Company's assets, but I refused with various excuses.

He will not give up, and it is very likely that he will directly order the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment to seal up the Black Fire Company through the imperial capital.

If you want to do anything, you must do it as soon as possible."

Daliang asked the marquis: "How many troops can you control?"

The marquis said: "The Azure Corps will help me control Saroyang, and then The imperial army protecting the Dosan Railway is my people. As long as we take over Saroyang and the Dosan Railway, and then cut off the traffic in the Death Desert, the other imperial troops will be trapped in various garrisons.

Without supplies, facing the attack of the parliamentary army, the remaining imperial army can only surrender to me.

But then I will face the counterattack of the parliamentary army and the empire at the same time. There are not many troops that I can use with confidence, and there is also the problem of supply... Without the great logistics of the empire, the wealth of the Whitehead family cannot support the war consumption for too long.

How much support can the Black Fire Company give me? "

The Dosan Railway is the main artery running through Marcellus from east to west. In order to protect it, the empire deployed heavy troops along the railway and built several large logistics supply warehouses. Even if the front line is fierce, the troops protecting the railway not only did not move, but were strengthened several times.

Now this garrison has been controlled by the Whitehead family and their confidants, and is an army loyal to the Marquis. The Azure Corps has undergone a major purge of officers, and all the replaced officers are outstanding military academy graduates selected by the Marquis Whitehead, and have completely escaped the control of the parliament. As for the Empire...

When the Marquis Whitehead served as a cabinet minister in the Empire, he was a representative of the reformists. He advocated the reuse of young people with advanced ideas to keep the Empire up to date with the ever-changing world. He opposed the old aristocratic bureaucracy and liked to reuse bold and energetic young officials.

Although the Marquis had no idea of ​​rebellion when selecting officers for the Azure Corps, in order to make the new officers adapt to the particularity of the Azure Corps, he selected young officers with certain free thoughts. After the Marquis's many appointments and encouragements, he can guarantee that once a special situation occurs, the Azure Corps will not obey the orders of the Empire, and even some of them will join the Marquis.

Marquis Whitehead can be said to have everything ready, and it depends on what kind of support the Black Fire Company can provide.

Daliang said: "The Marcellus War will not last long. When you revolt, I will persuade the Parliament Army to negotiate with you. If the Death Desert cannot be crossed, the Vlomink Empire will also negotiate if they do not want to be trapped inland.

I asked you to come here not for the Marcellus War, but to negotiate another war with you."
