Welcome to Bath Suprematism Terra

It is also impossible to determine who the stowaways are.

This is a tacit understanding formed over the past few decades. Interest groups have been fully formed and mature, and no moderate reformist can break it.The huge and invincible Ursus Empire has long been corroded by internal and external enemies, and the fierce internal contradictions have made it seem stable and shattered.Its new emperor must resolve or divert these contradictions through a series of world-shocking events to demonstrate his authority, accumulate his prestige among the middle and lower classes, and expand his power in fact. Only in this way can the emperor have Enough power to reform their own country, fundamentally smashing these decadent rentier groups, and thus rejuvenating the empire.

And there is nothing like launching a foreign war that expands the territory to divert domestic conflicts and accumulate prestige for the young emperor, if it can win in the end.

PS: I was right about 23333, Ling Lan's father is indeed that kind of small-shou type man...

Chapter 478 Chapter 473 Map

This is Ursus today, but unfortunately, it has not been long since the last war that almost involved the whole world - to be precise, less than 20 years - the wounds of the war have not yet fully healed, and the The economies of all are recovering and on the whole are at least ostensibly in a booming upswing and there is no reason to go to war.

Under such circumstances, it took so long to fight a justifiable local war like the Kazdel civil strife, let alone a big country like Ursus.If you want to launch a war that expands the territory, Ursus must have more adequate preparations and tough excuses.

Otherwise, it will definitely fall into a state of siege by various countries because of its violation of giri, and it will collapse completely.Of course, this is not what the ambitious Emperor Ursas wanted to see, so he has been planning, looking for an excuse and opportunity that no one can fault...

He is making a long-term plan, and there is a certain expectation of his in this snow field.Although Bodrokasti was brave and good at fighting and betrayed his motherland, causing a lot of chaos in the northern snow field, but he was a relatively pure martial artist without much international political vision, a pure-blooded and reckless Wendigo.As long as he operates properly, he can still continue to serve the country in a curved manner.

Like giving Ursus an irresistible excuse to start a war.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Gu Hengsheng for the time being.He had just crossed the border and entered the territory on the snowfields of Ursus.It's even colder here than Kasimir, and the weather is not beautiful and it's snowing heavily.A group of people drove two cars—there were several other unmanned alliance members who came to carry out the mission, and they didn't leave yet—and drove straight in until they finally stopped at their stronghold in the northern border of Ursas.

After getting off the car, the group walked into the heating room.A fire burned inside, turning the white walls orange.A few Ursus people wearing ermine fur are sitting here. Obviously, they are the leaders of the Ursus League in Ursas.

Gu Hengsheng originally thought that only Kuranta would join the Wuzhou League, but he didn't expect that the Ursas would do the same.It seems that the interests really do not distinguish between races, and all organizations welcome people who can make contributions to join.

"I can only send you here."

Not long after entering this room, even though he was heartbroken, Platinum still had to say these words that symbolized parting.She looked at Gu Hengsheng who was right in front of her eyes, bit her lips, and finally just sighed: "See you tomorrow."

Gu Hengsheng hugged her, and at the door, the two had a long farewell kiss.

Teresia subconsciously grabbed Kelsey's cuffs, and Kelsey looked at her in surprise, and found that the Sarkaz princess's face was blushing, as if she was extremely shy: "It's so sweet, Kelsey, look ..."

Kelsey: "...Are you watching some teen romance comics?"

Teresia coughed lightly, avoiding the topic.

After the kiss, Platinum left quickly.Even though she still wants to stay with him for a while longer, to be tender with him for a while, but because of her duty, she can't stay in this place of Ursas for too long.It's best to leave as soon as possible, after all, she still has a lot of things to do in Kasimir.

After seeing off Platinum, Gu Hengsheng returned to the resting point, his face full of melancholy.The person in charge of the Wuzhou League looked at him with envy and a little bit of jealousy, and then said, "Sir, what do you need me to prepare for you?"

Gu Hengsheng looked around the room, and then asked, "Are there any other rooms?"

The two persons in charge looked at each other, then nodded: "Yes, sir, do you need a rest?"

"Oh no, I hope you can go to another room to rest first. I have something to discuss with these two ladies." Gu Hengsheng said, his eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.Platinum is gone, and the time to relax is over.Then, it's time for serious work.

The two looked at each other, then stood up together: "Okay, as you wish, sir."

With that said, the two left the room together.So in the huge room, there were only three people left: Gu Hengsheng, Teresia and Kelxi.

Even though the stove was on, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a bit.Kelsey and Teresia also found chairs and sat down. All three looked serious, and the air seemed a little dull for a while.

"Okay, now we can discuss the next specific course of action, two ladies."

From the bag he carried with him, he took out a brand new map of the northern snowfield of Usas that had never been published on the market. Gu Hengsheng spread it out on the table while talking, and said: " I can't be sure that the information I have on the northern part of the country is the most complete and reliable. In fact, even on this map, there are many places that are controversial. There is no way, this country is too closed, and its northern border is especially desolate and chaotic. can do this step.”

But then, he suddenly changed the subject and said: "But in order to ensure the smoothness of our next action plan, Your Highness Teresia, if you have other maps in your hand, please take them out, thank you."

What he said was very sincere, Teresia glanced at Kelsey, and the latter also took out a few rolls of maps, and said: "But unfortunately, Mr. Gu Hengsheng, we are not as able to hire as your company There are map processing talents, and there is no powerful computer and map processing software. So I can only bring all the copies of the maps we got, as a sincerity, I hope you can have a look."

As she spoke, she spread out the maps one by one on the table.As a result, the table, which seemed to have a large area, was immediately covered with maps, and many small characters were densely written on it, making people dizzy at first glance.

"It's already very good, Ms. Kelsey, at least we have more samples for reference." Gu Hengsheng smiled, and then began to compare, "I hope we can get the most correct terrain, and... I seem to have Some special gains."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, electricity surged between his fingers, and the electromagnetic force scanned the entire room and its surroundings.After confirming that the people of the Wuzhou League did not eavesdrop around, he then pointed to one of the maps and said, "What do these red dots mean? Oh, let me guess, this is probably your The target where the snowfield guerrillas appeared most recently?"

Chapter 479 Chapter 474 Information Exchange

"Your guess is extremely accurate, Mr. Gu Hengsheng." Teresia nodded.

"Hiss, it seems that your intelligence network is far more developed and powerful than mine." Gu Hengsheng sighed, "I would be unable to do this kind of thing anyway."

"You are too self-effacing. We were just lucky. We got this map indirectly by bribing some Ursus diplomats." Teresia said, she took a step forward and pointed at the map. , continued, "Ursas officials are using it to speculate on the next move of the guerrillas. Maybe the army has already been dispatched, but to be honest, I don't have much hope for the value of this map."

"Because the above information is basically out of date?" Gu Hengsheng took a closer look. The latest information was on November 28th, and today is December [-]th. This is almost the latest information you can get."

"But this information is already ten days ago, and it will take time for us to operate in Ursas. It is winter now, and the road is not easy to travel. When we arrive at the place where they last appeared, it will be four days at least. Kelsey said, "Then it has been fourteen days since they last appeared, fourteen days, two weeks, for a guerrilla known for its mobility, it is enough for them to run until they don't know what to do." somewhere."

"Maybe we can ask the Unarmored Alliance?" Teresia suddenly said, "Don't they often do missions in Ursus? And there is also their stronghold here, maybe they will have the latest information in their hands?"

"I asked them about this issue in advance, Your Highness Teresia." Gu Hengsheng said, "But Platinum regretfully told me that their actions on Ursas' side are actually very few, and the main Concentrate in personnel, oh, it should be said that it is a big city with dense aristocrats. Only there will be their orders, and they rarely set foot in the fringe areas of bitter cold."

"To obtain this information, you don't need to set foot in the bitter cold area, you just need to buy some officials who are in charge of the information." Teresia said, "Compared to this, in an area where nobles are dense, it is also... "

"Okay, Miss Teresia." Gu Hengsheng nodded, "Then, can you provide a list for the Wuzhou League and guide them to bribe officials who may have the information?"

Teresia was momentarily at a loss for words, indeed, she couldn't do it.In fact, it was a coincidence that she was able to get this map. A well-connected Ursas diplomat stationed in Rem Billiton somehow got to know her purpose, and then exchanged this information for some money.She could confirm that the map was real through some more lagging news from Ursas, but she really didn't know where the diplomat got the map from.

"I'll let them inquire as much as possible. Maybe some of them will pay attention to this news. But it's still the same sentence, don't hold out too much hope." Gu Hengsheng said, and then he lowered his head and looked at the news. To the map, "And I don't think the news, a little delay will have much impact. In the past few years, Ursus always got the first-hand news. Did the army catch those guerrillas?"

Teresia smiled, and the answer to Gu Hengsheng's question was self-evident: Obviously not, otherwise they wouldn't have come here.

"So don't worry about how timely this information is, it's enough that it can point us in a general direction." Gu Hengsheng said, but then, he realized his slip of the tongue, "Oh no, it's not us, specifically It should be 'you'. It is impossible for me to act with you all the time, and the main purpose of my coming here is to investigate what Romanov is trying to hide from me."

"I have to go to some of the more well-known mines here, maybe we will have to part ways soon..."

"Miss Platinum probably hopes so too." Teresia forced a smile, and she was still in the mood to make a joke.Gu Hengsheng also smiled, and then drew a line on the map: "Let me take a look, here, Pengshen Coal Mine... According to the information I have at hand, this should be one of the largest mines in the snowfield in the north of Usas Yes, I will definitely invest here in the future, so I will definitely go here to have a look. And it is also on the way for you two to find the guerrillas, so... let's go here together first, and then part ways, how about ?”

"Very good plan, Mr. Gu Hengsheng." Kelsey said, "but there is a problem. According to my information, the mine there was empty as early as three years ago. It's just that there were still a large number of infections gathered there before. Or miners, there is no place to settle, so they have been lying about still mining.”

"The guerrillas fought there once last year. If my predictions are correct, all the infected people there should have joined the guerrillas. Except for the white bones, there is probably nothing left there."

Gu Hengsheng: "...Oh, it seems that Romanov is also a good player. But I am curious, Ms. Kelsey, how do you know these secret information? Normally speaking, there should not be many people I will pay attention to this kind of leftover news.”

He suspected that this woman was lying to him, although he couldn't figure out what her purpose was.

"I used to be the Lord of Ursus. Although it doesn't welcome me now, at least I still have some contacts." Kelsey said, she was neither humble nor overbearing, so it was difficult to judge whether she was lying or not, " In order to meet you, I also did a lot of homework."

"Then can those contacts of yours get some more timely information about the snowfield guerrillas?" Gu Hengsheng asked tentatively.

"No." Kelsey shook his head resolutely, "That's a military secret, and it's now managed by an independent system."

"But a diplomat stationed in RIM Billiton can get it." Gu Hengsheng said.

"Yes, I was also shocked when I found out about this." Kelsey said, "I didn't expect that after some people left, Ursus' army could... fall down to here."

Gu Hengsheng: "...Okay, let's skip this topic. If this is the case, the route needs to be re-planned."

He looked at the map, took out a pen, and drew another location on it: "How about we go directly here?"

Teresia and Kelsey poked their heads at the same time, glanced at the place Gu Hengsheng pointed out, and then looked at each other. After confirming that it was correct, they both nodded: "Yes, there is no problem."

Chapter 480 Chapter 475 Ursus's characteristic long-distance

After a simple disguise and forged some key documents, the three of Gu Hengsheng set off immediately.Fortunately, even though the northern snow field is sparsely populated, considering that there are massive mineral resources hidden underground, there is enough public transportation here even to ensure transportation and the control of the nobles.

It's just that it's the severe winter season, and almost no one will use them.Even if someone wanted to use it, they would have to wait a long time, even through bribery.

There is no way, the public units responsible for operating these vehicles will ask the Ministry of Finance for a large amount of subsidies every winter, and at the same time lock up the cars, and will not let the drivers start at all.Because according to the massive data statistics and precise calculations conducted by the experts they hired, they found that each trip saved could save them about a thousand bleu after being rounded up.

So they did, and the money went unquestioned into their own pockets.As for the needs of the civilians and businessmen here, firstly, the demand for travel in winter is low, and secondly, there are many reasons to prevaricate in winter, such as the driver is frostbitten/drunk/accidentally died/ill, etc. No one will complain.

As for those who really have urgent needs, if he has money, then he will naturally come to bribe the officials;

This is the current situation of the snowfield in the north of Usas, and it is also the first difficulty that Gu Hengsheng and the others have to face when they want to go to their destination - it is impossible for him to continue driving, and a private car cannot afford such a long-distance travel.

"I really didn't expect such a mess to happen. Even Kasimir is in such a chaotic time, at least the public transportation has not been cut off."

At the long-distance station in the nearest moving city, looking at the long-distance buses that were even covered in a layer of dust, Gu Hengsheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The impression of the country of Ursas is really terrible. "

"Ursus has always been like this, and its emperor is powerless to change its status quo." Kelsey didn't seem to be surprised, she explained calmly, "But it's not completely impossible, we can contact the local officials, Show some sincerity, and we can basically start the car.”

"Even if possible, Boss Gu, you can buy one directly and hire a driver..."

Gu Hengsheng turned his head and glanced at her lightly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

What a joke, how expensive a long-distance car is, even if he has money, he can't waste it like this.

"I didn't mean that." Kelsey looked indifferent, unmoved.

Teresia smiled dryly, then hurriedly stood up and stood between the two of them, acting as a buffer zone for their conflicts, and quickly smoothed things over: "Kelxi didn't mean that, Mr. Gu, don't worry too much about it." .Indeed, buying a long-distance car in this kind of place is too high-profile, this idea is inappropriate, I will tell her, don’t take it seriously.”

Gu Hengsheng didn't bother with her too much. He touched his chin, thought about it, and suddenly said: "If we want to buy one, why don't we just buy a flying machine? It will definitely be faster to rush there..."

Teresia was sweating profusely. Is this the life of the rich?It seems that he didn't think about low-key or low-key things at all, and he was all about "convenience", and even wanted to spend money to buy a plane...

"Usas has only one airport, and it's only responsible for transportation with Victoria." Kelsey said, "There must be none here."

"Okay." Gu Hengsheng shrugged slightly, "Then I can only bribe you."

Teresia stood aside, feeling that she had no ideas and no money, like a superfluous person, and she couldn't help but feel sad for a while.

Gu Hengsheng went to try it, and he brought the spirits that the Ursas people especially like.However, in the end, the total cost of bribery and car rental was much higher than the total cost of his smuggled entry, which made people feel that fate is unpredictable.

This has to make people sigh, no wonder it is so easy to sneak in. As far as the internal environment of Ursus is concerned, even if the borders are opened to allow people from other countries to enter, they may not come.

No matter what, Gu Hengsheng and his party got a car and two rotating drivers, and they officially embarked on the road to Duke Romanov's territory.

Although it looks very far away on the map, after all, this car is dedicated to serving them this time, so there is no need to take the original winding route.In addition to the necessary supplies, they don't need to slow down and stop at each station, then get on and off the car, and then re-accelerate to waste time.They went straight all the way, and after walking for about two days, they finally entered the territory of Duke Romanov.

At first glance, nothing has changed.The place that should be desolate is still desolate, and the place that should be prosperous... still presents a desolate situation.Obviously, the Grand Duke's governance ability is not much better than other Ursus nobles, and there is even some more laissez-faire taste in it.

Tsk, it seems that Duke Romanov is either a wise lord who is proficient in the Taoist school of Yan and governs by doing nothing, or he is an advanced and enlightened liberal. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Thinking so optimistically, he asked the driver to slow down.After all, after driving so fast for two consecutive days, everyone's body can't stand it, so they need to slow down and rest.
