Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

But even the Hillshire Infantry Regiment under Hamilton's command must follow a rule, that is, people have to eat, swords will wear out, and bows and crossbows will be consumed.

In short, as long as one lives in this world, one needs things like money, and things like stealing Originium artifacts cannot be done often, as the risk is too great.

In other words, the Xiaoqiu County Infantry Regiment is still inseparable from the support of local businesses and nobles in Xiaoqiu County, or it needs to collect taxes from them.

Therefore, he has concerns. If he does something to these Victorian ruling classes without evidence, even he will not be able to please.

Once the lawsuit goes to Londinium, he will not be able to return to Xiaoqiu County for a long time. As for silence?

The reason for not killing the Stormtroopers is exactly the same. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. No matter how arrogant Hamilton is, he will not think that Xiaoqiu County is under his control.

Apart from other things, the ghost army alone made him burnt out. They are the biggest windows on this wall, and they definitely don't mind using this to get Hamilton down.

The irony is.

Most of the local factory owners and nobles in Xiaoqiu County are also from Tara.

The Hill County Infantry Regiment, which has been committed to intensifying the conflict between the Tara people and the Victorians, needs taxes from Tara factory owners and nobles to maintain normal operations.

And the local nobles and factory owners and nobles are also supporters of the ghost army. They claim to make the Tara independent and have a cultural revival.

Moreover, the taxes paid by these people and the donations to support the ghost army all come from squeezing other Tara people.

The Tara people only paid one-third of Victoria's wages, and such scenes also appeared in the factories of the Tara factory owners.

The entire Xiaoqiu County now is almost a large-scale magical reality, and words cannot describe the eventuality.

But no matter what, Colonel Hamilton has no way to easily move the factory owners and nobles in Hill County unless he really has sufficient and absolute evidence.

In that case, it would be equivalent to someone joining the rebel army in Xiaoqiu County, and the city would also enter a state of wartime control. At that time, the power was in my hands, and Hamilton would be able to legally and reasonably take over the property of these factory owners and nobles. Let him become a real "city lord" or a "warlord" in the true sense.

Although it is inconvenient for him to do it himself, someone will do it for him now.

"I thought the Scamanders would be bad, but now it seems they are a sharp knife."

"Colonel, what do you need me to do?"

Adjutant Hill stood aside respectfully, without any arrogance in front of others. He may be a villain, but he can distinguish many things.

For example, where do your rights come from?

"As before, keep an eye on them and don't let them find out."

"Yes, Colonel."

From the moment the storm commandos entered Xiaoqiu County, they fell into the surveillance of the Xiaoqiu County Infantry Regiment.

Although in terms of intelligence operations, the Xiaoqiu County Infantry Regiment is not an opponent of the Storm Commandos at all, and is in a state of complete suppression.

But this does not mean that the intelligence system of the Xiaoqiu County Infantry Regiment is a complete waste. At least so far, the Stormtroopers have not found that they are being watched.

"Get your hands ready, and if they find something, we won't be unprepared and take this opportunity."

"Well, what if they don't find anything?"

"We were just doing a routine military training."

"I understand."

In order to gain favor in front of the boss, it is also very important to hide one's clumsiness and pretend to be stupid, and Adjutant Hill knows this truth well.

After bowing, he slowly withdrew from the headquarters, ready to complete the task assigned by Hamilton.

Stormtroopers, the elite of Victoria's army, since they were called commandos, they naturally carried a rush of energy.

It was this strength that made them the targets of various forces in Xiaoqiu County. They all wanted them to act as sparks and detonate the explosive keg of Xiaoqiu County.

Being used as a knife by so many forces, I don't know how the horn will feel if it knows all this one day.

But now they don't think so much, they have the pride and sense of mission of the Victorian army.

For this country, they are willing to give up everything, even their own glory.

The horn had just returned to the station of the storm commando, and the bagpipes immediately came up. Although the cello and oboe were not so direct, their eyes still looked in the direction of their captain.

They were all concerned about whether Bugle could gain anything this time, especially since their team leader had always been indifferent to emotions, and basically couldn't tell anything just by looking at it.

"Captain, have they agreed?"

When the bagpipe asked this sentence, the others raised their hearts to their throats, expecting the horn to give some good news, but...

"He didn't agree, and we have to give evidence before we can take action."

"This damned empire moth!"

The cello couldn't help cursing, and the two loyal factions loyal to the Victorian Empire, the Stormtroopers and the Hillshire Infantry, could see the same source of cursing.

"Should we investigate alone, I found a way to sneak into the Tilles Hotel, from their back kitchen."

Bagpipe was not idle for a moment, and was still investigating in her own way when negotiating with Hamilton before the horn, and she really found a way.

The back kitchen of the hotel will regularly deliver various supplies, whether it is fresh ingredients or some kitchen waste.

She still learned about this road from a scavenger. In Xiaoqiu County, scavengers will look for edible parts from the kitchen waste. The manager of the back kitchen is not bad, and he will not stop those Scavengers.

But after all, it is the most luxurious hotel in Xiaoqiu County, even if it is discarded garbage, it is actually richer than many ordinary people with poor families, but most people can't bear to pick it up.

But the horn is not going to use the bagpipe method, she has her own plan.

"I'll go straight in."

"But we don't have a search warrant and authorization. Entering like this is not only a violation of the regulations, but also a warning to others."

The oboe exhorted, he thought that the horn was eager to prove himself, and it was too easy to make mistakes.

"It's not us, it's me."

Chapter 1674 Double Line Breakthrough

Horn Rita Scamanders has changed a lot of her habits since entering the military academy and becoming what she considers a very honorable Victorian soldier.

While saying goodbye to the delicate diet, I also said goodbye to my soft bed that was big enough to roll on, and got used to sleeping in the open air and the hard wooden bed in the military camp.

When was the last time you lived in a hotel like this?

Bugle took off her military uniform this time, and came to her target Tiles Hotel in regular clothes. She was going to stay in it in the name of being unaccustomed to the military camp, looking for what she wanted.

It stands to reason that she would be more suitable for this kind of place if she was wearing aristocratic clothing, but that kind of light and fluffy clothing that can't be used for fighting can no longer be tolerated by her. Such ordinary dresses are already her psychological limit.

"Lord Bolton."

Gently read the name of the owner of the hotel silently. The presence of this baron in Xiaoqiu County is not low. It can be said that he is the leader of the aristocratic forces in Xiaoqiu County.

As for saying that he himself is just a baron without a fief?This is not a problem, after all, other nobles in Xiaoqiu County may not be able to get on the stage.

Besides, the strength and title of a nobleman are not necessarily absolutely related. At least in Londinium, the power of many court nobles who are just waiting to die is not as powerful as this baron, even if the titles of those court nobles are generally not low .

The reason why Bugle is unwilling to become a court nobleman is that in her opinion, those things are a bunch of useless vases. Although they are beautiful, they are extremely fragile, and life and death are not up to her.

How is it different from the clowns on the stage who please the audience? Besides, there are quite a few court nobles who are willing to be dubbed the title of "court clown" for various reasons, just for the insignificant money and status.

People outside Londinium envy the court nobles, but why don't the court nobles envy those powerful nobles?

This is like a besieged city, those inside the city want to go out, and those outside the city want to come in.

In contrast, although Baron Bolton has no fiefdom, he owns a lot of property in Xiaoqiu County, which can also make him respected by most people in Xiaoqiu County. The banquets often held in his mansion are one of the evidences.

Popularity and money, as long as there is no one of them, the banquet cannot be held, and Baron Burton himself has a solid friendship with the poet Williams, and he can invite him to his own banquet.

The Horn had never heard of the poet Williams in the past, but he could hear his name almost every day after he came to Knoll County. His collection of poems written in Tara was also called by Hamilton as the root of the troubles in the Tara area. one.

Now the poet is also living here. If it is not for the protection of Baron Bolton, Hamilton will definitely not let the poet go.

Although in the view of the horn, a poet is not so capable at all, and there may be other reasons that really make the people of Tara dissatisfied with the empire's rule, but the horn did not think deeply about it. In her opinion, the stability of the empire is the most important.

"Captain, my side is also ready. A batch of fresh ingredients will be delivered to the back kitchen at 9:[-] am, and I'm going to go in from there."

"no problem?"

"Don't worry, those ingredients are only transported by one person, and I can easily replace him." Bagpipe is full of confidence in this aspect, "If I am found, I can also run away."

"Be careful."

The horn moved in from the bright side, and the bagpipes sneaked in from the dark, one light and one dark cooperated with each other. This is the plan used by the storm commando this time.

Counting the time, when the horn stepped into the lobby of the Tiles Hotel, the bagpipe also saw the alley that pushed a cart of ingredients into the back kitchen of the hotel.

The person who transported this batch of goods was an ordinary young man from Tara. It seemed that he was already familiar with his work. In his opinion, he could not be the target of robbers. After all, who would rob a batch of ingredients?

These things take up space and cannot be sold at a price. Recently, there has been no news of a famine in Victoria.

"Well!"

The sudden attack made him lose consciousness immediately, and he fell limp and collapsed. On the way, he was caught by another hand so that he would not fall to the ground and make a sound, and then he was handed over to the waiting cello To avoid bad things after he wakes up.

She had already obtained the uniforms of the transport personnel in advance, otherwise she would take off the clothes on the spot, not to mention the time issue, and it would be very troublesome if they fit well, and her preparations were more than that, she had already done everything for this infiltration preparation.

Then the bagpipes unknowingly replaced the delivery person and rang the back kitchen of the hotel.

"Today is also very punctual."

The person in charge of the back kitchen is a somewhat fat chef, but this is not puffiness. Bagpipe can see well-developed muscles and calluses from long-term use of kitchen utensils on his arms.

He didn't express any opinion on the difference in the delivery personnel this time, anyway, in his opinion, it was a trivial matter.

"Still put it in the old place. Someone told you when you came here. I don't want to repeat useless words."

"Go and do your work, I know all about it."

Hurry up to send the busy cook away, Bagpipe transported the cart of goods to the shelf next to the cold storage as if she had been here many times, this not long line has long been remembered by her after the investigation middle.

She will have nothing to do next, and there is no need to take the trolley away. Those sorters will just use the trolley and start sorting the ingredients into different grids, so that the chef can pick it up and use it at will. As for this After pushing the cart, someone else will naturally take care of the work.

And when the person in charge came over again to see if Bagpipe had completed her task, she had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's really fast enough."

After murmuring lightly, the person in charge no longer took this matter to heart.

But how could Bagpipe just leave so honestly?She just took advantage of this window to slip away to other places.

After all, the back kitchen is a very busy place, and it is too easy to be noticed if you run around in it. Bagpipe must seize this time.

After confirming that there was no one around, Bagpipe stepped on the debris and jumped into the ventilation duct. She was going to use this road to go to another area.

When the bagpipes had successfully sneaked in, the horn also walked to the front desk and began to chat with the waiter here, delaying time and waiting for the news of the bagpipes.
