Steel Steam and Flame

That afternoon, Delya came back to explain the progress of the factory. It will take another half a month to complete the layout and debugging of the machine and start trial production. Because of the experience he learned from the Webley factory, Delya said there should be no major problems in half a month. During the period, she will also go to the three primary colors group office to deal with steam transmission problems, and sign long-term cooperation agreements with raw material manufacturers to ensure that after the production line is operated, a good cycle can be maintained from the beginning.

It also explains the obstacles that will follow, the most important of which is the three railway lines that transport goods out of the country. The Delyato people asked about the price and calculated it together with the price of weapons sold by Waters. The profit was only about one-fifth of the empire. This is a problem that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Of course, if we take the original route of transportation out of the country, profits will rise a little, but not much. Anyone who has these routes in the empire seems to have a huge appetite.

On other issues, Delya and the others could solve it by themselves, and Cassia did not pay much attention.

"If you want to have the right to use those three railway lines, you must either integrate into the management circle of the Tussini area, or become the invisible controller here." When Delya left, Cassia said to herself as she thought. language. Waters' factory is still in the development stage, and the production volume is barely enough to supply the King of the Kingdom of Chil, and there are also the quantities that have been continuously transported in the surrounding areas of Manoma.

In addition, the profits gained within the Qier Kingdom were not very high. At the beginning, when entering the Qier Kingdom, the successful capture of a part of the arms business market also relied on low prices and higher quality and level than its peers. Using the technology of the Weber Arms Company, the money earned is probably all technical expenses.

Cassia knew that he had to gather a large amount of funds in a short period of time so that the follow-up plans and prospects could be implemented. A small airship can reach a price of one to two billion holy coins, and it is still commercial. In the future, if you want to deter others in terms of firepower, the cost of purchasing a commercial airship and its transformation must be earned in a short time. The time given to myself is two years, and I can have an attack formation composed of small and medium-sized airships, and the staffing and training must keep up.

When I left the temporary residence and started to deal with the obstacles, it was a week after Cassia took office. Cassia rushed to the building of the imperial administration on time on Monday morning. The front desk was still a woman who was not awake. After asking and learning that there was nothing in the last week, Cassia drove a limousine around the city center of Tussini according to the map and noted the specific terrain before returning to his temporary residence. He changed his attire and became a very ordinary middle-aged man. Then holding a backpack, in the shape of an unemployed person, went to the vicinity of Novi's residence and began to explore.

This kind of work lasted for a week. After Cassia figured out Novus’ habits, Cooper’s daily life was basically mastered. On Sunday afternoon, Cassia went to the villa base to take away basic weapons, and was there waiting for the night to come.

Leaving there was at ten o'clock in the evening, and after spending half an hour, Cassia came to the vicinity of where Cooper lived. The residence is a very ordinary villa, a type of residence for the wealthier among ordinary people. Confirming that there was no one inside, Cassia sneaked in, left a note, put it on the table in the living room, turned and left, and went to the road that Cooper would inevitably go through every night when he returned from Novus.

An alley, below the ground is a small gathering point for sewers. Cooper would often deal with traces here, such as dead bodies. This kind of situation is rare, Cassia only encountered it once after observing for a week.

Randomly found a place to stand, Cassia was invisible in the dark. Ten minutes later, the sound of footsteps appeared from the entrance of the alley, and stopped halfway, accompanied by the sound of lifting the manhole cover. In the sound waves, Cooper carried two bags alone and went down into the underground waterway.

Cassia walked silently to the entrance of the waterway and stood by and waited.

The waterway was not spacious, and the two sides were filled with the same bag remains as Cooper's hands, full of traces of being eaten by rats. He was already very familiar with this place, and Cooper finally found a place to put the bag down, took out the microbial reagent, crushed it, and poured it on the bag to speed up the decay of the corpses.

It seems to be Cooper's habit. Every time he handles these corpses, he will always be in a trance for a short time, standing still on the spot. It seems that the person in the bag will become like himself if he does not know on which day. The same is true today. When Cooper woke up from a trance, he tapped his watch to check the time, and walked towards the exit step by step.

With a mechanical action, Cooper got on the ground, bent down and covered the manhole cover, sighed while patting his clothes. In the darkness beside him, almost at the same time, there was a sigh that was neither light nor heavy.

Cooper shook his whole body. Even though he heard the sound clearly, there was still nothing there. The body took a few steps back before thinking, and when he drew the pistol, Cooper discovered that a shadow gradually appeared in the darkness.

In the last step, thinking suppressed Cooper's urge to shoot. If the other party wanted to do it, the idea he had just now might have already become a reality, something in the bag. He stood still, took a breath and asked, "Who?"

"Mr. Cooper." With a sharp and hoarse voice, Cooper squinted his eyes, trying to see the other side's face, but I don't know if it is due to the weak light angle. The other side's whole person is like a piece under the scorching sun, from the ground The cut shadows are all pitch black.

"You probably admitted the wrong person. My name is Saratis. I don't know who Cooper is." He said with a relaxed look, as if he was not the target of the other party and felt lucky.

"As for whether you are Cooper or not, it doesn't matter. I just want to talk to you, it has nothing to do with your name." Cassia naturally continued, "I don't know Mr. Saratis, have you left Nuo Wiss’ thoughts. To be honest, with your strength, you can find more powerful forces to rely on..."

"What do you mean, I don't know Novus, sir, you really found the wrong person." Cooper interrupted Cassia.

Ignoring the meaning, Cassia took his own words: "What you can get from Novus, other places, others may not be able to give you. And with regard to your wife’s illness, it is not only Novus who can help you. ."

"What do you want to say?" Cooper changed his tone, and his relaxed fingers pressed the trigger again.

"Mr. Cooper, please don't get excited." Cassia's words remained calm. "I said just now. I just want to talk to you tonight. What you need now is a large sum of money. You are under Novus. Do things, I don’t know how much money he gives you a year? It should not be much, it has been a few years, but you still haven’t got it together. I want doctors in the dark world to treat patients who are almost terminally ill, and the cost is definitely more than surgery There are many more people. After all, the details and steps are different."

"If there is such a condition, someone can copy the treatment given to you by Novus, and promise to pay for your wife’s treatment costs and all subsequent surgery costs within half a year. The answer to the question just now is no Know what it will be?"

"Who are you, as long as you want to investigate this kind of information, anyone can understand it very clearly. Are other people's subordinates? Want to transfer my relationship with Lord Norvis from it?" Cooper was very careful, from him In the words, Cassia did not hear any changes, except for a slight vibration in her body when she promised to pay for the treatment. "Don't spend this time anymore. I have heard this no less than five times, sir."

"In that case, all right." Cassia sighed, with a regretful taste in it, "Someone is willing to give you time to think about it. I think one week is enough. Next week is still this place, this time, I hope you think about it. Later, I can have a clear answer next time. By the way, let me tell you that there is an adult who is interested in your strength and wants you to do something for him. In addition, from your identity, it’s somewhere. The upper class stared at Tussini. Don’t you think that Tussini’s situation can be kept hidden? There will be a purge here, and Novus, Beverly and the others will swallow all of them in the nearest time. Forced to vomit. If they are unlucky, they don’t need to vomit on their own. Naturally, someone will help them open their stomachs."

"In other words, the sooner a certain upper-level person completes the cleaning here, the sooner the promise to you will be fulfilled. Finally, as for who I am, it doesn't matter. I just received the order and followed the mission rules. It’s just a few things in advance. But in the future, maybe we will have the opportunity to get to know each other. It all depends on your decision."

Cassia has been concealed in the dark, retreating silently at the right time, and controlling her voice so that it does not produce a sense of difference with the distance: "Kub, you are lucky, a week later, I hope to see you here again. By the way, it's a reward for not shooting the right choice. Compared to your luck, Zikeman, the butler of Novus, should be the unlucky ghost that people often say."

Watching the shadow in front of him gradually blur, Cooper kept staring, just as if his eyes were suddenly covered with a film of water. When he noticed it, the shadow had already disappeared from the lane. He exhaled, only then did he feel a layer of ice and sweat forming on his back. Putting the gun away, Cooper looked at the entrance of the lane for a few seconds. The perception was also dissipated during this period. After confirming that there was no one, he exhaled and left here a few steps.

Cooper carefully checked the surroundings of his residence before entering the room. The note left on the table was very conspicuous, and it said "Mr. Cooper, please consider it seriously." When the note was rolled into a ball, Cooper looked around the living room and said to himself: "Nothing will be left behind. , If you want to kill me, you have already done it just now.” As he threw the ball of paper into the trash can, Cooper sat at the table, poured a glass of wine and drank it.

"An upper-class figure somewhere?" Kubb murmured, and confusion began to appear in his head, because the man didn't seem to be lying just now, "but even if I lied, I didn't see it. Butler Zickman ,,,"

There was a tearing feeling on Cooper's face, and he was considering whether to tell Novus and the butler of Zickman. After struggling inwardly for a few minutes, he finally sat quietly on the chair without moving his footsteps. Even if the communicator is in the corner of the living room, less than a few meters away. The thinking in his brain made him choose to wait. He seemed to have some expectations for it, or hoped that what the man said just now was true.

There are many things, the man is right. Novus provides him with 15 million holy coins every year, which can be regarded as salary. This is indeed a number that ordinary people would never imagine, but it is not a large number for surgeons. For several years, after deducting the high monthly expenses of his wife in the hospital, he did not accumulate enough money to get a thorough treatment. More importantly, the physicians in the dark world are not interested in the treatment of ordinary people. Time-consuming and laborious work, and the rewards are not equal to the effort.

At the same time, Cassia really left from outside the house at this time.

,,,,,,

Cassia returned to the temporary residence, removed her clothes, and read the information about Madoka while burning the water. In another situation, a mercenary origin, who was entrenched in Tussini at the beginning, was besieged by the defense forces and the Amotan special operations organization team, and everyone around him died. Later he went to jail, and Wagner, the current Deputy Minister of Finance, used his family relationship to get him out. After that, he was next to Wagner, acting as the captain of the private team, and continues to this day.

Cassia believes that what can be used is the feelings between Madoka and the mercenaries who died. If Madoka remembers that he has a friendship in his heart, there is a great chance of success.

Although he was born as a mercenary, Madogao has obviously adapted to his comfortable life now, and he has forgotten a lot of his caution during his time as a mercenary. I really like to spend a day or two in the high-end tavern in Amotan City when I am fine. This time, it took only four days for Cassia to fully understand this very regular life.

It is true that there is a gap with the students of the military school, not in strength, but in self-consciousness and vigilance, and in essence. If you can live in one place from time to time, it should be the most basic common sense to make your daily life irregular in the eyes of others. Even if it's not like this, habitual life should be an illusion that others can see by yourself.

But this way of life Cassia has no way to evaluate. In the afternoon of the fifth day, Cassia was dressed in the same manner as last week. After a round of transit in the city, he came to Madogao's house in the evening and waited in the garage beside him.

Madoka returned to his residence at 9 o'clock in the evening, still smelling of perfume that was not blown away by the wind. The habit of being most mercenaries is well preserved on him.

"Mr. Madoka, I don't know if we can talk." Cassia changed his voice. Madoka noticed someone behind him and immediately drew his pistol. Like Cooper, he didn't shoot.

"What are you talking about?" Madogao turned around and moved carefully a few steps aside. Seeing the shadow in front of him, he didn't respond, and quickly reached out and pressed the switch of the garage light. But the line was dismantled by Cassia long ago.

"I don't know if you have the idea of ​​leaving Wagner? That is to say, relying on other people to get better conditions and benefits, and greater rights."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Madoka's voice was indifferent.

"Tusini's situation has been detected, and some senior figures in the management organization will proceed to clean up next. But because officials such as Clement and Acheson are involved, the action will be more cautious. You may understand that the empire management There are still some factional differences in the organization. It will start with Wagner and others, but the Tussini after cleaning needs to be managed. You can help a lot if you stay here for a few years. Experienced work And trading~www.readwn.com~ Why should I believe you? With these arguments, I can hire a lot of writers to help me write a lot of these words."

"Mr. Madoka, it’s been a few years, don’t you have any doubts about the original encirclement and suppression? According to the process, the special operations force will not allow anyone to survive. Have you never thought about it? Wagner let you through the family Is there anything you don’t know about coming out of prison? For example, he had communicated with the people of the special operations agency a long time ago, leaving you alone and letting you out of prison just to gain your trust And gratitude. Your mercenary team was only aimed at the dark world. It seems that there is no reason to be surrounded and suppressed, right?"

Seeing Madoka did not speak, Cassia stepped back in due course: "I hope you go back and think about it. We will meet again in a week."

After waiting for a few minutes, Madoka saw the shadow leave, checked the inside and outside of the residence, and then went in. He was thinking, sitting in the living room for a full hour before Madoka stood up: “Whoever wants to destroy my current life is my enemy. Other upper-level personnel naturally include Lord Clement and Acheson. Let them deal with it."

As if to suggest and hypnotize himself, Madoka walked around the house a few times, and then checked the surroundings of the house again before he came to the corner of the living room and picked up the communicator.

He adjusted the frequency and waited amidst the electronic noise of "Zizi", but suddenly felt a chill at his feet. After waiting for more than a minute, seeing that no one answered the communication, he immediately hung up, took out his pistol and ran into the room by the side, closing the door.

"This doesn't feel right." He said, and immediately fitted all the weapons and equipment that had been there in the room.
