Steel Steam and Flame

The latest website: Cognition, response, and alternative methods and measures. Because they are on the train, they are all theoretical knowledge. It can also be seen as Isha and Muriel sharing their experiences. The content involved is not wide-ranging. As far as Cassia's own understanding is concerned, Isha has said a lot about the influence of the hard power of the forces in the trading.

As for how to use words and attitudes to resolve the oppression caused by the opponent's strength and seller status, Isha asked Cassia to satisfy the opponent's vanity as much as possible without touching his bottom line. "This is not a transaction on the surface. The rule of customer first will never work in the dark world. The number of buyers is far greater than the number of sellers. Many goods can appear in the dark world because of the regulations of various countries. It’s not easy to explain things clearly. Regardless of the quantity of goods, the channels and difficulty of obtaining them, it is destined from the beginning that the seller’s identity is inherently superior."

Isha's summary of some commodities in the dark world reminded Cassia of the shells and artillery that Waters and the others were producing. The actual situation was no different from what Isha said, and maybe it was a bit deeper.

The four days on the train did not appear to be fast. When the train stopped halfway, the four of them would take advantage of the short time to walk. The air inside was really dull, and compared with the high-speed trains inside the empire, there was a difference of two or three levels in the air circulation system alone.

In the meantime, Isha told Cassia about the emergency mission on the third day. The opponent is not considered a big tribe in the Flame Alliance, at best in the middle and inferior, but after all, in the Flame Alliance, the strength cannot be underestimated. The main industry is the breeding business, but the breeds are all second-class creatures that have been domesticated and transformed. For example, silkworms and spiders with a huge amount of silk also breed crustaceans. Most of the bone structure of the body contains rare metals, which is a main material of high-grade alloys.

In the past, it was for mass production of silkworm cocoons and spider silk to manufacture special bulletproof vests and combat uniforms. The improvement in strength and functionality was tremendous. In addition, it also plays an important role in other areas, but Isha did not elaborate, focusing on explaining the importance of this transaction to Cassia.

"Because I received the news temporarily." This is probably the reason. Isha's face is somewhat unstable. "So we are not the buyers invited by this tribe. The question, let alone whether this transaction can be negotiated in the future."

"But always try. We have other sources for this kind of goods, but the quantity that can be obtained does not meet the gaps in the organization's internal needs." Speaking of these, Isha's face is often sad and distressed. Cassia unknowingly remembered the situation at the laboratory base, where the members regarded their work as a kind of glory, in order to let the "light" project bloom.

This kind of aura in Yisha is even stronger. It is not without reason that the organization can survive in the cracks between giant countries based on small countries. But Cassia thought of his own conjecture-the establishment and existence of the organization had the hands of some giant countries involved. Perhaps when the secret was revealed one day, the truth might make many members of the organization desperate. They wanted to use the lighting plan to give this small country on the cracks a real freedom and development, but in the end result, Cassia did not hold an optimistic idea for some reason. He knew how strong the barriers of the three giant countries were, thought Cassia.

Perhaps in the end, the organization is just an experimental platform secretly manufactured by many hands that is not supervised by their respective countries. Everyone restricts each other and obtains what they need from it.

The train finally stopped in the small country bordering the Flame Alliance, which has been completely assimilated by the Flame Alliance, and there is a small country name. After getting off the train and going to another city, Isha asked Cassia and Toynby to stay in a hotel, and she and Muriel left immediately.

"To deal with the communication, I will be back tomorrow afternoon." Toynby dragged the luggage of the three of them and said to Cassia before entering his room. "Take a good rest this day, and there will probably be uninterrupted long distances thereafter. There are many forces who have received the news, and I don’t know if it was deliberate or the information leaked. But be careful. Except for the necessary trade areas, the borders of the Flame Alliance are mostly dense forests. There are many situations where there are many situations. If it happens, some radical people may provoke unnecessary disputes."

Cassia responded with a basic understanding. After going to his room, he immediately took out the communication machine and contacted Adolf. Originally thought that Adolf and the others should know, but Cassia very doubted that Isha received the news not recently, but on the night he arrived at Larsa.

Adolf’s initial astonishment confirmed his guess. He heard that it was a team task. Adolf didn’t have too many thoughts, except to make Cassia be more careful.

Putting away the communicator, Cassia lay on the bed to filter the information obtained on the train, thinking about whether he was suddenly assigned to Larsa and whether there were other intentions of the two people behind Adolf and Trevikang. But just to think about it, Cassia knows that he can't get results that he can believe without insufficient information. So I turned to thinking about the convenience of this job-because I would contact many sellers-whether it could help Waters and the others. But the circles of the two are different. They only do business in weapons and ammunition, and are more inclined to the empire. And just the distance from Larsa is enough to make many ideas impossible.

"I can only look for my own needs. Dragon blood probably cannot be contacted. Yisha and others are just a small entrance to the organization's internal needs. This important raw material should be purchased by specialized personnel. I can only target it here. Concentrated blood positioned in the second category of organisms."

I didn't do anything all night, and the energetic spirit made Cassia no need to rest, and only read a few books in the room. The next morning Toynby came and knocked on the door at around nine o'clock, and went to look around with Cassia, intending to collect information on various hotels and hotels. When other buyers arrived here, most of them took the last few long-distance trains, and their temporary footholds were in nearby areas.

In the middle of the journey, Isha heard the news that a small half of the team had gone to the border of the Flame Alliance, but they were all carrying out other cargo transportation and protection tasks, and the team assisting this operation was still on the way.

After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I chatted with Toynby for a long time. Out of taking care of the newcomers, Toynby told Cassia a lot about the situation when performing tasks in the Flame Alliance. “The Flame Alliance has established several centers in the regular trade area. It is like a city with very complete facilities. However, most of the exported goods are civilian products, and there are very few things that involve our circle. In fact, some of the goods we need can be sold in these concentrated areas, such as this one Silkworm cocoons and spider silk are goods within the regulations in the Flame Alliance and are designated as secondary control items."

"The first level of control is the highest level. It not only needs to report all information to the centralized managers, but also must register with the buyer. The second level control is not so strict, but it still needs to be recorded in a centralized manner, and every transaction, Buyers and sellers have to pay a range of import and export taxes to the centralized place. We are okay, but only 30% of the purchased goods. The sellers have to add a controlled commodity tax, which adds up to about About 55 percent of the selling price of the goods. When calculated, it means that after a batch of goods are sold smoothly, only 45 percent of them can be sold to oneself. After all costs are removed, the profit can be imagined. Got it. This is true for both the Flame Alliance and the Far Sea Common Country, so many sellers have to set up their own private strongholds in various frontier locations, bypassing the concentrated sales of goods."

"But the territories of the giant countries are too vast, and the borders are very long and long, and can only be inspected and protected by means of setting up points and patrols. It is impossible to take care of every location all the time. The border of the Flame Alliance is not Most of the dense forests are mined, and it is easy for these sellers to find a suitable location.” When he said this, Toynby looked at Cassia, “But you probably guessed it. Trade on the border, except for some of the same needs. Buyers, where else does the danger come from?"

"Inspection team." Cassia answered a very simple question. "There should be an inspection route map and timetable."

"There are indeed such things, the inspection route, the inspection time, when and where to pass. It is a standard map-like thing, but the forces that can get it in hand ~ www.readwn.com ~ one in Larsa None. It may be possible in the Flame Alliance, but its own energy must be strong enough." Toynbee was thinking about something, "But this has only happened in the last two years. It used to be in Lalsa’s power China. A small part of them can rely on their own channels to obtain inspection drawings. However, since two years ago, these channels have all failed. When they did not expire, the inspection team also set up traps and killed many people. So far, the inspection road map and timetable are only It exists in history."

"It should have brought some danger to the Flame Alliance. At that time, we had doubts, but we did not find useful information under investigation. After that, tasks that were roughly the same as this time became dangerous, and the sellers also resisted. Huge pressure, and then converted these pressures into high prices of goods. But still found a way to cope with the inspection, but it depends on personal luck, some inspectors will release people after receiving the money, some are not so easy to talk . In short, it is not a good thing to meet the inspection team, just remember this.” Thinking of Toynbee before, there is a feeling of emotion.

After saying this, the two returned to their respective rooms to rest, and Isha and Muriel returned to the hotel at about ten in the evening. With a tired face, Isha said, "Be prepared to leave at noon tomorrow," and went straight to a room to rest. Muriel later explained that they had received news that the inspection team had walked through the nearby frontier the day before during their trip. In addition, they also obtained a detailed map of the location of the seller's stronghold in a highly reliable place.
