Steel Steam and Flame

"There are still stocks of raw materials, which can help us earn a large amount of available funds. But the further we go, the more we are rooted in small countries, we have to accept rising prices. Now the atmosphere of war is strong, and we can't see it recently. , but from the few trade routes we have that connect the empire, we can know that not only the empire, but the three giant countries have become more and more strict in their border control."

"None of the officials at the border are fools, and they all have different backgrounds. The amount of 'gifts' in the past is no longer valid, and it has tripled in just two or three months. ."

Delia, who said this, was helpless and felt very powerless. Relying on the major forces of the empire behind them, they are not qualified to discuss the amount of "gifts" at all. She could have long-term cooperation to reduce the amount, but without identity and status, that is, without a guarantor, she has no chance to meet these managers if she wants to risk it.

"The worse environment is still to come. It is the information that others told me that these routes seem to be forced to close one by one. If the three giant countries really open up, these routes will be cut off. At that time, only There are some hidden smuggling routes left. But this kind of route,,,” Waters, who is more familiar with this, continued, and the problem of raw materials in the factory has always been the object of his main concern, “It depends on luck, maybe there are special The team goes to pay. It may be fine for a few months, or it may cause many workshops to collapse in one trip.”

"The head of the regiment should know that this kind of thing will happen in the future, so looking at it now, even if the price rises and a large amount of supplies is hoarded, it can be fully recovered later. Don't forget, when the head of the regiment comes back, you can start working with the small country again. Cooperation between nations, just like the kingdom of Chil before.

The head of the group's letter made it clear that the value of money would continue to decline over time. Fixed, visible resources are the most important. In addition, if it is just an arms dealer, not the head of the regiment, nor our original intention, the limitations are very large. Like the steel security company, it may be our main direction in the future.

I feel that many times the head of the regiment asks us to run the arms business, which is also a helpless act. Because only then can we have something to do. Of course, we all want to share some of the pressure on the head of the group, even a little bit. We all have this feeling. "

When Waters finished speaking, he also drank the black tea from the cup: "The price within the empire is much cheaper, but we can't take the risk."

"I'll think about it again." Delia didn't give an answer immediately. This is not something that can be decided simply after listening to a few words.

"For now, it's better to maintain the current state. Many things will be easy when the head of the regiment comes back, but when we do it ourselves, we have to be careful." She was not going to continue discussing this issue, and given a few more days, it probably wouldn't happen. result. Then she looked at Hesley, "You have a part of the funds left, and you can speed up the affairs of the Steel Security Company. As for the resource issue, we may be able to find the answer at the Steel Security Company later."

Hesley nodded, "My thoughts are roughly the same as yours. In the small countries, the proportion of money and power is much larger than that of the empire, but it is power that occupies a little more."

At the end of a night's workout, Sicily felt more hungry than ever, and it's no exaggeration to say it was a food craving. The pressure has officially come to her, and it cannot be avoided by any means. Self-suggestion, quiet thinking, and conversations with Monica and Lina, etc., cannot be relieved.

She reminded herself that it was too important to see, but it didn't work. But she can clearly understand the source of the stress. First, the fear of exams, which has been left over from student days, has not been completely eliminated from the body for the time being. The second is sensitivity to danger.

When she felt the breath released by an alliance monster in the training ground, she thought she had completely forgotten. Even if there are residues, not a lot. Exercising all night didn't help her, and the feeling that should have been forgotten seemed to come back.

She had no choice but to think about it. After resting for a while, she chose to put on her makeup and go out to eat on the street. She has eaten more than a dozen restaurants along the way, and her strong digestive system makes her not feel full.

After more than two hours, she returned to the hotel, pulled a chair to the wall, watched Monica and Kerkewa, they flipped back and forth on the map, turned on and off the communication machine, and made sure that every step of the night plan would not work. An error occurred.

"In the past, how did you overcome your fear?" Scia couldn't help but ask Cassia, who was no longer speaking.

"Overcome it?" Cassia asked back, "There is a source, so you should eliminate the source, right? In fact, I don't seem to have encountered many things and people that make me fear, so I can't provide you with the established experience. But the book It is said that deep breathing can relieve many kinds of emotions.”

"It's all a lie, I've already tried it." Sisia replied immediately.

"But the way you are now, I don't think you feel fear, just nervous." Cassia chose to comfort her from another angle, "No. 0 is the examiner this time, instead of thinking about fear, you might as well think about it carefully. What gift to choose as a thank you, to express and take me to thank him."

"Maybe in the future, you can become an ally who doesn't have to worry and doubt, but it's completely feasible for a while. Because you have chosen the path of the surgeon, there will definitely be a lot of things waiting for you in the future. He will be your second help."

Without getting an answer, Sisia let out a long sigh: "Perhaps you're right, I'm just too nervous."

"That's it, don't doubt it. You can take more time to rest, although the minimum standard for the exam is to last an hour, that's all, but for you, the physical exertion in one hour can be completely excluded from the calculation, but The energy consumption is absolutely huge. It is the situation when the elites in the three stages of early perception and cognition are fighting. Most of them are like this. It is absolutely impossible for the brain and thoughts to stop, and every tiny action must be considered. Timing , strength, speed, etc., it will help you a lot.”

"Can't you learn it little by little?"

"No. At least that's how I was. A little negligence and I should have died in a desert and become food for the sand wolves. Or, died in the underground waterway and became the favorite of the rats. Others, especially The enemy will never give you a chance." Cassia sighed after speaking, and talking with Sisia was a rare time for him to take a break from analyzing the energy optical flow network, "Before the action starts, I will keep watching you. Well, sometimes, I'll still give you a hint, so don't worry."

He laughed at this time: "You are my only student, and I will try my best to make you rationalize your graduation."
