The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　　　 There are two railways from Kaga in Yosh County to Miltanos, the capital of the Haute Federation. Both railways are not state-owned railways, but private railways belonging to the Pilo Railway Group.

Although Josh County is close to the federal capital county, the topography of the two counties is as high as one kilometer, and the undulating mountains are between the two. This has led to the People come and go, either by detouring long distances to the provinces of other topographical plains, or relying on transportation such as workhorses to take the winding mountain roads.

Later, after the emergence of the steam train, the federal government also thought about building a railway to connect the two places, but after repeated discussions, it felt that the manpower and material resources required were too great, so the railway construction plan was not implemented. The relevant documents of the plan were not implemented. It was sealed up and collected in the archives room.

Until more than fifty years ago, an archives clerk named Randy accidentally saw this archive document. After his analysis, he found that with the changes of the times and the improvement of technology, materials, and capabilities, this link between the two places The final construction cost of the railway will be much less than the estimated cost in the archives. If all goes well, only a quarter of the estimated cost will be needed to build the railway.

So the clerk reorganized the plan in the file, and then took the plan he had compiled to find his boss, hoping to resubmit the plan through the hands of his boss. In this case, he too Able to leave the archives with no future through this plan.

　　 However, the clerk’s boss was content with the status quo. Not only did he refuse the clerk’s request, he also mocked the clerk for his whimsical thinking.

The clerk was annoyed and seriously considered the government’s lengthy review system. He felt that the plan could finally be passed, and it would probably be more than ten years later. So he decided to give up taking the government route and look for a private railway company to implement it. This plan.

At that time, the Pilo Railway Group was not the largest private railway company in the Otter Federation. It was just a powerful company. The clerk chose this company because one of his classmates worked for the Pillow Railway Company. The secretary of a certain director, and through his classmates, he arranged a dinner meeting with the director who has influence on the decision-making level of Pilo Company.

　　 It turned out that everything went smoothly. After reading his plan, the director immediately decided to support his plan and took the copy of the plan away, saying that the plan would be brought out for discussion at the board of directors the next day.

The clerk didn’t know whether it was because he was too happy to drink too much at dinner, or because of other unknown reasons, when he went home that night, he accidentally stumbled and fell into the Ponte waterway that runs through the capital, and was washed out of the capital by running water. In the swamp, the body was not found by several anglers until a few months later.

Although the clerk died, his railway construction plan was not buried. It was approved by the Pilo Group two days later, and the director became the director of the entire railway plan because of this plan, and was then executed. The position of director can be regarded as entering the core layer of the Pilo Group.

　　 Two years later, the railway from Miltanos, the federal capital, to Kaga, Josh County, was successfully completed. After that, this railway became one of the most important railway lines in the Haute Federation.

Because of the successful completion of this railway, Pilo has won the favor of the Federal Transport Agency, and has received a lot of policy support. It has also received some tilt in the bidding of the railway construction plan. Finally, more than 20 years ago , Became the largest railway company in the Haute Federation.

　　 On the contrary, the dead little clerk was forgotten for a long time. It was not until someone found the original railway construction plan that the little clerk had left in the archives in the National Archives a few years ago, and this history was revealed.

　　Because of this incident, many people suspect that the clerk fell into the water not because he was drunk, but was deliberately pushed down. The person who pushed him is probably the director of the Piro Group who is the beneficiary of the final plan.

However, even if there is such suspicion, it will not shake the current position of Pilo Company, but it still hurts the image of Pilo Company. For this reason, Pilo Company specially built this railway along with the capital and Josh County at both ends of the railway. A statue of a clerk was created, and the railway was named after the clerk, and it was called the Randy Railway to commemorate the clerk.

The reason why Pilo Company knows that the rumors and rumors will not cause any actual losses to the company still chooses to remedy this matter is entirely because the Landy Railway is the golden sign of Pilo Company and cannot be tolerated on the signboard. The slightest stain.

　　 Since the emergence of steam trains, traveling by train has become a fashion for the wealthy. Both state-owned and private railway companies will add several luxurious and comfortable traveling carriages to each train.

The rich people who are keen on train travel like to discuss which railway line has the most beautiful scenery, and even created a related magazine for this. No matter how much they like the scenery of which railway line, once they are selected The railway line with the most beautiful scenery, then perhaps seven or eight out of ten will choose the Randy Railway. Therefore, the Randy Railway is called the railway line that the Federals must take once in their lives.

Because of the problem of poor terrain, the Landy Railway Line was built entirely along the mountainous terrain. The line was winding and winding. In some places, it even had to go up to the top of the mountain. Snowy mountains, forests, grasslands, basins, lakes, swamps, etc. seemed to be here. One line can be seen, and the rapid change of each scenery makes people feel like watching every scene in a theater. The first moment is still a high mountain, the next moment after bypassing a very curved hill, I found that the surrounding scenery turned into a grassland. I was clearly walking through a basin just now, and I climbed over a mountain top in the next moment. What I saw was the snow-capped mountains.

　　 In short, when you take this route, you can’t relax a little bit. As long as you close your eyes for a while, there may be a beautiful scenery gliding past your eyes.

Pilo’s annual revenue from the Landy line is one-fifth of the group’s overall revenue. The revenue here includes both ticket revenue, freight revenue, and commodity revenue from stations along the line. All in all, the Landi line is Pilo’s company. The most important railway line.

However, now Piro or all private railway companies have encountered a painful problem. According to the latest wartime decree of the Haute Federation, both state-owned and private railways will be used during the war. They were requisitioned and used for the dispatch of materials and soldiers, and all civilian use was stopped.

Although the government will pay for this kind of expropriation, the cost is nothing compared to the income. More importantly, special railways such as the Landy Railway, which were built for tourists or two places from the beginning. People are mainly exchanged, and cargo transportation is only a small part.

Now that the federal government requisitioned, the main transportation of the entire line is a train of extremely load-bearing cargo trains, which will undoubtedly accelerate the loss of railroad tracks. Piro even suspects that when the war is over, the federal government will return the railroad to them. At that time, there were still a few rails on this line that were intact.

　　 But even if they are dissatisfied, they have nothing to do. Even if they use their relationship between the federal government and Congress, it is of no use. Obviously, everything in the current federation is dominated by war, and everything else must be sidelined.

　　 Bob is the train dispatcher of Piro Company. When the railway was requisitioned, he was also requisitioned by the federal government to be responsible for the train dispatching of the Randy Line.

Although he was not in charge of this line before, this kind of dispatching work is similar. He quickly got started. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the load capacity of each train cannot exceed the bearing limit, otherwise it will not crush the rails. It’s a question of whether you can climb those mountains.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a competent dispatcher, but he knows in his heart that he has another identity. He is a very pious believer in the Lord of Source, and he is not a native of the Otter Federation. In the first fifteen years of his life, he grew up in the Papal State of Nass, and later he came to the Otto Federation to replace another Otto Federation person named Bob, where he worked, married, and had children until the beginning. It took time that a dark mark engraved in his blood appeared, which made him remember his true identity again.

　　 He didn't struggle back and forth between the two identities, he was more concerned about the positive and negative effects this incident would bring to him, and he didn't want his current stable life to be disrupted.

Obviously his superiors also knew that he could not do much in his current position, so he only asked him to do something within his capacity, such as copying a copy of the cargo list of each material train, and did not force him to do it. Those dangerous things.

It was only in the last few days that he received another task. This task is not very difficult. It is to ask him to pay attention to the special train and to see if there is a foreign couple among those who have reached the special train. For this reason, he even got one. Makes extremely exquisite portraits. In the portraits, the man looks a bit ordinary, but his body seems very strong, but the woman is very eye-catching. He thinks that is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. It will be deep after just one glance. The deep imprint is engraved in the mind.

　　 What made Bob a little unexpected was that he had only received this task two days after the couple mentioned in the task appeared in front of him.

On this day, as usual, he began to arrange train schedules and check the list of goods to be transported. But just as he and his colleagues were about to count the last train goods, the station supervisor found his colleagues and took out a new copy. The list of goods on this list is obviously much less and must be reloaded.

This extra workload naturally aroused everyone’s disgust. When questioning the reason, the station supervisor only mentioned the order on the matter. It would be bad luck to ask too many questions. Then everyone stopped asking and started following the list. Reload the goods into the truck.

　　 They have been very clear during this time what should be asked and what should not be asked. Sometimes knowing too much can lead to disasters. After all, more than one person has gone to prison for knowing something that should not be known.

Even so, people like Bob who can access the freight list and arrange train schedules can know what is going on from some small details. In his memory, only people with very special identities who need to use special trains will appear. This situation.

　　 Therefore, in the rest of the time, he was paying attention to the situation at the end of the train, and only when he saw a special train hung on the hook at the end did he confirm that his guess was correct.

At this time, the couple mentioned in the mission appeared. He recognized the noble lady at a glance, but he did not dare to come forward because there were many bodyguards who seemed to have special identities around the couple. There is no doubt that if he leans on, the bodyguards will take out their weapons and execute him on the spot.

After discovering the mission objective, Bob didn’t stop at the station anymore. He found an excuse, took time off, and left the station. Then he went to the market near the station alone and bought it at a fruit and vegetable stall set up by a local farmer. I bought some fruits and vegetables, but when I paid the money, a piece of paper was folded under the money.

I don’t know if the extra task was successfully completed, which made him relax a lot, or for other reasons. When he left the market and walked to his home, he didn’t realize that a new building was being installed on the top of a building he passed by. When he walked over from below, the rope hanging the window above suddenly broke, and the large brass window directly fell down, smashing him who was walking below into meat sauce in an instant. , Appalling.

At the same time, the piece of paper that Bob submitted was the first to be sent to the nearby Teda Empire spy’s secret lair. After that, more than a dozen people left the lair, each riding on their own horses, and leaving the card. Gah, rushed towards the deep mountains in the distance.

　　 About two hours later, the through train that had loaded the last batch of goods into the carriages slowly left the platform amid the sound of the driver’s whistle and headed towards the capital.

At the same time, in the special car at the end of the train, Leo took out a good bottle of wine from the wine cabinet inside the car, poured a glass for himself and Sylvia separately, made a little ice, and drank it. He said: "This train may not be too calm."

　　 Sylvia looked at the secret service security guards who were guarded outside the car, and said: "If there is an attack, they may not be able to play any role, we should better rely on ourselves."

　　 Leo shook his head, and said in disagreement: "You look down on these people a little, they are different from Cardi's special security."

　　 "Is it different?" Sylvia was taken aback, and looked at Leo questioningly.
