Steel steam and flame

"Military, I think the three giant countries have different priorities due to environmental factors. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they have never fallen behind. Various weapons and equipment are always being updated. Every time there is a war, you always You can discover a lot of new things." Vettel said at that time and took a sip of water. "I just copied what is recorded in the history books. But it is indeed different. Because of the gap in strength and technological level, the Empire and the The surrounding small countries are very different in all aspects. You can just think of these countries as empires in history. After all, they all came from this situation step by step. It is just because of the efforts of the Mano Kingdom thousands of years ago that the empire developed It’s just smoother.”

The vehicle finally bid farewell to the muddy road and drove onto a smooth concrete avenue.

"In about two hours, we will arrive in the Kingdom of Chil." Vettel opened the small window and reminded, "I don't know what the situation is there, so please be prepared. By the way, Mr. Tussos, according to the agreement, As agreed, I will send you to a regular station. If you want to buy temporary identity tags or the like, you can go to the company's base with us. I can give you a cheaper fee, only 400,000 holy coins, and the time is Two to three years.”

Cassia thanked Vettel for his kindness, shook his head and said no.

"I wonder if Mr. Tussos intends to sell that pneumatic sword to us. Because it is an imperial standard, our company can offer a price of 26 million, and we can also tell your identity, Mr. Tussos." There are many discounts for being promoted to a senior customer of the company. Although our company is not big and does not have much influence in the empire, it has long been committed to the development and business expansion of these small countries. In many countries, it can provide a lot of conveniences. ." Vettel handed over a business card at this time. It was made of alloy material and had a series of universal communication frequencies written on it, as well as the name of a person named "Milesa". "There are general agents in the area surrounding the Kingdom of Chil. If necessary, you can contact him."

"Thank you." Cassia accepted it, ignored Vettel's disappointed look, lowered his head and continued to think.

In the afternoon, Cassia got off the car on the side of the road outside a station in the Kingdom of Chil. After thanking Vettel, he turned and walked towards the station.

"Just grab it. It's not like I've never done this before." The driver of the minivan said.

"Just drive. As for other things, don't worry about it." Vettel smiled, thinking about it all the way. In the end, he tended to the first possibility that came to mind, that he was able to get out of the station because he had that strength. . At this time, he also thought clearly that the suitcase full of weapons found in his bus was not actually from Charlotte's men. It was originally something that belonged to him, but if it had been anyone else at that time, Vettel didn't think anyone would admit it was his. Just like the encrypted box currently sitting on the pickup truck.

"We have less than two days left, and the journey is not long, but we have to pass many checkpoints in the middle, so we'd better hurry up."

"I know, work is important." The driver replied helplessly. In his opinion, it was a weapon that could be turned into 2,600 holy coins in a short time. It would be a pity to let it go like this.

Looking at the not-so-busy station in front of her, Cassia walked along the road to the nearest hotel, the kind that didn't require an identity card. Fortunately, he still had some money with him, the currency of the Qil Kingdom, and Delya exchanged some for him in the empire. After successfully checking in, Cassia immediately went to a nearby store to change into clothes that were suitable for the Qil Kingdom. She also slightly changed her appearance with makeup so that she would not be treated as an outsider by others.

Borrowing the hotel's communicator, Cassia first contacted Delya. Because it was about three days later than the expected arrival time, Delya was not worried, but she was still a little more relaxed: "I thought something happened on the way. I have been asking Waters to pay attention to his appearance in the past few days. Follow the movements on the other side so that when you arrive, Commander, he can come over in time."

"The trip went smoothly." Cassia replied, "Is there anything going on in Tussini? During the time I left."

"It's all calm for the time being. According to your wishes, Captain, we went to find Cooper, and he agreed smoothly. In the past few days, he has been playing a powerful role that he has been here for several years. I think the situation will only get worse. The better it gets, there will be no more problems. In addition, according to intelligence, several management forces in Tushini are also recruiting new officials. This time the number has been cut in half, perhaps because of the number of people in the past two months. Experience. The first batch of goods was shipped on the railway line the night before yesterday. The transaction was with a black market middleman from a nearby country. The first advance payment has been received, and the factory is now operating normally. In less than two months, The business will be able to expand, and during this period, depending on the amount of production, we will also start to consider supporting Waters."

Later, Cassia contacted Waters using the latest communication frequency given by Delya.

At three o'clock in the morning, Cassia left the hotel and went to the Miklos area of ​​the Chil Kingdom with Waters, who came to pick him up. That is where the factory is located. In more than a year, it has grown to a large scale.

"Commander, now that you are here, I think the pressure in many aspects will be relieved." Waters opened a window and let the steamy wind blow on his face that was red with excitement. "The situation has been very serious not long ago." When the war started, it has now fallen into a stalemate. Neither side is sure, and the strength is roughly equal. However, the king's force needs more support from within the country, while the rebel force has external assistance. The two bordering countries are probably interested in the rich mineral resources in the Qil Kingdom."

"What about us now? How much trust does the factory and the king's forces have in us?" Cassia thought for a while before asking.

"Roughly one of several weapons and ammunition suppliers." Waters sorted out the words in his mind. "Some meetings often invite us to participate. Although we are not considered a member of them yet, what we are doing now The work is on the contrary. In addition to weapons, some orders for machine parts have also been handed over to us for production. Many benefits have been promised. In recent months, the king's forces have suddenly become enthusiastic about us. A large part of the reason is our In terms of status, because I knew that I came from the empire, not only me, but also the main managers of several factories were appointed as their officials, and their status was changed to nobles. It was all unilateral, I I found many reasons but didn't accept it. It's not normal. To be honest, I just hope for a good cooperative relationship and business relationship with the king's forces. They all do their best for the country, but I can't see myself in the empire. Compared with the leaders of the previous forces, they probably don’t have enough knowledge, they lack a lot.”
