Steel steam and flame

"The geographical limitations are too great." Teli Weikang continued, "You can't let people from several countries away rush to buy your things. Ordinary firearms and ammunition don't have that kind of status. So to run around, you need convenient transportation routes, as well as Setting up workshops and factories in a large area involves too many things, which is a waste of energy and time."

Cassia didn't speak and listened quietly. He knew that the next step would be the highlight.

"Artillery, artillery shells, various types of aerial bombs, bionic machinery, machines relying on compressed steam, of course airships, and armors with different functions, etc. The first few only need to produce one kind of energy and are slightly stable. If you want sex, you can sit in the room and watch the numbers representing money skyrocket. As for the latter two, without the support of several or dozens of small countries in this small country, you can only make matching parts. Then It's also the least profitable, so it's better not to do it." With a very familiar look, Tri Weikang knew a lot about these things, "The Flame Alliance needs efficient and practical incubation and breeding technology. In the Far Sea Common Country, they are born in the battle armor. One branch is called power-assisted armor. It relies on precision technology and excellent material science. That thing has no great response in the other two giant countries, but these small countries are like mobile money pots."

"Only those who sell these can be called arms dealers. Others can be called arms dealers to save face. The metal block transport team is called this in our circle. It is very vivid. The bullets are not expensive. They have been used for a few times. All kinds of metal aggregates processed by Tao."

Although he didn't think much of it, Teli Weikang's exposure and experience gave him a very high level of vision. In large-scale operations, these are indeed the most practical and one of the factors that can affect the outcome of the operation.

"By the way, how big is your current business and how much capital can you spare?"

"This..." Cassia thought for a while, "There are only three factories. In terms of funds, excluding raw material working capital, based on the currencies of the three giant countries, we can come up with an amount of 500 million." Cassia reduced the real data in her mind. Go for the most part.

"Well..." Te Li Weikang said with understanding, "I understand. If you really want to go down the road of arms dealer, I can provide you with some personnel connections. But those people have bad tempers and can If you can't seize the opportunity, it depends on your own ability."

"Are you sure his identity has nothing to do with the empire?"

"Ninety-nine percent." Li Suman's words seemed like a joke. "Whether I have actually met him or not, I only know from the information. I have compared it a lot, and I can probably confirm that apart from the fact that they look alike, We don’t have much in common.”

"Forget it, I quit." General Pullman shook his head. "When you go back, tell the Holy Emperor that I was seriously ill and died, and my body was burned to ashes. I want to live for a while longer, at least to complete the war in a few years." That’s about it to get through it, it’s too early now.”

"I finally want to understand why the Holy Fathers in the Holy Emperor's Hall arranged for you to go to the tundra before the Red Star came and didn't call you back for decades. There is definitely a reason. I know something about you. As expected, I think It's the same as before. Without the cold air to cool down your head, you may have strange thoughts after a while when it gets hot."

"It's really rude to say that, General Pullman." Li Suman didn't care. She thought the past things were normal. If others didn't understand, they just didn't know the truth. "Everyone else was playing, but I was the only one who took it seriously." I always feel it’s unfair to carry out orders and complete tasks.”

"It's not fair, you can't drag me in." The helpless Pullman sighed, "The Holy Emperor has enough troubles, and now there is such an additional person. If he dies, let him die a good death. Let him die. Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night when people come to do these things? By the way, we don't even sleep. In other words, aren't you afraid of that crazy girl coming to you with a holy sword? In the empire, that girl killed a round table Those who are knights are still members of their own family.”

"Afraid, of course I'm afraid. I can't beat the crazy girl, and I will only run away if I see it. But I am helping her, understand? The real Cassia is definitely not dead, although I have no evidence." He said like a child, " Now I create and package one Cassia to attract some attention, isn’t it to relieve the pressure on the other one?”

"Hope the crazy girl will be grateful to you."

Li Suman smiled: "I also hope that we have thought of this together."

Pullman looked at Li Suman, wondering whether he should think about the meaning of her words: "Then what do you want me to do? He is just an ordinary lieutenant in the army. I want to train him to be a lieutenant in a short time." A school-level officer is one who has both strength and command, or is higher, so you won't be afraid of pulling it out too hastily and tearing it off in one fell swoop."

"Also, judging from your appearance, it seems that he is not limited to his personal packaging. The forces behind him also want to make a beautiful shell. Without time and massive resource support, how can it be done? The empire is not Having said that, there is no need to worry about this at all. But the guy you found...,,well,,,well,,,I think it would be better for him to have his suppressor tubes removed and go to teach in a school or become a doctor. The housekeeper also Yes, he was very polite when we met today."

"This is why I asked you to help me, to turn him into an elite who came out of the military school. I will find a way for the rest. You don't have to suffer, find such a young man to accompany you, he won't know how to do it all at once Do you think you are young?" Li Suman took it for granted.

"I would rather grow old and be buried in the ground."

"Then think about it this way, when this Cassia shines in the future, you will have a share of the credit in it. Seeing the products you make disrupting the situation outside, you will definitely feel happy on the sidelines. Your works will be recognized by others. Under normal circumstances, everyone would feel comfortable receiving compliments. Didn't I just say that there is a 99% chance that he is not the real Cassia? Aren't you curious about the remaining 1%? "

"Could it be that the one percent is..." Pullman cheered up, and even his expression changed.

"Well..., it can be said that the remaining one percent is my intuition. This person may, to a certain extent, be able to become a complete replacement for Cassia through our training and help. But the work involved will be Just a little more, after all, that face is a pure natural product. Besides, I never said that I would only let you help me. There are still some cooperative allies. If you reveal something a little bit, you can arouse their interest and resources. Don’t worry, you can still get one of them.”

Pullman shook his head vigorously, and the look in Li Suman's eyes changed: "I finally understand why you women are called devils. You can do these things just for that one percent intuition. It's really a ghost."

Pullman didn't say a word after that. He knew that Li Suman's call to him here today was not an idea for discussion, but an imposition similar to an order. It's useless to say anything. This feeling is understandable, just like when I was still in the military, when I saw powerful weapons, I wanted to get them into my own team, and I kept pestering my superiors. A hot head can indeed do this, especially in the eyes of Pullman, a woman like Li Suman.

It was already evening when the adjutant was asked to prepare the transmission machine. At that time, Lisa Man and Pullman had finally discussed the basic plan for the future.

"Are you done with everything?" Li Suman asked when the adjutant briefly debugged the machine and reported. After receiving a positive reply, Li Suman walked to the table in the room, picked up the memory card and inserted it into the card slot. With the sound of gears clenching, the red indicator light on the machine turned green.

Throwing herself onto the soft bed, Li Suman's eyes and mouth could not help but smile. While she took off her clothes and relaxed herself, she took out a special communicator, lay on the bed and raised it up, like a child looking at the toy she has longed for and finally got, full of anticipation.

At the same time, on the other side, Macquarie was reading the latest information in the study. After the information enters the brain, it is quickly classified and begins to match various seemingly unrelated events. Once he finds some entry points, Macquarie will stop to think and dig out more possibilities.

The communication machine next to him lit up with a red light at this moment. Under the set program, the frequency was recognized by the super analysis machine at the Qilaandi family headquarters. The result of a bunch of calculation branches being activated was the mechanical system next to the communicator. On the panel, countless roulette wheels engraved with imperial characters were moved to form the name "Lisuman".

When he looked over, the transmission machine connected to the communicator started a little late. Amidst the sizzling sound, Macquarie smelled the faint fragrance of ink escaping. A dozen pieces of paper were swallowed into the machine, and after some processing, they turned into poor photos with warm color images. But this did not prevent Macquarie from seeing clearly what was on the paper.

He immediately picked up the communicator and adjusted the frequency band. His hand that was about to press the connect button stopped midway. Putting the microphone aside, he picked up the ten pieces of paper and read them carefully many times. McGregor thought for more than a minute, then crumpled the papers into a ball and threw them into the trash can. Li Suman is his old friend. He has known her since they were students. In this era when all other classmates and friends are dead, the only one who knows Li Suman best is Macquarie.

Already knowing what Lisuman wanted to do, Macquarie did not want to put himself in a passive position due to his actions. The two are now in a cooperative relationship, but because Li Suman is entangled in this matter, they will definitely spend part of their energy to solve and deal with it. There are many things that need to be solved in practice, and they will multiply in the future. Macquarie does not want to be disturbed by these things, especially things that involve his own group leader.

There seemed to be no further follow-up. Macquarie's expression only changed once during this period, and then returned to what it was before. He sat quietly in the chair and continued to read the piles of information on the table.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the red light came on again on the communicator, and Li Suman's name appeared on the reset gear dial. Only then did Macquarie pick up the microphone at hand.

There was a sound of deep breathing coming from over there, as if he was suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out from his heart.

"Miss Lisuman." Macquarie looked so polite. What just happened didn't seem to have any impact on him. It was like a lake disguised as a mirror, and heavy rain could not create ripples on it.

"There's no transmission machine around you!"

"Transmission machine?" Macquarie was confused, "No." He answered briefly, but it made people crazy, "Is there anything that needs to be transmitted? I will have someone prepare it right away."

Immediately realizing that she had been deceived, Li Suman clearly tried to calm down on the other side: "Don't you want to express some opinions? It's rare that I want to talk to you with a smile, but now my mood has been reduced by half. Alas... Should have expected this to be the case.”

"It's best not to, it's very dangerous and uncontrollable. Everyone is concentrating on their control, hoping that various plans will not deviate too far from expectations, and hope that the trend will move in the established direction, so as to resist the consequences of time. Huge impact. You should learn from them. There will definitely be a lot of fun and interesting things in the future. This one will only cause you trouble at the moment."

"It's not me. This might bring good results."

"It's not worth the risk."

"I'm not here to ask you to persuade me to give up. Do you want to join? It's rare that I want to do something on my own, so I will definitely put in my energy." Li Suman sat up from the bed and leaned on the bedside. "I won't bring him into the empire. Just stay active in these small countries. It will definitely play a big role in the future, and you will be able to see it soon. With him here, and my actions here, it will definitely relieve you a lot of pressure. If you join, you will gain more than me It’s so much better to do it alone.”

"I'm afraid of being beaten to death by the leader."

"Your leader is just a little girl. Besides, it's okay if you don't tell her."

"It's not small. Besides, I don't want the leader to be distracted by this kind of thing. The crisis is approaching. This time it is the sixth red star, and the attraction will pull the third red star to it and appear in the sky together one after another. Ancient Judging from the exploration and records on the ruins, this is definitely not normal. It has not been long since the Holy Emperor's Hall recalled you from the tundra. The giant whales in the Endless Sea have already made moves and changes, so you will not be unaware. In addition, in recent years, the Flame Alliance will also choose a suitable time to start the Millennium Sacrifice Ceremony, and now it has made extensive preparations for it. I hope to focus on these things."

"I don't know why you did this. I haven't figured it out since I was a student." Li Suman's mood finally became normal for a short time.

"As I said before, I just want to see if the empire will suddenly collapse, and I also want to know what the monsters from the four forces who have been unable to die are trying to achieve. People must have a long-term goal, especially For us surgeons, this goal is enough to match my lifespan. Of course, if one day I change my mind and want to pursue the same thing as those from the Quartet, that is not necessarily the case. The Sixth Red Star reminded me, and now I probably know There are some clues. If the guess is correct and there is enough evidence to support it, it will be really exciting."

"It must be something twisted, so that it can meet the expectations and desires of those old immortal monsters." Li Suman said, "It will definitely be a disaster for people like you to join them. I have always thought that you are so rational. People who approach things like an analytical machine and think about and analyze situations will definitely be the most destructive when they do bad things.”

"Bad thing?" McGregor was startled.

"Yes, it seems that I am the only one to stop you at that time, friend." Li Suman lay down again and said to the communicator, with a smile on her face.

"It seems that you have recovered a lot of things through this incident. I don't know whether I should be happy for you or should be wary." McGregor's words were full of memories, and Li Suman's tone was very much like that of a student from long ago. She of the times said, "But I still have to thank you. In return, I will also set the rules first, only in that small country, and the time of appearance cannot be recent. You know that the end of the knight squire assessment is not far away."

"Finally, how did you determine that he was not a young master?"

After telling McGregor the basis for her judgment, Lisuman continued: "I may not think less than you." Then she hung up the phone and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, "So, where do we start?"
