Steel steam and flame

After saying that, other personnel got off the limo one after another, moved out various instruments, went to the office building covered with cobwebs on the side, cleaned and arranged the initial base of operations.

In the limo, Olideba began to contact the small teams scattered in various areas of the king's influence and issued the order to start the operation. His voice was full of enthusiasm, because originally the position of Knight Commander would not have anything to do with him. But when Macdonald told him that he became the acting knight commander, he saw an opportunity. Even if he knew that after returning to the empire after his mission in a small country, he would be removed immediately. But if you perform well during the process, your identity after you withdraw will definitely be greatly improved compared to your original self.

Even within the past few days, Olideba began to uncontrollably imagine his future situation in this knight order.

"After returning to the empire, when my status improves, I will have the basic conditions to propose marriage to her family." As the most important thing, it is destined that Olideba will be 20% involved in this action. Hundreds of people use themselves. Even though he had already noticed it in his heart - Lord Macdonald would choose himself among the candidates with similar levels, just because he took his own situation into consideration.

Knowing what Charlotte looks like is only the first step in finding him. Searching and gathering intelligence information is the difficult part of the operation. But Olideba had instructions from Deputy Commander Daniel and the general direction of how the operation should proceed.

The fact that Charlotte was jointly encircled and suppressed by the empire's special agencies and the armies of small countries shows that his identity and the mission he was performing at that time were not simple. Even if he has changed his appearance now and integrated into the Qier Kingdom, the organization will never let him rest and leave his head, his strength and ability unused.

From this aspect, it can be inferred that after Charlotte entered the Kingdom of Chir, his status, or his official position in the king's power, would not be very low. The search focused on these managers. Not long ago, when she had just reached a cooperative relationship with the rebel forces, Danielle had already obtained detailed information on the managers of the king's forces from the rebel forces. Olideba's current first task is to actually compare these materials, and while this work is in progress, expand the search area and scope, and find out the changed identity of Charlotte without leaving any omissions.

"This is the key point. The accompanying danger is the team around the opponent." Before coming over, Daniel specially asked Olidaiba to find her. "Patrick died at the hands of such a team, so you must definitely Be careful. If we can prevent the other party from noticing our actions, and since we are not exposed, then according to the enemy's plans and expectations, our current state is that we have left the Chir Kingdom and will no longer interfere in the war within the kingdom."

"Just hide yourself and then conduct investigations in the dark." Olidaiba then summarized himself. This was the reason for choosing such a place away from the center of the king's power and purchasing a dilapidated factory building as a base of operations.

"Artillery and artillery shells?" Adolf looked thoughtful, looked at Cassia and asked, "Artillery should refer to the kind that can be fired by a single soldier in a single combat, right? As for artillery shells, there are many types of them. Tanks from small countries On some armored vehicles, there are fixed caliber guns for defense, or weapons configured for army artillery. Even the main weapons of military airships are using large amounts of ammunition such as artillery shells."

"I don't know, Mr. Soriato, which of these two things are currently being referred to?"

Cassia thought for a while, but really wanted to say, "If there are any, they must be the best." However, she also knew that the other party definitely did not have all the manufacturing materials in hand: "The most common ones will be fine. Currently, I only eat them here." I have to take this part. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can cooperate again. But I don’t know what the price will be if you, Mr. Adolf, intend to transfer this technology."

Adolf glanced at Pullman before answering. He didn't react. He had already made a decision in his mind.

"For the most basic types, I have a few sets of mature technologies here. But as you know, Mr. Soriato, this kind of thing may be very popular, and it is also a very common type of weapons and ammunition in the army of a small country. . But those are all things manufactured by military industrial enterprises that are completely controlled by a country. In the dark world, these things can be purchased, and the supply can be said to be sufficient. But if you search for the source of these goods, you will find that many people They are all middlemen, and the people who can actually make them may be the same people.”

"Let's put it this way, manufacturing a dozen or so rounds individually for personal use, or preparing hundreds of rounds in a year or two, many powerful dark forces have this ability. But if you want to ensure quality and mass-produce it in a factory, you have to It’s impossible. Why? First, it’s the control of equipment. It’s hard to buy machines, and there’s no way to buy them. Second, in terms of materials, the power of artillery is more than ten times that of steel-cased bombs, not just because of the large charge. . Both are platinum gunpowder, but there are additional accelerators added to the artillery, which can make the platinum gunpowder burn more quickly and violently. The ratio and technology of the accelerator are another branch. The last point is the propulsion technology of the artillery. And guidance, this is also a difficult problem. After all, the upgrade of artillery is all kinds of aerial bombs."

Seeing Cassia listening carefully, Adolf paused and continued: "It can be said that after excluding the sources of goods from various countries, the people who actually achieve mass production have always been the same group of people with minimal changes. In addition to the differences between various countries, In addition to the bunch of agreements signed on weapons, the rules in the dark world and the suppression of these forces are also very important reasons. If you want to upgrade from the production of firearms and ammunition to such a heavy firepower range, once you are discovered in the process, you will We are under great pressure from other arms dealers. Very few can survive.”

"Vicious competition?" Cassia looked thoughtful. He knew this very well. The platinum bullet business alone would encounter a large number of such phenomena. A more profitable business will definitely be more intense.

"It's not vicious competition. When you enter a large circle, you will find that many people know each other." Adolf laughed when he said this. "It is difficult for outsiders to integrate into these circles, and it is related to interests." This is even more true. The technology of artillery and shells is one of those things that is very difficult to get started and even more difficult to improve. But many people can’t even get started. Even in small countries, everyone has these technologies and materials. They are tightly controlled and never sell to others for profit or anything. Of course, finished products are an exception. Due to the arms agreement between countries, their shipments are extremely secretive and very small. This creates this circle The huge profits make everyone not want to let go, and they don’t want other people to join in and share with them.”

Pullman rarely nodded at this time. He knew that this was Adolf's preparation for Cassia to join the organization. It is the most ideal situation to let Cassia join the organization without knowing it and without much understanding. This will be useful enough to facilitate their "interference" with Cassia in the future. It will not force us to take bad measures in the future because of the loss of control over Cassia.

"It is easy to expand the scope and size of the business. Once the funds, personnel, and strength are reached to the limit, it is almost like the expansion of the river after a heavy rain, and it will naturally take shape. But this kind of upgrade, similar to digging and expanding the river, requires A lot of tools and manpower to assist.”

Adolf nodded in agreement. The cooperation between the two was extremely tacit, and there was nothing unnatural about it. But even though Cassia didn't know that Adolf came from the organization behind Charlotte, he knew Pullman, so he was extremely cooperative.

The information of the three people all has flaws to varying degrees. The information gap makes the current situation of the three people generally average. The coordinated performances are the same, and it is impossible to tell who is lagging behind.

Adolf added at the right time: "You need a navigator, and you also need a pass. These are the basic conditions for entering the circle. Soriatu, you can regard me as the navigator. What I just said Mature technology is indeed in your own hands, but it cannot be taken out privately and handed over to you directly. You must abide by the rules, otherwise the consequences you will face are basically the same for everyone in the industry and you should all understand."

"Mr. Adolf, the navigator refers to..."

Seeing that Adolf still had something to say, Cassia immediately pursed her lips.

"That's what I'm going to say right away." Adolf took a sip of juice. "Because of Mr. Trevikan's relationship, I took the time to come here this time, and that's the purpose. You don't have to expect those sets of technologies, no, that's right I can’t give it all to you directly. All I can provide is a safer route that will allow you to get what you want at the end.”

"You have to thank Miss Tavel for the remaining passes." Pullman interjected as if to remind him, "I have said before that I have been taken care of by Miss Tavel's family. Her family happens to be in this circle. With her helping you, most of the people in the circle will look at the power of Miss Tavel's family and will not make things too difficult for you. Moreover, it is also because of Miss Tavel's relationship that some checkpoints on the route provided by Adolf will open."

After finishing speaking, both of them paused and looked at Cassia. Not knowing what to say at this moment, Cassia could only show that she was thinking about the relationship. This appearance was affirmed by both of them.

After waiting for a while, Cassia thought about it, maybe it was a question from her heart: "I really don't understand these. I originally thought it was the same as the platinum bullet business. I used funds to buy machines, hire personnel, and provide supporting equipment." Once we have the technology and process, we can start production immediately.”

"Then Mr. Adolf and Mr. Trevikan don't know what I should do here in terms of specific steps. I have prepared a relatively sufficient amount of funds in advance. I originally thought that I would buy it directly like a transaction, but now it seems that it is not possible."

"You can't say that." Adolf denied Cassia's words. "The technology I have is actually purchased, but it requires prerequisites. You should know that this kind of technology relies solely on personal power, which means that people like us For a small group, if there are no other big backgrounds on the list, every step forward will be difficult. The technical difficulties are even more serious. In fact, some of the sellers in the dark world today are people from various countries and giant national families. Many technologies have also been leaked out after their deletion. This is the reality. It is absolutely impossible to compare with the power of these families that have been inherited for hundreds of years and have experienced help from various eras after more than ten years of development. .”

"It comes from an organization. The organization does not have a specific name, in order to maximize the concealment. So we later called it an organization." Adolf spoke slightly seriously, "The specific composition seems to be various Some people in the small country formed it a long time ago in order to have the power to protect themselves in this small country where wars often occur. The technology in my hands comes from the organization, and of course, I am also one of them. "

"Miss Tavel's family is also in it. It can be regarded as an alliance, an organization that helps each other develop and grow." Pullman spoke at the right time.

"In other words, if you want to obtain mature technology, only funds are not enough?"

"Correct, just like some high-end hotels. If you are not a member, you can only sleep after you go there. As for some other items in the evening, you have absolutely nothing to do with it. What are the benefits of being a member? The most important thing is that you can avoid risks. These members Generally speaking, they are guests who have undergone status assessment, and they will not say something outside. It is considered a circle, and some things only need to be understood by some people. It does not matter whether other ordinary guests know it. In addition, , only with the status of being a member can you open another door. Let’s take the hotel as an example, what is behind the door..."

After speaking, he looked at Cassia and General Pullman before Adolf asked a little unconfidently: "Everyone should know it well, right?"

Pullman nodded naturally. He had seen a lot of things when he was young, and this kind of thing was very common for him. Cassia paused, but immediately understood what was going on. I have read a lot of books, some of which involve potential knowledge in this area. In addition, he has entered many hotels, and he would not have had this understanding before when he had not mastered sound detection. But after that, with a normal capture range of two thousand meters, even if he didn't pay special attention to these things, many times, for the sake of his own safety, he was instinctively vigilant about the surroundings, which became a trouble that he couldn't solve. .

The characteristics of sound waves mean that their dispersion direction is not controlled by Cassia.

"Based on what we just talked about, it seems that my coming here this time is more like being recommended and entrusted by Miss Tavel to judge whether Mr. Soriato is qualified to become a member of this nameless organization."
