Steel steam and flame

The factory expansion plan has begun to be implemented. Brother and sister Finia and Gers have become the captains of the expansion team. After returning from Chromie City not long ago, the two went straight to the factory where Waters is located to learn about the current factory. And the situation of doing business in the black market.

The three of them returned to Cassia's residence today, bringing thumbnails of several surrounding small countries to make final discussions on the business expansion plan.

Including the Kingdom of Chil, the map includes a total of seven small countries. A huge river runs through three of the countries, becoming a very important waterway trade route there. The other several countries are all landlocked, and their transportation is the same as that of the Chil Kingdom, with high-speed roads and railway lines crisscrossing each other to form a complex transportation network.

The initial plan is to choose a small country with rivers running through it. The huge river will eventually merge into the huge virgin forest where the southern forest is located, enter the territory of the Flame Alliance, and then flow into the endless sea. Whether it is upstream or downstream, it passes through more than a dozen countries in total. In the future, if there is an opportunity to open up routes and deal with various relationships and problems, it will become a very important transportation route.

At the same time, there was another small country, sandwiched between the Chil Kingdom and the Empire. Cassia's plan is to use this location to strengthen the connection between the Tushini region of the Empire and the factories of the Chil Kingdom.

The two small countries chosen are not very large in area, and their population is about half of the Chil Kingdom. It is much weaker than the Qier Kingdom in every aspect. Another point is that the two countries are very close to areas that are often war-torn. If it expands in the future, one can go towards the coastline, and the other can go deep into the center of the Houxiang Continent and connect to that huge gray area.

"Waters should tell you the detailed steps." It took the four of them the whole morning to refine most of the details. At this time, Cassia asked Fenia and Geers. They were bounty hunters and had no experience in this area. But initially, all that needs to be dealt with is the selection of the factory address, the local dark world forces, and figuring out some important relationship networks. If possible, Finha and Gers still have the task of clearing out a group of competitors in advance.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Cassia then explained some matters that required special attention, and then the two of them took the selected team and set off today and tomorrow.

After the two left, Cassia and Waters left the residence together and found an ordinary restaurant to sit down.

"In the past, the black market middlemen would be expanded first, and then the transportation network would be developed based on the distribution of these middlemen. Even if the factory is established quickly, it must at least obtain the corresponding permissions, smoothen the relationships, disguise the appearance, etc. It takes four or five months. Of course, if possible, some small workshops only need about two or three weeks. For this reason, Delya has also modified and designed a portable manufacturing machine specifically for this expansion method. To make bullets, a large truck is used as a carrier, and a steam power source is connected to the outside to start making bullets of good quality. The supporting mechanisms are also installed on another large truck. As long as a stable raw material supplier can be found, But it can be produced quickly where needed.”

"Is that what Delya told me a few days ago?" Cassia heard Delya say this.

"Yes, Commander." Waters smiled, "Delya also told me, Commander, you want to mass-produce this kind of portable production machine and do it as a business. Compared with a small workshop, it has to be Thanks to Webley's technology, coupled with our own design and modification, the efficiency and stability are much better. And the quality is also higher than a level. But, the leader, Delya and I both think that at present, it can be Slow this down."

"Use it yourself first. Firstly, you can find some areas that can be optimized and improved. Secondly, according to Delya's original idea of ​​letting technicians modify and design it, it was originally intended to be used as a commodity. But avoid The scope of our business radiation, and we must also do some necessary publicity. After all, in terms of preliminary pricing, you may know, leader, that with a complete set of configurations, some small forces in the dark world will not have enough funds to purchase. So maybe in the future It will involve a certain degree of arrears. And almost half of the cases the arrears will not be returned, which requires a specially prepared team to be responsible for this problem alone. Just like business in the empire, probably Every transaction, there are very few people who will pay it all in one lump sum. Well..." Waters paused here, "In short, because it is a transaction in the dark world, the situation is very complicated, and there are not only blackmailers but also The risk of crime, even if you put a gun into those people's mouths when asking for debts, they will not be able to take it out. These problems are the most helpless."

Cassia nodded and signaled to Waters to stop here.

"Just follow your and Delya's plan. If you need help, you can ask for it. There is another thing you need to know. Recently, or in a month or two, because of some things, I will probably Leave the Kingdom of Chil. You will still be fully responsible for this place in the future. So if you have any troubles that are difficult to solve, bring them up as soon as possible. Hessler will not return soon and will stay in the Tusinni area for a while. And Finia and The two of them, Geers, have just joined in. The necessary observation and their own learning and adaptation will also take time. Many things can only rely on you."

Waters shook his head, "I still have a lot of energy. This is not a problem, Captain."

After going back to his residence alone, Waters went straight to the station after eating.

When he opened the door, he saw the communicator on the table flashing with a warning light. After confirming that it was Adolf, Cassia contacted him.

The next day, Cassia met Adolf in the park according to the time and place in yesterday's communication, and Trivikan was also present. The two came a long time in advance, and they didn't end their conversation until they saw Cassia.

"Mr. Adolf, Mr. Trevikan." Cassia greeted him respectfully and sat across from the two of them.

"Two things. One is your surgical development project. After Adolf found out about it, he said he could come and help. He has enough experience to be your teacher. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask Adolf and I." Te Li Weikang Be the first to speak.

"The other thing is about the organization's mission. It is expected to start in a week and a half. It is very simple, but because it is very important, so I will explain to you in advance some aspects that must be paid attention to when performing the mission." Very serious words, Adolf stared into Cassia's eyes and said.
