Steel steam and flame

The value and scarcity of the goods also determine that customers will not be stingy with the money in their hands at this time. They will buy as much of this kind of thing as they have. After all, no matter from which point of view, it is mandatory and focused in every country. Controlled products, threat and destructive power of firearms are far from comparable. With cannonballs and artillery, apart from the friction between the various forces, in some cases it can already resist the regular army in some areas.

In other words, the threat level has left the scope of the surgeon's circle in a sense and expanded to the regional and even national level. This is a situation that every small country does not want to see.

Cassia knows this, so she is currently trying to increase the strength of the force itself in the shortest possible time to expand the scale. Only in the later time can she have the ability to resist danger. The forces that can manufacture cannonballs and artillery have deep backgrounds, and have close communication with officials from various places through business networks. Some implicit rules in each region will be followed, such as how many cannonballs can only be sold in a certain period of time.

It’s not about convenient management, but a win-win model. These arms dealers do not want to conflict with the regional management department, and the management department does not want to mess with such arms dealers. The business network in the black market creates a network of contacts and relationships. Once a conflict arises between arms dealers and regional management departments, neither will gain any benefits in the end, and will only increase their respective casualties.

In terms of sales, arms dealers will also rely on their own strength and reputation in the black market to force customers to comply with certain terms. The purchased artillery and artillery shells cannot be used to attack the administrative departments of various regions, or things related to these institutions, and can only be used for conflicts between forces.

This is the most famous rule among the various clauses. It has been formulated for I don’t know how long ago and is used by many arms dealers. Because once some customers use shells and artillery to attack the local army of a certain country, or the manpower of the management department, small frictions can be solved with money. But when the situation becomes serious, users of course cannot escape the relationship. Likewise, the manufacturers of artillery and shells will also be affected.

In most cases, the management departments of each region have given this type of arms dealers a sufficient scope of activities. If the arms dealers cannot achieve a delicate balance between the two, and finally lead to the intervention of national-level forces, then It's the result of solving it together.

In small countries, similar things have not happened before. The most recent incident dates back more than 20 years and involved a group that performed surgeries to cure terminal illnesses on the black market. It is said that it is curing terminal diseases, but in fact it is surgical transformation of patients, and most of the target people are some relatively wealthy businessmen and powerful people. Later, threats and tranquilizers are used to achieve control and long-term "blood-sucking" purposes. During the operation, they added something similar to addictive hallucinogens to specific hormones. The surgeons in the early stages of the operation were unable to resist, and they did not have the willpower.

In addition, relying on the skills of a few immature doctors within the force, organ transplants are also being performed on ordinary people. Of course, the raw material is a long-term cooperation project between this force and another human trafficking gang.

At that time, a somewhat strange small-scale disease broke out in the country where this force was located. The patient's specific organ function was severely failed, and ordinary medical treatment could only relieve it, which could last up to half a year. The treatment options at that time were not only surgery but also organ transplantation.

In addition, the strange thing is that the small range mentioned is a specific group of people, businessmen, small dignitaries, upper-class elites among ordinary people, and some middle- and lower-class officials. Cassia didn't know exactly what happened in the middle. She just knew that if there were no accidents, the country's disease control and epidemic prevention department would have taken matters into its own hands and solved it.

But an accident caused the situation to get out of control. After a thorough investigation, it was found that several doctors used a bacteria that was used against surgeons, weakened its toxicity, and used it to cause serious incidents for ordinary people. This is still a small matter, but what completely triggered this situation was the source of the transplant organs of this force.

At that time, the country was at war, and many soldiers died every day. And those organs come from here.

The result is obvious. Cassia himself believes that there is no need for the existence of forces that do such things. Everything starts with surgery, and it ends with surgery. Don't involve other people. For people like himself, after Cassia left the military school, his view was that death at any time would not look pitiful.

After the investigation was clear, the battle was over within half a day. During the process, the team that went to encircle and suppress the enemy was attacked by artillery. So the investigation continued, and eventually an arms dealer at that time was found. Perhaps it has been peaceful for too long. In addition, this arms dealer is very powerful and can be called the arms business giant in several small countries. There are some attitude problems.

But it seems that it has forgotten why the dark world is called the dark world. The environment in a small country is no better than that in an empire. Furthermore, among the members of the major forces in the empire, except for some of their own germs that have not been cleared up yet, Cassia has no impression of being someone who would do such a thing.

The initial crusade was somewhat difficult, but after that, the small country applied for assistance from the alliance established among the small countries. The seven coordinating countries sent support together. The time difference between before and after was one week, and a giant arms dealer was completely wiped out. Cassia thought that there should be organized personnel involved.

After that, Dark World carried out a thorough internal rectification, which was regarded as cutting off the development of similar businesses and preventing similar things from happening again.

Cassia has always believed that information is very important to everyone, and a lot of valuable intelligence and reminders can be obtained from it.

They will face similar things next, because Cassia remembered what Ye Jielin said, businessmen are very concerned about the long-term business, which is a steady stream of profits, the most stable and safe. Apart from the self-competition among arms dealers, as a force that is growing rapidly, from the original Steam Knights with only three people to now having dozens of factories and nearly 10,000 members, to Soon an arms trafficking network spread out involving more than a dozen small countries. Cassia knew that things she had not considered before would have to take time to think about carefully.

This may be the responsibility of being the leader of the Steam Knights. After gradually gaining the right to speak in the dark world, he must protect the environment from deterioration and destruction. At the same time, it is still an unknown effort to protect something.

This is contradiction and conflict. No matter what, different stages correspond to different characteristics. In the days after contacting Waters, Cassia spent a lot of time thinking about this sort of thing. It's very troublesome, because compared to Ye Jielin and Hai, Cassia has not had this kind of awareness since she was a child and needs to start from scratch. But at the same time, I also felt joy from this kind of conscious thinking.

Because this not only means that apart from strength, he has grown to a stage in other aspects where he can see the footsteps of others and is no longer a machine that can only rely on strength to solve everything. In addition, this also shows that starting from a knighthood, now, he really holds power other than himself in his hands.

Looking at the marked map on the table, Cassia exhaled, but felt a sense of powerlessness trapped in the quagmire. This is far from enough. The bigger you get, the smaller you feel.

In the past, Cassia had thought about how to drill a hole in a solid barrier such as the four forces of the empire. Now, Cassia was thinking about how to get sunlight that was not sunlight as much as possible in the shadow of this solid barrier.

Cassia is not desperate, but she is becoming more aware of the reality of her situation. Sometimes, he still thinks that maybe if he gives himself some more time, he can really punch a hole in the solid barrier. After drilling the hole, it may be possible to cause cracks to originate from the hole and spread to the surrounding area.

There is never anything that must have its meaning as long as it exists. They are all given by people. Cassia knows what she looks like now, her current state, and the source of what makes her who she is now.
