Steel steam and flame

"A complex network of relationships does not mean danger." At that time, Hessler smiled reassuringly and assured Delya that there would be no problem. "Not only me, but you and Waters can't just stop here. The arms business is just This small part of the world must be exposed to a larger network in order to grow."

"Besides, with the leader behind you, you don't need to worry about anything at all. Haven't you always lamented that you can't keep up with the leader's pace and growth rate? The opportunity is right in front of you. Small countries are only small countries after all, and they are the cracks and wars between giant countries. The buffer zone, except for those coordinating countries that receive support, will not have a solid structure."

"Only the strong walls built within the empire can make people despair. But that is what people like the leader should think of ways to destroy. We just need to pay attention to the small countries in front of us that are full of cracks."

Delya was very moved. I had the basis for this idea in my head, but like the little boost a giant snowball needs before it rolls, Hessler's words came at the right time.

Hessler didn't need to explain his idea in detail. Delia knew what the next step was to take if he wanted to take action.

The security company is the front, the surface code, the protective shell needed to survive in the bright world. Its actual function is to allow your people to go everywhere and be around many people.

As news of the coming war continues to spread and the sense of crisis deepens, people with prestige, influence, or wealth in each small country will be the first to smell the danger.

Security will become the top priority at that time. If security companies enter at this time and go to these people in various small countries, the benefits they will gain will not only be money.

In times of danger, strength will be admired because it is what protects oneself and is visible. Later, when the employment relationship is strong, as a protector who can contact these people almost all the time in daily life, he only needs to go through formal and process-based training to use "power" as the best entry point, just like a bait. , gradually affecting these prestigious, influential and wealthy people.

At that time, safety will no longer be an issue and power will complete its mission. The length of life brought by the operation, and the ambition born of being able to intervene in the struggle for power, will eventually connect people who have never met or have any relationship with each other. The ultimate goal is for the security company to serve as the starting point and use the protection personnel to transform them - even if they cannot become their own people, by joining, they can become friends, help them in various matters, and generate benefits. Coming and going.

Of course, as the knights behind the security company appear at the end, supplemented by the display of strength, they will naturally produce cohesion, bringing these scattered forces together to form a stable whole, and then influence each other, and then spread to the world in the form of feedback. among various small countries.

In the past, Delya would not think about this matter. Gray Area Blino made her understand that fame and influence can become the point of solid things, and can generate persuasiveness and attraction. As crisis and panic spread, these things will become bright beacons in the stormy night, guiding others in the direction in which they can move.

What Hessler wants to express is very clear. The leader can be gentle, but we cannot. When he considers things on another level, he does not have the energy to think comprehensively about the development of forces. Here we need to take the initiative ourselves. If he doesn't say something, it doesn't mean he doesn't support it, and it doesn't mean we won't do it. If he really gave the order, the nature would be completely different.

This made Delya rethink her positioning and all the advantages she now had.

The help that the identity of an arms dealer can provide to the leader will become increasingly limited. Even if it is perfect, the nature of the identity itself will have limitations. She understood what the leader wanted in his heart. Although she has never shown it clearly, she will patiently wait for the thing called "ambition" to break through the unconscious suppression of the group leader.

"Huh..." Delya poured another cup of black tea, and as she drank it in one sip, the choice she failed to make a few days ago came to fruition.

"There will be a lot more things happening in the future." She sighed with a smile.

Returning to the basement, she informed Hessle and Waters of the news that "the contact with Imperial Manoma has been established, and the most important things have begun to take action", while also determining their respective progress.

Waters was in charge of the arms business. The locations of several new factories have been determined, and the relevant procedures were completed very quickly with the support of various means and the power of money. The construction of corresponding factory buildings is never a problem, and the worries of speed and quality can be solved with money. The current Knights are in the awakening stage in many aspects and have many shortcomings. Only in terms of money, it is extremely abundant.

Even though it is starting to snow in many places in various small countries, the weather conditions are not good. But compared with the difficulty of the weather, not having enough money will make people even more sad. A problem that can be solved with money is never a problem.

The machines and equipment that were moved and sealed in the past are also being transported to the new factory location. Waters was handling various cross-country transportation procedures. Although he did not explain the progress, Delia could guess from the decrease in the numbers representing money that it was a very smooth process.

The sense of crisis and chaos created by the news of the coming war made many people pay more attention to the importance of money. On the other hand, it also made some processes easier. As for the negative effects, the hoarding of various materials has become a hot spot, and the prices of raw materials have increased.

But in the black market, compared to raw materials, the increase in the price of firearms and bullets is more surprising. Waters has contacted Delya several times and wants to sell some of the goods that have been left in the warehouse because the profits he can earn are very exciting.

Being rejected by Delya continuously, the Knights are not short of money now. She told Waters that getting the factory back on track as soon as possible was the first goal.

Hessler does not need to worry about Delya at all. The operation of the previous protection network has never been interrupted. In addition to maintaining basic stability, it is to expand the scale as quickly as possible and rationally in accordance with the current situation of the small country. There is already a mature system, and all that needs to be paid for this is the amount of resources corresponding to each member who is reviewed and recruited to join.

Every time she thinks about the amount of resources, Delya will thank the leader in her heart for the foundation he has laid for the Knights - the surgical development project materials brought from the military school, and the various biological creatures he has accumulated through the channels gained through his status as the leader. Pharmacy etc. They have now become important and precious resources.

Delia, Waters and Hessler are very optimistic about the value of surgical project data. They all grew up in the empire, had contact with too many surgeons, and experienced many things, which made the three of them understand that precious things are lacking, not valuable.

Within the empire, almost all the surgical project materials that provide introduction, guidance and reference are controlled by the four forces. If surgery is obtained from the dark world instead of through "regular" institutions, such as military schools, family influence, etc., then the access to surgical development projects will be cut off almost from the beginning.

In the dark world, the institutions that introduce and provide surgeries to some wealthy businessmen only allow them to obtain the life span and healthy body brought by the surgeries, nothing more.

"This is a link that forms a strong barrier." Delya recalled what Hessler once said, and her understanding deepened.

"What are the opportunities and methods to break it?" She occasionally thought about it, but the result was the same as this time, and she couldn't get any answers.
