That afternoon, Delya came back to explain the progress of the factory. It would take half a month to complete the layout and debugging of the machine and start trial production. Because of the experience learned from the Webley factory, Delya said that in half a month
There shouldn't be any big problems. During this period, she will also go to the Three Primary Color Group offices to deal with steam transmission issues and sign relevant long-term cooperation agreements with raw material manufacturers to ensure that after the production line is put into operation, a good situation can be maintained from the beginning.
cycle.
It also explains the obstacles that will arise in the future, the most important of which are the three railway lines for transporting goods out of the country. The Deliato people asked about the price, and calculated it together with the price of weapons sold by Waters. The profit can only be made in the empire.
About one-fifth of the total. This is a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Of course, if the original transportation route is used, the profit will increase a bit, but not much. Anyone in the empire who has these routes seems to have a huge appetite.
As for other problems, Delya and the others could solve them by themselves, and Cassia didn't pay much attention to them.
"If you want to have the power to use those three railway lines, you must either integrate into the management circle of the Tushini area, or become the invisible controller here." After Delya left, Cassia thought to herself.
The factory at Waters is still in the development stage, and the quantity produced can only barely supply the king of the Chil Kingdom, and there are also quantities that are constantly transported from the surrounding areas of Manoma.
Moreover, the profits gained within the Chil Kingdom are not very high. When we first entered the Chil Kingdom, our success in seizing part of the arms business market was all due to low prices and higher quality and level than our peers. Use Webley Arms Company
The technology earned is probably all technical fees.
Cassia knows that now he must gather a large amount of funds in a short period of time before subsequent plans and prospects can be implemented. A small airship can reach a price of ten to two billion holy coins, and it is still
Commercial use. In the future, if you want to have the effect of deterring others in terms of firepower, you must earn enough money in a short time to purchase a commercial airship and its modifications. Give yourself two years to own one.
An attack formation composed of small and medium-sized airships, and the staffing and training must also keep up.
It was a week after Cassia took office when she left the temporary residence and started to deal with the obstacles. Cassia rushed to the building of the Imperial Administration on time on Monday morning. There was still a woman who had not woken up at the front desk. After asking,
After knowing that nothing happened last week, Cassia drove a limousine around the city center of Tussini according to the map, noted down the specific terrain, and then returned to the temporary residence. She changed her clothes and became a
A very ordinary middle-aged man. Then he took a backpack and looked like a man who had just lost his job. He went to the area near Novis's residence and started to explore.
This kind of work lasted for a week. Cassia figured out Novis's habits and basically understood Cooper's daily life. On Sunday afternoon, Cassia went to the villa base to pick up basic weapons and waited there.
The arrival of night.
He left there at ten o'clock in the evening. After spending more than half an hour, Cassia arrived near the place where Cooper lived. The residence was a very ordinary villa, a type of apartment where the richer ordinary people usually live. He made sure that there was no one inside,
Cassia sneaked in, left a note, put it on the table in the living room, turned around and left, going to the road that Cooper would pass every night when he returned from Novis.
In an alley, there is a small gathering point of sewers under the ground. Cooper often handles some traces here, such as corpses. This kind of situation is rare. Cassia has only encountered it once after observing it for a week.
Finding a place to stand at random, Cassia hid in the darkness. Ten minutes later, footsteps appeared from the entrance of the alley, stopping for a moment, accompanied by the sound of opening the manhole cover. In the sound waves, Cooper was alone carrying two
Take a bag and put it into the underground sewer.
Cassia walked silently to the entrance of the waterway and stood aside waiting.
The waterway was not spacious, and both sides were filled with the remains of bags similar to those in Cooper's hand, full of traces of being eaten by rats. Already very familiar with this place, Cooper finally found a place to put down the bag and took out the microbial reagent.
Crush them and pour them on the bags to speed up the decomposition of these corpses.
It seems to be Cooper's habit. Every time he handles these corpses, he will always fall into a trance for a short time and stand still. It seems that the person in the bag will become like himself at some unknown day. The same is true today, Cooper
When he woke up from his trance, he clicked on his watch and looked at the time before walking towards the exit step by step.
With a mechanical movement, Cooper got on the ground, bent down to cover the manhole cover, patted his clothes, and sighed. In the darkness beside him, almost at the same time, a sigh, neither light nor heavy, came from the darkness.
Cooper's whole body trembled. Even though he heard the sound clearly, there was still nothing there. His body took a few steps back before thinking. When he pulled out his pistol, Cooper discovered a shadow in the darkness.
gradually emerged.
Thinking at the last step, he suppressed Cooper's urge to shoot. If the other party wanted to take action, his previous thoughts might have become a reality and become something contained in the bag. He stood there, took a gentle breath and asked
Said: "Who?"
"Mr. Cooper." There was a sharp and hoarse voice. Cooper squinted his eyes, trying to see the other person's face clearly, but he didn't know if it was because of the weak light angle. The other person's whole person looked like a piece of stone under the scorching sun, rising from the ground.
The cut shadows are the same, dark in color.
"You may have recognized the wrong person. My name is Saladis. I don't know who Cooper is." He said with a relaxed expression, as if he was lucky that he was not the target he was looking for.
"As for whether you are Cooper or not, it doesn't matter. I just want to talk to you, and it has nothing to do with your name." Cassia continued naturally, "I don't know, Mr. Saladis, have you left Nuo?"
Weiss's idea. To be honest, with your strength, you can definitely find a more powerful force to rely on,,,"
"What do you mean? I don't know Novis either. Dear sir, you really have the wrong person." Cooper interrupted Cassia.
Without any intention of paying attention, Cassia continued her own words: "What you can get from Novis, others can't give it to you elsewhere. And regarding your wife's illness, Novis is not the only one who can help you.
.”
"What do you want to say?" Cooper changed his tone, relaxing his finger and pressing the trigger again.
"Mr. Cooper, please don't get excited." Cassia's words remained calm, "As I said just now, I just want to talk to you tonight. What you need now is just a large amount of funds. You are under Novis.
Do you know how much money he gives you every year? It shouldn’t be much. It’s been several years, but you still haven’t collected it. If you want doctors in the dark world to treat almost terminally ill patients, the cost will definitely be higher than surgery.
There are many more. After all, the details and steps are all different.”
"If there is such a condition that someone can copy the treatment Novis gave you and promise to pay for your wife's treatment and subsequent surgery within half a year, the answer to the question just now will not be true.
Any idea what it could be?”
"Who are you? If you want to investigate this kind of information, anyone can know it very clearly. Are you someone else's subordinate? Do you want to use it to divert the relationship between me and Mr. Novis?" Cooper was very careful, and from him
Cassia didn't hear any changes in her words, except for the slight vibration in her body when she just promised to pay for the treatment. "No need to spend any more time. I have heard this kind of words no less than five times, dear sir."
"In that case, okay." Cassia sighed, with a hint of regret in it, "Someone is willing to give you time to think about it. I think one week is enough. Next week will be the same place and time. I hope you think clearly.
Finally, I can have a clear answer next time. By the way, I might as well tell you that a certain adult has taken a fancy to your strength and wants you to do things for him. In addition, judging from your status, you are from a certain place.
The upper-class people are eyeing Tushini. Don’t you think that Tushini’s situation can be kept hidden forever? There will be a purge here. Everything that Novis, Beverly and the others swallowed in the past will be all in the nearest time.
They were forced to vomit it out. If they were unlucky, there would be no need for them to vomit it up themselves, and someone would naturally help them open their stomachs."
"In other words, the faster a certain high-level person cleans this place, the sooner the promise to you will be fulfilled. In the end, as for who I am, it doesn't matter. I just received the order and followed the task rules.
We are just dealing with some things in advance here. But in the future, maybe we will have a chance to get to know each other. It all depends on your decision."
Cassia has been hiding in the darkness, retreating silently at the right time, and controlling her voice so that it does not produce a sense of difference with distance: "Cooper, you are lucky. I hope to see you here again in a week."
.By the way, this is a reward for your correct choice of not shooting. Compared to your luck, Novis's butler Zikman is probably what people often call the unlucky guy."
Seeing the shadow in front of him gradually blurring, Cooper kept staring, but it was as if his eyes were suddenly covered with a film of water. By the time he noticed, the shadow had already disappeared from the alleyway. He exhaled and felt
A layer of icy sweat had formed on his back. Putting away the gun, Cooper looked at the entrance of the alley for a few seconds, during which time all his senses were dissipated. After confirming that no one was there, he exhaled.
I left here in a few steps.
Cooper looked around his residence very carefully before entering the room. The note left on the table was very conspicuous. It said, "Mr. Cooper, please consider it seriously." He crumpled the note into a ball and looked around.
He walked around the living room and said to himself: "I won't leave anything behind. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it just now." After saying that, he threw the paper ball into the trash can. Cooper sat at the table and poured it out.
Drink a glass of wine.
"A high-ranking person somewhere?" Cooper murmured, and confusion began to appear in his head, because the person just didn't seem to be lying, "But even if he lied, I didn't see it. Butler Zikman
,,,”
There was a tearing feeling on Cooper's face. He was considering whether to tell Novis and Butler Zickman what had just happened. After struggling internally for a few minutes, he finally did not move and sat quietly on the chair. Even through communication
The device was in the corner of the living room, less than a few meters away. The thinking in his brain made him choose to wait. He seemed to be looking forward to it, or hoped that what the man just said was true.
The man was right about many things. Novus provided him with fifteen million holy coins every year, which can be regarded as salary. This is indeed something that ordinary people would never imagine.
Number, but for the surgeon, it is not a big number. In a few years, after deducting his wife's high monthly expenses in the hospital, he did not accumulate enough money to carry out thorough treatment. What's more important is that
Doctors in the dark world are not interested in treating ordinary people. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive work, and the rewards are not equal to the efforts.
At the same time, Cassia really left the house at this time.
,,,,,,
Cassia returned to the temporary residence, took off her clothes, and boiled water while reading the information about Madokao. In another situation, she was a mercenary and was originally entrenched in Tusinni, but was affected by the special operations of the Defense Force and Amotan City.
During the siege by the agency team, all the people around him died. Later he went to jail, and Wagner, the current deputy minister of finance, used family connections to get him out. After that, he stayed by Wagner's side and acted as the captain of the private team, which continued.
To this day.
Cassia believes that what can be used is the relationship between Ma Duogao and the dead mercenaries. If Ma Duogao still remembers and retains a friendship in his heart, there will be a high chance of success.
Although he was born as a mercenary, Ma Duogao has obviously adapted to the current comfortable life, and has forgotten a lot of the caution he used to be when he was a mercenary. He really likes to spend a day or two in high-end taverns in Amotan City when he has nothing to do.
Go. This time, it only took Cassia four days to completely figure out this very regular life.
There is indeed a gap between us and the students in the military school, not in terms of strength, but in terms of our own consciousness and vigilance, the essential difference. If you live in one place all the time, your every day will be irregular in the eyes of others.
It should be the most basic common sense. Even if this is not the case, habitual life should be an illusion that you perform for others to see.
But Cassia couldn't comment on this kind of lifestyle. On the afternoon of the fifth day, Cassia was still dressed the same as last week. After walking around the city, she came to Ma Duogao's house in the evening and waited beside her.
In the garage.
Ma Duogao returned to his residence at nine o'clock in the evening, still smelling of perfume that had not been blown away by the wind. As most mercenaries, his habits were well retained on his body.
"Mr. Madogao, I wonder if we can talk." Cassia changed her voice. Madogao noticed someone behind him and immediately pulled out his pistol. Like Cooper, he did not fire.
"What are you talking about?" Ma Duogao turned around and carefully moved a few steps to the side. When he saw no reaction from the shadow in front of him, he quickly reached out and pressed the light switch in the garage. But the line had long been removed by Cassia.
"I wonder if you have any thoughts of leaving Wagner? In other words, relying on others to obtain better conditions and benefits, as well as greater rights."
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Ma Duogao's voice was indifferent.
"The situation in Tushini has been noticed, and senior figures in the management organization will start to clean up next. But because officials like Clement and Acheson are involved, actions will be more cautious. You may understand that empire management
There are still some faction differences in the organization. We will start with people like Wagner, but after the purge, Tushini needs to be managed. You who have stayed here for a few years can help a lot with experience.
and buying and selling.”
"Why should I believe you? I can spend tens of thousands of holy coins to hire many writers to write a lot of these words for me."
"Mr. Ma Duogao, it has been several years. Don't you have any doubts about the original siege? According to the procedure, the special operations force will not allow anyone to survive. Have you never thought about it? Wagner asked you to come from the family through the family
Is there anything you don't know about coming out of prison? For example, he has communicated with people from the special operations agency a long time ago, leaving you alone and letting you come out of prison just to gain your trust.
And be grateful. Your mercenary team was only targeting the dark world at first, so there seems to be no reason to be encircled and suppressed, right?"
Seeing that Ma Duogao didn't speak, Cassia stepped back in time: "I hope you can go back and think about it carefully. We will meet again in a week."
After waiting for a few minutes, Ma Duogao saw the black shadow leaving. He checked the inside and outside of the residence before going in. After sitting in the living room for a full hour, Ma Duogao stood up after thinking about it: "Who wants to destroy the house?"
In my current life, whoever is my enemy is my enemy. The other upper-level personnel are naturally handled by Master Clemen and Domain Chief Acheson."
As if giving himself hints and hypnotic words, Ma Duogao walked around the house a few times, then checked around the house again, and then came to the corner of the living room and picked up the communicator.
He adjusted the frequency and waited amidst the "sizzling" electronic noise, but suddenly felt a chill coming from his feet. After waiting for more than a minute, when no one answered the call, he immediately hung up and took a few steps to take out his pistol.
He ran into the room next to him and closed the door.
"This doesn't feel right." He said, immediately putting on all the weapons and equipment that had been kept in the room.
