The discussion continued into the evening, and finally Waters left here with deep contemplation. He had the heaviest task because he was an outsider, and he had not been in the Chil Kingdom for a long time. When he came, the two were already at war.
But the situation is still within control.
It is a difficult task to make senior officials within the king's influence trust him. After all, trust cannot be established in a short time. It takes time and the occurrence of some things to promote and run in. Hessler wants to go there immediately
, Cassia gave a four-day buffer time, during which Waters would test with several familiar people who have the right to speak to determine the ideal time to start the war in his heart.
The next day, Cassia drove a limo around the Miklos area and experienced a completely different feeling from inside the empire. The closer he got to the rebel forces, the more panicked the people on the street looked.
There were also people marching, but they all supported the king's side and hoped to attack the other side and rescue the people on the other side.
These have never been seen before in the empire, and Cassia has no good comments about it. No one in the empire will listen to these words, and the four forces do not need their support. The size is different, and the situation is probably the same.
There won't be any places that are the same.
It was noon the next day after returning, and Waters had already arrived at the capital of the Chil Kingdom. He used business matters as an excuse to start part of the plan. Hessler was still immersed in exercise, and Cassia spent the afternoon reading.
, is also thinking about the new-faced official, who is most likely the reason why the man from Charlotte came here, and the things behind him.
It feels like the breakthrough is there. If you can know some of the information and don't talk about the danger, at least it will bring a lot of benefits to yourself. But there is another voice in my heart that strongly opposes this, and Cassia finally chose
Without asking, it is obvious that what happened to Charlotte involves a vast area, from the Kingdom of Bolanton to the Kingdom of Chil, with several small countries in between.
On the fourth day, Waters contacted back and explained the situation: "He was very strict and did not disclose any information. But later when talking about the delivery time of some orders, not only one person, but several others emphasized that it must be sooner."
The better. Maybe we can get some news from here. If we are really ready to start a war, it will probably be between three months and half a year."
"Then adopt another plan and have people reveal the news to people close to them. It doesn't matter which method is used, and it doesn't matter whether they are suspicious or not. As long as there are more people who know the news, we won't be afraid that the king's forces will not send people to investigate. We
The real-time situation of the investigation there will be communicated to you immediately, just disclose it to them in the same way."
"Are you leaving?" Waters asked.
They left on the morning of the fifth day. They simply disguised themselves and drove a modified limo from Miklos. The journey would take about four days to reach the battle line between the two parties. At that time, they could not
Then use the limousine, set up a blockade on both sides, and have daily patrol teams. There will be small frictions there from time to time, and no one will go there except the enemy.
On the third day, Cassia and Hessler passed by a small town. Public security was at its lowest point due to the internal war, especially for those who had not evacuated. Although the army would patrol back and forth in these areas, the scope involved was vast and the energy was wasted.
Although they are widely scattered, there are still some people who would choose this time to do something like a bandit.
Those are people who entered the fighting area, picked up uncollected firearms and came back by luck. With weapons, both courage and self-confidence seem to have been greatly improved, especially firearms, which can be brought out with one shot after aiming.
Taking away people's lives is a good opportunity for them to make money, but they accidentally met Cassia.
I wouldn’t mind taking a minute or two to stop. These things happened from time to time along the way. By noon on the fourth day, the only thing left on the road covered with steel tracks was the limo driven by Cassia. It was surrounded by people.
The recent spring rain failed to cleanse the scene after being eroded by gunpowder smoke, but only added to the filthy feeling.
He abandoned the limousine in a desolate town and buried it with the ruins of a building. Armed with weapons, Cassia looked at the surrounding houses that had grown yellowing moss over time and shook his head. This place was rebelled a year or two ago.
The town occupied by the forces was later captured by the king's side and used as a small stronghold for advancement. Those buildings that could be used for rest were repaired by the king's side's troops themselves.
There is a protected cemetery next to the town, but it is now overgrown with weeds and plant remains left in the winter that were not decomposed by microorganisms in time. In a large area, the tombstones are dry wooden boards covered with moss, or are shaped like wooden boards.
Regular building blocks spread all the way to a lifeless grove far away before stopping.
During combat, corpses are generally disposed of in this way. The same is true within the empire, where local materials are used. Of course, if the corpse of the surgeon can be recovered, the empire will not mind spending manpower and material resources.
Large and small earthbags have appeared in front of you. Looking eastward, you can see a plain-like gap. Hessler said that there is an important checkpoint, with nearly ten thousand troops stationed. It is a logistics location.
, it occupies the advantage of the terrain, is easy to defend, and can also provide quick assistance to the leading attacking troops. Before Waters and him came to the Chil Kingdom, the battle there was the most intense in the recent period.
"But we definitely can't go that way. The last time I went there was through the mountains behind this piece of earth. The mountains are very long, running through two-thirds of the Qil Kingdom in almost straight lines, and only half of the ore resources are there.
Concentrated in the area in front of the foot of the mountain range. Our destination also needs to follow the mountain range, but it goes deeper." Near evening, Hessler stood on a steep slope and said, "The Kingdom of Chil is also relatively developed.
Good, but coal is still used, especially when such resources exist. The penetration rate of electricity is far less than that of the empire, so industrial cities are mostly concentrated near these areas, like Miklos, which can be regarded as next to each other on the map."
"There are many open-pit mines, and there is no company like Imperial Mining. Mining relies on construction machinery." Hessler told Cassia about the last time he went to the rebel forces. "If you go fast, we will be there in two days."
You can get to that location, where I fought a surgeon from the rebel forces. I will talk more about mechanical modifications on the way. In fact, there are such surgeons in the empire, but the proportion is too small. They should be surgical resources.
It’s because it’s more developed than here.”
While speaking, Cassia suddenly raised her head. In the next ten seconds or so, lights of different colors flashed across the dusky sky, and the sound of "chichi" was suppressed. Three small black shadows slowly passed through the air.
Over their heads, flying towards the direction they came from.
"Jet aircraft, a common flying tool in small countries, are a bit like airships in the empire. Only some use steam power and some use liquid high-energy fuel." Hessler took a look and said, "You can be
It is a red-tube aircraft in the empire, and of course it is also a version with extremely reduced performance. Those that use steam are fine, but those that use high-energy fuel, if you encounter a sniper with good eyesight, plus a heavy sniper equipped with special bullets,
Flying low is like a moving firework." (To be continued)
