Wearing casual clothes and carrying the iconic lute on his back, Olibat arrived at the black and silver steel Doluray. Perhaps it would be better to call him Olivier.
I came to Luray University of Technology in the name of visiting Schmidt. Of course I didn't see Dr. Schmidt who I was supposed to visit. Instead, I came to the experimental building and walked into the laboratory of a visiting professor.
Seeing the homework assigned by Ling to Class 6, the blond young man couldn't help but complain.
"Although the practical training of the special class has been entrusted to you, you are too messy. These tasks you assigned are not normal at all!"
"I also have my own considerations."
"Moreover, students from the military academy are still asked to collect debts. How will other people view them? Wouldn't it be better to have more tasks of finding cats to collect medicine and repair street lamps?"
Ling heard Olibat say this and glanced at him sideways.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. When interacting with ordinary people, we should use a gentler approach, right?"
"I changed my mind."
"What?"
"Three days is too little time. Intelligence collection is barely enough, but if you want to understand the true situation of a place, how long do you think it will take?"
"So this is the problem? But it's not appropriate to assign those tasks, right?"
"Well, you've convinced me. It's indeed inappropriate. But you don't have to worry. They are a team with calm judgment. Even if I neglect it for a moment, they can make corrections very well."
Ling turned on the recording device, and an audio recording came out. It was the conversation between Tova and Angelica discussing which tasks to take on.
"Are you spying on them?" Olibat looked a little unnatural.
"This is also the original function of arcus. Your echo shell can also do similar things."
"I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Guide communication is too convenient, especially after it is miniaturized and integrated into the tactical force guide. If in the hands of criminals, it will become a powerful weapon. Although the government has not noticed it yet, we can
Take advantage of this intelligence advantage."
"Hey... isn't this good..."
"You want to say 'infringement of personal privacy'? At present, no country on the continent of Semlia has enacted any laws regarding Direct Communication. There is an internationally renowned barrister in the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture. I am looking for him specifically.
He has confirmed the information in this regard."
Oribat was still a conscientious person, so he felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Ling's indifferent words. But knowing that he could not change the other person's mind, he did not continue to find trouble on this topic.
"How are you doing there?" Ling asked Olibat about his progress in developing his own power.
"Should I say there is no progress... After all, times have changed. Even in the name of recruiting security guards for martial arts competitions across the country, some unemployed and idle people were recruited. There are not even 2,000 stragglers in the six major cities combined.
, and if one-tenth of them can be used after training, I should enjoy it secretly."
"After all, the guided force revolution has gone so far. Although the martial culture still exists, wars between countries no longer require individual force. Guided guns and guided cannons are the mainstream on the battlefield."
"I take it for granted. It seems that as you said in the past, winning over the generals of the regular army is the shortcut to controlling one's own power." With Olibat's personality, he would not do anything to suit his liking, win over, or win people's hearts.
But if you want to fight against the darkness of the empire...sometimes you have to give up something for the real goal, for example, face.
"I can only give suggestions in this regard. After all, I think my theories are mostly nonsense." Ling scratched her nose in embarrassment, "It's different from those rotten politicians in Crossbell.
, Imperial soldiers cannot simply be bribed with Mira. Justice, honor, tradition, virtue, both generals born from nobles and generals born from civilians value these very much."
"This is a perfect test for me. The generals who can be bribed with Mira are just worms in the Imperial Army. I disdain their company."
Ling took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to Oribat. It recorded the experience, family members, personal preferences and other information of most of the generals of the nineteen mecha divisions of the Empire's regular army. This was her convenience in using the Kingdom of Shadows.
It should be said that Ling was surprised. There was almost nothing to do with the officers who served as generals in the Imperial Army. Although there were some people who took it seriously, there were only a few in single digits who had ever done something wrong.
For example, let alone corruption and bribery, almost everyone is a model of strict self-discipline. Even if they have different opinions, they are all out of mutual patriotism.
"Although I don't think it can be of much help. The only one who can defeat the Imperial Army is probably the Imperial Army itself."
After the results, Olibat went through the catalog carefully.
"It's already helped a lot. The four famous families only control six mecha divisions... It's less than I expected."
"The third and fourth most powerful combatants are all directly loyal to the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister. In addition, although they are not directly controlled, in the name of government representatives and with the authorization of the emperor, the ten mecha divisions besides the first are also
Under the control and command of Osborne. For the sake of balance of power, Ogua, it is more appropriate for you to try to win over the ten mecha divisions in the name of the royal family. Of course, I am not saying that you and the noble faction should
The reformists who join forces to fight against the prime minister, but after all, the four famous families are not monolithic. For Ogua, Rogner and Haynes are both worthy targets, right?"
"It's okay to say that Roger...the eldest son of the Haines family, I remember he is the chief of the Jolet District, right?" Olibat said with concern.
"Are you worried that he and Osborne are very close? Well, it is not impossible. But do you think that after all, he is still the heir to the four famous families and the future marquis? Even if we cooperate well now, he may have to take sides in the future.
The reason. Of course, I’m just talking casually, and I don’t know much about the specific situation in Chasarante State, so you can just listen to it as if it’s a lie.”
"Ling, didn't you grow up in Shasarante State?" Olibat asked a little strangely.
"They're just the children of a landowner in the countryside. I haven't even been to Saint-Jacques a few times. I don't know what the big shots above think. Compared to the Haines family, I still prefer the Rogner family.
More familiar. After all, Luray is where I have lived and worked in the past few years." The forged identity back then has never been revealed. As time goes by, it seems to become more and more like a real person. Even if it is
When Ling's birthplace is mentioned, he will naturally respond to others as Shasarant instead of Crossbell.
Then Ling and Olibat talked about the Red Wings. When he heard that the chief engineer was Tieda Russell, Olibat seemed quite surprised. Although he knew it when he was in Libel
That child is a very outstanding technician, but I didn't expect that she could already achieve this level.
"With Dr. Erica and Mr. Dan who are involved in El Seyu, don't worry about the engineering issues. By this time next year, you will probably be able to soar over the imperial capital on the Karejas. The trouble is still with the Republic.
Side's reaction. If they learn that the Kingdom of Libel is helping the Erebonian Empire to build the most advanced air cruiser, the Republic of Kalvad will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely make some excessive demands on the kingdom. But then
This is the problem that the Queen and the Crown Princess of Libel are worried about, and it has nothing to do with us. I think Chase Central Workshop will not be forced to hand over all core technologies to the Republic under pressure... It is most likely Urnu.
Club."
"It seems that my willful demands have caused trouble for Coladia and the others." Oribat said with a wry smile.
"You don't have to feel bad about it. The grandfather and grandson must have considered this level of things when they accepted the train ticket as a bargaining chip. Queen Liber, who is famous for her diplomatic skills, must have weighed the pros and cons before agreeing.
There is also a new toy that came down, which was invented by Dr. Erica."
Ling then explained the existence of the individual aircraft to Oribat. As for this thing that could change the shape of war, even Oribat, who was not a war madman, realized the huge value contained in it.
The two of them plotted like this for a whole afternoon, until the sky turned dark, and then they left downtown Luray with their respective gains.
