"Not yet. Kasia replied immediately, and Sotagan lifted his glasses, and the gaze behind the lenses glanced at Kasia and Jetrin.

"It's late, too, and probably nothing will happen tonight. Sotagan said, standing up, "Let's rest first, my assistant Berta will also need a little time to recover from his injuries." Then we'll go first. ”

Seeing Ye Jielin nod, Sotagan stepped out of the room, and Berta followed closely behind him. Only Kasia and Jetlyn were left in the conference room.

"First of all, this is something I discussed with the fat man, and the task can be completed without having to do it. Ye Jielin waited until the door of the conference room was closed, and before Kasia could speak, she said to herself, "I think you already know about the knight squire assessment in a year, right?"

Kasia nodded, Coach Coach had really emphasized this before the mission.

"The fat man will not go, this is his own intention, and even if he has that will, what kind of strength the fat man can improve in a year, he and I, as well as you, can estimate a rough idea in our hearts. The minimum standard is all three stages of surgery, which is when the surgeon is in the real metamorphosis. Some people can get over quickly, but some will get stuck there forever. Surgery is never a smooth thing, just like the students in the military academy, they will still be sorted out of one star to the level of the three-star academy. In the empire, everyone is not created equal, and there are very few things that are fair, and the same is true of the surgeries on our bodies. There will always be people who will be faster in their assimilation than others. ”

Yeterin stared straight at Kasia: "Just like you." ”

Kasia didn't know how to answer, but the actual situation couldn't be told to Jetrin, so she could only nod and admit it.

"The second point, based on what has been said above, is not a short-term cooperation with Sotagan this time. In other words, we won't deal with him again after the matter is over on Ovilla's side. There is a growing sense of urgency for time, and we need more assistants to go further. And Sotagan happens to be a suitable person, he is a well-known black market intermediary agent here, and he will be very helpful to our own business in the future. ”

"In other words, in the future, those products of the factory will be handed over to Sotagan to deal with and sell?" Kasia knew that among the four main members of the alliance now, in addition to Selmer, he and Atohuan, as well as Yeterin, they all already had their own factories and small forces.

"The initial idea was this. Ye Jielin's words are not absolute, "The fat man and I are both born in a merchant family, and we physically retain more or less the talent of being a businessman. But in their respective families, this talent has little effect. That is the last choice of the marginalized people. If you want to seek the huge hidden interests in the family, the chips with weight are still power and strength. ”

"I guess I don't want to be distracted. Ye Jielin laughed, "Especially after seeing you, I think my strength must be greatly improved." Otherwise, if you encounter a situation like Ovilla in the future, the further the operation goes, the more you start to develop the depth of various surgeries, the strength gap will be even bigger. At that time, if you want to make up for the gap in numbers, the price will be much greater. One or two might be acceptable, but if it continues, it's only a matter of time before our little league collapses. ”

Kasia understood part of it, but he knew that it wasn't all, there should be other reasons, otherwise with Jetrin's character and the resources in his hands, it would not be difficult to find someone like Sotagan by himself.

Yeterin bypassed Kasia's staring gaze and tilted her face to the side.

"And with Sotagan, we also have our own advantages. ”

Kasia listened quietly.

"Sotagan's forces have some strength in the dark world, and their business is common for smuggling and arms trafficking. ”

"Just the right match for the nature of the Webley family?" Cassia thought, "We can both get help from the other?"

Ye Jielin shook her head: "Although Webley Arms Company is in a giant position in terms of firearms and weapons, it does not mean that all weapons and ammunition within the empire are manufactured by Webley Company. I think you should understand this reason? It's just the most famous, and then it's much better than the market in terms of quality and technology, after all, there are two standards for firearms and ammunition in the empire, and one standard is called 'standard', which is the standard of the imperial military department. Another criterion is the Webley Arms Company. ”

"When I came here to find Sotagan and propose a partnership with him, I realized that he was not just a black market middleman. In the less prosperous parts of the empire, he also had many of his own factories and workshops for the manufacture of weapons and ammunition. However, the business of smuggling weapons in and out of other countries, or collecting arms from various regions of the empire at low prices and selling them to other regions through their own channels was also carried out at the same time. Sotagan has a story of his own, and he is not willing to be just a well-known black market middleman. When we cooperated, he also said that he wanted to use our strength and identity advantages to let him go further. ”

"And what we can offer him, in addition to the benefits of identity and family background, is technology. ”

Kasia shook his head at this time, he didn't have the technology. He had a factory built by Webley himself, with a complete production line and supporting machines, but the technicians he asked Delya to recruit have not been able to fully grasp the extended process and technical points until now.

Jetlin and Kasia are in the same situation, neither of them is engaged in technology-related personnel, maybe Atohuan will have some ability in communication, but it is also very limited. None of them are technical people, and the people that the military school wants them to be are not technical personnel.

The ones with technology are the Webley Arms Company behind Ye Jielin, and the Infinite Communications Company behind the Atoring Ring. That's what Sotagan values. And Ye Jielin and Atohuan do have the ability to take out some non-core technologies from their family companies.

"Most of the technology used to make weapons and ammunition was stolen from Webley, but the machines and processes are not matched, and it can be regarded as a simplified version. The things that are made are not advantageous in the dark world. Therefore, he values this cooperation, and also wants to make his production line a huge improvement. Jetlin continued, "In the black market, weapons and ammunition may be the most competitive piece of the profit cake. If you want to make your business bigger in it, either the price is terrible to the point of ensuring a certain quality, or it is of high quality, with strong power and stability. Both are technical, and the way is not easy to find. One is to open up the relationship between the imperial military department, you can get enough standard equipment from them, and then flow into the black market to make money. But you also know that this kind of business is mostly done by those officials of the empire, and it will not be easily occupied by others. The benefits granted to them by the Imperial Governing Body were far from satisfying their enormous appetites. ”
