Then came the time for each to introduce the number and quality of the personnel on this dispatch, and Novis listened to the others at the table, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile.

"Sure enough, it's just a show, after seeing this information. Of course, when it was his turn, the original team of 200 people was suddenly reduced to 80 people, and on his own side, which would have been led by Lieutenant Cob and Dennis, was now only Cobb alone.

"A noble young master who ran to Tucinny to avoid the trouble caused by his family? Novis shook his glass and thought that the food on the table in front of him was not enough to whet his appetite. Of the food he ate at every meeting, it was probably only the various drinks that each person brought in turn to make him feel better. After all, these things are high-end goods bought from the city of Amoutan. As for the Tusini region, apart from the fact that there are many kinds of workpieces processed by many factories, and there are some expensive things among them, there is no special feature.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the crowd dispersed from the hotel. It wasn't until the limousines left the parking lot or the side of the road that Dyer walked out of the restaurant opposite. Wearing a very ordinary dress, the outfit on her face does not make her look beautiful and her face is too attractive to the eyes.

"Deputy Commander. A middle-aged man walked from the side, his hair was half dyed white, and he was also wearing thick clothes, "The style and details of the vehicle, as well as the license plate, were all written down, and their driver or housekeeper also took pictures from the hidden place, and a few hours after they returned, they could make a complete information sheet." ”

"It's hard work, you go back first, and this place will be over. I have other places to visit, so I won't be with you. Dyar nodded at the middle-aged man, "Also, don't forget about the factory here, that's the focus at the moment." ”

"Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and please rest assured that the deputy head of the regiment is also reassured. The middle-aged man laughed and quickly disappeared under the street lamp.

Dya then glanced at the time, and it was still half an hour before eleven o'clock. She looked left and right, and walked down the street for about three or four hundred meters before she came to a clothing store that had not yet closed, and looked around with interest to see the new clothes that had not kept up with the trends of other prosperous regions.

"Waters, how's it going. Hesley gently placed the tonnage weight on the ground, wiped the sweat from his bare upper body with a towel, and adjusted his breathing and asked, "It doesn't seem to be going very well with your appearance." ”

Waters didn't answer immediately, quietly walked to the table and sat down, took the cup there and brought himself a glass of wine. There was a worried look on his face, and compared to the smile of the previous two months, this originally healthier face has aged more and more in a short period of time.

Waters is eager to do a good job in the Kingdom of Chir, and it has been almost a year since he came here, and it has definitely been a relief for many people for a long time. At least in the arms business, relying on quality and very little profit, it quickly grabbed a part of the inherent market. Later, he built a factory in the local area to copy the technology of the Webley Arms Company, and relied on a few local nobles with power and strength, although there was a time difference from the original plan, but the original goals were generally achieved.

Of course, the process is not very good, a small number of people are killed, and they are often attacked by competitors, and it is common to be constantly depressed by those buyers. Of course, the arrears of the cost of weapons and ammunition agreed in the agreement, and offsetting them with something worthless, have all become Waters' daily routine.

The situation quickly improved when Hesley rushed here alone from the Empire. The way of dealing with troubles is completely different from Waters, Hessley always chooses the easy method, of course, the premise is to determine to Waters whether the goal is still worth staying. Hesley himself likes to use these things in his workout routine to keep himself from forgetting something important.

Waters shook his head at this time, not knowing how to explain to Hesley: "How to say it、、、" Waters drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, "It's not that things are not going well, this time a large order for weapons and ammunition has been signed, and half of the deposit has been paid on the spot, which is definitely not the case before." And there is another important thing, today, those people actually took the initiative to tell me that they are willing to provide funds to help us build a few more factories to speed up the production of artillery and imitation armored vehicles. ”

"Unusual behavior. ”

"It was indeed an unusual move, and immediately after the discussion, I contacted the people who gathered information from various places. The side that launched the rebellion, seemingly supported by its neighbors, was gathering forces for a real war on the side of the royal family. ”

"Isn't it better to do this, because there is a war and there is a huge consumption of all kinds, especially in weapons and ammunition. We are also one of the main suppliers of weapons and ammunition on the King's side, and the more of these things the better on the eve of the war. And if possible, I'd suggest you remind them on the side that you can smuggle some high-quality heavy firepower out of the Empire and provide it to them. That would give us a good profit, albeit with some risk. ”

I don't mean that, I mean something else. ”

Hesley put the towel on the back of the chair, walked over and poured a full glass for Waters, then took out another glass and poured himself a glass: "Waters, in the Steam Knights, you and Dyrea are the deputy commanders, and I am the chief knights. plus the head of the regiment, a total of four people. Although not long ago, Delya's side said that the Knights had been disbanded, but the relationship is still here. You have to remember that while we are working for our own survival, we are also working for the Order and the Captain. It's all mutual, and only in this way, no matter where it is, can a structure be built stronger and stronger. ”

"You're worried that the King's side will be defeated by the rebels. "I don't think it's necessary. We've always been here to make a decent amount of money as smugglers, on cheap and quality products that are a step higher than those of our peers, and that's it. If you're worried that the rebels will attack us if the King's side fails, don't even think about it. For it is certain, and you know it abundantly well in your heart, that is when we will leave the kingdom of Chir once and for all. We are businessmen, and we are businessmen of weapons and ammunition, and we don't see much sunlight, so we can't care about what happens to our long-term customers. It has nothing to do with us, so it's a big deal to look elsewhere. ”

Waters shook his head, his expression still unsoothed.

"It's a lot of energy and effort here, but a lot of things are like that, there's no way around it. All we can do is hope that next time we will be lucky, and the customers we find are like rebels. "One more thing, Deputy Head of Waters, look farther, businessmen are here to do business, and where there is a need, we are there." Don't feel guilty that the weapons and ammunition we make will kill a lot of people. But here, you can deceive yourself a little, maybe one day, it is the weapons and ammunition we make that make the war end, isn't it just to save more people?"

"The head of the regiment will need more and more help in the future, Waters, you and I have to keep up. You know who I am, and when I was in the family, I had the opportunity to come into contact with some information about the last war. In my opinion, the so-called war in the Kingdom of Chir is a small encounter compared to the Empire. The military power here is not worth mentioning at all in the face of a real war machine. On the Imperial side, a full fleet of ordinary cruiser-class airships with ammunition supplies can bomb all military targets and heavy firepower areas in the Kingdom of Chir into ruins in a matter of days, without even having to send ground troops to clean it up. ”

Hesley finished drinking and put down the glass: "Dya said that the regiment commander has graduated from the military school. There are some things that you don't know very well, but here I can tell you that in the future, the regimental commander will face these things, those formations of airships, and the regular army, and the army of surgeons that we are not able to handle now. Development is still far away, and our current situation is, at best, a private force with the qualifications of an inheritor among the four forces. ”
