Chapter 312: Progress
Several Hydra guards stood guard outside the vault door.
Salian strode around the vault, swinging his fists vigorously from time to time, bringing a piercing sound of breaking the air.
His hair, which had been neatly groomed, had now become messy, like a straw wet with water, slumping softly against his forehead. His white skin turned red, and his eyes were full of strange excitement and excitement.
His eyes ...... The originally dark gray eyes had become pitch black at the moment, and the two shuttle-shaped scarlet cold lights in the pupils lit up, making people daunting.
The two Army Generals stood in the corner of the vault, one on the left and one on the right, staring at Joe viciously. Their eyes were excited and fanatical, and they looked like they wanted to wash and peel Joe clean and eat them alive.
Joe's back was pressed against the wall, and he looked at Salian in a state of inexplicable madness.
After a cursory look at the drawings that Laprahi had made, Salian, as well as the two generals, were completely out of control and fell into some kind of inexplicable madness. Joe was so scared that these three guys would do something strange.
For example, killing people and killing people or something......
The strength that Salian showed with a loud roar just now, Qiao thought seriously for a while, he had no strength to resist at all!
"Your Highness?" Joe snorted cautiously.
Salian stopped abruptly, and he turned to look at Joe intently.
Qiao raised his hands with a smile, and then poked his nose with his right index finger: "Look, my business? ”
Salian's eyes widened, a ghostly glow in his scarlet vertical pupils.
He stared straight at Joe for a while and muttered, "Your business? What's the matter? Yes...... That little thing? Don't worry, it's all right...... The feats you have built today, not to mention, have only emptied the treasury of the Whispering Forest Club...... Even if you bloodied the entire Whispering Forest Club, what was that? ”
"The case of the Whispering Forest Club, it's all right."
"You killed the Marquis Solomon...... It's okay. ”
"Actually, the design of the revolver, in my personal opinion, is enough to offset the above two trivial things...... Do you know how much money the empire has invested in guns and artillery over the years in order to give the imperial soldiers a greater advantage on the battlefield? ”
"That's a lot of money, a lot of money that scares people to death."
"But the shameless Junkers in Ruhr, they took the money, and the money went down the drain."
"After fifteen years of astronomical investment, once all the money came into their hands, nothing came of it. Gunpowder, still those gunpowder...... Firearms, still those guns...... Artillery, it's still those artillery......"
"In the past fifteen years, the weapons used by the imperial army have not changed substantially."
"It's nothing more than that the success rate of flintlock rifles has increased a lot, the range of the guns is a little farther, and the caliber of the ship's large-caliber naval guns has increased by a hundred millimeters."
"But, Joe, these drawings are subversive...... Just one revolver is enough to cancel out all your charges. ”
"The rest of the stuff...... If, if it is verified, it proves that they are indeed true. ”
Joe nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true...... I swear with Hesse's beard that those drawings are absolutely fine...... I paid a lot of money to get it. ”
Salian took a deep breath: "Big price...... Can I imagine...... Oh, except for the revolver, all those drawings...... Especially, the all-metal construction of the giant ship...... It's not just about making the empire dominate the seas...... It's more ......"
The two generals took a deep breath and puffed out their chests at the same time.
Salian gasped, his gaze looked at Joe feverishly, and he said in a deep voice, "Joe, you have made immeasurable contributions to the Empire...... You are not guilty, of course, you are not guilty...... Your loyalty to the Empire, your unparalleled loyalty to the Empire...... You deserve a big reward...... It's not just you, it's your family! ”
"Especially, the loyalty you have shown to me personally...... I remembered! ”
Joe blinked desperately...... When did he show his personal loyalty to Salian?
However, since you have said so, then Joe has the cheekiness to admit it...... It can be remembered by a core member of the imperial family who is extremely high in the succession sequence, and a prince with real power who has a huge amount of power...... That's a good thing!
Qiao smiled very honestly, and he said very seriously: "These things can only be given to you to give full play to their value...... When I was framed by someone, when I wanted to get away with meritorious deeds, I thought of you first! ”
Salian nodded in satisfaction, his scarlet vertical pupils glowing even redder.
He stared at Qiao and said word by word: "The drawings here, the specific content, you have to keep it secret...... I will only take out a small part to exonerate you and give you higher honors, and that is enough...... I'll hold the rest in my hands, be as stable as I can, and turn them into imperial strength. ”
Qiao nodded again and again: "You look at it, I don't understand these things, so you look at it." ”
After a slight pause, Qiao said in a deep voice: "However, I am in Tulun Port, and I have intercepted a batch of extremely confidential information...... You have to be careful! ”
Salian's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Conrad's idiot, he didn't hesitate to let a lot of Junkers into the navy in order to compete with me...... Those Junkers, for the sake of profit, they can do whatever it takes...... Especially, when the price paid belongs to the Empire......"
"But, Joe, don't worry, the people around me are different from the people around Conrad."
The two army generals standing in the rear stood upright at the same time, and they said in unison in an unusually solemn voice: "The interests of the empire are above all else, long live the Deren Empire, long live Hydra!" ”
Salian chuckled, he turned around, looked at the pile of drawings neatly stacked in great intoxication, and whispered: "This is power, this is the future, this is hope...... The only thing that breaks my heart is ...... Yes...... Probably, there is something in it, the empire does not have the strength for the time being, build it. ”
Salian said in a deep voice: "Joe, a 30,000-ton all-metal battleship...... Hiss ......"
He let out a strange hissing sound that was too big to pull at the egg, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The span is too big, and there are no workers available in the Empire...... In the whole of Metland, there are no suitable workers to build such ...... 'artifacts'! ”
Salian actually used the word 'artifact' to describe the 30,000-ton all-metal post-dreadnought-class battleship on the drawings.
The two army generals kept nodding their heads, incomparably agreeing with Salian's opinion.
"Smaller...... Smaller...... Let the workers practice their hands! Salian turned around with a tangled expression and stared at Joe very seriously: "A thousand tons, two thousand tons...... Take it easy! ”
"Even if it's a thousand tons, two thousand tons...... It's also the current level of the main battleship......" Salian gritted his teeth and said, "But the defense of the all-metal battleship and the defense of the wooden battleship ...... Also, the power that comes with steam turbines...... And...... The power of a new artillery! ”
Salian suddenly let out a weird 'giggle' laugh, he clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth and said, "So, Conrad's crazy ship-building plan that almost made him fall into the devil in the last two years...... Let him do it. ”
The two Army generals smiled unusually strangely.
Joe looked at Salian...... Tsk, brother of the royal family...... Aren't you supposed to love each other? Is it like Gorkin and Joe who love each other?
Salian, you have such a grim face, what do you think of Conrad?
Salian and Joe while acting at the Royal Bank's Imperial Capital headquarters.
In the southeast corner of Hyderabad, in a black pine forest at the junction of the city and suburbs, under an extremely gloomy ancient castle, Margrethe III and Mata XIII were watching the movement in the torture chamber next door through a thick single glass.
This is a secret stronghold of the Hydra Guard.
As we all know, Blood Kapok Fort is the royal prison of the Deren Empire, and it is a ghost place that is basically impossible to get out of for the rest of your life after entering.
But after many people entered such a Hydra secret stronghold, they disappeared and were never heard from again.
Compared to those who disappeared here, it was actually a great luck to have the opportunity to enter the Blood Kapok Castle.
In the torture room, several iron chains fell from the ceiling, and an old man with gray hair and excellent maintenance was handcuffed to the iron chains, and the whole person was pulled into a 'big' shape, and only the big toes of his feet could barely touch the ground.
A blonde man who was well-mannered and looked like a 'Sven man' stood in front of the old man and smiled very gently: "In the imperial capital antique collection and antique appreciation circle, you are a famous old-timer...... But few people know that in the antique and counterfeit market of the imperial capital, you are the real trader. ”
The blonde man cautiously took out a crudely made crown from a metal box beside him.
"Look at it, do you have an impression? This 'crown of suffering'...... You must be impressed! ”
"Hehe, we invite you over, we just want to ask, is this crown of suffering your handiwork, or is it the work of your outstanding disciples?"
"Of course, with your position and influence in a certain circle, no matter who makes this crown, you must know who the two sides of the transaction are, don't you?"
The old man looked at the blonde man in horror and anger, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I am an imperial noble......"
"Getting here, nobles or something, it doesn't make sense...... Even if you're ...... Royal family! The blonde man politely owed to the old man: "When you get here, it's all the same...... Looks like you're not willing to cooperate? That...... Seeing that you are well maintained, you should not be able to die for a while! ”
The blonde man clapped his hands and smiled softly, "Come on, let the honorable 'Divine Craftsman Goergong', enjoy our ...... here Signature meals. ”
