Chapter 2531 Unstable Changes
For Fang Zheng, the attack on the Imperial Guerrilla Association was none of his business.
But another thing is very serious.
"...You mean the regular ship is missing?"
Looking at the workshop manager in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned, and the latter nodded.
"That's right, we have received news that the regular ship that was responsible for transporting optical krypton machine components has disappeared in the Perth area and is nowhere to be found."
"A regular ship can also go missing? Didn't it crash?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng was also dazed for a while, because Libel is a mountainous country, so unlike the Republic and Empire, the main transportation is by rail, but mainly by airships.
"The military has searched the area where the incident occurred, but no signs of the crash of the airship have been found. At present, it is very likely that it was hijacked. Now the military has issued an air ban in the Perth area, but until now So far there are still no leads."
"I see………"
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
"Which parts are important?"
"It's an order from the empire. If everything goes well, it will be delivered in three months, and the core components provided by Starlight Technology will also be included."
No wonder the military is so nervous. It would be fine if the airship was simply hijacked, but there are components of the Krypton machine on this airship. Although Fangzheng is very sure that these guys do not have core manufacturing technology, just getting the parts It's useless, but attacking an airship with optical krypton components is already considered a serious situation in itself.
"In short, I just want to inform you, and I hope you will be more careful. It is not yet known whether the other party is coming for the light krypton machine, and they may attack the starlight technology. Now the Kingdom Army is doing its best to ensure the safety of the Chase area. It should be fine here."
"Understood."
After getting the news from the head of Madoc's workshop, Fang Zheng returned home, gathered the little girls together, and explained to them what happened.
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Ling seemed rather surprised, while Tiou frowned and remained silent.
"So master, what do you think?"
An Jie silently poured a cup of tea for Fangzheng, then asked.
"At the moment we don't know exactly what's going on. Now we only know that according to the explanation of Madoc's workshop manager, the regular ship that was supposed to arrive on time did not arrive at the port. At first the staff thought it was a delay, but after communicating with the other party There was still no response, so I hurriedly reported it. At first, the military considered it from the perspective of the accident, but after walking along the route, no wreckage was found, so it was judged as missing—of course, as far as the current situation is concerned , is more likely to be captured."
Fangzheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued talking.
"In this way, there are two possibilities. One is that someone pretends to be a passenger and sneaks into the regular ship, and then suddenly attacks others on the way, and then gains control of the regular ship."
After all, the current security measures in this world are not very strict. Fangzheng has also been on a scheduled ship. There are no security measures in modern airports such as body searches, checks and salutes. In this case, if there is any organizational force that wants to hijack a regular ship, it is not impossible.
"What about another possibility?"
Ennaiya also looked at Fangzheng at this moment, and asked curiously.
"That is, the other party hijacked the regular ship through an armed airship——if this is the case, then this is very likely to be done by other countries, and the purpose is likely to steal our core components and the design information of the optical krypton machine After all, not everyone can build airships, and ordinary criminal organizations do not have the ability to manufacture and maintain them. So if this happens, it is likely to be those who are capable of making airships. The country of the country did it on purpose."
Having said that, Fangzheng finished drinking the tea in the cup and stood up.
"And if that's the case, then these guys won't be so stupid as to directly send soldiers from their own country to act. They will most likely hire the Jaeger Corps, so... Fei."
"exist."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Fei stood up.
"Walk with me to the Perth area, steal my things and want to run away, how can it be so easy. Ennaia, Anjie, Ling, Tio, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the workshop——Ennaia, I will leave a group of aliens here for you to command, if any outsiders dare to trespass without authorization, they will be killed."
"Yes sir."
Fangzheng has always been a resolute character. After making a decision, he came to Starlight Technology, greeted Towa, told Towa about the recent events, and asked her if she found out in the company. Report suspicious persons immediately. For Fang Zheng's request, Tova naturally nodded in agreement, and then Fang Zheng drove on the road, took Fei away from Chase, and headed for the Perth area.
Compared with the Chase area, the current atmosphere and form in the Perth area is indeed quite serious and tense. Along the way, not only the soldiers set up a strict blockade, but even stopped the round-trip voyage of regular ships, making the prices here It also rose sharply. It can be seen that the disappearance of the airship carrying the core components is indeed a very big problem for the Libel royal family.
Since the current matter is being investigated by the military, Fang Zheng also went directly to the gate of Harken and met General Morgan again.
"It's really shameless, Mr. Fangzheng."
Looking at Fangzheng, General Morgan seemed a little speechless.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Perth area. If I knew this, I should have found a way to strengthen the security of regular ships..."
"There are indeed some oversights, but for now, these issues can be discussed later."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Our starlight technology will also participate in the investigation, so if possible, can you explain the current progress of the military's search?"
"Well, of course, then..."
"Boom boom."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a soldier walked in.
"Report to the general, there is an envoy sent by Mayor Maybelle who wants to see you."
"Oh? Miss Maybelle?"
Hearing the report, General Morgan nodded.
"Okay, let them meet me."
"yes."
After giving the order to the soldiers, General Morgan looked at Fang Zheng again.
"As you know, at present we have not received any reports or clues about the crash of the flying ship. It can be seen that the possibility of being hijacked is even greater, so we have imposed a strict intelligence blockade on the empire. There are only a few people...well, I'm sorry, but the girl behind you is..."
General Morgan looked at Fei suspiciously, while Fang Zheng chuckled.
"She's my assistant. Don't look at her like this, but she's quite an aggressive kitten."
"Really……………"
General Morgan looked at Fei carefully, and then nodded.
"Fortunately, this possibility has been dispelled at present. Because a certain organization has issued a criminal statement to the Royal Airship Commune and demanded the ransom of the passengers."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned.
"They are not asking to redeem the core components of the light krypton machine, but the passengers?"
"Yeah... This is kind of a relief for us."
General Morgan nodded. After all, if the opponent was just a simple air pirate, then things would be much simpler. Compared with other countries who are deliberately trying to seize the core components of optical krypton machines, it is easier to deal with a hijacked by a criminal organization that is in a daze and asks for a ransom.
"So what about the military's attitude?"
"We still need to think about how to deal with it. Although the other party said they asked for a ransom, it may be a cover-up... In short, everything is still under investigation, but we still have to put human life as the top priority."
"I see."
Hearing the general's answer, Fangzheng nodded.
"Then we look forward to the military's efforts... Fei, let's go."
"OK."
Then Fang Zheng took Fei out of the office, and in the corridor, Fei looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously.
"Are we going to stop like this?"
"Of course not, we must find those idiots as soon as possible."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"Let's not talk about whether this group of air pirates really exists. They are idiots who come here to ask for ransom. If they fail, they will be regarded as an opportunity by other countries. If they send a team to kill the group Air pirates, and then steal the core components, then there is really no way to think about it. Although I don’t know if those guys have the guts, but at least our own things cannot fall into the hands of others. In short, we Still have to keep going.”
"yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fei seemed relieved and nodded slightly. However, at this moment, they saw three young men coming from the opposite side, including a young girl, a coquettishly dressed woman, and a black-haired boy. They were led by the leading soldier to the door of General Morgan. Knocked on the door and walked in. Fang Zheng stared at their backs disappearing, and then withdrew his gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, um... I think that girl looks familiar."
"...Tio told me that this way of approaching people on the street is not popular anymore."
"No, I really think it looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere... Forget it."
Noticing Fili's dissatisfied eyes, Fangzheng shook his head.
"let's go."
As they spoke, the two walked forward again. However, at this moment, suddenly, from General Morgan's office behind them, there was a lion-like roar.
"Shut up! Do you want me to appease you? Give me someone!!"
"I'll go."
Hearing the sudden roar, Fangzheng was also taken aback. They turned their heads and saw two soldiers hurried past and rushed into the room.
Then after a while, I saw that the two women and one man were driven out of the office by the soldiers.
