Chapter 817 Chapter 19.04 (Part 2) The man behind the scenes
The southernmost tip of Wanlun Continent, Golden Oak Port. This is the southernmost colony of Anglo-Saxon.
During the war, batches of warships in the naval port were replenished here, and the black smoke from the chimneys made the place full of fireworks.
The international situation changed suddenly, which brought about the prosperity of trade.
Although Anglo-Saxon's military system still exists, due to its distance from the center of the empire, the prosperous trade here is not under the jurisdiction of Anglo-Saxon Whitehall, and a large amount of strategic materials flow out to the opposite side of the empire every month.
The few old battleships of Anglo-Saxon in the port still hold up the facade in the port, singing "God will always bless the king", but in fact everyone is digging into the corner of the empire.
For example, now, the equipment of the rebels in the entire southern continent is getting better and better. The rebels no longer use old rifles with smoothed rifling to resist the empire. With the latest technological innovation in the north of Wanlun Continent, a large number of civilian trucks, welded steel plates, loaded with rocket launchers, and rotating base steel plates for guns have become a headache for various colonial empires.
The colonial officials of Anglo-Valley also "follow the local customs" and began to learn feudal corruption skills. Look, the price of selling an armored vehicle to the regular army of the local vassal regime can buy ten trucks of the same tonnage.
Moreover, the military equipment sold by Anglo is still monkey version! This seriously weakened the military authority of the proxy regime supported by the colonial empire.
Now in the old southern continent, the local warlords who were originally vassal Anglo have to consider the changes in the new era.
"Corruption in the arms trade" is inconsistent with Anglo's imperial policy.
The top leaders of the Anglo-Taro Empire seem to feel that the pie is slipping away. The military and industrial giants in the House of Lords even want to conduct a unified review of the exported industrial machinery through the strategic material control plan.
However, the Anglo overseas merchants don't care about these bans. As for the stability of the imperial colonies, in the eyes of the merchants, that should be the concern of the imperial soldiers. As small businessmen, they just need to make money.
So these Anglo merchants with "adventurous and pioneering spirit" continued to import "civilian industrial products" from Iron Star and Vaner and smuggled them to their colonies.
Obviously, the Golden Oak Port is the hardest hit area. The rats on the dock are fat and fat.
The Anglo colonial empire, which supports puppet regimes in various places, cannot be said to be "fragile in martial virtue". It can only be said that if there are no weapons that are more than one generation behind to maintain the system, their ability cannot deal with the resistance army at all.
There are many engineers with ideals and ambitions in the local resistance army led by Chi De. In the rural factory, civilian cars are equipped with steel tube rocket launchers. Although they are simple, they are not mechanically inferior to regular tanks.
This is just like the scimitars and arrows of the northern nomads. Although they are not as good as the sophisticated armor of the Song Dynasty, there is no generation gap.
Rebels rose and fell in various places. The small nobles knew that the order under the Anglo colonial rule would not last long and there would be problems in the future, so they began to compete in "stealing" and "occupying".
So behind the prosperous trade era of Oak Harbor, there are crazy and strange phenomena full of various patterns.
…In the multidimensional plane, people's hearts are becoming increasingly perverted, which is easy to breed superstition, and superstition will produce mystery...
Detective Fu Huasi from the capital of Anglo is a mysterious master who can't get by in his own country. Of course, after arriving at the southern port, he is making his own money.
In May of the 3253rd year of the Fire Emblem Calendar, he received a case today. After getting off the car in a hurry, he looked at the dead.
The dead were dressed elegantly, and the pocket watch on his body and the ring on his finger were not taken off. His identity was an advocate of economic liberalization in the House of Commons.
However, he died "accidentally" before an important bill was about to be ruled, which aroused speculation from all sides.
That's how the detective was asked to investigate the case.
Fuhuasi wiped his glasses and looked at the compass in his hand.
Because the big compass near the capital of Anglo-Germany was broken, all directions stopped turning. So people could only habitually use the simple compass in their hands to tell fortunes.
Fuhuasi took a deck of cards and looked at the detailed explanation on it: "Under the calm water, huge waves are brewing." He exhaled, this divination was a reminder to himself that it would be dangerous if he continued to investigate.
However, just when he wanted to retreat, he met another person, Yunli. Of course, she was also his senior. As a little detective. Fuhuasi could only inherit his family's small inheritance and pass on magic to detectives.
But Yunli was born in a noble family. The Blue Whale family behind her controlled the industry and was one of the four major military giants in Anglo-Germany. When the black military team brought by Yunli sealed off the entire crime scene, he should have bowed his head to hand over the materials and leave, but suddenly he had a whim and saw a weird smile on the relief in the hall. After rubbing his eyes and looking again, he didn't find it. He suddenly realized that he was inseparable from this case.
So, Fu Huasi took the initiative to step forward and expressed his willingness to assist in the investigation.
However, at the scene of the case, Yunli did not pay much attention to this little detective at first. She only called up the information for discussion and learned that this guy graduated from the imperial capital. Yunli showed him elegant aristocratic etiquette.
Fu Huasi: "This investigation case is taken over by you. The nature is not ordinary, right?" He tried not to be restrained, just like the salesmen in the 21st century wearing suits to maintain a "mainstream" posture.
Yunli smiled: "Mr. Bona, there are indeed some conflicts with the conservatives, but not to the point of assassination." Yunli asked him not to associate and speculate.
Fuhuasi didn't get the inside information, and the pocket watch in his hand trembled. This is a magic-level arcane.
The trembling of the pocket watch made him know that this senior sister had blurred personal information in terms of arcane protection to prevent others from spying.
Fuhuasi pinched the hair on his chin with his fingers, thought for a while, and told Yunli about the abnormality on the relief he had just seen. Yunli immediately stared at the relief, and her eyes were focused and determined something.
Fuhuasi took out the compass he brought when he came here to divination. The hour hand suddenly broke while turning. He paused and looked at the direction the broken needle pointed to.
Yunli: "Your magic is very good."
Fuhuasi: "I just don't want that thing to target me." After saying that, he asked the "system gem" in his heart.
...The closure of the multidimensional plane made other travelers in the main world very curious. Haotu naturally learned about it through the "probe". Of course, this kind of probe is irrelevant to the current multidimensional battle situation. …
Six hours later, the two came to the direction pointed by the pointer. It was an abandoned park. Because the dam collapsed ten years ago, seawater poured in. It would be periodically flooded by the tide and turned into a muddy beach. In the center of this park, there is a building. The leather boots stepped on the mud, which made the people investigating here feel uncomfortable.
But soon, Yunli discovered something and immediately asked people to retreat. However, at this time, an unknown monster with festering skin and flesh suddenly emerged from the mud in front. This dirty and unclear thing pounced on it, bringing with it the smell of mud, which immediately made all the members of the investigation team feel panic.
They pulled the guns, but the bullets could not kill these mud monsters. However, as the beam swept over, these mud monsters all lost moisture and turned into dry and cracked sculptures.
The beam came out from a hexagonal crystal in Yunli's palm. However, Yunli, who easily solved all this, looked very serious. She murmured: "Bad demon." However, her hands were not slow. The silver cross dart inlaid with gems appeared in her hands. As the spell flashed, the dart turned into silver light and nailed towards the evil creature.
"Demons" are the lowest level of the abyss, and are organisms that have failed to mutate. The appearance of demons in the mortal world means that someone is conducting demonization experiments, and this is where the failed products are placed.
Fu Huasi saw something glittering on the mud monster. After he picked it up and looked at it, he found that it was a ring. He immediately thought of something and told Yunli his guess.
This ring is a pair with the ring worn by the assassinated Bona, so the predecessors of these demons just now may be Bona's family.
Yunli silently judged in her heart: the abyss demons may have contacted Bona a long time ago, but obviously they have used Bona recently and started to clean up.
This case is considered to be closed, but there are deeper secrets behind it, making everything more mysterious.
Yunli didn't know that these demons avoided her when they attacked, and she didn't know that Bona had contacted one of Fen Zheng's assistants before his death. If she continued to investigate, it would hurt the relationship between the brother and sister.
