"Sir, it's great to see you're okay!" Whether it was hypocrisy or pretense, when Second Lieutenant Piping saw Zhang Tie, the look of relief on this slick guy's face really made people feel happy.
Nuan, I couldn’t bear any ill will towards him. Dealing with such a character was what Zhang Tie was good at in Tang De’s grocery store, so when Zhang Tie saw Second Lieutenant Piping, he didn’t treat him politely, but directly
Hooking Lieutenant Pepin's shoulder, he took Pepin to the office.
Zhang Tie has been working as a section chief for two weeks, and this is the first time that Zhang Tie has come to the section chief's office in the repair shop.
The office is decorated in a simple military style, with a table, a sofa, a filing cabinet, and a few structural drawings of steam engines and automobiles hanging on the wall. Other than that, there are no extraneous decorations.
.However, although Zhang Tie has not been here these days, the office is still very clean.
Zhang Tie came to the office and sat down on the sofa, looking at Second Lieutenant Piping.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I know you are well-informed. Let me tell you what happened last night..."
Second Lieutenant Piping also found that this officer who came down from the Iron-Blooded Battalion was different from others. He was easier to deal with. He seemed approachable, but in fact he was harder to fool. As a subordinate, I actually like this kind of officer, Second Lieutenant Piping.
The most fearful thing is the old-fashioned person who doesn't understand anything but wants to take care of everything. If the Ninth Equipment Section had such a section chief, it would be everyone's nightmare.
What Zhang Tie didn't know was that during the two weeks when he didn't come here to see anyone, his indifferent attitude was recognized by the people here, who thought he was a good officer and section chief.
Before telling the news he heard, Lieutenant Piping also looked at the door of the office to make sure there was no one outside. After closing the door personally, he sneakily approached Zhang Tie.
"I have a friend who is in the air defense camp. He said that many people died last night. An important warehouse of our logistics department was blown up by the Glory Feather airship!" Second Lieutenant Piping said in a low voice.
"Is it really an explosive?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.
"It's really an explosive!" Second Lieutenant Piping nodded affirmatively, "I heard that this is the Sun God's revenge on our side, because in the past two days, our crazy shark airship touched it at night
They passed by and dropped several heavy-duty white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs in the battle fort where their headquarters was located. Many people there died and their morale was also hit hard. Last night's action was a glorious act.
Yu’s revenge on us!”
Zhang Tie felt speechless for a while, was it revenge again?
Sometimes there are competitions between countries and between legions. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is no different from a fight between three and five-year-old children. If you punch me, then I must kick you. No one wants to suffer.
It's just that this kind of revenge is more terrifying and bloody than children's fights, and more people will lose their lives in such revenge. The people of the Iron Horn Legion were beheaded, so the people of the Iron Blood Battalion must go up
, and cut off the opponent's head as revenge. The legion's aerial troops dropped heavy white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs on the head of the battle fort where the headquarters was located. So they might as well get an airship over there to provide logistics here.
The base dropped explosives directly, causing the entire Brape to feel restless.
Zhang Tie felt that maybe the battle forts on the front line had been prepared for the sneak attack of the Glory Feathers, so the Glory Feathers, who couldn't find a chance on the front line, extended the battle line to the rear, and suddenly hit Tie Feather.
The key point of the Iron Horn Army. Due to the limitation of transportation capacity, logistics support is indeed one of the key points of the Iron Horn Army.
"Were their airships shot down by us?" Zhang Tie felt that he was a bit of an idiot after asking this question. If the logistics base of the Iron Horn Army, which is more than a hundred kilometers away from the front line, can let the opponent's airship drop a bomb.
If nothing happens and you fly back without any problems, then there will be no need to fight this war.
"Now that I'm down, I feel like I'm in some trouble!"
"Why?"
"I heard that our air defense force did shoot down their airship. Their airship crashed more than 20 kilometers south of Brape. But when our troops arrived there, the other party's airship was on board.
Except for a few people who died, everyone else has disappeared, which is the most troublesome. Now no one knows where the remaining people on the airship have gone." Lieutenant Piping sighed.
.
"We found not many corpses on the airship, which means that everyone else on the airship ran away. This is the most troublesome, because no one knows where those guys are hiding, whether they escaped or returned.
If they stay, if the other party has intelligence officers who are familiar with and lurking in Brape and cooperate with the escapees, no one knows what those people will do next? What if those guys still have an explosion hidden in their hands?
If they want something, maybe they will rush directly to the Parliament Building in Brape and commit suicide bombs!”
The term "human bomb" is not new. For people in the Iron Age, this term is proof of the most tragic and helpless era of human cannibalism before the catastrophe.
After listening to these words, Zhang Tie realized why the atmosphere in Brape suddenly became tense. This was not just because of the explosion last night, but it was also confirmed that dangerous elements from the other side were lurking in Brape.
Somewhere in the city, even though he was wearing a military uniform, Zhang Tie still had his military ID checked three times on the way from going out to the logistics base where he is now, and finally arrived at the "Ninth Equipment Section of the Comprehensive Logistics Support Division"
repair shop.
In order to catch those people, all soldiers from a division stationed in Brape took to the streets today and began to set up checkpoints to interrogate passers-by and check their documents. In this way, even if they cannot catch those potentially dangerous elements immediately, they can at least catch them.
Limiting those people's activity space within a certain range is the only way to deal with those people until they are finally caught or killed.
"Does the Iron Horn Legion have explosives?" The word bomb reminded Zhang Tie of a question that interested him.
"Yes. However, the explosives of the Legion are the most important strategic materials of the empire. Because they are too rare and precious, the receipt and use of all explosives must be personally approved and signed by the commander of the Legion. In the entire Norman Empire, everything
The explosives in the empire are controlled by the royal family. The only two alchemist masters in the empire who can produce explosives, after marrying the royal family, are both members of the imperial royal elders!"
Alchemist, this is someone Zhang Tie has only heard of in legends, and read about it in the book "A Preliminary Study of Human Race's Special Professions in the Black Iron Age" two days ago. Whether in legends or in reality, he is better than Alchemist.
Ten times rarer, it can be called the most mysterious, richest, and most terrifying top profession in the Iron Age.
Many cities in the Andaman Alliance may be able to piece together a few alchemists like Abian, but there is not a single alchemist in the entire Andaman Alliance. These people spend their lives working with all kinds of strange stones and crystals.
When dealing with people, as long as they have a stone in their hand, these people are like omnipotent gods. Stones and crystals are in their hands. They can fight, practice, cure diseases, and even improve the properties of a bunch of metals and machines.
Baby, as long as they pass through the hands of an alchemist, many ordinary crystals and stones can become worth thousands of times, worth more than gold. Because these people really have the ability to turn stone into gold, this profession is called an alchemist. The alchemist
The title is not so much a description of their professional work. It is people's naked envy of this profession.
Alchemists are the only people in this era who can make explosives. A person who becomes an alchemist may be short of everything in his life, but he will never be short of money. Like the Norman Empire, as long as you find an alchemist with a level that can already make explosives
Explosives and the alchemist is in the empire. A direct royal marriage, without a word of nonsense, using blood and family ties to tie that person to the empire’s chariot.
Alchemists have many nicknames - "treasure making machine", "walking vault", "omnipotent stone whisperer", "hot warrior in the era of cold weapons" and "humanoid nuclear bomb". It seems that because of the last
This name has a strong color of technology before the Cataclysm. In many countries in the Blackson Corridor, having an alchemist who can make explosives is regarded as a symbol of national strength and status.
The former Andaman Alliance offered the position of chief minister of the alliance and promised a lot of benefits in an attempt to attract an alchemist to join, but unfortunately it failed.
…
At this moment, almost at the same time that Zhang Tie arrived at this logistics base, in a wilderness more than 30 kilometers south of Brape, the airship that caused huge commotion and losses to Brape last night was now scattered on the ground in dilapidated form.
, this airship used for sneak attacks is painted black. The airship's pod is more than 15 meters long. The 50-meter-long hull has been burned to the point where only a deformed rigid frame is left. The rubberized fiber cloth used as the airship's airbag is now
Except for a small amount of residue, the rest were burned into large areas of dark, solidified carbide, scattered around the pod and airship skeleton. Among the broken airship pods, some corpses wearing aqua-blue military uniforms were even more
Lying in a strange shape.
A group of soldiers from the Norman Empire wearing dark red military uniforms had sealed off the scene. Within the blockade, a group of people in black windbreakers were looking for something among the corpses of the soldiers from the Sun God. Several people wearing imperial uniforms
Soldiers in official uniforms accompanied those people. The surrounding soldiers under martial law also quietly looked at the group of people wearing black windbreakers with strange eyes, looking at the blood-red gloves on their hands.
These men wearing red gloves are the protagonists in all the darkest and darkest stories of the empire. They are representatives of the cold and bloody other side of the Norman Empire. If the soldiers of the empire are a group of tigers, then these people wearing red gloves
The man wearing the gloves is a strange hybrid between the jackals that feed on carrion and the poisonous snakes that spit venom in the empire.
These people come from another powerful department in the empire besides the military - the Imperial Order Review Committee. These people are the "national secret order maintenance police" under the Imperial Order Review Committee.
In Nottingburg, everyone knew that the leaders of the secret police, Viscount Norton and Marshal Lin Changjiang, disliked each other.
Except for their superiors, few people in the entire empire like them.
Because of the explosion last night, these people appeared in Brape like flies that smelled the bad smell. This was originally a matter of the Iron Horn Legion, but these people insisted on getting involved. Let these people intervene.
There are two reasons: first, the explosion is a special national security incident. Except for explosions on the battlefield, the investigation of all explosions in the empire is handled by the Imperial Order Review Committee. Second. According to the laws of the empire, the Iron Horn Legion
The theater jurisdiction over the Karur Theater is only within 100 kilometers of the front line. Brape has just exceeded this range. Therefore, although the victim of the explosion was from the Iron Horn Legion, the Imperial Order Review Committee still
have the right to investigate this.
Because the Imperial Order Review Committee in Nottingburg had drafted the Iron Horn Corps and hoped that the Iron Horn Corps would cooperate with these secret police in investigating the explosion, these people came to Brape, so even if they were reluctant, they were sent to assist these people.
The officers of the Iron Horn Corps could only complete their tasks with a cold face and in a business-like manner. When the other party asked about the situation last night, they informed the other party of the latest actions and findings of the Iron Horn Corps.
The leader among these people wearing black trench coats and red gloves was a major, a man in his thirties with silver-white hair and wolf-like eyes with a certain cold color.
"Major, after our troops arrived here, they surrounded the scene and never moved. On the ground 500 meters away from where the airship crashed, our soldiers found truck tire tracks. That mark
Let's go south. It's estimated that those who escaped will be supported by someone, so we..."
The silver-haired man who had been carefully examining the body had a warm smile on his face. He raised his hand and interrupted the officer who was reporting to him what happened last night.
"Needless to say, I have already guessed what happened next. Your people caught up with the empty truck somewhere more than ten kilometers away. Then no one saw anyone, and then you tracked down the empty truck.
Regarding the origin of the truck, it was discovered that the truck was stolen in Brape a few days ago, and then. You concluded that those who escaped on the airship had fled south, right, Captain?"
A surprised expression appeared on the captain's face, and the language on his face was one sentence - how did you know?
"Captain, congratulations on your success in letting go of the dangerous elements of the Sun God Dynasty. When your attention was attracted by the truck heading south, the remaining saboteurs of the Sun God Dynasty on the airship had already been
Escaped to the north. If you could have changed the direction to pursue us, you might not have anything to do with us now. The spies hidden in Brape of the Sun God Dynasty obviously know what kind of tricks can fool you...
…”
The silver-haired major spoke mercilessly. The captain was so ashamed that he could not speak. The captain was speechless. He was a major of the 21st Division with the captain.
At this time, you can still argue a few more words.
"Our soldiers did their best last night, Major Franke. You just took a look here. How can you be sure that those who escaped from the airship would run north instead of south last night?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Of course I'm sure!" Major Franka from the Imperial Order Review Committee said expressionlessly, then took off the gloves on his hands, stretched out an index finger, and stood in front of several officers of the 21st Division.
He squatted down and inserted his index finger into the head of a corpse on the ground. The hard skull of the corpse was like a piece of tofu under this person's finger.
Got in.
Major Franka stirred the corpse's skull with his index finger inserted into the head, and then pulled out the index finger that was stained with some red and white juice and brain matter, and put it directly into his mouth, as if he was tasting some delicious food.
He closed his eyes and tasted it carefully. Even though the officers of the 21st Division next to him were used to seeing life and death, they still couldn't help but turn pale and feel a little disgusted when they saw this act of tasting the brains of the dead.
The weird smile on Major Franke's face when he tasted the brain was even more chilling.
After a long time, Major Franke opened his eyes and smacked his lips in recollection, "The brains of these people have the smell of bitter stone flowers. This is the effect of a secret medicine from the Sun God Dynasty used on people. After using this
People who plant the medicine will have their body's potential stimulated in a short period of time and their brains will be clear, but their lives will not last too long. This medicine is generally only used on those suicide squad members who take this medicine.
People who grow medicine, in the army of the Sun God Dynasty, their only purpose is to die, not to escape, because running back would be a serious crime for these people. Before coming, everyone on this airship had no
Prepare to go back alive, so they must run north instead of south. Running south will bump into your front line, but running north can these people do the greatest damage. In Brape, there are lurkers
The spies of the Sun God Dynasty are responding to them, and their airship crashed in the south to give you the illusion that they are trying to escape..."
"This is still your speculation!" the major officer of the 21st Division argued forcefully with his face still a little pale.
"The people on the airship all died when the airship crashed. It's impossible for those who escaped to have nothing wrong with them. There must be injured or even seriously injured people inside. They couldn't be treated when they escaped, even if their vitality was higher.
Strong, the injuries of those people will definitely worsen. If the injuries worsen, they will have difficulty moving, and the difficulty of movement will drag down the team. When it is found that the team is being dragged down, in the style of the Sun God Dynasty, those seriously injured people will be dealt with.
As long as we search northward now and avoid the main roads, we will definitely find something..." Major Franka's wolf-like eyes looked at the officers of the 21st Division in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
A slightly disdainful smile appeared on his face, "Your strengths lie in the battlefield. I'm not here to be your counter-espionage teacher. I just hope that if what I say turns out to be correct, in the next step
Within the time limit, before digging out those potential saboteurs, please do not interfere with my actions in Brape. My time is precious, and I don’t want to waste too long on a few insignificant little characters in Brape.
.”
Several officers of the 21st Division held back their anger and glanced at each other, then nodded. Damn it, if the superiors hadn't sent them here, who would be willing to be with these guys wearing red gloves.
Twenty minutes later, the first body was found in a ditch in the wild five kilometers north of where the airship crashed. The body was buried underground, but because it had not been buried for a long time, and because it was It was sold in a hurry at night. Even though the Sun God made some concealment to the people over there, it was still discovered by Major Franke.
In another place less than two kilometers away from this body, a second body was found...
