Thousands of sparks

Chapter 170 Deviation
Facts have proved that Newsale's overall estimate of Saxony has been greatly biased.

Both Dusande and Lieutenant General Horn believed that the Duke of Saxony should have the ability, determination and means to organize forces to complete the counterattack as soon as possible, and finally complete the control of Saxony.Brigadier General Philip pessimistically believed that there might not even be a living person left on Saxony who could stand and walk.

But when the fleet arrived at the Redstone interstellar landing site, Dushan was still taken aback by the sight in front of him.

Redston looked... hilariously unnerving.

It's not that a group of enthusiastic Redstone people suddenly lined up at the interstellar landing field to welcome them, nor are they some senior officials assigned by the top leader of the local ruling organization to approach.

What Dushan saw through the porthole was the sudden artillery fire towards the Redstone interstellar landing site.

Obviously, no matter who is firing at the interstellar landing site, their purpose is very clear-to destroy the landing ship, or simply destroy the interstellar landing site.The bombardment of Redstone's interstellar landing field was densely fired, but... the power of the artillery fire was weak.

According to Duchamp's judgment, most of the artillery that fired at him should be field guns with a caliber less than three inches equipped by the army.There are no armor-piercing shells, and the explosive charges in the high-explosive shells are not too full.Not to mention penetrating the outer armor plate of the capital ship, these artillery can't even blast the concrete floor on the landing site.

The enthusiastic artillery preparations went on for a full 2 ​​minutes, and then Dushan saw a large group of people rushing out from the east and west sides of the interstellar landing site.They charged to the landing site on foot, and five minutes later, the observation post sent an observation report.

The two groups of people rushing out from the east and west sides bypassed the capital ship of the Newsail Expeditionary Force that landed on the interstellar landing field, and then fought with each other.

As soon as the enthusiastic Saxon people landed in Duchamp, they showed the naval commander how to use cold weapons to kill each other after preparing artillery fire.

Yes, after the preparation of the artillery, this group of "soldiers" who jumped out and ran for about 10 minutes before touching each other held cold weapons such as sickles and spears, picks, hammers, and even crowbars. .Their fighting was merciless, and even looked extremely cruel.These soldiers who fought each other killed or were killed without hesitation, and no one took a step back.

"This is really... impressive." Duchamp stood behind the porthole in amazement. From the analysis of this scene, it is not difficult to see that the previous so-called "firepower preparation" is likely to be missed - the opponent did not have it at all. Spotted the landing of the fleet of the Newsail Expeditionary Force.

As the commander of the tank regiment of the National Army, Rosen looked at the scene outside, and then asked in a low voice, "General, these enemies only need one tank charge to be defeated."

In order to ensure Dushan's safety, Rosen and his tank regiment followed the landing ship and landed on Saxony in the first batch.At the same time, there are more than 300 former armed guards who have seen blood and fought head-on with the church steam knight.This group of armed guards was directly absorbed into the nascent Nusaal National Army and was reorganized into a teaching regiment.

A combination of [-] well-trained soldiers and [-] tanks...on the flat hardened road, about one or two thousand people fighting each other with cold weapons.Of course, Newsale's side is fully dominant, and even the favorable conditions are a bit too much.

Rosen believes that if he can't quickly defeat all the opponents, it will be regarded as his own improper command.

"Don't get involved in these people's battles too early." Duchamp thought for a while, and then rejected Rosen's proposal, "They like to fight each other, this is their freedom. Before you figure out what these people belong to It is better for us to wait and see what happens before the power comes out."

After rejecting Rosen's suggestion, Duchamp issued an order to the fleet, "The fleet will enter the interstellar landing field in rotation for ventilation and normal replenishment, and the army will disembark to set up guard posts and defensive positions. If there is no direct attack, no fire is allowed."

"Next, let's see who is in charge of this place." Enjoying the fresh air forced into the hull through the pipe, Duchamp sat down in his seat and began to drink a cup Lukewarm surrogate tea, "The faction that came to contact us first is probably the strongest in this area."

Ten heavy wooden chests arrived in Orin with Dusand's second order.

The second order gave a more detailed description of Dusand's "Second Form of Financial Warfare", and the ten wooden boxes contained the "ammunition" needed for this battle - a total of 200 million gold pound cash.

Each banknote has a face value of 1 gold pound. According to Dusand, part of these funds will be used as the capital of "Olin Development Bank", while the other part will be used for Lorraine to rent or purchase office space and hire personnel used.

But Lorraine herself did not have this "consciousness". She decided to use the surplus funds of the Central Special Branch to do these things.

Central Teke is not a money-burning unit, it is actually very profitable.

Under the leadership of Lorraine and Schultz, Central Teco's monthly funding of [-] gold pounds is not only useless, but even a lot of income.These incomes mainly come from the "contribution" of Olin's Central Special Branch members.

Most of these members who participated in the Central Special Branch operation have quite a lot of family property in Olin, and they have almost everything from enterprises to storefronts.After joining the Central Special Branch, their energy has to be concentrated on the work of the Central Special Branch.This has caused some troubles for their family property operations.

These industrial operations require manpower, and those members of the Teco from poor backgrounds who were originally active around Olin became the top candidates-after all, they also need a safe cover.

And these poor-born members of the Special Branch, who have been dealing with three religions and nine streams all year round, have shown incredible working ability in their new "jobs".In order not to attract too much attention, these industries managed by the Central Special Branch have handed over the extra income beyond the original income level to the Special Branch for funding.

The extra income in these three months alone was as much as 16 gold pounds.

Moreover, Lorraine herself plans to make the last part.

She is now almost completely cut off from her parents.But I don't know if her parents are worried that she will be bullied by others, and in Lorraine's bank account, there are thousands of pounds transferred every month.With these funds and the "hotel" she opened on the streets of Olin to conceal her identity, Lorraine now earns at least [-] gold pounds a month.

Yes, Lorraine is now a "rich little girl" through and through.And the idea of ​​opening a "hotel" was given to Lorraine by Schultz.

The so-called "hotel" is a "platform" that mainly sells hourly rooms, drinks, light meals, and other "props" for profit.In other words, Lorraine's "hotel" is a fast hotel specializing in the business of wandering warblers.

Of course, such a hotel is not suitable for a serious girl, so Lorraine usually entrusts Schultz to take care of the business.The reason for this kind of business is also very simple, it is really suitable for the structure of the Central Special Branch.

The members of Central Teco are located in almost all industries and positions throughout Olin.Whether it's the police or the navy, hooligans or street vendors, or even the students and miners of Imperial University...their jobs and identities are very different. If they often go to the same place without proper cover, such an institution is almost useless The sky will be exposed.

But "hotels" are different.In a social environment in the empire that is extremely relaxed for men, it is not surprising to come out to eat some "fast food", no matter how old or young or married or not.At the same time, it is not surprising that women... especially women at the bottom of society often engage in sex work regardless of whether they are married or not.

According to Olin magazine or newspapers, as long as the lower-level women in the empire have the opportunity, they will look for a "place" to sell prostitutes to subsidize their families.Therefore, in Lorraine's hotel, no matter whether the agents are male or female, they can come in and out safely at will, and at the same time, they don't have to worry about being targeted by Olin's heraldry management office.

On the other hand, listening to these rooms not used by members of the Special Branch can occasionally yield some very valuable intelligence.There are also many organizations that tend to use this kind of room that is not easy to be noticed, and conduct certain transactions and connections.And listening to them, you can often get some interesting news.

For example, a mid-sized bank called Olin Commercial Bank is currently looking for a buyer.

Olin Commercial Bank is a banking company belonging to a certain noble family. Although it also focuses on fund brokerage as its main business scope, they also have securities investment and financial leasing businesses.The business operation is not excellent, but at least it belongs to the state of "passable".

This commercial bank can probably contribute about 30 gold pounds in profit every year, and the total other assets of the bank are about 140 million gold pounds.

The two people who rented rooms at the Lorraine Hotel belonged to two different banks, and they were negotiating to buy the Olin Commercial Bank with bids of 110 million and 110 million pounds - willing to buy the same bank at this time Not much, and the two bids were enough to scare away many other potential buyers.And the price of 110 gold pounds is probably enough for this great noble who is eager to sell assets to think about it.

According to the verification of Central Teco, Olin Commercial Bank is indeed the property of a Marquis family.And this unlucky Mr. Marquis, because of his close relationship with the Belford family, has also become the subject of close investigation by the Olin Coat of Arms Management Office.Mr. Marquis quickly decided to sell assets to raise funds, and then bought a way out for himself and his family.

That being the case... then there is no reason not to buy it, right?
