This Terra is a little weird.

In other words, not only did they kidnap people, bah, but they also asked people to invest, and they also let the investors play supporting roles. How brilliant!

It's simply wonderful!

Comrades, see, this is emotional intelligence, this is called reasonable use.

Which TV station dares to broadcast this film?

Definitely give it a bad review!

"Alina, change the channel. If you don't, I'm going to wash my eyes with promethium."

"It's not that bad, is it? They acted really hard."

"I really worked hard. If you pay me, I will do my best. I even showed them what acting is like on the spot."

"Achen, if you go, the magical girl movie will turn into a war movie."

"Is it that exaggerated? Is it possible that my name has been associated with war?"

“That’s what everyone says.”

"Alas! I just want to live a quiet life, but troubles keep coming one after another."

"Of course we will. As long as we are together, troubles are no longer troubles."

"Wow, you really are. I'm crying. Alina, let's get married here and hold the wedding later."

"Okay, we'll change our nationality to Syracuse, and you can marry everyone at once."

"This is not possible right now. How can you change your nationality just like that? Besides, it was not easy for you and Tallulah to come to Longmen. It will take a long time to change your nationality."

"So, you have to be patient. We have been living together forever. Besides, even if we don't have a wedding or a marriage certificate, we will not separate."

"Ah, it feels so good. Now, I have a stable job and someone who loves me. If not... I really want my life to be so ordinary."

"Aren't you going to take another step up?"

"No, Alina. It's not that I don't have ambition. I've lived for a long time, seen a lot of things, and reached heights that ordinary people can hardly imagine. But in those memories, I had no concept of happiness. All I had to do every day was to shoot bullets and knife tips at traitors and aliens. It wasn't until now, when I was with you, that I knew what happiness was."

Alina touched his head and said, "Well, everyone is very happy."

"Things will never be over, but troubles can disappear and stability can be achieved. For us, I will do my best."

"Tired?"

Luo Chen turned over and looked at Alina's face: "Tired, but it's worth it."

Alina smiled and kissed him, and the latter responded to her. After they separated, their faces were both rosy.

"What are they doing in the kitchen?"

"Oh, they said they wanted me to rest today. They wanted to prepare hot pot for us, and they also wanted me to make the base myself."

"Indeed, you should take a break, but..."

"what happened?"

"W's hot pot base... um..."

"How do you know that W is the hot pot base? Is it spicy?"

"The spiciness is acceptable, but the potato flavor is a bit strong after eating it for a long time."

Alina smiled happily.

"It's not that bad. Besides, potatoes are what we eat most. Miss W's potatoes have saved us many times."

"Yeah, I'm not saying anything about how she cooks, but, yeah, there are really too many potatoes."

"No way......"

Tallulah's voice came from the kitchen: "W, you put too much potato flour. Now is not the time to put it in the pot."

"Oh, it tastes good only if you put something related to potatoes in it."

Luo Chen and Alina pretended not to hear. What if there were a lot of potatoes? As long as they were delicious.

At this time, the TV broadcast the news that Casimir's Knight Championship was once again won by the Linguang family. When Maria Linguang was fighting against several knights on the field, Margaret Linguang fell from the sky. The two sisters beat those knights to a pulp and won the victory effortlessly.

"Ms. Lin Guang, you are as strong as ever."

"Well, she is a very reliable person. Anyone who can pass the castle lord-level knight test must be a person of the best character."

Then the news reported another important news. Victoria's royal family was confirmed. The Aslan King Vina was now in Rhodes Island, codenamed the King of Advancement.

Luo Chen was not moved when he saw the news.

"Hey, Rhodes Island is in trouble this time."

"Aren't you going to help?"

"No rush. The situation is still unclear. We don't know how Victoria will act. Besides, this is not something that our two companies can solve. We can only help Rhodes Island at the best time and with the most precise means. If we go out and show up now, we might be dragged into the vortex. You know, those factory owners in Victoria have been displeased with us for a long time."

Alina knocked on his head and said, "You just won't help unless you see the benefit. Besides, isn't it your tactical armor plan that has taken away their market share?"

"Eh? Don't say that. I'm telling the truth. We can't make a move if the opportunity doesn't come. It's understandable that we take some of the profits that come with the trend. Besides, people like Victoria have never stopped their ambition to expand. The king of the country has never been so busy. Everything in the market is competition. They can't compete with us, so they deserve to have no business. I'm just afraid that after the Victoria royal family came to power, they became puppets of the nobles and a tool to gather power and money."

"The changes in Victoria will not only affect our market, but may also lead to a complete confrontation with Ursus. After all, they were the ones who were most vocal in opposing the establishment of the Republic."

"Yes, so..."

"You want to take advantage of this time to get close to Wang Weina and bend her arm over to our side. At least you won't be a puppet after you take the position."

"That's right. Both the Ursus Empire and the Victoria Empire were radical countries before. Now that Ursus has become a republic, its foreign policy has changed to win-win cooperation. It's not as sharp as before. However, the Victoria Empire has been lacking a king for a long time, domestic conflicts have intensified, and the nobles are fighting for power. Many factors have made them focus on external expansion."

"Okay, okay, we're at home now, let's not talk about this."

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about this."

"Dinner is ready." Frost Star shouted, and Luo Chen and Alina got up from the sofa and walked to the dining table.

Luo Chen was speechless when he saw this situation. He had to cook all the ingredients he had just bought tonight.

Well, I have to buy more tomorrow and then move them into the house.

Luo Chen sat down in a bad mood. When the pot started boiling, he was the first one to pick up his chopsticks and start eating, venting his dissatisfaction on the slices of meat.

Everyone looked at him happily. After being together for such a long time, they all knew what was going on in his mind and were happy to give him the meat.

"Try this, it's a new meatball, I wonder if it tastes good."

"Yeah, it's ok, another type of shrimp balls with beef in them! Ugh! Lots of soup!"

"Leave some for me!"

“A big bag!”

"Hey! Idiot! Stop showing off your flesh! That's too much!"

"Oooooooh! Slurp!"

Tallulah handed the small plate to Alina: "Please add some sesame sauce and crushed peanuts for me. The cuisine of Yan Country is really broad. Over the years, I have eaten many different kinds of hot pot."

"Yeah, yeah." Alina handed Fluttershy back to Tallulah.

"Try that baby cabbage, I heard it's delicious."

"Well, okay..."

Chapter 174 Skadi

The sound of machinery roaring, weapons being manufactured continuously on the assembly line, workers wearing helmets, goggles and noise-canceling headphones, and members of the Mechanical Brotherhood in red robes appearing from time to time among the workers. This is the scene of the Agrippina Arsenal.

Aside from holidays and weekends, this is how things work all year round.

Fifty percent of the weapons produced here were sold to Ursus, and the rest were distributed to Syracuse, Victoria, Longmen, Yan Guo, Sargon, Columbia and other regions. Most of them were Agrippina's iconic weapons, the Agrippina Type V automatic rifle, which was an enhanced and upgraded version of the Type IV after a redesign of the Type III automatic rifle. It was a successful work of localization and modularization of automatic rifles.

A considerable number of accessories can be mounted on the Type 5 automatic rifle, or some parts on the gun body can be replaced. The caliber of the ammunition has been reduced, which improves its penetration and power. With the help of auxiliary equipment such as under-mounted bayonets, grenades and shotguns, it can be used as a standard military weapon to equip the army.

However, in order to bypass the army's control, Agrippina Industries classified it as a personal defense weapon. The army can equip it, and people in areas where guns are legal can also buy it. Of course, since the Cardia Group withdrew from the black market and agreed to ban personal distribution, all weapons will have official sales stores, must obtain permission from the local government, and the person selling it must have a legal gun license and sufficient personal proof.

This is also to prevent the weapons of the Cardia Group from becoming weapons in the hands of terrorists on a large scale. In the previous Syracuse, a large number of gangsters and criminals equipped with Agrippina Type III and Type IV automatic rifles caused considerable trouble to the detectives. Terrorist activities around the world have also caused great suffering to the police officers of the law enforcement team who are equipped with cold weapons because of the existence of these weapons.

What followed was the condemnation of the Kadia Group. Luo Chen had not taken this into consideration when he was selling weapons before. At that time, everyone was thinking about making money, and the huge profits from selling weapons went to their heads. Until now, when even his own mercenaries were complaining about the too many automatic guns in the hands of the criminals, Luo Chen realized that he could no longer sell without any bottom line.

So when Terra proposed a restrictive sales order, the Cardia Group was the first to sign it. This was to adapt to the changing times and to restore its own reputation. The Cardia Group then provided brand new Type 5 automatic rifles and new personal protection systems to police officers in various places.

Agrippina Industries even reduced the caliber of the squad mortar from 60 mm to 45 mm, turning it into a grenade launcher and giving it to the armed police and detectives to strengthen their firepower. However, as for the power of this grenade launcher, due to the use of newly developed charges and explosives, its power is even stronger than the old Type 60 gun.

However, recently, due to the strong demand from the Ursus Star Army, the 60mm mortar has undergone a wave of modifications. The gun body has been strengthened to withstand higher chamber pressure, and it can fire new mortar shells and has an auxiliary rangefinder. Due to the manufacturing process and the use of new materials, the price of the new mortar is 30% cheaper than the old version, and its performance is much better.

The firearms recently launched by the Cardia Group have won applause from all the police officers fighting drug dealers and terrorists.

After a year of research and development, Lucius Industries launched the Lucius II submachine gun, which has high accuracy, high sustained firepower, is extremely powerful, and is guaranteed to knock down an ordinary person with one shot and an Originium artist with one burst of bullets.

This gun is used with the Lucius II assault combat system, which includes a modular carapace, an inherited display helmet, and various auxiliary equipment.

This entire set of urban anti-terrorism combat system was designed specifically for detectives and armed police. Of the first batch of 400 combat systems, 300 were delivered to the Republic of Ursus and 100 were delivered to the Longmen Guard Bureau.

The media learned that the armored core project designed by Agrippina Industries has been completed and is open for sale to Terra. The first batch of combat mechas released blinded everyone's eyes.

A type of combat mecha, five meters high, equipped with a combat cannon and an electric rotary machine, two satellite missile launchers, and a 45mm howitzer launcher. The type of combat mecha allows all-terrain combat, mainly because it is an anthropomorphic design. The kind of mecha seen in the movies was realized by Agrippina Industries, but it is much shorter, and in order to protect the weak parts, it looks a bit bloated.

However, the original intention of designing this type of combat mecha is to cover infantry operations. Its positioning is similar to that of the sentry mecha, and it is more used to assist infantry attacks when armored vehicles and tanks are unable to provide combat support.

The Type 2 combat mecha is more like another kind of tank, because it moves on tracks, but it is not a tank, because it is five meters tall, equipped with two heavy logging guns, a missile launcher, and two grenade launchers. It was originally designed to assist the attack of armored vehicle units.

Luo Chen discovered that the current armored forces of the Astra Militarum were all heavy tanks, and the smallest Lemanus was far beyond the weight that the road could bear. However, he still didn't understand how the Imperial tanks, which were like fantasy technology, could move on a bad road like Terra and even speed up like that.

However, those were no longer things that needed to be considered, because both the Lemanus and other tanks moved too slowly, so that when the Chimera led the infantry to attack, the Lemanus had not yet arrived on the battlefield.

Then the second type of combat mecha will follow the Chimera armored vehicle and rely on missile launchers to destroy enemy armored targets on the battlefield.

As for why a light tank was not designed, it is because there is no technical basis and no one knows how to do it. On the contrary, the chassis of the Chimera armored vehicle are frighteningly numerous. It would be better to put an operational robot on the Chimera's chassis, which has powerful firepower and does not have many countermeasures.

Anyway, Luo Chen saw very few missile launchers on the battlefield of Ursus. In most cases, it was the mages of the Ursus Empire who were responsible for the counterattack against the Integrated Movement armored forces.

Although Lateran has many weapons such as missile launchers, it has always been a neutral country, even relatively isolated. Others have no interest in it, and it has no interest in others, especially the real guns are generally not outflowed.

However, in the war situation on Terra, what Luo Chen values ​​most are artillery and infantry, because except for a small number of ground cities, most people live in mobile cities, and if a war really needs to be fought, they will have to rely on boarding battles.

But the problem is that if you want to transport the overweight Imperial tanks to the battlefield of the mobile city, you have to use mobile battleships to ram the mobile city and then use it as a springboard for the armored forces.

This type of combat method was eliminated by the Astra Militarum because it caused too much damage to mobile warships. Many mobile warships were destroyed by the Integration Movement during the Ursus Civil War, which made many technicians furious.

This is how the promotion of combat mechas came about. The reason a type of combat mecha was designed into a humanoid shape was so that it would be luckier than armored units in boarding battles, and it also had decent firepower to support infantry.

The most surprising thing is that the Ursus Republic National Industry, Cardia Group, Colombian National Industry and Thor Industries are cooperating to jointly develop a personal powered exoskeleton system. In order to counter the power armor project that Victoria is developing, Rhine Life is helping Victoria advance.

Luo Chen really doesn't want to start an arms race, but Victoria is very furious now. Ursus has held many negotiations with Victoria with the attitude of resolving the incident diplomatically, but each time he has been met with failure. The relationship between the two countries is now very tense. The radical nobles in Victoria are constantly making trouble and want to start a war. The country caught between the two countries is in a dilemma.

Is it so difficult to stand in line?

Luo Chen believed that the buffer point of this matter right now was the Victorian royal family in Rhode Island.

Therefore, before the great opportunity that Luo Chen hoped for came, he rushed to Rhodes Island. It was a mess. He could fail tactically, but he must not make any mistakes in strategy.

Wang Weina is a person who must be won over. With the help of her identity, the radicals in Victoria can be dealt with, and her identity can also be used to implement policies to stabilize the domestic situation in Victoria.

All this requires his own support.

When I arrived at Rhode Island and met the Doctor, I knew what had happened by looking at her expression.

"He went on a mission to avoid disaster?"

The doctor nodded: "There are too many people looking for her. Let's avoid her for a while and wait for an opportunity."

"Where are there so many opportunities?"

"There will always be one. Are you here to win over Miss Wang Weina?"

"Yes, Victoria is a bomb right now. She was just radical before. If her coming to power can bring about changes in Victoria, then we and Ursus will become much safer."

"Haven't you ever thought about what she would think?"

"I don't want to turn her into a puppet, and I don't want to get involved with Victoria. Ursus, my old employer, also wants Victoria to be able to deal with things peacefully. To be honest with you, Ursus just finished a civil war and then fought a war against evil demons. The country is very tired of war, and if the war continues, it will consume national strength. It has finally developed, and it certainly doesn't want to be destroyed by war again."

"I can't help you. This matter can only be decided by Wang Weina herself."

"Of course, I just want to help her. If she ascends the throne and clears out the war factions in the country, everyone will benefit. You know, many of the cooperation projects proposed by Ursus before are win-win. But those Victoria nobles are greedier than vultures. There is nothing we can do. They want to fight, but we don't. We can only rely on the influential status of the royal family to create an opportunity for peace between Victoria and Ursus."

"She herself doesn't want to bother with these things, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Rhodes Island, but I can introduce her to you."

"alright."

When Luo Chen left the office, she always felt that someone was following her, so she suddenly walked in at a corner, and when the person appeared, she pointed a laser pistol at her.
