Ursus implements a high-pressure policy towards the infected, so there are a large number of refugees and bandits in the lawless zone, and there are also some villages spontaneously formed by the infected.
Generally speaking, the lawless zone in southern Ursus, although not safe, is not very dangerous either. However, Casimir is different.
Due to the prosperity of business, the uninhabited area in southern Casimir has indirectly become a hotbed of corruption and smuggling. Controlled drugs from Colombia, datura from Syracuse, silk and paintings from Yan Country... will all enter Casimir through this channel and then flow into the pockets of the wealthy.
Because of this, bounty hunters and bandits who are blinded by greed will sneak into lawless areas, hoping to rob smuggling teams and become rich overnight. But of course, smugglers cannot be slaughtered at will. Every smuggling team will be accompanied by the best bounty hunters and mercenaries.
Choosing to smuggle through the lawless zone means choosing a route with an extremely high risk factor. Although the lawless zone is vast and the probability of encountering a criminal is actually very low, the fear is still in the unlikely event of encountering one.
From a safety perspective, the doctor felt that she had to persuade White Wolf to give up this idea, but she did not intend to use safety to convince the other party. She knew very well that Miss White Wolf would not give up because of safety issues.
"Why do you want to go to Casimir at this time?" she asked.
"Doctor, do you remember what I told Kal'tsit? About the Ursus Border Army?"
"Remember, I was listening that day."
"Before accumulating enough strength, the Integration Movement will not be able to deal with the Border Army. However, the probability of the Border Army being mobilized is very high. I must find a way to prevent that possibility."
"You plan to use Casimir to threaten the border troops so that they can't be mobilized?"
"Yes, Casimir has been at war with Ursus for many years. It is a country that can truly arouse the hatred of the entire empire. If there is any action, even if it is just a provocation, the border troops will stay in the western border to the death."
The doctor said thoughtfully, "I admit that your idea is correct, but Casimir is now controlled by the Business Federation. Their biggest interest is stability. Only a stable situation can facilitate rapid business expansion. They will not do anything to make the situation tense."
"I know this. In the past few years, the Business Federation has been secretly rebuilding its relationship with Ursus by starting with the nobles. When the Ursus Civil War broke out, they immediately blocked traffic, with the goal of completely staying away from the war. I also know that it took the Business Federation decades to win the battle against the Supervisory Commission. With such internal friction, the strength of Casimir's regular army will only be weaker than during the Ursus War. They have no ability and no possibility to start a war against Ursus, let alone take the initiative to provoke."
"If you know everything, then why..."
"It is precisely because I know this that I discovered that Casimir is a perfect means of checks and balances. If the Terran nations are compared to chess pieces, this chess piece is unwilling and dares not to take the initiative to provoke, which just shows that it is relatively harmless at this stage. It is impossible for it to induce a large-scale war between empires. Therefore, we can use it safely. We just need to let it make a threatening gesture and leave the border troops in the West."
From a standpoint, Ms. Doctor should have found a way to object, because her goal was to stop Ms. White Wolf. However, she did not want to object. The other party's thinking really touched her heart. It was an answer that completely matched her way of thinking. Instead, she had to stand up and support it.
"It's a good idea, but have you ever thought about it? The more perfect this chess piece is, the less likely it is to threaten Ursus as you think. Even if you successfully reach Casimir, it will be incredibly difficult to push forward this matter."
"I know it will be difficult. If things can be accomplished easily, I will doubt whether there is a problem with this chess piece."
"Do you have any idea now?"
"I have some vague ideas, but I don't know if they will work. Anyway, I will try my best."
"Rhodes Island should be able to find some helpers for you. I remember there are quite a few operators from the Great Knight Territory on the roster."
"I think it's better to discuss it with Kal'tsit and think carefully. My identity and position are special, and what I'm going to do cannot be made public. What if those operators think I'm Casimir's enemy..."
"Your concerns are very thoughtful. I will discuss this with Kal'tsit. There is one more thing we need to confirm. If you really want to go, when do you plan to leave?"
"I tried it today and I can move around on my own. I plan to wait another three to five days to see how my body feels. If I feel I can move around, I'll leave right away."
"Then you must have someone to escort you. Otherwise, given your condition, it is impossible for you to cross the no-man's land."
"Yes, I thought so too. I am considering hiring Penguin Logistics."
"Penguin Logistics? They just received an order from Rhodes Island a few days ago and went to Yan Country as a group. Taking into account the rest time, they should be back in October."
"This……"
"In fact, it would be most convenient to hire Rhodes Island operators. Unfortunately, Rhodes Island has been to Che City before and is a sensitive group. It is not convenient for them to get involved in matters related to Uka and Uka... Anyway, I'll find a way."
"Okay, then it's Dr. Lao's turn."
"Well, you take a rest first. Kal'tsit should still be in the office. I'll go talk to her now."
……
five minutes later.
In Ms. Kelsey's office.
With a loud bang, the water cup on the table began to tremble. Kal'tsit stretched out her right hand and pointed at the Doctor in disbelief.
"You, you actually agreed to her?"
"accepted."
"You are a doctor, she is messing around, so you are messing around with her?"
"Kal'tsit, I understand how you feel. Actually, I couldn't accept it at first either. But I think the first thing we need to determine is, can we really influence Miss White Wolf's decision? She has already given everything for the integration movement. Can we persuade her to give up the action?"
Kal'tsit sat down dejectedly and shook her head.
"So, what we should really do is not to persuade her meaninglessly, but to help her achieve her goal. I know you must have a way."
"Of course there is a way. Elite Operator Lin Guang is currently preparing for the Knight Tournament in the Great Knight Territory. I can write her a letter."
"That's good. This must be very important to Miss White Wolf."
"But I have a question for you, Doctor. You actively cooperated with Miss White Wolf to interfere in the North. Have you remembered it?"
"You... I don't understand what you are saying, Kal'tsit."
"She's already in your game. I just hope you won't regret it in the future."
Chapter 2024 Unexpected Message 02-08-12 00:02:
Ever since she heard the bad news about Londinium, Miss Qin Liu has been looking forward to going back every day.
The invasion of the Military Council is a crisis for the whole of Victoria. As a Victorian, now is the time to rush to the battlefield to defend your hometown.
Rhodes Island had decided to interfere in Victoria's affairs long ago, and this time it would stand on the same side as her, and even its own ship would go directly to Victoria.
However, the Duke's permission has not been signed yet, which means that the ship can only stay near Longmen and cannot take direct action. If it wants to go to the Victoria war zone, the only thing it can do now is to wait.
She got up earlier, went to bed later, trained harder, and used her free time to collect real-time information about Londinium to prepare for her future actions.
On this day, Qin Liu went to the medical area after training as usual, intending to invite Su Su Luo and the perfumer to have dinner in the restaurant.
The short Su Su Luo was standing at the door of the office, frowning at a file that was as tall as his head. When he saw Qin Liu coming from afar, he immediately perked up and stood on tiptoe to wave at Qin Liu.
"Qin Liu, Qin Liu, help me."
Miss Qin Liu trotted a few steps and came to Su Su Luo. While looking at the tall medical documents, she asked, "There are quite a lot. Where should these be sent?"
"It's Ms. Kelsey's office. The perfumer is not here today because he has a medical mission. I can't move it all by myself."
"give it to me."
"Okay, let's go together."
"No, I can handle it all by myself. Hurry up and go to the restaurant and grab me a potato burger. If you're late, they'll be gone."
"Yeah, okay, Qin Liu, you still like Victoria snacks so much."
"I'm used to it. The food from my hometown still tastes better after all the eating."
After parting with Susu Luo, Miss Qin Liu started moving with the tall files. For Susu Luo, these things might be incredibly heavy, but for her, they could be easily lifted with one hand.
The only thing she had to pay attention to was that if the files were stacked too high, she had to be careful when moving them to prevent them from falling to the ground.
Ms. Kal'tsit's office is located in the research area. There are usually special operators to conduct entry and exit checks. Generally speaking, only medical staff or mission-related personnel can enter.
Miss Qin Liu has almost become a frequent visitor to the medical department. Today, she came with a large stack of medical documents, so the prosecutor let her in without a second thought.
The location of Ms. Kal'tsit's office is public. Qin Liu had been there many times when reporting on tasks before, so she found the place easily.
She walked towards the office door with the documents in her arms, and vaguely heard voices coming from inside. She guessed that it might be someone reporting a task.
But this has nothing to do with her. Susulo has reminded her that if Ms. Kal'tsit is busy, she can just put the documents in the file box at the door.
She quickly put the information away and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she recognized a familiar name from the voice - Miss White Wolf.
As soon as this name appeared, it attracted all her attention like a magnet.
The discussion in the office continued.
"Bounty hunters who can survive in the lawless zone are not ordinary people. If there are too few of them, they will definitely not be able to guarantee Miss White Wolf's safety."
"But Miss White Wolf's goal is to sneak across, and having too many people will only cause more trouble."
"Can we send an elite operator over? Only an elite operator is suitable for this situation."
"Of course I understand, but Rhodes Island is currently limited in personnel. All the elite operators available for dispatch can be identified by the outside world. We must not get involved with the North when we go to Victoria."
"How about finding a partner to help you in Longmen?"
"Ms. White Wolf's identity is too sensitive. It's a question whether other partners should be trusted. Wait, there's someone outside."
Kal'tsit opened the computer and saw the person standing at the door on the surveillance camera.
Since Qin Liu is from Victoria and is a member of the Londinium office, he is likely to play an important role in future Londinium operations, so Kal'tsit has been keeping an eye on him and recognized him immediately after seeing the surveillance.
She asked through the camera's intercom: "Ms. Qin Liu, is there anything you need to report?"
Miss Qin Liu looked a little dazed, and pointed to the pile of documents beside her: "I, I came here to deliver the information."
"Thank you. Just leave it there."
"Ok."
Miss Qin Liu turned and left, going to the restaurant in a trance. After eating hastily, she said goodbye to Su Su Luo on the grounds of feeling unwell, and returned to her room with a heavy heart.
It was impossible for her not to think about what she had heard today.
There were two people talking in the office, one was Ms. Kal'tsit and the other one, judging by the voice, should be the Doctor.
Is the Miss White Wolf they mentioned the Miss White Wolf named Olicia?
If it's really her.
What about escorting to the north? Are you going to escort Miss White Wolf to somewhere in the north?
Could it be that Miss White Wolf is in Rhodes Island?
Why does she need an escort? With Miss White Wolf's strength, she is definitely no less than any elite operator.
She recalled that day.
In the early hours of the morning, she was on patrol when a flying vehicle returned from afar and an unknown person was taken to the medical department by an emergency medical vehicle.
She previously suspected that the person was the Doctor, but the Doctor's appearance the next day proved that the person being transported was actually someone else.
The identity is sensitive, requires secret escort, and is related to the North.
Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
She remembered another thing. One day, she met the Doctor at night, who inexplicably asked her about Miss White Wolf.
When all the information was combined together, her vision became clear. Who else could the mysterious injured person who was rescued be other than the Ursus noblewoman Miss Olicia?
The other party was injured?
How serious is your injury?
Does it matter?
Being taken so seriously by Rhodes Island, it shouldn't be a small problem.
Miss White Wolf was injured, so she needed to be escorted. The place she was going to seemed very dangerous, and she needed the protection of elite operators. But Ms. Kal'tsit also said that Rhodes Island did not have any suitable elite operators to send.
Can we only send ordinary operators over?
How can that work?
At least someone of her level should be sent. Although her strength cannot be called an elite operator, it has reached a level that is enough to compete with elite operators.
Yes, no matter what it is, she should step forward. She has an obligation to protect Miss White Wolf.
She stood up eagerly, and suddenly thought of another thing.
Her eyes suddenly became confused and helpless.
Isn't she going to Victoria?
Doesn't she want to protect her motherland and the people of Victoria?
She had waited for so long and finally got the news that it wouldn't be long before the ship would be heading to Londinium. How could she choose to go anywhere else at this moment?
Chapter 2024: Undecided 02-10-12 00:02:
Miss Qin Liu endured a sleepless night of anxiety.
The next morning, she wandered around the medical department. She wanted to find the Doctor or Kal'tsit to ask about Miss White Wolf, but she was afraid that asking would make the decision even more difficult.
Just when Qin Liu was hesitating, the doctor's figure suddenly appeared in her sight, and she subconsciously chased after him.
