Chapter 286: Sixth Special Internship (17)
The Shura Field was just a small episode, and Alyssa was a little upset for a while before revealing the matter for the time being, and the topic returned to the terrorist attack just now.
"Where did that puppet weapon come from? It seems that no suspected terrorist figures have been found. ”
"Yes, we also feel concerned, so we have investigated." Claire affirmed Macchias' claim, "It looks like it's in a couple of containers that were brought in - three months ago. ”
"3 months ago!" Alyssa exclaimed, "Isn't that when we went to the Nolde Plateau?" ”
"At that time, it seems that the Imperial Liberation Front did not stand on the table." Dawn's brow furrowed, it seemed that the terrorist's plan was much more elaborate than he thought, one link after another, interlocking.
"Well, they only officially reported their names in the imperial capital a month later, and to be honest, we didn't even check it." Claire said chagrined.
"It's outrageous." Macchias was still a little incredulous, "So, did they plan this event so long ago?" ”
"Yes," Claire nodded, "Looks like the opponent is very smart. The leader of the terrorists, the masked man known as "C", I think he arranged it. ”
"Isn't that the guy you fought in the imperial capital?" C's body Chloe didn't show the slightest flaw on his face.
"That's right." Lane turned his head to look at Chloe, "His skills are quite strong, and I suffered a small loss." However, it is difficult to say whether this incident was planned by C or not - at least there is another possibility. ”
"Another possibility?" Claire was stunned.
"A guy who has been arrested now, but was more active than C at the time, G, Kidion!" Rien stretched out his hand to the north, "Three months ago, he tried to disturb the peace of Nolde. And go to the Nolde plateau. Luray is the way to go. It was not impossible for him to arrange the containers before he went to the Nolde Plateau. ”
"I see, it's very likely, it's me who was negligent at this time"
"What's wrong?" Lane keenly caught the melancholy between Claire's eyebrows, "Kidion hasn't been extradited yet?" Didn't Secretary Reicter go to negotiate? Could it be said. Is it because Cross Bell is making an independent affair? ”
"That's it." Claire sighed softly, "The negotiations are not going well, and Kidion is still in prison with the Autonomous Prefecture Government. He attacked the Chamber of Commerce, and the government of the autonomous region also had the right to judge him. If we could get any information out of him, we wouldn't be so passive. ”
"It's a shame." Chloe's expression was slightly complicated. On the one hand, it is fortunate that Kidion did not fall into the hands of the Imperial Government, so that the plan can be carried out smoothly; On the other hand, it is also a pity that if the extradition really begins, they will have a chance to regain their companions. Although the structure of the liberation front is relatively loose. But as the core of the four cadres, they have formed a deep friendship. As long as there is a possibility, he will not give up.
"Yes, we can't take it lightly in the future. Anyway, leave it to us, and please go back to your internship - hmm——? In the middle of her words, Claire suddenly looked puzzled, "Why hasn't the Confederate army moved yet?" The news of the incident should have passed a long time ago, right? ”
"Oops!" Claire's face suddenly changed, "Over there of the Confederates—"
"Captain Claire—" Just as everyone was confused by Claire's expression. Two gendarmes quickly ran over, "There's movement over there at the Zaxon Iron Mine!" It looks like it was being raided by terrorists! ”
"What did you say!" Everyone was shocked.
"Sure enough—" That's what Claire had just thought. "—All the staff evacuated and went to the iron mine. Convey the command! Ask them to bring in 2 squadrons from the neighborhood in 12 hours! ”
"Obey the order, sir!"
"It's just a façade, and the iron mine is their target." Lane summed up the situation in the briefest of words.
"Mine Captain," Alyssa began to worry about the elders who had been taking care of her.
"Let's take a look, too." Chloe suggested.
"Let's go!"
The iron mine where the students visited yesterday is now in shambles, and the construction machinery outside the pit is crooked. All kinds of materials are scattered and piled up as barricades. Inside the pit, several puffs of smoke billowed out, apparently caused by arson by terrorists.
At the entrance to the pit, the railway gendarmerie and the Confederate army are facing off.
The commander of the Lord's Army, whom he saw yesterday, led his men to stop at the entrance of the mine: "The terrorists have completely occupied the iron mine!" Now that the miners are being taken hostage, we can't do it! ”
"That's what I said. You don't even talk about negotiations, do you just want to wait and see? Claire's expression was cold, "They are acting for a purpose, and they must not let him stall for time!" ”
The information obtained before, the situation in front of them, and the words that the students heard, summarized and analyzed, it is not difficult to restore what happened.
The terrorists used the tactics of striking at the west to raid and capture the Zaxon Iron Mine. Then, the leading Confederates blocked the mine.
"I feel that the Condestinate Army is too well prepared, to put it bluntly, no matter how you think about it, there is collusion." Fei, who has the most experience in this area, complained.
"But the mine was actually attacked?" Macchias didn't know what to do, "and there was black smoke like that"
"That's probably a fake." "The way the smoke comes out is a bit unnatural, so I think it's a smoke bomb or something. ”
"If that's the case, is there another reason why the Confederates are blockading this place? Maybe it's something to do with Ryan Folter's 'First Production'. ”
When Alyssa said this, the others also reacted, and Claire personally came to Luray to investigate the First Production. However, at such a sensitive point in time, the Confederate army made such an obvious action -
"Maybe there's 'something' they're hiding from here." Li En meant something, "In order to cover up this matter, this place is blocked." ”
"'Something' means," Elliot asked.
"I don't know yet. Either way, the chances of the miners being in danger are too high to be ignored. However, it is not possible to do it here, so it is better to go back to the street first and think about it in the long run. ”
"Well, it's really necessary to think about what to do later, no!" Alyssa suddenly glared at Riene, who had just spoken, "Why are you here?" Didn't you say you weren't allowed to go out of the city? ”
"Ahaha, naturally" Lane touched the back of his head and laughed dryly.
"Go back." Faye grabbed Riene's hand.
"Fei, don't pull me."
"You go back to me!"
"Alyssa, don't push me!"
Lower floor of Luray city, open space on the side of the escalator.
"In short, Riene, you are absolutely not allowed to go out of the city again." Alyssa looked fierce, like a housekeeper.
"Yes, Miss Alisa."
"Don't call me Miss! In short, it is time to recognize the situation and understand what is happening. ”
"Then again, if the terrorists and the aristocracy are completely in the same group, the purpose is probably for the evidence of 'something' that Lane Forte First Productions is concealing." Macchias analyzed.
"But, but, for that kind of thing, does it take so much trouble?" Elliot didn't understand, "Remember that the ownership of the iron mine belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, right?" ”
"yes." Alyssa nodded, "Then the state of Nodia will be in charge, and Ryan Forte will be in charge of the mining, refining, and processing of iron ore, which is the first indispensable resource for Erebonia. If this continues, it will deal a blow to the entire empire, including the aristocratic faction. ”
"It depends on whether the aristocracy and the terrorists know this and still act like this. Besides, they don't seem to be that united in the first place. ”
Hearing Chloe say this, Li En was immediately relieved, the terrorist boss said this, and the iron mine would not be affected much.
Fei also agreed: "The members of the terrorists seem to be all civilians, and there are no nobles. It feels like they're just joining forces with each other because they hate "Iron Prime Minister". ”
"If that's the case, this incident should have something to do with that." Of course, Lane knew what Chloe's full script was like, but he deliberately indulged it in order to ensure that the world line did not change.
"Gee, I think I'm a little late." The familiar magnetic female voice, the familiar locomotive engine with the sound of speed, Angelica rode the locomotive with a flick of the tail, stopped in front of several people, and still loved to be handsome. (The original world line was to open the three rounds and come with George, George went to study in Liebel, and Angelica had to come alone.) )
"Yo, you're here." Chloe was not at all surprised by Angelica's arrival, for he had contacted the eldest lady of the Rogner family last night for what had happened yesterday evening.
"Yes, by the way, test the range of the locomotive, although George promised to drive for three days and three nights, I must always test it myself. The results were better than expected, and it took only 7 hours to reach Luray. ”
It's only been 7 hours of cycling, aren't you tired? Chloe broke out in a cold sweat: "Really, it's still the same way I always go." Tova must not have come. ”
"That's right, she wanted to come in a sidecar. But the student council has a lot of things waiting for her to deal with, so they ask her to help collect information on all aspects. If you have any news, you should contact us immediately. ”
"That's too reliable." Chloe laughed.
"Uh, uh, I haven't figured it out yet."
"Sounds like you're acting for something different from us."
Chloe is not surprised, it does not mean that others are not surprised, especially Elliot and Macchias.
"Could it be the 'thing you cared about' last time?" Alyssa referred to the reason why Angelica said she had been more irritable lately while exploring the old schoolhouse last weekend.
"Oh, it's my childhood sweetheart, that's it. I've been skeptical for a long time, but it seems to have come true. ”
"I remember that the director of First Productions was Angelica," Alyssa seemed to think of something.
"Well, Heider Rogner, that guy is my uncle. Looks like it would be better for us to exchange information with each other. Let's talk in a different place. (To be continued.) )
