Osmanthus City, where the Southern Theater Command is located, has been heavily guarded recently, and a large number of soldiers are on duty inside and outside the station.

Elizabeth's chief bodyguard, Henry, sat in the VIP waiting room with a few guards, waiting for the next train to arrive.

Since Elizabeth was mortally wounded, Henry and the other guards had a hard time, and they couldn't hold their heads up in front of the others.

Henry, in particular, was in charge of two important departments, the guard team responsible for protecting Elizabeth's safety and the chamberlain's room, which assisted Elizabeth in her official duties.

Henry had been waiting for an order to take the punishment for the recent period, but what he had been waiting for was the order for Charles to take office.

The entire command was stunned for a few seconds before being relieved, and everyone understood the reason. Moreover, Charles had previously served as the chairman of the committee for monitoring the construction of defense works along the river, and he went down the army after he used his face on the dwarven side to open up the work situation, so everyone did not care about Charles's gilded behavior.

After all, not everyone can plate some gold, even if Charles's lifespan is calculated, even if he can live to be two hundred years old, when his grave is flourishing, many people in the headquarters have not been promoted to an official position, so there is no need to be annoyed about this.

It's just that Henry feels that he is afraid that he will be refrigerated for a period of time in the future, even if there is no clear punishment from above, but he just let him follow Charles in the future, which is worse than being kicked to the logistics pig farm.

At least fattening pigs is also a meritorious service, but fattening Charles is useless.

Just as Henry was thinking, the heavy footsteps of the Earth Walking Dragon came from a distance.

Several of their guards immediately extinguished their cigarette butts, and after tidying up, they walked out of the waiting room to wait for Charles's arrival.

For Henry, there was no trouble in this pick-up mission, that is, after Charles came, everyone took the car back to the headquarters and it was over.

It's just that when Charles stepped out of the special carriage, Henry and several other attendants were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Charles with strange eyes.

Because Charles was followed by a pair of young "hill elves" twins, although it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, the faces of the three of them were slightly tired, as if they were not sleeping.

However, Henry, they immediately adjusted their mentality, and everyone who works next to the leader knows it, and they don't know what they shouldn't know.

Henry and the others immediately stood up and saluted, "Welcome Acting Commander, it's been a hard journey." ”

Their tone was businesslike, without deliberately accentuating any words.

Charles returned the salute and said, "Let's work hard for you next, let's go back to the headquarters first." ”

The most high-end vehicle in the Southern Theater of Operations is the van produced by Mercedes-Benz, and Elizabeth's car is naturally a van that looks ordinary in Charles's eyes.

Charles and Henry were in the same car, and the Wright sisters, who arrived with Charles, and the other guards were in the other.

In the car, Charles said to Henry: "The punishment for you has come down, I will talk to you first." Just stay on duty, Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess still recognize your ability, and their trust in you has not changed, and you should not be burdened yourself. ”

Henry opened his mouth, he felt that the punishment was too light.

Charles then handed a piece of parchment to Henry and said, "These experts will come one after another to arrange their accommodation and the equipment handling and storage of their peers." The conditions were the same as those of the two Miss Wright, and they were all arranged to stay directly at the headquarters. The Special Air Service Regiment was also notified to send four of the best flying fighters and to extend the runway north of the city to three hundred meters. ”

"Understood!" Henry immediately ordered.

According to the tacit agreement reached in the headquarters, as long as it is not a specific military operation, Charles will be tossed.

Although Henry didn't know what the parchment experts were up to, he still knew that the Wright sisters were involved in the development of the power delta wing, and Charles's last order was related to flying, so he judged that Charles was doing something about technology again.

Since it was a technical matter, Henry let Charles toss. Anyway, Charles has a good record in this area, such as wind arrows, orienting broadswords, and a certain conscience, and the car he is sitting in now is related to Charles.

"What's next for me?" Charles asked.

Henry replied, "You have no arrangements for this afternoon, and a plenary meeting needs to be held tomorrow morning." ”

"Understood. Charles nodded, it is a proper thing for everyone to meet when the new official takes office, such a meeting is generally a retreat, except for the beginning of the reading of the letter of appointment after everyone sits and chats and communicates, and they are familiar with each other.

Osmanthus City was not big compared to the city of Charles's previous life, and the kung fu van came to the headquarters in a few words.

Charles went back to the room to rest first, and after the Wright sisters got into the car yesterday, the three of them discussed the issue of fixed-wing aircraft until the car arrived at the station just now, and last night they discussed it all night.

The Wright sisters brought great news to Charles, as they had developed a two-seater, single-engine biplane that could be said to be qualified two months ago.

Because they already had a power delta wing, they did not regard the simple structure of the aircraft, which can only fly one or two hundred meters high and more than ten kilometers away, as a real aircraft, but as an experimental device to verify certain technologies.

Now they have developed an airplane that is more than six meters long, with a wingspan of more than eight meters, almost three meters high, an empty plane weighing about 700 kilograms, flying at a speed of 170 kilometers per hour, and a range of about 300 kilometers.

It's just that on the one hand, the Elven Royal Court cut off contact with the outside world before, and on the other hand, what the military representatives wanted was a high-end cargo that could pull goods, throw bombs and people, or at least be able to carry a few communication soldiers, so that this cross-era plane was placed there in obscurity and became a stepping stone for the development of the aviation industry.

However, this small plane, which can only carry about 50 kilograms of load after carrying two pilots, is enough for Charles's current needs, and he does not want to make any big steps at this time.

It was lunchtime, and while Charles was having lunch, Henry came to report that Cardano, Daguerre, Vogelander, Sutton, and Baker on the parchment had arrived at Osmanthus City with their equipment and equipment.
