Chapter 49: Real Voices
On the second day of arrival in Sebatian, Gunniwell was the last to arrive. Of course, her late arrival did not delay the entire delegation's itinerary, nor did it attract the attention of her peers. As the members of the delegation had left the cafeteria, Weiss leaned in again, noticing that unlike the previous day, Gunnivel seemed to be in good spirits, and could even be described as in high spirits, as if something pleasant had happened.
"Looks like you slept well last night?" He inquired in the tone of a friend.
"Maybe it's a tiring journey! Yesterday I didn't lose sleep because of the strangeness of the environment, I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed, I hardly dreamed at night, and slept until dawn. Gunevere replied naturally.
Weiss found out that she was not wearing a necklace today, and couldn't help but be a little curious, could it be that this time the Normans didn't give her any more gifts? Or did you send something else? Speaking of which, Sebatian is already in the north, even indoors, the temperature is lower than in the East City before, Gunevere is wearing a relatively thick winter coat, there is no way to expose her slender and white neck, this outfit is not suitable for a delicate necklace, she can wear a brooch, but the one on her dress looks ordinary......
"Actually, before I came, I asked Octavir a few tricks." Gunnevere suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously.
"Ask for what?" Weiss is a little confused, Octavier is a female officer in the special forces, she is good at fighting, explosives, and special operations command, is it possible to teach Gunevere anti-wolf skills?
"Secret!" Gunnevere said with a smile.
Her posture made Weiss a little incomprehensible, and the day before she was finally dazzled by the noble young man of the Normans, and today she has become a super female agent? This is a script to steal secrets from the enemy?
There is a way that people can't look good, at least when she was a girl, she and Octavil spent a relatively long time together, a female warrior like Octavil should not lack training and exercise on weekdays, Gunvael may have really learned a few tricks...... Weiss speculated, but Gunnevere didn't say much, and the secret had to wait for the follow-up to be revealed.
Sebastian is a city located in a valley with a huge snow-capped mountain backdrop, making it an easy place to defend. According to the Normans themselves, it was a thousand-year-old fortress, and in its long history. Not once was it breached head-on by the enemy.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of this luxury hotel, Weiss sees the city full of mountain tunnels, iron bridges, and locomotives pulling minecarts to and fro, a bit like the miners' cities in some magic movies. As he gazes out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, a massive flying ship soars into the air in the distance. He wasted no time in narrowing his eyes and using his special vision to collect the performance data of this flying object. This flying ship has the size of a capital ship in appearance, but is as stubby and stocky as a transport ship. If it can be ruled out that it is not equipped with weapons and armor, then its positioning is very different from that of previous capital ships and transport ships, and it may be a flying carrier used by the Normans to carry combat aircraft. Regardless of the specific performance of this flying carrier, it must be a very difficult opponent in modern warfare.
It wasn't until the flying ship flew over the top of the hill and disappeared from view that Weiss turned his mind back to the city. Sebatian's pillar industry is mining, metallurgy, foundry, machinery manufacturing, a complete industrial chain, so that many towering chimneys can be seen in this city built on the hills, and in the huge valley plain in front of the city, although there is snow everywhere, you can still see many farms. For thousands of years, the people here have lived on meat produced by animal husbandry, but of course, with the progress of society and the growth of population, the local production of cattle and sheep is no longer enough to meet the needs of the residents. Thus, despite his geographical possessions, Sebatian had not been an independent existence for many years, but was an inseparable part of the Norman Empire.
The following morning, the members of the federal delegation were arranged to visit the city's monuments, which are more than 2,000 years old because of their exceptional history and relatively stable regime. The cold stone pillar has spent a long time here, and people can't help but be in awe of its historical vicissitudes and heaviness. In the Sebatian Museum, there are many precious weapons donated by the Sebatian family, including the armor of the knights, the crystal cups used by the noble chiefs, and many other objects hundreds of thousands of years old, ranging from small cutlery to large carriages. Through these precious collections in glass windows, people seem to be able to travel through time and space to see those years that have passed in the dust of history......
During the visit, the noble General Sedlinz was still with him, and he was attentive to Gunnivel many times. Many members of the federal delegation looked at this with curiosity, but Sedlinz did not seem to think so.
While visiting the Knights' Temple in Sebatian, Weiss once again sees Prince Barras, a powerful member of the royal family, whose focus always seems to be on Gunevere. What intrigued Weiss was that Gunevere didn't sing at last night's party, and only Sedlinz had heard her sing live in the East Side. Could it be that just by the words of this confidant, the high-ranking Prince Ballas would be full of interest in this woman from the Commonwealth, and even have developed a sense of admiration? This is the magical fate, inexplicable love at first sight?
Weiss wanted to go up and talk to Prince Barras to see what he had in mind, but when he walked over, the prince disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if he were only a lost soul in front of him, and now he was back in the shell of his master.
The visit lasted all day, and by the evening everyone was tired. After a brief dinner, they all went back to their rooms and went to sleep. The next morning, they had breakfast and set off for their next destination, the Norman capital of Odejar, where Gunnevere was still in good spirits. Of course, there seemed to be some tiredness in his eyes that was difficult to hide.
"How was last night?" Weiss said as usual with concern, and made a joke about yesterday's topic: "Did we heroines go out at night and fumble around and steal the Normans' secrets?" ”
Gunniwell blinked and smiled, "Do you believe I can be a good informant?" ”
Weiss almost patted his head, it was just speculation, he preferred to believe that it was not true, but Gunnevere said solemnly: "I have captured the reckless Normans with my charm, and they have no reservations in order to win my favor." Guess what I saw yesterday? I saw a drawing of a new submachine gun from the Norman Empire in his room! After that, I went back to my room and drew a sketch. ”
As he spoke, Gunnevere pulled out a delicately folded piece of paper from his small purse, and Weiss unfolded it to see that it was indeed a sketch of a weapon. This thing looks like an enlarged Bobosha submachine gun, which uses a drum to feed the ammunition, and the main structure is a reduced version of the machine gun, and it seems that the Normans have also followed the lessons learned on the battlefield to find an automatic weapon suitable for medium and close firefights. This guy looks quite large, and it is estimated that the power on the battlefield is very amazing.
Looking at this drawing, Weiss just wanted to praise Gunnevere, but when she thought about it, she actually went to the room of one of the two last night, and her eyes widened. Without waiting for him to ask, Gunevere saw the doubt in his eyes and sneered, "Are you crazy?" Where do you want to go? I just visited the office of the prince of Baras, who had an office here. He says he spends months in Sebastian every year and loves the snow and ice. If it weren't for the tight schedule, he would have invited me to the Royal Ski Resort. ”
Weiss nodded reassuringly, it seems that this Prince of Barras is also a technical expert, and there are such confidential drawings in the study, but can't he guess that Gunevere came with a purpose? So easily let her get the secret? However, the drawings drawn by Gunnevere have no technical parameters, are only used as a formal reference, and do not have the feasibility of being used out of the box, that is, the Normans did not care to reveal this. Or in Prince Baras's opinion, this item weapon is just a factor on the battlefield, and it is the big guys who really compete for the victory or defeat on the battlefield, such as the flying carrier seen earlier.
"There is an old adage in our family, don't think you're smart, and don't dance with wolves. The meaning of this sentence is that the enemy is very dangerous, even if you have a very clever mind and a very clever mind, don't always try to play tricks on the enemy, because it is very dangerous. You don't know what the enemy is thinking, what is in their heads. ”
Gunniwell didn't know whether to listen to Weiss's reminder or not, she seemed to be immersed in her feat as a superfemale agent, which was a completely different sense from her status as a big star. Let's bring some fresh excitement to her boring life! In Weiss's view, as long as it is under control, it is okay to try, but safety obviously comes first.
After that, the transport ships continued to fly the delegation over the territory of the Norman Empire. Such an arrangement, in the eyes of most people, did reflect the sincerity of the Norman Empire for peace and the establishment of normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, because if the Normans were on guard, they would not allow the military transport planes of the Federation to move around their country. Although there was no serious radar in this era, at least something could be observed and recorded with the naked eye.
For navigation and some necessary safety precautions, the Norman army sent several navigators, liaison officers, and safety officers on the ship, but the number was small and did not enter the sensitive position. During the flight, Weiss was still sitting in the window position overlooking the land, silently observing along the way, when suddenly someone walked towards him, still wearing the costume of the Norman Flying Department.
He looked up and was secretly surprised, it was actually the Prince of Baras!
Could it be that these Norman aristocrats found life too dull and unchallenging, so they always changed their outfits and tried different characters in search of different thrills? Weiss scolded.
The Norman heavyweight, who had been able to rank in the top three, sat down in front of him.
"Genius designer, I heard that you have designed another very good firearm! I didn't believe that they had ushered in a new era and eclipsed all traditional firearms, but after listening to Sedlintz's description, I was very moved - why was such a brilliant genius designer born on the soil of the Federation? ”
"Why are great intelligence officers always born on the territory of the Normandy state?" Weiss retorted aptly.
Prince Barras chuckled a few times, "By the way, what do you think of our new firearms?" ”
Hearing this question, Weiss was not surprised at all, he knew that with Gunevere's simple acting skills, there was no way to hide from these Normans. Sure enough, the other party not only knew that she had stolen the drawings, but also knew that she had passed on the information to herself, and if she put on the hat of stealing military secrets, it was really possible to detain them!
"Equally, don't fall behind." Weiss responded in a simple way.
"I'm looking forward to a fight between them, and of course, it doesn't have to be on the battlefield. At the end of your visit, we are ready to make a return visit, which will be requested...... Well, the invitation, the two sides have a ground force and air force exercise, just like we did when we first met. ”
Seeing this guy's confident appearance, Weiss wanted to punch him in the nose, but he would not do such a thing that could lead to a vicious diplomatic incident or even rupture the relationship between the two countries. In the end, he just frowned and said, "Originally, there was no problem with this kind of friendly exchange, but after you just reminded me, I think it is necessary for me to strengthen the vigilance of the high-level management, so as not to attract your prying eyes after you find out our details." ”
Prince Barras chuckled a few more times, then lowered his voice and said in Norman: "No one can stop our ambitions, no one can stop us, and we will eventually change the color of the world or destroy it." ”
