Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Great Hidden in the City

Perrier had gotten up and left, promising not to appear here a second time, but Borifezno was not at all relieved. Perrier asks him to come up with a way to counteract the otherworldly's advantage in firefighting technology, and passes it on to him through the fabric store's intelligence network.

The fabric shop was not originally his own, but the local Twin Moon Church forces, which had deep roots. Although the church has now been confiscated as "enemy property", the social influence of the church itself has not completely disappeared. Of course, the owner of this shop would not openly clash with the new and powerful central government of Elta, but he did cause a big problem for the central government.

The leader of the remnants of the Bilunar Church, Borifezno, who sheltered and even continued to operate a commercial intelligence network, was used to carry out the plans of Borifezno and Perrier.

So Borifezno didn't have to worry about how the information would get to the outside world, he just had to climb up and knock on the tunnel for the guy to pick up the letter, and then someone would naturally deliver the letter outside the city, or to the soldiers disguised as paupers.

The problem that bothered him was the method itself - how could it offset the advantages of firefighting technology from people from other worlds?

"Perrier, the old fox!" Commander Bori Fitzno bit the tail hair of the quill for a long time, but he couldn't write half a word, and angrily threw the pen aside. Why is it not he who leads the team to take the adventure of hijacking ships, but himself?

You know, there is information about the maiden voyage of the "Liberation Wheel", and they are only a picture of an advertisement taken down from the street. Borifezno stretched out his hand and took the painting from the corner of the table and slowly pondered it.

"It only takes three days to get from the port of Hilzi to the port of Kamra! It only takes 12 days to get to Mendong City at the earliest! ”

"The best choice for bulk shipments! *Stamp letter or telegram confirmation required**Security check required"

From the maiden voyage to the normalization of the regular route of the Liberation Ship, it can be said that the top priority of Kamra's municipal work. Of course, the posters aimed at the citizens of Kamla were not so neurotic as to include the slogan "Securing shipping is securing the life of the city" in the policy document. Citizens only need to know that there is such a ship, which is faster than taking the land route.

As for the various chambers of commerce that need to transport materials, there are also leaflets that are delivered to the door in beautiful envelopes. Of course, a chamber of commerce that is not a close partner of the central government would not have chosen such a means of transportation until there were no means of communication such as telegrams and telephones on both the recipient and the sender.

In addition to the simple and easy-to-understand slogan, the advertising picture shows only a giant ship painted in peace gray riding the wind and waves. Neither the poster nor the poster could be seen from the ship - as before, no matter how many times he looked at it, he was helpless.

The sea on which the sea ships sailed at this time was not calm, but reached the fourth sea state that was not suitable for most of the ships of the Bilunar Church; There were no sails on the masts, and the sheets between them were only for the purpose of sending and receiving radios; The towering chimneys of the ship are not as simple as Perrier thought of as "kitchen fireworks", but propel the whole ship at speeds unimaginable to ordinary sailing ships......

Perrier and Borifezno lacked knowledge of the definition of "common sense" in the plane, and unfortunately knew little about the navigation of the other world itself, and it was expected that they could not read more details from the map.

It's a pity that even the most critical information mixed in those lines was omitted by them. Borifezno glanced at the poster a few times before putting it back in place to continue meditating, while the last line of the poster resting on the book slightly revealed:

"Tickets for this ship will be pre-sold at the city hall starting two days before arrival."

"If you want to dive into the ship, it's absolutely impossible. You can rest assured that you can do this. Wu Ran said as he drank tea after dinner and promised to the mayor of Kamla and the director of the Kamla Port Authority across from him.

Although Kamra's port administration has only just begun, and at this stage it is only engaged in the work of entry and exit and ship registration, but in terms of hierarchical status, it is completely the same as that of the port of exit from Hilqi, so it is also a Chinese official who is in charge of the tasks and responsibilities.

"How do you guarantee security? Our port authority is now short of personnel, although there is a bureau establishment, but only the number of personnel in the department, and we also have to take on the task of mooring the liberation ship docking. ”

The facilities at Kamla Port are not bad in the area to which they belong, but the 5,000-ton Liberation Ship is rudimentary: there are no tugboats, no beacon lights, not even solid quay bollards. This time, the Liberation Ship sent several sets of navigation lights and some building materials for the construction of the new trestle, but getting it to the shore was a painstaking task.

"Security checks and law and order maintenance are our tasks." Wu Ran took out a map of the port, "The safe distance of the berthing area is 200 meters, isolated by foldable barbed wire, the external security is maintained by our police, and the inside of the security area is maintained by the guys of the army." At sea, there are small boats that set up a fence that goes all the way to the seabed, and we can guarantee that everything else is foolproof, except for the air blockade. ”

"What about security?"

"We don't expect more than a hundred passengers this time." The mayor was the first to give an answer. "It is impossible for the cargo to exceed 1,000 tons, and our estimate is 500 tons at most, and at least 80% of them are our own consignments."

"Consignment" is a euphemism for gold, silver, and copper coins. The renminbi has begun to circulate as a hard currency in Kamla as a hard currency, and the recovered old gold, silver and copper coins will be sent back to Mendong City for re-refining.

"That is, the goal of 'ensuring at least 1,000 tons of freight tonnage for the return trip' given to me above cannot be accomplished?" The port authority frowned, and the opinion was obviously not small.

Wu Ran spread his hands and said helplessly: "This can't be helped." The above should also know the principle of safety first, so let the mayor convey this on his behalf. From my point of view, I am personally not in favor of providing services for the delivery of goods to any trusted force. ”

"Then it seems that there is no problem in ensuring the safety of the liberation wheel. Director Wu, how is the investigation of that group of reactionaries? ”

"Now only one node has been identified," Wu Ran drew a circle on the map spread on the table, "As for who the people in it are and what they have done, we don't want to startle the snakes, there should be more big fish waiting to be baited." ”

At the same time, a horse-drawn cart loaded with rolls of cloth slowly drove out of the fabric shop.

The carriage made three turns, and a roll of cloth on the body "suddenly" fell to the ground because of the bumps in the road, and next to it "happened" to be a pauper site renovating the road.

"Brothers, please do me a favor—" The man in the carriage heard the noise, loosened his reins and cried out for help.

"Go ahead, you don't need to ask for instructions for this kind of thing like serving the neighbors." The administrator of the central government, who did not know the inside story, waved his hand heroically, "Now the road surface is a little more bumpy than before, ah--this is also something that cannot be helped." It's been happening a lot lately...... I guess it will be better if the road is smoothed. ”

The two poor workers, who had no idea what the caretaker was talking to himself, nodded to each other, put down their tools, and walked very tacitly to the cloth scroll behind the carriage, one of them with a subtle expression.

"Lighter, pay attention to the left, don't deviate—" The coachman, after settling the horse, also stood on the pedals of the body and directed the movements of the two.

It was a moment of lightning. The man on the left took advantage of the opportunity to carry the roll over his shoulder and put his left hand into the scroll, but this detail was not visible to anyone but them - including the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft hovering in the air with insufficient resolution.

"Thank you—" The coachman smiled contentedly, and steered the carriage away, carrying the rolls of cloth to the garment mill, which was in dire need of raw materials for the winter.

The night of the first day was not long in coming. The anomaly has begun to manifest itself, especially in the poor camps where information has been received.

"The instructions from above are for us to spread the word."

The face of the "pauper" who received the news in the afternoon was reflected in the bowl filled with thick soup, and his mouth was closed and he whispered to the person next to him. "'In six days, someone will cause a great chaos in the city to disrupt the visit of the huge iron ship of the people from another world,' I guess it would be enough to spread this."

"Boss, can you really do it? That's it? Wouldn't that expose our plans? Our attack is not ......"

"Seven days later." The Twin Moon Church Swordsman Trainer, who had initially received the note, replied. "I don't know what the Commander Borifetsno has arranged, just let our people do it."

"So how do you spread it? Do you just bite the ears of those real poor people? We are 'refugees from the north', and our accents are not very similar to those of the locals, how can we communicate with them? ”

Borifezno only gave instructions on "what to do", and as for "what to do", these little shrimps below really have no score at all.

"Moreover, if we bring up these topics abruptly, it is easy to trace our true identity back to the source. By that time, wouldn't the purpose of the chief Borifezno to confuse the enemy have completely failed? ”

"Commander Borifezno is afraid that he has received a deeper level of information from General Perrier and is in a hurry to change direction, right? Don't rush to pass on this latest order to this matter, let me think about it all night. ”

The Bimonthly Church Army, who worked in the "pauper posts" provided by the Chinese side, mixed in in groups as "refugees from the Northern War", and their accents were completely different, so they rarely communicated with the locals. The swordsman's fellow trainer was right—if one of them didn't look at it now, he said, "Have you heard?" There will be big news in the city in six days" whispered, and the first thing that will end up will be their small group itself.
