"Baladhou...... I think I've heard it somewhere. Alyssa muttered quietly.

She has not officially entered the Lane Forte Group for a long time, and she has not mixed with the social world before, and her knowledge of nobility is only limited to the Northland family and people related to Tolz, and other famous nobles have heard the name at most.

Of course, if this marquis came to the Fourth Development Department to talk about business, it would be another matter, and Alyssa would definitely collect information in advance to fully understand this person and know herself and her enemy.

Something similar has been done by Irina, and this process is still taught by Irina. As Irina's right-hand man, Sharon is already well aware of Ballard's information, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"The Marquis de Ballard, whose full name is William Ballard, is the interim administrator of the state of Lamar and the last person likely to succeed the Duke of Kane. It is the group's largest partner in the western region and the majority shareholder of the western branch. ”

"It turned out to be him."

As soon as she said that, Alyssa remembered.

She still knows about the western branch, and says that she has received strong support from the next Kane Gong.

For Duke Kane, Alyssa and even the entire old Class VII are disgusted.

The largest nobleman of the empire, the greatest messenger of the civil war, and the leader of the "noble alliance", wants to revive the great cause of the ancestor Otlus.

Because of his ambitions, the empire suffered huge losses, imprisoned the royal family, and used Cedric to activate the "Scarlet Rider" to leave a huge shadow on the latter, which indirectly led to Chloe's death.

After committing so many crimes, it is naturally impossible for the duke to be placed on him anymore. However, considering the long aristocratic history of the empire and the post-war revival, Emperor Yukente III did not deprive the Kane family of the hereditary title and the status of the four famous families, and the duke title can still be passed on according to the normal process.

The Duke of Kane is a sparse family, and the only one who is still active is the Marquis of Ballard, but he is also the tallest of the short.

There is a little ability, but it is a selfish ability. Relying on the advantage of blood and the lack of competitors, he only knew how to damage the public and private interests, and abused his power during his tenure as the governor of Ramar State, and reaped a lot of benefits for himself.

Many nobles are talking behind their backs that the Kane clan is really about to decline.

"What did he do?"

Sharon didn't answer Alyssa's question directly, but looked at Irina first.

Sharon is very measured and prioritized, and her loyalty comes first and then to Alyssa.

It doesn't matter if it's a small thing, but a big thing will never be overcome.

Irina spoke: "He ordered four new train guns, intending to use them as the biggest bargaining chip in his succession to Duke Kane. ”

For this reason, Ballard did not ask for secrecy, but instead intended to hype it up once it was completed.

"Why did he build this weapon? Not afraid of being suspected of rebellion by the government? Alyssa couldn't figure it out.

The western state of Ramar is the westernmost part of the Semliya continent, and there is no border with it, and the border is basically on the sea. The nearest city of Julai, which was also annexed by the Empire, was absolutely safe, and there was no need to waste money and resources on the construction of such weapons of mass destruction.

Besides, it has only been a year and a half since he took office as Lord Kane, and construction is too sensitive at this time.

"He wanted to give the train cannon to the regular army in exchange for government support." Irina gives an explanation.

Ballard believed that there was no rival among the nobles, and that the only obstacle could only come from the government, after all, he had a bad reputation.

"It's still weird." Alyssa added, "The most useful place for the train cannon is on the border with Calvard, and the corresponding forts are all planned. ”

"I also analyzed it from this aspect, and I felt that there was something wrong with this matter, as if someone was pushing behind it."

Hearing Irina say this, the doubts in Ryne's heart were finally dispelled.

"There are people behind the push to stir up unrest in Ramar State, and my aim is to disrupt it."

"How are you going to destroy?" Irina asked, "The agreement has been signed, and it is impossible not to deliver or backorder." Baladehou had been keeping an eye on it, and he knew the progress of each day. ”

"It doesn't have to be to that extent."

Li En shook his head, a sudden change of hexagram would have easily aroused suspicion and led to a change.

"I hope to be able to move a little bit on the train cannon, usually everything is normal, but at the critical moment it gets stuck and can't shoot the cannon."

"This request ......" Irina closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded, "There is a certain feasibility, Sharon, you will deal with it." None of this has anything to do with Ryan Fuerte, it is a device secretly installed by someone in order to harm the group and partners. ”

"Understood, President." Sharon smiled.

This would not affect Ryan Fuorte's reputation, nor would he fulfill Lien's wishes.

The method Sharon has already thought of. It is impossible for a weapon like a train cannon to be pulled out and fired twice like a conventional weapon.

At most, it is a few test shots at the factory and delivery, and the empty cartridge is still used, so just use some hands and feet on the launch mechanism to let it stop after the test firing period.

Of course, De Sharon found an opportunity to install it secretly, and there must be traces of it after the fact, so that Irina could shirk her responsibility.

Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if what Lane is worried about doesn't happen, and it will be handed over to the regular army and then find a chance to tear it down. The installation and maintenance process of the train gun is different from that of ordinary weapons, and Ryan Forte needs to send someone to follow up and be responsible, and there are many opportunities.

"Thank you, Miss Sharon." Lane smiled and greeted.

Irina asked again, "Are there any other requirements?" ”

"Yes, yes, but not urgently. During this time, you can verify the information I gave first, and you can't always give and there is no return. "When you see it, you will accept it, Li En understands.

"Actually, I've been rewarded." Irina glanced at Sharon.

Li En probably guessed that the two had remade the contract, and he was happy in his heart, but he said: "That doesn't count, and I won't care about gains and losses in this kind of thing." ”

This sentence made Irina look at Rien deeply: "You- very good, arguably the best young man in the empire. It's very reassuring to be friends and partners with people like you, but as Alyssa's mother, it's hard for me to trust my daughter to you. ”

"Clams?" Li En was stunned.

"Mom!" Alyssa panicked, blushing and waving her hand frantically, "I, there's nothing between us." ”

"Really?" Irina smiled and didn't say much.

"President, please don't worry, I will do my best to help the eldest lady." Sharon patted his chest.

Irina let out another hehe.

Silly girl, I'm afraid you'll put yourself in it.

A man like Rien Schwarzer is poison for a woman.
