This is really a super big fat man, medium build, but at least at least a weight of more than 100 kilograms. The face, ears, torso, and even limbs are so rounded everywhere that the neck is completely invisible. He has a pair of small mung bean eyes and thick lips, which should be regarded as unsightly, but there seems to be some sloppy gaze in the small eyes, and the thick lips also look very stocky.

Of course, the name Palahila still sounds quite famous, and Lu Xi is still wondering which family sent him to find trouble. However, look at the other party's loyal and honest fat face, where have I seen it. So he asked kindly, "Well, Colonel, have we met somewhere before?" ”

And so, the chubby Mr. Colonel cried even more sadly, and the tears almost flowed into lasagna, and the tears almost fell on the carpet. Lu Xi felt that this was really dirty, and felt that if this guy was really going to wipe his snot on the carpet, he would definitely blow up his greasy head before that. You know, the carpets in the office are priceless Gaugamean carpets, with a price of about 500 gold mila per square meter, which Karin sent to celebrate her ascension.

"Your Excellency," ...... the Colonel cried, as if he were a small animal abandoned by the world and its race...... Well, or maybe it's an oversized animal with obesity. All in all, he lay on the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face vigorously before tears and snot flowed to the carpet, his eyes made contact with the patterns on the carpet, and a trace of amazement and envy flashed in the mung bean's eyes. Then he hurriedly shrank back a meter with his hands and feet, raised his head and showed a flattering smile at Lu Xi, trying his best to put on a look of "We are small people, we will never stain your carpet".

Well, such a well-trained guy is also a wonderful person, although it is indeed a little vulgar. Anyway, where did I see him?

Andrel's smile began to grow a little awkward, and the Colonel's eyes were full of unfriendliness. The other party swore that he was an old comrade-in-arms of His Excellency the Commander or something, and he brought him here.

“…… You. Sai Xiliu sighed helplessly, leaned down and whispered a few words to Lu Xi.

"Oh yes, it's Fox dude!" Lu Xi clapped his hands, and suddenly squeezed out an affectionate smile, and stepped forward to help the other party: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are ...... Well, promoted. It's getting richer! ”

Lu Xi's "brother" seemed to regard this fat man as a friend rather than a simple subordinate colleague relationship. Of course, Colonel Palahila's intelligence could not be understood, so in an instant, he went from a begging, desperate, and bereaved dying person to a high-speed transformation of energy recovery, vitality, and vitality. He didn't stand upright, he still bent down and tried his best to show his inferior identity in front of Lu Xi, although he was still in tears, he was full of a calm sense of security, like a stray dog that had finally found someone to adopt.

"Woo woo woo, Lord Lu Xi, please save me!"

This Lord Lu Xi really had a little taste of cuckoo crying blood, and Andrell suddenly shuddered and took a few steps back. Even if he knew that the other party was this Sai Xiliu, he couldn't help but pout, and then showed an expression of admiration.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, let's talk about something slowly. Come, sit down, sit down. Sehireu, I want iced honey tea, give Brother Fawkes a cup of coffee. "If you hold my thighs and cry, and see if I'm really going to put a big fireball on your fat bun face.

Lu Xi rarely treats people so politely, not to mention that the object is still such a greasy big fat man. So Andreil was a little surprised, and froze in place for more than three seconds, but Sehireu calmly went to prepare the drink. She is a good girl, she understands very well the truth that she has to give face to a man in front of outsiders, and at the same time, she almost knows the bottom line of Lu Xi's industry, and she also understands the importance of this dead fat man.

Many people, including the will of the great universe, almost forgot about this fat man. So let's revisit the character introduction. Do you still remember the epic event that Lu Xi led a small team of capable volunteers and his own brain-dead fans to go deep into the mountains of Namoa, search and rescue all the remnants of the Federation scattered there, and escaped the encirclement and suppression of all the undead and orc armies, took them out of the mountains and the Black Forest, and finally successfully escaped to the Black Mancheng City? Yes, it has really become a famous historical event, known as the "three-thousand-mile shuttle", which is regarded by military strategists of various countries as a textbook-like model of shuttle and retreat behind enemy lines, and has also been listed in military textbooks and history textbooks. In the future, there will be countless dramas and various audio-visual literary and artistic works on this matter. There will also be characters based on this fat man in many works, but most of them are not glamorous images, basically the pig teammates or the chicken killed by the eternally glorious protagonist.

He was indeed guilty of public anger, and during his escape, he was still thinking about snatching the spoils of war or something, and was almost cut down by the then fugitive Federal Force, Lieutenant Colonel Basil...... Well, speaking of which, I haven't seen Lieutenant Colonel Basil for a while, and although I've only worked together for a short time, I'm a real martial artist. I heard that Théraylight of the Sixth Legion has been favored as the chief centurion and flag officer, and now he has been promoted to colonel.

Master Russell has indeed changed a lot since he became the Führer. Colonel Basil and Colonel Grimmar have also become high-ranking officers, which is of course a good thing for the army, but it is certainly a bad thing for the birth-oriented gatekeepers. That's not the focus of today, though. The point is that at that time, Lu Xi did withstand the pressure of many people and saved this dead fat man, not because this fat man was a serious and good person, nor because he was handsome, but to thank him for having a good father, Neosfia, the largest chaebol head, the old Viscount Yutic.

Although he was an illegitimate child, he did like Viscount Utić very much, so he would find a future for him. In fact, Lu Xi was able to open up the situation in Neosfia so quickly, in addition to Karin's uncle and grandfather, Marquis of Asut, he did borrow the power of this dead fat man's family.

To make it clear, the land of the laboratory and the first workshop of the Future Guiding Chamber of Commerce on the outskirts of Neosfia was still sold to him at a low price. In addition, the guiding lamps, guiding furnaces and guiding refrigerators have begun to be exported to the city-states of Sosnes, providing Lu Xi with a steady stream of large sums of gold, which is indeed due to the commercial channels of the people, the fleet under the command of the Marquis of Ashut can transport goods to the coast of Chenhai, and even any port in the Far West Continent, but the prestige of the princes and city lords of the Sothness continent is not as good as the Yutich family, which has been operating there for hundreds of years. This family is known as the "King of South China Sea Qian", and the viscount title of the head of the family is still canonized by the Hetil Kingdom of the Southern Continent, which perished hundreds of years ago, and the ancestors are said to still have the blood of the Samyi people, of course, they will be regarded as their own people by the South China Sea countries.

Of course, Lu Xi was able to get in touch with the "South China Sea Money King" so quickly, and this dead fat man who was saved by himself did make a lot of efforts.

In addition, the reason why there is no mention of the Yutich family and the damn fat man in the Neosfia chapter is that he doesn't want to be counted, and it is definitely not the will of the universe that forgets him. It's true!

"So, what's the matter with you saying that you want me to save your life?" Lu Xi asked curiously, "Do you owe usury?" ”

Speaking of which, the Future Chamber of Commerce gave him a large amount of intermediary fees. This guy is also very investment-minded, and before the future building was built, he smashed the pot and sold the iron to take over several shops in the neighborhood, and now just lying down and collecting rent is enough for himself to live a life of a superior person in Neosfia. Ordinary people would have quit their jobs and enjoyed life at this time. However, this fat colonel seems to be a little ambitious, and he is quite attentive to his work. I remember that after he returned from Heiman City, because he (lying down) had some merits, he was promoted to the General Logistics Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and his work for several years was quite praised.

"So, you have money and a future, and you can't imagine what trouble you will have. Isn't it a bad gamble that owes someone a loan shark, or a junior who slept with a son? Don't worry, no matter what, I can help you solve any problem. We're friends. Lu Xi patted Colonel Palahila on the shoulder, his face full of sincerity.

Sai Xiliu entered the house with iced honey tea and coffee, his expression seemed to be a little stiff, probably disgusted by Lu Xi's shamelessness.

As for the dead fat man...... Ah no, Lu Xi's "good friend" Colonel Palahila was even more in tears, but this time he was clearly moved. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his face vigorously, calmed down for a while, and then squeezed out a smile on his face: "Well, Rear Admiral Bebart, the former commander of the Central Fleet, wasn't you sent to the gendarmerie?" So, hey, hey, hey, the little one moved a little. ”

“…… Do you fancy the position of Chief of Armament? Oh, this is a crater. And you're still a colonel, and you're a little lacking in both military rank and past qualifications, right? ”

"You are laughing, how dare a villain have such delusions? Being able to be the Chief of Shipping in the Fleet Affairs Department is already a blessing of the goddess, well, and Lord Lu Xi's care. Uh, but, you know that, right? The losses of our Central Fleet in the Battle of Farahal are still quite large, and although a new type of battleship Oruseiro has entered service, it is far from being restored to the scale it should be. The new fast warships built by several major shipyards of the Federation in the past few years have also been handed over to the Eastern Fleet and the newly established Chenhai Fleet, but there are only a few shipyards that can build warships, and the production capacity is the same thing......"

"Get down to business."

"Yes, yes, so, well, the little one came up with a way to let the shipyard in Neosfia help us undertake some of the construction of the battleship......"

"Hey, you really have ideas and action! Brother Fawkes, this is indeed a solution, but do you really know what the Tisru nuclear and the construction process of floating battleships mean to the Federation? Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "If it's because of this proposal, people mistakenly think that the intention is wrong, then I can't save you at all." ”

The fat man hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, Lord Lu Xi, you misunderstood, although the villain is a little greedy, uh, but he doesn't know whether he lives or dies!" Well, my proposal is really just to build the hull in Neosfia's shipyard, and we just need to transport the Tisru core and the alchemists who are responsible for drawing the inner magic circle to assemble it there. Wait until the hull is completely built, and then drive back to the country to install weapons. ”

He paused for a moment, then said, "To be honest, the special thing about the floating battleship is only the Tisru core and the various magic circles inside the hull that reduce the total, levitation, and power supply, plus our matching magic weapons...... Just the overall design of the battleship, the rationality of the hull structure, and even the material craftsmanship of the hull, we are actually inferior to Neosphia and the High Elves. ”

"It's not inferior, it's a big difference overall." Lu Xi bowed. He said that he had long been upset with these floating warships that had no new ideas, were complacent, and full of stale atmosphere. It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Union, and the vast majority of warships in service have not made any decisive progress compared to the first floating warships designed by the Founding Fathers. If it weren't for the ability to fly, the so-called Nacibia, the pride of the Federation Navy, would definitely be blasted out of the scum by the ancestor Shenzhou of the high elves when it was put on the surface of the sea.

In short, compared to the battleships, the yachts of various giants have a better sense of design.

Lu Xide admitted that the colonel's idea was quite reliable. Compared to the alchemy process of installing Tisru cores and weapons, and drawing various magic circles on the hull, the construction of the ship's hull is actually the most time-consuming. Of course, installing tisru cores on other people's turf will add some costs to secrecy work, but compared to the military costs and time saved, this is completely negligible.

"So, your motion was voted down? So you came to me for help? Lu Xi asked.

"No, no, no, it's actually passed." The colonel smiled bitterly: "Actually, when I submitted this proposal, I was praised by Master Rassell, who was still serving as the Minister of War, and Master Dandy Lane, who was the commander of the fleet at the time. As a result, the state decided to hand over two battleships of the first rank and two new high-speed warships to the Voyage Star shipyard in Neosfia......"

"Also, the Voyage is the second largest shipyard in Neosfia, but that's your Utich family's property, right?"

"This, hey, hey, hey, don't avoid kissing. Moreover, Yuanhangxing has rich experience in the construction of warships, and it is of good quality and low price. I can't think of it, although the Queen's Bay shipyard of the Ashuter family, although it is known as the world's largest shipyard, it is mostly merchant ships and expedition ships. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not from the Ministry of Supervision, so you don't have to explain this to me. Anyway, it sounds like everything is good now. ”

“…… But, now, here comes the problem! The fat man wiped the fine sweat from his face: "...... Somehow, the Wood Elves suddenly raised the price of wood, especially Silver Oak. You know, silver oak is the best marine material in the world, but it's also only the Norda Forest and the World Tree Gardens that grow in abundance. ”

"Well, I think I heard it mentioned last time. Norda Development Group believes that it is already possible to sell crafts and tactical guides through the commercial channels laid out by the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so that there is no need to sell so much timber to earn foreign exchange. ”

"Well, it's not a matter of earning foreign exchange! Silver oak has risen like this, and the deposit paid by the state is not even enough for the down payment to buy materials! I, this, the villain's family is also in business, although it is still a small asset, but I can't bear this kind of loss! ”

"Wouldn't you just use silver oak? Cypress, fir, pine, these are not all over the world. ”

When will you scum be able to use your brains to point out the tech tree of the pure steel ship? Could it be that the silver oak clad iron sheet of the Orucello is your limit? Tsk, the defense of a battleship ultimately depends on the wood rather than the material, don't you feel the pain of the egg? Lu Xi expressed disdain.

"But, however, the contract between the shipyard and the Federation clearly states that the hull must be made of silver oak. This is the first time we've taken on a federal business, and we want to do our best. In order for this to happen, I even wrote a guarantee. At this point, the fat man's tears came out again. He knelt down with a "poof" again: "My lord, you want to save me, you really want to save me." The family is already considering giving up this business rather than paying double the liquidated damages, but what can the villain do? The villain is really desperate! If I can't, I'll really have to go to the chiefs with my head up. ”
