The train from Kaslai, the capital of the Republic, to Lieman has been open for more than ten years, and the style of the train carriage is a bit old, and the climbing ability is also a bit outdated.

Duchamp looked at the squeambling front of the car and secretly calculated: "If you change the bullet, I'm afraid you can immediately speed up by 7%." ”

The Republic of Calvard pursued the establishment of the field, and the relations with the surrounding countries were not bad, especially in order to export grain and agricultural products to the central and northern parts of the continent, the construction of railways and freight development were relatively early, and the quaint villages along the way gradually showed some modern atmosphere.

Of course, this achievement may be attributed to the Autonomous Oblast of Lehman, an independent state in the east-central part of the continent, which has always been under the suzerainty of the Altrian Code, which had delegated all governing power to its dependencies a hundred years earlier. Relying on this kinship, the Leman Autonomous Prefecture has a good relationship with several surrounding autonomous prefectures that are also subject to the code state as their suzerainty, such as the Norsampuria Autonomous Prefecture and the Oride Autonomous Prefecture.

Although the area of the Leman Autonomous Prefecture is small, it has a wide influence in the north-central part of the mainland, and it is the hometown of Epstein, the founder of conductivity, and the seat of the Epstein Foundation, which is responsible for promoting the application of conductive force, and has made great contributions to the promotion of the mainland's guiding force, and at the same time, it also sponsors the activities of the guerrilla association.

After the deterioration of the environment in Northumbria, the wealthy Autonomous Prefecture of Leman became the preferred escape place for the Northumbaulian people, and many people came here to find work and wait for relief from the Codex State, which also exported a lot of labor to Leman and brought new security problems.

After Duchamp and the others got off the bus in Lehmann, the capital of the Autonomous Prefecture and the only large city in the territory, before he could take a look at this holy place of conductivity, he was yelled at by Fried to look for acquaintances in the city.

In a secluded alley in the city of Lehmann, a sign hangs: "Northumbrian Relief". Fried walked in, and the staff inside were all familiar with him, and stood up respectfully to greet him.

"It's been years since I've been back, Fried, and I'm glad to have received your letter." The head of the relief society, a middle-aged man about his age, stood up and happily hugged him.

"Yes, I've been busy for the past few years, and I finally got a little surplus, so I rushed back to take a look. By the way, what has been the situation in Northumbaulia in recent years? ”

"It's still the same, the climate is terrible, the state government has done nothing to change the status quo, and if there is a change, it is even more chaotic." Bauer poured everyone a cup of black coffee, frowning. "Our old acquaintances, I feel that they have gone further and further, and only you, Fried, can control such a chaotic organization."

On the wall of Bauer's office, there was a map, which was a map of Northumbria, he stood on the map with his coffee, poked the southwest side of the map with his finger, and said: "In recent years, the reputation of the 'North Chasseur' has become bigger and bigger, and even a mercenary guild has been established to take over business. The new generation of children doesn't want to learn anything, they want to learn the skill of killing people so that they can make a lot of money in the future. ”

Fried snorted, he had also heard of these things, and he said in a low voice: "I heard that there are many hunting regiments of our Northumbrians, all of whom take on any task and make any money, from the empire to the republic, they are busy everywhere, and they have developed very rapidly in recent years, and even heavy weapons such as artillery are available. ”

"And that's not all!" Bauer added: "In recent years, the new corps has emerged, but not only them, but also some outsiders, who have taken a fancy to the chaos in Northumboria, and have come here to recruit troops. Nurias, however, has become a continent-wide supply of mercenaries. ”

"Alright, alright, cheer up." Fried stopped the disappointing topic, "I'm bringing a lot of grain and cooking oil with me this time. ”

Bauer's eyes lit up: "How many"

"3,000 torim corn and wheat will be delivered to Leman in two months, and a wagon of cooking oil will arrive tonight."

Bauer perked up his spirits and shouted violently, "Oh my God, Fried, you have made a fortune, and you have so much food, but you can use it a lot." He spun around the office and then asked, "What are you going to do with the food?" ”

Fried had already discussed this question with everyone: "Half of it will be donated to the school as a lunch for the students, and half will be saved for the association's winter relief." This little thing, sprinkled in the crowd, really doesn't really work. ”

Bauer nodded and said: "There are fewer and fewer children going to school in Sunday school in recent years, although the church pities the current situation in Nosampuria, school is free, but it can't attract children, if they can provide them with free lunch, I think many families are willing to send their children to school." If you study more, you will be able to find a different way out in the future. ”

A young voice interjected: "Estimate how many children need to go to school in Norsampuria, lunch alone is not enough, add both of their meals, calculate how many mira are needed for a year, and we will raise the cost later." ”

Bauer looked up and was surprised to see that it was a young man who had followed Fried to speak.

"This is my business partner," said Friede, "and forty percent of the materials we donate are from him, and twenty percent from Baron Teresa, the lord of the city where I live. ”

Bauer gratefully pounced, and a bear hugged Duchamp: "Oh my God, thank you so much, as a non-Northumbrian, we can only say thank you for everything you have done for Northumbauria." ”

Duchamp was imprisoned by this excited uncle, a little overwhelmed, and after a long time struggled out, coughed, and continued:

"I believe that there are many people on the mainland who are concerned about the current situation in Northumbria, but there are not many people who can help. Personally, I firmly believe in what Fried said that such a natural disaster must not be left to the Northumbrians alone, so I came with Captain Fried this time to really understand the real situation here, so as to see what more effective solutions can be made. ”

Grateful for this, Bauer took out a lot of information and said: "This is the information collected by the relief society, and there is a detailed report on the difficulties faced by Northumboria, and through these reports, we have been seeking a certain amount of assistance from the surrounding countries every year, and this information has been collected for more than ten years, and you should have a deeper understanding of it." ”

Duchamp quickly skimmed through the reports and asked tentatively, "Isn't there anything about the area north of the Grebe River?" ”

Bauer sighed and said, "What else can be written into the report over there but salt and wind." ”

Duchamp was silent.
