On the morning of February 24, Duchamp went to the Green Leaf Civil Steering Office and spoke with Irina, telling her that he no longer occupied the source of the manufacturing office.

"The director of the factory told me that none of the machines in the factory were running, only the source of the guide was running at full capacity, don't you need to tell me why?"

"How do I know this, I'm just borrowing it for others."

"Hmph, do I have to charge a certain amount of rent?"

"Collect it, collect it, hang the account first, by the way, maybe there will be a little less material in the factory, and it will also be on the account."

"What?" Irina yelled at Duchamp, "Why didn't I hear you mention it first?" ”

"I really don't know, I'm just borrowing it for others." Duchamp's words were full of innocence.

In order not to waste the rare source of conduction, he placed a few orders for the conduction workbench last night, and then fell asleep. Who would have thought that the guide workbench would put a robot to go to the warehouse to move materials, and by the way, it also replenished a lot of inventory.

By the way, there are a lot of high-strength alloy materials in the warehouse of the 7th Factory, which is a good thing that cannot be bought outside.

"Okay, since you have used everything, then forget it, hurry to the imperial capital, and now it is at a critical moment." Irina said.

"Any updates?" Duchamp remembered that he had not paid attention to the progress of the airship program in recent days.

"Now we are at a watershed, during the time you rushed back to Lulei, I have been in contact with both the aristocracy and the reformers, and I have received two completely different voices about the plan we proposed, and the pressure on both sides is very great, if we can't make a breakthrough, this plan can only be shelved." Irina's voice sounded tired.

"I'll go to the station right away, and I'll be able to reach the imperial capital in the evening."

"In the evening, it's too late, the Ryan Ford is now parked in Ruray, I will immediately inform you to prepare the airship, and in half an hour, you will go to the helipad of the Ryan Ford Club and take the airship over."

"It's good that you can get to the imperial capital early with an airship, and you can meet Mr. Lincoln before the magic jewelry auction." Duchamp thought to himself.

Ending the communication, Duchamp prepared to rush to the airship flat of the Lane Ford Society.

"President, there's a big stack of documents here, haven't you read it?" Emma asked in shock when she saw that he was leaving.

Duchamp touched his nose, it is true that he has paid too little attention to the work of the Green Leaf Society recently.

He looked at his watch and said, "It will take 20 minutes to prepare for the airship, so you can pick up the important things and tell me." Find another colleague who has a car and give me a ride. ”

Half an hour later, at the airship flat behind the headquarters of the Lane Ford Society, an employee of the Green Leaf Club pedaled his bicycle out of breath and sent Duchamp to the airship flat.

The crew members of the airship couldn't help but show contempt when they saw that the person who was going to carry the president's plane turned out to be such a turtle.

Two hours later, the airship arrived at Heimdall Airport, where Irina waited with a grim expression.

She boarded the airship and showed Duchamp the prepared documents one by one.

After Duchamp read it, he kept admiring loudly, the big institutions are different, the materials are detailed and well-planned, and it seems that the benefits of the country and the people are impeccable.

"The perfect plan, where are you stuck now?" Duchamp asked.

"Now there is a different voice in the cabinet, and some people believe that such a costly airship plan is only the welfare of a few people in the end, and only a few nobles can afford to consume it, and it does not have much effect on the national economy. As a result, we have stirred up trouble in the media, and the public opinion caused by this is very unfavorable to us. Irina said with a dark face.

"Why doesn't the media give Lane Ford face at all?" Duchamp was surprised.

"It's the most authoritative Imperial Daily in the Empire, and you can imagine the pressure I'm under now." Irina screamed hysterically.

She stood up, grabbed Duchamp by the collar, and shouted, "You don't know how important this plan is to me, I have called on the vast resources of the Lane Ford Society, so to speak, desperately, to put all my reputation on it, and if this plan fails, my prestige on the board of directors will be ruined." ”

Duchamp quickly grabbed himself by the collar to keep his breath.

"The media of the empire is not like that, they are all manipulated, who is behind the "Imperial Daily"?"

Irina let go of Duchamp's collar and said in a smug voice, "It's the Prime Minister." ”

"Shhhh Duchamp gasped, this was definitely not something he could play.

He asked relentlessly, "Is the Prime Minister very opposed to this matter?" ”

Irina said fiercely: "The Prime Minister's henchman has proposed to the cabinet a plan that is different from ours, to take the civil aviation industry into the state monopoly like the railway, which is exactly the same as you speculated before!" In addition, the great nobles in each region have also put forward their own plans to build airports and air routes in their respective territories, and then form a joint shipping network from various routes, which can be said to be in opposition to the prime minister's plan, and at present, the two sides are using their respective political forces to confront. ”

Duchamp listened to the two options with disgust and asked, "If one of these two options is implemented, how much will it affect our original sales plan?" ”

Irina said angrily: "The market has shrunk by at least two-thirds, and if it is monopolized by the government, the officials will ask for all kinds of benefits, and in the end we will only make a profit." ”

Du Shang snorted and said: "All of them are sanctimonious, what they say is better than singing, the civil aviation industry is monopolized by the state, can the regular ferry tickets be lowered, and it is good not to close the business at a loss." Those aristocrats are also a bunch of fools, and the more they dance jubilantly, the more they will give the reformers. ”

Duchamp was about to continue, when he suddenly saw a dejected expression on Irina's face, which was rare on a businesswoman's face.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately changed his optimistic expression and said, "You don't have to worry, don't we still have a preparatory plan, now is the time to use it." ”

The businesswoman wondered: "What kind of plan?" ”

Duchamp said with great ambition: "It is to upgrade the Airship Association to the Royal Airship Association, as long as we do it, hum, these two factions will only obediently put out the fire." ”

The expression on the businesswoman's face lit up and she asked, "You have mysteriously disappeared for so long recently, what are you doing hiding in the Seventh Fabrication, is it related to this?" ”

Duchamp said proudly: "I can only tell you part of the content." There was a person who was deeply trusted by His Majesty to help His Majesty do something, but after agreeing, he found that he could not accomplish it by his ability, so he secretly looked for someone who could help him complete it in private. I happened to know someone who could do it, so he made a private agreement with me that once I had done it for him, he would do me as much as he could. ”

"So you helped him complete the commission?" Irina looked Duchamp up and down empty-handed.

Duchamp shook his forehead and said proudly: "Don't try to get words out of my mouth anymore, we have agreed on a confidentiality agreement, and once the secret is leaked, the agreement will be invalid." I'm going to see the guy right now, and if it goes well, I'll know the results in the evening or tomorrow. ”

Irina's eyes lit up and urged: "Then you go quickly, I am waiting here to hear your good news." ”
