Su Hao's brows kept furrowing, his eyebrows frowning together, but he couldn't tell whether he was worried or worried.

Dai Xiaolou didn't lie. Every word he said was exactly the same as what Su Hao had learned.

Su Hao knew that the zircon in his hand could be sold for a lot of money. Both the Reich Industrial Directorate and the Wehrmacht are willing to pay enough chips. The only question is: will the exchange be equal? Or even a naked occupation?

The previous siege of Konoha Town by dark creatures did not seem to have any effect on Brigadier General Badam. He was still the supreme commander of the 441st Division. If it chooses to hand over to the Wehrmacht, the whole set of work for receiving and inspecting the materials for delivery in accordance with the regulations must be carried out by the 441st Division. Considering what had happened before, Su Hao didn't think it was a wise choice.

Handed over to the Imperial Industries Administration to get a bonus? This choice was vetoed by Su Hao from the beginning. No matter in any era, a rich commoner is a fat and round pig. The zircon reserves in the H propyl993 space field have been proven to be as high as hundreds of millions of tons. Even a ton of zircon is worth a gold coin, which is a huge astronomical amount. The nobles of the empire will definitely not let go of Su Hao, who has a huge amount of wealth, as long as the information in the space domain is exposed, he will immediately be torn to pieces by these guys who are even more greedy than hyenas.

Therefore, Su Hao could only throw himself at the military.

The question is, exactly the choice of the Wehrmacht?

Or choose the main legion?

Dai Xiaolou can be regarded as an acquaintance. This guy does things impartially, although he is smooth, but he is also fair. What's more important is that Su Hao has an indescribable closeness to him. Several times, Su Hao instinctively felt that he could trust this guy. But why, Su Hao himself can't say clearly.

"You should choose the main legion, choose the Iron Fist."

Dai Xiaolou saw Su Hao's hesitation, smiled and increased the weight of his words: "The twenty percent payment amount is definitely not negotiable." However, I can help you get more preferential treatment. For example, there will be an appropriate increase in military merit and weaponry, and there will be more types of weapons and equipment. Hehe! Don't underestimate the military exploits of the main legion, many nobles dream of it, but they can't even reach the threshold. Those fools only saw the difference in rank between brigadier general and major, but never thought about the equipment and treatment between the Wehrmacht and the main corps. The simplest example: when facing the dark aristocracy, a Wehrmacht brigadier general can only turn and flee, but the major of the main army can rush up and kill the opponent. That's the gap! ”

There are some things that can't be said too obviously. Dai Xiaolou believes that Su Hao should be able to understand what he wants to express.

Su Hao finally paid more attention to the choice in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "There is another problem. Last time you said that my friends and I were servants of the main legion of the "Iron Fist"? ”

Dai Xiaolou nodded: "The speed at which you turned on the space converter was too fast, and you had already left before I could send the number of the troops." The original copy of the identity document has been filed on my side, and I will pass the copy to you. Remember your name: 6615207 Infantry Battalion of the Servants of the Iron Fist. ”

Su Hao stared at the screen, his voice and tone of voice were very strict: "So, when can we become the official staff of the "Iron Fist"? ”

"It also requires merit."

Dai Xiaolou put away the smile on his face, and his voice also became solemn: "As long as you continue to hand over more strategic resources and continue to accumulate military merits, you can get what you want." ”

……

A week later, a huge military airship landed on a makeshift airfield in Konoha Town.

Su Hao did not choose to exchange the contribution points of the Huàn Empire, but exchanged all the zircons he brought back into the military merits recognized by the main army of the "Iron Fist". Although the contribution points will also be recognized by the main army, and the actual value is far higher than the military merits, Su Hao has never thought of fighting for the benefits of it. Getting too much benefit often means more danger. The aristocrats are going crazy thinking about wanting to contribute points, and if you let them know that they have received a lot of contribution points, it will undoubtedly mean that they have gained a lot of money in the space field. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be a problem that Dai Xiaolou can solve by intervening, and Konoha Town will also be completely turned into powder under the competition of locust-like nobles.

The military exploits of the main corps are classified internally. Although the standards are strict, there is no need to worry about dangers such as data leakage.

Looking at the four containers unloaded from the cargo hold of the airship, everyone's feelings became excited.

Under Dai Xiaolou's construction, Su Hao bought the standard weapons of the main army of fifty people, as well as the standard equipment of two hundred people of the Wehrmacht. The differences between the two are mainly expressed in details such as the caliber of short-barreled rifles, the rate of fire, the warhead, etc., as well as the specific functions of military backpacks. According to Su Hao's original meaning, he wanted to get more ordinary configuration power armors. Dai Xiaolou directly rejected this request, and bluntly told him: more than 500 kilograms of high-grade zircon is simply not enough for a battle armor. Even exchanging contribution points for huàn is not enough. Unless, Su Hao can bring back more ore from the space realm, and form a stable resource supply channel with the "Iron Fist".

Despite this, the standard combat uniforms of the Wehrmacht, the defensive power is still not negligible. At the very least, the defensive effect is far beyond the ordinary cloak of the mercenaries in Konoha Town.

A set of medium-sized mining equipment is certainly no less. At the same time, there is also a set of amplification devices to maintain the stability of the space conversion system. With this kind of thing, the duration of the Space Converter can be multiplied by the number of hedrons invested in the energy engine. As long as there are enough hedrons, the space door will be open even for a whole year without a problem while maintaining a fixed temperature.

Su Hao has been appointed by Qiao Tianyu as the new mayor. The promotion was immediately echoed by all townspeople. Su Hao's original reputation was very good, and coupled with the relationship between Kenson and Mo Xingkui, it was naturally easy to select elites from mercenaries and hunters to form a new escort force.

He didn't rush to turn on the space converter, but spent a lot of time reorganizing the mercenaries in Konoha Town. These people have a new name: "Small Town Guards".

Su Hao returned to his job as a doctor. The rest of the work was left to Kenson and Mo Xingkui, who just stayed in the new hospital every day, smiling at every patient or wounded.

It takes time to develop a "swarm". Before he was sure that these people under him had enough loyalty, Su Hao would definitely not turn on the space converter. In the face of great wealth, anyone can get lost and become a speculator or whistleblower. Only the "worker bees" do not do this.

It is mainly under the jurisdiction of the main legion, and Su Hao is not worried about the spatial conversion coordinates being taken away. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of the main corps. Because the legion is only subordinate to the emperor, and does not have the energy to manage space resources. It can be seen from the number of Su Hao's department that there are as many as one million servant troops under the "Iron Fist", and there are an astonishing amount of resources to supply the main army every day.

This is just a legion of the "Iron Fist", if you look at the entire empire, the scale and number are terrifying, it is simply unimaginable.

……

About two kilometers outside of Konoha Town, there is a lonely hill pack. Due to its location in the Inner Empire, there are no obstacles around, and there is a road next to it, and there is even a metal road sign nailed to a log.

A man of about thirty years old stood on a mountain bag, standing as straight as a javelin, holding a tactical telescope in his hand, carefully observing the faintly visible city wall in the distance. His hair was short, neatly trimmed, without a single mess, his eye sockets were deep, and his broad shoulders were always under the pressure of a mountain. Even if he stood there silently, he still exuded the momentum of the superior and a faint killing intent.

Valaam initially did not like his task.

As the eldest son of the Clemen family and the highly regarded first in line to the throne, Valam has always adhered to all the disciplines of a soldier, as well as all the indispensable military qualities. Many aristocratic teenagers joined the army at the age of eleven, what was customary in the Imperial Civil Administration's so-called "semi-adulthood". It is said that this system was established by the emperor himself tens of thousands of years ago in order to train the next generation from an early age in order to allow more aspiring soldiers to become soldiers. On the official list, this special unit is called the "Cadet Army". They do not undertake the main combat mission, but they must accompany the army in wartime, and are responsible for a series of related duties such as logistics management, transportation, equipment maintenance, and technical guidance. Some teenagers with sharp thinking, especially in terms of tactics, who show great talent, can even be directly selected to enter the staff headquarters to advise on the battle itself as a trainee.

Valam entered the Cadet Army at the age of twelve and retired at the age of twenty-three. According to the comments given by the headquarters of the Reichwehrs, Valaam was a very good officer. He attained the rank of second lieutenant at the age of fifteen and was promoted sequentially. At the time of retirement, the rank was already colonel. Aristocrats like to take shortcuts in many things, and the same goes for military ranks. The reason why many children of nobles became the boy army was not for the so-called "allegiance to the emperor", but to get a retirement certificate in the army. According to the relevant laws of the empire, if there is no such thing, you will lose the qualification to inherit the title, and you must also pay up to 95% of the property inheritance tax. All in all, every aristocrat spends his teenage years in the barracks, but not everyone can become a qualified soldier.

The Boys' Army is no longer as glorious as it was when the emperor was founded. It was filled with dirt from noble families large and small. Alcoholism, gambling, and bribery of superiors are common, and the jokes and attention to women far outweigh the tactics and martial arts lessons. Under the influence of this bad atmosphere that is becoming more and more corrupt, but no one dares to touch it, the instructor is too lazy to care about these guys who come in to mess around. There are even people who take the initiative to ask for bribes, and after being satisfied, they will give a high score on the failing exam papers. As long as these aristocratic scum are honest until graduation, then hello, me, everyone is good.

Valam was an unusual figure among the aristocracy. He knew very well that the reason why he was able to become a colonel at the age of twenty-three was entirely due to the role of his family behind it. For this, Valam was full of gratitude and resentment. At the same time, it means that you will lose the opportunity to participate in front-line battles forever. Valam was never greedy for life or death, and he always wanted to be a general. However, this idea is not in the actual interests of the Clemen family. They need a strong, honest, and powerful family heir. If Valam becomes a general, it means that the Clemen family must devote more resources to support Valaam to gain a greater voice within the army.

A lot of things aren't what they seem. The Clemen family needed a dynamic leader, and the rest of the family were reluctant to devote more resources to support Valaam. Although the former and the latter have different ideas, they share common interests. Under these circumstances, Valam could only obey the orders and needs of the family and was forced to take off his military uniform. According to the ancient rules within the family, he must undergo more than ten years of training and training in all aspects after retiring from the army before he can officially take over the entire family at the age of thirty-five.

In two years, Valam will be able to become the true patriarch.

Whether he likes it or not, he has already taken steps anyway and can never look back.

Valam felt that he had lost so many things worth having: his life in the army, the girl he had long liked, the adventurous life he had wandered around, the urge to do whatever he wanted, and the vision of a future that every young man had...... This qiē was all smashed by the words "family needs".

On the road of life, you have to pay to get something. There are some paths you have to follow, like it or dislike it. The old man always guides the young man with his own experience, and the young man always resists with ideals and impulsive instincts. When neither can convince the other or prove that they are right with actual evidence, power and repression become the ultimate channel for unification.

The empire could have had a young and promising general.

The Clemen family has an extra reserve patriarch who is thoughtful and has the strength of the "general" level.

That's the reality.

Although Valam was observing the town in the telescope, his mind was recalling the past, and for a while he was a little distracted, forgetting the time, and the whole person maintained a fixed posture for a long time, like a statue frozen by a spell.

A subordinate in a black uniform walked over and cautiously reminded, "Your Excellency, the time is almost up. This is the borderland, and if you stay here too long, you might encounter dark creatures. ”

Valam slowly lowered his binoculars, stared at the town with a grim gaze, and nodded faintly.

When three heavy maglev vehicles appeared outside Konoha Town, it caused a stir.

This stylish car was specially built for the wealthy and aristocracy, with heavy bulletproof armor, a sturdy and powerful hull, and even a powerful on-board machine gun. Despite this, the body itself appears to be sleek and painted. On the surface, it looks like a sports car to be loved, not a vehicle in the conventional sense.

It is simply impossible for civilians to afford such a thing. What's more, the front of the three floating cars are all inlaid with the unique emblem of the Clemen family.

Valam is tall, which is one of his proudest assets. However, when he came to Su Hao in a black coat surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, he unexpectedly found that the young man in front of him, who looked to be only twenty years old at most, was on par with his height, and his body exuded a strong killing intent that only veterans have, as well as a touch of blood.

"Hello, I'm a representative of the Clemen family."

After a brief self-introduction, Valam took off his sunglasses, revealing thick eyebrows and deep eyes. He looked at Su Hao seriously, and his tone and voice were full of majesty: "You may not know me, and you may not be familiar with the name Clemen family. But you must know Brito. ”

"Brito?" Su Hao frowned slightly.

In a moment, he had already searched his mind for a piece of information about the name: it was the aristocratic man who shot Bella with a shotgun during the siege of the Dark Creature and almost killed her on the spot.

"Britto is my brother, and you crippled him."

Valam's brown-black eyes stared at Su Hao, and his voice was deep and majestic: "He can only lie on the bed for the rest of his life. According to the doctors, ordinary surgery could not change his fate. If you want Brito to regain her health and come up with the highest level of repair potion, there is no second way. ”

Su Hao's expression was calm and calm, but his eyes revealed undisguised coldness.

This casual attitude made Valam's face suddenly flush with anger, and he asked coldly: "According to the laws of the empire, those who kill must pay for their lives, and those who are seriously injured must pay sufficient material compensation. What are you going to do? ”

Su Hao raised his head, his chin raised slightly, and asked rhetorically in a volume that was not weaker than the other party's and in a tough tone: "Why don't you ask why your brother was beaten half to death by me?" He almost killed my man, how should this account be calculated? ”

By the time Valam arrived, he had a detailed understanding of what had happened. As the heir to the family, he certainly knew what Britto was like. To be sure, Valam didn't want to meddle in the matter, and thought Britto was to blame. However, Britto is a member of the Clemen family after all, and has a direct relationship with him. If it was a conflict within the family, Valam would definitely be absolutely impartial. But when it comes to outsiders, whether it's right or wrong, Valam must first seek justice for his own people.

"You mean the woman named Bella?"

Valam's rock-hard lips slowly curved, revealing a sneer of ill will: "Of course I know, she's still alive. And it's healthy. ”
