Chapter Seventy-One: Waiting for the Thunder
The inexplicable disappearance of this huge amount of gold will inevitably cause the big people who rule the city to be suspicious of each other. And once the egg has a crack, it will naturally be bitten by flies.
The last time he had a meeting at the City Hall, Viscount Iscollan wanted to meddle in the affairs of the city council, and Luke was there.
In the game, this enlightened nobleman who is rare in the Brotherhood of Blades has forced his way into the City Council of Angry Waves and became a councilor.
Once there is any loosening in the interior of Angry Waves City this time, he will definitely take action immediately.
Only by letting the old and new nobles fight in Angry Waves City will they not have the energy to take care of the Cape District.
As for whether this gold will be exposed in the future.
Hum!
What about exposure?
At that time, whoever had this gold in his hand was the uncle!
Well......
After figuring out what to do next, Luke drank coffee again, feeling more smooth and refreshing.
Two naval warships leave with the survivors of the Clover on board and sail towards Raging Waves. The four merchant ships of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau continued to salvage the airship, and the important thing was to get the vault safe out first, and the others could organize a fleet to tow the wreckage of the airship back to Haijiao Harbor.
Lady Tasia's side is also going very well, without interference, and the Naga can safely and carefully search every corner of the seabed.
Pocket the gold you found and transport it back to the underwater hold of the Lucky Princess. More than 100 naga traveled back and forth a few times, and all the gold was transferred.
Luke, who received the gold, told Shelley to keep an eye on the other three ships, and the Lucky Princess returned home......
The attack and crash of the Clover caused a huge sensation as soon as it was reported back to Angry Waves. This airship was carrying the taxes paid by Angry Waves City to the Empire, more than three tons of gold, which was not a small amount.
If the emperor is to blame, I don't know how many people will be implicated.
Fortunately, news came out soon.
While the Clover was attacked, Detective Meteor of the Cape Secret Service was leading a combined fleet of the Intelligence Service and the Navy in pursuit of pirates in the nearby waters. Detective Meteor discovered the fallen Clover and immediately carried out rescue, not only successfully rescued all the passengers safely, but also salvaged the Imperial Taxes.
The vault safe containing the Imperial taxes was delivered to the city hall and opened by Councilor Ibur himself, and the gold inside was intact.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
If the taxes are there, the responsibility lies entirely with the attackers.
And also...... Safety hazards of steam airships.
In order to clear its own responsibility, the city administration department of Angry Waves City not only denounced the attackers, but also pointed the finger at the Clover armed airship that was responsible for the transportation this time.
"The military is right that they did not procure steam airships! In order to reduce its own weight, it uses soft airbags that have no protective power, making it as easy for an attacker to cut the airbags as it is to cut their own fingernails.
Only hydrogen can bring more lift to the airship, and it does not need to carry a lot of fuel like a conventional thermal airship. The surplus load allows the airship to be fitted with a hard airbag shell, allowing the airship to have a larger pod and we can mount the gun on the airship.
The Alchemist Guild of Angry Waves has developed a hydrogen stabilizer, which is no longer easily ignited when mixed with a gaseous stabilizer, making it the best material for building airships.
However, there were always some people in the court who blocked the development of new hydrogen airships on the grounds of the high price of hydrogen stabilizers.
The new steam airship is cheap, but if there is no Meteorite Detective this time, it will not be a loss of a steam airship this time.
The Empire's taxes, as well as priceless Imperial high-ranking officials, will leave us!
……”
For a time, a wave of public opinion condemning the new steam airship was set off in Angry Waves City. Regarding the hidden dangers and backwardness of the steam airship, as well as the advantages and prospects of the new hydrogen airship, it has continuously dominated the headlines of major newspapers.
The news of the rescue of such important people on the Clover by the Cape District Intelligence Bureau has instead become a foil to the battle between the steam airship and the new hydrogen airship.
Even when MP Ibur was interviewed, he talked about the shortcomings of the steam airship and touted the new hydrogen airship as the future.
Let Luke sigh: as long as the capitalists are still panting, they will first think about how to make money. Are your hydrogen stabilizers just a matter of high price? The stabilizer itself is not very stable, okay!
It takes constant filling stabilizers to make hydrogen stable and make a good hand.
Luke doesn't care about the steam vs. hydrogen debate, and he just doesn't want to get too much attention on himself.
Running his own rabbit nest in the Cape District is his passion.
The wreck of the Clover airship was pulled to the beach near the harbor in Cape District, and Luke had the wreckage corricaged and kept under close care by agents.
No one is allowed to enter without the Inspector's order!
The investigation of this case still needs to be pretended, and Luke personally led the establishment of the Clover incident investigation team. And asked Karina to write a report and apply to the city government department for 20 million Reichsmark to handle the case.
Unexpectedly, the City Administration Department approved such an outrageous funding application, and the City Finance and Taxation Office bypassed the Security Office and directly transferred the money to the account of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
Councillor Ibur is so righteous!
Luke also righteously gave Lady Tasia 5 million Reichsmarks, asking her to buy a batch of supplies in the Cape District and send them back to Fishbone Island. After settling down the affairs of Fishbone Island, we will go back to Haijiao District to discuss how to cooperate between the two backward areas.
Next, it's just a matter of waiting for the thunder of the black gold to explode.
Congressman Ibur can't get the gold back, will the big guys believe that he can't remember where he threw it?
How did the attacker end up on the airship?
What is her purpose? Who's behind it?
Nearly nine tons of gold is enough for them to imagine all kinds of things.
And most importantly...... Only a few people inside them know about secretly transporting this batch of gold, and if someone hits the idea of this batch of gold, they must be insiders.
Just guess each other.
I'll get my secret art first.
Luke, who had a little leisure, began to think about improving his strength again.
The Troll Bloodline (Gluttony), Spearmanship, Wolf Dagger No. 4, and Greedy Dragon Lance are the foundation of Luke's own power system.
The combination of Troll Bloodline (Gluttony), Spearmanship, and Greedy Red Dragon Spear can basically ensure your melee needs. Combined with his identity as a detective, there are so many subordinates here, and there shouldn't be many opportunities for melee combat.
The gun stream is still relatively strong in the early game, and the identity of the Inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau can get a special supply of special bullets. Hiding behind and firing a cold gun is a good way for a detective to fight.
Is there a secret technique to increase the power of firearms?
Absolutely!
