When Dussander learned that the Palmer train station had been gassed, he was stunned.

The use of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons to kill and injure is not uncommon in the history of human warfare, at least as mentioned in history lessons, humans on Earth used chlorine on a large scale for the first time during World War I. Regardless of the effect, there are ways to kill enemies with poisonous substances.

However, in Dussand's mind, neither the Empire nor Newsar possessed such abilities. The reason is also very simple, there is no electricity.

The impact of electricity on humans is much more than just "lighting a light bulb". As the central marker of the Second Industrial Revolution, the universal application of electricity has almost completely changed the pattern of the entire human world. From chemistry to agriculture, from transportation to medicine, every field has made great strides thanks to the advent and widespread use of electricity.

The large-scale industrial production of chlorine is a typical example of electrical applications.

Prior to the advent of electrolysis of saturated sodium chloride solutions, chemists from Newsar or other colonies of the Empire needed to inject large amounts of concentrated hydrochloric acid and potassium permanganate into the reactor to obtain the yellow-green gas.

Because the feeding port needs to be designed during feeding, and the raised chlorine gas is not easy to collect, this method can often only be used for small-scale chlorine preparation. The electrolysis of chlorine can save the part of feeding, as long as the pipeline is designed under the reaction vessel to continuously replenish the saturated sodium chloride solution.

Before the electrolytic preparation method was mastered, the Empire was never able to use this gas for combat purposes, although the Empire had long known about the toxicity of chlorine.

Now there was a poison gas attack at the Palmer railway station, which certainly means that in Newsar someone has mastered the method of preparing chlorine gas on a large scale.

In other words, there is at least one person in Newsal who knows how to use and manufacture direct current.

"Investigate the attack immediately, and make sure that everyone involved in the attack is caught." Dussander instructed Ms. Tamara, who had come to report the situation, to "do everything in our power to treat the injured people at all costs." ”

"There's a letter from the Central Special Branch." After recording Dussand's order, Ms. Tamara looked up and said, "The envelope is not the same as usual, and it asks to be presented to you as soon as possible—we have not opened the letter since we received it. ”

In order to facilitate the management of intelligence, but also to conduct a more comprehensive analysis of intelligence, under Dusander's arrangement, the Central Special Branch became a special department under Aika. The only people in Aika who have access to the intelligence of the Central Special Branch are Ms. Tamara and George Orwell, who is now in charge of the intelligence department.

Dussander took the letter from Ms. Tamara. After making sure that the watermark and seal on the top were not broken, he opened the envelope and began to read the contents.

The contents of the envelope were not long, but they made Dussander faintly dizzy.

[Fern von Steinberg's envoy arrives in Orin, and the envoy is attacked while attempting to meet the Duke of Belford.] We've rescued it. The Special Envoy is currently seriously injured and is not likely to travel in the near future. After recovering from his injuries, will he be sent back to Newsar? 】

[The Duke of Belford and other immediate family members have all been arrested by Orin, and the decision will be executed in 20 days, will they intervene?] 】

[Three people in the Alpha Department of the Mining Consortium have been rebelled, and we have preliminarily obtained some materials related to the Alpha Project, and the compilation of information is ongoing. The content of the information will be attached after collation, due to the low level of the rebels, please pay attention to the content of the research and judgment data. 】

The three pieces of information were put together, but Dussander didn't know how to react for a while.

How did Finn's envoy get to Olin? This is Dussand's first question, and of course, it is relatively easy to answer. Today, Newsal is still in lockdown and difficult to access by ordinary means. The only one that can maintain regular flights for a long time is the Federation.

As an ally, Finn's envoy certainly had no way to use the Federation's channels to enter Newsal. Not knowing what was going on in Newsal, Finn's envoy tried to contact him through the channels of the Duke of Olin Belford's house...... It's not hard to imagine either.

But the envoy was unlucky. Although the Duke of Belford's family had little contact with Duchamp in Newsal, as a rebellious relative, the Duke of Belford was still "highly regarded" by Olin. Orin's heraldic office has been carefully planned to capture all the members of the entire Duke's family in Orin in one fell swoop.

He also almost killed Finn's envoy who tried to enter the Duke's palace and meet with the Duke of Belford.

As for the last Alpha plan, Dussander didn't pay much attention to it. It is difficult to replicate the Alpha plan in Newsal, so instead of trying to steal the details of the Alpha plan, it is better to focus on the separation and mining of uranium.

"Instruct the Central Special Branch to try to save yourself." After thinking about it for a while, Dussander said, "After the envoy recovers, he can send it to Newsar at the right time, but don't be in a hurry...... Finally the Duke of Belford ......"

Dussaint took a deep breath and said, "You can consider rescuing the Central Special Branch in a way that does not expose and threaten the central special branch, and if you can't guarantee your own safety, then don't intervene." ”

Duchamp has been under house arrest for more than two months. During this time, the former Supreme Leader of Newsar still maintained his routine in the army.

He wakes up at five a.m. every day, takes a cold shower, and starts running around the lakeshore of the estate. After five laps around the lake, take off your shirt and run two more laps.

Then eat a pound of bread, six eggs, and two large glasses of milk for breakfast.

Despite being placed under house arrest, Duchamp was able to communicate with people at will, read all the newspapers published throughout Newsal, and was even able to enter and leave the estate freely when "accompanied".

His current state is more of a retirement than house arrest.

Duchamp would read every newspaper he could get his hands on, but he never had an opinion about the situation in Newsard. Only occasionally, Duchamp would look at the newspapers about United Mining and look disgusted.

He still hates United Mining.

In the afternoon, Duchamp rode in a horse-drawn carriage to the Upper Albin Iron and Steel Complex, a mining complex. The wreckage of the original collapsed blast furnace feed tower is gone. A white stone pillar about two jols high was erected in its place. The shape of the obelisk is plain and striking, but there is no writing on it.

This is Androni's tombstone.

Next to the white stone pillar, there is a half-yol shaped stone pillar. There are also no subtitles engraved on it, and the two obelisks are just standing quietly in place.

Duchamp held a bouquet of white flowers in his hand. He first crouched down and placed the flowers in front of Andronie's tombstone, and after a little hesitation, he pulled a few from the white flowers that had been placed in front of Andronie's tombstone, and then carefully placed them in front of the low stone pillar.

"I'm not cut out to be a leader, you know that." There was no one within half a mile of the tombstone, and Duchamp suddenly began to speak as he faced his wife's tombstone.

"Dusand is leading Newsar forward, and it's up to him to do the work...... I'm afraid it's also a bit difficult. Duchamp stroked his wife's tombstone, and then suddenly froze.

On the side of the tombstone, there is a line of small letters.

Duchamp squatted down and stared at the tombstone carefully for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly turned a little red.

"Mom, I miss you." There are four words in this line, and it looks like someone has carved it into it with something like a key.

It's Dussand's notes.

Duchamp continued to touch every inch of the tombstone with his hand, and sure enough, he found several more lines of inscription. In addition to the words that some children would say to their mothers, at the bottom of the tombstone, Duchamp found a line of small words that were somewhat peculiar.

"Construction is a hundred times more difficult than destruction. But for the sake of your ideals, I will always work hard. Duchamp's mark seemed much firmer, "The empire and the emperor must pay, I promise." ”
