Knowing that the refugees outside Blackwater have departed, Ted knows it's time to go!

But he didn't take off the lord's noble uniform, but directly put on the teaching uniform outside~

The original wide design has this advantage, you don't have to change clothes, you can put on a coat directly, which saves a lot of trouble~

After Ted got dressed, he turned to look at Lilia and said, "Lilia, you are busy here first, if there is anything, use the radio station next to you to contact me~"

Saying that, Ted took out a more advanced 'radio' from the 'ancient ruins', that is, a wireless walkie-talkie, compared to those radios with a long range of high-power transmission, the effective range of this thing is only a dozen kilometers, and if you want to expand the range, you also need to build a corresponding transmitting base station.

As smart as Lilia is, he's been at home lately and hasn't even used an old-fashioned radio station, let alone something a little more modern!

So, she made a small tactical back-tilt action, squeezed out a double chin, made a cute version of the puzzled expression, and said curiously: "The radio... How should I use this thing? ”

"This thing works very well~" After saying this, Ted realized that Chris...

Since this conscientious housekeeper took over the mayor's work, the valve of his body seems to have been opened, and the more he worked, the more energetic he became! The city can become what it is today, and his execution and courage are half the credit!

"Eh~ I almost forgot! Chris, I've got something here, you can take a look, remember, you can use it, don't tell anyone, no one! ”

After pulling Chris, Ted quietly took out a wireless walkie-talkie from his pocket, handed it to him, and continued to instruct: "This thing is about 20 years more advanced than the radio we use, if you have an emergency, just use it to call me!" ”

"Uh..."Chris played with the 'bricks' in his hand, not knowing what Ted was trying to express, in his opinion, this heavy scrap metal could only be used as a brick to paste other people's heads...

"Direct call? Are you sure? My lord? ”

Ted nodded solemnly, raised his right hand and opened his palm, and said seriously: "Yes!" I don't have to type Morse code, I can hear me just talking, but you'd better say it a few times, I don't guarantee I'll be online at all times..."

Faced with this new gadget, Chris has long been surprised, and he is shocked for five seconds at most...

"Okay, my lord, I've written it down, is there anything else?"

Ted has been quietly building his own communications base station lately, which has not been recorded, and he plans to hand over the secret file to Chris for him to deal with when it is built...

But since it's all said here, it's better to tell him in advance, and save the explanation later: "Uh... It's okay for you to stay and listen, but I don't know if you've learned the corresponding knowledge..."

Ted's way of speaking, Chris is most familiar with! If that is the case, it is better to stay. He gave a thumbs up and immediately said, "No problem, my lord!" I can listen to it first, and then I can learn~"

"That's fine—" Ted said, pulling out a map out of nowhere and laying it out on the table.

"You two come and have a look..."

"This map was redrawn by an observer, and it took about two months, and the Moon Elf cartographer who made the map has been drawing the map for more than 3,000 years, so the scale of this map is very guaranteed! Coupled with the mapper I provided, it can be said that... About 5.2 million square kilometers of territory in the north are on this map! ”

Hearing '5.2 million square kilometers', Chris raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is our northern border that big?" ”

"2 million are snow-capped mountains... But it doesn't matter, anyway, this is the territory of our Nok Alliance, and the entire continent will return to us sooner or later~" As he spoke, Ted turned his head to look at Lilia: "Don't worry, when the time comes, the dragons will have something to eat, and our wedding will become everyone's holiday!" ”

Such domineering words made the 500,000-year-old Lilia's face slightly red, and she quietly stepped on Ted.

"Ahem, keep talking! Look at the black dots on these maps, they are my own contact base stations, and they have already been built! These dark red dots represent military liaison towers, light red represents the building of them, and as for these dark green dots, they represent civilian base stations, of which there are currently only 2..."

Chris didn't have enough knowledge in this area, and he didn't know what the lord was going to do, so he opened his mouth and asked Ted, "My lord, you are doing this... What is the meaning? ”

Since Chris asked this question, it means that he is not clear about the concept of 'base station', so Ted took advantage of the situation and took out another book from the 'ancient ruins'...

"It's not what it means, it's that sooner or later it will have to be built, and I've just picked out a group of good workers to help us build the communication network... If you take a look at the book "Modern Communication Technology", you will understand that all of our existing reconnaissance planes are equipped with high-power communication modules, and in the future, the transmission of information will be more important than eating..."

If you wait for the invention of the mobile phone, playing with the mobile phone is really more important than eating!

Chris took the book and put it in his heirloom satchel: "Understood, my lord, but why are you in such a hurry?" ”

At present, Ted does not plan to explain more: "There are three systems in total, civil, military, and I use them, and I use them, I only want you to know about them, don't tell others, as for why you told you, it is because you use them, and when you finish reading this book, all the doubts in your heart will be answered..."

"I see, my lord..."

On the military and Ted's dedicated line communicators, there is an inconspicuous knob that can switch from various channels, while for civilian use, there is only civilian use.

Chris understood, and Ted turned to Lilia, "Lilia, do you understand?" ”

She always felt very familiar with this thing in front of her, as if she had seen it somewhere, and she would see it every day!

After thinking for three seconds, she recalled the glass case at home: "Honey... Isn't this exactly the same as the stuff in the glass cabinet at home? Originally used for this? ”

"Yes..."

Since it's communication and you can talk, doesn't that mean ... Can you 'do anything' with Ted at any time? "So I can talk to you at any time?"

At the beginning of the establishment of the channel, it was for Ted to contact his family conveniently, but it was too selfish to do so, but there was nothing to be done?

It's only when Ted remembers that he seems to be a 'lord' that he shakes off this burden...

Something to build yourself with your own money? Why should you feel selfish?

It's just that... Ted has long been accustomed to being upright and standing up, and he always puts a reasonable and correct label on his actions: "Uh... I didn't say no, but the content of the chat will be heard by everyone on this private channel, and in this channel, we will also have work needs..."

Lilia tactically ignored the latter sentence and asked directly, "Who listens?" ”

"Uh... The temporary correspondent is the one-time correspondent, but after eight o'clock tonight, the authority will be handed over to Alice, because the family has recently hired a lot of maids, and her workload has been reduced again, so I want to find something to do..."

"Well... That said, this is our home line? ”

"Uh... This line is mainly used by us, and then we will use it for work..."

Speaking of which, Ted's meaning is already obvious, life is more important than work, and Chris doesn't want to hear their 'tiger wolf words' or philosophical voices when he connects to the channel.

So he playfully took out the walkie-talkie again and put it on the table: "My lord, I'll still use your military line..."

"Okay," Ted said, and Ted changed Chris's walkie-talkie.

"This is military.,There are a total of 10 channels.,Different permissions.,The channels that can be connected are not the same.,At present,0 has no specified use.,Just use it as the channel you contact me..."

It is said to be military, but except for the 'Iron Shield' troops who went to escort Steve's debriefing, it is not popular in the army...

Because the base station has not yet been built, the equipment can only rely on the system mall, and Ted has no money to buy a large number of them for the time being.

"No problem!" Holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, Chris asked, "My lord, then I'll go and get busy first?" ”

"Go ahead..."

When there were only two people left in the office, Ted hugged Lilia from behind and said, "Lilia, if it's okay, don't use it yet, if you have to use it, wait until after eight o'clock tonight." ”

"Hee-hee~ No problem!"

This line has already been built, but... Technicians are still maintaining! Ted can't use it as he pleases!

"Hey... It's not easy to do, it's better to find a few more wives another day, let them study hard, and then help me deal with the problem after they understand it, so that you don't have to worry about outsiders! ”

It's a 'constructive' idea, but it's... Ted's wives also have something to do, and if he wants to do some other projects, he will have to find a few more wives...

"Lilia, I've got to deal with the 'Helios Cult'! Happy work? ”

"Go, go, I'm not a child..."

...

After dealing with this side of the matter, Ted took the guards to the outside of the city, and set off with a group of well-prepared actors to the newly built farm.

On the off-road vehicle...

"Your newspaper, my lord! This is today's official version, and it is said that the editors made some temporary changes yesterday..."

"Okay, I'll take a look..."

Originally, Ted was going to drive an off-road vehicle by himself, but... According to the etiquette and rules, Ted was not allowed to drive by himself!

He had to be paired with a driver and a bodyguard to get out...

This is still a configuration of a private interview with a microserver, provided that Ted wears body armor and brings a self-defense weapon...

If you go out of the city and go to a place outside of the Alliance's territory, you must bring at least a company of guards with you before you can go.

"Hey... I'm just an earl now, if I have a higher position in the future, or become president, wouldn't I have to travel like Qin Shi Huang every time I go out? ”

Spit and complain, he himself is also at ease with such a configuration, especially this powerful off-road vehicle under the buttocks! It's one level stronger than the old American military Humvee!

For safety reasons, Ted does not choose vehicles other than off-road vehicles or armored vehicles as a means of transportation.

First of all... The flashy and flamboyant appearance of a sports car is not suitable for a formal place, nor does it fit into one's own identity.

And the army camouflage off-road vehicles can appear in any place ~

Moreover... Ted also didn't want to sit in a convertible and get his brain out.

How brain-dead does it have to be a leader to choose such an arrogant way of traveling?

...

In the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, in order to let Ted receive the items in his hand without any danger, the bodyguard characteristics checked every page of the newspaper...

"Ahem... My lord! There is no hidden poison in the newspaper, so you can watch it with confidence..."

Ted covered his face and rolled his eyes helplessly: "Eh! You two, it's almost there! I'm not a tyrant! The people love me! ”

The lord is loved, this is the truth, but there are always surprises in everything: "That being said, but..."

Ted raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to confirm, "But...?" ”

"But... Wasn't I afraid of sneaking in spies? ”

I thought that this loyal bodyguard would say something really threatening, but I didn't expect it to be just a conspiracy theory...

"You two don't have to be so nervous, I'm not so easy to kill, as long as I do your job normally, I'll be fine!"

The bodyguard smiled and gave a thumbs up, revealing a steel tooth and reassuring, "No problem, my lord, next time we will bring a Moon Elf warrior with good ears and eyes as a guard, so that we can rest assured!" ”

"Hey..."Ted took the newspaper and shook his head, not knowing how to answer...

Just when he was about to ease the atmosphere around him a little, a large line of words in the newspaper almost made him choke his saliva into his lungs!

[Shocked! Men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it! If you don't look at it, you're not from the North! 】

"! Who came up with this title? Just a few days after the newspaper opened, they started the routine of the shock department? But it's also quite powerful, and this way can really attract people's attention. ”

I thought... What a big news this is, or a moving story that 'moved the North'!

But the more he looked back, the more Ted felt that something was wrong...

It's not emotional or tearful news at all! It's a traditional dish from the North... Stir-fried beef with onions...

"It does make people cry silently... Is there really anything wrong with that? This group of people is really good..."

I thought it was just a shock ceiling, but Ted never thought that there would be something even more outrageous in the back...

[Shocking the North!] As of noon yesterday, a family of 28 was wiped out, but all the neighbors applauded! 】

It's hard not to think about a headline like that, and when Ted was about to read on, he wanted to call the radio station and scold the newsroom at once.

"The rat eradication effort in the North is going well, and Mayor Chris came to the scene to put on the medal for the firefighters and celebrate the return of rats to zero in the North..."

"I'm convinced, this group of people does have some talent in some aspects, but it's a bit overdone..."

"I don't know if there's any normal news?"

[It's cool to fall in love for a while, and after falling in love with the crematorium...]

"You seem to be right to say the story of Romeo and Juliet, but there's nothing wrong with changing it to the Titanic..."

After only ten minutes of watching, Ted grew tired of this kind of big text and eye-catching titles.

If you look at someone with a bad heart, you will probably be shocked for a while!

After that, Ted skipped all the articles with the word "shocked" and only picked the ones with serious headlines that were not shocked.

For example, what new inventions have been made in the city, and what new policies have been introduced...

But this content doesn't take up a lot of space, because most people are just learning the alphabet and can barely read it.

Rather than these serious news, people prefer funny articles or recipes with simple text and easy to understand...

When you think about it, the people in the Department of Public Information are really very attentive to the people, and they help them learn in this way.

"What do you think of this newspaper?"

"I think it's good! It's also interesting that since you set a day off, we all have to spare on weekends and don't know what to do, and after the newspaper came out, it just made up for it! ”

"Yes! Let's talk about what's inside... Before you know it, it's time to go to work, and you can study happily..."

"It's... Well..."

...

300 kilometers away, Steve sat in a hard carriage, uncomfortable!

After staying in the north for so long, as soon as I came to the inside of the empire, I felt that the air outside was dirty, and it seemed that every breath of air would eat 2 catties of.

"Hey... Sure enough, as Ted said, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality! ”

In order not to make others suspicious, Steve hadn't showered or brushed his teeth since the days before his departure!

Such a 'stinky' man would be disgusted by any woman!

The fragrant and soft Wazena didn't even let him go to bed! And Steve, in order to respect his wife, as a prince, was aggrieved and dealt with on the sofa for three days.

Seeing the forest outside getting denser and denser, Steve casually asked, "Where have we been?" Brothers! ”

This title is a reflection of the proximity to the people in the northern part of the country! But now it's in the Empire! If this is heard by someone with ulterior motives, the problem will be serious: "Eh! Your Highness, pay attention to the salutation! This isn't the North, you have to be majestic! At least... Make a show! ”

Steve has become accustomed to a casual look, and it is difficult to get serious again: "Go to TMD Majesty!" Anyway, there is no one else around, it's really tiring to be a prince, and you have to say it three times with words that agree with different words..."

After complaining about the mountains of rules in the empire, Steve felt thirsty and sleepy, so he reluctantly pulled out a plastic bottle from under his seat...

It's a cold coffee brewed with Wachena's footwashing water, and this is the only way to recall the happy times of the recent past during such a boring trip.

Gulping down the coffee in the bottle, Steve slumped into his seat and sighed...

"Hey..."

Suddenly!

'Goo... Mutter...! The voice came.

Steve instantly sobered up, he took out the P90 from the side of his body to get ready for battle, and immediately after, he knocked on the carriage door!

About three years ago, when Steve was going to the toilet, he accidentally overheard the 'special signal' of his eldest brother Andy!

This kind of cry similar to the 'owl' is the symbol of the great prince Andy

"Brothers, pay attention, that voice just now is my eldest brother's signal language, I have a sense of foreboding! Get ready for battle! ”

At the same time, news came from Steve's watch, as well as the captain's advanced communicator.

"Call the Iron Shield 'Convoy', this is Scout No. 5, I have detected movement in the jungle 8 kilometers in front of you, according to observation, the number of enemies is about 1000, and the comers are not good! Please be careful! ”

In the north, every important mission will have a corresponding code name, and the same is true for escorting Steve back to the imperial capital this time, and this escort team has rightfully become a 'transport team'.

At the same time, the Iron Shield is also the name of this unit, and from then on, in the north, the Iron Shield will become synonymous with 'escort'.

As soon as this news came out, Steve's heart was half cold, and he still had illusions about his two older brothers, thinking that they would be good people.

But at this moment, all illusions are shattered! The second brother's methods are even more ruthless than the eldest brother! If the big brother strikes first, it means that the harsher level is behind!

"Brother, my eldest brother Andy is going to kill me! Is there a way? ”

Steve thought that the journey would be smooth, at least until he reached the imperial capital, and he would be safe and sound, but he never thought that his brothers would be so ugly? Killed yourself so early?

Outside the carriage, Tie Dun replied to the reconnaissance plane hovering above the walkie-talkie: "Tie Dun received, what is the configuration of the equipment on the opposite side?" Can you see clearly? ”

"It's hard, but I'll try!"

Half a minute later, a message came from the other end of the intercom: "According to observation, it is just ordinary soldiers, and there are not a large number of heavy armor soldiers. Wait a minute... What is the operation of this large part of the unarmored soldiers... I don't understand..."

The people of the North did not know the customs of the Empire, let alone the role of unarmored soldiers on the battlefield.

But Steve knows! Most unarmored or lightly armored soldiers will be at the forefront of the charge as dead soldiers! And not legions like heavy armor!

These dead soldiers fought by surprise, and they mainly relied on ambushes to win! After a rain of arrows, he rushed up and mowed the grass with a killing technique.

Steve shook his head, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice, "Unarmored soldiers? I'm afraid it's not a dead man...!? ”

When the captain of the 'Iron Shield' heard this, he touched his chin and shook his head, "Dead soldiers? No armor? That's a bit of a challenge..."

Inside the carriage, Steve's heart was half cold again when he heard 'it's a little difficult', and he opened the curtain and confirmed, "Aren't you guys amazing?" Why is it still a little difficult? ”

The captain shook his head and raised his weapon to show helplessness: "This... Of course it's difficult! They don't wear armor, and when we hit them twice with our weapons, they will be in pieces, and it will be very difficult to clean up the battlefield! There are traces of blood everywhere, which will definitely leave traces of battle, and it is not suitable for hiding their whereabouts ...

After knowing the specific meaning of the captain, Steve breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh? That's what you mean..."

The captain didn't understand why Steve reacted this way? The weapon in hand, 120 P90, 6000 rounds of ammunition in a salvo, hit out in a few seconds, and the enemy's intensive charge is to find death ...

"Ahem, what do you think we mean? Do you think we're afraid of such a group of enemies with big knives? ”

This seems to make a lot of sense, and besides, I already know the enemy's intentions and numbers, so I can't deal with it easily, and I should be 'no pressure'.

"That's right... Do we have enough ammunition with us? ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, in addition to the ammunition we carry, there are also a lot of ammunition supplies! If we run out of ammunition, tell the reconnaissance plane above and ask him to drop a few tons of tons for us! ”

The captain lifted his fur coat and showed the magazine hanging from the inside of the suit...

From Steve's point of view, there are at least 20...

"Your Highness, to put it mildly, we have dug a good position, we can fight a legion, and we will not be left behind! Moreover... As soon as the guns go off on our side, the enemy will fall by 20%, and they will be scattered..."

"Even if we can't beat it, the plane will pick us up!"

Flying in the sky, that is, convenient, only takes a few hours to get back and forth with Valentine and the transport team.

Looking at the black dots in the sky, Steve let out a long sigh and quipped: "Since the plane is so convenient, it is better to directly let Ted's special forces arrest my eldest brother and second brother!" ”

It's easy to say, but in the real world, the silencer is basically equal to 0 in close combat, and as soon as the fire is fired, all enemy soldiers will hear the sound and come over.

"This... Your Highness, this is a bit difficult, because as soon as we fired, the whole city came! We're going to have to kill all the people who stand in our way! Such an indiscriminate use of violence is unnecessary, and it is not in keeping with Lord Earl Highington's ideas..."

After receiving a negative answer, Steve still did not give up, and he opened his mouth to question: "It's true... Can... Is it really not going to work at all? ”

Asked this question, the captain thought a little based on what he had learned, and came up with an answer: "Your Highness, the kind you are talking about, unless you know the specific location of the eldest prince or the second prince, and also grasp their whereabouts!" Finally, we can take advantage of the thunderstorm to cover up the sound before we can act..."

As soon as he heard the thunderstorm, Steve rolled his eyes and sighed, "Thunderstorm... At least until June~July..."

"So! You should report on your work well and strive to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible! In addition to that, we have sent to your wife and son! After they receive the information, they will be quietly picked up by our reconnaissance planes back to the north..."

"Huh! Then don't forget to ask Ted to arrange them..."

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness! They will stay with you in the newly built Welcome Building, and you and Ms. Wachena's cottage belong to the northern private house, and no one else has the right to intervene except for the upper floors of the town hall, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the residential area..."

Knowing that his extramarital affair would not be discovered, Steve's mind was one less thing: "It seems that Ted is quite thoughtful!" ”

"Our lord is very thoughtful, even this escort, like a few days ago, the plane that was just made joined our operation! If there is any accident, we can leave immediately by plane~"

"You say so, I haven't been on a plane yet! I also want to experience what it's like to be in the sky! ”

"But now we have to continue to pretend, and we can't let others find out our flaws~"

"yes... I'll talk about it later, yes, I haven't said how to deal with the enemy! "Although the enemy is eight kilometers away from you, you can think of countermeasures early so that you don't panic when you respond!

After thinking about it, the captain came up with a suitable idea: "Your Highness, I think we can stop the queue and wait for the opposite side to send the host!" Because they wait for their work, but we work expeditions, so we suffer! Even if we have a thermal weapon that can kill the other side in an instant, we can't be careless! ”

Such an answer sounds very reassuring, at least better than the one you came up with: "You have a point, but what should we do if they come to attack at night?" ”

"Your Highness, your night vision device is the latest model, and we also have it in our hands, but it is the model of the previous version, which cannot accept the strong light above 5000 lumens..."

"What are lumens?"

"Uh... It's a very bright flashlight, we don't need to worry, because in this world, the enemy won't have such a dazzling light for the time being... To put it simply, your night vision device comes with eye protection, and our protection is not so great... The same goes for headphones, but in this day and age, it's enough! ”

Since this method can minimize casualties, it is better to do this: "In that case, do as you say!" We're waiting for the rabbits to come to us! ”

"Good!" With Steve's permission, the Iron Shield transport team builds fortifications on the spot and pretends to make lunch...
