Macho Wars

"I, I want to see Lord Simon."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't meet your request. Earl Simon is an aristocrat with'innocent'. I can't let his reputation be stigmatized because of people like you. Are you right?"

"you……"

"Okay! Stop the gossip, Sergeant Kief, take this guy down and lock it up."

"Yes, sir."

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward, bound Papiro into a large meat dumpling without any explanation, and dragged it out roughly.

And Dragon took the soldier and the small key he just found from Papiro to the second floor, turned the study upside down, and finally found the hidden safe on the middle floor of the bookshelf.

However, the safe is equipped with a very complicated code disk, and there is a conspicuous flame symbol in the lower right corner to remind people that this thing has a self-destruct function!So Dragon studied for a long time, but he didn't dare to do it easily.

At this time Tafe found Dragon and said that one of the prisoners who claimed to be a "second master" wanted to see him.

When Dragoon heard it, he wondered that this product jumped out at this time, and in all likelihood, he was about to jump back, so he asked Tafe to bring the person.After a while, a thin man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek came to him.

"You are the second master?"

"Yes, Mr. Captain. My name is Iverson. It's an honor to meet you."

The man who called himself Iverson said he was the chief accountant and sugar factory director under Papiro, and he was mainly responsible for the daily management of the factory.

Iverson first apologized to Papiro for his offense to Dragon, and then reminded Dragon tactfully that although the sugar factory belonged to Papiro in name, it was actually the invisibility of Earl Simon, the head of the colonial government’s tax office. Industry, I hope he can be merciful.

Seeing that this person's posture was very low, and the way of speaking was very tactful, Dragon couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Iverson, if you have anything to say, please tell me! I am a very thick and thick person, and I don't like roundabouts. Why don't we be more honest?"

"Haha! Captain, you are really humorous, since that's the case, I'll just say it. I hope to take it to the next level. If you are willing to help, Captain, I promise you will get a very reliable friend."

"Really? As a friend, should you show your sincerity first?"

Dragon said, throwing the key to the safe to Iverson, and then pointed to the code disk.

"Don't tell me that a shrewd person like you would not even know this."

"Hehe, how could it..."

Soon, Papiro's full set of ledgers was handed over to Dragon.Dragon looked through it roughly and found that in addition to the serious sugar business and the unscrupulous bootleg business, Papiro's men also engaged in smuggling activities. The "goods" involved drugs, arms, and even population.

Most of these smuggling businesses were carried out behind Count Simon, and belonged to Papiro's own business.

With these evidences, coupled with Iverson who volunteered, Dragon eliminated Papiro while also avoiding offending Earl Simon, saving him a lot of trouble.

So after solving the main problem, the next step is the exciting "touching the corpse" time!

Chapter 13

Under the guidance of Iverson, Dragoon and his party came to the basement of the mansion, and a fully equipped brewery appeared in front of them.

Iverson told Dragoon that their underground winery was only responsible for the production of liquor, and then it was transported to Pandora in wooden barrels disguised as sugar, where it was bottled for sale.

Therefore, the profits from selling bootleg wine are all taken by the earl, who controls the sales channels, and they can only get a commission of about 20% of the net profit.As for whether it is really 20%, it depends on the mood of Lord Earl.

The area of ​​the entire basement is huge. Dragon estimated by visual observation that it is at least more than two thousand square meters. In addition to the brewing equipment, it is also a warehouse. The air is filled with a rich sweet and greasy aroma.

A group of people passed through the brewing workshop and came to the northeast corner of the warehouse, where two walls were piled up with wine barrels, and they were simply separated into a single room, which was their arsenal.

Everyone went in and took a look, and they were a little bit unpleasant in their hearts.Because there are more weapons and ammunition here than their regular army!

"Where did you get these things?"

"You may not believe it. These arms are bought from the big guys above you, but the price is a bit expensive, more than three times higher than the ex-factory price."

"What's a joke! Seize the supplies of our regular soldiers and sell them to criminals at a high price. Don't the quarters department know this is a crime!?"

Hearing Iverson said that the Colonial Military Department actually sold the weapons and ammunition that should have been allocated to the regular army to these unscrupulous businessmen at high prices, Tafee suddenly became angry, but Dragon was calm and thoughtful.

When Dragoon went to the regiment to ask for something, he had heard his immediate boss complain.It is said that there are three divisions and one brigade in the colonial military area, but only the armored brigade and the 88th Infantry Division stationed in the first area are the sons of the headquarters. Any good things are given priority to them.

The two infantry divisions, 89 and 90, were wild species picked up by the roadside. They had to do all the dirty and tiring work, but they ate leftovers that their sons didn’t want.

In particular, the 90th Division where Dragon and the others belonged, the entire division was almost completely disbanded, and there were five special zones stationed there. Most of the colonies were under the protection of their division, but the shortage of soldiers was the most serious.

The entire division should be rated at 15,000 people, but in fact it is less than 10,000. The supplementary personnel transported from the mainland will be given priority to be screened by other divisions in turn, and the remaining ones will be allocated to their divisions.

of course!The command of the military region command treated the 90th division like this, not because it simply looked at them unhappy, the main reason was limited resources!

In order for the mainland to effectively control the colonies of the New World thousands of miles away, the most effective way is to curb their industrial development and make the colonies dependent on the mainland, so that they will not force their wings to become independent.

Therefore, Darwin Province has developed so far. Although the immigrant population has exceeded 6 million, except for the three machinery factories and one shipyard in Port Pandora, the other special zones are mainly agriculture and mining.A large amount of resources must be shipped to the mainland before they can be exchanged for needed materials and equipment.

The same is true for the army!

The colonial military region still has no conscription rights, and all troops and weapons and equipment come from the country.

However, on the New World side, not only the empire has colonies, but the territory of the Kingdom of Wieland is less than 300 kilometers east of the border of Darwin.

This country used to be part of the Sidney Empire more than a hundred years ago, but was separated from the empire and established itself due to a battle for the crown prince.The relationship between the two countries has not been very good ever since.

Therefore, in this case, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the direct line of troops, the colonial military command can only divert resources from other troops.

However, Dragon also believes that the above-mentioned bastards will definitely take the opportunity to fill their pockets.

Iverson handed the inventory of the arsenal to Dragon for review. There were more than 70 long and short guns on the book, with more than 20,000 bullets.But what surprised Dragon the most was that there were six submachine guns inside.

What Papiro purchased for himself was the second-generation "86-year-old submachine gun" newly developed by the Imperial Military Institute six years ago.The performance of this gun is very good in all aspects, but unfortunately the cost is too high.For this reason, the Imperial Senate, which is responsible for the allocation of military expenses, rejected the military's purchase plan to equip 100,000 submachine guns in batches.

The reason is that the gun uses pistol shells, and its range and accuracy are not as good as standard bolt-action rifles.

The group of miserers felt that instead of equipping the army with such a waste of bullets, it might as well spend more time on training to improve the soldiers' marksmanship.

The result is such a good weapon. The military can only purchase its own funds. On the contrary, the evil forces who engage in illegal trading are more willing to spend money.

Therefore, Dragon often feels that it is not unreasonable for the military radicals to talk about "the enemy is in the Senate" every day!

So Dragon, who had come to fight the autumn wind, ordered his men to move all the weapons in the warehouse back, leaving only ten revolvers and five hundred bullets.

Although Iverson looked at the pain, but because he needed Dragon to help him get rid of Papiro, he just let him go with the mentality of "selling the eldest son".

In addition, the magic spar also got a full ten boxes.These colorful polyprisms are the "solid oil" of this world, and they can be used directly without being refined.

It's just that these boxes of magic spar are small pieces of slag for civilian use, unlike the military type, which is polished and large, which can be tightly stuffed into the force engine.

With these looted supplies, Dragon returned to the station contentedly.But Waji was a little worried. He felt that Dragoon was messing up like this, and when the Earl Simon knew what had happened in Suger Town, he would probably retaliate against them.
