Chapter 482 15. Commercial Penetration

"The lunatics of the Seventh Legion have succeeded, and the undead and dragons are entangled."

Above the high altitude of the Hinterlands, the leader of the Wildhammer Knights looked at the battlefield in front of him with a telescope. After confirming that the undead and the dragon were entangled together, the dwarves, humans and elves began to shrink their defenses.

The Scourge of the Undead captured the city of the trolls, Xin Saluo, and they added enough troops to themselves. Although it was easy for a single undead to fight, facing the mighty sea of ​​undead, they were supported by the military forces of the Hinterlands. The line of defense was not easy. In Quel'Thalas' plateau legion's garrison, almost half of the city walls around Quel'Dani's hut had been demolished.

Although the giant dragons are powerful, these proud creatures will not fight to the death for the living and undead, so their appearance does not mean that the advantage of the war has shifted to the empire, but only relieves the pressure on the battlefield.

"Quick! Repair the defenses quickly! Then let the Wildhammer brothers in Eagle's Nest Mountain step up, we need more artillery and tanks!"

Falstad and his good brother Kurdran walked on the defense line full of undead corpses. Some dwarves wore flamethrowers designed by dwarves, walked in the pile of corpses with a look of disgust, and burned the bones of the undead. As for the dead or wounded warriors on their own side, their remains were properly kept. Although they would eventually be sent to Eagle's Nest Mountain for cremation, the treatment of the two was completely different.

"We can borrow Arathi's war experience. We must build a fortified line of defense in the Hinterlands in the shortest possible time. Since the defense belt full of artillery can stop the dark blade undead, it will definitely stop the natural disaster." undead."

Kurdran, smoking a cigarette, said to Falstad:

"Maybe we can get some artillery from the empire. Although our boys are not very good at using this thing, there are many artillery masters in the Seventh Legion."

"The demand for military supplies from the empire is also very tight. Besides, defending the Hinterlands is the mission of the Wildhammer. We can't always rely on the empire. We have to find our own way."

Falstad rubbed his chin, and after a while, he turned to look at his brother:

"Do you still remember the group of goblins who came to us to sell weapons half a month ago? What's their name? What about Black Cable?"

"Hesso Military and Future Technology Laboratory! It seems to be the name."

Kurdran scratched his head and said:

"The group of goblins also sent a lot of weird weapon samples, which we threw in the warehouse."

"Go and contact them!"

Falstad whispered:

"I know they came from the Burning Plains, but it doesn't matter, does it? We spend money to buy arms, and those goblins make money happily. Anyway, if the dark blade finds out that they are selling arms, it's not our bad luck... Forget it , I’ll go find them myself, Kurdran, you’re in charge of the battlefield command, it might be a one-time deal, so we have to plan carefully and ruthlessly kill those goblins.”

"Ah Choo!"

The big boss of Heisuo Military and Future Technology Laboratory suddenly sneezed, which messed up the design drawing he was drawing. The designer Heisuo frowned and tore off the design drawing in front of him. , as if venting, tore the ball of paper into several pieces, and then ruthlessly threw it into the trash can at his feet.

"Shanna! Get me a cup of coffee!"

Heisuo's sharp voice came from the office. Shana, the secretary who was doing the accounting outside the office, shrugged, closed the account book, and went to pour coffee.

And all the assistants in the entire laboratory were shocked. Everyone knows that the boss has been very annoying recently, and no one wants to make Heisuo angry at this juncture. On the one hand, Heisuo is currently the leader of goblin engineering in the Black Iron District. The character, who earns untold amounts of money every month, is regarded as an idol by many goblins who are eager to make a fortune, but on the other hand, Hesuo's bad temper is also well known.

Just 2 days ago, an assistant who was found to be reselling the confidential research materials of the laboratory was tied up by Heisuo to a trial rocket tower, and was blown up into fireworks in the sky with a loud noise that pierced the sky.

"Commercial espionage..."

Heisuo stared closely at the stack of documents placed on his office. It was the result of Shanna's internal investigation in the past two days. He had read it several times. The goblin who resold the laboratory's confidential materials The force dug out behind it is not Heisuo's old opponent, the Overspark Technology Laboratory that has opposed Heisuo in various fields.

It was an imperial intelligence officer from southern border.

This made Hesuo feel a hint of irony and disbelief.

"Shana, what's the use of those humans stealing our research results?"

While drinking bitter coffee, Heisuo complained to his secretary: "With their IQ, I'm afraid they can't even understand my blueprint annotations. It's really unlucky... Maybe soon, the governor of the Black Iron District will Talk to me."

The goblin engineer said grimly:

"Maybe there's a fine to be paid, my God, a fine! What a nasty word."

"Think about it, boss."

Shana is used to Heisuo talking to herself, she always knows how to make Heisuo happy, this coquettishly dressed goblin secretary walked behind Heisuo and rubbed it with her hands shoulder, she said in a whisper:

"Those humans came to steal our research, not those gnomes' research. Doesn't this prove that in the eyes of humans, goblin engineering is better than gnome engineering?"

"Well...it sounds like there's nothing wrong with it."

The smell of perfume on Shana's body made Hesuo's mind a little disconnected, but he had to admit that what Shana said might make sense.

"And boss, although our share in the field of civilian machinery lags behind those dwarves, in the field of weapon design and production, Blacksus Technology has accounted for 37% of the entire market! We won a big victory, and last month's net profit was 1.4 million gold coins, this is only one month...Think about it, boss, if you continue like this, within 10 years, you will become the seventh trade prince of the goblins!"

"This is explosive profit, Shanna, the change of the Dark Blade Legion is about to be completed, and our income is destined to not be so high in the off-season, but I heard that the Defias Federal District may have to buy some marine equipment after a while, This is the news from you, Shana, you really are my good assistant, I was thinking, maybe... I should reward the outstanding employees."

Heisuo turned around, reached out his hand frivolously to touch Shana's chin, and with a lewd smile, he whispered:

"Maybe it's time to take a vacation to Gadgetzan, just you and me..."

"I'm very happy, but the premise is that we have to settle the matter in front of us first."

Shana calmly turned the topic raised by Heisuo to the other side. She did not refuse to develop a relationship other than friendship with a future business superstar, but the problem was that Shana knew very well that to catch a man The heart, ahead of time is the person who cannot let him get you easily.

"Oh, yes, bad luck, that damned spy!"

Heisuo gritted his teeth, and suddenly lost interest in flirting. In the Black Iron District, where business rules have been perfected, big businessmen like Heisuo know very well that once anything is connected with the northern empire, then It is not a simple report that can be solved.

"click"

Heisuo was thinking about what to do when the door of the office was pushed open. A black iron dwarf in a red robe arrogantly walked into Heisuo's office under the escort of two junior knights. With a groan, he handed a letter of inquiry to Heisuo without saying a word, and just read the beginning, sweat dripped down the forehead of the big goblin businessman.

"The Dark Blade Legion is stationed in the Military Law Department of the Black Iron Commercial Federal District..."

————————————————————————

"Mr. Hesso, there is evidence that you and your laboratory have recently had some not-so-good connections with the northern human empire."

Myra and two cold-faced high-level death knights were sitting opposite Hesuo, looking down at the newly dressed goblin businessman. Myra was present as the governor, while the two serious death knights beside him were serious The Gendarmerie law enforcement officer of the Eight Classics Military Law Department.

Don't think that there is no such thing as military law within the undead. In a legion like Dark Blade that does not prohibit personal emotions, many times, out of the obsession of the undead, some high-level knights will do things that violate orders.

At this time, it is time for the Military Law Department to appear... However, Tyrion set up this department at the beginning, just to wake up the high-ranking knights, and not to be too immersed in past feelings. Essentially, the Military Law Department sounds terrible, but In fact, it also serves as the task of correcting the thinking of knights and awakening the thinking of junior soldiers. In other words, it is a teaching department, but it is definitely enough to deceive laymen.

Facing Myra's gentle inquiry, Heisuo wiped his sweat with a handkerchief while thinking about answering. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I didn't investigate for a while, and let the spies of the Northern Xinjiang Empire sneak into my laboratory. This is my management error. I have already done an internal investigation. Yes, I am willing to accept punishment."

"Spy? Are there any spies from the empire in your laboratory?"

Myra glanced at the sluggish Heisuo in surprise, and then knocked on the table thoughtfully. Under Heisuo's despairing eyes, he coughed lightly:

"No, no, we'll talk about the commercial espionage later."

The governor stared at Heisuo. After a while, the Blood Lord took a document from the Dark Blade Gendarme and threw it in front of Heisuo. He leaned on the chair and said:

"The Hinterlands, the Wildhammer dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain, a few days ago, a salesman from your laboratory ventured across the battlefield to negotiate a deal with Lord Falstad, but it is said that the deal failed, Unfortunately..."

"this..."

Heisuo flipped through the documents, sweat dripped down from his dark green skin again, and while staring at the words, he quibbled:

"This is just the mistake of a second-rate arms salesman, Mr. Governor, my company and I have always been loyal to the Dark Blade. We are members and protectors of the free business system. Believe me, I will not make such a stupid decision.. .I'll fire that daredevil immediately!"

"No! Mr. Hesso, don't be nervous!"

Myra shook his fingers, lowered his voice, and said to Hesuo:

"I believe you have also heard the news that the undead of the Scourge are haunting the north. What I want to say is that the Scourge and the Dark Blade are not friends... We are also happy to see the forces of the Scourge being blocked on the Hinterlands battlefield, you understand me mean?"

Heisuo's eyes narrowed. This goblin merchant is very talented in taking advantage of loopholes. In fact, all goblin merchants are very good at taking advantage of loopholes. After thinking for a few seconds, Heisuo nodded and tentatively said:

"Well, of course, I will tell my hard-working salesman to talk to the Wildhammer dwarves again... Besides, my weapon will never appear on the battlefield against the Dark Blade, I swear!"

Myra nodded in satisfaction. Talking to smart people is such a pleasure. He took out another document and handed a pen to Hesuo:

"I believe you, Mr. Heisuo, your invention has greatly benefited Dark Blade in the past few years. We are willing to sign a contract with you for this. In the Black Iron District, we use the contract to speak. You and your The laboratory will monopolize the arms business of the Black Iron Zone to the Empire in the next 3 years, but remember, once a shell or bullet made by your laboratory falls on our position, this agreement will be invalidated! "

"And during the effective period of the agreement, every time you make a business, you need to pay 10% of the profits to the Black Iron District Chamber of Commerce, will you accept it?"

Facing Myra's question, Hesuo nodded without hesitation. The goblin's eyes even sparkled with gold coins. He impatiently signed his name on the document, and then put the Turning the gemstone ring over, he put it to his mouth and let out a sigh of relief, then ruthlessly printed it on the document, and a vivid Hessian logo was printed on his signature.

Uh, that's his personal seal.

"Of course, I am willing to accept it! It would be even better if the tax rate paid could be lower."

Heisuo touched his fingers regretfully.

Myra, disgusted by the goblin's insatiable appetite, shook his head, put the papers away, turned and walked out of the office, before leaving, he decided to teach the greedy goblin a lesson, so he told the black Suo blinked:

"Very well, then, next, you and these two gentlemen of the military police, let's talk about that commercial espionage...I won't bother you."
