Chapter 606: The First Extreme Narrowness
It's December, and there are still some days before the Winter Spirit Festival.
The meteorological department predicts that the southern part of Albion will usher in another wave of frozen ground cold currents, and the warm water non-freezing port of Steam happens to be at the head-on impact of this cold current. As the dividing point of the entire Albion territory, remember, this refers to the dividing point between the north and south of the entire Albion territory, not the dividing point of the entire continent. In terms of climatic conditions, the entire Albion has unique advantages, an extended version of the Great Lakes Industrial Zone of the Lighthouse.
As the north and south converge at this dividing point, there are naturally more monsters, and it is also a more interesting swing in politics. Whether it is the cabinet, the military or the royal family, the self-contained [Steam City] has always been conducting equal and free docking in an outsider mode.
This spirit is proudly called the flower of independence blooming on the industrial gears by Mayor Steam.
The new cabinet will take office at the Winter Spirit Festival.
Always loyal to the cabinet, whoever is the new cabinet, you will be loyal to whoever it is. This is one of Albion's classic political jokes. The war is over, veterans are retiring, a new cabinet is about to take office, and the royal rights are being compressed. All these represent a kind of eagerness.
The local bureaucrats of [Steam City] urgently need a good political achievement to praise the new cabinet and show that everything is thriving under the leadership of the superiors.
This kind of face-saving project also existed in the ancient times of the Rabbit Family.
For example, when the new emperor ascends the throne, auspicious signs will appear immediately, and everyone will be happy, right? However, this auspicious sign is not so easy to find. Even if you flatter the emperor with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, you can't just make empty cannons. At least you have to find rice husks to make up the number, so this is a test of the local brains. .
Stim is lucky here. When the Winter Spirit Festival is approaching, he happened to meet Lin En, who has a little brain... Well, in the eyes of most people, Lin En is a little white-faced prodigal son, who is throwing money from Earl Russell into the water. Although everyone praises him on the surface, there are all kinds of sayings in private.
One of the more popular sayings among the gentlemen is
The pretty widow who was alone in her empty room met a man who was in love with her, and her heart was completely taken away. It was best not to conflict with her at this time.
As for whether Amiste was really infatuated and willing to throw money to Lin En to squander, if the two parties knew about this, they would probably smile knowingly and tacitly not care.
In short, Lin En, who seemed to represent the policies of Xiangrui and Sturm, received not only policy benefits and support, but also urging. His unhurried advancement and attitude of not wanting to make mistakes made many municipal officials glare at him, saying, "Why are you so slow? You are too slow to spend money!" If you don't know how to spend money, there are civil servants who are willing to help you make plans. Get the good-looking ones first!
The old man wants face, while Lin En wants the foundation. The initial contradiction has already manifested.
During the days when Lin En worked, many people from various offices have inquired and recommended themselves in a roundabout way, and some people have even found the female knight. Fortunately, Lin En had the full support of the Countess. He had the highest say in the relevant plans. Lin En was very confident when he tactfully asked them to wait or say no. It's not you who spent the money, you are not the client, don't give me your advice.
In any case, Lin En's fire was burning.
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow. This scene was destined not to be seen in Stumm, but the heavy snow fell from the sky, and the steam roar of the factory became weak. This kind of coldness could make it impossible for workers who were not wearing enough warm clothes to work in the factory.
In this severe cold, if you grab a wrench, it's basically the same as Hans in Stalingrad, who tried to pull the bolt in summer military uniforms, shaking you like Parkinson's and unable to work.
The fire that Lin En started was a strike on an unnotified Beyonder stronghold in the lower city.
This operation was carried out by the third team of the Lantern Team and a team of the [Clock Tower], which effectively cracked down on some illegal and disorderly wild Beyonders in the jurisdiction. By the way, in addition to the originally designated territory, in order to encourage competition, the headquarters decided that whoever occupies the most territory will own it. They thought that since everyone was Sequence 8 or Sequence 9, they should be about the same after the competition.
But they somewhat ignored Lin En, the troublemaker.
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and even the occasional explosion of offensive grenades, the quiet Lower City in the silver white welcomed the bustle. The two joint departments, with output, reconnaissance, assistance, control, and strong attack, fought against a group of untrained extraordinary people, just like the regular army ravaging the Black Uncle Guerrilla.
Killing 4 Sequence 9s and 1 Sequence 8, capturing 5 Sequence 9s and 1 Sequence 8 alive, a medium-sized organization that colluded with foreign forces and existed like a crow was destroyed, and guns, ammunition, and even explosives were found in it. This fire caught even Lin En off guard.
They could only catch rabbits while sniping. These secret-cultivated extraordinary people were unlucky, and it felt like they were blown up by a bomb.
Lin En did not rush to the front line like Bill and Ye Funi.
He had good healing ability, so he stayed behind to handle the control information with Atali. What made him feel a little annoyed was that Captain Quinn, who wore a bright red scarf, had been staring at Lin En with his dead eyes and expressionless face in the name of protection since the operation began.
Mr. Quinn's job is to catch fish, ah no, to protect the command post in Lynn.
Therefore, the young gentleman had no suitable reason at all to ask Mr. Quinn to stop staring directly at him.
It all starts with Leticia.
From the [Timepiece Tower]'s perspective, Linn was the culprit who abducted their pistachios. As the captain who took great care of Leticia, Mr. Quinn looked at Linn's critical eyes and said, It was as if he was looking down on his illegitimate son-in-law, and he was dissatisfied wherever he looked.
"Well, the finishing touches are already in progress."
With her eyes closed, Atali opened and closed her lips through her ability to connect to the front.
"The remaining die-hard elements have been eliminated, the area is being repeatedly inspected to ensure safety, and the operation has officially entered the final stage."
"Captain Quinn, you are quite familiar with attacking overseas spies, don't you think?" Linn immediately turned to face Quinn.
"Okay, I'll go over now." Quinn, who spoke with a middle-aged mermaid accent, slowly greeted the team members to set off. There was no need to focus on protection here anymore.
"call……"
After Quinn led the team away, Linn quietly breathed a sigh of relief in front of the others. Immediately, he patted Aitali on the shoulder and changed the subject.
