Thousands of sparks

Chapter 149 Superfluous
Contrary to Lorraine's vigorous recruitment campaign, the Belford Automobile Factory is experiencing an unprecedented wave of resignations.

Polina has tried everything, but she still can't prevent the experts and professors hired from Olin with high salaries to resign one after another.It's not enough to move it with emotion and understand it with reason, it's not enough to improve the salary, and it's not even possible for Luo Sen to "persuade" him with a wolf-like People's Army.

Under Dusand's order, the original imperial army, the police in various cities, and all the previous legal armed security were integrated together, under the command of Brigadier General Philip of the People's Army.

Although Philip was in charge of the command, the de facto supreme command was still in the hands of Rosen.Several important cities in Newsail, including Upper Albin, are now defended by Rosen's soldiers.

Rosen himself didn't have any big opinions on this, and he faithfully fulfilled all the orders given by Dusand.But in the face of the wave of resignations at the Belford Automobile Manufacturing Plant...he has no good solution.

Those experts who were hired with high salaries, without exception, all asked to leave immediately.Even if Polina told them clearly that the empire had cut off all flights to and from Newsail.

"If they are not even afraid of the guns on their waists, then...the reason for this wave of resignations is probably not the worry about their own safety." After learning about the wave of resignations, he is currently in charge of the work of Niusal Aika Ms. Tamara quickly made her own judgment, "There may be a problem here-I am afraid that conventional means alone cannot solve the problem."

Polina, who visited Eka, looked sad, and she asked quickly, "How should we deal with it?"

After Rosen's "task" failed, he directly recommended Aika to Polina, and specifically reminded, "Master is very busy recently, so don't bother him with these little things—you can go directly to Ms. Tamara Just do it."

"The Belford Automobile Factory is an important strategic factory in Upper Albin, and we will start to deal with it immediately." Ms. Tamara thought for a while and said, "Mr. Morse just finished a task and is now in the repair stage. Let He came to deal with this matter, and it should be resolved soon."

Morse was invited by Dusand to Aika, and he showed extraordinary ability as soon as he joined the job.Under his leadership, within a month, the Morse team successively uncovered four imperial espionage organizations lurking in the Upper Albin area.And accurately captured 76 enemy spies on the entire route.

During the capture, Morse suffered some minor injuries.He is currently recuperating at home and will be able to return to work in about a month.

Although injured, it was not difficult for Morse to handle such a task.With his arms suspended in white bandages, Morse appeared in the two-story building where the experts lived.After about 10 minutes, Morse, with his arms hanging, twisted the arm of a young man and appeared outside the small building.

Several postmen in red took over the young man who was arrested by Morse with one hand, and turned around and stuffed the man into the steam carriage.

By the time the steam carriage arrived in Newsail Aika, Dusand had been "waiting for a long time" here.

"Mr. Morse." Morse pushed the door open with one arm, and Dusand, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately raised his head, "Are you all right?"

After closing the door of the room, Morse replied, "It's just to catch a thief. Even if I break both hands, I can catch people."

"These people are all-pervasive." Dusande took Morse to sit on the sofa beside him, and said with some emotion, "If it weren't for the help of Mr. Morse, I'm afraid that Newsail would be eaten by them." It's full of holes."

Morse blinked his eyes, "What's so unusual about this kind of thing? Miss Lorraine is doing the same thing in Olin... maybe she is doing the same thing? It doesn't matter if we have some small flies here, as long as the enemy is injured Just bigger."

"That's not necessarily true." Dusand shook his head, "The Empire is a giant, and they can easily bear losses that we can't bear. To fight against such an opponent, we must despise them strategically, but tactically, we must It needs to be taken seriously.”

If you are intimidated by the enemy's huge size strategically, then don't think about resisting at all-wash your neck early and wait for others to chop it.

To regard a strong enemy as an opponent that one can defeat strategically, the prerequisite is to pay attention to all actions of the opponent tactically.The Empire can lose a dozen colonial stars and still maintain a huge war potential, but now Newsail can't even afford the shutdown of the Belford Automobile Factory.

Speaking of the resignation wave, Du Sande quickly brought the topic back. He was very concerned about the changes in the Belford Automobile Factory, but Paulina and Rosen's reports were somewhat unclear.Now Mr. Morse has gone and brought back a suspect—this is the fastest way for Dussand to get an answer.

"The matter itself is not very complicated." Morse said, "The young man who was arrested should be a secret agent sent by Orin Aika to Newsea, or a Newsea person who was instigated to rebel. His identity is not clear. It’s important, but he is responsible for spreading the word—most of the family members of these experts live in Olin or other colonial planets, and Olin uses their families to threaten them, demanding that these experts stop serving us.”

Dusande nodded, then frowned.After a while, he suddenly asked, "What kind of research are these experts mainly engaged in?"

This question... Morse didn't pay much attention to it at first.But this does not affect him to quickly extract effective information from the intelligence he has obtained.

"It's mainly materials, mechanical automation, and research on the Ipsilon mine." Mr. Morse said, "The artificial rubber research center that you and Grand Technician Polina value the most has not been harassed."

The Empire hopes that Newsale will take over the position of the Alliance. Although this is very unthinkable, it has indeed become an established fact.Moreover, the empire firmly believes that it can completely wipe out the alliance in a short period of time, thus buying time for itself to resolve internal conflicts.

According to the plan of the agency, after the empire uses the corpses of the alliance to fill its stomach, the whole of Newsail can grow to succeed the alliance and become a place for the empire to "dispose of waste".

Wanting to dispose of waste for the empire is not a difficult task that ordinary countries can accomplish.

In the agency's plan, before the alliance was completely wiped out by the empire, Niusal had to expand rapidly.In this regard, they even did not hesitate to send supplies to Newsail through the distant Star Sea Federation.

Yes, more than 80% of the so-called "aid materials" provided by the Star Sea Federation to Newsail were paid by the Empire.

The resources sent by the Star Sea Federation are not only strategic materials, but also a large number of precision processing equipment, tools and design drawings.From the ship's main gun design drawings to the technical manuals for maintaining and constructing gas pipelines, the Star Sea Federation seems to be too lazy to conceal the source of the materials-these things are clearly printed with the "Made in Olin" logo.

With this level of "funding the enemy", the empire has become a big sponsor who is closer than his own mother.They can't wait to put all the resources in the hands of Newsale, urging this new "country" to grow up rapidly.

In this context, the main purpose of the empire's "attack" on Niusal may be to "firm Niusal to take the rebellious route".

Blocking all traffic routes in Newsail, massacring civilians in Newsail indiscriminately, and even killing Androni in front of Dusande, all these actions can be resolved by "firming Newsail's rebellion will" explain.But... to explain the wave of resignations in the Belford Automobile Factory is somewhat unreasonable.

Letting a group of specialists from Olin go would slow Newsale's growth rate, and it would do little to help in the area of ​​deepening Newsale's hatred for the Empire - it's pretty much a thankless task.

Du Sande subconsciously thought there was something strange about it, but he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the empire for a while.

"The young man who was captured...squeeze all the value out of him." Dusande thought for a while and waved his hand, "Do an investigation on other research institutions and factories in Newsail as soon as possible. If the Empire really If there is an action, it will definitely not just focus on the car factory."
