Vol 2 Chapter 597: Father's analysis

"Really... That guy is such an idiot." Heliga muttered to herself looking at the sad expression that his father hadn't shown for a long time, while she stood aside wittily without words.
Kidion's thing, which Heliga turned out under his guidance, had no value to Heliga himself. Thinking about it, father seems to be its only suitable destination. And when he heard that the once-like-minded friend had ended up like this now, Warners could only bow his head and say nothing.
After a brief period of sadness, Warners adjusted his mentality-he wanted to know what happened in the imperial capital at this moment more than that of Kidion, an old friend.
How could his son become a hero that everyone knows overnight, so that he encountered a lot of trouble when he returned home this time using the name provided by the school?
"After all, it is the media of the imperial capital... and it has caught up with the hot spots of Olibat. The news spreads so fast now that it can't be compared with when I went to Liber several years ago." Heliga said, "but Compared to this... I think father, you must have discovered that this is not just an ordinary "terror attack" at all."
"Yeah... it's more like a demonstration against the reformists headed by the iron-blooded prime minister." Warners thought carefully and had long observed these things. "To be honest, with the coverage and execution power of the "Railway Gendarmerie" now, Coupled with the intelligence situation power that spreads across the eyes of the major emerging autonomous prefectures, it is almost impossible to create such a massive rebellion. The only thing that can make this possible is what can be combined with the "iron and blood". The "Prime Minister" is equal. "
"Republic...or the nobles." Heliga said the answer that his father had been hiding.
"Yes... and based on the intelligence of the last few days, it seems that the Republic is a bit far-fetched. Because as far as I know, the Republic is now in chaos brought about by the domestic nationalist struggle. The government departments under President Locksmith are already exhausted by dealing with their own internal problems. This extraordinary promise to attend the "Sisemlia Conference on Commerce" has also shown that the Republic seems to It is necessary to fight with the empire for the ownership and interest issues there—under such circumstances, I don’t think the Republic has the ability and energy to do it. What's more, the actions of the imperial nobles are a bit strange. For example, the El Barrea home. Seeing Heliga’s confused eyes, Warners explained: "I heard people say a few days ago that a new batch of guided chariots "No. 18" were transported to the newly built warehouse in Orlocs Fortress. in. "
"That is the latest "RF" guided tank. "Heilijia heard Olibate mention this thing, "It seems that the movement started a long time ago?" The arms race between the nobility and the reformists..."
"The reason why this time is different is that the number of batches is very huge... it is completely different from the past, so that the trains carrying goods were once paralyzed. Moreover, the leader's attitude towards this incident was also covered up. Yes, I don’t know what the reason is."
"If the transportation volume is far more than usual...this latest type of guided tank, it must be impossible to stock up and sell it early—"
"Yeah, you got the point," Warners nodded, "This means that the production of tanks has suddenly increased recently-as far as I know, it has always been regarded as aristocratic minion. Several departments of "RF" did not update the production process and recruit large-scale labor in a short period of time-then, what is the sudden increase in production capacity? "
"...The supply of raw materials?" Heliga guessed uncertainly.
"Yeah...this is exactly what I was thinking about." Warners nodded, "The various metal minerals needed to produce tanks are considered to be the assets of the Erebonian Empire...and Near Luray, where the headquarters of the "RF" company is located, there is an iron mine named "Zakson". However, because of the remoteness, the emperor himself had no time to take care of it, so it was given to the local nobles, the ruler of the "Nudia State" and one of the "four famous gates", the Marquis of Rogner. "
"...Marquis Logner, that big and big beard?" Heliga remembered such a character. "I remember he was a very loyal royalist. He probably wouldn't do things like eating inside and out..."
"It's hard to say...Who knows how the old foxes of El Barrea and Kane would fool him. He is really easy to deal with with a person like him."
"Then... do you want to talk to His Highness Olibate?"
"Yeah." Warners nodded. "Speaking of it...Looking at it this way, the risk of war... has been raised to a terrifying level in a short period of time."
"Yes...I'm coming back this time by the opportunity, just to explain something to you." Heliga nodded.
"Oh?" Warners had an interested look in his eyes. "Talk about it?"
"If the war starts, what is the position of father?"
"Naturally, we remain neutral. If the El Barrea family uses the previous agreement to force us to participate in their so-called justice, then we can only do it reluctantly... However, because you are now famous in the empire Now, even he has to face up to your influence... At least we will not be tossed by him as before."
"...If I said, I want us to take greater risks and responsibilities here?" After thinking about it, Heilijia finally gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "If it can be successful, then after it's done, it should be done again. No one will come to our troubles...but the possibility of failure is not without it, and unless the war is over soon, we may also suffer from this."
"...What's your plan?" Warners frowned, his son's description made him somewhat unpredictable.
And Heliga's answer was a matter of course beyond Werners' expectations.
"I... want us here to be a place where the royal family will be sheltered during the war-this means that this must be guaranteed under the nose of the Duke of El Barea. So when the conflict with the Duke’s family comes, I think Is it predictable."
"The protector of the royal family..." Warners muttered to himself, "Is it your idea? Or that highness—"
"Both." Heliga looked directly at his father, neither humble nor overbearing.
"...Let me listen to your thoughts." Unexpectedly, his father was not angry, but said slowly after a period of silence.
