Chapter 8: Complaint plan and steam airship


   "Milia City?" Seeing the location where Leo's finger came out, Nelson showed a dazed face, and did not understand why he chose this place as their escape destination.
  According to their current position, the distance between them and Miria City is indeed much shorter than the distance between them and Pangbo City, but the distance between the two cannot only be measured by the straight line on the map, but also by the actual terrain.
   If they go to Pangbo City, they only need to go down the small river, in the villages and towns by the river, find a usable boat, float down the river, and it only takes up to three days to reach Pangbo City.
But if they are going to the city of Milia, unless they are crossing the Black Forest, the largest and most primitive forest in the French empire, they must go around the edge of the forest and take at least seven days to reach Milia city.
And more importantly, the city of Miria is in the interior of the French Empire, and all around it are one of the most important towns in the French Empire. The summer palace of the Royal Family of the French Empire is built in Bordeaux next to the city of Miria On the outskirts of the city, where the fugitives of their English kingdom go, they simply throw themselves in the net.
With deep doubts, Nelson said what he thought about the city of Milia. Although he did not directly question Leo's decision, it had revealed that Leo's choice of location was not a suitable escape. destination.
After listening to Nielsen's words, Jason on the side, although still very confident in Leo, also had some doubts about whether it was appropriate to go to Milia City.
Leo, on the other hand, looked confident, smiling, and put away the map. The compass was tied to his arm with canvas. Then he hurriedly approached Nelson and asked, "Doctor, I ask you, Millie. In addition to being known as the City of Hundred Flowers, Yacheng has another name?"
   "City of Peace." Nielsen answered quickly.
   "Why is this title?" Leo asked again.
Nielsen frowned, saying: "It was because Empress Milia I of the French Empire divided the land that originally belonged to the royal garden, and built a brand new city, inviting the Continental Parliament headquarters of the Continental Parliament to settle here. Therefore, it is regarded as a place of permanent neutrality. Numerous disputes between the various countries of the Velen continent were accepted by the mainland parliament in the city of Melia, and they were finally resolved peacefully. No war broke out. Over time, it was called the city of peace. ."
"Yes, the headquarters of the Continental Parliament on the Weinland is there. You said that we will now go to the city of Milia, as a participant in the Battle of Brett, accuse the army of the Duke of Devin, the eldest son of the French Empire, against the commonality of all countries. The mainland agreement signed, using imine gas, what do you think?" Leo Qingxing's body's longing for Milia City, he now has a lot of information about the city and thought of this method.
   After hearing Leo’s plan, Nielsen’s glasses were wide open, his mouth slightly opened, and he could not close for a long time. Even his nose had forgotten to breathe, and he only used his mouth to inhale, which made his breathing sound heavy.
It took a long time before he calmed down and shouted at Leo: "Are you crazy? The Continental Parliament will not accept your complaint at all, they will throw you directly on the street, and then the French Secret Service Will find you, grab you, and let you stay in the dungeon forever."
"Hush, shh! Don't be too loud, don't be too excited." Leo seemed to have expected such a response from Nielsen. He reached over and covered Nielsen's mouth, making him unable to continue to shout, while placing his finger on his lips. , Begging him not to speak.
  Although Leo’s movements are not rough and his tone is very plain, Nielsen feels an inexplicable chill, as if he said a word aloud, he would be twisted by the man in front of him.
Leo released his hand covering Nielsen’s mouth at this time, ignoring the horrified expression in Nielsen’s eyes, and continued the topic just now, saying,
If a small soldier like me filed a complaint, it would not cause those high-ranking members of the Continental Parliament. Your attention is different, but you are a different doctor! You are an intern tutor of Weilon Medical College. You participated in the battle between the French Empire and the Inge Kingdom this time to save lives and help the wounded. But Duke of Devine killed those who had just used imine gas. Young interns who walked out of the college and are carrying out their mission of saving lives and helping the wounded, do you think that after such news spreads, will Weilun Medicine respond? Will the mainland parliament react?"
  Nearson's inner fear of Leo hadn't been completely dissipated, but Leo's mouthful of complaint plan heard him panic. Even if the plan is rough, and it is like walking on a tightrope, if you don’t pay attention, it will be lost, but it is undeniable that the plan is very maneuverable and the probability of success is also very large.
"If you just accuse the Duke of Derwin, the French Empire may really make a concession to make the complaint successful." Nielsen thought about Leo's plan carefully, and the more he thought it became feasible, he then thought that Leo was actually like this. In a short period of time, come up with such a good plan, this wisdom is really not a village blacksmith can have.
   He was silent for a while, and asked again: "You deliberately placed the target of the complaint on the Duke of Devin, the eldest son, to avoid spreading the scope of the attack to the French Empire and increase the difficulty of the complaint, right?"
"No!" Leo quickly gave an unexpected answer and pointed to Nelson, saying: "Don't you say that the army of the Duke of Devin should not be here? Since it shouldn't be, then Devin There must be something weird about the Duke, so he is a good target."
  Although Leo answered decisively, Nielsen always felt he was covering up.
   "But what does this do for you?" Nielsen questioned again.
"Of course it is good." Leo pointed at himself and Jason with a smile, and said: "We will be one of the main witnesses accusing the Duke of Derwin at that time. Although it is not as important as your doctor, it can also play. Some functions. When I want to come, the Kingdom of England will not send our two important witnesses to the battlefield, but will protect us and let us live comfortably. When the complaint is successful, we will also be Some credit. With these credits, you shouldn’t be a big problem if you want to leave the battlefield and return to your country."
  After listening, Nielsen pondered a bit and found that Leo’s plan seemed to be a key factor. Without his participation, this plan may not have any chance of success.
"This is your only choice. If the complaint is successful, it should also be of great benefit to you." Leo seems to have seen through Nielsen's thoughts and said: "At that time, not to mention how much you can get from the Kingdom Council after returning to your country. The benefits of Velon Medical School are that your students should not be held accountable for their death on the battlefield, and you can also keep your position as a trainee instructor."
As Leo said, Nielsen found that he really had no other choice. If he implemented Leo’s complaint plan, he would be held accountable by the medical school even if he would no longer be sent to the front by the army. Not only will you lose the position of trainee instructor, you may even lose your qualifications as a doctor.
   Thinking of Nielsen here, he was ready to agree with Leo’s plan, but suddenly the sound of a whistle blowing through the sky came from afar, and then he heard the loud noise from the bursts of mechanical friction increasing.
   "It's a steam airship!" Nielsen easily recognized what the source was from the distinctive sound. Then he saw that he did not care about his physical fatigue, stood up, stumbled to an open space by the river that was not covered by the surrounding trees and leaves, and looked over in the direction of the sound.
   Leo and Jason were also curious about Nielsen’s steam airship, walked to the river, and looked up.
   Not long after, I saw some neatly arranged light spots appearing in the distant sky as if shining stars. It didn't take long for the spot to get closer and the sky began to brighten, and a huge airship appeared in the eyes of the three.
I saw that the airship is about 400 meters long, and it looks like a whale, but it has two more tail fins for balancing. The whole is forged from a silver metal. The huge rivets connect the metal plates. A whole.
   There are five steam pipes at the top of the airship. From time to time, steam is sprayed out of the pipe, just like the water column produced when the whale breathes.
At the bottom of the airship is a more than three hundred meters long cockpit, the cockpit and the main body of the airship are connected together, and the rear of the cockpit is a propeller tied together with thousands of steam pipes. When the airship needs to accelerate, thousands of pipes Simultaneously erupting steam outwards can instantly increase the speed of the airship by more than ten times.
In addition, the most shocking thing at the bottom of the cockpit is the barrel with the muzzle down, roughly counted, there are about 100 large and small barrels, and the thickest one is doing Right in front of the field, the tube is about fifty meters away, and it looks like it should be used exclusively against other airships.
   Soon, the airship flew over the heads of the three people, and did not stay for a while for the three ants below.
   "It's really beautiful, every time I see it, I feel it is the most beautiful machine in the world." Seeing the airship's tail disappear from the top of the mountain, Nielsen could not help breathing a long sigh.
   "What a big guy!" Jason echoed.
Contrary to these two, Leo seemed a lot calmer. Although he also admired this strange steam machine for its strange beauty, he had also seen and boarded a star destroyer that could accommodate a city. This airship is naturally different from the star destroyer, and the shock felt in my heart is much smaller.
   Compared to the take-off boat itself, he is more interested in the badge on the airship, because that badge is the two-headed deer badge, obviously this airship belongs to the Duke of Devin.
  Leo told Nelson the badge of the airship he saw, and Nelson immediately judged that the airship was probably the Duke of Derwin’s vehicle.
  After understanding the airship's ownership, Leo and Nielsen couldn't help but be puzzled, because from the direction of the airship's flight, the airship should have departed from the battlefield. That is to say, Duke Devin put down his things and left the battlefield before the war was over.
  Nilsen also looked from the direction of the airship flight. The airship should be flying towards the emperor of the French Empire, and it was flying very quickly, constantly accelerating through the thrusters.
  This makes people like Leo and Nielsen feel that something that they cannot touch is happening.
  The two didn't struggle with this matter any more. Nielsen quickly agreed with Leo's plan, and Leo also said he could not help but accuse the matter of losing timeliness. He decided to cross the Black Forest.
Hearing Leo’s decision, Nielsen accepted the decision even though he was a bit worried, and even showed a lot of expectations in his eyes, because the Black Forest is one of the most primitive forests in existence. Ancient species, many of which have been lost to the outside world, if he can bring out one or two, he can definitely gain extraordinary reputation in medical school.
On the contrary, Jason was staring at Leo with a horrified look, wanting to shout, but afraid of making too much noise, holding back his emotions and lowering his voice, he said excitedly to Leo: "You are crazy! It's really crazy! Crossing the Black Forest, this kind of thing is only what you want. If you want to die, you can jump into the water and drown. Why waste the energy to run so far to die?"
   Leo did not expect Jason’s reaction to be that great. UU reading www.uukanshu.com In his memory, the Black Forest is just a huge area of ​​virgin forest.
   "Are you scared of the Black Forest?" Leo frowned slightly and asked.
   "Aren't you afraid?" Jason's face showed obvious fear, saying: "Don't you ever hear the songs about the Black Forest when you were young?"
   "Songs?" Leo heard the words and looked at this big man a few centimeters taller than him with a strange look on his face. He didn't know what to say for a while.
He might have thought that Jason would appear so nervous and scared because he had been to the Black Forest before and had encountered bad things, but he absolutely could not think that Jason’s present panic behavior actually originated from the Black Forest when he was a child. Ballad.
Before Leo persuaded Jason, Nelson on the side stood up and persuaded: "The Black Forest is indeed terrible. If it really crosses the Black Forest, I'm afraid I won't agree. But..." Pointing at their current location and Miria City on the map, they drew a route in the middle, and circled the black forest zone where the route is located, saying: "The black forest we pass through is only on the edge, basically Did not enter the Black Forest, and this area has been explored by many people. Most deadly beasts are felt deeper in the forest and are much less dangerous."
   Jason looked down at the map, and after a long time, he raised his head, slightly distrustful towards Nelson, and asked, "Is the danger really much smaller?"
   "Really it will be much smaller." Nielsen nodded with certainty, and then added: "But I need to prepare something in advance."
  Jason was silent again, and finally nodded hard, saying: "Okay! Let's go to the Black Forest."
