Imperial Elite

Chapter 105 Five Hundred Tons of Kazan Gold

Joe originally wanted to go to Citibank as soon as possible to discuss Rolls-Royce's plan to build a factory there.

The main reason for the need to expedite this process is that Joe's current business ventures have expanded too rapidly.

Although they are basically centered around Wagner, Joe now has businesses ranging from everyday hardware products to machine gun engines, and even national defense businesses.

Furthermore, most of these industries rely entirely on Joe's prestige and influence to operate.

For example, the event that forced Joe to cancel his trip to Citizens was that the newly formed Bohemian government offered Joe a contract, hoping that he could help their legion evacuate safely.

The Bohemian Legion was a legend even during the great war, a time when many talented individuals emerged.

Dissatisfied with Habsburg rule, she even felt that Lucia seemed kind and benevolent compared to the Habsburgs.

Furthermore, as the war progressed, all the warring nations were in dire need of personnel capable of filling in the gaps.

This is similar to how the Habsburgs and Teutons used the promise of Polish independence as bait to encourage Polish soldiers to form legions and join the war.

With Bohemians aiming for Bohemian independence, the Bohemians formed the Bohemian Legion in Russia, primarily composed of surrendered and captured Bohemians, supplemented by Bohemian expatriates residing in Russia.

Just like the Polish Germans, who also fought for independence and displayed great skill and strategic value in the war, these Bohemians were extremely brave in the war.

In that campaign, the Provisional Government of Lucia deployed death camps and women's death camps, which resulted in a large-scale counterattack by the Teutons.

These Bohemians achieved a remarkable feat, breaching three lines of Habsburg defenses within hours of launching their attack with only 3,500 men, capturing over 4,000 Habsburgs.

However, its own losses were less than a third of the total.

Following this, the Provisional Government of Lucia lifted the size restrictions on the Bohemian Legion, allowing the legion to expand.

However, the timing of this order was not ideal, because soon after, with the Teutons launching a full-scale counterattack and the collapse of the provisional government, the Bohemian Legion had to choose sides between the left-wing government and the military government.

Even before they could be qualified to take sides, the Bohemian Legion first had to survive the Teutonic onslaught.

The Bohemian Legion also accomplished this in Bakhmadi. To cover the retreat of the main force and armored trains, the rearguard of the Bohemian Legion held out in Bakhmadi for a week, although the rearguard was almost completely wiped out.

However, compared to the Lucia forces, which were almost in complete collapse at the same time, this performance could be described as outstanding. In fact, if the Teutons had not transferred a lot of troops from the western front, some people would have thought that the Bohemian Legion would have been the most disciplined and strongest fighting force on the eastern front.

Instead of adding "one of" to "strongest" as we do now.

Following this, the Lucia left-wing government and the military government offered different conditions to the Bohemian Legion.

The conditions offered by the Lucia left-wing government were that the Bohemian Legion should take the long Eastern Railway to the East and then travel by sea to fight on the Western Front, or join them to continue fighting on the Eastern Front.

The condition offered by the Luzan military government was that they would join the Luzan military government nearby and continue fighting in the Balkans.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Bohemian Legion should join the Lucian military government to continue fighting in the Balkans, rather than traveling along that long Eastern Railway.

Because it was the closest place to their homeland, which they longed for independence, and the risks were far greater than traveling thousands of miles across the Eastern Railway and then circling halfway around the world to join the war.

But at this moment, a small incident changed the Bohemian Legion's decision.

With the rise of numerous warlords due to the coexistence of two governments, a shrewd military leader launched an attack on Kazan, which was then poorly defended.

Kazan sounds like a mysterious underground city from an adventure novel, where a vast treasure of dwarves is stored.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Kazan was one of the earliest and largest oil-producing areas in Russia, the ambitious military leader was clearly not after Kazan's petrochemical industry.

Before the collapse of the Russian Empire, due to the large-scale retreat of the front lines, the Russian emperor transported the empire's gold reserves, a total of 500 tons of gold, to Kazan.

After all, when the last emperor invaded Moscow, they not only took the chandeliers from the palace, but also scraped off the gold leaf from the church walls.

Therefore, in the event of special circumstances, it is better to hope that the Teutons will not touch the 500 tons of gold than to hope that they will sign a truce agreement when they have the upper hand.

Then, with the collapse of the Lucia Empire and the fall of the provisional government, the military leader naturally set his sights on this batch of gold.

At this time, due to pressure on the western front, the left-wing government did not retain much power in Kazan.

The military leader successfully captured Kazan and headed south with the gold, intending to defect to the military government.

After the fall of Kazan, the left-wing government, which understood the importance of gold, immediately dispatched troops to hunt down and intercept this military leader.

Ultimately, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the outskirts of Togliatti, and the battle was extremely brutal.

Both sides fought to the death for 500 tons of gold.

However, the location where they broke out in battle was not good, as the Bohemian Legion, which had retreated to the rear to rest, was also nearby.

After being drawn in by the fierce battle, the five hundred tons of gold led the Bohemian Legion to unhesitatingly choose the left over the right.

While the reputation and honor of mercenaries are very important, this is five hundred tons of gold. For the Bohemian Republic, which is already in the process of being established, this amount of gold is enough to make Bohemia live a life of unimaginable wealth.

This is a price that no one can refuse.

After choosing the five hundred tons of gold, the Bohemian Legion faced a small problem.

That is, how to transport these 500 tons of gold back.

Those who frequently play another type of Slavic game know that the so-called "search, attack, and retreat" game is relatively simple in terms of the search and attack phases. However, when you want to move on to the third step of retreating after completing the first two steps, any slight movement can make your nerves extremely tense.

At this time, the western front was still engaged in intense fighting, involving not only the Lucian leftists but also the Teutons.

To the south, the formidable Lucia military government was waiting there. With only 40,000 men against the Lucia military government's hundreds of thousands of troops, they were indeed at a slight disadvantage.

As for heading north, theoretically one could cross the Barents Sea and return home by sea, but for any sane person, leading 40,000 people across the Arctic Ocean is never a reliable option.

Therefore, the only remaining option was to travel eastward via the Eastern Railway and obtain a ship from the Far East to return home.

This was a long expedition. Although it was one of the most disciplined and combat-effective units on the Eastern Front, it seemed like an almost impossible task to march more than 8,000 kilometers without a stable rear and supplies.

Moreover, because they obtained gold, both the left and the right wing treated them as part of a faction along the way.

However, with the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire in 1918, Bohemia, along with Poland and other territories that had once belonged to the Habsburgs, gained independence.

The establishment of the Bohemian Republic made the Bohemian Legion incredibly powerful, as if they had been given a dinosaur's whip.

Beginning in mid-1918, the Bohemian Legion made a slow but unstoppable advance eastward.

Along the way, they not only had to fight against both the left and the right, but also had to constantly repair the damaged railways and tunnels so that their armored trains carrying gold could travel east by rail.

After more than a year of fighting, the Bohemian Legion not only controlled most of the Far Eastern railways, but its vanguard had also entered the Far East.

Then they encountered a huge problem: the Bohemian Legion was advancing eastward along the Far Eastern Railway, and Irkutsk on the shores of Lake Baikal, where they had arrived, was the starting point of the most difficult section of the entire Far Eastern Railway.

The Baikal Mountains, located in the southern part of Lake Baikal, are an extremely rugged mountain range, making the construction of a railway here extremely difficult. When the Far Eastern Railway was built to this point...

Even the Russians, known for their recklessness, compromised upon seeing this mountain range. Instead of building a railway across it, they constructed two icebreakers in Lake Baikal to transport train carriages between the two shores.

Even in winter, they chose to build a temporary railway on the surface of Lake Baikal to keep the railway running.

It wasn't until the Russian Empire government finally decided to completely resolve this issue that the Russians carved out a railway around the lake by hand on the cliffs of the Baikal Mountains, consisting of dozens of tunnels and arched bridges.

This made this section the most scenic and legendary part of the nearly 10,000-kilometer-long railway line.

The problem arose when the Lucian left, who controlled the railway, issued an ultimatum to the Bohemian Legion: either leave the gold or they would destroy the ring railway and cut off the Bohemian Legion's way home.

Having already covered most of the distance, the Bohemian Legion naturally wouldn't choose to give up. After all, that was five hundred tons of gold. If they gave up now, what would their year-long perseverance amount to?

Therefore, giving up is naturally out of the question.

However, forcing their way through here would obviously come at a great cost, even for those with formidable fighting strength.

After assessing the potential losses, the Bohemian Legion felt confident that if they broke through the Lucian Left's defenses in Irkutsk...

Whether they wait for winter to arrive and build a railway on the ice, or repair the lakeside railway that the leftists might destroy, they will pay a considerable price.

So, given how things have developed, they have no choice but to find a way to call for outside help.

However, because they seized that gold, they offended the People's Revolutionary Union and the Russian military government, so even though the world's major countries had their eyes on that gold.

It was also not appropriate for them to directly take action against the Bohemian Legion. The only country that actually tried to do something directly was the United States, which sent combat troops to assist the Lusi military government and the right-wing military leaders further north after the collapse of the Lusi Provisional Government.

However, due to the poor fighting capacity of the American army and the fact that the Americans were not well-suited to the climate of Lucia, these troops had to withdraw after holding out for several months due to heavy losses and low morale.

If the world's major countries cannot take action, is there anyone else who can?
The answer is yes.

In order to bring the Bohemian Legion home, the Bohemian government offered projects to the Wagner Group and Bayar Company, hoping they could help with the landing in the Far East and then assist the Bohemian government in its withdrawal from the Far East.

The Bohemian government offered 70 tons of gold, which, at current market value, is worth over 100 million pounds.

If you convert it to a different value, the actual purchasing power is roughly equivalent to four or five cruisers in good condition.

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

However, compared to 500 tons of gold, it is still slightly less.

When the Bohemian diplomat handed the contract offer to Joe in his London apartment.

Joe's first reaction was that the money was too little.

You have 500 tons, but you only give me 70 tons. Who are you looking down on?
However, Joe raised objections, stating that to complete the task, not only would the entire Wagner crew need to be mobilized, but some large equipment would also be required.

The saying goes, "When the cannons roar, gold is worth a fortune." 70 tons of gold is not enough; at least 150 tons are needed.

Give me 150 tons of gold, and I guarantee the rest will be safely delivered to Bohemia.

When Joe proposed raising the price, the Bohemian diplomat calmly stated that it was precisely because of Wagner's excellent combat capabilities and his achievements in assisting the independence of three countries in the north that they set the price at seventy tons of gold.

Because their offer to Bayar was only for 50 tons, if Joe rejected the offer, they would award the contract to Bayar.

For the first time in history, Joe, who previously had no ill will toward the Gauls, developed a strong dislike for them.

However, Joe also understood that the Bohemians brought the Gauls in at this time mainly to lower the price for him and prevent him from asking for an exorbitant price.

After all, the Bohemian Legion only has one chance. So compared to the Bayar Company, which has not yet achieved anything significant since its establishment and is only able to watch the Black Uncle grin in the Dark Continent, it is still at a slight disadvantage.

However, if they ask for too high a price, they might actually give the order to Bayar.

So after a difficult back-and-forth, Joe almost slapped the Bohemian diplomat in the face with the price of the Indomitable SUV and the Hound tank.

Joe finally managed to extract another ten tons of gold from the Bohemian diplomats, and the two sides agreed that after the Wagner Group and the Bohemian Legion joined forces, the Bohemian Legion would deliver fifty tons of gold to Wagner.

The remaining thirty tons of gold will be paid after the Bohemian Legion returns to the Old World.

Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, the two parties signed the contract without much haggling.

Then Joe had to start preparing for this trip to the Far East.

As a secret operation, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Therefore, after signing the contract, Joe did not tell anyone about it.

Instead, it began to mobilize Wagner troops stationed in NATO on a large scale under the guise of training.

At the same time, considering the nature of this operation as a quick in-and-out surgical operation, Joe placed a large order for six-wheeled armored vehicles and trucks with Rolls-Royce, and used his personal connections to prioritize the production of these trucks, requiring them to complete the order within a month and a half.

Then Joe's task was to plan the route from NATO to the Far East by sea. The shortest route was to first sail along the Old World coastline, then through the Suez Canal, and then through the Strait of Malacca to the Far East.

Taking into account the time for troop preparation and voyage, Joe would not be able to reach the Far East for at least three months.

To accomplish this mission, Jode mobilized a significant number of troops, including the elite Wagner 1st Armored Battalion and almost all of the Wagner Commandos who were undergoing training.

Before he could get the gold, Joe had to pay for the operation himself.

Fortunately, thanks to his face, or rather, his prestige, Joe was able to get discounts or delayed payments on many of the expenses and costs involved in this operation.

Although he managed to get a significant discount by using his facial recognition, Joe still felt a pang of pain when he saw the shipping bill. However, while looking at the bill with a pounding heart, Joe suddenly had an idea: this military mobilization had cost so much money and involved so many troops.

If I happen to make a movie, I can at least recoup some of my losses.

Even if it's just a promotional video for Wagner, that would be fine.

Just before filming the car chase scene, Joe had managed to find a camera mount to install on the Unyielding, which would keep the camera relatively stable during high-speed filming.

While deciding to make a movie on the side, Joe also developed an unprecedented desire to develop aviation capabilities and organize an air assault team.

If Wagner had a large fleet capable of long-range power projection, it could not only shorten deployment time but also save a lot of money.

After all, as a combat unit, Joe still had to pay allowances to Wagner's soldiers and officers as long as they started operations, even without engaging the enemy.

After adding the resale of aviation power to his to-do list, Joe focused all his energy on the military.

Joe's large-scale relocation of Wagner quickly alarmed many people.

As one of the most important armed forces in the East, although Wagner's troops were few in number, no one dared to underestimate Wagner's fighting power.

The People's Revolutionary Alliance (PRA) forces were the first to react to the start of large-scale training, although Joe did not move his troops close to the border.

But everyone knows that Joe's specialty is surprise attacks; he's the fastest runner in any battle.

Therefore, the People's Revolutionary Alliance strengthened its border defenses. Since few countries in the world recognize the sovereignty of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, the Alliance did not send diplomats to inquire about the reason for Wagner's sudden large-scale mobilization.

Besides the People's Revolutionary Union, Poland also responded to Wagner's large-scale training.

While border troops raised their combat readiness level, Poland also sent diplomats to inquire about the purpose of the sudden large-scale troop mobilization.

Then the Polish diplomats got a reason that seemed a bit outrageous, but upon closer inspection, it made a lot of sense.

Wagner is conducting acclimatization training in preparation for a large-scale, long-range deployment exercise, with the target being the East.

This answer relieved Polande. Oh, so it turns out Old Joe was planning to go to the East to teach those bastards a lesson. He thought Joe was planning to expand the scope of NATO.

Old Joe's answer reassured Poland, but puzzled the Governor of the East of Buntania: Wagner is coming to me? How come I didn't know?
Although the situation here isn't great, these guys who engage in nonviolent non-cooperation—you can stab one person to death with a bayonet, and another person will come and line up to wait for you to come again—don't need Wagner. What's he doing here? Is he going to make my bread more expensive?

In fact, it wasn't just the Governor-General of the East of Brittany who was puzzled, seeing Joe suddenly acting like he was going crazy, placing orders with Rolls-Royce, booking ships to the East, and making large-scale mobilizations of Wagner.

From the War Department to the Cabinet, no one understood what was wrong with Joe.

I wonder what Old Joe is planning to do.

To avoid giving the impression that he intended to march on London, Joe proactively explained to the War Office and the Cabinet that the troop movement was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

After all, Wagner's role was to be a force that always needed to react quickly.

The key to rapid response is speed. If I suddenly order an expeditionary exercise, this kind of exercise without warning can expose Wagner's problems, and then Wagner can improve them.

Moreover, since Wagner was able to quickly deploy to the Far East, the most remote region, it wouldn't be a problem to deploy him to other places as well.

Hearing Old Joe's explanation, although they found it a bit strange, the fact that it was Old Joe who said it made them think that he was indeed reliable. No wonder he was such a good fighter. If they gave Old Joe more time, they wondered what kind of training he could put Wagner into.

Actually, even Old Joe didn't know the answer to this question.

Although the main force was still being mobilized at this time, in order to be able to move quickly through the swampy lands of the Far East.

So Joe still has to wait for Rolls-Royce's batch of six-wheeled trucks and armored vehicles to be delivered.

However, the fact that Wagner's main force cannot be moved does not mean that Wagner's commando unit, which has been trained as a kill squad, cannot be mobilized.

After the success of the two raids in the Low Countries and Helsinki, Joe planned to repeat the same tactic in the East, sending a commando team ahead to scout out the local situation and prepare for the arrival of the main force.

After all, Joe would never want to go beaching if he could.

Isn't it nice to get off the ship at the dock?

Of course, such a large group of people, all of whom are middle-aged men, would attract attention wherever they went.

Therefore, this commando team needed a reason, a reason that could convince others, to be able to infiltrate the Far East.

It would have been very difficult to find such a reason, since the other people weren't stupid. Ordinary reasons wouldn't have been able to explain why such a group of men would travel to the Far East with so many bags and so many people staying there and wandering around.

But Joe came up with a perfect excuse: the group was there to make a movie!
Anyway, the crew members were all veterans of Wagner. Although they might not be as skilled as these commandos who had been trained by the Kill Squad, their combat capabilities should not be underestimated.

At the same time, under the pretext of making movies, they were also able to openly carry weapons and explosives to the Far East.

After all, this is all for the sake of filming.

Although Joe understood that the consequence of his actions would be the strictest scrutiny if he were to go abroad to film again in the future, he decided to let the scrutiny proceed, considering the eighty tons of gold involved.

Anyway, Bonitania is big enough, surely it has a place to shoot movies?
Of course, based on the principle of more work, more pay, and the more others work, the more surplus value Joe can obtain. After arriving in the Far East, this advance team not only surveyed the terrain to prepare for seizing the docks when the troops arrived, but also...

Indeed, some shots need to be filmed.

To shoot a scene, you need storyboards, and to storyboards, you need a script.

Therefore, Joe needs to quickly draft a script for Wagner's expedition.

Just as Old Joe was preparing for Wagner's expedition.

Lieutenant Schwartz, his face bruised and swollen, stood on the dock pondering where he should go.

Because the movie about seeing ghosts was so successful, Lieutenant Schwartz was quickly recognized when he returned to Teutonic.

Then Lieutenant Schwartz discovered that because he had starred in that ghost movie, people back home no longer liked him.

When you go to a beer hall, the waiter will refuse to serve you; when you rent a house, the landlord will kick you out.

Even in Munich, there was a guy with a mustache who, after seeing Schwarz on the street, said that Schwarz playing that role was an insult to the great Teutonic people and that he had to be taught a lesson.

So a group of guys in brown uniforms with red armbands chased him for several blocks with short sticks. Even the patrol officers on the street chose to stand by and do nothing when they saw that he was the one being chased and beaten.

If Lieutenant Schwartz hadn't had the quick thinking to run straight into the police station, he would have been genuinely worried about being beaten to death on the street.

Seeing that he could no longer stay in Teutonic, Lieutenant Schwartz prepared to leave Teutonic by ship again.

However, just as Lieutenant Schwartz boarded the train to leave Teutonic by ship, he was recognized by a group of students on the train.

This time, Lieutenant Schwartz had nowhere to run.

Faced with this group of students, Lieutenant Schwartz fought desperately, taking down three of them before being knocked to the ground.

After the train arrived at the station, Lieutenant Schwartz had no idea how he got to the dock.

With swollen eyes, Lieutenant Schwartz stared at the tickets for sale and began to think.

How did I end up in this situation?

It's because of that unfortunate movie he made.

Ever since filming that unfortunate movie, he's been getting beaten up on set, he's been met with no appreciation at Citibank, and he's been hammered back in Teutonic. It's as if there's no place in the world that can accommodate him anymore.

But since he'll get beaten up no matter where he goes, why doesn't he go to Britannia?
Since you're going to get beaten up anyway, why not choose a place where you can get beaten up but still get paid?

I'm going to Bonitania!
With that thought in mind, Lieutenant Schwartz pulled out a handful of coins and lined them up in front of the ticket window. "I need a ticket to Emerald Isle, as soon as possible."

Soon after, Joe, who was still in London, received a telegram from the Emerald Isle Governor's Office inquiring whether the Teutonic actor Schwartz was still able to receive work telegrams.

After working through two consecutive nights, Joe, with bloodshot eyes, finally finished writing the script outline and was naturally eager to welcome Schwartz back.

After all, as an amateur director, Joe's understanding of movies was only so-so. Basically, it was the same formula: the protagonist appears and introduces his abilities, encounters a crisis and enters an adventure, the villain appears and exudes great power, suffers a slight setback in the first battle, discovers a turning point and begins to study, and finally the protagonist wins the final battle.

In addition, since I'm also shooting a movie on the side and it'll be a promotional video for Wagner, I definitely can't focus on gold.

Promotional videos need to have a human touch.

So which war movie is the most humane?

It has to be the legendary film of the end of the century, Saving Private Ryan.

Imitation is not shameful; what's shameful is imitating poorly.

So Joe slightly modified the script, omitting the mention of gold and changing the plot to say that the Bohemian Legion made outstanding contributions to the establishment of Bohemia, and that it was because of their struggle that the Republic of Bohemia was allowed to become independent at the Versailles Conference.

After the establishment of the Republic of Bohemia, the Bohemian Legion, which fought for the founding of their homeland, was trapped in Russia for various reasons. They could only return home by traveling thousands of miles via the Far Eastern Railway.

They had traveled a long way, but encountered difficulties at Lake Baikal. In order to bring these wandering soldiers and heroes back home, the government of the Republic of Bohemia approached Wagner, hoping that he could lead this wandering army back.

The Wagner Group took on the task and began its journey to the Far East.

Joe's script ends here, because Joe doesn't know what will happen next; he'll just have to film it on set.

Moreover, the main villain this time definitely cannot be the Teutonics, since the Teutonics no longer exist in the Far East, and the military government is a recognized state.

Therefore, the main villain could only fall to the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

It would be good if Schwartz could return and play a crazy People's Revolutionary Union major general or something, which would make up for the fact that the film couldn't actually depict the Lucia left.

Joe then telegraphed back to the Emerald Isle Governor's Office, instructing Schwartz to stay and prepare for filming. However, since the film was still in pre-production, Schwartz would only be paid when filming officially began.

Unfortunately, due to the numerous expenses lately, Joe had to cut back on spending as much as possible, adhering to the principle that every penny counts, and could no longer be as extravagant as before.

However, when it comes to equipment, Joe doesn't skimp on spending money at all.

While waiting for Rolls-Royce's six-wheeled trucks and armored vehicles to be delivered, Joe also placed an order with Diane's gun company, instructing her to produce as many submachine guns as possible before Rolls-Royce delivered them.

Even while busy preparing for the expedition, Joe also had to find time to get married.

There's no way around it. It will take three months just to get to the Far East after completing the preparations. If something happens in between, Joe might not only miss Catherine's due date, but he might even miss Diane's and the others' due dates.

Therefore, in order to prevent the situation of having a child out of wedlock, which is not very respectable, Joe had to marry Kate in advance.

Anyone who has been married knows that preparing for a wedding is a more terrifying thing than going to war.

After all, if something goes wrong on the battlefield, the worst that can happen is death, but if problems arise in wedding preparations, it's definitely worse than death.

Especially while preparing for the wedding, Joe also had to figure out how to deal with several pregnant women.

While Diane was quite open-minded, Catherine, Elena, and Kate were not so open-minded.

Catherine and Elena felt that since I wasn't the bride, I should at least stand as a bridesmaid, and then they would adjust my position and let me wear white, and we could have a group wedding.

When they came up with this idea, Catherine and Elena felt they had already taken a big step back.

After all, they were the ones who arrived first, and for the sake of the family, they had already made concessions and kept silent, not publicizing the matter and ruining everyone's reputation. So they could be considered family.

But Kate doesn't think so.

Yes, you knew each other first, and even before me, but this is my wedding. What's the point of having you all here? Don't I have any friends? Don't I have any dignity?
Fortunately, Kate had a clear understanding of her own strength. When faced with Catherine and Elena Kate's protests, she only used words and did not resort to force, keeping the situation within a mediated range.

Ultimately, after Diane's mediation failed, the ball was passed to Joe. Now, Joe, who is preparing for the expedition, not only has to plan the wedding but also mediate the conflict between these pregnant women.

Faced with this situation, Joe felt for the first time that he might have been indulging himself a little too much.

Compared to physical exhaustion, this mental exhaustion is truly unbearable...

Faced with this problem, Joe decisively sought help from his good friend, wanting to ask him if he had any good ideas.

However, faced with this problem, his good friend said that this time he could only rely on himself, since this was nothing to the planetary governor in the Empire.
