People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Shi Huaiya asked.

Lin Gerui raised an eyebrow:

"I know a little bit. What does Wei Yanwu want me to do?"

"No."

Shi Huaiya waved her hand.

"Mr. Ernst invited me."

She pulled out a communicator from her pocket, shook it, and shrugged.

As a port for Yan Kingdom's foreign trade, Longmen has communication coverage in the area near the Longmen Railway.

Otherwise, how would land-based ships, trading fleets, and the like send port entry applications to Lungmen? By shouting them out?

Lin Gerui was somewhat taken aback:

"I've heard that you and Mr. Ernst have been working together. So, your collaboration goes beyond just business?"

Shih Huai-ya shook her head.

"This is all Chen's fault!"

4. She couldn't help but complain:

"Chen, with her reckless nature, actually rode her motorcycle to block Mr. Ernst's land-based warship! She asked Mr. Ernst to uphold justice and forcefully implement her 'Infected Persons Problem Handling Plan'!"

The Rat King's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but let out a scream:

"what?"

Wu Shihuai shrugged.

“Ernst is a guest. How can a guest interfere in the affairs of the host family? Besides, you have to report the infected policy to the imperial court.”

Lin Gerui felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp.

To put it mildly, this is immature and reckless; to put it more seriously, it's espionage, a walking 500,000. Lin Gerui knows Chen's temperament, so he wouldn't doubt that Chen is the latter, but to be honest, if this happened in Baizao, Chen would probably be doomed.

Political struggles don't care if you're a child or not.

Lin Gerui now only hopes that Ernst can help cover it up and protect him. Otherwise, with the Dali Temple about to send people, if this matter gets out, Wei Yanwu will not only be unable to let Chen take over Longmen in the future, but Chen's identity is so sensitive that it would be a relief if he were not recalled to Baizhao!

The most serious offense is imprisonment.

"What did Mr. Ernst say?"

Mr. Ernst did not take on this matter.

Shi Huaiya said,

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to chat with you so calmly."

Chen is also her friend. Although they often use nicknames like "Pink Intestine Dragon" and "Barbecued Pork Cat," they have a very good relationship.

If Chen Zhen had made a mistake, he would have gone to Ernst for help immediately, instead of chatting with Lin Gerui here.

Lin Gerui breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"That's good. Mr. Ernst is still an honest man!"

"But Mr. Ernst felt that this matter was indeed worth addressing."

"Cough cough!"

The Rat King choked on a sharp turn.

"What do you mean?"

"Chen's plan was obtained from Rhodes Island."

Shi Huaiya said,

"Mr. Ernst came this time aboard a Rhodes Island landship. People from Rhodes Island are also here. They want to take over this matter themselves and draft a new set of rules based on the specific circumstances of Lungmen."

"Mr. Ernst would like to ask you for a favor."

Lin Gerui frowned:

"What favors do I need to do for this? If it's just a business transaction, wouldn't it be enough to just ask Wei Yanwu?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuxia's voice came from outside the roller shutter:

"Father, Governor Wei is looking for you."

He said he wanted to temporarily close several streets in the civilian area.

Shih Huai-ya glanced at Lin Ge-rui, who blinked his small eyes and finally smiled with relief:

"It seems that Mr. Ernst's predictions were indeed true."

"I can help with this, but I will also inform Governor Wei. Is that alright?"

Swire shrugged:

"If they didn't say, then it must be possible."

The Rat King nodded and looked towards the door:

"Yuxia, please invite Governor Wei in."

"The situation in Lungmen is very complicated, Doctor. In your current state, are you capable of handling it?"

Kal'tsit asked with some concern.

The Doctor, sitting at his desk deep in thought, looked up at Kal'tsit upon hearing this:

"As long as the information and relationship diagram you provided, Kal'tsit, are correct, then this matter may not be difficult."

"Wei Yanwu's motivation was simply to avoid suspicion, which was his reason for stopping us, but at the same time, it also pointed out the direction in which we should act."

“As long as we keep everything within this framework, he won’t say anything; on the contrary, he will be happy to accept our help.”

Kal'tsit frowned slightly:

"Now that we've made contact with the Rat King, what's next?"

"Next step"

The doctor turned around, looked at the intricate relationships between the characters on the clue wall, and pointed to Chen Huijie's photo.

"Next step, send her back!"

"Miss Chen is a pressure generator. She can't play much of a role on our side, but with Wei Yanwu around, some difficult obstacles and unspeakable issues can be easily resolved!"

Chapter 941 Wei Lao Er: My Blood Pressure is Rising

Among the nations of Terra, Ernst was the most respected.

The welcoming ceremony for him was also the most elaborate.

The Yan Kingdom values ​​the joy of having friends coming from afar. The next morning, Wei Yanwu even chose to "stop at Longmen" to wait for the Rhodes Island land-based ship that was chasing them.

He and Lady Wenyue personally went out of the city, leading the Imperial Guard officers, and waited for Ernst's arrival three miles outside the city.

As for why he personally led the expedition, don't ask.

The answer is that the Guard Bureau currently has no director, and the two officers of the Special Inspectorate who were acting as director have already "taken the lead."

Bathed in the morning sunlight and a still slightly chilly breeze, Wei Yanwu saw the silhouette of Rhodes Island on the distant horizon.

This land-based ship is amazing.

Wei Yanwu had actually investigated Rhodes Island—when Chen first returned to Lungmen with Rhodes Island's "Infected Person Response Plan" and praised it to him, he had his subordinates investigate the company's background.

Surprisingly, it's very clean. There's no criminal record or punishment record. In the early days, it relied on the personal abilities of Dr. Kal'tsit, the head of the ship's medical department, and published academic papers to gain fame in the medical and high-tech circles, but it never really broke out of its circle. Later, Rhodes Island established a relationship with Ernst, and it was only then that it suddenly rose to prominence and officially entered the sights of many countries and emerging international organizations.

It can be said that Rhodes Island bears Ernst's indelible mark, especially after the Londinium incident, which made Rhodes Island even more famous and showed signs of becoming the next "Rhine Labs" to attract worldwide attention.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, except for three suspicious points that made Wei Yanwu particularly suspicious.

First, where did Rhodes Island's landships come from?

There are quite a few civilian organizations and private enterprises on this land that can build small land-based ships. Raytheon Industries, Volvotkoczynski, and even the mercenary organization Blacksteel International all have this capability.

However, Rhodes Island is clearly not a small land-based ship.

Judging from its size, specifications, and publicly available data, this land-based warship can definitely be described as a "large, high-speed warship"!

It just doesn't have any obvious gun turrets installed. In wartime, with a little modification, it can become a high-speed warship!

The control of high-speed warships by various countries is still very strict. Although the control has been relaxed somewhat due to the technological innovation of airships, airships were not even around when Rhodes Island became active!

It's no exaggeration to say that in those days, even a small country like Shelag would have been very likely to attract the attention and even intimidation of neighboring major powers if it wanted to build a high-speed warship for self-defense!

The domineering Victorians could very well send troops directly in to destroy your high-speed warships! There's no reason to ask if the reason "you are suspected of possessing weapons of mass destruction" is sufficient.

The origins of the USS Rhodes Island land-based ship are unknown, which puzzles Wei Yanwu.

Secondly, Rhodes Island's excessively wealthy founding team is completely unlike what one would expect from a company's growth trajectory. Rhine Lab is impressive enough, right? Yet their initial founders were only a handful! Rhodes Island, on the other hand, could field an entire platoon!

Finally, and most importantly.

There's something very wrong with Kal'tsit.

Other countries did not have a history as long as Yan, nor did they have historians as faithful to recording history as Yan. Therefore, the records of the "wise man who foresaw the end times" were not so clear.

O But Yan has a country.

Although Yan Kingdom did not initially participate in the conflicts on Terra, it maintained close attention to the external situation. The Three Kingdoms' coalition against Kazdel was a major event, and Yan Kingdom had records of the commander-in-chief's appearance:

The wise woman who foresaw the end times, named Kal'tsit, was of refined appearance, with exquisite features and a cold, icy demeanor. Her hair, as white as snow, fell to her shoulders, interspersed with touches of emerald green, like the first sprouts of spring grass. She dressed simply, usually draped in a black robe, with a long sword hanging at her waist. Her gait was composed, exuding the air of an ancient sage. Though a woman, her imposing presence commanded respect and dared not be taken lightly!

Well, although she looks a bit different from Kal'tsit and her clothes are completely different, the general descriptions are the same.

On the continent of Terra, the most innocent background often conceals the most unspeakable sordid secrets. He, Wei Yanwu, was like that; he didn't believe Rhodes Island was any different!

What exactly is the relationship between Mr. Ernst and Rhodes Island? What strategy will Rhodes Island employ in its visit to Lungmen? These are all questions that Wei Yanwu needs to consider.

However, before he could come up with a solution, Wen Yue tugged at his arm, and the sound of a motorcycle could be heard not far away.

"Commander Wei! Commander Wei! We're back!"

Upon closer inspection, Wei Yanwu realized that the person who spoke was Hoshiguma.

He snorted coldly, his expression not particularly friendly. Hui Jie was being immature, which was why he had specifically arranged for a reliable person to assist her. But Xing Xiong had actually gone crazy with Chen—what kind of behavior was this!

Seeing this, Hoshiguma could only manage a wry smile.

She wanted to defend herself, but on one side was the stubborn but untouchable Old Chen, and on the other side was the powerful and equally untouchable Wei Yanwu. She was caught in the middle, just like the emperor and the crown prince. She was like a daughter-in-law, suffering from both sides.

Lady Wenyue sighed softly and stepped in to defuse the situation:

“Hoshiguma, you guys acted too rashly this time. Not to mention the wilderness is vast, what if Huijie encounters bandits or robbers on the way and gets hurt? That would be really bad!”

"Let it go this time. Wei Yanwu has already promised me he won't pursue the matter. But next time, if you encounter a similar situation, even if you can't stop Huijie, you should at least report to us first!"

Hoshiguma could only nod:

"clear."

"Where is Huijie?"

Wen Yue asked again.

Hoshiguma quickly said:

"Cough cough, Mr. Chen is on Rhodes Island with Mr. Ernst. He'll be there soon."

Wei Yanwu nodded.

The docking with the land-based ship has begun.

Ernst was the first to disembark, and Wei Yanwu immediately came to greet him, extending his hand and grinning, revealing the most amiable smile an old dragon could imagine.

Putting aside his scheming, his curiosity and admiration for Ernst were genuine.

If he were Ernst's age, he would have been nothing more than a prince in the Hundred Kitchens Palace.

Although there's nothing wrong with being the crown prince, and the prospect of ruling over the vast territory of the Great Yan and the power over hundreds of millions of people is certainly appealing, the glory of being a monarch pales in comparison to what Ernst has accomplished so far.

Not to mention, he later encountered those events. Decades have passed since the Yanwu Palace Coup, but its shadow still looms over his heart, leaving him with few peaceful nights. Now, as the lord of a city in Longmen, he is unworthy of the throne he once came so close to; he seems more like someone who is merely living a life of precarious survival.

He showed a rare genuine sincerity and grasped Ernst's hand:

"Mr. Ernst, I've heard so much about you!"
