108 Power Expansion
Luna Brewster's arrival interfered with Gastenth's plan to a certain extent. He and His Highness reported to the prince, saying that he would go back first to prepare for the production of the glory rifle. Prince Eliot did not stop him and hoped that he would start production as soon as possible. So Gastenth bid farewell to Daisy's father, William Richardson, and took an apprentice from the Mage Tower and a great duke to the Elena Plain.
From Ankenry, he arrived at Vannsten, the capital of Ensten Province by steam train, and then transferred to the Elena Plain. Gasten and Luna saw Daisy Brewster waiting at the ferry at first sight. Daisy was obviously surprised when she saw Luna. She looked at Gasten and Luna, and her original high mood suddenly fell down. How could Gasten not see the reason for her depression? He took two steps forward, took Daisy's hand, and pulled her in front of Luna.
"Daisy, this is Luna Brewster, the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, and the Grand Duke of Lona. She found your house and wanted to see you. I discussed it with your father and brought her here."
"Luna Brewster? Have we seen it?" After hearing Gastenth's explanation, Daisy's attitude finally improved a little. She frowned and looked at Luna, her tone was full of strangeness.
"It's me, Lavigil Diddy, you helped me in the Honesty Tavern, do you remember?" Luna reached out and lifted up the skirts on both sides, trying to put on the maid's skirt.
"...That little girl from the Qiao family? Is it you?" Daisy obviously remembered it. After a closer look, she could indeed see the shadow of the Qiao family girl from Luna's face. However, she didn't expect that this girl was so big.
"Yes, it's me," Luna Brewster stepped forward and grabbed Daisy's hand. "I'm now driven out of my house by my parents-in-law, and the wizard tower was taken away by the emperor. I'm homeless. I remember you said at the time that if you need help, you can go to No. 9 Guixiang Road and I will go directly to find you, but I didn't expect to see you here. It's really not easy."
Luna gave too much information at once. Daisy was stunned for a while before she realized that she turned her head and looked at Gastenth, asking him what to do with her eyes. Gastenth shrugged, gave her a look that you could do, and then walked away.
Daisy was very angry at Gastenth's irresponsible behavior, but the guest was still there and she had no room for cushioning, so she had to lead Luna back to the dormitory first and then discuss. Gastenth saw that she accepted Luna, took two steps quickly, and then walked with Luna.
"The Grand Duke of Luonan, Elena is a small place with limited accommodation conditions. Elena town has only three hotels, all of which are average and not expensive. Do you stay in a hotel or—"
"I hope to live with Daisy, or the closer you live, the better," Luna quickly gave the answer.
"this……"
Daisy and Gastenth looked at each other, not a big deal. Now Daisy lives in their newly built four-person room, like everyone else, and lives with three female workers from the factory, doing backstage work such as accounting and paperwork. Can Luna, a big shot, accept that kind of room where four people live together?
"Forget it, I'll give you some special treatment. I'll tell you to everyone in the evening." Gastenth said, "There are still a few houses left empty. Give you one and let them live together. Didn't the lord bring two maids? It's also a four-person room. Let her experience the lives of the lower class people. Maybe she will leave after staying for a few days."
"Um."
Daisy nodded and said goodbye to Gastenth when she was about to arrive in the town. Luna took her two servants and Daisy to Liberate District 1, and found their residence in this brand new, log-smelling community.
"You... usually live in this kind of place?" Luna was completely shocked. This small room was less than 20 square meters, but it contained four single beds and four boxes, full of piles. Although the house was still empty and looked neat, how could this be the treatment that a viscount noble daughter should have?
"Yes, there are no nobles here." Daisy's idea is different from Gastens. She has a good impression of Luna. Although she is a little reckless and inconsistent with the world, she is also a little cute. Moreover, most people in the Elena Plain are now serfs and workers. Nobles like her can be said to be unique. Many times she also hopes to have a companion with a similar background. Luna came at the right time. Daisy decided to let Luna know about Elena and see if it was Elena forcing her away or if she would fall in love with Elena.
"There are no nobles, capitalists and landlords here. Everyone lives in the same place and eats the same things. The managers do not have special treatment. Those who work a lot and make special contributions to industry and agricultural production are eligible for special treatment."
"Those countries like the republic? Like the Negro Republic?" Luna stood at the door, hesitating. Her two maids followed her, silent.
"It's almost the same. If you want to live with me, there's only this kind of place." Daisy still looked indifferent, "Or, you can go back. After all, you are the Grand Duke of Luo Nan. Even if you don't have a fief, there must be a manor in the naming Grand Duke, and you don't lack a place to live."
"No", Luna made up her mind in an instant, "I won't leave, I'm going to stay here."
"Then I hope you can understand another thing," Daisy still smiled. "There are no slaves and no servants here. Your two maids, if you want to live, they cannot serve you, and you have to do all your own things."
"Sir?" Meren was a little panicked when he heard this. If she and Lavigil were not allowed to serve Luna, what was the meaning of their existence?
"I understand." By this time Luna had already had a vague understanding of the place Elena. She thought for a few seconds and asked Daisy a question.
"Is it because you agree with the philosophy here?"
"Well, this is the place we built together, and the concept here is my philosophy."
Although it was not stated clearly, Daisy knew that as the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, Luna knew very well what communism was. Even if the information she disclosed was not sufficient, Luna could definitely see the difference in this land. Will she stay here?
"Well, since I chose you, then live your life, I will stay." Luna focused her head and then turned around, "Melen, Lavigil, you two don't have to serve me from now on, but I will remember your contract and wages, so you can rest assured."
"But... sir?"
Melen and Lavigne both screamed. No longer serving Luna, what can they do?
"Needless to say, I've already thought about it."
Luna was determined, and she looked at Daisy with some anger, as if you had any moves you had. Daisy stopped talking, she stepped forward and gently hugged Luna.
"Along the way, you have been wronged, sister."
It was just a common concern, but Luna suddenly wanted to cry. She didn't resist her thoughts, and gently leaned her head against Daisy's shoulder and started crying quietly.
——————————————
Luna Brewster, the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, was not a big problem for Gastenth. He handed the loser to Daisy, and Gastenth believed that she could handle the matter, so he temporarily put the matter between the two aside. When he returned to the factory, he didn't even eat, so he went to find Gulacos, who was responsible for the production of the factory, took out the design drawings of the Honor rifle that had been studied along the way, and instructed Gulacos. This Honor rifle was very thorough in plagiarism. It even numbered the guns like Elliott rifle, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a counterfeit. For such a thorough counterfeit, Gastenth's factory was effortless to imitate such a thorough counterfeit.
After arranging the production of the rifle, Gastenth had a simple meal and rested for a while. At the Communist Party's Council at night, he briefly introduced Luna's situation and the result of his trip to Roswell, and began to turn the topic in another direction.
"Everyone, how many of you here are all from war like me. The geographical location of the Elena Plain, what do you think if you want to fight?"
This is the first time Gastens has raised questions about Elena's defense. Among the eight party members here, except Daisy, Gulakos and Charlie Harry Warren, everyone else has experience in joining the army. But even so, it is indeed a bit difficult to let these brothers who climbed up from serfs talk about tactics and strategies. Although Ivan and Sink both responded to Gastens's question, Gastens could see that the two answers were purely to avoid a cold situation, and there was not much substantive content.
After discussing this topic for a while, Gastens gave his own answer directly.
"The terrain of the Eilena Plain is not a good terrain suitable for the development of the base. It is surrounded by mountains and can easily defend if it can occupy those key hills and face the enemies who climb the mountain. But if it cannot occupy those hills, the entire Eilena Plain will be exposed to the enemy's vision, which is very unsafe."
"So... are we going to attack those hills? After winning, we can place a reconnaissance point there to serve as a warning and guard, right?"
Ivan was very interested in war and before Gastens finished speaking, he gave his own guess.
"Yes, I haven't fought for a long time, and I'm still looking forward to it. Moreover, the recruits are very enthusiastic about training and have a strong desire to fight."
Binbo Bobluf also inserted it in. In his opinion, these factories and people's livelihood have nothing to do with him. If he wants to go further in this small team, he must let the war prove himself.
"Very good," Gastenth nodded to the two brothers who spoke, "You guessed very accurately. I plan to take down the surrounding hills so that if there is anything in the future, we can maintain better defense. In addition, while taking down these hills, I plan to take down the Luoshan Iron Mine and the Johor Bahru Pyroxene Mine and close to our part of the mining area. What do you think?"
"That means war is going to go?" Binbo Bobluff was excited again. He stood up and looked straight at Gastenth, waiting for his reply.
"It's almost the same, but it's hard to say." Gastens began to talk about his own thoughts, "If you can, you won't fight. These people are our people. The workers in the iron mine factories and the pyroxene vein are all their own comrades. I plan to try to mobilize them. If possible, I don't have to really get angry with the other party."
"oh……"
When Gastenth heard what he said, the party members who were sitting all said, the several party members from the army were obviously depressed. Gastenth couldn't help but feel a little happy when they saw their unconcealed appearance. The execution of the daily council has allowed everyone to no longer hide their emotions, ideas and views on things. This meeting of free speech and truly expressing their wishes made Gastenth feel good.
"But we must also be prepared. If the opponent is disobedient, we cannot let them lead the nose!"
"Oh!!! Boss is so nice!"
"Let's go and liberate them!"
"That's what it should be!"
Several party members from the army were excited and looked at Gastenth with expectations. Gastenth smiled slightly and began to communicate further about controlling the surrounding hills, the iron mines and the pyroxene mines.
——————————
Three days later, Gastens and four company soldiers blocked the gate of Luoshan Iron Mine.
"Major Gastens, what are you doing? We have never delayed the supply of iron ore to you. What do you want to do with so many soldiers?"
Nikola Hardwick, the chief of the Luoshan Iron Mine, led the management of the factory and a large number of workers to block the factory's door. He was trying to communicate with Gastenth to avoid this disaster. At the same time, he also arranged for people to find the Chief Executive of Enspan, Yaro Ross, hoping that Ross would know about this. After all, their family has been growing up with the Ross family, and the Luoshan Iron Mine, which has stable yields and good ore quality, is definitely a fat meat that their family will never let go of.
"I came here to be the one who can manage this factory," Gastenth smiled slightly, still in a careless manner. "The production task has been getting heavier recently. In order to avoid the recurrence of being stuck in the throat like before, I decided to take over the factory. I have already told Lord Yaro Ross about this matter, and he has no objection."
Gastens's words are true. Prince Eliot wrote him a letter, which mentioned the custody of the iron ore mine and the Johor Bahru Pyroxene Mine. Gastens took the time to visit Vannsten two days ago and obtained the permission of Yaro Ross. He took out the letter of Ross that had been prepared and handed it to Nikola Hardwick.
