Duke of Herrington

Chapter 127 Base station newspaper Steve's 'journey'?
Knowing that the refugees outside Blackwater City had set off, Ted knew he had to leave now!

But he didn't take off the lord's aristocratic uniform, but directly put on the teaching uniform outside~
The original wide design has this advantage. You don’t need to change clothes, you can put on the coat directly, which saves a lot of trouble~
After Ted put on his clothes, he turned to look at Lilia, and said, "Lilia, you are busy here first, if you have anything to do, please use the radio station next to me to contact me~"

As he said that, Ted took out a more advanced 'radio' from the 'Ancient Ruins', that is, a wireless walkie-talkie. Compared with those high-power radios with far-reaching transmission ranges, the effective range of this thing is only a dozen kilometers. To expand the range, it is also necessary to build a corresponding base station.

Although Lilia is very smart, he has been staying at home these days, and he has never even used the old-fashioned radio, let alone this slightly more modern thing!

So, she made a small tactical backward movement, squeezed out a double chin, made a cute version of a puzzled expression, and asked curiously: "Radio. How do I use this thing?"

"This thing is very useful~" After saying this, Ted realized that Chris.
Since this conscientious butler took over the job of the mayor, the valves in his body seem to have been opened, and the more he works, the more vigorous he is!The city can become what it is today, half of the credit is due to his execution and courage!

"Hey~ I almost forgot! Chris, I have something here, you have to take a look, remember, you can use it, don't tell anyone, anyone is not allowed!"

After pulling Chris away, Ted quietly took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, handed it to him, and continued to instruct: "This thing is about 20 years more advanced than the radio we use. If there is something urgent Son, just use it to call me!"

"Uh" Chris played with the 'brick' in his hand, not knowing what Ted wanted to express, in his opinion, this heavy scrap iron can only be used as a brick to smear other people's heads.
"Call directly? Are you sure? My lord?"

Ted nodded solemnly, raised his right hand and opened his palm, and said seriously: "Yes! You don't need to type Morse code, I can hear you directly, but you'd better say it a few times, I don't guarantee that I will be online at any time "

Facing this kind of novelty, Chris has long been familiar with it, and he was shocked for at most five seconds
"Okay, my lord, I have written it down, is there anything else?"

Ted has recently been quietly building his own communication base station, which has not been recorded. He intends to pass the secret file to Chris for him to handle after it is completed.
But since we have reached this point, why not tell him in advance, and save the explanation in the future: "Well, it's okay for you to stay and listen, but I don't know if you have learned the corresponding knowledge."

Chris is most familiar with Ted's way of speaking!In that case, you'd better stay here.He immediately said with a thumbs up: "No problem, my lord! I can listen to it first, and then learn~"

"That's fine," said Ted, who took out a map from somewhere and spread it on the table.

"You two come over and have a look."

"This map was redrawn by observers, and it took about two months. The moon elf cartographer who drew the picture has drawn the map for more than 3000 years, so the proportion of this map is guaranteed! In addition, I provided It can be said that about 520 million square kilometers of land in the northern border are on this map!"

Hearing '520 million square kilometers', Chris raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is our northern territory that big?"

"Two million are snow-capped mountains. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, this is the territory of our Knock Alliance, and the whole continent will return to us sooner or later~" Ted turned to look at Lilia: "Don't worry, when we arrive At that time, the dragons will have food to eat, and our wedding will be a holiday for everyone!"

Such domineering words made the 50-year-old Lilia blush slightly, and stepped on Ted quietly.

"Ahem, keep talking! You can see that the black dots on these maps belong to the communication base station for my own use, and it has already been built! These dark red dots indicate military communication towers, and the light red ones indicate that they are being built. As for These dark green dots represent civilian base stations, and there are currently only two."

Chris didn't have enough knowledge in this area, and he didn't know what the lord was going to do, so he asked Ted, "My lord, what do you mean by doing this?"

Since Chris asked this question, it means that he is not clear about the concept of 'base station', so Ted took advantage of the situation and took out another book from 'Ancient Ruins'
"This doesn't mean anything. It's that these will be built sooner or later. I just selected some excellent workers to help us build the communication network. You can understand it by reading the book "Modern Communication Technology", including our existing The reconnaissance planes are all equipped with high-power communication modules. In the future, the transmission of information will be more important than food."

If the mobile phone is invented, playing with the mobile phone is really more important than eating!
Chris took the book and put it in his ancestral satchel: "Understood, my lord, but why are you rushing to do this?"

At present, Ted does not intend to explain more: "There are three systems in total, civilian, military, and mine. I only want you to know about the ones I use. Don't tell others. As for why I told you, It’s because you use it, and when you finish reading this book, all doubts in your mind will be answered.”

"I see, my lord"

On the military and Ted's dedicated line communicators, there is an inconspicuous knob that can switch from various channels, while for civilian use, there is only civilian use.

Chris understood, and Ted turned to look at Lilia: "Lilia, do you understand?"

The thing in front of her always feels very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere before, and she sees it every day!

After thinking for three seconds, she recalled the glass cabinet at home: "My dear, isn't this exactly the same as what's in the glass cabinet at home? So it's for this?"

"Yes."

Since it's communication and you can talk, doesn't that mean that you can 'meh da' with Ted at any time? "That means I can chat with you anytime?"

At the beginning of the establishment of the channel, it was for Ted to contact his family conveniently, but it was too selfish to do so, but there was nothing he could do?
Only, when Ted recalled that he seemed to be the 'lord', he shook off this burden
Building something yourself with your own money?Why should you feel selfish?

It's just that Ted has long been used to standing up and down, and he always puts a reasonable and correct label on his behavior: "I didn't say no, but the content of the chat will be heard by everyone on this private channel." To, and this channel, we will also have work needs."

Lilia tactically ignored the latter sentence, and asked directly, "Who is listening?"

"The errand will be the temporary correspondent, but after eight o'clock tonight, the authority will be handed over to Alice, because the family has recently recruited a lot of maids, and her workload has decreased again, so she wants to find something to do. "

"So that means, this is our home line?"

"Well, this special line is mainly used by us, and it will also be used for work."

Speaking of this, Ted's meaning is already obvious, life is more important than work, and Chris doesn't want to hear their "tiger and wolf words" or voices full of philosophy when they connect to the channel.

So he wisely took out the walkie-talkie again and put it on the table: "My lord, I'd better use your military line."

"Alright." With that said, Ted changed the walkie-talkie for Chris.

"This is for military use. There are a total of 10 channels. The channels that can be accessed are different depending on the authority. At present, there is no specified use for number 0, so let's use it as the channel for you to contact me."

It is said to be for military use, but it is not widely used in the army except for the 'Iron Shield' troops who went to escort Steve to report.
Because the base station has not been built yet, the equipment can only rely on the system store, and Ted has no money to buy in large quantities for the time being.

"No problem!" Holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, Chris asked, "My lord, then I'll go to work first?"

"Go."

When there were only two people left in the office, Ted hugged Lilia from behind and told him, "Lilia, if it's okay, don't use it now. If you have to use it, use it after eight o'clock tonight."

"Hee hee~ No problem!"

This special line has been set up, but the technicians are still maintaining it!Ted can't use it all he wants yet!

"Hey, this is not easy to handle. Why don't you find more wives some other day, let them study hard, and then help me deal with the problem after they understand it, so that you don't have to worry about outsiders!"

This idea is indeed very 'constructive', but Ted's wives also have things to do, if they want to engage in other projects, they have to find a few more wives.
"Lilia, I have to deal with the 'Sun God Cult'! Happy work?"

"Go, go, I'm not a child."

After dealing with the matter here, Ted took the guards to the outside of the city, and set off for the newly built farm with a group of well-prepared actors.

buggy
"My lord, your newspaper! This is today's official edition. It is said that the editors temporarily changed some content yesterday."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Ted originally planned to drive an off-road vehicle by himself, but...according to etiquette and rules, Ted was not allowed to drive by himself!
He had to be accompanied by a driver and a bodyguard to go out.
This is still a configuration for private visits on Weibo, provided that Ted wears body armor and self-defense weapons
If you go out of the city and go to a place other than the alliance territory, you have to bring at least one guard company before you can set off.

"Hey, I'm just an earl now. If I get a higher position in the future, or become the president, wouldn't I have to travel like Qin Shihuang every time I go out?"

Tucao is Tucao, he himself feels at ease with such a configuration, especially this powerful off-road vehicle under his buttocks!It is one level stronger than the old American military Hummer!
For the sake of safety, Ted will not choose vehicles other than off-road vehicles or armored vehicles as a means of travel.

First of all, the gorgeous and exaggerated appearance of a sports car is not suitable for formal places, nor does it conform to one's own identity.

And army camouflage off-road vehicles can appear in any place~
Besides, Ted didn't want to sit in a convertible and have his mind blown.

How stupid a leader must be to choose such an arrogant way of travel?
In the co-pilot position of the off-road vehicle, in order to let Ted receive the items in his hand without any danger, the bodyguard checked every page of the newspaper.
"Ahem, my lord! There is no hidden poison in the newspaper, so you can watch it with confidence."

Ted covered his face and rolled his eyes helplessly: "Hey! You two are almost done! I am not a tyrant! The people love me very much!"

It is true that the lord is loved, but there are always surprises in everything: "That said, but..."

Ted raised an eyebrow and asked for confirmation: "Yes?"

"But am I afraid of sneaking in with spies?"

I thought this loyal bodyguard would say some real threat, but unexpectedly it was just a conspiracy theory
"You two don't need to be so nervous, I'm not that easy to be killed, as long as you do your work normally, I'll be fine!"

The bodyguard gave a thumbs up with a smile, showing a steel tooth and assured: "No problem, my lord, next time we will bring a moon elf warrior with good ears and eyes as a warning, so you can rest assured!"

"Hey" Ted took the newspaper, shook his head and didn't know how to answer
Just when he was about to calm down the surrounding atmosphere, a line of big characters on the newspaper almost made him choke his saliva into his lungs!

【Shock!Men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it!Don't look at people from the north! 】

"Damn it! Who came up with this headline? Just a few days after the newspaper was opened, they started the routine of the shock department? But it's quite powerful, and this method can really attract people's attention."

I thought. This news is some big news, or a moving story of 'moving the Northland'!

But the more he looked back, the more Ted felt that something was wrong.
This TM is not emotional or tearful news at all!It is a traditional delicacy in the north, stir-fried beef with onions.
"It's true that there's nothing wrong with saying something that makes people cry in silence? This group of people is really good enough."

I thought it was just a shocking ceiling, but Ted never expected that there would be even more outrageous things behind.
[Shock the North!As of noon yesterday, a family of 28 had been wiped out, but all the neighbors applauded! 】

Such a headline makes it hard not to let people's imagination run wild. When Ted was about to read on, he wanted to immediately call the radio station and scold the people in the newsroom.

"The eradication of rats in the northern border is going well. Mayor Chris came to the scene to wear medals for the firefighters and celebrate the eradication of rats in the northern border."

"I'm convinced. This group of people is indeed a bit talented in some aspects, but it's a bit too much."

"I don't know if there is any more normal news?"

[Love is cool for a while, and love is over in the crematorium]

"You seem to be right about the story of Romeo and Juliet, but there is nothing wrong with changing it to the Titanic"

After just 10 minutes of watching it, Ted got tired of this kind of headline with big words and eye-catching headlines.

If someone with a bad heart looks at it, it is estimated that they will be shocked in a while!

After that, Ted simply skipped all the articles with the word 'shock' and picked only those with serious headlines that didn't shock.

For example, what new inventions have been made in the city, and what new policies have been introduced.
But these contents do not take up much space, because most people have only just learned the alphabet and can only barely read the contents.

Compared with these serious news, everyone prefers simple, easy-to-understand funny articles or recipes
Thinking about it this way, the people in the Ministry of Information really treat the public very carefully, and use this method to help them learn.

"What do you think of the newspaper?"

"I think it's very good! It's also very interesting. Since your lord has stipulated a rest day, we will be free on weekends and don't know what to do for entertainment. After the newspaper comes out, it just makes up for it!"

"Yeah! Talk about the content, before you know it, it's time to go to work, and you can study happily again"

"That's alright"

300 kilometers away, Steve was sitting in a hard carriage, feeling uncomfortable all over!

After staying in the northern border for so long, once I came to the interior of the empire, I felt that the air outside was filthy. It seemed that I would eat 2 catties of shit with every breath I took.

"Hey, as Ted said, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!"

In order not to let others suspect, Steve hasn't taken a shower or brushed his teeth since the few days before departure!

Such a 'smelly' man would be disgusted by any woman!
Fragrant and soft Vadina didn't even put him to bed!In order to respect his wife, Steve, as a prince, dealt with it on the sofa for three days.

Watching the forest outside getting denser and denser, Steve asked casually, "Where are we? Brother!"

This appellation is a manifestation of being close to the people in the northern border!But now it's in the empire!In this way, if people with ulterior motives hear it, the problem will be serious: "Hey! Your Highness, pay attention to your address! This is not the northern border, you have to be majestic! At least... put on a show!"

Steve has gotten used to the casual look, and it's hard to be serious again: "Go fuck majestic! Anyway, there's no one else around, it's tiring to be a prince, and you have to use different words when you can clearly explain things with a few words." Say it three times."

After complaining about the mountains of rules in the empire, Steve felt thirsty and sleepy, so he reluctantly took out a plastic bottle from under the seat
It was cold coffee made with Vadina's footwash water, the only way to remember the happy times not so long ago on such a boring journey.

After gulping down the coffee in the bottle, Steve slumped on his seat and sighed.
"Hey"

suddenly!

'Cuckoo! 'The sound came.

Steve woke up instantly. He took out the P90 from the side of his body to prepare for battle. Then, he immediately knocked on the carriage door!

About three years ago, when Steve was going to the toilet, he accidentally overheard his brother Andy's "special signal"!
This cry similar to 'owl' is the symbol of the great prince Andy

"Brothers, pay attention, the voice just now was my elder brother's signal, I have a bad feeling! Get ready for battle!"

At the same time, there was a message from Steve's watch and the advanced communicator of the captain of the guard.

"Call the Iron Shield 'Transportation Team'. This is Detective No. 5. It has detected movement in the jungle 8 kilometers in front of you. According to observations, the number of enemies is about 1000. The visitors are not good! Please be careful!"

In the northern border, every important task will have a corresponding code name, and the same is true for escorting Steve back to the imperial capital to report on his duties this time, and this escort team has naturally become a 'transportation team'.

At the same time, Iron Shield is also the name of this unit. From then on, Iron Shield will become synonymous with 'escort' in the northern border.

As soon as this news came out, Steve's heart turned cold. He had fantasies about his two older brothers, thinking that they would be good people.

But at this moment, all illusions are shattered!The second brother's methods are even more ruthless than the eldest brother!If the eldest brother makes the first move, it means that more severe checkpoints are behind!
"Brother, my big brother Andy is going to kill me! Is there a way?"

Steve thought that the journey would be smooth, at least he would be safe and sound until he arrived at the imperial capital, but he never expected that his brothers' food looks so ugly?Take your own life so early?

Outside the carriage, Iron Shield replied to the reconnaissance plane hovering above the walkie-talkie: "I received it, what is the configuration of the equipment on the opposite side? Can you see it clearly?"

"It's hard, but I'll try my best!"

Half a minute later, a message came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "According to observation, there are only ordinary soldiers, and there are not a lot of heavy armored soldiers. Wait. What is the operation of most of these unarmored soldiers? I don't understand."

People in the north don't know the customs in the empire, let alone what role unarmored soldiers can play on the battlefield?
But Steve knows!Most of the unarmored or lightly armored soldiers will charge at the forefront as dead soldiers!Instead of fighting in legions like heavy armor!
These dead soldiers fought by surprise, mainly relying on ambush to win!After a wave of arrow rain, he rushed up to mow the grass with killing skills.

Steve shook his head, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Unarmored soldier? I'm afraid it's not a dead soldier.!?"

Captain 'Iron Shield' heard this, touched his chin and shook his head: "Dead man? No armor? That's a bit difficult."

Inside the carriage, Steve heard 'a bit difficult', and his heart sank again. He opened the curtain and confirmed, "Aren't you all very good? Why is it still a bit difficult?"

The captain shook his head and raised his weapon to express his helplessness: "Of course it is difficult! They don't wear armor, and we use weapons to hit them twice and they will be broken into pieces. It is very difficult to clean the battlefield! Bloodstains will definitely leave traces of combat, so it is not suitable for hiding your whereabouts."

After knowing the specific meaning of the captain, Steve was relieved: "Ah? You mean that."

The captain didn't understand why Steve had such a reaction?The weapon in hand, 120 P90s, fires 6000 rounds of ammunition in salvo, and shoots them out in a few seconds. The enemy's intensive charge is courting death.
"Ahem, what do you think we mean? Do you think we are afraid of such a group of enemies with big knives?"

It seems reasonable to say that, and besides, I already know the enemy's intentions and numbers, so I can't say it is handy to deal with it, and it should be 'no pressure'.

"That's right, do we have enough ammunition?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, in addition to the ammunition we carry, there are still a lot of ammunition supplies! If the ammunition is exhausted, just tell the reconnaissance plane above and let him airdrop a few tons to us!"

The captain opened his fur coat and showed the magazines hanging inside the coat.
From Steve's perspective, at least 20.
"Your Highness, to put it bluntly, we have dug a good position and can fight a legion without losing the wind! Besides, as long as our guns are fired, the enemy will collapse after 2% of the enemy's fall."

"Even if we are not good enough to fight against, the plane will pick us up!"

Flying in the sky is convenient, and it only takes a few hours to go back and forth with Valentine and the transport team.

Looking at the black dots in the sky, Steve sighed and joked, "Since the plane is so convenient, why not just let Ted's special forces arrest my elder brother and second brother!"

It's easy to say, but in the real world, the effect of the silencer is basically zero in close-range firefights. As soon as the fire is fired, all enemy soldiers will hear the sound and come over.

"This... Your Highness, this is a bit difficult, because as soon as we open fire, the whole city will come! We can only kill all those who stand in our way! There is no need for such excessive violence, and Earl Herrington's The concept does not match”

After getting a negative answer, Steve still didn't give up. He questioned: "It's true. But. Could it be that this method really doesn't work at all?"

After asking such a question, the captain thought a little bit based on what he had learned, and came up with an answer: "Your Highness, what you said, unless you know the exact location of the First Prince or the Second Prince, and also know their whereabouts! Finally, We can take advantage of the thunderstorm to cover up the sound, so we can act."

Upon hearing the thunderstorm, Steve rolled his eyes and sighed, "Thunderstorm. At least we have to wait until June or July."

"So! You should report on your duties well and try to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible! In addition, we have already sent people to your wife and son! After they receive the information, they will be quietly taken back to the northern border by our reconnaissance plane .”

"Hey! Then don't forget to ask Ted to arrange them."

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness! They will stay with you in the newly built welcome building. The small villa you and Ms. Wazina belong to is a private residence in the north. Except for the high-level officials of the city hall, other people have no right to intervene, and the residential area, Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

Knowing that his extramarital affairs will not be discovered, Steve has one less thing on his mind: "It seems that Ted is very thoughtful!"

"Our lord is thoughtful, even this escort is the same. Like a few days ago, the newly completed plane joined our operation! If there is any accident, we can leave immediately by plane~"

"You mean, I haven't been on a plane yet! I also want to experience the feeling of being in the sky!"

"But now we have to continue to put on a show, and we can't let others discover our flaws~"

"Yeah. I'll talk about it later, eh, yes, I haven't said how to deal with the enemy yet!" Although the enemy is eight kilometers away from me, I can think of countermeasures early so that I won't panic when dealing with it!
After thinking about it, the captain came up with a suitable idea: "His Royal Highness, I think we can stop the team and wait for the opponent to deliver! Because they are waiting for work, but we have to work hard, so we are at a disadvantage! Even if we have hot weapons that can instantly kill the opponent, You can't be careless!"

Such an answer sounds very reassuring, at least better than the method I came up with: "You are right, but what should we do if they come to attack at night?"

"Your Highness, your night vision device is the latest model, and we also have it, but it is the last version model, which cannot accept the strong light of more than 5000 lumens."

"What are lumens?"

"Eh, it's a very bright flashlight. We don't need to worry about it, because in this world, the enemy will not have such a dazzling light for the time being. Simply put, your night vision device has an eye protection function, and our protection is not so strong. The same goes for headphones, but in this day and age, it's more than enough!"

Since this method can minimize casualties, it is better to do this: "Then, if this is the case, do as you say! Let's wait for the rabbit, let them come to us!"

"Okay!" With Steve's permission, the 'Iron Shield' delivery team built fortifications on the spot and pretended to be cooking lunch.
