For Fangzheng, the attack on the Guerrilla Association of the Empire had nothing to do with him.
But there was something else that was more serious.
"… You mean the ship is missing?"
Fangzheng frowned at the forger in front of him. The latter nodded.
"That's right. We received news that the ship responsible for transporting the optical krypton machine parts went missing in the Perth area. We don't know where it went."
"A ship can go missing too? It didn't crash, did it? "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng was taken aback. As Libel was a mountainous country, it wasn't like the Republic or the Empire, which mainly relied on railways for transportation. Instead, it mainly relied on airships for transportation.
"The military has searched the area, but they didn't find any signs of an airship crash. It seems likely that it was hijacked. The military has issued an air ban in the Perth area, but there are still no clues so far. "
"I see …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
"Is that batch of parts very important?"
"It's an order from the Empire. If everything went well, it would have been delivered in three months. The core parts provided by Starlight Technology are also among them."
No wonder the military was so nervous. If it was just a hijacking of an airship, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this airship had optical krypton machine parts on it. Although Fangzheng was sure that these guys didn't have the core manufacturing technology and the parts were useless, attacking an airship with optical krypton machine parts was a very serious matter in itself.
"Anyway, I'm just informing you. I hope you'll be careful. We don't know if the other party is after the optical krypton machine. They may also attack Starlight Technology. The royal army is doing their best to ensure the safety of the Chase area, so there shouldn't be a problem here. "
"I see."
After receiving the news from Forger Madoc, Fangzheng returned home, gathered the little girls, and told them what happened.
"Something like that happened?"
Ling was rather surprised to hear this, while Tio furrowed his brows and remained silent.
"What do you think, Master?"
Angie silently poured a cup of tea for Fangzheng and asked.
"At the moment, we don't know what's going on. We only know that according to Master Madoc's explanation, the scheduled ship that was supposed to arrive on time didn't arrive at the port. At first, the staff thought it was a delay, but after communicating with the other party, there was still no reply, so they hurriedly reported it. At first, the military considered it as an accident, but they didn't find any wreckage after following the route, so they judged it as missing. Of course, for now, it's more likely that they were captured. "
Fangzheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before continuing.
"If that's the case, there are two possibilities. One is that someone disguised themselves as a passenger and sneaked onto the ship. Then, they suddenly attacked the others and gained control of the ship."
After all, the current security measures in this world were not very strict. Fangzheng had also taken a scheduled ship before. There were no security measures like body searches or luggage checks in modern airports. It was the same as taking a ship. One could board the ship after checking the ticket. Under such circumstances, it was not impossible for any organization or force to hijack a scheduled ship.
"What's the other possibility?"
Ennaia looked at Fangzheng and asked curiously.
"That is, the other party hijacked the scheduled ship through an armed airship. If that's the case, it's very likely the work of other countries. The purpose is likely to be to steal our core components and the design data of the optical krypton machine. After all, not just anyone can build an airship. Ordinary criminal organizations don't have the ability to build and maintain one. So, if something like this happened, it's very likely that the countries that have the ability to build airships did it on purpose. "
Having said that, Fangzheng finished the tea in his cup and stood up.
"If that's the case, those guys won't be stupid enough to send their own soldiers. They'll probably hire hunting groups. So … Fey."
"Yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Fey stood up.
"Come with me to Perth. It won't be that easy to run away after stealing my stuff. Ennaia, Angie, Ling, Teo, you're responsible for the safety of the workshop. Ennaia, I'll leave a group of Xenomorphs here for you to command. If anyone dares to break in, kill them. "
"Understood, sir."
Fangzheng had always been a decisive person. After making the decision, he went to Starlight Technology, greeted Towa, and told her about the recent events. At the same time, he asked her to report any suspicious personnel in the company immediately. Towa naturally nodded in agreement to Fangzheng's request. Then, Fangzheng drove the car and left Chase for Perth with Fey.
Compared to Chase, the current atmosphere and situation in Perth was indeed quite serious and tense. Along the way, not only did the soldiers set up a tight blockade, they even stopped the scheduled ships from sailing back and forth, causing the prices of goods here to rise sharply. It could be seen that the disappearance of the airship carrying the core components was indeed a huge problem for the Libel royal family.
Because the military was currently leading the investigation, Fangzheng went directly to Haken Gate and met General Morgan again.
"How embarrassing, Mr. Fangzheng."
General Morgan was a little speechless as he looked at Fangzheng.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen in Perth. If I knew this, I would've thought of a way to strengthen the security of the scheduled ships …."
"It's indeed a little careless, but for now, these problems can be discussed later."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Starlight Technology will also participate in the investigation, so if possible, can you explain the current progress of the military's investigation?"
"Well, of course. Then …."
"Knock knock."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and a soldier walked in.
"General, there's a messenger from Mayor Maybell who wants to see you."
"Oh? Miss Maybell? "
General Morgan nodded when he heard the report.
"Alright, tell them to come see me."
"Yes."
After giving the order to the soldier, General Morgan looked at Fangzheng again.
"As you know, we haven't received any reports or clues about the airship crash, so it's more likely that it was hijacked. That's why we've conducted a strict intelligence blockade on the empire. Currently, only a few people know about this …. Hmm, I'm sorry, may I ask who the girl behind you is …."
General Morgan looked at Fey in confusion, while Fangzheng chuckled.
"She's my assistant. Don't be fooled by her appearance, she's a very aggressive kitten."
"Is that so …."
General Morgan looked at Fey carefully, then nodded.
"But fortunately, this possibility has been dispelled for now. Because a certain organization has issued a criminal statement to the Royal Airship Commune and asked for a ransom for the passengers. "
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"They're not asking for a ransom for the core components of the optical krypton machine, but for the passengers?"
"Yes …. That's a relief for us."
General Morgan nodded. After all, if the other party was just air pirates, things would be much simpler. Compared to other countries who schemed to seize the core components of the optical krypton machine, it was easier to deal with a stupid criminal organization that hijacked the machine and asked for a ransom.
"What about the military's attitude?"
"We still need to think about how to deal with it. Although the other party said they're asking for a ransom, it might be a smokescreen …. In short, everything is still under investigation, but we still have to prioritize human lives."
"I understand."
Upon hearing the general's reply, Fangzheng nodded.
"Then we'll look forward to the military's efforts …. Fey, let's go."
"Okay."
Then, Fangzheng left the office with Fey. In the corridor, Fey looked at Fangzheng in confusion.
"Are we going to stop just like that?"
"Of course not. We have to find those idiots as soon as possible."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"Let's not talk about whether these air pirates really exist. If they're stupid enough to come and ask for a ransom, other countries might see this as an opportunity. If they sent a team to kill the space pirates and then steal the core components, then there was really no way to think about it. I don't know if those guys have the guts to do it, but at least we can't let our own things fall into the hands of others. In any case, we have to continue. "
"Yes."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's reply, Fey heaved a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. But at that moment, they saw three young people coming from the opposite direction. One of them was a girl, the other was a woman dressed coquettishly, and the last one was a black-haired boy. They were led by a soldier to General Morgan's door. They knocked on the door and went in. As for Fangzheng, he watched their backs disappear before retracting his gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Um …. I think that girl looks a little familiar."
"…. Teo told me that this kind of pick-up line isn't popular on the streets anymore."
"No, I really think she looks a little familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere before …. Forget it."
Noticing Fey's slightly dissatisfied gaze, Fangzheng shook his head.
"Let's go."
With that, the two of them walked forward again. However, at this moment, from General Morgan's office behind them, a furious roar that sounded like a lion's roar could be heard.
"Shut up! Do you want me to let you off? Guards!! "
"What the f * ck."
Upon hearing the sudden roar, Fangzheng jumped in fright as well. They turned their heads and saw two soldiers rush over before rushing into the room.
A moment later, the three of them, two women and one man, were driven out of the office by the soldiers.
