Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 120: Glory of the Republic
Luke couldn't help but sigh that Mrs. Michelle was really a woman with very strong political ambitions, and her ability to seize opportunities was also admirable.
At the same time, I am very clear about my areas of expertise.
Shape the Elf Qingkong into a city hero, or further package her into a national goddess with super high popularity. The force and influence of the Elf Qingkong are added to her, which greatly improves her status.
In the major changes in the redistribution of power in Nutao City, this will undoubtedly put her in a very good position.
As for Luke...
It would definitely be a good thing to be able to clear Qingkong's name. After all, carrying a bounty of 1 billion Reichsmarks is just bragging, and there is no practical benefit. Unless Luke is willing to pull out another criminal group under Qingkong's identity.
But I really don't have the energy.
Once Qingkong is whitewashed, he can move around openly without having to be on guard against bounty hunters all the time.
However, the progress on the main body's side has been a bit too slow, and is being dragged forward by events.
For Qingkong, it’s not a matter of super span, it’s a matter of cross-version.
Can it stay stable?
Luke felt a little guilty, but it smelled so good!
"Ma'am, let me make it clear in advance that I don't have that much time to act with you."
"I understand that you don't need to show up in public too often. Only mystery can make people crazy about you. Leave the rest to me..."
From the perspective of Mrs. Michelle's interests, she doesn't need Qingkong to appear in public too often. She needs the halo that Qingkong gives her, but if the halo is too bright, she will be illuminated by it.
Luke considered the pros and cons of his choice.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what Qingkong does, so I'd better clean myself up first and move freely before thinking about the future.
"Well... that's interesting. I agree to this cooperation, Mrs. Hill."
"Thank you Miss Clear Sky."
Luke clinked glasses with Mrs. Michelle, and an idol group was officially formed.
After drinking a cup of tea, Mrs. Michelle said to Luke: "Virgil's operation against the Cape District should have begun. If you can go to the Cape District to support the Secret Service, it will be convenient for me to communicate with Inspector Meteorite tomorrow.
To add charges to Virgil, we need the cooperation of Inspector Meteorite."
Luke had originally planned to go to the Cape District to see what was going on there after this meeting.
This time we have an excuse to publicly support the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
"I also want to go see the disciples I accepted. But since this is your request, I will go to the Cape District... Let's end our meeting here today. I am looking forward to the changes in this city tomorrow."
Luke stood up and was about to leave, but Mrs. Michelle stopped her.
"A city hero should appear in a city hero's way. Your customized steam locomotive has been assembled. It's right below. I'll take you to see it."
"So fast?" Luke was a little surprised at the speed of locomotive assembly.
Michelle took Luke downstairs and said with a smile, "This is a steam locomotive customized by Miss Qingkong. Of course, we did our best to make it. And it's not a difficult job for my husband."
It’s not difficult to learn. It’s made by . Luke is very much looking forward to his steam locomotive.
Downstairs, Wen Lisa had pushed the steam locomotive from the warehouse to the hall.
The body is red.
The most eye-catching thing is the two large and exaggerated wheels at the front and back. The wheels are 30 centimeters wide, allowing this steam locomotive to stand steadily without any support.
The length of the car body should reach 2.4 meters. The body is wrapped with red curved steel plates, and there are two exhaust pipes on each side of the wheel behind the rear end.
The round headlights and the densely packed pipes in the gaps of the car body fully demonstrate the rough style of steam technology.
"Very beautiful." Luke walked around the steam locomotive and couldn't help but sigh: "It's exactly as I imagined. No... the details are better. I like this waistline very much. It looks top-heavy and tail-light, which is very impactful."
Steam locomotives are a major feature of the Anno game.
Owning a steam locomotive with both good appearance and performance is the pursuit of all players in the game.
Luke has several steam locomotives in his collection, but they are all kept in a warehouse.
Now that she had a steam locomotive again, she sat on it without hesitation, leaned forward, grasped the handle with both hands, and started the engine.
The power responds instantly, white steam is discharged from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car, and the sound of the engine is full of power.
marvelous!
Experience has taught Luke that this is a good car!
Seeing the performance of the Elf Qingkong, Mrs. Michelle knew that she really liked this car, and this was just giving her what she wanted.
"Ms. Qingkong. Time is tight, and we can only make this car this far. But we still have a long time to cooperate , and we can slowly upgrade this car. I think many new technologies in our laboratory can be added to this steam locomotive.
Do you like red? If not, I can have it repainted.”
Chinese red...Luke likes it very much.
"No need to change. I like this car very much. It just appeared just for me. Can I drive it out now?"
Mrs. Michelle asked Wen Lisa to open the shop door.
"Of course, it belongs to you. Give it a name, and then let this city see the beauty of the elven sky."
"Name? It's called the Glory of the Republic."
Luke turned the boost valve on the right handlebar and stepped on the clutch. The forward momentum pushed the front wheel of the steam locomotive up. Luke pressed down the front of the locomotive, and the whole locomotive roared and rushed out of the store door with white smoke.
Drift out, turn the car sideways, and then speed away along the road.
Mrs. Michelle walked out the door and looked at the disappeared figure of the elf clear sky and the trail of steam spreading on the road.
Muttering the name given to the steam locomotive by the elf Clear Sky.
"The Glory of the Republic... The Republic, who is she?"
Republic is an idea that has emerged in this era of rapid development, and some countries abroad have already implemented a republican system.
The current parliament of Raging Waves City was established under the influence of republican ideas from the outside world, which was obviously a challenge to the imperial system of the Golden Shield Empire. However, the royal family, which had been challenged by the Blade Brotherhood for a long time, seemed to have a strong ability to accept new challenges.
Therefore, the royal family adapted to this era faster than the old-fashioned aristocrats.
The current Nutao City is a representative example.
But the city ultimately belongs to the empire.
The elf Clear Sky named her steam locomotive "Glory of the Republic", which is basically her political stance taped to her forehead.
At this moment, Madame Michel felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
You can use the clear sky to increase your political capital in the future, but you can't use it recklessly. You must keep a good sense of distance, otherwise you will fall flat on your face.
Mrs. Michel's originally happy heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
