MTL - Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World-Chapter 539 Rebellion Eleven

"You said Chief of Staff Schroeder is not at home? What about other places? Have you looked for it?"

A feeling of panic rushed straight to Bulgan's forehead.

The officer reporting to him spread his hands helplessly.

Bulgan crossed his arms and continued to pace the floor, but his steps were no longer as steady as before.

calm! clam down! Bulgan, you can think of a solution.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his brain.

Wait a minute, it seems that Chief of Staff Schroeder is not in Huxin Town, but it is more beneficial to him. In any case, Schroeder is second only to Paul Greiman in the Alda army. If he does not cooperate with his actions here, no matter what solution he adopts, he will cause certain troubles.

And it would be much better if he wasn't here.

and…

Thinking of this, he immediately took action, "Follow me!"

Bulgan waved to the officer who was coming to report to him.

The two walked out of the office, followed by two subordinates guarding outside. They walked quickly through the wide corridors of the General Staff Building, then up the stairs to the third floor.

The whole building was already under Bulgan's control, so they had no trouble going all the way.

He stopped before a door.

"Break open this door!"

Bulgan gave an order, and the two subordinates who followed him turned sideways and bumped hard with their shoulders.

After several bang bang bangs in a row, the door of the room was knocked open, and several people walked in immediately.

"This is the office of Chief of Staff Schroeder!"

Different from the panic shown just now, Bulgan is almost ecstatic now, with good eyesight, he immediately found what he was looking for.

A round seal quietly stayed in the ink pad box on the desk.

He walked over a few steps, came to the side of the desk, picked up the seal and observed it carefully.

"No mistake, this is the official seal of the General Staff Department. With it, our various actions in the future will be much more convenient."

…

Owen Schroeder, the chief of staff of the Arda army, and his two guards rode all the way. Fortunately, they left before the militia blocked the town of Huxin, and then headed towards the town of Huxin. I rode my horse in the southeast direction for more than three hours, and didn't stop until I encountered a forest.

Schroeder and his guard stopped their horses and let the panting mount rest for a few minutes.

The old knight took out a pistol with a thick and short barrel from his waist, then swung it upwards and pulled the trigger. The pistol didn't make a loud sound like an ordinary musket, but a muffled sound, and then a ball of light emerged from the muzzle, and with a whoosh, the light shot straight into the night sky.

Ascending into the air, the ball of light suddenly exploded with a sound of hitting the ground, and countless bright spots scattered around, like a flower that bloomed in an instant.

Schroeder put away his pistol and silently stared at the dark forest in front of him, only the panting hiss of his mount remained in the air.

In just a few minutes, a few lights suddenly appeared in the depths of the dark forest.

Soon, the light spots became more and more clear, and finally it could be seen that they were several lanterns that were getting closer.

"Which adult is it?"

Several knights sprang out from the dense forest. Under the light of the lanterns, it could be clearly seen that they were all wearing the costumes of Arda's army.

Schroeder replied: "It's me, Owen Schroeder."

"So it's Master Schroeder, are you going to enter Area 51?"

When the leader said the second half of the sentence, there was a bit of anxiety in his tone. After all, he came to this place in the middle of the night, and the majestic chief of staff came in person. Obviously, something very urgent and very important happened.

"I want to see Herman and Claude immediately, and I have something very urgent to discuss with them."

Sure enough, the soldiers who came to greet Schroeder were startled. Something big might have happened in Huxin Town.

"I see, Master Schroeder, please follow us closely with your guards, and you will see them both in half an hour."

Area 51 was originally used to fight against pirates. Paul picked out a hidden place in the forest near Huxin Town, where he trained recruits and formed the first three infantry battalions. Later, with the expansion of the army, it was no longer used for the training of recruits, but for the research and development and manufacture of weapons and equipment—of course, the weapons and equipment here refer to the gunpowder weapons unique to the Arda army. This area was officially named Area 51 by Paul.

Gunpowder weapons are the most confidential things in Arda's army. Paul feels that it is better to hold these things firmly in his own hands before he can gain enough sense of security, so the production of gunpowder and gunpowder weapons is very important. It was carried out in the extremely secret place of Area 51. The people who knew about Area 51 were limited to a few high-ranking members of the Government Administration Council and the military. Those veterans and low-level military officers who had been trained here thought that the training camp had long since been abandoned.

Since Area 51 is a secret base, it is of course very tightly protected. In the woodland connecting Area 51 and the outside area, there are traps everywhere, and they will change every once in a while. It's also the reason why Schroeder needs to wait outside the forest for the people inside to come out to meet him, even he doesn't know how to take the latest safe path.

Of course, Schroeder didn't go to Area 51 for refuge.

Few people know that in addition to the eight battalions on the surface, the Arda Army actually has a ninth battalion. This ninth infantry battalion exists specifically to guard the fifty-first area. When the army was downsized to save money, the infantry battalion remained intact for reasons of secrecy—Paul didn't want transferred soldiers to leak even the slightest bit of information about Area 51.

The purpose of Schroeder coming to Area 51 was to use this infantry battalion to deal with the rebels in Huxin Town.

As for the secrecy...the house was stolen~www.novelbuddy.com~ Obviously counterinsurgency has a higher priority.

Schroeder and his two guards followed the soldiers who led them around in the forest. After about half an hour, the scene ahead suddenly became clear. Under the bright moonlight, a group of buildings the size of a small town appeared before their eyes.

Area 51 is not only a production base for weapons and equipment, but also has the functions of life. All the people who work here, whether they are engineers in charge of research and development, workers in production, or administrative personnel in charge of management and logistics , as well as the officers and soldiers stationed here, and their family members were taken into this secret area—also for the sake of secrecy.

In order to resettle these people, in addition to the military factory, there are also shops, farms, factories and workshops that produce various civilian goods, etc. in the 51st district, and there are even schools. and theater.

As for whether the people inside need to communicate with the outside world... Please, most people in this era have never left the village where they were born.

In short, this is a small town with a certain degree of self-circulation ability located deep in the forest, just like the legendary cities of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War that could not be found on the map.
