The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Lucian's explanation made Charlie feel even more puzzled about Vera's identity.

He even had some regrets.

He regretted letting Vera and her grandfather go.

Although in his opinion, he had already used psychological hints on them, so Vera and her grandfather must not have hidden anything from him. However, he had been short of time at the time and had not had enough time and opportunity to ask more questions.

Still, it was too late for regrets now, and he could only ask for as much valuable content as possible from Lucian.

So, Charlie looked at Lucian and continued to interrogate him. "Do you know why the British Lord wanted to capture her? Is it for her as a person or for something she has on her?"

Lucian shook his head. “I'm not sure about this matter, and even my superiors in Turkey are not sure. We only knew that the mission could be assigned to the Right Military Governor Office, so it was a heavenly opportunity. If the mission had been successful, the British Lord would have given us a heavy reward, but unfortunately, it failed in the end."

Charlie knew that Lucian could not be lying, so he asked him, "Do you know where the headquarters of the entire Qing Elimination Society is?"

"I don't know." Lucian shook his head and said, "I have never been to the headquarters at all. I've only been to Hubbert Battalion, but I'm not sure where Hubbert Battalion is."

After saying that, Lucian added, "I don't even know where the exact location of the Right Military Governor Office is in Italy. The organization's isolation of information is very strict. People of a certain level can only know information at the same level. We can't know secrets from a level that's even a little higher."

Charlie could not help but feel a little frustrated. It seemed that the internal organizational structure in the Qing Elimination Society was really too clear, and the internal secrecy system was also too strict.

Lucian was already considered to be the middle to high level of the entire Qing Elimination Society, yet he did not know where the headquarters was nor did he know where the branch he belonged to was located. So, if this continued, Charlie did not know when he would be able to track the source down.

After a moment of silence, Charlie continued to ask him, "What kind of planning and deployment do you have in Turkey?"

Lucian replied, "Turkey is a supply chain specifically for the Cyprus base. The purpose is to ensure the normal operation of the Cyprus base through the import of copper ore produced by the Cyprus base to ensure the secrecy of the Cyprus base, and at the same time, through a reasonable and legal import channel, provide Cyprus with the funds needed to operate. In addition to that, we would use the shipping of copper ore to covertly provide the Cyprus base with the supplies it needs daily, and this cargo ship has two thousand tons of supplies that are to be secretly delivered to the Cyprus base." noveldrama

Charlie asked, "What are the two thousand tons of supplies you mentioned?"

Lucian replied, "There are almost three hundred tons of food and drugs as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition, clothing, and daily necessities. There are also various living materials needed by the dead soldiers such as supplies for the air and water purification equipment in addition to nearly five hundred tons of diesel."

Charlie asked him, “Diesel fuel still needs to be shipped so far from Turkey?"

Lucian explained, "The public thinks that the copper mine only has a few hundred people who work and live there, but in truth, the number of people there is about three to four thousand people. It's not just the huge material expenses and energy consumption that are also very large. The electricity for just three to four thousand people living below the mine is also very large. If we were to purchase electricity from the national grid in Cyprus, the energy consumption would be significantly higher than any other copper mine of the same size. Once there are people who are interested in checking this aspect of the data, they will be able to detect it easily, so the organization wants it to be a requirement for the base not to expose any clues."

With that said, Lucian added, "We sent four large diesel generators from Turkey to the base to fulfill the energy consumption for these three to four thousand people. All their

electricity needs are met through et

diesel power but if the diesel consumption in a copper mine is too large, people will also be suspicious. So, they need all the diesel provided by us. After the cargo ship docks, there is a special pipeline connected to the copper mine to pass the diesel fuel directly through the pipeline to complete the delivery."
