After that, the locomotive changed direction through the main line, and after waiting for about ten minutes, it moved out of Duca Mines.After watching the video, Charlie couldn't help but sigh as he said, "Well, it's a virtually impregnable fortress, what with its central zone built like a prison. With the vast clearings that serve as a buffer, it's very difficult to get in quietly. The only possibility is the train."Merlin nodded and asked the driver a few questions before saying," Apparently, the mines had to improve security because of a case a few years ago—someone once snuck into the factory area, killed a couple of finance staff members, and robbed them of millions."There was another case where precision machinery worth millions was stolen, too, whereas stealing the phosphate carts is almost common. Since most cases like those would be allowed to turn cold, Duca Mines was very upset, so they decided to take matters into their own hands."Charlie chuckled. "What a perfect s

As Merlin finished, he asked the driver to open one of the videos to the moment they wanted to check.Once the driver had done so, he stepped aside respectfully and gestured invitingly to Merlin.The footage showed the locomotive entering Duca Mines' platform. From a distance, it looked just like a barren wasteland, as it was a vast and yellow-white flatland. On both sides of the railroad were a ton of phosphate mining machinery, working rapidly and efficiently.They also noticed something suspicious—the people in Duca Mines weren't just extracting phosphate, but also constructing iron towers at least 20 to 30 meters high.While it looked like a transmission tower, it had a suspicious platform that people could stand on.Judging from the video itself and the number of workers welding the platform, some seven or eight people could stand on it at the same time. And there were at least a dozen towers just like that one, built on various corners of the entire mining area, with several

Most of the employees in the classification yard had already left for the night, and it was empty aside from those loading and unloading the freight trains.In the night, the deputy manager led Charlie and Merlin to a rail check not far from the management office, where the freight train coming from Duca Mines was detached, and the freight carriages would sit there for the night.Charlie stood aside, waiting for the driver to stop before invading his mind and investigating the train manifest.Soon, a train horn was heard in the distance, and a few minutes later, the freight train loaded with phosphate slowly entered the station.The deputy manager had brought his walkie-talkie and barked orders until the train steered into the platform where it was supposed to stop.Dozens of technicians and other workers responsible for detaching the carriages or unloading were already waiting there. Once the train stopped, the technicians worked to decouple the train, while others began to unloa

Charlie was no butcher, just as he was not a cold military strategist who was willing to sacrifice his own forces to ensure a final victory—his conscience wouldn't allow it.Therefore, he wouldn't tip the government unless it was absolutely necessary.Pausing in thought for a while, he turned to Merlin, "Let's think about this from another perspective. If anything, we should feel lucky if there's really cutting-edge security equipment being delivered to Duca Mines—because we've found them before they could install it."Merlin was speechless for a whileWhat Charlie had said made sense, but it was also just Charlie's speculation.And any speculation was just speculation until evidence proved it completely, and operating on mere speculation could prove fatal, as nasty surprises might be in store.Nevertheless, he also didn't need to refute Charlie's speculation at this time. After all, Charlie's speculation was not fully confirmed, and he didn't have anything that refuted it. If he

Charlie wanted to know what items were being delivered to Duca Mines on this occasion.As Merlin quickly asked the deputy manager, but in French, the man promptly passed him the rail schedules for tomorrow.Merlin flipped through the schedule and eventually told Charlie, "It's the third train tomorrow that will be heading to Duca Mines. It has twenty freight carriages containing goods, and six of them have refrigerated compartments. The rest are conventional carriages."In addition, the train is listed under Moore Trading—that's the company which Duca Mines commissions for their imports. That would also mean they are the exporter of Duca Mines' phosphates and assisting them with importing new industrial equipment."Charlie asked, "Is there an inventory? Cargo manifests?""Yes," Merlin nodded. "Beef and miscellaneous US meat products: 120 tons. Dairy products: 40 tons, imported grains… and so on. According to the customs clearance form, the rest are mostly industrial and mining equ

Merlin nodded. "Take us to him."The security guard promptly replied, "Please, follow me."After that, he immediately turned and headed inside as Charlie and Merlin followed him to the second office at the very end of the second floor.As the security guard pointed at the door, Merlin walked up to it and knocked twice."Come in," a voice inside said in French.As Merlin opened the door with Charlie right behind him, the man exclaimed in surprise when he saw them, "Who are you people?"Still, Charlie had reached into his mind even as he finished speaking, and he turned to Merlin and said, "Go on, ask him about the freight management here and Duca's transport records—ideally, their railway usage."Merlin immediately did so, once again speaking in French.The deputy manager promptly gave them the full picture.As it turned out, Duca Mines transported nearly 40 million tons of phosphate every year, of which more than 10 million tons were exported as raw materials. The rest were re
