In the same building, Harry was discussing collaboration with a maid representative from Shireck, Sofia.
The maid, her tone icy, emphasized as she stared at the unruffled Harry, "We've already expressed our sincerity, you know. The latest batch of Shireck Type 1 rifles has been delivered entirely to the orcs, just as you requested!"
Indeed, those rifles came from Shireck and did not belong to the Great Tang Group, leaving the Poplar Kingdom with no avenue to trace the origin of these firearms.
Even if they knew Shireck was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes, they could not implicate the Great Tang Group—for outwardly, the two seemed to be at loggerheads, with no apparent connection.
It could even be said that the weapons produced by both sides were not of the same kind, employing entirely different designs for firearms...
For Shireck was now mass-producing the 1888 Committee rifles, an outdated German metallic cartridge bolt-action rifle initially sold to Huaxia.
