Posts from Mafia 110. Heckelia Auto-translated

Several months had passed since the visit to El Ragna, which left Zhuge Liang with a bad taste in his mouth – and although it wasn't the result of him accidentally getting drunk on his "special" tea, this feeling would stay with him for a long time. The mission assigned to him by the leadership of the Shengkai Republic was completed, but only partially: the republic gained access to the technologies of Chinax and his team, but failed to monopolize them. The operation in Heckeklia failed from the very beginning: some random, insignificant, and mentally unstable psychopath shot their ally, Rafagu, and when their best warrior, Shiyuan, went to deal with him, they both perished in an explosion. But the worst thing was that their special agent, Zhen Lo, lost her charm and was no longer capable of performing the tasks assigned to her, which is why Liang had to use her as a bargaining chip, because achieving the desired result with a living Chinax Weiling was impossible. Liang himself could not finish what he had started, which is why he subsequently had to agree to cooperate with a certain Inar Anluki. Anluki was good at his job and helped Liang implement his plans, but since the intelligence had no information about him, there were also no levers of influence. In the end, Heckeklia remained an independent country, but due to Weiling's death, it lost its chance to become an international force to be reckoned with. The execution of his wife, Albei, slowed down, but did not stop, scientific progress; the ruler of El Ragna, apparently, committed this terrible act in an attempt to provoke the ruler of Carrag into an open conflict in order to subsequently take his place as the leader of the alliance of free cities of Heckeklia. He might even have established a royal system here with his dynasty at the head if he had succeeded. The fall of the current regime in El Ragna meant little to Aulus, and he returned home, deciding that with Chinax's death, he had nothing more to do in the Weiling mercenary organization. Thanks to Alma, slavery became entrenched as the foundation of Heckeklian society and culture for many decades, or even centuries. Shendet el Isin, as befits a skilled warrior, fell in battle, but in the last moments of his existence, he regretted his inherent carelessness. The Palazzo family lost its former influence and faded into oblivion. Zhuge Liang and Inar Anluki kept the talismans given to them by Theodore Gailing as a souvenir. Piona Leis returned home and, at the decision of Lucretia Air el Sufir, was dismissed from her government post and deprived of her priestly privileges. Matsunaga Shizuo continued his journey in the hope of keeping the love of his life, Kagura, in this world. Floria Lorenzo moved to Marion, where she had to find a new craft for herself. Nekoran El-Hamazi failed to realize his grand ambitions to transform Heckeklia into a magocracy under the rule of his dynasty. Inar Anluki sponsored the opening of a secret workshop where the developments of Chinax's team were studied, and subsequently, he began to distribute them on the black market; his first and main clients in the long term were the governments of Serberia and the Mirai Empire.
