Faulty designs should naturally be left to the opponents.
Steed's approach was quite straightforward.
There were always designers in the factory who, knowing many secrets of the Saint-Étienne Armory, believed Steed dared not fire them. Indeed, Steed was concerned about this and often turned a blind eye to their violations and laziness, which only made them more audacious.
Now, Steed thought it was a good opportunity to address this.
Of course, before dismissing them, Steed would have them sign "non-disclosure agreements" with lofty penalties for any breaches, making these designers firmly believe that the information they held was valuable.
The design drawings of the Shao Sha Machine Gun would eventually end up in the hands of the Pito Armory, of that there was no doubt.
But that was exactly what Steed hoped for.
Steed could even imagine the mood at the Pito Armory when they saw these design drawings.
