I Will Be The Crowned King
Vol 4 Chapter 498: smuggling chain
Perhaps it was because the reinforcements who responded had boosted their self-confidence, and the morale of the New World Corps in the second half of the journey had obviously recovered a lot; especially when they saw the patrol cavalry passing by the roadside holding the 13-star ring flag, blowing to the teams marching along the road. When the horn raised the flag, the soldiers and colonists who were still dejected raised their chests and took off their hats in swagger.
That expression, as if they were not retreating, but a strategic turn, the kind of pride that "finally returned to their own land", the return of a king who has gone through hardships and dangers, arises spontaneously at this moment.
But they didn't know that the "patrol cavalry" they frequently encountered were actually the same group of people, even the "own people" who had just retreated together in the team.
After getting the information that the 3rd Infantry Regiment had successfully responded to the team, the hussars who were originally stationed in the shooting camp to ambushed also immediately rushed over; but they were not here to patrol, let alone **** the retreating team, but It was to report the position of the team to Major General Ludwig in Moby-Dick Harbor.
So just when the colonists were deeply proud of "our Confederacy is really strong", their speed of action, the specific location and even the number of people have been passed on to the hands of the jihadists.
After all, the actions of tens of thousands of people are impossible to hide. It is better to report it by yourself, so as to avoid the jihadist sentinels in Beluga Harbor accidentally bumping into them head-on. It is impossible to stop them, let alone stop them, and everyone will be embarrassed.
By the way, you can send some information to Ludwig, so that he will not have nothing to say at the meeting of the Crusaders Command. As one of the most important allies of the Confederacy, the stronger Ludwig is, the more suitable it is. Confederate interests.
However, after realizing the impact of these "patrol cavalry" on morale, Anson and Louis decisively dispatched a small number of cavalry in the regiment, left in batches in the name of sentinels, and then mixed into the patrolling hussars, posing as Throughout the Ice Dragon Fjord, there are false impressions of Confederate patrols everywhere.
While the two of them were still trying to improve the morale of the legion and speeding up their journey, Lieutenant Colonel Carl Bain, the chief of staff of the Storm Legion, was also confronting the mountains of various accounts and documents. A death fight with "fake" Sir Phyllis.
From the map, Grey Snow Town is not so much a part of Ice Dragon Fjord, but two-thirds of Ice Dragon Fjord is actually under the control of this town; it's just that these two-thirds of the population , even if the level of material and prosperity is doubled, it will not be comparable to the remaining one-third.
As an important population settlement and transportation logistics center in the interior, the colony played a crucial role in Anson's "Resilient Defense" plan: eastward, it was the retreat destination for the five colonies led by Strawtown. ; To the west, it is the last stop before the transfer to Winter Torch City, which has to bear thousands of colonists and supplies.
After Anson left, Carl Bain, the chief of staff of the legion, naturally became the highest-ranking person in the entire colony.
However, in Carl's eyes, the difference between someone's presence and absence is really negligible, because even when he is there, these trivial things are thrown to himself, and he doesn't even consider that such a huge workload has already surpassed the staff of the Storm Legion. Add the upper limit of the ability of logistics; and you can't ask, just ask is absolute trust.
Fortunately, the colony today is no longer the colony it was when it came here. Most of the work in the logistics department is completely shared by the transfer personnel of the Luen family, the New World Company, and the various messy committees established by Anson Bach. The poor chief of staff only Just need to make a final decision.
But even so, the workload was astonishingly large—especially before he knew it, the Free Confederation, which had been planning to retreat to Winter Torch City, suddenly reversed its attitude and was ready to retake Beluga Harbor.
It feels as if you have finally fulfilled all the requirements of Party A, and when everything has to be done, because you can't pass the review and tell you that you need to overthrow it, everyone doesn't know what went wrong, and everything goes back to the beginning. starting point.
"...Since you left...it should have been the capture of Beluga Harbor from Ludwig, a large number of materials and personnel began to transfer at twice the original speed and scale, completely exceeding our group's ability to calculate and organize. , almost two-thirds of them are backlogged in the warehouse, and no one dares to touch anyone..."
Karl, who was collapsed on the long table, said, his hands kept twitching, his eyes seemed to be controlled by black magic and couldn't focus for a long time, and his clear articulation sounded as if the gears that had forgotten to be lubricated were flying fast. Spin and go straight to Mars:
"Fortunately, the military factory has been basically rebuilt. It should not be a problem to simply produce some guns and ammunition. It should not be a problem to repair the existing equipment. If it's longer, you'll have to think of a way to gnaw on tree bark and catch mice..."
"Very good... No! It's very good, it's really hard for you!" Anson brought a cup of hot coffee with a smile, and placed it where the chief of staff could touch it when he got up: "To be honest, even if it is now The standard has been cut in half, and it has greatly exceeded my expectations!"
"Half? How miserable are your expectations..." Carl, who rolled his eyes, muttered: "But what you said is right, just relying on our few potatoes and carrots, it's hard enough to complete half of the main work. It's all done by people from Newland Corporation."
"Ah! Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered - Leinhard Roland, the first president of your amazing New World Company, I found him in..."
"Suddenly sent information to the Roland family, as well as the jihadist army of Arthur Hereid." Anson wrote lightly and smiled: "Yes, I know."
"you know?!"
The chief of staff, who was about to die just now, suddenly came to his senses, and the carp stood up straight: "When?!"
"…What?"
"When did it start?!"
"Ah, I don't know either."
"You just said you knew!"
"But I only know that he is sending information to the opposite side. As for when to start... I am not from the Roland family!"
"…"
After being stunned for several seconds, the shocked chief of staff suddenly seemed to realize something: "Wait a minute, is that why Arthur Herreid is so stubborn in attacking Red Hand Bay, not Moby Dick? Hong Kong - because most of the Roland family's investments are here?!"
"...that's possible."
Anson nodded slightly, although he always felt that Louis was more likely, but he couldn't say that there was no reason for this.
"Ed Levent has been killed. The current leader of his legion is a member of the Dukasky family, and he can also be regarded as one of our allies. Together with Major General Ludwig, there are already Three..." Carl began to mutter to himself:
"Oh yes, and Leon François of the Legion of the Earth... Don't even think about it. Even if you don't take the initiative to speak up, he will definitely be on our side."
"If you think about it like this, four of the six holy war legions are ours. How did this holy war start?!"
"Uh... I can't say that completely, at least on the surface they still have to obey the leadership of the Holy See." Anson waved his hand: "And it can't be counted on our side, at most it belongs to the level of potential allies, and it can't be expected in a real fight. They are soft-hearted."
He really wanted to say what the Legion is. My loyal Deputy Commander is the eyeliner directly under the royal family, and is a strong guarantor that our Storm Legion is still loyal to the Kingdom; Secretary Alan Dawn can even contact the Holy See directly. No matter how big or small the side information was, the Holy See had already figured it out. Otherwise, how could the so-called "turn from defeat to victory" trump card given by Roman would be so useful.
The Free Confederacy has been established, and the roots of the Rune family have gradually penetrated into the entire New World; as long as the Apostle Rune is still there, the Holy See will never be able to completely eradicate the rebellious colonial power.
"That's true, I'm too optimistic." Karl took a sip of his coffee, and subconsciously fumbled into his jacket pocket with his right hand, but unfortunately there was nothing but a shriveled cigarette case.
Since the beginning of the jihad, the trade between the New World and the Old World has been completely cut off; some necessities of life are not bad, such as wine, tobacco and other luxuries have long been out of supply, and even some leftovers have long been fired. to the sky-high price.
Therefore, the Storm Legion, who wanted to make money, united with the New World Company early on, plus a few colonial chambers of commerce in the tobacco trade to monopolize the inventory, and the price was comparable to that of gold. Full.
Of course, the price is that Carl Bain, who is the chief of staff, doesn't even smoke anymore. Of course, there is a price to pay for money.
"Sword Comes"
"Wait, I'm not against everyone earning extra money, but you have to consider the actual situation, right?" An Sen couldn't help frowning:
"Not to mention who you sell the tobacco to at a sky-high price, even if you get the money... Where are you going to put it, Winter Torch City?"
"How is this possible, in that ghost place, what are we doing with money?" Carl rolled his eyes again:
"How to save the money is a bit complicated, but who to sell it to is very simple, you actually know it."
"I know..." An Sen was stunned for a second, then stunned:
"The Holy War Army?!"
"Yup."
"He... how could they buy tobacco from us?!"
"Why not?" Seeing Anson's unexpected expression, Carl's mouth turned up after a long absence:
"You think, the Holy See has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to attack the new world across the sea; even if they find all the ships they can find, how many people, how many supplies, how many arms... I'm afraid it's just for the soldiers to eat Fully clothed and well-equipped, you have done your best, right?"
"Tobacco, and alcohol... They will definitely bring this luxury, but the quantity is definitely not enough; so... since they are willing to sell us arms, why can't they buy tobacco and alcohol from us?"
Anson was stunned.
Yeah, why, doesn't it sound reasonable?
"As for how to make the payment from the other side... The process is a bit cumbersome, so I'll try to explain it as simply as possible." Carl couldn't help taking another sip of his coffee, his expression quite distressed—this thing is now ridiculously expensive in New World.
"First of all, all accounts will definitely not be in cash, but through the New World Company, or more precisely, the Northland Chamber of Commerce of the Roland family."
"The people on our side will only be handed over one-to-one by the people from the New World Company and the Northland Chamber of Commerce. On the opposite side, the money is paid first and then paid later; the money is borrowed and punched in the banks of several local port cities. The money has at least three bearer accounts."
"After confirming that the bank's account has been credited, the people from the Northland Chamber of Commerce will hand over the bill to the New World Company, and we will only ship the bill after confirming the bill. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we will follow your secretary's suggestion. Divided into three, 40% is deposited in the church bank, 40% is in the bank of the local chamber of commerce, and the rest requires that the opposite party must pay cash, and does not accept deposits, and must be shipped in full."
Carl was quite proud when he said this... Relying on this "luxury trade", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com maintained the morale lost by the Storm Legion due to the "routing" losing a lot of real estate, It can even transfer resources, establish a new line of defense in Grey Snow Town under limited conditions, continue to organize the training of the colonial militia, and keep all the factories that are still running... The biggest cost of the subsequent counterattack is preserved.
And the people are still those people, the materials are still those materials, the money is still the money; all things have not changed their position, but they have created huge wealth out of thin air and solved countless problems... Carl even feels that he will retire from the army later. Now, you can definitely consider working in the logistics or financial industry.
The loyalty and ability of the Storm Legion are highly tied to the treatment; Anson was so tossing everyone in Straw Town and Slave Harbor before, if he can't even get this "extra money", don't expect another time.
Therefore, what shocked Anson was not that his subordinates did everything to make money and extra money, but that the penetration ability of the Northern Chamber of Commerce was so terrifying that they could actually do this under the eyes of the Holy See, which has the only currency issuance right in the world. This extreme operation has not been noticed.
Well, it would be even more terrifying if it was noticed.
Leinhard Roland, the first president of his great New World Bank, must be the mastermind of the entire smuggling chain... Being able to sell things in the new world, but keeping the money in the old world, shows that the Northland Chamber of Commerce should now It has undertaken a lot of logistical supplies for the Mujahideen Army.
It takes one month to cross a turbulent sea from the old continent to the new world, and the armistice period agreed by the Free Confederation and the Mujahideen is half a month, which means...
"If there can be a large-scale disruption to the logistics of the Mujahideen Army, and the Holy See is forced to the negotiating table... It seems that it is not impossible..."
