King

Chapter 190 The Vortex of Power

After a burst of screams, Hudson took away enough supplies, leaving only the quartermaster with missing arms and short legs, wailing on the spot.

The price of not having a good eye. Hudson, who had just arrived, was in need of someone to establish his authority, and this guy showed up on his own. Who could blame him?

The quartermaster's miserable situation was naturally deliberately arranged by Hudson. Otherwise, with Bear Stearns' style, people would turn into mincemeat if a bear paw paws them.

Now people are not turned into meat, but their limbs are reduced to meat. With such an injury, even if he is rescued, his vitality will be exhausted, and he will not be able to survive for a few days.

In order to prevent the quartermaster from dying prematurely, Hudson deliberately used magic to stop his bleeding.

As a negative teaching material, living people are often more educational than dead people.

What's more, those who go out must give face to their masters. Killing people directly, everyone loses face.

This treatment is just right.

Even if word gets out, it is the quartermaster's own responsibility. No matter how you look at it, it’s hard to overstate whether military supplies are shoddy and only receive a beating.

Even though he was beaten badly, it didn't hurt. It's normal for the Earth Bear to be unsure of the severity of its attack.

People can discuss it slowly, but that doesn't mean Warcraft also needs to discuss it. If you dare to deduct the rations of Warcraft, this unknown quartermaster deserves the misfortune.

It's embarrassing to think about it. I acted too quickly just now and actually forgot to ask the unlucky guy's name.

Hudson took the supplies and left, but the logistical bureaucrats exploded.

I haven't seen someone so arrogant in many years, and they simply don't take their logistics department seriously.

You won’t know if you don’t check, and you’ll be dumbfounded if you check.

The "guest troops" came here to help, and were not bound by the military laws of the Principality of Moxi at all.

It's just a quartermaster being beaten. It's such a trivial matter. Even if it goes up to the top, it will most likely be reduced to a minor matter.

The most important thing is that they violated a taboo by distributing moldy food as military rations, and there is no way to bring it to the table.

If a riot really breaks out, I don't know if Hudson, as a meritorious official, will be unlucky. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the logistics department who will be unlucky first.

Earl Sanford, who was in charge of frontline logistics, now had a gloomy look on his face.

If you dare to cause trouble like this, you clearly are not someone to be trifled with.

Now it's not a question of whether their logistics department will cause trouble, but whether Hudson will continue to cause trouble.

Distributing moldy grain to guest armies as military supplies, if something like this happened, it would be a serious diplomatic incident.

Falling into the eyes of the Alpha Kingdom means not taking them seriously.

Now the Principality of Moxi is counting on reinforcements from various countries to save its life. If something like this happened, I must give an explanation!

Although many dignitaries in the principality shared in the military benefits, he was the one in charge who took the blame.

"Gio, is that idiot dead?"

Earl Sanford asked angrily.

Deep down, he had already greeted this bastard's entire family countless times.

In normal times, it’s okay to get benefits, but you have to keep your eyes open!

Others may be concerned about the network of contacts involved in the logistics department and worry about offending the wrong people.

The guest troops from outside do not hang out in the Principality of Moxi, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

If you want to wear small shoes for others, it depends on whether they buy it.

When someone is in a hurry, they just drop their picks on the battlefield.

The mess was made, and it was up to the Moxi Principality to clean up the mess.

"Your Excellency, poor Viscount Gio has just been rescued and is in a very bad condition now.

According to the pastor, the bear struck too hard, hurting his vitality and consuming too much life force.

Unless we can find a treasure that restores his vitality, our Viscount Gio may not have a few more years to live. "

After hearing what the captain of the guard said, Earl Sanford slammed the table and shouted coldly:

"snort!"

"Having caused such a huge disaster at this juncture, this idiot is still alive. It is simply a disgrace to the nobility of the principality!"

They are all true. Sanford really wants this subordinate to die now.

If Viscount Gio had died on the spot, the matter would have been easier to solve.

Killing a noble is also a big event. The two sides have each other's handle, so they can just cover up the matter and it's over.

Unfortunately, Viscount Gio survived, and everything became different.

Beating up a corrupt nobleman is not a crime at all. If you want to pass the blame, the Alpha Kingdom must be willing to take over.

Although the two countries need each other now, the Alpha Kingdom is obviously the stronger one and has a greater say.

It's not that Earl Sanford has never thought about killing people and silencing them, but he just doesn't dare to carry it out.

Assassinating nobles is very taboo.

There were too many people who knew that Viscount Gio was alive, and if they were all silenced, the impact would be too great.

Once the news leaks out, he will have to follow it and die, no matter how big the backstage is, it can't cover it.

Seeing this scene, the captain of the guard on the side immediately realized that something serious was going on.

In the past, when officials of the Logistics Department had conflicts with front-line officers over the distribution of military supplies, Earl Sanford always supported his own people.

He had never been so panicked before, no matter how powerful a front-line officer was. Only this time he got angry and it was clear that something big had happened.

Realizing this, the captain of the guard directly observed a moment of silence for Viscount Gio.

Just when I was about to make a big fortune, I hit the hardest iron plate.

Not only is there no hope for revenge, but whether he can live the rest of his life safely is still unknown.

In an instant, he made the decision to cut with Viscount Gio, who was about to be finished.

It's just a pity that the generous gift I just received, before I had time to open it to see what it was, now has to be returned.

“Your Excellency, now that things have happened, it is useless to hold people accountable.

The key to the problem is Earl Hudson. If he can be kept silent, this incident can be treated as if nothing happened.

The disaster was caused by Viscount Gio, so naturally he should be responsible for the aftermath.

If he can't handle this matter, we'll spend more favors and ask Viscount Raquel and others to come forward and make peace. "

It's not a matter of conscience, it's mainly a matter of principle.

Even if it doesn't work out and the gift is returned in the end, you still have to try it first.

Viscount Gio can bribe him, the captain of the guard, and he can also bribe others.

There are never any secrets in the Logistics Department. If Viscount Gio knew that he was not doing anything and bit him out, it would be a big trouble.

Anyway, he has given the idea now. As for whether Viscount Gio can seize the opportunity, it has nothing to do with him.

In the commander's camp, Marshal Hoch was burning the midnight oil to fight.

As a frontline commander, there are endless things to deal with every day. This kind of thing is common.

After approving the last official document, Marshal Hoch slowly raised his head and asked the adjutant beside him:

"I heard that the famous Earl of Hudson had a conflict with the Logistics Department. How far has it progressed now?"

I have to admit that the speed of news transmission in the military camp is very fast.

Before the day was over, not only the officials in the logistics department received the news, but even the frontline commander also knew about it.

It can be seen from Marshal Hodge's questions that he hopes to make big news.

The problem of logistics corruption in the Principality of Moxi has been plaguing the military for many years.

It's just that the interests involved are too complicated. Even if you are now the commander-in-chief of the front line, Hodge still doesn't have the confidence to get rid of this cancer.

Just because you don't dare to move yourself doesn't mean you don't want others to move.

As a guest army, the Wright County Regiment had nothing to do with these interest groups and was undoubtedly a good pawn.

When it comes to the logistics of reinforcements, if things get serious, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably get involved.

At that time, it will become a matter between two countries, and it will even attract the attention of more countries. If you want to cover it up, you will not be able to cover it up.

In the face of the general trend, no interest group can hold it back.

Removing this cancer is definitely a good thing for the Principality of Moxi.

"Marshal, Earl Hudson has returned to the military camp since the commotion during the day, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.

The injured Viscount Gio was rescued by a priest. It's just that his condition is a bit bad, and I'm afraid he will have to retire early.

The logistics department was a bit complicated. Some officials clamored for revenge, but they were scolded bloody by Count Sanford.

I guess they want to treat it coldly and wait for the storm to pass before retaliating. "

After hearing what the adjutant said, Marshal Hoch laughed, then shook his head and said:

"Harley, you guessed wrong this time.

The old fox in Sanford didn't have the guts to take revenge.

What's more, even if he wants revenge, what can he do?

Is it possible that they still dare not to send supplies to the Wright County Legion?

Not to mention not sending supplies, even if the supplies are only a few days late, the Alpha Kingdom will protest to the Royal Capital.

It involves the life and death of the kingdom. If the king pursues the matter, the blame will fall on him.

If I guessed correctly, he should be busy thinking of ways to turn big problems into small ones.

After all, losing face is better than losing life. "

The interest groups involved in logistics are indeed large, but these vested interests only want to reap benefits, but are not prepared to drag the Principality of Moxi to hell.

Even if the benefits are obtained in normal times, most of them are shoddy goods. No one is stupid enough to take them all and starve the frontline officers and soldiers.

Not driving people to a dead end is why they can always make a fortune.

In addition, watching people prepare dishes is also a compulsory course.

Generally speaking, the main army of the principality can receive 80% to 90% of the logistics supplies. It is not surprising to encounter some powerful generals who receive the entire share.

What is really unlucky is the large cannon fodder army. Their own strength is poor, their voice in the army is not high, and they have no capital to cause trouble.

That's all for depriving one's own people of supplies.

Reinforcements like the Wright County Regiment, which are not easy to mess with at first glance, are obviously not among the categories that can be deducted from supplies.

Looking at the situation along the way, we can see that no one of the officials responsible for providing supplies along the way dared to cheat.

Being able to do this is obviously because the interest groups behind them have no intention of taking advantage of this part of the materials. When this kind of problem occurs on the front line, it is obvious that someone is acting on his own initiative.

The interest groups behind it have not benefited from it, so naturally they will not stand up for them.

If something goes wrong, all the logistics department bureaucrats, including Earl Sanford, will have to bear the consequences themselves.

After seeing all this clearly, Marshal Hoch soon became worried again.

The Wright County Regiment was a good sword, but he was not the man to wield it.

If he wants to make Hudson cause trouble, he still lacks enough chips in his hands.

Although the name of the frontline commander is resounding, under many checks and balances, his actual power has not reached the point where he can keep his promise.

In the camp, Hudson was eating a big meal, unaware that he had unintentionally fallen into the vortex of a power struggle.

Things during the day are just small episodes in life. If he hadn't wanted to establish his authority, he could have solved the problem in a more civilized way.

For example: on the grounds that the Munitions Office distributed moldy grain, it was announced that the Wright County Regiment had been neglected on the front line and left directly.

Forcing the reinforcements from the front line to remove reinforcements from the front line is a major political event that cannot be undertaken by the bureaucrats of the Logistics Department.

Just take a stand and scare those greedy bureaucrats to death.

Another example: using the diplomatic rhetoric agreed by the two countries and labeling it as tearing up the alliance can also make the quartermaster obey.

So many civilized methods were not used. Instead, the most violent method was adopted to solve the problem. It was unlucky for the quartermaster.

"Your Majesty the Legion Commander, Viscount Gio is here to visit."

After listening to the captain of the guard's words, Hudson kept recalling in his mind, but still could not find the memory of Viscount Gio.

If you have no impression, that means you are not a friend.

When a stranger dropped by unexpectedly, he had no time to receive him, so he waved directly and said:

"Tell Viscount Gio that I am not free right now, and I will tell you directly if I have anything.

In the future, I will always deal with this kind of strange visitor.

Of course, there are exceptions for some well-known figures or nobles who are earls and above. "

If he were in the Kingdom of Alpha, Hudson would definitely not be so snobbish, but this is the Principality of Moxie.

Making friends with the same group of small and medium-sized nobles is purely meaningless socializing and has no effect on future development.

The prerequisite for becoming a courtesy corporal still comes from value.

In the spare time he had, Hudson would rather reminisce with his knights than make friends with a strange viscount.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, Viscount Gio outside is the quartermaster during the day. Judging from the large number of gifts he is carrying, it seems that he is here to make amends."

Hearing this unexpected answer, Hudson was a little confused.

Thinking of how tough Viscount Gio was during the day, he thought he had a great background. Why did he soften so quickly after being beaten?

According to convention, those who can serve as quartermasters are related households.

When a conflict occurs, they usually fight the younger ones, provoke the older ones, and then gain experience and establish their authority along the way.

Even for the difficulties and conflicts that were to happen later, Hudson had prepared a way to deal with them. The result was this kind of apology drama, which was really unexpected.

"Bring him in!"
