King

“Today we have called everyone here for one thing – to fill the deficit in the accounts!

Everyone must have heard about the investigation team. It's not a rumor. The Kingdom and the Human Alliance have now sent investigation teams and will arrive at the front line soon.

Everyone is the specific executor of the logistics and transportation of the coalition forces. I think everyone knows what I have done since I took office and whether I have embezzled military supplies.

Loss of logistics materials during transportation is bound to happen. Due to various emergencies on the battlefield, it is normal for the loss to occasionally exceed the limit and the outbound and inbound data to be inconsistent.

These are unspoken rules in the military. As long as they do not exceed the limit, no one will generally pursue them.

But this time was an exception. Someone was cheating, and the unspoken rules in the general were brought to light.

Now the Alliance Council wants to get serious with us. Then there is no way. Whoever is responsible for a deficit in the area will be responsible for the aftermath.

I don't care whether I find a way to make up for the shortfall or find a reason to explain to the investigation team.

Anyway, the problem must be solved, we cannot let everyone be dragged down along with it, and be despised by the world with the reputation of being greedy and reselling military supplies!

I will give you ten days. After ten days, the logistics department will organize manpower to conduct a self-examination. Whoever is responsible for a deficit in the area will bear the responsibility.

This matter is very serious, and the problem cannot be solved by introducing a few scapegoats.

Any attempt to take chances will end up harming others and yourself. Once the investigation team finds out the problem, people will die!

If you have any questions, you can ask Duke Pias. I think His Excellency the Duke will give you a satisfactory answer here! "

At the military meeting of the Logistics Department, Hudson said indifferently.

The investigation team from the Human Alliance came here not just to investigate the reselling of logistical supplies, but also had a greater political significance behind it.

Otherwise, even if there is an investigation, people from several countries responsible for logistics and transportation will be roped in and sent over to investigate.

It is a pity that the news that Hudson found out was that the Human Alliance sent a separate investigation team. People from the four northern countries were even excluded from the investigation team on the grounds of avoiding suspicion.

Hudson was not surprised that the Principality of Moxi, the Kingdom of Warhammer, and the Principality of Alton received such treatment, but targeting the Alpha Kingdom in this way was a bit excessive.

As the most powerful country in the north, the Alpha Kingdom is also ranked as the largest force among the entire human race. Even though his vitality is severely damaged now, he is still a powerful force among the human race.

Under normal circumstances, given the Alpha Kingdom's status in the Human Alliance, it would be impossible for everyone to do things so absolutely.

After all, from the time the coalition launched its counterattack until now, there have been no major omissions in logistics, and the performance of the Logistics Department is absolutely excellent.

In this era where heroes are judged by their results, even if someone makes a report, the Alliance Council should suppress the problem first and then slowly investigate after the war is over.

If the investigation is launched in such a hurry now, if the problem is really found, is it possible that all the logistics departments that have performed well can be replaced?

Even if the investigation team has such courage, who can guarantee that after the replacement, the successor can do better than now?

If something goes wrong later and the coalition forces on the front line are killed because the logistics cannot keep up, who will bear the responsibility?

In the world of aristocrats, there is never absolute right or wrong. The performance of the Alliance Council at this moment is obviously aimed at the distribution of interests after the war.

Whether they want to admit it or not, the Alpha Kingdom made the greatest contribution to this war, followed closely by the Principality of Moxi and the Warhammer Kingdom.

According to traditional practice, the country that pays the most should also take the largest share of the cake.

There is no doubt that this is only an ideal situation. Countless years ago, this model of fair distribution based on contribution was broken by a group of unruly guys.

This time is no exception. It's one thing that everyone looks down on the orc prairie, but that doesn't mean everyone is willing to see the Alpha Kingdom continue to expand into the orc prairie.

If there is a fair distribution, the Alpha Kingdom can take away at least one-third of the orc prairie, which is equivalent to doubling the territory.

Once such a large territory is developed. The Alpha Kingdom is really going to grow bigger, and there is no force in the northern land that can check and balance them.

Even if Caesar III made a promise to give up territorial claims on the Orc Steppe, it still could not reassure everyone.

It is just a verbal promise and can be voided at any time. What's more, the Alpha Kingdom does not take any land, which does not mean that the kingdom's nobles will not participate in dividing the spoils.

Even if a new country is divided, the bones are broken but the tendons are still connected. With its geographical advantage, the Alpha Kingdom can still slowly annex the Orc Steppe.

For the purpose of strategic checks and balances, other major human forces must take action. Originally, everyone was still worried about finding a reason to kick the Alpha Kingdom out, but unexpectedly the opportunity came to their doorstep.

As long as it is confirmed that the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are involved in reselling strategic materials, then everyone can kick them out naturally.

Without the leading party, even if the Alpha Kingdom regains its strength, it will be difficult to complete its expansion into the orc prairie under the attention of all major forces.

The inside truth is all Hudson's personal speculation, and naturally it is impossible to tell it openly.

The nobles present, even if they don't find the problem now, will slowly figure it out after a while.

But you know, this doesn't prevent Hudson from using the topic to direct his hatred towards Duke Pias. Since it's a feud, it's natural to start with hatred.

Perhaps aware of the unkind looks from everyone, Duke Pias hurriedly explained: "Earl Hudson, I am also confused about this matter.

To be honest, the report to the Alliance has nothing to do with the Locknard family. Even I only found out about it recently.

After receiving the news, I immediately ordered the recall of that idiot Geoff. Unfortunately, it was too late. The person involved had already disappeared in the Frankish Kingdom.

According to the investigation of Geof, we found that he has been in contact with many forces recently.

The most eye-catching thing is the July Cult Meeting.

Geoff suddenly reported to the Alliance Council without notifying his family. He was probably under the control of a cult organization! "

There are many suspects, but the July Club is the easiest to bully. In the absence of evidence, Duke Pias did not dare to offend anyone casually, so he could only pick out this soft persimmon.

"Duke Pias, are you sure you're not joking?

Everyone must be aware of how strict the alliance parliament's review is. It is simply impossible to use evil methods to control members of parliament and sneak into the venue.

Even if it was the work of the July Cult, it was only through Geoff's active cooperation that he could avoid detection.

The person belongs to the Locknard family, and it also represents the Locknard family's seat in the alliance. Now that something has happened, just say it doesn’t matter. Do you think this is reasonable? "

Earl Pierce asked angrily.

As the most deceived being, he no longer cares about his previous agreement with the Rocknard family. He has lost interest in continuing to join forces with such pig teammates.

It is important to attack Hudson, but we also need to pay attention to means and methods. Even if he reported to the kingdom that Hudson was embezzling military supplies, Earl Pierce would be able to accept it.

This kind of disagreement directly broke the news and reported it to the Human Alliance Council. He really couldn't figure out what the Locknard family wanted to do.

He didn't believe a word of Duke Pias's explanation, or rather he didn't want to believe it.

Geoff is a core member of the Locknard family, and he also holds important positions such as Alliance Councilor. There will definitely be no shortage of expert protection around him.

It was very difficult for the people of the July Society to get close to him, let alone use evil methods to control him and manipulate him to file a report in the Alliance Parliament.

If it was really that powerful, Qi Qi would have turned the Alpha Kingdom upside down long ago, and it wouldn't have been a cult until now.

Even if you want to pass the blame, you have to choose a powerful character who is more likely to be accepted by everyone.

“Your Excellency, although the matter seems unreasonable, it is indeed the truth.

Think about it, what good will it do to me to report the coach to the league council, which is a taboo thing? "

Duke Pias tried to explain.

He really couldn't afford to take this responsibility. It can be seen from the murderous eyes of the nobles that today's meeting is a "Hongmen Banquet" aimed at him.

If the explanation is clear, the Rocknard family is still a major noble in the Alpha Kingdom; if they are blamed, they don't need to hang out in the aristocratic circle.

"snort!"

After a cold shout, Earl Pierce regained his rationality and did not continue to launch an "offensive".

After all, they have a common enemy. If the Locknard family is really killed, it will not do any good to the Dalton family.

Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled knowingly. It is undoubtedly the easiest way to pit two enemies against each other.

The estrangement has been buried. It will not be so easy for the two companies to cooperate in the future.

"Duke Pias, since you have given your explanation now, I will believe you for now.

However, the incident was ultimately caused by the Rocknard family, and the responsibility should still be borne.

My demands are not high. As long as the Locknard family can make up for this loss, I don't have to worry about this incident! "

Count Carles's last-ditch follow-up attack undoubtedly reminded all the nobles present.

Regardless of whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes, the Locknard family must be held responsible for this incident. Otherwise, where can everyone make up for their losses?

The July Society, that kind of cult organization that is so poor that it only has its life left. Even if they catch the person, they don't have the money to compensate everyone for the loss!

"Carles is right, this incident was caused by the Locknard family, and they must be held responsible for it.

My demands are not high. As long as His Excellency the Duke can get enough strategic materials and balance the accounts for us, the matter will be over! "

Count Martinez said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, he was forced to marry by three of the twelve earls of the kingdom, and Hudson also roughly saw the existence of the circle.

There is no doubt that these three companies are obviously politically aligned. Otherwise, they would not jump out at this time and attack the Rocknard family together.

In a sense, this was also forced out by Hudson. Originally, everyone was just looking after their own families and trying to find ways to make up for the shortfall.

But as Hudson made the mission clear just now, not only did everyone have to make up for their own shortfalls, but they also had to pay off the accounts of their subordinates to be done.

Without any surprise, Earl Pierce became the biggest unlucky guy. They are both nobles from the southeastern province and have many relatives and friends. Naturally, Hudson will not take less care of him.

Earl Pierce took a fat job, and his younger brother also took a fat job. It was great to make money by reselling strategic materials, but now it is miserable to fill the hole.

To suddenly spend a huge amount of money to make up for the shortfall, even the big nobles would have to break their muscles, let alone the small and medium-sized nobles.

The younger brothers have no money, so they can only choose to mess around. The task of filling the hole fell on the boss.

The aristocrats of the southeastern provinces stepped into a trap too deep and left too big a hole. Even the wealthy and powerful Dalton family could not afford to take the blame.

As a last resort, Earl Pierce had no choice but to bite the Locknard family, hoping to get the person directly responsible to share the losses.

The bandwagon effect is obvious. After someone took the lead, all the nobles present jumped out and claimed damages from Duke Pias.

…

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. The Locknard family is certainly to blame for this incident. It is natural for them to bear responsibility.

But the reality has to be considered now. The biggest problem at present is that profiteers are hoarding goods, causing prices to skyrocket.

To solve this problem, I think Earl Hudson has a better way! "

From the moment the Duke of Kavadia stood up, Hudson knew that what was coming would eventually come. I just didn't expect it to be so crude and simple.

"Don't look at me like that. Everyone must know what the trading platform represents.

If anyone has the confidence to do it, then do it yourself. I haven’t lived enough.

The second thing is that profiteers are not profiteers. You should know how the goods on the black market come from.

After such a long period of scattered transactions, most of the strategic materials flowing out of the army were scattered and sold to mercenaries. It is estimated that almost all of them have been consumed by now.

Businessmen are not fools. Even if they have stockpiles, they cannot have too much. Before this, no one knew that there would be idiots going to the Alliance Council to report.

With just the few goods on the black market, it is simply impossible to plug the holes for everyone, and it may not even be able to fill even a quarter of the holes.

If you want to balance the accounts, you must have new sources of supply. It is too late to transport from the rear. Everyone should know who can sell strategic materials now.

There are two options, either you can use your own connections to find ways to purchase strategic materials from them; or you can let businessmen do the transit.

Of course, if anyone thinks he is strong enough, he can ignore the will of the coalition or consider some idiot's proposal. "

Hudson mocked unceremoniously.

How could he not be prepared if he dared to take over the black market? This kind of shady business is destined to be hidden in the dark and cannot be verified.

Virtual reality is real, real reality is virtual reality.

No one can figure out how many forces there are behind the trading platform as long as Hudson himself doesn't say it.

Just like now, he can unscrupulously take advantage of the coalition forces. If you want to take the opportunity to put pressure on him, that's just a joke.

The most direct characteristic of a great noble is that he has a big family and a big business. When doing things, you need to look forward and backward, and you cannot act according to your temper.

Even if you want to overturn the table, you have to first look at who is sitting on the table. There are many sources of black market goods, and whether Hudson is engaging in vests or recruiting chambers of commerce to join, who can tell them apart?

Including the sales employees at the trading center, they don't know who they are working for.

It's not even clear who the real owner of the goods is, so naturally no one will act rashly.

If you accidentally grab the wrong person and hit the iron plate, you will have to pay the price in blood.

Giving Hudson a fierce look, Duke Kavadia suppressed his anger. Reason told him that now was not the time to fall out.

Deep down, he was already cursing himself for being stupid. He didn't even understand the enemy's trump cards, so he foolishly ran out to stand up for his allies.

Now the topic has been successfully changed, but the way everyone looks at him has also changed. That caring look in his eyes really made him unhappy.

There is no doubt that what happened today will have a huge impact on his reputation.

Being labeled as "stupid", his appeal in the aristocratic circle will inevitably be greatly reduced in the future.

It's a pity that after analyzing the sequelae, it doesn't mean that he can counterattack. The painstakingly prepared offensive was defused by Hudson before it had time to ferment.

The next question everyone is considering is no longer whether to shut down the black market and snatch back the materials previously sold; rather, it is about finding a way for the black market merchants to continue their efforts and raise more strategic materials for consumption.

The price issue is only secondary. The key is to have enough strategic materials on the market to help them fill the gap.

If you want to extract strategic materials from the coalition forces, you don't have to be rich.

People also need to take responsibility for falsely reporting battle losses. Especially within a short period of time, it increases the risk.

The nobles who cherish their feathers simply ignore them. After all, by doing this kind of business, you are exposing your own weakness.

The most suitable operation is to let businessmen with background do the transfer. It doesn't matter how it is done, the key is to have strategic materials.

"If you don't have any better suggestions, then let's follow Earl Hudson's suggestion!

In short, everyone must plug the holes they have made as soon as possible. This is also what His Majesty the King means.

The investigation team sent by the kingdom will arrive in ten days. I hope that everyone will have filled the shortfall by then, saving us all from being disgraced. "

Marquis James on the side added.
