The Duke of Nassus stared at Count Josian, who had an equally calm face on the other side.

If he could kill people with his eyes, he would definitely not mind killing Count Joshua ten or eight times.

If it weren't for the fact that the logistics department in charge of this guy failed to meet the needs of the front-line troops in this war, how could he have been defeated on the battlefield and finally forced the kingdom to sign a humiliating peace agreement with the kingdom of Ensfaran?

Count Joshua naturally felt the hatred in Duke Nasassus's eyes, but he could only remain silent, his expression full of bitterness.

As the head of logistics of the military department of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, he cannot guarantee the logistics supply of the front-line army, which is a responsibility that he cannot shirk at all, and he has no way to refute it.

But this time...... There's really nothing he can do.

No one expected that the new flying chamber of commerce's complete withdrawal from the Magic Mana Kingdom would have such a big impact on the Magic Mana Kingdom, far beyond his expectations, and beyond everyone's expectations.

This time, the kingdom won a real victory in the war with the Kingdom of Ensfaran, and the main reason was the poor logistics, and the reasons for the poor logistics were varied.

Let's take the most obvious example.

In the aftermath of the war, in order to transport large quantities of late-stage supplies to the front line, many roads within the Magic Kingdom of Mana can be said to have been overloaded.

And such an overload state naturally leads to all kinds of problems.

For example, a road is damaged to the point where it seriously affects the speed of transportation.

For example, a bridge even collapsed in the middle, causing two large freight magic locomotives to fall directly into the river, and several convoys of transport were blocked.

For example, in the transportation fleet under the logistics department, many freight magic locomotives have some failures in the tense transportation process, but because of the loss of the technical maintenance personnel of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the failure cannot be completely solved.

Even because of the full withdrawal of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. These freight magic locomotives, all produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, could not find qualified spare parts for repair.

For example......

And these are just the problems of logistics and material transportation.

In terms of the production of logistical materials, there have also been great problems because of the full withdrawal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For example, the one that was previously responsible for supplying the wintering jackets of the front-line army was mainly a cotton clothing factory cooperated by the Magic Kingdom of Mana and the Armani Chamber of Commerce.

On the surface, the complete withdrawal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to have nothing to do with this cotton clothing factory.

But in the actual production process. But the impact is felt in many ways.

Among them, the most obvious is that the magic machine tools of each production line in the cotton clothing factory are missing the meticulous maintenance and warranty from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there are different degrees of failure, which greatly reduces the production efficiency, and ultimately affects the quantity and even quality of the cotton clothing supplied to the front-line troops.

However, this time the period of war between the two sides has almost passed the entire winter, and whether the soldiers have enough cotton clothing and equipment naturally greatly affects the combat effectiveness.

In addition, there are all kinds of military magic machines equipped in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and small canned vegetables that soldiers must eat every day. All of them are undersupplied to varying degrees.

Even if Count Joshua could solve the transportation problem, he would not be able to solve the problem of production.

He was able to keep the troops on the front line hold out for four months before finally declaring that he was powerless to resist, which was already a great waste of effort, and where did he have the slightest idea of deliberately shirking.

However, the Duke of Nasassus, who was in charge of leading the army and was also under great pressure because of the defeat, would definitely not pay attention to this.

Konstantin, the current king of the Magic Kingdom of Mana and the only great magician among all the heads of state on the continent of Sainz, lowered his head slightly and looked at the Duke of Nassus and the Count Joshua with a wry smile on his face. I just feel a headache.

As His Majesty the King, who is in charge of the overall situation, he is of course very aware of the fact that this war with the Kingdom of Ensfaran is very profitable. The main reason is that it is logistical.

But the logistical problems are really not to blame on Count Joshuaan.

Because in the past few months, in addition to the various problems submitted by the military department in terms of logistics, there are countless problems related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and he has not been able to live in peace for a day.

Just now, the Royal Agricultural Agency submitted another report. According to the statistics of the Department of Agriculture, the kingdom still needs to purchase at least more than 3,000 units of various farm magic machines to barely meet the needs of spring plowing next year.

However, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has completely withdrawn from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, so the Magic Kingdom of Mana is now deprived of one of its main channels for purchasing Farmland Mana Machinery.

Although in recent years, because of the new flying chamber of commerce a lot of technology open. Many chambers of commerce outside the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have also mastered the manufacturing methods of some large-scale magic machinery, including the vast majority of farmland magic machinery, but compared with the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery, the farmland magic machinery manufactured by other chambers of commerce is very different in terms of quality and stability, and it cannot replace the role of the new flying brand farmland magic machinery at all.

Moreover, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly announced its complete withdrawal from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, other chambers of commerce immediately sat on the ground and raised the price of the originally very low price of farmland magic machinery directly increased several times, which made the Agricultural Department complain about this, and also made the Agricultural Department more than triple the budget for the kingdom's investment in agriculture in the coming year.

However, this is not the most important issue.

The Farmland Magic Machinery can still find a substitute other than the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but another thing that is deeply related to farmland farming-chemical fertilizer, is irreplaceable, and only the Moon Shadow Tribe can make it.

It stands to reason that the Moon Shadow clan is the Moon Shadow clan, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has completely withdrawn from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and it should have nothing to do with the Moon Shadow Clan.

However, after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced its complete withdrawal from the Magic Mana Kingdom, the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce, which is the main production cost of the Moon Shadow Clan, also publicly declared that the attitude of the Magic Mana Kingdom towards the New Flying Chamber of Commerce reflects the paranoia and dishonesty within the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and such a move is the most spurned behavior of the Elf Clan, so the Moon Shadow Tribe has also decided to sever all cooperative relations with the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

Nature. Fertilizer is also no longer sold to the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

After the announcement was made by the Moon Shadow Clan, the Nightsong Clan and the Azhara Clan, as well as the rest of the Elven Clans that had emerged in recent years, also issued an announcement, expressing the same attitude as the Moon Shadow Clan.

After the elves made their statement, a bunch of dwarven tribes and orc tribes actually joined in the fun, expressing their distrust of the Mana Magic Kingdom. Claims to refuse to deal with such a dishonest human kingdom, so cut off all trade exchanges with the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

Of course, aside from fertilizer, the Magic Kingdom of Mana doesn't have much demand for the unique products produced by these alien races, and it doesn't have much of an impact.

However, the subsequent withdrawal of the Human Chamber of Commerce has had a huge impact on the Magic Kingdom of Mana, causing the originally thriving magic industry system to almost collapse, and even other industries within the Magic Kingdom of Mana have also been greatly affected.

In recent months, there has been a lot of resentment within the Magic Kingdom of Mana. The situation has become extremely volatile.

Every time he received similar news, King Konstantin felt a pang of regret in his heart.

The wave of opposition that led to the withdrawal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Magic Kingdom of Mana was in fact inseparable from him, His Majesty.

In fact, the reason why there is such a wave of opposition, and even large-scale demonstrations, is completely deliberately connived at by the top management of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and even some high-level nobles are behind the scenes.

The reason for this is that there are indeed some voices within the Magic Kingdom of Mana that oppose the New Flying Chamber of Commerce - mainly from the part related to the Wizards' Guild. Second, the Magic Kingdom of Mana also hopes to use this to show its attitude to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and strive for more initiative in cooperation between the two sides.

However, King Constantine and the other high-ranking members of the Magic Kingdom of Mana did not think of it in any way. The reaction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was so resolute that it directly announced a complete withdrawal!

This was a surprise to the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

But even if King Constantine personally came forward and wanted to renegotiate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he was still resolutely rejected by Xu Yi, and he was not given the slightest chance to explain and relax.

Now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been fully withdrawn from the Magic Kingdom of Mana for nearly half a year, the huge impact of this incident is beginning to be felt little by little. Then the entire Magic Kingdom of Mana was in trouble.

The actual benefits of this war with the Ensfarran Kingdom have already had a huge impact on the surface, but compared to the impact on the entire Magic Kingdom of Mana, it can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg.

"Nathassus, you don't have to blame Joshua too much. "Come to think of it. Konstantin waved his hand tiredly, comforting the Duke of Nasassus. "Joxiuan has tried his best, but all kinds of problems have erupted together, and he really can't do anything. ”

Duke Nasassus's eyes glared: "If you don't have the ability to solve it, it's his fault! I don't care how many problems there are, but since he is the logistics chief, it is his responsibility to solve these problems! If it doesn't work, then replace it!"

A hint of anger crossed Earl Joshuaan's eyes.

This Duke of Nassus, who has always disagreed with his own politics, seems to be planning to take advantage of this opportunity to directly oust himself from his current position.

He was about to open his mouth to retort, but King Konstantin glanced at him and stopped him with his eyes.

"Nasassus, as I said, the main responsibility for this defeat is not on the logistics department, nor on your soldiers who are fighting on the front line......"

The Duke of Nassus was stunned.

The responsibility is not on the logistics department, and it is no longer on the army at the front, so on whom?

"Your Majesty, I ......"

As soon as the Duke of Nassus spoke, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him.

There was a sudden sound of surprise and panic in the hall.

"What's going on?" said King Constantine's calm voice.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Be...... It's the magic crystal that supplies the magic crystal lamp and runs out......" The panicked voice of an attendant sounded in the corner of the hall.

"Then you can't make up for it?" said King Konstantin angrily.

"But...... The standard magic crystals in the palace have been used up......" The waiter's voice was even more flustered.

King Konstantin was really angry this time.

"I know I'm going to run out, why don't I make it up sooner?"

"Your Majesty...... That one...... There are no standard mana crystals available in the kingdom now......"

"How can you not buy ......"

King Konstantin had just reprimanded half a sentence, but suddenly remembered something.

Although there are not many products that are unique to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at present, except for military magic machinery, there is one thing that is usually inconspicuous but important that is still exclusively produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

That's the standard mana crystal that all magic machines use.

Thinking of this, King Konstantin fell silent.

For a moment, only the heavy breathing of King Constantine and the three of them were clearly audible in the dark hall, but they didn't know what the three were thinking. (To be continued.) )
