Chapter 51: The Situation Suddenly Changes
In general, the Duke's demands can be summarized into three points, the first is to ensure that the two legions under his command have high-quality ordnance supplies, and the second is to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the 100,000 mountains in his own territory, but the benefits must be his own. Finally, don't get yourself in trouble.
Regarding the Duke's request, Lin He also made a statement. The armament piece is perfectly fine. It is perfectly fine to supply the equipment of the two legions with their own strength now.
As for comprehensive cooperation, then I can't know anything on my side, in principle, there is no problem, and then the specific details will be arranged for special people to discuss, and everyone just needs to set a general direction.
In the end, it was still a familiar routine, and in the presence of several major shareholders, several major group companies signed memorandums of cooperation with the Duke's side, taking over the market share after the withdrawal of the Trade Federation.
The specific cooperation exists in the form of branches, and the Duke's Court is responsible for providing the business site and a safe market operating environment. And the various groups are responsible for the supply of goods, operating personnel.
After five hours of bargaining between the two sides, a 28-ratio profit dividend was finally set. Although both sides felt that they had suffered a big loss, they could still accept it.
The fastest progress among them turned out to be the medical group to which the Lich clan belonged, and after some communication with the Duke, national hospitals were opened in the capitals of the six provinces in one go.
Because the progress of cooperation is so fast, many places have only signed the basic cooperation framework, and the follow-up implementation details need to be further improved. So much so that after the talks, the two sides went back to prepare, and the Duke did not even invite the partners present to visit Minsk.
As the liaison on the side of the Duke's Palace, Miss Avril remained in the camp of the visiting mission once again. Because the little girl participated in the inaugural meeting of a group of illegal gangs, she was particularly enthusiastic about these buns from the mountains, if it wasn't too late to disturb the hundreds of years old Calais patriarch to rest, it is estimated that the little girl would have pestered the old man to tell the story of the mountains.
As a group of workaholics, of course, you may also be stimulated by the imminent need to make a lot of money. There was a night of small black meeting on the side of the visiting mission, and everyone had nothing to say about the head of the delegation now, even His Majesty Serlandis was particularly impressed by the head of the group.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that Sunward Holdings would be responsible for the communication with the Duke's Palace, and then everyone would do what they should do according to the unified arrangement of Sunward Holdings.
It is estimated that the Duke went back yesterday and also held a small black meeting all night, so that there was no news from Minsk the next day, but the daily routine supply of supplies was much more abundant than before.
It wasn't until noon the next day that a horse team composed of dozens of people arrived late, these people were all transferred from the Duke's Palace, and they were basically the people in charge of taking care of the Duke's palace in various places before, and this time they simply took pictures of them. At the same time, there was also the appointment of the Duke, and Miss Avril was appointed as the head of the Liaison Office of the Duke's Palace, and she was to work with the visiting mission.
For this appointment, Avril Lavril herself is also gearing up to do a big job. The Calais patriarch on the side grinned vigorously. Through these few days of getting along, this old and young man have established a deep friendship.
Even the Calais patriarch already thought that the beautiful Miss Avril was already the kindest and most beautiful human he had ever seen. Before, this title belonged to the group leader, but now I'm sorry that someone has lost this title.
One of the stewards who came with him also handed over a letter from the duke, deeply sorry that he could not come in person, and that the military situation was urgent.
In the letter, the Duke also gave a general introduction to the situation in the four southwestern provinces. Just three days earlier, a divisional clash had erupted between the 25th Army Corps, which had been stationed in Blackwater City, and the Trade Federation forces stationed on the opposite side. And the war situation is not optimistic for the Empire.
The idea of not being optimistic is often that the empire has suffered a loss, and may even have suffered a defeat. At present, both sides are increasing their troops on a large scale, and the 19th Army Corps, which was responsible for the response in the early stage, has also moved closer to Blackwater City.
With the withdrawal of the regular troops roaming the four provinces, the situation in the entire region took a sharp turn for the worse. Large-scale riots have erupted in the capitals of a few provinces, and a large number of bankrupt or imminent bankrupt farmers have lost the last of their patience, and if effective measures are not taken in the short term, a crisis may well break out that will be very unfavorable to the empire.
Increasing the number of troops was the most effective and direct way to deal with it, and in addition to ordering the troops that had left for the southwest in the early stage to speed up their marches, the other provinces bordering the four provinces also received orders to be on alert.
The fief of the Duke of Bourbon has two provinces bordering four southwestern provinces, so it is also an important implementation unit of this alert. When it comes to going out to cut people and make a little money to spend, the Duke must have chosen the former without even thinking about it.
So last night, the 45th Synthetic Legion didn't even return to its hometown, and was directly led by the Duke to Cologne City, which is closest to the four southwestern provinces.
Seeing this scene, the visiting mission also felt that the big war was approaching, and several bigwigs discussed it and decided to hurry back to their nest to prepare for a big fight. Although it is a little uncomfortable to make war money, you can think about it from another angle, for example, we have provided the best equipment and the most comfortable logistics support for the soldiers who defend their homes and countries, so it is much more comfortable.
Of course, if you pay so much, you should still collect some hardship expenses appropriately. Although this toil fee is a bit much, it may reach millions of gold coins. But compared to the role it played, it can still be barely bearable.
As soon as she told Miss Avril about her decision, the little girl decided to take her own subordinates and everyone to set off back to Yecheng on the spot.
After all, he graduated from the Imperial Royal Academy, and he usually helps the Duke deal with the affairs of the territory, so he still has this awareness. Feeling the importance of her trip, the sense of responsibility in her heart made Avril understand the importance of this trip.
Compared with the sightseeing tour when they came, the people who returned became a gang of people who robbed things and fled. Even got rid of the slow-running dwarven infantry halfway through, and the only goal for everyone was to rush back as fast as possible to make a lot of money.
At first, I was worried that the pampered Avril couldn't bear it, but seeing the little girl galloping on horseback, Lin He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that it was really a tiger in the door, even if it was a tigress, it should not be underestimated.
