Chapter 34: The Vortex of Power
After a scream, Hudson took the full amount of supplies, leaving the quartermaster, who was missing an arm and a short leg, wailing in place.
The price of not having long eyes. Hudson, who has just arrived, is looking for someone to stand up, and this guy sends it to the door himself, who is to blame?
The tragic situation of the quartermaster was naturally deliberately arranged by Hudson. Otherwise, with Bear Stearns' style, people will become mush as soon as they fall under the paw of bears.
Now man is not made of flesh, but his limbs are reduced to flesh. With such an injury, even if it is rescued, its vitality will be consumed, and it will not be able to survive for a few days.
In order to prevent the quartermaster from dying early, Hudson also deliberately used magic to stop the bleeding for him.
On the flip side, the living are often more educational than the dead.
What's more, if you go out, you always have to give the owner a face. directly killed people, and everyone's face couldn't be hung up.
This disposition is just right.
Even if it is passed on, it is the responsibility of the quartermaster himself. Military supplies are shoddy, and it is impossible to overestimate the fact that they are just beaten up.
Although it was beaten badly, it didn't hurt much. The bear of the earth is successful, and it is normal that he can't grasp the severity.
People can discuss slowly, but it doesn't mean that Warcraft also needs to discuss. Dare to deduct the rations of the Warcraft, deserve the bad luck of this unknown quartermaster.
It's embarrassing to think about it, I started too fast just now, and I forgot to ask the name of the unlucky guy.
Hudson led the supplies and patted his ass and left, but the bureaucrats in logistics exploded.
I haven't seen such arrogance for many years, and I just don't take their logistics department seriously.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm dumbfounded when I check.
The "guest army", people came to help, and they were not subject to the military law of the Principality of Moxi at all.
It's just a quartermaster being beaten, such a trivial matter, even if it is a trouble, it is likely to be a big thing and a small matter.
The most important thing is that they committed a taboo and distributed moldy grain as military rations, which could not be put on the table.
If there is really a trouble, Hudson, as a meritorious man, is not unlucky, I don't know, anyway, there are a large group of people in the logistics department who will be unlucky first.
The Earl of Sanford, who was in charge of front-line logistics, was now gloomy.
If you dare to make trouble like this, it is clear that you are not the master to be provoked.
Now it's not a question of whether their logistics department will find trouble with others, but whether Hudson will continue to make trouble.
Distributing moldy grain to the guest army as military quartermasters, this kind of thing is causing trouble, and that is a proper diplomatic event.
Falling into the eyes of the Alpha Kingdom is a lack of attention to them.
Now the Principality of Moxi is counting on reinforcements from various countries to save his life. If there is such a thing, then you have to give an explanation!
Although many powerful people in the principality have a share in the benefits of military supplies, the board is down, and it is he, the person in charge, who is responsible for the blame.
"Gio, is that idiot dead?"
Earl Sanford asked angrily.
Deep down, he had greeted the bastard's entire family countless times.
It's just a good thing to reap the benefits in normal times, but you have to brighten your eyes a little!
Others may be concerned about the network of contacts involved in the logistics department, and worry about offending the wrong people.
The guest army from outside the country is not mixed in the Duchy 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.
is in a hurry, and people directly pick on the battlefield.
made a mess, and the Principality of Moxi had to clean it up by itself.
"Your Excellency, poor Viscount Gio has just been rescued, and is in a very bad state.
According to the priest, it was the bear that was too badly wounded, hurting his vitality and consuming too much life force.
Unless we can find a treasure to restore vitality, our Viscount Gio will probably not have a few years to live. ”
Listening to the words of the chief of the guard, the Earl of Sanford slapped the table and snorted coldly:
"Humph!"
"At this juncture, this fool is still alive, it is simply a shame for the nobility of the principality!"
It's all true, and Sanford really wants this subordinate to die now.
If Viscount Gio had died on the spot, the matter would have been resolved.
Killing a nobleman is also a big deal. The two sides have each other's handles in their hands, and they just cover up the matter and it's over.
It's a pity that Viscount Gio survived, then everything turned out different.
Beating a corrupt nobleman is not a crime at all. If you want to get rid of the pot, you have to be willing to accept it from the Alpha Kingdom.
Although the two countries need each other now, the Alpha Kingdom is obviously on the stronger side and has a heavier right to speak.
Killing people and killing people, the Earl of Sanford didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to carry it out.
The assassination of nobles is a very taboo thing.
There are too many people who know that Viscount Gio is alive, and the impact of exterminating them all is too great.
Once the news leaks, he will have to be finished, and no matter how big the backstage is, he can't cover it.
Seeing this scene, the chief of the guard on the side immediately realized that something was wrong.
In the past, when the officers of the logistics department clashed with the front-line officers over the distribution of military supplies, the Earl of Sanford supported his own people.
In the face of the front-line officers, no matter how big they were, he had never been so alarmed. Only this time he was furious, and it was clear that something was wrong.
Realizing this, the chief of the guard directly observed a moment of silence for Viscount Gio.
Just about to make a big profit, I hit the hardest iron plate.
Not only is there no hope of revenge, but even whether you can spend the rest of your life safely has become an unknown.
In an instant, he had made a decision to cut off the soon-to-be-finished Viscount Gio.
It's just a pity that the generous gift I received just now didn't have time to open it to see what it was, and now I have to return it.
"Your Excellency, now that the matter has happened, it is useless to hold accountable.
The crux of the matter lies with Earl Hudson, and if he can be silenced, this time it would have been as if nothing had happened.
The disaster was caused by Viscount Gio, and naturally he should be responsible for the aftermath.
If he can't handle this, we'll spend a favor and ask Viscount Raquel to make peace. ”
It's not a matter of conscience, it's mainly that you have to do things after receiving the gift, which is a matter of principle.
Even if you can't do it and return the gift in the end, you have to try it first.
Viscount Gio can buy him as the head of the guard, and he can also buy others.
There are never secrets in the logistics department, and if Viscount Gio knows that he is not doing anything, and he is bitten out by breaking the jar, it will be a big trouble.
Anyway, now that he has given the idea, as for whether Viscount Gio can seize the opportunity, it has nothing to do with him.
……
In the camp, Marshal Hodge was fighting at night.
As a front-line commander, it is common to have busy affairs to deal with every day.
After approving the last official document, Marshal Hodge slowly raised his head and asked the adjutant on the side:
"I heard that the famous Earl Hudson had a conflict with the Logistics Department, where is it now?"
I have to admit that the speed of messaging in the barracks is fast.
Before the day was over, not only the officials of the logistics department received the news, but even the commander-in-chief of the front line also knew.
It was clear from Marshal Hodge's questioning that he wanted to make a big news.
The problem of logistical corruption in the Principality of Moxi has plagued the military for many years.
It's just that the interests involved in it are too complicated, even if he is now the commander-in-chief of the front line, Hodge does not have the confidence to take off this cancer.
Not daring to move yourself does not mean that you do not want others to move.
As a guest army, the Riteshire Regiment has nothing to do with these interest groups at all, and is undoubtedly a good chess piece.
When it comes to the logistics of reinforcements, once the matter gets bigger, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably step in.
At that time, it will become a matter between two countries, and it will even attract the attention of more countries, and it will be impossible to cover it if you want to cover it again.
In the face of the general trend, it is not something that one interest group can bear.
Pulling out this cancer is definitely a great thing for the Duchy of Moxi.
"Marshal, Earl Hudson has returned to the barracks since the day's troubles, as if he had not taken it seriously at all.
The injured Viscount Gio was rescued by the priest. It's just that the state is a little bad, and I'm afraid I can only retire early.
The logistics department was a little complicated, and some officials were clamoring for revenge, but they were scolded by Earl Sanford to the point of blood.
It is estimated that he wants to deal with it coldly, and then retaliate after the turmoil has passed. ”
Listening to the adjutant's words, Marshal Hodge laughed, then shook his head and said:
"Harley, you're wrong this time.
The handle fell into the hands of others, and Sanford's old fox did not have the courage to retaliate.
What's more, even if he wants revenge, what can he do?
Is it possible that you dare not send supplies to the Lyteshire Legion?
Don't say that if you don't send supplies, even if it's just a few days late, the Alpha Kingdom will protest to the royal capital.
When it comes to the life and death of the kingdom, the king will pursue it, but the board will hit himself.
If I'm not mistaken, he's probably busy figuring out ways to turn big things into small things and small things right now.
After all, it is better to lose face than to lose your life. ”
The interest groups involved in logistics are indeed large, but these vested interests just want to reap the benefits, but they are not prepared to drag the Principality of Moxi to hell.
Even if they reap benefits in ordinary times, most of them are shoddy, and no one is stupid enough to take them all, so that the officers and soldiers on the front line will go hungry.
They didn't drive people to a dead end, which is why they have been able to make a fortune all the time.
In addition, watching people serve food is also a compulsory course.
Generally speaking, the main army of the principality can receive eighty or ninety percent of the logistics materials, and it is not surprising that some strong generals will get the full share.
The really unlucky is the cannon fodder corps with a large number of people, their own strength is poor, their voice in the army is not high, and they have no capital to make trouble.
It is enough to withhold the materials of one's own people.
The reinforcements of the Latshire Legion, which are not easy to provoke at first glance, are obviously not in the category of materials that can be deducted.
Looking at the situation along the way, you can see that the officials responsible for providing supplies along the way, no one dares to play tricks.
To be able to do this, it is obvious that the interest groups behind it did not have the idea of fighting this part of the material. When this kind of problem arises at the front line, it is clear that some people are making their own claims.
The interest groups behind it did not take advantage of it, so naturally they would not stand up for them.
If something happens, a group of logistics bureaucrats, including the Earl of Sanford, will have to bear the consequences themselves.
Seeing all this, Marshal Hodge soon became worried again.
The Lyteshire Legion is a good sword, but he's not a knife wielder.
To make Hudson mess up, he still lacks enough chips in his hands.
Although the name of the commander-in-chief of the front line is resounding, under the many checks and balances, his actual power has not reached the point of being a word.
……
In the camp, Hudson, who was eating a big meal, had no idea that he had inadvertently been caught in the whirlpool of power struggle.
The daytime is just a small episode in life. If he hadn't wanted to be powerful, he could have solved the problem in a more civilized way.
For example, on the grounds that the Quartermaster Department distributed moldy food, it was announced that the Lyteshire Regiment had been neglected at the front line, and directly resigned and left.
Forcing away reinforcements from the front line, such a major political event, is not something that the bureaucrats of the logistics department can bear.
Just take a stand, and keep the greedy bureaucrats to death.
Another example: talking about the diplomatic rhetoric agreed upon by the two countries, and putting on a big hat that tears up the alliance, can also make the quartermaster obedient.
So many civilized means were not used, but the most violent means were adopted to solve the problem, which was also the bad luck of the quartermaster.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, Viscount Gio is here."
After listening to the words of the chief of the guard, Hudson's mind kept recalling, but he still couldn't find any memory of Viscount Gio.
If you don't have an impression, that means you're not a friend.
When a stranger came to visit, he didn't have the time to receive it, so he waved his hand and said:
"Tell Viscount Gio, just say that I am not free now, and I will tell you directly if I have something.
In the future, when you encounter such strange visitors, you will always deal with them like this.
The exception is, of course, some well-known figures, or nobles of earls and above. ”
If it were in the Alpha Kingdom, Hudson would certainly not be so snobbish, but this is the Duchy of Moxi.
Making friends with the same group of small and medium-sized nobles is purely meaningless socialization, and it has no effect on future development.
The premise of Corporal Lixian is still based on value.
With that spare time, Hudson would rather catch up with his knights than befriend a strange viscount.
"Your Excellency, Viscount Gio outside is the quartermaster during the day. Looking at the large number of gifts he carried, it seemed that he had come to make amends. ”
Hearing this unexpected answer, Hudson was a little confused.
Thinking of Viscount Gio's tough appearance during the day, he thought it was a big deal. How did you get beaten and soften so quickly.
Traditionally, those who can act as quartermasters are related households.
When there is a conflict, it is generally to fight the small one, provoke the old one, and then brush up the experience along the way.
Even the difficulties and conflicts that will occur later, Hudson has prepared ways to deal with them, and the result is actually this kind of drama of reparation, which is really unexpected.
"Bring him in!"
