"Your Excellency, you are magnanimous. Such a good opportunity, I actually let go of the Lockonard family! ”

Listening to Marquis James's words, Hudson laughed and said, "Your Excellency, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of logistics deficit.

Everything should be based on the overall situation, and personal grievances can be put aside and put aside. ”

Deep down, he had already rolled his eyes secretly. Fuck the big picture, if he could kill the Lockonards, he would have done it a long time ago.

At the meeting just now, don't look at everyone's loud noise, but all the interests are asking the Locknad family to compensate for the losses, and they don't have any intention of killing them at all.

Everyone understands people, and judging from the reaction of the Terran Alliance, everyone knows that the Lockonard family is most likely calculated this time.

A little bit of sanity, to report their own coach is also done secretly, who would be stupid enough to publicly bring it up in the parliament?

In the face of unjustified disasters, the Lockonard family will not be guilty of death, even if they are responsible. Mixing in the same circle, everyone will naturally not do things absolutely.

After gaining insight into the thoughts of the nobles, Hudson naturally would not let them get their wish.

If it is really forced to continue, the Duke of Pias is forced to accept the deficit of everyone under pressure, and then it will become the uncle who owes the debt.

As long as the huge debt is not repaid, everyone will not watch the Lockonard family have an accident. With only a symbolic repayment every year, they are invincible.

"Your Excellency, your generosity may not be appreciated. The Northland gang guys are used to being greedy, and this time they must have reached out a lot, and according to normal operation, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to fill the hole.

If they take risks and make some more trouble, I'm afraid you will also be implicated! ”

Marquis James said worriedly.

It's impossible to worry about Hudson. If he could pull Hudson off the horse this time, he would only be happy to see it.

Although the Lockonard family provoked this incident, the Northland nobles have always been regarded as a whole, and if they are really investigated, Duke Cavadia will not be able to escape the blame.

The eldest and second in the army are finished together, and as the position of the third substitute coach, it is also a logical thing.

It's a pity that it's not that simple. Knowing that the Alliance's investigation team is coming for the Alpha Kingdom, they can hide it from others, but they can't get Caesar III.

The king ordered them to settle the problem before the mission arrived.

Compared to Hudson and the Duke of Cavadia, who are more autonomous, James has no confidence to refuse to carry out. It is not only necessary to solve the problem, but also to solve it beautifully.

At the meeting just now, Hudson did solve the problem, but it also left hidden dangers.

In the view of Marquis James, since the strategic materials are insufficient and destined to be unable to plug the hole, then a large scapegoat will be launched and the responsibility will be taken for it.

Duke Pias, who provoked the anger of the public, is undoubtedly the best candidate and the most able choice to save the face of the kingdom.

"It doesn't matter! The deficit below is so big, I, the manager, don't know anything, and I should take responsibility.

This is my resignation, and I have decided to resign to His Majesty the King and take responsibility for this poor regulation! ”

Hudson bit the word "poor supervision" very hard. The implication is obvious: his problem is that the supervision is not effective, and it is impossible to take the blame.

The entire logistics department has millions of soldiers and civilians under its jurisdiction, and if there is no problem, it is a real problem.

With such a great logistical pressure on the front line, it is already very difficult to maintain the normal operation of the logistics system, and it would be too much to find faults.

Even the Coalition Parliament's investigative team could not have dealt with a highly decorated commander just because Hudson had someone under him who was selling munitions.

If you really want to play like that, then no one will dare to lead the troops. Originally, it was a team composed of aristocratic private armies, and each of them had a lot of autonomy, and it was impossible for anyone to completely restrain the younger brother below.

Just because the coach is okay doesn't mean the deputy coach is okay. If someone else really needs to be responsible, the Marquis James is more likely to suffer from unwarranted disasters.

"Your Excellency, this must not be done! This incident is not your responsibility in the first place, how can you resign because of this!

I think it's better to try to solve the problem now, if it can't be solved, let the Duke of Pias take charge of it, you don't have to suffer for others! ”

Marquis James said nervously.

Having been on the front for so long, he knew how complicated the situation was in the army, and if Hudson backed down at this time, he would not be able to fight the Duke of Cavadia.

Seeing this, Hudson only smiled slightly. The resignation still has to be submitted, and it is a matter of attitude. Approve it or not, that's the king's business.

Theoretically, now everyone has to rush to buy strategic materials to fill the holes, and the black market should be very out of stock.

But the actual situation is not as serious as everyone imagined. I don't dare to guarantee whether all the holes can be plugged, at least it can make most of the nobles get out.

Deliberately creating the illusion of a serious shortage of goods is naturally to take the opportunity to sell the strategic materials in hand at a good price, and by the way, it can also weaken the financial strength of competitors.

Hudson did not participate in the reselling of military supplies, which does not mean that he did not take advantage of the opportunity. For example, using the logistics system to carry private goods.

The materials that the great nobles were responsible for transporting were indeed strategic materials on the front line. However, a large part of the strategic materials escorted by the army brought by Hudson were private goods.

They are all strategic materials, all mixed together, and the people below don't know that the materials they escort are also mixed with the boss's private goods.

Even if there is an accident on the road, it is always the strategic materials of the coalition forces that are lost, not his private goods.

Falling into the eyes of the outside world, watching strategic materials come in and out, it is natural to suspect that Hudson is reselling military supplies. It's normal to be reported.

It's a pity that Hudson's warehouse materials for the coalition army have always been in line with the accounts. Even if there is a discrepancy, the error is within the normal range.

The only flaw lies in the chamber of commerce that provides strategic materials. However, everyone shared the money together, and no one had any reason to jump out and smash their own business.

Even if someone is stabbed out, the crime of carrying smuggled goods is much lighter than reselling military supplies.

Hudson, as the coach, stepped down in ashes at best. If you are lucky, you can still stay in office and make meritorious contributions.

But the businessmen who participated in it had to be sent to the gallows. It's useless to find someone to intercede, this is the world of the aristocracy, and the rules of the game are all for the aristocratic group.

……

The meeting of the logistics department ended, and the trading market suddenly became lively. A group of nobles in the logistics system have joined the wave of rushing to buy strategic materials.

Everyone's nerves are tense at the moment. Even if the supplies have been grabbed, they still send heavy troops to escort them one by one, lest someone rob the road halfway without following the rules.

In order to ensure the safety of logistics and transportation routes, Hudson also applied to the coalition command to send additional air patrol forces.

In fact, the probability of this kind of thing happening is still very low.

It is easy to rob a convoy, but it is not so simple to transport back the strategic materials that have been stolen.

A long convoy passed by, and it was simply impossible to leave no trace.

Watching the convoy of supplies continue to move in and out, Hudson was in a good mood. Even the sound of the wheels crushing turned into the sound of gold coins colliding in his ears.

……

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shone into the camp, and Hudson, who had just gotten up, met a group of relatives and friends who came to the door.

Obviously, this is the result of the fermentation of news. The big nobles are busy filling in the holes, and it is inevitable that the task will be pressed down layer by layer.

Theoretically speaking, the big nobles have to pay joint and several liability for the deficit of the nobles under their command, but in practice, few small and medium-sized nobles dare to directly put it in the mess, waiting for the boss to help fill the hole and deal with the aftermath.

You are responsible for solving the problems you have done by yourself. The fact that the logistical system is functioning properly is enough to prove that most of the nobility is clean.

Of course, they can't be clean if they don't want to. If you want to resell military supplies, not everyone is eligible to participate. The vast majority of the little nobles have no chance to stretch out their hands.

Those who really participated in the resale of military supplies were either relatives and friends of the great nobles, or their cronies. Only these people have a chance to get a fat difference.

As a manager, Hudson is not immune. Although he restrained his own people, he could not restrain his relatives and friends.

The people in front of them were actually affected by the pond fish. It was originally a pit dug for the Dalton family, and many small and medium-sized nobles in the southeastern provinces also followed the passive move.

Now that the East Window incident has happened, everyone can only come over for help.

Looking at the faces of shame on everyone's faces, Hudson was very satisfied in his heart, but his face was still gloomy and terrible.

"You guys are really bold enough. Dare to participate in this kind of thing, or I'm really not afraid of death!

Nonsense, I won't listen. Let's talk about how big the hole you have made, and then I know what to do next! ”

As he spoke, Hudson turned his gaze to Viscount Oran. Among the gang of people in front of him, he is the closest to his father-in-law.

The matter of the investigation team was also the first letter to be reported. Although it doesn't have much substance, this love still has to be received.

"Unfortunately for the family, the Holliser family lost seven hundred pieces of armor, one thousand and two spears, one hundred and fifty tons of grain, five hundred pounds of salt, five thousand feet of cloth, and thirty-six thousand arrows......

Among them, I can find a way to make up for five hundred. The grain can also be slowly squeezed out of it, but the remaining strategic supplies, alas! ”

Viscount Oran said bitterly.

He didn't stretch out his hand, why didn't the people of the Nai tribe give their strength. A little carelessly, he poked out the basket. The armor can be replenished by five hundred, and that is all taken from the soldiers of their own homes.

It's also a tragedy to think about, with so little material in total, the Holliser family was stumped.

If you leave it in the nest, you can make it up casually. It's a pity that this is the front line, and it's not that if you have money, you can have supplies.

It seems that the trading market is very prosperous, but in order to make everyone pay willingly, it is still hunger marketing.

In order to make the play more like, in recent days, people from major chambers of commerce have been running to the front line of the coalition forces every day.

Those who don't know it still think that the materials on the black market are really pulled out of the hands of the front-line coalition forces.

It is true that some have been poured out of the front, but that is only a very small minority. Knowing that the investigation team was coming, the nobles on the front line were afraid that something would go wrong.

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much. If the Holliser family only has such a small gap, as long as they are willing to spend money, it should not be difficult to fill the hole! ”

seems to be opening his mouth to comfort, but in fact he is drawing a line for everyone. The meaning is very obvious, he can think of a way to make materials, but everyone has to pay for the money themselves.

Favors, Hudson has to sell, but money also has to be earned.

The price is still the price on the market, it is nothing more than a relationship with him, and he can get the goods in the shortest possible time.

"Hudson, I'm embarrassing you this time. To tell you the truth, I went to the trading center for a walk, and now the major chambers of commerce are out of stock.

Even if there is some inventory, it is not something that everyone can buy. I'm afraid you'll have to take a lot of favors this time! ”

Viscount Oran's words made Hudson listen very comfortably. Obviously, the old man heard the meaning of his words, and deliberately cooperated with him to set up a stage.

The nobles who originally wanted to use their connections to make some bargains have changed their minds at this moment.

In the context of short supply, if you want to get the goods, you have to take advantage of the favor, and then expect to buy a bargain, it will be too boring.

In the aristocratic world, the most expensive thing is always a favor debt, and the bigger the person, the more stingy he owes favors.

"It's all my own family, and these are the things that should be done. Your Excellency, you don't have to take this to heart.

Let's all talk about our own situation, and Hudson will do his best if he can help.

Tom, take a pen and paper to take notes! ”

As soon as the words landed, many nobles who heard the meaning of the words suddenly turned bitter.

It is appropriate for your family to help, and if you are not your own family, you will naturally have to talk about the exchange of interests.

is also a favor, Hudson's favor and theirs favor are not of the same grade.

All the nobles present can indeed be related to the Coslow family, but most of them are too far away.

At least two-thirds of the nobles, Hudson couldn't name each other, and he didn't know what it was.

If he hadn't come along, it was unknown whether he would have been able to enter his tent. After all, the threshold for the Shuai camp is already high.

As the nobles continued to report their homes and material shortages, Hudson's face gradually became ugly.

I don't know where these guys got the courage, some of them have no strength or connections, and they dare to learn from others to resell military supplies.

I can't help but stretch out my hand, but I'm still so greedy. There are as many as seven more holes than the Holliser family.

Looking at the accumulated list, Hudson said angrily: "Everyone's material shortfall has been counted." Whether I can buy them all, I can't guarantee it.

You all know the rules of the black market. There's no such thing as credit, so get your money ready!

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, tomorrow morning, I will help you make appointments with people from the major chambers of commerce.

The current situation, it is estimated that everyone knows in their hearts, everything is decided by the seller, and the buyer has no room for bargaining! ”

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, Hudson has it! But he couldn't have said it himself.

If you want him to advance the funds, there is also a price to pay. What you need to pay depends on what you have.

They were all aristocrats, and Hudson was not afraid of being repaid by everyone. If you can't pay it back, isn't there still a fief?

It is impossible to annex a fief, but as a creditor, it is reasonable to take the proceeds of the fief.

……

"Four, the current situation is a little bad, those chambers of commerce in the trading center seem to be deliberately targeting us!

They took other people's orders, but when they got orders from several of us, they were suddenly out of stock! ”

As he spoke, Duke Argiellon also deliberately glanced at Duke Kavadia and Duke Pias.

For this situation to occur, there is a high probability that it is the pot of these two. Who told them to target Hudson and ask for a raid on the black market?

With such a big hatred, I still want to buy goods from others, and it is only a problem not to be troubled.

At this moment, the two of them also had bitter words, thinking that with the help of everyone's pressure, they could force Hudson to give up the black market.

How did I plan it well, but when it came to the actual implementation, new problems arose.

Hudson had close ties to the black market, as did the nobles of the coalition. But this kind of thing can't be said on the table after all.

If everyone worked together, it was not impossible to check it, but unfortunately everyone was not as united as they expected.

After learning that the black market was short of supplies and that the coalition nobles on the front line had to cooperate in order to hope to make up for the material gap, everyone was instantly intimidated.

It is also greedy for ink to resell military supplies, but the situation faced by everyone is completely different. Not all the great nobles are so greedy, desperately squishing into their own bowls.

Most of the nobles have moderation, the gap is not so big, and the purchase of a batch of materials can fill the hole. I can't go on an adventure with them.

"Businessmen are profit-seeking and deliberately make things difficult for us, just to take the opportunity to raise prices!

I'm afraid, they really don't have the goods in their hands now, and they're not just making things difficult for us.

For the sake of today, we can only do our best. If you really can't plug the hole, then you can only ......

It's better not to take that step. If it is really done, no matter how clean it is, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be detected. ”

Duke Cavadia said with a gloomy face.

He was struck by Hudson this time. If it weren't for Hudson's long-term indulgence, which made him relax his vigilance, he would definitely not be so easily led by the nose by the other party.

"Pias, a dragon attacked your Lockonard family some time ago, do you find out where it came from?

If it really comes to the last step, this dragon may be able to take advantage of it! ”

Duke Dias's words seemed to open a new window for everyone.

It's easy to be found out and goofed by making accidents by yourself, but what if an accident really happens?
