Chapter 311 Investigative Team vs Burning Warehouse Case

Chapter 311 The investigation team vs the burning case

Help is endless. Ever since Hudson solved the shortfall of the first group of relatives and friends, his handsome camp has never been idle.

Some relationships that were impossible to reach, all showed their abilities and leaned over. There is a constant stream of people coming and going every day.

Business is always to be done, but it seems to be a lot more difficult. In many cases, materials are not available, and everyone needs to find a way from other places.

Human affection, the harder it is to express, the more grateful it will be. Hudson, who is familiar with the world, will not take care of everything at this time.

The sense of urgency of being out of stock is constantly stimulating the nerves of the nobles. The nobleman who placed the order first filled the hole first.

The aristocrats who reacted a step slower will be miserable. Under the background of “out of stock” in the market, they have to use their own unique tricks.

If there is a shortage of food, let the soldiers under your command eat less; if the number of soldiers is insufficient, then draw them from your army.

In order to make up the number, some nobles even got through the relationship and paid in advance the food and grass for the soldiers under their command for the next three months.

Regarding these small actions, Hudson directly chose to turn a blind eye and close one eye. No matter how you say it, everyone’s spirit of making up for the deficit at any cost is still commendable.

“Count, the people from the Kingdom Investigation Team have arrived at the camp. The leader of the team this time is the Minister of Military Affairs, Archduke Efiero. Judging from the posture, I am afraid that the visitor is not friendly!”

Tom reported nervously.

Without even saying hello, they rushed directly into the camp, obviously wanting to make a surprise attack on them.

Hudson was not surprised by this situation. Now that he has been reported for corrupting ink and reselling military supplies, the investigation team naturally needs to be quick.

Maybe the current team is only on the surface. There is also a team behind the scenes, which has already come to the front line to intervene in the investigation.

“Please!”

While speaking, Hudson had already got up and walked out of the handsome camp. The Minister of Military Affairs leads the team himself, and he must give enough face.

…

Looking from a distance, Hudson immediately greeted a familiar figure in the crowd.

“Dear Duke Afiero, welcome!”

Looking at the enthusiasm, it doesn’t look like being investigated at all, but more like meeting old friends.

This is still the result of a sudden attack. If there is an advance notice, the main generals in the army will come to greet them.

“Earl Hudson, you are too polite! I really dare not accept this sincere welcome.

Come here now, just to find fault with you. If something goes wrong, don’t blame me. ”

Grand Duke Afiero said with a smile.

With a hearty voice, it is difficult to make people feel bad. Even though he knew he was here to investigate him, Hudson was not angry.

“Grand Duke, you are joking. Hudson has been conscientious since he took office, and he dare not be negligent in the slightest. How can he be afraid of investigations!

The Grand Duke came to investigate this time, just to restore my innocence, to wash away the dirty water thrown by the treacherous villain.

However, after the problem of reselling military supplies is found out, I hope that the Grand Duke can conduct an in-depth investigation and find out the villain behind the scenes.

My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line cannot bear this humiliation! ”

Hudson said righteously.

Losing is not losing, everyone has already started to fill in the shortfall. Dragging the investigation team here first can be regarded as buying time for everyone.

Although this is an investigation by his own people, it is of little practical significance, but as the coach of the army, Hudson still hopes that the problems exposed by his subordinates will be smaller.

“The Earl of Hudson said well!

The principle of the investigation team this time is: do not wrong a good person, and do not let a bad person go.

No matter who is responsible, we will investigate to the end and will never let anyone involved!

In order not to leave an opportunity for the corrupt elements to take advantage of, Earl Hudson is troubled to bring up the accounts, and we will immediately start to check the accounts and check the inventory! ”

Grand Duke Afiero said without a doubt.

The smell of gunpowder at the scene suddenly became stronger. He didn’t even participate in the Connecting Wind Banquet, so he started to check the accounts directly, obviously to make trouble.

Hudson had expected this kind of change. Not to be envied by others is a mediocrity, and a young coach like him is destined to inevitably attract hatred.

For the king, his handsome talent needs to be reused and constantly polished to remove the edges and corners.

Now Grand Duke Efiero is playing the role of a villain. When the problem is found out, the king will come out to be a good person and help him to buy people’s hearts.

Similar imperial routines, Hudson has seen countless times in history books, so naturally he will not be angry with Grand Duke Afiero.

“Okay, let’s do it according to the Grand Duke’s wishes. However, there are too many accounts in the army, and each army has its own logistics and transportation area, and the accounts are also accounted for separately.

If they all move over, it will take a while to check. Why don’t we start with the area I’m in charge of, and Tom sent someone to fetch the department’s accounts.

Except for a few transfer stations on the front line that have a small amount of stock in stock, most of the logistics materials that my headquarters are directly responsible for transporting are in this camp.

For the sake of convenience, I suggest that the investigation team directly take the photo album and check it with the materials in the camp. ”

After hearing Hudson’s words, many members of the investigation team were dumbfounded. There are not many coaches who can cooperate like this.

Aristocrats are arrogant, and being investigated if they are not trusted is a disgrace to many nobles. Even if there is no problem, they will resist the investigation to vent their dissatisfaction.

Suddenly met a master who didn’t play cards according to the routine, and Grand Duke Afiero didn’t know whether to be happy or annoyed.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the young coach in front of him; but reason told him that since Hudson dared to let go of all the restrictions and let them investigate, they would definitely not find anything now.

Combined with the information collected before, he knew that even if Hudson had resold military supplies, he had now made up the hole.

It must be a good thing for the Alpha Kingdom that the problem of the coach cannot be found out, which means that the report is non-existent.

But for the royal family, this is another matter.

Hudson is a result of his own hard work under the circumstances, not the “own man” cultivated by the king.

If you can’t grasp the opponent’s handle, you want to grind away the opponent’s edges and corners by beating, and then find a way to subdue the opponent slowly, which is basically not operable.

After contemplating for a moment, Grand Duke Alfiero said calmly: “Just do what Earl Hudson wants!”

It doesn’t matter if he can’t be caught, anyway, he doesn’t want to be this villain. After all, Hudson’s age is enough to spend many years in the military.

If he really offended someone to death, he himself certainly doesn’t care, but future generations have to think about it.

The boring work of auditing accounts began, and one warehouse after another was constantly being opened, all of which were filled with supplies.

Under the checks of detection magic, no abnormalities were found. Not to mention being greedy for ink and reselling military supplies, even the normal loss of supplies was well controlled.

…

The investigative team arrived ahead of schedule and began to check the accounts. Like a storm, it quickly swept through the entire logistics department.

Typical family happy and sad.

The nobles who made up the gap have turned into melon-eaters at this moment, just waiting to see the jokes of their colleagues.

The nobles whose deficit was too great to fill the gap were already stomping their feet in a hurry.

Various methods to deal with inspections are constantly being invented, and it depends on whether they can stand the inspection.

Northern noble camp, the faces of all the nobles are gloomy and terrifying at this moment.

It’s really uncomfortable to watch a group of colleagues gather supplies, or they are gathering supplies, but they are the only ones who are in trouble.

After entrusting favors to make peace, and paying a 30% premium over the market price, the chamber of commerce finally accepted the order. Unfortunately, they were ranked last.

To put it simply: if there are any remaining strategic materials, sell them; if they don’t, they will be unlucky.

This wave did not suspect Hudson. The main reason is that the Dalton family has also purchased enough strategic materials.

From the perspective of the outside world, if Hudson is leading all this behind the scenes, he will definitely not do things for the enemy. As competitors, the Dalton family will definitely be targeted to death.

The passive situation in front of them is more like the deliberate revenge of the major chambers of commerce against them.

“The current situation is very unfavorable to us. I don’t know how much each of you has left. Anyway, in order to make up for the material gap, all the connections that the Felix family can mobilize have already been mobilized.

Even I sent people to collect strategic materials from mercenaries, but unfortunately it was still a drop in the bucket.

Although the relationship with the frontline coalition forces has been established, they are more willing to cooperate with those profiteers.

But those profiteers still have a grudge against us, none of them took our order seriously.

This is also my responsibility. Not only underestimated Hudson before, but also underestimated the strength of the businessman, which caused the current situation. ”

Duke Cavadia reviewed with a depressed face.

This wave was really taught a lesson. Before that, he had no idea that the last bad thing was actually a group of businessmen.

Originally thought that with their strength, they would completely skip these middlemen and directly deal with the major forces on the front line.

It’s a pity that everything is too beautiful. It is true that the mainland nobles are a family, but everyone has their own little calculations, and it is impossible to follow their plans.

If it was before, as long as the price is right, it doesn’t matter if everyone cooperates. But now that the alliance investigation team is about to arrive, no one wants to touch that bad luck.

Even if the relationship between one or two big nobles is established, it is just a false report of the war damage, and there are not many strategic materials that can be traded.

If they were caught by chance and found out together, they would be ruined.

In contrast, with more businessmen doing turnover, everything becomes different.

“Check”, that is, it was shipped from the rear. Major chambers of commerce can even provide the source of goods, and export data can be found at ports in various countries.

As for how they were able to cross the vast prairie and transport a large amount of strategic materials to the front line, that is a commercial secret.

“Kavadia, things have happened, and holding people accountable won’t solve the problem.

The Felix family has not been able to smooth out the deficit, and we are naturally powerless.

Let alone the small and medium-sized nobles who are attached to our family. One by one, they are either already broken or on the way to being broken.

If it wasn’t for the Koslow family’s lack of background and inability to reach out to the Frankish Kingdom, I would suspect that all of this was deliberately designed by Hudson, just waiting for us to jump into the pit.

Counting the transportation tasks performed by several of our companies, all of them are full of difficulties and obstacles, and none of them have had it easy.

Every time we ship strategic materials, we only need to sign and ship, and even the most basic demand check is omitted.

Obviously, it is deliberately guiding us to reach out to logistics materials. But if the logistics headquarters pay attention, no one dares to go too far!

I very much doubt that Hudson cooperated with a certain big force to jointly plan this political conspiracy against our northern nobles.

Based on the current situation, the most suspicious person is our King. Otherwise, the Kingdom Investigation Team would not have come so quickly.

Regardless of the fact that they are busy investigating Hudson at the moment, I bet the final result of the investigation is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.

Maybe in addition to the investigation team on the surface, there is also a secret investigation team that sneaked in early to collect evidence against us in secret. ”

The more you brainstorm, the more reasonable Duke Dias thinks.

Caesar III directly endured the assassination of the king not long ago, and did not take any strong actions.

For a monarch, if he keeps holding back and making no moves, he is holding back his big move.

As the most unstable political group in the kingdom and the number one suspect, Caesar III has enough reasons to take them into action.

Reporting to the Human Race Alliance certainly made the Alpha Kingdom very embarrassed. But the intervention of the alliance investigation team also made them lose the confidence to overturn the table.

There are so many human troops on the front line, no matter what the final result is, they can only choose to bear it.

Several people looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically. If it was really the king’s handwriting, once the other party caught the handle, then their life and death would be unpredictable.

Maybe Caesar III will take the opportunity to be ruthless and send them to meet the Lord of Dawn directly on the grounds of reselling military supplies.

If you don’t want to take the initiative to be a decent person, you won’t be able to keep your dignity in the end.

Dare to make trouble, the king can completely use the power of the human race alliance to uproot the families behind them.

“no!

We cannot sit still!

Regardless of whether this is Caesar III’s plan behind the scenes, he will never let us go with such a good opportunity!

The crime of reselling military supplies can be borne by other nobles in the kingdom, but we are the only ones who will die.

Let’s take extraordinary measures. At this time, I don’t care so much.

An accident happened, at most it was our incompetence. At worst, he would lose his post in the army, be fined a huge sum of money, and then be driven home to retire.

After a few years of silence, I can make a comeback. ”

Duke Pias said with a guilty conscience.

The others are just suspects in the assassination case, but he is a real participant. Although he didn’t carry it out personally, it was manipulated behind the scenes.

Although it was done very covertly, who can guarantee that Caesar III will not find out about him?

After all, this kind of thing does not require tangible evidence. As long as there are signs that he was involved, that’s enough.

“Forget it, tell the Red Dragon to take action!”

Duke Cavadia said cruelly.

Of course he doesn’t want to wear the hat of “incompetence”. But the Felix family can’t afford to gamble now. If his pillar is broken, the next generation will not be able to support the current family business.

…

A flame that was tens of meters long sprayed out, and everywhere it went was a sea of ​​flames. The blazing flames continued to devour all directions.

Countless soldiers guarding the warehouse were frightened by this tragic scene and fled in all directions, wishing their parents would have two more legs.

Watching helplessly that the camp fell into chaos, the masters of the army did not show up to stop it, and even the high-level generals did not come out to organize soldiers to fight back, completely allowing the red dragon to plunder.

Maxim, who watched countless human soldiers fleeing below and set fire to the ground, was very satisfied. This is the life of a giant dragon, and the previous failures were purely accidental.

Deep in his heart, he has despised the human race countless times. Because of internal struggles, someone paid him to come over and burn his own barracks, which is nothing short of ridiculous.

But because the other party’s bid was high enough, he didn’t care about it. After all, it is really hard to find such a big boss.

Spewing flames for a while, throwing a big fireball for a while, Maxim was in the camp, having a great time playing.

The five dukes who were hiding in the dark watching the battle were bleeding from distress. They just hired the dragon to burn the warehouse, but they didn’t let the dragon come over to kill people.

It’s a pity that creatures like giant dragons are born to be destructive. There is no need to do anything deliberately, just normal arson will cause huge casualties to the defenders.

The dragon in front of the high-level generals was hired by their own family to destroy the evidence, but the people below didn’t know it, and they were still trying to drive the dragon away.

Maxim is obviously not a good-tempered dragon. If there are “reptiles” who dare to come and harass him, naturally he doesn’t mind rewarding them with a tail!

The fire dragon burning warehouse was carried out along with the killing. Such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of the Griffon cavalry patrolling in the distance, and the news was quickly passed on.

…

“A giant dragon suspected of being the Dragon King attacked the barracks?

Earl Hudson, you are sure you are not joking! ”

Facing the suspicious gaze of Grand Duke Effiero, Hudson immediately explained: “That’s right, Your Excellency the Grand Duke.

This news just came. A huge red dragon attacked the camp of the northern nobles and is currently plundering the barracks.

As far as I know, this is not the first time this dragon has appeared. Before that, they also attacked the lair of the Lochnard family, but they were driven away.

It is indeed a bit strange to come and attack our barracks now. But this question needs to be asked to the deputy commander, Duke Cavadia, who has always been in charge of the military affairs there.

Judging from the intelligence of the Griffin Cavalry scouting, they seemed to have been frightened. There was no effective counterattack organized.

Neither the magic crystal cannon nor the magic crossbow were used, and the dragon was completely left to plunder. And this giant dragon seems to like setting fire very much, every time it catches our warehouse and burns it. ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hudson handed over the rest to Archduke Afiero to make up the rest.

He already knew that the nobles of the Northland would make troubles, but he still didn’t expect that these guys would play the classic “Fire Dragon Burning Cang”.

It’s a pity that their experience is still somewhat lacking, the methods seem too rough, and there are loopholes everywhere.

To do a full set of acting, at least the magic crystal cannon will sound, and the masters in the army must also move, pretending to be struggling to intercept it.

Of course, there are also great risks here. Julong has never been a good actor, and if he accidentally loses his temper, it will turn into a fake show.

“Fire dragons burning warehouses is a rare spectacle on the mainland. Earl Hudson, let’s take people there to see it together, and we will take it as a way to gain knowledge!”

Grand Duke Afiero said with a gloomy face.

It can be seen that he is really angry. No accident earlier, no accident later, but an accident happened at such a juncture. The actions of those northern nobles were clearly an insult to his IQ.

However, under the background that the holes cannot be filled, no matter how insulting the IQ is, it must be done.

It is better to be suspected of reselling military supplies than to be investigated with solid evidence.
