[Fengshi City]

[town Hall]

More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Hegu Village, and the commanders of the coalition forces finally had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the allocation of the results.

Although in the country of galloping horses, everyone knows a proverb: "Don't make a fire before you hit your prey."

But in a sense, the disposal of trophy tests the wisdom of decision makers more than the acquisition of trophy.

Therefore, whether it is Baishan County, Leiqun County, or Bianjiang County, they all take twelve points of attention.

Colonel Geis Adonis, Colonel Skur Mecklen and Lieutenant Colonel Magash Korwin each brought a large number of entourages. In addition to the clerks responsible for handover work, all formal officers who did not have to lie on the hospital bed to recover from injuries were called to boost their momentum, and even some more valued "honor officers" were allowed to attend.

The three parties came to the city hall in a mighty manner, crowding the negotiation venue prepared by Tiefeng County in advance so that there was nowhere to stay.

Seeing this scene, Mason couldn't help but be amazed: "Why are so many people coming?"

Winters was also amused and crying.

Because in addition to the necessary accountants and scribes, only Winters and Mason attended the meeting.

Bard was not present - the real guru Guan was still counting abandoned land and land in Vorne County and organizing the restoration of farming; although Andre was very leisurely every day, he had always hated such snorkels and refused to come no matter what. However, he left behind: "If you fight, remember to call me."

As a representative of the "academic officer" who did not belong to the direct line of Winters within the Tiefeng County Army, but made great contributions, Major Seber also theoretically had the right to attend the trophy distribution meeting.

However, considering Major Seber's unique personality charm, Mason carefully excluded the major from the negotiators, and finally decided to attend the meeting only with Winters and Mason. Major Seber was on standby as a "critical general reserve team".

Therefore, Tiefeng County has only prepared two interoperable conference rooms for this negotiation.

According to Mason's original idea, one room is more than enough for clerks to use and the other room is for representatives from all parties.

The actual scene before Mason was: the people in the conference room had been pressed to the table, and there were still people outside the conference room who could not come in, with their chests facing backs, and their elbows pressed against their elbows. Except for the three school officials, there was still space around the seats of the three school officials, the others were squeezed into a miserable way in the small conference room, and they also tried their best to maintain their demeanor and decent.

So much so that the clerk next door couldn't help but lower his head and smile when he saw these sweaty "official masters".

The three school officials were also a little worried, but no one spoke first.

On the other side of the "empty" conference table, after discussing with Winters, Mason decided to open the auditorium in the city hall and invite Colonel Geisa Adonis, Colonel Skur Mecklen, and Lieutenant Colonel Magash Korwin to rest in the auditorium.

Major Seber, who was on standby, was in an emergency. Major, who had been ready to fight for a long time, rushed to the venue with a stick, and was disappointed when he found it was not a fight. However, as a beauty hunting animal who was once active in the social scene of the Fortress, Seber Carrington was even more comfortable in dealing with this situation.

The major quickly found someone to bring wine and meals, and called all the official officers of the Tiefeng County Army in Fengshi City to accompany them, calmly resolving the small farce.

When the door of the conference room was closed again and the room returned to its quietness and solemnity, Winters finally said the opening remark that he had practiced countless times in his mind.

"Gentlemen." Winters nodded to the three school officials: "Let's talk."

"According to the process of sub-item discussion," Mason cleared his throat, took Winters's speech stick, and said methodically: "Captain Montane and I think it can be divided into three sub-Full Preparation Warehouse in Maple Stone, enemy personnel captured by each unit, and jurisdiction from Vorne County to Jinghu County."

As he said that, Mason nodded to the assistant with a red birthmark on his face behind him. The latter immediately submitted three documents to the three school officials.

"Three Your Excellencies." Mason explained without hesitation: "The materials seized by our troops, captured personnel, and the assets of the new land corps received in Vorne County are all registered in this file, not more than one penny, not more than one penny."

Hearing this, the three school officials couldn't help but look at each other.

Including Colonel Gaisa, the three school officials took it for granted in advance that the meeting was mainly to divide the combat preparations and storage in Fengshi City, but they did not expect that the two young boys gave them a warning from the beginning.

Details on seizing materials, capturing personnel, and receiving legion assets?

Colonel Geisa, Colonel Skur and Lieutenant Colonel Magash did not prepare these things, and it was hard to say whether they could prepare them or not.

The New Reclamation Legion—and even every army established according to Ned Smith’s philosophy—has a distinctive feature, that is, officers are in charge of administration and military affairs.

That is, in the regular army of the alliance, officers are both logistics administrators and military commanders.

With the large number of official officers killed and injured in the battle of Hegu Village, the administrative management of the three counties, including the Baishan County troops, tended to collapse, and the accounts of many departments became a bad debt.

The troops of the three counties urgently need a batch of materials that are independent of the original logistics system and can be used at any time. This is why Leiqun County Army and Bianjiang County Army are so eager for combat preparations and storage in Fengshi City.

After a brief eye contact, Colonel Skur took out a silver box from his arms, opened the silver box, carefully took out a pair of monocle glasses, clamped them on his right eye, and bending through the list provided by the Tiefeng County Army without hesitation.

Colonel Geisa didn't even look at it, and pushed the file directly to Captain Mason.

"The seized materials, captured personnel, and the received legion assets?" Geisa took out her pipe and knocked on the long table, smashing the ashes.

Then he pressed the tobacco leaves without anyone else, while saying disdain: "Why do you think so civilized? Isn't it just money, people and territory? After all, we are now four robbers sharing the spoils. Since that's the case, what's the use of sharing it in detail? Why don't you be happy and just say, how much do you want to get?"

Geisa Adonis deliberately acted arrogantly, but the two lieutenants were not frightened.

"Colin." Winters stretched out his hand and tapped his finger from the air.

Away from my arms, a wisp of blue smoke floated out of Geisa Adonis' pipe without warning.

Colonel Skur looked at the list of supplies too focused, so he did not notice Winters' movements. Lieutenant Colonel Magash on the other side unconsciously tightened his neck and his pupils dilated uncontrollably.

Although Magash had heard that the young captain in front of him might be the closest spell caster in the league's history to the level of imperial court mages, and had also heard subordinates who had experienced the Battle of the River Valley Village talk about the terrifying scenes left by the "blood wolf" on the battlefield, seeing Winters Montane lightly use of "magic" with his own eyes still made Lieutenant Colonel Magash stand up behind him.

Lieutenant Colonel Magash even subconsciously kept his body away from the Blood Wolf - a normal reaction of a sane person sitting next to the powder barrel.

Geisa himself was just stunned for a moment, then nodded at Winters, as if expressing gratitude, and smoked his pipe as usual.

"There are also ways to divide the spoils," Winters said with a smile: "There is uneven distribution of spoils, and killing each other is common."

Mason coughed lightly and hurriedly stopped Winters' dangerous speech: "What's more, we are not robbers, aren't we? We are friendly forces."

Winters smiled and stopped talking. Colonel Geisa also snorted lightly and did not speak again.

Mason wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned on the file in front of him, and tried to direct the negotiations to the point of formality: "Since things are complicated, it's better to start with the simple ones - starting with the combat preparation storage in Fengshi City."

Colonel Skur and Colonel Geisa looked at each other and nodded slightly to agree.

After receiving the other party's recognition, Mason enthusiastically explained: "The war preparation and storage accounts of the Xinkendi Legion are very clear. From General Adams's administration, when Colonel Saner occupied Maple Stone City, and when our department took over, all the books were kept intact. Although they were used during the period, they were all registered one by one."

Mason paused and added: "Col. Skur also sent someone to count the warehouse, check the account book, and copy and backup it should prove that what I said is true."

Colonel Geisa looked at Colonel Skur inquiringly, who nodded slightly.

"Okay, I know you have kept it well and didn't embezzle it." Geisa refused to say anything: "Continue, what do you want to divide it?"

"In accordance with the principle of fairness." Mason subconsciously aimed in Winters' direction. After seeing the latter's supportive gaze, his Adam's apple flipped and said solemnly: "I think distribution according to the proportion of troops is the best solution."

The three school officials frowned instantly, and the conference room fell silent instantly.

Mason's heart also clenched, and he held his fingers hard under the table.

In the past, Winters had been dealing with affairs in Vorne County. The so-called "Iron Peak County proposed a distribution plan for the trophy" was actually formulated by Mason.

To some extent, it will determine the fate of millions of people in the seven counties in the new reclaimed land. When this plan was really put on the conference table, Mason still felt unconsciously panic.

After a long quiet, Lieutenant Colonel Magash, who had the lowest rank among the three, broke the silence first: "When is the proportion of troops?"

Winters replied calmly: "The proportion of troops when sending troops."

The three school officials exchanged their eyes, and it was obvious that the answer was beyond the expectations of the three of them.

Distribution by force, in other words, distribution according to strength. If it is a robber who divides the spoils, it is obviously a very fair plan to distribute according to strength.

However, if the distribution is made in this way, the Leiqun County Army, which suffered heavy losses, will only suffer a loss in silence, while the Tiefeng County Army will naturally get the largest share.

In fact, in previous internal discussions, the three school officials had determined that the Tiefeng County Army would propose a plan to classify its strength and also draw the bottom line here.

This time, they just wanted to seek more compensation for Leiqun County and Bianjiang County on this basis.

However, the two lieutenants in front of them proposed to allocate troops according to the "distance of troops".

It's really... so rich that it's a bit weird.

"Distributed according to the proportion of troops sent?" Colonel Skur asked again cautiously.

"It's like this in principle." Mason had a lot to say but couldn't explain it clearly in one sentence: "But it's not exactly like this."

After getting this answer, Colonel Skul relaxed a little.

"It turns out that I'm not so kind." Skur Mecklen thought to himself: "Hmph, there are indeed other plans."

Mason simply tore off a piece of paper from the back of the file, got up and put it in the center of the conference table, and wrote the calculation on the paper while explaining to the school officials:

"Leiqun County and Bianjiang County provide a large number of cavalry units. If you only count the heads, it will be very unfair to Leiqun County and Bianjiang County. So I gave different assignments to infantry, cavalry and artillery units. Infringements are given 'one' and cavalry are given 'three'. In principle, it is distributed according to the force, but Leiqun County and Bianjiang County can get a greater share than the number of people, which is more fair."

As Mason explained, the other end of the long table seemed quieter. In the end, there was no sound.

Mason also noticed the change in the atmosphere and hurriedly added: "If you have any objections to this assignment, we can continue to discuss it. In fact, I have an equation here. As long as you bring in different assignments, you can get the allocation ratio under the assignment..."

"No need to say it." Colonel Skur said with difficulty: "It's good."

Colonel Geisa hit the table with his pipe and asked in a deep voice: "Boy, it is fair on the surface according to your division. But have you ever thought that in this battle, you will be able to fight light battles, and we will fight hard and bad battles. Is it really fair to divide the troops alone when sending troops? We are dead and injured so many people, how should we calculate the pension for the dead and injured?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Colonel Geisa's questioning not only failed to stump Mason, but instead seemed to scratch the itchy part of the latter, making the latter inexplicably excited.

"I have also considered this, please turn to page 47." Mason replied: "I believe that all the pensions for the casualties in this battle should be uniformly distributed from the warehouses and the legion materials received in Maple Stone City according to the same standards. The remaining part will be distributed fairly as spoils according to the proportion of troops sent."

This statement was like shooting a thirty-two-pound shell into the militia's phalanx.

Because the three school officials at the other end of the long table were no longer silent, but began to whisper.

Winters was very satisfied with the effect and quietly gave senior Mason a thumbs up.

Mason grinned, but the next second, the other party's answer made him shocked.

"Sorry, Captain Mason." The bad news was still because of Lieutenant Colonel Magash: "We cannot agree to this kind of pension plan."

"Why?" Mason asked with a stuttering point: "Is there anything wrong with this...?"

"We agree to your plan to allocate materials according to the force you sent troops." Lieutenant Colonel Magash said politely: "As for the pension expenses, we shall bear them."
