Of course, Fiona is not a great philanthropist. She takes advantage of others. She mainly considers two aspects:
The first is that arming this group of grassland people can at least deal with and involve part of the orc army, reducing the pressure and losses on the Shire side.
Secondly, it was also because the main force of the orcs was defeated too quickly, and no one expected that Dranosh would be killed by Iros. This resulted in a large number of factories and chambers of commerce in the Shire that originally produced a large amount of weapons, equipment and military supplies, but ended up not using them.
Now the inventory has been overstocked, which has become a big trouble. Now it can be regarded as a clearance sale. Reduce the inventory and make small profits but quick turnover.
Fiona's level of military command was not as good as that of Grand Duke Gros, but she was recognized as a master in domestic affairs and diplomacy, which was recognized by Nielas Elam and Talleyrand.
On the one hand, she has had a long career as a low-class knight and is familiar with all kinds of society and the hardships of the lower class people.
On the other hand, I also learned a lot from Iros, especially Iros’s endless whimsical ideas and political and diplomatic skills.
From the appearance alone, the Katalin Guards look very good now. They are all tall and clean-looking, and they are wearing exquisite standard equipment produced by Shire. Katalin Khan came out of his private residence and saw these.
The guards were on duty, and I couldn't help but feel some comfort in my heart.
Archduke Charles is escorted by the loyal and powerful Knights of the Silver Hand and the Legion of Storms, and I also have my own Guards!

I will prove that my Guards are no worse than the Ciel's army!
At this time, important members of the Duma also gathered outside. There were quite a few of them. Here are a few of the most important names. They are:
The current chief palace steward, Petrov Panov.
The current Generalissimo Denikin.
The current Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the Guards Semyonov.
The current financial controller, Dmilov.
The current general, chief of general munitions and director of general logistics, Bagramyan.
After the group arrived, they waited outside for a while and did not rush in. When the chief palace minister Petrov saw that almost all the important people had arrived, he laughed a few times and said:
"It's almost time. Khan should be ready by now."
"We were called here today to discuss matters. It should be to prepare for the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory."
Marshal Denikin was very proud at this time. He was wearing a military uniform and a military coat. The marshal smiled and said: "Come to think of it, this is what happened."
"It may also be news from Erengrad."
Semyonov's expression was not good-looking: "Have you seen Arakchiev's embarrassed look? Maybe something happened in Erengrad."
"But I heard that someone secretly revealed the issue of comfort meals in the army!"
Demilov looked ugly, and he deliberately turned his attention to the Minister of Logistics, Baghramyan:
"Well, maybe when the Khan is happy, he will do something about us and promote that little bastard who snitched to take our place. Don't you think so, General Bagramyan?"
"snort!"
General Bagramyan recalled Demilov's previous arrangements. After receiving the order and allocation from Katalin Khan, Financial Controller Demilov did not dare to neglect and immediately delivered 300 gold galleons to himself.
, and also gave serious instructions:
"Now the money is for you! Hurry up and provide better food for the army, so that nothing happens again!"
In the end, something happened. Bagramyan tried his best to handle it. He used his budget of 300 gold galleons to the limit. He even went to negotiate the price with the merchants in the south to purchase goods to ensure that the materials were delivered to the army logistics on time and in sufficient quantity.
There, something happened in the end.

"I don't know what's going on, but for any expenditure, I have evidence here and I didn't get a penny!"
"Oh, our general is really good at doing things. It seems that he is ready to be promoted to marshal!"
Demilov didn't get the answer he wanted, so he said in a neutral tone.
"Okay, don't embarrass Hof."
Petrov waved the matter over:
"Everyone, thanks to Esun's blessing, the main force of the orcs has been destroyed, and Erengrad has been recovered with the help of the Shire and the people of the Southern Empire.
But now that something like this has happened, Khan's mood will definitely not be any better. As for the food, everyone can get over it. Just try your best to get over it and don't cause any more trouble, don't you think?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Peter is right!"
"Let's get this over with now. Let's think of other solutions later."

Everyone began to enter the venue one after another, and only Bagramyan was left behind. The logistics minister snorted coldly, wondering whether he should consider resigning.
If he continues like this, even if he is not thrown out by Katalin Khan to take the blame and arrested and dealt with, he will be hated to death.
Relatively silent, they entered the big tent one after another and everyone sat down. At this time, Katalin Khan had been waiting for a long time.
The room was lit with fine ambergris, the fire was made of the highest grade silver carbon, and many of the furniture were recently made of fine cherry wood.
Katalin Khan took out a small piece of paper and threw it on the table. Katalin Khan was extremely angry.
He shouted at everyone, especially General Bagramyan:
"Hov! Look at you, what have you done? Why did I obviously allocate 800 gold galleons to you! But the comfort food only has this little thing!
Let me tell you, if you can't give a reasonable explanation today, then go to Yezhov to report it!"
All eyes were focused on General Bagramyan. The Minister of Logistics did not panic after hearing this. He took out several documents from his body and motioned to his attendants to hand them to Katalin Khan:
"Honorable Khan, this is the purchase list, which contains all the purchase unit prices and total purchases. Also, please allow me to correct your Majesty's mistake. I did not receive 800 gold galleons, I only received 300 gold galleons.
Long."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the conference room looked ugly.
"300? Why only 300? Where did the remaining 500 go?"
Katalin Khan took the document and read it and confirmed that Bagramyan was not corrupt. Katalin Khan became even more angry:
"Demilov! Get out of here! Didn't I give you 800 gold galleons? Why did you only take out 300?"
After hearing the question, Financial Controller Demilov had no choice but to step out. He bowed slowly to Katalin Khan, and then said calmly:
"Khan, if I can give 300 to General Bagramyan, that's already my best effort.
The kingdom's financial expenses are huge, and many matters have been stopped waiting for money. Finally, we have some money, so we must solve some of them.
Debts and expenditures are constantly in deficit, and it is very difficult for me as the financial controller to handle it! Please understand my difficulties."
After hearing these words, Katalin Khan's expression softened a little. Katalin Khan thought that Demilov had been his financial controller for more than ten years, and he had always been loyal, especially loyal, and his tone became better:
"Okay, today's meeting is about this matter. I don't mean to embarrass you. If you have any difficulties, you can mention it and explain clearly, where did the other 500 gold galleons go?"
"The other 500 gold galleons are like this, of which 300 gold galleons are used to pay and compensate the arrears of the chartered ships to the Shire shipyard for transporting supplies and military equipment from the rear."
Demilov first told where the first money went.
"But we have never seen a cargo ship here in the logistics department!"
Bagramyan risked his life, and the logistics minister shouted:
"We organized all the transport by ourselves! Khan, hundreds of people died of exhaustion or even starved to death during transportation in order to transport the supplies!"
And how can it cost 300 gold galleons to rent a few boats?"
"Wait, I haven't finished yet."
Demirov sneered for a while and added: "We did rent a boat and did transport supplies, but when the boat reached the Ergun River, it encountered magic. Aren't there orc troops infested in this section of the river?
The ships encountered some troubles. Two ships caught fire and one capsized. They had to go by land. As for the excessive expenses, compensation and material losses must also be included. This is the first payment. The creditor
The chase was tight, so I had no choice but to give it first.
Otherwise, if we break our promise and cause disputes, it will be a small matter, but if we hurt the holy name of Katalin Khan, it will be a big deal!"
