Chapter 128: The Retired Veteran

Chapter 128: The retired veteran fell into the trap

"I don't understand why Mayor Robert is entangled with Bedelier Bluntsch. Doesn't he know how bad Bedelier Bluntsch's reputation is in the town? It's obvious.

The workshop owner of the fish processing factory, but secretly he is the boss of the Black Snake Society! Isn’t Mayor Robert worried that Bedelier Blanche will be implicated in something that happens to him?” Verricro was beside him.

Discussed.

His sister gave him a shudder: "You are really stupid, my stupid brother, you can't understand such a simple thing. Although Mayor Robert has the title of baron, it is not hereditary. When it comes to him,

This generation can no longer be passed down. Although his son has national status, it is said that he is a playboy and is very good at spending money.

Obviously, Baron Robert knew that his son was a mediocre person, and he could only put his hope in his grandson. Of course, he was not willing to let his grandson only be a commoner in the future, so he spent a lot of money to get it in vain.

When Lu Zhen became the mayor, it was clear that he wanted to make back his capital in the position of mayor, and at the same time accumulate some money for his grandson's future development.

Therefore, what he values ​​​​is not Bedelier Bluntsch as a person, he only values ​​​​the money that Bedelier Bluntsch gave him. This is the real reason why he spares no effort to support Bedelier Bluntsch.

.As for the reputation of Bedelier Blanche and who he is secretly, it has nothing to do with the mayor. At that time, he can just say that he was deceived.

Anyway, Bedelier Blanche has been hiding behind the Black Snake Society, and the patrol team has not found any evidence of his crime. All the legends about Bedelier Blanche are rumors, not conclusive evidence, as long as

If we can’t convict Bedelir Blanche, then he is a law-abiding citizen and a workshop owner who has no problem paying taxes. As the mayor of the town, there is no problem in dealing with him..."

Verricro looked at his sister in surprise: "How do you know so clearly? Even Mayor Robert knows that he has a grandson..."

Verricro's sister sighed and shook her head: "You just didn't notice. Last time, Mayor Robert got drunk in the old tavern and boasted about how smart his grandson was. He also said that the hope of their family lies in

His grandson and so on, and then think about how he came to Bailu Town to be the mayor, it's all obvious."

Claude was also surprised. She had known that although Verricro's sister looked like a man, she was extremely clever and shrewd. She could have deduced the purpose and purpose of the matter from Mayor Robert's inadvertent drunken remark.

The results come.

"I'm a little strange," Claude thought carefully about choosing the right words: "Mayor Robert is obviously not a fool. He should know the two taxation and voluntary donation plans he proposed and the last one to let Bedelier

"Blonchi's plan to fund the formation of a garrison brigade will not be approved by the veterans who attended the meeting, but why should it be proposed? Is it good for him to say that the meeting broke up on bad terms?"

Kubrick said unhappily: "It's not that we don't agree with the two plans of taxation and voluntary donations, but the amount he proposed is too exaggerated. What kind of organization needs to raise 1,200 gold crowns to maintain a defense?"

The brigade needs two thousand gold crowns a year. This is pure nonsense. Let me tell you, it doesn't require that much money to set up.

Recruiting a new soldier only costs one gold crown as settling-in fee, which is stipulated in the kingdom's conscription regulations. A garrison of 224 people only costs two hundred and twenty-four gold crowns. Ordnance and military uniforms are allocated by the county and city.

, we don’t need to bear the cost. The rest is the maintenance of the garrison barracks of the garrison brigade, the storage of food, medicine, bedding and other materials. The maximum cost of a garrison brigade is less than fifty gold crowns. Plus the brigade’s reserves, in fact, it only needs

It is enough to raise three hundred gold crowns.

The bulk of setting up a garrison brigade is actually the housing expenses and ordnance and equipment. Once these two are taken care of, the rest of the expenses are not much. That shitty mayor actually said that it requires 1,200 gold crowns. Do you think we are all fools?

Don’t you even know how to settle accounts?

Also, the cost of maintaining a garrison brigade for a year does not require more than 2,000 gold crowns. The monthly salary subsidy for a soldier is only one silver thaler, and the annual salary subsidy for a garrison group of more than 200 people does not exceed 500 gold crowns.

, plus the incidental expenses such as food, only eight hundred gold crowns are needed at most. He also argued that we did not include the expenses for training and exercises, and the maintenance cost of two thousand gold crowns a year is already considered low. It is simply too much.

fart.

He had a really good idea. He asked us retired veterans to jointly submit an application to the county council, and once the proposal was approved, the town office would implement it. At that time, all the responsibility and infamy would be shouldered by us retired veterans. And as the mayor of the town, he

But he can be in charge of the expenditure of this batch of funds. He has the final say on how much or how little he approves. We don’t even know how much he puts into his own pocket! Bah, it’s such a beautiful idea. He treats us all as fools..."

"Oh, father, you have all fallen into a trap." Verricro's sister sighed: "Actually, Mayor Robert proposed these two plans to arouse your resentment, so that he could easily propose the last concession.

Bedelir Blanche funded the plan to form a garrison brigade.

Now your meeting has no results and broke up. The responsibility lies entirely with you veterans. As the mayor, he has put forward three plans with all his heart and soul, but you don't agree with any of them. This is obviously

You do not support the order to form a garrison brigade..."

"But, these three plans are all nonsense..." Kubrick was in a daze.

Verricro's sister shook her head and said: "Actually, the amounts mentioned in the two taxation and voluntary donation plans are very reasonable for the adults in the county council. You said that the funds for the establishment of a garrison brigade are only

It requires three hundred gold crowns, which is actually far from enough. You only considered the ordinary needs of the soldiers, but did not take into account the consumption of ordnance materials during the formation process, as well as the construction of military camp defense facilities, the purchase of military horses, and military camp mercenaries.

Employment and other needs.

I remember you said that the order issued by the county seat is to form a garrison brigade in Bailu Town to prevent pirate attacks. Regardless of whether there is a pirate attack or not, since the county seat issued this order, then in the process of forming a garrison brigade

The construction of defense facilities must be considered. How many turrets, how many artillery pieces need to be installed, and who will guard these issues must be solved one by one, so the establishment fund of 1,200 gold crowns is not too outrageous.

Also, although the annual maintenance cost of two thousand gold crowns for a garrison brigade is a bit high, it is still very reasonable. The county said it would allocate the ordnance materials needed to form a garrison brigade, but it did not say that it would continue to allocate it in the future. I

I think this is probably a one-time allocation. In the future, the replacement of ordnance and military supplies will need to be purchased by the garrison brigade. In addition, the cost of training and exercises is also a big expense. Mayor Robert is right. After the garrison brigade is established, new recruits

Training and exercises will cost a lot, and two thousand gold crowns a year's military maintenance expenses are indeed not much."

"Are our objections wrong?" Kubrick said angrily.

"You are right to object, because what you object to is Mayor Robert taking advantage of the opportunity to form a garrison brigade to seek personal gain for himself. You are not opposed to the formation of a garrison brigade. You are just being used by him. In fact, you will understand as long as you think about it.

The adults on the county council are not fools. If Mayor Robert proposed an unreasonable amount, he would also be questioned by the council. He would not make such a mistake. What you are wrong is that you did not understand this. In fact, you only need to propose

As long as the supervision of funds falls into your hands, there will be no problem..."

"Yes, I will contact everyone right away and go to the town hall tomorrow to submit the funding plan. The amount will be as Mayor Robert said. We only need to add regulations to supervise the funds to prevent him from putting it into his own pocket.

It's money." Kubrick jumped up and ran out in a hurry.

"Uh...Uncle Kubrick..." Claude originally wanted to stop him, but when he thought about it, he was busy arguing with Mayor Robert about forming a garrison, and he couldn't enter the military camp. How could he know?

Asking about his father's situation was in vain. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Viricolo's sister shaking her head softly and sighing.

"What's wrong?" Claude asked.

Verricro's sister thought for a while before saying: "I suspect my father and the others are already a step too late. Mayor Robert must have sent a messenger to send the results of the morning meeting and the three plans he proposed to the county. Taxation

These two plans and voluntary donations are too disturbing to the people, and the county and city councils will probably not approve them.

And Beedelier Blanche's plan to donate funds to establish and maintain a garrison brigade is likely to be passed. After all, the adults in the county council do not know who he is, a workshop owner of a fish processing plant.

His name is enough for the County and City Council to commend and reward this generous act.”

"But Bedelir Bronch is just a civilian, not a retired veteran. What qualifications does he have to be the squadron leader of the garrison?" Verricro retorted unconvincedly from the side.

Then Vericro received another violent shudder from her sister: "I told you not to study hard. This has happened before. During the second war between the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Nasseri, it was located in Alphes County within the Kingdom.

Riots broke out in the prisoner-of-war camp. Thousands of prisoners of war from the Nasseri Kingdom killed guards, snatched guns and ammunition and fled into the Mokanin Mountains. From time to time, they formed teams to go down the mountains to rob towns and transport vehicles.

At that time, the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Nasseri were in a confrontation. The rear was extremely empty, and the frontline troops could not move back. As a result, there was nothing to do with the thousands of remaining soldiers. At this critical moment, the wealthy businessman Klenzt Cha from Alphes County

He dispersed his family wealth, used his own servants and hired hunters to form garrison brigades in various towns along the Mokaning Mountains, and implemented a blockade strategy against the prisoners of war who had escaped into the Mokaning Mountains. It only took a month.

This forced the remaining soldiers who were hungry and cold to lay down their weapons and surrender.

After the war, Stirling IX specially promoted Krenzt Charles to the title of baron, and gave the garrison teams in various towns he formed official local garrison numbers. Therefore, the county council is likely to give the title of baron because of Bede.

Lil Blanche agreed to his request by donating his family's funds to establish the garrison brigade, and used this to warn my father and the others not to obstruct the establishment of the White Deer Town garrison brigade in the name of retired veterans..."

Claude admitted that what Vericro's sister said was very reasonable, but it was none of his business. Since he couldn't get any news about his father here, he had to go back first and think of a solution. So he stood up and left.

Verricro's sister stopped him: "Little Claude, I know why you are here, but when you ask my father for help, you are actually asking the wrong person. The key to solving your problem actually lies in yourself.

, if you think about your current position, you will know who to ask for help."

My job? What job do I have? Claude scratched his head and didn't understand what she meant. It wasn't until he saw Dark Horse Jamie that he suddenly remembered that his current identity was the director of the Norman Forest Farm, and the Norman Forest Farm

It is the private property of Baroness Maria. I should write to Lady Maria for help. At the worst, I can understand why my father and the others were arrested on charges of endangering the security of the kingdom...
