Sometimes the truth of things is always unexpectedly simple. To be honest, General Vansnik regarded Claude as a suspect and tried to find the huge military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom that had disappeared. It was a complete mistake.
Just like the evidence submitted by Claude, in the day after occupying Wickham Castle, Claude was so busy that he had to run to urinate. All actions were in full view of the public, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Private time…
Not only Claude, but also the five battalion commanders under him, his personal adjutants, and trusted guards were all busy directing and supervising the prisoners to move the materials in the warehouse and load them into the carriages, and they also had to make various arrangements.
The ratio of supplies and the order of delivery, etc. Everyone was so busy that day that no matter how General Vansnik asked and reviewed the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment, he could conclude that Claude and his cronies did not
Pay attention to or have been to the ammunition, firearms ordnance warehouse area for signs.
In fact, Claude did not know at that time that there was a military expenditure of the Kingdom of Hicks worth more than half a million gold crowns. When he learned about this, he had already evacuated Wickham Castle and set up camp on that small hill.
Yes. If it weren't for his younger brother Blovik's confession, Claude would never have thought that he would have such good luck. But by then, he would have registered this huge sum of money as seized on the battlefield.
It's not appropriate anymore. All Claude has to do is continue to hide it...
It can be said that all the doubters, including General Vansnik, ignored the existence of the soldier Blovik, because at this time Blovik was participating in the non-commissioned officer training organized by the Ranger Corps headquarters. He obtained the ammunition from Wickham Castle
Only a few people knew about the huge military expenditures made in the gun ordnance warehouse area. Except for the three people who cooperated with him in transferring this huge sum of money, including Murray Ed, Diavid, and the big man Germi, even Cloro
De, Belklin and Michael were all concealed by them in advance, and they had no idea about the existence of this huge military expenditure.
Of the nearly five thousand officers and soldiers of the entire 131st Ranger Regiment, Blovik was the only one who visited the entire ammunition, firearms, ordnance and supplies warehouse area, inspected all the types of supplies stored in the warehouses, and naturally discovered the huge military expenditure.
Then he used his magic hands to move the money boxes filled with gold, silver and copper coins to the corner wall of the material warehouse. Then he greeted the guard soldiers standing guard and walked out with empty hands.
A warning zone.
Blovik then went to find Muriel, deployed a four-wheeled freight carriage, and drove the carriage to the outside of the wall where he had stacked the money boxes in the ammunition storage area. Then he used his magic hand to remove the money boxes from the wall.
While transferring to the carriage, he put some groceries on top to cover it up and then drove out of the castle. Finally, he said hello to Diavid who was guarding the gate of the castle and asked him not to check or register, and then drove the carriage out to search.
There was a place where the cash box was buried. Blovik made a total of five trips that day...
In the 131st Ranger Regiment, Brovik is a very special being. In terms of military rank, he is only a corporal, in terms of position, he is an orderly, but he is Claude's younger brother. Together with Belklin and Murray
Ed and Diaverde, the three powerful battalion commanders, have good relations with each other. Even Claude's most trusted adjutant, McJack, is also his brother-in-law. Although in terms of status, he is under the jurisdiction of the regiment's guard squadron, the guard squadron can
The captain, the big man Germi, also listened to him and consulted him on everything. Therefore, he was very popular in the regiment. Even the deputy regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Schneck, and the logistics director, Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried, also liked him.
Face can be said to be responsive to requests.
However, due to the strict control of Claude and the fact that Blovik has always kept a low profile, the officers and soldiers in the 131st Ranger Regiment were not very impressed with him. Those who knew his identity would give him a try.
, people who don’t know his identity don’t need to let him do anything. Anyway, Blovik won’t be angry and use his identity to bully anyone. Basically, there is no need for Claude to come forward if something goes wrong, and Murray Ed or
If Belklin just jumped out, it would be enough to give the other party a headache.
Similar to Claude, Brovik mastered military skills quickly and was even stronger than Claude. When Claude first joined the army, he was bullied by veterans and got into a fight that resulted in both sides being injured, but Brovik was
Challenge the veterans of the entire regiment, and be able to compete with them in terms of fighting and bayonet fighting. Even in aiming and shooting, the accuracy within 100 meters can be ranked among the top twenty in the regiment. It can be said that he is better than Claude
More like a born soldier.
After occupying Wickham Castle, Blovik heard that a warehouse containing the Hicks Kingdom's honorary saber had been discovered in the ammunition, firearms and ordnance storage area, and ran to watch the excitement. However, as a corporal, he did not have the honorary saber.
At most, he could only enjoy the one assigned to Claude. However, Blovik remembered what Belklin said, and if you are lucky on the battlefield, you can capture those exquisite weapons customized by senior enemy officers. For example
Gold-plated silver sabers, short blunderbuss, long swords, etc. These are relatively valuable and can be regarded as works of art, not considered weapons, and do not need to be turned in.
So Blovik suddenly wondered, could there be any warehouse in this ammunition, firearms and ordnance material warehouse area that stored exquisite ordnance customized by senior officers of the Hicks Kingdom? So he started to look at the warehouses one by one.
Soon I found the material warehouse with one door lock larger than other warehouses and two more locks. Of course, this was not a problem for Blovik. With the help of magic hands and precise control, the door locks were effortless.
was opened. Then Blovik saw the money boxes stacked in the warehouse, filled with gold, silver and copper coins.
Claude asked Blovik why he concealed the existence of this huge sum of money. Blovik frankly said that he thought it was uneconomical to report the report, so he handed over 70% to the legion and gave the remaining 30% to the tour group.
For one point of the 131st Cavalry Regiment, each officer and soldier received only about a hundred gold crowns. To other soldiers, this was an unexpected wealth, but to Claude and Blovik, this was
Money can't help my family...
Claude is now a poor man, living only on his own salary and wartime welfare subsidies. Of course, he now has room and board in the regiment, and usually does not need to spend much money. But Blovik is different, he is now Field
The head of the family is well aware of the difficulties faced by the family, especially since the family still owes a loan of several thousand gold crowns to the National Bank of Bailu City, which was loaned in his name as the head of the family.
The root of everything lies in the tree farm business purchased by her sister Anna for the family. The acquisition of the nearly 5,000-acre tree farm has almost wiped out all the family assets, and even the savings of nearly a thousand gold crowns in Claude's personal account have been contributed.
.But acquiring the forest farm is only the first step. According to Claude's design plan, more funds need to be invested in the forest farm to get the forest farm on the right track. Road planning, building houses, and the medicine field Anna is planning to open,
This requires more money to be invested. So Blovik was forced by Anna to borrow a loan of 6,500 gold crowns from the National Bank in the name of the Field family owner to open a forestry farm...
Although because of Claude's relationship, this loan with the forest farm has a great discount, the monthly rent received from the big red brick house can just pay off the interest on the loan. And the property of the forest farm
However, the results did not come out so quickly. In the next five or six years, the forest farm was still the result of only investment but no output.
To a certain extent, his younger brother Blovik was bolder and more unscrupulous than his older brother Claude. When he saw so many cash boxes filled with gold, silver and copper coins stored in the material warehouse, he was filled with excitement.
That’s why I had the idea of the money.
He bluntly told Claude that even with his current status as honorary baron and colonel, Claude's annual income was only three hundred gold crowns. It would be enough for him to maintain a decent and wealthy life after he retired, but if
Whatever happens, you need to use your pension funds. Among other things, the social interactions between nobles may make Claude feel strapped for money. What's more, don't forget, he now has a son.
, and the sister-in-law, mother, and sister Anna will all come to the mainland of Nubicia in a while, and arranging their living accommodation will require Claude to spend a lot of money...
Claude was quickly persuaded by his younger brother Blovik. There was no other way. Several of his close subordinates knew about it, and they hid the huge sum of money with his younger brother Blovik.
Although he is not greedy for money, there is no need to hand over this wealth against everyone's wishes. What's more, more than half a month has passed, and now reporting this military expenditure for the Hicks Kingdom is even more suspicious.
, and may even have to hand over the person responsible for concealing this huge military expenditure. Claude does not have the ambition and courage to kill relatives for justice.
But no one expected that General Vansnik, the army's logistics director who had just been transferred, was a mad dog. He learned about such a huge military expenditure from the captured Hicks Kingdom's logistics director, so he bit Claude.
Hold on. His argument is very simple, because the 131st Ranger Regiment captured Wickham Castle, then Claude must give an explanation, even if Claude has proven that he does not know Hicks
Although the kingdom’s military expenditure exists, General Vansnik still refuses to give up...
So when Claude announced that he would lead all the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment to Wickham Castle to excavate the ruins and find the huge military expenditure of the missing Kingdom of Hicks, many people in the Ranger Regiment regarded this as a
It was a farce and joke. You must know that General Vansnik once sent a logistics battalion to search for more than a week in the ruins of Wickham Castle, but only found a few copper feeneys from the Kingdom of Hicks.
However, the 131st Ranger Regiment spent more than half a month digging in the ruins of Wickham Castle, and soon gained a harvest. They found deformed gold Kepu shields, silver Kaile and
The three types of coins, copper and phenni, as well as many metal pieces broken into pieces by the explosion, were roughly worth nearly 10,000 gold crowns. This result surprised those who watched the excitement. Obviously, Claude
The officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment did not lie. They did miss out on such a huge military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom...
Now the rest of the Rangers couldn't sit still. They all ran to the ruins of Wickham Castle under the slogan of assisting in the excavation. They occupied a piece of land and began to dig. All the ashes were washed with water, just like digging for gold.
In order not to miss the coins among them. Not to mention, everyone has something to gain. In one day, you can find many gold, silver and copper coins worth hundreds of gold crowns, and some can be worth dozens of gold crowns.
General Vansnik soon received the report, and he personally went to the Wickham ruins to check. As a result, Claude did not say much and only ordered people to take the deformed gold, silver, and copper coins found by the 131st Ranger Regiment and those formed by the explosion.
The pieces of metal scraps were brought in front of him, and he estimated them in front of everyone. The value of these alone was nearly ten thousand gold crowns. And the officers in charge of other troops who divided Wickham Castle into pieces,
I also took out some more or less deformed gold, silver, copper coins and metal scraps, which together were worth nearly ten thousand gold crowns...
The facts are already very clear. The so-called military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom worth more than half a million gold crowns did not disappear. It was just that the big explosion in the ammunition depot material warehouse area shattered those gold, silver and copper coins into pieces.
The final pieces may be blown to other areas and mixed in the ashes and garbage. As long as you look carefully, you can find them. General Vansnik was the first to send the logistics battalion to search, but he was looking for those in the cash box.
The military expenditures in the house did not pay attention to the ashes and garbage on the ruins...
But the shrewd General Vansnik soon discovered a flaw. Why were there no intact gold, silver, and copper coins among the things handed over? Claude and other army commanders all smiled and said nothing, or pretended not to understand.
What did General Snick mean? They just argued that these things were only taken out to General Van Snick for a look, and they had no intention of handing them over. This was the hard work of their officers and soldiers during this period, and they could be exchanged for it.
It can also be worth some money and provide some welfare subsidies to the officers and soldiers in the army.
Claude and the others are right. These deformed gold, silver and copper coins and the metal fragments formed by the explosion do not need to be handed over. First of all, these are not property belonging to the kingdom, but the military expenses of the Kingdom of Hicks. They were scattered after the explosion.
In the ruins, things have become ownerless, and whoever owns them now gets them. Secondly, it has been half a year since the end of this war. The things excavated from the ruins now are not battlefield seizures, Vansnik
The general had no reason at all to ask everyone to hand over the found property to him.
General Vansnik, who was suffocated by Claude and the others, looked angrily at the bustling excavations in front of him with people coming and going. With sharp eyes, he saw a soldier dig out a piece of rubbish.
I wiped the shiny golden gold shield on my clothes a few times, then stuffed it into my trouser pocket with a satisfied smile... stuffed it into my trouser pocket!
General Vansnik immediately understood why he had not seen those intact gold Kepu shields, silver Kele and copper Feni. Claude and the others were right, it really belongs to whoever finds it. He was stunned for a moment.
Unable to hold on anymore, he hurried back to the legion headquarters, and somehow managed to get General Michelci to agree to come up with a plan to rectify military discipline. All the troops who were working hard on the ruins of Wickham Castle were
They all returned to their respective stations to carry out the so-called military discipline rectification, and then personally took the logistics battalion to the ruins of Wickham Castle, setting it as a warning place and starting to dig...
It's just that General Vansnik was not very lucky. After working for a month or so, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he could only find gold, silver and copper coins worth more than ten thousand gold crowns. Now he felt that the troops who had dug before had taken the bulk.
He was at a loss, and it was also a shame that he had the nerve to go to the officers in charge of those troops and ask for a profit or two from their income. After all, it was a huge military expenditure worth more than half a million gold crowns, and he only got more than 10,000 gold crowns worth.
There seems to be too few crowns...
Of course the officers led by Claude were not willing to suffer a loss. They dug well but were called back to the barracks for some kind of military discipline rectification. Then General Vansnik took the logistics camp and occupied the entire ruins of Wickham Castle. As a result, the excavation
After more than a month, he came back and said that he didn't get much, and asked everyone to give him a share of the military expenses they found. It's a shame that he thought of it and was so shameless. Moreover, Claude and the others still suspected that this mortal
General Snick concealed his fortune and deliberately pretended to be poor.
As a result, the entire Ranger Corps was in trouble because of this military expense matter. The strange thing was that General Michelchi seemed to have no intention of taking care of it. But Claude successfully got rid of the suspicion and could sit back and watch what happened in the Legion.
The troop commander and General Vansnik continued to quarrel...
