Claude is very busy. Although Marshal Michelchi has helped him take care of most of the candidates for the theater command at the new theater preparatory meeting, and the chief officers in charge of various departments such as communications, intelligence, logistics, etc. have made arrangements, so there is no need
Claude tried his best. But because Claude decided to move the new theater headquarters to Lanhu Town, everyone was extremely busy.
However, Marshal Michelich did not object to Claude's decision, because he also felt that the location of Greno Castle as the capital of the Amphiston Territory was indeed too remote, and it was not as good as Lanhu Town, which is located in Amphiston.
It is in the center of the Direct Territory of Dunton and has convenient transportation. However, Castle Grenoux was the mountain town with the largest mineral development at that time and the location of two gold mines. The Direct Territory of Amphiston has always been focused on mineral development. For the smooth development of the two gold mines and
It is understandable that the capital is located at Greno Castle for security reasons.
But in wartime, it would be too late to set the theater headquarters in Greno Castle. It takes half a day to get from Lanhu Town to Greno Castle. If there is an emergency, it will take a day to go back and forth, which will delay things a lot.
It's just that it's not easy to move the theater headquarters to Lanhu Town. Not to mention anything else, just transporting the supplies stored by the Ranger Corps to Lanhu Town is a very troublesome thing. Not to mention Marshal Michelqi
He also ordered all the four-wheeled freight carriages of the entire legion to be taken away, preparing to go to the Tiersim Direct Territory to pick up the immigrant families.
As Marshal Michelich said, time is indeed very tight. The Storm Fleet has already escorted the immigrant fleet out to sea, and it will arrive in the Tiersim Direct Territory in about half a month. And from the Tiersim Direct Territory to An
It takes more than 20 days for the Fiston Direct Territory, of course, this means transporting it by horse-drawn carriage.
In other words, the war zone headquarters needs to complete the relocation within these 30 to 40 days, and set up a large immigration reception camp in Lanhu Town to give these immigrants a place to stay. They also need to make industrial arrangements for these immigrant families.
During this period, these immigrant families were also provided with daily necessities, food supplies for consumption, and medical assistance...
Things were so busy that Claude was almost too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Even if his family's villa and manor was in Lanhu Town, he didn't have time to go home and have a good night's rest. Fortunately, he was relieved that in the
With the help of close associates such as McJack, Belklin and Diavid, more than 4,000 of the nearly 5,000 veterans of the 131st Ranger Regiment were willing to join the Thunder Division to be formed, which made it easy for Claude to
With just a little effort, the basic structure of the new division was completed.
Marshal Michelich's estimate was correct. Most of the officers and soldiers of the old Ranger Division were willing to transfer to the second-line army after being promoted to the first rank. They were more willing to make a future on the battlefield than to receive salary and welfare subsidies.
As long as they can win the battle, the rewards after the war are often more than the salary and so on, especially since they have confidence in Claude. Under Claude's command, they receive more benefits than other units of the Rangers.
Richer.
Among the more than 30,000 former Ranger Division veterans, 26,000 are willing to transfer to the five newly formed reinforced divisions, and more than 2,000 of the 30,000 newly recruited recruits are willing to stay with the veterans.
Here, Marshal Michelich simply ordered five thousand veterans for each division, and the remaining three thousand were given to Claude's Thunder Division.
The more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Ranger Corps who were going to be brought back to the kingdom were used as coolies by Marshal Michelic. During the period before returning to the country, they needed to go to Lanhu Town to build an immigrant reception camp, open roads, and expand the town.
, so tired that he whined. Marshal Michelich didn't care. He said that these losers didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, so if they did some hard work, their service as soldiers was not in vain...
Mr. Veblen's son Derivic also voluntarily joined the Thunder Corps as a retired officer and became a lieutenant officer again. He is currently undergoing a study and adaptation inspection. Claude took time to meet with the Mining and Commerce Association
President Hindman held a brief meeting to determine the principles for immigration distribution.
Sure enough, as Claude expected, what the Mining and Business Association needs is not immigrants to mine. Mining work can be done by the young and strong Nicancha people. What they need is talents. For example, the basics of mining in this world
The previous family had as few as five or six people, and as many as more than a dozen. In addition to one retired soldier in each family of 100,000 immigrants, they also had parents, brothers and sisters. The mining and business association needs to find talents among them.
....
This is an overseas territory. Compared with the local counties in the Kingdom, it is really difficult to find talents. The Mining and Business Association has too much airs in the mountainous area of the Amphiston Territory, and there is an extreme lack of the most qualified personnel.
Grassroots managers had no choice but to arrange for those Nikancha people to take up grassroots management positions. As a result, production efficiency was very low. In the past, people could not be found to do the work, but now there are 100,000 households in the kingdom who have immigrated here, and the mining industry
Naturally, the government and business associations became interested in the families of these immigrants.
As President Hindman said, it doesn’t matter if you are illiterate. You can manage those Nikancha people if they work hard. You don’t need much encouragement or help. Basically, the Nikancha people can have a musket in one hand and a whip in the other.
Be obedient. What the Mining and Commerce Association lacks is these people with guns and whips. In addition, it would be better if some of the immigrant family members are literate and can do arithmetic. The association has plenty of job arrangements...
Claude also agreed with President Hindman that in principle he would not object to the Mining and Business Association recruiting talents from these immigrant families, but everything must be done voluntarily, and people from the association would have to wait until the immigrant families arrived at the detention camp to enter the camp.
There must be no deception or coercion in camp recruitment. Only those who voluntarily go to settle in mountain towns can let the association help with settlement.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than thirty days, and the first batch of immigrants was about to arrive. At this time, Claude, who was at the theater headquarters, received a report that something had happened in the logistics department...
General Vansnik, the head of the logistics department of the Ranger Corps, made trouble again. He didn't know that Marshal Michelch had left all the army's military supplies in reserve for the new war zone. The person in charge of these logistics affairs was Sk.
Colonel Li. Based on the account books compiled by the Legion's Logistics Department, he believed that the captured Hicks Kingdom's military supplies stored in them were too much, so he planned to find a purchaser to sell the contents of these warehouses.
Perhaps because the day to return to the kingdom is getting closer, General Vansnik, who is the head of the Ranger Legion's logistics department, is becoming more and more careless and wants to give away the unused military supplies stored in the Legion's warehouse.
Package and sell them and turn them into cash. Anyway, in his mind, he thought that if he couldn't take these things back, it would be easier to just sell them, so he took it upon himself to contact businessmen to sell these military supplies.
After finally getting in touch with an interested big businessman, General Vansnik excitedly asked him to go to the Legion's material warehouse to see the goods. As soon as he opened the door of the warehouse, General Vansnik was shocked to see the goods stored in several warehouses.
Needless to say, there are several warehouses still storing supplies that have seals on them, stamped with the special seal of the Theater Logistics Department...
General Vansnik became anxious on the spot. How could it be that the military supplies belonging to the Ranger Corps had become part of the Theater Logistics Department? He angrily went to Colonel Skerry and demanded that the Ranger Corps' supplies be returned. However,
Colonel Skerry told him that this was an order from Marshal Michelci to transfer all the military supplies stored by the Ranger Corps to the war zone. They could not take them back to the Kingdom anyway.
The furious General Vansnik declared that Marshal Michelci's order was an indiscriminate order. As the logistics director of the Ranger Corps, he did not know about it at all, so the military supplies stored by the Corps could not be transferred without his consent.
For other troops, he ordered Colonel Skerry to immediately hand over all the supplies and return them to him...
Colonel Skerry immediately refused to carry out his order, requiring him to first obtain the consent of Marshal Michelchi and produce a warrant, and then it would not be too late to return the military supplies.
But how could General Vansnik have the courage to go to Marshal Michelci? His original idea was to sell these excess military supplies, and then he would make a profit from it, and then use the rest of the money to invest in
The account books of the Ranger Regiment Logistics Department were regarded as one of his political achievements. Now that this plan failed, he became angry and emphasized that Marshal Michelchi did not have the power to deal with this military equipment. This was within the jurisdiction of him, the head of the Logistics Department.
...
So he ordered the military police of the Ranger Corps' Military Justice Department to detain Colonel Skerry on the charge of secretly transferring and embezzling military supplies. Then he packaged and sold the military supplies still stored in the warehouse to the purchaser.
Big businessman.
Colonel Skerry is currently in charge of the logistics department of the new theater. As soon as he was detained, the entire logistics department was in chaos. No one could make the decision, and many things were immediately backlogged. Fortunately, there were other logistics officers who were clear-headed and were able to use them immediately.
Harrier sent a message to Claude and Colonel Beachlin of the 4th Rock Division reorganized in Greno Castle.
Although the new theater headquarters has been moved to Lanhu Town, Colonel Skerry's logistics department is still processing the reserve materials transferred to the theater by the Rangers at Greno Castle. No one expected that such a thing would happen, Marshal Michelich
At this time, I went to the city of Bricaman in the direct jurisdiction of Robisto to inspect the formation of the First Rock Division and the defense line of the Dolinibara River. And the official position of General Vansnik was in the Ranger Corps headquarters.
The biggest one, no one can stop him.
Claude was beyond his reach, and he could not fly to the Castle of Greno immediately. He could only send a hawk message to Colonel Beachlin, asking him to immediately implement martial law in the Castle of Greno to stop the businessman who had purchased a large amount of armaments.
Leave the city, take him into custody first, and then lead people to the Ranger Corps headquarters to rescue Colonel Skerry.
But more than an hour later, Claude once again received a message from Colonel Buechlin. The letter said that General Vansnik had used the logistics camp of the Ranger Regiment Logistics Department to escort the big businessman's convoy out of the city.
.The two sides are currently in a confrontation. General Vansnik accused Colonel Beachlin of planning a mutiny...
Claude wanted to curse. Although most of the Ranger Corps' troops were engaged in construction in Lanhu Town, there was also a guard camp and a logistics camp at the Ranger Corps headquarters in Greno Castle. Claude couldn't let Bi
Colonel Chickering resisted the pressure and actually opened fire on the regiment's logistics camp, which would have made the trouble out of control. After all, they were also acting on orders.
The communications officer at the theater command reported that it would take three hours for the Falcon to fly to Bricaman City, a territory directly under the jurisdiction of Robisto, and it would be around six o'clock in the evening when he would receive a reply from there. However, Marshal Michelci did not
They set off yesterday morning. It is estimated that they are still on the way and will probably not arrive in Bricaman City until tomorrow afternoon. In addition, although Marshal Michelich brought a falcon with him, he was the only one who let the falcon come over first and then used this one.
Only the falcon can deliver the message to him. It is impossible for the messenger hawk in the theater headquarters to target a group of people on their way...
What to do? Claude frowned and thought for a moment. If this emergency incident was not handled well, it would have a great impact on the new war zone. No one could have expected that the useless general Vansnik would do it in this gap.
Everyone was caught off guard. In fact, the batch of military supplies he resold didn't matter. They were the captured reserves of the Kingdom of Hicks anyway. When Marshal Michelich comes back in a few days, he will naturally be dealt with.
However, Claude didn't want to let go of General Vansnik. If he didn't give him a severe lesson this time, he might cause a lot of trouble in the coming days. And this time
If he succeeds, it will only cast a shadow over the new theater headquarters. The people above will naturally understand his dilemma, but what will the soldiers below think of him? This will greatly reduce his role as the new supreme commander of the theater.
The prestige of the chief...
"Send the Falcon message again and ask Colonel Beachlin to let them pass..."
"Send the order, the guerrilla battalion of the Thunder Division will be dispatched with me immediately." Claude ordered.
The guerrilla battalion is currently the only fully-staffed battalion in the Thunder Division. It is organized just like the 131 Field Reinforcement Battalion led by Claude of the Ranger Division, with Mike as the battalion commander. The whole battalion has more than 1,600 people.
, all veterans, this is the sharpest knife prepared by Claude as the Thunder Division.
It took about two hours, Claude led the guerrilla battalion to the entrance of the mountain road and ordered a rest. At the same time, he sent sentries up the mountain road to see if the merchant convoy escorted by the logistics supply camp led by General Vansnik had arrived.
Fortunately, there is only one avenue going down the mountain from Greno Castle, and the convoy can only pass through here.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the sentry rider came to report that the convoy would be arriving soon.
What happened next was very simple. The guerrilla camp ambushing beside the mountain road suddenly appeared, shouting slogans that General Vansnik was treasonous and should be arrested immediately, and anyone who dared to resist would be killed on the spot.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the logistics camp were confused and at a loss, and were successfully disarmed. However, General Vansnik yelled angrily, saying that he was a blood branch of the Sterling royal family, how could he be treason?
, this was clearly a slander. Several officers next to him were moved and were about to come up to question him, but they were swarmed by veterans from the guerrilla camp, beat him down and tied them up.
Claude walked up to General Vansnik, took out a Falcon Message from his arms, and raised it in front of everyone: "This is the Falcon Message just sent by Marshal Michelchi. It says
General Vansnik betrayed the interests of the kingdom, had an affair with the Kingdom of Hicks, stole intelligence from the war zone, and ordered the war zone to arrest him immediately..."
No one could see clearly what was written on the falcon message in Claude's hand, but because of Claude's definitely serious tone, everyone basically believed that this was indeed an order issued by Marshal Michelich.
Only General Vansnik was still jumping up and down: "You are talking nonsense, I am not treasonous! You are slandering a member of the King's Division, and I will not let you go."
Claude punched him directly on the chin, and he immediately fell to the ground struggling.
"Catch him, tie him up, and throw him into the carriage. Put some torn socks in his mouth. The carriage will bump so that he won't accidentally bite his tongue." Claude took out a white handkerchief and wiped his fist.
"Sir, what should we do with the businessman and the convoy?" McJack asked.
"Take them all away and let Colonel Xazolak interrogate him. Isn't he an anti-espionage agent? I need the businessman to admit that he is a secret agent of the Hicks Kingdom..."
