Just knowing the reason why the Nikancha agents lost contact still doesn't make Colonel Kofisler, the head of the intelligence department of the theater command, take the initiative to ask for credit from Bokoal. The most important thing is that Bokoar allowed the Bison Trading Company to establish itself in the Port of Vibato.
In just half a year, he weaved a network of human connections for the Buffalo Trading Company that was enough to protect itself. Although Bockar could not get in touch with the high-level powerful people in Vibato Port City, no matter whether it was the military logistics department,
The middle and lower-level officers or the management officials of the city administrative office basically have a good relationship with this fat man...
Perhaps to a certain extent, the news and intelligence Bokoar obtained from the middle and lower-class people in Vibato Port that he interacted with were earlier and more detailed than the colonial governor of Vibato Port in the Kingdom of Hicks. Basically,
All places in the city of Vibato Port were not secrets or forbidden areas for this fat man. In fact, the head of the Intelligence Department, Colonel Kefisler, praised Bokhar in his merit report, saying that he was a born first-rate spy.
Merely gathering information and passing on intelligence may not be enough to show how outstanding Bokoar is. What is rare is that this big fat man also used smuggling to make the Buffalo Trading Company earn more than 3,000 gold crowns in half a year. The first time he used grain smuggling, he actually didn't make much.
Money, the Vibato Port Colony has solved the food shortage, and the smuggled food and grass are not profitable. Bockar bought hundreds of packhorses at double the price and transported them back to make a small fortune. But then the big fat man specialized in luxury goods
and the smuggling of high-end ingredients and alcohol, and used this to build relationships with mid-level officials in Vibato Port City.
Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Thunder Division led by Claude on the battlefield, the defenders of Vibato Port could only defend and did not dare to attack. As a result, the prices of various alcoholic drinks increased sharply, and Bockar made a lot of money from this.
The pen not only did not require funding subsidies from the Intelligence Department, but also gave the Intelligence Department a large amount of extra money. This was the main reason why Colonel Kofisler was full of praise for the fat man.
Claude wrote the word of approval on the report asking for credit from the Intelligence Department to Bockaar, and then signed and sealed it. Unfortunately, Bockaar went to Vibato Port again in the name of gathering intelligence. In fact, everyone knew it
Ming, this fat man went to do business again, but no one would tell. Who said this fat man could be a good man? The Field family of Buffalo Trading Company accounted for 40% of the share income, the Theater Logistics Department accounted for 30%, and the Theater Intelligence Office accounted for 20%.
Success, the fat man himself accounted for 10% of the profit from the shares. During this period, the port city of Vibato has cut off transportation links with the colonies outside the city. Prices in the city have skyrocketed. Bockar will not miss such a good opportunity to make money.
Sometimes Claude has to praise his childhood friend. Not to mention his business vision, he is also very shrewd in dealing with interpersonal relationships. Originally, Claude asked his sister Anna to acquire Bison Trading Company.
As the property of the Field family, it was then lent to the Theater Intelligence Office for use as a cover-up vest. In order to enable Bockaar to go to Vibato Port to gather information smoothly, Claude asked Bockaar to use the Bison Trading Company's
He was smuggled as a shareholder, and he was given 20% of the shares and a share of the profits.
However, after Bock'al came back, he privately asked Claude to hand over another 40% of the profits from the shares of Bison Trading Company, and he also took out 10% of the profits and distributed them to the Theater Logistics Department and the Theater Intelligence Office. Bock'ar made it very clear that it is very difficult to eat alone.
It is easy to become the target of public criticism. Now that Claude is the supreme commander of the theater, the theater logistics department and the intelligence department have to cooperate and can only turn a blind eye to the smuggling activities of the Buffalo Trading Company.
In such a situation, it is better to use interests to bring the two departments together. The Buffalo Trading Company actually has a lot to do. With the same interests, Claude does not need to intimidate his subordinates to execute orders. There are many things that Claude does not need to say.
, can all be solved. For example, the Theater Logistics Department can hand over the useless seized material reserves to the Bison Trading Company for sale, and the Intelligence Department can cooperate with the Bison Trading Company to crack down on other smugglers in the directly-governed territories that are not under their control, etc...
After closing the official document requesting credit for Bokhar, Sir Bennett's civil affairs were next. The last batch of immigrants had arrived and been resettled. The Fourth Rock Division led by General Beach Kerin had been formed. At present,
Currently training. Related to the Thunder Division is the issue of the sale of captured pack horses in the Third Colonial War. More than 5,000 pack horses were pushed to the market, in exchange for nearly 30,000 gold crowns.
A huge amount of money.
Claude led the Thunder Division in the Third Colonial War to annihilate the volunteer light cavalry regiment of the Principality of Karrnath, and captured more than 50,000 war horses and more than 2,000 pack horses and healthy horses, and then annihilated the Kingdom of Nasseri
The total number of captured packhorses and healthy horses reached more than 3,000.
In addition to equipping the 3rd Rock Division led by General Albert with 35,000 war horses, Claude also assigned the rest of the war horses to the troops directly under the theater command and three other divisions. These three
The division's packhorses were all replaced and handed over to Sir Bennett, who then sold them to immigrant families. Nearly 5,000 packhorses were put into the market, which greatly alleviated the shortage of civilian transportation capacity in the directly-administered war zone.
This huge sum of more than 30,000 gold crowns has been transferred to the account of the Thunder Division. The proceeds from the sale of this money as captured trophies will be distributed according to the usual distribution principles of the Kingdom's army. That is, 30% goes to the public and 30% goes to the division.
For all officers, 20% goes to all soldiers, and the last 20% goes to the dead and disabled. Claude only took a look at the money, and it was finally distributed by Colonel Siegfried, the director of the division's logistics department.
.
After a busy afternoon, Claude finally finished handling some urgent business. He was sure that he could handle all the trivial business before the new commander of the theater took office, and would not let the new kingdom general and hereditary earl pick him out in this regard.
What's wrong? Claude also relaxed and prepared to go home to see his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for eight months...
In fact, the women of the Field family have become accustomed to Claude appearing in front of everyone every once in a while. As a major general of the kingdom, they naturally have to work hard for the kingdom. Even if Claude goes to the battlefield, the family rarely worries about him. As his mother said
Like that, Claude is already a general and naturally has guards to protect him. There is no need to charge into battle and risk his life. Her main concern is that her younger brother Blovik is still a small non-commissioned officer and cannon fodder in the war.
.
Caifeni was busy taking care of her second son, and her eldest son had been completely left to his grandmother to take care of. Fortunately, Mr. Veblen, who rented this manor villa to Claude, was considerate and helped Claude find it.
Immigrant family members from the two kingdoms came to do housework and take care of the baby. Therefore, Kaifani’s delivery and raising the baby this time were not as difficult as when she gave birth to her eldest son. In the year after giving birth, she quickly regained her figure and her complexion became better.
Getting better.
When I got home, I first greeted my mother and swore to her that my brother, Little Booker, was alive and kicking and as healthy as a calf on the front line. I finally gave in to my mother’s nagging. Then I went to take a shower, changed clothes, and stayed with Kev.
Ni teased her second son, and soon it was dinner time. After dinner, Claude was about to go to Lan Lake to accompany Caifuni for a walk, but the big man Germi came to report that Veblen
Sir is here.
Mr. Veblen came this time to deliver the latest news to Claude. All General Bolognik got from the Mining and Commerce Association was news about the war zone. Mr. Veblen brought Claude the latest news about mining and commerce.
The various intelligence and gossip about the Kingdom of Hicks and the Royal Capital collected by the association in the Royal Capital was of great help to Claude and was very helpful for him to judge the situation from the overall perspective.
Claude first found the information about the Kingdom of Hicks. Although most of the information about the Kingdom of Hicks collected by the Mining and Commerce Association came from newspapers and gossip, Claude was surprised after reading the information.
He breathed a sigh of relief. There was an internal problem in the Kingdom of Hicks. In a short period of time, it would probably not be able to take care of the Nubisia mainland colony.
The simplest proof is a morning newspaper from the neighboring Kingdom of Breault, which is a neighboring country of Hicks. The newspaper published a report in a gloating tone. The report said that due to the compulsory conscription order by the military of the Kingdom of Hicks, a man named
The local police force of the local county of Lesmenda did not want to go to the mainland of the Nubisian colony, so they robbed the arsenal of the county town and ran to the nearby mountains to raise flags and rebel.
Two or three local police forces sent by the Hicks military were defeated by them, and more people joined the rebel team. The Hicks military had to deploy a standing army to deal with these rebels, but
These rebels went deep into the mountains and hid with the standing army. The war situation has been stalemate for more than a month...
However, the reason why the local police force in Lesmunda County rebelled was not reported much. Claude searched for a long time and could not find any relevant information in the several morning newspapers brought by Mr. Viberda. He had to
I asked Mr. Viberda, are there any other related reports on the news of the rebellion of the Hicks Kingdom’s local security forces?
Mr. Viberda thought for a moment before replying that there was one, and it should be a newspaper from the Menbamark Kingdom, which clearly analyzed the cause of the rebellion. Claude found the newspaper called the White Horse Express, and found it in
The second page found an analysis article about this rebellion.
The article analyzes that the Kingdom of Hicks is a kingdom with a traditional feudal lordship system. The young and powerful King Melchid III hoped to change the lordship system, reduce the force controlled by the territorial nobles, and enhance the power of the royal court, so he made several
A change in policy. One is to grant new territorial nobles to the colonies on the Nubisian continent; the other is to reduce the traditional territories of those noble families and compete one to two or one to three with the colonies of the Nubisian continent.
replacement.
Perhaps in the view of Melchid III, his changes would not arouse fierce opposition from the territorial nobles. After all, the territory of the Kingdom of Hicks was limited, but the number of nobles increased year by year, and several new ones had to be conferred every year.
Territorial nobility, this means that the land that the royal family can control is getting smaller and smaller. If it goes on for a long time, the kingdom may become a principality.
But it is a pity that the nobles of the Kingdom of Hicks are not willing to go to the mainland colony of Nubisia to open up new territories. Anyway, all the nobles have the right to send people to the colonies to mine and explore to find wealth. Why covet a desolate land?
The land bound the fate of his family and descendants there. Therefore, not surprisingly, Melchid III's plan was resisted by all the nobles of the kingdom.
So Melchid III provoked a colonial war with the Kingdom of Ovilas. The seven standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom that were annihilated by Marshal Michelchi in the first two colonial wars actually belonged to the traditional territories of the kingdom.
The power of the nobility. For King Melchid III, he almost wanted to cast a large medal and award it to Marshal Michelchi in recognition of his reduction of the influence of traditional territorial nobility in the army of the Kingdom of Hicks...
But the traditional territorial nobles of the Hicks Kingdom were not fools. They quickly discovered the plot of Melchid III. After all, in addition to losing some money and face in the treasury, the Hicks royal family had lost a lot of money in the previous two colonies.
The failure of the war had no impact on its strength. The seven standing legions that were annihilated were all within the sphere of influence of the traditional territorial nobles, and the officers serving in them were all members of the traditional territorial nobles. But they have now become Overas
Prisoners of the kingdom, even their relatives cannot redeem them because of the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Just as the Hicks Kingdom announced to the outside world that it would establish ten more standing armies to continue this colonial war, all the conscription scope was on the territory of the traditional territorial nobles, and it was also happy to let the traditional territorial nobles serve in these standing armies.
The regiments held the positions of mid-level and senior officers, and the treasury provided money to arm them. However, in the end, these completed standing regiments had to go to the Nubisian continent to participate in the subsequent colonial war.
The sober-minded territorial nobles discovered that this was a disguised way to reduce their influence in the army. If their people won this colonial war, it would be okay. If they failed, it would be embarrassing. Even if they could escape, they would be embarrassed.
None of them can serve in the kingdom's army. In terms of combat effectiveness, a standing army of their kingdom cannot compete with a division of the Kingdom of Overas, especially the enemy's commanding officers, each one is more sophisticated than the last. The most painful thing is that the troops are being
Total annihilation, even the reason why the enemy defeated our own army is not clear.
As a result, the territorial nobles of the Kingdom of Hicks began to resist the order to recruit troops to form ten standing legions within their territory. As a result, the plan of the Hicks military was only half completed. The two standing legions formed first were completed.
After training, they were sent to Nubisia Continental Colony. The next three standing legions finally completed the recruitment task and just started training. The remaining five legions were still on paper and could not even build up the airs of officers.
After the news of the failure of the third colonial war reached the Kingdom of Hicks, the traditional territorial nobles quit. This time, the direct territorial war zone of the Kingdom of Overas launched the first attack, annihilating the three colonies in the colony.
It can be seen from this that the newly formed standing legions are no match for the enemy. Therefore, the traditional territorial nobles asked Melchid III to dispatch some of the eight elite standing legions belonging to the royal family to stabilize the situation in the colony.
.
Melchid III was unwilling to do so. The Kingdom of Hicks had a total of fifteen elite standing legions, seven of which belonged to the traditional aristocratic forces. They were annihilated by Marshal Michelchi in the first two colonial wars. The Kingdom's existing
The eight elite standing legions all belong to the royal family and are the cornerstone of Melchid III's stabilization of the kingdom. He will not send them to the colonies.
So Melchid III sent special envoys to the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas, intending to hire several more main legions from these two countries. However, these two countries also rejected this request, and it was impossible for them to bring the domestic
The few remaining main legions were handed over to the Kingdom of Hicks.
In the end, Melchid III decided to focus on the traditional territorial nobles. He asked the kingdom's military to issue a compulsory conscription order and mobilize the private armies of these traditional territorial nobles, that is, the local security forces of each noble territory, to form a new army with the capabilities of
The combat-capable legion is ready to be transported directly to the mainland of Nubisia.
As a result, these traditional territorial nobles couldn't bear it any longer. Conscription within their territories could be tolerated, but mobilizing their private armies would touch the bottom line of all territorial nobles. With their acquiescence, Lesmenda
The local county's security forces rebelled and directly took over the mountain as king. They even made a big fuss by relying on the geographical location. Behind this was actually the struggle between the traditional territorial nobles and the royal family of the Kingdom of Hicks...
