Chapter five hundred and forty-two see off and transportation
Chapter 542: Farewell and Transportation
Claude was really annoyed that his family kept causing trouble for him. Why should they go back to White Deer City at this time? It was still in ruins and the day of reconstruction was far away. Besides, those former neighbors of White Deer City were old acquaintances after the civil war in the kingdom.
There was not much left. At this time, mother Kaifani and the others went back, which was like arriving in a strange place. If anything happened, they would not be able to take care of them.
Claude had no choice but to prepare a carriage and rush to the train station as quickly as possible. Because his mother and the others had obtained train tickets from nowhere, they were going to get on the bus and go to the Port of Corbicius to take a boat back to the kingdom. This trip even attracted the attention of the manager of Field Manor.
Svenson was kept in the dark until his mother and the others packed their luggage and were ready to set off before they realized that he was also going to White Deer City.
Claude summoned his adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes: "Send someone to the Military Intelligence Department to find out who helped my mother and the others arrange this trip..."
Arriving at the train station, Claude found that he seemed to have gone astray. His mother and Kaifani seemed not to be running away from home, but to go out for fun. This was because they were taking a compartment instead of buying tickets to get on the train.
.In addition, there were many people seeing him off, all of them ladies who had been to Field Manor. Then Claude saw that the old butler Yaric was also there, and his mother was giving him some instructions...
Claude forced a smile, nodded to those who greeted him, and then squeezed through the ladies. On the way, he didn't know who grabbed his lower body. This was probably where
When the lady saw that Claude's wife Caifen was going to travel far away, she wanted to try to seduce Claude.
When the mother saw Claude appearing in front of her, her face suddenly darkened. She looked at Claude coldly, as if looking at an enemy: "What are you doing here?"
"No, okay, why do you want to go back to the kingdom?" There were many people around, and Claude couldn't bear to look at them coldly, so he had to compromise.
"I want to go back and see your father. I haven't visited his grave for so many years." Mother said with some emotion, and then she said with a straight face: "Aren't you very busy? If you have nothing to do, just go back...
"
"I always visit my father's grave..." Claude said, this is the truth. Every time he passes by White Deer City, he will visit Mr. Morsant's grave. After all, White Deer City is just over the cemetery.
Intact: "Then why are Kaifani and the others going back? Emilysa is only so old..."
Kaifani held her little daughter and turned around. She still didn't want to talk to Claude. But her little daughter Amelysa was very happy. She was not yet four years old and was very interested in the lively scene in front of her.
, looking around with his big eyes open. As for Claude's fifteen-year-old second son, Baiergassi, he was sitting in a corner of the carriage, quietly looking down at a book in his hand, as if these lively people beside him
Farewell has nothing to do with him.
"Kafni received a letter from her sister Catherine. The letter said that her sister's family had returned to White Deer City, and her brother-in-law Gerald had returned to White Deer City to take up a job, so Kaifani decided to take the children back to have a look." The mother was very happy.
He gave Kaifuni a rare explanation, and then immediately said, "Go back, it's none of your business here, don't be an eyesore here. I want to say a few words to them..."
In the first half of last year, Kaifani finally received a letter from her missing sister Catherine. The letter said that before the civil war in the kingdom, the Storm Fleet in White Deer City rebelled and was going to defect to Prince Hansback. Kaifani's brother-in-law Gera
De was also kidnapped at the time, but along the way he gathered his friends and former men from the Shark Club, seized three boats and returned to White Deer City. Then he took their families with them and ran to the stormy waters to occupy a remote island, and lived half of their lives.
The secluded life of a thief and half-smuggler.
In fact, Gerald has been to the overseas dominions several times and inquired about the Claude family. However, he did not want to come and seek refuge with Claude because the current situation of the Storm Fleet members who had taken refuge in the overseas dominions made him a little discouraged.
Feeling cold. Those navies who came to take refuge in the overseas autonomous territories had a difficult life because they were unwilling to join the war zones of the territories directly under the jurisdiction at that time. They could only earn a little money by transporting goods for people in the coastal waters of the territories directly under the jurisdiction and exchange them for drinks.
Later, the civil war in the kingdom subsided, and the remnants of the Storm Fleet, which had taken refuge in the overseas territories, were also preparing to return to the country. They called Gerald, who was making a living in the storm waters, over. But to their surprise, Sterling Eleven
Shi did not reuse them, but sent them to serve as patrol squadrons in coastal waters to protect the safety of the Ibiniste Plain.
Those days were very difficult, and military pay was rarely paid and often late. Gerald sometimes wanted to go back to the stormy sea to do his own smuggling business. However, when Frederick I came to power, he began to pay attention to the navy again, but the kingdom had no money at that time.
There was no ability to build another fearless fleet. Then the Debt War broke out, and then the alliance army invaded the kingdom itself and occupied most of the kingdom.
At that time, Gerald's Kingdom Cruise Squadron only had about a dozen light battleships. They were part of the navy and could not go ashore to fight the Alliance forces. They could only fight guerrillas at sea, harass ports occupied by the Alliance forces, or intercept them.
They robbed the ships that transported supplies to the Alliance Army, but they made a lot of contributions in this war. Now that the treasury has money, some money has been allocated to the Kingdom's Navy Department, and naval officers like Gerald have been promoted.
Reuse.
A few days ago, Catherine sent another letter to her sister. However, Claude was in the middle of a cold war with Kaifani and did not know the content of the letter. It was only after listening to her mother that she understood that the love was for Gerald's promotion.
After returning to White Deer City to take up a post, Catherine wrote a letter to Kaifani, asking her sister to go to White Deer City for a sister reunion, so Kaifani took away her two children, Byrgacy and Alyssa...
..
Claude also wanted to persuade his mother and Kaifuni a few more words, hoping that they would wait for a while and wait until he was done with his work before sending them back to the kingdom. But his mother had no time to pay attention to him. Instead, she thought he was in the way and only focused on talking to those people.
The lady who was seeing him off spoke. But Kaifuni ignored him. The carriage was full of people. Claude had no choice but to exit the carriage and gave up his seat to the ladies who came to see him off. The false sentiments of those women were heard in the carriage again.
Fake flattery and compliments.
"Sir..." The old butler Yaric appeared next to Claude.
Claude nodded: "Are you okay, Alec? Why did my mother call you here?"
"I'm fine, sir." The old butler Yaric saluted Claude: "The old lady and Madam Kefni called me over because they wanted to stay in White Deer City for a while when they returned to the kingdom, so they asked me to
Put the monthly income dividends of the tobacco workshops into the Overseas Minsheng Bank, and send special personnel to deliver the money orders to them every six months..."
The last time Claude took stock of the family's assets, he took back all the shares in the industries he participated in in the overseas dominions that had been given to Caifuni for safekeeping, leaving her with only 30% of the share income of the family's tobacco workshop.
Her daily expenses. This part of the income is not a small amount. The business is so good that she gets more than 10,000 gold crowns in dividends every month.
Unexpectedly, she and her mother were still thinking about these profits when they returned to the kingdom this time. They specially asked the old housekeeper Yarik to deposit all the dividends from the shares in the bank, and then send a special person to send her a bank transfer draft every six months.
....
Originally, Claude came to the station with the intention of persuading his mother and Kaifuni not to mess around, and was planning to take them home. But who would have thought that after arriving, he would realize that there were so many noble ladies coming to help his mother and Kaifuni.
They saw them off. If this caused a scene at the station and spread, it would be a joke, but now he couldn't squeeze into the carriage to persuade his mother and the others...
The train blew its whistle, which meant that it was about to start. The ladies in the carriage also began to get off the car and say goodbye to their mother, Caifuni and the others. Claude was about to enter the carriage again and try hard, but was stopped by the old housekeeper Ya
Rick stopped him: "Sir, let them go. I know everything about the manor. You are doing the right thing. The old lady and Mrs. Kefni sometimes lose their temper when they don't want to think about it, so let them go back to the kingdom."
It’s good to take a trip to relax.
You don’t have to worry about safety. I asked Sergeant Kester to bring seven hired gunmen to protect the safety of their party. These seven gunmen are all retired veterans and are security guards of the tobacco factory. They know everything about everything and are loyal and reliable. Yes.
With them next to them, there is absolutely no problem with the safety of the second young master, the young lady, and the madam. Moreover, Svenson also brought a few servants to follow the madam and them this time. As long as he is here, nothing will happen...
..”
Claude stopped and thought about it for a while and felt that the old butler Yaric was right. Because he threw his eldest son Tesore into the military camp and forced him to join the army, his mother and his wife Kaifni looked at him.
They are like life-and-death enemies. Even if he forces them to stay at Field Manor, he is asking for trouble, and the relationship will still not improve. It is better to let them go back to the kingdom to relax, as the old butler Alec said.
.
When the train began to move forward slowly on the rails, and the farewell people waved to the carriage, Claude had already bid farewell to the old butler Yaric, boarded the carriage, and drove to the military headquarters. When he arrived, he entered
As soon as he entered the office, Claude received a piece of information from the Military Intelligence Department. The itinerary of his mother and the others was clear from this information.
There is a member of the Dominion Parliament named Braes Bel Willis, who is engaged in animal husbandry and leather processing. This time he plans to devote himself to ocean shipping, and invests in establishing an ocean trading firm in partnership with friends, which also operates in the port of Copicius.
This is the route to Bailu City. However, the four ocean-going cargo ships and one ocean-going luxury liner customized by their ocean-going trading firm are all iron-clad ships. This is the only one in overseas autonomous territories. Its launch some time ago caused a sensation among the people...
...
Now these five armored ships are ready and are about to embark on their first voyage to the Kingdom. Congressman Blaes Belwillis also invites his relatives and friends to board the luxury ocean liner to enjoy this famous voyage.
The ironclad ship Martha was on her maiden voyage, and she was also preparing to take her wife and children to the royal capital for a sightseeing trip.
Mrs. Braes is a frequent visitor to Field Manor. It is said that she has a good relationship with Claude's mother and they often have afternoon tea together. Therefore, she showed off the fact that she would take a luxury ocean liner to the mainland of the kingdom and then visit the royal capital.
It was a way to save face. As a result, Mrs. Keffney found out about this, so she decided to ask her mother to ask Mrs. Braes if she could buy some tickets for her family to return to White Deer City to see the ancestral property.
...
When Congressman Blaes Belwillist heard from his wife that Marshal Claude's mother and his wife, Mrs. Kefni, were also going to return to the kingdom's mainland on his own ocean-going luxury liner, he was overjoyed.
.Immediately patted his chest and said that he would reserve the best first class cabin for them. At the same time, he also paid for a luxury carriage on the train that the railway company was traveling on today, and asked his wife to accompany Marshal Claude's mother, wife and children.
Boat ride from the port of Corpicus.
It was precisely because of the attentiveness shown by Councilor Blais Belwillis that the steward Swenson and the servants did not know that mother and Caifeni had made plans to return to White Deer City. They did not find out until they were about to set off and hurriedly sent someone.
Delivering a message to Claude. Even if Claude arrives at the station, the end is already done. Unless he turns his back and sends someone to forcefully take them off the bus, there is no way he can stop them from returning to White Deer City...
After reading the information in his hand, Claude was speechless. He knew very well that Congressman Blaes Bay Willis was courting his mother and wife just to have a relationship with him. It was a pity that he
The flattery was all on the horse's lap, and he didn't know that his relationship with his mother and Kaifani was in a very bad situation. If there was anything wrong with Tesore in the military camp, his mother and Kaifani would be in trouble.
Ni will definitely wish she could eat herself alive...
Forget it, it's going to rain and they have to go back. There's nothing that can stop them. The old housekeeper, Alec, is right. It would be good to let them go out and relax for a while. I hope they can wake up. As for safety
There's no need to worry about this problem. Svenson is with them and can help them solve any problems. Besides, the old butler Yaric also arranged for Sergeant Buster and seven gunmen to escort them. Generally speaking, they won't.
Did you encounter any danger?
Besides, the five iron-clad ships belonging to Councilor Braes Bel Willis did not travel alone, but went to the Kingdom mainland together with the ocean cruising fleet from the overseas autonomous territories. They were escorted by nearly a hundred sail warships.
, of course, now this sailing battleship is also used as a transport ship. During this trip, 200,000 new rifles and 10 million rounds of ammunition will be delivered to the Kingdom's Ministry of War. There is also an armored squadron to escort, plus this
I am very familiar with this maritime channel, and there will be no problems during this half-month trip at sea...
Claude rubbed his brows and said, forget it, let's leave it at that. He picked up a new Falcon letter on his desk and saw that it was from Colonel Bockard again. The letter said
Due to the ban on trade by the eight colonies on the west coast against overseas autonomous territories, and the increasingly stringent patrols of the colonial waters of various countries, offshore smuggling has almost become extinct. In other words, goods from overseas autonomous territories can no longer be transported to the colonies of various countries through smuggling ships.
.
Since the ban on trade has been implemented in the colonies of various countries on the west coast for half a year, the market of the colonies of the Molossik Kingdom has resulted in the fact that except for the goods produced in the Kingdom of Molossik, there is no longer any goods from overseas autonomous territories.
The high prices and low quality of the goods from the Kingdom of Morosik have caused great dissatisfaction among the people in the colonies. There have been many transaction disputes and even several riots in various places, but they have all been suppressed.
Colonel Bokoal said that the current situation is very good, and the recruitment and assembly of young men from the Pamigar people are also being carried out secretly. However, due to the scarcity of some supplies and high prices on the market, the half-blood Baron Tezzinger Nora
Taganem was unable to raise the military supplies needed for the training of 20,000 young men. Therefore, Colonel Bokoal hoped that the autonomous military region could organize a transportation team to transport a batch of military supplies to them along the land channel they opened.
, lest the more than 10,000 young men who have been assembled cannot persist due to lack of supplies...
What a headache. Unexpected situations always happen like this. According to the original plan, the Dominion Military Region only needed to provide weapons and equipment to the Pamigal National Liberation Front formed by the mixed-race baron, and then recruit a volunteer division to help them launch an armed uprising.
During this period, grassroots officers were sent to help the armed division formed by the Pamigal people conduct military training. As for the required food, grass and military supplies, the Pamigal people prepared themselves.
Unexpectedly, the Pamigal people could not even raise military supplies and needed support from overseas autonomous territories. Claude thought for a while and could only make the next step. He pulled the summoning bell, and Adjutant Mason Hughes
The lieutenant colonel came in. Claude told him to ask Congressman Andercolos Rojoist of the Dominion Council to come to the military headquarters to discuss important matters.
Congressman Andercolos Le. Joyster was the Congressman who asked the Dominion Military District to declare war after hearing the ban on trade in the eight colonies on the west coast. Since he was promoted to a hereditary baron in the kingdom, he added the word "column" to his name.
, was granted a title by His Majesty the King. His family opened seventeen daily necessities workshops in overseas autonomous territories. The ban on trade in the eight colonies on the west coast had a great impact on his family.
Councilor Andecolos Le. Joyster arrived at Claude's office an hour later. He was a little confused. He didn't know what Claude, who was famous in the Dominion, wanted to do with him. Although the two had met, they
It was just a nod of friendship, not a close relationship. For him, Claude was someone he looked up to.
"I hope that everything you heard here today will be kept in your own heart, and you will be responsible for the consequences if you leak it." Claude said this first, and then stopped Councilor Andecolos Le Joyster from speaking.
On impulse, he went to the map and briefly introduced the wildfire plan before telling him:
"We now have a secret land passage leading to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik. We can hand over this secret land passage to you and let it become your smuggling trade route, but you are responsible for helping us
Transport a batch of military supplies there. It’s not that we can’t organize the army to transport this batch of supplies, but we have to take precautions to avoid falling into the trap.
If it is a smuggling caravan organized by your own people, it will have nothing to do with our Dominion Military Region when it is discovered. But if our Military Region organizes troops to transport supplies, it will easily involve the entire overseas Dominion in the armed uprising that is about to break out on the West Coast.
.So our military region must act with caution..."
"Stop talking, Mr. Marshal, let me do it! Let me be responsible for these things..." Councilor Anderkolos Le. Joyster could no longer suppress the excitement and surprise in his heart and stood up.
