Chapter 309 The game behind the scenes

"Today we have called everyone here for one thing - to fill the deficit in the accounts!

Everyone must have heard about the investigation team. It's not just a rumor. The Kingdom and the Human Alliance have now sent an investigation team and will arrive at the front line soon.

We are all responsible for the logistics and transportation of the coalition forces. I think everyone knows what I have done since I took office and whether I have embezzled military supplies.

Loss of logistics materials during transportation is bound to happen. Due to various emergencies on the battlefield, occasionally the loss exceeds the limit, and the outbound and inbound data do not match, which is also a normal phenomenon.

These are unspoken rules in the military. As long as they do not exceed the limit, generally no one will pursue them.

But this time was an exception. Someone was cheating, and the unspoken rules in the general were brought to the surface.

Now the Alliance Council wants to get serious with us. So there is no way. If there is a deficit in the area that is responsible for it, whoever is responsible will be responsible for the aftermath.

I don't care whether I find ways to make up for the shortfall or find reasons to explain to the investigation team.

Anyway, the problem must be solved, and we cannot let everyone be dragged down along with it, and be despised by the world with the reputation of being greedy and reselling military supplies!

I will give you ten days. After ten days, the logistics department will organize manpower to conduct a self-examination. If there is a deficit in the area in charge, whoever is responsible will take responsibility.

This matter is very serious, and the problem cannot be solved by introducing a few scapegoats.

If you have any luck, you will end up harming others and yourself. Once the investigation team finds out the problem, people will die!

If you have any questions, you can ask Duke Pias. I believe that His Excellency the Duke will give you a satisfactory answer here!"

At the military meeting of the Logistics Department, Hudson said indifferently.

The investigation team from the Human Alliance came here not just to investigate the reselling of logistical supplies, but also had a greater political significance behind it.

Otherwise, even if there is an investigation, people from several countries responsible for logistics and transportation will be roped in and sent over to investigate.

It is very regrettable that the news that Hudson found out was that the Human Alliance sent a separate investigation team. They even excluded people from the four northern countries from the investigation team on the grounds of avoiding suspicion.

Hudson was not surprised that the Principality of Moxi, the Kingdom of Warhammer, and the Principality of Alton received such treatment, but targeting the Alpha Kingdom in this way was a bit excessive.

As the most powerful country in the north, the Alpha Kingdom is also ranked as a major force among the entire human race. Even though its vitality is severely damaged now, it is still a major force among the human race.

Under normal circumstances, given the Alpha Kingdom's status in the Human Alliance, it would be impossible for everyone to do something so extreme.

After all, from the time the coalition launched its counterattack to the present, there have been no major omissions in logistics, and the performance of the Logistics Department is absolutely excellent.

In this era where heroes are judged by their results, even if someone makes a report, the Alliance Council should suppress the issue first and then investigate slowly after the war is over.

Now that the investigation is being launched in such a hurry, if the problem is really found, is it possible that all the logistics departments that have performed well can be replaced?

Even if the investigation team has such courage, who can guarantee that after the replacement, the successor can do better than now?

If something goes wrong later and the coalition forces on the front line are killed because the logistics cannot keep up, who will bear the responsibility?

In the world of aristocrats, there is never absolute right or wrong. The behavior of the Alliance Council at this moment is obviously aimed at the distribution of interests after the war.

Whether they want to admit it or not, the Alpha Kingdom made the greatest contribution to this war, followed closely by the Principality of Moxi and the Warhammer Kingdom.

According to traditional practice, the country that pays the most should also take the largest share of the pie.

There is no doubt that this is just an ideal state. Countless years ago, this model of fair distribution based on contribution was broken by a group of unruly guys.

This time is no exception. It's one thing that everyone looks down on the Orc Prairie, but that doesn't mean everyone is willing to see the Alpha Kingdom continue to expand into the Orc Prairie.

If there is a fair distribution, the Alpha Kingdom can take away at least one-third of the orc prairie, which is equivalent to doubling the territory.

Once such a large territory is developed, the Alpha Kingdom will really grow in size. There will be no force in the northern land that can check and balance them.

Even if Caesar III made a promise to give up territorial claims on the Orc Steppe, it still could not reassure everyone.

It's just a verbal promise and can be voided at any time. Besides, if the Alpha Kingdom doesn't take any land, it doesn't mean that the kingdom's nobles won't participate in dividing the spoils.

Even if a new country is divided, the broken bones are still connected. With its geographical advantage, the Alpha Kingdom can still slowly annex the Orc Steppe.

For the purpose of strategic checks and balances, other major human forces must take action. Originally, everyone was still worried about finding a reason to kick the Alpha Kingdom out, but unexpectedly the opportunity came to their doorstep.

As long as it is confirmed that the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are involved in reselling strategic materials, then everyone can kick them out naturally.

Without the leading party, even if the Alpha Kingdom regains its strength, it will be difficult to complete its expansion into the orc prairie under the attention of all major forces.

The inside truth is all Hudson's personal speculation, and naturally it is impossible to tell it openly.

The nobles present, even if they don't find the problem now, will slowly figure it out after a while.

But you know, you know, this does not prevent Hudson from using the topic to draw hatred towards Duke Pias. Since it is a feud, it is natural to start with hatred.

Perhaps aware of the unkind looks from everyone, Duke Pias hurriedly explained: "Earl Hudson, I am also confused about this matter.

To be honest, the report to the Alliance has nothing to do with the Locknard family. Even I only found out about it recently.

After receiving the news, I ordered the recall of that idiot Geoff as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it was too late, as the person involved had already disappeared in the Frankish Kingdom.

According to the investigation of Geoff, we found that he has been in contact with many forces recently.

The most eye-catching thing is the July Cult Meeting.

Geoff suddenly reported to the Alliance Council without notifying his family, probably because he was under the control of a cult organization!"

There were many suspects, but the July Society was the easiest to bully. Without evidence, Duke Pias did not dare to offend anyone casually, so he could only pick out this soft persimmon.

"Duke Pias, are you sure you are not joking?

Everyone must be aware of how strict the alliance parliament's review is. It is simply impossible to rely on evil methods to control members of the assembly and sneak into the venue.

Even if it was the work of the cult's July Society, it was only through Geoff's active cooperation that he could avoid detection.

He belongs to the Locknard family, and he also represents the Locknard family's seat in the alliance. Now that something has happened, it doesn't matter, do you think this is reasonable?"

Earl Pierce asked angrily.

As the most deceived being, he no longer cares about the previous agreement with the Rocknard family. He has lost interest in continuing the alliance with such pig teammates.

It is important to attack Hudson, but it also requires methods. Even if it is reported to the kingdom that Hudson is embezzling military supplies, Earl Pierce will accept it.

This kind of disagreement directly broke the news and reported it to the Human Alliance Council. He really couldn't figure out what the Locknard family wanted to do.

He didn't believe a word of Duke Pias's explanation, or rather he didn't want to believe it.

Geoff is a core member of the Locknard family, and he also holds important positions such as Alliance Councilor. There will definitely be no shortage of expert guards around him.

It was very difficult for the people of the July Society to get close to him, let alone use evil methods to control him and manipulate him to file a report in the Alliance Council.

If it was really that powerful, the July Society would have turned the Alpha Kingdom upside down long ago, and it wouldn't be a cult organization until now.

Even if you want to pass the blame, you have to choose a powerful character who is more likely to be accepted by everyone.

"Your Excellency, although the matter seems unreasonable, it is indeed the truth.

Think about it, what good will it do to me to report the coach to the league council, something that is taboo?"

Duke Pias tried hard to explain.

He really couldn't afford to take the blame. It could be seen from the murderous looks of the nobles that today's meeting was a "Hongmen Banquet" aimed at him.

If the explanation is clear, the Rocknard family is still a major noble in the Alpha Kingdom; if they are blamed, they don't need to hang out in the aristocratic circle.

"snort!"

After a cold shout, Earl Pierce regained his rationality and did not continue to launch an "offensive".

After all, they have a common enemy. If the Rocknard family is really killed, it will not do any good to the Dalton family.

Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled knowingly. It was undoubtedly the easiest way to pit the two enemies against each other.

The estrangement has been buried. It will not be so easy for the two families to cooperate in the future.

"Duke Pias, since you have given your explanation now, I will believe you for now.

However, the incident was ultimately caused by the Locknard family, and the responsibility should still be borne.

My demands are not high, as long as the Locknard family can make up for this loss, I don’t have to worry about this incident!"

Count Carles's last-ditch follow-up attack undoubtedly reminded all the nobles present.

Regardless of whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes, the Locknard family must be held responsible for this incident. Otherwise, where can everyone make up for their losses?

The July Society is that kind of cult organization that is so poor that it has nothing left but death. Even if they catch people, they don’t have the money to compensate everyone for their losses!

"What Carles said is right, this incident was caused by the Locknard family, and they must be held responsible for it.

My demands are not high, as long as His Excellency the Duke can get enough strategic materials and balance the accounts for us, the matter will be over!"

Count Martinez said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, he was forced to marry by three of the twelve earls of the kingdom, and Hudson also roughly saw the existence of the circle.

There is no doubt that these three families are obviously politically united. Otherwise, they would not jump out at this time and attack the Locknard family together.

In a sense, this was also forced out by Hudson. Originally, everyone was just looking after their own families and trying to find ways to make up for the shortfall.

However, as Hudson made the task clear just now, not only did everyone have to make up for their own shortfalls, but they also had to pay off the accounts of their subordinates to be done.

Without any surprise, Earl Pierce became the biggest unlucky guy. They were both nobles from the southeastern province and had many relatives and friends. Naturally, Hudson would take care of him.

Earl Pierce got a fat job, and his subordinates also got fat jobs. It was great when he was reselling strategic materials to make money, but now it's miserable when he fills the hole.

To suddenly spend a huge amount of money to make up for the shortfall, even the big nobles would have to break their muscles, let alone the small and medium-sized nobles.
