Chapter 520 Disassembly and Diversion
"... This is the largest military manufacturing workshop in the Naseli Kingdom, the Royal Military Industry of the Cambun Valley. However, after inspection, we found that the machinery and equipment here were actually the same as the one we landed and robbed in White Hart City. The level of machinery and equipment in the military manufacturing workshops in Palevia County is not much different, and it is not the most advanced in Farrea. According to the requirements of the royal court, these military industries and workshops in the Nasseri area belong to the Nasseri royal family. All are shut down. I don't know how many more machines and equipment are available here after three years ... "
Claude led General Bolognik and his party to a valley, Camben Valley, the largest and most well-known military industry in the former Nasseri Kingdom, capable of producing light and medium artillery. It is said that the Nasiri royal family of this military manufacturing workshop holds 69% of the shares, and the weapons and equipment produced by it are used to arm the standing army of the Nasiri kingdom. Compared with the size of this military industry, the remaining two military industries in the Nasser Kingdom are actually earth workshops, which can only be used to repair guns and spare parts for the production of weapons, or general daily-type armaments.
Whatever General Bolognik did, he had been with Claude for a long time. When Claude brought them here, he naturally understood what Claude was thinking. He raised an eyebrow at Claude: "Why, are you going to tear this up?"
Claude smiled: "You know, if these machinery and equipment are stored and left unattended, then it will be a pile of scrap iron after three years. Especially these hydraulic machinery, we can imagine what kind of rust will be then. A month later, the royal court is not going to have a special envoy. His purpose is not to transport the gold and silver we have seized from the Treasury of the Nasiri Kingdom back to the capital, and to seal the real estate industry of the Nasiri royal family. What I mean is to dismantle and dismantle these and sell them, so as not to put things in here and seal them up and waste them ... "
Since Frederick I and Wang Ting insisted on leaving both the Thunder and the Rock Corps to work in these newly-occupied areas, Claude would not be polite, and first find some compensation for himself and the two Legions. The biggest difference between General Bolognik. General Bolognik is an old-fashioned and loyal soldier. He will not question the orders given by him. Just as he believes that the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Blanchard, has revealed to him in private, the Kingdom is preparing to trust the newly occupied area to two legions of overseas autonomous territories. Defend, as compensation for merit.
Claude would not believe these illusory promises, and even the best words in private would be countless. As long as Wang Ting did not formally issue a trusteeship order, everything would be a blank check. General Bolognik also argued with Claude for this, and he believed that the meaning of Frederick I and the Royal Court must be true. Because the kingdom is currently short of money, the best strategy is to do nothing. It is necessary to securely collect taxes and tribute for several years in these newly occupied areas, accumulate some funds for the royal family and the treasury before making other plans.
Nothing can be done without money, and so is a kingdom. After years of brutal war, the kingdom of Ovilas has actually become a wrecked ship. It desperately needs a stable period of time to restore vitality. It is also helpless for the two regiments of the Overseas Autonomous Command to guard these newly occupied areas. Because the military expenses of the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps do not need to be paid by the kingdom, these newly occupied areas are also obtained through the struggle of the two legions. The kingdom can only use the commercial benefits of these newly occupied areas for the next three years to reward the two The meritorious deeds established by the Legion are actually a transaction ...
However, Claude only asked a question and made General Bolognik dumb. The total area of the newly occupied area is already twice that of the Kingdom, and the total population is not much smaller than that of the Kingdom. This is a huge sales market. If the Kingdom really allows the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps to collect taxes for the Kingdom for three years, then only the goods and commodities produced by overseas dominions can be shipped to these regions for sale, and you can get Great business gain.
The question is: Will the noble family members of the kingdom be willing to hand over such huge business gains to the two legions to watch the overseas dominion businessmen make a fortune? General Bolognik could not answer. These old aristocratic families of the kingdom have pushed Frederick I to the top, and their contributions must not be ignored. In addition, they have suffered huge losses in the wars of recent years. What should Frederick I and the royal court do? To compensate them ...
Who hasn't mastered a few small workshops to produce some daily necessities or something? In order to return the two legions of overseas autonomous regions to the kingdom, the kingdom has moved the cheeses of these old aristocratic families and released the kingdom. Commercial restrictions in various local counties, allowing overseas dominions to form ten commercial banks to conduct various free commercial trade in various local counties in the kingdom, is abandoning the pricing power and trading power dominated by the old noble family.
At that time, the kingdom was persecuted by the Alliance forces and was facing the crisis of the country. The power of the old aristocracy was helpless. Now that the end of the war has been determined, the kingdom of Ovilas has become the party that ultimately wins. Then the noble family members of the kingdom will naturally try to make up for their losses from other places. Claude is convinced that this plan of entrusting the newly occupied regions to the Thunder and Rock Corps will inevitably cause great setbacks in the court.
The fact that the kingdom has no money does not mean that these old aristocratic families have no money. Otherwise, the Red Dragon Army and the Griffin Army will not have their arms and supplies replenished and the salary and welfare subsidies owed for more than half a year. Can sustain it. In the troubled times, soldiers are the most important support. They also belong to the old noble family forces in the kingdom, and they are willing to pay for the two legions because they believe that the current pay will receive greater returns and benefits in the future.
So Claude thought very clearly that no matter how good a promise is, it would be useless nonsense. He has no power to move things like land and mines, so he took the opportunity to sell everything he could sell as a reward for the two legions to keep the newly occupied areas free for the kingdom. Don't look at the machinery and equipment of the Nasri Kingdom's largest military industry. It is not the most advanced, but all of them are dismantled and shipped to overseas dominions. At least they can sell two or three million kronor, which is enough for two regiments for one or two years Military expenditure.
What these overseas dominions need most now are these large-scale forging and refining machinery and equipment. The military manufacturing in the autonomous region has already met the production needs, but the demand for these large-scale forging and refining machinery and equipment by the civilians of the autonomous region is very strong. Besides, not only the production of railway tracks, but also some shipbuilders invested by the private sector Fang also began to prepare to build ocean-going ocean carriers. General Scrie's letter to Claude stated that the return of some large forging and refining machinery and equipment from the continent of Fareia would be in short supply.
Since Wang Ting was going to seal up the military industry here, naturally Crowder didn't mind dismantling the machinery and equipment here and returning it to overseas autonomous territories. What if the envoy of the Kingdom came to see him? There is no way to stop Claude's order, and it is enough that Claude will give some compensation based on the waste price three years later. It is nothing more than tens of thousands of kronor, and there is no need to make a fuss.
"I have sent people to register for the technical workers who originally worked in the military industry here. Most of them have agreed to bring their families to overseas autonomous territories. There are more than 3,000 people together with their families and more than 10,000.
These are skilled immigrants. I have written to General Scree and Mr. Wibren. They will arrange the personal industries and jobs of these skilled immigrants. It is best to join our military industry first, and the rest will be allocated to railway commercial banks. And shipbuilding workshops ... "
Claude and General Bolognik walked along the road of this military manufacturing workshop, and the guards were scattered more than ten meters away, so as not to disturb the private conversation between the two generals.
"Okay," General Bolognik nodded. "The next time you take prisoners to overseas dominions, you will take care of them on the ship. By the way, Claude, my staff has several staff members who propose to leave the ocean transport fleet next time. The eastern route can save four or five days of sea voyage and avoid the trouble of sailing along the coast of the kingdom. What do you think ... "
Now the transport fleet escorted by the ocean cruise fleet of the Overseas Dominion also departs from the Port of Corbicus in Tirsim, Dominion, crosses the quiet ocean and the stormy sea, reaches White Deer City, and then reaches the kingdom along the coastline of the kingdom to Limoges. The Florik harbour in the Della area is somewhat long. At the same time, the goods ashore from Floric Harbor will have to reach the Royal City of Polynesia by land transportation for up to a month.
To put it simply, the materials shipped from the Overseas Dominion to the Royal Polynesian City where the Thunder Corps is located require a month's sea voyage and a month's land trip. Two months were spent on the road. Now nearly 100,000 prisoners of war in the Nasser Kingdom are searching for their families and preparing to force them to immigrate to the Atullas State of the Overseas Dominion to grow tobacco. If you continue to use the old transportation routes, it may take more than two months.
Claude shook his head: "No, the best route on the sea is the west line. The east line is too dangerous for us. At least we can't guarantee that we can safely pass through the waters of the Nubari Islands. It was a paradise for pirates. Before the route from White Deer City to Tirsim was opened, the Kingdom's fearless fleet escorted the transport fleet to the east line, and each time they were attacked by pirates, causing great losses and heavy casualties. The east line was said to be a **** road .
Although our overseas dominion already has an armored fleet, it is invincible at sea. However, last year, the Iron Armored Fleet battled with the Hidden King's Neptune Fleet and suffered equally serious injuries. Most of the armored warships returned to the autonomous territory of Patras for overhaul, and it took at least seven or eight months to regroup.
Now, I have four iron armored destroyers in good condition in the Gulf of Florida to perform patrol missions in coastal waters. Do you think that these four iron armored destroyers and ocean cruise fleets can **** such a huge size, more than three hundred ships? Does the fleet of ocean-going ships pass through the eastern pirate paradise safely?
If it is all about transporting materials, I have no objection to taking the eastern route, so even if the loss is suffered by a pirate attack, it is also the material, not human life. But we are transporting nearly 100,000 captives and their families, so don't take this risk. The so-called trouble of walking along the coast of the kingdom is nothing more than the difficulty of encountering local officials during the replenishment, which is actually a trivial matter.
Do n’t forget that we still have a gun in our hands. Now no one dares to really offend us. In the end, we will directly send the entire family of local officials who have made us difficult to mine and grow tobacco. The supply of our fleet in coastal towns is not without payment. Each time the fleet supplies along the way, it actually brings local economic income.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for our local administrative officials to be hostile to our overseas autonomous command zone, so we do n’t have to be polite or take care of anything, we just do it. We wo n’t lose before this lawsuit is hit. What happened to our two legions, I believe that Her Majesty and Wang Ting will also give us face ... "
After listening to Claude, General Bolognik laughed. He said with emotion: "Claude, five people in our autonomous region, Allen is brave but not good at strategy, Bike is honest and steady but has a good personality. Scree is thoughtful but cares too much, and I am also older I started to think a lot, and my courage has become smaller, and I do n’t want to offend people. Only you still have that spirit and do n’t fear any risk. We in the Autonomous Leadership Region can have today, and really it ’s your credit, without you Our present scenery.
No wonder Marshal Michelle said to me when he left that the only one of the five of us who could really rely on you at the crucial moment was that he let me not think too much when I faced an unpredictable crisis in the territory directly under the Central Government. Any decision is up. Because you can find us a way when you are out of the way, just like your ingenious tactics and warfare during the sand table exercise, all of us have a headache ... "
Claude didn't say anything, he just patted General Bolognik's left shoulder. These friendships need no words, so many years of ups and downs have united the five generals of the Autonomous Leadership Region, and share the same glory and disgrace. It is just that General Bolognik mentioned that Marshal Michelle made Claude feel a little bit embarrassed. Without Marshal Michelle's attention and promotion, Crowd would not have reached such a high position in just ten years. .
"Haven't we found the whereabouts of Field Marshal Michelki?" Asked Claude.
General Bolognik shook his head: "No, the news we heard was that after Marshal Michele was assassinated, he took his family back to his hometown to heal him. His hometown is Parkrigason, northeast of the Kingdom. A small mountain village in the hills. We sent people there and found that the small mountain village was burned into white ground long before the kingdom ’s civil war. There was no mountain people found nearby, so we never knew Michelle General Qi's life and death could not find his whereabouts. I began to wonder if someone had murdered the Marshal's family ... "
Crowd said suddenly: "Forget it, there will always be a day when the Marshal comes out. If the Marshal's family is really murdered, then we will avenge him."
"That's natural," General Bolognik nodded. "He's our teacher. It's natural for students to take revenge for their teachers. I will never let go of the murderers who murdered the teacher's family!"
The two walked a few more steps, and Claude asked, "It's really so difficult for the kingdom's current financial situation? So even the gold and silver reserves of one million kronor are anxious to send a special envoy over to transport them away? When I think of it, I think It is ridiculous that no one has been chosen as the supervisor and has been resisted by officials. However, sending a special envoy to transport gold and silver is rushing to come over. By the way, have our spoils been divided? Do n’t let that special envoy arrive Here we see what we have so many seizures .... "
General Bolognik was responsible for this, and he replied with a smile: "Just rest assured, the 20 million gold and silver coins and gold and silver reserves have been shipped to overseas dominions and will be deposited in overseas minsheng banks, except for repayment of previous loans. It will become the military fund reserve of our military region. There are also more precious jewellery and art treasures worth ten million kronor, which are also shipped away. Apart from some auctions in the Dominion, the rest will be allocated to five of us.
In addition, those gold and silver tableware and the like are also free to choose according to the wishes of our two army officers and soldiers, whether they want these things or direct cash rewards. Counting apart the cost of relieving the casualties, each of the soldiers in our two legions could get 80 to 100 kronor bounties or similar commemorative items this time, and the officers doubled. No wonder you used to say that war can also make money and get rich.
In the Wangcheng warehouse, most of the gold and silver-plated bronzes and glass appliances are left. They are filled with three or four warehouses, and the value is about 1.2 million kronor. I purposely kept these items in the warehouse, just hoping that the special envoy would come and see, our trophies are these things, not gold or silver. Waiting for the special envoy to be resold to the merchant will also make our funds more abundant ... "
The trophies seized by the Thunder Corps in the kingdom of Nasserri and in the enclaves of the three principalities and the Hicks kingdom are worth approximately 56 million kronor. The gold and silver coins and gold and silver reserves of various countries worth 20 million kroner were transported back to the overseas dominion and deposited directly in overseas minsheng banks as the loan repayment and military fund reserves of the military region.
In addition, valuable jewellery and art treasures worth 10 million kronor are owned by five generals of the military region. They will take part of them for auction in overseas dominions. The auction gold and the rest of the jewellery will be sold by the military region five Divided by the generals. Claude estimates that his income this time is at least more than 2 million kronor. Of course, he values those treasures more. These jewellery and art treasures can be the heritage of future generations of a family.
The remaining treasures of more than 20 million kronor, in addition to the generous pensions of the casualties, and the rewards assigned to the naval officers and soldiers of the armored fleet and ocean cruise fleet, have become the rewards of the two regiments. Like Belklin, this time can be distributed to hundreds of thousands of kronor of wealth, and the most common soldier also has eighty to one hundred kronor rewards.
