Warhammer Throne

Chapter 1004: , Where did the money go? (Second, ask for a ticket!)

The court of the czarist, or Kislov’s government-in-exile, is now located in the capital of Ostermark, Bekafen. Due to the short period of time, the supply of the empire’s military supplies is temporarily in a normal state, and the White Guards still maintain it for the time being. The organizational system of the army.

I have to say that the newly formed Romanov Guards are somewhat of a look. These soldiers are personally selected by the female czar. The selection criteria are naturally height, appearance and posture, and this 5,000-man army is paid for. The personal wealth of the female czar and the wealth of the Tsarist clan, and the equipment is uniformly purchased from the empire of Noor. The chief logistics officer of the Motkin invasion of the empire is in charge of the old Krupp president of the Krupp Chamber of Commerce. A batch of Nur-standard equipment was obtained from Emilia and the old Krupp with low-cost mortgages, half-buy and half-free.

Of course, Emilia is not a great philanthropist, Our Lady is taking advantage of others. Ryan’s little maid is mainly out of two considerations. The first is to arm this group of Mrs. Keisler to at least deal with and involve a part of the Chaos army. Reduce pressure and losses on the side of the empire.

The second reason is that the main force of Chaos was defeated too quickly. No one thought that Motkin would suddenly commit suicide. This caused a large number of factories in Nur and the Krupp Chamber of Commerce to produce a large number of weapons, equipment and munitions, but the inventory was useless. The backlog has been overwhelmed and has become a big trouble. Now it can be regarded as a clearance sale. Reduce inventory and sell small profits.

Emilia is not good at military affairs. Both internal affairs and diplomacy are recognized as masters. On the one hand, she has had a long period of mercenary career and is familiar with society and the plight of the lower class. On the other hand, she also followed Ryan. With Su Liya, I learned a lot, especially Su Liya's extremely proficient court power and Ryan's endless fantastic ideas, political and diplomatic skills.

The Romanov’s Guards are now very stylish from the outside. They are tall and tidy, and with the exquisite standard equipment produced by Nur on their bodies, Katalin came out from her private residence to see these. The guards were on duty and couldn't help but feel some comfort in their hearts.

Knight King Lane is escorted by his loyal and powerful old guards, and I also have my old guards!

I will prove that my old guard is no worse than his old guard!

At this time, the important members of the State Duma outside also gathered. They were quite large in number. Here are some of the most important names. They are:

The current chief minister of the court of Kislov, Petrov Panov.

The current Generalissimo Keslov, the White Guard commander Denikin.

The current Marshal Kislov, Romanov Guards commander Semenov.

The current Chancellor of the Exchequer, Dmilov.

The current General Kieslov, the head of the White Guard's general supplies and the general logistics minister, Bagramyan.

After the group arrived, they waited outside for a while, and didn’t rush in. The Chief Court Minister Petrov saw that the important figures were almost there, and he laughed a few times and said, “Time is almost here, your Majesty. It should be ready."

"Today we are called here to discuss matters. It should be to prepare for the Northern Expedition and regain lost ground." Marshal Denikin was now very proud. He was wearing a military uniform and a military coat. The general smiled: "Want to come." , That’s it."

"It may also be the news from Olengrad." Semenov's expression was not good: "Have you seen Araktcheev's embarrassed look? Maybe it was Olengrad's accident."

"But I heard the news that someone secretly stabbed the White Guards to comfort food!" Dmilov's face was ugly, and he deliberately turned his attention to the logistics minister Bagramyan: "Well, maybe a woman As soon as the czar was happy, he took care of us and promoted the informant little **** to take our place. Didn't you say that, General Bagramyan?"

"Huh!" General Bagramyan recalled Dmilov's previous arrangements. After receiving the Queen’s order and funding, the Chancellor of Finance Dmilov did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent 300 Jindukat to himself. In his hands, he also seriously commanded: "Now the money is for you! Hurry up and make the army's food better, and no more troubles!"

In the end, something went wrong. Bagramyan did his best. He used the budget of 300 King Ducat to the limit. He even went to negotiate the price with the merchants of Bekafen to ensure that the supplies were delivered on time and in sufficient quantities. At the White Guards logistics, something happened in the end: "I don't know what happened, but any expenditure, I have evidence here that I didn't take a penny!"

"Oh, our general is really good at doing things. It seems that he is ready to be promoted to marshal!" Dmilov said without getting the answer he wanted.

"Okay, don't embarrass Hoff." Petrov waved his hand to indicate the end of the matter: "Everyone, thank Erson for his blessing. The main force of Chaos has been destroyed. Recovered with the help of the empires, but now that such an incident has happened, His Majesty’s mood will certainly not be any better. If you can pass the food, please do your best. Don’t make any more troubles, you guys. Say yes?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Peter is right!"

"Let's do this first, let's think of another way later."

Everyone began to enter the venue one after another. Only Bagramyan fell to the end. The logistics minister snorted. He wondered if he should consider resigning. If you grab it and handle it, you will be hated to death.

Relatively speechless, they entered the hall one after another, and everyone sat down. At this time, Catalyn had been waiting for a long time.

The house is lit with fine ambergris, the fire is burnt with the highest grade silver carbon, and many furniture are newly made with fine cherry wood.

Catalyn took out a small note and threw it on the table. The czar was extremely angry. She yelled at everyone, especially General Bagramyan: "Hough! Look at you, all What are you doing?! Why did I call 800 ducats for you! There is only this thing for comfort food! I tell you, if you can't give a reasonable explanation today, then go to Yezhov's report! "

Everyone’s eyes focused on General Bagramyan. The logistics minister didn’t panic when he heard the words. He took out a few documents from his body and motioned to the attendant to hand it to the czar: "Your Majesty, this is the purchase list. All the purchase unit prices and total purchases are indicated in it. Also, please allow me to correct your majesty’s mistake. I did not receive 800 ducats, I only received 300 ducats."

As soon as this statement came out, the faces of everyone in the meeting room became ugly.

"300?! Why is there only 300? Where did the remaining 500 go?!" Katalyn took the file and checked it and confirmed that Bagramyan was not corrupt. The czar became even more angry: "Dmilov! Get out of here. Come out! Didn't I give you 800 Ducats? Why did you only take out 300?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Dmilov had to bite the bullet and stand out when he heard the question. He slowly bowed to Katalyn, and then calmly said: "Your Majesty, I can give you 300 to General Bagramyan. It is already doing my best. Ah, the kingdom’s financial expenditure is huge, and many things are stopped and waiting for money. Finally, I have some money. I have to solve a part of it. The debt and expenditure are constantly in deficit. It is also difficult for me as the Chancellor of the Exchequer! Please understand me Difficulties."

After listening to these words, Catalyn's expression eased a little. The female czar thought that Dmilov had been minister of finance to herself for more than ten years. She has always been loyal and extremely loyal, and her tone has improved: "Okay. , Today’s meeting is about this. I didn’t mean to embarrass you. If you have any difficulties, you can mention it and make it clear. Where did the other 500 Ducats go?"

"The other 500 ducats are like this, 300 ducats of which are used to pay and compensate the debts owed by the chartered ships to the shipyard of Bekafen, in order to transport supplies and military equipment from the rear." Milov first told the whereabouts of the first money.

"But we have never seen a cargo ship here in logistics!" Bagramyan went out, and the logistics minister roared: "We organize and carry them manually! Your Majesty, there are hundreds of people in the transportation in order to move materials. Exhausted or even starved! And how can it cost 300 Ducats to rent a few boats?"

"Wait, I haven't finished talking yet." Dmilov sneered for a while, and added: "We did rent a boat, and we did transport supplies, but the boat went up to the Tarabek River and encountered magic. Wasn’t the Chaos Army infested in the section of the river? The ships encountered some troubles. Two ships caught fire and one overturned. They had to go by land. As for the excessive expenses, compensation and material losses should also be included. Well, this is the first amount of money. The creditor is pursuing it tightly. I can only give it first. Otherwise, if we fail to keep our promise and cause disputes, this is still a small matter. "

Chief Minister Petrov saw that Katalin did not speak any more, and took the initiative to speak: "Then, even if this matter is made clear, next time you don’t want to do this, transportation is difficult, and trouble is encountered. This is all force majeure, but The money is still used for the right way. Here I have to self-review and did not make it clear. Everyone said, right? Three glasses of fine wine!"

After that, Petrov made three glasses of vodka in a row.

The logistics minister Bagramyan was speechless for a while. After listening to this, Katalin thought to herself that Dmilov was still a loyal protector of the Lord. Did she blame him? She waved her hand impatiently, and motioned to continue: "So what about the second money? Where is the 200 gold ducat?"

"What's more, it's the expenses for the repairs of your palace and the arrears for the expenses of the palace." Dmilov squeezed a smile, and said in a good manner: "Your Majesty visited Bekafen to the south, restraining himself and serving his duties, and Xiaoyi. Jishi is really a generation of princes, how can we ministers not care about things?"

Everyone also nodded, and Dmilov felt a little more relaxed when he saw this, and then said: "Your Majesty’s court has tried its best to be thrifty, but some banquets have to be held, and some ostentations have to be held, otherwise it will be detrimental to my Keisler. Husband’s national prestige is detrimental to His Majesty’s reputation. Usually, everyone does their best to support. Whoever suffers will not dare to suffer. Therefore, we discussed, the soldiers who suffered a little bitter bitterly, drawn out 200 jindus from it. Carter, subsidize your majesty’s expenses. These are all expenses in the court. Your majesty has detailed accounts to check. Don’t you think, Marshal Semenov?”

"Exactly." The commander-in-chief of the Romanov Guards took a step forward. He stared at Bagramyan: "I can testify, and our old Guards can also testify. Your Majesty, I want to say something for Minister Dmirov. Then, why is it that whoever does more, who suffers more grievances?! Can those soldiers understand our difficulties? It is not easy to understand your Majesty, so they are making noise and making noise all day long! What a group of skins Itchy beast!"

Dmirov was red eyes and tears, looking really aggrieved.

These bastards! Obviously because of these people... The logistics minister, General Bagramyan, has a pale face, but he can't explain it at all, because at this time any sentence of defense is directed at His Majesty the Tsar. Katalin is not a good temper, the original agreement. There are countless prisoners who dared to directly accuse Katalyn in the Ka prison!

Sure enough, Katalin’s expression became more relaxed. It seems that these ministers are still loyal enough, but the exchange of information is not smooth. The female czar took out a small note and asked the last question: "So, is there anyone? Can you explain why the total value of the final food is only 120 gold ducats?"

Without waiting for Bagramyan to speak, Denikin took the initiative to say: "To buy food for the army, we must always be safe and secure. What we buy is good ingredients, good wine, and good meat. It's just that the soldiers are illiterate and don’t. I understand that they are all calculated according to the market price in the country, so it seems that there are fewer things and the price is expensive, which is normal."

"The price of local food is very high. If you want to buy food, you have to transport it from other places. The road is winter and chaos, and some losses are normal." Petrov also said: "Bagramyan is responsible for this matter. I am also responsible. Generally speaking, it is good for someone to ask questions. This shows that we are all clear accounts, and there is a reason for where the money goes."

Based on the opinions of the Duma, the female czar thought that it still seems that the people are of low quality and insatiable, and they understand their hard work and do not know how to be grateful at all! In the future, this kind of consolation food will be forgotten.

Although I was still a little bit strange about a few details, why did Katalyn not do anything in the end, and only 15% of the 800 King Ducat actually arrived? The rest is gone?

But the czar barely accepted these statements and had no intention of wasting time. She finally struck out: "I also remind you that next time this kind of thing should not happen again, always purge and do things with heart. Compassionate for the soldiers' hard work, and fair rewards and punishments."

"Yes!" Everyone knelt down, and the incident was over.

General Bagramyan only felt his heart dripping with blood. He closed his eyes and knocked his head on the luxurious carpet from Osuan, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty... Shengming!"

"Okay, let's discuss now about the Northern Expedition!" Katalyn motioned to discuss the next topic.

Northern Expedition!

"Your Majesty is different from Catalyn." Talleyrand said with a smile: "The bureaucrats all know who you are. Your Majesty is the lord. You won't be dizzy by the bureaucrats. Three cups of fine wine are not enough. In addition, your Majesty sees people accurately, employs them properly, has his own source of information, and has the completely independent supervision of His Royal Highness Mogiana. The bureaucrats dare not make small moves at all. Of course, the most important thing is, Your Majesty has the full support of the army. Your powerful army is very loyal, very, very loyal. This is rare and scares the bureaucrats."

"Very rare?" Ryan came interested.

"From ancient times to the present, rulers have often faced a dilemma. Capable people cannot be loyal, while loyal people are often incapable." Talleyrand nodded: "After weighing the pros and cons, the instincts of the rulers are all People who prefer loyalty, although most of these people are incompetent, but this makes them feel at ease, and only you, my knight king, can control a large group of people through endless victories and super domestic and foreign abilities. The capable subordinates convinced them."

"Do you also include you? Talleyrand?" Ryan glanced at the cripple.

"Your Majesty has shown your mighty power and gained my loyalty." Talleyrand smiled and bowed: "Of course, it would be better if you could give me an elf horse for transportation~"

"Hahahaha! Okay, when you come back to Bretania, you take my message to Suria's stable and pick a half-blood elf warhorse for you. It's a reward for you!" Ryan laughed loudly. , He nodded and agreed: "Before that, you go to the barracks and pick a good horse to travel."

"Thank you endlessly!" Talleylang immediately bowed and thanked, and the corners of his lame mouth cocked.

Plan to pass!
