Chapter 297 Disposal of Non-performing Assets
Looking at the bones on the ground, Hudson was speechless.The order he gave was "to see people when you are alive, and to see corpses when you are dead."Unexpectedly, what was finally found was a pile of bones.

They were all bones, and the identity of the deceased was naturally impossible to define.As the commander-in-chief of the army, Hudson can't do anything to disturb the rest of the dead.

"Take it down, let's bury it!"

The investigation into the case of the missing soldier has come to an end, but the problem of the infiltration of the orcs has not yet been resolved.

Compared to the enemy sneaking in with a large group, this kind of small team is the most difficult to deal with.Just find a bush to hide, and you can hide it from the air force in the sky.

After hesitating for a while, Hudson added: "Tom, send an order to order all troops to clear the grass and shrubs within five miles of the camp, and the grass and trees must not exceed five inches."

This is a stupid way, but it is the most effective defense.Without cover, the enemy launched another sneak attack, which was bound to reveal their tracks.

As long as they are exposed, they can be tracked by breath and found out in the shortest possible time.

The trade fair is just around the corner, and Hudson really doesn't want to cause trouble.If the orcs sneak in and cause damage, where will he save his face?
……

In the dark night, dozens of furtive figures came under the city wall.

"Your Highness, the one with the lights on on the left is Bloodmoon Castle. As long as you turn over from here, you can enter the hinterland of the Alpha Kingdom unimpeded."

Hearing what his subordinates said, and glancing at the towering city walls, Prince Butzweig felt sad for a while.

Originally, these areas were the territory of the Orc Empire. When he was stationed at the border, the governor's camp was located behind the Blood Moon Castle.

Sadness can't change the fact that it is occupied by the human race.According to past experience, as long as the human race built a city in the local area, they rarely brought it back.

The last time they seized the seven northern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom, it was at the price of betraying their allies.If it weren't for the betrayal last time, they wouldn't have fought alone.

"Let's change the place, this is the enemy's military base, it is not suitable as a breakthrough.

The enemy has not occupied this land for a long time, and the defense line cannot be built so quickly.If you follow this line of defense, there will definitely be new breakthroughs! "

Prince Butzweig said expressionlessly.

As a high-level executive of the Orc Empire, he naturally knew exactly where the human defense line was repaired.

Now, he pretends not to know anything in front of his subordinates, and asks everyone to search along the defense line, which is obviously delaying time on purpose.

People can't help themselves in the political arena.Prince Butzweig, who took the initiative to ask for a job, never dreamed that Alex "valued him so much" and directly arranged for him to assassinate Caesar III.

It was already dangerous enough to go deep behind enemy lines and wreak havoc.Now let him take someone to assassinate the king, it is clear that he is not going to let him come back alive.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.When he was in the imperial court, he could only grit his teeth and take on the task.Now that they're all out, naturally they can't be foolish enough to die.

Can't refuse the task, can't delay the time?
For such a fatal event, the assassins sent by the Orc Empire must not be the only ones.As long as it is dragged to other teams, it can also be considered as completing the task.

If all fail, drag it to Alex to meet the Beast God.Anyway, this is deep behind enemy lines, and all kinds of accidents may happen.

"Your Highness, the enemy is obviously prepared and is waiting for us to be caught. It is difficult to keep it secret at this moment.

Or do I go west, cross the prairie, pass through the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and go all the way through the Warhammer Kingdom, the Principality of Moxie, and then enter the Alpha Kingdom? "

Clark suggested along the way.

This is the longest route, the most difficult to follow, and at the same time the safest.

The ice and snow world in the west does not belong to either the human race or the orcs. Most of the people living in it are the ancient survivors and some cold-resistant monsters.

Although the number is small, the strength of these guys is not weak at all.

Good strength, coupled with the harsh natural environment is not conducive to the action of the army, making the world of ice and snow a paradise.

"it is good!"

One word revealed Prince Butzweig's true inner thoughts.No matter how the situation develops next, it is right to go to the world of ice and snow and hang on first.

……

Not all assassins are as reluctant as Prince Butzweig, and there are also many orcs with dreams, crossing the city wall and starting a new journey.

The lucky ones sneaked into the capital safely; the more unlucky ones brought death upon themselves before they understood what was going on.

Fortunately, there are many teams responsible for sabotage, helping to share the pressure, otherwise their actions will be exposed in advance before the official start.

The orcs are on the move, and other forces are not idle.In a small farmyard in the north, a fierce quarrel broke out among the high-level members of the July Club.

Now that the war has progressed, not only has there been no opportunity for revenge, but it has made this dream farther and farther.

The foundations of the five major families in the Northland are far deeper than they imagined. Apart from leaking the news to the orcs and completing the assassination of a duke, they have achieved nothing.

All kinds of messy plans not only failed to make them flourish, but made their names even more notorious.

"The orcs are too useless, so many opportunities have been created for them, and they have been wasted in vain. They deserve to be wiped out!"

A young man said angrily.

For revenge, they all gave their all, but in the end they watched the five major families grow more and more prosperous.

According to the current situation, against the background of the heavy losses of the nobles in the kingdom, the five major families in the North showed signs of going further.

"Collen, be reasonable. Anger doesn't solve anything, it just complicates it.

In the previous series of failures, in the final analysis, we put our hope of revenge on others, hoping that the orcs can help us destroy the five major families.

As it turns out, this doesn't work.If we want to truly destroy the five major families, we still have to rely on our own strength.

Just now, someone paid a big price, let us find the Assassin Organization to place an order on our behalf to assassinate Caesar III! "

Hearing about killing the king, everyone's expressions changed drastically.Everyone only wanted to kill the five major families in the Northland, but they didn't plan to kill the king together.

After all, he is a son of aristocrats, no matter how poor he is now, he has experienced some family education.It is very clear what regicide means.

"Leader, this is absolutely impossible! We are all the children of the kingdom's nobles, how could we do such a rebellious thing?"

"The leader of the meeting, the three elders are right, you can't do the killing of the king! Most of the people here are uneasy and kind, and want to kill us in July..."

……

The rush of persuasion made the old man's face turn pale.

It was just a retelling, without saying that it would be done, and it attracted such fierce opposition. If it is really implemented, I don’t know what kind of backlash it will cause.

"President, do you mean to find an opportunity to blame this matter on the nobles of the Northland?"

Long Xi's words caused a different light to flash in the eyes of the people who originally opposed fiercely.

They can't do regicide.But if the northern nobles did it, they would have no pressure.

The only problem is that such a big event, even if you want to frame it, is not so easy to operate.If they are not careful, they will be found out.

Once they have a relationship with King Killer, not only will they themselves suffer, but even the families behind them will also be dragged out of the list.

Even leaving the Alpha Kingdom is useless, the countries on the mainland have surprisingly unanimous positions on this issue.

No matter who plays regicide, he will be hunted down by the whole continent.The history of the human race has been passed down for countless years, and there are very few kings who were assassinated to death.

"Not bad!"

"All of you are ignorant, and you are told to read more, but you just don't listen.

Now I can't even understand the good and bad words, thanks to you you still call yourself the sons of nobles!When did nobles turn into big bosses! "

The old man reprimanded sharply.

But the prestige is just an illusion, deep down in his heart he is also panicked.If it weren't for the help of his subordinates to help out, he really didn't expect to blame the northern nobles.

It has nothing to do with IQ, it is purely an inherent concept, which prevents him from breeding such outrageous thoughts.

Otherwise, there is no need to wait until now, it has been used countless years ago.

Even if the disguise is dismantled, it can still sow discord.Anyway, the relationship between the king and the nobles of the north is not good, and the two sides will fight more fiercely.

After such an interruption, everyone lowered their heads.There is no moral pressure in their hearts to frame the northern nobles.

"Chairman, there are as many assassin organizations on the continent as a cow's hair. But those who dare to take this kind of order and have the strength to complete the task are very few.

Although our July Society also belongs to the dark organization, it is different from them after all. Among the assassin organizations we have dealt with, none of them can meet the requirements!
What's more, we don't know the origin of the mysterious person behind the scenes who asked to place the order on his behalf.What if he sells us out after everything is done? "

Long Xi said worriedly.

As a slave trader who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, this time he is really afraid.

Planting and framing is easy to say, but this is an extraordinary world, and there are many extraordinary investigative methods.

Sometimes the dead can speak, let alone a group of living people.It doesn't matter what link leaks, as long as it is involved, the July meeting will be over.

"If they can hide, so can we. Find a few chess pieces that we secretly control among the five major families, and let them place an order.

At worst, let them take all the rewards and deposit them in the Assassin's Guild.As soon as the person comes out, kill them immediately!

If you want to check, let them go to the five major families to check!Regardless of whether the charges can be settled on their heads, they can bear it. "

The old man said mockingly.

……

Not only the July Society, but almost at the same time, several cult organizations in the Alpha Kingdom received "sponsorship" from the mysterious person.

All of a sudden, the underground world boiled up.With the surging undercurrent, the storm went straight to Caesar III.

……

Bathed in the sunshine of autumn, Hudson warmly entertained every guest coming and going.This is the third day since the trading platform opened, and the turnover has already exceeded the sky.

Of course, this is just what Hudson guessed from the smiles on everyone's faces.

As a pure public welfare organization, the platform does not even charge commissions, so naturally it will not inquire about the specific turnover of everyone.

The eleven chambers of commerce that have entered the trading platform are all big chambers of commerce with strength and background, and each of them was negotiated by Hudson himself.

It's all about making friends, there is absolutely no insider trading.At most, it is between friends, giving each other a certain amount of care.

Without those secret contracts, this explanation would be more convincing.It's a pity that Hudson has always been skeptical about the friendship that the merchant said, and finally chose a secret agreement.

If it was a great nobleman, it is estimated that a verbal agreement would be enough.

After all, Hudson didn't ask for much. He just agreed that in the next ten years, the materials purchased from major chambers of commerce must be settled at cost prices.

In order to reassure everyone, he even made a promise: All materials purchased at cost prices will only be used for his own use and will not be taken out to hit the market.

Of course, the materials inside are not only ordinary commodities, but also some things that are rarely seen by the outside world.

Transactions, the most important thing is a win-win situation.There is no doubt that this wave is a typical resource exchange.

……

"Your Excellency, do you really want to sell all the bonds in your hand?"

When we became friends, many things became easier.For example, now, Hudson is carrying a box of war bonds, asking everyone to help cash them out.

"To tell you the truth, I am not optimistic about the repayment ability of the Principality of Moxi. The bond interest they promised is too high.

For my 120 million bonds alone, the interest on the funds that needs to be paid every year is as high as 16 gold coins.And their total debt is more than 30 times that figure.

According to preliminary estimates, the annual interest they need to pay on funds will not be less than 600 million gold coins.

As far as I know, their annual financial income before the war broke out was only 700 million gold coins.

This is just interest, and the principal needs to be repaid?

Although they promised to collect a repayment tax from the nobles across the country.However, most of the territory of the Principality of Moxi has been reduced to a battlefield, and it is still barren. How can the noble lords pay taxes?
In a short period of time, they can still rely on borrowing new ones to repay the old ones, but problems will definitely arise after a long time.

Of course, if a group of creditors can accept the debt extension, this is actually a good deal.

It's a pity that my situation is special, and I have to raise funds for the post-war reconstruction in advance. Even if I know that holding these bonds for a long time can make a fortune, I can only reluctantly sell them now. "

Hudson said half-truthfully.

The problems facing the Principality of Moxi are all on the surface.It didn't cause the creditors to panic, that's because there has never been a precedent of a country defaulting on the continent of Aslante.

The debt extension proposed by Hudson is already the worst situation that everyone can think of.Under normal circumstances, as long as they take a breather, the Moxi people will continue to pay their debts.

Originally, he could not have mentioned these risks.It's just that the representatives of the chamber of commerce present are all elites in the business field, and they can't hide it at all.

What's more, if you don't warn about the risks, if these risky assets are held by the major chambers of commerce, won't they all have to be charged to him when the debts explode?

"Your Excellency, it is not difficult to help you deal with this batch of bonds. However, the premium cannot be too high, after all, we have to consider risks!"

The old man in purple said in a pretentious way.

How can doing business be risk-free?

Compared with private lending, the war bonds of the Principality of Moxi are already considered high-quality assets in the capital market.

In the era when gold and silver were used as currency, there was almost no inflation, and a stable income of seven or eight points was enough for everyone to start.

The war bonds issued by the Alpha Kingdom before, the interest rate of ten points was looted, which is the best example.

"Mr. Gustav, if you are worried about bond risks, you can transfer the risks out.

When purchasing strategic materials from the coalition forces, when paying, everyone can tentatively use bonds to settle the settlement and see everyone's reaction.

Although a war bond, the war belonging to the Mosi was over.With the credit endorsement of the Principality of Moxi, these bonds can be used as gold coins.

Moreover, these gold coins are also assets with their own income.Among them, the highest interest rate is as high as 30.00% per annum.

If you are worried about risks, take this high-interest bond and go to the Principality of Moxi now. They definitely don't mind paying it in advance, and you can even talk about paying a premium.

We are all friends, and we don't need to talk about these falsehoods.This business is also split up, and one family only has 10,000+ bonds, which is not a big deal.

Everyone estimates the prices of bonds with different interest rates based on professional experience, and I estimate the prices myself, and write them down on parchment.

If your average price is higher than my quotation, or not lower than 5.00% of my quotation, how about this business being concluded at the average price? "

Hudson said with a smile.

It's not bad to be able to sell the high-risk bonds in your hands.What's more, it is still sold at a premium, no matter how much the premium can be, it is a blood profit for him.

Long-term holding, unless exchanged for bonds of Alpha Kingdom.Even if he can't pay it, he can take it out to deduct taxes.

In fact, this is the risk he is most worried about.In the hands of the moxi nobles, they also hold a large amount of war bonds.

After the two-year tax holiday ends, Moxi nobles who have no money in their pockets will most likely use these war bonds to offset the repayment tax.

It is impossible for the family not to recognize the bonds that they have triggered, right?
The currencies are all gold and silver. Even if you want to play with currency depreciation and reduce your debts, it is not feasible.

When the "repayment tax" that was supposed to be collected to repay the debt turned into a pile of war bonds, it was the time when the principality of Moxi's debts exploded.

And this thunder, the longer it drags on, the more powerful it will be.Who let the Principality of Moxi keep enough cash flow for the treasury to deal with the crisis after the war ended.

When rewarding meritorious officials and paying officials' arrears, are they all given bonds?
In the eyes of the outside world, the debt of the Principality of Moxi is more than 3000 million gold coins, but only they themselves know the real debt figure.
