First Wizarding World War

Chapter 323 Tax Investigation Case (Another 11,000 words updated today, I’ve worked so hard, please

The Military Law Enforcement Department of the General Office of the Central Government will not stop investigating a matter just because all the knights it sent are wiped out. It will only send a second knights again. When the investigation is launched for the second time, it will also be investigated together. The details of his predecessor’s death.

After being reminded by the Count of Brittany, Charlotte made preparations.

More than ten days later, he received the second investigation!

The law enforcement officer who led the Knights this time was indeed "fair-minded". After a round of investigation, he did not find that Charlotte had "covered" the wounded soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army. He wrote a report truthfully and submitted it to the superiors.

After the Knights of the Law Enforcement Department left, Charlotte thought it was over and just breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, there would be a third Order of Law Enforcement Knights soon.

This time, he actually came to investigate the taxation issues in the South Seraf region.

This matter is troublesome.

Especially the person leading the team, his name is actually - Aarons Cook!

The twenty-sixth-level fourth-level general secretary of the Central Government Office's Logistics Department, no more, no less, just one level lower than Charlotte. He was temporarily transferred to the Law Enforcement Department for a very legitimate reason - because he was very skilled. For taxation.

Aarons Cook did not go to Charlotte directly. He went around the South Seraf area and soon got a lot of first-hand evidence. This evidence showed that Charlotte had never levied taxes!

And handed this investigation report directly to the Earl of Brittany.

Charlotte didn’t expect that this matter was not over yet! ?

Yannick Ole's methods are too crude.

This is the method of a serious nobleman. It will not force people to riot, but it will make people as uncomfortable as possible.

Charlotte had to go to the Count of Brittany to explain the tax to Irons Cook.

Charlotte met this "love rival" in her dark luxury.

It's so pitiful that he didn't do anything to Miss Sophia Garlando, and he had almost forgotten about this Rose of Strasbourg.

Well, in front of the Count of Brittany, he would definitely forget all the other ladies.

This is basic courtesy.

Aarons Cook is a very handsome man with a gentle manner. Charlotte did not expect that this guy has a dark heart, but he looks like a dog.

Aarons Cook took out a notebook and said calmly: "Mr. Charlotte Mecklen, the evidence is conclusive that you have not collected taxes in the South Seraf Region, but I still want to hear your opinion."

He leaned forward and bowed slightly to the Count of Brittany, and said: "This is also what the Count meant."

Charlotte thought to herself: "Fart! How could Count Brittany care about such a trivial matter?"

He suppressed his anger and said: "Nanserav is not my fief. I have no obligation or power to tax."

Aarons Cook smiled slightly and said: "But you are the general secretary of Arcadia Port, Sedona City, Solvang City, Carmel Town, and Interlaken City in the South Seraf Region!" In the absence of the feudal nobles, they are obliged to collect taxes for the nobles and also for the empire. "

"It is true that the rest of the areas are not your authority and responsibility, but what about the taxes in these five cities?"

"And from the records, it seems that you have been absent from the South Seraf region for a while. Please explain this matter."

The Earl of Brittany only had a smile on his face and had no intention of interjecting at all. Charlotte didn't know what the old earl thought, so she could only explain patiently: "The South Seraf region is in constant war and the population has dropped sharply. It’s impossible to tax. I can’t even find taxable residents in many cities. There are empty houses everywhere. No one knows where they went or whether they died because of the war.”

After all, Charlotte was also a math teacher, and she was responsible for the business of immigrating residents of the South Seraf region to other cities. She immediately gave examples of the populations of five cities and said: "Sedona City currently only has a population of There are less than a thousand people, and there are only three residents in the city of Interlaken. How do you want me to collect taxes? "

Aarons Cook said without mercy: "These cities have experienced war, but Port Arcadia has not been affected by the war. This port city has at least 60,000 residents, but they still have not paid a cent. Taxation of money.”

Charlotte thought to herself: "I am familiar with doing accounts!"

He casually compiled a bunch of data at that time and said: "Yes, the Port of Arcadia was not affected by the war and the economy remained good, but we fought at least three major battles in Nanseraf, the one by Duke Joseph , they transferred supplies worth at least tens of thousands of euros from the Port of Arcadia."

"The first Brittany offensive also mobilized a large amount of supplies from the Port of Arcadia!"

"In these two battles alone, the two sides launched more than 300 battles. The number of casualties among Fars soldiers exceeded 60,000, resulting in a loss of 45% of the civilian population in the Yugoslav region and property losses. There are too many to count, and it is impossible to count effectively. Countless materials have been transferred from Arcadia Port. These are originally temporary taxes. According to the relevant laws and regulations of the country, Arcadia Port must be exempted from fighting for at least fifteen years. of taxes.”

"As for the Second Breton Offensive..."

The First Breton Offensive, named after Clair Breton! ,

This battle, named after the Count of Brittany, is also known as the Second Breton Offensive.

Charlotte said with a sad face: "Not to mention the losses of ordinary soldiers and civilians, we even lost one of the saints."

Well, only one member of the Holy Order has fallen.

That's Kronlov Boll!

This guy's level was quite high. His death even shocked the royal family and countless nobles. Otherwise, the Earl of Brittany would not have come to Nanseraf.

There were veins on Aarons Cook's handsome face. He didn't expect Charlotte to be so difficult to deal with. He came up with all kinds of data casually, gave examples tactfully, and didn't hold back.

Charlotte Mecklen is a clerk in the central government office. She is also familiar with various rules and handles them quite skillfully.

The two sides spent a whole day arguing and arguing in front of the Count of Brittany, but there was still no result.

Although Charlotte was at the peak of the mid-level, she still felt miserable. This kind of argument was too energy-consuming.

Aarons Cook suddenly slapped his hands on the small table in the carriage and shouted: "Do you believe that I will go to Behemoth to investigate your tax issues?"

Charlotte took a deep breath and already had the idea of ​​killing this guy. He has not taken over the South Seraf region for a long time, and is only nominally the general officer of five cities, but Behemoth is his hometown, and he has done too many things in Silver Pigeon Castle and Mostar Castle. Although Charlotte also prepared backup plans, she obviously couldn't stand this kind of trouble-finding investigation.

The Earl of Brittany had been silent, but now he smiled slightly and said, "How about I make a suggestion!"

Irons Cook said hurriedly: "Everything depends on the Earl of Brittany!"

Count Brittany smiled and said: "It's just a suggestion, not an order."

"Charlotte! You pay a fine of three thousand crowns, and that's it."

Charlotte nodded in agreement without hesitation. Although this matter was a bit disgusting, he would never contradict the Count of Brittany. As for the three thousand crowns? Charlotte must let Aarons Cook have his life to get the money and not his life to deliver the goods.

Aarons Cook smiled coldly and said: "What Grand Duke Mesu means is to have Mr. Charlotte Mecklen demoted two levels from the post of twenty-fifth-level fifth-level secretary, and transferred back to Twenty-seventh-level third-level general secretary, and he was asked to make up for the tax within a time limit! "

"And I have to go back to Strasbourg to report on my duties. I can't command the Knights of the West Wind for the time being."

The Earl of Brittany said calmly: "Then listen to the wishes of the Grand Duchess of Mesu!"

Although he was disgraced, Count Brittany was not angry at all, but the way he looked at Ellens Cook was as if he was looking at a dead person.

The Earl of Brittany had already written a private letter to the Grand Duchess of Mesu and reached a tacit understanding, so he proposed to use 3,000 euros to solve the problem.

After all, the Duchess of Mesu wanted to attack Menirman in this matter. Now that the situation of the Su Mei family is not good, it is time to add insult to injury.

As for the Count of Brittany, he is the target of the Duchess of Mesu. This count is not only the most powerful master in the Fars Empire, but also a powerful earl. offend.

However, the opinions put forward by Ellens Cook are obviously inconsistent with the opinions of the Duchess of Mesu, and they are 100% self-assertive.

Irons Cook was not afraid either. He thought that he had the support of the Duchess of Mesu, and he was not very afraid of the Count of Brittany, let alone a mere Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled slightly and listened to the Earl of Brittany's opinion, saying: "I respect the Earl's opinion in every way!"

Aarons Cook felt that he had won a great victory, smiled slightly, and said: "Then it's settled!"

"I suggest that the investigation on Behemoth be put on hold for the time being. After all, we are still fighting and we cannot always disrupt the front line."

There was also a vague threat behind his words. Behemoth's investigation was only temporarily put on hold, not abandoned.

Charlotte was just thinking that this matter was over.

Aarons Cook said: "The tax investigation case is closed, but Mr. Mecklen, is there an explanation for your long absence from Nanseraf?"

Charlotte said in a deep voice: "If I were not in Nanseraf, wouldn't Chloe, the leader of the Black Phoenix Army, come over?"

"Please use your brain!"

Aarons Cook choked and said angrily: "Don't force me to restart the tax investigation. Please honestly explain your whereabouts."

Charlotte replied disdainfully: "I'm in Nanseraff!"

"Please don't raise suspicions without evidence again."

Charlotte was very confident in Nanseraf's control, and he didn't believe that the other party could have any evidence.

Alans Cook stared at Charlotte with fierce eyes, and then said for a long time: "I will continue to investigate this matter, and there is one more thing. I want to know, how did my good friend Yannick O'Leary die? "

Charlotte laughed angrily and said, "Are you going to ask me about this?"

"Why don't you ask the intelligence officer on the front line? He himself was ambushed by the Black Phoenix Army and wiped out by the Knights of Aydon. How do I need to explain this?"

"I'm on the fucking front line, not a babysitter!"

Aarons Cook slammed the table with both hands and shouted: "I absolutely do not believe that Yannick O'Rei will die in battle! He is a high-level extraordinary! Do you know what a high-level extraordinary is?"

"You're a bastard raised by a businessman!"

Charlotte stood up and was going to give this guy a hard lesson. What does it mean to be a businessman's bastard?

Charlotte must let him know what it means to be able to fight, so stop talking!

Let's beat this guy first.

If it comes to fighting, Charlotte is not afraid of ordinary extraordinary people, but she is not a saint.

Allens Cook was not to be outdone, and shouted: "Do you really think that you are a powerful person just because you are lucky enough to fight a few battles?"

"I want to let you know that the son of a merchant is not qualified to sit with the nobles."

The Earl of Brittany shouted: "Enough! Go out and duel."

The two rushed out of the dark luxury immediately, and they didn't care about the challenge letter first.

Allens Cook didn't bring any weapons because he wanted to meet the Earl of Brittany. Charlotte didn't feel embarrassed to take out the blood rose and the red and blue rattlesnake, and also urged her fists to fight with the other party.

Don't say it, Allens Cook is really good. If he didn't think he was extraordinary, how could he have the courage to pursue the Strasbourg Rose?

Sophia Galanold can always be known for having too high a vision.

Relying on her agility and fast boxing and kicking, Charlotte found a few flaws and slapped Allens Cook a few times, but this guy was so powerful that he was unscathed. Even the dark erosion could not invade him. His face turned red and he was furious. He felt that this was a great shame.

Charlotte knew that he was not good at boxing and kicking. His swordsmanship was mainly trained by Hughes, and his spearmanship was mainly taught by Julian. No one taught him boxing and kicking, and he had never experienced actual combat, and there was not even any formal inheritance. However, Allens Cook had worked hard on bare-handed martial arts before. If he continued to fight like this, it would be very difficult to achieve a decent result.

The two fought fiercely for a while, and Charlotte retreated half a step. Just when she was about to provoke the other party so that she could use weapons, the Count of Brittany said, "It's enough to go to this point!"

Charlotte stopped immediately!

Allens Cook wanted to duel again, but after looking at the Count of Brittany, he could only give up and turned away. Returning to the camp of the Knights of the Law Enforcement Department, he immediately wrote a document and sent someone to send it back to Strasbourg.

Charlotte originally thought that his punishment would come soon, but he didn't expect that he would wait for half a month. There were several more battles on the front line, but they had nothing to do with him.

He didn't wait for his punishment, and there was no movement from Strasbourg. Even the original fine of 3,000 ecus was not mentioned. Instead, he waited for the promotion document from Strasbourg. This time, he was finally promoted to the 24th grade first-level political participant.

Well, except for the promotion, his political identity did not change.

Charlotte knew that this was the Count of Brittany's trick.

It's just that the methods of such a noble are as silent as moistening things, and there will be no open struggle at all.

Along with the promotion of her position, Charlotte also learned another piece of news. Because of the stalemate and no progress in the battle between Felanden and the South Seraf region, Fars planned to open up a third battlefield. This time, the battlefield was not on land, but on the sea.

The main force of this battle was the Northern Fleet of Duchess Mesu.

And this time, Fars got the full support of Ingrima. The Ingrima Empire sent ten magic alchemy warships, a total of 300 warships, ready to fight with Bairon on the sea.

This time, in terms of strength, the coalition forces of Fars and Ingrima have an absolute advantage. The main reason is that as an island country, Ingrima has always been the focus of military development and has invested countless resources. In terms of naval strength, Ingrima's Royal Navy is the first in the New and Old Continents.

And it is absolutely undisputed first.

The second was once the pirate coalition of Zimmerman for a short time, and now it is the navy of the Fars Empire.

Because there are not many ports near the sea, the navy of Bayron has always been weak. Although it has received naval support from the Black Phoenix Dynasty, it is still far inferior to the Royal Navy Combined Fleet of Fars and Ingrima.

This time, Emperor Julius Axel VI of Fars was determined to win this naval battle and personally named it the Victory Offensive!

Because the commanders of the two most powerful fleets of the Imperial Navy are both women!

When Charlotte got this information, she was a little worried about Senior Sister Menilman, but he really couldn't leave now. The intensity of the battle between the two sides in the second Brittany Offensive was far greater than the first time. It was difficult to find a city with residents in the entire South Seraf region.

If we use an old Chinese saying, it would be: "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."

The battle was so tragic that Charlotte wanted to convert to Buddhism every time she thought about it!

Of course, there is no such religion in this world, only the nine major gods.

If South Seraf is a meat mill, then there is no living flesh and blood in the entire South Seraf region to be swallowed by this huge mill.

The next day, Count Brittany called Charlotte over and said solemnly: "Our battle with the Black Phoenix Dynasty has reached a point where both sides can no longer continue."

"Unless Constantine and I have a duel, this battle will never change."

"But we will definitely not take action, otherwise the direction of the war will be unpredictable."

"So the Empire plans to transfer some of them to join the navy, and use the advantages of our joint navy with Ingrima to completely eliminate the navy of Byron."

"Thereby turning the entire war situation around!"

Charlotte asked: "Are you going to let me go to the navy again?"

Brittany laughed and said, "How is that possible? You belong to the local troops. After you were transferred to the Knights, you were still in the army. There was no way you could be transferred to the navy."

"Besides, you don't have any knowledge of navigation and you can't command warships. If you go to the navy, you can only send warships."

"I mean, I'm leaving."

"Constantine will leave too."

"The new commander of the South Seraf theater is..."

Count Breton deliberately kept it a secret.
