"Haha, this guy named Aiklius has quite a lot of energy! He actually bribed 132 grain distribution officers, and was able to get from one million tons of grain in more than half a month after our army took over Palaven. , withheld a full sixty tons of grain. If word spreads about this, I’m afraid the entire Palaven will collapse.”

A slightly plump young man closed the folder in his hand, placed it on the table next to him, and stood up. His firm and lonely footsteps could be heard on the flat and beautiful star-patterned marble surface.

"Your Majesty, should we arrest him immediately? According to our intelligence, Palaven's food is almost exhausted. This guy should be waiting for this moment to provide food! Why don't we take action in advance and deal with these illegal smugglers?"

Behind him, Lidastov lowered his head with a hesitant expression. If anyone saw it with their own eyes, they would definitely not believe that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was as docile as a sheep, was the head of the Supervision Department, who was known to the outside world.

"Don't worry, it's just 600,000 tons of grain. I've ordered the urgent mobilization of 2 million tons of black wheat from the northern county. If he really has such a plan, I will make him unable to cry!

The fat man raised his head slightly, and his light blue chin had a slight stubble, which added a touch of unruly and masculine to his honest temperament, and said in a condensed voice.

"Send someone to check the background behind this person. I don't believe it was done by someone without a background!"

"Yes, I will send someone to check immediately!" Lidastov nodded quickly, with a flash of scarlet in his eyes. He knew that someone was going to be in bad luck this time.

As His Majesty Falcon said, I have no objection if you want to make money, but if you want to disrupt the situation and turn the hard-earned stable situation into a pot of paste, it will undoubtedly offend His Majesty Falcon.

Greedy for food relief, disrupting market prices and causing food prices to skyrocket. A large number of refugees either starved to death or rioted due to lack of food. For His Majesty Falcon, who urgently needs to stabilize the situation in Ruidian, it is like drowning in scalding oil. Pour a ladle of cold water on it, and the possible consequences will definitely be a city full of frying pans.

No one can mobilize so much food into Palaven, which is in short supply, under the supervision of the Business Alliance. Even smuggling is difficult, not to mention that food inspections are very strict now, and as soon as it is found, it will be confiscated immediately, so you dare to do this. There are not many people, and even less can be transported in. If all possibilities are excluded, there is only one possibility: someone will wantonly take advantage of the 1 million tons of grain transported.

Thinking that it was a full 60 tons of grain, even Lidastov, who was born in the underworld, felt that his former colleagues had gone too far this time.

Then he reported to the fat man about the last investigation of sweet potato seeds. When he heard that all the sweet potato seeds had been seized and transported back secretly, the fat man interrupted his report with a calm face and waved, and asked, " Where’s the sweet potato businessman? “Didn’t you find him?

"No, we found it. Although it took some time and manpower, we still found this businessman named Leonardo in Moa City in the south of Palavon, and we have people intensively monitor him.

"With just a word from His Majesty, I can immediately order his arrest!" Lidastov responded with a respectful look, and asked with a somewhat uncertain tone, "Or, it's easy to solve it on the spot!"

Although he didn't know why Fatty paid so much attention to this ruined nobleman who was almost worthless, he also guessed that it might have something to do with sweet potatoes, a plant that was strictly avoided. The black-handed Lidastov didn't do this kind of thing once or twice. Yes, as a pair of eyes in the darkness of His Majesty the Falcon, one must have the awareness to observe words and emotions.

"Huh? Arrest? Solve it! Is this what you are thinking about all day long?"

The fat man's face was stunned for a moment, and he glared at him with piercing eyes. Looking at Lidastov's confused expression, his face showed some depression. Yes, for a guy who lives in darkness all year round, sometimes If you say a normal thing, it will be understood as a variety of cruel thoughts.

Fatty felt the need to explain it carefully.

Otherwise, the corpse of the businessman named Leonardo might be handed over to him next time. Then no matter how much he scolds him, he will not be able to bring a dead man back to life. The fat man paused and said meaningfully

"The purpose of asking you to closely monitor is not to arrest, but to protect, you know! This person is very important to me, and even to the entire Falcon Dynasty. You are looking for a suitable candidate within the Supervision Department and find a way to get close to this person named Leonardo's businessmen obtained the characteristics and methods of sweet potato cultivation in the shortest possible time.

"If it doesn't work, just pay for it!" The shameless His Majesty Falcon gave final guidance. "Anyway, I don't care what method you use. Within a month, I will get the detailed planting method. No one can move at that time, because if something goes wrong, , and only he can possibly help us obtain the right cultivated sweet potatoes. Before our own sweet potatoes mature, you must ensure their safety."

"Yes, my subordinate is too stupid! That's why I misunderstood His Majesty's intention." Lidastov's face turned a little pale.

"You go down first!" The fat man waved his hand and turned his back. The Supervision Department, which outsiders talked about with disdain, was just a tool for secret control. After all, not everything was controlled by the military. In terms of civil affairs and commerce that do not involve military affairs, the Supervision Department, which has multiple roles, can just make up for the shortcomings in this area.

My eyes followed the wooden dado and classical reliefs on the wall of the circular office, and looked forward.

In front of the clear semi-arched floor-to-ceiling windows, the light dimmed slightly. It is raining in the sky, such a fine rain that one cannot distinguish any drops, and it beats on the windowsill with the wind.

Tiny raindrops floated towards the window sill, covering it with a layer of cool yet permeable moss-like moisture.

This is the continuous rainy season before the arrival of winter in the Palawan Plain.

The moist breath wets people's spirits and clothes at the same time. This kind of rain is not pouring down, nor is it falling like a waterfall, causing short-breathing pedestrians to run to hide under the doors of houses on the street.

After carefully examining the report on the table again, the fat man snorted heavily from the corner of his mouth, "I have no objection to getting rich, but whoever wants to undermine me, I will let him take the skin off!"

This time the fat man hurried back to Palavon secretly because of two things.

The first is a report from the south. The Southern Governor Statunko and the commander of the newly established Salander privateering navy, Dustrunke, jointly submitted a combat plan codenamed "Guest", preparing to attack the Nords. An unexpected cross-coral battle was launched behind the Phelan Island chain, which has seen frequent activity recently.

Starting from behind the most unexpected defense line of the Nord Navy, if you are lucky enough to capture the main force of the Nord Navy, you may completely control the battle situation in the southern sea and strangle the expanding Nord Navy in the cradle.

This plan is a bit too risky, and the number of warships and landing soldiers dispatched is the first time for the Falcon Dynasty. The South Sea Regiment, South Sea Fleet, Salander privateer fleet, plus 20 large transport ships of the Huron tribe, This time it can be said that the Falcon Dynasty Navy is dispatched from the nest, and its combat objectives are also extremely difficult.

Tiha, this important military port and fortress along the southern coast of Nord, is crucial to the Nord Kingdom, which is trying to expand its navy, and the Falcon Dynasty, which hopes to attract the attention of the Nord people to the sea. Whoever occupies Tihar will be able to take the initiative in the war in the southern seas, thereby putting the other party in a passive position of being beaten.

When the arrow is in the string, you have to shoot it. Strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster. This principle has been true since ancient times. Rather than waiting for the Nords to begin to realize the benefits of the main attack, it is better to set their sights on the coast of their country first. Cut off the ground!

After thinking over and over again, Fatty still wrote his approval on the report.

The situation on the mainland is now basically clear. With the demise of the Kingdom of Redian and the surrender of the northern region of Dorok, the military confrontation between the Falcon Dynasty, which controls the southwest and north, and the Nord Kingdom, which occupies most of the southeast and south, is becoming increasingly fierce. ,

In the southern part of the continent, the Nords, who had just suffered a heavy blow, were not reconciled to their defeat in the Reedian battle. Instead, they took advantage of this defeat to reorganize their old and sickly army and replace it with a group of young, powerful and energetic troops. Elites replace those veterans with rigid ideas and take the position of frontline commanders.

Regarding this initiative, even the fat man had to admire the courage of the Nord Kingdom Jagrork to break the tradition. This change challenged the foundation of the Nord royal family and the traditional martial arts forces of Nord. The resistance they faced was also It is conceivable that it is fortunate that the person who promoted this plan was His Majesty the King himself. Otherwise, he would have been knocked to the ground by the angry generals of the Wu family.

But within just half a month, an unpredictable change was unfolding in Nordland in a calm atmosphere. The Minister of Military Affairs who was not from a martial arts family and the Minister of the Navy who was not from a martial arts family were listed on the list of officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Except for a few insignificant positions that are generals of the Wu family, several newly appointed important military positions are not from the Wu family.

♦▽; According to intelligence, in order to concentrate the elites in his hands to form a strength sufficient to confront the Falcon Dynasty army, Yagrolk has ordered the original four Guards Corps to be reduced to two, with the number reduced from the original 70,000 to 40,000, and a large number of military generals from other armies were placed in these two reduced legions. Although the number of soldiers has decreased, their elite level has reached an outrageous level. Among the 40,000 Guards, there are 1,963 officers from the Wu family. In other words, on average, each team Above him, there is a military officer who has strict discipline and will fight to the death for His Majesty the King without hesitation.

With 40,000 absolutely loyal and elite soldiers, even the Central Army under Fatty cannot reach this level. Moreover, in order to make up for the lack of troops in the confrontation with the Falcon Dynasty, the other party

Germany is currently recruiting soldiers and expanding its army. Since the Battle of Staros, the number of Nord Army troops that suffered losses has dropped to less than 150,000 for the first time. However, in this short half month, it has expanded again. The strength of the three new regiments has expanded from the original nearly 180,000 regular troops to 260,000. If the number of the navy is included, it has already approached the 300,000 troops in the decisive battle with the Ruidian Kingdom.

Through the drizzle and hazy sand and fog in front of him, Fatty seemed to see this chariot called the Kingdom of Nord, which was accelerating with all its strength to turn its wheels called the decisive battle.

The second thing that worries Fatty is the large-scale food smuggling incident that occurred in Palavon City. The Supervision Department responsible for secret wiring only discovered at the end of November that the food stocks in the city had suddenly decreased a lot.

In order to appease the more than 100,000 residents in the city, the Falcon Dynasty mobilized nearly 1 million tons of food from the country at one time, and set up several fixed distribution points in the city to distribute according to the roster of residents in the city. However, no one expected that 1 million tons of food would be almost empty in less than half a month. Such an urgent situation shocked even the petty fat man. At this moment, who dared to destroy my stage!
