Sometimes the truth of things is always unexpectedly simple. To be honest, General Vansnik regarded Claude as a suspected target and tried to find the huge military expenditure of the missing Hicks Kingdom. It was a complete mistake. object. Just like the evidence submitted by Claude, in the day after occupying Wickham Castle, Claude was so busy that he even had to run to urinate. All actions were in full view of the public, and there was no private time at all.
Not only Claude, but also the five battalion commanders under him, his personal adjutants, and trusted guards were all busy directing and monitoring the prisoners to move the materials in the warehouse and load them into the carriages, and they also had to arrange various arrangements. The ratio of materials and the sequence of departure, etc. Everyone was so busy that day that no matter how General Vansnik asked and reviewed the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment, he could conclude that Claude and his cronies had indeed not paid attention to or had been to the ammunition, firearms, ordnance supplies. Warehouse area signs.
In fact, Claude did not know about the existence of King Hicks's fee worth more than half a million gold crowns at that time. When he knew about it, he had already evacuated Wickham Castle and set up camp on that small hill. Got it. If it weren't for his younger brother Blovik's proactive confession, Claude would never have thought that he would have such good luck. But at that time, it was no longer appropriate to register this huge sum of money as seized on the battlefield. All Claude had to do was to continue to conceal it.
It can be said that all the doubters headed by General Vansnik ignored the existence of the soldier Blovik, because at this time Blovik was participating in the non-commissioned officer training held at the Ranger Corps headquarters. Only a few people knew about the huge military expenditures he obtained from the ammunition, firearms and ordnance storage area of Wickham Castle, except for Murray Ed, Diavid, and the big man Germi who cooperated with him in transferring the huge sums of money. Apart from the three of them, even Claude, Belklin and Michael Jack had been concealed by them in advance and had no idea about the existence of this huge military expenditure.
Of the nearly five thousand officers and soldiers of the entire 131st Ranger Regiment, Blovik was the only one who visited the entire ammunition, firearms and ordnance material warehouse area, inspected the types of materials stored in all warehouses, and naturally discovered the huge military expenditure. Then he used his magic hands to move the money boxes filled with gold, silver and copper coins to the corner wall of the material warehouse. Then he greeted the guard soldiers standing guard and walked out with empty hands. the warning zone.
Blovik then went to find Muriel, deployed a four-wheeled freight carriage, and drove the carriage to the outside of the wall of the ammunition storage area where he stacked cash boxes. Then he used his magic hand to transfer the money boxes from the wall to the carriage, put some groceries on top to cover them, and then drove out of the castle. Finally, he said hello to Diavid, who was guarding the gate of the castle, and asked him not to check or register, and then drove the carriage out to find a place to bury the money box. Blovik made a total of five trips that day.
In the 131st Ranger Regiment, Blovik is a very special being. In terms of military rank, he is just a corporal, in terms of position, he is an orderly, but he is Claude's younger brother. He also made good friends with the three powerful battalion commanders, Belklin, Murray Ed, and Diavid. Even Claude's most trusted adjutant, McJack, was also his brother-in-law. Although in terms of status, he was under the jurisdiction of the regiment's security squadron, the guard squadron leader, the big man Germi, also listened to him and consulted him on everything. Therefore, he is very popular in the regiment. Even the deputy regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Schneck, and the logistics director, Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried, are very considerate of him. It can be said that he responds to every request.
However, due to the strict control of Claude and the fact that Brovik always kept a low profile, the officers and soldiers in the 131st Ranger Regiment were not very impressed with him. People who know his identity will give him a point, and people who don't know his identity don't need to give him everything. Anyway, Blovik won't be angry and use his identity to bully anyone. Basically, if something happens, there is no need for Claude to come forward. Just one of Murray Ed or Belklin popping up will be enough to cause a headache for the other party.
Similar to Claude, Brovik mastered military skills quickly, even better than Claude. When Claude first joined the army, he was bullied by veterans and got into a fight, resulting in both sides being injured. However, Blovik challenged the entire regiment of veterans and was able to tie with those veterans in both fighting and bayonet fighting. Even in aiming and shooting, his accuracy within 100 meters can be ranked among the top twenty in the entire regiment. It can be said that he is more like a natural soldier than Claude.
After occupying Wickham Castle, Blovik heard that a warehouse containing the Hicks Kingdom's honorary saber was found in the ammunition, firearms and ordnance warehouse area, and ran to watch the excitement. It's just that because of his rank as a corporal, he has no share in the honorary saber. At most, he can only enjoy the one assigned to Claude. However, Blovik remembered what Belklin had said. If you are lucky on the battlefield, you can capture those exquisite weapons customized by the enemy's senior officers. For example, gold-plated silver-plated sabers, blunderbuss, and long swords, etc. These are relatively valuable and can be regarded as works of art. They are not considered ordnance and do not need to be turned in.
So Blovik suddenly wondered if there was any warehouse in this ammunition, firearms and ordnance material warehouse area that stored exquisite ordnance customized by senior officers of the Hicks Kingdom. So he started to look at the warehouses one by one. Soon I discovered the material warehouse, which had one door bigger and two more locks than other warehouses. This was certainly not a problem for Blovik. With the help of magic hands and precise control, the door lock was opened effortlessly. Then Blovik saw the money boxes stacked in the warehouse, filled with gold, silver and copper coins.
Claude asked Blovik why he wanted to conceal the existence of this huge sum of money. Blovik frankly said that he thought it was uneconomical to report the report. He would hand over 70% to the legion and give the remaining 30% to the rangers. One regiment was divided into one, three, and one, and each officer and soldier received only about a hundred gold crowns. To other soldiers, this was an unexpected amount of wealth, but to Claude and Blovik, this little money could not help their families.
Claude is now a poor man, living only on his salary and wartime welfare benefits. Of course, since he now has room and board in the group, he usually doesn't have to spend any money. But Blovik is different. He is now the head of the Field family, and he understands the difficulties the family faces very well, especially since the family still owes a loan of several thousand gold crowns to the National Bank of White Deer City. loan in the name of
The root of everything lies in the forest farm property purchased by her sister Anna for the family. The acquisition of the nearly 5,000-acre forest farm had almost wiped out all of the family's wealth, and even the savings of nearly a thousand gold crowns in Claude's personal account had been contributed. But acquiring the forest farm is only the first step. According to Claude's design plan, more funds need to be invested in the forest farm to get the forest farm on the right track. Road planning, building houses, and the medicinal fields Anna is preparing to develop all require more money. So Blovik was forced by Anna to borrow a sum of 6,500 gold crowns from the National Bank in the name of the Field family's head for forest farm development.
Although because of Claude's relationship, this loan for forest farm development has a great discount, the monthly rent received from the big red brick house can just pay off the interest on this loan. However, the output of the forest farm did not take effect so quickly. In the next five or six years, the forest farm still had only input but no output.
To some extent, his younger brother Blovik is more bold and unscrupulous than his older brother Claude. When he saw so many money boxes filled with gold, silver and copper coins stored in the material warehouse, he became interested in the money.
He bluntly told Claude that even with his current status as honorary baron and colonel, Claude's annual income would not exceed three hundred gold crowns. It will be enough for him to maintain a decent and prosperous life after he retires, but if something happens he will need to use his pension funds. Apart from anything else, the social interactions between the nobles may make Claude feel strapped for money. What's more, don't forget that he now has a son, and his sister-in-law, mother, and sister Anna will all come to the mainland of Nubicia in a while, and arranging their living accommodation will require Claude to spend a lot of money. money
Claude was quickly persuaded by his brother Blovik. There was no other way. Several of his close subordinates knew about the matter, and they concealed this huge sum of money with his younger brother Blovik. down. Although he is not greedy for money, there is no need to hand over this wealth against everyone's wishes. What's more, more than half a month has passed. Now reporting this military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom will make people even more suspicious. They may even have to hand over the person responsible for concealing this huge military expenditure. Claude can He doesn't have the heart and courage to kill relatives for justice.
It’s just that no one expected that General Vansnik, the army’s logistics chief who had just been transferred, was a mad dog. He learned about such a huge military expenditure from the captured Hicks Kingdom’s logistics chief, so he bit Claude. Don’t let go. His argument is very simple. Because the 131st Ranger Regiment captured Wickham Castle, Claude must give an explanation, even if Claude has proven that he does not know about the Hicks Kingdom. Military expenditures exist, but General Vansnik still refuses to give up.
So when Claude announced that he would lead all the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment to Wickham Castle to excavate the ruins and find the huge military expenditure of the missing Kingdom of Hicks, many people in the Ranger Regiment regarded this as a A farce and a joke. You must know that General Vansnik once sent a logistics battalion to search for more than a week in the ruins of Wickham Castle, and only found a few copper feeneys from the Hicks Kingdom.
However, the 131st Ranger Regiment spent more than half a month digging in the ruins of Wickham Castle, and soon gained a harvest. They found deformed gold Kepu shields, silver Kailuo and The three types of coins, the copper penny, and many metal pieces that were broken into pieces due to the explosion, were roughly worth nearly ten thousand gold crowns. This result surprised those who were watching. Obviously, Claude and the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Regiment did not lie. They did miss such a huge military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom.
Now the rest of the Rangers couldn't sit still. They all ran to the ruins of Wickham Castle under the slogan of assisting in the excavation. They occupied a piece of land and started digging. All the ashes were washed with water, just like gold mining. So as not to miss the coins among them. Not to mention, everyone has something to gain. In one day, you can find gold, silver and copper coins worth hundreds of gold crowns, and some can be worth dozens of gold crowns.
General Vansnik soon received the report, and he personally went to the Wickham ruins to check. As a result, Claude didn't say much and only ordered people to collect the deformed gold, silver, and copper coins found by the 131st Ranger Regiment and those formed by the explosion. The pieces of metal scraps were put in front of him and he estimated them in front of everyone. The value of these alone exceeded nearly ten thousand gold crowns. The officers in charge of other troops who divided Wickham Castle into pieces also took out some deformed gold, silver, copper coins and metal scraps, which together were worth nearly ten thousand gold crowns.
The facts are already very clear. The so-called military expenditure of the Hicks Kingdom worth more than half a million gold crowns did not disappear. It was just that the big explosion in the ammunition depot material warehouse area shattered those gold, silver and copper coins into pieces. The final pieces may be blown to other areas and mixed in ashes and garbage. You can find them if you look carefully. General Vansnik was the first to send the logistics battalion to search, but he was looking for the military expenses in the cash box and did not pay attention to the ashes and garbage on the ruins.
But the shrewd General Vansnik soon discovered a flaw: why there were no intact gold, silver and copper coins among the things turned over. Claude and other army commanders all smiled and said nothing, or pretended not to understand what Vansnik was saying. What did General Nick mean? They just argued that these things were only taken out for General Vansnik to take a look at, and they had no intention of handing them over. This is the hard earned income of the officers and soldiers of their army during this period. It can also be worth some money if exchanged, and some welfare subsidies and other benefits can be given to the officers and soldiers of the army.
Claude and the others were right. These deformed gold, silver and copper coins and the metal fragments formed by the explosion did not need to be turned over. First of all, this is not property belonging to the kingdom, but the military expenditure of the Kingdom of Hicks. After the explosion, they were scattered in the ruins and have become ownerless things. Whoever finds them will get them. Secondly, it has been half a year since the end of this war. The things excavated from the ruins now are not battlefield seizures. General Vansnik has no reason at all to ask everyone to hand over these found properties to him.
General Vansnik, who was suffocated by Claude and the others, looked angrily at the bustling excavations in front of him with people coming and going. With his sharp eyes, he saw a soldier dig out a piece of rubbish. I wiped a shiny golden gold shield on my clothes a few times, then stuffed it into my trouser pocket with a satisfied smile.
General Vansnik immediately understood why he had not seen those intact gold Kepu shields, silver Kaile and copper Feni. Claude and the others were right. Whoever found them would own them. He couldn't stay any longer and hurried back to the legion headquarters. Somehow he managed to get General Michelich to agree and hatch a plan to rectify military discipline. He brought all the troops who were working hard at the ruins of Wickham Castle back to their respective stations for the so-called military rectification. Then he personally took the logistics battalion to the ruins of Wickham Castle and set it up as a warning place. dig
It's just that General Vansnik was not very lucky. After working for a month, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he could only find gold, silver and copper coins worth about 10,000 gold crowns. Now he felt that the troops who had dug earlier had taken the lion's share, and he had lost. It was also a shame that he had the nerve to go to the officers in charge of those troops and ask for a share of their profits. After all, it is a huge military expenditure worth more than half a million gold crowns. It seems that I only got more than 10,000 gold crowns worth, which is too little.
Of course the officers headed by Claude were not willing to suffer. They dug well but were called back to the barracks for some kind of military discipline. Then General Vansnik took the logistics camp and occupied the entire ruins of Wickham Castle. After digging for more than a month, he came back and said that he didn't find much, and asked everyone to give him a share of the military expenses found. It's a shame that he thought of it and was so thick-skinned. Moreover, Claude and the others suspected that General Vansnik had concealed his fortune and pretended to be poor on purpose.
So the entire Ranger Corps got into a fuss over this military expense matter, and the strange thing was that General Michelich didn't seem to care. Claude, on the other hand, successfully got rid of the suspicion and could sit back and watch the army commanders in the legion continue to quarrel with General Vansnik.
