Claude is very busy. Although Marshal Michelchi has helped him take care of most of the candidates for the theater command at the new theater preparatory meeting, the chief officers in charge of various departments such as communications, intelligence, logistics, etc. have made arrangements, so there is no need Claude bothered. But because Claude decided to move the new theater headquarters to Lanhu Town, everyone was extremely busy.
However, Marshal Michelich did not object to Claude's decision, because he also felt that the location of Greno Castle as the capital of the Amphiston Territory was indeed too far away, and it was not as good as Lanhu Town, which is located in Amphiston. Dunton is directly under the central government and has convenient transportation. It’s just that Greno Castle was the mountain town with the largest mining development at that time, and was the location of two gold mines. The Amphiston Directive has always been focused on mineral development, and it is understandable that the capital should be located in Greno Castle for the smooth development and safety protection of the two gold mines.
But in wartime, it would be a mistake to set the theater headquarters in Greno Castle. It takes most of a day to get from Lanhu Town to Greno Castle. If there is an emergency, it will take a day to go back and forth, which will be a big delay. Just moving the theater headquarters to Lanhu Town is not an easy task. Not to mention anything else, just transporting the supplies stored by the Ranger Corps to Lanhu Town is a very troublesome matter. What's more, Marshal Michelich also ordered all the four-wheeled freight carriages of the entire legion to be taken away, preparing to go to the Tiersim Direct Territory to pick up the immigrant families.
As Marshal Michelich said, time is indeed very tight. The Storm Fleet has already escorted the immigrant fleet out to sea, and will reach the Tiersim Direct Territory in about half a month. It takes more than twenty days to go from the Tiersim Direct Territory to the Amphiston Direct Territory. Of course, this means transporting it by carriage.
In other words, the theater headquarters needs to complete the relocation within thirty to forty days and set up a large immigration reception camp in Lanhu Town to give these immigrants a place to stay. And make industrial arrangements for these immigrant families. During this period, these immigrant families will also be provided with daily necessities, food supplies for consumption, and medical assistance.
Things were so busy that Claude was almost too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Even though his family's villa and estate was in Lanhu Town, he had no time to go home and have a good night's rest. Fortunately, he was gratified that with the help of close associates such as McJack, Belklin and Diavid, more than 4,000 veterans of the 131st Ranger Regiment were willing to join the Thunder Division to be formed. regiment, which allowed Claude to complete the basic structure of the new division effortlessly.
Marshal Michelich's estimate was correct. Most of the officers and soldiers of the old Ranger Division were willing to transfer to the second-line army after being promoted to the first rank. Rather than receiving salary and welfare subsidies, they are more willing to make a career on the battlefield. As long as they can win the battle, the rewards after the war are often more than the salary and so on, especially since they have confidence in Claude. Under Claude's command, they receive more benefits than other units of the Rangers. Richer.
Among the more than 30,000 former Ranger Division veterans, 26,000 are willing to transfer to the five newly formed reinforced divisions, and more than 2,000 of the 30,000 newly recruited recruits are willing to stay with the veterans. it's here. Marshal Michelich simply ordered five thousand veterans for each division, and gave the remaining three thousand to Claude's Thunder Division.
The more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Ranger Corps who were going to be brought back to the kingdom were used as coolies by Marshal Michelic. During the period before returning to the country, they needed to go to Lanhu Town to set up an immigrant reception camp, open roads, and expand the town. , complained and complained from exhaustion. Marshal Michelich didn't care. He said that these losers didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, so if they did some hard work, their service as soldiers was not in vain.
Mr. Veblen's son Derivic also voluntarily joined the Thunder Corps as a retired officer and became a lieutenant officer again. He is currently undergoing a study and adaptation inspection. Claude took time out to have a brief meeting with President Hindman of the Mining and Commerce Association to determine the principles for immigration distribution.
As expected by Claude, what the Mining and Commerce Association needed was not immigrants to mine. Mining work could only be done by the young men of the Nicancha people. What they need is talents. For example, in this world, a family can have as few as five or six people, and as many as a dozen or so people. In addition to one retired soldier in each of the 100,000 immigrant households, they also have parents, brothers and sisters. And mining and business associations need to find talent
This is an overseas territory directly under the jurisdiction of the country. Compared with the local counties in the kingdom, it is really difficult to find talents. The Mining and Commerce Association has put up too much of a showdown in the mountainous areas directly under the jurisdiction of Amphiston, and there is an extreme lack of grassroots management personnel. As a last resort, those Nikancha people had to be assigned to grassroots management positions, which resulted in very low production efficiency. In the past, we were trying to find people to do the work, but now that there are 100,000 families immigrating here in the Kingdom, the Mining and Business Association naturally took the idea of the families of these immigrants.
As President Hindman said, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate. You can manage those Nikancha people by working hard. There is no need for much encouragement and help. With a musket in one hand and a whip in the other, most Nikancha people will be obedient. What the Mining and Commerce Association lacks is these people with guns and whips. In addition, it would be better if some of the immigrant family members are literate and can do arithmetic. The association has plenty of job arrangements.
Claude also agreed with President Hindman that in principle he would not object to the Mining and Commerce Association recruiting talents from these immigrant families, but everything must be voluntary, and people from the association would have to wait until the immigrant families arrived at the detention camp to enter the camp. There must be no deception or coercion in camp recruitment. Only those who voluntarily go to settle in mountain towns can let the association help with settlement.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye it has been more than thirty days, and the first batch of immigrants is about to arrive. At this time, Claude, who was at the theater headquarters, received a report that something had happened to the logistics department.
General Vansnik, the head of the logistics department of the Ranger Corps, made trouble again. He did not know that Marshal Michelich had left all the military supplies reserved by the Corps to the new war zone. The person in charge of these logistics affairs was Sk. Colonel Lee. Based on the account books compiled by the Legion Logistics Department, he believed that there were too many captured Hicks Kingdom military supplies stored in them, so he planned to find a purchaser to sell the contents of these warehouses.
Perhaps because the day to return to the kingdom is getting closer, General Vansnik, who is the head of the Ranger Legion's logistics department, is becoming more and more careless and wants to give away the unused military supplies stored in the Legion's warehouse. Package and sell it and turn it into cash. Anyway, in his mind, he thought that if he couldn't take these things back, it would be easier to sell them, so he took it upon himself to contact businessmen to sell these military supplies.
After finally getting in touch with an interested big businessman, General Vansnik excitedly asked him to go to the Legion's material warehouse to check out the goods. As a result, General Vansnik was shocked as soon as he opened the door of the warehouse. Not only that the goods stored in several warehouses were gone, but the materials still stored in several warehouses had seals on them, and they were covered with special labels for the Theater Logistics Department. seal
General Vansnik became anxious on the spot. It was clearly a reserve of military supplies for the Ranger Corps, but how could it become that of the Theater Logistics Department? He angrily went to Colonel Skerry and demanded that the Rangers' supplies be returned. However, Colonel Skerry told him that this was an order from Marshal Michelci to transfer all the military supplies stored by the Ranger Corps to the war zone, and they could not be brought back to the Kingdom anyway.
The furious General Vansnik declared that Marshal Michelci's order was an indiscriminate order. As the logistics director of the Ranger Corps, he did not know about it at all. Therefore, the military supplies stored by the Corps could not be transferred without his consent. For other troops, he ordered Colonel Skerry to immediately hand over all the supplies and return them to him.
Colonel Skerry immediately refused to carry out his order, requiring him to obtain the consent and warrant of Marshal Michelchi before returning the armaments.
But where did General Vansnik have the courage to go to Marshal Michelci? His original idea was to sell these excess military supplies, and then make a profit from it himself, and then use the rest of the money to invest in The ledger of the Ranger Legion Logistics Department is regarded as one of his political achievements. Now that this plan failed, he became angry and emphasized that Marshal Michelci did not have the authority to deal with this military equipment. This fell under the jurisdiction of him, the head of the logistics department.
So he ordered the military police of the Ranger Corps' Military Justice Department to detain Colonel Skerry on the charge of secretly transferring and embezzling military supplies. Then he packaged and sold the military supplies still stored in the warehouse to the purchaser. Big businessman.
Colonel Skerry is currently in charge of the logistics department of the new theater. As soon as he was detained, the entire logistics department was in chaos. No one could make the decision, and many things immediately became backlogged. Fortunately, there were other logistics officers who were clear-headed and immediately used hawks to send messages to Claude, as well as Colonel Beachlin of the 4th Rock Division reorganized in Greno Castle.
Although the new theater headquarters has been relocated to Lanhu Town, Colonel Skerry's logistics department is still processing the reserve materials transferred to the theater by the Ranger Regiment in Greno Castle. No one expected such a thing to happen. At this time, Marshal Michelich went to the city of Bricaman, directly under the jurisdiction of Robisto, to inspect the formation of the First Rock Division and the defense line of the Dolinibara River. And General Vansnik has the highest official position in the Ranger Corps headquarters, and no one can stop him.
Claude was beyond his reach, and it was impossible for him to fly to Greno Castle right away. He could only send a hawk message to Colonel Beach Kerin, requesting him to immediately implement martial law in Greno Castle, prevent the businessman who purchased a large amount of military supplies from leaving the city, and put him in custody first, and then lead people to the Ranger Regiment to command. Department, rescue Colonel Skerry.
But more than an hour later, Claude once again received a message from Colonel Buechlin. The letter said that General Vansnik had used the logistics camp of the Ranger Regiment Logistics Department to escort the big businessman's convoy out of the city. . The two sides are currently in a confrontation. General Vansnik accused Colonel Beachlin of planning a mutiny.
Claude wanted to curse. Although most of the Ranger Corps' troops were engaged in construction in Lanhu Town, there was also a guard camp and a logistics camp at the Ranger Corps headquarters in Greno Castle. Claude couldn't let Colonel Beachlin actually open fire on the legion's logistics camp under pressure, otherwise the trouble would be out of control. After all, they were also acting under orders.
The communications officer at the theater command reported that it would take three hours for the Harrier to fly to Bricaman City in Robisto Municipal Territory, and it would be around six o'clock in the evening to receive a reply from there. However, Marshal Michelich set out yesterday morning. It is estimated that they are still on the way and will probably not arrive in Bricaman City until tomorrow afternoon. In addition, although Marshal Michelich brought a kite with him, he could only send the kite over first and then use the kite to send the message to him. It is impossible for the messenger hawk in the theater headquarters to target a group of people on their way.
What to do? Claude frowned and thought for a moment. If this emergency incident is not handled well, it will have a great impact on the new war zone. No one expected that the good-for-nothing General Vansnik would catch everyone off guard during this period. In fact, the batch of military supplies he resold didn't matter. They were all captured Hicks Kingdom's reserves anyway. When Marshal Michele comes back in a few days, he will naturally be dealt with.
However, Claude didn't want to let go of General Vansnik. If he didn't give him a severe lesson this time, he might cause a lot of trouble in the coming days. And if he succeeds this time, it will only cast a shadow on the new theater command. The people above naturally understand their difficulties, but what the soldiers below will think of it will greatly reduce their prestige as the new supreme commander of the theater.
"Send the hawk message again and ask Colonel Beachlin to let them pass."
"Send the order, the guerrilla battalion of the Thunder Division will be dispatched with me immediately." Claude ordered.
The guerrilla battalion is currently the only fully-staffed battalion in the Thunder Division. Its structure is just like the 131 Field Reinforcement Battalion led by Claude of the Ranger Division, with Mike as the battalion commander. There are more than 1,600 people in the battalion, all of whom are veterans. This is the sharpest knife prepared by Claude as the Thunder Division.
After about two hours, Claude led the guerrilla battalion to the entrance of the mountain road and ordered a rest. At the same time, sentries were sent up the mountain road to see if the merchant convoy escorted by the logistics camp led by General Vansnik had arrived. Fortunately, there was only one avenue down the mountain from Greno Castle, and the convoy could only pass through here.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the sentry rider came to report that the convoy would be arriving soon.
What happened next was very simple. The guerrilla camp ambushing beside the mountain road suddenly appeared, shouting slogans that General Vansnik was treasonous and should be arrested immediately, and anyone who dared to resist would be killed on the spot.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the logistics camp were disoriented and at a loss, and were successfully disarmed. On the other hand, General Vansnik yelled angrily, saying that he was a bloodline branch of the Sterling royal family, how could he be treason? This was clearly a slander. Several officers next to him were moved and were about to come up to question him, but they were swarmed by veterans from the guerrilla camp, beaten down and tied up.
Claude walked up to General Vansnik, took out a Falcon Message from his arms, and raised it in front of everyone: "This is the Falcon Message just sent by Marshal Michelchi. It says General Vansnik betrayed the interests of the kingdom, had an affair with the Kingdom of Hicks, stole intelligence from the war zone, and ordered the war zone to arrest him immediately."
No one could see clearly what was written on the Falcon Message in Claude's hand, but because of Claude's definitely serious tone, they basically believed that this was indeed an order issued by Marshal Michelich.
Only General Vansnik was still jumping up and down: "You are talking nonsense. I have not committed treason. You are slandering a member of the King's Division. I will not let you go."
Claude punched him directly on the chin, and he immediately fell to the ground struggling.
"Catch him, tie him up, and throw him into the carriage. Put some torn socks in his mouth. The carriage will bump so that he won't accidentally bite his tongue." Claude took out a white handkerchief and wiped his fist.
"Sir, what about the businessman and the convoy?" McJack asked.
"Take them all away and let Colonel Xazolak interrogate him. Isn't he an anti-espionage agent? I need the businessman to admit that he is a secret agent of the Hicks Kingdom."
