"What else to discuss~" Felix waved his hand, "I don't want the deposit anymore, how about giving it together when the final payment is made later? Brother, I can give it to you, and I'll save Ruster's face~! "

"Okay, let's do as you said~" Seeing that the servant had delivered the contract, Lynch could only nod in agreement.

After a while, Lynch returned to the hotel in a corner in the north of the city.Standing at the door of the room, he knocked lightly on the door.

"Lop-eared rabbit!" A deep voice came from inside the door.

"Long-eared donkey!" Lynch said the secret language.

The door of the room opened, and an equally ordinary man with a short cut cut ushered Lynch into the room.

"Sergeant Lynch, is the mission complete?" the man asked.

"Of course, I'm the secret guard of the royal city. How can such a small matter trouble me?" Lynch laughed.

"Very good, I'll go to Jebri later and finalize the remaining [-] jin. Our task this time has been successfully completed."

"Sergeant Collison, I may not be able to go to Jebri's side." Lynch shook his head.

"Why?!" Collison was a little puzzled, "Could it be that you were exposed?!"

"That's not true, well, to be honest, you don't need to go to him, but today when I was leaving, I tested Felix, and the guy was hooked. I was thinking, maybe the same method can be used to get Jebri Also take out [-] catties of grain!" Then, Lynch told Collison exactly what happened at Felix's house.

"Oh! The rumors of the feud between these two are indeed true! Well, if the information is correct, the success of repeating the old trick is very high! It doesn't matter if it fails, after all, our mission goal has been achieved." Collison nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, are you really not going?"

"Of course, after all, it's stated in the second contract that business must be done with integrity." Lynch replied with a smile, and then said, "But it's me who signed the contract, not you. You go to Jebri, no It's all right?~"

"Haha, it's really you!"

It's early autumn, and the heat of summer has not completely faded away. The city of Claycoin, deep in the southern hinterland of the kingdom, is still very hot, but Walter, who is in the quiet office of the "Temporary Presidential Palace", feels as if he has fallen into an ice cellar. Frozen from the bottom of my heart.

He was holding a report, his hands trembling slightly, the news on it hit him like being poured cold water in the depths of winter.After taking ten deep breaths, Walter, the interim president of the Confederate States, calmed down a little.He took a deep breath and shouted:

"Ha~! Ji~! Mum Mum Mum Mum!!"

"I'm here, Your Excellency the President~!" Hajim, the current special secretary to the President, who was working in the office next door, ran in immediately.

As soon as Hajim entered the door, he found Walter staring at him with great anger. He couldn't help but let him lower his head, and asked a little unnaturally, "Your Excellency, what instructions do you have?"

"Instructions?!" Walter was furious, and threw the report in Hajim's face!

"Come on, look at this!" Walter roared: "I have already issued a ban! Food from all cities in the south is not allowed to be shipped to the north! But look, they completely treat my ban as bullshit!"

Hajim picked up the report in a hurry, flipped through it, and explained: "Your Excellency, the ban you issued before is 'not allowed to sign contracts with northern cities and stop food delivery.'

"So?!! Did they listen?!" Walter snarled.

"Your Excellency, look," Hajim stepped forward, pointing to a part of the report, "this date, and this one, in fact, the food delivery mentioned in these reports is actually It was signed before you issued the ban, and the earliest contract even dates back to September last year."

"So they can transport it over?! Ah?! Are they all crazy? Think they didn't die fast enough? If they transported an extra amount of food, the time for the mad king to send troops would be one day earlier!!! This makes sense , don’t they know?!!!”

Hajim scratched his face, and finally bravely said: "Your Excellency, these contracts were signed in the past, and in principle they can be regarded as already signed. Look, didn't they not sign a single order after that? After all, the order is only a small number..."

"Bullshit!" Walter walked back to his actions angrily, and punched the table: "Immediately issue an order to prohibit the delivery of food to the northern part of the kingdom! Any more deliverers will be punished as treason!!"

"Your Excellency, how long is your ban?"

"What??!" Walter was furious, "immediately! Immediately! Immediately after receiving the letter! Immediately! Immediately!! Listen clearly! No matter when the list is! Stop it all! Immediately!"

"Other strategic materials, such as magic stones, minerals, leather, medicines, and even livestock and fishing! As long as they are related to strategic materials, they are all embargoed. Listen carefully, they are all. I don't care who they signed the contract with and when Signed, in short, all materials are not allowed to enter the northern border for half a step!"

"Your Excellency, I have to advise you," Hajim had to walk to the desk, bowed his head and said: "The current interim government does not have much real power, military strength and financial resources. They will join the interim government in order to protect their property from being deprived by the mad king. And if you threaten them with a ban at this time, the effect will not be good. There is a gap in your heart, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the implementation of your government orders in the future!"

"It's not just property! It's their lives too! The lives of their family!!! For a few pieces of money, they can even give up their lives?!" Walter yelled.

"Your Excellency, er, I believe that the mad king's troops are approaching the city, and even as long as there is news of the official dispatch of troops, they will definitely not sell food to the northern border, but at this juncture, their courage is really fat. You are also from the south, so you should be aware of the nature of those people, and besides their ugliness, didn’t you see all of them in the previous meeting?” Hajim finished speaking and spread his hands.

Walter fell silent, merchants are greedy, nobles are shameless, no matter whether merchants become nobles or nobles go into business, the lower limit of the original human nature of the two is beyond people's imagination.Unfortunately, the nobles in the south are basically a bunch of money-crazed bastards who will sell anything if they can afford it.Walter even suspected that if the king paid a high price for his head, his head would have been rotten on the gate of the royal city by now.

Seeing that his remonstrance had taken effect, Hajim stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, look at this. At present, a lot of food supplies have been transported to the north, and it will not help to pursue the dereliction of duty of the city lords in various places. Why don't you issue a sharp condemnation draft, then issue a new ban, set a time limit, let the city lords of various places fulfill the contracts signed earlier, and finally reiterate the prohibition of transporting materials to the north."

"What?!" Walter interrupted Hajim's proposal, and said in astonishment: "Hajim, you asked me to give an order to allow them to continue to perform the previous contract? Let them continue to deliver food and supplies, so that the Mad King can speed up his southward invasion. Agenda?!! Are you crazy?!"

Hajim smiled indifferently, and continued: "Your Excellency, my subordinate is not crazy. The suggestion made by my subordinate is of great benefit to the entire Southern Federation!"

"Oh? It's of great benefit? I think you're giving the carriage a runaway, and you're giving it another whip!" Walter sneered.

"Your Excellency, it is true that the more food and supplies they send to the north, the closer the day when the Mad King will go south, but this is good for us, especially you!"

"Oh?!" Walter narrowed his eyes, looked at Hajim with scrutiny, and pondered: "Go on, Hajim, keep talking."

"As you wish," Hajim let go of his body and continued: "No matter how you block it, the city lords of Zhucheng will not give up the contracts signed in the past. After all, as I said, those contracts have been signed by the city lords of all parties. As actual property, they will complete those transactions no matter what. Your Excellency, the executive power of the current government is very weak. If a large-scale gap is caused and the actual power holders in various places no longer cooperate with the Federation, then the Southern Federation will also It just fell apart."

"You're right, Hajim," Walter nodded slightly, and then asked again: "But this is really a good thing for the Federation? They are capitalizing on the enemy! And what does this have to do with me? Theirs Behavior, it's like tying me up and sending me to the gallows!!"

"Of course it is beneficial, Your Excellency President~" Hajim said with a smile: "As you said, if one more supply is sent to the northern border, the Maharaja of the Mad King will go south one day earlier. This will indeed make us lose valuable strategies Preparation time, but in fact, even without these materials, the days when the northern maharajas will go south will not be delayed for long, and they will send troops soon. And then, is the moment when you really have power! After all, today’s The interim government is not really a country at all, it has very, very little power."

"Think about it, when the majesty surrounds the city of Lockliang, the city lords of the southern cities will definitely send envoys, and even come to Clakein to have a meeting with you, so that they can use your wisdom and rely on your understanding of the northern border. Come to fight and resist the invasion of the Maharaja, and at that time, the Southern Federation will be truly established."

As if seeing Hajim for the first time, Walter carefully inspected the other person's whole body, and finally said coldly: "Hajim, go, issue another ban, let them take the past within seven days from the day they receive the new order. Let me deal with the bad debts! Then, tell them, whoever dares to take new orders, is ready to face the risk of the mad king alone!"

"As you wish~" Hajim turned and left the office with a smile on his face, leaving Walter alone in the empty room with the autumn wind blowing.
