Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 147 The dude was also frightened

　Here in Gardes City, the French coalition encountered a little trouble.

  The quantity of logistics supplies...does not match.

According to the prior agreement between the two parties, after France's coalition forces entered the Aijaka Empire, all qualification supplies were provided by the latter.

  And there is a minimum value for the types and quantities of supplies provided every month.

 But now, the first batch of supplies has arrived, and something is not right as soon as they are counted.

 About a quarter less.

“Sir Hardy, this is the data we counted.”

Hardy took the order, glanced at it, and handed it to Mrs. Sissi next to him.

Mrs. Sissi, who was sitting at the dining table, shrugged helplessly after reading it.

 At this time, Deville-Pere, who was sitting next to him, had a complicated expression.

　　　A little ashamed and a little sarcastic.

Of course, her sarcastic expression was probably not directed at Hardy and the others, everyone could still see that.

“The neighboring Balik family is responsible for the transportation of logistics supplies.” Deville sighed: “They are very powerful and have wide connections.”

What Deville means is that it may be difficult to get back the materials that this family has embezzled.

At this time, Hardy said softly.

 Speaking of the Balik family, he remembered it.

 The comprehensive strength of the South in the original world line is actually slightly stronger than that of the North.

 After all, the South has money. In large-scale battles, logistics is the key.

 However, the biggest loophole is the Balik family.

 They embezzled a lot of supplies. They were not noticeable at the beginning and had little impact on the campaign.

 In the middle and late stages, the war supplies in the South finally failed to keep up, and this was finally discovered by the top leaders of the North and South at the same time.

At that time, the southern leader, also known as the Grand Commander, immediately executed all the adult men of the Balik family, leaving only the woman and two young sons.

 Although the processing speed is very fast, the normal transfer of materials is not so fast.

The north took advantage of this opportunity to capture three important strategic locations, and then slowly compressed the strategic space of the south. In the end, it took half a year to completely defeat the southern faction.

"A quarter of the supplies will not have much impact." Mrs. Sissi looked at Hardy and said, "Before we came, we reserved 50% of the supply quota. If they took away a quarter, we could still There is still a slight surplus to maintain the supply of the army.”

Hardy shook his head: "I don't think so. People are greedy. Now he is one-quarter. No one punishes him or exposes him. Will he become one-third in the future? Half?"

Mrs. Sissi nodded slightly. She felt that what Hardy said made sense.

 De Vere held her chin up. Although she didn't like the Balik family, she felt that Hardy was exaggerating.

“I feel that a quarter is already the limit. The Balik family would never dare to eat a third or even a half.”

 Deville helped to defend himself a little.

 After all, we are all from the same country and share the same honor and disgrace.

Mrs. Sissi looked at Hardy and asked, "What are your plans?"

"We don't care how much supplies Balik gives to other armies, but our French coalition must receive enough supplies. This is a contract." Hardy said calmly: "Otherwise we should withdraw from this battle. "

 In this case, there is no need to talk about feelings.

 Whether supplies are sufficient is related to the morale of an army.

Mrs. Sissi thought for a while, and then said to Deville: "Ms. Pell, Hardy said what I was thinking. Gardes County makes me feel very good, as relaxed and happy as returning home, but this The matter of supplies made me feel extremely cold as I stood in the cold wind.”

De Vere smiled bitterly and said: "We, the Pell family, are not qualified to take care of the affairs of the Balik family. In terms of title, they are one level higher than us."

"How should we deal with it?" Mrs. Sissi asked softly.

Deville thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll write a letter and report what happened here to the higher-ups. The commander-in-chief will handle it properly." "This is best." Mrs. Sissi said with a smile, "But there is no such thing. Our French coalition will not set off until we receive enough supplies. At the same time, during the delay, the supplies must be replenished. "

　　With a wry smile, Deville responded repeatedly.

 Before she left, she glanced at Hardy one more time.

 This handsome young man seems to have more... Mrs. Sissi's trust than she imagined.

After Deville left, Mrs. Sissi stood up and said, "Hardy, and Alice, shall we go for a walk?"

 “It’s a bit dangerous,” Hardy said.

"With the protection of you two, I don't think there is much danger." Mrs. Sissi smiled.

 Alice is very professional.

 As long as it was in public, she would stay next to Mrs. Sissi, silent, and act as a transparent person.

 Now she is very satisfied with her 'job', or the task she has received.

 Golden tasks, experience is calculated daily, and remuneration is calculated weekly.

 Now she not only has spare money, but her level has also reached LV4, which can be said to be an extremely smooth start.

 More importantly, her relationship with Madame Sissi is getting better and better.

Last night, Madam Sissi was even trying to recruit her.

　　Promise that as long as she returns to Francie, she will take over the management of the Jeanne family's death squad.

 The remuneration is also very high.

 Alice is very moved and has already agreed.

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Then bring a few more Silver Wing Knights to follow."

 “That’s okay, I’ll listen to you.”

 Subsequently, Madam Sissi and her party wandered around the city.

Compared with France, which has a pleasant climate, the south of the Ajiaka Empire seems a bit dry and hot.

But fortunately, Mrs. Sissi is also a professional, and her resistance to cold and heat is better than ordinary people, so she doesn't feel too uncomfortable.

 But after shopping for a long time, she felt bored.

 Because there’s really nothing to see here.

 The Ajiaka Empire was strong because it had many slaves and rich products.

However, the Aijaka Empire has just been established for more than a hundred years and has not yet formed its own national culture.

His urban infrastructure style was copied from France's.

 So wandering around here almost feels like shopping in China. At the same time, it is not very prosperous and not interesting.

Mrs. Sissi, who was not interested, returned to the castle. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard someone arguing. When she walked over and took a look, she found that it was a young man pestering Deville.

The crowd immediately rushed over and surrounded the two people.

 Including several heavily armed Silver Wing Knights.

The young man found himself surrounded and immediately shouted angrily: "Mrs. Pell, you actually want to arrest me?"

De Vere took two steps back and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Balik, the rightful owner you are looking for is here."

Hearing this, the young man's anger subsided a little. He turned around and looked at Hadi and others.

 At last, his eyes fell on Madam Sissi.

"Such a temperamental woman deserves to be born in France, but she is more elegant than our savage **** from Dijiaka!" The young man's expression was still a little lewd at first, but then his whole body was shocked: " Wait, France’s woman? The commander-in-chief of the coalition... Hiss!"

 He took a deep breath of cold air.
