627: Chapter 153, The Game Behind the Scenes_1 627: Chapter 153, The Game Behind the Scenes_1 “Everyone is gathered today for one main purpose – to fill the gaps in our accounts!”

You all must have heard about the investigation team.

It is not a rumor, both the Kingdom and the Human Alliance have organized investigation teams that will soon arrive at the front lines.

Everyone here is an executor in the logistic transport of our allied forces.

Since I took up my post, I believe everybody is aware of whether I have been embezzling the military supplies or not.

Losses during logistics transportation are inevitable due to various sudden situations on the battlefield.

Occasionally, when losses exceed limits and warehouse outflow and inflow data does not match, it is considered a normal phenomenon.

These are the unspoken rules of the military, which generally no one inquires about, as long as they don’t exceed the limits.

However, this time it’s different.

Someone has decided to bring these unspoken rules into the public eye.

The Alliance Council now wants to look into this matter.

In that case, whoever is responsible for the areas showing gaps in the accounts will have to undertake matters accordingly.

Whether you choose to cover the shortfalls or provide explanations to the investigating team is completely up to you.

It’s not my concern.

Anyway, the problem needs to be solved without implicating everyone else, and without garnering a reputation for embezzlement and sale of military supplies, which would be looked down upon by the world!

I am giving you ten days.

After ten days, the Logistic Department will organize an internal audit.

Whoever’s region shows a shortfall, they will have to take responsibility.

This situation is serious, it is not something that can be solved by throwing a few scapegoats under the bus.

Anyone harboring any kind of delusion will eventually hurt themselves as much as others.

If the investigative team finds out any problem, it will cost lives!

If you have any doubts, you can consult Duke Pias.

I am sure the Duke will provide a satisfactory answer to all of you!”

Hudson stated indifferently at the military meeting of the Logistic Department.

The investigation team from the Human Alliance is not merely here to look into the sale of logistic materials, there’s a larger political implication behind it.

Otherwise, even if an investigation was necessary, they would involve people from several countries responsible for the logistics, and work on the investigation together.

Regrettably, the news Hudson received is that the Human Alliance has separately sent out its investigation team.

They also excluded the people from the Northland Four under the pretext of avoiding suspicion.

It did not surprise Hudson that the Moxi Duchy, the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Orton Duchy were treated this way.

But specifically targeting the Alpha Kingdom was a bit too much.

As the most powerful nation of the North, the Alpha Kingdom ranks among the major forces in the Human Race.

Despite the substantial damages, it still remains a powerful force among humans.

Under normal circumstances, considering the status of Alpha Kingdom in the Human Alliance, nobody would act so decisively.

After all, there have been no significant oversights in the logistics since the start of the counter-attack by the Allied Forces.

The performance of the Logistics Department has been excellent.

In this era where results matter, even when people report issues, the Alliance Council should initially suppress the issue, postponing the investigation until after the war.

The hurried initiation of the investigation makes one wonder, would they be able to replace the entire outstanding Logistic Department if they find any issues?

Even if the investigation team is bold, who can guarantee that the successors will perform better than the current ones?

What if they mess up, who would take the responsibility if the front lines of the Allied Forces suffer because the logistics can’t keep up?

In the world of nobles, there is no absolute right or wrong.

The actions of the Alliance Council clearly aim at the distribution of benefits after the war.

Whether they admit it or not, the Alpha Kingdom has contributed the most in this war, followed closely by the Moxi Duchy and the Warfield Kingdom.

According to tradition, the country that contributes the most should also get the biggest piece of the cake.

Unquestionably, this is just the ideal situation.

Many years ago, a group of people who couldn’t accept the rules broke this fair distribution pattern based on contribution.

This time is no exception.

Although everyone doesn’t value the Orc Prairie, it doesn’t mean they’re willing to see the Alpha Kingdom continue to expand into the Orc Prairie.

If a fair distribution is carried out, the Alpha Kingdom can take at least one-third of the Orc Prairie, effectively doubling their territory.

If such a large piece of land were developed, the Alpha Kingdom would become too powerful.

No forces in the Northern Lands would be able to counterbalance them.

Even if Caesar III has promised to give up territorial claims on the Orc Prairie, it still doesn’t reassure everyone.

Verbal promises can be revoked at any time.

Furthermore, the Alpha Kingdom not claiming any territory doesn’t mean that the Kingdom’s nobles won’t participate in sharing the spoils of war.

Even if a new country is established, the ties cannot be severed.

With geographical advantages, the Alpha Kingdom could gradually annex the Orc Prairie.

For strategic balance, other major human forces will certainly take action.

Everyone was worried about finding a reason to kick the Alpha Kingdom out of the game, and they didn’t expect the opportunity to present itself so easily.

As long as they can prove that the grand nobles of the Alpha Kingdom were involved in the sale of strategic materials, they can logically kick them out of the game.

Without these pathfinders, it would be difficult for the Alpha Kingdom to expand into the Orc Prairie, even if they recover their strength, under the watch of all the major forces.
