Chapter 511 Black Humor
"It's all for your majesty."
The factory director's expression was sincere when he spoke, and there was no sign of falsehood.
Dagu looked up and down and had to admit that he was shallow.
As for whether the other party was telling the truth?
He didn't believe it at all. The shipyard made up for the deficit in advance and caught so many rats. It can be seen what the environment is like.
If a white lotus grows in the mud, it can't be the factory director's mud.
However, the words were really beautiful, and the other party didn't reveal any obvious flaws. If they insisted on talking about dereliction of duty, at most they would just remove the other party from his position, which was meaningless.
Dagu simply turned the page. The purpose of warning was achieved, which was enough.
The interrogation expert who checked the authenticity of the case had not returned yet, so Dagu simply visited the dock accompanied by a group of officials.
The shipyard also has a history of ten years. It was originally used to repair warships and merchant ships.
After several local technical support, it has gradually acquired a certain ability to manufacture sea vessels.
Because of the regional advantage, the shipyard's business is in short supply.
In the face of the strong demand for maritime trade, it is difficult to make a loss.
"This is our largest dock, which can manufacture giant cargo ships with a density of less than 10,000 meters. It is also the only giant dock at present."
The factory director's face flushed. This dock, which cost a lot of money, was just built not long ago. It is the best embodiment of his political achievements.
He also thought that with this achievement, he would be transferred back to his home country to serve.
After all, if you have made enough money, you must meet more advanced needs.
When you have no money, you lose your conscience, and when you have money, you can raise your conscience. This is probably the reason.
But Dagu looked at the keel that had just taken shape, and his face was a little ugly.
He interrupted the factory director's boasting directly and asked: "I didn't see this dock in the public information. When did you build it?"
"In the past two years... We raised funds and technology to manufacture it ourselves, and we have fully mastered intellectual property rights." The factory director felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Dagu's eyes were sharp and sharp.
He did not make a decision on his own, but looked at Governor Rogge.
Governor Rogge also knew for the first time that the shipyard had done this big thing.
He hadn't realized the problem at first, and thought it was a good thing!
But when he saw the angel's expression was wrong, he reacted immediately.
This is wrong! What do you want to do by raising funds for the Wanmi-class dock in private?
You said it was to build merchant ships, but it is also feasible to build warships!
And... it was only built in the last two years, isn't it just after I took office?
Isn't this a pitfall? If His Majesty knew about it, he would think it was my order.
The overseas governor who holds the military and political power suddenly wants to build military and national heavy weapons by himself. What is he trying to do?
He even thought more, has His Majesty known about this for a long time, and the angel deliberately came to do something of his own?
Governor Rogge became more and more afraid as he thought about it, and the more afraid he became, the angrier he became, and his face gradually became ferocious.
"Come on! Come on!! Take him down for me."
The Governor's Guards rushed over like wolves and tigers, and took down the director of the shipyard.
The latter was still confused, what was going on?
I embezzled, I accepted bribes, and I played with female subordinates.
I thought I would be arrested for these crimes, but I got away with it in the end.
Then I was arrested for working hard, being innovative and strong?
What kind of black humor is this?
He felt that he was wronged. Could it be that there were no good people in the court, and the governor and the angel were hidden villains. Seeing that I was loyal, they arrested me?
"I don't accept it, I am wronged. You persecute loyal people. Where is the Ninth Investigation Department? Where is the Eighth Investigation Department? Report to His Majesty quickly! I am a loyal minister, a great loyal minister."
The director of the shipyard kept shouting. Looking at his realistic face, he really looked like he was wronged.
The agents of the Eighth Investigation Department couldn't help but look at it a few more times and secretly wrote it down in a small notebook.
This matter actually wronged the Eighth Investigation Department. They really didn't notice the problem of the dock.
After all, the director of the shipyard upgraded the technology and worked hard to make money for the empire. What is there to check?
Not every front-line agent is a generalist, so this news was ignored.
If the other party had not taken it out to seek credit today, I'm afraid no one would have discovered it.
Governor Rogge looked grim, looked at his guards, and growled: "Shut his mouth, shut it."
The governor's guards hurriedly found a tablecloth to cover his mouth, and dragged him away with a whimper.
The shipyard director was still struggling, kicking his legs, he believed he was innocent.
Governor Rogge's face was so gloomy that water could drip out. He commanded his guards, pointed to a deputy director, and ordered: "This dock is sealed up, and it is not allowed to be used without orders.
And any future plans to expand production capacity must be submitted to the Governor's Office for approval."
The shipyard that was thought to be problem-free was the first to have problems, and all the officials in the colony felt a little uncomfortable.
The opening was not good, and who knows how many problems have not been discovered.
In recent years, the mainland's policy towards the colonies has been particularly relaxed, which is also a compromise with the harsh environment, so many local systems are in name only, and many people are used to being free and undisciplined.
However, with the development of shipping and the innovation of communication technology, the long distance has been greatly shortened, and the influence of the central empire has continued to radiate. This situation will change sooner or later.
The local powerful factions can actually accept this point, and Governor Roger is the best candidate to implement the reform.
The Angel Patrol can also be regarded as the vanguard of the central empire.
Cooperation is cooperation, but under this premise, they must strive for more benefits.
Therefore, every big bomb explodes, which weakens their voice.
In this atmosphere, without the angels taking action, the colonies began to dispatch personnel to check the shipyard from top to bottom and give an explanation to the central government.
Although the lost voice cannot be recovered, some attitude must be shown.
Of course, the central government's intention to weaken the control of the colonial armaments cannot be directly exposed to the sun.
So the factory director was arrested for embezzling 100 gold coins. After a quick trial, he was sent back to the mainland to serve imprisonment.
Everything is like a black humor. The embezzlement of 100 gold coins can make the shipyard director step down, making this black humor even funnier.
Of course, Governor Rogge was praying at this time that there was a problem with the shipyard, and the weapons factory must not have any problems again.
If there were problems at the first two stops of the angels to the New World, it would be funny.
So, the nervous Governor Rogge stepped into the weapons factory.
After hearing the news about the shipyard, they didn't dare to do anything fancy and completed the inspection in a serious manner.
Although there were some questions, such as the high scrap rate, Dagu pretended not to see it.
