Chapter 669 Wartime Ratification System

Lavaz town, Djoka's cabin.

Perhaps because he was used to a simple life, or perhaps he enjoyed getting along with his neighbors, Djoka had never moved to a bigger house, although he was rich now.

However, the furniture in the house has been updated, and Djoka has dispose of the things he had never been willing to throw away before and has organized the first-floor utility room into a warm small study.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and Djoka was still reconciling accounts in the study.

Business has expanded rapidly recently, with the added insurance business, shipping business, military factories opened in the United States and factories expanded in the town, making Djoka, the honorary owner of the Bernard Group busy.

Camille came in with a cup of coffee and placed it gently on Djoka's desk.

Usually, she would walk away quietly to avoid interrupting Djoka's office, but this time, she stood by her desk for a while.

"What?" Djoka noticed something strange, stopped what was in his hand and looked up at Camille.

"Do you have time to talk?" Camill asked cautiously.

"Of course." Djoka nodded.

"I know Charles won't do this, but..." Camille stopped talking.

Djoka instantly knew what Camill was going to talk about, and he looked helpless: "Of course he wouldn't do such a thing, Camille."

"I know." Camille replied: "But you don't know how scarce the materials are now. Djoka, Uncle Anatok told me yesterday that many people can no longer afford flour, they can only use wood chips and potatoes The skins are mixed together to make bread, and there is almost no milk or other meat to see, and people can only feed on dogs and cats.”

(Note: During World War I, someone raised a cat and used it as food, because cats can catch mice and have little to feed them, and people call it "roof rabbit".)

"All this has nothing to do with Charles, nor with the Bernard Group." Djoka replied: "The supplies we ship are always sold at a fair price, but we can't control who bought them..."

Djoka also hopes to sell these materials to those who really need them, and he even refuses capitalists to acquire them at high prices.

However, capitalists hired a group of poor people to come and buy, no matter where Djokovic put the materials.

"Can't we think of a solution?" Camill's eyes were filled with anxiety: "Although I know these, these happened after Shire controlled the shipping, and people still believe it has something to do with Shire."

Djoka nodded slowly, his face heavy.

People would not listen to Djoka's explanation, they only knew that Charles controlled the shipping, and then lived day by day, and now they were even at the point where they could not survive when they were hungry.

What's worse is that winter has just passed, and they have eaten up the grain they have not had any seeds sowing.

Just when Djoka was in a dilemma, the sound of the car motor came from outside the door, from far to near, and finally the brakes were braked.

"It's Charles." Camill was surprised and happy, and turned around and ran out to greet him.

Djoka didn't rush to go out, he slowly walked towards the living room, thinking about how to solve this problem.

Soon, Charles appeared at the door. As soon as he saw Djoka's expression, he guessed a big sigh: "Are you worried about the material matter, father?"

Djoka was stunned, and his eyes looked at Charles with surprise: "Did you already know?"

"Yes." Charles nodded and glanced at the living room: "Did we buy a new sofa?"

"Yeah." Djoka sat down with Charles. He didn't want to waste too much time on the "sofa" issue and asked directly: "How do you plan to solve this problem? I mean supplies."

Camille originally wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare for food, but when he heard this topic, he sat quietly at the dining table waiting for Charles to answer.

Shire took off his general cap and put it aside, speaking with a relaxed tone: "I just need to clarify."

"I know." Djoka nodded: "People will trust you, and you can also list evidence to let people know what capitalists have done."

This matter was just a small task for Charles. He had a high reputation among the people and also controlled two media outlets, one of which was an authoritative military newspaper, and no one could block his mouth.

but……

"This still cannot solve the problem." Djoka said with dissatisfaction: "I mean, capitalists will continue to do this to oppose your control of materials, which can also be said to be a coercion."

Charles understood what Djoka meant.

What capitalists really want is an "echo detector".

Just like they told people that this happened because Charles monopolized the "echo detector".

As long as Charles sells the "echo detector" to others, such as the Toulon Shipyard and the United Kingdom, the military can produce a large number of "echo detectors" in a short time and equip it on warships.

Then the material situation will improve and people will be able to obtain large amounts of food.

It’s a pity that the capitalists were wrong, and Charles would not surrender.

This not only does not bring any obstacles to Shire, but also gives Shire an excellent opportunity.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"It's simple, father," answered Charles, "We can implement a wartime rationing system."

"Wartime Ratification System?" Djoka's eyes lit up.

Camille looked confused. She had no idea about the rationing system.

"Yes." Charles replied: "Once passed, France will purchase landing materials at a unified price in the name of the country, and then distribute them uniformly."

Before this, although Charles held the safety of the route and controlled the life and death of the materials, he still had no actual control over these materials.

Because capitalists only need to purchase Charles' insurance to transport the materials needed by France from the United States and use them to control the economy and bribe parliamentarians and politicians.

Once the wartime rationing system is implemented, all these dark hands of capitalists who operate undercover will be cut off.

"But..." Djoka still had doubts about this: "What if the capitalists joined forces with the members to embezzle materials by making fake accounts?"

Charles smiled: "You forgot that all the supplies were ashore under the protection of the French Navy, and we can count the supplies on the grounds of protecting their safety."

Djoka knew it instantly.

The French Navy could count the materials one by one, which means that he had an account in his hand.

Once a capitalist embezzled privately and did not count the materials into the treasury for unified distribution, the French Navy only needed to take out a pair of accounts and immediately revealed its true colors.

"Good way!" Djoka said with joy: "Then this rationing system..."

"I have reported to General Gallieni," said Charles. "What is needed now is the voice of the people."

As long as the public calls are loud enough, the MPs dare not violate the great deeds and forcibly disobey public opinion and fail to pass this project.
