Chapter 494: Security Issues of Overseas Assets

In the conference room of the Lord House of Huxin Town, senior officials of the government officer and the army gathered here.

The atmosphere in the conference room was quite dull, and everyone was thinking about the war of Jiaowan.

Old Ford closed his eyes and tapped the desktop gently on the table on his right hand. Cecil and Hanser stared at the tea cup in front of him straight.

Schroder touched the cigarettes, staring at the rising cigarettes after one after another, and Bryce's brows twisted into a ball, but they couldn't open their mouths.

， Is worried, and it is estimated that they are worried about the future of my hometown.

Paul glanced at his left and glanced at his right,

"Everyone, can't you sit so well? Do you have any good countermeasures to avoid risks?"

Undoubtedly, the outbreak of the war will threaten the business of Northwest Bay.

Countermeasure? Hearing Paul's words, Hanser was a little speechless.

In fact, because the Kok Bay is an important position of the Eastern and Western Trade Transfer Station, the Intelligence Department has always paid much attention to it.

In the tension of Jiaowan, every official in Huxin Town is very clear that the number of weapons purchased from the Kokwan Alliance can be seen one or two.

Whether the river is cold or warm, it must be the earliest known duck that swim on it every day.

As early as half a year ago, the Northwest Gulf merchants who had important business in Kokwan had jointly named the Lord's Mansion and asked the lord to buy or rent a small place in the corner Bay. The place of land continues to maintain the function of supply points to the Oriental route.

But the Earl was rejected on the grounds of spending too much money.

Three months ago, the government officer once again took out the joint letter of the businessman to discuss it. Everyone agreed that it was not time to distress the money. The chemical plant stopped first. Do n’t repair the reservoir and the school. Land, it's best to be an island.

Earl Graman is very unhappy. No one wants to talk about misappropriation of funds from several established projects.

Now, the other side of Jiaowan is finally about to fight, and the counts began to consult everyone.

But everyone doesn't say about buying land.

"Cough!"

Ford thinks that everyone continues to be silent will make Paul embarrassed, so she broke the silence and said:

"Our business activities are mainly concentrated in the coastal area, and the power of the Jiaowan Church can be hit along the coast, so there is still a buffer time. But now there is one thing that coins and people can easily withdraw, but in the past Some of the real estate there -including private enterprises and government offices -it is difficult to take away, and after the outbreak of the war, there will be some criminals to touch the fish in the chaotic situation, so ... "

He frowned slightly, as if glanced at the chief of staff Schroder inadvertently.

"It is best for us to have an armed force that can deter those who are mixed."

"Ah?" Schroe, who was heard by the director of the government officer when he mentioned armed forces, was stunned.

To be honest, Schroder thought that as the chief of staff, he came here today to listen, because the Horn Bay thousands of miles away, can be used to call the Alda army who can only be dominated by the Northwest Bay to the Northwest Bay. What about the relationship?

The military forces that Alida can now send to Kokwan is only the navy, but those inland countries have not even panels. What do warships do in the past? Do you stare?

"This is indeed a problem, Schroder!"

Paul looked at him, "Can we send a army to Kaitan? For example, ... a camp?"

"Cough! Lord Graman."

Schroder put his beloved pipe on the table, and then stood up and said.

"Sorry, our troops still have no such ability."

He first poured a pot of cold water for Paul, and then enrolled one by one at the beginning.

"First of all, it is easy to send one or two of the staff in the past, but our army relies on our unique equipment such as gunpowder, firearms, and artillery. These things can only be produced in Northwest Gulf. They are consumables and they are consumables. , Available in Kok Bay, which is thousands of miles away, is very problematic. "

"Secondly, assuming that our army has a strong enough capacity to transport these things to Kokwan in time, but we still lack one in Kok Bay ... It should be said that a series of stable bases cannot store, transfer, and distribute our supply. "

"Finally, we are not familiar with the climate and environment there. Our soldiers are born in Northwest Bay. Most people have not been out of our hometown so far. The problem that does not accept "

"Line!"

Schroder worsened his tone, and after looking around everyone, he solemnly said: "Don't underestimate this last reason. If the soil and soil may not be convinced, it may be a life -threatening, and there may be terrible infections. Some diseases may be very mild for local symptoms. , But the foreigner is the dead god sickle, which is something more terrible than the tangible enemy. "

The look of memories appeared in his eyes.

"Thirty years ago, I just went to the Overwatch Corps to serve. The Neroden Corridor, where the Overwatch Corps and the Northwest Bay, which belonged to the north of the kingdom, but when I first arrived there, I pulled my belly for a full week. Still a strong man. "" "" "" "" "" "" ""

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"In summary ..."

Schroeder looked at Paul and concluded, "I strongly oppose sending troops to Horn Bay now. This is sending soldiers to die."

"But..." He changed the subject, "If the lord is interested, we can start preparing now, send intelligence personnel to map the terrain there, collect information on various vegetation and animals, send doctors to understand the disease information and various herbal medicine information there, and..."

"Send envoys to negotiate with the rulers there to see if we can get a piece of land as a place to stay."

"If we do these things now, then I estimate that in half a year we will have the initial ability to send forces to Horn Bay."

Paul did not speak, and the conference room fell into silence.

"Uh..."

At this time, Hansel stood up weakly and said carefully: "Lord Graman, if an Aldo army appears in a war that the kingdom does not participate in, His Majesty the King will feel embarrassed."

"Okay!"

Paul had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"You all have a point. We can't let our men die, nor can we make His Majesty the King feel embarrassed."

"Lord Graman!"

Schroeder spoke again.

As the chief of staff, the most important person who advises Paul on military matters, he actively uses his brain to come up with solutions as much as possible.

"If it's just to deter criminals, why don't you try mercenaries?"
