The top can not care, but it does not mean that the people below do not care. Argent is a member of the elite class, and even if he offends people, everyone can't help him.

The people below are not good, don't think that the people who receive money and take benefits are the high-level, in fact, most of the gray transactions are completed by the people below.

As the Minister of Logistics, Argent was not so cheap as to go for the freight of a few wagons of freight to go out in person.

Anyway, the younger brother received the benefits, and the boss was indispensable. Transactions can continue because everyone is in the same boat.

……

Brittany Maclin's mentality has been a bit of a collapse lately, and a truckload of goods destined for Moscow has been unloaded in Samara.

Well, he admits that it is really important to transport military supplies to the front line, and this railway has been requisitioned by the military early, but no matter what you do, you can't stop everyone from making money, right?

Know that time is money and money is life. While the commerce of the Russian Empire was largely behind the scenes, Brittany had no shortage of back-of-the-scenes.

However, in business, now that the goods have been unloaded, if there is no new train wagon to transport it, and the final delivery cannot be made on time, it will also have to pay liquidated damages.

"Director Ixire, I need a reasonable explanation, why did I unload my goods?

Do you know how much we lose for every day of delay?

Who will bear this loss?

Don't forget, you've already received the money. Now suddenly defaulting, is this thinking that I Brittany is a bully?

Or do you think that the Marquis of Cristanval has retired, and now that people are gone, you can fiddle with it? ”

Looking at the angry Brittany, Director Ixiel was also helpless.

He didn't want to break the contract suddenly, but there was no way, he had a death order from above, and he had to ensure the supply of materials on the front line, and if he couldn't complete the task, he would not only lose his official position, but also lose his head.

"I am very sorry, Mr. Brittany. A death order was given from above to ensure that the supplies from the front line were delivered to the front line on time, and now all the vehicles have been sent over.

Your goods, wait for half a month! When the time comes, I will definitely give you priority in arranging train wagons. ”

This explanation is obviously not satisfactory to Brittany, and the penalty for late arrival is justified.

Although Samara is a major transportation route, it does not mean that there are enough storage warehouses in the local area, let alone that all materials can be stored.

Stacked in the open air for half a month, if God doesn't give face, this batch of agricultural products can be used as fertilizer.

Even if the weather is good every day, half a month is enough for potatoes and corn to sprout, and then they can only be sold to low-level workers.

"Director Ixire, are you kidding? You don't know what this batch is. If I can wait for half a month, why should I come to you?

Anyway, you can do it, if you think Marquis Cristanval is a bully, just let it go! ”

Brittany does not want an explanation, but a problem. He knows very well what the Russian bureaucracy is, and if he wants to do something, he must either throw money at it or put pressure on him from the background.

The money has already been smashed, and Brittany is not wronged, and it will not repeatedly pay to break the rules, so it can only move out of the background to exert pressure.

Ixire's face changed drastically, even knowing that Brittany was just pulling the banner of Tiger Pila, the chances of the Marquis of Cristanval being involved in such a thing at this moment were very low.

But if you don't mix now, it doesn't mean that you won't retaliate in the future, after all, you've moved other people's money bags.

It is true that the Marquis Cristanval has retired, but after all, he is a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his network in the government should not be underestimated.

Maybe the high-level can withstand it, but Ixiel, a small director, can't stand the toss.

"Monsieur Brittany, let me tell you the truth, no one can come forward in this matter.

Admiral Oginets warned the Logistics Department that if the logistics could not be guaranteed to arrive on time, he would accuse His Majesty the Tsar of the misappropriation of military columns.

Once the matter is revealed, we in the logistics department, including you merchants, and even the Marquis of Cristanval, will not be able to escape.

Money or life is important, you have to weigh it yourself! For the sake of the Marquis de Cristanval, we can refund the freight.

But you get this money back, and everyone will go their separate ways in the future, and the logistics department will never cooperate with you again. ”

When the showdown came, it was Brittany's turn to have a headache. Now the problem is not that Ixir does not accept money, but that he does not dare to do things.

With Brittany's knowledge of the vampire of Ixhir, money was his life. As long as you have enough money, you can do anything.

originally thought that he just wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price and take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, but he didn't expect that the problem had already involved a high-level struggle.

If you really want the money back, the two sides will tear their faces. Civil discord and official fighting are applicable everywhere, even if there is a backer behind it, Brittany is still cowardly.

After hesitating for a moment, Brittany said slowly, "Mr. Ixhir, can't you think of a way?" To ensure the transportation of materials on the front line, these trains are not bad.

If you are in a hurry, you can recruit more people, use more animal power, and you can always get it done.

You must know that this batch of goods really can't afford to delay. I'll tell you the truth, the agricultural products are only on the surface, and there is still a part of the ...... in them."

The higher the value of the commodity, the more troublesome things become, and Ixir also has a headache. If it is only agricultural products, even if some of them are damaged, the damage is very limited.

However, there is also a batch of special "medicines" in it, and the situation is different. This kind of business is obviously not something that Brittany can do by itself, and there must be a bunch of big people waiting to share the spoils.

If these people's financial routes are cut off, there will definitely be revenge afterwards, and Ixir as the party concerned is likely to become a punching bag.

After hesitating for a moment, Ixir frowned and said, "Alright, Brittany." You don't have to think about the military columns.

Now the military is staring at it, if something happens in the middle, we will all be finished, including the people behind you.

If you're really in a hurry, I can transfer some of the people and carriages to you, and you can take care of the rest.

By the way, not long ago we imported a batch of large trucks from Austria, if you want, you can lend it to you.

However, these costs must be calculated separately, who let you not inform in advance, the shipping costs of special drugs and agricultural products are not the same. ”

After knowing that this was the bottom line, Brittany did not continue to hope for the military columns, and he didn't want to mix in the fight between the logistics department and the military, and if he was not careful, it would really be shattered.

"Yes, but you have to help coordinate the localities and get them to help fix the roads, or the trucks won't be able to run."

Ixhir nodded: "Don't worry, the road has already been repaired." As long as you don't take the trail, most sections of the road are passable by cars. ”

Most of the road is passable, which means that some sections are impassable. But this is not a concern for Ixiel, and it is worth a section to be able to carry a section.

If the car can't pass, get on the carriage, and if the carriage can't go, then go to manpower, anyway, that's how the logistics system of the Russian Empire was formed.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the top brass of the tsarist government accidentally discovered the military value of the truck during their inspection in Austria, the logistics department would not have purchased it at all.

It's not that these trucks are not good to use, the main thing is that they are not suitable for the Russian Empire.

Not to mention the traffic garbage, what is more troublesome is the difficulty of maintenance in the later stage, not to mention the import of spare parts, and even the workers who repair the car have to be hired externally.

If all of this can be overcome, then the harsh winter is deadly.

When it is a few degrees below zero, more than ten degrees, the engine can barely ignite the fire when heated from the outside; When it is minus thirty or forty degrees, it must be kept warm when parked, otherwise there is a certain chance that the engine will be scrapped.

In terms of this performance, it is still a frost-resistant car specially produced in Austria for Russians, and if an ordinary truck encounters a Russian winter, it will stop cooking.
