Chapter 1653: A combination of kindness and power (Thanks to the leader of Dengken!)
".According to Article 9 of the Ministry of Interior's Wartime Area Special Execution Order, lord commanders and above have the highest collection authority during wartime , can temporarily collect precise tithes within two hundred years of the star area and the same geographical unit, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will exempt the precise tithes at the corresponding time, and also have independent decision-making power on the types of materials collected. ”
After hearing the answer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Soshyan continued to ask:
“Can it be levied from everyone?”
Junot Rigo hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Yes, except for special tax exemption rights, they can be levied on collectives or individuals."
Soshiyang's eyes swept over the nobles, and they all lowered their heads.
However, he did not immediately say what he was going to do, but changed the subject.
“Chief Administrative Officer Junot, tomorrow you will consult with Secretary Royce and the logistics team of the expeditionary force to calculate the exact amount of the ten-year combat readiness materials I mentioned.”< br>
“Yes.”
"As for the problem of the transport fleet."
Soshyan looked at Ernst Mare Hoyland, who was currently the only one to get the privilege of the chair because of his age.
"Can the Hoyland family provide help in this regard?"
"Report to the Lord"
Old Marley stood up from the chair tremblingly Getting up, Soshyan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This old man was so well disguised, but he didn't know what kind of blasphemous body and soul was hidden under that seemingly old skin.
He even maliciously wondered if if he used the gray marrow at this time, the old thing would be wiped out in ashes.
"Although it is currently a busy time for trade, we can still spare five hundred large transport ships for military use."
It's okay, this old man is quite sensible, he can be later God will find the judge again to greet him.
Then he looked at the beautiful Silu Clermont.
“Does the Claremont family have any spare capacity at the moment?”
"Sir, we can also draw out three hundred large transport ships here."
Soshiyang nodded. He knew that the Claremont family's strength was seriously damaged in the chaos, and three hundred large transport ships were drawn out at one time. It can be said that the boat really made a difference.
And no matter what, she is more pleasing to the eye than the old man who abuses witchcraft to extend his life.
However, it is not yet time to publicly support a certain person, but asking the other party to assist Reza in establishing stable routes and trade channels seems to be a way to benefit all three parties. Reza has always wanted to open a path to the world. Trade routes in the Whirlpool region.
“After the meeting, both of you can send representatives to contact Ms. Veronica of the expeditionary force. She is responsible for the overall coordination work.”
"Yes."
Both of them responded at the same time, but the look Syllu Clemente looked at Soshyan was somewhat meaningful.
“As for large storage facilities, I remember that Sagan Prime was originally the tithe gathering place of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has a large and solid cluster of storage facilities.”
The reason why Soshyan mentioned it This is because he already knows that the giant storage facility that originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs "legally" became the property of the hive nobles for various reasons after the Badab War. Even imperial agencies have to pay if they want to use it. Expensive rent is another reason why the Ministry of Interior Tithe Fleet has become dependent on the merchant fleet and frequent transfers from spaceports.
Usually the Ministry of Internal Affairs collects tithes in advance (although it is most likely already lagging behind), and then concentrates them in a certain area. After the statistics are completed, they are uniformly transferred to the mobilization place, which will neither delay time nor be excessive. Nervous, because by this time the next batch of advance tithes had begun to fill the warehouse. However, after losing the large-scale material storage capacity, they have to move to the next gathering place as they come. Once there is a delay, the entire tithe will lag behind. This is the crux of the problem.
"Yes, sir, this place was originally."
"That's alright. In the name of the supreme lord commander of the expeditionary force, I decided to temporarily replace Sagan Prime as a supply world and implement it. Completely militarized control.”
“Ah this——”
Junot was stunned and couldn’t say anything for a long time.
"My lord"
"Why, don't I have this power?"
Seeing Soshyan's eyes, Junnot nodded quickly.
“Yes, you have it!”
“As for the tithes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are temporarily transferred to Sagan II. There are also many storage facilities there. The Ministry of Internal Affairs can requisition them all, and the other machinery We can also build large storage facilities for you.”
Soshyan did not look at the representatives of the Mechanicus this time, because he planned to let Reza's people do it.
Those storage facilities seem to be used to store the tithes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact they are actually used to store the materials transported by Reza. After all, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Now that the matter has come to this, Junot has nothing to say and can only lower his head.
“Yes.”
Soshyan then looked at Earl Vaughn, who always had a sinking face.
"As for the Noble Council, I would like to inform you that if anyone temporarily 'borrows' the storage equipment, remember to clear it out, so as not to be confused when putting it into storage, and it will have to be confiscated."
"Yes, sir, we will hold a meeting immediately after we return and we will fully support the imperial expedition."
"Thank you."
After Soshiyang finished speaking, he paused, and then He put his hands on the table and glanced at everyone, especially the ruling families of the hive city.
“Here, I still want to emphasize that this war is of great importance, not only for the expeditionary force, but also for everyone here. Whether the Maelstrom can be long-term and stable depends entirely on this battle! I I don’t think anyone wants to live in the shadow of the Red Pirates, right? I don’t need to say more about how the tyrant of Badab acted. Maybe some people and families once supported him, but what has he gained? The desire of a person who has fallen into chaos and the realm of demons is never-ending, and he will try to slowly control everything. From today on, I can forget about everything that happened in the past, and I can also guarantee that others will not settle accounts later. As long as we can wholeheartedly support the Empire's expedition, everyone is loyal to the Empire, and there is no need to worry that I or the expeditionary force will change the future situation of the Maelstrom region. To put it bluntly, our chapter's home world is in the distant storm. Star Territory, we will leave immediately after the expedition, and the other war groups will also disperse. In the end, it is you who will protect this territory for the empire. After destroying Huron, I have completed my duty, and everyone can enjoy peace forever. Trade routes will also be uninterrupted, and the empire will have safe tithe passage, benefiting everyone.”
After Soshyan finished speaking, Earl Vaughn was silent for a moment and suddenly raised his hands.
"Resolutely support the Supreme Lord Commander Soshyan!"
Other nobles followed suit.
“Firmly support Supreme Lord Commander Soshiyang!”
Soshiyang smiled and pressed his palms.
"It doesn't have to be like this. What everyone needs to support is not me, but the Emperor and the Empire."
Thank you very much for your support, Mr. Dengken! ! !
