Chapter 1984 Roots of Fester
Soshiyan is not ignorant about the huge corruption problem in the logistics system of the expeditionary force. In fact, Veronica has reminded him long ago that the logistics of the expeditionary force From the second year after the system started operating, the efficiency dropped rapidly, but the number of people increased.
At first, Soshyan chose to set up a separate logistics system independent of the Ministry of Military Affairs just to improve efficiency. But now this machine is corrupting incredibly fast, but even so, it is still better than that of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The system needs to be fast, which shows how deep the insensitivity and corruption is in other institutions.
So Soshiyang was actually mentally prepared for everything, so he seemed so calm.
In fact, he also knew the cause of the problem clearly.
There is no supervision.
In order to ensure control over this logistics system, Soshyan deliberately made it independent of the Ministry of Justice and even the supervision of the Inquisition. The Inquisition was too lazy to dictate the logistics of the expeditionary force. They were busy investigating more Serious heretical crimes and incidents, but Soshyan did not arrange a formal regulatory agency. After all, he envisaged that the war would be over in three to five years, and the system would be disbanded by then, so there was no need to do anything extra.
However, it was this negligence that laid the root of the disaster. A system that had no supervision and relied solely on self-management, and could handle so many resources at the same time, was corrupting faster than a space engine. And the interstellar space on the front line Warrior commanders generally only pursue results without asking about the process, which also gives corrupt elements many opportunities to take advantage of them.
But Soshyan can't send Space Marines to supervise them. There is a shortage of people on the battlefield now, but simply arrange a supervision agency. Will this agency also quickly become corrupted?
Will another supervisory agency be arranged at that time?
Once this chain of trust breaks down, there is no end to doubt and layer upon layer of organizational structures.
Now that I think about it, perhaps the only way is to bring in the external force of the Ministry of Justice, but after all, the power of the Ministry of Justice is mainly used to maintain the order of the hive. For a corrupt giant that has taken shape, what power can they draw out? I'm afraid it won't help -
So, the best solution is to end the expedition as soon as possible. Once the organization is disbanded, everything will be fine.
In other words, if there is any problem, it will not be his responsibility.
Although this mentality is a bit escaping, it is also Soshyan's last resort. Can he burn down all the layers of corrupt organizations? How will the frontline logistics be maintained after it is burned?
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt bored with this expedition.
If he was just a frontline commander, he wouldn't need to know about these nonsense, let alone make a bunch of decisions that are against his will and self-doubt.
“Everyone.”
When Soshyan turned around, there was no expression on his face.
“I will not pursue the old accounts in the past, but the attitude must be shown. At least let the people know that justice and justice still exist in the empire. Marshal Rory Figueiredo, please trouble the Ministry of Justice. Catch a group of people and kill a group of people in various places. It is best to conduct public trials and executions so that the people can see that all departments must assist the Ministry of Justice in law enforcement and use actions to show the determination of the empire and the people. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement as if they were being forgiven.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We will definitely assist the Legal Department! Self-examination!"
"Commander in Chief——"
Lori Figueiredo was about to say something, but after seeing Soshiyan's eyes, he stopped talking, leaving only a helpless response.
"Yes."
"But you guys, there is no need to settle old scores, the problem must be solved."
Bornhard Morales stood up after hesitating for a moment.
"Commander-in-Chief, in terms of logistics, we can reduce some non-essential personnel and reduce the salaries of some staff."
Soshiyang nodded slightly and said nothing.
Then he looked at the Hongshang representative.
“I have already talked with the Hoyland family and the Claremont family, and they all agree to formulate a maximum price policy. I think there will be no problem with the Casgo Trade Association. "Hearing that Soshyan had already taken care of the two strongest merchant families, the representative of the Kasgo Trade Association nodded after hesitating for a moment.
“We support your decision.”
Soshiyan turned around and took two steps back and forth.
"However, the core problem is that the disasters in various places have not been solved. How can the food crisis be quickly alleviated?"
No one dared to say anything now.
Soshyan then looked at Saint Dalton.
"The Patriarch has not spoken. Do you have any suggestions or ideas?"
Stop holding the rosary in his hand, Saint Dalton opened his slightly cloudy eyes. Then he said in a long and chanting tone:
"Faith is armor and will is a sharp blade. As long as there is hatred for heretics and mere hunger is not enough, those people are noisy. In the end, it is just a lack of faith. More sermons and preaching should be done to fill their empty spirits. Naturally, their bodies will not There will be problems."
Soshiyang took a deep breath. Although he knew that the old guy couldn't say anything, these words still made him very angry.
But others took it for granted, and no one showed anger or surprise, including the marshal of the Ministry of Justice.
“.For example, at this time, a devout order was praying for the expedition and the Emperor in the cathedral. They did not eat for seven days and seven nights, but did not waver at all. This is an example of faith. "
At this time, Soshiyang already had the urge to hang this old thing on the eagle emblem and dry it for seven days and seven nights, but he just thought about it.
He had had a private chat with Velez before, and the nun gave him a good idea.
“What Patriarch St. Dolton said is that faith is our best armor.”
Soshiyan suddenly interrupted the other party’s ramblings.
"When I said this, I remembered something. When the troops were advancing in Badab, they found something that looked like a reliquary."
When I heard this, Santo Dun's eyes almost gleamed, and he quickly took two steps forward.
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure about this. You know, there are soldiers on the front line. They don't know much about this. There seems to be a battle flag with a sky blue unicorn on it."
"Ah! It's the battle flag of Saint Daisy!"
". There is also a yellow begging bowl with a chip, and a wine glass with a sea snake entwined on the cup."
"This, this, this——"
St. Dalton seemed very excited, and his excitement was justified.
In the past, as the center of the Maelstrom area, the Badab sector naturally had a large number of state churches and even a pilgrimage site where a large number of saints and their relics were buried. However, after the outbreak of the Badab War, Due to the bombing and destruction carried out by both sides regardless of casualties, the state religious facilities in the Badab sector were almost completely destroyed, and a large number of saints' bones and relics were also lost.
