Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 542 Delivery and Transport

Claude was really annoyed, and the family kept messing with themselves. What are they going to do back to White Deer City at this time? It is still a rubble and the day of reconstruction is far from over. Besides, the old knowledge of the original neighbors of White Deer City remained scarce after the civil war in the kingdom, when Mother Kevin returned to a strange place and couldn't take care of herself if anything happened.

Claude had to prepare the carriage and rush to the train station as soon as possible. Mothers, who somehow obtained train tickets, were ready to board a boat to the port of Cobichous and return to the mainland of the Kingdom. Even Swanson, the director of the Fields estate, was blindfolded on this trip until the mothers knew they were going to White Deer City when they had packed some bags and were ready to leave.

Claude recruited his deputy Colonel Mason Hughes: "You send someone to MI to find out who arranged this trip for my mother..."

When he arrived at the train station, Claude noticed that he seemed a little out of his mind, and Mother and Kevin didn't seem to want to run away from home, but rather go out and play. Because they were in a box instead of buying tickets to the car. There are many other people traveling, all the noble ladies who have come to Fields Manor or something. Then Claude saw old housekeeper Alec there, and his mother was telling him what to do...

Claude barely smiled and nodded to those who greeted him, then squeezed past the ladies, not knowing who had caught him on the way. This is probably the lady who saw Claude's wife, Kevin, and wanted to see if she could seduce Claude.

When she saw Claude in front of her, her face sank and her eyes glanced coldly at Claude, as if to look at the enemy: "What are you doing here? ”

“No, good. Why did you go back to the kingdom?” There were many people beside him, and Claude didn't want to look at each other coldly, so he had to give in.

“I want to go back and see your father, who hasn't swept his grave in years.” Mother said with some emotion, and then she put up her face: “Aren't you busy? Go home if you're okay..."

“I used to sweep my father's grave...” Claude said, "It's the truth. Every time he walks past White Deer City, he goes to see Mr. Morsan's grave. After all, White Deer City is intact across the cemetery:“ Then what are they doing back there, Emilisa is so big... "

Kevin turned around with her little girl and she still didn't want to talk to Claude. Her little daughter, Amelisa, was very happy, she was under four years old, very interested in the lively scene in front of her, with her big eyes all over her eyes. As for Claude's fifteen-year-old second son, Barghazi, sitting in a corner of the trunk, looking quietly down at a book in his hand, it seemed that these lively farewells beside him had nothing to do with him.

“Kaifani received a letter from her sister Catherine stating that her sister's family had returned to White Deer City and that her brother-in-law Gerard had returned to White Deer City, so Kaifani decided to take the children back for a look.” Mother explained it very rarely for Kevin, and immediately again, “Go home, it's none of your business here, don't stand in the way here. I also want to talk to them...”

In the first half of last year, Kaifani finally received a letter from her sister Catherine, whose whereabouts are unknown, stating that before the Civil War in the Kingdom, the White Deer City Storm Fleet rebelled and was headed for Prince Hansburg. Kevin's brother-in-law, Gerard, was also pinched at the time, but halfway through, he gathered his friends and former Shark Club men and took three boats back to White Deer City. Then they took their families to the stormy waters to occupy a remote island, where they lived in seclusion with half thieves and half smugglers.

Gerard had actually been to the Overseas Autonomous Territories a few times to find out about the Claudes. He just didn't want to come to Claude because the status quo of the storm fleet members who had fled to take refuge in the Overseas Autonomous Territories left him a little discouraged. Those navies who came to the Overseas Autonomous Territories to seek refuge did not want to go to the then-present Direct Territories war zone, so life was a bit difficult and they had to earn some small sums of money for alcohol and drink while transporting goods in the coastal waters of the Direct Territories.

Later, the civil war in the Kingdom subsided, and the remnants of the storm fleet, who had stayed overseas and sought refuge, were ready to return home, calling Gerard, who had earned his living in the storm waters, too. Only unexpectedly, Sterling XI did not reuse them, but instead sent them to serve as patrol sub-fleets of coastal waters to guard the security of the Ibnister Plains.

It was a difficult time, with few and often late payments, and Gerard sometimes wanted to go back to storm waters to do his own smuggling business. But Frederick I came to power and began to value the navy again, only then did the kingdom have no money or the ability to build another fearless fleet. This was followed by a debt war, followed by the invasion of the kingdom itself and the occupation of most of the kingdom by coalition forces.

Gerard's royal cruise sub-fleet of more than a dozen light warships, which were naval forces, could not disembark and the Allied armies were destined to fight guerrillas at sea, to attack seaports occupied by the Allied armies, or to intercept and rob the Allied armies of vessels carrying supplies, did much in this war. Now that the treasury is rich, some money has been allocated to the Royal Ministry of the Navy, and naval officers like Gerard have been promoted and reused.

The day before yesterday, Catherine sent another letter to her sister, but Claude and Kevin were in the Cold War and did not know the contents of the letter. It's only when Mother tells me that it's love that Gerard got promoted back to White Deer City, that Catherine wrote to Kaifani and sent her sister to White Deer City for a sister reunion, and that's why Kaifani took both Bayergasi and Emilisa away...

Claude also wanted to persuade his mother and Caffrey to wait a while before returning them to the kingdom after they were busy. But the mother could not care less about him. She suspected that he was in the way and only talked to the noble ladies who sent him. And Kevin ignored him, and there were people in the trunk. Claude had to get out of the car and give his place to the ladies who came to deliver him, and the voices of false praise and compliment from those women were echoed in the car.

“My lord...” Old housekeeper Alec appeared next to Claude.

Claude nodded, “Are you all right, Alec? What did my mother ask you to do? ”

“I'm fine, my lord.” Old housekeeper Alec offered Claude a gift: “The old lady and Lady Caffrey asked me to come over this time to live in White Deer City for a while, so let me put the monthly earnings dividends of the tobacco factory in the Overseas Minsheng Bank and send them bills every six months..."

Claude recovered shares in all of the industries she was involved in in overseas self-government when she last counted the family properties, leaving her only 30 percent of the share proceeds from the family tobacco factory as her daily fee. This portion of the proceeds is not a small amount, and the business is good enough to have a monthly dividend of more than 10,000 gold kroner.

Unexpectedly, when she and her mother were returning to the mainland of the kingdom, they thought about the proceeds, and deliberately went to the old housekeeper, Arik, to ask him to deposit all the dividends in the bank, and send her a bank transfer every six months...

Claude came to the station and tried to persuade Mother and Kevin not to mess around and prepare to take them all home. But who would have guessed it before realizing that there were so many noble ladies to send to Mother and Caffrey. If this is going to be a joke here at the station, it's just that he can't squeeze into the trunk anymore to persuade his mothers...

The train sounded the whistle, which means it's going to be driving soon. The noble ladies in the trunk also started to get out and say goodbye to their mother, Kevin, and Claude was trying to get in the trunk again, but old housekeeper Alec called them in: "My lord, let them go. I know everything about the estate. You did the right thing. Old ladies and Lady Caffrey, if they don't want to have a tantrum for a while, just let them go back to the mainland and relax.

You don't have to worry about safety. I asked Sergeant Kester to take the seven gunmen he hired to keep them safe. These seven gunmen are veterans, tobacco factory guards, knowledgeable, loyal and reliable. With them around, Second Young Master and Little Miss, and Madam, their safety is absolutely fine. And Swanson brought several servants with him this time, and with him, nothing will happen... "

Claude stopped, thinking that old housekeeper Alec was right, because he threw his eldest son, Tess Aurey, into the barracks and forced him to join the army, and his mother and wife, Kevin, looked at themselves as if they were enemies of life and death. Even if they were forced to stay at the Fields, it would be boring and the relationship would not improve. Let them return to the kingdom and relax, as old housekeeper Alec put it.

As the train began to move slowly forward on the railroad tracks, sending others to wave their greetings towards the carriage, Claude had said goodbye to old housekeeper Alec, boarded the carriage and drove to the military headquarters. When he got to the place and went into the office, Claude received a message from the Military Intelligence Department, and their mother's journey was clear on that information.

There's a member of the Autonomous Council named Braes. Bellister, from pastoralism and leather processing. Prepared to invest in ocean shipping, funded in partnership with friends to set up an ocean trading firm, also traveling the route from Port Cobichous to Bai Lu City. Except that the four ocean freighters and one ocean luxury passenger ship customized by their ocean trading firm are all Ironclad ships, which is the only one in the Overseas Autonomous Territories, and the previous period of groundwater caused civil unrest...

All five Ironclad ships are now ready to embark on their first voyage to the mainland of the Kingdom. And Braes. Congressman Bellister also invited family and friends to enjoy a virgin voyage on that luxury ocean cruise called the Martha Ironclad, while also preparing to take their wives and children on a tour of the King.

Mrs. Braes is a frequent visitor to the Fields estate and is said to have a good relationship with Claude's mother, who often drinks afternoon tea together. So, to take a luxury ocean cruise to the mainland of the kingdom and visit Wangdu, she showed off and earned her face. As Lady Caffrey found out about it, she asked her mother to ask Lady Braes if she could buy a couple of boat tickets for the family to go back to White Deer City to see the estate...

When Braes... Congressman Bellister overjoyed when he heard from his wife that Marshal Claude's mother and wife, Mrs. Keffany, were also returning to the mainland of the kingdom on their own ocean luxury passenger. Shooting them in the chest immediately means leaving them with the best first-class cabin, while also paying for a luxury compartment of the train that the railway company is travelling on today, and letting their wife accompany Marshal Claude's mother, wife and children on a boat to Port Cobi Chus.

It's because of Braes. Congressman Bellister's hospitality was such that both Superintendent Swanson and his servants were unaware that Mother and Kevin had arranged a return trip to White Deer City that they did not realise until nearing departure that they were rushing to send a message to Claude. And even when Claude arrived at the station, it was a boat, and unless they were forcibly taken off the train by flipping their faces, they could not be stopped from returning to White Deer City...

After reading this information, Claude was speechless. He understands, the Braes. Congressman Bailey Willister was so kind to his mother and wife just to climb into a relationship with himself. Unfortunately, he was kissing his ass on his leg, not knowing his relationship with his mother, and Kevin was in a very bad situation. In the unlikely event that Tess O'Reilly had anything in the barracks, Mother and Kevin would have had to eat themselves raw...

Forget it, it's going to rain, they're going back, it's impossible to stop. Old housekeeper Alec was right. It would be nice to keep them apart for a while and have a good time. I hope they wake up. As for security, don't worry about it, Swanson is with them and there's nothing else we can do to help them. Besides, old housekeeper Alec also arranged for Sergeant Kester to escort seven gunmen around them, generally without any danger.

Besides, that Braes. The five Ironclad ships of Senator Bellister did not travel alone, but travelled to the mainland of the Kingdom with the cruise ship of the Overseas Autonomous Territories. Not only were there nearly a hundred sailboats escorted, but now, of course, the sailboat was used as a transport vessel, and 200,000 new rifles and 10 million rounds of ammunition had to be delivered to the Royal Army Department. There is also an Ironclad Squadron escort, and this sea lane is already very familiar, there is nothing wrong with the journey for the last half month at sea...

Claude rubbed his eyebrows. Forget it. That's it. Picking up a new hawk message on the desk, it was sent again by Colonel Boquer, stating that smuggling off the coast was virtually extinct due to the ban imposed by the eight West Coast colonies on overseas autonomous territories, coupled with increasingly harsh patrols of the colonial waters of various countries. In other words, commodities from overseas autonomous territories could no longer be transported to colonies by smuggling vessels.

Since the ban had been in effect for six months in the colonies of the countries of the West Coast, no goods from the overseas autonomous territories could be found on the market of the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik other than those originating from the Kingdom of Morosik. The high quality of commodity prices from the Kingdom of Morosic had caused great dissatisfaction among the population of the colony, with many transactional disputes and even several riots that had been suppressed.

Colonel Boquer said the situation was good, and the Pamigals were recruiting and assembling in secret. But because of the scarcity and high prices of some of the goods on the market, that hybrid Baron Tez Singh... Nora Taganem was unable to collect the armaments needed for 20,000 youth training. Therefore, Colonel Boquer hopes that the Autonomous Territory will organize a convoy to deliver a shipment of armaments along the land corridor they have opened, so that the 10,000 young men who have assembled will not be able to sustain themselves due to a lack of supplies...

Headaches, accidents always happen like this. As originally planned, the Autonomous Territory would need only to arm and equip the Pamigal People's National Liberation Front, formed by the mixed baron, and recruit a group of volunteers to help them launch an armed uprising. Grassroots officers were dispatched to assist the armed division formed by the Pamigals with military training, while the Pamigals prepared their own supplies for grain and armaments.

It was unexpected that the Pamigals were unable to raise even arms and needed support from the overseas autonomous territories. Claude thought about it and had to plan for the next step. He pulled the summons bell, Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes came in. Claude ordered him to go to the Autonomous Council, Andros. Congressman Ro Joyce came to the military headquarters to discuss important matters.

Endocross. Councillor Lee Joyce, the one who had heard the imposition of a restraining order by the eight West Coast colonies calling for an autonomous military region to declare war, had added a line to his name because of his promotion to the heirloom baron of the Kingdom, which had been sealed by His Majesty the King. His family operated 17 daily goods workshops in the Overseas Autonomous Territories, and the ban on commerce in the eight West Coast colonies had a very strong impact on their families.

Endocross. Councilman Lee Joyce arrived at Claude's office an hour later, and he had some confusion as to what Claude, the famous self-governing man, was looking for. Though they met, they nodded and were not close, and for him, Claude was the man he looked up to.

“I hope that everything you hear here today is in your heart and that it leaks its consequences to you.” Claude said that first and then stopped Endocross. Councilman Joyce wanted to talk, then came to the map and briefly introduced the wildfire plan, which told him:

“We now have in our hands a secret land passage to the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik, which we can hand over to you as your smuggler, but you will be responsible for helping us deliver a shipment of armaments. We are not incapable of organizing an army to deliver this shipment, but we must be careful not to leave the handle behind.

If you are a smuggling merchant group organized by your private sector, it is also not relevant to our autonomous military region, but if we organize our forces to deliver goods, it is easy to be found to involve the entire overseas autonomous territory in this imminent armed uprising on the West Coast. So we must be cautious in our military districts... ”

“Stop it, Marshal, I'll do it! Let me take charge of all this..." Andros. Congressman Lee Joyce has been unable to contain the excitement and surprise in his heart, standing up and clapping his chest to assure him.
