Chapter 1573: Chapter 59: Another Poor Guy is Born_3
The supply of at is insufficient, relying solely on coarse grains to fill their stomachs, the soldiers are all like Big Stomach Kings.
Not providing isn’t an option; the soldiers expend a lot due to daily high-intensity training.
Ever since the Kingdom Governnt decided to provide logistics support, Noble Lords across the regions stopped being miserly, and issued orders allowing soldiers to eat to their heart’s content.
For a while, the Black Forest Kingdom spent money like flowing water, and the stock of grain in warehouses diminished at a visibly rapid rate.
If everyone was enduring hardship together, it could be overlooked, but there’s a clear disparity in the treatnt of different troops.
The highest logistic supply standards are for the reinforcents from the Alpha Kingdom, directly providing supplies according to the Alpha Kingdom’s logistic standards.
They are here to help as a Guest Army, and their treatnt can’t be compromised. If logistics fall short, these guys will start self-sufficiently.
On the Continent of Aslante, this “tradition” exists, where cases of Guest Army plundering are endless.
Compared to the destructive power brought by unrestricted actions, proactively providing logistical support is clearly less costly.
Even if at supply in the Royal Palace is insufficient, ensuring the Guest Army can eat well must be prioritized, lest the Guest Army wreak havoc everywhere.
Next, the Kingdom’s main forces, positioned in the second tier for logistical support. Though at supply is unguaranteed, grain supply remains adequate.
The truly miserable ones are the newly mobilized recruits. After basic training, they are sent to the battlefield, often facing chaos in supply logistics.
The troops that haven’t received tily supplies aren’t just sitting to starve; they proactively “borrow grain” from Noble Lords along the way.
For a ti, there was constant impeachnt, complaint docunts piled up on Alexander V’s desk, causing him imnse ntal stress.
As ti progressed, the group of victims also expanded. Initially, only freen and minor Nobles were unlucky, but later even the Royal Family beca victims.
Constant troop deploynts, combined with chaotic command modes, made the Black Forest Kingdom internally lively.
Alexander V didn’t try to change things, but with denunciation docunts piling up, they had no effect at all.
Today this troop stationed here, tomorrow another one might switch in. At tis, things got mixed up, and even the denunciation docunts were sent to the wrong place.
“Your Majesty, here is last month’s military expenditure, totaling 9,867,800 Gold Coins when converted.
The forecast for this month’s military expenditure will continue to hit new highs, potentially increasing by fifteen percent over last month.
…”
Count Baxter, the Minister of Finance, finished reporting the numbers, and the hall instantaneously quieted down.
Clearly, it was just a slightly larger-scale local war, but it forced expenditure like a full-scale war.
The war’s Gold-eating Beast never spares wealth when consud.
The fiscal issues faced by the Alpha Kingdom and the Moxi Duchy have finally co to the Black Forest Kingdom.
Compared to these two allies, the situation for the Black Forest Kingdom was actually worse. At least those countries were able to borrow foreign debts at the ti; now it’s difficult even to find loans.
The whole Continent is in chaos, including the South Continent, and the financiers there aren’t having easy days either.
“Chancellor, how does the governnt plan to resolve the fiscal deficit issue?”
Alexander V asked with concern.
The unsolved military issues were quickly followed by fiscal ones, creating a condition that’s utterly unlivable.
“Your Majesty, the fiscal crisis is secondary; the most troubleso issue is the excessive consumption of strategic material.
The new army’s combat strength is indeed superior to previous forces, but their consumption of supplies has increased proportionally.
Compared to lacking funds, the bigger problem is having money but being unable to buy materials.
The prices of strategic materials on the international market have already tripled, and supply is still unable to et demand.
The best current strategy is to first end a front line; otherwise, fighting all over isn’t sothing the Kingdom can afford!”
