"Excuse me, Ms. Vicky Vale."
Facing Mikayla, Vicki Weir introduced herself politely as usual before asking questions:
"Hello, Lady Michaela, I am Vicki Vale, a reporter from Stormwind City's Good Morning Alliance. I have a few simple questions to ask you."
Michaela stretched out her hand and said, "Please speak."
I saw Vicki Weir looking at the notes he had opened in his hand, and said loudly: "According to the information I received from my investigation, among the military supplies transported from Stormwind City to Silithus, there was a batch of about 100,000 long swords."
Stormwind City, long sword?
Michaela glanced at Halver, who had retreated to the corner, "You are in charge of the alliance's supplies, don't cheat me!"
The next second, Michaela replied: "Well, yes, we do have this batch of military supplies. What's wrong?"
Vicki Weir said: "So, Sir Michaela, please use your past experience to guess how much the military-standard long sword should cost?"
What?
How much does a military-style long sword cost?
What a demanding question!
Michaela, who has rich military experience, spoke up: "The cost of a standard long sword is usually between 90 silver and 1 gold coin, and the maximum cannot exceed 1 gold coin."
"Well, very good, Mikaela-sama, your answer is very beautiful."
After confirming Michaela's answer, Vicki Weir suddenly changed his subject: "But when I was investigating the accounts of those long swords, I calculated the price of each long sword based on the amount on the invoice to be 1 gold coin and 5 silver coins. , obviously exceeding the actual cost. Is the allocation of military supplies a commercial transaction with a 5% profit?"
"Eh!"
As soon as these words came out, Mikaila was stunned on the spot. She immediately glanced at Halver aside, and sure enough she saw this guy looking at the ceiling...
Damn it, Halford, what did you do?
"Did you not understand?"
Torina jumped out and explained: "In Azeroth, the ratio between currencies is based on the decimal system. 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, so 5 silver coins are 5% of 1 gold coin. How about it, do you see it?"
Torina concluded: "The high invoice is 5 points, very classic."
Before this was over, Vicky Weir began to speak again: "Actually, it's not just a matter of the long sword. I also found that there was a lot of ale in the supplies arriving in Silithus. Do military supplies include alcoholic beverages?"
Wheat, ale?
Upon hearing this, Mikaela immediately glanced at the dwarf Marshal Brewer who was standing next to Halfer.
Ale is your dwarves' favorite, so don't cheat me!
Immediately, Michaela spoke up and smoothed things over: "Ms. Vicki Vale, ale is the favorite of dwarves. They can't even fight without ale, so I think there is no problem with this batch of ale being used as military supplies for the dwarves."
"Yes, Mikaela-sama, I think so too."
Vicki Weir still agreed with Michaela's words at first, and then changed the subject: "But I found 10 barrels of very special high-grade ale in this batch of ale, which is made from high-quality malt grown on the Hillsbrad hills. The brand name of the famous wine is 'Hillsbrad Farm', and the price on the market is 10 gold a bottle."
Haha, 10 barrels of famous wine with a market price of 10 gold a bottle were purchased in the name of military supplies...
Protruding!
Michaela couldn't help but turn her head to look at Dwarf Marshal Brewer. The latter had indeed joined the ceiling-gazing club like Halver.
I didn’t expect you, a dwarf with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be up to something!
Think this is the end?
"Also, I found some interesting things here."
Vicki Weir spoke again, but Michaela chose to shut up and not answer.
Vicky Vale turned the notebook in her hand to the next page and said, "According to my investigation, the senior commander of the Cenarion Circle, Marlis..."
Don't wait Vicki-Vie
After I finished speaking, Michaela couldn't help but turn her eyes to look for the night elf. As a result, the night elf was already standing next to Halver and Brewer, looking up at the ceiling together.
Damn it, I didn’t expect you to have a problem!
Vicki Vale had already spoken: "When Marlys was allocating supplies for the Cenarion Council, he made a strange expenditure of 10,000 gold coins. According to the accounts I investigated, he cashed it out at the Gadgetzan Goblin Bank. This money, but do I need to withdraw gold coins for the allocation of military supplies?"
After saying that, Vicky Weir looked at Michaela on the podium, hoping to see embarrassment, fear, panic and confusion on the latter's face, and even confusion and nonsense.
"However, Mikaela's face is still full of calm."
Torina jumped out to increase her presence: "It should be said that Guliantesha's informant played a very important role last night. Michaela visited the top leaders of the coalition overnight, and even asked the succubus Melina to assist in the questioning. Finally, I found out all the scandalous things these bastards did."
"So far, do you understand?"
Torina spread her hands and said calmly: "Actually, Michaela has already known about the black information Vicki Weir revealed, and she has been thinking about countermeasures all night. So, Michaela, it's your turn to fight back. .”
Returning to reality, Michaela said in a very calm tone: "Ms. Vicki Weir, thank you for your questions, and those questions have a reasonable explanation."
"Oh, is it so?"
Vicky Weir narrowed her eyes: "I'm all ears."
Michaela: "Let's talk about the first one, the price of Stormwind City's military standard long sword. Ms. Vicky Vale, do you know that Silithus is a desert area?"
"I know, what's wrong?" Vicky Weir looked at Michaela.
Michaela: "The sand in the desert will corrode weapons, so when fighting in desert areas, the surface of the weapon will be coated with a protective coating that resists wind and sand, which increases its cost."
"Oh (prolonged sound), is that so? I've really learned a lot."
Although in reality there is indeed protective weapon coating that Mikayla mentioned, Vicki Weir obviously does not believe Mikayla's lies.
"Okay, now comes the question of ale."
Michaela continued to talk: "Ms. Vicki Weir, I want to ask you a question, what do you think is going on with those high-end ales?"
"Then there's no need to say it!"
Vicky Weir's eyes had already glanced at the dwarf Marshal Brewer in the corner who was looking up at the ceiling: "That kind of high-grade ale is obviously not something that ordinary dwarf soldiers can consume. It must have been obtained by some dwarf *** using his power. of."
"You're absolutely right."
Michaela stretched out her left hand to greet Dwarf Marshal Brewer to the stage, and said: "I think now is a good opportunity, Marshal Brewer, let you explain the purpose of this batch of high-grade ale."
Dwarf Marshal Bruvor stepped onto the podium and told the (pre-programmed) truth: "Actually, that batch of ale was given as a reward to the dwarf warriors who fought bravely in the upcoming Battle of Ahn'Qiraj."
"That batch of wine was actually a reward? This is the first time I've heard this."
Vicki Weir asked back: "Then Marshal Brewer, why didn't you explain it publicly from the beginning?"
Marshal Brewer opened his mouth and said: "I just want to give my men a surprise. This is the behavior of our dwarves."
"Oh I got it."
Vicki Weir appeared to believe the other party's statement, and then asked Michaela: "So what about the third question? Where is that strange gold coin withdrawal?"
Mikaela first asked Marshal Brewer to step down and let him return to the corner to continue looking at the ceiling. Then he turned to Vicki Weir and said, "That is the reward fund we use to reward soldiers."
"Incentive fund?"
Vicky Weir laughed out loud and asked: "Ms. Michaela, the regular armies of the Alliance and the Horde are gathered here. I believe that these armies have their own reward mechanisms. There is no need to pay more."
Set up an external reward fund? "
"Of course the regular army doesn't need it, but we still have a group of hired adventurers."
Michaela said calmly:
"Of course the regular army has its own reward mechanism, and there is no need to set up an additional reward fund. But adventurers are different. They are willing to come to Silithus to participate in this war, and we must also come up with rewards that are consistent with their record. In addition, considering the risk Most of them come from lower levels and may not have bank accounts, so our rewards are mainly in cash, that is, gold coins.”
"Oh, that's right, Mikaela-sama, you are really good at words."
At this moment, Vicky Weir already felt that the opposite Mikayla was a tough opponent. She had brought out so many dirty materials about the coalition, but they were all resolved by the opponent one by one. It was like punching cotton with no effect. .
How about it, Vicky Vale, it’s time to admit defeat, I’ve taken everything into consideration!
A confident smile appeared on Michaela's face. He believed that female reporter Vicki Weir would not be able to find out more problems with the coalition forces.
"Well, I really don't have any more questions about the Coalition."
However, Vicki Weir still had the bottom line: "But, Lady Michaela, can I ask you some questions?"
This is a press conference, and it is impossible for Michaela to refuse: "Excuse me."
Vicki Vale asked: "As far as I know, you have visited our Stormwind City before as an ambassador of the tribe, right?"
"Yes."
Michaela nodded and said, "Twice in total."
Is there anything wrong with it?
I think should not be!
Is it really okay?
Vicki Vale spoke again: "Ms. Michaela, I have a very interesting thing here. Shortly after you first visited Stormwind City as a tribal ambassador, I discovered that you were in the hot sands of Tanaris. Hong Kong bought a beachfront villa, is this the case?"
My beach house?
"Yes."
Michaela thought there was nothing wrong with the villa, so she nodded and admitted.
"Very well, now that you admit it, I believe you will be able to explain the next question."
Just listen to Vicki Weir say: "At about the same time you bought the beach house, an exchange occurred at Goblin Bank. An unnamed check with a face value of 10,000 gold coins was cashed by you and the gold coins were transferred to The account you opened at Goblin Bank..."
Even though Vicky Weir hadn't finished what she said, Michaela was already stunned and sweating all over her body, and the three people on the ceiling who were originally in the corner, Halver, Brewer and Marlis were also watching. To Michaela.
"Michaela, I didn't expect you to be the cruelest one!" Torina spoke out the thoughts of the three of them.
Torina, stop making sarcastic remarks to me and come up with a solution together!
Torina said: "I'm already thinking about it."
Last night, Michaela did indeed find all the possible loopholes of the coalition forces with others, but he ignored himself and did not expect that the female reporter Vicki Weir was really capable of digging out things that had been going on for so long.
At this time, Vicky Vale continued: "Ms. Michaela, you were able to buy a beachfront villa in Hotsand Port entirely because of that bearer check, but the question is, how did you get that check? What? In other words, who gave you the check?"
"Well..." Michaela wanted to argue.
"Let me reveal the answer."
However, Vicki Weir did not give the other party a chance to speak and said first: "According to the results of my investigation, the payee of the bearer check belongs to the Stormwind Overseas Asset Management Committee. In other words, your check comes from Stormwind City. !」
"Before joining you, I visited Stormwind City as the Horde Ambassador...Oh, Lady Mikaela, I have to say that you are really capable. You were able to get a card from the Stormwind City government with a face value of 10,000 gold coins during the diplomatic activities. check."
