Regarding the huge corruption problem in the expeditionary force's logistics system, Soshyan is not ignorant. In fact, Veronica reminded him very early that the efficiency of the expeditionary force's logistics system has declined since the second year of its operation. It was declining rapidly, but the numbers were growing.
Initially, 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 faster than the system of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Therefore, This shows how deep the insensitivity and corruption is in other institutions.
Therefore, Soshyan 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 oversight that laid the foundation for the disaster. A system that had no supervision at all and relied solely on self-management, and could handle so many resources at the same time, was corrupting faster than the Space Engine, and the Space Marine commanders on the front line were... The general pursuit of results without asking about the process also gives corrupt elements many opportunities to take advantage of them.
But Soshyan can't send Space Marines to supervise them. There is currently a shortage of people on the battlefield. Instead, he simply arranges a supervisory 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.
Thinking about it now, 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 order in the hive. For a corrupt giant that has taken shape, the power they can draw out may not be of any help——
Therefore, 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 is not his responsibility.
Although this mentality is a bit escaping, it is also Soshiyang'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 were 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 ask the Ministry of Justice to arrest a group of people in various places. , to kill a group of people, it is best to have public trials and executions, so that the people can see that all departments must assist the Ministry of Justice in law enforcement actions 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——"
Rory Figueiredo was about to say something, but after seeing Soshiyan's eyes, he stopped talking, leaving only a helpless response.
"yes."
"But everyone, there is no need to settle old scores. The problem must be solved."
Bornhard Morales hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.
"Commander-in-Chief, in terms of logistics, some non-essential personnel can be reduced and some staff salaries can be reduced."
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. They all agree to formulate a maximum price policy. I think there will be no problem with the Casgo Trade Association."
After hearing that Soshyan had already taken care of the two most powerful merchant families, the representative of the Kasgo Trade Association nodded after hesitating for a moment.
"We support your decision."
Soshyan 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?"
Now no one dared to say anything.
Soshyan then looked at Saint Dalton.
"The Patriarch has been silent. Do you have any suggestions or ideas?"
Stopping the rosary beads in his hand, Saint Dolton opened his slightly cloudy eyes, and then 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 got used to it, and no one showed anger or surprise, including the marshal of the Ministry of Justice.
".For example, at this very moment, a devout order is praying for the expedition and the Emperor in the cathedral. They have not eaten for seven days and seven nights, but they have not wavered in the slightest. This is an example of faith."
At this time, Soshyan already had the urge to hang this old thing on the eagle emblem to dry 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. Dalton said is that faith is our best armor."
Soshyan suddenly interrupted the other party's rambling.
"When I said this, I remembered one thing. When the troops were advancing in Badab, they found something that looked like a reliquary."
Upon hearing this, Saint Dalton's eyes almost sparkled, and he quickly took two steps forward.
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure about this. You know, there are soldiers on the front lines. They don't know much about this. There seems to be a battle flag with a sky blue unicorn on it."
"Ah! It's Saint Daisy's battle flag!"
"...and yellow begging bowls with a notch, and wine glasses with sea serpents twined around them."
"This, this, this -"
St. Dalton seemed very excited, and his excitement was justified.
In the past, the Badab sector was the center of the Maelstrom area. Naturally, there were 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 Badab War broke out, both sides ignored the casualties. The bombing and destruction caused the state religious facilities in the Badab sector to be almost completely destroyed, and a large number of saints' bones and relics were also lost.
