I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 2 Chapter 52: Sophia got it

At that moment, Sophia's eyes widened.

"Anson...Bach?"

"That's right, it was the officer who lied to you that night and asked you to take him to my study." Luther Franz, who was full of love, continued to speak. Stuttering daughter:

"He has officially become the supreme commander of the Clovis Cathedral security forces, controlling the establishment of eight companies and the appointment and removal of all officers."

"But this also brings a problem: in order to build and maintain this army, it requires a lot of temporary and ongoing expenses, which means a huge amount and involves all aspects of the army's budget."

"Nominally, the expenses of this army are borne by the church and the Privy Council, respectively, but this is just my intention to express my attitude; in fact, I plan to greatly increase the investment of the church or the Franz family, so that the part of the Privy Council will be reduced to About a fifth."

"Why?" the startled girl asked subconsciously.

"Because of a very simple truth." Luther Franz put down the newspaper, his hoarse and deep voice echoed in the hall:

"No matter how much an item is worth, it always belongs to the person who pays the most."

"And in order to ensure the value for money, and to ensure that every penny spent by the church and the Franz family is worth the money, and that this force will not be 'stealed' by others, I need someone who I absolutely trust. To manage this budget - dear Sophia, my daughter, there is no one better than you in this matter."

"I?"

"This was supposed to be something Ludwig learned to master, but I don't have any hope now... So I'm going to teach you." With another sigh, Mace Hornard continued:

"Listen, my dear Sophia, an organization may betray their superiors, their origins, or even each other - because any organization is always made up of people, and everyone's knowledge Ideas and thoughts are constantly changing, and you can never be sure that a servant who was loyal to the royal family one second will choose to betray his loyalty the next second because of some accident.”

"Because in the end, the word 'loyalty' means that the two parties, on the basis of mutual trust, each give each other a commitment without any collateral, which is the same for both parties."

The words fell, the smile on Mace Hornard's face gradually disappeared, and another completely different light flashed in the loving eyes.

Sophia was slightly startled, sober from the previous shock, but her eyes were still full of confusion.

"I don't understand." The girl paused for a few seconds and took a deep breath to keep herself restrained:

"If 'loyalty' is really as fragile as you say, then this country...not...should be the entire world of order, what does it rely on to maintain its operation? Also, what does this have to do with the work you say connect?"

"I'll explain it one by one." The love in Luther Franz's eyes did not diminish, and he picked up a blank check from under the newspaper with his right hand:

"Have you seen it? It's a check common to the kingdom of Clovis, printed for less than ten coppers, without a stamp, and you can't even prove it belongs to the church or which bank; but as long as I sign it, No matter how many numbers you write, any bank will not hesitate to give you any real gold coins to cash out.”

"But if it is changed to anyone else's name, it becomes an illegal check, neither the church nor any bank will accept it, and its face value will even fall below its cost, why?"

"Because you are the archbishop of the Kingdom of Clovis, everyone knows that you will definitely honor it." Sophia frowned slightly, she felt it was not such a simple question: "And other people don't have that kind of credit."

"Really?" Luther Franz asked rhetorically, with a hint of playfulness on the corner of his mouth: "Because I am the archbishop of the church, I have credibility; if status can make people credible, then we live in a What a magical world!"

"It's better to say that I feel that the more powerful people are, the less honest they are - still taking me as an example, I gave a check to a man who was in desperate need of a turnaround, and then waited until he made a comeback and accused him of stealing because he had The check is illegal... can't I do something like this?"

"I am the archbishop, I have power, position, wealth... I can even pretend to be a victim and leave no one suspicious."

"But this will still damage your reputation in the end." Sophia retorted: "Even if you can deceive most people, there will still be a few people who will see the truth!"

"Well said." Luther Franz smiled comfortably, but the next second, the conversation changed:

"But the question is, how much is the truth worth? It's not fair that a person with good credit but no status is destroyed, and the price I pay is just a little bit of 'credit damage'."

"Oaths, commitments, loyalty... all of this must be based on 'mutual trust', a very fragile existence; perhaps there really exists a noble person in this world who values ​​oaths very much; but when the stakes are placed in front of him How long can this nobility last?"

"So your point of view is that only the stakes can maintain the commitment of both parties?" Sophia asked while guessing:

"As long as the interests of both parties are maintained, Anson Bach will not betray you?"

"Well, there is such a possibility." Luther Franz said lightly:

"But how do we determine his interests - if he is really an old **** who doesn't care about rank and status, how do we make sure he doesn't betray us?"

The girl frowned slightly again, and she was lost in thought, not even noticing that some of her own thoughts had been exposed to her father's eyes.

"My dear Sophia, it's very simple." The loving Luther Franz spoke softly and gave the answer:

"Anson Bach~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He can betray everyone, even himself...but he can't betray the foundation that has made him in this position!"

The girl's eyes widened... she understood.

An organization may betray their superiors, their origins, or even each other...but they can never betray their foundation, the financial resources that sustain their existence!

That's right, if Anson Bach's goal is to take control of this army; then you only need to grasp the budget of the army, you can understand his every move, and even find the key to prove his black mage lackey Sexual evidence!

"Father, I understand."

Sophia, who was cheering in her heart, still kept a reserved smile on her beautiful face: "I am willing to accept this job. It is my responsibility and an honor to be able to share the burden for the Franz family."

Anson Bach...hehehehehehehehehehehehe...

you wait for me!
