Chapter 664 Abnormal Business
What is abnormal service?
Take Benjamin's factory as an example. Their business is highly concentrated in the comfort zone of the military factory, and they don't need to leave the military industrial zone of the imperial capital.
For normal business dealings, there is no need to go out of town.
But in the records of transportation services, at least one batch of orders will be sent to coastal ports every month.
And it is several transport teams that have no horizontal connection before to complete this task together.
From the perspective of a single business, there is no problem, but from the perspective of God, several transport teams just form a perfect closed loop.
If you say this is a coincidence, it is an insult to Dast's IQ.
He continued to read the records and found another suspicious point.
All the participating transport teams have military backgrounds.
Many of the industries under Lister's name have military backgrounds, because this is the meal arranged by his father.
These military-to-civilian transport teams are first-class in terms of personnel and system.
Obviously, if you want to do something secretive, they are the absolute first choice.
From Dust's perspective, he felt that these people were Lister's private army, belonging to the royal bloodline.
This is in line with the habits of the nobles. Any nobles who are slightly capable will equip their children with some reliable personnel.
"There must be something wrong here."
Dust was extremely sure that such a closed logic circle perfectly matched his inference.
But what can he do? Report it?
Dust shook his head. This is the stupidest behavior.
Not to mention that he has no definite evidence, even if he has it, what can he do?
Do you really think that you can threaten them by getting the handle of the superiors?
If you want to threaten the superiors, you are more likely to be dealt with silently.
His Majesty the Emperor today will never be cruel enough to deal with the Jide family.
After all, one side is his son, and the other side is an ordinary noble.
If the son dies, then he is really dead.
If the nobles are gone, there are people to fill the vacancy.
He is definitely willing to give his son a chance and let the Jide family suffer a little grievance.
Dust believes in his judgment so much because this is the "secret" he discovered himself.
If Lister had told him this, Duster would have been suspicious.
In the end, Duster chose a smart approach.
He directly chose to replace the transport fleet of the first ring.
The logistics industries under Lister are most concentrated near the imperial capital.
This is easy to understand, after all, it is easier to manage if it is close.
With his previous style of doing things, this is normal.
Therefore, if Duster wants to complete a business replacement, it is easy to find a replacement.
Based on the reasons of business adjustment needs, optimizing industrial structure, and reducing consumption, he used another team with a military background to directly replace the fleet that has always had direct business dealings with Benjamin.
He didn't want to send someone to hand over casually and end up with an accident.
He just wanted to attract Lister's attention, not the attention of certain departments of the Great Xia Empire.
...
Benjamin didn't know what happened at all, and he didn't know the background of the fleet he handed over to him.
In fact, this fleet with a military background was actually controlled by the Eighth Investigation Department, and he never had the opportunity to understand it in depth.
Therefore, his self-proclaimed secret behavior was actually under official surveillance.
Then this team was recently packed up and put under Lister's name.
Why did Duster feel confused?
Because the previous management was not a group of people, and they were not even affiliated with a group of people.
Fortunately, these teams were originally operated independently, and it was not abrupt to put them all under Lister's name.
After all, no matter how smart Duster was, he would never have thought that the intelligence agencies of the empire were more varied than he imagined.
In fact, half of the transportation business he took over had problems.
The intelligence agencies of various departments, the intelligence agencies within the empire, and even the royal spies, all swarmed under him.
If he knew the truth, I don't know if he would be scared to death.
But now, Benjamin was a little scared.
The team that had been handed over to him changed people, and he didn't receive any advance notice.
In fact, he didn't know that the transport team was originally handed over to him for management, but Lister intervened temporarily, which led to the current situation.
If it was a normal business, the replacement would be replaced, and Benjamin was not afraid at all.
But tonight's transportation is all arms, and it's the kind of arms that are privately traded. He is so nervous that he is almost sweating.
"I want to see your person in charge. We are obviously cooperating well, why did you suddenly change people?" Benjamin directly opposed with a clear attitude: "You should have informed me in advance that today's transportation mission was cancelled."
He would rather complete the mission late than take risks.
He is doing a business that can kill his head, how can he rashly trust people?
The person in charge of the team is helpless. He was also temporarily transferred here and has not figured out what happened.
However, the task given by his boss is very clear. Even if Baron Lister ordered him to blow up the palace, he would do it first.
So he doesn't care what Benjamin is transporting.
"Mr. Benjamin, the previous team was also ours. It was just a temporary change of people due to business adjustments. Please believe in our professionalism."
Obviously, Benjamin would not believe him.
Professional? If you knew the inside story, you wouldn't say these nonsense to me.
He insisted that he would not relax. Now that he has taken over part of Sanger's responsibilities, he is no longer the lowest-level minion. He can contact Earl Jeffreys at any time and has a backer behind him.
The two sides were deadlocked, and naturally the feedback was fed back to Dust step by step.
As the most direct person in charge, he rushed to the scene very quickly.
He would not doubt the reliability of the transport team.
He made two preparations for this matter. If he could convince Benjamin, that would be the best.
If he couldn't convince him, the previous transport team was also ready and could be dispatched at any time.
Wasting a little time will not affect the final result.
And he was sure that Baron Lister would know about this matter.
He would not participate in the specific business details, so theoretically he knew nothing about the tricks inside.
If Baron Lister was really a caring person, he would be able to see his hint.
After all, he was working with his head on his shoulders, so he had to be cautious.
And in this way, he also showed his value and would never be accepted as cannon fodder.
Duster arrived at the scene and saw Benjamin.
The two had dealt with each other before. He didn't understand Benjamin's abrupt actions before, but now it seems that everything was foreshadowed.
This Benjamin was also Baron Lister's man, and the latter seemed to have been making some preparations.
