MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 500 Arrival decision

Chapter 500: Sending a decision

Mrs. Maria is not an empty-mouthed ambassador who asks overseas self-governing troops to save the kingdom in times of danger. It may be because Claude’s conversation with her on the train made her finally understand what. So after arriving in Lanhu City, she opened her own cards and placed the conditions of the kingdom in front of the five-member generals of the Autonomous Leadership Council and the Military Region. As for the choices made by the self-governing parliament and the military region, it is not her business. She is only the special envoy of His Majesty the King.

All the conditions submitted by the Overseas Self-Government Council to the Kingdom were promised by Frederick I. It is nothing more than the sovereign state of the Orwells Kingdom as the sovereign state of the overseas self-governing body. The administrative measures of overseas self-governing leaders, personnel promotion, fiscal and taxation, economic and financial, and military power maintain independent status, and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the kingdom, but they must report to the kingdom to coordinate in emergencies... ...

At the same time, the Kingdom's native goods allow the goods produced by overseas self-governing territories to have the pricing power to sell in the local market. Although it is impossible to fully liberalize the commercial exclusive rights of the local counties, it can issue ten commercial access passes to the overseas self-governing leaders. As long as the overseas self-governing business with the entry permit for this commodity, the goods can be freely traded throughout the Kingdom...

It can be said that the wishes of the overseas self-governing members are satisfied by the kingdom. Looking at the autograph of Frederic I in black and white, and the official official notice of the seal of the king and the king’s seal symbolizing the royal family of Stirling, the hearts of the self-governing members But some are dumbfounding. Everyone knows that the current situation in the Kingdom of Ovilas is not good. This may be the real reason why Frederick I promised all the conditions of overseas self-government.

In addition, Mrs. Maria also brought the long-lost promotion of the Royal Army Department to the five generals of the Autonomous Leadership Region and the officers of the two legions. This is the late promotion officer’s promotion order for nearly three years, and the king. His Majesty gave the honor of the meritorious men who won the victory of the colonial war with the Hicks Kingdom.

General Bologna and Claude were officially promoted to the rank of the kingdom of the kingdom. Their two ranks were originally the kingdom of the kingdom. This promotion was promoted to the rank of general. General Scrim, General Albert and General Beechklin were also promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General. In addition, seven colonel officers were promoted to the Kingdom Major General.

Murray Ed, Berklin and Diavid, the three brothers of Claude, crossed the dividing line between the school's officers and officers and became the official general of the kingdom. As for Mai Jieke, his luck was good. It may be because of the brother-in-law of Claude, he also caught up with the last bus and was promoted to the kingdom by the Majesty of the King. The Thunder Legion was promoted to four officers, and three others were colonel officers of the Rock Corps.

Compared with the promotion of the ranks, Frederick I’s honorary gift was more generous. He gave a breath of 24 military personnel to the kingdom’s new aristocracy. Among them, Claude’s gift is the most generous. It may be related to Claude's original title of the Earl of Honor of the Kingdom. This time he was given the title of the kingdom of the kingdom, and this title can be passed on to generations from generation to generation.

General Bolognic was given the name of the Viscount of the Three Kingdoms, General Scree, General Albert and General Beechklin were given the title of Baron III. Their title of the title can be passed down for three generations. Murray Ed, Berklin, and the 19 military officers and senior military officers such as Diavid and McJack were given the honorary baron. The purpose of the seal is to show that the reason why His Majesty the King gave the title is to commend the soldiers of the self-governing military region for their pioneering efforts, and to thank the officers and men of the army for their sacrifice and contribution to the **** battle of the kingdom in the battlefield...

The Overseas Self-Government Council was also given three people by His Majesty the King. One was the one-armed Sir Bennett, who was given the honorary viscount. This may be because he had suffered the assassination of the Master of the Gray Tower. The second grant is to give him compensation.

There is also Mr. Xia Zolaq, the head of the patrol department of the overseas self-governing body. He was forced to retire from the army because of the assassination of the Master of the Gray Tower. Later, he was asked by Claude to rectify the patrol affairs of the overseas direct jurisdiction. This time, because of the excellent public order of the overseas self-governing leader, he was awarded the honorary baron by Frederick I.

The last member to receive a seal is Mr. Vibron, which is very unexpected. However, he was given a sufficient reason for the seal. He used a large sum of money to finance Master Bird's research and improvement of the steam engine. He finally completed the development of the train and changed the traffic conditions of the overseas self-governing leaders. It can be said that the train appeared. Without the wisdom and support of Mr. Vibron, he was also given the honorary baron.

There were seven people who received the seal from the overseas self-governing people, but only five of them were accepted. Master Bird was given the title of the kingdom of the king, in recognition of his merits of inventing the train and improving the steam engine, and his four rune magicians. They were all given as honorary barons. The two men who quit the seal were Mrs. Sonia and Claude’s sister Anna. The two of them were given seals for the invention of the new rifle, but they all agreed to give the seal, but they felt that it was unnecessary. The second is to keep a low profile.

The reason why Frederick I promised to be autonomous and the reason for such a large-scale self-governing leader to give a title is very simple. He also made two requests to the overseas self-governing parliament and the military region. One is to let the overseas self-governing leaders pay the kingdom and the royal family every year. One million gold krona tax and tribute, the second is to let the two legions of the autonomous leading region return to the kingdom to help him resist the invasion of the national alliance army in the eastern region...

"What is the current state of the kingdom?"

"Reporting General, the Royal Army Department reorganized two defensive fronts in the Cookia County, Chayalal County, Crimey County, Bilimomo County and Bajiashan Tana County, currently deployed on the front line. The Legion is a division of the Guards Corps and the entire team of the Griffin Legion. In addition, there are two second-line corps, totaling more than 200,000 troops. In addition, the Royal Army Department is still in the White Lucheng City from the Kingdom refugees. Prepare to form two second-line corps again.

There are a total of 430,000 horses and seven legions of the National Alliance Army in the Eastern Front against the front of the Kingdom. The Hicks Kingdom has three standing corps, the Nasri Kingdom has two standing corps, and the Canas Principality has one. The Light Horse Legion, the remainder is a legion formed by the Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimondra.

It may be that we have already occupied the relationship between our kings and kings. The seven legions of the National League, which is currently deployed in the front line, are not war-stricken and have little fighting will. They have barely launched two large-scale attacks more than a month ago, only losing Thousands of troops quickly withdrew and returned to the state of confrontation. However, there are cases where the enemy is still mobilizing troops from within their country. It is estimated that there will be six standing army groups that will arrive at the front line within three months. Maybe when the enemy reinforcements arrive, it is the time they launched the general attack..."

Now the kingdom has no longer blocked the information on overseas self-governing leaders. Almost every half month, new reports of war status are sent to the command of the autonomous leading region.

"Do you think that our self-governing military region should send troops?" asked General Bologna.

It is almost unnecessary to ask, and all senior military officers in the military region are unanimous in favor of sending troops. Frederick I was given a seal in the autonomous leading region and finally got unexpected results. Whether it is the Thunder Corps or the officers of the Meteorite Corps, or the officers and men of the Dominion Ocean Cruise Fleet, all the eyes are red and noisy, returning to the Kingdom, and giving a profound lesson to the National Union Army in the Eastern Region. ..

Although the overseas self-governing leaders have gained true autonomy, the people here still regard themselves as the people of the Kingdom of Ovilas. Nowadays, the kingdom is in a difficult situation. The people in the overseas self-governing territory are surging, and they are asking the self-governing leading regions to send troops back to the kingdom. Even the youths are outside the military command headquarters or at the military camp. They volunteered to join the army and return to the kingdom to defend against the Eastern Alliance. The invasion of the army.

As for the soldiers of the two legions, let alone mention it. The Hicks kingdom army has always been its own defeat, and the results of the colonial war and the captives of more than half a million servants have proved this. The Naseri kingdom was originally the deadly enemy of the kingdom of Ovilas. The revenge of the kingdom of the Cannes in the last five years before the end of the war in the eastern region was not reported. As for the Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimondra, autumn After the embarrassment, no one will put them in the eye.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Thunder Army and the Stone Corps are all morale shacks. First, they don’t look at the enemy. Second, they want to make meritorious deeds. They may also earn a title for the family to be glorified. The third is that I feel a little uncomfortable when I haven’t been snoring for so long. Especially after the new type of rifle new artillery, the concept of Laozi’s first world has penetrated into the minds of every officer. They can’t wait to see the battlefield, and even some people use blood to sign up and fight.

This is not something that the five giants of the autonomous leading region can press down. Even General Bologna and others hope to return to the kingdom to fight. Perhaps it was Crowder's hereditary baronary title that spurred them, and they also wanted to make further progress. The hereditary title can be passed on to generations from generation to generation, more enviable than their three-time title and honorary title.

"We can send troops." Claude still keeps calm: "But we demand independent command and war rights, and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Royal Army. After all, we are the autonomous leading regions, and the combat methods are not the same as those in the kingdom. The logistics supply does not need to rely on the supply of the Royal Army Department. It is not necessary to accept the wild command of the Royal Army. Sometimes, face-to-face enemies are not terrible, but those who need to be careful are those who are speculative..."

Yes, Claude is right. The senior officers of the military region who participated in the conference wake up and send troops to participate in the war. However, the two regiments returning to the kingdom can not accept the command of the Royal Army Department, otherwise they will be pushed to the front line as their shields. The Royal Army Department is not able to do such a thing, the military region must have independent combat and command.

"Is this a condition for sending troops and discussing with Mrs. Maria, are there any other requirements?" asked General Bologna.

General Scrim opened his mouth: "Perhaps we can also ask the King to leave the permission to relocate the refugees of the Open Kingdom. Doesn't it mean that Bailucheng now has two or three million refugees? It depends on the food we provided to the kingdom for free last time. The agricultural products are in the doldrums. If our Majesty allows our overseas self-governing leaders to relocate those refugees, we can provide the kingdom with a batch of food and military supplies..."

Since Claude led the Thunder Army to land in Bailu City, the kingdom of the Kingdom, robbed the machinery and equipment of the local counties and migrated the kingdoms, Wang has issued a ban on relocation, and the local people of the kingdom are not allowed to migrate to overseas lords. Go, this is also to avoid the loss of the local human resources.

However, the current war against the invasion of the National Alliance Army in the Eastern Region has once again caused a large-scale refugee wave in the Kingdom. Many people in the Kingdom have fled their homes from the enemy-occupied areas to the southwest of the Kingdom. That is Frey. The city where Delhi I lived. The refugees believe that there will always be security guarantees around the king, and the kingdom refugees who come together from all over the world have brought great pressure to Bailu City...

However, this is a very good immigration opportunity for overseas self-governors. Claude has a joke-like calculation. If the overseas self-governing leader really has the development strength that is always prosperous, then the population must reach more than 15 million. At present, the entire overseas self-government has less than seven million kingdom immigrants. The state with a population of more than one million accounts for only one-third of the territory, and those with a small population are only one-seventh. In addition to those around the town, more sites It’s all pretty wild.

Therefore, General Scree did not mind using this opportunity to send troops to increase the population of overseas self-governing leaders.

"Well, this requirement that allows us to lead the migration of refugees in the kingdom is the second condition for our self-governing troops." General Bologna said: "Is there any other request, no? Well, since we all said To send troops, then we will discuss how to send troops this time, how many soldiers should be, Claude, let me talk about it..."

Claude tapped his finger on the table and said, "I think that both of our corps must be dispatched, but at least the garrison of the division must be left in the self-governing region. Just though we already have twenty A local garrison with a new rifle is enough to deal with any situation in the overseas self-governing body. Even if the Hicks Kingdom has another colonial war, there is no need to worry. But now it is our new home, and we must not be too careful.

All of you are military personnel who have participated in the war in the Eastern Region for five years. You all know that in such a regional war, the investment of one or two legions in the frontal battlefield cannot play a key role in the battle. Just like the attack and defense of the territory of the Principality of Modra in the past, our kingdom claimed that the most elite defensive corps of the kingdom had entered the battlefield, and the positional battles that were fortified by the enemy layer were eventually dragged to half of the damage, and the morale was completely absent. Do not retreat and retake the rest.

This war took place in the homeland of our kingdom. If the enemy attacked and defended the position, it would not only consume time, but also cause the greatest damage to the kingdom. So I demand independent combat and command, and there is no need to dance with the enemy's baton. As for the troops that are dispatched, it is better to be good. Because our army is damaged on the battlefield, it is impossible for the Royal Army Department to supplement us.

Therefore, if we want to send troops this time, we must first expand our army, and at least each legion must increase the strength of a division. The Thunder Legion is a light-riding army that is good at attacking. I hope that there are reliable armed forces behind us to guard our rear. If we invest in the strength of the two divisions, there is at least one division behind us to keep supplies and supplies for us. Ammunition, so that we have no worries.

The same is true of the Rock Corps. The division of a division’s troops stays with the overseas self-governing leaders, and the strengths of the two divisions go to the kingdom to fight. Now the self-governing folks are arguing, and the young people who voluntarily sign up for the army are crowded in the barracks and command departments. I think we shouldn't let their hearts and minds go to nowhere, simply as their wishes, let these young and strong soldiers first train for three months. As for officers and veterans, you can recruit a batch from those local guards..."

Claude’s proposal to expand the troops was also out of frustration. He also did not expect the King’s Majesty to be so generous, and promoted seven new kingdom generals. Just like Berklin, if he is still a colonel, then he has no problem with a regiment. However, he has now become a major general of the kingdom. It is ugly to call him the head of the regime. The position of the military rank is the head of the division. Therefore, it is imperative to expand the division. Anyway, if you want to go back to the country to fight, as long as the equipment is on, the troops are more good, and the troops are more lenient.

"Well, the two legions will each build another division." General Bologna nodded. These military affairs were already accustomed to him. He asked General Scrieri to logistically expand the strength of the two divisions. After no problem, the conscription command was surrendered, and General Albert and General Beechklin were responsible for the reorganization of the Thunder Corps and the Stone Corps and the recruit training, and prepared for the battle before the expedition.

"We have reached an agreement here and can send troops. But what about the conditions in which the King’s Majesty asks our overseas self-governors to pay a tax of one million gold krona per year and tribute money?” General Scree asked curiously.

Unlike the decision to send troops to the autonomous leading region, the Parliament and Mrs. Maria May are very heated on this issue. The final parliamentarians voted to reject Frederick I’s request. They are only willing to pay 500,000 gold francs per year for taxes and tribute, which is 100,000 gold krona more than the previous 400,000.

Mrs. Maria is very angry and pointed out that the total tax revenue of the overseas self-governing leaders has exceeded 2 million kronor, and it is a duty to hand over to the kingdom. However, Speaker Bennett countered that the overseas self-governing leaders paid for the military expenses of the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps in place of the kingdom. If the overseas self-governing leader is handed over half of the tax, it is very simple. The military expenditures of the two legions of the autonomous leading region are paid by the kingdom...

Mrs. Maria May immediately shut up.
