Chapter 570 Lease and Wang Ting's Three Requirements

After sending General Merried's Iron Armored Fleet and Ocean Shipping Fleet, Claude inspected the entire port of Patkara, accompanied by King Avitre I of the Kingdom of Breot. Time explored the surrounding terrain. Finally, Claude signed a lease agreement on behalf of the Overseas Dominion and Avitele I to lease Port Karakla from the Kingdom of Breot for 50 years. The rent of 100,000 kronor per year increased by 10% every ten years. .....

Although he is not interested in the territory of the Hicks Kingdom, Claude believes that the autonomous region should not leave after slapping his ass, but should maintain continuous military pressure and economic influence in this area. Therefore, the approach of the American Empire in the previous life is very worthy of reference. The existence of a military base can make people in this region must respect the rights and interests of the American Empire and dare not ignore its right to speak.

Leasing is more cost-effective than forcibly occupying. After all, it is not appropriate to forcibly occupy a port to become an enclave of overseas dominion. Fassland is popular in the world with loud fists and loud speakers, which is a reasonable model, mainly occupying land. But this approach can leave endless consequences for the future. For example, this occupying country regains its lost vengeance. In the future, some disputes will make overseas dominions involved and cannot easily get out ...

The dispute over the ownership of the occupied territories is on the one hand. The resistance of the people above will also make overseas self-government leaders burn up. I do n’t know how much money needs to be allocated to this bottomless pit. Increasing troop strength and military strength to protect this enclave, suppressing the resistance of the people, and also implementing preferential treatment and appeasement, so that they accept the rule of the autonomous region, all these costs will become an astronomical figure in the future, and will eventually overwhelm the autonomous region Financial revenues and expenditures of military regions.

Thinking about the so-called glory of the imperial empire in the previous life, we can know how failed this method of occupation with flags everywhere was in the end. In addition to the colonies around the world, except India and Hong Kong, which can bring some economic income to the Sunburst Empire, the rest are used as resource production areas, and the colonies of commodity distribution areas have all caused a wave of national independence. The empire collapsed and it shrank on the British Isles. Centennial naval celebrations can only be counted on yachts ...

The lease of the military base of the American Empire perfectly avoided the colonial trap. In fact, the two functions are not much different. In some places, they are regarded as protectors by the local people, which is completely different from the treatment as a colonial ruler. . So when Claude made a request to the Kingdom of Breot to lease Port Karakala as a military base for an overseas dominion, Avitre I was pleasantly surprised, and was pleased to offer to pay a penny for one year.

For Avitre I, the Overseas Autonomous Regional Command was a reliable ally. He knew that the Overseas Autonomous Regional Command did not want to occupy the territory of the Kingdom of Hicks, so he could hand over the territory of the Kingdom of Hicks to those Neighboring tributaries. The Kingdom of Breot originally had only fourteen mountain counties. This time, it recaptured three counties in the Manoli Plains and occupied four counties in the east. It is also a medium-to-large-scale kingdom on the Fareland continent.

Now that Claude's request for the leasing of Port Patkala seems to Avitelle I to help him consolidate the rule of the newly occupied territory. There are troops stationed in the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Zone here, and the port of Patkara is used as a military base. The safety of the three counties in the Manori Plain need not worry about him. Even if the Hicks Kingdom is reunited in the future, it will not be able to re-request to the Kingdom of Breot during the lease period to return the three counties of Manori ...

If it were possible, Avitele I really wanted not to collect rent. For a port of Patkara, the total tax revenue for a year is less than 50,000 kronor. Now the autonomous region has proposed a one-year rent of 100,000 kronor, and it has increased tenth of the rental fee for ten years. This is really kind. Already. Although during the 50-year lease period, the Kingdom of Breot lost its jurisdiction over the port of Patkara, this was not a sale of Port Kara, it was just a lease. The ownership of this seaport city still belongs to the Kingdom of Breot .

So grateful Avitel I packed fifty miles around the port of Portkara, including the entrance to the Pass of the Manoli Plain, and leased it to the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Zone, and signed the "Patekara Port Rental Agreement". Claude directly transferred the fifty-five-year rent of more than 5.6 million kronor to the Kingdom of Breot. This made Avitelle I very excited. He hugged Claude with tears and said that he was The most sincere friend of the Kingdom of Breot.

After renting the port of Patkara, Claude would be able to transfer the hundreds of thousands of idle Hicks Returning Division officers and soldiers gathered in Wangjing Saint-Hiprian City to Port Patkara, waiting to be transported overseas In the two or three months of the Dominion, earn a little money in the project of rebuilding the port of Patkara. This is better than letting these hundreds of thousands of military members eat and sleep in Wangjing Saint-Hiprian all day. Better ...

In the future, Port Karakala will become a commercial harbour city located in the southern part of Valeria, which will interact with the Beibu Gulf of Kanas Prairie to form a golden maritime commercial road. By maritime transportation between the two, connecting the goods produced in the south and east of the mainland, and the special goods from the mainland of Nubia, it is conceivable how prosperous and profitable the sea commerce will be in the future.

Therefore, the leased port of Port Karakala needs to be reconstructed and expanded. According to the design and planning of the autonomous region, the entire Port Karakal will be demolished and rebuilt. It is just now that the manpower is sufficient to carry out engineering infrastructure construction. This is a win-win solution. The autonomous region gains a commercial seaport city where troops can be stationed, and these military members can earn a small amount of money before going to overseas dominions as immigrants ...

Claude spent almost a month in Port Patkala, and after he got the idea of ​​the rebuilding, he saw those military members had arrived, so he transferred the follow-up to Ziegfit Mo., the head of the logistics department of the autonomous region. General Vincent is in charge. When General Siegfried became the logistics director of the Thunder Division, he was only a lieutenant colonel officer. He did not expect to become a major general now. As a logistics technical officer, he knew the difficulty of promoting the general, but after following Claude for so many years, he still easily passed the promotion barrier.

Claude, who had returned to the city of Saint-Hiprian in Wang Jing, was again engaged in busy military affairs. He discussed with General Albert the summary report of the battle sent by General Beechkline. General Lin was envious of being able to return to the self-governing territory of the Overseas Dominion. By the way, he and Claude had a sandbox drill on the west coast of the Pamigar National Republic against the southern three colonial coalition forces to discuss the progress of the war ... ...

Crowder was not very worried about whether General Beechklin would take his own suggestion and delay the battle. Although General Beechklin did not look outstanding, he was a thoughtful person. After reading Crowd's reply, he naturally understood what he should do. At the moment of the war on the west coast, the three colonial nations of the Kingdom of Morosik, the Kingdom of Resnia, and the Duchy of Vasilico were swollen and fat, but in fact they had no stamina. The Autonomous Military Command wants to delay this battle. The three-nation coalition forces can only leave it to General Beechklin.

You should know that before Claude transferred the headquarters of the autonomous region and the implementation of the wildfire plan to General Beechklin, he had given these three colonial nations a profound lesson and wiped out the expeditionary forces they sent to the west coast. Claude had thought that such a loss would make the three colonial nations calm down, beat his teeth and swallow his stomach, and eat the deficit. Unexpectedly, he had just left, and the three colonial nations once again sent expeditionary forces to recover the colonies.

However, it seems that the three colonial nations in the south have done their best. If they fail again, they can no longer touch the western coast of the mainland of Nubia. Because Beechklin said in the report that the expeditionary force that came here was a total of eight legions, the Morozic Kingdom and the Resne Kingdom sent three legions each, while the Duchy of Vasilico sent two Legion, with a total strength of nearly 400,000.

Claude laughed when he saw the total strength of less than 400,000 in the report. A traditional standing legion is about 60,000, so there are at least 480,000 in the eight legions. About 500,000 troops. But the problem is that the three colonies of the southern colonial army used eight army formations, but only 400,000 troops. Obviously, they were not at all together or they could not recruit new soldiers, so the army had to be dissatisfied with the army ... ..

The difference between these three countries and the Hicks Kingdom is that the Hicks Kingdom ’s colonies on the mainland of Nubia were purely occupied by those kingdom aristocrats for mining, so they would go along the mountains and go inland after they landed. Going deeper and deeper, in the end, all the coastal sites were lost, because the colonial team found gold and silver mineral resources of various sizes in the inland mountains.

Therefore, even if it does not occupy the site in the coastal zone, the continuous mining and mining in the inland colonies for decades will still bring endless gold and silver mineral resources to the Hicks Kingdom and accumulate countless wealth. Even if McKid III defeated the Autonomous Territory repeatedly and suffered huge losses, he could still grit his teeth and refuse to give in until he was destroyed by the Autonomous Territory.

The problem lies here. Although the kingdoms of Morosík and Resnya, as well as the Duchy of Vasilico, have occupied colonies on the west coast, the colonies are all in the coastal plains. Mineral resources are scarce, that is, they rely on planting and breeding. There are catches, as well as harvesting of rare animals and plants for harvesting. The real reason for the domestic nobility and businessmen to support the colonial policy is to use the difference in trade between the two places to harvest benefits from the colonies ...

Compared with the continuous supply of gold and silver mineral resources from the Hicks Kingdom from the inland colonies, the income for more than a century is not enough to be worth the wealth of the Hicks Kingdom from the inland colonies for ten years, so the three countries are serious Speaking of them, they are all bitter. They really did their best to organize the Second Expeditionary Force to recover the colony. If these 400,000 horses are finished again, the three countries will really say goodbye to colonial policies.

Regarding the autonomous region's role as a Pamigar armed force behind, the commander of the Rusman Hussars, and even sent a voluntary corps to support the indigenous peoples in the colonies of these three countries for the liberation and independence of the West Coast War. What waves caused Lord's heart, everything went according to plan. Now Claude is busy building the recently leased Port of Patkara, and then gradually transfers the trophies, military members and captives on Wang Jing's side to the Port Kara Port military base.

After being busy for several days, Crowder got a report, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Marquis Blanchard, was again unsolicited. This time accompanied by Baron Cornelt, a member of the Dominion Council, Crowd remembered that the Baron was a shareholder of the Dominion Railways Corporation and was responsible for the survey and design of the Kingdom ’s railway lines. So this time accompanying Prime Minister Blanchard, is there any change in the construction of the kingdom's domestic railways?

Prime Minister Blanchard was very well received by Claude. After the meeting, Prime Minister Blanchard also politely explained his intentions. The first is the increase of troops, the second is the railway, and the third is the lease, which is a total of three things. In addition, he gave Claude an unexpected surprise. Claude's elder brother, Viscount Albert Sandfield, obeyed his mother's order and came to Claude with the intention of obtaining some support from Claude to help Construction of family territory ...

Let me talk about the increase in troops first. This is a requirement of the Red Dragon Army. It is different from the way the Thunder Army swept the entire local county, and took away local officials, territories, nobles, and wealthy business landlords who were in the upper class, and then seized their property. The occupation method of the Dragon Legion is the most formal and traditional. It is nothing more than the prosperous and the perverse. The Hicks who rely on it to govern the place. The Red Dragon Corps sends troops to station.

Thanks to the newly equipped new rifles and the Red Dragon Corps, which have traditional combat effectiveness, the local defense forces in the three central local counties in charge of the attack cannot resist the Red Dragon Army's attack, either surrendering or being destroyed. For the Red Dragon Army, the only drawback is that the new rifle bullets consume too much. The 5 million rounds originally prepared will occupy about one million after the three local counties ... ...

Generally speaking, the Thunder Corps swept through a local county, and the property recovered from those local upper-class families was between one million and two million kronor. However, the noble coalitions were able to plunder the wealth of five or six million kronor in the western county they occupied. It was a terrible scrape, and in the end they sold the young and strong as slaves.

The Red Dragon Army's property plundered from the occupied county is about 3 million kronor. This is the richer part of the central local county. The second is that the Hicks who have trusted in them have made trouble for the locals and increased their targeting of local people. Taxation efforts. If the Red Dragon Army wants to obtain continuous tax revenue from these occupied local counties, it must be stationed everywhere to intimidate and deter the people from resisting the occupation of the new conquerors.

Three occupied central local counties, each with about a dozen towns. If a town needs a battalion, and a local county capital city even needs a main field army to be stationed, then the Red Dragon Army has more than 60,000 men and one point, and it turns out that it has no more mobile troops. This time the Red Dragon Army was in a hurry. The capture of a local county had a profit of two or three million kronor, and it immediately asked the kingdom's native troops to be stationed in their place so that they could continue to attack other local counties.

The second thing is the railway. The original plan was to build a railway in the kingdom, like a circle, covering all the counties in the plains to Wangdu, and then build a railway from Wangdu to the Naseli area to reach Bolivi. King West Asia, then separate two railway lines from King City, one to Beibu Gulf, then to Kansas Prairie to Eskilin, then to Rimodera, and then to Seedings. The other railway line runs from the royal city of Polynesia to the Seedings area, and is connected to the railway line that passes through the three areas ...

The plan is very good, that is, the cost of this railway line was underestimated. At that time, the Prime Minister Blanchard thought that it would take 22 million crowns to complete the planning and construction of the entire railway line. As a result, after two years of surveying, mapping and construction budget of the entire railway line, it was found that the money was only enough to build the railway line of the Kingdom and the railway construction from the capital to the royal city of Bolivia.

The remaining railway line that detours more than half of the eastern region has a construction cost of at least 30 million kronor, so Wang Ting puts his mind on the overseas dominion, anyway, they think that the autonomous region ’s strategy this time The Hicks Kingdom made a fortune, some with money. Therefore, Prime Minister Blanchard came to persuade Claude this time and asked him to agree that the autonomous region would invest the seizure of the Hicks Kingdom into the construction of this railway line. The kingdom is willing to share the revenue of this railway line with the overseas autonomous territory. ...

The third thing is the lease. Wang Du heard that overseas dominions spent huge sums of money to lease Port Karakla from the Kingdom of Breot. The total rent for 50 years reached 5.6 million Krona, and it was paid in one lump sum. , Is simply a heart-breaking behavior.

Then the Ministers of the Imperial Court started their brains and thought that they could draw the calabash. Anyway, the Rimodera region and the Eskilin region are now entrusted to the autonomous region. These two regions also have seven or eight seaport cities, which can be modeled on the lease of Port Patkala and these seaport cities can be leased to overseas. Dominion, the rent alone is worth the total tax revenue of the kingdom for ten years ...
