MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 537 Wildfire Project
Chapter 537 Wildfire Plan
After more than two years, Claude finally returned to Lanhu City. It was just not far from the city, and it was dark, and Colonel Mason Hughes stepped forward to ask Claude to return to that home. Claude thought about it and decided to go to the Coventry Manor in the western suburbs first. That was his love nest with Sheila. Sheila's real name was Hirilati Cowen Belem, and when Claude built the estate, she was named after Sheila's last name, which also meant that the estate was Sheila's private property.
In the first half of last year, he commissioned Sheila to **** the property collected in the kingdom of Nasiri to the overseas dominion. After that, she did not return to the land of Farrea, but stayed in the manor to study the magic books collected by the royal family from the Nasiri royal family And scroll. She was more casual, followed Claude to the eastern part of the Faroe continent for nearly a year, and wanted to return to her estate. Claude had to let her return to the overseas dominion in the name of **** property.
After arriving at the manor, Sheila was very surprised. He was busy arranging Claude's party to eat, drink and wash, and spent a warm night with Claude, so Claude eliminated the fatigue and fatigue of long-distance travel. But Crowd got up early the next day. He was going to the military headquarters today. Colonel Bokal had waited for three days.
The left-behind officers at the headquarters of the autonomous region found that Claude's arrival was very exciting. After all, the five giants of the autonomous region ran to the kingdom's homeland, and no one dared to take the initiative. Just like the eight-nation colonies on the west coast expelled overseas dominions and merchants, the remaining officers in the autonomous region do not know how to respond. Now that Claude is back, almost everyone feels the backbone, and his mind is calm down.
With a smile and greetings to the left-behind officers who saluted themselves, Crowder returned to his office. It has been cleaned and cleaned by people. It is very clean and free of dust. Touching the back of the table and chair with his hands with white gloves, he found that the gloves were still as white as new, and Claude nodded with satisfaction, removed the outer cloak and handed it to Mason Hughes, and said briefly: "Please ask the Ministry of Intelligence Colonel Bokal comes ... "
After coming back to Patras Military Port this time, Claude sent a hawk-mail message to the headquarters of the military region, asking them to notify the military headquarters of Colonel Bokal and wait for his arrival at the headquarters of the military region. Have all the information on the West Coast colonies ready for his inquiry. Obviously, Claude is preparing to respond to the embargo imposed by the West Coast colonies on overseas dominions.
But Claude did not expect to stay in Port Patras for four more days, and did not return to Lanhu City for the first time. The reason was simple. He and General Iron Murder Admiral Murray found Master Byrd to discuss the supply of sixteen iron armored warships to the kingdom. Although there are plans to prepare and deliver the first-generation finalized armored warships to the kingdom after renovation and decoration, this requires a field visit to explore what should be dismantled and how to decorate them into new warships. This took only three days. Time, and then was dragged by Master Bird to discuss the technical issues of the day ...
Although Claude's current level is far less than that of the master Gabbard, but no matter how much information he has seen in previous life, he has seen a lot of things. Sometimes an inadvertent word can cause Master Bird and the rest of the technical staff to think and realize, and even Claude was entangled by Master Bird and others for a day, and finally ran back sweating.
It was just this delay that Colonel Bokal waited for three days in the military headquarters. So in the past three days, Claude kept sneezing. Obviously, Colonel Bokal who hadn't arrived for three days must be deeply grieved, and no wonder he muttered behind him ...
Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes went out less than two minutes, and Colonel Bokal broke into Crowd's office with a lot of information. That is, Colonel Bokal, who was a young friend of Claude, would be so natural in front of Claude. Generally speaking, Claude has now become the Marshal of the Kingdom. Other officers saw Claude without respect and respect. . In other words, Colonel Bokal doesn't care about Claude's rank, so what ...
Watching Colonel Bokal put down his documents on his desk, he turned to the wine cabinet to find a good wine to taste. Claude could only shake his head, and there was nothing he could do about Bokal's obsession. With a dip pen in his hand, he knocked on the wine glass in front of him, and Claude said, "Sorry, Boa, you haven't returned to the kingdom with me this time, otherwise the rank of a general and the hereditary baron of the kingdom will not run you. of."
Colonel Bokal did not follow the expedition this time. Instead, he stayed in the overseas dominion and was responsible for the smuggling business of the West Coast colonies, as well as those underground trades of the bison firm. In addition, the commercial trade with the Nicaravian country was also his. management. Anyway, Colonel Bokal said that he likes to do business and he doesn't like to go to the battlefield, so the headquarters of the military region gave him everything that could not be publicly announced ...
"You know, Claude, I'm not interested in those." Bokal finally found a bottle of fruit wine to his satisfaction, took a cup, opened the lid, and drank: "In fact, we all have I am very satisfied with the living environment of the overseas dominion, and do not want to return to the kingdom. My father was full of sorrow when he left. Now, he is full of energy and is working hard to open up the family business network and door in the overseas dominion.
Claude didn't care about calling his own name to his teenage friends. He took a look at this information and said, "Yes, the ban on trade imposed by our eight-nation colony on our overseas dominions has also been in place for four months. Right, what's going on there? "
Bokal drank the fruit wine from the cup, put the cup on the coffee table, his face turned completely, and came to the desk. He knew very well that Crowd was going to discuss the matter with himself.
"How to say it, very strict, very strict. There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people who are punished for carrying prohibited items. Most of them are small merchants who walk on the streets. They are not smugglers. The smugglers took the goods for sale, but they were caught by the patrols, and then they fell into bad mold. Let's say that now, as long as the pedestrians who carry the goods and goods produced by our autonomous territory are found, they will be arrested.
For local officials in the West Coast colonies, this business ban on our Dominion is actually a good opportunity to make a fortune. They first fined the arrested prisoners and then sentenced them to forced labor. Those who have no money will be sentenced for a few more years. If they have money, they will see how much they have made. The more money they give, the lighter they will be. If they are fed, they only need to stay overnight in the patrol cell to be released. "Bokal sat down in a chair in front of the desk.
Claude pointed to the fruit wine and glass on the coffee table: "You can bring it here, let's talk as we drink, and we'll get another bottle when we're done."
Bokal shook his head: "What's going on today is business, and we will drink again."
"Okay." Claude nodded. "Then you tell me what the ban is, and which country took the lead?"
Bokal found a blue-covered folder from a large pile of information on the desk and handed it to Claude: "In fact, as we have analyzed, the West Coast Eight Colonies because of our self-governing domestic commodities and The smuggling of various goods has made them all dumping places for our goods and goods in our overseas dominion.
Just like the branches of the self-governing territories' commercial banks in the eight-nation colony on the west coast, even though they are all in compliance with the law and pay taxes on time, they have actually touched the gains of the eight countries in the southern part of the Faria continent. Dominion businesses buy property there at a higher price than merchants in their kingdom. We sell goods cheaper and better than merchants in their kingdom, and the businesses we run there are free to exchange banknotes ... ..
As our Overseas Dominion defeated the Hicks Kingdom in the last colonial war and annihilated the strength of more than a dozen standing legions, the eight-nation colony on the West Coast was very dissatisfied with our dumping of goods to them, but it was only a mouthful. It is just to protest, and dare not use force against us or threaten war. They can only increase the types of prohibited trade and clearance inspections of goods exported by our Dominion.
The other thing is that the goods that our autonomous territory sells to them through normal channels are not prohibited goods that they are prohibited from entering the customs, so they have no excuse to sever business with us, and our autonomous business bank opens branches to the West Coast G8 colonies. When purchasing local products or selling self-produced goods, taxes and fees are paid in accordance with regulations, so that these colonial local governments can't catch our business.
The smuggling businessmen in various colonies are mainly rampant, as long as the daily necessities produced by our autonomous territory are smuggled in the past. Compared with the goods and goods shipped by the eight colonies from the oceans of their respective countries, the goods produced by our self-governing territories are more competitive in terms of price, quality, and style. Eventually, the eight coast colonies on the west coast cannot sell their respective home countries. Goods, warehouses are full of these slow-moving goods.
A businessman in the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands broke his business for this, and he committed suicide by committing himself to the sea. After the incident broke out, businessmen in the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands complained to their own king, and the king sent a special envoy to visit the remaining seven countries in the south to unify their positions. This led to the decision to implement a trade ban in the eight West Coast colonies against our overseas dominions. , Strictly prohibit smuggling, and no longer let their colonies become dumping grounds for our overseas dominions ... "
Claude opened the blue cover folder, which contained a relatively thick personnel file. Each page was a person's information, which recorded the colony from which the person came from, name and age, family members, personal assets, and purchase channels. And sales performance. Claude looked at it for a while, and after turning a few pages, put the blue cover on the desk: "These are the smugglers you choose? They are all Nikancha ..."
"No, they are not Nikanchas." Bok'ar shook his head. "If they hear you call them Nikanchas, then they will come to you for a life and death duel. Tell them that Nikanchas are an insult What they call, they claim to be Pamigar ... "
"Pamigar? What's the difference? They're all mixed races ..." Claude disagreed.
"Although they are all mixed race, they have lighter skin than the Nikancha people." Bokal said so much that he began to feel thirsty, so he got up and went to the coffee table and took the bottle of wine and glass he had opened. Come over: "The West Coast is different from our overseas dominion. The colonies there have been two hundred years old. It is normal for the Nikancha people to pass through mixed blood, and their skin tone is normal. In addition, after a long period of training, many lazy habits also Has been changed.
At the same time, the quality of these Pamigars is better than that of the Nikancha people. At least they will learn, will work hard to make money, and, like us, have a sense of responsibility to their families. If you come into contact with them, you will find that they are indeed not the same race as the Nikancha. Just as their native language refers to themselves as Pamigars, Pamigars mean people who are civilized, honest, reputable, and not afraid of danger. "
"They're all Pamigars?" Claude pointed to the blue-covered folder.
Bokal took a few sips of fruit wine, lowered his glass, and shook his head: "No, the Pamigars are just what they call themselves. The colonial history of more than two hundred years has made them all recognize the identity of their colonial country, and they have also inherited Historical contradictions and disputes between nations.
For example, these half-breeders in several colonies in the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands claim to be Lanstorbike, meaning the darling of the sea and the warriors in the waves. They are good at fishing and diving in the sea.
The mestizos of the kingdom of the Resneya colonies call themselves Rusmans, meaning herders, or cattlemen. The half-breeds of the Principality of Rerioro call themselves Djiboutians, meaning runaways, chasers of light, and they worship Vulcan. Only half-breeds from the Kingdom of Morosík and the Principality of Federico claim to be Pamigar.
In addition, the mixed races in the Duchy of Vasilico, the Kingdom of Kamanlein, and the Opsaro City-State Alliance have several titles, unlike the mixed races in the colonies of the five countries.
What is interesting is that, like the Principality of Rerioro and the Opsaro City-State Alliance, there have been grievances. There have been seven wars in the two countries in history, which are called in the history books as the Seven Hundred Years' War. The people of the two countries are hostile to each other. As a result, the mixed race in the colony also inherited this grudge. Both sides looked down on each other ...
The territorial conflict between the Kingdom of Resnea and the Kingdom of Kamanlain also occurred in the colony. As a result, the Rusmans in the Kingdom of Resniaha hated the Doramana and Malcha in the Kingdom of Kamanlain. Lin people.
It is said that the Marchalins of the Kingdom of Kamanlain once rushed into the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia and burned and looted, creating a massacre of tens of thousands of Rusmans. Then the Rusmans on the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia carried out revenge, but they found the wrong object and rubbed the Doramaanas on the ground. The three nations fell into revenge. ... "
"It's complicated ..." Claude sighed.
"It's true." Bokal nodded in agreement, and poured himself a glass of fruit wine. "In fact, I personally think that many of the ethnic disputes created by the colonists deliberately instigated them. In fact, they are all of the same race. It was as if the colonists had scornfully called them all Nikancha.
The smuggler candidates in this blue folder belong to the head-and-face, full-faced guys in the G8 colonies on the west coast. They are rich and powerful, and have a high reputation locally. Except that their skin color is different from ours, the rest are no different. The most important thing is that they are more ambitious, hoping to enable their national independence and liberation ...
The West Coast colonies adopted a more discriminatory attitude towards these mixed ethnic groups. Like Tezsinger Nora Taganem on the first page, he was sent back to the Kingdom of Morosík by his own father when he was young, but was discriminated because of his skin color. . His father was a little aristocracy, and after his death he inherited all the possessions and titles.
He was also regarded as a local celebrity in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosík, but was nicknamed a mixed-race baron, sometimes called a hybrid baron, and was deeply excluded. Therefore, he wanted to establish an independent Pamigarian country, and this was a smuggling of money, with the intention of organizing private armed forces. I was asked if the Dominion can support his nation-building plan, hoping that we will provide him with weapons and send military instructors to let him form an armed force sufficient to eliminate the colonial garrison ... "
"Are all the smugglers in this folder such ambitions?" Claude asked.
"Some are, some are not." Bolognik thought for a while before answering: "Tez Singh Nora Taganem was the only smuggler who asked me about the founding of an independent nation. I didn't really know him then, only I could decline it politely, but then I sent someone to secretly investigate his life and personal experience, and found that he was the most suitable candidate, which put him on the first page.
Some of the latter candidates were due to personal grudges, some were due to family hatred, and some were ambitious adventurers. I'm not sure where they will eventually go. However, it can be confirmed that they are all mixed races, and they hate the status quo of the colonies. They all have dreams of changing the world.
That's why I selected them all and made them the target of this wildfire plan. I believe that if they are given assistance in the field of weapons and military affairs, they will be able to set off a wave of national liberation and independence in the West Coast colonies. The eight countries that can toss even if they are unsuccessful can't afford to take care of themselves, and they can no longer impose any business embargo on our Dominion. "
Claude got up, walked around the office, thinking with his head down for a while, then said to Bokal: "The wildfire plan will be left to you. I will give Blowick's Spike The brigade sends you to cooperate with your work and to protect your safety.
I can meet all your needs for armament supplies and funding personnel, but I don't want this wildfire plan to shine for a moment. I hope to see these colonies on the West Coast truly liberate and establish their country. Only then can our Dominion be most beneficial ... "
