Chapter 578 The West Coast Colony Situation
"You embarrass our Majesty this time ..." Speaker Bennett said in the first sentence when he met Claude in the capital of Kansas, the Gulf of Northern Gulf. .
It was really embarrassing. At the grand celebration of the successful completion of the Hicks Kingdom Raiders held by His Majesty King Frederick I of the Kingdom of Ovilas, none of the founding members of the Autonomous Leadership Region attended the ceremony. The officers and men of the Red Dragon Regiment who have been to the Hicks Kingdom and defended in those places have to fill up. Speaker Bennett attended the celebration. He said that His Majesty the King had a shameful face and a smile on his face.
Claude had now returned to the Northern Gulf Territory of the Overseas Dominion, and General Scree built a Field family estate for him by the seaside of the capital, Campastre, facing the sea and blooming in spring. So Claude lived in the name of recuperating and let himself rest. And Speaker Bennett ended his official duties and trips in the capital, and also visited Claude here, and brought some gifts to Claude by the way.
The aristocratic court heard the verdict, the receipt of the receipt, and the proof of the separation of blood relatives. Now Crowd is the owner of the Han Field family. What made Crowd unexpected was that Speaker Bennett had bought the White House mansion in White Hart City and passed it on to him as a gift. This is the ancestral product, and Claude had to accept the favor of Speaker Bennett.
It was only that Claude did not expect that her mother would sell the mansion. It seems that she and Albert had made up their minds not to return to White Hart City. Here, he vocally said that he would not forget the merits and honors that his dead father, Mr. Morsan, had set for the family, but even the White Deer City and the ancestors where his father's graveyard had been given up were unpredictable. .....
After a half-month recuperation in Beibu Bay, Prime Minister Blanchard came to visit again, this time he brought official business. Although Claude and the officers and men of the autonomous region refused to attend the celebration ceremony held by His Majesty the King in the Capital City, the promotion and honours to be given were still required. It seems that Frederick I was holding the nose to approve the list of meritorious officers submitted by Claude, and Claude was still promoted to hereditary marquis of the kingdom.
Only three people were promoted to the General Command this time. Colonel Bokal played a great role in the Hicks Kingdom strategy and was promoted to Major-General of the Kingdom because of Claude's support. The two senior officers promoted with him were the newly formed Colonel Officer of the Stormwind Corps, which was also promoted to Major-General of the Kingdom.
Compared with the promotion of the ranks, Frederick I was very generous in the conferring of the ranks. Eleven senior officers in the autonomous region were promoted to the honorary baron of the kingdom this time. Come up and make a fortune. Compared to those senior generals who have been promoted to hereditary knighthood and obtained family territories, in addition to Claude, they are also three generals, including Abbot, General Belklin and General Diavid, from the hereditary baron. Promoted to hereditary Viscount, the family territory has also been expanded, but the land selection fee still needs to be paid.
For example, Claude was originally a hereditary Count of the Kingdom. This time, her promotion to hereditary Marquis almost doubled her family territory. However, because Claude did not attend the celebration ceremony under the pretext of healing, it was difficult for Her Majesty to step down from the stage. Therefore, the family territories conferred by the promotion of his title were arranged by His Majesty in the Nasseri area, and in the North Bay Territory is more than 600 miles away. If Claude wants to merge two family territories together, then he must go to the king to pay the land selection fee ...
However, the autonomous region has learned a lot from the Hicks Kingdom, and it does not mind that it will give His Majesty a bit of sweetness in this regard. And responsible for these matters was naturally Speaker Bennett. He packed and saluted again, took a battalion of guard soldiers, and escorted nearly six million gold crowns of gold and silver property to the king to negotiate. It was soon reported from the capital that the family territories of the overseas dominions of the Kanas region had once again expanded a large area, and General Scree was busy again.
When the ocean-going cruise fleet under the Dominion Commander Region arrived again to transport military immigrants to the Dominion Overseas, Claude also boarded the ship and prepared to return. The main focus of the Dominion Area was then on the West Coast colonies. The progress of the implementation of the wildfire plan was very slow due to the increased vigilance and alert of the colonial countries.
As reported by General Beechkline, although the Pamigarians and Russmans, with the help of the Volunteer Corps of the Autonomous Territory, have once again eliminated the Kingdom of Morosík, the Kingdom of Resnia Three Kingdoms Expeditionary Force. But it is also facing the crisis of invasion by several other colonial countries on the West Coast. Today, the Pamiral National Republic and the newly formed Rusman Chief Union need almost everything from the Autonomous Territory, which has become a huge economic and military burden for the Autonomous Territory ...
In April 6606 of the Holy Light, Claude returned to Lanhu City, the capital of the overseas dominion. Regardless of the manor sheila last time, Claude held a military meeting in the autonomous region to learn about the implementation of the wildfire plan, as well as the situation and various assistance issues on the West Coast Pamigar National Republic and the Rusman Union .
General Beechklin believes that at present, the form of colonies in the West Coast countries has changed greatly, and the wildfire plan needs to be changed according to the situation. The biggest problem is that the Pamigar National Republic has been involved in war for three consecutive years since its establishment, and the casualties have been extremely severe. This has to some extent deterred those indigenous peoples in other colonies. Many indigenous peoples who are preparing to respond to the riots and establish an independent state to expel the colonists are silent, watching the success or failure of the two independent nations.
At that time, the wildfire plan formulated by General Bokal was to set off a wave of national liberation and independence in the entire West Coast colonies, so that eight colonial nations along the southern coast of Valrea had lost sight of each other. They were unable to suppress the riots of the indigenous peoples in the colonies and resist overseas autonomous territories. The military assistance of the colonial indigenous nations finally enabled the indigenous nations of the eight West Coast colonies to be liberated and to establish all nation states.
It is just that the armed uprisings of the Pamigarians and the riots of the Rusmans have alerted the colonial authorities of the remaining West Coast countries. They have transported a large number of troops from their own kingdoms and imposed severe blockades and vigilance on the borders of the colonies. The spies dispatched by the autonomous region have become extremely difficult to communicate with the indigenous peoples of the various colonies. Even the weapons and armament supplies to assist these indigenous peoples cannot be transported ...
Indigenous peoples in several colonies originally had plans for riots, and all of them died out for this reason. Then came the two expeditionary wars waged by the Duchy of Morosík and Resniya, and the Duchy of Vasilico to regain their colonies. Although the Pamigaran and the Rusmans won with the support of the Autonomous Military Command, the three-year war caused the two indigenous peoples to lose nearly a million young people, which scared other colonies. Of those indigenous peoples, they are not willing to pay such a large price for independence.
The only good news is that the two army expeditions of the Kingdom of Morosík, Resnyna, and the Duchy of Vasilik did not give the rest of the colonial nations on the West Coast the fear, even if they had gathered two or three standing legions. People are willing to be the first to attempt to invade these two indigenous nation states, fearing that their military operations will also fail. Because of mutual alertness and provocation, the situation maintains a delicate balance.
The Kingdom of Morosík and the Duchy of Vasilico have completely withdrawn from the west coast of the mainland of Nubísia due to the failure of two expeditions. Only the Kingdom of Resnia has remained a colony on the west coast and has survived. However, the problem it faces now is not that the indigenous peoples in another colony will also riot, but that the failure of two expeditions has caused the Kingdom of Resnia to lose most of its military strength and self-protection ability. The two colonial countries around it Has turned his greedy eyes on its only remaining colony ...
Perhaps for the colonies of the Kingdom of Kamanlain and the Principality of the State of Relioro around the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia, it suffered significant losses from the resistance of the indigenous peoples to its attacks on the Pamigar and the Rusman Union. It is more cost-effective to procure a colonial war with the Kingdom of Resnya. Anyway, the Kingdom of Resniya is now an exhausted dog, and can be defeated without any effort, and this colony is contained in a pocket.
Therefore, the border disputes between the three nations have continued in recent times, and several armed conflicts are said to have occurred. Even though the Kingdom of Ressonia has been swallowing its voice, the colonial authorities have repeatedly called on all countries to join forces to counter the threat of indigenous riots to achieve national liberation and independence. , Their two countries now only have a reasonable excuse to fight the colony of Rusnia ...
Because of the ambiguity of the colonies of the Kingdom of Camanlein and the Principality of Rerioro, and the remaining Opsaro city-state alliance, the three countries of the Principality of Feldro and the United Kingdom of Falkos lost their own attack on Pamigar. The desire of the National Republic and the Rusman Chiefs Alliance can only watch the development of the situation.
In particular, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands has the largest number of colonies on the west coast. Even if it loses the Rodkes Bay colony occupied by the Autonomous Territory, there are three colonies of varying sizes. These three colonies are not connected to each other, and the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands is a powerful naval fleet rather than a land army. Now each of the three colonies has a patchwork garrison to guard the indigenous people in the colony ..... .
Currently the most nervous is the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands. It is most worried that the colonies of the Kingdom of Kamanlein and the Principality of Relioro will wage war on the remaining colony of the Kingdom of Resnia, so it is likely to be involved in In the storm over the colony. After all, its three colonies have very weak garrison forces. Only one garrison with low combat effectiveness is not an opponent of two or three standing corps adjacent to those colonies.
Fortunately, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands has a very powerful navy. Seriously speaking, it is least worried about the riots of the indigenous peoples in the colonies. Because the indigenous peoples in their colonies have been deeply influenced by the settlers of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands for more than a century, they call themselves the Lanstorbock, meaning the darling of the sea and the warriors in the waves. They are good at fishing and diving in the sea. Therefore, the four naval fleets of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands have absorbed many Lanstorbuks into the army as sailors, and the treatment of the indigenous peoples in the colonies is not bad.
It is a long sea journey from the land of Fareia to the land of Nubia. It is the place where the four naval fleets of the Fox Islands Kingdom shine. Its four colonies on the west coast have not been embroiled in colonial wars for nearly a hundred years and are also blessed by the powerful maritime fleet. Because even if the colony is occupied by another country, the naval war and blockade initiated by the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands will be able to restore all the disadvantages. In the end, the country that provoked the war had to return the occupied colony to the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands. .
But with the advent of naval iron armored warships in the Overseas Autonomous Command, the sailing ocean-going warships became outdated overnight. Even though the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands already has four powerful maritime fleets, it has fallen to the same level as other countries. In the years when all coastal nations have invested heavily in developing armored warships, the greatest weakness of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands has been exposed to others. That is, as an archipelago country, its kingdom does not have rich mineral resources and advanced ironmaking technology ...
The United Kingdom of the Fox Islands has always been disadvantaged in ironmaking and forging technology compared with the rest of the southern part of the Faroe continent, which can be seen in the backward-fired rifle guns equipped by its army. Therefore, the Autonomous Military Command sold the Hicks kingdom muskets to the colonial officials of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands at a low price, which made them very happy. They emptied the vaults of the colonial banks and ate a lot of weapons and equipment ... ..
Two years ago, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands sent a special envoy to the overseas self-governing territories to contact them, hoping to buy an ironclad warship from the self-governing military command area to do research. Just as the Navy's Admiral, General Murray spoke very scornfully to the envoy, meaning that they could not imitate the armored warships when they bought them back, and their kingdom simply did not have those needed to make the armored warships. Refining, forging, welding and other industrial basic technologies, even the simplest fire engines and steam engines cannot be copied.
And in the past two years, the development of iron armored warships in other coastal countries has progressed, and even two countries have manufactured ocean-going warships covered with copper armor, which also use marine steam engines for power. Although it is far inferior to the iron armored warships of the Navy of the Autonomous Leadership Region, after all, it can be regarded as a bright prospect and hope. Compared with those wooden sailing ocean warships, the combat power has exceeded a large section.
Therefore, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands is also very clear that once a coastal country has created an ironclad warship like an overseas dominion, then its navy power will change its crown. If it cannot become a maritime power, then the remaining three colonies on the west coast of the mainland of Nubia will not be able to maintain it.
However, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands lacked the resources and production technology in the United Kingdom. In the face of such a dilemma, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands decided to invest in one of the colonies named Mount Vedes. This colony is mostly hills and has some good metal mineral resources. It can develop into a large-scale mineral refining and production base. The United Kingdom of the Fox Islands decided to purchase technology and recruit technicians from the mainland to build this colony into a production and research facility. Naval naval base of an iron armoured battleship.
This is why the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands is most afraid of the outbreak of colonial wars in the rest of the colonial nations, fearing that it will disrupt its colonial construction plans. Therefore, it strives to make synergy among the colonial nations, so that the nations will once again turn their attention to the Pamigar National Republic and the newly formed Union of Rusman Chiefs. At the same time, using his own kingdom's currently strong naval fleet to threaten those colonial nations, whoever provoked a colonial war will face his maritime blockade and declaration of war ...
General Beechklin spoke at a military conference. He believes that the best way now is to provoke the colonial wars in those colonial countries and let the army that they have accumulated in each colony kill each other and consume each other until they are exhausted. Whenever possible, the Autonomous Leadership Zone will come out and pick up the bargains. This is the ideal situation. That way, the goal of the wildfire plan can be accomplished without any effort, so that the indigenous peoples in the colonies of all countries can be liberated and independent.
However, the biggest impact and unfavorable situation at present is that the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands stalks it. With its existence and the threat of maritime fleets, there will be no war in the colonial countries on the west coast. The best way is to destroy the maritime fleet of the Fox Kingdom first. Without the threat of its four maritime fleets, colonial wars will definitely erupt, and even the three colonies of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands will become targets of annexation by other countries. ....
The problem is that the Autonomous Territory has no way to destroy the maritime fleet of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands, no name and no excuse. In particular, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands also surrendered the Rodex Bay Colony to overseas dominions, and maintained friendly relations with overseas dominions. It also hoped to purchase ironclad warship production technology from the autonomous region at high prices.
Under such circumstances, the autonomous region is also embarrassed to launch an attack on it for no reason. After all, the autonomous region also has a well-known division and needs a little face. In the West Coast Colonial War, land can be used in the name of the Volunteer Corps, which can be disguised. But at sea, you ca n’t talk nonsense with your eyes open, and insist that the Iron Armored Fleet is also a voluntary fleet. It ’s really impossible to explain ...
"Have you considered using pirates to attack the maritime fleet of the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands?" General Bokal stood up and said.
