Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 407: The World Changes Fast

The generals of theatre commands, including Claude, had no idea what a crazy immigration wave they had created for the officers and soldiers of the Legion of Thunder and the Legion of Rock for Cromwell, Bering Ghana, a policy of immigration eligibility and personal property land replacement. Of course, the change was not significant in the next six months. Six months later, faced with the family members of the army and army, several generals in the war zone were wearing hard scalps and smiling faces. I can't tell you the bitterness...

In the case of the 100,000 families of demobilized soldiers under Amphiston, it is estimated that it would be good for an officer to bring back five or six immediate family members. Two legions of 130,000 generals throughout the war zone, on average, can only calculate about 450,000 family immigrants, which is shared between the two jurisdictions. That is not at all noticeable, and the construction of several towns can be accommodated.

It was just Claude that they had forgotten the changes in the situation, coupled with the appeal of the rich personal property to the poor in the kingdom, and that they had failed to specify that the relationship was limited to immediate family members in order to give families in many ranks the opportunity to drill hollows. When a grassroots veteran officer comes to register with 40 or 50 relatives, what uncle, cousin, cousin's kinship opens the registrar's eyes and even asks him, curiously, can you feed so many people with your hundred acres of small estate?

The retired officer replied that he was not afraid that, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to mix up even if he went to a public field to work as a part-timer. Bringing these miscellaneous relatives here is mainly to give them a chance. In two or three years, whether it's the Thunder Legion or the Rock Legion, they will definitely retire an old army. If they need to recruit new recruits, they can send their miscellaneous relatives to recruit. As long as they are recruited, not to mention the personal property of 30 acres of Liangtian, which is confirmed...

Not only does this retired officer think so, but many active grassroots officers think so, and those who didn't expect to be reminded by their own friends think so. In the end, even the soldiers of those regiments wrote to their families, and the Hoopers asked them to seize the opportunity. Combined with the economic downturn in the kingdom's native land, the death of old King Sterling X was succeeded by Prince Widreck II, whose whereabouts are unknown. It gave the kingdom itself the ominous feeling of a rainstorm, which eventually led to the largest wave of immigration in the history of the kingdom of Ovillas...

Six months later, nearly 23 million immigrants entered the five direct jurisdictions under the command of the theatre, causing the entire theatre to jump with chickens and dogs, and almost everyone was stunned by this huge wave of immigrants. At the same time, the changes brought about by the immigration of these two or three million people to the overseas jurisdictions have been dramatic, as exemplified by the fact that the offshore transport trade from Port Tyrsim to Port Patres to Port Vibato has become a very busy maritime corridor.

Now Claude is relaxed and his legs are healing. In addition to staying at the Viberon estate with his wife and children, the big guy Gemmy sometimes pushes his wheelchair to the empty space behind the estate, where the two of them compete for the accuracy of the revolver. Without aiming, how to shoot a bullet at a gun target with a feeling in your hand, the two people often get confused over who is aiming in secret...

The reason Claude and Big Grimes could waste the revolvers' copper shell bullets so wantonly is that Anna Ranch's first copper shell production line has been completed. This is a small, semi-automatic production line that employs the families of 10 legion soldiers, all female workers. Nearly nine to ten hours of production a day can complete the filling and inspection process of more than 12,000 revolver qualified copper shell bullets.

The completion of this copper-shell bullet production line means that large-scale mechanized production of revolvers can be put on schedule, while the development of long rifles can be said to continue normally. However, because Claude had given the royal production licenses for revolvers to the five major military industries of the old aristocratic family, even if he could carry out large-scale mechanized production of revolvers, sales could only be made in overseas territories and not returned to the royal territory.

General Bolognick and others, on the other hand, argued that such weapons as revolvers could not be sold in the private sector but could only be procured by the military. Limited to twelve Golden Krone revolvers, one copper-shell bullet and a silver tower, General Bolonik's toothache squeezed out a little military spending, placing a thousand revolvers, each revolver with an order of thirty rounds of copper-shell bullets. The revolvers were to be used first as rifles for school officers of the two regiments and their personal guards in order to ensure their physical safety and prevent further assassinations.

This has disappointed my sisters Anna and Lady Sonia very much, and they are too lazy to develop any mechanized large-scale production lines. It took two people a week to refine all the accessories for this thousand revolvers in the alchemy spell array and put them together. Of course, this is all rudimentary, no decorations whatsoever. Anyway, for the army, just use it, think about yourself or pay someone to help...

So Claude healed and ran to her sister's ranch to check on the progress of the long-armed rifle that she and Mrs. Sonia had developed, and was complained of by her sister Anna. My sister also wanted to make a fortune by customizing this revolver, but I didn't expect Zone Command to put down a small list of 1,000 revolvers.

Though profitable and earned over 7,000 gold kroner, the week was also very hard for the two of us. Moreover, if a large-scale mechanized production line for revolvers were to be designed, the profitability of this thousand revolvers might not be sufficient for the purchase of infrastructure and equipment for the production line, as well as for the cost of hiring labor.

Claude couldn't help it, and the battlefield command couldn't spare more military spending. Wang Du's side and the Royal Army Department have completely ignored the overseas territorial war zone. I only sent a text message last month, which means it's business as usual. It's best not to bother Wangdu's bosses. This is the most critical time in the kingdom...

Indeed, it is critical, as his entourage, led by Grand Prince Hansburg, suddenly appeared in three counties in the eastern part of the newly occupied territory, the former Principality of Eskirin, seizing command of the Blue Feather Regiment. A small, unbleeding mutiny led most of the senior officers of the Blue Feather Legion to be escorted back to Wangdu by their soldiers...

This is a precursor to the mutiny of Grand Prince Hansburg, whose messengers and persuaders are constantly rushing to the three newly occupied counties in the east in the hope of putting an end to the forthcoming military accident between the brothers. So for the powerful men of Wangdu, what is happening far from the overseas territories of the Nubian mainland is insignificant, so it would be very good to maintain the current situation first.

Military tensions faced by theatre commands are not in the five areas under theatre jurisdiction, but in the other three overseas areas. The three Overseas Territories of Tyrsim, Mormali and Arturas are outside the jurisdiction of the theatre headquarters and have their own Governors and Superintendents responsible for civil and military affairs. In response to the colonial war waged by the Kingdom of Hicks, the King assigned all taxes from the three jurisdictions to war zones for military purposes.

Today, the three jurisdictions are refusing to hand over taxes to theatre as military expenditures for the Legion of Thunder and the Legion of Rock, on the grounds that the port of Vibato has been seized and that the colonial war is over. Therefore, the taxes levied by the three jurisdictions are to be paid to the Kingdom's treasury and can no longer be handed over to the theatre for military expenditures. Military expenditures of second-line corps in various localities in peacetime are guaranteed by the Royal Ministry of the Army and cannot be collected from localities themselves.

This is actually an attempt by the governors of those three jurisdictions to make a profit from the tax revenues. The mountain emperors are far away, and they believe that the current situation in the kingdom does not allow them to overseas direct these small matters of chicken and garlic, and that the excuses and justifications they seek are very valid. For this colonial war, the tax revenues of all overseas jurisdictions were attributed to theatres of war as military expenditures for the five reinforced divisions.

The port of Vibato is now occupied by the Kingdom as the eighth overseas jurisdiction of the Kingdom, which means that there can be no further large-scale land war with the Kingdom of Hicks and that the Kingdom has won this colonial war. Now that the colonial war is over, the tax revenues of this direct jurisdiction under your jurisdiction need not be turned over to the war zone for military expenses, and can be collected and turned over to the treasury...

The three direct administrations of Tyrsim, Mormali and Atulás were not affected by the war, but rather, the three overseas administrations of Cromwell, Beringana and Robisto, which took a firm approach to clearing the wilderness during the war, relocated the majority of their inhabitants to the three direct administrations of Tyrsim, Mormali and Atulás, resulting in significant economic development. In terms of economic strength, these three jurisdictions are currently the best of all overseas jurisdictions for people's livelihoods and economic development.

Similarly, the annual taxes levied by the three jurisdictions have become the backbone of the largest portion of military expenditures in theatre. Now that the three jurisdictions are going to cut off this tax as military expenditures in theatre, let Acting Chief Commander Bolognick burn his eyebrows and rush to the three jurisdictions to negotiate.

When General Scully went to Anna Ranch to receive the 1,000 custom-made revolvers from the theatre, he did a little worse than Claude commented on General Bolognick. He shouldn't be in such a hurry to negotiate, because it seemed too tight in the war zone and the tax was easily blackmailed by those governors and governors. Now that the governors and governors of the three jurisdictions are able to withhold tax revenues from military spending in theatre despite orders from the Royal Army Ministry, theatre should send troops, not General Bolognick, in such a hurry...

General Skerry's fears became a reality, and when General Bolognick returned, it became clear that the tax had been withheld by the governors and governors of the three jurisdictions by 30 per cent, saying that it was spent on local public infrastructure in the three jurisdictions, and that the remaining 70 per cent was spent in the war zone. Fortunately, as a result of the occupation of the port of Vibato, the military costs lost can be covered from the seizure of local taxes in the territory under the jurisdiction of the port of Vibato, without worrying for the time being about the lack of military costs.

Between October of 590 Holy Light and April of 591 Holy Light, there have been enough events in history in the six months, both in the mainland of the Kingdom and in the overseas territories of the continent of Nubia, as well as in other countries of the Farea.

First, Sterling X, the old king of the kingdom of Orvillas, finally went to the kingdom of the gods of war after many years of bed, and the will left before his arrival stated that his successor's name was not the great prince of Hansburg, who had been acting for many years, but His Royal Highness, the second prince, who had always been regarded as a wandering dude. This result led to the great prince's angry escape from the king, and his whereabouts were unknown.

And the colonial war that took place on the Nubian continent, because the colonial legions of the Kingdom of Ovieras took over the only deep-water port of the Kingdom of Hicks on the continent, Port Vibato, so that the Kingdom of Hicks could no longer take up its foothold on the coast of the Nubian continent and could not be added to the inland colonies, with the consequence that the vast inland colonies of the Kingdom of Hicks were annexed by the silent encroachment of the newly founded Nikanca nation...

In the same year, the revolver, invented by the commander of one of his local second-line regiments, Claude, under the direct authority of the Overseas Nubicia of the Kingdom of Orvilas, was renamed a short revolver by the five major military industries of the Kingdom of Orvilas after obtaining production permits, and began to enter the firearms arena of the Farea mainland. With its distinctive gun design and uniqueness, it has earned the favor of countless dignitaries and has been hailed as the first choice for self-defense weapons.

Unfortunately, the five major military industries in the Kingdom of Orvillas did not promote the idea of such a short wheel, but simply made it into nobility and luxury goods in firearms to be given and sold as exquisite defensive weapons and gifts. Each reel is engraved with beautiful family patterns and gold and silver threads, and the lowest value reel is shortened by more than 100 gold kroner. Powerful figures and wealthy people from all over the continent have the goal of showcasing themselves to others with a beautiful spinning wheel...

In February of 591 Holy Lights, His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Unknown Kingdom of Ovilas suddenly appeared in the three counties of the eastern frontier, seizing command of the Blue Feather Legion of one of the King's Order Legions. The situation in the Kingdom soon became tense and seemed likely to erupt into a civil war in the Kingdom.

Compared to the big news brought by Grand Prince Hansburg, the battle over taxes and military spending in overseas jurisdictions seemed somewhat unexpected, and the war zone suffered a huge loss.

What struck the Farea continent even more in March was a self-guided play by King Machid III of the Kingdom of Hicks, which shocked the countries of the continent and refreshed their perceptions of the King's lower limit.

The reason for the incident was that the three Grey Tower magicians whom the Special Envoy had brought back to Wang Du were soon to reward King Machid III of the Kingdom of Hicks with the Grey Tower magician. The heavy sum of money demanded that the Grey Tower magician send personnel to the battle zone overseas under the direct jurisdiction of the mainland of Nubian. Several generals in the assassination zone were bound to plunge the colonial regiment of the Kingdom of Ovieras into civil strife and have no time to attack the port of Vibato to confess their intentions of procrastination, which gave rise to strong public opinion in the countries of the Farea mainland.

But King McGidd III of the Kingdom of Hicks was so thick that he claimed to have been blasphemed and wronged, that he had never offered any reward for hiring a Grey Tower magician to assassinate him, all of which was the kingdom of Ovilas pouring sewage on itself, and so on.

However, because of the corroborating evidence, public opinion is more inclined towards the Kingdom of Ovilas. Machid III then joined the envoys of the banquet in mid-March to reiterate that he had nothing to do with the assassination. Halfway through the feast, court guards came to report that envoys from the Kingdom of Ovilas had come to see them. It was very exciting and strange to hear that the ambassadors of the countries sitting here had sent envoys from the Kingdom of Ovilas. Besides, didn't the Kingdom of Hicks refuse to allow envoys from the Kingdom of Ovilas to enter?

It's just that the envoys of these two so-called kingdoms of Orvillas who appear before all of us behave very strangely, behaving not only like envoys, but knowing only to move forward, more than ten meters from Machid III, to take off the envoy robe, reveal the grey robe inside and launch a magical attack on Machid III!

According to the description of others by one of the envoys present, Machid III did not know how many magical defensive spells were masked, and the light emitted when colliding with the attack spell did not know how many of the envoys present were blinded. Those two grey robe magicians posing as envoys were captured on the spot and immediately admitted that the great prince and second prince of the kingdom of Orvilas hired them to assassinate Machid III...

Unfortunately, Sterling X is dead, Machid III can only dump this pot on two princes, forgetting two princes at this moment sword draw crossbow, is preparing for a battle for the throne, how could he conspire to assassinate the King of the Kingdom of Hicks...

Besides, the two assassins were unprofessional. Instead of pretending to be grey tower magicians, they came to the door to seek arrest. Many of the envoys present saw the cat tired, and watched Mei Jie De III perform a good play of thief screaming to catch thieves. Since then, they have gained a deeper understanding of the king's lower limit.

After the scene of the assassination reached the kingdom of Ovilas, the Prime Minister of the kingdom, Duke Duncan, was said to have been exhaled with blood by the shameless breath of Machid III. Only now the kingdom is facing the outbreak of a new civil war. In order to settle the dispute between the two princes, the kingdom is temporarily powerless to compare these...
