Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 543: Forest Yard Litigation

“... from the town of Monkenade in Port Vibato, commonly known as the Silver Fort, to the Nikanca Nation, to its inland borders, there is already a road that leads to a four-wheeled wagon. It took the Nikanchas four years to build this road, or they would not be able to transport the gold and silver mines they had mined outside to trade with us, nor would they be able to transport the goods they traded from us to their hinterland colonies...

We can borrow this road from the city of Monknade to the inland borders of the Nikanca Nation, but by the time we reach the Lomonkdo Mountain border, we will have to follow the trail in a way that carries cargo. There's no access to a four-wheeler wagon unless we mobilize our own manpower to build it. As for the Nikanchas, it was best not to hope for them, who were too lazy to ask them to repair the roads in order to find guilt for themselves.

So if you want to continue to build an access road to the interior of the West Coast colonies, it would be better to hire additional personnel and labour yourself instead of recruiting the Nikancas locally, or it will be built in ten or eight years. We have reached an agreement between our autonomous military region and the Nikanca nation that we will pay for the passage of goods from the inland avenues they have built, one thousandth of the total value of the goods as customs expenses... "

Head of Military Intelligence, Fordless. General Wei Clydler has taken over with Andros. Congressman Lee Joyst's talks, he is presenting in detail the so-called secret overland corridor. Instead of not wanting to take control of the secret passage, the military region does not have a budget for spending on the construction of the secret passage, which is too costly to use as a horse for the transport of goods along the trail, which takes up at least half of the amount of goods.

It would therefore be desirable to find a partner willing to pay for the enormous cost of road repairs in order to achieve the wildfire programme through this clandestine land corridor to the colonies of the West Coast countries. Endocross. Councillor Lee Joyce became the first, so that the councillor could understand the gains and losses at the outset and should do so immediately.

Endocross. Councillor Joyce was well aware that, while the secret overland corridor entailed enormous expenses for the construction of roads that would allow the passage of four-wheeled wagons, it also required the hiring of road repairers and young labourers in the Overseas Autonomous Territories, as well as the completion of the delivery of goods by the Autonomous Territories. But at this point in the extinction of offshore smugglers, there is this secret passage on land that masters a golden path of tremendous wealth.

While maritime smuggling was inland, the colonies of the countries of the West Coast focused their attention on the coastal zone, ignoring their inland borders. So, Endocross. Councillor Lee Joyce argued that transporting commodities from autonomous territories through this clandestine land corridor to the colonies of the West Coast countries would be tantamount to restoring the boom of the offshore smuggling trade...

Endocross. Rep. Joyce left the military zone headquarters with confidence and returned to gather personnel to prepare for a trip to the Nikancha country to explore this clandestine smuggling corridor. He will be fully assisted and escorted by members of the Military Intelligence Department in the hope that an arms shipment will be collected and sent to the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik as soon as possible.

Claude is in the process of convening a meeting to discuss plans for the next military reunification of the Autonomous Territory. The Overseas Autonomous Territories had 22 local guard corps based in the Autonomous Territories. However, eight local guard corps have been redeployed to the eastern part of the Farea continent, and there are currently 14 local guard corps attached to the autonomous territorial military region, each with a strength of 5,500 horses.

The operative of this whole army plan is General McJackie, who will lead the redeployment of personnel from the various branches of the military sector headquarters to reorganize and reconstitute the local guard corps in the Autonomous Territories. Phasing out the old and weak, decommissioning the out-of-service guard corps, regrouping the 14 local guard corps into a regimental strength of 3,500, and reducing military expenditures in peacetime, as was the case with the latest establishment of two regular corps under the military zone.

Claude also stated at the meeting, however, that the ultimate objective of the autonomous territorial military region was for the entire Overseas Autonomous Territory to have twenty local guard corps of 3,500 men and horses to perform the day-to-day tasks of guarding the autonomous territory. The fourteen local guard corps currently retained by the Autonomous Territories are currently being restructured, while the eight local guard corps and two regular corps units redeployed to the eastern part of the Farea continent need to be restructured separately pending completion of the restructuring mission on the part of the Overseas Autonomous Territories.

The difficulty in integrating the 14 local guard corps under this autonomous territory is that 2,000 horses are to be eliminated from each corps. Not every local guard corps has so many people to eliminate, so Claude instructed that the excess force be brought back to Langhu City Military District. Joining more than 10,000 people left behind from the last integration of the third division of the Rock Regiment, it was reconstituted into six temporary guard regiments and sent to the Nikanca State as a garrison guarding that inland avenue, so that the autonomous military region would not be looted by the Nikancas for supplies destined for wildfire schemes in the colonies of the West Coast countries.

Over the next two months, the headquarters of the Autonomous Leadership Zone was busy. First, the local guard corps were carrying out integration tasks. The excess troops were constantly assembled in military barracks outside Langhu City, and six temporary guard corps were being formed. Second, Hicks captured soldiers recruited voluntarily to join the volunteer corps also continued to enter the barracks for training, and in an increasing number, soon surpassed the strength of a division, accounting for nearly 50,000 troops.

The third is the Endocross. Councillor Joyce assembled more than a dozen parliamentarians and dozens of businessmen from the Autonomous Territories to form a smuggling association that recruited 56,000 young labourers from the Overseas Autonomous Territories with high salaries to build the secret road to the interior of the colonies of the West Coast countries in the Nikanca Nation. At the same time, a huge convoy of nearly 10,000 people was formed and a shipment of armaments was sent to the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik for the autonomous military region.

Fourthly, 300 grass-roots officers from the Autonomous Territory have arrived in the interior of the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik with that 10,000-strong convoy of horses, rendezvous with Boquer et al., and formed the Pamigal Liberation Army in the wilderness of the border. Nearly 20,000 Pamigalis are said to have been recruited into formal military training. However, weapons and ammunition are still waiting to be delivered to the autonomous territories with bare hands.

Fifth, Mr. Viberon's military manufacturing industry produces a new type of flare gun that performs no different than the Obash III flare gun. It is commendable that the bullets of this new type of flare gun employ a rear-bore mechanism, and that the bullets are one-piece cartridge bullets that can be fired with a flame rope by poking the cartridge in the rear of the cartridge, eliminating the trouble of backfiring powder in the front bore cartridge and making the steps of loading a cartridge simpler and easier.

The only thing that is unfortunate is that this new type of flaming rope gun becomes a chicken rib, tasteless and unfortunate to abandon, when it is already available. Mr. Viberon said that several firearms technicians in the military manufacturing industry were inspired by new types of rifles before they were manufactured. Now that the performance is no worse than that of the Obash III, Claude decided to use all of the Hicks Volunteer Corps and Pamigal support weapons with this new type of flare gun, and to name it a Vibran 02.

Just as Claude was busy in the dark, two months passed in a hurry. Claude then received a letter from Director Swenson from White Deer City, opening it and Claude started having headaches again. Because the letter said that when Mother and Caffrey arrived in White Deer City, they started a lawsuit, and the defendant was Queen Christie...

The Fields' estate in White Deer City is two places, the big red brick house and the nearly 5,000 acres of woodland bought for the family by sister Anna. When Claude passed from White Deer City, he knew that his big red brick house had been ruined during the Kingdom's civil war, and he didn't have the kung fu to clean it up, so he put it there as a garbage pile. That's why he doesn't want his mother and wife to go back to White Deer City. The house is gone. Why go back?

As for the 5,000 acres of woodland, Claude didn't mind either. Compared to the industry in the overseas self-government offices, the two households in Bai Lu Cheng are insignificant and not worth mentioning. It just didn't occur to me that the reason Mother and Caffrey sued Queen Christie was for the family's 5,000 acres of woodland, because Queen Christie's Normanly Forest didn't know when to privately annex 5,000 acres of the Fields Family Forest...

In his letter, Chief Superintendent Swanson stated that during the invasion of the kingdom by Allied forces, His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen lived in that large white palace-like house at the Normanly Forest Yard in White Deer City, for which the surrounding area was under military control and the Fields Family Forest Yard became a garrison site. And Queen Christie said a word that the mountain forests here belong to her private Normanly forests.

Because during the civil war in the Kingdom, the administrative centre in White Deer City was burned and all the files were lost. Subsequently, local administrators, in order to kiss the ass of Her Majesty Queen Christie, waved a large sum of money, dividing all the hills on the south-western outskirts of White Deer City into the Norman Ridge site. So the Fields Family Forest Farm was annexed by the Normanly Forest Farm.

If you are a normal person, you will only find yourself in bad luck, find a local government office to claim compensation, and pay as much as you can. But Mother and Kevin didn't want to, and they made a scene at the White Deer City administration with 5,000 acres of deeds and deeds and property notarization documents. The local officials couldn't help themselves, and nobody wanted to go to this mess.

What shall we do, on the one hand, Her Majesty the Honourable Queen Christie, and on the other, the wife and mother of Count Claude, the Marshal of the Kingdom? Especially Marshal Claude is not the empty counts of the kingdoms. He holds the military power of overseas autonomous territories. He waved his army directly to the King's capital in the second half of last year. Soldiers came under the city, almost changed the dynasty, who can provoke him...

The mistake is the fact that the Normanly Forest Farm was privately annexed to the Field Forest Farm. But the problem is that there are many reasons for this mistake. White Deer City's previous industrial documents were lost during the Kingdom's civil war. The fact that the Fields family has not returned to the overseas autonomous territories is also a reason. It is also a reason for former local administrators to decide on the ownership of the forest farm without going to investigate the Queen's ass. Her Majesty did not make clear how big her own forest farm is...

But how do we deal with this now? Her Majesty's Normanly Forest has already divided the boundaries. If we want to rectify it, we have to go to the King to bring Her Majesty back to confrontation. Who has the guts? But it's also true that Marshal Claude's wife and mother had these documents in their possession, and it can't be a lie. Who's to blame if they piss off this Marshal Claude to lead us to White Deer City?

Some have proposed replacing it with a woodland estate elsewhere on the outskirts of White Deer City or something with Marshal Claude's wife and mother, but the mother is too old to be stubborn to bite the original 5,000 acres of family woodland. Even if those local officials put forward a lot of extra conditions, such as rebuilding a big red brick house for the Fields family for free, replacing the woodland estate or whatever, it doesn't matter if it's more than a thousand acres or whatever, but the mother just bit the original woodland that had to be 5,000 acres...

Then Mother and Caffrey sued Queen Christie in the circuit court.

The Circuit Court is a new product of the kingdom itself and a new initiative for the benefit of the people launched by Frederick I and the Prime Minister, the Marquis Blancat, with the aim of strengthening the rule of law at the local level, travelling to the counties, consulting all local government offices for the adjudication of cases and giving the citizens of the kingdom a place to complain about grievances.

Just as the circuit court in the three southwest counties arrived in White Deer City, Mother and Caffrey went to confess. So the local officials in White Deer City were relieved, the trouble was pushed to the circuit court, it had nothing to do with them, just have to prove it in court...

The case concerned the distinguished Queen Christie and the Overseas Autonomous Territory Marshal Claude, and the judges of the Circuit Court sat waxed for a while, regretting that they should not have come to White Deer City at this time. However, the case had been taken up and there was no way to push it, and it was finally decided to refer the case to the Royal Court, where His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen would personally decide how to proceed with the verdict.

Less than half a month later, a special envoy from Wangdu rushed to White Deer Town, Claude's old acquaintance, Badgero. Viscount E. David, who brought a cordial greeting and many precious gifts from His Majesty the King and Queen to his mother and Lady Keffany, as well as a handwritten letter from His Majesty the King.

The Honourable Frederick I, in his letter, very sincerely said to his mother that he was very sorry for the confusion caused to the two distinguished Ladies by Her Majesty's confusion at the time, which did not explain the boundaries of the White Normanly Forest Ground. That's why I sent Don Baggiro. Viscount E. David, as the mediator in the matter, divided the woodland and re-registered and certified the estate as the mother wished.

However, His Majesty the King also made a proposal that the noble Fields should not hide in a small city southwest of the kingdom. Because his ancestor Hasby, although a farmer, fought valiantly for Sterling IX in exchange for a reward for his battle merit before he had the first estate of the Fields family.

This was followed by Mr. Morsan, who made an extraordinary contribution to the dedicated local administration of the Kingdom and the late King Sterling X. At the same time, the spontaneous collection of funds has opened up new routes for the Kingdom to overseas colonies, the achievements of which could well be conferred on the nobility of the Kingdom. Unfortunately, however, the jealousy of the officials of the Kingdom at that time punished Mr. Morsan under the pretext of bringing pirates to justice, resulting in Mr. Morsan finally sacrificing his precious life for his family.

His Majesty the King said that he had deeply wronged the unnamed hero of the kingdom after hearing about Mr. Morsan as a young man, but that he was not in a good position at the time to shout wrongs for Mr. Morsan and to compensate the Fields family.

He is now king, and the third generation of Marshal Claude of the Fields family has become the top pillar of the kingdom. It was Marshal Claude who destroyed the invading Allied forces for the Kingdom and the dead enemy nation. Both father and son have made indelible achievements for the kingdom, and as king he must compensate the Fields for their contribution to the kingdom.

So His Majesty Frederie I decided to mobilize energy craftsmen from Wangdu to rebuild another luxurious house on the ruins of the Red Brick House in White Deer City for the Fields family, all at the expense of the royal vault. A bronze statue for Mr. Morsan will also be erected in front of Mr. Morsan's cemetery in recognition of his achievements in opening new routes for the Kingdom.

In addition, His Majesty the King is willing to replace the 5,000 acres of the Fields family forest in White Deer City with a 3,000-acre royal estate on the outskirts of Wangdu, while granting the Fields family a residence in Wangdu as compensation for the achievements of Mr. Morsan for the Kingdom, and to seize Mr. Morsan as Viscount Emeritus of the Kingdom.

If the Honorable Morsan... Mrs. Field, if you will, Special Envoy Dom Badgero. Viscount E. David will accompany the Ladies and Young Master to Wangdu and help with all industrial formalities and follow-up...

In his letter, Chief Superintendent Swanson said that it rained tears when his mother received this letter, written by His Majesty the King, and thanked His Majesty very much for his grace to the Fields family, who was willing to do everything His Majesty wanted. So when Chief Swanson wrote this letter to Claude, Mother and Lady Caffrey were packing and ready to go to Wang Du...

After reading this letter from White Deer City, Claude couldn't help laughing and was speechless for a long time. He recognized himself as the biggest spike in overseas self-government, and His Majesty the King and His Majesty the King's ministers had to deal with Claude first if they were to deal with overseas self-government. The question is, is your mother worth all this money? Even his late father, Mr. Morsan, was put back on the table, not only to erect a bronze statue, but also to seize it as a nobleman, and even to seal a palace in Wangdu.

If they knew about their mother's relationship with them now, they might regret that they were targeting the wrong person. Forget it. Whatever, let's see how long they'll be in the show. Claude was a little relieved that his mother and Kevin would not be in any danger if they went to the king, and he was also the largest leader of the Overseas Autonomous Territories...
