Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 581: Mike Joins the Family

After sending Bok Al away, Claude went to sleep and sat alone in the study and pondered. He was not too concerned about the commitment just given to Bok Al, since the autonomous military regions were not prepared to make a huge move in the colonies of the West Coast countries for the next year. Instead, it is about shrinking the front lines, strengthening the defence forces of the Pamigal National Republic and resolving the civil problems and land distribution conflicts caused by the war...

At the same time, for the next year or more, the Autonomous Territory will have to clear up the internal affairs of the Union of Russman Chiefs and deal with violent disputes between the various Russman tribes in its country, so that it can become an indigenous State that provides support to the Autonomous Territory, rather than simply pulling back legs. In addition, the autonomous military region had to resolve the armed conflict between the two indigenous peoples of the colony of the Principality of Vassilico, the Riscolos and the Gistes, until it was said that there had been a headache.

Indeed, the autonomous military regions had been powerless to colonize the countries of the West Coast for more than a year, and any ideas could only be postponed. Unless there is another war, the colonial Powers of the West Coast will form coalitions to invade the Pamigal National Republic, and then the autonomous territories will have to preserve this indigenous nation on their scales...

For the next year or so, the focus of the Autonomous Territory's attention will be on internal restructuring, gathering the members of the Hicks Return Division in Port Patcala, which was leased to the Autonomous Territory in the Kingdom of Breot, with more than two million people to be transported back to the Overseas Autonomous Territories and eight Hicks Return Division groups to be disbanded and settled. The Autonomous Territories need to cooperate with the local administrations of the Autonomous Territories in accommodating these immigrants from the Kingdom of Hicks so that they can successfully become members of the Overseas Autonomous Territories population.

As two standing regiments have been compiled in the Kingdom itself, they will soon take over the areas of Rimodra and Eskilin, the newly occupied territories, and the eight areas of the autonomous military regions that were originally responsible for those areas will also require the withdrawal of their armed forces from the overseas autonomous territories. Originally there were eight local guard corps, but because of the formation of the Storm Corps, suitable troops were selected from the eight local guard corps, and now all that remains are veterans who have reached the retirement period, mostly about one or two battalions, so you can come back and arrange for them to be discharged and then withdrawn.

However, the military workshop for the manufacture of new rifle bullets and new artillery shells, as well as for the repair of new rifles and artillery, originally located in the three counties in the southern part of the Eskilin region, will need to be relocated to the northern Gulf territory of the Kanas region, which is the responsibility of General Skerry. The situation in the Kingdom of Hicks is said to be calm as the Storm Regiment and the Thunder Regiment, as well as eight Hicks Return Regiments, gathered in Port Patcala, and several separatist forces did not strike out as soon as the Autonomous Territory withdrew as Claude had imagined...

It appears that the situation on both continents will remain calm for some time, and that the autonomous territorial areas will need to wait until the resettlement of migrants has been completed, the eight Hicks Return Regiments and those areas that have withdrawn to guard against disarmament have been disbanded, and the Lettings have returned to the overseas autonomous territories before turning their attention back to the colonies of the countries of the West Coast without internal concern. In the northern part of the Farea continent, in the Kingdom of Hicks, those separatist forces are likely to wait until the withdrawal of troops from the autonomous military region of Port Patcala is complete before a civil war can be waged.

That's why Claude gave Bockard a private commitment to contact Ericsson to see if his Black Sail pirates had the guts. Now that the Autonomous Territories are going to be flattered for the next year or so, it would be a good idea for pirates to find trouble with the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands. Anyway, Claude was not prepared to pay any money or property, and he promised that Eriksson's Black Sail pirates would destroy a United Kingdom naval fleet on the Fox Islands before handing it over to him for six Ironclad warships.

These six Ironclad warships, like the Ironclad fleet that was transferred to the mainland of the Kingdom, are the first generation of Ironclad destroyers. They have just been decommissioned and sealed in the military harbour base of Port Patres. They are not ready to be converted into anything before being sold. The Navy's proposal was to convert it into a fast passenger ship for the movement of people between the two continents, with the effect of reducing the half-months of sea travel to 10 to 12 days.

At present, the Autonomous Navy's Ironclad fleet consists of second- and third-generation destroyers and cruisers, as well as pelagic carriers. And the ship design department headed by Master Byrd is thriving in designing the 4th generation Ironclad warships. It is said that the latest type of marine steam power has been manufactured and verified, ready to be installed in the 4th generation Ironclad warships. General Muried even reported the elimination of all 2nd generation Ironclad warships...

It has to be acknowledged that the emergence of Ironclad warships has greatly improved the scientific and technological level of the overseas autonomous territories, whether it be steam power or materials processes, as well as the rapid development and advancement of basic production technologies such as gold, refining, forging and welding. Even chemistry revealed seedlings, such as a highly toxic paint coated on the bottom of a ship, developed to prevent the growth of oysters at the bottom of an Ironclad warship, which extended the refurbishment of these marine biologically-treated bottoms to one year every three or four months...

Only in contrast to Claude's memory of previous life, most of the world's technological development is concentrated in magic laboratories, like the development of a new marine steel plate, in which the scribe performs various metallic synthesis tests in the alchemy magic array. After satisfactory results are obtained, the reduction test steps and calculation of the addition of metals are carried out again, and then the gold is extracted from the refinery, and then the forging and welding tests are carried out before the successful marine steel plate products are obtained.

As General Bitchklin mentioned yesterday at a military conference, in the year and a half of the Claude's war on the Kingdom of the Hicks, new technologies, new materials and processes alone, amounted to more than four hundred, mostly concentrated in the shipbuilding industry, like well blow-outs. Thanks to the progress in the development of steam power in ships, the autonomous turbine head steam engine has now been replaced with the seventh generation steam power, which can reach a speed of 450 miles per hour...

But at the same time as the technological advances, General Beechlin complained that the shipbuilding industry burned too much money. The problem is that the Ironclad Battleships of the Autonomous Territory are now unique, no other country can see the shadow of the first generation of Ironclad Battleships, and this side of the Autonomous Territory has grown to four generations. So he suggests that Patrice Military Harbor Shipbuilding Base over there should consider developing civilian ships to build Ironclad warships alone. That's a huge hole that can't get in and out of the water...

Claude has considered a visit to the Shipbuilding Base at Patres Military Port for some time, and the replacement of the Ironclad warships is indeed slowing down. The practice of designing and validating a test warship can be followed before sealing the technology and improving it on the test warship. Instead of starting full scale production after a new generation of warships has been set up, try to modify the old Ironclad warships. When designing, you should take into account the issue of renewal and leave room for future modifications when building warships...

On the other hand, the ship design department and four large shipyards at the Patrez Military Port Shipbuilding Base can turn to the construction of civilian vessels, ocean passenger ships with iron hulls, transport vessels, and large fishing vessels are the most popular in the market, as long as they are manufactured without distress. Every shipyard can leave a dock to build or rebuild an Ironclad warship, so as to achieve a self-producing market operation as soon as possible, instead of focusing solely on the two or three million Golden Kroner Ironclad warship manufacturing funds allocated each year by the autonomous military region...

Sheila pushed the door in and saw Claude sitting alone behind the desk, stunned. “What's going on, Claude? What's going on? Did your fat friend bring you any bad news? ”

Claude looked back and shook his head, dumbfounded and laughed: "No, I was just considering the next military itinerary. There are a lot of things I need to take care of myself, and I have to go to Patres military port in a few days. By the way, what are you doing here..."

“What am I doing here?” Sheila was angry: “You don't have to see what time it is, sir. It's time for lunch. I thought you were going to have dinner with General Boa. I heard the servant say that General Boa had already left, but you stayed in the study all the time. I just came up to see what was going on. Who knew you were just sitting there! ”

Claude knew we were going to have lunch, looked at the crystal hourglass on the desk, and suddenly remembered that we could talk to Master Byrd, and maybe make a beautiful watch, which is also a huge resource. So I got up and went downstairs with Sheila for lunch and thought about making the clock. Perhaps this could be the private property that I gave to Maleks. He was my own bastard and Mrs. Sonia's bastard, and now I'm studying mechanical knowledge with Master Byrd as an assistant...

After lunch, Claude returned to his bedroom to take a nap, while listening to a servant, General McJackie, came to visit. His brother-in-law came over, and Claude had to climb back up and get dressed, wondering how it all came together.

McJackie is no longer in charge and is responsible for the day-to-day administration and logistics of the headquarters of the Autonomous Territorial Zone, equivalent to the role of the Butler, just as General Skerry was before. As the supreme head of the Autonomous Territory, Claude's handover with Marshal Bolognick a few years ago required a trusted close associate to help him take over the headquarters of the Autonomous Territory and finally chose his own brother-in-law, General McJackie.

McJackie came this time to talk about scheduling after Claude's holiday, which is official business. Secondly, there are two private matters. One is to report Claude's eldest son, Tess Orey, in the barracks, and the other is forced by his wife, Claude's sister, Anna, to join Claude's family. Add Han after his name. Fields' last name.

Originally a homeless child, McJackie was forcibly recruited by the local administration after the outbreak of the first five-year war in the eastern part of the country in order to raise the number of recruits, when he was a minor and only 16 years old. Claude made him a soldier, and then he followed Claude all the time, and no one thought that the stray child of the day was now a Major General of the Kingdom and a hereditary Baron of the Kingdom, and could help Claude alone.

As Claude's beloved relative and married Claude's sister Anna, McJackie had already considered joining the Fields family. It was just that Claude was busy with the military, the mother and Caffrey were constantly acting demons, and then there was his brother, Adele, who was killed by Claude's mother. Angry Blovik gave up the title of the owner and his last name and ran away from home. These things also made McJackie want to join the Fields family...

So McJackie sent someone home to find out what his birth and surname was. Unfortunately, his hometown was devastated during the civil war in the Kingdom, and the original local administration registry files were burned, while most of the survivors did not know each other, and the elderly man who remembered the stray child, Michael, could not recall his name.

There are generally only two solutions to this situation: join a close family, and take your own family name and become a future ancestor. It's more than enough to start a family by taking a family name as Mike's current status and status. It's just that Mike was born cautious, and he felt that he wasn't enough to start a family, that he was busy on business, and that he wanted to take a nice, suitable name, and that's why he dragged it to this point.

Now that the two Fields are apart, Claude becomes Han. The owner of the Fields family, sister Anna, forced her husband, Mike, to join Claude's family when she found out. After repeated consideration, McJackie thought it would be more appropriate to join Claude's family, so he came to Claude today to obtain a certificate of naturalization and consent, and to process the naturalization of the household, Claude, the owner, was required to sign and stamp the application.

In addition to McJackie joining the Fields family, Big Gummy will retire and become Claude's minister. Unlike McJackie and others, Big Gummy is now a Lieutenant Colonel in the Kingdom, and he's 46 years old. Although he followed Claude from the first Five Years of Eastern Region, as did McJackie, he played the role of Claude's personal escort and saved Claude's life in the Grey Tower Mage assassination.

Unlike Major McJackie, Becklin, and others, the rank of the big Grimes is now at the end of his military career. Two years ago, he went home to a five-sized, three-sized woman and had a child last year. That's why Claude didn't take him to the Hicks Kingdom when he conquered it. Instead, he left him at the headquarters of the Autonomous Territory. Twenty-five years into the army, Big Gemmy had begun to get tired of his career, and decided to retire as Claude's minister.

Big Grimmer's real name is Grimmett. Ops, unfortunately he has a family name, or else Enclaude, with his life, will have him join the Fields family. Of course, a Claude's family like McJackie's is a bypass, and the only difference between him and his brother, Browick, is that he can't inherit the position of head of the family, but the more bystanders he has, the more power and influence the family will have locally.

After talking about McJackie joining the Fields family, Claude and McJackie, by the way, talked about arrangements for Big Gummy. Just as Sergeant Kester, who was supposed to be in charge of the family tobacco factory security, followed Kevin to Wangdu to protect the safety of their mother and son and their three daughters, Claude decided to let Big Gummy take over as head of family security and reassemble a reliable family escort.

McJackie took out the papers and prepared to confirm with Claude the schedule for the future. He was not Claude's personal assistant, he did not need to pay attention to Claude's daily itinerary, but rather gave Claude a glimpse of the business he needed to handle personally in order for Claude to make it count.

One of the most important duties now for Claude is to visit the Pamigal National Republic three months later, in the absence of war in the Pamigal National Republic three months later. Claude, as the supreme head of the Autonomous Territory, travelled to this indigenous nation to visit the country with the great president, Tez Singh. Nora Taganem has signed several friendly cooperation agreements on assistance in armaments, as well as economic and commercial cooperation.

The most important point of this visit is that the Autonomous Territory openly conveys its attitude to all countries, which means that this Pamigal National Republic, our Autonomous Territory, has been set up, and whoever cannot get past it is challenging the Autonomous Territory, of which there is no shortage of warnings to the remaining coastal colonial Powers of the southern part of the Farea continent on the West Coast...

McJackie and Claude need to schedule this visit so that they can get in touch with the Pamigal National Republic and then schedule the entire trip. It will also be necessary to determine whether Claude needs to visit the Russman League of Chiefs. Claude, however, lacked interest in the endless Russman League of Chiefs and refused to arrange a round-trip visit.

It wasn't until after he settled his official duties that McJackie brought up Claude's eldest son, Tess Orey, in the barracks. Claude did not leave his eldest son in the barracks, but secretly instructed McJackie to take care of him and observe him. Just over three years later, McJackie didn't rate Tess Aurey highly enough to think that the boy had completely turned into a veteran oil, spending his days in the barracks, and had no interest.

Tess Orey, who had just entered the barracks, was a cowardly pussy and qualified after six months of recruit training. He also knew that his father would not change his mind about releasing him from the barracks, so he was a little advanced, like a qualified recruit. But in the barracks, Tess Aurey could easily hang out with a bunch of veterans, arguing that some kind of person is born to get together sexually.

Playing lazy, bullying recruits, stealing meat from canteens, drinking in military camps, flirting with women, etc. Anyway, the oil of veterans in these camps is the same, big things don't do small things constantly, often confined, which actually affects the future of a soldier's military brigade. Tess Aurey soon became a veteran oil, and went to the West Coast colonial battlefield twice. All he could say was, he participated in four battles, and according to his own bragging, killed three enemies...

Taken together, however, his three-year military career has been quite a failure, as there are too many disciplinary violations, and his rank is currently only a sergeant, not even a sergeant. And Claude and his brother, Browick, have been captains of the kingdom for three years...
