Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 583 Visits

Piazza del Porto San Nicholas, Republic of the Pamigal Nation, on the western coast of the continent of Nubicia, 1 July 606.

Six black-sprayed Ironclad warships approached a long stacked bridge extending into the sea, a standard small sub-fleet combat unit of the Overseas Autonomous Navy Ironclad Fleet consisting of an Ironclad Cruiser, four Ironclad Destroyers and an Ironclad Ocean Armed Transporter.

The six Ironclad battleships were the third generation of the newly constructed Shipbuilding Base at Patres Military Port in the Autonomous Territory, and this time came to Port San Nicholas to escort Marshal Claude, the supreme commander of the Autonomous Territory, to visit the Pamigal National Republic.

Port of St. Nicholas is the largest deep-water port in the former colony of the Kingdom of Morosic and the most commercially traded seaport city in the far ocean of the four seaport towns of the coastal zone. Port Giruda and Port Mills are small fishing port towns, and another port, Port Filims, although also deep-water, is located in remote hillsides with limited transportation and no optimistic development prospects for Port San Nicholas.

With the establishment of the Pamigal National Republic, Port of San Nicholas became the only commercial and prosperous seaport city in the four main seaport towns. Although distant trade with the Kingdom of Morosic was interrupted, offshore merchant ships from overseas autonomous territories filled the gap. Whether arms aid from the autonomous military region or economic aid from the autonomous territorial council arrives through this San Nicholas seaport, the harbour docks are becoming more lively...

As the six Ironclad battleships landed, salute guns roared in Pier Square, doves flew in shock, and crowds gathered near the square cheered. The Pamigal National Republic this time used the most solemn courtesy to welcome Marshal Claude. Nearly a hundred young and beautiful Pamigal girls danced a happy national dance in the square, while the military band in front played a light and lively welcome song, and a group of senior Pamigal officials rushed to the stack bridge.

Claude came down from the new Ironclad Cruiser General Stroke, (Note: The names of the Overseas Autonomous Navy third-generation Ironclad Battleships are all named after the legendary entries recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Ovilas.) Introduced by the welcoming officer and embraced by these dark-skinned senior officials of the Pamigal National Republic, the Prime Minister of the Republic, an old Pamigal man in his sixties, laughed like a blooming daisy.

At the pier, a delicate and lovely Pamigal girl hung a wreath for Claude with dewy beads and kissed Claude's cheeks before leaving with shame. Then the dancing Pamigal girls came up and hung the same wreath for Claude's entourage, just without a kiss, so Claude and other visitors could feel the warm welcome of the people of Lower Pamigal...

Claude then inspected the Pamigal People's Liberation Front (PNLF) armed bands in Pier Square, accompanied by the Prime Minister's old man. As can be seen, the Pamigals are deeply influenced by the autonomous territory, and all the formations, marches and ceremonies are the same as those of the autonomous territory. Claude naturally praised the good performance of this armed instrument squad and would be proud to hear senior Pamigal officials present with a smile on their eyes.

Finally, Claude and the old prime minister made enthusiastic speeches to the crowd gathered in Pier Square to watch the festivities before boarding the carriage and going to the banquet venue. After the feast, we took another night off and went back on the road to Pedabraso, the capital of the Pamigal National Republic.

From Port of San Nicholas to Pedabrazo City, a carriage takes two to three days. As can be seen from this journey, the Pamigal National Republic attaches great importance to the visit of Claude. Not only has the road been refurbished, but the road was martialed and sealed off as it passed through the road, ensuring that no other horse on the road blocked or delayed the journey of the horse, while guards carrying guns were seen on both sides of the road from time to time...

It can be said that the itinerary was very thoughtful and thoughtful, two and a half days, that Claude had never used dry food, and that there was always a place for a rich banquet at lunch to wait for Claude's horse. Not to mention the hospitality of the evening meals and lodgings, outside Claude's bedroom, two beautiful young Pamigal girls await Claude's summons at all times.

Claude is now old and tolerable, but his entourage, the young officers who accompanied him on his visit to the Autonomous Territory, are in a state of fire and more or less lonely, have had a relationship with the Pamigal woman who waited for them. Good thing it's not against military discipline here, and the Pamigals are used to it, and Claude had to let it go, just telling his men to keep their mouths shut...

On 5 July, at 2 p.m., Claude arrived in Pedabrazo. Tez Singh, President of the Republic of Pamigal for life. Nora Taganem is thirty miles out of town, greeting Claude warmly. The welcoming ceremony at Piazza San Nicholas Harbour Pier came again, culminating in Claude and His Excellency the President riding together in a carriage into the city of Pedabrazo amidst the petal rain thrown by a warmly welcoming audience on both sides of the road.

Claude stayed at the Anx Rose Palace, formerly the residence of the Governor of the Colony of the Kingdom of Morosic, which was named Rose Palace because of its color similar to rose red. Anx is the name of his designer, and architects of this era are used to being famous for spreading their names around the proud buildings they design.

And Anx was a famous architect on the southern coast of the Farea continent 50 years ago, and the then Governor of the colony of the Kingdom of Morosic paid a high price to go to the west coast of the continent and design several famous buildings, one of which was the Anx Rose Palace. Shortly after returning to the kingdom from the West Coast colony, the master of architecture died ill, so that the buildings he had left in the colony became a relic and more prestigious.

Located on a small stone hill in the city of Pedabrazo, Anx Rose Palace stands on a third floor platform with panoramic views of the entire city of Pedabrazo. In the distance there is also a magnificent palace nestled on another hill in the city, far opposite the Anx Rose Palace. That's the palace of Jedphis, formerly built for the king by the colony of the Kingdom of Morosic, and now Tez Singh. The residence of President Nora Taganem for life is also the seat of the highest authority of the Pamigal National Republic...

This visit to Claude was also to celebrate the third anniversary of the establishment of the Pamigal National Republic. July 7th is the Pamigal National Day, and Claude stands on the platform and can see that households in Pedabrazo are dressed up fresh, with colorful flags, colorful fabrics, lanterns of various sizes and bright flowers.

The Pamigal maids who followed them all the way here to report that the carriage convoy sent by the palace had arrived and that they had come to greet Chloe and others to attend the national banquet held tonight at the Palace of Jedphis. Claude changed his clothes and summoned his entourage to the palace in a carriage. It was a delightful evening for the guests. Claude returned drunk...

But the next day Claude woke up with some regrets, because he found himself lying next to two unattached Pamigal waitresses. I also had the impression of having a party when I came back last night, touching my sore waist, and Claude could only shake his head helplessly and smile, drinking accidents. These Pamigals loved to add some strong and sunny medication to the wine, which made them uncontrollable after drinking too much, pushing these two half-assed maids to bed...

Tezzy Singer. President Nora Taganem was very attentive to Claude and others on their journey and tired last night, so there were no shows scheduled on the 6th of July, but the evening banquet could not escape. Just when Claude saw the banquets served with all sorts of Zhuangyang drugs, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart, and asked President Tetzsinger, "Why do you drink all this Zhuangyang medicine instead of fruit wine?"

I didn't expect President Tezzinger to give Claude an unexpected answer, and President Tezzinger told Claude in good faith that this was a national policy developed by the Pamigal Congress to increase the population. In their quest for independence and freedom, the Pamigals paid a heavy price in three years of war, killing nearly half a million young men in battle. And the entire Pamigal nation is close to seven million people, losing more than half a million young and strong men, resulting in a demographic imbalance. Today, the Pamigals are more male and female...

That is why the members of the Pamigal National Assembly have formulated a population development strategy whereby every Pamigali man must marry more than two wives and bear at least four children in order for the State to fulfil its obligations. So in the Pamigal National Republic, all alcohol sold is Zhuang Yang medicine wine in order to give men the strength and spirit to fulfill their duties as husbands.

And as the lifelong president of the Pamigal National Republic, he naturally had to lead by example, and of course he had to put the best Yang medicine wine on the banquet. Of course, if you don't take this best Yang medicine, President Tetzsingh will be sad that he won't be able to satisfy his family's seven tiger-like wives at night...

But we're here to visit, not the Pamigals. Don't you have to drink this magnificent potion bar? Claude rebutted. As a result, President Tezzinger had a delightful smile on his face, and he said that as a guest, he should be at his disposal. Besides, the favor was not helpful. Each of the people traveling with Claude arranged two waitresses trained in this kind of thing to ensure the most wonderful happiness for their guests.

If you get these waitresses hungry, they're all happy, and they're all born with dark red skin babies, a Pamigal, and they get the best care. So Claude doesn't have to worry about anything, just enjoy these silky, silky waitresses. As friends and guests, Claude's visitors should do the job for their owners and make the contribution they deserve to the cause of increasing the population of the Pamigals.

Claude starts with a gaze and then he starts to cry. It's amazing how the Pamigals go crazy to increase the population. Claude immediately protested that if the banquet still uses this magnificent Yang medicine wine, then tomorrow is the National Day of the Pamigal National Republic. Claude, these visitors are not guaranteed to get up and delay the National Day celebration ceremony, which is very bad...

With this threat in mind, President Tezzinger decided to remove part of the Zhuangyang medicine and replace it with regular fruit wine to serve his distinguished guests. It's just that Claude returns to the Anx Rose Palace in his own bedroom and finds himself still unable to get past this level. Those two Pamigal waitresses consciously stripped naked into bed, clamping on the left and right sides quickly made Claude stiff as iron... (12,000 words omitted here in case of harmony.

On July 7th, Claude had a difficult and boring day, and he and President Tetzsingh stood on the second floor platform of the Palace of Jedphis, waving their compliments to the march. The so-called National Day celebration of the Pamigals is a flower cart parade, which starts with tens of thousands of people marching in the capital city of Pedabrazo cheering for colored cars crowded with nearly a hundred costumed flower branches, passing through the square in front of the Palace of Jedphis, hailing President Tez Singh and Claude on the second floor platform, and then leaving to enjoy all kinds of food on long tables arranged along the streets...

This was followed by town garden parades in various Pamigal Republics, with hundreds more and dozens fewer marches as local representatives passing through the square in front of the palace, shouting Hail's slogan. Claude stood with the wind of hearts and minds of satisfied President Tezzinger for a day, his arms waving a little sore.

The evening is another grand reception, this time without fruit wine, all served with Zhuang Yang medicine wine. Even if Claudeck stopped himself from drinking too much, there was no way to come back at night, and he could only find two Pamigal waitresses to relax and sleep peacefully.

The scheduled date of 8 July was the official state consultation with the Pamigal National Republic in the Overseas Autonomous Territories, except that Claude had to wait a day to see his mental state and that of his entourage. And decided that there would be another party at night and refused to attend. The big guy just had something to eat at the Anx Rose Palace, so he could get his spirit back together as soon as possible. Otherwise, I drink that Zhuangyang medicine wine at the party every night. When I return, I go back with the waitress. Who can handle this? There is no spiritual discussion...

After a day, it was only after seeing the accompanying visitors get better that Claude held formal consultations and talks with senior members of the Pamigal National Republic. There are two main issues to be discussed: the economic and military assistance given by the Overseas Autonomous Territories to the Pamigals, and the lease by the Autonomous Territories of the port of Filims of the Pamigal National Republic as the base of the military port of the Autonomous Territories.

More complicated is economic assistance, which, in addition to a five-year low-interest loan of 6 million gold kroner, has assisted livelihood technology industries and investment projects. For example, a major overseas self-governing commercial company that deals in paper products has caught sight of the endless resources of reed grass along the Mirankda River. It intends to open a large paper mill here, specializing in the production of paper products based on reed grass, requiring preferential policies and duty-free treatment from the Government of the Republic, etc.

Among those accompanying Claude's visit were more than forty businessmen organized by the Autonomous Territorial Assembly to invest in the Republic of Pamigal, taking advantage of the influence of the Autonomous Territorial Military Region over the Republic for the first time to occupy the market for raw materials. Fortunately, their requirements and conditions were not excessive and cooperation agreements were reached after three days of negotiation.

In addition to commercial investments, these businessmen, headed by the Autonomous Overseas Minsheng Bank, will open branches in the National Republic of Pamigal, while helping the Republic to set up its own bank, issue Pamigali currency and apply equivalents to the currency of the Autonomous Territory. Improve its financial and fiscal tax and customs system, improve its legal provisions on market operations and commodity transactions, and reach a framework for economic and trade collaboration.

With regard to military assistance, President Tezsingh, in keeping with the doctrine of economic development following military preparations, asked the Autonomous Territory to retrain the four Standing Regiments for the Pamigal National Republic and to provide all the weapons and armaments required by the four Standing Regiments, while helping the Republic to assemble an integrated force of twenty local guards.

This requires surprises for senior officers in military districts such as Claude, but in association with the dangerous environment surrounding the Republic, it also understands the anxiety of the senior ranks of the Pamigal National Republic, who, after all, are constantly facing a crisis of invasion and death.

Claude suspended the meeting and held private meetings and consultations with senior Republicans, including President Tezsingh, finally persuaded them to abandon the decision to launch a military advance. Instead, the four standing regiments now in possession were integrated, reduced to two standing regiments plus a near-capital guard corps and eliminated the old and the weak, recruiting recruits to complete the training to form twelve local guard corps.

If President Tezsingh's original request and plan were to have eight standing legions plus twenty places to arm the Republic of Pamigal, such a force would not only wipe out all age-appropriately recruited young and strong sources, but would not be able to afford such a huge amount of armament resources and financial needs at all, so that the Republic's economy would not develop without a strong workforce...

Fortunately, Claude persuaded them that the troops, with little reason, had promised that the Legion of Thunder would be sent to the Pamigal National Republic to help with the presence of all enemies greedy towards the Republic as soon as it was transported back from the Farea mainland.

At the same time, the Autonomous Territory will send officers to assist the Republic in completing its plans for the reduction of corps and the restructuring of local armed guard training, providing all arms and materiel assistance to the two Standing Regiments and helping the Republic to establish its own industrial gun-making industry and ammunition production workshop, culminating in the establishment of an officer training school in the Republic's capital city of Pedabraso.

After talking about economic and military assistance, President Claude and President Tezsingh signed a lease agreement for Port Filims. This is an unavoidable good for the Pamigal National Republic, as they believe that the autonomous naval zone navy will serve as a defensive barrier along the coast of the Republic by renting the port of Films. So they were embarrassed to sign a lease agreement for '99 for just 10,000 gold kroner a year...
