In early 1959, all parties finally reached an agreement on the issue of the Western Regions, and the United Kingdom promised to gradually withdraw its troops from the Western Regions within three years.
At the same time, we will promote the true democratic autonomy of the Western Regions as soon as possible and re-absorb them as members of the Imperial Confederation.
This issue jointly raised by the Eastern Alliance and Tianhan Kingdom was finally resolved.
Although the three-year withdrawal operation may take three years and three years, at least morally, everything that needs to be done has been done. The leaders of the Eastern Alliance no longer want to dwell on this issue any more.
The representatives of Tianhan Kingdom could not stand alone and had to agree to the final plan of the United Kingdom.
On February 1, the confederations formally signed an agreement in the Imperial Capital to form the "New Holy Continent Confederation Empire." According to the agreement, each confederation can basically be regarded as an independent country. However, William V will be the sole emperor of the Holy Continent.
.
The Imperial Parliament is the highest legislative body on the mainland.
The Imperial Supreme Court can follow procedures to overturn the judgment of the Supreme Court of the Confederation or the Court of Final Appeal that violates the principles of the Imperial Constitution. However, the hearing process only focuses on the judgment that violates the Imperial Constitution, and does not involve the right or wrong of the trial result itself.
.
At the same time, the Imperial Supreme Court is also the place where disputes between the Confederacy are resolved.
The justices of the Supreme Court are nominated by the Emperor and approved by more than half of the votes of the Imperial Parliament.
The empire is a confederal system and does not have a central government. However, it has the Imperial Security Police Headquarters, which has branches in each confederation. It mainly monitors and prevents people and organizations that pose a danger to the security of the empire.
This was a clause strongly proposed by the representatives of the United Kingdom, and after several days of wrangling, an agreement was finally reached.
Imperial Security Constabulary, administered by the United Kingdom.
It is also one of the most obvious privileges of the United Kingdom.
According to the agreement, the military strength, population, and economic level of each confederation must be equivalent, and military expenditures cannot exceed 3% of the confederation's fiscal budget.
The ultimate goal is to dismantle most of the military forces and retain only the security forces.
Even after several years of war, many representatives still believe in the superstitious belief that if all armed forces are eliminated, there will be no more war.
In addition, each member of the Eastern Alliance joined the empire as a separate confederacy.
There is no doubt that this is also an extremely beneficial move for the Sonia people to divide the Eastern League.
But most of the leaders of the Eastern Alliance certainly hope to become the heads of the Confederation, rather than jointly electing a representative to represent themselves.
In this way, the number of imperial confederations reached more than thirty.
The Kingdom of Han also officially withdrew from the Eastern Economic Alliance, because regardless of the difference in size or economic development, it would be a big problem for the Kingdom of Han to continue to stay in the alliance with many poor areas in the northern region.
However, the Kingdom of Han and the Eastern Economic Union signed a memorandum of understanding, and the two parties will continue to cooperate closely and implement completely free trade without tariffs.
…
Far north, Shenlongdo.
This winter the sea actually froze and it snowed heavily.
This horrified the border residents, because according to legend, when the white snow falls, it is when the barbaric giant army attacks at the end of the iceberg snowfield in the north of the Tianshan Mountains.
Just after the New Year, while all parties in the imperial capital were still debating the content of the agreement, Lu Ming came to Shenglundo, a country within a country in the far north of the western sea.
It is separated from the Northern Territory by deep mountains and dense forests, but there are sea routes and inland trade. Because the Arctic specialties here are very rare, sea trade is very developed.
There are hundreds of thousands of businessmen, border residents, etc. living in the Shenglunduo area.
When Liu Bangchang first fled here, the Montenegrins did not have military ships in the true sense.
Three years ago, the principality's armed ships arrived in Shenlon and incorporated it into the principality's territory.
Most of Liu Bangchang's remnants surrendered, and Liu Bangchang and more than a hundred cronies, gangsters with blood-stained hands who believed they would not receive amnesty, fled into the mountains and forests.
Occasionally, mountain people encountered them being killed.
Although the local border guards organized several anti-bandit operations, Liu Bangchang's gang has never been found.
Of course Lu Ming came here not for the remnants of Liu Bangchang, but because he heard that the waters here were frozen, and one day, it snowed heavily.
Moreover, a strange phenomenon occurred in a lake in the mountains.
Feeling something in my heart, I rushed over.
He didn't come with any fanfare, but as a disaster relief specialist. Since the sea area was impassable, the organization's helicopter came across the mountains and forests, and mainly transported cotton-padded clothes and other cold-resistant materials to Sheng Lundo.
The current trend is indeed that winters in the Northern Territory are getting colder every year. Thinking of the legend of the savage giant makes people feel a little uneasy.
In Shenglunduo, it snowed again hundreds of years later. The last time it snowed heavily in Shenlunduo, according to unofficial legends, was when the last barbarian army crossed the Tianshan Mountains and invaded south thousands of years ago.
In this world, it was the first time for Lu Ming to wear a thick cotton coat, and it was also the first time that he felt the cold pain on his face like a knife being cut by the north wind.
In the home of Tuoba Sanshi, the director of the Shenglun Duo Border Defense District, a blazing fire burned in the temporary fireplace, which made it much warmer.
There are special border defense zones in Shenglun, which are managed by the Special Territories Management Office of His Majesty the King's Privy Council.
In Shenglunduo, there is a border defense battalion of nearly a thousand people stationed, and the battalion commander is Tuoba Sanshi.
Tuoba Sanshi is in his forties and looks like a very honest man. He comes from the Tuoba tribe in the grassland and is the biological brother of Tuoba Khan.
This time Lu Ming came to Shenglunduo, and he also brought Tuoba Lan with him.
Tuoba Lan wore a bright red leather jacket and leather pants, which outlined the seductive curves of her sexy figure and slender legs. She had long been a beautiful urban girl.
She lives with "Chief Wang" in Wang's house in Anxi and is a news host at Anxi TV station.
Many of the women in Wang's residence now work outside and are involved in all walks of life. They are also Lu Ming's extremely down-to-earth group of intelligence officers.
In fact, in the Royal Household Office, these women are registered as the daughters of His Majesty the King.
This time, Lu Ming came in his true form, but he was wearing sunglasses and could not take them off for 24 hours.
Tuoba Lan was no longer surprised by "Chief Wang"'s sudden transformation into the form of His Majesty the King.
She got acquainted with Bai Narcissus, Beiji and others again. From their occasional casual conversations, Tuoba Lan had a vague guess, but she didn't dare to believe it.
Children of the grasslands don't actually have that strong family ties, but when they first saw their eldest brother whom they hadn't seen for a long time, Tuoba Lan couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes.
At this time, while listening to Lu Ming chatting with his brother, Tuoba Lan did not interrupt.
"There is an armed helicopter in the helicopter formation transporting supplies. We will go to the mountains later to see if we can find the remnants of Liu Bangchang and solve the problem by the way."
Hearing Commissioner Lu's words, Tuoba Sanshi felt ashamed, "It's because my subordinates are incompetent! I've been here for a year and still haven't eliminated the banditry."
Just because of the failure to exterminate the remnants of Liu Bangchang, Tuoba Sanshi was transferred a year ago because he had experience in suppressing bandits in the White Sea, but he didn't expect that after a year, there was still no progress.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I can't blame you, but this time the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it won't be easy for Liu Bangchang and the others to hide."
He glanced at Tuoba Sanshi and said, "You reported that there was something strange about the lake in the mountains that day. You confirmed it, right? Otherwise, you can't report it to the Privy Council."
