When Count Wenger heard Amuro's name for the first time, he didn't have much reaction. However, when he took out a stack of sealed documents, he suddenly woke up and looked at the man in front of him with wide eyes.
He had heard about this legendary man who in just a few years created the Raytheon Group, a conglomerate that was as wealthy as any country.
At that time, as a nobleman, he realized that even Grand Duke Soros might not be as rich as this man if he could do business to such an extent.
Not to mention that with the help of Amuro, Archbishop Ella grew from scratch to the current President of the Republic.
Count Wenger quickly recovered from his surprise and said gently and slowly: "This is the document of canonization of me by the Duke and Royal Family. These are the land documents in my territory. This is the list of my properties except the castle.
"
Then he looked at the document in Aslan's hand and nodded slightly: "Where do I sign?"
Obviously, he has resigned himself to his fate. Since the Republic of Chil sent such a big shot to take over his territory, it is considered as giving him enough face.
Aslan was stunned for a moment. This situation was beyond his expectation, but he quickly reacted and handed over the document: "At the end of the document."
Count Wenger took the printed piece of paper, glanced at it briefly, and then picked up the dip pen that had been prepared. After bringing the pen tip close to the paper twice, he smiled bitterly and looked up at Amuro: "Amuro
Sir, can I sign after finishing this meal?"
"Okay!" Aslan calmly looked at the count who was located in the southernmost part of the Principality of Soros, and the entire territory was at the junction of the Republic of Chil, and said calmly: "We will watch you finish eating here."
Count Wenger smiled as he ate his last dinner in the territory. From now on, he would no longer be a nobleman, or a nobleman without a territory.
The dinner ended with leisurely music. Count Wenger put the last piece of steak into his mouth, took another sip of red wine, and reluctantly signed the document.
The content of the document is very simple. Count Wenger of the Principality of Soros surrenders unconditionally to the Republic of Chil, dedicates all its territory to the Republic, and becomes a member of the Republic from now on.
"Very well! Welcome Count Wenger as a member of the Republic."
Aslan smiled and shook hands with Count Wenger, who shook his head with a smile.
"Mr. Amuro, it's a great honor to meet you."
Aslan smiled and said: "I am also very honored to know you. If the nobles were as enlightened as you, there would not be so many wars in the Federation."
Count Wenger wanted to say that every war involving territory is meaningful and valuable.
"The territory is all nationalized, but your manor and castle are still retained. They are your personal property. However, as the mutated monsters approach, this place will also become the front line. For this reason, I chose to build a logistics base here..."
Aslan introduced his purpose with a smile, and finally gave a price under Count Wenger's shocked eyes.
"Twenty thousand dollars a year? Regardless of whether the war ends in half a year or a year, it will still be twenty thousand dollars. As the war goes by, I will rent your manor for twenty thousand dollars every year."
Count Wenger nodded in shock.
Twenty thousand U.S. dollars was not much. His territory could provide him with an income of forty to fifty thousand U.S. dollars every year. However, he did not expect that his manor and castle could still be preserved. Moreover, the Republic of Chil still had such rules, which left him speechless.
………………
In the large command vehicle, Garcia left the communication station and came to Archbishop Ella: "Count Wenger has signed it, and there is really no battle."
Garcia's face was full of disbelief.
An earldom with a huge area, the land is not barren, and overall it is even considered wealthy, but it has simply accepted the management of the Republic of Chel.
You must know that the nobles of the Republic have only empty titles and do not have noble fiefdoms. Once they surrender, they will completely lose their territory.
Archbishop Ella just smiled nonchalantly: "This should be a relief for the earl. At least he finally doesn't have to worry all day about whether he should insist on being a noble of the Principality of Soros or quickly switch to become a noble of the Republic.
Yes, the territory may be very important, but the key is still money. This earl has purchased a lot of properties in Chester. He thinks he is secretive, but in fact they are all under the control of the church."
Garcia nodded in understanding.
If Count Wenger chooses war, then his property in Chester will be confiscated. After being defeated by the Republic, he will only end up with nothing. Surrendering can at least guarantee the property in Chester, and with Amuro's
Character, certain compensation will be given.
After saying that, his attention returned to the battle map in front of him.
On this precise map, the Principality of Soros is built on the Guyana Plain, which is one of the four major plains of the Federation.
The Guyana Plateau is located in the northeastern part of the Federation, south of the Orinoco River and north of the Asun River.
Today, more than a quarter of the Soros Principality has been marked in dazzling red.
The Orinoco River that runs north to south and the Federal Avenue along the Orinoco River are marked in eye-catching blue and white.
Two arrows have been marked on the Orinoco River and Federal Avenue. They are the river fleet moving north along the river, and the army troops advancing north along Federal Avenue and the plain area.
The so-called fleet is actually composed of more than 20 small and medium-sized inland river gunboats, with a displacement of a little more than 25 tons. They are called 25-ton gunboats. They are 18 meters long, 3.6 meters wide, and have a maximum draft of 1.6 meters. They are flat-deck boats and semi-armored.
The cab is a semi-buried structure.
It has a maximum speed of 11 knots and a range of about 300 nautical miles. Its shallow draft is very suitable for traveling on rivers and lakes. It is also a good surface combat equipment for the many lakes and rivers in the Federation.
The weapons and equipment are very distinctive. A 120mm mortar is installed on the bow of the boat, and an L1 heavy machine gun is installed on the top of the cockpit behind it, without armor protection.
The rear half of the hull is the crew cabin, which can accommodate two infantry squads of soldiers. There is an L1 heavy machine gun above the crew cabin.
The performance of this kind of gunboat is not very strong, but for federal countries with weak industrial production capacity, such gunboats can also roam the inland rivers and lakes within the federal territory with great force.
His battle plan is clear and he has reached an agreement with the army generals and staff. The most important goal is to complete the cutting and blockade of the entire contaminated area in the eastern part of the Guyana Plain!
This is also the first time that the gunboat has been put into the battlefield, but Archbishop Ella has high hopes for it.
There is no other reason. The firepower is there. For the existing firepower of the Nationalist Army, it can be described as powerful. With the ability to maneuver quickly on the water, it is simply invincible.
