No one of the generals in the theater command, including Claude, expected that the immigration admission qualifications and personal property land exchange policies they created for the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion would give Cromwell , what a crazy wave of immigrants the two directly-administered territories of Beringana and Ghana brought. Of course, the changes were not significant in the next six months. Half a year later, facing the swarming families of officers and soldiers, several generals in the war zone pretended to be Smiling face, I can’t tell you the pain...
Take the 100,000 immigrant families of retired soldiers in the Amphiston Territory as an example. It is estimated that one officer and soldier can bring back five or six immediate relatives, which is very good. There are 130,000 soldiers in the two legions in the entire theater. How to calculate it on average? It is nothing more than about 4 to 50,000 family immigrants. This number of immigrants is not impressive at all if it is divided between the two directly governed territories. The resettlement can be completed by building a few towns.
It's just that Claude and the others forgot about the changes in the situation, coupled with the attractiveness of the rich personal property to the poor people of the kingdom, and when they stipulated that the relationship between officers and soldiers' relatives was limited to immediate relatives, they even let many of the officers and soldiers' relatives There was an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. When a grassroots retired officer came to register with forty or fifty relatives, the kinship relationship between uncles, cousins, and clan brothers was an eye-opener for the registration officer, and he even asked him out of curiosity. Can your small farm of 100 acres support so many people?
The retired officer replied that he is not afraid. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can make ends meet even by doing odd jobs in public fields. The main purpose of bringing these motley relatives here is to give them a chance. In two or three years, whether it is the Thunder Legion or the Rock Legion, they will be able to make ends meet. A group of older officers and soldiers will definitely be retired. If new soldiers need to be recruited, they can ask their relatives to apply. As long as they are recruited, if nothing else, their personal property of thirty acres of fertile land will be guaranteed. .....
Not only this retired officer thought this way, but many active-duty junior officers also thought this way. Those who were unexpectedly reminded by their friends all thought this way. In the end, even the soldiers of the legion wrote to their families, calling out. Their friends asked them to seize this opportunity. Coupled with the sluggish local economy of the kingdom, and the death of the old king Stirling X, the successor was the second prince Wedelek. The whereabouts of the eldest prince Hansback The unknown situation gave the kingdom an ominous feeling that a storm was about to come, which eventually led to the largest immigration wave in the history of the Kingdom of Orvelas...
Half a year later, nearly two to three million immigrants poured into the five directly-administered areas under the jurisdiction of the war zone headquarters, causing the entire war zone to be in a state of chaos and chaos. Almost everyone was overwhelmed by this huge wave of immigrants. I was shocked. At the same time, the changes brought by the immigration of two to three million people to the overseas territories were also very drastic, such as the offshore development from Tiersim Port to Patres Port and then to Vibato Port. Transport trade has become a very busy sea lane.
Claude is very relaxed now, and the injuries to his feet are almost healed. In addition to continuing to stay with his wife and children at the Veblen Manor, he sometimes lets the big man Gimi push his wheelchair to the open space behind the manor. The two competed on the accuracy of the revolver. How to shoot the bullet on the gun target based on the feel of the hand without the help of aiming. The two often quarreled over who was cheating and secretly aiming...
The reason why Claude and Big Germi were able to waste revolver copper-cased bullets so wantonly was that the first copper-cased bullet production line at Anna Ranch had been completed. It was a mostly manual and semi-automatic production line, employing ten people.
The family members of the legionnaires are all female workers. With nearly nine to ten hours of production a day, they can complete the filling and inspection process of more than 12,000 qualified copper-cased bullets for revolvers.
The completion of this copper-cased bullet production line means that the large-scale mechanized production of revolvers can be put on the agenda, and it can also be said that the development of long rifles can proceed normally. However, because Claude will not produce revolvers in the Kingdom,
The licensing authorization was given to the five major military industries of the old aristocratic families, so even if they could carry out large-scale mechanized production of revolvers, they could only be sold in overseas territories and could not be sold back to the kingdom.
General Bolognik and others believe that sharp weapons such as revolvers cannot be sold to the private sector and can only be purchased by the military. They are limited to twelve gold crowns per revolver, one copper-cased bullet and one silver thaler.
General Bolognik squeezed out a little military expenditure like a toothache and placed an order for a thousand revolvers, with each revolver equipped with thirty rounds of copper-cased bullets. He planned to use the revolvers as weapons for two regiment school-level officers and their
Personally accompany the guards with guns to ensure personal safety and prevent further assassinations.
This made their sisters Anna and Mrs. Sonia very disappointed. They were too lazy to develop a mechanized large-scale production line. It took them a week to refine all the accessories of the thousand revolvers in the alchemy magic array.
, and then put it up. Of course, this is a simple version without any decoration. Anyway, for the army, it just needs to be easy to use. If you want it to look good, you can think of a way yourself or pay someone to help...
So after Claude recovered from his injury, he went to his sister's ranch to inspect the progress of the long rifle developed by her and Mrs. Sonia. As a result, her sister Anna complained. Originally, her sister wanted to make a lot of money by customizing this revolver.
, but I didn’t expect that the theater command only placed a small order for a thousand revolvers.
Although the profits were huge and they earned more than 7,000 gold crowns, the busy work of the two of them that week was also very hard. And if a mechanized large-scale production line of revolvers was to be designed, the profits from these one thousand revolvers might still be enough.
The cost of infrastructure construction, equipment purchase and labor hiring for this production line is not enough.
Claude had no choice, and the theater headquarters couldn't afford more military expenditures. The royal capital and the Kingdom's Army Ministry had completely ignored the affairs of the overseas war zones. They only sent a text message last month,
It means that everything is business as usual. It is best not to bother the big guys in the capital if you have something to do. Now is the time when the situation in the kingdom is most critical...
It was indeed critical, because Prince Hansback led his personal entourage and suddenly appeared in the three eastern counties of the newly occupied territory of the former Eskiline Principality, seizing the command of the Blue Feather Army. A small-scale bloodless battle
The mutiny caused most of the senior officers of the Blue Feather Corps to be escorted back to the royal capital by their soldiers...
This was a sign that Prince Hansback was about to start a mutiny. Envoys and persuaders from the royal capital rushed to the three eastern counties of the newly occupied territory in an endless stream, hoping to eliminate the upcoming military disaster between the brothers. Therefore,
For the powerful men in the royal capital, what happened in the overseas territories of Nubisia was already insignificant, so it was best to maintain the current situation first.
The problem of tight military expenditure faced by the theater command is not in the five direct-administered territories under the jurisdiction of the theater, but in the other three overseas territories. The three overseas territories of Tilsim, Mormali, and Arturas are not in the theater command.
Within the jurisdiction of the territory, there are governors and admirals responsible for the civil and military affairs of the territories. In order to deal with the colonial war initiated by the Kingdom of Hicks, the royal capital assigned all the taxes of the three territories to the war zone as military expenses.
use.
Now these three jurisdictions have begun to refuse to hand over taxes to the war zone as military expenditures for the Thunder Legion and Rock Legion. The reason is that the port of Vibato has been captured and the colonial war is over. Therefore, the taxes collected by these three jurisdictions
Taxes must be paid to the kingdom's treasury and cannot be handed over to war zones as military expenditures. In peacetime, the military expenditures of the second-line armies in various places are guaranteed by the Kingdom's Ministry of War and cannot be collected from the local areas themselves.
This is actually a test by the governors and admirals of the three direct-administered territories to get a share of profits from taxation. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. They believe that with the current situation of the kingdom, they cannot care about such trivial matters in overseas direct-administered territories, and they
The excuses and reasons were also very legitimate. It was for this colonial war, and all taxes from overseas territories were attributed to the war zone as military expenditures for the five reinforced divisions.
Now Vibato Port has been occupied by the Kingdom and has become the eighth overseas territory of the Kingdom. This means that it is impossible to have a large-scale land war with the Kingdom of Hicks. It also means that the Kingdom has obtained this colony.
The victory of the war. Now that the colonial war is over, there is no need to turn over the tax revenue from the direct territory under your jurisdiction to the war zone as military expenditure. It can be recovered and handed over to the national treasury...
The three direct jurisdictions of Tiersim, Mormaley, and Arturas were not affected by the war. Instead, the three overseas jurisdictions of Cromwell, Beringana, and Robistoe were affected by the war.
The strategy adopted to fortify the walls and clear the country caused most of the kingdom's residents in the three jurisdictions to move to the three jurisdictions of Tilsim, Mormali, and Arturas, which brought a great deal of damage to these three jurisdictions.
Economic development. In terms of economic strength, these three jurisdictions currently have the best people's livelihood and economic development among all overseas jurisdictions.
Similarly, the annual taxes collected by these three directly-governed territories have become the mainstay of the largest military expenditure in the war zone. Now that these three directly-governed territories want to cut off this tax as the military expenditure of the war zone, they immediately asked the acting supreme commander of the war zone, Boloni
General Ke was furious and hurried to these three direct territories for discussion.
When General Skerry went to Anna Ranch to accept the thousand revolvers customized for the war zone, he commented to Claude that General Bolognik had done something wrong. He should not have gone to discuss it in such a hurry, because doing so seemed like a war zone.
If you are too nervous about this tax, it can easily be used as a blackmail by the governors and admirals. Since the governors and admirals of these three jurisdictions can ignore the orders of the Kingdom's Ministry of War and not provide tax revenue to the war zone for military expenditures, then the war zone should
Send troops there instead of General Bolognik rushing over in such a hurry...
General Skerry's worries became a reality. After General Bolonik returned, everyone learned that 30% of the tax revenue had been withheld by the governors and admirals of the three territories, saying that it was used for local public facilities in the three territories.
For infrastructure construction, the remaining 70% goes to the war zone for military expenditures. Fortunately, because of the occupation of Vibato Port, the lost military expenditures can be made up from the seizure and local tax revenue from the direct jurisdiction of Vibato Port, so it is not needed for the time being.
Worried about the lack of military spending.
From October of the 590th year of the Holy Light Calendar to April of the 591st year of the Holy Light Calendar, during these six months, whether it was the Kingdom itself or the overseas territories directly under the Nubisia Continent, as well as other parts of the Farea Continent.
Every country has had some events that will be remembered in history.
First, Sterling X, the old king of the Kingdom of Ovelas, finally went to the Kingdom of the God of War after being bedridden for many years. The will he left before leaving stated that the name of the successor was not Hans Back, who had been acting in state affairs for many years.
The eldest prince was the second prince, His Highness Wedelek, who had always been regarded as a libertine and playboy. As a result, the eldest prince ran away from the royal capital in anger, with his whereabouts unknown.
As for the colonial war that took place on the Nubisian continent, because the colonial army of the Kingdom of Ovelas captured the Hicks Kingdom's only deep-water port on the continent, the Port of Vibato, and even the Hicks Kingdom in the coastal areas of the Nubisian continent.
There is no longer a foothold, and it is impossible to increase troops to the inland colonies. The consequence is that the huge inland colonies of the Hicks Kingdom are silently encroached and annexed by the newly established Nikancha people country...
In the same year, the revolver invented by Claude, the commander of a local second-line army in the Nubicia Overseas Territory of the Kingdom of Ovelas, was authorized by the five major military industries of the Kingdom of Ovelas to produce it.
It was renamed as the Wheel Gun and began to appear on the firearms stage in the Farea continent. With its unique musket design and the convenience of continuous firing, it has won the love of countless dignitaries and is known as the first choice of self-defense weapons.
.
It is a pity that the five major military industries in the Kingdom of Ovelas did not vigorously promote the idea of this revolving gun. They only made this weapon into a noble and luxury item among firearms, and used it as an exquisite self-defense weapon and gift.
Come to give away and sell. Each wheeled gun is engraved with exquisite family patterns and gold and silver rims. The lowest value of the wheeled gun is more than a hundred gold crowns. The powerful and wealthy people from all over the mainland
Everyone has a beautiful musket as a goal to show off to others...
In February of the 591st year of the Holy Light Calendar, His Highness Hans Backer, the missing great prince of the Kingdom of Overas, suddenly appeared in the three eastern counties of the border and seized the command of the Blue Feather Legion, one of the king's ace legions.
, the situation in the kingdom immediately became tense, and it seemed likely that a civil war would break out in the kingdom.
Compared with the big news brought by Prince Hansback, the disputes over taxation and military expenditures in overseas territories seemed a bit calm, and the war zone suffered a big loss.
What caused an even greater sensation in the Farea Continent in March was a drama written and directed by King Melchid III of the Kingdom of Hicks, which shocked all countries on the continent and refreshed their understanding of the limits of this king.
The cause of the incident lies in the three members of the Gray Tower Master who were brought back to the royal capital by the special envoy. These three captives soon placed a reward on the King of Hicks Kingdom, Melchid III, on the Gray Tower Master, and offered a large sum of money to request the Gray Tower Master to dispatch them.
The personnel went to the Overseas Directly Administered War Zone of Nubicia Continent and assassinated several generals in the war zone. They must make the Overas Kingdom Colonial Legion fall into civil strife and have no time to attack the Vibato Port to delay the time. The intention was confessed and made public.
It aroused strong public comments from all the countries in the Farea continent.
But King Mechid III of the Hicks Kingdom was very thick-skinned and claimed that he had been smeared and wrongfully accused. He had never offered a bounty to hire any Gray Tower mage to assassinate him. All of this was the fault of the Kingdom of Ovelas
Pouring sewage on yourself and so on.
However, due to the solid evidence, public opinion was more biased in favor of the Kingdom of Ovelas. So in mid-March, Melchid III held a banquet for envoys from various countries and reiterated that he had nothing to do with the assassination. In the middle of the banquet, palace guards came
The report said that a special envoy from the Kingdom of Ovelas came to ask for an audience. This made the envoys from various countries sitting here interested and felt strange. They had never heard that the Kingdom of Ovelas sent a special envoy. In addition, the Kingdom of Hicks did not
Deny entry to the envoy from the Kingdom of Ovelas?
It's just that the two so-called envoys of the Kingdom of Ovelas who appeared in front of everyone behaved very strangely. Not only did they not behave like envoys, but they only knew how to move closer and were more than ten meters away from Melchid III.
He took off his envoy's ceremonial robe, revealing the gray robe underneath, and launched a magical attack on Melchid III!
According to the description given by one of the envoys present, there were an unknown number of magical defensive spells covering the body of Melchid III. The light emitted when it collided with the offensive spells blinded the eyes of many envoys present. Those two pretenders
The special envoy's gray-robed magician was captured on the spot, and then immediately confessed that the eldest and second princes of the Kingdom of Ovelas hired their gray tower wizards to assassinate Melchid III...
It is a pity that Stirling X is dead, and Melchid III can only blame the two princes. He completely forgot that the two princes were at war with each other at the moment and were preparing to fight for the throne. How could they conspire to assassinate him?
The king of this kingdom of Hicks...
In addition, the two assassins were not professional. They pretended to be Gray Tower mages and came to the door to be arrested. Many envoys present saw the trick and watched with a smile as Majede III performed a thief shouting "Catch the thief"
A good show, and I have a deeper understanding of the king's lower limit.
After this assassination drama spread to the Kingdom of Ovelas, it was said that the Kingdom's Prime Minister, Duke Duncan, was so angry that he vomited blood at the shamelessness of Melchid III. But now the kingdom is facing the outbreak of a new civil war. In order to calm down the two
The dispute between two princes, the kingdom is not yet able to care about these with the Kingdom of Hicks...
