The eight overseas territories in the war zone, the three territories of Port Vibato, Cromwell, and Beringana, do not need to worry about the Nikancha people at all. Among the three territories, except for those Nikancha people brought over by merchants,
Except for the servants, there are no settled Nikancha people.
As for the three direct jurisdictions of Tiersim, Mormali, and Arturas, after Claude's "purification operation" and the preparation of the regulations to control the Nikancha people, the Nikancha people living here in the future will
There will only be fewer and fewer Nikancha people. It can be said that these three directly governed territories have lost the environment for the Nikancha people to survive and develop.
There are many Nikancha people in the Robisto Direct Territory, but these Nikancha people do not have settlements. They have been servants in the kingdom's residents' homes for many years and can only stay in the direct jurisdiction after being guaranteed. Moreover, the Robisto Direct Territory is also the most populous.
The regulations on the control of the Nikancha people were implemented first, so there is no need to worry about the future status and development of the Nikancha people.
But as General Beach Kerin said, the Nikancha settlement in the Amphiston Territory is the party that gives Claude the most headache. The mining and business associations that used to be friendly and cooperative have now become war zones to implement the Nikancha people.
The most determined opponent of the regulations on the control of Kamchat people. The reason is very simple. The implementation of the regulations will harm the interests of those mining owners. The mining workers they employ are basically Nikancha people.
To a certain extent, the Nikancha miners in the Amphiston Territory are the most highly qualified of all the Nikancha people in the overseas territories. Under the hard work of the Mining and Commerce Association for many years, these Nikancha miners
Develop good habits of being disciplined, taking care of the family, and loving learning. Among the ten young Nikancha people, at least one or two will have the knowledge of elementary school and be able to understand newspapers, documents, notices, and boring things.
Description of mechanical equipment.
All this is due to the training and preferential treatment given to the Nikancha people by the Mining and Commerce Association. In the mines, there is no difference between the treatment of Kingdom immigrants who work as miners and the treatment of young Nikancha miners, except for an additional welfare subsidy.
, which is the same as the treatment of local miners in the kingdom. Because of this, the Nikancha settlement in the Amphiston Direct Territory is the most law-abiding and law-abiding. They can live a good life as long as they guard the mines.
.
Therefore, after the news of the independent establishment of the Nikancha people in the mountainous area north of Vibato Port reached the Amphiston Direct Territory, except for some carefree Nikancha people who wanted to move north to their own country,
Most of the Nikancha settlements are not interested in migrating. They are now very prosperous relying on the mines, and there is no need to move north and suffer.
As an elder of the Nikancha settlement said, why did they move there? For so many years, the settlement had been mining for a living, and it was impossible to carry out large-scale farming if the land was given to them, because most of them didn't know how to farm.
Even if there are mineral resources in the territory, what's the use? Who will they dig out and sell to? It's better to stay in the direct territory safely and have food and drink. As long as you have money, you can also buy some immigrants from the kingdom.
Good things that no one can afford.
This is the current situation of the Nikancha people under the direct jurisdiction of Amphiston. If the regulations on the control of the Nikancha people are to be implemented in the war zone, it will be unsatisfactory. However, Claude does not want to deal with this mess, so this matter is left to General Bolognik.
Let's go and have a headache with General Skerry. He does have an idea of drawing money from the bottom of the pot, but the current conditions are not suitable. It may be implemented in another two years.
Claude stayed in the Direct Territory of Tilsim until mid-May of the Holy Light Calendar 592 before leading the three light cavalry field regiments and the 131st Battalion of the Thunder Legion back to Lan in the Direct Territory of Anphiston.
The affairs of the three direct jurisdictions of Lake Town, Tiersim, Mormali and Arturas were all handed over to General Beach Kerin. He will sit at the Port of Corbichus and supervise the remaining more than 800,000 people.
The Nikancha people migrated north.
These three directly-administered territories have been completely brought under the jurisdiction of the war zone. It has been almost more than a year since Claude sent troops last year and returned now. The only regret for him is that after the interruption of ocean trade with the kingdom, the entire overseas
Not a single ocean-going ship from the kingdom's mainland has arrived in the direct territories, and it is not known how the two kings' struggle for the throne is going so far, and which prince has the upper hand or wears the crown.
General Bolognik looked for the owners of several ocean-going smuggling ships, hoping that they could go to the Kingdom to inquire about the news. Unfortunately, there was no news of these ocean-going smuggling ships as soon as they left. Nearly a year has passed, and they have not been seen.
They returned. What's even weirder is that not even the ocean-going smuggling ships from other countries have been to the overseas territories. It's as if the entire war zone has been forgotten by the kingdom itself, and all news from the Farea continent has been interrupted.
Claude had a lot to deal with when he returned to the theater headquarters this time. First, he had to transfer most of the veterans of the Thunder Legion to local garrison regiments, reorganize six local garrison regiments and send them to garrison in each directly-governed territory, and then recruit new soldiers to regroup.
Form the Thunder Legion. Fortunately, of the twelve local garrison regiments that were last reorganized in the war zone, two have been dispatched to the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Vibato Port to replace the Thunder Legion troops stationed there, freeing General Albert.
came out.
After a brief meeting at the theater headquarters, Claude learned from General Skerry that the Mining and Business Association had been settled by him and General Bolognik and decided to support the implementation of the Nikancha People's Control Regulations in the theater. The reason
It's very simple. The lost interests are nothing more than to be balanced with greater interests. The war zone is planning to open overseas people's livelihood banks in all direct-administered territories. If the mining and business associations want to become shareholders, they must support all policies issued by the war zone.
The equity capital of the entire Overseas Minsheng Bank is five million gold crowns, and the war zone accounts for 50% of the shares. The five generals, General Bolognik, Claude, General Skerry, General Albert Lund and General Bichklin
Each of the giants in the war zone automatically owns 2% of the shares. The remaining 40% is subscribed by the Mining and Commerce Association and 20%, and the other 10% is subscribed by powerful people in each direct territory.
For example, Sir Bennett, who was promoted to Patrol Superintendent of Eight Territories in the entire war zone, Mr. Chazolac and others subscribed. The remaining 10% of the shares were reserved as rewards for future distribution.
There is simply no such money in the war zone. The 50% stake in the Overseas Minsheng Bank and the 10% stake of the five generals are actually empty-handed, without paying a penny. And the Mining and Commerce Association's
For 20% of the shares, no money was paid, but the scrap plates for minting gold, silver and copper coins were transferred to the bank. The real money was paid by powerful local people who subscribed for 10% of the shares.
According to Viscount Goodich, the general manager of the Overseas Minsheng Bank, opening a bank does not require so much capital. The war zone only needs to be given policies and minting rights. By the way, there is also the right to print money. Everything below Silver Taller
The silver coins, copper coins and black iron coins were all changed into paper money, that is, vouchers. They were guaranteed by the credibility of the war zone and could soon be circulated in the eight directly governed territories.
In addition, the war zone has also transferred the annual tax settlement from the National Bank to the Overseas Minsheng Bank. Viscount Goodich has resigned from the position of director of the Nubissia Overseas Territory Branch of the National Bank and transferred to the Overseas Minsheng Bank.
Served as general manager.
The National Bank branch is helpless about this. First, it has lost the support of the Kingdom's local head office, and the two continents have cut off maritime transportation links. The other reason is that the Overseas Minsheng Bank wants to issue banknote vouchers, which the National Bank does not recognize.
Therefore, the tax settlement can only be transferred to Overseas Minsheng Bank. Because the war zone announced that banknote vouchers can be used to pay taxes, and as long as they are worth one silver thaler, they can be exchanged for a real large silver coin from Overseas Minsheng Bank.
The establishment of the Overseas Minsheng Bank means that the war zone will have enough funds to invest in the economic development of the overseas territories, and it also solves the dilemma of currency shortage in the overseas territories. However, Claude was not interested in this. He reorganized the Thunder Legion and
All matters of recruiting new soldiers were left to General Albert. Even General Skerry refused to discuss with him the expansion and upgrading of Lanhu Town into a city and ran directly back to Veblen Manor.
After staying in the Tiersim Direct Territory for more than a year, Claude didn't even go home. His second son, Byrgacy, didn't even recognize him as his father. His mouth opened up when Claude hugged him.
He cried, making Claude extremely embarrassed. After resting at home for a night, Claude led the guards to his sister Anna's ranch early the next morning. The new rifle came out and Claude hadn't seen it yet.
Don't know how the performance is.
Anna Ranch now seems to have become a small school. Claude adopted one hundred, fifty or sixty orphans in the ranch, and hired seven teachers to teach these male and female orphans elementary and junior high school courses, including liberal arts and physical education.
Provide guidance as well.
Only sister Anna is in the laboratory. She is teaching five newly admitted students. These are children selected from more than a hundred orphans who have magical talents and are worthy of training. Lady Sonia's son, Mallex, is also there
in.
Claude ruffled Mallex's hair: "Where is your mother?"
Little Mark replied: "Mom has gone out of town."
Sister Anna came over: "Master Bird recruited her to the Weibato Port Direct Territory, and planned to open the gun manufacturing workshop there. I heard that Master Bird found a black flint mine there, and he planned to open it there.
A workshop was set up next to the mine, so that he would not need to consider power issues when converting those hydraulic machines into fire-powered machines, and would have enough black flint for burning. He needed Sonia to help, so he left little Mark in my care.
"
The world calls coal mines black flint.
Claude looked at the other four children: "Are they all your students?"
Anna nodded: "Yes, except for little Mark, the magic talents of the four of them are similar to that of little Booker, so after I checked, I asked them to start practicing meditation two years early. This way, they can reach at least the third level when they reach adulthood.
It can come in handy."
"What's wrong with little Mark?" Claude asked concerned.
My sister Anna raised her thumb and said, "It's almost the same as me."
Claude understood that little Mark's magic talent was the same as his sister Anna's. They were both geniuses. The reason why sister Anna was unwilling to say it clearly was because she was afraid of putting pressure on the other four children. Among the three siblings, sister Anna's magic talent was the best.
Claude was second, and his younger brother Blovik was the worst. Although those four children have magic talents, their magic talents are not very good, but it is lucky to choose these four out of one hundred, fifty or sixty orphans.
If you can cultivate it, do your best to cultivate it.
The last time Claude encountered the assassination of the Gray Tower Mage, his sister Anna felt that the Field family must master a secret magical power as the family's heritage, so she was willing to personally guide and train these children with magical talents. It's just that
She didn't expect that little Mark's magic talent was almost the same as hers, which was already an unexpected surprise.
"By the way, I came here today to see your prototype rifle. I haven't seen the new rifle until now." Claude looked at the laboratory and found no trace of the new rifle.
"I have placed it next door. I will take you over to see. This rifle has been named, Sonia 591 new rifle. You allow it. To be honest, without sister Sonia, it is impossible for me to create you.
She is really a genius in firearms design for this kind of rifle..." My sister Anna is very lucky to have Mrs. Sonia to preside over the design of this new rifle. She is a pharmacy student and is incomparable in terms of mechanical design.
The talent of Lady Sonia.
In the small wooden room next door, there were five new rifles lined up against the wall. They looked similar to the rifles Claude had drawn before. Claude picked one up and weighed it. It felt like it was heavier than the Aubash Type III standard matchlock gun.
A little bit.
"The butt is 1.45 meters long, and the total length including the bayonet is 1.8 meters. The whole gun weighs 8.7 kilograms, which is about a kilogram heavier than the Obas III standard matchlock gun you are currently equipped with. But try
The guard soldier who owns the gun believes that this weight is completely bearable. Compared with the advantages of this new rifle, the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun can be thrown into the garbage heap."
Sister Anna walked up to Claude proudly, picked up another rifle and introduced it to Claude: "This new rifle has fully achieved the design goals you requested. After lengthening the bullet shell by two centimeters, the range can be improved."
Reaching a distance of about 480 meters, the hit rate of precise aiming shots within 200 meters can reach up to 91%.
The guard soldier who shot thought that it was his poor performance or continuous shooting that affected the accuracy of the hit, and it was not a problem with the gun. In addition, according to your request, we made a hole in the wooden stock under the gun body and designed
It has a magazine that can be loaded with five rounds of bullets. After each shot, the bolt is pulled, and the bullet shell will eject from the opening on the gun body. The bullet in the magazine will automatically rise and reset. Then close the bolt and you can aim and shoot again.
....”
"Let me try the gun first." Claude couldn't put it down and looked at the rifle in his hand. It's so pitiful that fourteen years have passed since he graduated from junior high school and tried to make a flintlock gun in the forest farm. Now, he finally has one.
With the advanced new rifle, he no longer has to deal with matchlock guns. Since he got the revolver, the more he looks at matchlock guns, the more alienated he feels. Now he finally has the opportunity to build the Thunder Legion into the most elite armed force in the world.
Claude consumed more than thirty bullets in one breath on the shooting range behind the wooden house, and each one hit the target. Claude felt very satisfied. The big man Germi and the rest of the guards who came with him were also satisfied.
Addicted to guns, they were full of praise for this new Sonia 591 rifle and wished they could own one right away.
"Did you find any shortcomings of this new rifle during the testing and manufacturing process?" Claude asked his sister Anna.
"Yes." Sister Anna replied: "Sister Sonia calculated the cost when she started designing large-scale mechanical production after the rifle was finalized. She said that the cost of producing 100,000 new rifles would be about seven to eight gold crowns each.
Then the sales price will be more than ten gold crowns. If one million new rifles are produced, the cost may be reduced to about five gold crowns. In short, this is the cost of equipping this new rifle in your war zone.
I won’t be able to bear it.”
Claude smiled bitterly. Among other things, the equipment price of the Obas III standard matchlock gun shipped from the Kingdom was only two gold crowns and three silver thalers. This new rifle was almost as good as four
The equipment price of the matchlock gun has been reduced. However, considering the increase in combat power, I feel that it is more cost-effective to equip this new rifle.
"There is another bad news. What I just talked about is only the price of the rifle. Don't forget that you also need bullets. If one million rounds of rifle bullets are produced, the cost price of each bullet will be about three sunars. If you multiply
At ten times, each rifle bullet can be reduced to two sunars, which is already the lowest cost. No matter how much production is produced, it cannot be reduced," said sister Anna.
