"Has Senator Andecolos' packhorse team returned?" Claude asked.
Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes, the adjutant, replied: "No, a few days ago, after they transported the military supplies to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik and handed them over to Colonel Bokoal, the packhorse team returned to the border of the Lomonkdo Mountains and rested for two days before loading some more.
The smuggled supplies were set off.
Representative Andkolos and his smuggling association built a large camp on the border of the Lomonkdo Mountains. They first transported the goods from Monknad City through the inland of the Nikancha country by horse-drawn carriages.
The goods were transported by road to the camp on the border of the Lomonque Mountains, and then the goods were smuggled by packhorse teams to the interior of the colonies on the west coast.
In addition, the smuggling chamber also ordered a large number of light rails from the rail manufacturing workshop, saying that they were going to be laid on the secret passage. I thought they were going to build a railway, but after asking around, I found out that they were saying they were going to build a horse-drawn track.
The railway track can save half the journey time and the number of pack horses consumed.
In addition, the smuggler will build three storage camps on the secret passage to store smuggled goods, which will speed up the delivery of materials. However, their road construction brigade and the neighboring Nikancha settlement
There were several fights, all over trivial matters, but they all used fists and kicks instead of weapons..."
Claude was very satisfied with his adjutant. At least he was able to clearly understand the current trends of the smuggling association organized by Senator Anderos: "Send a notice to Senator Anderos, saying that they named it
The name of the Smuggling Association is too unpleasant. Let’s change it to the Free Trade and Transport Association from now on.”
"Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes wrote down Claude's request in his notebook.
"How long does it take for General McJack to come back?"
Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes picked up a folder from the table, read it and replied: "It may take about ten days. The Falcon sent a message the day before yesterday saying that General McJack has completed the reorganization of the local garrison in Vibato Port State. Finally,
His trip is to Rocky Mountain Prefecture. He can only return to Lanhu City after the two local garrison regiments in Rocky Mountain Prefecture are reorganized."
Claude nodded, took out a cigar from the cigarette box on the table, lit it and took a deep breath: "Is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?"
"Yes, you haven't approved the application document from General Drivek. Today is the third day." Adjutant Mason Hughes reminded.
General Derivick was responsible for recruiting the freed Hicks prisoners to join the so-called volunteer division. Unexpectedly, fifty or sixty thousand people came at once. This had exceeded the scheduled number of divisions. Hicks was defeated and later
The people were very unconvinced and made noise outside the barracks every day. General Derivic had to send someone to tell Claude the news and ask for instructions on what to do...
Claude gritted his teeth: "Forget it, let's form another Hicks division and let General Xibilos Tower Borriot serve as the commander of this new division. I'm considering Pa.
If the Migal people can really seize the colony of the Molossik Kingdom and establish an independent country, then the Molossik Kingdom will probably send an expeditionary force to the Nubisian continent. By then, the newly-established Hicks will be the second choice
The division will come in handy..."
Anyway, the military expenses of these two Hicks volunteer divisions are advanced by the Dominion Military Region. After the Pamigal people establish an independent country, they can be converted into loans or repaid with interest. So Claude doesn't care.
By forming an additional volunteer division, we must not chill the hearts of those Hicks prisoners who volunteered to join the army. No matter what their personal motives were, their willingness to shed blood and sacrifice for the overseas dominions could not be easily let down.
No one knows what the Pamigal people will encounter after the armed uprising. Whether the Morosik Kingdom will counterattack is unpredictable. Perhaps the two neighboring countries and colonies will even send troops after the Pamigal people establish an independent country.
Intervention. It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared at that time. One more division means more combat power for counterattack. Otherwise, there will be insufficient troops by then, and it will be too late to regret after the defeat. We cannot let the autonomous military region go into battle naked.
Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes took notes and continued to report to Claude on the official business he had to handle: "Master Bird and General Murray Ed sent people to deliver documents, saying that they were the first batch of armored battleships delivered to the Royal Capital.
The decoration has been completed. Please take some time to inspect it in the next few days..."
Claude nodded: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will go to Patres Military Port in the afternoon of tomorrow, and we will come back after two days."
Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes nodded and wrote down Claude's itinerary in his notebook: "Mr. Veblen reported that the first batch of new matchlock guns and other weapons and ammunition, as well as the old-fashioned throwers produced by the Hicks Kingdom, are all
It has been transported to the military camp, and the Hicks First Volunteer Regiment can immediately start musket shooting training."
"Let General Derivic be responsible for checking the advantages and disadvantages of this new matchlock gun. If there are no problems, this Veblen Zero-2 standard matchlock gun can be mass-produced and equipped. In addition, a small batch will be shipped to
Boquear, give it to the Pamigar people to try first, so that they can test the performance of the new musket." Claude thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes started taking notes in his notebook again.
"Is there any new news from the Kingdom?" Claude asked.
"It's still old news from four days ago," Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes said: "The border territory of the Nasseri area was plundered by bandits from the Monbamak Kingdom, and small-scale conflicts broke out. The kingdom sent a special envoy to visit the Monbamak Kingdom to seek a solution to the ongoing situation.
The problem of border bandits is becoming more and more serious. The kingdom's three main field ace legions began to equip new rifles, General Albert once again annihilated a nomadic tribe in the Karnas Prairie, Beibu Gulf began to plan the expansion of new territories, etc...
..”
Claude sighed, these are all old news, he has already seen them.
Colonel Mason Hughes took notes, saluted, and when he was about to leave the office, he stopped again: "Marshal, I want to leave the army..."
"Huh?" Claude looked up and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes: "Do you want to go down and become a unit commander? Where are you going?"
"General Drivick said that if you agree, he will leave me the position of regimental commander." Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes replied.
"This bastard, you've already poached me." Claude cursed and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes: "Okay, I promise you, but I'll give you three days to find a better one for me.
The adjutant will come. Otherwise, you won’t be able to become the leader..."
"Yes, follow your orders." Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes saluted again excitedly: "I will find it for you right now, and I will ensure that I find you a satisfactory adjutant."
"Hey, take care of the official business I asked you first!" Claude shouted towards the closed office door, smiled and shook his head. This guy has been with me for several years, he should be put down to work alone.
Talking about it. Speaking of which, of the adjutants I have ever followed, Mike Jack and Mason Hughes were the most user-friendly and considerate ones, so I was really reluctant to leave them.
On October 14, 602 in the Holy Light Calendar, a riot broke out among the Pamigar people in the colony of the Kingdom of Molossik on the west coast. It is said that the cause of the incident was that the authorities of Ubilis City, the colony of the Kingdom of Molossik, forcibly raped the local Pamigars.
The Gars levied a tax on self-spun linen, which was to impose a high tax on the linen spun by the Parmigals themselves, which resulted in the Parmigals rioting.
The Kingdom of Morosik is rich in fine linen, and most of the linen is shipped to the colonies to be sold at high prices. The Pamigal people in the colonies were unwilling to be taken advantage of, so they grew their own burlap and woven into cloth. Then the linen of the Kingdom of Morosik
Merchants colluded with local officials and issued strict bans on the use of farmland to grow burlap in many towns in the colony, so that the linen cloth from the kingdom could be sold throughout the colony.
It's just that these businessmen and local officials thought too simply. If they are not allowed to grow burlap in farmland, they can grow it in the wild. Anyway, burlap has very simple land requirements. The Pamigal people often bring a handful of burlap with them.
The seeds are dispersed as they travel in the wild. After about half a year, the wild field will be covered with burlap. It can be harvested, soaked, and glued away, and the hemp silk can be used for spinning and weaving.
So these linen merchants and local officials were very angry, and they issued another ban. That is, whoever has a textile machine at home will have to pay a high self-spun linen tax, which means that if your home has a textile machine,
, they would weave burlap and trade privately, harming the interests of the colony. There were only two options, either to pay money as taxes or to confiscate the textile machines.
These days, a wooden loom is already a dowry treasure for a Pamigar woman. With the loom, she can support herself, and even if she has no money, she can spin fine burlap and use it as currency.
Some ingenious Pamigal women can weave burlap into fabrics that are as good as fine linen.
If the linen cloth shipped from the Morosik Kingdom could be sold at a low price, maybe the business would be good. Unfortunately, the linen merchants of the Morosik Kingdom were too greedy and wanted to use linen cloth to plunder the wealth of the Pamigal people.
The price was five times higher than the linen cloth shipped from the kingdom to other countries. As a result, these linen cloths became unsaleable and few Pamigal people were willing to buy them.
Originally, the reason could be that there were too many fine linens smuggled in from the overseas dominions and the price was too cheap, but after the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik also imposed a trade ban on the overseas dominions, the smuggled goods and fabrics were no longer available.
The local linen in the Rosik Kingdom is still unsaleable. In order to force the Pamigal people to come to buy these high-priced linens, these linen merchants and local officials set aside the tax on self-spun linen, thinking that without the textile machine, you will always buy it.
Our linen cloth, otherwise we will be naked...
At the beginning of the riot, the weapons used by the Pamigal people were stones, daggers, spears, homemade bows and arrows. They were easily dispersed by the colonial garrison and local garrison armed forces with muskets. The streets were littered with the corpses of the rioters. From Moro
The colonial officials and garrison troops of the Sik Kingdom thought that this riot was just like the past and would be put down within three days.
But none of them expected that the riot would last for half a month. The weapons in the hands of the Pamigal people who appeared at the end had been replaced by a new type of matchlock gun, and they seemed to have undergone strict military training.
A battalion of garrison troops and a brigade of local garrison troops in the colony of Eubilis City soon suffered heavy losses, and the entire city was lost.
The fall of Ubilis City shocked the colonial authorities of the Morosik Kingdom. It was not until then that they learned that the organizer of the Parmigals who initiated the rebellion was the bastard Baron Tezzinger No. who had been ridiculed.
La Taganem, he announced the formation of the Parmigal National Liberation Front in the city of Ubilis, dedicated to the national liberation and independent nation-building of the Parmigal people. Countless Pamigar people went to Ubilis.
Sicheng...
Claude was actually very annoyed because the Pamigal rebellion that occurred in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik was an unexpected situation and was not within the plan. The Hicks First Volunteer Division that had been formed here was still there.
He stayed in the military camp outside Lanhu City for training and did not leave for the colony of the Morosik Kingdom.
"They were almost two and a half months ahead of schedule. Most of the Pamigar people who participated in the riot were young and strong and had not even completed three months of military training. Nikancha people are Nikancha people, and their unorganized and undisciplined habits have already
It's integrated into their blood. They can't change this bad habit just by changing their name to Pamigars!" General Netas Barravagues, the head of the staff department, was very annoyed. He hated that everything was not in accordance with the rules.
A person who plans to act.
"The Falcon message sent by Colonel Bockal stated that the reason for the early launch of the armed uprising was that many Pamigals were killed in Ubilis City, many of whom were young relatives and relatives of those Pamigals who were in training.
When the family members heard the bad news, the young men couldn't help but feel anger and hatred. They secretly returned to Eubilis City with weapons and ammunition to participate in the riot.
For this reason, they had no choice but to launch an uprising in advance. Fortunately, the Morosik Kingdom's colonial garrison and local defense forces were weak and had low combat effectiveness. They were no match for these Parmigals who had undergone brief military training. Ubili
When Sichengluo fell into the hands of the Pamigal National Liberation Front, Tezsingh Nora Taganem had to stand up, otherwise others would take away his title as the leader and his qualifications as commander...
..”
McJack looked at the Falcon Message in his hand and explained that the incident happened so suddenly that even Colonel Boquear over there could only go along with the situation and could not stop the young people of Pamigal from avenging their relatives and stopping this riot.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, what should we do now? Should we suspend the training of the Hicks First Volunteer Division and let them prepare their weapons and set off immediately to support the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik?" asked General Fodeles, the head of the Military Intelligence Department.
.
Claude waved his hand and asked McJack: "Did Colonel Boquear request immediate military assistance from our Dominion Military Region in this Falcon letter?"
"No, he just explained the reason for launching this armed uprising in advance, and didn't say anything else." McJack replied.
Claude laughed: "Then let's forget about the riots of these Pamigals. General Netas just said it is right. The Nikanchas are the Nikanchas. If they don't change their name to the Pamigals, they will be gone."
Those bad habits of the Kamchat people. I think this will not be easy for Colonel Bokoar and the officers we sent, because the Parmigals will get carried away just because they easily captured the city of Ubilis.
...
It is said that the Pamigal rebellion has never been victorious in the past two hundred years, and they have never captured any city. I believe that this time the city of Eubilis fell into their hands will definitely make them confident in themselves, and what will happen next
Sweeping through most of the Morosik Kingdom's colonies, countless towns will fall into their hands.
They have no shortage of people. Didn't Colonel Bokoal say that there are countless Pamigar people who have come to defect to that Tezzinger Nora Taghanem, plus more than 20,000 people who have undergone short-term military training and learned how to use matchlocks?
Pamigal is young and strong, and the colonial garrison and local defense forces of the Morosik Kingdom are no match for them..."
"Then the plan we made and such a large investment were not in vain?" General Senanov, the head of the Finance Department, was a little anxious. If the Pamigars alone captured the colonies of the Morosik Kingdom and established an independent country, then the formation of the Dominion Military District would be
The military expenses of the two Hicks Volunteer Corps have to be borne by themselves.
However, General Fodeles, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, laughed: "Don't worry, Marshal Claude's words are still full of meaning. The Pamigars can sweep through most of the colonies of the Morosik Kingdom, but they cannot occupy the entire colony alone. Wait for Morosik
The Kingdom of Croatia reacted and dispatched a legion from the Kingdom's mainland to suppress it. These Pamigal people suffered a lot. We can be patient and wait until they are defeated and ask for our support before taking action. In the end
These Palmigal people will be willing to pay a higher price in return for our help."
General Netas, the head of the staff department, nodded: "General Fodeles is right, it will not be too late for us to take action at that time. But what I am most worried about is that the Reese adjacent to the colony of the Morosik Kingdom
Will the colonies of the Kingdom of Nia and the Colony of the Principality of Vasilko get involved in the Pamigal rebellion?
If the colonial garrisons of these two countries help the Morosik Kingdom suppress the Pamigal rebellion, I doubt that the Pamigal people can persist until the day when our support arrives..."
Claude shook his head: "This situation will basically not happen, because the Kingdom of Morosik and the Principality of Vasilko were originally enemy countries, and there have been several wars whether on the Farea continent or the West Coast Colony. If
If it were not for the support of the Opsaro City-State Alliance behind the Vasiliko Principality, the Vasiliko Principality would have been destroyed by the Morosik Kingdom long ago.
As for the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia, they are the most important targets of the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik. The two countries have had several conflicts over the colonial borders, and the relationship is not very good. Now the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik has Pami.
When the Gals rebelled, the two colonies would only rejoice in their misfortune, wishing that the Morosik Kingdom would be unlucky and the Pamigals in the colonies would establish an independent country.
Because only in this way can they send troops to the Pamigal country to seize this colony afterwards, so they will never send troops in the early stages of the Pamigal rebellion, and may even provide private support to the Pamigal people...
