Chapter five hundred and forty-seven secret letter from General Scree
Chapter 547 A secret message from General Skerry
Claude knew very well that the overseas dominions had intervened in the colonies of various countries on the west coast. The only thing they could get without any worries was the Rodex Bay Colony, which belonged to the United Kingdom of Fox Islands. The reason was very simple. First, this colony was connected to
The mountainous areas to the east and north of the Rocky Mountain State just make up for the map gap of this state. With this Rodex Bay Colony, the Rocky Mountain State looks much more complete.
The second reason is that there is no indigenous population in this Rodex Bay colony, which brings great convenience to the jurisdiction of overseas autonomous territories. The west and south sides of the Nubicia continent are centered on Cape Molox.
The dividing line is that Cape Morox is a small peninsula part of the Rocky Mountains that goes deep into the sea. Rodericks Bay Colony is the bay plain area surrounded by the Cape Morox Mountains and the Inland Mountains.
At that time, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands made Rodex Bay Colony its fourth colony on the west coast. As a result, it found that there was little room for expansion in this colony and there was no interest in opening it. Therefore, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands did not include Nikancha.
Human settlements were transported here as labor objects, so much so that the Rodex Bay Colony only built a Rodex Bay City next to the bay. The residents in it were all immigrants from the United Kingdom of Fox Islands, and the most people around them were hired workers.
One or two Nikancha servants and maids...
The Dominion Military Region presided over by Claude would rather stir up a wave of free liberation and independent nation-building for indigenous peoples in the colonies on the West Coast than let the overseas Dominions directly send troops to occupy the colonies on the West Coast. The main reason is to avoid trouble and sequelae. The entire West Coast
There are nearly 60 million people in colonies of various countries, of which the ratio of indigenous people to immigrants from various countries in Farea Continent is about ten to one. That is, there are about 55 million indigenous people and 500 white immigrants from various countries in Farea Continent.
Around 10,000.
Judging from the map, the southern coastal area of Nubisia Continent is the Overseas Autonomous Territory, and behind Cape Morox is Rocky Mountain State. Bounded by Cape Morox, the part of Rocky Mountain State that belongs to the west coast is
The gap, the gap is the Rodex Bay Colony. Adjacent to the Rodex Bay Colony is the Resnian Kingdom Colony. This is the second colony of the Resnian Kingdom on the west coast, larger than the first colony.
Smaller.
Next to the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia is the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik. Now the Pamigar people in this colony have launched an armed uprising and will soon regain the entire territory and establish an independent country. The area adjacent to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik
It is the Vasiliko Principality Colony, and further away is the Opsaro City-State Alliance Colony. On the other side of the Opsaro City-State Alliance Colony is the third colony of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands.
The Overseas Dominion Military District can annex the Rodkers Bay Colony and make it part of the Rocky Mountain State. The main reason is that this colony has no indigenous tribes, is quiet, easy to govern, and is integrated with the Rocky Mountain State.
The transportation of mineral resources produced in Rocky Mountain State is extremely convenient. At the same time, Rodex Bay will also become the garrison of the armored fleet of the overseas autonomous military region, so that the coastal areas of the autonomous region do not have to worry about threats from the sea to the west.
If the Overseas Dominion Military Region continues to reach out and occupy the colonies of the Kingdom of Resnia, the colonies of the Kingdom of Morosik, and the colonies of the Vasilko Principality and the colonies of the Opsaro City-State Alliance further away, it will be a headache.
How to manage the indigenous tribes in these colonies, the so-called various ethnic groups that split from the Nikancha people...
For example, in the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia, there are more than three million Rusmans living in the semi-desert and semi-hilly area. The colony of the Kingdom of Morosik has five million Pamigar people. There is also the Principality of Vasilko.
In the colony, there are two indigenous peoples who call themselves the Skolos and the Gisdes, each with a population of more than two million.
I think back then, Claude took advantage of the good opportunity of the establishment of the Nikancha people's country to carry out a purification operation on the overseas autonomous territories. He directly packaged and forcibly moved the more than two million Nikancha people living within the autonomous territories to the Nikancha people's country.
The overseas autonomous territories became the domain of immigrants from the Kingdom of Orvelas. Although there are still Nikancha people living in the overseas autonomous territories, they are a very small minority and do not pose any threat or influence to the autonomous territories.
Therefore, the Dominion Military Region can provoke the indigenous peoples in the colonies on the West Coast to carry out armed uprisings in order to obtain national liberation and independent nation building, but it has no intention to occupy those colonies on the West Coast. For the overseas autonomous territories, the land they have already occupied is enough
Even if there are more than one or two hundred years, there will still be enough land waiting to be opened. There is really no need to go to the west coast to get involved, not to mention that these colonies close to overseas autonomous territories are also very ordinary...
This is also the goal of the Wildfire Plan presided over by Claude, which is to use the West Coast as the back garden of the overseas autonomous territories, a dumping ground for goods, and to find a long-term sales market for the overseas autonomous territories. As long as these indigenous peoples can establish independent countries, so many
The commodities needed by the population are sufficient to sustain the Dominion's commercial and manufacturing industries for a longer period of time.
"Report!"
"Come in." Claude said.
The door of the office was pushed open, and the new adjutant, Captain Fahsselin, came in. He was originally the executive officer of the Logistics Department and was responsible for implementing various specific measures formulated by the Logistics Department. Executive officers like him have many roles in the Logistics Department.
Many, he himself somehow caught the eye of Lieutenant Colonel Mason Hughes and recommended him to Marshal Claude to take over the position of personal adjutant. It has been half a month since he joined the job, and his performance is not bad, but not satisfactory.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, this is a falcon message from General Skerry, with an eagle feather on it." Captain Fahsselin held a secret letter with an eagle feather attached in his hand.
If there are three eagle feathers on the letter, it means that it is top secret and urgent and must be dealt with immediately. If there is only one eagle feather, it means that the letter must not be shared, which means that the person who handles the confidential letter has read it.
The content of the message must not be disseminated to the outside world. The main purpose is to prevent the people at the eagle pick-up and drop-off communication office from talking nonsense to the outside world. There is no problem in saying a few words about the message without eagle feathers, but if the message with eagle feathers is posted, it must be accepted.
Military justice.
General Skerry is responsible for the construction and unified planning of the hereditary family territories of all kingdom nobles in the overseas autonomous territories in the Beibu Gulf, the coastal area of the Karnas Prairie in the eastern Farea Continent. Since the secret message he came from is not top secret or urgent, then naturally
You can wait for a while before dealing with it. At this moment, Claude is mentally calculating the amount of material delivery on a document.
"Put it on the table first. I'll look at it later." Claude said.
Captain Fahsselin gently placed the secret letter on the table, saluted again, and then quietly exited Claude's private office.
After more than ten minutes, Claude put down the document in his hand, picked up the signature quill, signed his name on the document, and stamped his seal. This meant that the document had passed his review and could be sent back to the original place.
department to implement the contents of this document. Of course, the documents that Claude can review are all major decisions related to the Dominion Military Region. For example, this document is about mobilizing the third division of the Rock Army to the front line. How much is needed?
Transportation capacity, military supplies, ammunition, supplies, and uniforms of the Hicks Volunteer Corps, etc.
Although staff from various departments have already calculated the approximate material consumption and ammunition supply quantity on this document, Claude still has to do his own mental calculations to see if there are any omissions. As the highest military commander of the overseas autonomous military region
People are not just on the front lines commanding troops to fight in high spirits. Most of the real energy spent is actually on the collection and deployment of logistics materials. When fighting a war, logistics is the only thing that matters. This is indeed a wise saying.
Picking up the secret letter from General Skerry, Claude opened it, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood why General Skerry had attached an eagle feather to this falcon letter. The content of the letter was similar to that of Skerry.
The construction of the Beibu Gulf Territory that the general is responsible for has nothing to do with it. It has something to do with the overseas dominions. It can be said that it has nothing to do with it. It is talking about what happened to the Hicks prisoners after they returned home.
When Claude first returned to the overseas dominions, he also dealt with the application of Hicks prisoners to return to the country. The main reason was that nearly half a million Hicks prisoners had served five to eight years in the overseas dominions and were granted
However, because the Hicks Kingdom has not yet signed an armistice and peace agreement with the Ovelas Kingdom, these 500,000 Hicks prisoners cannot return to the country and can only stay in the overseas autonomous territories and work to make a living.
Of course, it is impossible for the overseas autonomous territories to release these 500,000 Hicks captives back. These are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. They are a powerful force when they put on military uniforms and take up arms. In the Kingdom of Hicks and the Kingdom of Overas,
As the overseas autonomous territories are still in a state of war, it is natural that these Hicks prisoners cannot be released back home.
The funny thing is that the Kingdom of Hicks is not adjacent to the Kingdom of Ovelas, and the two sides are not at war. However, in order to fight for peace, the Kingdom of Hicks did not send envoys to sue for peace. As the victor, Austria
Of course, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Vilas to take the initiative to send an envoy there. In the past, King Mechid III of the Kingdom of Hicks had insulted the envoy of the Kingdom of Ovilas. Who knows if he will go crazy again this time. So, this is strange
The state of war has remained in a stalemate until now.
As a result, the more than 500,000 Hicks prisoners stranded in the overseas autonomous territories were in misfortune and could not return to their country. The Dominion Military District was a little surprised at first, why did the Hicks Kingdom ignore these more than 500,000 captives?
Q. After all, it is an armed force belonging to the Hicks Kingdom. How could it not even send an envoy to ask about the situation of the prisoners?
As a result of the investigation, it was discovered that these 500,000 captured people belonged to the territorial noble faction in the Kingdom of Hicks. They were either the private armed forces of the territorial nobles or the local garrison troops of the territorial nobles, or they were forcibly recruited from the noble territories.
Young and strong. For King Melchid III, without these 500,000 captured people, the territorial nobles would have no force to oppose him, and the entire Hicks Kingdom was in his hands...
By now, including the service period, the earliest batch of Hicks prisoners have been living in the overseas autonomous territories for nearly ten years. Some of them want to naturalize and settle in the overseas autonomous territories, and some want to return to the country to visit their families and take them back overseas.
Life in the Dominion. While more freed Hicks prisoners were earning money and working, they also hoped that the two countries would end the war as soon as possible and sign an armistice and peace agreement, so that they could directly return home to reunite with their relatives.
When Claude received a report that more than 100,000 Hicks prisoners had written applications, hoping to let them return to the Hicks Kingdom to reunite with their families, he decided to make an opening first and settled on two thousand
The quota of people. Half a year ago, the two thousand Hicks prisoner representatives who were allowed to leave the overseas autonomous territories were sent back to the Farea Continent. They first arrived in the Beibu Gulf, and then sent them to the Kingdom of Hicks through ships from other countries...
...
Claude still remembered that when the two thousand Hicks prisoners took the train from Lanhu City to the port of Copicius to board the ship, each of them carried a bulging bag of letters that other prisoners asked them to take back.
Letters from home. At that time, the train station was crowded with people who came to see off the Hicks prisoners. The two thousand Hicks prisoners who got on the train even patted their chests and said that they would send everyone's letters home to their relatives.
, let relatives know that everyone is still alive...
This letter from General Skerry told Claude a somewhat cruel news. After the two thousand captive representatives returned to the Kingdom of Hicks, they soon attracted the attention of the local authorities. The news was soon reported to King Mikey.
In front of King De III. As a result, King Mechid III issued a notice declaring that these captive representatives who returned home were traitors. It was precisely because they were afraid of death, timid and even surrendered without a fight that the Kingdom of Hicks lost its position.
The colonies in the Nubisia continent have also become the object of ridicule by other countries.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Hicks declared that these returning captives had committed treason and began to arrest them. It also announced that after local authorities captured these returning traitors, they could be hanged on the roadside without trial.
On the big tree, the traitors and their families were sentenced to hard labor and all their property was confiscated.
General Skerry said in the letter that of the 2,000 captives who returned home, only about 200 were lucky enough to escape and return to the Beibu Gulf, and only about a dozen of them brought back their families and relatives. These ten still accounted for
My hometown is not far from the national border, or I am well-informed and have the advantage of being helped by my friends, neighbors, and villagers, so I can avoid the local officials who come to arrest me.
Now the more than two hundred lucky people who escaped are very angry. They demand to return to the overseas autonomous territories to tell their comrades all this, and hope that the overseas autonomous territory authorities can help them form a large army and return to the Kingdom of Hicks to avenge themselves. This is what Skok
The reason why General Li sent the secret letter was that he didn't know whether the news would cause bad turmoil among the more than 500,000 Hicks prisoners overseas, so he added an eagle feather to the letter and asked that it not be spread outside...
..
Claude's first thought was that King Melchid III of the Hicks Kingdom was going crazy again, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood why the Hicks Kingdom did this. It's very simple.
Tens of thousands of captured people belonged to the territorial nobles. Allowing them to return home would be equivalent to allowing the honest territorial nobles in the Kingdom of Hicks to regain their minions and armed forces, which would not be conducive to the arbitrariness of Melchid III when he was in power.
So Melchid III simply used the cruelest treatment to stop the more than 500,000 captured people from wanting to return to their country. He was unwilling to let them come back to increase the strength of the territorial nobles, and once again aroused the suspicion of the Hicks royal family and the territorial nobles.
Power disputes. Compared with the Hicks Kingdom's population base of 30 million, it is not a pity to discard these more than 500,000 young people who do not belong to the Hicks royal family and veterans who have been on the battlefield. Letting them return home is the greatest
of bad news.
Claude tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a long time, and decided to write a letter to General Skree, asking him to let the more than two hundred lucky people who escaped back go back to the overseas autonomous territories. The Kingdom of Hicks has become a security risk, and must be given
A resolute strike, so these Hicks prisoners can be put to use, and at the same time they can also increase the immigrant population of the overseas dominions.
Since the Kingdom has strictly controlled the number of immigrants to the overseas autonomous territories, the population growth of the overseas autonomous territories has become extremely slow, and there are still only more than 7 million residents. The overseas autonomous territories have a large area. According to statistics, the urban land has been opened
The area is only a quarter of the total area of the territory, and there is a very lack of labor and immigrants.
Even if the Rock Legion and the Thunder Legion return to the overseas autonomous territories, and the officers and soldiers bring back the wives and wives they found in the newly occupied areas in the eastern part of the continent as new immigrants, the total population will not exceed 8 million. The reason is that these new occupations
The region has been in constant war for more than ten years, and the young population has suffered a great loss. Most of the remaining women and children are women and children. Many officers and soldiers are looking for wives who are either orphans or widows. They have very few relatives, and some are old people and young children.
If these more than 500,000 Hicks captives can return to the Hicks Kingdom, then at least two to three million relatives of immigrants can be brought back to the overseas autonomous territories. However, this requires the overseas autonomous territories military regions to create conditions for them, such as sending troops to attack Hicks
In the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, these more than 500,000 Hicks prisoners will become the most reliable assisting force and the most loyal leading party in the Dominion Military Region, as long as they still want to reunite with their families...
Therefore, Claude needs the more than 200 captive representatives to return to the overseas autonomous territories and tell the more than 500,000 Hicks captives their experiences and the misfortunes of those captured captives, which will arouse all Hicks.
The anger and revenge of the prisoners. Only in this way will the Dominion Military Region regard these Hicks prisoners as their own, arm them with confidence, command them, and send troops to attack the Hicks Kingdom.
Of course, Claude still has to clean up the mess that has been spread on the west coast first. At the very least, he must complete the first phase of the wildfire plan, annex the Rodex Bay Colony of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands, and annex the Kingdom of Resnia.
The Rusmans in the colony tied themselves to the carriage of national liberation and independent nation-building, helped the Pamigar people in the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik to establish an independent nation, and withstood the attacks of neighboring enemies...
