The negotiations were in trouble at the beginning. After several days of waiting and news and intelligence coming in, Lorraine Hill finally knew what was going on at the Verga Alliance headquarters.
Just a week ago, a similar incident to Hopelaner occurred in Yubere. The four jointly received the support of new weapons from Rurna and the assistance of mage mercenaries. They suddenly launched an attack and defeated two tough resistance factions.
, causing the other three families that originally remained neutral to surrender.
After the incident, there were only seven large chambers of commerce left in Yubeile's original nine. After taking control of the alliance headquarters, he sent troops one after another, airships invaded the border, and the large chambers of commerce in other cities also surrendered one after another.
In this way, most of the Verga Alliance, which was originally affiliated with Snow Flower Alliance, broke away and became a member of Frost Rose.
Compared with the loosely autonomous Snow Flower Alliance, Frost Rose has consolidated its power, with most of its power vested in central agencies.
The current headquarters of the organization is in the country of Lurna. The mages of the country of Lurna also recently had a coup. However, since the initiators of the coup were the leading factions, there was not much resistance. They just broke up some small factions and absorbed them.
At present, the whole country of Rurna and the eastern part of the Verga Alliance have joined Frost Rose. As a powerful government, Frost Rose plans to divide Rurna into 3 regions and Verga into 2 districts in the future. They will no longer be divided into 3 regions.
National divisions, mutual exchange of internal resources, joint promotion, unification of laws, education, standards, etc., internal tariff reduction, each branch is directly responsible to the headquarters, the military is unified under the management of the headquarters, only the security team is retained in the local area, and taxes are paid after being collected by the region
Provide unified management to the headquarters.
It sounds a bit like a new era country, but it has not yet reached that point. After all, it is a top-down change, which is not thorough enough. A lot of the original power has been preserved, which will inevitably become an obstacle in the future.
After reading the information, Lorraine Hill began to compare and think about it. The final conclusion was that he was not optimistic about Frost Rose. He always felt a bit insecure and wanted to change something, but he couldn't give up everything he had and started over.
.
Be strict with others and be lenient with yourself. That's probably it. The slogan is very good. It integrates the dispersed forces of the seven Snow Flower Kingdoms and fights against the greenness with all its strength. However, after carefully tasting the head and composition of the organization, Lorraine Hill is a little uncomfortable.
, not even as good as the original Xuehua United.
At least back then, Roland really treated each other as equal brothers and took the lead. Xifeng also contributed the most in the 'Battle of the Short Bow'. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who miss this hero. His deeds are spread all over the world and are countless young people.
The dream in my heart.
But at present, with the fall of the West Wind and various countries falling into various internal problems, the slogan of Frost Rose does have greater appeal and can easily impress some anxious people.
People are like this, longing to cuddle together for warmth, and to have an elder who can guarantee their safety. Even if the elder is extremely harsh, stern or cruel, as long as he can protect himself, that's good.
Frost Rose undoubtedly wants to capture Hopeland. After all, this is an important node for the organization's westward expansion. If it can take advantage of the civil strife in West Wind to unify West Wind, then the organization that occupies the vast land in its heart can radiate its influence to the entire western side of the continent.
, just like Xuehua United back then.
Lorraine Hill sat at the table and slowly fell into thinking. At this time, the people in the study were pushed away and Chelsea walked in.
"Miss, Ceres was brought here by me."
"Well, let her come in." The girl shook her slightly groggy head and did not think about the negotiations during the day. She wanted to know about the situation in the Southern Islands.
"Hello, Miss."
Seres walked into the room, wearing a black uniform.
"Are you still used to living in the south?" Lorraine Hill looked at the housekeeper who had been separated for some time.
"It's not bad. The climate there is warm, and my cold legs seldom attack."
"Well, that's good. Are Ige and Mrs. Barya okay?"
"It's all very good. I recently found a teacher for Ige. When he gets older, I can let him study at the Mage Academy. Becoming a mage is a very good choice." Seres had a rare smile on his face.
.
"That's good, can you tell me about the situation of the Southern Hinayue Council?"
"Okay, Southern Islands..."
Then Seres began to talk about the current situation of the Southern Islands. The country is managed by a parliament, and the parliamentarians are the leaders of the mage faction, as well as a small number of big nobles. The speaker is changed every five years, and the mages and nobles take turns to serve. But in the country
The main force is still the mages.
Fortunately, the nobles of the Chuberry Kingdom are all islands, and they don't have much desire for expansion. Therefore, the two factions each get what they need and have always been getting along very harmoniously. In recent years, they have relied on the Eastern Sea Route to develop more smoothly, and they have money.
, everyone became more harmonious.
Since there is a verdant empire on the east side of the continent, the most convenient way for the Seven Snow Flower Kingdoms to avoid the control of verdant territory and go to the east is to first go to the Southern Islands, and then follow the trade winds and ocean currents to reach the eastern seaports. There are many places on the other side of the sea.
Specialty products not found in the Western Continent are extremely profitable.
Due to the hundreds of years of stability and widespread education in the Chuberry Kingdom, the overall strength is very strong, far beyond what the gradually corrupting West Wind can match.
After talking about it, Lorraine Hill had a deeper understanding of the Southern Islands.
In the next three days, Ubere and Lurna sent people over again, and the previously stagnant issues between the two parties were further pushed forward.
Frost Rose will not give up the westward path under any circumstances, but Kalites and Youngberry have always insisted on the independence of Hopeland and the surrounding areas.
The final result of the negotiation between the two parties was that the alliance was divided into two. The original seven families in the East and the eight surrounding families formed a large area of Frost Rose, becoming one of the four major regions of Frost Rose.
Several companies in the west with Hopelaner as the core united with the remaining four companies to form the New Verga Alliance, with its headquarters in Hopelaner.
Both sides of the original alliance withdrew from the Snow Flower Alliance, the eastern side merged with Frost Rose, and the western side began to contact and move closer to the Youngberry Kingdom and Crancia.
As a compromise and exchange, the Misty Pine River on the northwest side of the original alliance was specially allocated to Frost Rose. This river belongs exclusively to Frost Rose. It can pass at will to the five northern countries, and the New Verga Alliance cannot interfere.
However, there will be garrisons from the New Verga Alliance on both sides of the river to monitor and prevent large-scale surprise attacks.
In the end, the two parties, the New Verga Alliance and the Frost Roses, signed a non-aggression pact.
Regarding this result, the two parties have temporarily reached a settlement, but both Lorraine Hill and the representatives of Frost Rose know in their hearts that this is only a temporary compromise.
Frost Rose hopes to enter the Kingdom of West Wind, expand its power, and unite the forces of other domestic organizations before turning back to suppress the New Verga Alliance. Lorran Hill is also waiting for Crancia to unify West Wind and face Hopelaner from the north to the south.
Support each other.
The battle between roses and stars will also open a new chapter in history.
