For the next whole day, Lawrence and the others stayed at the general headquarters on the island to deal with various situations. Although the war was over, it did not mean that there would be fewer things to deal with. Even the war with
Compared to that time, there were more things to deal with.
Of course, things at this time are not as urgent as during wartime. After all, after defeating the enemy, there will not be much risk in the next actions. The next tasks are just pursuits and liquidations that are low-risk and simple to deal with.
However, there will naturally be some extremely complicated things to deal with during this process.
"The church members have already set off with a part of the navy. They will go to the nearby Pine Island to arrest and clean up those guys who previously conducted smuggling trade with the sahuagin and sold contraband. If there are no accidents, we will arrive at noon today
That island and start the next interrogation work." A young officer said to Lawrence.
"And according to the previous telegram, the people from the tribunal have successfully killed the semi-zombified island whale in the early hours of this morning and completely solved the problem of this monster. So except for a few people who deal with the follow-up incident, they have
The people down there will meet up with the people setting off from us off the coast of Squirrel Island, and then we'll move together..."
After Lawrence and Nora captured the pirate ship on their way back to the sahuagin camp for reconnaissance, they found a series of evidence from it that pointed to the Viscount of Pine Island doing such a sinful thing and submitted the evidence to them.
It was given to church members on the island to use the evidence as a basis for their investigation.
Obviously, with the ability of the church and the tribunal, once they obtain some correct clues, they can quickly mobilize their own resources to follow the clues and check everything.
Therefore, as soon as the war ended, each church that had investigated the matter organized an elite force and immediately went straight to Pine Island to prepare for the cleaning mission.
The Isle of Pines is a territory belonging to the Algarve Empire. Before that, it was a colony of the Kingdom of Castile in the New World together with the Algarve Empire itself.
As the earliest Kingdom of Castile to colonize the New World, many countries in the southern part of the New World were now its colonies.
However, as the Kingdom of Castile fell into civil war, attacks by wild creatures on the empire's mainland, and wrong colonial policies, these former colonial countries naturally chose to become independent. The largest of them later became the southern governorate.
The most powerful country on the continent is the Algarve Empire.
But compared with the three powerful Hokuriku powers in the New World who can compete with the old empires on the mainland, this so-called empire is obviously lacking in gold content and is like a ball of loose sand. Each state, county and free city all has its own independent or semi-independent set of administrations.
, economy and even defense system. At the same time, there are various disputes between them, even to the extent that civil wars often break out.
For example, Lawrence and his Sauer have recently accepted a lot of refugees and immigrants from this country. This is because there are now a series of small-scale conflicts within the empire. Judging from past situations, such conflicts are often the result of a new wave of conflicts.
A precursor to the outbreak of a large-scale civil war.
In such a country, the first Viscount Pine Tree was naturally not a kind guy to achieve such a status. At least according to the information Lawrence saw, he was just a big smuggler in the past, and he also took care of some pirates.
Business. Obtained this title ten years ago by bribing some imperial officials and the emperor.
The reason why the Algarve Empire did this was mainly because the strength of their central government was completely beyond the reach of these marginal territories, and they had nothing but some nominal connections. Therefore, the royal family felt that it was better to take advantage of the fact that the name was worth some money.
Convert it into cash.
After getting the title, this guy first whitewashed the evil subordinates who followed him, and then used his own power to kill those who fought with each other for control of the island on this island of more than 1,700 square kilometers.
The farmers and businessmen finally succeeded in establishing their own reign of terror on the island.
Of course, even if he obtained the title of a noble, it would be impossible for the former big smuggler to perform the duties that a fiefdom noble should perform. According to the information obtained by Lawrence, this guy not only found that he could exploit the islanders, but also continued to
Those dirty but extremely profitable smuggling and piracy activities.
In just ten years, Pine Island, which was originally just an ordinary agricultural island in the Sea of Stars, quickly turned into a smuggling and pirate den harboring evil and evil.
It's just that because there is official national asylum here, the political involvement is very troublesome, and the viscount is more cautious in this regard, making it difficult for people to grasp the handle, so the major forces cannot completely solve this problem. What everyone can do
That is to say, we need to strengthen patrols nearby and strengthen spot checks on all ships passing through this island.
"Have the results of the handling of Pine Island been discussed this time?" Lawrence asked the officer beside him. "Do you have any opinions or suggestions on how to deal with this completely degenerated evil den, such as changing it?"
Does the lord have any other arrangements?"
"Well, we haven't reached any unified opinion yet." The officer gently shook his head and said. "Because all parties have their own interests and needs, but what is certain is that the island will be completely destroyed.
A cleansing operation will also deprive the Algarve Empire of its right to rule this island."
After entering modern times, territorial changes between civilized countries have become much less frequent. Unless an action is launched to recover the originally recognized wilderness areas, a series of prerequisites must be met to gain or lose territory.
It's not a very simple thing.
The reason why such a socially recognized habit can be achieved is also very simple. On the one hand, it is because there are large swaths of wild lands and even star planes in the world that can be developed. It is not necessary for a country to expand and develop.
Invasion of neighboring countries.
On the other hand, the barbaric forces are still very powerful and even pose a fatal threat to the entire civilized world. Therefore, civilized races will try their best to avoid unnecessary internal friction and let the barbarian forces take advantage.
Of course, in this context, liaison with those barbarian forces is an extremely serious crime in itself. When the barbarian forces are at war with humans, selling military supplies to the warring barbarian forces is a serious felony. Therefore, at this time, in addition to
In addition to pursuing those who committed crimes, it is natural to deprive them of their territory.
However, after completing this series of things, the territory will definitely not be abandoned. Therefore, the next ownership of this territory will be more clear-cut.
In particular, this island covers an area of more than 1,700 square kilometers, has sufficient fresh water and infrastructure, and is located in a relatively prosperous place in the Star Sea. It is a very attractive territory from any angle.
In this case, all parties must hope to get involved. It is estimated that the forces that participated in the war have already begun to discuss this issue.
Fortunately, both the New Continent Republic and the White Eagle Federation are among the top forces in the New World, and the Holy Visby Empire behind Lawrence is also one of the top countries in the Old World. Therefore, it is basically impossible for those who have nothing to do with this incident to use their claws.
Reach in.
But even if there is only a three-party negotiation this time, considering that the negotiation will determine the future ownership of this rich island, we know that there will be a lot of troubles in it, and each party will definitely do its best to fight for its own interests.
Therefore, it is estimated that it may take at least a month to get the final allocation results.
