Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 416 is incorporated into the jurisdiction of the theater

Claude soon saw General Bologna, but General Bollonic’s temperament was not so good, no matter who had a shot in the right rib, it would be very difficult. Moreover, the governors and admirals of the three municipalities did not provide General Bolognic with the best therapeutic agents and medical environment, and even more than half a month later, the wounds of General Bologna had not recovered.

There was nothing to say about the process of capturing the port of Caubicus. When the Thunder and the 13th Regiment entered the outer city of Caubicus, the enemy did not notice it. Only the guards of the city gate under the inner city hurriedly closed the door. Immediately after the three governors and the adjudicators rushed to the wall with their own guards, they found that they had become caged birds.

The governors and admirals of the three directly-administered tribes also wanted to threaten Claude with the safety of General Bologna and demand that he withdraw from the army. However, Claude called the old man of the messenger and wrote a letter on the spot to bring him to the city to the Governor and the Admiral. After the old man of the messenger was hanged from the wall, the Governor and the Admiral were all stupid when they saw the letter written by Claude.

Claude wrote a few words in the letter, meaning that before he sent troops and General Skerri said, General Bologna had any accidents, so it was very simple. All the Governors and the Admirals went to the Kingdom of God of War to report. Claude swears that once General Bologna has an accident, Crowder will order that these governors and admirals, as well as their families and relatives, be hung on the trees along the road, saying that... .

Until then, the governors and admirals on the wall found that the reality was completely different from what they had imagined. Even the imprisoned General Bologna became a hot potato. This is the so-called horrible, sorrowful and fearful, and the safety of General Bologna became the basis for Crowder to threaten them.

Just as the governors and admirals on the wall were still controversial, Claude had ordered the Thunder 3-1 camp to throw throws at the wall. As a result, a bomb exploded and few people stood still on the wall. Immediately after the gate was blown up, the soldiers of the Thunder Army rushed into the city, and the governors and admirals of the three directly-administered leaders were all captured.

Crowder’s side was very smooth, but it was a bit of a twist on Murray’s attack on the harbour pier. As a military port, a small fortress was built in the dock area, and a squad of naval stormtroopers was dispatched by the storm fleet to prevent the pirates from attacking the military port. The naval stormtroopers of this battalion were not under the jurisdiction of the governor and the admiral, but the governor of the squadron of Tilsim persuaded the battalion commander of the naval stormtroopers to swear allegiance to the great prince Hansback.

So Murray led the troops to the squadron when they entered the dock area, but the gun on the dock's fortress was not against the sea. The Thunder 312 immediately launched an attack. After three rounds of throwing the toss, the defender of the fortress raised the white flag and surrendered.

Tilsim’s ruling party fell into the hands of Claude, and General Bologna could not stop Claude’s misconduct. Because Claude said that this was crusade against the rebellion, and then began to carry out a major cleansing of the three directly-administered leaders. Anyway, the three directly-administered military and political officials and local families signed on the affidavit of the loyalty of Hansback’s prince Within Crowder’s arrest, waiting for them is ten years of hard work.

Different from the direct jurisdiction under the jurisdiction of the theater, the local forces under the three direct jurisdictions are intertwined. Like the Governor and the Admiral, they can only effectively manage the governing capital and several large towns. Other towns and cities are made up of powerful people. And local forces control. This incident, when Claude heard the two generals of Eblonte and Beechklin, now that the three direct jurisdictions are under the jurisdiction of the theater, Crowder is simply arrogant, and this rebellion is borrowed. The incident will wipe out the local forces of the three directly under the jurisdiction, so that the orders of the future theaters can be thoroughly implemented.

General Scrim and General Beechling were only rushed to Tilsim’s territory after twenty days, when General Bologna’s injury had recovered and he could get up from the hospital bed. General Albert was not here, he still needed to be in the port of Vibator. No way, the territory of the eight overseas directly-administered territories is too big. Starting from the rule of Atulas, even if the horse rides to the port of Vibatato, the normal itinerary will take one month.

General Bologna, General Claude, General Scree and General Beechklin held a discussion meeting on the future of eight overseas direct jurisdictions in Tilsim, and decided to Tilsim, The three direct jurisdictions of Tulas and Mormaly are under the jurisdiction of the theater. At the same time, he decided to cancel the disarmament order, maintain the quota of 130,000 troops of the Thunder Legion and the Meteorite Corps, and set up 18 local garrisons with a total of 5,600 people in eight overseas direct jurisdictions. Reserves for troops and theaters.

General Bologna decided to expand Lanhu Town, upgrade to the city, and take Lanhu City as the location of the theater command. The plan to relocate to Wickham Castle was invalidated. This is because after the theater was merged into the three direct jurisdictions of Tilsim, Mormali and Atulas, Lanhu City was in the heart of eight overseas direct jurisdictions. Just on both sides can take care of both.

Claude proposed to establish a garrison fleet of overseas direct management. The personnel were the more than a thousand naval officers who did not want to loyal to Hansback's prince. Although the warships they drove back were mostly light ocean-going cruise ships and transporting seagoing ships, they also found six light fast-track cruise ships, plus two medium-sized warships and one large warship, and four parked in the port of Vibator. The light cruise ship captured from the Hicks Kingdom is enough to form a cruise **** fleet that maintains the safety of overseas direct control offshore to protect the safety of the offshore transportation between the direct jurisdictions.

However, General Bologna and General Scree appeared to be hesitant, because the formation of a cruise fleet can give more security to overseas ties, but it also means that the theater will bear an additional military expenditure. And a naval fleet costs more than the army's military spending. Don't look at a fleet of more than a dozen light fast-track cruise ships. Their expenses are already comparable to a second-line army.

Crowder laughed and immediately showed the Thunder Army’s harvest for the three months of the three direct inspections, worth $1,300,000, which was the Governor and Admiral of the three directly-administered leaders. , contributed more than 400,000 Jin Kelang. Claude believes that the formation of a cruise fleet will cost around 300,000 gold krona a year. Nowadays, under the jurisdiction of the three jurisdictions, it is possible to eliminate the rule of law and reduce the variety of exploits. The taxation of the three directly-administered leaders will naturally increase substantially. It is not a big deal for the military expenditure of a cruise fleet. ....

As General Skerri, who is in charge of logistics in the theater, although he was satisfied with Claude's three majors collecting so much money to fill the theater's military deficit, he did not agree with Crowder's thoughts. He told Crowder very straightforwardly that the fiscal and taxation conditions of the three direct administrations for the next few years will not increase, but will decline. The reason is very simple. The taxation of these three directly-administered jurisdictions is based on ocean-going trade. The cross-ocean trade with the kingdoms every year makes the commercialization of these three municipalities directly prosperous and the taxation can be guaranteed.

Now the kingdom's local and overseas jurisdictions have ruled out trade, which is the main reason why the three governing governors and admirals have vowed to loyal to the Hansback prince. Their purpose is to restore the transoceanic trade with the kingdom and to seek from it. Rich income. Now that Claude has won the six governors and admirals in the name of crusade against rebellion, there is no need to hope to conduct ocean trade with the kingdom.

Without cross-ocean trade, the businesses of the three directly-administered countries of Tilsim, Mormaly, and Atulas will be severely hit and affected. In the future, they will only be able to turn to commercial trade within the overseas direct jurisdiction. After the war zone, it is very likely that the three direct jurisdictions will not receive as much tax as military expenditure. For this reason, General Scree does not advocate the formation of a cruise fleet.

Another problem is that the war zone will set up 18 local garrisons and cut down the original local garrison. The officers of the 18 local garrisons are all composed of the Thunder Army and the older soldiers of the Rock Corps. Each local garrison is full of 5,600 people, and the 18 local garrisons need a total of about 100,000 troops. This means that in addition to leaving 30,000 grassroots officers and elite veterans, the Thunder and the Rock Corps also need to recruit 100,000 young people of the appropriate age to enlist.

This is indeed the meaning of General Claude and General Bologna. The main purpose is to alleviate the pressure on the life of the officers and men of Cromwell and Beringer. As long as 100,000 new recruits are recruited, the immediate family members of the 100,000 new recruits can get 30 acres of farmland or 300 acres of pasture. It is estimated that there are 670,000 unemployed soldiers and relatives who can no longer let the theaters bear their lives. And work, which will reduce the financial pressure on the theater to invest in public facilities and infrastructure.

The second reason is that Claude believes that most of the officers and men of the two legions are too old, which is not conducive to the construction of the legion and the enhancement of combat effectiveness. Like the Thunder Legion, the average age of officers and men is around 31 years old. Although it still maintains a strong fighting force, Claude feels a bit suffocating, and there are some rules on the development and application of tactics.

Therefore, Claude decided to simply overthrow the rebuilding, and when the older officers and men turned to the local garrison to maintain their combat effectiveness, they began to form a young army. In this way, the veterans of the local garrison retired after a few years of retiring, and they were just picked up by two re-growth corps. Otherwise, after a few years, the veterans retired from the two corps and recruited new recruits, and they could not have the same powerful combat power. It is very unfavorable to maintain the security of the overseas territorial theater.

General Scree wants to remind Crowder that this is the point. The recruitment of 100,000 new recruits to retrain and re-arm, and the formation of 18 local garrisons require large military expenditures. Don't look at the Thunder Legion's nearly 1.3 million gold krona in the three direct-collecting and smuggling squadrons. It is a huge amount of wealth, but it can only be spent on military spending for two or three years.

General Bologna felt a little embarrassed. General Claude and General Scree made sense. After the trans-ocean trade was cut off from the kingdom, the business of overseas direct jurisdiction could only turn to the mode of self-production. However, the eight overseas direct jurisdictions have a large area and the cost of land transportation is very high, so the development of offshore transportation has become the first choice. However, although offshore transportation is close to the coastline, it does not mean that it will not be attacked by pirates. It is indeed necessary to have a cruise fleet composed of light and fast cruise ships to bring security to offshore transportation.

General Sterling’s worries are also very reasonable. The military spending in the theater has indeed become a huge financial burden. After the disarmament order was abolished, 100,000 new recruits were recruited, 18 local garrisons were formed, and the three major seaports were completed. The defense, as well as the construction of the infrastructure of the strategically important areas of the theater, means that the theater will have to invest a large amount of money, and the financial situation in the theater is very tense.

After thinking about it, General Bologna decided to set up a cruise fleet consisting of six light fast-track cruise ships. The remaining warships were sealed first, and then the theaters were well funded and expanded. This will keep the navy's military spending at around 150,000 gold kronor per year, and the theater can still squeeze out this military expenditure.

After discussing the cruise fleet, General Bologna and Claude and others discussed the arrangements for the three newly-administered administrative officials in the jurisdiction of the theater. It must be said that Claude’s cleaning was too Cleaned up, the local administrative officials of the three directly under the jurisdiction were arrested and imprisoned in the name of rebellion. At present, the three directly-administered leaders are in the state of military management. Otherwise, the administrative affairs of the localities have already collapsed.

General Scree suggested that the appropriate officers should be selected from the grassroots officers who are preparing to retire from the two legions to serve as the competent officials of the three local administrative departments. At the same time, the three directly-administered leaders will openly recruit administrative officials and conduct assessments before appointing them. This proposal was unanimously endorsed by General Bologna, General Claude and General Beechklin.

General Bolognik decided to go back to Lanhu Town with General Beechklin for two days, and set up the township command headquarters to form six local garrison groups to be deployed in these three direct jurisdictions to strengthen local control. General Claude and General Scrim temporarily took the seat of Tilsim, reorganizing the order and local law and order. When the six local garrisons arrived, Claude could bring the Thunder Legion's troops back to the theater headquarters.

Two days later, General Bologna and General Beechling left the Guard, while Claude and General Scree remained in the port of Caubicus and continued to be busy. The three directly-administered tribes were included in the jurisdiction of the theater, and the affairs were numerous, and nothing else. Just checking the homes of the three directly-administered leaders and arranging both Claude and General Scree to eat evenly. Fill your stomach.

Without him, the port of Bicchus, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Tilsim, was built as a seaport with the kingdom, and a vast warehouse area was built. The three special resources and commodities that were directly transported to Bailucheng were concentrated in this warehouse. region. Now that the trans-ocean trade has been cut off from Bailucheng, the goods and resources of the warehouse area must be dealt with as soon as possible. After all, many farmer goods are not long-term storage.

"Mineral resources can be stored here, and it is useless to transport these things back to the theater. There are no large-scale alchemy foundry workshops in overseas jurisdictions, and these mineral resources cannot be used." General Scree said with regret.

The so-called alchemy foundry workshop is a large-scale steel alloy manufacturing factory in Claude. The kingdom is strictly forbidden to set up such a large-scale industry in overseas jurisdictions. It is better to transport these ore resources back to the kingdom, refining and casting, and then returning them. Even if a large cost is added, it may be a means to limit the economic development of overseas direct jurisdiction.

"These tobaccos are all specialties under the jurisdiction of Arturas. It is said to be there in the wild, but it is a high-priced luxury in the kingdom." General Steri felt pity: "There is no kingdom to do distribution." In fact, tobacco can not be sold under overseas jurisdiction, and may be sold to the kingdom by smuggling. The wild beef jerky and dried squid accumulated here need to be transported back to the theater to distribute troops to the army, because the shelf life of this thing will be Three months to six months or so, those cowhide are the same, if you don’t handle it, it will be very easy to rot..."
