Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter VIII Chapter Expulsion of the Kingdom Special Envoy and Mrs. Maria May

The special envoy of the kingdom brought new conditions this time, and it can be said that it has largely met the requirements of overseas self-governing leaders. Wang Du promised that overseas self-governors can maintain a certain independent status in administrative measures, personnel promotion, fiscal and taxation, economic and financial, and military power. However, they must apply to Wangdu for approval before the implementation of relevant policies of overseas self-governing leaders. Verification, only the approved policy can be officially promulgated and implemented in the Dominion.

Regarding the ocean trade between the two continents that the self-governing members are concerned about, Wang has only promised that the goods of the two places can be freely traded, allowing the goods produced by the overseas self-governing leaders to be sold in the kingdom, but refuse to change overseas. The high amount of goods and goods produced by the Dominion is included in the tariff.

According to the special envoy of the kingdom, it is because the kingdom is currently facing war, economic difficulties, lack of funds, and can only find ways to search for property to support this war against aggression. The high taxes and fees paid by the goods produced by overseas self-governing territories at the time of entry are a large proportion of the income of the kingdom's finances, so they cannot be cancelled. Maybe after the war, let's discuss slowly...

In addition to allowing the goods of this overseas self-governing body to be freely traded in the kingdom, the terms of the other articles on ocean trade are not promised, but the conditions are not allowed, and it is not appropriate to discuss this situation and other reasons. Rejection. For this purpose, the Special Envoy of the Kingdom proposes that the goods produced by the overseas self-governing leaders can cooperate with the powerful families and businesses of the Kingdom, and entrust the sales to these families and businesses.

This is actually to let the overseas self-government become the producer. After the products are manufactured, they will be shipped to the kingdom and transferred to the dealers of the old aristocratic families or commercial aristocrats for market sales. As long as the strong family in the local kingdom holds the pricing power and the exclusive right, then everyone knows who is the most expensive party.

Members of the overseas self-governing and manufacturing-related parliament have also split into two factions, and there is no debate about it. One school thinks that some earns on the line, and who does not care, mainly opens up the local market of the kingdom, and then changes the status quo after waiting for the heel to stand still. The other faction is not willing to deny that the goods produced by the workshops have fallen into the processing products of the old aristocratic family and commercial aristocrats in the kingdom. The profits are taken away by these nobles, so they are required to open the goods access passes of the local counties in the kingdom. Allow commercial free competition.

The so-called commodity access pass refers to the customs clearance fee and the tax payment license for local sale and purchase. It is aimed at the sale and purchase of bulk commodities and plays a role in protecting the local commercial economy.

To give a simple example, for example, a large number of white linens from overseas self-governors have been shipped to the Kingdom, and after paying a high tariff, they are going to be sold to Wangdu, and they need to pass through ten local counties and customs fees for each local county. It is one percent of the total value of goods, which adds up to 10% more cost, and then subtracts transportation costs. Then there is about 20% of the proceeds after being shipped to Wangdu.

As a result, during the transportation process, it was found that a local county was in urgent need of white linen, and if it was sold here, it could earn 20% more profit. However, it is a pity that the destination is Wangdu on the entry tax receipt of this shipment. The owner of the white linen does not have the right to sell it locally. He can only transport the goods to Wangdu. If you insist on selling it locally, then the local administrative department can impose punishment on him, and impose a fine of two to three times according to the total value of the goods. Finally, the businessman is doing a loss-making transaction, which is not worth the loss...

Therefore, the members of this group of overseas self-governing leaders are asking the kingdom to open this commodity access permit. With this proof, the goods produced by the dominion can be sold anytime and anywhere, and local products can be purchased locally. It is not necessary to go to the king to bargain with the families and businesses that monopolize the local county business, and let them give them a layer of hair. However, Wang is reluctant to open this commodity access permit, which is to worry about the damage to the interests of the families and businesses that control the local county business.

Another problem is the pricing power. The right to determine the purchase price and sale price of a certain commodity is in the hands of the old aristocratic family and commercial aristocrats. They use the controlled business and the commercial monopoly of the local counties to monopolize the right. The pricing of these commodity goods, and correspondingly constitute a pricing alliance to combat those illegal business and commercial opponents.

As long as the pricing power cannot be released, then the price of the goods sold by the overseas self-governing territories when they arrive at the kingdom is the price of these acquired businesses, which greatly damages the interests of the self-governing businessmen. This is also the biggest reason for the prosperity of ocean smuggling trade, because the goods sold by ocean smuggling vessels are sold to those who have money and power. After they get the goods, they are usually handed over to small traders and sold in small quantities. Can not meet the requirements of the self-governing large-volume bulk commodity transactions.

Perhaps it feels that the kingdom has made a lot of steps, so the special envoy of the kingdom is also a big lion to the overseas self-governing leader, asking the overseas self-governing leaders to provide free agricultural products worth 3 million kronor, and 5 million kronor, to the kingdom in this year and next year. The mineral resources that the kingdom needs urgently, as well as the annual tax and tribute of 1.5 million kronor to the kingdom. This may be the last time that several kings have seen the economic prosperity of overseas self-governing leaders, so this time the amount of taxes and tribute paid by overseas self-governors to Wangdu has been greatly increased.

This is only a requirement on the one hand. The Royal Envoy also requested the autonomous leading region to provide 200,000 new rifles and corresponding bullets to the Royal Army Department, and asked the self-governing military region to provide free production drawings of new rifles and bullets to help the kingdom in this Victory in the war against the National Alliance of the Eastern Region.

This time the king was really a lion's mouth, and even General Bologna was amused by the demands of the kingdom envoy. Why do overseas self-restraints answer such conditions? The concessions made by the so-called Wang Du are empty. In nominal terms, the overseas self-governing leaders maintain a certain independent status in administrative measures, personnel promotion, fiscal and taxation, economic and financial, and military power. And what is the right to verify?

I don't want to think that the kingdom of the kingdom and the overseas self-governing leaders are so far apart. The things that have to be done here are still approved by the king. If the king does not agree to talk to each other again, it will pass by two or three years. What can be done by overseas self-governing leaders? What is the significance of such independence? Besides, those ocean trade terms have promised a trade that allows goods to enter the kingdom. In fact, it is not the overseas self-governing leader who transports the goods to the kingdom and hand over to the families and businesses behind them. The pricing power and sales rights are not in the hands. Have a fart?

Let’s say that the overseas self-governing leaders will provide free food and agricultural materials worth 3 million kronor, 5 million kronor mineral resources, and 1.5 million kronor taxes and tribute per year. Slaughter? I really don't understand the power of the kings. Are they all in the water? Are they coming to grasp the unreasonable demands of the overseas self-governing consortium?

There are also production drawings for the self-governing military region to provide 200,000 new rifles and corresponding bullets for the kingdom, and unconditionally offer new rifles and bullets. Where did the king’s face come so that the autonomous leading region can meet their requirements? Do they know how much the cost of the 200,000 new rifles in the self-governing military region? Up to now, the loans of nearly two million Jinkelang from overseas Minsheng Bank have not been repaid, but it is interest...

Do not say anything else, a throwing bomb has already given the autonomous leading region a profound lesson. At that time, Claude sold the manufacturing drawings and production licenses of the tossing bombs to the five kingdom military manufacturing workshops controlled by the old aristocratic families of the kingdom. The result was a battle with the Hansback Grand Prince’s troops. The production drawings of the tossing bombs began to fly, and almost all countries in the Faurea continent began to manufacture and produce the toss.

When the Hicks Kingdom sent to the slaves of Nubiana to continue the corps of the colonial war with a toss to attack the defensive line set up in the territorial war zone, according to General Beechling, he was in a state of compulsion, dreaming. I don’t think that the throwing bills invented in my own theater will be improved by the enemy more than the ones in the theater. The throwing is farther and the explosive power is greater. The casualties in the Hicks Kingdom’s throwing battlefields are not rare. Kind of lifting a rock and licking the feeling of your own feet...

This may be the last regret of the five generals in the theater. If you do not sell the production drawings of this throwing bomb to the military industry controlled by the five old aristocratic families of the kingdom, maybe the last colonial war will not pay such a big casualty price. It ended early. The Thunder Legion led by Claude will not hurt more than half when attacking the enemy's defensive camp on the northern mountainous border.

Nowadays, the new rifle is the leader of the autonomous leading region. It is the leader of the armed forces of all countries in this era. It is freely handed over to the Royal Army Department and unconditionally provides the production drawings of new rifles and bullets. It is really beautiful. Without Claude's opposition, the remaining four generals in the military region are resolutely unable to agree to such a request. They don't want to lead the troops to the enemy who are armed with new rifles...

Even General Bolonick and others already know that the most important thing about the new rifle is the bullet, and the key to the bullet is the propellant at the bottom of the shell. It is easy to misfiring without firing the bullet. But no one can guarantee that the rune magicians of the old aristocratic family will create another similar propellant to act as a bullet.

At the same time, Claude also sold the production design drawings of the revolver to the military manufacturing workshops controlled by the old aristocratic family. They used the revolver as an expensive weapon gift to produce revolvers and revolver shotguns. Fine gift weapons. The bullet fire at these weapons is a tiny fire wafer, a pyrite produced from the bottom of the volcano, which has always been used as a magic material for fire. The rune magician cuts into a small fire wafer in the alchemy magic array and becomes the bullet's bottom fire.

The fine-bottomed fire that Hilla used to get the exquisite revolver from the Hansback Prince was the fire chip. Fortunately, this pyrosite is expensive, and it is very troublesome to process into a fire wafer, so it is impossible to assemble bullets on a large scale. However, the bottom of the fire equipped with bullets, but the corresponding increase in the weight of these weapons and gifts.

The overseas self-governing parliament and the self-governing leading region refused all the requirements of the kingdom’s special envoy, and the ambassador of the kingdom’s special envoys and the five generals of the military region, the wolf and the dog’s lungs, forgot the cultivation of the kingdom, and faced the critical juncture of life and death in the kingdom. It is also a shame to coerce the kingdom to promise the overseas self-government to think about the harsh conditions of independence. I forgot the obligation and duty of being an Auverasian to the kingdom...

In the end, the special envoy of the kingdom was ordered by General Bolognik to cross the parliament hall. Seeing that this trip has not returned in a daunting manner, the special envoy of the kingdom gave a speech at the central square of Lanhu City. On the one hand, it tells the critical situation facing the kingdom. On the one hand, it denounces the self-governing members and the five generals without the concept of a homeland. Once again suffered from the war and the destruction of the country.

For a time, it also attracted a lot of sympathy from the audience who did not know the truth. Voluntary donations were used to save the country. In the afternoon, they also raised nearly 100 gold krona, but most of them were low-value banknotes. The kingdom envoy took these papers. Going to overseas Minsheng Bank for redemption.

Just as the special envoy of the kingdom was prepared to continue to smear the five generals of the members of the self-governing region in the overseas self-governing squad, all the newspapers of the overseas self-governing leaders published the conditions and requirements of the special envoy of the kingdom for the overseas self-governing leaders. The people of the entire overseas self-governing body are boiling. The requirements of the special envoy of the kingdom cannot be promised by anyone. This is not to draw the blood of the overseas self-governing leader, but to cut the meat directly on the body of the self-governing leader...

If you have promised the requirements of the special envoy of the kingdom, then there must be two. The kingdom will come up with various unreasonable demands on the overseas self-governing leaders. These requirements will eventually spread to all the people. Regarding the interests of myself and my own family, no one is willing to offer the benefits of one's own family for one year, and everyone must support the family to continue to live.

At present, the overseas self-governing leaders are flourishing in the development prospects. The people feel that life is getting better and better. No one wants this good life and hope to be suspended and interrupted...

So when the special envoy of the kingdom went to the square again to give a speech, it was no longer the cheer of the audience, but the rotten egg and the roar of the audience. Immediately afterwards, several patrolmen arrived and announced that the special envoy of the kingdom was an unwelcome person of the overseas self-government. He and his entourage will be taken to the port of Caubicus and deported within the shortest period of time.

However, while expelling the kingdom’s special envoy from the country, the Overseas Dominion Council announced that it would provide the kingdom’s homeland with food and agricultural materials worth one million kronor for free, in order to support the Kingdom’s just war against the invasion of the Eastern Alliance. To the overseas self-governing leaders from the Ovilas Kingdom immigration to the kingdom's obligations and duties...

The autonomous leading region also announced that it will provide 200,000 Obash three-type arquebuses to the Royal Army Department, and a thousand old-fashioned front-mounted light infantry field artillery to resist the enemy's reorganization. Anyway, these things are replaced, and it is not suitable to put them in the warehouse and sell them to other countries. It is the active equipment of the local army of the kingdom. It is better to send it back to the kingdom.

In addition to this replaced arquebus and infantry artillery, the Dominion District also announced the donation of 20,000 medium and heavy-duty tossiles and one thousand throwing devices to the Royal Army. This is also a chicken rib. Now there is a new type of light infantry field artillery. The longest range is 1,500 meters. Therefore, medium and heavy-duty throwing bombs have not been used. It is better to send them to the kingdom to let them reach the National League of the Eastern Region. The invasion forces of a country go up...

The special envoy of the kingdom was ousted and deported back to the kingdom. The food and military supplies donated by the overseas self-governing leaders to the kingdom were also received by the people sent by Wang Du, but the official letter submitted by the overseas self-governing leader to Wang Du has never been won. All the answers. I don't know if it is unfavorable for the frontline. Wang is already preparing for the large-scale evacuation...

Two months later, the overseas self-governing leaders got news from the West Coast colonies. The defensive front deployed by the kingdom in the four frontier counties was broken. The two divisions of the Red Dragon Army and the Guards Corps were almost exhausted. At present, the eight legions of the National League of the Eastern Region are on the Ibnist Plain, and they are about to hit the capital of Wangdu.

On August 17th, 1985, the king was sunk.

Before Frederick I left the king, he gave a speech and vowed that as long as there was a musket in his hand, the kingdom would resist the end and never negotiate with the invaders for surrender...

On August 25th, the five kings of the Eastern Alliance of the Eastern Regions drove to the capital, and held a grand military parade in the most famous city in the eastern part of the Farah continent. Five legion soldiers from five countries were arrogant. Walk through the famous Sterling Wangjia Street. Originally the seat of the triumphant military parade in the Kingdom of Ovilas, it was now trampled under the irons and boots of the invaders.

King Hicks III of the Hicks Kingdom and the other four kings appeared in the military parade. He once again rehearsed and re-emphasized that the main reason for the constant war in the eastern part of the Farah continent was because of the ambition of the Ovilas Kingdom. Vibrant, I hope to unify the eastern part of the mainland, and for this reason repeatedly provoke war with neighboring countries.

This time the League of Nations of the Eastern Region has profoundly taught the kingdom of Ovilas, occupying the kingdom, and the current King Frederick I became the dog of the family. Makid III hopes that the army of the National Alliance of the Eastern Region will continue to unite and eliminate the remnants of the Kingdom of Ovilas, thoroughly bury the birthplace of this war, destroy the kingdom of Ovilas, and obtain the eastern part of the Faurea continent. Permanent peace and tranquility...

This speech, Mikid III, clearly put forward the suggestion of the demise of the kingdom of Ovilas. At this time, fifteen of the twenty-seven local counties of the Kingdom of Ovilas have fallen into the hands of the coalition army, even the kingdom. The most elite zone, the Ibnistor Plain and the kingdom of the kingdom, have also been occupied by the invaders. Frederick I moved to White Lucheng and announced that he would resist here...

On November 8th, Mrs. Maria was the special envoy of Frederick I and came to the overseas self-governing leader...
