Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

In the end, Yan Kingdom did not officially take over Nuremberg, nor did it maintain military control.

This is certainly not because the official Germans arrived and took over the city from them again.

In fact, until the Yan Kingdom took the initiative to lift the military control, the personnel sent by the German government to take over the city were still unable to arrive due to "traffic problems".

Chen Xin asked them to send inquiries and urgings to them several times, but all he got was the answer "Traffic jam, please hand over the city to citizen self-government and maintain the transfer of materials".

Such an answer undoubtedly annoyed Chen Xin very much, and he even thought of simply ignoring it and letting the city die.

In the end, though, he didn't take things so far.

After all, once the Yan Kingdom's army and joint security forces withdraw, the situation in Nuremberg will deteriorate visibly, and it will become unknown whether the supplies to support the frontline can be transferred smoothly.

As for the possible consequences of this, no one knows.

The city cannot be left alone, but there are various problems in taking over by himself. After Chen Xin was almost scratched by the embarrassment of the hatchback, he still thought of a solution to the problem.

He chose to really follow the answer given by Germany and let the people of Nuremberg take over the city by themselves.

However, unlike the German government’s expectation that the people would self-control and the city still belonged to the German government, Chen Xin called together the representatives of the people in Nuremberg and Fürth, and informed them that the Yan Kingdom’s army would lift military control and join forces with security maintenance forces. After the news that they would also be evacuated, a brand-new proposal was put forward for these seemingly panicked and frightened people, that is, Nuremberg and Fürth declare the city autonomy.

It should be noted that the urban autonomy here is completely different from the citizen autonomy that the German government hopes.

Although they are all autonomous, the former means to turn a city or region into an independent administrative division. Although they still belong to Germany in name, they will not obey the official orders of Germany, nor will they obey the jurisdiction of German officials.

Citizen self-government is nothing more than handing over the management of the city to the people themselves, allowing them to maintain the operation of the city by themselves, and the city is still under the control of the German government.

For unknown reasons, the German officials who have not sent official staff to Nuremberg so far, whether or not Nuremberg declares autonomy has little effect on the current situation in Germany.

In other words, in the view of German officials, if the actual control of the city cannot be taken back, then there is actually little difference between letting them be controlled by citizen self-government or separatist forces.

At worst, it is nothing more than a city declaring independence. For the German official who did not have control over the city, this is really painless.

After all, it's beyond reach anyway, so what's the big difference in whose hands the city is in? It just sounds nicer in name.

It is even possible that for the German authorities, it is better to let them govern the places that are temporarily incapable of management, so as to save some resources. After all, to control the city, some investment is still required.

But for the citizens of Nuremberg, the difference between the two is huge.

Citizen autonomy, all they can do is to maintain the continued operation of the city, especially the operation of the most critical material transfer, to continuously deliver supplies to the front line of defense, and continue to pay taxes to the German government.

That is, although they enjoy the right to self-government, they are still subject to the jurisdiction of the official management agency and pay taxes.

As for self-government, it is basically equivalent to independence. Although it still belongs to a country in name, other than that, it is equivalent to an independent country.

For the people of Nuremberg, the only thing that may need to be discussed is that they need to continue to maintain the transfer of materials to the front line.

Faced with the fact that the government did not act, and Chen Xin and others from the Yan Kingdom were unable to intervene, the people of Nuremberg finally chose independence and self-government.

They have been heartbroken by the inaction of German officials and have lost trust, so since they are all autonomous, why not be more straightforward?

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that Nuremberg chose independence and self-government after breaking away from military control.

It can be said that from the previous semi-separatist state of the garrison, after going around in circles, it has actually established Nuremberg's true separatist regime.

Faced with such a result, Chen Xin didn't care much, it was nothing more than a waste of work.

However, after the self-government committee established by the people of Nuremberg agreed to Chen Xin's request and would continue to transfer materials to the front line of defense, the situation was still somewhat different.

At least the self-governing committee will not drift away the transferred materials, at most it will only obtain part of the materials from them to maintain the operation of the city, which will reduce a lot of consumption invisibly, so that more materials can be sent to the front line to fight against aliens for human beings. Make more contributions to the invasion of star creatures.

In fact, as far as Chen Xin was concerned, if the officers of the garrison hadn't been frightened by the two land ships and suddenly surrendered to him, he really wouldn't have taken care of Nuremberg's affairs.

Now after such a toss around, even though it seemed like he had done nothing, the existence of those garrisons who surrendered proved to Chen Xin that he had done something during his trip.

These surrendered garrisons were handed over to the Autonomous Committee by Chen Xin, and they were allowed to deal with them.

After some discussion by the Autonomous Committee, they chose to expel this official German force.

After all, people in the whole city didn't like this army that was still dominating the city before.

Although the existence of this garrison made the law and order in Nuremberg fairly stable, and some armed forces in the surrounding areas would not dare to make trouble, objectively speaking, it protected the people of Nuremberg, but this did not prevent them from expulsing this force.

As for what to do with the security and defense of Nuremberg after the expulsion of this force, the Autonomous Council plans to form a militia by itself and rely on these militias to defend its city.

Out of help to these people, and also to monitor whether the Autonomous Committee will try its best to maintain the material transfer work, Chen Xin notified the European Aid Fleet and asked the fleet to send a working group here.

The main task of the working group is to supervise and inspect the transfer of materials in Nuremberg, and at the same time assist the people of the Autonomous Committee and help them train the militia.

As for the weapons and equipment used by the militia, the Autonomous Committee also planned to purchase from the Yan State, so after going around in circles, the control of Nuremberg was still in the hands of the Yan State.
