I Will Be The Crowned King

Text Chapter 27 Powers and Responsibilities

"Reclamation?"

Speaker Harold held a glass of wine and asked with a light smile in a leisurely manner: "I'm curious, why do you have such thoughts?"

In fact, he already knew that Anson was planning this. As early as the morning before yesterday, his nephew Bonnie told him exactly how Anson was a guest at the farm. He even knew that Anson had visited a total of six different types of restaurants in the past two days. The farmhouse, and surveyed all the wasteland near Beluga Harbor.

But it was precisely because of the clarity that Harold had to be more curious and surprised, otherwise it would be easily misunderstood by the other party that he was secretly monitoring his every move - although there was no misunderstanding.

"Because there are 6,000 storm divisions." An Sen smiled helplessly.

Two-thirds of the farms in the entire Beluga Port are related to the speaker, and it is impossible for him to not know what he has been doing outside for the past two days; but since the other party intends to play stupid, Ansen doesn't mind cooperating. Acting.

"The entire Beluga Port is only 40,000 people, and the entire Ice Dragon Fjord is only 100,000 people; with such a population, plus the area of ​​​​arable land and the yield per mu, it is almost impossible to bear the military supply of the Storm Division. Therefore, I plan to Open up some new farms and relieve the pressure on the place through self-sufficiency,” explained Anson.

"You are indeed a benevolent officer - the ring of order is on, and it should be the first time in my life that I have heard from a soldier to reduce the burden on the people!"

Speaker Harold praised without hesitation, but then changed the topic: "But you don't need to do this at all, because Beluga Harbour is fully capable of handling all the military supplies of the Storm Division!"

"In fact, before you came, we have already done calculations and considerations in this regard; the conclusion is that the food reserves and the annual increment of the Ice Dragon Fjord are sufficient to stabilize the food price without cutting the supply. Next, supply 10,000 full-time soldiers for eight to ten years!"

"It's my fault as the speaker for not being able to tell you such important information in the first place. If you can, please accept my most sincere apology."

"No, there is absolutely no need for you to apologize."

Without waiting for the other party to bow and salute, Anson immediately stepped forward and held Harold's shoulder: "Because I have made up my mind, no matter what, I will build a wasteland farm near Beluga Harbor."

"why?"

Harold quickly glanced at the palm on his shoulder, and a stern look flashed across the corner of his eyes under the surprised expression.

"Because it's not just about logistics."

Anson took a half step forward and deliberately lowered his voice: "As you always know, in fact, Ice Dragon Fjord... including all Clovis colonies, has always been squeezed and threatened by the empire, and it is the most dangerous to this new world. Important ports they have coveted for a long time."

"Before I set off, I received a very important piece of information. The Empire is transferring troops from Edland, and is preparing to send an additional fully armed army to the colony, plus no less than 8,000 soldiers!"

"Huh?!" Harold looked stunned.

He didn't suspect that Anson was lying. In a sense, he was even willing to believe that what the other party said was true-otherwise, why would the empire spend a lot of manpower and material resources to send an army of thousands of people to the colony.

"But what does this have to do with your establishment of a farm?"

"They are a crucial step in my entire plan." Anson said sternly:

"Beluga is a port, which means that the enemy can attack from both sea and land at the same time; no matter how strong she is, it is impossible to face two enemy forces at the same time."

"I once listened to the admiral of the fleet that came with us, Colonel William Cecil, who mentioned the 'North Harbor Rebellion' incident in the 95th year of the Saint calendar. At that time, the Empire completely blocked the North Harbor in this way, and ordered the The great city was left alone and nearly burned in a riot!"

"So I came to a conclusion that if you want to protect a port, you must avoid being attacked by land and sea, and you must take the initiative to defeat one of the enemies first, so that you can have a stable rear when one side is blocked."

"At sea, we have the invincible Royal Navy; but on land, the army needs stable logistics support if it wants to leave the country for operations; this support is not only various supplies, but also convenient roads, which can be used for rest. and fortresses hoarding supplies, and farms that I am going to let the army build..."

"It's the bridgehead during the attack?!" Harold blurted out.

"You're absolutely right!" An Sen praised with a pretentiousness:

"These farms that will be connected by roads can not only provide some logistical support for the army, but will also become an absolute barrier for Beluga Harbor when the war breaks out; even if the war is lost, as long as the barrier has not been broken, then Beluga Harbor will still have nowhere to go. Yu."

"I see."

Speaker Harold opened his mouth wide, with a surprised expression in his eyes: "With all due respect... Colonel Anson Bach, as an officer, you really have a carefulness and prudence that is completely inconsistent with your age - I guess this is Is that why the king sent you to the colony?"

No, they just want to find someone to clean up this mess, or to take the blame for them when the situation is irreversible... Anson smiled:

"You're overrated, and it was only after seeing the colonial farms that I thought they could be more useful—your dear nephew Bonnie has inspired me a lot in this regard."

That's right, just like these "fortress farms" connected by roads can not only serve as a bridgehead and a barrier for the entire colony, but also strengthen Anson's control over the entire colony by means of stronghold radiation - this is Anson's true purpose.

Speaker Harold's influence stems from his relationship with Beluga Harbor, and even all the stronghold farms in the entire Ice Dragon Fjord; as long as he maintains control over these farms, he can actually weaken the resources he can use in his hands. bargaining chips.

"It was his honor."

The humble Harold smiled, and then suddenly his eyes lit up: "That's right! I have thought of a good method that can greatly save your time and money on this matter!"

"Oh?" Anson pretended to be curious.

"You don't need to build a new farm at all, you just need to use the existing farm!" Harold laughed:

Insert a sentence, [\\mi\\mi\\reading\\app\\\\] is really good, it is worth installing it, even Android and Apple mobile phones support it!

"The Beluga Harbor... No, all the farms in the Ice Dragon Fjord will be transformed into small fortresses with strong fortifications that can accommodate troops; all the villagers in the farms will also be included in the list of the garrison, and organized to carry out A certain degree of military training, and then selecting suitable candidates from the villagers and appointing them as local military commanders.”

"We can have hundreds of fortresses and thousands of troops across the Ice Dragon Fjord for a very small price - so that even if the Imperials dared to invade the colony, they would not be able to eat them all. !"

Well, in the next step, these farms with weapons and "castles" will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, and will become feudal "lords" at an alarming rate, and the entire colony will become a "kingdom" composed of countless small lords.

In order not to be annexed by the garrison, they need to find a suitable spokesperson in Beluga Port to form a huge alliance that can compete with the garrison and even the mainland.

Of course, this spokesperson must be firm enough in terms of stance, and at the same time know how to compromise, and be good at maintaining a balance between the two forces... Finally, he must be very reliable.

Speaker Harold has always considered himself a very reliable person.

"You don't need to worry about the garrison commander in this matter... You only need to provide some weapons and give them the status of the garrison. The rest of the complex work can be handed over to the Beluga Harbor Council." Speaker Harold was very enthusiastic:

"Including your plan to build a factory, since they are already your subordinates, it is your duty to serve the garrison commander. It is easy to fully mobilize the manpower of the entire colony."

"I can even assure you that the garrison doesn't need to spend half a penny on this matter; under my own operation, this policy of 'holding soldiers in the people' can even provide you with an extra income!"

"So...what do you think?"

After all, Harold, who was holding the wine glass, looked at Anson with great sincerity, and his right hand kept the gesture of clinking glasses to celebrate.

But Anson didn't answer.

Obviously, this should be Harold's wishful thinking.

If they agreed, the Beluga Harbor Council would have an army of tens of thousands of militiamen and hundreds of fortresses; it was certainly impossible for this force to confront the garrison head-on, but it was an important negotiation chips.

If they can protect themselves, what do they need the garrison to do?

But if Anson refuses, Harold can use this as an excuse to unite Beluga Harbor and even the entire Ice Dragon Fjord more closely around him to deal with the "full malice" from the garrison commander.

No matter how he answered, his purpose was achieved - to unite the entire colony, forcing Anson to cooperate with him and the Beluga Harbor Council behind him, rather than cooperate with other forces alone.

unless……

"Absolutely not!"

Just as Harold said nothing, quietly and even smugly waiting for Anson's reply, a powerful voice suddenly exploded in the hall.

Whether it was a congressman in formal attire or a navy and army officer in military uniform, all the guests present looked sideways, and the eyes of the entire hall instantly converged in the same direction.

I saw Bishop Ripper, who was also wearing a black trench coat and a bowler hat, suddenly roared in the crowd, leaning on a slender cane and glaring at Speaker Harold.

"Dah, dah, dah, dah..."

Suddenly, in the silent council hall, the bishop's hurried footsteps and the sound of the tip of his walking stick smashing the floor tiles echoed, and he walked impatiently towards the three people who were talking.

"Colonel Anson Bach, Miss Talia, and Speaker Harold...I don't know what you were discussing just now, but in any case, the power to form an army and build a fort must not be handed over to the farms around the colony!"

Under everyone's attention, the indignant bishop stepped forward without even salutes the three of them, and said excitedly: "I agree to form a militia army belonging to the colony, and I agree that the protection of each farm should be strengthened. work, but it must not be the responsibility of the farm itself, absolutely!"

"Oh, why is that?"

Without waiting for Harold, whose expression changed, Anson took the lead to block him, and asked in a "confused" reply, "I think this is a very good plan!"

"That's because you only saw the merits of this matter, but didn't realize the price you were asking for!" Bishop Ripper said solemnly:

"The colonists already own their own land. Once they are allowed to have their own army, the most direct consequence is to divide the entire colony!"

"Split?!"

Anson was "shocked" and deliberately asked loudly, "How is this possible?!"

"Of course it's possible!" The bishop was heartbroken:

"Let all the farms have their own army, which seems to give them the power to protect themselves, but it also tells them that they must protect themselves; this is bound to create a rift between the various farms; The army used to protect themselves is also very likely to be used by malicious people and become a tool for annexation and annexation of each other!"

"Approach..." Anson's voice was trembling:

"Bishop Ripper~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You just made a very serious accusation. Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course!" The bishop raised his head and pointed his index finger to the vault of the hall with his raised right hand:

"The evidence...is the entire world of order!"

"Six of the seven knights swear allegiance to the dragon knights to protect the safety of the Herid family forever. Have their descendants always done it?"

"The vassals of the knights got the land and the power to recruit knights from the lord, and promised to be loyal to their lord forever. Haven't they broken their oath?!"

"Wealth, force, land...worldly powers can never be completely trusted. To maintain peace and unity, these powers must be divided, and all powers must be concentrated, not divided!"

"What's more, the protection of the colony is the mission of the garrison... Colonel Anson Bach, this is your mission! How can you pass such an important responsibility to those who need your protection and let them protect themselves?!"

"This is a very serious dereliction of duty, and it is a manifestation of your failure to shoulder your responsibilities and obligations; you...you should be ashamed of your own thoughts!" Bishop Ripper glared at Anson, and said righteously:

"I ask you, now! Immediately! Apologize to everyone... apologies!"

The hall was dead silent.

After a long time, the silent Anson slowly raised his head and looked at Ripper who was glaring at him with a solemn expression:

"Sir Bishop, you..."

"...that's right."

Harold's face sank instantly.
