I Will Be The Crowned King

Code of Free Confederation (Draft):

"We - Grey Pigeon Castle/Long Lake Town/Black Reef Harbor/Red Hand Bay/Winter Torch City - on behalf of all the people of the new world who are free and dignified, we will completely abolish the previous relationship with the evil empire and the Herid royal family. of any contractual connection, justifiably independent, united as a free and independent association, and hereby solemnly declare:

The official name of the Confederacy is the Confederation of Free Republics;

All republic city-states (former colonies) have equal status. If a new city-state joins in the future, they will also enjoy the same rights and status as the five original founder city-states, and undertake matching obligations;

The people of the Confederacy have equal status in all the joined city-states, and have the right to do business freely, to work and reclaim wasteland, to hire and to be employed; to have the right not to be enslaved, not to be oppressed outside of their due obligations, to act at will, and to automatically join or quit any office. A city-state, the right to choose its own place of residence or to build a new colony;

The Confederation established the 'Supreme Liberty Council' as the highest authority, with the power to start wars, alliances and make peace, to levy taxes on the city-states, formulate unified tariffs, laws and recruit soldiers to defend the Confederacy; it has the power to coordinate the relationship between the city-states and do power of final arbitration;

The Confederacy established a "Temporary Security Joint Committee", which temporarily held the power of a free parliament until the next parliament was held, or the war against the Empire was over; the members of the committee were chaired by the self-governing councils of the city-states, who were randomly rotated and re-elected every six months.

The Confederacy established the "Free Legion", and each city-state should provide no less than three infantry regiments and baggage, and temporarily establish an army of about four infantry divisions - which happens to be the size of a standing army in Clovis.

The Confederacy announced the conclusion of the "United Front of the Imperial Rebellion" with Beluga Harbor, and invited Anson Bach, commander-in-chief of the Beluga Harbor garrison, to serve as the Chief of Staff of the "Freedom Corps" to assist and cooperate with the Confederacy in formulating battle plans;

The Confederation declares the Ring of Order as the only legal religion, and any other beliefs are heretical and not protected by any law; the Faithful Confederation is the only legal religious organization in the Confederacy, and has the freedom to organize assemblies, develop membership, and reasonable self-defense within the Confederacy..."

There are dozens of draft codes, which are constantly voted on in constant quarrels and standing lines. Originally only existed in the "Declaration of Resistance" and the verbal "Freedom Confederation", they also began to have substance with the passage of each bill. The significance of this made the colonists who originally just wanted to protest against the tyranny of the empire gradually became conscious of "building a country".

All kinds of information continue to gather on the desks of the parliamentarians, and they have gradually seen their "hard power" when they were originally afraid of the empire:

Excluding the fallen Grey Dove Castle and Sail City, the population of the four major colonies currently controlled by the Confederacy does not include "beast slaves", which is about 700,000 to 900,000 - yes, there is such a big error, this is still a small secretary The result after special calculation.

At the same time, the Confederacy also has an army of nearly 50,000 people, but 99% of them are militiamen who are not full-time and have no more than three months of training, and are scattered in various cities, large and small villages, towns, and farms. Ability.

According to Carl's estimation, if you really want to fight across borders, in addition to supplying storm divisions, each colony can have at most one reinforcement infantry regiment, which is the limit, and there can be two more colonies near the battlefield. Thousands of people up and down.

As for how much combat power these 10,000 people can have, um...

For things that are hopeless or non-existent, the storm division's general choice is not to discuss, and Anson, the commander-in-chief, will not take the initiative to mention it.

In addition, the meeting also designed the flag of the Free Confederation - because the five colonies were originally subordinate to the empire, it is inevitable that some local elements will be mixed: blue and white style, ring of order, symbolic patterns...

In the free cities of the local empire, there are usually keys, sun, moon, stars or scales on the flag; this is mainly because most of the city-state founders are not nobles, many people are not even knights, there is no family crest at all, and the church is more They will not be easily allowed to use religious symbols.

So after a multi-party vote, the flag of the Free Confederation was designed as a blue flag (same as the Empire), with six four-pointed stars surrounded by a circle pattern - at the same time, because the free cities of the Empire mostly use white patterns, in order to prove their independence , the color of the stars is set to gold.

Looking at the star-ringed flag on a blue background that was raised high in the hall amid the thunderous cheers, an unusually strong sense of déjà vu arose in An Sen's heart.

In any case, it is a good thing that the Confederacy can be successfully established; with the so-called "Supreme Freedom Council" as a cover and white gloves, it is much easier for the Storm division and the Rune family to interfere in the affairs of the New World, and they can justifiably win over and Turn against the Empire's forces in the New World against the Empire.

As for the title of "Chief of the General Staff of the Free Legion" that the Confederates bestowed upon him, apart from once again showing that these people wanted to rely on the Storm Division to fight against the Empire, and did not want to appear too much like a vassal, Anson himself did not have much opinion, even quite Satisfaction—it would be inappropriate to be the commander-in-chief, as it would mean that he would also be responsible for the Confederate army.

What's more, whether it is the chief of staff or the commander-in-chief, the armies of both sides have to cooperate and cooperate; as for who will "cooperate" and who will "cooperate" with whom, um...

Anyway, if the Free Confederacy counts on the Storm Division to actively cooperate, then their end will definitely be quite tragic; the fact that the friendly army is difficult to move like a mountain cannot be done in Hantu, but in the new world... Anson has sufficient confidence and confidence to do it. get.

Of course, the whole meeting was not completely smooth sailing: probably to show loyalty to Anson, almost as soon as the official election of the speaker of the parliament and the "Provisional Security Joint Committee" came, the speaker of Winter Torch City couldn't wait to jump out and support the wave in a high-profile manner. Lina Frey was elected.

This undisguised approach immediately caused an uproar at the meeting - not that anyone denied the status of Grey Dove Castle and the Frey sisters, but it is obviously impossible to lead the Confederacy in their current situation.

Heijiaogang was the first to protest, showing that it was the "front line against the enemy" and that a colony in the rear of Winter Torch City had the right to point fingers there.

In the face of this unreasonable accusation, the speaker of Dongju City and the members became angry on the spot, but there was no evidence to say, so they could only scold the representatives of Heijiao Port on the basis of their "home field advantage".

The representative of Red Hand Bay tried to stand up to mediate the conflict, but soon exposed his "ambition" to become the capital of the Confederacy; Speaker Hollande of Long Lake Town immediately stood up and said that this city-state is the only choice for the capital...

As the "center of the storm", Paulina Frey was shivering and curled up in her own position, looking at a figure standing on the sidelines in the distance with her eyes for help; even the entire Grey Pigeon Castle liberals Because of the small number of people, it was completely transparent in the noisy hall, and was directly ignored by others.

As the atmosphere gradually warmed up, the several Speakers who still maintained the last shred of rationality immediately called to stop and temporarily adjourned the meeting - finally, the verbal persuasion did not turn into a physical persuasion.

……………………

"This speaker of Winter Torch City is too impatient, even if he wants to show his loyalty, there is no such thing."

In the lounge on the left side of the hall, Anson, who was hiding in the room and smoking a pipe, complained and handed the cigarette case to an uninvited chief of staff: "Do you think he was bribed to cooperate with the grey pigeon? What about the Fort Liberal show?"

"Me? I don't think so." Taking the cigarette case from Anson's hand, Karl, who was comfortably lying on the chair, lit a cigarette proficiently.

"Just because he was trapped, I would also like to thank you for the clever brain of the Clovis people, it is unlikely that such a thing can be done; on the other hand, in Longhu Town and Red Hand Bay, it seems that there is a plan to profit from the chaos. , I suggest you still be careful."

"There's no need to remind this, and why do you remember losing your bet to me?" An Sen resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "So why did you come here?"

"A reminder to our commander-in-chief, lest he forget the most important things because of a pair of innocent and lovely sisters."

Facing Anson's "questioning", Carl Bain smiled playfully, and the orange cigarette **** curled up with the corner of his mouth.

"most important thing?"

"Uh... Although I personally think you should not forget it, but just in case I will say one more thing: you should remember that at least nominally, you are still a subordinate of the Governor of the Ice Dragon Fjord Colony?"

Looking at the adjutant's cautious expression, Anson thought for a second, and his face suddenly turned ugly: "You mean, Sophia Franz she..."

"It's the honorary governor of Ice Dragon Fjord." Carl quickly added.

Anson Bach: "...She's not coming to Moby Dick, is she?"

"Well, that's not it."

Karl replied immediately, and before Anson could breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately changed the conversation: "But I just received the news that her other new messenger has arrived at Beluga Port and is going to be with you, the commander-in-chief and number one. The executors negotiate about the bank."

"So fast?!"

"Really? I also think it's very fast; but that Miss Sophia seems to have settled the issue of funding. It is said that she has attracted the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and the other party is willing to invest in the development of the resources of the Clovis colony, especially the coal mine." Carl replied .

Northern Chamber of Commerce?

An Sen was stunned for a moment. He only had a very vague impression of the name. The other party seemed to have some relationship with the local railway committee, and he had a background from a wealthy family in the empire.

Does this chamber of commerce really have so much energy that it can make Sophia go to "woo" it, and even show it off as a fruit of victory?

"Who is that messenger?"

"I don't know, it seems to be Reinhard Roland..."

"Reinhard Roland?!"

"Uh!" Carl was taken aback and looked at Anson who suddenly stood up with a serious expression:

"you recognize?"

"do not know!"

Anson said loudly, and the decisive answer almost made Carl fall off the chair, but then he revealed the answer: "But his surname is Roland!"

"The surname is Roland, so what..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Carl's eyes widened a little bit, and his expression became more and more incredible: "You mean...he...he is..."

"A direct descendant of the Holy Grail Knight, a member of the Roland family." Anson nodded slightly, with a solemn expression.

This makes sense... Being able to convince the Roland family to invest in the Clovis colony's industry, even if it's just an attitude, is enough for Sophia to show off.

"But we're still at war with the Empire!"

Carl was extremely incomprehensible: "If I remember correctly, the Roland family is quite loyal to the Herrid royal family. How could they invest in Beluga Harbor at this time?"

"This shows that the Roland family and the Herid royal family have huge differences in terms of colonial interests." After learning the truth, Anson calmed down instead:

"It doesn't matter what the specific reason is, but if we can take this opportunity to tie the Roland family to our chariot, and we want to take back the colony in the future, the empire will have to throw a rat!"

"Do you want to go back to Beluga Port?" Looking at his expression, Carl also became nervous.

"No, since you missed it, don't force it any more, just let the Beluga Harbor Council entertain him - of course, when the meeting is over, Miss Talia can return in the name of the Rune family, that's enough."

Anson shook his head: "The more this is the case, the less we can make investors feel that we are asking for others; to let them see our potential and strength, I believe that the storm division can ensure that their investment is absolutely safe. There will be no accidents because of the war.”

"What do you mean, not only should we not be shy about the imperial army in Sail City because of the Roland family, but instead, we should show the colony chief minister a little color in front of each other?"

Carl immediately guessed Anson's thoughts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked tentatively.

"And the speed must be fast and the momentum must be loud. It is best to organize a decisive battle to make the Roland family realize that the empire is no longer tenable in the colony. Investing in us is the best choice to ensure their interests. ." The corners of Anson's mouth began to rise slowly:

"Since Sophia can persuade the other party to come to Beluga Port in person, it proves that investment is a sure thing, and the next step is nothing more than a question of how much; so the harder we fight the empire, the more the other party invests, and the more Anxious to finalize the bank thing.”

"Understood, the worse the empire loses, the less the opponent has to choose."

Carl nodded slightly. Just when he wanted to continue to ask for details, he suddenly found that Anson's expression was a bit more different, and then he felt that something seemed to light up behind him.

Before he could look back, Anson, who was smoking a pipe, slammed the chair under Carl with one kick, and threw his head and shoulders into the corner of the smoking room without forgetting to look outward call:

"Bombings - Covert!"
