MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 499 Conversation on the train

The 490th chapter of the conversation on the train

"...All the teachers you have seen are changes that have been developed in the past few years by overseas self-governors. Compared with the local kingdom, this is a land full of vitality. We only need guidance and fair distribution of labor. The income, the hard-working people are naturally working hard to make their lives happier and more beautiful..."

Claude personally went to the port of Caubicus to welcome the Countess Marie, because Mrs. Maria was sick during the half-month sea journey and needed to rest a few more days in the port of Caubicus, so Claude Arrived at the hotel where he stayed, to achieve the friendship between teachers and students.

After another three days of rest, Mrs. Maria was accompanied by Claude in a carriage to the town of Ancano, into the train station, and on the special carriage that Claude arranged for her. The scenery of this road surprised Mrs. Maria, and she felt that the prosperity here was comparable to the towns around Wangdu. Especially the train, let her unheard of, so very curious to ask Crowder, Claude certainly wants to be modest.

This time, Mrs. Maria was a special envoy of Frederick I who came to the overseas self-governing body. Her son, Hertinger, was wearing a uniform of the captain of the Guards Corps. Put the revolver. Just before entering the carriage, his revolver was confiscated by the big man, and the big son didn't even have the courage to defend. He happily removed the holster and handed it to the big man.

This scene was seen by Mrs. Maria, she did not say anything, just a deep sigh. Compared with Crowder, who is almost the same age, she only thinks that her eldest son is too disappointing. If you can put more thoughts on your children in the past, your son may still have a good time. If you don't say anything, if he and Claude's sister Anna are successful in marriage, then now you don't have to work hard to rush yourself...

During the two days and three nights of travel to Lanhu City, Mrs. Claude and Mrs. Maria’s talk about the relationship between the kingdom and the overseas self-governing leaders frankly exchanged views on each other, and also discussed why the kingdom fell to such a point. Claude pointed out very straightforwardly to Mrs. Maria, that it is an inevitable path for overseas direct jurisdiction to go to self-government. Even without the colonial war initiated by the Hicks Kingdom, the overseas direct jurisdiction will eventually become a self-governing leader.

Claude believes that autonomy is not independent, and there is absolutely no need for His Majesty to worry about it. After the end of the war in the eastern region, the kingdom urgently needed blood transfusion to restore the economy, and the new occupation land was in ruins. The kingdom could only turn the crushing target to overseas direct jurisdiction. At that time, the people directly under the jurisdiction of the overseas government had long been unbearable by the kingdom’s economic restrictions on overseas direct jurisdiction and the scissor-like ocean trade policy. They were concentrating on a strong sense of resistance. The mining and business associations and many powerful families in the region were the most hopeful territorial jurisdictions. The crowd that fell out of the kingdom.

Without the colonial war initiated by the Hicks Kingdom, it may not be long before the overseas direct control itself will provoke riots, so the loss may be even greater for the kingdom. This colonial war gave the Rangers a stable position in overseas jurisdictions, and because of the inability of the Kingdom to support the wars of overseas direct jurisdictions, the Rangers Group was transformed into a local legion under overseas direct control, with direct jurisdiction. The local forces are more closely integrated. The establishment of the war zone is more like unraveling a reins tied to the neck of an overseas jurisdiction.

In order to win the victory of this colonial war, the war zone can only vigorously develop the economy directly under the jurisdiction of the overseas government without the support of the kingdom. In the battle, it is logistics. In order to tap the potential of war and to supplement the expansion of the military resources, the territory directly under the jurisdiction can only reach the kingdom. The kingdom was in dispute with the two kings at that time, and the political situation was unstable. It also gave the directly-administered war zone the opportunity to immigrate from the kingdom. More than two million families and relatives of the two legions of the two regiments were transferred to overseas direct jurisdictions, so that the directly-administered war zones compensated for the shortcomings that lacked the strength to supplement.

Everything that the overseas self-governing leader is now is developed by the immigrants of the kingdom. They helped the territory of the direct jurisdiction to defeat the Hicks Kingdom and win the colonial war. At that time, Sterling XI made a mess in the kingdom of the kingdom. After the black smoke, he couldn’t wait to take the overseas direct jurisdiction into a piece of fat. He sent a special envoy to bring the knife directly to cut the meat, which eventually aroused the resentment and anger of the entire overseas direct government. Under the impetus of those businessmen and local prestigious people, the direct jurisdiction has become a self-governing leader.

Claude does not deny the role played by the territorial war zone in the process of autonomy, but it is also forced by the kingdom. Sterling XI’s injustice and harshness of the five generals who fought **** battles and the two regiments angered all the officers and men who made great contributions to the country’s pioneering territory. This is also the name of the directly-administered war zone, which was renamed the autonomous leading region. The reason is that all the legionaries have regarded themselves as members of the self-governing body, and this has become their new home.

It can be said that the autonomy of overseas direct jurisdiction is the unanimous desire of immigrants living in all the kingdoms living here. No one wants the self-governing body to return to the situation before the colonial war. At that time, it was a wild land. The governor and the admiral sent by the kingdom were all exiles here. They only looked at the money, and the industry was dying. Now, here is a hot spot full of hope, and it is a happy new home for all the people of overseas self-government.

Claude pointed out to Mrs. Maria, that the biggest difference between the kingdom native, or Frederick I and the overseas self-governing leader lies in the difference in cognition. He regards overseas self-government as a rebellion. Autonomy is not independent, and the people of overseas self-government are not the rebellious kingdom. They also remember that they were immigrants from the Kingdom of Ovilas. They also had the feelings of their home country and were willing to give the help of the kingdom's local power. Unless the requirements of the kingdom are too far off the mark, just like the kingdom envoy who was deported last time, his request is simply whimsical, which is to cut off the foundation of the economic development of the overseas dominion...

Of course, Mrs. Maria May will not agree with Claude. She believes that if the national self-governing leader really agrees that he is still a native of the people of Ovila, he should give up his former suspicion and do his best to help the kingdom defend against foreign enemies. Instead of taking the opportunity to coerce the kingdom, propose autonomous conditions that are similar to rebellion.

Crowder can only smile, this is the difference in the position of the butt. He can only tell Mrs. Maria, that the overseas self-governing leaders have fulfilled their obligations and duties to the kingdom. Do not say anything, worth 1 million gold krona for food and agricultural materials, 200,000 Obash three-type arquebus, 1,000 old-fashioned front-mounted light infantry field artillery, and 20,000 medium and heavy Throwing a bomb and its one thousand throwing devices. The total value of nearly three million gold kronor, all free of charge, has exceeded all the support of the kingdom of the colonial war to the territorial jurisdiction.

Some words Claude felt that he could explain privately to Mrs. Maria, and his analysis of an item was given to Mrs. Maria. For example, before the overseas direct administration was developed, the kingdom obtained only 300,000 gold krona taxes and 100,000 gold krona tribute from the entire overseas direct jurisdiction. This is the total of the treasury and the Sterling King indoor library. income. In addition, ocean-going commercial trade between the two continents can bring indirect taxes to the kingdom.

The truth of the facts is cruel. The kingdom regards the entire overseas direct jurisdiction as a source of resources for plundering wealth. Most of the proceeds are obtained by the old aristocratic families of the kingdom, and the profits of the remaining ocean-going commercial trade are also kingdom. The emerging commercial aristocracy is monopolized, and the interests that the kingdom can obtain are only small heads, but the big heads have already been divided and cleaned up, and the name is taken over by the kingdom.

To give a very simple example, 70% of the mineral resources that were previously produced under overseas direct jurisdiction were purchased by the kingdom at a very low price and shipped back to the kingdom and distributed to five military industries. Don't forget that these five military industries are in the hands of old-fashioned aristocratic families. They get these mineral resources almost free of charge, but the weapons and armaments they produce are paid by the kingdom. Most of the proceeds come to these old nobles. The hands of the family. Once in and out, the income of these veteran aristocratic families is more than one million krona per year...

Those emerging business aristocrats are also very savvy. They can't share a piece of mineral resources directly under the jurisdiction of overseas jurisdictions, but they can monopolize commercial trade between the two continents. They sold the goods and goods produced by the kingdom to the overseas direct jurisdiction, and acquired the special products under the direct control of the municipality at a low price, and obtained the benefits as much as mineral resources.

The old-fashioned aristocratic family forces are eager for these commercial interests, so they use the commercial exclusive rights and pricing power of local counties to limit the monopoly power of the emerging commercial aristocracy's ocean-going commercial trade, thus triggering a rights struggle between the two.

Claude has always believed that the commercial free trade that the so-called emerging commercial aristocracy advocates is actually just trying to break the commercial exclusive rights and pricing power of the old aristocratic family forces in various local counties of the kingdom. What they actually pursue is also the monopoly income of ocean-going commercial trade. This can be concluded from their use of the pricing power of goods in ocean-going commercial trade. It is not a good thing. The kingdom has fallen to the present level and has a great relationship with the rights struggles caused by these two aristocratic factions.

If the great prince of Hansback succeeds in succession, then the interests of the old aristocratic family will be damaged, and the kingdom of Ovilas is still the eastern hegemon of the Faurea continent. Only the emerging commercial aristocratic forces pushed Prince Wedrek to fight for the throne for their own benefit. Under the circumstance of the veteran aristocratic family, Hansback’s great prince took the lead and opened the prelude to the civil war in the kingdom. The wounds of the kingdom are the most devastating...

The fault of the great Prince Hansback is that he is over-conceited, and he still does not distinguish who the main enemy is when he attacks the kingdom. I believe that we can use the power we have in our hands to clean up the situation of the entire kingdom, and still do not change the original intention of weakening the power of the old aristocratic family. Therefore, after the surprise attack on the Ibnista Plains, the Daxie removed the power of the old aristocratic family and the emerging commercial aristocracy. Eventually, the old aristocratic family forces were forced to stand on the side of Prince Weidelik, laying the foundation for his failure in the kingdom.

The result of the participation of the old aristocratic family forces was that both sides were defeated. The kingdom of the kingdom was ruined. After the defeat of the great prince Hansback, the hatred of the Hansback was returned to the new occupied land. As a result, the assassination ended on the stage of the history of the kingdom. However, the winning old-fashioned aristocratic family is also uncomfortable, because the damage to the civil war in this kingdom is their interests. After the prince of Weidelik, who became a fisherman, became Sterling XI, he was re-used by the people of the new commercial aristocracy, and he pushed the old aristocratic family of his superiors to the side.

Soon these old aristocratic family members regretted that Sterling XI was not a Mingjun and was evolving to the tyrant. The newly-emerging commercial aristocrats he reused were more like mad dogs. In order to make up for the economic losses they suffered in the civil war in the kingdom, they used the name of Stirling XI to give them the name of the liquidation and accountability ambassador, and arrested them in various local counties of the kingdom. The so-called big princes’ confederates and supporters have made the kingdom’s homeland unpopular, and the people are everywhere.

So these veteran aristocratic family forces decided to bring order out of chaos, and launched a mutiny to promote Frederick I to become the new king of the Kingdom of Ovilas. Although the overseas self-governing leading region came to the kingdom to rob the machinery and transport the displaced people for a period of one year, but the old aristocratic family forces used the father of Sterling XI to drag them into the water. The Red Dragon Legion of the Duke of the Marshal Siegfeld, tempted the power of the Thunder Legion of the Autonomous Leadership Region and reached an unmatchable conclusion.

After Frederick I ascended the throne, the overseas self-governing leaders sent a mission to congratulate and prepare to improve the relationship with the kingdom. Will they still be treated in the kingdom? The reason is very simple. Nowadays, the old aristocratic family forces who master the power of the kingdom still regard the overseas self-governing leaders as rebellious. They hope that the overseas self-governing leaders can return to the time when they want to take their desires. The broken financial road is like a murderous parent. For the family forces, they can't give up a lot of huge wealth that didn't belong to them...

Claude asked Mrs. Maria, is the request made by the overseas self-governing leader too much? The kingdom of the kingdom and the overseas self-governing leader are separated from each other by a quiet ocean. It takes half a month for the voyage of the boat to go all the way. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to maintain administrative measures, personnel promotion, fiscal and taxation, economic and financial, and military power. The status is to effectively and better promote the development of the entire overseas self-governing community. Rather than getting approval and permission from the kingdom, some measures that can help overseas self-governing leaders are delayed indefinitely.

Therefore, the last kingdom envoy who was deported, the proposed kingdom has the right to approve and verify the overseas dominion policy. It is simply a martyrdom. This is nothing more than the old-fashioned aristocratic family forces who master the power of the kingdom are playing with word games. If the overseas self-governing leader agrees, then there is no difference between autonomy and direct administration.

There is also the right to trade goods produced by overseas self-governing territories to allow access to the kingdom to trade. There is no difference between right and wrong. As long as the commercial exclusive rights and pricing power of the local kingdoms and counties of the kingdom are in the hands of the old aristocratic family and commercial aristocrats, then the goods sold by the overseas self-governing leaders will be sold to the kingdom and sold and sold. The special envoy of the kingdom also proposed to cooperate with the merchants of the kingdom and the powerful local families. This is nothing more than letting the overseas autonomous leaders give them a workshop.

Perhaps they think that the two conditions of our overseas self-governing leaders should be grateful to Dade, so the lions opened their mouths and asked our overseas self-governing leaders to provide free agricultural products worth 3 million kronor to the kingdoms this year and next year, 5 million yuan. The mineral resources urgently needed in the Kingdom of Kinkran, as well as the annual tax and tribute of 1.5 million kronor to the kingdom.

Claude said that he sometimes did not understand that they were the immigrants of the seven-million-dollar kingdom of overseas self-government. Life and death control the slaves in their hands?

It is precisely because the immigrants of the seven-million-dollar kingdom of overseas self-government are also the people of the kingdom of Ovilas, so the overseas self-governing leaders are willing to pay the kingdom an annual tax of 400,000 kronor and tribute to the kingdom, acknowledging that the kingdom of Ovilas is an overseas dominion. The sovereign state has a consistent attitude with the kingdom in diplomacy and military affairs. The enemy of the kingdom is the enemy of the overseas self-governing body, which does not harm any interests of the kingdom and the royal family of Stirling.

However, the overseas self-governing leaders are not willing to continue to provide free mineral resources to the old-fashioned aristocratic family and ask them to open a reasonable price. Is this excessive? The miners of overseas self-governing territories are not slaves. They also have to raise their own lakes. Their labor and dedication should be paid reasonably. Then the old-fashioned aristocratic family forces of the kingdom should occupy the mineral resources of the overseas self-governing bodies in vain, let alone they are working for the kingdom and producing armaments for the kingdom. Do they need different weapons and equipment to pay for the kingdom?

By the way, they also want the autonomous leading areas to provide them with 200,000 new rifles, equipped with bullets, and production drawings, which are meant to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Then, if the autonomous leading region does not provide them, will they plant the responsibility of the losing streak of the Kingdom Lien Chan in the head of the autonomous leading region?

Really speaking, they understand what it means to have 200,000 new rifles? It was a huge sum of nearly five million gold kronor. It was the self-governing region’s shabu-shabu selling iron. The land was seized from all the colonial wars and the new rifle equipment of the two regiments was collected to improve the combat strength of the two legions of the self-governing subordinates. Also owed the bank a loan of two million gold krona...

They are good, they want to take them all, why? Perhaps in their eyes, the two legions of the overseas self-governing military region are not the army of the Ovila Kingdom, so they will crowd out the self-governing military region, and do not put the autonomous leading region in the eyes, hehe...

Which new rifle is really so expensive? Mrs. Maria was a little shocked. Claude’s reason for the fall of the kingdom to the present, as a bystander’s analysis, was a huge shock to her original position. She suddenly felt that Claude’s words were very reasonable, and the kingdom was indeed owed to overseas self-governors. a lot of.

"Actually, in fact, I came here this time, asking you to send troops to save the kingdom in distress..." said Mrs. Maria.
