I Will Be The Crowned King

The exciting speech came to an end with thunderous applause, and the time for the departure of the representatives from various colonies was also put on the agenda at the same time.

Members who can be sent out by various colonial councils as messengers and talkers, their status and voice in the parliament will definitely not be low; since the empire has begun to fight the rebellion, of course, they, as important members of their respective cities, must also catch up as soon as possible. Go back and discuss the next countermeasures - plus dividing the front.

The "liberals" and "loyalists" who could tolerate each other in the past are destined to be the same after the "Grey Pigeon Castle Massacre"; the form has reached this stage, and there is no room for compromise between the two sides, not you Death is my death.

At the end of the meeting, before everyone left, Anson announced three more things:

First, the Storm Division is about to start, and the first stop is the "close ally" Red Hand Bay, to assist the city council there to eradicate the internal loyalist forces, and hand over their industries to "truly reliable" people to take care of.

There was no objection on this point, except for some suggestions from representatives of Winter Torch City, hoping that Red Hand Bay and Beluga Harbor could "maintain some restraint" in dealing with this issue, "don't blame the terrible crimes committed by the Empire. Again," and the rest of the colonies agreed - including Red Hand itself.

But compared with Red Hand Bay, Winter Torch City has this euphemistic idea not because of the idea of ​​​​riding the wall, but they really don't care: this bridgehead for the imperial colonists to open up the new world inland, facing the The situation was very different from other colonies.

For them, the biggest threat comes from the desolate and pristine natural world, and the biggest debate is whether to cultivate deeply in the land already occupied or continue to explore more fertile new territories.

As for whether to maintain independence or continue to be loyal to the empire, it's really not their concern. The voices on both sides have little influence there.

If all the colonies decide to form alliances, the "purging loyalists" are the "rewards" that everyone uses to hand over to other allies, and it becomes a very troublesome thing for Winter Torch City-because they haven't seriously considered it at all In such an extreme situation, everyone can be considered a liberal or a loyalist.

If the Clovis army goes to extremes in Red Hand Bay and demands that all colonies do the same, it will definitely be a big blow to the originally united Winter Torch City, and it will even cause division.

In this regard, Anson said that the Clovis people who advocate justice and freedom will never join forces with the empire, and will treat those who hold different ideas more justly.

In fact, he actually understands Winter Torch City's concerns very well. He didn't want to participate, and he was coerced by other colonies to join the rebellion.

Immediately afterwards, the matter of the "Common Front" was brought up again. This time, the representatives present no longer had any dissent - or dared not have any dissent any more - and expressed that they would actively participate in the parliament after returning to their respective colonies. To promote this matter, we must first reach a customs union and a defense alliance as soon as possible to ensure that materials and troops will not be hindered in any way when they move around.

It must be admitted that although it is a colony, the imperial people are not the same as the Hantu people; this kind of quarrel in the Seven Cities Alliance, and even the need to explain things, is simply a matter of these wealthy and well-educated colonial councillors. As natural as breathing.

As long as someone is willing to "unite", they can naturally think of a sovereign unity like an empire, but with local governance structures that have considerable autonomy; they will spontaneously form a "New World Parliament" that is equal among mutual forces and includes everyone.

Even if this kind of understanding is not the same as the "common front" that Anson envisioned, it is better than nothing; after all, a consortium organized voluntarily is better than having to take the storm in person, leaving a group of half-hearted people who don't even know they are there. What are the guys doing forcibly squeeze together.

As for the last thing, there are actually two things, that is, let the colonies allow the Faithful Alliance of Beluga Harbor to operate within their borders, and at the same time let the "Good Guys of Beluga Harbor" open branches in major cities and ports.

An Sen did not elaborate on the details, but only talked in general terms about the former being an organization of believers of Universal Sect, while the latter was the same as the "Beluga Port Good People", except that it would become their local newspaper after landing.

The representatives didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

Compared with the model of the Church of Order, Universalism is the truly influential "Ring of Order" belief in the New World; Bishop Ripper of Beluga Harbor is also very popular in several surrounding colonies, even Winter Torch. Chengdu had heard of his name, and it was not unacceptable to allow his faith organization to operate everywhere.

As for newspapers, which are relatively new to the new world, the delegates don't really know what it means. They just have a vague feeling that the Clovis people may want to use it to collect intelligence. People are actually doing similar things. One way doesn't seem to matter.

But these two things are what Anson really wants, and it is also a move that must be accepted by the colonies in order to exert 100% power.

For immigrants from the New World with complex origins and unknown sources, belief is the absolute greatest common denominator, and it is the only force that can unite all people; however, the most popular ecumenical sect in the colonies is also a decentralized one.” There is great power but it cannot be exerted.

But if there is a voice, an organization that can mobilize this force... He can even go beyond the parliaments that are in power on the surface of each colony, and directly establish contact with the bottom, the largest number of immigrants.

As for the newspaper office... In addition to building momentum for the Rune family and collecting intelligence, these "small goals", the Grey Pigeon Castle Massacre has proved how charming it is.

A few sketches and some words make you feel "empathy" with what happened between a group of people you don't know thousands of miles away.

Let the little things that wouldn't make a splash at all create a stormy sea.

In fact, no one knows what happened to Grey Pigeon Castle, no one knows, all the confessions are only one-sided words of a group of refugees, and a few traders outside the city watching from a distance, and then making random assumptions content that comes out.

But when the two come together and become a newspaper "according to reliable sources", it immediately has magical powers and becomes a force that can directly shake the empire's rule in the colonies of the New World.

The Faithful Alliance + Newspaper is Anson Bach, or the "combination fist" of the Rune family infiltrating the entire new world; without shedding a drop of blood, without firing a single shot, without soldiers and without threats, you can start from scratch , to build the foundations of a new kingdom.

In the dark ages of the past, even in the days before St. Isaac, it was impossible. The squires and nobles of all levels had a deep-rooted control of the territory, and it was not something that a few rumors and a group of fanatics could shake.

But now is not a dark age, but a steam core, a railway, a printing press, a new type of factory, gunpowder, and countless roads opened up by the bones of the predecessors... modern.

A quarter of the 101st year of the saint's calendar has passed, and Anson is enjoying it.

"...So what happened in Dove Castle, the Empire really killed all the liberals there?"

Karl, who was smoking a pipe, frowned, stared at the map and asked behind him, "Except for the **** part, how much of what you said is true?"

"I don't know, and I don't think anyone will ever know." Sitting on the empty bench, An Sen, who was also smoking a pipe, had a faint smile on his lips, and proudly crossed Erlang's legs:

"We only know that the Empire dispatched the army, took control of Grey Dove Castle, and made the Colonial Council once again become the loyal minister of the Empire - as for the rest, is it that important?"

"...Of course it doesn't matter." As Anson's adjutant, Karl of course knew what this guy was thinking:

"In any case, there must be a group of liberals who were hanged or shot by the Empire, so the ones who survived must be loyalists - at least the Empire must think so, so of course you can say Grey Dove Castle The liberals were killed by the Empire."

"As for the liberals who escaped... As long as they are smart enough or not too stupid, they will definitely bite the 'Massacre' thing to death after discovering that it was the Clovis who protected them."

"Because only in this way, it is possible for them to use the power of the Storm Division and other colonies to return to Grey Dove Castle one day, avenge the murderers of their relatives, and get back what belongs to them."

"So...the truth doesn't matter."

Anson concluded proudly, raising his right index finger upwards: "But doing the right thing is very important."

"Then what is the 'right' thing to do?" Carl rolled his eyes.

"The most correct thing to do now is to have Fabian lead the team to 'deal with' the loyalists in Red Hand Bay, and then you stay in Long Lake Town and continue to take over the industries here, especially those that are critical to the military - the steel factory , the person in charge of the steel plant must be our person!"

An Sen, who was still smiling just now, had a solemn expression in an instant. The New World's manufacturing capacity is very weak, but on the other hand, any small-scale manufacturing industry may become a decisive factor.

Although he does not think that the mainland will choose to abandon him, considering the strength of the two countries' navies, it is better to be prepared for the possible interruption of support in the short term.

A small steel factory is not worth mentioning, and the output is barely enough to supply the Storm Division; but perhaps just such a small amount of steel output can determine the outcome of a war, and whether the Storm Division still wins after the victory. The strength of the fruit.

"Wait, you asked Fabian to take charge of suppressing the loyalists in Red Hand Bay?"

Carl was startled, as if he had heard something incredible.

"He is more experienced in this area, and he knows how to do it more cleanly without leaking... I mean, he is better at grasping the scale." Anson nodded lightly:

"Although you may not believe it, this is actually a very professional job, and professional things should be left to professional people."

"No, I believe it." Karl waved his hand, but his expression still did not recover:

"Go on, you haven't finished answering my question yet."

"what is the problem?"

"You let me stay in Changhu Town to receive the property here?"

"Yes, it is the industry of those loyalists who insist on resisting us and are unwilling to accept the agreement." Anson said as a matter of course:

"You are the chief of staff of the Storm Division. This is your own job."

"Of course, if you feel that you are too busy alone, I can also ask Secretary Allen to stay and handle some of the more troublesome paperwork for you, but you are still responsible for the military."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Carl finally asked the core question.

"I want to go back to Beluga Port." An Sen spread his hands, still confident:

"The local people who will reply to the letter are almost here. I have to go back and prepare before they come. Besides... Do the liberal remnants of Grey Pigeon Castle have to be settled, or do they need me to come forward?"

"So you threw a bunch of troubles at us, and ran back with your... fiancee?"

"...On this issue, I think your understanding of the problem is very problematic." Anson twitched the corner of his mouth:

"In other normal armies, subordinates generally regard this behavior of their superiors as trust."

"The premise is that we have to be a 'normal army'." Carl rolled his eyes again:

"The official war with the empire is about to begin. Do you really plan to leave the bridgehead of Changhu Town at this time and run back to Beluga Port?"

"No way, we have to confirm the local attitude."

Anson sighed helplessly: "If the mainland is determined not to stir up trouble in the colony... Although it's a pity to say that, we have to be prepared to 'guarantee the bottom line'."

Guarantee?

Carl thought for a second, then asked tentatively, "You mean... sell the liberals?"

"You can put it in a more euphemistic way." This time Anson rolled his eyes:

"Of course, I don't expect the mainland to refuse. It's definitely impossible to agree, but at least it should acquiesce."

An Sen's expression was a little apprehensive. The storm division had invested too much in the early stage for this war. If he was really called to stop, even if he could stop the loss in time, the price he had to bear would definitely not be too small.

"Actually... even if the mainland does not agree, you can consider taking ideas from the liberal remnants of Grey Pigeon Castle." Carl said:

"You don't need to actually send troops, but spend money to support a 'smart person' among them as your puppet, and use it as a symbol of resistance to unify the liberals. In the end, you can still win a portion of the cake."

"Hey? Good idea... It's a really good idea, how did you think of it?!"

"You're polite, mainly because your boss teaches well on weekdays."
