I Will Be The Crowned King

The next morning, Anson, who woke up naturally, woke up refreshed, walked to the table by the window in the restaurant in loose pajamas, enjoyed the breakfast carefully prepared by Talia instead of Lisa, and leisurely watched the mail from all over the world. A summary of incoming information.

At first, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of life. Even if he knew that it was easy for the girl to kill him, he would carefully check whether the breakfast prepared by the other party was poisoned; he would instinctively open it before leaving." Ability", otherwise I always feel that there are eyes staring at my back.

For two or three months, he was always cautious, and he relaxed a little bit under Talia's meticulous attention; from being fully alert to now, he turned on the "search mode" as soon as he woke up, and took the initiative to find the location of breakfast.

Unconscious of all this, Anson Bach quickly finished the maple sugar cake as dessert, picked up the letter on the table and started talking to himself:

"Red Hand Bay completed the purge of the Loyalist faction, actively cooperated with the Storm Division to build a temporary military camp, and bribed Fabian with a thousand acres of plantation, intending to win the venue for the first session of the Free Confederation... Very generous. , to tell the truth, if there is no sister Frey, it is not impossible..."

"The "Beluga Harbor Good People" newspaper branch has been stationed in various colonies, lacking manpower and lack of equipment... Well, just to see if there are talents in this field in the latest batch of immigrants, it doesn't matter if there are no, slander, distort facts and exaggerate , it's not a particularly difficult quality to cultivate..."

"The Faithful Alliance began to expand in various colonies. It gained momentum and was supported by the local ecumenical forces, but it was quite resistant to Bishop Ripper's 'armed of faith'... Fundamentalists just hate it. How can a faith without its own arm persuade others?"

"The assets of the 'Loyalists' in Long Lake Town have been divided up, and the officer corps is more satisfied with the result... Carl and Allen have succeeded. It seems that it was a wise decision to leave this trouble to them..."

"A letter was sent from Grey Snow Town in the east, expressing its willingness to accept the garrison of the Storm Division and pay taxes to Beluga Harbor. The Autonomous Council was merged into the Beluga Harbor colony... It's not surprising, but it went so smoothly. It’s really great to solve it, so I don’t have to repeat what happened at Beluga Port again…”

... Putting down the pile of letterheads, An Sen sipped his coffee and fell into deep thought.

The question that must now be settled as soon as possible is where exactly the first Free Confederate Assembly shall be convened, and which colony shall be established as the seat of the Confederate capital.

From the point of view of maximizing interests, Ansen certainly hopes to be in Beluga Port, but this is obviously too difficult; in addition, Changhu Town and Red Hand Bay are both good choices; but the former has similar problems to Beluga Port. It is easy to expose one's own ideas; although the latter is not impossible, it is easy to encourage its superfluous ambitions.

The most important thing is that with the pair of tools of the Frey sisters... These two understanding girls, the value of Red Hand Bay for themselves and the Rune family has actually been reduced a lot, even in order to ensure that the two sisters are in the Free Confederation. status, and the seat of parliament cannot be placed in Red Hand Bay.

So what to do?

………………

"What should I do? I also want to know what to do, who told me?!"

Heart-piercing screams echoed over the governor's residence in Yangfan City.

In the not-so-spacious conference room, Bernard Morwes, whose face was extremely ugly, slapped the map behind him, staring at the representatives and officers in front of him, his voice hoarse.

No one speaks.

The silent officers bowed their heads, stiff like a group of puppets, without even a simple whisper, conveying a message to the commander in the simplest and crudest way: this matter has nothing to do with us.

The councillors were all tense, staring at their governor and colony governor with eyes full of caution and anxiety, as if they were looking at the savior.

Facing these two completely different but useless subordinates, Bernard's mood can only be described as despair.

If in the past it was just suspicion, now he can basically be sure: not to mention the enemy, even his subordinates have a deeper understanding of the current situation than him, and the whole new world is the only one who is blind!

Just a day ago, his loyal subordinates and parliament representatives who "knowing nothing and dare not ask anything" suddenly handed him two pieces of information.

The first piece of information came from the Yangfan City Council, and the content was that the Green Dragon, which had gone to the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, might have disappeared.

How did the Yangfan City Council know that the Green Dragon had gone to the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea?

Very simply, because some "big men" in the homeland provided them with intelligence.

How did the mainland know that the Green Dragon did not return?

This is even simpler, because if the Green Dragon returns smoothly, there will be a large number of coal ore "mysteriously listed" in the North Port of Clovis, but now those ore have not appeared; if they are aware of the problem, they will check the information, and it is not difficult to get no The returning Green Dragon went to the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea and disappeared in the waters controlled by Clovis.

As for why they provided such important information to the Colonial Chief Minister in such a "timely" manner... That's because this coal mine trade is too important, from the Imperial Fleet to the Imperial Palace in Xiaolong City, all of which are required Inside the cake.

Even if the loss of a ship's cargo is not too serious, the Yangfan City Chamber of Commerce, which is a laborer, does not dare to be slighted, and must find out the situation as soon as possible to make a deal.

The second piece of information was provided by the army—more precisely, it was collected by the cavalry sent out, and there were not many credible rumors: the indigenous people who had just been suppressed seemed to be moving closer to the north. Gather again and prepare to attack all colonies including the Empire again.

But after all, the indigenous people are savage and backward, even if there are a few old gods who have combat effectiveness; not to mention the regular army in their hands, even if the militia is organized for a little training, and then provided with sufficient weapons and equipment, at least the victory is absolutely possible Winning is just a trivial matter.

But right now it's deadly!

Colonial collective rebellion, and he has exhausted himself to control two of the troops, and he has to prepare for the battle against the Clovis army...

Don't forget, that **** Anson Bach still has a fleet in his hands; if he makes a long-distance attack and landed directly in Sail City, what can he do to defend himself against the riots of the indigenous people? !

And if you don't stop the rioting indigenous people and let them turn the empire's colonies into ruins, what's the point of winning the invasion of the Clovis - anyway, it's not them who lost, isn't it yourself who is unlucky?

The most important thing is that these people don't say anything sooner or later, and they have to wait until things are completely out of control before they are willing to reveal a little useful information to themselves. What's the use of this? !

Do they think that as long as the situation is extremely urgent, they will be able to get support from the mainland?

To be honest, Bernard really has the urge to give up and walk away now; judging by the current situation, he can almost say that he has no chance of winning: a group of ill-conceived colonial councillors and property owners, a group of self-righteous Half-heartedly pretending to be loyal officers, a group of colonial people who have no self-awareness and actually delusionally want to be equal to the mainland...

If this is well-prepared to win, and even win over a group of Clovis people who rebelled in the colony, then it will be a ghost.

However, given that the emperor had appointed himself as the chief minister of the colony, he clearly threw the responsibility on himself; losing a teacher and losing land and leaving a job and absconding were two completely different charges.

After all, the empire is not Clovis, nobles...especially powerful and powerful families, as long as they fulfill their obligations for the emperor, even if they fail, the emperor has no right to be held accountable, and at most deprives them of their positions; but if they dare to refuse, the emperor can have Good reason to pack up the traitor in his mind.

Considering that this is most likely a trap prepared by the emperor for him, it is convenient for him to clean up his disastrous defeat in the vast land; even if he knows that the situation is critical, Bernard still has to bear the humiliation and bear this responsibility.

But although the Colonial Chief Minister felt wronged, in the eyes of the Yangfan City Council and the rebel army, it was something else entirely.

In dealing with the colonies, the Governor not only did not cut taxes, but even because of the successive rebellions of multiple colonies, in order to ensure the army supplies and the part paid to the mainland, various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were added, which led to the just experienced beast slave riots and liberals. The cleaning of the sailing city made it worse, and the wealth shrunk significantly.

Moreover, the watershed between liberals and loyalists was not so clear. In order to increase the efficiency of repression and purges, various wrongful convictions, bribery and bribery are of course indispensable. In addition, the executive party is the army, and the person who ordered it is the minister in charge. The surviving "loyalists" certainly won't have much to say.

In terms of the army, he, Bernard Morwes, was originally a misnomer. It was only because of his honorable status and the tragic death of the former commander that the army had to obey his orders.

Bernard, who took command, did not give the army, especially the officers, much benefit, which made many officers who had hoped to achieve "financial freedom" by countering the rebellion complain quite a bit.

Moreover, Morwes is a wealthy family in the southern part of the empire. Most of the officers in the counter-insurgency army are from the north, and their goodwill towards him is almost zero; it is already the limit that they are not loyal, and it is wishful thinking to expect them to be loyal.

Bernard is also very aware of this, so in addition to complaining that he must come up with a solution to the immediate crisis as soon as possible, otherwise, without the need for an enemy, Yangfan City will be able to disintegrate by itself.

"...The most important issue right now is to confirm the movement of the Clovis army as soon as possible!"

In the dead silence, the helpless Bernard could only fight hard, and finally made a decision: "Whether it is the missing Green Dragon, or the second beast slave riot that is about to strike, compared with the strong enemy of the Clovis. It's all secondary - as long as we can beat Anson Bach in Moby-Dick, we've got plenty of room for the rest."

"We only control two colonies, with a total force of less than 10,000; the enemy controls the rebel colonies plus the Clovis' own territory... The gap is six to two, and Beluga Harbor is less than the distance from North Harbor. When Derain arrives at Yangfan City, the disadvantage is very obvious, and it must be resolved quickly!"

As for the whereabouts of the Green Dragon and the safety of Ed Levent, Bernard could only pray to the Ring of Order, and then quickly put it behind him; after all, he didn't have a fleet in his hands, and he couldn't manage it even if he wanted to.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that this friend will not have any trouble; the influence of the Levant family is one aspect, and he also hopes that he can persuade the three countries of the North Sea to attack Beluga Harbor from the east.

Hearing the order of the Minister-in-Charge, the eyes of the congressmen and officers present lit up one after another, excited as if they had been saved, and hurriedly cheered up.

"The entire army was dispatched and assembled at Grey Pigeon Castle. The defense of Yangfan City was temporarily handed over to the militia under the parliament. One-third of the weapons and ammunition were prepared by themselves, and two-thirds were from the army."

Now that he has made up his mind, Bernard immediately took back his demeanor when he was chief of staff, and arranged all aspects of work calmly: "I will leave a private company in the city, and if necessary, let them directly take over the militia and assume command. Work."

"The Parliament and the Governor's Palace have allocated a special fund to buy mercenaries, adventurers and those scattered colonial groups inside and outside the city, and let them go eastward to collect intelligence for the army and harass those rebel colonies."

"Offer a bounty to all the liberals who rebelled in the colony, and the amount will match the level of the local bounty of the old gods; regardless of life or death, if you can capture it alive, the bounty will be doubled!"

"Get to know the progress of the so-called 'Free Confederation' as soon as possible, as well as the gathering place of the Clovis army; any information, whether true or false, must be reported to me immediately - did you hear it?!"

The sonorous and powerful voices echoed around the conference table, but the people who responded to the minister were looking at each other, with different expressions revealing a bit of the same embarrassment.

"What's up?"

Bernard looked around for a week, snorted and raised his brows.

"grown ups……"

The parliamentary representative raised his hand tremblingly and swallowed his throat in fear: "Are you sure about the intelligence...whether it's true or not?"

"Sure, sure."

"Even if the source of the information... is very problematic?"

"Didn't I say that any information, whether true or false, must be reported immediately. What does this have to do with the source..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Bernard suddenly realized something, he took a deep breath, resisted his anger and asked, "Is the "very problematic" source you're talking about, the Moby Dick Good Man?"

"Uh……"

The parliamentary representative was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No."

"That's it..." Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and waved at him:

"Tell me, what is that?"

Representative of the parliament: "It's the "Changhu Town Honest Daily"."

Bernard Morwes: "..."

The conference room fell into dead silence again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Under the oppressive atmosphere, the representative of the parliament stood alone in the middle of the group, looking at the chief minister whose face was dark and lost in thought, for a while he was a little undecided.

"Bernar... Lord Nader?"

"..."

"Lord Bernard Morwis?"

"……what?"

"Your question is not over yet."

"question?"

"Yes, you asked me about the Free Confederation and the Storm Division."

"Oh, where are they?"

"In Winter Torch City."
