Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 269

A few days after the coronation ceremony held on the first day of the new year, Charlie took his prospective queen Sophia into a special royal carriage and slowly drove out of Ankerton under the **** of the royal guard.

Their destination was the city of Hierens, the capital of the Hildi region to the north. The former capital of the kingdom, although its political status declined after it became part of the Empire, was still preserved in the hearts of many Hildi people. important position.

That’s why Charlie chose to visit the city after his coronation, where he and Sophia will hold a traditional Hildi wedding to show the locals how much he values ​​the Hildi region.

This can also break the rumors and unrest that have been circulating in the Hildi region since it was annexed.

In addition to Charlie and Sophia, most of the guests who attended the coronation ceremony set out for the north, and they did not miss this opportunity to “see the world”. They all followed the royal motorcade, and the long line almost covered the entire line of stones The avenues were full, so that pedestrians on the road were forced to walk on the snow on both sides of the avenue.

“Is this the majesty of an emperor of a country?”

Standing on the ground covered with a thick layer of white snow, a foreign businessman with a large rucksack looked at the royal motorcade that was gradually leaving, and expressed such emotion.

The companion beside him patted his shoulder lightly and reminded: “Let’s go, let’s go faster, and we can enter Ankerton before dark, but don’t stop here.”

The businessman nodded to his companion who patted him, and said with emotion: “A person with great ambitions should also be treated like this.” After that, he tightened the shoulder straps on his shoulders, followed behind his companion and continued to move towards The city of Ankerton moves forward.

Such a business team did not attract the attention of others. At this time, Charlie, who was sitting in the luxurious carriage, was wearing a single shirt and had just lowered the curtains behind the car window. When passers-by on both sides of the road saw his royal motorcade, they would stop. Hats off to pay tribute, this shows how popular his prestige is.

After putting down the curtains, Charlie looked at the stack of reports placed on the small table in the carriage. These reports were presented to him by the cabinet before departure. He scratched his head helplessly and picked up the top report. Leaning on the cushions and flipping through.

The content of this report happened to be about the Republic of Dans. After the coronation ceremony, the Deputy Speaker of the Republic of Dans, as Charlie and the others expected, took the initiative to contact the Minister of Foreign Affairs Yassen and raised hopes. A request for assistance from the Empire.

Of course, the vice-speaker of the Danse people is not the master who wants empty hands and white wolves. For this reason, he also took the initiative to propose an exchange condition – the Danse government is willing to lease the country’s largest port to the empire for five years. All the income of the year goes into the hands of the empire, in exchange for the empire to provide at least 40,000 rifles, two hundred infantry guns and corresponding supporting ammunition, as well as three tons of military canned food or other food every month, and also hope that the empire can send at least one division of troops to assist in the war, and to have instructors assist in the training of government recruits.

Lease the largest port in the country for five years. The Danse government is really desperate. You must know that the annual trade revenue provided by the port of Atona, their largest port, can account for one-third of the entire national fiscal revenue. With most of the territory in the hands of the rebels, without this third of the income, the government’s situation will be even more embarrassing.

But all this has nothing to do with Charlie, and he doesn’t care what happens to the Danse government after losing this port. What he cares about is whether the benefits he gets can make up for the price he paid after agreeing to the Danse government’s request.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the geographical location of Port Atona.

The Port of Atona, or the Republic of Danse, is located at the top of the inverted triangle peninsula protruding from the central and southern parts of the Marnes continent, and the Port of Atona is at the top of the protruding inverted triangle. Ships bypassing this peninsula will choose to enter the port to replenish.

Therefore, the port of Atona has become the most prosperous large port in the Republic of Dans. Every year, tens of thousands of ships enter the port. The taxes they pay and the trade volume of the port constitute a third of the fiscal revenue of the Republic. One of the big heads.

Such a prosperous port has also become a hot target in the eyes of many pirates. They roam the sea off the port of Atona, waiting for an opportunity to attack the passing merchant ships. This sea area is also known as the “Sea of ​​Thieves”.

Although the navies of the Republic of Danse and surrounding countries regularly scavenge and attack pirates in the Sea of ​​Thieves, driven by huge wealth, for hundreds of years, the pirates in this sea area are still like weeds. Blow and live.

Looking at the ideals, although the Empire’s navy has been rebuilt, it still lacks sufficient practical experience in general, and the naval battle in the Proden Sea after the reconstruction is obviously not enough.

If the Danse government really leased the Port of Atona to the Empire, he could move the Imperial Navy’s base there, and let the Imperial Navy use the bandits in the surrounding waters to practice their skills and gain experience.

Thinking of this, the steelyard in his heart tilted a little more.

In addition to the high taxes, he can also provide the Navy with an overseas base. The price he has to pay is only to provide 30,000 rifles, 200 artillery pieces and three tons of canned food every month. The most valuable of them is that one. The strength of the division and the instructors who assist in the training~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, the latter two are the elites of the empire.

With the current financial situation of the Republic of Danse, the taxes they collected were not enough to pay the high cost of hiring foreign mercenaries, and it was indeed wise to lease out the entire port in exchange for military and material assistance from the Empire. choose.

After all, the situation facing their government can’t get any worse. Even without this port, it won’t make the situation worse. Instead, it can be exchanged for powerful foreign aid. After the foreign aid stabilizes the domestic situation, they will be able to Slowly take back everything that was forced to lose before.

After thinking about it, Charlie agreed to the request made by the Danes.

He picked up the quill in the ink tank, and wrote his own comments and name on the report. Finally, he solemnly picked up the seal and affixed it.

After the seal was stamped, Charlie put the first report aside, ready to wait for the ink on it to dry before being sent. He immediately picked up a new report and began to check it.

I don’t know how many times after reading, Charlie finally saw the report about the ambassador of Becky Kingdom.
