Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 277

“Ah, Port Atona, this can also be regarded as an overseas territory of the Empire.”

Standing on the deck of the battleship, looking at the bustling port ahead and the buildings and streets in the distance, Imperial Major General Hernan Parker said with emotion that he had already heard about the prosperity of Atona Port, and when he saw it today, Indeed it lives up to its reputation.

“General, this is still the territory of the Republic of Dans in name.” The adjutant beside him reminded, and then he added: “Although everyone knows that this is actually the territory of the Empire.”

“Ha, sooner or later.” Hernan said contemptuously, “The weak Danse Republic doesn’t deserve such a prosperous port. They don’t have the strength to protect their property, and we can.”

Not only Hernan, but also all the officers and soldiers of the 7th Division who came with him also harbored such thoughts. They mocked the weakness of the Danes, but envied the wealth of the Port of Atona they controlled.

Hernan Parker of the Fourth Army and his Seventh Division were the troops that were sent to the Republic of Dans to provide military assistance. As an elite army of the Empire, Charles had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Army, so he started from the army. In the Fourth Army, Hernan’s Seventh Division was selected. More than 5,000 of the entire division’s 8,000 people will be involved in the civil war in the Republic of Danse with military assistance, and the remaining 3,000 people will be involved. was to stay in Port Atona as a local garrison.

Along with them were the 30,000 rifles, 200 artillery pieces and three-ton cans that the Empire had promised to help, as well as the Imperial First Fleet, led by Admiral Vitaligue Stewart, who would be handed over to them after they were unloaded. The government of the Republic of Danse, which used the port of Atona as a new naval base, was responsible for the task of clearing the pirates in the surrounding waters.

It can be said that the actual combat training is correct.

After the fleet docked at the port, Hernan did not rush to leave the ship, but stood on the deck and watched the people in the port being cleared by the Danse government forces. Those Danse soldiers with guns forcibly cleared out a huge piece of In the open space, a man dressed as a general and another official stood in front of this open space, waiting for the person in charge of the empire.

Watching this scene, Hernan sorted out his clothes and left the flagship with Admiral Vitalig who walked out of the captain’s room.

A few minutes later, looking at the imperial generals who stepped off the battleship, the generals and officials of the Republic of Danse quickly put enthusiastic smiles on their faces. hand, enthusiastically said:

“Thank you for the generous assistance of the empire. We have long heard about the power of the empire. Now that we see it, it really lives up to its reputation! Whether it is the performance of the soldiers or the size of the fleet, they far exceed those of the surrounding countries!”

The two of them spoke very artistically. They didn’t mention that they only obtained the aid of the Empire by renting the Port of Atona.

Although Hernan was from the military, he could still hear the other party’s careful thinking. He smiled slightly, but did not deliberately dismantle it, but introduced himself: “I am Major General Hernan Parker, and this is Navy Commander Vita. Lieutenant General Lig Stuttle, what do you two call them?”

“It’s a shame, we all forgot to introduce ourselves first.” The Danse official responded immediately, and he immediately introduced: “I’m Bellock Kenke, Deputy Secretary of the War Department, and this is Bruce Keene. Lieutenant General.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, General Parker. I hope we can reach consensus on military affairs,” said General Dans.

Hernan nodded at him, and then said: “I won’t say anything extra, the first batch of military aid this month arrived with us. According to the agreement, a total of 30,000 muskets, 130 guns Six-pounder, seventy 12-pounders and their associated ammunition, and three tons of various military cans.”

“Thank you very much, we will send someone to unload the supplies immediately,” said the official Kenke, then glanced behind him. His attendant stepped forward very consciously, and after listening to the official’s whisper, he turned and left.

It didn’t take long for the coolies who had been prepared to step onto the deck of the battleship in an orderly manner under the supervision of Danse soldiers, and went to carry the supplies hoarded in the cabin. Hernan glanced at the coolies, who were in the port of Atona. The most common group of people has nowhere to go. They can only rely on their own strength to earn a meager salary. There may be accidents. Not only can they not get the money, but they also owe a lot of debt.

It can be said that those coolies are an important part of the Port of Atona. Without their existence, the Port of Atona would not be able to operate normally. They are like worker ants in the ant’s nest. Although they are small and insignificant, they cannot be lacking. The presence.

Seeing that Hernan was staring at the bitter laborers, the Danse officer quickly changed the subject and made a gesture of invitation, saying, “Two generals, in order to entertain the two, we have set up a table in the city hall. For the banquet, please go with the two of you and your entourage.”

Hernan and Vitalig looked at each other, the former shook his head and said: “Forget the banquet, Your Excellency Kenke, the most important thing now is our army’s military takeover of Atona Port and the handover of local government affairs, It’s not too late to attend the banquet after all this is done, don’t you think?”

“Ah, yes yes yes.” The official’s face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and said, “You are right, I will arrange a special person to hand over to your army.”

Next, with the cooperation of the Dans, the soldiers of the 7th Division of the Empire who descended from the battleship took over the defense of the Port of Atona in an all-round way~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is not only Port of Atona that was leased to the Empire The port area also includes the urban area outside the port area and a large area of ​​land near the urban area.

Part of the garrison in the concession area will be stationed in the barracks in the urban area to deal with possible unrest in the urban area, and the other part will be stationed on the land outside the urban area. The latter will pull up a long barbed wire fence on the border of the concession area. , dig trenches to prevent people on both sides from “smuggling”.

If you want to enter the concession area, the only way is to pass the inspection of the garrison outpost. Only after the inspection of the soldiers at the outpost to ensure that no prohibited items are carried, can you enter the concession area.

There is no doubt that the Empire will renovate the Port of Atona next. The new government will gather the homeless on the streets and build public facilities to solve the unemployed population in Port Atona.

Not only that, the mixed coolies in the port area will also be rectified, which is proposed by General Hernan Parker, who requires every coolie in the port area to be registered, which can also facilitate management.

The governance of the coolies will be a long-term operation, but there will be plenty of time in the concession area to execute.
