Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 708

Fortunately, with the opening of the astral plane, the jackals in those planes can also be mobilized and put into various tasks.

Although it was said that the Jackals were temporarily inaccessible due to differences in different environments in different planes, various documents could still be transmitted.

So after Nora figured out a way to open a few space doors that could deliver items at fixed points, Lawrence used this two-world linkage tactic to gather enough personnel to complete these tasks at the same time.

Among these tasks, the most complicated is the distribution of land in Yanzhou.

Because the West Coast of Yanzhou where the Jackals are now almost all of the land of the wilderness race, the Jackals need to be given a reasonable status.

No one disagrees with the fact that these jackals are a civilized race in the wilderness, because their beliefs can fully prove the existence of this point, but there are some minor problems in determining their status.

Since Lawrence and Nora uploaded the information about these jackals to the Civilized Race Alliance, many people have firmly believed that these jackals are just scattered tribes, not a political entity.

The reason for this recognition is also very simple. For many countries, it is difficult for them to obtain territory from their neighbors because of the gods. Therefore, in addition to searching for the astral plane, the only way to open up territory is to find the wild land. I want land.

Opening up the astral plane is a very risky thing, because this process not only requires huge resources, but also contains some kind of unpredictability.

To give the simplest example, for those forces engaged in the development of the astral plane, they spent a lot of money to find a plane, only to find that it was a barren plane that was not suitable for any normal creatures to survive. Everywhere, the cost of recurring compensation is lost.

Therefore, compared to this kind of opening up and expanding territory, which is similar to throwing a dice, various forces are more willing to choose to grab territory from the hands of wild races.

For example, in the territories of the established countries in the Old Continent, the area of ​​the barren land may be less than 1/3 of the country’s area after being opened up.

However, ordinary countries would not actively touch the wild lands within this territory, because these wild lands have their own strengths that can be preserved to this day. So they often choose to open up.

These developments were mainly aimed at Yanzhou and the New World, but compared to the New World where civilizations and various wild powers were not very strong before, the difficulty of Yanzhou’s development was naturally more than an order of magnitude higher.

Although this land is one of several important birthplaces of human civilization, it has experienced the natural disasters before it. This is no longer a cradle, but a barren and dangerous **** on earth.

Of course, such a large continent cannot be filled with such regions. It’s just that the opening up of the New World and the opening up of Yanzhou were carried out at the same time.

Therefore, after realizing that the new world was less difficult to develop, all the focus was immediately placed there.

After doing this, one of the most direct manifestations is that although the population density of the New World is small, it already has its own country and civilization, while the civilization of Yanzhou is only on the back of the sea coast and a few small islands around it. .

In fact, the various forces in the Old Continent wanted to open up Yanzhou first. Because going to the New World requires crossing the dangerous sea in the west, and Yanzhou is in the southern part of the Old World, and it only takes a short voyage to reach it.

But after sending out reconnaissance teams many times, they discovered that Yanzhou not only possessed various powerful and evil creatures, but the local terrain was also extremely unfriendly. Both the tropical rainforest and the desert had claimed many lives.

Therefore, in desperation, the group of pioneers can only choose small islands around the continent as their footholds, and use these small islands as bases for small-scale, irregular exploration.

And now the group of jackals are located just at the edge of the big forest in the middle of Yanzhou, an area that everyone thought was absolutely barren.

So when I knew that there was a civilized stronghold in the western area of ​​the Great Forest, almost all civilized races became interested in it. So naturally I have some ideas about the ownership of this area.

For example, if they think that these jackals are just a few scattered tribes rather than a whole, then they can have the opportunity to obtain this piece of territory located in the middle of Yanzhou, which is very important from a geographical perspective.

After acquiring this territory, those people can use this territory and the Jackals who are very familiar with the surroundings to continue to expand their territory to the surrounding area.

But on the other hand, besides Lawrence and Nora, there are many people who firmly believe that these jackals belong to a civilization and should be treated equally.

In addition to the three countries of the Holy Visby Empire and the New World, there are also a series of countries from the east of the Holy Visby Empire.

Because in their view, Lawrence and the others now have the highest control over these territories, so if it is determined that the Jackals are from a political entity, then it will naturally be possible for Lawrence and the others to gain actual control of the territory.

Lawrence’s current territory is in a semi-independent state, especially after Nora lit the sacred fire. The emperor of the Holy Visby Empire knew this well.

However, for the emperor of the empire, on the one hand, he insisted on the idea that we are the country, constantly strengthening the centralization of power and transforming the entire country into a modern country.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the emperor, it is necessary to maintain the traditional aristocratic system of the empire. To ensure that the entire family can maintain the dominance of the entire country from generation to generation.

This contradictory thinking caused the opponent to confiscated Earl Sauer’s original empire’s territory in the last incident, but it also gave Lawrence almost independent rights and territory.

Because of this approach, Lawrence’s perception of the empire and the royal family is fairly good, so in the subsequent construction, Lawrence may give those orders to those companies from the Holy Visby Empire to strengthen the ties with the empire. .

And those deliberately maintained relationships played an important role at this time. In the view of the Holy Visby Empire, if the land belongs to Lawrence, they will also get a share of their own in this land. interest.

The result was that in this important argument, the two sides quickly became so quarrelsome that they did not come up with a final conclusion for a week.

As a result, in this case, UU reading www. Both parties of uukanshu.com decided to find an impartial third party, that is, the church, to make a ruling according to tradition. Because the church is absolutely neutral in this respect, everyone is more willing to believe in them.

In this matter, the church is obviously more inclined to Nora’s thinking, because the main cause of this incident comes from the group of jackals who believe in Nora. In terms of faith, the church is naturally more inclined to church.

However, the proposal to directly assign this land to Lawrence was directly rejected, because for those countries, if they could not prevent this land from becoming an inherent territory of the Holy Visby Empire, then it would be good to set up some obstacles.

Therefore, they opposed allowing these jackals to become secular territories directly because the jackals were believers rather than leaders, but to directly make those territories become independent religious territories.

Apparently, the group tried to bury a nail between the church of New Sauer and Nora. Because even if there are gods, there will be various contradictions between the church and the secular government.

But what they don’t know is that the relationship between Lawrence and Nora is unique in the entire world, and there will be no contradictions as they imagined, nor will it affect the control and development of this territory. .
