I Will Be The Crowned King

With the "occupation" of the military barracks that controlled the traffic choke and the surrender of the militia regiments, the entire Long Lake Town colony has completely fallen under the control of the Storm Division.

It's not accurate to say that - except for the town itself and a few nearby settlements, almost two-thirds of the area is a mystery to even know whether the two sides have gone to war.

However, this is not a problem. The colony is different from the mainland. It must occupy more than half of the local settlements to ensure absolute control; not to mention that this cannot be done in the new world with vast areas and sparsely populated areas. More importantly, it is not necessary at all. .

As long as they occupy the largest city and control the treasury and granary, let alone resistance in the rest of the area, the weaker ones cannot even be self-sufficient. Besides, there is no second way at all.

This is also the reason why the rebellion in the imperial colonies broke out so violently: the real rebellion was only the control of the central settlement, the richest group, the rest of the farms and villages, whether they knew what was going on, could only passively accept.

For the invaders, the advantage is that the cost of occupation and suppression is quite low, and the disadvantage is that the cost of revolting by the suppressed party is also very low; as long as the control of the core area is slightly weakened and the opponent is recaptured, the territory will be instantly lost. Large pieces, and the corresponding financial and material resources.

The competition for colonies is the competition for core cities; as long as you control and win over the local city council, you will be able to bring together the remaining tens of thousands of people and materials under the banner of your own camp.

Therefore, after confirming that the barracks fortress had been successfully captured, Anson immediately mobilized most of the transportation force of the Storm Division, and loaded a quarter of the deposit (gold) from the Long Lake Town Treasury and the "ransom" of the City Council to the fishing port, escorted by the cruiser. Port of Beluga Harbour.

At the same time, another cavalry was sent to Red Hand Bay to inform Lieutenant Jason of the cavalry, and asked him to urge the city council to speed up the work of contacting the rebel colony.

The two directions are one east and one west, but the purpose is the same - to spread the news that "Longhu Town has formed an alliance with Beluga Harbor and Red Hand Bay" as quickly as possible, and by the way, show off its force to the rest of the colonies.

The storm division, who occupied the center of the colony, began to try to replicate the "successful experience" of controlling the port of Carindia when they were in the vast land, and used the fastest speed to sack and rule Longhu Town.

The first step, of course, is to divide up the "booty": after deducting one-quarter of the amount handed over to Beluga Port, the remaining three-quarters and ten percent make up for the cost of dispatching troops, and five percent is the cost of starting the fleet. It can be regarded as a little spiritual compensation for them being pulled on the "pirate ship" by Anson.

With real money and silver in front of them, the crew and sailors expressed their guilt and their guilt was instantly healed.

In addition, An Sen directly gave 55% of the money to the middle and low-rise residents of Changhu Town in various ways, including but not limited to cleaning up the battlefield, rebuilding the destroyed houses, and assisting in transportation. Goods, supplies for the army, compensation for the wounded in the war and their families...

For the occupying army that must be quickly occupied and let the locals accept that the ruler has been replaced by an individual, the strategy of "opening the warehouse and releasing food" is never out of date, and the Storm Division can also accept it. Anyway, the Changhu Town Council pays the bill.

As for the last 30%, under the operation of the junior clerk Alan Dawn, it successfully disappeared from the accounts of the Long Lake Town Council and became various "accidents". Expenses", "emergency expenses" and "accident attrition"...then fell into the storm division's public funds.

According to the principle of fair distribution, one-fifth of the money goes to the officer corps, and four-fifths goes to all the soldiers. In addition, although the little clerk himself did not ask for anything, Anson still took 0.2% as a reward for him. .

After the vault was emptied, the next step was to completely disarm the armed forces in Changhu Town: except for a small steel factory, all the military workshops were relocated and sent to the Beluga Harbor Barracks.

In order to ensure the safety of Longhu Town, the Empire has left a full 10,000 rifles, eight six-pounders and five eight-pounders here; this batch of materials alone is enough to arm at least one storm division, or two or three A small infantry division.

Ansen also hesitated whether to bring this batch of supplies back; from a military point of view, it is most cost-effective to keep these batches of supplies and workshops in Changhu Town, and it can also be directly used as a bridgehead for attacking and capturing the rest of the empire's colonies. And time is better than all focus on Beluga Harbor.

But the premise of doing this is that he can be absolutely assured of Changhu Town, and he will not betray himself no matter what; although the current situation cannot be said to be completely assured, it is absolutely untrustworthy.

Now that Beluga Harbor wants to form an alliance with other rebel imperial colonies, what they can do is to crush the armed forces of all of them; without this, Beluga Harbor can't give anything.

As for the disarmed Changhu Town Militia, after receiving assurances from Fabian, An Sen felt that it would be a pity if such a "realistic" migrant worker lost his job; not to mention that the two sides were allies after all, and they completely stripped away the armed forces in Changhu Town. It will inevitably make other colonies fearful.

Therefore, after negotiation, the militia regiment of nearly 2,000 people was reduced to 1,200 people, and artillery was definitely not available, but Changhu Town was allowed to retain a company-sized cavalry.

This order of magnitude is absolutely sufficient to maintain the security of the region, and it does not pose too much threat to Beluga Harbor. After this battle, the militia force of the Faithful Alliance has almost begun to take shape; he is also a stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the colonial army, Anson I have full confidence in this group of mad believers with high morale.

As for not completely dismembering and dividing up Longhu Town, will it attract dissatisfaction from Red Hand Bay... They are full of dissatisfaction. If they could push back Longhu Town, An Sen would probably really give Red Hand Bay a little sweetness , but now the entire battle is fought by the storm division. For a group of allies whose contribution is negative, it is the greatest kindness not to annex it.

The only use value of Red Hand Bay for the Storm Division is to get in touch with other colonies, and the city council of Long Lake Town can also do this.

So if they can't complete their mission as soon as possible and show their sense of existence, Anson doesn't mind letting Longhu Town take charge of this work.

………………

Beluga Harbour, the port area.

With the rapid bell tolling at the dock, the cruiser "Serious" and two fast sailboats slowly entered the dock; Mason Weizler, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and a group of members of the Beluga Harbor quickly greeted him. 's entourage, let them come forward with a porter.

Under the gaze of a pair of desperately widened eyes, they were sinking enough to require four or five porters to use a trailer to move them. One after another, the containers with the seals of Beluga Harbor were removed from the deck of the ship as if they would never be interrupted. Transported to the pier.

A few hours later, the breathless porters were completely exhausted next to the piles of cargo boxes, and piles of cargo boxes had been stacked on the decks of the three ships; the city council and the Beluga Harbor Chamber of Commerce were not allowed to temporarily recruit workers, The originally empty pier has attracted half of the people of Beluga Port, flocking to watch this "grand event".

This large and quiet gathering reached its peak when a shaky indigenous worker "accidentally" missed the moment - when the dazzling light burst from the broken wooden box, the whole port was boiling. !

Exclamations and cheers were intertwined in the air, and even the "well-informed" members of the Beluga Port felt an indescribable shock at this moment; especially when they looked at the mountain of When it comes to the wooden box, all kinds of guesses beyond imagination are swirling in everyone's mind.

Could it be that the speaker, Your Excellency, evacuated the entire Changhu Town?

And after the shock, there is boundless ecstasy!

To be honest, although the Beluga Harbor Council chose to stand on Anson Bach's side on whether to go to war with Long Lake Town - or must stand on this side - most people are actually apprehensive. Uneasy, very uncertain about the outcome.

Yes, they don't doubt that Anson will win, but that is Longhu Town, which is fully armed, solidly defended, and has ample logistics... But if you lose a lot in order to win, even just hurt some fur , that will also shake the **** of the Storm Division.

But Anson Bach won, not only won, but also conquered the entire Long Lake Town unscathed - this is very shocking!

As a remote colony in Clovis, Beluga Harbor has never had any head-on conflict with the imperial army, so it has no concept of the difference between the imperial regular army and the colonial army; the Long Lake Town Militia, which is well equipped and even has artillery and fortresses, It is the standard image of the "Imperial Army" in their minds.

What does it mean that Anson Bach was able to conquer Long Lake Town so easily?

It shows that in front of the invincible Clovis army, the army of the empire is simply to help the worthless rotten fish and shrimp; the whole Beluga Harbour goes up and down, all the worries and worries before are all unnecessary; conquering the town of Long Lake, Conquer Red Hand Bay, Conquer Sail City, conquer all the colonies, everyone unites, the dream of making Beluga Harbor a lighthouse in the new world... is within sight!

This once seemed to be just the laughter of a tavern, a dream in midnight dreamland, a arrogant declaration of a newly arrived garrison commander, a slogan just used to inspire and unite more people, a perhaps great ideal; The fall is gradually...

became real.

………………

In addition to the crowd cheering for the victory of the Storm Division, in a secluded corner of the port, there is another group of people watching the carnival silently.

Looking at the mountains of cargo containers at the port, Red Hand Bay Councilman Pete Chatham pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, his expression so stiff that he couldn't see his expression, as if he had been completely frozen by the turbulent sea breeze in the early spring.

If the White Whale Harbor Council's mood at the moment is infinite ecstasy, then he is in a state of overlap of surprise and joy.

The joy is that Red Hand Bay has finally escaped from the hands of Changhu Town. What is terrified is that there is such a strong "ally", and it is also not good news for Red Hand Bay, which is weak and has suffered a heavy blow.

According to Pete's original expectation, even if Anson Bach could defeat Long Lake Town, the war would last at least three to five days or even a week. Even though Long Lake Town would still fall in the end, Moby Dick would not be unscathed; The Imperial armies of the are sure to receive the news, liaising with the rebellious colonies in order to stop the Clovis invasion.

At that time, Red Hand Bay will be sandwiched between the two major forces, and it will be able to use its unique geographical location and contact between the two sides to obtain better conditions for itself - if Beluga Port wants to go further, Red Hand Bay can Become the bridgehead for the Empire to grasp the movements of the Clovis; on the contrary, they are the intermediary between Beluga Harbor and all the rebel colonies of the Empire.

But now... He just hopes that Beluga Port can continue to abide by the agreement, instead of treating them as pawns that can be thrown aside after they are used up.

"Congressman Pete Chatham?"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind, and the startled Pete turned his head to look subconsciously, his eyes widening like a thief exposed during the theft:

"You... are you Miss Talia Rune?"

The petite and lovely girl in front of him, Pete only had a little impression in his mind, vaguely remembering that the other party seemed to be Anson Bach's fiancee and a wealthy family from home.

As for why a local wealthy family would marry an officer who was "exiled" to the colony, and why he would be alone, this seems to be an impossible secret in Beluga Port, even the cavalry lieutenant who was drunk by himself. Secretly.

"It's me." Talia looked at him with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth:

"I hope the noise at the port didn't cause you any trouble—because of the victory of the Storm Division~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone is so happy today, which has slightly affected the traffic of Beluga Port and the trade order of the port. I hope you will forgive me. "

"Oh, what's wrong... No! No, there's nothing to forgive!" The flustered Pete quickly changed his words:

"The evil Changhu Town bandit gang was defeated by the Justice Division of Beluga Harbor. This is the long-awaited good news for the entire Red Hand Bay, the great news! If possible, I even want to put this good news right now. Tell my family and friends and let them celebrate with Moby Dick!"

"Really?"

Talia's eyes lit up: "Then I'll ask you, for someone with such a high reputation and influence as you to spread this great news, it must be more convincing than what we Clovisers say themselves!"

"No, you are overrated." Pete laughed along:

"But you're right, I should hurry back and write a letter to tell the Red Hand Bay Council about the situation; so if you don't mind, please forgive me for having to say goodbye to you immediately."

"What are you talking about? Talia is Anson's fiancee, and you are his friend - we don't need to be so polite."

Talia, who was still smiling, looked at Pete's back, leaving in a panic. The headlines of tomorrow's newspaper were already ready to pop out of his mind.
