I Will Be The Crowned King

When dealing with allies—especially those with useful value—Anson has always been very polite and polite; especially in terms of language, most of the time he will deliberately put his attitude low.

Except for a certain family, of course.

In addition to the important reason of asking others, the main reason is to avoid that the high blood pressure was temporarily defeated by the self-defense because of the two sides' emotions, which led to the collapse of the plan; like the battle of the sailing city, it was so thoughtful, but it was miscalculated in the end; then if the Confederacy directly If you throw the pot and become a deserter, don't you want to be completely finished.

Don't think that this kind of thing won't happen, and don't treat all your allies as "sane people" who are absolutely calm; any of them may be turned against, bribed, or provoked, and the relationship between enemy and friend may change overnight. Just turn it upside down - that's the norm.

Except for a certain family, of course.

This is also the main reason why Anson worked so hard to win over William and the Cecil family behind him; whether there can be reinforcements in Clovis, and how many reinforcements, the attitude of the royal family and the Privy Council can have a maximum effect of 30%, and the rest Seventy percent depends on the Cecil family and the royal fleet.

So Anson must be polite, very polite.

If he is rude, the style of painting should be like this:

Destroying the imperial army, conquering the six major colonies, and establishing the Free Confederation... I didn't get a single piece of support from you during the whole process, and I didn't see a single reinforcement, so I got the so-called "acquiescence"; in the end, the task was overfulfilled!

It doesn't matter, there are difficulties in the homeland, I admit it; but my task has been completed, and then it depends on your performance.

if not? Do you still expect me to amass an army of 100,000 troops to deal with the counterattack of the imperial navy and army; summon another 100 battleships to offer the resources of the new world unconditionally regardless of the cost and the consequences-what a spring and autumn dream!

I didn't expect one or two legions to be sent from the mainland, but there are scattered troops to supplement, weapons and equipment and ammunition are empty, right? You don't need to push the empire's large fleet directly, but it's okay to establish a safe and usually unstable route to **** the cargo ships, right?

Let’s not talk about the royal family, your Cecil family has been eating oil in this war—all kinds of minerals, animal slaves, arms... All new trade has to go through Beigang, and if you want to keep it, you have to die. Let me block the empire's fleet!

If it is this kind of "low emotional intelligence school" conversation technique, Anson estimates that the Cecil family will definitely contribute, but it is difficult to say if they are not willing to cooperate with their own plans.

As for the local support of Clovis... In fact, with the resources of the Rune family and the investment of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, he is not in urgent need anymore.

And to be honest, given the current situation of Clovis, the most elite main force must be facing off against the empire on the western front. The eastern front must retain the lowest-line garrison to prevent harassment, and the southern front must control the newly occupied Eagle Point City while reinforcing Han. The soil side warns Iser, who is still in a state of chaos...

In this case, even if there are reinforcements, it is obvious what kind of quality it will be; besides, the Storm Division is already a small group with substantial interests, and adding manpower while the main force is not damaged may not necessarily improve the combat effectiveness.

Of course, it is best to supplement the source of troops and weapons, especially experienced officers and veterans; it does not matter if there is no, and it is not impossible to find a way to pull up an auxiliary corps.

In fact, he has already done so. The Faithful Alliance is already a semi-official religious organization with an armed nature; but this is not enough. After all, the most important role of the Alliance is to unite people's hearts.

Outside of it, a "new army" that completely obeys its own command and is not interfered by any forces must be re-established; the combat effectiveness can be slightly inferior, but the number must be sufficient to make up for the shortcoming of the Storm Division in the positional warfare.

Of course, these are all problems in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to determine the status of Sail City in the Free Confederation by taking advantage of the opportunity that the fleet has not yet set off, the entire Clovis army will be stationed in Sail City and the Confederate troops are still arriving.

If some things can’t be done while it’s hot, then they’ll be very passive. Adhering to the principles of freedom, independence and impartiality, as well as the irreversible relationship between himself and Louis, after careful consideration and discussions with many high-level executives, Anson, Prepare to grant Sail City and the other five colonies full equality.

So when this "Draft Agreement for Joining the Confederacy of Sail City" appeared in front of Louis, the governor of Sail City, who had been in office for a month, completely ignored the friendship between the two and refused outright.

"This is impossible - such harsh conditions, Yangfan City absolutely cannot bear!"

In the Sail City Council, facing Anson and the presidents or liberal leaders of the various colonial councils, the young knight stood up and threw the draft on the table with a "Crack!"

"The agreement must be based on respect for our side and fully demonstrate the sincerity of the Confederacy, otherwise there is no need to negotiate!"

There was silence in the hall.

Except for Paulina, who had dealt with Louis before, the rest of the top Confederates, including everyone sitting in the back row, all stared at the Governor of Sail City with disbelief, as if they had heard something unbelievable. .

In their impression, they and their friends Clovis are the "saviors" who came to rescue the siege of Yangfan City from afar Pride is.

You must know that at the time of the initial discussion, the Confederates still discussed how to "weake" Sail City, split it into two city-states, or relocate a large number of populations to replenish the most damaged in the war, Grey Dove Castle and Black Reef Harbor... Or The leader of Grey Dove Castle, Polina, personally rejected the proposal, saying that "the core ideas of the Confederacy are equality and liberty", and then gave up.

Listening to the other party's tone, why does it feel as if the Confederate side is humiliating them?

In the awkward atmosphere, An Sen, who was sitting directly opposite the long table, had to cough lightly:

"The draft... After all, it's just a draft. It's just the attitude we want to express, and it can't be regarded as a final decision. If you have any ideas or requirements, you can put them forward for everyone to discuss and discuss."

"Then why are you sitting here since it is a meeting to discuss Sail City joining the Free Confederation?" The young knight was not polite at all:

"Ice Dragon Fjord has not joined the Confederacy. You, the commander of the garrison of Clovis, why do you participate in the high-level decision of the Confederacy - is the Free Confederation actually a vassal of Clovis?"

"shut up!"

"presumptuous!"

The suddenly changed faces of Long Lake Town Speaker Hollande and Red Hand Bay Speaker Chatham got up almost at the same time and blurted out directly.

"What, am I wrong?" Louis did not change his face, and glanced at the two of them coldly:

"I don't know much about the two of you, but just by reading the Clovis newspapers, I know that Red Hand Bay privately 'allied' with Beluga Port in order to attack Changhu Town first, and then Changhu Town even more It was breached by the Clovis army, and the council surrendered and survived... This is not a vassal?"

The expressions of Chatham and Hollande became extremely ugly in an instant, and their heads swelled to a pig's liver color under the gray hair... Except for Anson himself, the expressions of the remaining Confederate high-level officials became abnormal.

"Dear Sir Louis Bernard, you are right."

Paulina, who represented Grey Pigeon Castle, stood up slowly, with a trace of embarrassment in her eyes: "But there is one thing wrong, we are not vassals, we are traitors; in the eyes of the empire, we are all sinners. Dead traitor."

"Or the outcasts on the edge of the world, or being brutally exploited, or being ravaged by tyranny, or those who just want to get justice... We are helpless, there are still all kinds of estrangements between us, and we are humble enough to even send The messenger who went to lobby died tragically, and he didn’t dare to complain to the Empire!”

"And at our most helpless moment, who took the initiative to lend a helping hand?" The girl's words suddenly trembled a little more:

"Anson Bach... only him, only he is willing to help a girl who is wandering in the wilderness with only an old housekeeper and a young sister by her side, regardless of the consequences and rewards."

"I am sorry!"

Facing the girl in front of him, the suddenly flustered Louis looked ashamed: "I-I don't know..."

"In fact, aren't you even the same as Yangfan City?" Paulina also rudely steals:

"I don't understand the military, but I do know that if five thousand Clovis soldiers and six thousand Confederates hadn't run long distances and fought bravely under their commanders, we might still be in Sail City, but not in this hall. …”

"It's in the dungeon of the chief minister."

Speaking of which, the girl paused, but she was petite and could overlook the opposite Bernard Knight: "So about the question of 'Why Anson Bach can sit here', please don't mention it again; because it's not why, As long as the Confederacy lives on, he will always have his place here."

Scattered applause broke out in the hall, and the two speakers, who were originally sullen, hummed disdainfully and took their seats.

"If my rude remarks offended you, especially the esteemed Miss Paulina, please accept my apology." The young knight said in a sincere tone without any pretence:

"Equally I don't mean anything against Anson Bach, I just want to make a point - and that's a very wrong one."

"But even so, I still insist that the Federation must face up to the special value of Sail City and give it its due status." After the style of painting changed, Louis said solemnly again:

"Regardless of wealth, population, area, or level of development, Yangfan City is twice, three times, or even four times as large as the rest of the region! The significance to the Confederacy is not comparable to that of any other colony."

Hearing these words, the expressions of everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly changed again.

Although the other party was right, such a straightforward request obviously exceeded their psychological expectations.

"Then what kind of status does Yangfan City need?"

Raising his hand to stop Polina, who wanted to get up again, Anson said without changing his face: "You might as well say it, as long as it is a reasonable request, the Confederacy will not refuse it."

"This kind of thing can't be decided by me personally; just like your draft, it also needs to be discussed within Yangfan City." Louis said sternly:

"But I can assure you in my own name that no matter what, Sail City will definitely join the Free Confederation - even if it is not realized for various reasons in the end, we will become a part of the Imperial Rebellion Front and fight with you against any outside forces. interference!"

As soon as these remarks came out, the Confederate high-level officials who were not too happy immediately sighed in relief, showing a somewhat relieved expression.

The most worrying thing for them was that Yangfan City continued to collude with the Empire; as long as this was ensured, the rest were within the scope of negotiation.

Anson couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

This sentence is obviously aimed at himself... What is "any force from the outside world", except for the empire, isn't it Clovis?

Since the colony is to be freed from the control of the empire, then the Free Confederation is not allowed to become a vassal of Clovis again... He probably thinks so.

Good, it's very Louie.

"Well said, I also agree with this point of view." Anson, who still smiled, raised his head and looked at the young knight with very relaxed eyes:

"The only way to keep the Free Confederacy independent is to avoid the disputes of the old world as much as possible, to work on the development of the new world, and to settle relations with the native peoples - of course in business dealings with countries, but in politics At the military level, it is necessary to avoid being implicated by other countries.”

"Whether the Empire, Clovis, or the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea... Treating either side, the Free Confederation should strictly abide by neutrality and have no bias!"

Um?

The young knight showed a surprised expression, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

He originally thought that Anson would either avoid the important and deliberately avoid this topic; or reiterate the "special relationship" between Clovis and the Free Confederation, the two sides united against the Empire and so on...

But I didn't expect that I would agree to your request, right?

Looking at Louis, who looked like he had been petrified, Anson's expressionless mouth moved slightly, with a smile that was not a smile.

Really... if I don't form the Free Confederation, the colonies I conquer will definitely be handed over to Clovis.

Now the Confederacy is finally established~www.readwn.com~ In the end, I also handed her over to the mainland... Isn't the Free Confederation established in vain?

What a joke!

My dear Louis, you are indeed an honest man; you expect to win control of the Confederacy by cutting off external forces and competing fairly with yourself within the Confederate system?

You don't know yet, do you? All Confederate high-level officials except you, Grey Dove Castle and Long Lake Town are already vassals of the Storm Division, Red Hand Bay and Black Reef Harbor are already a community of interests of Beluga Harbor, and there is a storm in Winter Torch City. Division's military base.

The Faithful Alliance has become the only official religious organization in the Confederacy; the Rune family's industry and newspaper offices are spread across every corner from Grey Snow Town to Black Reef Harbor.

The senior management, the army, the media, the owners of the industry... all are my people, what are you fighting me for?

With a pretentious smile, Anson looked at Louis with incomparable sincerity: "So..."

"Excuse me, what else do you need?"
