Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

In fact, when the outcome of the Hestia War came out, the discussion on the post-war arrangements began. The envoys of various countries in the Protestant Alliance frequently visited each other, put forward their own demands, and were eager to get their own interests.

For Lion Port, its original purpose of joining the war was to defend its land, property and the lives of expatriates in Horn Bay. The biggest demand arising from this was that there should be no forces hostile to Lion Port in Horn Bay in the future. There is no doubt that it is an effective method to support a "friendly" ruler in Collins, the first inland power.

The situation of this war was changed by Lion Port. When the Protestant Alliance was about to lose, it was Lion Port that joined the Protestant Alliance and quickly reversed the balance of victory. It can be said that without Lion Port, there would be no victory in this war. The coastal Horn Bay countries would be ravaged by the Horn Bay Church and the Guardian Army.

The combat effectiveness shown by the volunteers in Horn Bay in the war, as well as the wealth behind it that can support this combat effectiveness, made the countries look at it with admiration. In fact, as people of the Horn Bay who make a living from maritime trade, no one would think that the Northwest Bay is poor in wealth at this time.

For various reasons, everyone respects the interests of Lion Port and unanimously agrees that the future ruler of Collins should be arranged by Lion Port. Of course, everyone knows that it is actually following the arrangement of the Lake Town behind Lion Port.

For the Horn Bay Alliance, in addition to a large amount of compensation, they also want to move the seat of the Horn Bay Church to Niceburg, and the new Archbishop of Horn Bay will be decided by the Alliance.

The interests of the Horn Bay Alliance have caused some dissatisfaction, especially the selection of the Archbishop of Horn Bay. Everyone knows that this is a weapon to control thoughts. If Niceburg is allowed to designate, wouldn’t everyone in Horn Bay have to follow the lead of the Horn Bay Alliance in the future?

If the Horn Bay Alliance could resist the attack of the Guardians and push back, it would be no problem for other countries to recognize its interests with its status as the strongest country in the Protestant Alliance. However, the Horn Bay Alliance was almost destroyed by the Guardians in the war. Thanks to the rescue of Lion Port, it was able to restore its territory.

Due to the poor performance of the alliance in the war, many countries were dissatisfied and disagreed with the above demands.

Just as the quarrel was going on, Lister, the mayor of Lion Harbor, came out to mediate. After some efforts, all stakeholders took a step back and reached a new agreement:

The seat of the Horn Bay Church will still be moved to Niceburg, but the candidate for the Archbishop of Horn Bay must be voted by senior priests from various countries, and the heads of each parish will be appointed and dismissed by the country where they are located. At the same time, the new Horn Bay Church must abolish the tithe. Everyone can share a sum of money for the church to maintain itself, but the use of this money must be public and transparent and subject to the review of each investor.

Another important country in the Protestant Alliance is the Principality of Eaton. The request made by Grand Duke Cabray is quite romantic. He only wants a small compensation to be used to compensate the fallen officers and soldiers, which is enough, but he hopes that all Horn Bay countries will recognize the existence of spellcasters and ensure that they have the same rights as normal people.

When they heard that someone had taken the initiative to ask for less money, everyone was very happy and agreed to the arrangement of the Grand Duke of Cabray for the spellcaster. In fact, more than 90% of the countries in the Protestant Alliance have recognized that spellcasters have the same rights as ordinary people. The next step is to let those inland countries recognize it. Fortunately, they are the losing party, so they have to recognize it even if they don’t want to.

As for other countries, they are basically small city-states, and their demands are very realistic, that is, to get as much money as possible from the compensation.

When Lister entered the city of Collins and showed the post-war treaty signed and recognized by representatives of various countries to the generals, he could do whatever he wanted.

The purpose of Lister's coming was to select a new king of Collins. For this purpose, he did a lot of work and studied the historical context of the country of Collins in detail, as well as all the information he could get on the secular power holders.

After choosing and choosing, Lister finally chose Earl Bridges, the one who had hosted him a long time ago.

When Lister was still a businessman, he realized that Earl Bridges was not a principled person. This earl could talk to him happily and could avoid talking about different religious ideas for the sake of practical interests. The most important thing was that Earl Bridges had a good personal relationship with Lister himself.

He decided that it was him. Bridges officially ascended the throne of Collins with the support of Lion Harbor, and more than 40,000 Protestant troops stationed in the city endorsed His Majesty the King.

When the news reached the prison, Garrett III, the former King of Collins who was in custody, almost went crazy.

When Collins fell, he wanted to disguise himself and escape secretly, but unfortunately he was discovered.

The identity of the king was still very deterrent to the soldiers of this era. Garrett III, one of the most important initiators of the Gulf War, was not treated harshly, but was only imprisoned and waited for the disposal of the high-level guards of the church.

He banged on the door, demanding to go out and see Lister, shouting that he could give whatever Bridges could give, so why shouldn't he continue to rule his country.

Whenever Garrett III banged on the door desperately, Webster, who was also imprisoned not far away, laughed at him fiercely.

"What a wishful thinking!"

"You are already a waste, how will those heretics treat waste?"

Webster had organized defense on the city wall, but unfortunately, the artillery of the Arda army made any defense skills he had summed up from the long history useless. When the city wall was blasted open by the brutal force, even Webster could no longer save the situation.

He wanted to kill himself with a knife, but was stopped by his subordinates. Just when they were arguing, the soldiers of the Protestant Army rushed up and Webster became a prisoner.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

The treatment of Webster was also decided-let him lead a group of captives from the Vatican reinforcements back to the Holy City.

Considering that the Vatican still has strong strength, this is also a means to show goodwill to the Vatican.

Not long after, Webster and his subordinates were released, and they rowed the paddle boats they brought across the ocean and returned to the Vatican headquarters.

The return of this group of people made the Church very happy, because they were planning a new war. Webster and his men had rich experience in war and could play a huge role in the upcoming war.

This new war was a punishment war against the Gabela Empire.
