Chapter 319: Crossbell submits
At the end of the year 1204, the civil war that swept through the entire Erebonian Empire ended. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The civil war began on October 30, 1204, when Gillias Osborne, the "Iron and Blooded Prime Minister", was shot, and ended on December 30, 1203, when the head of the rebels, Duke Kane, was captured alive by the noble son Lufas, and the full head of the "League of Nobles", and the return of Emperor Yukent III to the royal palace Balfrem Palace, which lasted for 2 months, which can be called the shortest civil war in history, but its scale is not small at all, and the trauma brought to the entire empire is also.
In the eyes of the historians of the aftermarket, this trauma is not worthless, because this civil war completely destroyed the vitality of the aristocracy and paved the way for the reform of the imperial system.
In the civil war, a variety of heroic deeds emerged, and a number of heroes who attracted worldwide attention were created - such as the core of the Eastern and Northern coalition forces, "One-Eyed" Sykes Fandel, "Red-haired" Olaf Craig, such as the two aces Mulla Fandel and Knighthar, who made great contributions to the front-line operations.
Among them, the most dazzling are naturally the two heroes who turned the tide of the civil war in one fell swoop - the "debauchery prince" Olibart Leezer Arnor and the "Gray Knight" Dawn Schwarzer.
Because of its efforts in the early stages of the Civil War and its outstanding contributions to the Northwest of the Empire, Red Wings was not sealed away as in the original Worldline, but became Oliebat's car, nominally owned by the Emperor, who accompanied him on his tours around the Empire to stabilize the situation.
It is worth mentioning that while cruising to a small town in the southwest of Sassalant, Olibat met the daughter of a local lord and began a vigorous love affair.
According to the entourage around the prince, the prince has brought his favorite object to meet the emperor and the queen, and both of them are very satisfied, and they will be officially engaged soon, which makes countless female fans of the prince and many women of school age who want to marry into the royal family sad.
(Olibat: "Do not be sad, O beautiful flowers, for I have come to comfort you.") ”)
(Aina Shera: "Olivier, come and drink with us, let's get two boxes first.") ”)
(Olibat trembles at the root of his teeth: "Got~got~")
Another teenage hero of the Empire, the legendary Grey Knight, is busier than Olibart.
On the day of the end of the civil war, he didn't even attend the celebration banquet and rushed to Crossbell on his own ship, "Joker", and directly landed in "Orchid Tower".
The first thing I did after landing was to convene a meeting of local acquaintances overnight, including Henry McDowell, the speaker of the Autonomous State Assembly, Sonia the commander of the garrison, Sergei Rowe, the real head of the police department, Guy Bannings, the head of the First Search Section, Arios Makein, the ace of the Guerrilla Association, and of course, all the members of the Special Mission Support Section, who were very important to Crossbell.
When everyone arrived, Lane placed two letters of appointment on the table.
One was issued by the Imperial Government, with the new representative of the aristocratic faction, Lufas El Barrea, as Governor of the Erebonian Empire of Crossbell. (Rianto Jusses and Lufas wanted.) )
The other was the Emperor's edict, with Lyne Schwarzer as a Marquis for Life and a fief of Crossbell.
And Lane's meaning is clear, let the people present who can decide Cross Bell's future make a choice.
Choosing the first one means pretending to surrender and resisting covertly.
Choosing the second copy means that you are sincerely obedient.
The civil strife in the empire has been decided, the vitality is greatly damaged, and it is urgent to recover, it is impossible to let go of the fat that Crossbell sent to his mouth, the difference is how to eat it.
The first is the fastest and most fierce eating, regardless of the feeling of fatty meat, just eat refreshingly.
The second type is more elegant, picking fat and thin, and killing fat does not eat thin.
If the first option is chosen, Rien will turn around and leave, and will not interfere in Crossbell's affairs again, as if he had not come. When we meet in the future, most of them will take opposite positions, and they will inevitably face each other with swords - and in line with what Lane has mentioned many times, maybe one day we will become enemies.
If it is the second type, then it will be attributed to Li En, and it will not be disobeyed.
In the name of Shu Huaze, Li En promised to give the citizens of Crossbell the same treatment as the citizens of the Empire, and there would be no more joint oppression by the two suzerains.
The people of the republic pierced and cut him, and the empire's own people pierced and cut him, and as a lord, Rien had the power and ability to deal with it. Even if the dignitaries from all walks of life violate the lord's order, Li En will be correct, and of course, it is estimated that there will be no new marquis who will not be in the limelight for a long time.
In addition, Lane promised to keep Cross Bell's original structure unchanged, just with a different brand.
Government is in the hands of Speaker McDowell.
The garrison was renamed the Condestinates, and Sonia continued to be in charge. However, the Tanggulam Gate, which borders the Republic, needs to be ceded and the regular army of the Empire will take over the defense. If necessary, Rien will also drive Valimar out of the country to cut down the Republic's troops.
The police station is still the police station, and the chief is Sergei, and the deputy chief is handed over to Guy.
The "Special Mission Support Section" is given a special function similar to "supervising the imperial history", supervising the entire territory of Crossbell, and once it encounters violations of law and discipline, it can be taken directly without going through the formalities, and the responsibility will be borne by Li En.
The conditions are not unfavorable, it is equivalent to a country within a country, and it can almost be regarded as an autonomous prefecture with a change of direction.
"So what does the empire get? What do you get? —Speaker McDowell asked.
"The empire wants the IBC and related interest groups to make up for the losses of the war, and the crimes of Dita and his supporters are unforgivable, it doesn't matter if their people die or not, but the property must go to the empire, and after digesting the accumulation of the Kurois family for thousands of years, the empire will become stronger."
"As for me, it is enough not to be hostile to you, and to fulfill Lixia's wish and the last duty of a guerrilla before leaving the Association."
It was only at this point that everyone remembered that Lane was a registered B-class guerrilla of the Society, and that nothing he had done had ever violated the Society's core purpose of protecting civilians.
Thinking of this, Arios was the first to express his support for Rie, and was able to adhere to the purpose of the association in such an environment, and Arios believed that there was no problem with Cross Bell handing it over to Rie.
With the first, there will be a second, and soon Randy, Theo, Varji, and others will speak out - these are not born locally, and there is no deep-rooted "independent" plot in which Crossbell is considered home.
In the end, it was left that Henry, Sonya, Sergei, Guy, Lloyd, and Ellie were all over the place.
In the end, it is a bumpy road to "independence" with no light in sight, or a comfort that is close at hand, whether it is to plunge the entire people into misery for the sake of ideals, or to let the people get the same equality and freedom as other sovereign countries that they dream of.
Eventually, after a day and night of tangle and bargaining, McDowell gave Lane the answer he wanted on behalf of everyone.
