On 8 November 1984, Joseph's plane landed at Laayoune International Airport in Western Sahara, and because of security concerns, Smith, who had arrived first, arranged for a regiment of soldiers to protect Joseph.

In fact, this is also the first time Joseph has seen the Nord army outside the Royal Janissaries, although the combat effectiveness does not know who should be stronger and who is weak, but looking at the appearance and morale, it is obvious that the Nord defense army is stronger.

A few days ago, the President of the United States was re-elected, which means that the United States can spare energy to deal with the acquisition of Western Sahara by the Principality of Nord, and the fact that trouble has not yet come does not mean that the United States has given up on letting the Principality of Nord obtain Western Sahara in peace.

The international airport is some distance from the main city of Laayoune, and sitting in a bulletproof jeep, Joseph can clearly see the local residents and Arab and European immigrants with complicated eyes and confused eyes outside the window.

They stared at Joseph's convoy and knew what to think, but Joseph could probably guess that some of them wanted to kill themselves, others were looking forward to their own favors, and most of the rest were worried about the future.

Rumble!

At this moment, there was an explosion not far ahead, and the residents on both sides of the road fled in fright, and Joseph was also startled, but fortunately he had been prepared, so he stayed in the car very calmly and did not move.

Several light tanks quickly came around and surrounded Joseph's jeep, and helicopter gunships above also patrolled the surroundings looking for suspicious objects.

Just when Joseph was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw through the gap surrounded by tanks the scene of the Wehrmacht wantonly arresting and killing passers-by, and his anger flashed, but when he saw the colonel commander who came in a hurry, he suddenly held back what he wanted to say.

Heavy punishment is used in troubled times, although it is very likely that you will be burdened with the title of a tyrant and lose some popular support, but ...... Joseph could not make the people living in Western Sahara feel weak and deceitful.

In fact, the people who dared to stare at Joseph's motorcade were not ordinary people, they were either local mercenaries, wanted criminals from various countries, or some businessmen who came to Africa to sell arms, in short, there were almost no ordinary people.

Of course, there is no guarantee that all of them are innocent people, but for these people Joseph can only say sorry, a lot of excitement can be seen better than not.

"I'm fine, these ...... You can arrange it! ”

Joseph knew the purpose of the colonel's visit, so after explaining that he had nothing to do, he quickly handed over the work to the military to avoid repeating the next order himself.

Some words can't wait for the other party to speak, if things develop in a completely different direction as soon as they open their mouths, such as the current matter, Joseph will hand over the matter to the colonel without waiting for him to speak, and once there is a controversy in the media, he can say that he does not know, and he can push the colonel out at any time.

Cruel and ruthless? If he is in this position, he is still like something, then it is not far from Joseph's death, not to mention that the colonel himself may not be willing to bear this black cauldron.

Joseph naturally did not know what happened and did not ask about it, and after entering the city, he went straight to the Spanish governor's palace in Laayoune, which had always been the administrative center of Morocco in the Western Sahara region.

The Governor's Palace, which covers an area of about 2,000 square meters, is a four-story Western-style building, and a platoon of soldiers is already stationed here, so there is absolutely no problem with security. During the Wehrmacht salute, Joseph walked into the Governor's Palace, and Smith traveled to other cities to make the handover, so that the interim head of the area was actually a major general of the Wehrmacht.

"Your Majesty, now let's declare the First Army of National Defense to the outside world!"

Not everyone likes to do things under the title of mercenaries, Joseph didn't want to have no force in his hands, so he created these mercenary regiments, and now Western Sahara needs regular troops to be stationed, and their return to nature is inevitable.

"Yes, but those mercenary regiments should also be kept, and they may be useful in the future." It's good to be able to come back, and the rest doesn't matter, this is the psychology of the major general at this time.

To be precise, he was also the third major general of the Duchy of Nord, the first was the head of the Royal Janissary and the second was the head of the Guards.

As he spoke, Joseph had already roughly browsed the Doge's Palace, which had a different style than the Nord Palace, with the first floor being the hall, the servants' rooms, the kitchen, the wine cellar, the utility room, and so on.

The second floor is mainly an office place, mainly a study room and a conference room, followed by a few small rooms, I believe it should be a place where high-level servants or officials live!

The third floor is where the host and guests live, mainly the bedroom, followed by a small personal study, etc., and now that it is the new century, Joseph wants to add two fitness rooms and a swimming pool, although he will not live here very often.

Served by the remaining servants, Joseph sat on the sofa and took a sip of the red wine in the cellar, and asked the major general somewhat casually: "So, what is the real situation in Western Sahara now?" ”

"The situation is not very good, Your Majesty! Now there are protesters in all regions, and the more stable ones are European immigrants and Arab immigrants. ”

"Arab immigrants are also stable?"

"Not exactly, but the people who moved here after that were mainly Arab residents who had lived in the country for a while, and they were very worried about the future."

Of course, you need to worry, this was the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco before, although they did not bring any benefits to the Kingdom of Morocco, but after all, the officials are all Arabs, and they just need to make money with peace of mind and now they ...... This is also the reason for the stability of European immigrants.

"Your Majesty, I feel that our ordinance should be issued as soon as possible."

Herman's words made Joseph look at him, then put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What order?" Tell them how much cattle and sheep and how much grain they will subsidize each year, or promise to solve the problem of their work as soon as possible? ”

"I ...... at the beginning"

"That's what I promised Imam Almat at the beginning, but our treasury is not rich, and secondly, ...... No one told us that the situation here was so complicated. ”

Joseph's appearance of wanting to play tricks made Herman a little funny, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry that if he didn't deal with these things, then wouldn't the 3.5 billion euros be ......

Joseph naturally understood his concern, but he did not speak, but said to the commander of the First Army on the side: "Withdraw all the troops, we only need to ensure the safety of a few large cities." ”

When it came to safety, Joseph was very emphasized, as if he understood something, the major general of the First Army nodded clearly and turned away, and he didn't even mention the matter of the Ministry of Defense regulations.

It stands to reason that the First Army of National Defense does not belong to Joseph but to the Ministry of Defense, but the Ministry of Defense has been useless for a long time, and Joseph has already said that it is necessary to report to the Ministry of Defense again?

Herman also saw this, he was a member of the cabinet and naturally a part of the cabinet's benefits, and loyalty to Joseph had nothing to do with the cabinet and the seizure of imperial power, but he did not dare to speak at this time.
