164 Unable to go on an expedition
Not surprisingly, the city council ended with a bruised and swollen face of many councillors.
The radicals, as always, held high the banner of federal glory and clamored to take the initiative, while the Shang family, the actual controller of Portu City, sat firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, even if Shang Cuai, the chairman of the municipal committee, was beaten out of the eye, he resolutely refused to give up half a step!
Of course, the Shang family was able to be so determined not to send troops to the battle, mainly because of the silence from the military in Portu City.
Originally, the military of Portu City also planned to support the Reece City Colonial District, but after learning of the rapid fall of the Reece City Colonial District and the fierce fighting style of the Blue Army, they became silent......
Although there was no open opposition to the sending of troops, the silence of the military at such a critical moment was the greatest support for the Portusan family!
Without the pressure of the military, the radicals led by Dolgon would not send a single soldier to the sky.
Don't look at the radicals led by Dolgon, who are eager to sacrifice their lives for the glory of the Federation, in fact, they are a group of political mouthpieces, if it is their turn to go to the front, they are guaranteed to shrink faster than the other......
Of course, it is also normal for Dorgon's radicals to have this style, most of the people who have not held real power throughout the ages are the mouth cannon party, anyway, they are not the executors, and they don't have a backache when they sit and talk......
The official word has two mouths, and the upper lip touches the lower lip and shouts slogans, these politicians do better than anyone else!
Anyway, for Dolgon, whether or not Potu City sends troops is not the most important thing, and using this rebellion of the Blue Army to raise their political image is the key!
Being so troubled by Dorgon's radicals, even the small traders in Portu City knew about the Shang family's instigation in the face of the Blue Army......
Dolgon's radicals are not just putting on an all-out military parade at the city council (with an up-to-the-sole) fight, their members are all nobles, and each family has a certain amount of influence, so naturally they can send people around the city of Portu to preach the so-called federal glory, and incidentally criticize the inaction of the mayor and the chairman of the municipal council of the Shang family!
In the federal local government, the power of the municipal council is greater than that of the mayor, because the municipal council has legislative power, while the mayor only has executive power, and the executive power is supervised by the municipal council!
The legislative power is very strong in any era, and although the legislation of local cities is only the ordinary local civil law, it can also effectively limit the power of the mayor, so the municipal council in the city is the real supreme authority.
Of course, in this country ruled by the aristocracy, there are exceptions to everything, if the mayor is a nobleman with real power, he is fully capable of competing with the municipal committee, like Botu City, even the chairman of the municipal committee is a member of the Shang family, and the entire Potu City has become the Shang family's own land......
The radical faction led by Dorgon is more like an 'opposition party'......
This is not an exaggeration, in the Obarro colony, thousands of miles away from the mainland, the municipal council is like a small country, and if everything is waiting for the local order, it will be too late to do anything!
The rights of the Commonwealth's overseas colonies have always been much higher than those of the mainland.
In the end, the city of Portu only sent the federal O'Barro Colonial Fleet to blockade the port and coastline of Reese City, and did not make any other military moves.
Now that there is only one city left in the Obaro Colonial District, the Obaro Colony Fleet naturally only needs to negotiate with the city government of Porto.
Although the Obaro Colonial Fleet is an independent military organization, most of the supplies needed along the coast of the Obaro continent come from the city of Porto, and it is natural that it will be influenced by the Shang family of Porto.
During this time, the expansion of the Blue Coats in the colonial district of Reece City is unstoppable!
Despite the fact that the Colonial Area of Rees City is not highly developed, but the area is very large, in fact, the Colonial District of Rees City and the Colonial Area of Portu City were the Portuguese kingdoms established by the chaotic humans on the Iliban Peninsula.
The cities of Rees and Portu were the capitals and largest economic cities of the Kingdom of Portugal that were destroyed by the Purple Dragon Federation.
In this way, the Kingdom of Portugal became a Portuguese region......
However, although the Chaos Humans were defeated and destroyed, the various demonic creatures raised by the Chaos Humans in Portugal were not wiped out, and ninety percent of them absconded into the Devil's Mountain Range, using the complex terrain to block the slaughter of the human army.
The other 10 percent live in barren lands that the Federation does not look down on.
As a result, there are only two ways to get to Porto.
One is to cross the Devil's Mountains, and the other is to take a long journey overland, crossing a large uninhabited wilderness to drive to the city of Porto.
It seems that the second path is more feasible, but the large area of the emperor without people is very barren, and the supply of the army is basically completely dependent on the supply from the rear, if it is a small force, it is okay, as long as the number of people is less than 5 figures, it will definitely be dragged down by the logistics work!
Obviously, Wang Ziming did not have the ability to rely on a few thousand French line infantry to capture the colonial area of Porto......
This is also the reason why the city government of Portu City is firmly seated in the Diaoyutai platform.
The two colonial districts were originally divided, otherwise there would be no need to establish two colonial governments, the federal army was able to attack Reece City because of the convenience of shipping, and the military of Portu City never thought of driving to Reece City from the land!
It's not Union itself, it's full of fertile rice paddies!
Therefore, Wang Ziming's original plan was only to occupy the colonial area of Reece City first, and without a navy, he was simply unable to attack the colonial area of Portu City from land.
There are fewer people who go to deliver food, and the combat effectiveness of the federal army is much stronger than that of the French line infantry, and they are professional armies with complete infantry and cavalry!
Moreover, judging from the will to fight of the 1st Infantry Division of O'Barro, although the morale of the Union army is not as good as that of the French line infantry who are not afraid of death, it is not much worse, and without the advantage in strength, it is likely that it will not even be able to touch the edge of the Union army......
As for sending a large army to Portu City, it is even more nonsense, and now that Wang Ziming has not even found a long-term meal ticket for his army of more than a million people, how can he support a long-distance expedition?
When the French line infantry was methodically 'receiving' the colonial area of Ree, Wang Ziming met Angela, the boss of the Axe Gang, the head snake of Rees City.
Subsequently, Wang Ziming spent a wonderful night during the negotiation process, and the object was naturally not Angela, a married woman, but Angela's specially selected, pure girl!
It's still the trained kind!
Wang Ziming swore that this was his coming to this world...... Oh no, it should be the best night including his previous life!
Not one of them!
