The words on the agreement are purely a cover-up, and in fact there is no "sand bandit stolen goods" to be divided. The "10 million gold thalers" claimed by the Kingdom of Kolas are mainly paid by Mayer Rosenthal. Carefully calculating this account, it is not difficult to find that the income obtained during the eight years of cooperation between Mayer and Baron Hurd in the operation of the Mochizuki Mountain Gold Mine was not enough to pay compensation and ransom, in order to gain freedom, he had to smash the pot and sell iron and spend all his belongings, barely enough to scrape together the ransom money, and overnight he turned from a rich desert prince to a penniless beggar, and the desolation in his heart can be imagined.

The Far Eastern side promised to release Meyer on the day of receipt of the compensation, while the Canaanite side recognized the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Kolas over southern Xinjiang and recognized the ownership of the Mochizukiyama gold mine to the Far Eastern government. This super gold mine, with an annual output of no less than 50,000 pounds of gold, will provide a steady stream of liquidity for the economic construction of southern Xinjiang and even the entire kingdom of Koras.

2. Krasburg-Bethlehem Southern Railway artery

According to the cooperation agreement drafted by the two parties, the governments of the Far East and Canaan will jointly finance the construction of a passenger and freight railway connecting Mochizuki Castle with Medes. Considering that the Far East is building a southern railway line from Krasbourg to Mochizuki, and that Canaan already has a railway line extending from Bethlehem to Medes, it is expected that within two years a railway artery with a total length of nearly 4,000 miles from Krasburg to Bethlehem will be built - this huge megaproject is destined to go down in history.

3. Medes-Mochizuki Preferential Tariff Zone

Canaan and the Far East will establish a "preferential tariff zone" along the Medea-Mochizuki Railway, which will be tentatively valid for 10 years, and the two sides will commit to the following preferential benefits for trade within the zone:

Import tariffs on raw materials have been reduced by an average of 50%.

Import tariffs on manufactured goods were reduced by an average of 25%.

List of duty-free goods (limited to quotas): including but not limited to Pegasus (including saddles), cotton textile equipment, olive oil, wine, coffee, spices, medicinal herbs, precious stones and rare metals exported from Canaan to the Far East; Grain exported from the Far East to Canaan, new horse-drawn carriages, mercury mirrors, soaps, clocks, etc.

……

After the meeting, Roland got the memorandum of negotiation and reviewed it, and decided that there was no problem, so he used the "McManus facsimile technique" to send it to Krasbourg. In the afternoon of the same day, His Majesty Rudolph summoned a temporary meeting of the Cabinet to discuss the document, and His Majesty the King took the lead in setting the tone and expressing satisfaction with the outcome of the negotiations, although some concessions were made, but fortunately his own demands were mostly satisfied.

Industry Minister Zinovi was a little skeptical about the terms of the reduction of import tariffs, arguing that it would make the Far East's domestic manufacturing sector feel pressure from the south. But he also understands the truth that being born in sorrow and dying in peace is true, not to mention that the tariff cut is smaller than expected, and it will not have a devastating impact on the domestic manufacturing industry. Faced with competition for imported goods, local companies either catch up or lose out in the competition, and the good days of lying down and making money for the past two years are over, and the tide recedes to know who is swimming naked.

The Cabinet voted and Rudolf I signed and sealed, and the memorandum became legally valid and became a formal agreement.

Almost at the same time, His Majesty Joshua, who was far away in Bethlehem, convened his cabinet to discuss the same memorandum. Prime Minister Weinberg was optimistic about the outcome of the talks, and most of his ministers agreed that it was a good deal, not only to defuse the surging hostility of the Far Easterners towards Canaan due to the border conflict, but also to pry back the trade barriers erected by the kingdom of Koras.

The Marquis of Joshua was also in a good mood. This agreement once again proved the talent of Colophat, and after a turmoil, the partisans in Canaan died down and the atmosphere in the court of Bethlehem became harmonious.

There was no shortage of well-informed people in Bethlehem, and on the day the Marquis of Joshua signed the agreement, the city's stock exchange reacted quickly, with trade-related stocks and bonds rising across the board, and the trading floor filled the trading floor with ubiquitous optimism.

When the two kings' edicts reached Medes, the negotiating teams of the two countries were relieved to learn that the agreement had been signed, and at the celebratory dinner held that day, the diplomats, who were usually the most concerned with gentlemanly manners, drank and got drunk.

Marked by the Medoan Agreement, diplomatic relations between Canaan and the Kingdom of Kolas entered a honeymoon period.

In order to ensure that the terms of free trade were enforced, Colossa replaced the dismissed Mayer as temporary governor of Medes, and Roland will remain in Mochizuki Castle and is expected to return to Krasbourg at the end of December to prepare for the New Year's celebrations.

……

The Dawn airship set sail from Medes in the early morning of December 12 and returned to Mochizuki City at noon that day. These days, everyone in southern Xinjiang is eagerly watching the results of the negotiations, and they are looking forward to the promise of peace that Roland and his party can bring to everyone. When the airship returned to the sky over the city, the people of southern Xinjiang watched eagerly, following the airship to gather around the municipal square that temporarily served as a tarmac. When the gangway fell, the heroic figure of His Royal Highness the Prince appeared in people's sight, and the scene immediately erupted in tsunami-like applause.

In the face of the warm welcome of the people who welcomed him back, Roland couldn't help but be moved, and at the same time deeply gratified that this trip did not fail in its mission. Waving to the people, he used "amplification" to convey the good news that everyone had been waiting for for a long time to the ears of everyone present: "Dear compatriots, we have lived up to your expectations and brought back peace for you!" ”

The square, surrounded by tens of thousands of people, fell silent for a short time, and then erupted into thunderous cheers:

"Long live the kingdom of Koras!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live His Royal Highness the Prince!"

People danced excitedly, and countless hats were tossed high, like flocks of gray doves soaring in the sunny sky.

Successfully facilitating peace talks and unloading the heavy burden of the people of southern Xinjiang who had suffered from gains and losses, Roland won the respect of almost everyone in Mochizuki City, which had just returned to the embrace of the motherland, and was regarded as a hero worship, and his prestige was unprecedentedly high.

Roland knows that people's hearts are fickle, and the reputation of heroes also has a shelf life. He did not get carried away by the praise of the people, let alone allow himself to be intoxicated by the joy of success, and the top priority at the moment was to make full use of his prestige capital and use thunderbolt means to comprehensively implement the reform plan in southern Xinjiang.

Slavery is deeply rooted in southern Xinjiang and is regarded as a "tradition" by some vested interests. Roland was the first to take advantage of this bad habit. The fall of Baron Hurd's party effectively announced the decline of the local slave-owning class, and it was a good time to introduce the Abolition Act.
