Chapter 206: Imperial Pact (I)
Yes, garrison power, that is, the army of the Kyushu Empire can be stationed directly in the territory of Tiandou.
It seems that this is a soft colonial treaty, and it is impossible for any country to accept it, but the situation of Tiandou is different, the main royal knights owned by the imperial family are only stationed near Tiandou City and the four surrounding satellite cities, and there are about 400,000 ordinary knights with soul divisions, and the terms proposed by Miho Nishizumi clearly state that the Kyushu Imperial garrison will be at least 300 kilometers away from the actual control area of the imperial family, that is, establish camps in various kingdoms and provinces and settle down, and will not enter the imperial dominions.
Even if it was to protect Leng Xiyue's safety during his stay in Heaven Dou City, the number would not exceed a thousand.
At the same time, out of a sense of responsibility for the Imperial Army, they will take the initiative to carry out the work of suppressing bandits and fighting crime, reducing the pressure in various places.
In return for this clause, the Kyushu Empire was willing to mobilize industrial forces to arm about 200,000 mechanized troops for the imperial family with the condition that Tiandou provided materials, and provided it with a sufficient number of anti-soul division guns, rifles, and some armored vehicles and tanks on the basis of the new army.
Sounds great, right? These tanks look a little behind the Kyushu Empire's own tanks, not much different, but in fact, the core carbon coating will definitely not be provided.
The existence of carbon coating is the core secret of the Kyushu Empire, and it is directly colored as paint during production, except for Huangyan, the two ministers of armaments and industry of the cabinet know about it, and the carbon coating produced and transported from the Star Spirit Base of the Black Devil Valley is mixed into it as a paint material, everyone will only think that this is the effect of armor strength, who would have thought that the core material is paint?
In addition to providing equipment, the Kyushu Empire will also send excellent officers, in fact, it is a graduate of the military department of Kyushu College, who is in his early twenties, but the victory lies in the solid theory, and now the military aid group in Kyushu is to teach some systematic training methods, such as the military training content of walking a phalanx or something.
And these graduates can teach Tiandou the 'advanced' tactic of lining up to shoot them, and they are much stronger than cavalry charges.
Yes, mechanization does not play infantry coordination, but allows armored vehicles and infantry to stand side by side and play in line to shoot, which sounds very advanced, and it has to be tens of thousands of years ahead of the world.
Betraying the interests of the kingdom and various provinces to arm themselves, this kind of good thing Xue Ye did not refuse, 200,000 mechanized troops, if against Xingluo, then the combat effectiveness could not be more than a million conventional troops? Of course, this is not an exaggeration, if it is well coordinated with the original Soul Master Legion, this gap will only be even greater.
As for the minerals needed, there are many things in the world, and the minerals are even more abundant, so it is almost enough to contract out a few large ore veins.
Of course, such a huge investment and the simple garrison of troops obviously cannot be compared in the eyes of Xue Ye, so Leng Xiyue offered to obtain the right to garrison the coastal city and sell her the land and good ports on the west coast in order to build ships and build a navy.
Although Wuhun Hall once explicitly forbade the two empires not to establish a navy to march to the ocean after the Battle of Poseidon Island, the Kyushu Empire did not hear it, and if it was not heard, it was not.
Not to mention that it is impossible for Bibi Dong to restrict Leng Xiyue, even if the Hall of Elders bypasses Bibi Dong to exert pressure on this matter, she can say that she has built this kind of supership of tens of millions of tons to use for fishing, and it is impossible to care about fishing and selling money, right?
Tiandou is currently in a state of sea ban, and Tiandou also had a navy decades ago, but basically they are all wooden ships, and they are not small, but there is no artillery, and the level of naval warfare stays in the stage of collision or close combat similar to pirates.
To put it bluntly, this is also a chicken rib thing, Xue Ye didn't care about these terms at all, and wished that Leng Xiyue would take this to disgust the Martial Spirit Palace, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
In this way, the right to garrison and the ownership of the Tiandou Coast will be taken into Leng Xiyue's pocket, and you can directly find some good harbors along the Tiandou Coast to start the shipbuilding plan, plus the shipyard that has begun to be built in the north, with the help of the probe and the high-frequency transportation of the refractive prism, human beings only need to build the shipyard, and the specific shipbuilding process only needs to be handed over to the probe.
Three or four shipyards started construction at the same time, and I thought how seven or eight warships could be launched in five years.
In fact, with the current military strength of the Kyushu Empire, it is not enough to cover the Heaven Dou Empire, and this garrison power is actually to expand and rationalize the escort force of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and get some tanks or something to support the field, and the main part is to arm the coastal shipyard construction site.
If you want to enter the ocean, a simple army will definitely not do, and you must also carry out naval training in advance, and you can send a few divisions to help build and defend the shipyard from being infiltrated, and at the same time use the acquired Tiandou "fishing boats" to conduct naval training, so that they can adapt to the rhythm of the ocean in advance, first put an iron sheet on the wooden boat, add an engine, and then install artillery machine guns to prevent pirates, not to mention the ocean-going waters like Poseidon Island, it is by no means a problem to dominate the offshore islands.
If you can adapt to even a wooden battleship, then there is no reason why you can't adapt to a big steel ship.
After the military side is talked, the next step is the civilian side.
There are only two things in this civil matter, one is the imminent mob incident in Tiandou, and the other is how to carry out industrial cooperation.
From the Tiandou people to the Kyushu Empire, it is actually not a very profitable thing, after all, the Tiandou people and the Northland people are not a race, and there may be various contradictions arising from this, so it is also necessary to carry out the assimilation work for several years to ensure that the official household registration and identity are arranged after the ideological consciousness is sublimated, but it is very difficult.
Even so, even if there is no official status, the treatment is definitely much better than being a mule and horse in Tiandou.
The influx of a large number of Tiandou people can also alleviate the pressure on some people, at least jobs like farming can be handed over to these citizens during the internship period, so that the citizens of the Northland can be liberated to study and work in the city.
The problem is here, if all the people of Tiandou go to the north, who will plant Tiandou's own land? Who will dig the mines and the like?
The method given by Leng Xiyue is very simple and crude, that is, to buy it with money.
This purchase is not a direct purchase of good citizens who are like mules and horses, but a large-scale acquisition of all Tiandou's 'third-class citizens'.
These third-class citizens, to put it bluntly, are slaves who have almost no status, and mules and horses are at least free compared to them.
