Tututat City, thousand Lake Republic.
This port city with a total area of more than 300 square kilometers is a territory directly under the sea tide.
The so-called "direct" means that every plant and tree in this land belongs to Renault.
From taxes to laws, everything is carried out according to the standards of the sea tide. The people of the thousand Lake Republic have no right to speak. Even without permission, the people of the thousand Lake Republic are not allowed to take a step in tutat.
Renault paid only 10000 guineas for the site.
In a way, it''s quite divisive.
However, as the supreme speaker of the parliament of the Republic and the real controller of this vast land, Renault''s bad behavior was tacitly ignored by the nobles of the parliament.
Naturally, the faction that supports the speaker has no opinion.
In fact, these people have long been used to monarchy. In their eyes, the title of "supreme speaker" is no different from that of "His Majesty the king".
A noble emperor is willing to pay 10000 jinnals to the State Treasury to buy a "small" piece of land that birds don''t shit on as a hereditary territory of the family. This kind of generosity is shocking.
The faction against Renault only dares to curse in private.
The speaker is a powerful man with numerous running dogs. Only a fool would denounce him.
Over the past two years, dozens of nobles have been ruthlessly deprived of their titles by the speaker under various pretexts and exiled to the distant sea tide collar, never leaving their hometown.
In addition, in the name of the parliament, the speaker forcibly bought the territory of the criminal aristocracy at a very low price, destroying the accumulation of these families for hundreds of years.
For this heinous atrocity, the aristocrats of the opposition dare to be angry.
Under such circumstances, who is not worried about being persecuted by the speaker and becoming the next miserable victim?
Therefore, all of us turn a blind eye to the lawless activities of a certain person.
……
The predecessor of tututat is a remote and extremely backward small fishing village.
After haichaoling took control of the area, construction began immediately.
Haichao chamber of Commerce has built a large-scale port, high-tech magic factories, and residential buildings made of reinforced concrete, making it a pearl in the south of the Republic.
One of the biggest characteristics of the city is that it has no walls.
Renault believes that the city wall is a kind of thing that costs a lot but has no effect. On the contrary, it will restrict the development of the city.
In the alien world, this is unimaginable.
Because a town without a city wall is like a little girl without a piece of body. She can only let the flesh of a mermaid. Robbers can come to plunder at any time, and wild animals can also intrude. Only a fool can settle here.
But tututat is different.
There are countless people who are willing to settle here, just like crucian carp crossing the river.
In just two years, this dilapidated small fishing village has changed into a large city with a total population of 350000.
If it had not been for the local political office to deliberately restrict the influx of population, so as to ensure that the industrial scale matches the population, the population would have expanded to 400000 or even 500000.
Tututat city and Chaka town in the north, no, it should be called Chaka city now, which became two sharp steel nails that Renault nailed into the Republic.
The two cities, South and North, are like two giant hands, firmly controlling the economy and military affairs of the Republic.
A large number of factories here have become the most attractive commodity market in the Republic of China, and the market share of many factories in the South has become more than half of that in the Republic of China.
Another example is chestnuts. From the military airport on the outskirts of the city, the magic fighter formation can fly over any town in the south in three hours, and burn the town to the white ground with unbearable incendiary bombs.
In addition, the southern legion of the famous Republic was stationed outside tututat.
This magic mechanical legion with more than 5000 soldiers, which was only established for more than one year, can arrive outside any southern town in three days and completely destroy or control the town with irresistible force.
Similarly, the southern fleet, based in tututat military harbor, closely monitored the coastline of the Republic, and even a small sampan could not go to sea if the Navy wanted to.
It is this powerful military and economic force that has suppressed all the opposition parties of the Republic and forced them to be honest. No one has the courage to think ill.
The most wonderful thing is that the parliament of the people''s Republic of China still needs to pay a "protection fee" of millions of jinnals to haichaoling every year as national defense expenditure.
This expenditure is not fixed and will fluctuate up and down according to the actual situation.It includes the following parts.
The first is a basic expenditure of up to 2.5 million guineas.
This is the salary, bonus and welfare expenses of the army, as well as the depreciation of weapons and equipment and military facilities.
This expenditure is fixed and will be discussed collectively by the Legislative Yuan every three years, and the specific amount will be determined again according to the change of price level.
Of course, according to master Lei''s rules, the basic expenditure can only be increased, not reduced.
The second is floating expenditure.
It includes, but is not limited to, war, military exercises in the spring and autumn, and daily training expenses, and the amount of which fluctuates between 1.5 million and 5 million guineas.
If the scale of the war is huge and the duration is extremely long, it is not impossible to soar to 10 million guineas.
In other words, the Republic of Qianhu pays for all the expenses of the army, and Renault does not need to pay a copper coin.
As for the troops of the former Qianhu Kingdom, they were cut down on a large scale, from nearly 200000 to less than 10000, which turned into furnishings.
I have to admit, this kind of thing is very funny.
It''s like that the villagers of a certain village not only have to endure the daily oppression of the village bully, but also have to pay a big reward to the bully for his hard work.
Last year, when the speaker delivered his "Mid Year speech" at the parliament headquarters in the Hague fort, he once said a very impressive sentence to all noble members:
"truth is within the range of the magic gas gun!"
The current situation of Qianhu Republic is the most direct and appropriate explanation of this sentence.
……
Tututat military port.
"My God, how did the military port become like this?"
Gonzalez, a man with extraordinary water system, leaned against the side of the twin tower, looked at the wharf full of seaweed, seaweed and garbage, and said in surprise.
"Sir, although you are a navy, you don''t seem to care about the information on the warship." Lieutenant Andreas said with a smile, "when I was talking with a signalman yesterday, I heard him mention that seaweed attacked the southern coast of thousand Lake Republic two days ago."
"It doesn''t look like it''s sparing tututat Well, over there, many shrubs have been uprooted Tut Tut, this storm is really big. It''s estimated that the loss is quite big... "
Gonzalez''s focus was obviously different. He asked curiously:
"Lieutenant, does" seaweed "mean the name of the storm? Why name the storm? "
"This is the order of your Lord in the harvest month of this year." Lieutenant Andreas replied, "Lord, it''s easier to distinguish each storm by a code, and it''s more convenient for daily communication."
"You can imagine that when you talk about storms, it''s more convenient to use descriptions like ''this storm'' and ''that storm'', or names like ''seaweed'' and ''Biscuit''..."
"It makes sense to call it a storm." Gonzalez was suddenly surprised.
IGOs did not speak, he just quietly looked at the nearer pier, his eyes became very complex.
After two years, he finally returned to the kingdom of thousand lakes, no, the Republic of thousand lakes.
Although it wasn''t too long to leave, igors felt like a lifetime.
When he lived in Copernicus at the beginning, he lived a miserable life, but in the tide collar, he suddenly lived a very rich life, and with the passage of time, his life became more and more prosperous.
He also saw a lot of unimaginable things and witnessed with his own eyes that the island city gradually transformed into a legendary paradise.
Now, in the eyes of IGOs, his hometown is more like a symbol of some kind of emotion. If he is allowed to return to Copernicus, he is determined not to.
Missing is better than missing.
Next to the three, a large number of sailors gathered on the deck, pointing to the distant city, talking excitedly.
After wandering in the ocean for so long, they can''t wait to set foot on the land and have a good rest.
Yes, it''s just a simple rest.
Go to the pub and have fun. No one dares to think about it, let alone do it.
The sea tide is very strict in leading and governing the army. If the active servicemen dare to mess around, they will be driven out of the army and go to the hard labor camp to do heavy work every day. You are lucky to survive, and you deserve to die.
However, at this time, the warship suddenly a slight shock, speed greatly reduced.
Then, the horn on the upper deck suddenly sounded:
"everyone, this is captain Ludford. I have just received an order from the commander of the southern fleet, Colonel Camacho."
"Due to the storm seaweed, the southern coastal areas of the Republic were severely affected, and some places even suffered from seawater flooding."
"According to Colonel Camacho''s request, the twin towers must now go to Hilton town to rescue the local victims Hilton town is about 80 kilometers south of tututat port... "After hearing these words, the sailors couldn''t help sighing.
"I order that all personnel return to their posts immediately Repeat, please return to your post immediately... " The sound continued to come from the loudspeaker.
Although slightly dissatisfied, the well-trained sailors faithfully carried out the order. A group of people were running fast on the deck, and the officers were constantly urging.
"Guys, speed up..."
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
IGOs and lieutenant Andreas looked at each other and hurried to the cabin.
This rescue operation, it is estimated that two people can not escape.
