In the living room of the Hermitage Manor, Qiao Ann listened to Mr. Adams's detailed account of the chaos in the Jotunheim colony, and naturally raised a question: How will this farce end?
Anyone who has a little understanding of current affairs can see that as long as Jotunheim and Midgard belong to two different suzerain states, cross-border anti-smuggling will encounter numerous obstacles and it is almost impossible to effectively combat cross-border smuggling. group.
This situation will continue. Sooner or later, the Jotunheim colony will break away from the control of the home country. Can the Feichen government accept this result?
The answer is probably no.
The ruling party of the Feizhen Parliament (Party of Order) must not suffer such humiliation during its term of office, otherwise it will provide a strong handle to the opposition party (PKR). The defeat or resignation is still light, and the
order
cannot be guaranteed. The "party" has been devastated and will no longer get the chance to come to power.
Whether it is to defend the dignity of Feizhen's "colonial empire" or out of partisan interests, Joan suspects that Feizhen's authorities will still try to strengthen the constraints on the Jotunheim colony.
In order to curb the separatist tendencies of the colonies, we can only reinforce the scalp and increase efforts to suppress tax-resistant people and arrest smugglers.
If it cannot be done, the next step is to throw the "black pot" on the Midgard and accuse the Midgard of colluding with smuggling syndicates to obstruct anti-smuggling operations.
If the situation really develops to that point, Qiao An feels that in order to divert the pressure, the Feizhen authorities will not rule out launching another aggressive war against Midgard under the banner of anti-smuggling.
Qiao An sincerely hopes that this will not happen.
At the party that night, Rebecca appeared very quiet and did not criticize Mr. Adams' political views and social activities in person as Qiao An feared.
After all, Jotunheim is a possession of another country. Joan has no good feelings for this northern neighbor who had invaded Midgard, nor is he interested in understanding the grievances between the Jotunheim and the overlord.
After the dinner, he left the Castis family and Mr. Adams, sent back to the simple research institute of the hot spring town dairy farm, immersed in the experimental data, and listed the outline of the thesis.
Professor Moriarty is still hesitant to publish the research results of vaccinia inoculation to prevent smallpox. Before the supervisor makes a decision, Qiao An must be prepared to publish the paper publicly.
This epoch-making and heavyweight achievement is only worthy of publication in Austrian Law Exploration.
It is the beginning of July, and only one month is left before the autumn issue of Austrian Law Exploration. Qiao An must complete the first draft of the paper and submit it to his supervisor for review and revision. Time is very tight and he has to work overtime.
Since wearing the "life-sustaining ring", Qiao Ann has been used to staying up late to work. It wasn't until dawn and the rooster crowed from the chicken coop next door to the ranch that he stretched his waist and planned to go to bed and get back to the cage.
Before going to bed, Qiao Ann habitually closed his eyes and meditated, linking to the "cloud network" to see what new news was available today, but was shocked by the news on the front page, and suddenly no sleep!
Just yesterday morning, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force Franz Engel led his troops to withdraw from the Olevi Fortress, via the Ulino Pass, to Komi province.
Soon afterwards, the Far East Army moved into the Olevi Fortress and occupied the last military stronghold of the empire in the Far East without a single soldier. The Kolas government has in fact controlled the entire Far East.
The fall of Olevi fortress means that the Ashen Empire launched its campaign to counter the insurgency in the spring of 1625. It suffered a total defeat in less than half a year. The question now is not whether the imperial military still has the ability to reclaim the vast east. Territory, but whether it can stop Kolas's army from pursuing victory and counterattack the empire homeland!
After a brief shock, Qiao An felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The brilliant victory of the Far East army on the battlefield has safeguarded the ruling foundation of the Kolas government.
It can now be asserted that the Kolas government is no longer the shaky grass team in people's eyes, and a vibrant country has been born.
The victory on the battlefield and the popular aspirations have injected unbreakable legitimacy into this rebellious regime. After the baptism of the war, the Kolas government has been reborn from the ashes and has become more powerful. It has been excluded from the Yashan Empire. It is only a matter of time before the international community accepts and establishes equal diplomatic relations with other countries.
The initiative on the battlefield was transferred to the hands of the Far Easterners, and the Kolas regime was free from the risk of collapse. Then Qiao An spent half of his net worth to purchase the Far Eastern government bonds and no longer had the risk of default and depreciation, and he could also benefit from the Far Eastern Revolutionary War. Dongfeng frequently made a small profit, and in hindsight, this investment was quite cost-effective!
After making money, Joan certainly has reasons to be happy.
However, when the empire suffered the consequences of this defeat, especially the great spiritual inspiration that the victory of the Far Easterners brought to the "separatists" in the empire's colonies, which prompted them to participate more actively in the colonial independence movement, Qiao Ann was happy. Woke up.
As a resident of the overseas colony of the Ashen Empire, although his sense of belonging to the distant and unfamiliar home country across the ocean is very weak, he cannot completely cut off.
In this war between the empire and the Far East, Qiao An's position is always more inclined to sympathize with the weak.
When the Imperial Expeditionary Army entered the Far East, it seemed morale was like a rainbow, suppressing the rebellion and regaining lost ground.
At that time Qiao An was very disgusted with the imperial government's arrogance and brutality. Coupled with the influence of Alfheim's tax resistance, he hoped that the people of the Far East could withstand the pressure and teach the imperial expeditionary army some lessons on the battlefield.
It was based on the above mentality that he took the risk of losing his money and bought the war bonds issued by the Far East government.
Now that the Far Easterners have the upper hand on the battlefield, the Ashen Empire is facing the most serious crisis since the founding of the nation. The independence movement of overseas colonies has intensified, and even the security of the homeland is difficult to ensure. Internal and external troubles are at stake.
Thinking that this ancient empire with a glorious history of more than 1,600 years is already fading away, and is sliding into the abyss of disintegration, Qiao An can't help but worry about the future of his motherland-although he himself can't say that this is a simple patriotic feeling, or just Pity for the loser.
When Qiao An was sympathetic to the people of the Far East, he could buy Far East Treasury bonds to practice his position, and now he turned to sympathize with the other side on the battlefield, but what can he do for his compatriots in his home country across the ocean?
Regrettably, the only thing he can do is to pray that the Far Eastern army will close when they see it, and not to counterattack the empire.
After cutting off the cloud network link, Qiao An meditated for half an hour, and finally put aside his chaotic thoughts and fell asleep.
