Chapter 1460: Southern Beacon (Ⅰ)

Elder Sigmund was satisfied with the conditions offered by Sir Nichols, plus the face of Logan and Lord Castis, and finally signed the cooperation agreement.
On the Asa nationality, Logan Walsinger recruited mercenaries who were solely responsible for training and command.
This Assassin mercenary with at least 1,000 recruits will join the Meadgarde regiment in the form of an "independent regiment" and be directly accountable to His Excellency the Governor, cooperating with Baron Laval’s legionary forces to resist Fiji. True intruder.
...
In addition to uniting the Assa people, Sir Nichols also proposed at the alliance meeting that the two Asean colonies of the New World-Midgard and Yalfheim-unite, politically, militarily and economically. Work closely to eliminate trade barriers between each other, form a unified army and command system, and conduct unified management so that the two major colonies in the north and south can complement each other and coordinate all resources to fight the aggressor.
John Norfolk, Governor of Alfheim, who came to Meadgard to attend the meeting, disagreed with Sir Nichols' initiative.
The Meadgard colony is bigger in terms of population, territory, military power and economic scale.
The governors of the two colonies are now at the same level, but if they form a "wartime coalition government" together, the relatively weak Sir Norfolk has to succumb to Sir Nichols and serve as his deputy.
Whether for the sake of maintaining personal honor or maintaining the relatively independent status of the Alfheim colony and avoiding becoming a vassal of the Midgard colony, John Norfolk could not accept this initiative by William Nichols .
The problem is that most of Sir Norfolk's considerations are out of selfishness. It's okay to think about it in private, but it's not good to say it in the meeting room, otherwise it will inevitably leave the impression of ignoring the overall situation.
After some entanglement, Sir Norfolk finally found a reasonable excuse to formally approve the wartime coalition government's approval from the Imperial Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor, and gently rejected Sir Nichols' "comprehensive union" proposal.
Although Sir Nichols’ intentions were not fully achieved, fortunately, Norfolk only resisted the union politically, and agreed with Sir Nichols’s initiative in military and trade, and agreed to cooperate fully with fellow citizens in the North.
In the agreement signed by both parties, Sir Norfolk pledged to give priority to the supplies of food, quilts and military horses that the Midgard military badly needed.
In return, the Alfheim military can also purchase advanced weapons, such as magic crystal rifles and magic crystal guns, which cannot be produced in the south, from Midgard, which is more developed in the military industry, at a more affordable price.
...
The day the victory of the joint meeting closed was exactly the day when Midgard University officially began its winter vacation.
Joan's life rhythm hasn't changed with the holiday, and he still spends all day in the school library or laboratory.
In addition to delving into spells or reading literature, Joanne has now developed a new habit of spending a few copper plates every morning when passing by a newsstand and buying a copy of the "Meadgard Tribune" to see the day. What news, especially about the war.
Since the Fijian Council passed a tough proposal in November last year, revealing the ambition of an armed invasion of Midgard, Joan has been worried, lest one day when he walks out of the house, he will see the Fijian soldiers in the streets.
However, the time has passed for more than three months. Feizhen has not seen any military action so far. It is reported in the newspaper that the previous proposal equivalent to declaring war was only passed in the lower house. After it was submitted to the upper house, it was intentionally shelved. , Has been delaying to refuse to make a decision.
This thing confused Joan!
What kind of country is Feizhen?
Why is the political system in this country so complicated?
Even if the parliament has more power than the king, it is divided into the lower house and the upper house (the noble house). Major resolutions such as declaring war against foreign countries must be passed by both houses and signed by the king before the bill can be formally formed.
In other words, the declaration of war passed only by the lower house has no legal effect, and it is currently only at the level of intimidation.
But this bill is not worthless, because the upper house has no right to dismiss the bill of the lower house, which can only be delayed for up to half a year, and it will eventually be released.
Judging from the delaying attitude of Feizhen's upper house, it seems that the noble lords of the upper house are more cautious about launching wars than the representatives of the public in the lower house, and they are even more reluctant to go to war with the sacred Ashan Empire.
Qiao An thinks that his brain is still smart, but the power of Feizhen is dispersed to a nearly schizophrenic political ecology, or he is so confused that he has to spend some time reading the historical documents of Feizhen's country and gain a deeper understanding of Fiji. The true national conditions clarify from the source why the Fijians form such a complex and mutually restrictive political system.
The most outstanding historians and political scientists in the contemporary era generally believe that the "constitutional monarchy" and "bicameral system" of the Fijians are the most advanced political system in the contemporary era. Joan admits that this view is reasonable, but he still feels that it is important. At the time of the incident, this decision-making method was too procrastinating and inefficient.
But to think about it from another angle, since scholars say that Fijians are the most "political" people in the Valais world, and have the world's most complete selection system for "political officers" and "affair officials," his layman looks at The disadvantages drawn are not counted?
It may be that for certain factors, some administrative efficiency has to be sacrificed.
Or speculate from the perspective of conspiracy theories, Fei Zhen's upper house and lower house actually have no contradictions, but they play a "double spring" in coordination with each other.
Members of the House of Commons reflected domestic public opinion, shouting, killing, and aggressive, creating an atmosphere where the table would be lifted immediately for war.
Members of the House of Lords played a rational, objective, and impartial role. While delaying the war, they also hinted to the imperial authorities: If you still refuse to make concessions in the negotiations, our radical claims on this side cannot be suppressed.
On the other hand, Fei Zhen's delay in taking military action may be related to the position of the Sea Blues.
Feizhen and Ocean Blue are far apart in the colonies of the New World. There is no direct conflict of interest, and there is a natural basis for alliances.
In fact, these two countries did indeed form an alliance aimed at dividing up the Empire's colonies in the New World.
The Fijians have territorial ambitions for Midgard, and the Aquamarians are eager to seize the fertile fertile soil of Yalfheim-this is more suitable for colonial settlement than the dry and barren land of Musberheim Gobi.
Feizhen did not march into Midgard for a long time, probably wanting to see whether the Battle of the Sea Blues in the south is going smoothly, and whether it can attract the Ashan Empire to send troops to the Alfheim region.
