Chapter 2748: Establishment of diplomatic relations (Ⅱ)

Her Royal Highness Audrey, who the Canaanite volunteers came to travel far and wide, was the "Captain Cavalry" in the Continental Army. Originally, this was just an honorary title. Except for a small guard, Audrey did not share the same A man commensurate with the rank of a colonel.
Audrey also knew that she was just a "vase" for propaganda in the eyes of the Continental Congress and the Continental Army's senior officials, and she was unwilling and helpless.
However, as the Canaan volunteers came to the New World one after another, Audrey's situation also changed.
General Vassar learned about Canaan's volunteers' request from the recruiter, but he didn't think much about it. He agreed to place these volunteers under Colonel Audrey's command under her direct command.
With the passage of time, the number of volunteers from Canaan increased day by day. By the spring of 1627 when the Kingdom of Canaan formally entered into an alliance with the Continental Congress, the total number of Canaan volunteers gathered under Audrey had reached 800, enough to form one. Strengthen the camp!
Audrey is very happy to receive the support of her hometown compatriots. She is actively training her soldiers every day and is confident to lead this army of soldiers to show their talents on the battlefield.
Volunteers from Canaan are mostly retired veterans with rich actual combat experience and well-trained. They are much better than the native officers and soldiers of the New World in all aspects. Their loyalty to the princess has reached the level of guarding the princess, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The army has become an elite force that cannot be ignored.
Now that the Canaan authorities formally form an alliance with the Continental Congress, it means that in the future they will definitely increase their support to the Continental Army. Motivated by this news, the number of volunteers rushing to the New World to join the army from Canaan will also usher in an explosive growth. .
It is conceivable that most of these volunteers will also ask to follow their idol Princess Audrey, and conservatively estimate that the total number exceeds 1,000.
From this moment on, the princess was no longer just a "vase" for the penholders of the Continental Congress to promote.
The soldiers from hometown used their hands to hold up a ladder leading to the historical stage. The Continental Army cavalry colonel Audrey Rosenthal Zion walked along this ladder to the center of the stage, and was walking towards his own glory. time.
On March 30, the Continental Congress voted with unprecedented efficiency and passed by an overwhelming majority the agreement to establish diplomatic relations and alliance with the Kingdom of Fijn and the Empire of Kolas.
That's right, it's just an overwhelming majority. It is not the unanimous vote that the public opinion generally expects. This means that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. There are voices opposing alliances within the Continental Congress.
In fact, a careful analysis of the contracting agreement reveals that the Continental Congress paid a heavy price for the support of the Far Easterners and Canaanites.
The first is to be forced to sign the "Free Trade and Navigation Agreement" with the two countries to open the country and allow commodities from the Far East and Canaan to carve up the domestic market.
Secondly, they were forced to hand over the controlling rights of the Great Demon Crystal Mine in the Taikoo Abyss. The Far Easterners took away 51% of the shares, and the Canaanites also got 30%, which was equivalent to giving up the most coveted piece of fat in the New World.
In addition, the governments of Canaan and the Far East also forced the Continental Congress to sign a supplementary agreement with the representatives of the indigenous peoples of the New World, publicly acknowledging the boundary line delineated by the 1622 Edict and the 1624 Restriction of Immigration Act, and abandoning the westward movement. Colonial expansion, support the indigenous people to establish a country and join the League of Nations system.
The Kolas Empire and the Kingdom of Canaan promised to guarantee the endorsement of this agreement. If necessary, the two countries will jointly form a peacekeeping force to be stationed in the Vimur Valley area where colonists and aboriginal conflicts frequently occur. Neither party may cross the border to provoke, and the cost of the garrison will be borne by both parties.
In response to this supplementary agreement, protests within the Continental Congress were particularly violent.
If you only look at the immediate benefits, the last supplementary agreement seems to be no big deal.
The Continental Army was beaten up by the real Fei, and he shrank in the Forge Valley and did not dare to move. The Continental Congress fled all the way south. Seeing that even his basic disk could not be kept, you can still worry about the three-point acre of the aborigines. Land? Have a good meal and support it!
However, this account cannot be calculated like that.
In the eyes of those "hawks" representatives who advocated active colonial expansion in the Continental Congress, in order to win foreign aid, they were forced to sign a free trade agreement and give up the sovereignty of the magic crystal mine. These sacrifices are worthwhile. As long as the War of Independence is won, The new republic has a firm foothold in this fertile land and will soon be able to make up for these losses.
However, once a supplementary agreement is signed to legally recognize the existing border between the colony and the aboriginals, the Wilnoa Republic, which inherited the colonial legal system, will lose the space to continue to expand westward in the future, and will be tightly confined to the West. On the narrow coastline to the east of Ernoa, at best, it can only become a regional power, but it can never grow into a world-class power that penetrates the eastern and western oceans and dominates the new continent.
It is out of long-term considerations that the hawk representatives of the Continental Congress strongly opposed the signing of this supplementary agreement aimed at stifling the country’s development potential and containing evil intentions. They severely criticized those short-sighted colleagues who are eager for quick success and quick gains, and even boasted that they would support the signing one day. I regret this traitorous agreement!
These hawkish representatives may be worthy of far-sighted and far-sighted evaluations. Unfortunately, only from the current situation, their views are unrealistic. They belong to a very small minority within the Continental Congress. No matter how loud the voice is during the discussion, in the end. The voting process is simply unable to reverse the trend.
After the voting result of the Continental Congress came out, the revolutionary camp was full of joy!
From Jotunheim to Midgard to Alfheim, all the supporters of the independence movement were ecstatic and finally saw the dawn of victory in the revolution!
When the Continental Congress formally announced that the alliance with the Kolas Empire and the Canaan Kingdom reached the Continental Army camp in the Forge Valley, George Vassar’s headquarters suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and the young officers burst into tears with excitement. Orbital.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it can be regarded as looking forward to this day!
The open support from Feizhen and the Far East opened a new page for the independence war in the New World, but this does not mean that victory is in sight.
As winter passes and spring comes, the ice and snow melt, and the New World is about to ignite smoke again. George Vassar and his Continental Army soldiers will experience more severe tests.
In fact, as early as the afternoon when he accompanied the emperor to listen to General Vigraf’s report on the status quo of the Continental Army, Qiao An vaguely guessed that the Far East Kolas government would soon form an alliance with the Continental Congress, and the result was not surprising.
As the details of the contract were disclosed by the "Motherland Daily", the official newspaper of the Far East Government, the direction of public opinion in Kolasburg has also changed.
