Chapter 2748 Establishing Diplomatic Relations (Ⅱ)

Her Royal Highness Audrey, who had traveled thousands of miles from the Canaan volunteers, was the "Cavalry Colonel" in the Continental Army. Originally, this was just an honorary title. Except for a small guard, Audrey's subordinates did not share any A man worthy of the rank of colonel.

Audrey also knew that in the eyes of the Continental Congress and the Continental Army's senior officials, she was just a "vase" for publicity, and she felt unwilling and helpless.

However, as Canaan volunteers came to the New World one after another, Audrey's situation also changed.

General Vasa learned about the request of the Canaan volunteers from the conscription officer, and he didn't think much about it while being moved. He agreed to put these volunteers under the command of Colonel Audrey, and she would directly command them.

As time went by, the number of volunteers from Canaan increased day by day. In the spring of 1627, when the Kingdom of Canaan officially signed an alliance with the Continental Congress, the total number of Canaan volunteers gathered under Audrey’s command reached 800, enough to form a Strengthen the battalion!

Audrey is very happy to have the support of her compatriots in her hometown, she is actively training every day, and she is confident that she will lead this army to show their talents on the battlefield.

The volunteers from Canaan are mostly retired veterans with rich actual combat experience and well-trained. They are much better than the local officers and soldiers in the New World in all aspects. The army has become an elite force that cannot be ignored.

Now that the Canaan authorities have officially formed an alliance with the Continental Congress, it means that they will definitely increase their support for the Continental Army in the future. Inspired by this news, the number of volunteers who rushed from Canaan to the New World to join the army will usher in an explosive growth. .

It is conceivable that most of these volunteers will also ask to follow their idol, Princess Audrey. It is conservatively estimated that the total number will exceed a thousand.

From this moment on, Her Royal Highness the Princess is no longer just a "vase" for publicity by penholders of the Continental Congress.

Soldiers from their hometown hold up a ladder leading to the stage of history with their hands. Colonel Audrey Rosenthal Zion of the Continental Cavalry walks along this ladder to the center of the stage, and is walking towards his own glory time.

On March 30, the Continental Congress voted with unprecedented efficiency, and overwhelmingly passed the agreement to establish diplomatic relations and alliances with the Kingdom of Canaan and the Kolas Empire.

That's right, it's just an overwhelming majority, not the unanimous approval that the public opinion circles generally expect. This means that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and there are voices opposing the alliance within the Continental Congress.

In fact, a careful analysis of the treaty agreement reveals that the Continental Congress paid a heavy price for the support of the Far Easterners and Canaanites.

First of all, it was forced to sign the "Free Trade and Navigation Agreement" with the two countries, which opened the country's doors and allowed goods from the Far East and Canaan to carve up the domestic market.

Secondly, they were forced to hand over the controlling stake in the super ancient abyss super magic crystal mining area. The Far Easterners took 51% of the shares, and the Canaanites also got 30%.

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 aborigines of the New World, publicly recognizing the boundaries delineated by the "Edict of 1622" and the "Restriction of Immigration Act of 1624" and abandoning the westward march. Colonial expansion, supporting native nation building and joining the League of Nations system.

The Kolas Empire and the Kingdom of Canaan promise to endorse this agreement. If necessary, the two countries will jointly form a peacekeeping force to be stationed in the Vymur Valley, where conflicts between colonists and aborigines frequently occur, to ensure that Both parties are not allowed to cross the border to provoke, and the cost of stationing troops will also be borne by both parties.

Protests within the Continental Congress were particularly violent against this supplementary agreement.

If you only look at the gains and losses in front of you, the last supplementary agreement seems to be no big deal.

The Continental Army was beaten to the bum by Master Fei. They huddled in the forging valley and dared not move. land? Let's eat enough!

However, this account cannot be calculated in this way.

In the eyes of the "hawks" representatives in the Continental Congress who advocated active colonial expansion, 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 nascent republic, firmly established in this fertile land, will soon make up for these losses.

However, once a supplementary agreement is signed to legally recognize the existing border between the colony and the aborigines, the Republic of Wilnoa, which inherited the colonial legal system, will lose the space to continue expanding westward in the future, and will be strictly limited to On the narrow coastline in the east of Ernoia, it can only become a regional power at best, but it will never grow into a world-class power that runs through the eastern and western oceans and dominates the new continent.

It is precisely out of long-term considerations that the hawkish representatives of the Continental Congress strongly opposed the signing of this supplementary agreement aimed at stifling the development potential of their own country and harboring evil intentions. I regret this traitorous agreement!

These hawkish representatives may be worthy of far-sighted and far-sighted evaluations. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, their views are unrealistic. They belong to a very small minority in the Continental Congress. During the voting session, there was absolutely no power to reverse the general trend.

After the results of the vote in the Continental Congress came out, the revolutionary camp was full of joy!

From Jotunheim to Midgard, and then to Yalfheim, all the supporters of the independence movement were ecstatic, and finally saw the dawn of the victory of the revolution!

When the news of the Continental Congress formally announcing the alliance with the Kolas Empire and the Kingdom of Canaan reached the Continental Army camp in Forge Valley, George Vasa's headquarters suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and the young officers burst into tears. orbital.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it can be regarded as looking forward to this day!

The public support from Canaan and the Far East opened a new page for the War of Independence in the New World, but this did not mean that victory was at hand.

As winter turns to spring, the ice and snow melt, and the New World is about to ignite gunpowder again. George Vassar and his soldiers in the Continental Army will also experience more severe tests.

In fact, as early as the afternoon when he accompanied His Majesty the Emperor to listen to General Viglaf's report on the current situation of the Continental Army, Joan vaguely guessed that the Kolas government in the Far East would formally conclude an alliance with the "Continental Congress" soon, and the result was as expected.

As the details of the contract were revealed by the "Motherland Daily"-the official newspaper of the Far East government-the wind of public opinion in Korrasberg also changed.
