Chapter 3113 "Colasberg Contract"
Sir Norfolk and his colleagues, including Franklin, Mrs. Josephine, Adams, and Jefferson, who negotiated on behalf of the Republic, certainly understood the demands of the domestic people, but out of diplomatic considerations, they finally agreed to the above terms.
In order to appease domestic public opinion, Congress has instructed major newspapers to make intentional or unintentional misinterpretations of the above clauses.
In short, although the agreement on paper is signed, how to implement it and whether it is implemented is another matter.
The Will Noah government will never use official power to publicly suppress the royalists, but if people from all states spontaneously unite to expose and liquidate the various crimes committed by the royalists in the war, the government will not be able to suppress the people Simple patriotic enthusiasm, is this the truth?
Article 6 of the "Colasburg Treaty" required the Republic of Wilnoa to recognize the border line drawn by the colonial period with the Asa natives in the west, which caused more intense resistance in the country.
Residents of the colonies, including manor owners, slave owners, and self-cultivators, are all eagerly looking forward to the end of the war. The new government will restart the westward colonization and pioneering movement, go to the vast western wilderness, enclose a piece of land, and cultivate and graze by themselves. Whether it is sold to subsequent investors after appreciation, it is an opportunity to make a fortune after all.
Indeed, who would leave his country and cross the ocean to seek a living in a desolate new land, if it were not for the possession of land?
Man and land are the main contradiction in the traditional economic model of this era.
One of the triggers for the outbreak of the War of Independence was that in order to avoid conflicts with the aborigines, the suzerain country made legislation prohibiting colonists from expanding westward.
After finally winning the war and getting rid of the shackles of the suzerain country on the colonists' necks, if they still can't go west to open up wasteland, then... the War of Independence will be in vain? !
This is absolutely unacceptable!
From south to north, land operators and investors from all over the Republic of Wilnoa protested one after another, strongly demanding Congress to reject Article 6 of the "Colas Agreement", and creating public opinion in the newspapers.
Of course, the public opinion circle is not without rational voices.
For example, Rebecca wrote a pamphlet under her pseudonym, pointing out that the victory of the War of Independence could not have been achieved without the great assistance of the Asa allies. Now that the war has just been won, some people will cross the river and demolish the bridges in an attempt to plunder the land of the allies. too mean.
The truth is this truth, but in front of those greedy faces, axiom and justice are nothing!
Uniting the Asa people during the war was only a last resort. Most of the colonists who boasted of being civilized looked down on the "barbaric" aborigines from the bottom of their hearts. Mind breaking promises and breaking promises.
In the final analysis, these white colonists never regarded the aborigines as equals, "using you is to look down on you", "don't know how to flatter you"!
The article written by Rebecca cannot be published by any mainstream newspaper in China because she speaks for the aborigines from a fair standpoint.
Friends of the "Leiden Post" also privately reminded her to pay attention to safety and never reveal that she was the author of that article, so as not to cause trouble.
Not long after, Rebecca’s own pamphlets were confiscated by the authorities, and Alexander Jefferson, chairman of the Alfheim Council, ordered the police to search for the author, forcing her to flee her hometown and go to Midgard City, where she Her father's former residence, the Hermitage Villa, sheltered from the limelight.
The good news is that Rebecca's article has won many supporters on Yunwang, and it has also prompted the Asa people to be vigilant and speed up the pace of independent nation building.
As a matter of fact, Article 6 of the "Colasberg Treaty" is not in the interest of both contracting parties.
This clause limits the prospects of the Republic of Wilnoa to expand its influence westward, and it has no strategic significance for the Kingdom of Feizhen. The reason why it appeared in the contract was completely forced into it by the Emperor Roland I of the Far East." smuggled goods".
The attitude of the Far Eastern authorities towards the War of Independence has always been subtle.
Although it provided a lot of assistance to the Continental Army during the war, it gave more help to the aborigines, including subsidizing Asa youths to study abroad, providing advanced weapons and equipment, and forming a modern army.
And after the war, also at the behest of the Emperor of the Far East, a team of thousands of elites from all walks of life was sent to the New World to teach the aborigines how to create an efficient government agency. , is also responsible for the exploration and development of natural resources in the territory, and the establishment of a complete agricultural, industrial and commercial system... Even the constitution of this soon-to-be-established country is handled by a team of jurists from the Far East.
The emperor of the Far East seems to want to transplant the effective political and economic system of his country to the New World, improve it according to the local resource endowment, and create a replica version of the "Far East Royal Court" tailored for the Asa people.
His Majesty the Emperor was so considerate that even the spiritual homeland of the aborigines of the New World had to intervene, instructing Valentina to incorporate the "Primitive Religion" and reorganize it into the northern branch of the "Ring of Harvest". The southern branch echoed each other, making the "Ring of Harvest" in fact the mainstream religion of the Asa tribes on the east coast of the New World.
In the future, if Valentina can successfully become a god, and the Asa people establish an independent country, the "Harvest Ring" will also be transformed into the "Harvest Order" and become the official church of this new country.
This was due to these far-sighted plans. Roland did not hesitate to use his political influence to persuade the negotiating parties to add a clause to protect the territorial rights of the aborigines in the "Contract of Colas Fort". The big family of the international community lays the groundwork.
The Emperor of the Far East is the most powerful politician in the world of Vares today. The Feizhen government is willing to sell him face, and by the way, he can also disgust the rampant rebels who have achieved success. The negotiators happily signed the agreement.
As for the Wilnoa Republic, although they were dissatisfied with His Majesty's partiality to the aborigines, they had to obey his will.
The victory of the independent revolution is inseparable from the strong support of the emperor of the Far East, and the economic lifeline of the government of the Republic - the ancient abyss magic crystal mining area - is in the hands of the people of the Far East, how can they not bow their heads under the eaves?
The contract was signed, but the bigwigs in Congress didn't take it too seriously.
Before the outbreak of the War of Independence, the colonial government had concluded more than one demarcation agreement with the aborigines, but in the end, they all became dead letters?
Back then, the Holy Asan Empire and the Fizen Kingdom, as the suzerains of the colonies, were unable to stop the ambitious colonists from westward expansion with decrees and laws, so what was the Emperor of the Far East!
