The Principality of Auckland and the Principality of West Asia are both principalities that Meng Han started to conquer before anything happened. The Principality of Naga had already been captured by the Principality of Trans before Meng Han went to the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness, but it never attacked the Principality of Auckland.
Start with the Principality of West Asia.
Annexing a principality is not that simple. Even after the annexation on the surface, there are still many follow-up matters that need to be dealt with. Domestic and foreign, nobles and civilians, military officials, territories and salaries, people's livelihood and territory, there are so many things that can make Catherine
Busy feet never touch the ground.
Fortunately, Catherine had trained enough confidants and officials some time ago, so that she was not so busy after taking over the Naga Principality, and was able to quickly stabilize the situation and quickly take control of the Naga Principality.
.
Among them, in order to stabilize the minds of a large number of nobles, Catherine even pardoned Marquis Anthony's crimes and gave him the same treatment as a marquis. Except for the Grand Duke, others could forget the past as long as they were loyal to Catherine. This move allowed him to
The entire aristocratic circle of the Naga Principality is very welcoming. Except for some benefits, there is not much trouble.
Moreover, with the troops of the Principality of Trans pressing on the border and the people under the low eaves, the Principality of Naga had to accept all this seemingly calmly. All the armies were dispersed and reorganized, and then several policies that could quickly improve the living standards of the civilians were implemented.
The people who had just recovered from the war immediately became devoted supporters of Archduke Catherine.
After calmly taking over the Principality of Naga, Catherine began to put pressure on the Principality of Auckland. The Principality of Auckland is Amanda's home country, but after more than ten years of secret arrangements by the alchemist Angus, almost all important departments and officials
They were all controlled, and Catherine took the network into her hands without spending any effort.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this achievement in the Principality of Auckland that Angus felt that controlling the Golden City was so simple, so he took the risk and came to the Golden City in person!
But in any case, this network was in the hands of Catherine, and coupled with Amanda's influence, soon, without the Archduke of Auckland knowing, the actual controller of the principality was replaced by Catherine, but it was not made clear
It was just shown. Next was the showdown between Meng Han and the president of the Magicians Guild. Catherine also put aside this and started to pay attention to Meng Han.
The Magicians Guild surrendered to Meng Han, and the world was shocked. The emergence of the Magic New City gave Catherine an additional means to bribe the nobles. Owning a piece of land in the Golden City or the Magic New City is simply the dream of countless nobles. If you can get it,
After receiving this promise from Archduke Catherine, no one except the new Archduke of Auckland thought that the country was in the hands of the Grand Duke.
If these people had to take orders from Archduke Catherine because of Angus's methods, then now they join the Principality of Trans completely voluntarily and voluntarily without any second thoughts. No one will have trouble with gold coins, and no one will be stupid.
Opposing the Lord of the Golden City who had just killed the president of the Magicians Guild and took control of the entire Magicians Guild.
Everything was arranged on Meng Han's side, and Archduke Catherine immediately started taking action. The whole operation was very simple. His Majesty the Grand Duke, who had only been in office for a few years, was escorted to the Rock Castle in a daze. As for the Principality of Auckland,
Also overnight, the banner of the Auckland Province of the Principality of Trans was raised, and at the same time, almost more than 90% of the nobles declared their allegiance to Her Majesty the Grand Duke Catherine.
As soon as the news came out, none of the people in the Principality of Auckland objected. They all cheered happily and joined the citizenship of the Principality of Trans. You know, the people of the Principality of Milan and the Principality of Naga changed their lives after joining the Principality of Trans.
The standard has risen rapidly, almost twice as good as their original life, and much better than their life in the unstable Principality of Auckland. Joining the Principality of Trans means a better life and a more stable environment.
, who wouldn’t want to?
The disfavor of the people was clearly demonstrated at this moment. The surrender from top to bottom was something that the new Grand Duke could never have imagined. Even when he woke up from his slumber in the Stone Castle, he had no idea what had happened.
matter.
The unlucky guy, in order to obtain the position of the Grand Duke of the principality, he even did not hesitate to murder Princess Amanda, used Angus's power, and did not hesitate to murder the original Grand Duke, but now he has become a prisoner directly, and no one has come forward.
Pray for him.
"He belongs to Amanda, send him to the Golden City and let Amanda deal with it!" This was the only time Her Majesty Grand Duke Catherine said it after meeting him. Then Her Majesty the Grand Duke just waved her hand easily and said nothing more.
What, turned around and walked away. He even ignored the Archduke of Auckland's plea for mercy and loyalty, and didn't give him any chance at all.
It was after Amanda got the news that she happily came to Meng Han to tell him the good news. After Meng Han learned the whole story, he was also very happy for Catherine and Amanda. It seemed that the two women seemed to get what they wanted.
, Catherine got the Principality of Auckland, and Amanda got her father-killing enemy, and everyone was happy.
However, although Catherine had already told Amanda to deal with the Duke of Auckland, Amanda was still waiting expectantly for Meng Han's instructions. Smart Amanda understood that everything she had now was given by Meng Han, so no matter it was
She had to get Meng Han's consent for everything.
"The Duke of Auckland is yours, you can do with it as you please!" Meng Han's words were almost the same as Catherine's. But Amanda's attitude gave Meng Han an indescribable sense of satisfaction. A previous life might have
The noble princess of the principality whom he needed to look up to now needed his nod to do what she should be able to do. This feeling was not the ordinary feeling of conquest.
The Principality of Auckland has also been acquired. The territory of the Principality of Trans has become extremely huge, but it has a weak spot, which is the Principality of West Asia. The Principality of Auckland also borders the Principality of Naga and the Principality of West Asia. Although the territory is now connected, it is long and narrow.
There is no horizontal depth in strategy. In Meng Han's view, since the Principality of Auckland has been captured, there is no need for the Principality of West Asia to hold back.
The letter sent by Catherine also clearly expressed this concern and asked Meng Han what to do next. Meng Han did not delay and directly called Grace Alice and Amanda to discuss together. Now the Golden City
Basically, the three women and Meng Han discuss all the affairs together.
The Principality of West Asia is also in Grace's scheme. This principality, which disdained Meng Han's weapons, has long been thrown into chaos by the means arranged by Grace. One of the Grand Dukes has succeeded, and the other has not succeeded.
The successors, one is the government of the principality, the other is the rebel army, one uses weapons produced by his own country, one uses weapons sponsored by the Golden City, one uses the principal's finances, and the other is supported by a big arms dealer. The two sides cannot fight.
Open business.
"How many of us are there in the West Asian resistance army? Can the situation be controlled?" Meng Han asked this question after he and Grace learned about the situation in the West Asian Principality.
"In fact, apart from the nominal leaders, all the West Asian resistance forces are our people." Grace smiled slyly: "The city guard recruits, ninjas, underground guilds, and finally our mercenaries are all our people."
There are many magicians who are our people. As you said, Tony, our soldiers need actual combat to accumulate experience, and new weapons also need to test their effectiveness in actual combat. Moreover, Tony, you also said that arms dealers are
That's what we did." Grace is in charge of the government and military affairs of the Golden City, and she handles all these things single-handedly.
Meng Han did not expect such a situation, nor did he expect that Grace would regard his words as golden rules and implement them so thoroughly, which made Meng Han suddenly feel guilty. Could it be that the weapons of the Golden City really
To the point where it cannot be sold? Do you still need to control and support a rebel army to fight against the legitimate government?
This thought just flashed through Meng Han's mind and immediately disappeared without a trace. Anyway, the Principality of West Asia will soon be merged into the Principality of Trans, so it is meaningless to investigate the cause.
"Can the war be controlled?" Meng Han asked again.
"The deputy commander-in-chief of the West Asian government army is one of ours." Grace said calmly, but there was a sense of accomplishment that could not be concealed: "The war can end at any time, and whoever wants to win can win. In addition, the Principality of West Asia
There used to be a territorial dispute with the Principality of Naga, but it is now occupied by the Principality of Trans. If necessary, government troops can attack it at any time, providing the Principality with an excuse to intervene." Once upon a time, Grace Alice was nothing more than a mistress.
They were just poor twins who were struggling to survive, but now they could decide the rise and fall of a principality just by talking and laughing.
"Then let the government troops attack!" Meng Han nodded without hesitation and issued the order: "Leave the rest to Catherine. If the leader of the resistance army does not understand current affairs, then let him be killed by the government
The army was accidentally wiped out. If you know the current situation, let him come to Golden City and give him a manor."
After deciding the fate of the Principality of West Asia, Meng Han counted the time and found that another year had passed. The two businesses of the Light Empire and the Dark Empire had already begun to harvest.
"Alice, prepare two large caravans, all equipped with flying trucks." Thinking of this, Meng Han began to tell Alice: "We need to open the trade routes between the Light Empire and the Dark Empire!"
"Yes, sir!" Alice replied happily, and a golden light flashed in her eyes, as if she saw a lot of gold coins!
