Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

When the Losaiths, led by me, appeared, the Pofenian retreated like a wave.

Usually, at the time of withdrawal, it is a chance to pursue because the formation is disordered ...

They had no chance at all.

In order to avoid any further damage, he entered Lezad without pursuing.

After that, postwar processing was carried out quietly.

Lezad's army and mercenaries are disarmed, and Lezad itself is transferred to the kingdom of Rossais.

And his reign was replaced by the patriotic legislators remaining in Lezad.

It seems to be an alliance city with very limited autonomy.

King Rossais was a landlocked country, so he has no know-how to operate the port.

The decision is that indirect governing will proceed more smoothly than forcing it into direct control.

Most importantly, Lezard and Japan have different political and tax systems.

In the case of self-governing cities and alliance cities, in principle they were self-governing, so there was no problem ...

Since Lezard will be directly incorporated into territory, tax and political systems must be reformed.

There are various other problems ...

I'll postpone it now.

Now I have to manage Pofenia.

Three days after we entered Lezad, an international conference was held at the Lezad Capitol.

As the organizer, I open my mouth first.

"Our representatives, diplomats and ambassadors have come together today. We'll discuss post-war processing and measures against Pofenia."

I look around those gathered in Lezard.

From the country of King Domorgar, General Tonino.

Muzzio from the Equus tribe.

From the kingdom of Evil and the kingdom of Belvedir, the great tribes are diplomats.

Abraham from Gehenna.

And I and Ial and Bartolo from the kingdom of Rossais.

The so-called victorious country group. In addition to it……

Legislators and Alexios instructed on the Lezard line of defense.

Consul of Nemes.

A representative of the cities of Lezad Nemes who escaped the invasion of the Russian city by deviating from the route of the Russian army.

The so-called defeated country group.

There are also other city-state representatives who have been invaded by the Rosaith Army and have ruled under the kingdom of the King Rosaith, but they simply watch the whereabouts of the meeting and do not participate. I just watch.

"First, the countries that were allied with Lezad Nemes. I will offer you three options: one to be incorporated into our country with alliance treatment, and another to receive 2,000 Taranto indemnity. Pay, or turn everything into ash? "

Our national income is about 1,000 Taranto.

Since Japan has a population of over 400,000, it is only 1,000 Tarants, so a city state with a population of 10,000 or 20,000 at most cannot pay compensation of 2,000 Tarants.

If you violate your contract, you will die.

That is, there are practically two options.

In other words, death or obedience?

"Alms King, can I ask you one?"

"What?"

"Alliance treatment ... is that the same treatment as an Alliance city currently under your control?

"That's right."

When I answered so, the expressions of each country's delegation seemed reassured.

Well, it's a very light penalty for losing countries.

Some nations claim damages more than ten times the state's income and demand that they sell off their people as slaves if they cannot.

No, it is conscientious to just claim compensation.

In some cases, entire ethnic groups are emigrated and forced to work as slaves.

In comparison, autonomy is guaranteed, albeit with a slightly higher tax.

Not a bad story.

"Japan will now serve His Majesty, His Majesty."

"Japan is ..."

"Japan is ..."

Delegates from all over the world go in front of me and greet loyalty.

It's a good thing.

"Thank you for your loyalty, but leave me behind. I'll talk to others now."

I control the representatives by hand.

They have already been used. I don't care.

"Well, in the original plan, the war is over, but what do you do?"

I ask the diplomats of Mzio, the king of Evil, and the king of Belvedir.

Muzio first opened his mouth.

"I am here originally hired by King Almus .... If King Almus continues to hire me, let's join the war. If it's time to end here, let's go back."

"How much is the extension fee?"

"Is that going to be discussed later?"

Me and Mzio smiled.

First of all, the Equus seem to continue the war.

"What will your country do? In the fight against Pofenia, you won't get territory and you won't always be compensated, so you can't guarantee profits. I won't force you. I will respect your will."

The country of King Belvedir is a subordinate state of Japan.

The kingdom of Evil is Japan, the ally of which ranks higher.

That's the relationship.

So if I strongly wish, they would join the war ...

I don't want to crack the alliance.

I have no intention of forcing me.

Thousands of soldiers are a pain.

"... let me contact you once."

"If you do not ask the king, you will not be able to respond."

"That's true ... I'd like to ask within two days."

I can't wait any longer.

Now……

I turned my eyes to the representative of Nemes, who can be called the second main guest today.

Nemes has not yet surrendered to our country.

Just a ceasefire with Gehenna.

What to do after this? I have to ask.

"Well, first of all, I want you to clarify whether you are our friend or the friend of Pofenia."

The Nemes representative answered my question.

"There is no real friendship between nations. Therefore, Japan can be a friend of your country or a friend of Pofenia."

Nemes replied with a nonchalant response.

Abraham laughed with his nose after hearing the answer.

"Do you know this story? There was a bat in a certain place. At one time, when a war occurred between birds and beasts, birds conquering the sky at first had an advantage, and bats had their own wings. He fought as a bird, claiming to be there, but the monkeys trapped the bird by trapping it, and the beast had an advantage, and the bat betrayed the bird, and he was born because he was born from his mother's belly. The bat changed its position each time the war changed, so that after the peace was established for both the bird and the beast, the bat lost its place. "

Huh ...

There is a story about bats in this world.

Humans, the idea is the same?

A representative from Nemes replied.

"Foxes and wolves are very similar in shape. So, there is a story that foxes exaggerate other animals if they are relatives of wolves ... do you know?"

The wolf is me and Abraham is a fox.

Well, surely Abraham and I have relatives.

A glare occurs between Abraham and Nemes.

It's an instant air.

Huh ...

I don't have time to do this right now ...

"I don't care about bats, foxes, or animals. I'm asking if your country will fight Pofenia with our country, or will you resist or neutralize our country with Pofenia? Which one to choose? ''

"So we are ...

I cut off the words of Nemes.

"Pay one thousand Taranto to our country immediately, or join our country as an Allied City, send troops in the war against Pofenia, and yield Western territory to Gehenna. Other terms of surrender are acceptable. Absent"

I approach Nemes for the conditions I had previously decided to be Abraham.

No other conditions will be admitted.

If Nemes fights us with Pofenia, respect his will.

However, as a result, the city state Nemes will be missing from the map.

"... Japan is negotiating with Pofenia at the same time."

"I guess. What happened? I want you to come to a conclusion soon. I can do either."

I strongly approach Nemes.

Looking straight at him, Ial and Bartolo are slightly nervous.

No, not just two.

Everyone at this place drinks hard and watches the exchange between me and the Nemes representative.

"I see ... I will surrender."

It was Nemes who broke.

After all it seemed to be strong.

Pofenia instead of reaching out for Lezard at stake, turned his weapons on.

This shows that Pofenia has no intention of concessions.

Even if Nemes asks for help from Pofenia, it is certain that he will be tremendously rewarded.

However, the reward I requested is not cheap.

Joining as an alliance city means being taxed, and your autonomy is severely limited.

Still, it's somewhat better than Nemes burning.

"Well, there are still a lot of things left, including the disposal of a former member of Lezad's exile in your country ... but now it's time to postpone. First, give priority to the defeat of Pofenia. Drive off Pofenia from this Adernia Peninsula! "

"His Excellency, Nemes seems to have joined the kingdom of Rossais."

"Hmm ... I'm going to be a barbarian, and the proud Christians have fallen so much. Again, it's we Pofenia that will rule the Tethys Sea."

Kepka laughs even though he doesn't care much.

Kepka wants a harbor and some fertile land at the southern tip of the Adernia Peninsula.

You don't need a person to live there.

The main industry in the kingdom of Rossais, mainly Adernians, is agriculture, and Adernians are agricultural people.

Adernians do not do business. Moreover, they do not have the skills to navigate the sea.

Not only that, but some will fear the sea.

So the Christians and the Adernians can co-exist.

However, the Pofenians are the same ethnic group as the Christians, who create wealth through maritime trade.

The Christians and industry suffer.

Therefore, they cannot coexist.

To get the land, drive away the Christians from the southern tip of the Adernia Peninsula and build a colony of Pofenians.

And to do that, the Christians are in the way.

So Kepka demanded Nemes to pay 3,000 Tarants immediately and a 10,000-year installment for fifty years.

Nemes' national income is about 1,000 Taranto.

I can't afford to pay a total of 13,000 Taranto.

Even so, at that time there would be no grassroots in Nemes' urban state.

Nemes cannot drink such a condition.

It was therefore quite predictable that Nemes would dominate the kingdom of Rosais.

"Although the number is a bit inferior ... I won't be losing to barbarians. Let's end it in a field battle."

Kepka smiled for victory.
