Grudges in History and Reality
Catandan Island was a very large island, and it had territories belonging to three countries. Apart from the entire territory of the Nisu Nation on this island, the rest was divided between the other two parties. The Nisu Nation only occupied less than 1% of the island's total area, while the Nine Alliances occupied about 26% of the island's total area. The rest was owned by the Hennessy Nation, and this situation had been going on for nearly a hundred years.
100 years ago, or even longer ago, when the Kisu Nation was at its strongest, it was basically the country that ruled the entire Catandan Island. The other two parties had almost no territorial disputes with the Kisu Nation. They did not even have a national system.
A large part of the history of Catandan Island was dominated by the history of the Nisu Nation. Although it was a very backward civilization, there was at least one thing. In the history of the entire Catandan Island, the Nisu Nation was the only regime that could represent the entire Catandan Island. Its historical status was completely incomparable to the Nine Alliances and the Hennessy Nation.
The reason why the current territorial distribution was formed was more than 400 years ago. At that time, the hateful colonists from the West had occupied the island step by step in the name of trade. Then, through gradual encroachment, threats, or direct conflicts, the entire island was gradually placed under the colonial system of the West. At the most serious time, the Nisu Country had also become a protected country controlled by the West. They had lost the highest part of their sovereignty, and their territory had been nibbled away.
The 300 years of time had caused this country, which was not very powerful to begin with, to become more and more backward step by step. The territory it controlled was almost completely divided by the three forces of the Western White People. They were the Lan Kingdom, which had once ruled the Nine Alliances, the He Kingdom, which had once ruled the Nixi Kingdom, the Ban Kingdom, which had once ruled the overseas territory of the Nisu Kingdom, and his successor, the United Kingdom.
At the same time, many of the surrounding islands were also under the colonial rule of the Western White Bodies. There were three main bodies of the Western White Bodies here, two of which had the deepest influence on the Nisu Nation. After about 300 years of colonial history, the entire Catandan Island gradually formed the predecessor of the current political structure.
The two world wars in the western world caused the western colonial system to show signs of collapse. After the second world war, nationalism began to revive. At the same time, a new cold war was ongoing. The drastic changes in the international environment made the colonies seek independence from the colonial rulers. Although the Nisu Nation was a protected country, it had its own corresponding sovereignty. It was fundamentally different from a completely colonized region.
However, this difference formed a huge divide on the entire Catandan Island. Although the suzerain behind the Nisu Nation and the Nine Alliance Nation was the same, there were differences in their pursuit of independence, not to mention the other part of the Catandan Island ruled by the white people. The different political suzerains caused the world on Catandan Island to be divided into three parts, which formed the current recognized and solidified situation of the three countries on Catandan Island.
In fact, in the last century, when they were seeking independence from the colonies, the Kisu Nation could have formed one or more countries with one of the nine consortiums at that time. Unfortunately, the poverty and weakness of the Kisu Nation at that time made it not very attractive. Coupled with the catalyst of other complicated situations, the nine consortiums united some regions and cities to form a country. This was the formation of the Nine Consortiums or the Nine Alliances.
The various strengths of the Kisu Nation were completely incomparable to the Nine Alliances that had just become independent from the colonies. Whether it was in industry, agriculture, population, economy, or military, the Kisu Nation was absolutely weak. However, at that time, the inherent sovereignty of the Kisu Nation made it impossible for it to join the alliance formed by the nine Alliances to form a new country. Therefore, it could only establish independence and form two political bodies.
The formation of the two countries created a new huge conflict, which was the unresolved territorial dispute. Because of the previous suzerain and the various conflicts between some of the nine federal entities, the two sides soon became enemies.
The Nisu Nation had a weak population and could not be compared to the Nine Alliances. Although there were small conflicts, peace was still the main part. Under the current international system, large-scale conflicts and annexations were difficult to happen again. Only negotiations could resolve territorial disputes.
The focal point of the conflict between the Kisu Nation and the Nine Alliances was the division and ownership of the forest area, the territorial sea, and the exclusive sea zone. The two sides had been fighting over these two points for decades. No one could convince the other, and no one was willing to give up, so it had been pending.
In the past few decades, large-scale exploitable oil and gas resources had been discovered in the disputed territorial waters and exclusive marine zones, which further increased the controversy of the disputed areas, because no one wanted to give up the fat meat that was on their lips.
Although the controversy continued, negotiations were still ongoing. In the end, both sides finally reached a balance from dozens of feasible versions: He wanted the sea and not the land. He wanted the land and not the sea.
The country's poverty and weakness made the ruler of the country choose the sea because the disputed area of the sea was much larger than the entire forest area. Moreover, the economic benefits that could be produced in the disputed sea were richer and more valuable than the entire forest area. In the end, after a partial compromise between the two sides, they finally signed the final peace agreement, completely turning the disputed area between the two countries into a non-controversial area. It was also confirmed by a treaty.
There was no dispute between the two sides. The country had also invested heavily in the development of the marine economy, especially the exploitable oil and gas resources. Due to the small population of the country, the relatively large marine oil and gas resources had brought rich foreign exchange income, which had also driven the overall economic development of the country. The royal family and the civilians of the country had also benefited greatly. They quickly got rid of poverty, and even the per capital of the country had increased substantially. All kinds of social welfare had also followed. It made the Nisu Country the richest part of Catandan Island.
Now, the people of the Zhen Nation who had suffered a huge disaster, the people of the Horni Nation after the turmoil, and the people of the Nine Alliances Nation had all swarmed into the territory of the Niesu Nation. The small Niesu Nation suddenly had a population that was ten times larger, and it was mainly the Zhen people. This made the population structure of the entire Niesu Nation completely become dominated by the Zhen people. At this time, the president of the New Lion State sent him back and asked him to take over the mess. Moreover, he had asked him to read out a declaration that could easily cause conflict with neighboring countries. It was obvious that he was going to cause trouble.
Morritt was already prepared to be a puppet. Who would have thought that the president would only give him three options and allow him to rule the entire Catandan Island? If he could really rule the entire Catandan Island, even if he was just a puppet monarch, he would be able to regain the glory of his ancestors. When he thought of this, the guilt he felt for being a puppet monarch disappeared.
On the night of the 6th of January, after Morriet announced his new declaration, the Nine Alliances were the most agitated. As for the forest area, the treaty between the two sides had already settled the ownership of it and it had been peaceful for half a century. Now that Morriet mentioned it, it felt like he was bringing up the past again. It was as if Morriet was looking for a new dispute, which was impossible for the Nine Alliances to accept.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for all of this. This prerequisite was that the military forces of the Nine Alliances would not step into the territory of the Kisu Nation. As long as they stepped into the territory of the Kisu Nation, they could be declared as invaders. They could be considered to have started the war. The start of the war could be decided by them, but the end date of the war was decided by them. This gave him a promising statement. Even if it was the worst outcome, There were still other members of the royal family of the Niisu Kingdom. This made it impossible for his country to be annexed by other countries even if he was defeated. In any case, the Niisu Kingdom was already in an invincible position.
As for the Nine Alliances sending troops to the NiSu Country, this was at the request of the second son of the old king of the NiSu Country. The Nine Alliances also wanted to prevent the Zhen Clan from occupying a second Zhen Clan base like the New Lion Tong Kingdom in the entire Yi 'an Region in the Southeast. Even without the request of the second son of the old king, it was imperative to send troops to interfere with the newly established NiSu Country.
Even though the Nine Alliances had also received a large number of refugees from the Zhen Clan and formed a large resistance organization, for the sake of the stability of their own territory, they did not allow the Zhen Clan to establish a country.
It would have been easy to gather an army of 10,000 soldiers a week ago, but it was quite difficult now because the turmoil in the Nine Alliances required a large-scale army to suppress it. However, the second son of the old king had promised a year's military expenditure of 100,000 ordinary soldiers, as well as various preferential trade between the two countries in the future. There was also the possibility of allowing the Kisu Nation to join the Nine Alliances and eventually become the Ten Alliances. The Nine Alliances had considered all aspects. They would still unanimously agree to accept this plan. After all, they were located in the forest area between the two continents of the Xiaosu Nation, and they also needed large-scale military protection.
The eastern and western sides of the forested area were surrounded by the Kisu Nation. In other words, the eastern, central, and western sides of the Kisu Nation were surrounded by the Nine Alliances. Fortunately, on this large island, both sides were basically branches of the same ethnic group. For nearly a hundred years, they had been living in peace. The economy, culture, trade, and other aspects were very frequent. A small Kisu Nation was nothing in the eyes of the Nine Alliances, although the people of the Kisu Nation were richer. However, in terms of overall strength, they were completely incomparable to the Nine Alliances.
The population of Forest Town had already reached 120,000 before the turmoil. This was mainly due to the fact that it was located in the middle of the two territories of the Nisu Kingdom. Due to the value of the goods and the wealth of both sides, Forest Town had become a shopping paradise for the Nisu people. However, due to the small size of the Nisu Kingdom, the population of 120,000 was already the largest development of this town.
The forest area also suffered from a large influx of Zhen tribe refugees, and there was a large-scale conflict. However, after Morrit announced that he would accept the new influx of refugees as new citizens, the Zhen tribe refugees in the forest area fled completely. This was because these Zhen tribe refugees did not want to give up such a great opportunity to become new citizens of the Nisu Country.
This situation instantly restored peace in the forest area. Without the existence of the Zhen people and the Zhen people's armed groups, there would be no fighting between them. However, the damage to the town would take them a few days to clean up the damage caused by the previous conflict. Part of the reconstruction task was a more arduous long-term project.
With the departure of the Zhen tribesmen, the original 1200-strong Nine Alliances army and the newly formed 6000-strong indigenous armed forces in the forest area became the absolute dominant force in this area. Now, they were working hard to restore order and were also waiting for the disaster relief supplies from the western region of the Nine Alliances.
The Nine Alliances Nation was divided into two parts like the Nisu Nation. The only difference was that the Nine Alliances Nation was separated by a large sea, while the Nisu Nation was separated by a short sea.
The eastern part of the Nine Alliances was located in the northern part of the entire Catandan Island, while the western part was located at the southernmost tip of the Southeast Peninsula. The tip of the southernmost tip was a small island country like the New Lion State.
The focus of the Nine Alliances had always been on the western half of the country, so the western half of the Nine Alliances had always been the most powerful part. To resist the national resistance of the Zhen tribe in the Nine Alliances, the western half of the country was much easier to manage than the eastern half. The most important thing was that most of the Zhen tribe in the eastern half had been forced to move to Nandan City, which was close to the south of the New Lion State. Although there were still some resistance forces from the Zhen tribe in the western region, it was still possible for the Nine Alliances to send a portion of their forces to the eastern region.
In view of the current situation in the Xiaosu Nation, the Nine Alliances Nation could not let the Xiaosu Nation return to its original state because there were already about 5 million refugees from the Zhen Clan and Zhen Qiao in the Xiaosu Nation. If they returned to their original state, these 5 million Zhen Clan people would have nowhere to escape. They could only escape to the only land territory of the Xiaosu Nation, the Nine Alliances Nation. This would definitely cause a huge disaster for the Nine Alliances Nation. The reason why the Nine Alliances agreed to send troops was that they hoped that the government of the Kisu Nation would at least be controlled by the second son of the old king, because the second son of the old king was inclined to the Nine Alliances.
In order to make the old king's second son recognize the Zhen Clan refugees in the territory of the Nisiu Nation as his second-class citizens, the Nine Alliances Government had made a huge decision. However, they could only make him recognize the Zhen Clan refugees in the territory of the Nisiu Nation as second-class citizens. This was already the greatest compromise that both sides could make.
Most of the 10,000 soldiers that the Nine Alliances sent to the Kisu Nation were 9,000 people transferred from the western region. Together with the 1,000 people in the forest area, they had a total of 10,000 soldiers. Among them, there were about 1,000 navy soldiers responsible for the protection of the sea.
It would take at least two days for the army in the western region of the Nine Alliances to gather and enter the sea near the Kisu Nation to form a combat force. The timing was just in time for Morriet to announce his appointment as the new monarch of the new country.
It was already the morning of the 8th of January by the time the Nine Alliances had dispatched their troops to the vicinity of the Nisu Nation. Morriet was about to announce the establishment of a new country at 8 am and hold a military parade at 8:08 am, which happened to be on the same day. However, in the past few days, the Nine Alliances and the Hornish Nation had been using air and sea forces to launch an unbalanced attack on the Nisu Nation. However, both sides had avoided the Oil City and the palace. After all, one of these two places was the pillar industry of the Nisu Nation, and the other was the symbol of power of the Nisu Nation. Such a military attack did not pose any threat to Morriet, who was hiding in the palace.
Meanwhile, Morrit had not been idle for the past two days in the palace. He had to announce the inauguration ceremony of the monarch on a good day and prepare for the military parade that day. Although there were many things that he did not have to worry about, and all the various advisors from the New Lion Kingdom rushed over to help him with everything, just signing some necessary documents and using his space for the rehearsal was already very busy.
The two major rival organizations in the territory of the country slowly calmed down under the network surveillance and efficient intelligent management of the organization throughout the country. In just two days, more than 10,000 malicious troublemakers and saboteurs were arrested. Most of them were indigenous people. They were declared guilty and would be subjected to six years of labor reform. These criminals were all wearing special induction handcuffs and carried out the task of wasteland development. The primeval rainforest, which was originally worthless, was gradually transformed into farmland that could be used for farming. The ruins in the city were also cleaned up by them, and everything in the territory of the Nisu Nation became orderly. The efficiency of its management could become a model for governance after the world's turmoil. Peace came quickly, and rapid recovery was the most visible result.
However, he didn't have to worry about these things. He was currently busy with two things: the preparations for the establishment of a new country, and the military parade arranged by Tonglian.
Ever since he joined the alliance, his rank in the alliance had risen rapidly. He was already at the beginning of the G rank. In the entire Southeast Yi 'an Region, he was the second-highest-ranking national leader after the President of the New Lion State. He even had the same rights as the President of the New Lion State in the alliance. Moreover, this military parade should be very important to the alliance. He had actually allowed the new president of Lion State to come to the Kisu Nation three times in two days. Of course, the new president of Lion State came to deliver the most advanced weapons and equipment for the military parade.
These weapons and equipment were placed in large boxes. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was inside. The president of the New Lion State was not clear about what was inside these boxes. He was also in charge of this matter according to the mission requirements of the alliance. For today's military parade, the president of the New Lion State was the only foreign leader.
