Chapter 202 The Independence Movement
Reza Khan disembarked from a train bound for Brittany, these land dragons that roared across the land, carrying goods and passengers from one end of the earth to the other. Whether dressed elegantly or not, passengers disembarked from the same or different groups of carriages, regardless of their origin or class, as long as they paid the same amount of money, they could buy the same seats.
As a warrior who had fought his way through the desert, Reza immediately noticed the tremendous changes that had taken place in the country that supported him the moment he first set foot on the land of Amelansi.
He witnessed unprecedented prosperity, equality, and freedom. From the moment he entered Amelansi from the east, he saw elven workers, sand tribe workers, and demon workers chatting and laughing together. Different cultures intertwined and gradually merged into one in the furnace called industry.
In the small town of Amelansi, golden wheat fields dance in the wind, and red-brick houses rise in layers, puffing wisps of smoke into the sky. In the city, neon lights flash, and the music of a magic phonograph and a band's saxophone blends with the cars speeding along the streets.
The closer one gets to the growing center of Amelansi—De La Leyah—the more profound the feeling of another world becomes. In this emerging capital, meticulously planned railways, airports, and subways are booming, and the city's inner ring road is already crammed with cars. Reza Khan had seen the vehicles of the Amelansi armed forces and knew their function, but he had never imagined what it would be like to have an overwhelming number of cars crammed into the city's roads.
"Welcome, Mr. Reza, welcome to De La Leyer City."
For Reza Khan, the support of Ameransi was undoubtedly the most important factor. The training of his guerrillas by the Rangers gave his guerrillas the ability to confront the authorities for the first time, which enabled them to gradually take control of half the country. The guerrillas then became the Dehoran Revolutionary Army.
Even so, he was certain that the Church and the Caliph would not stand idly by while he took control of Dehoran, a country situated at a crucial juncture between East and West, bordering the Balkan Empire to the west, the Caliphate's desert empire to the east, and the Church to the south.
He knew that the demons weren't helping them out of charity; they were just being greedy. They didn't want faith or slaves; they just wanted money. Dehelang didn't have money, but it had a strategic location, mineral resources, and manpower.
So, before taking control of the last few strongholds of the authorities and the city of Dehoran, Reza Khan took his men to meet Alice Delalaye.
As Reza Khan was pondering something, he suddenly saw a giant banner on a building, depicting a lifelike portrait of a man surrounded by the words "Vote for City Councilor Kafalat!" written in Common.
He didn't quite understand these things, so he asked the official next to him. The demon in the black suit nodded and replied, "It's related to our system. At the city level, we choose universal suffrage. It's a complex system."
Reza Khan nodded, and the car soon stopped at De La Leyah 5, the building housing the offices of the national leaders. In addition to serving as the offices of central government officials, the building also serves as a reception center for the public.
After all, the National Diplomatic Conference Hall located on the 24th has not yet been completed.
Reza Khan was directed to get out of the car, where he was greeted by a tall, white-haired woman. After a series of unexpected meetings, Alice appointed Raffarin Loh as vice president, a legitimate right of the president and a power granted to her by the constitution.
Compared to Alice, she was more like a technocrat, and as this message was being delivered, she was directing the National Energy Network to redesign parts of the national Magic Energy and Power Grid.
It is evident that Raffarin Lau's expertise will guide the country's progress and development; at least for now, many things are gradually getting on the right track thanks to her efforts.
"Welcome to Amelansi, Your Excellency Reza Khan."
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule, Madam Vice President."
Reza Khan shook hands with Raffarin Lo, and he was surprised to find that the woman in front of him, whose race he did not know, was actually taller than him. He had to raise his head slightly to look at her face.
"this way please."
Reza Khan was led into the meeting room, where a certain Bauhaus modern style made the space simple yet formal, with warm-toned lights overhead.
After exchanging some necessary pleasantries, the drinks served were slightly sweet soda water. Reza Khan was eager to know what Amelansi wanted after the liberation movement had freed the entire Dehoran region.
"Hmm... what do you want? Of course, of course, Amelansi's support for the Deherang liberation movement is based on our own considerations and interests. Do you know why the Church's influence withdrew from the Deherang Empire?"
"Of course, they reached some agreements with the Caliphate Desert Empire."
“That’s right. The Church’s disgusting bishops have reached some agreements with the Caliph, which means that the two forces have started to collude.”
"And De Horam, as a country situated between the Church and the Caliph, is clearly not just a buffer zone, but also a piece of meat."
"In order to deal with us, the Church has given up this piece of meat. They have enough territory and tithes, so of course they don't care about those untouchables on the peninsula who are struggling to make ends meet and can't afford to pay taxes."
"But the Caliph accepted all comers, and that ambitious man squatting in the middle of the continent didn't care about these things. The Caliph coveted wealth and land."
"And Deholam, as a waterway between the traditional Elven nation and the western countries, was more than just valuable to the Caliph."
Even if the Church withdrew from De Horan, it still had the strait south of the peninsula to support its trade volume. But the Caliphate was different. Most of the desert empire was in the center of the continent, and the most crucial Strait of Bern, although closer to the desert empire, was entirely within the territory of De Horan!
This strait is the main outlet for the northern spirits in the central ocean!
Therefore, what the Caliph is now coveting is control of this strait. Taking control of this strait would not only allow him to control the trade routes of the northern Seres elves, but also almost control the entire Raya Inland Sea.
Alice also wanted to get involved, and the De Horan liberation movement was the best example of this. But besides getting involved, what Alice really wanted was to break the current national border structure.
Raffarin Loe told Reza Khan a few things: After the country gained independence, Dehorang joined the National Independence and Liberation Movement Alliance established by Amelansi and contributed to the global national liberation movement.
Amerlansy provides industrial aid and investment to De Helang. If invited by De Helang, Amerlansy may station troops in De Helang, establish a military base, and guide De Helang's defense efforts.
If either Deholam or Amelansi is attacked, the other party should declare war on the opposing nation and fight together.
These three points, after discussion between the two sides, could be incorporated into a formal treaty. However, several other points were only included in the memorandum: After Dehoran's independence, it should be responsible for the national independence movement within the Caliphate's desert empire.
