In this land called Ilya, a fierce class change had made it go through two political systems in a short period of time: a feudal kingdom and a parliamentary republic.
The original first class: the royal family represented by the king and his relatives; the second class: high-ranking clergymen and nobles of the church; and the third class: the elites of the bourgeoisie had all been wiped out.
This country, which was once the leader of the Tulip Alliance, was now left with only peasants, citizens, including proletarians, and other lower-class people.
There was no doubt that Ilya as a whole had suffered a great loss. Without at least a hundred years of recuperation, it was impossible for it to rise again.
After that, including the land that originally belonged to the nobles and the land that had been occupied by the bourgeoisie in the past three months, all the property rights certificates were invalidated after the war. But they were not returned to the peasants who lost their land.
The land of the entire Ilya Kingdom had been taken over by the Alliance. After the war, it was divided according to the agreement agreed in advance. Especially Faletis and Tello, who were the leaders, had the largest "administrative area".
All the administrative land added up to almost two-thirds of the total land area of Ilya. There was very little land that still belonged to the citizens of Ilya.
In the map that Livena had taken out, there was a map.
In addition to the colony of the Southern Continent that had long been divided up by the Alliance, more than half of the entire Ilya Kingdom's administrative area had been marked with blue representing Faletis. It also represented the outstanding contributions made by Faletis in this war.
Among them, the barony of the Garriott family that could support forty Knights had been circled by the Second Princess. That was a promise made by Her Majesty before the war.
In this era, most of the lords who still retained power in their territories were pursuing the centralization of their territories.
Therefore, Levina was not surprised that Elvin chose the land of the New Continent in addition to the barony that originally belonged to the Garriott family.
But what surprised her was the location that Elvin finally chose.
After taking the map, Levina waved her hand and drew a circle in the location of Buffalo. She glanced at Elvin.
"Are you so optimistic about the future development of the New Continent? I thought that even if you still choose to change the colony of the New Continent, you would choose Charles. "
This time, it was Elvin's turn to tease her.
"Your Highness, if I really choose Charles, will the kingdom really be willing to give it to me?"
Levina lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip elegantly.
'Even if you see through it, don't say it out loud. We are still good friends.'
In the New World, Faletis had the largest colony in the Tulip Alliance.
However, from the south to the north, the 150,000 square kilometers of Far Sail Territory, the 100,000 square kilometers of Georgia Territory, and the 210,000 square kilometers of Charles Territory were a behemoth of 460,000 square kilometers.
It wasn't much smaller than the kingdom itself.
The Queen and the Crown Prince, the two leaders of the kingdom, must be so careless that they would allow such a monster to appear in their territory? Unless a simple vassal became one of the rulers of the kingdom, it was instinctive for a monarch to restrict and balance.
On the other hand, Buffalo, which was separated from Georgia by the entire Faletis Colony, was different.
To the south was the coastal port city of Concord, which belonged to the Crown Colony of Cabesdale. To the north was the Pine Family's Fortmont.
Although the area was not small, a full 140,000 square kilometers, the land was not connected as a whole, and it did not belong to Faletis in the first place. The resistance to passing through the kingdom was much smaller.
Of course, he had his own considerations for choosing this place.
Elvin, who had a large number of "remote sensing satellites", had already drawn a complete map of the entire New World. Not to mention the Alliance's colonies, in terms of understanding of the New World, there were probably few people in the world who could match him.
Buffalo had a 204-kilometer coastline, and a 600-kilometer coastline along the southern shore of the six lakes. There were 8,000 lakes and nine main rivers in the entire territory. The water network was dense, and the natural waterways were developed.
It had a monsoon climate and was very livable, and the climate was the closest to the Alliance's mainland.
Among them, Long Island Harbor, which was located at the mouth of the Hartson River, had excellent natural conditions. It had a deep harbor and a pocket-shaped mouth. It had a peninsula (Long Island) as a natural shelter from the wind, which was precious in the New World where there were many hurricanes and storms.
This harbor had the advantages of being deep, wide, hidden, small tidal range, not freezing in winter, year-round navigable, and so on. The Hartson River, which entered the sea from Long Island Harbor, flowed smoothly, without soil erosion or sediment deposition.
And in terms of geographical factors, the fast waterway from the Old World to the New World, the Testa Current, which turned back to the New World from the north of the Black Sea, was facing Long Island Harbor.
It was also an important transportation hub for the Old World, especially for the Tulip immigrants. For the New World, where most places were still barren, the population was the greatest wealth.
Otherwise, with the pitiful population of the New World, who knew how long it would take to obtain enough population to develop by natural growth.
Using various methods to attract immigrants on a large scale would also be a long-term policy for the New World's colonies that would last for decades or centuries.
In addition.
Just based on Ilya's current development level, using the existing land to plant pasture, raise dairy cattle, and develop animal husbandry. The production of dairy products, which was essential to the Nimansts' daily necessities, was already ranked first in the Alliance.
In addition, the production of vegetables, watermelons, sweet cherries, pears, maple syrup, and maple beer was the highest in the Alliance.
After the mapping of the "remote sensing satellite", at least 58,000 farms could be planned on this flat and fertile land in the future, with a total area of 4.68 million hectares.
It was enough to easily provide for a large city of more than 10 million people.
It could be said that this place was born for commerce and trade, and it had most of the prerequisites to become a super-large commercial city.
Elvin was not the only smart person.
Through the newly recruited talents, he learned that when the merchant nobles gave up on the Southern Continent and sent a large number of ghouls to occupy this place, they had already planned for this.
It was just that they had accidentally lost this opportunity forever.
As long as he could obtain Buffalo, the entire marquisate's total area would reach 240,000 square kilometers. If placed in the Source Continent, even among the kingdoms, it would not be considered a small country.
Moreover, he had a great plan that could fully utilize the geographical advantage here, and even let the entire Faletis colony soar.
He just needed to wait for the dust to settle before he could explain it to Levina and Her Majesty.
Hmm, Elvin felt that it should be a pleasant surprise … Right.
After skimming over the previous topic, Rivenna pondered for a moment and promised Elvin.
"If it's Buffalo, it's not a big problem. I'll convey your message to His Majesty. After the Land Committee deliberates, it won't take long for the official decree to be issued. "
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and got up again to bring a document for Elvin.
"Oh right, because of Miss Anita's outstanding contribution in this war, although she didn't have any military position and didn't pledge loyalty to His Majesty, she was still awarded a merit title. When you go back, bring it to her. But … "
There were three types of titles in the kingdom. The first was the royal title, which was given to the royal family or the highest nobles. The second was the noble title, which was given to ordinary hereditary nobles. The third was the merit title, which was given to people with great contributions.
Anita's merit title was the third type, which was Baroness.
However.
Although the Garriott family was small in number, after the war, they had become one of the most popular families in Faletis and even the entire Tulip Alliance.
A mere Baroness title was just icing on the cake. After Elvin read it, he put it away. He was a little curious about what she didn't finish.
"But what?"
Levina moved closer to Elvin. Her snow-white arm supported her sharp chin. Her lake green eyes were full of anticipation. She lightly bit her rosy lower lip and said tentatively.
"Elvin, is Miss Anita interested in joining the kingdom's navy? Starting from the rank of Rear Admiral, what do you think? "
She even picked up a piece of caramel pudding from the plate in front of her and put it in front of Elvin.
The latter didn't hold back. He took it and started eating with black tea.
"Tsk, the royal chef's skills are good. Ordinary things taste extraordinary. Hehe, Your Highness, you must have taken a fancy to my sister's temporary ability to resist the power of a Fourth Stage. Political propaganda? Extraordinary deterrence? "
Her thoughts were exposed by this guy who was becoming less and less of a ruler. Rivenna pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at Elvin. She reached out to grab the pudding in front of him.
Elvin quickly reached out to protect it.
"I can't make the decision for Big Sister, but I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it? Your Highness? "
"Let's hear it."
"Actually, I still have a batch of 'treasured trees' that haven't been used up."
Levina's eyes instantly lit up. Before the war, she knew that Elvin's [Legendary Warship – Miracle Crown] was built by himself. She didn't expect that there were still materials left.
At this time, only a fool would ask about the source of the treasured trees. As long as it wasn't their own things that were lost, it was fine.
And when Holy Angel Bellenus left, he made a promise to the kingdom.
As support for the Faletis Kingdom, as long as they could build an extraordinary warship, he was willing to spend a huge amount of energy to bless it and transform it into a true legendary warship.
What the kingdom lacked now was this kind of extraordinary-level precious ship material. The share of "Treasured Tree Bay" was not enough to build a complete warship.
"Elvin, you want to sell the 'treasured trees' to the kingdom? You can name the price! "
Levina's eyes lit up. She patted her chest, making Elvin dizzy.
"Cough …"
Tap! Tap!
Elvin tapped the table with one finger. The porcelain teapot jumped up and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"Your Highness, you see, it's not easy to make an independent 'ship spirit' from a pile of dead things. But it's not that difficult for me.
That batch of ship material was originally prepared for my sister, but there wasn't a lot of it. I heard that the kingdom also has some in stock, why don't …? "
