As the culprit that caused this world war was eliminated, the Erebonian Empire, which had been prepared for a long time, at the instruction of the comeback, Yukint III, the temporary government representative, Karl Regniz, sent a signal of peace.

After some simple consultations, the heads of state who knew most of the truth agreed to accept Herrebonia's armistice request. Marshal Vandyk and Lieutenant General Cassius quickly completed the signing of the armistice agreement on the Danguram Hill Front.

After being freed from the control of the curse, the soldiers of the Imperial Army, who had already had a fever, seemed to wake up from a nightmare.

They were extremely upset about their previous crazy behavior. Anti-war sentiment in the Imperial Army rose and their fighting will quickly fall to the bottom.

Kalwade seized the opportunity and took the lion's gamble, repeatedly demanding that Julai, Northampulia and Closbeer, who were annexed by the culprit Osborne before the empire's liberation.

Yukent III's body has not yet fully recovered, and he is still ineffective in dealing with heavy government affairs.

He entrusted the authority of peace negotiations to the Interim Prime Minister Regniz, the Provisional Government Representative, and the Duke of Kane, who was the representative of the noble faction.

There was a lot of internal affairs, and Ryan didn't have the energy to argue with the Republic that had been in concert before.

After Carl's permission, Ryan made a public statement, allowing the people of Closebell, Jule and Northampulia to choose whether to leave the empire.

The independence referendum between Julai and Northampulia was held on the same day, and the result was somewhat surprising to all countries.

Julai has been the special economic zone of Herrebonia for several years and has indivisible connections with the empire in all aspects such as culture, finance and politics.

The independence referendum in the Zhulai Special Economic Zone showed an overwhelming result. The opposition factions won with a turnout of 73%, and only 13% voted in favor of independence, and the rest voted abstained.

Kloe and Stark were not surprised by this result, both of them had a considerable degree of understanding of the Erebonia native.

In the years since Zhu Lai was merged, not only did the economic development not stagnated, but instead grew at a faster rate than before.

Even if some people who are concerned about Zhulai City, it is natural that the people of their hometown will choose to stay in Ereponia under the interests visible to the naked eye and improve their living conditions.

The voting ratio in Northampulia is relatively stalemate. The former senior executives of the autonomous prefecture are desperately motivating the people to independence from Ereponia. According to Rector's intelligence agency report, there seems to be shadows of the Republic's agent activities in secret.

However, the lower class people did not buy into the advocacy of the former autonomous prefecture government.

In the year after joining the empire, although he was exploited by Lufas in the first half of the year, as Prime Minister Osborne invested funds for development, the development in the second half of the year made most people feel the difference from their previous lives.

Although it is not possible to completely get rid of poverty for the time being, with the influx of capital from Erebonia, the people can at least see a glimmer of hope for life, and they will not be able to rely on the hunters of the North to work hard to provide for the country as before.

In the end, Northampulia's vote was 35% to 33%, and those who favored staying in the empire had a slight advantage.

This result surprised all countries. The people in Northampulia had serious confrontation due to this result, and for at least some time it was too peaceful.

The situation of Crossbel, which the Republic values ​​most, is even more complicated.

Although the prime minister's faction has been completely defeated and lost power, the Governor's Office, headed by Hamil, is still unwilling to return the power of Closebell to the newly formed Provisional Central Government.

A large number of remnants of Osborne were concentrated on Close Bale. Many guards who knew they could not turn back also joined their camp and firmly guarded the key areas of Close Bale.

At a critical moment, the rebels led by Dita as the spiritual leader were dispatched.

Through the old version of the white magic machine teleportation Ryan deliberately left in Closebell, the Rebels teleported the mecha soldiers they owned directly to the rear of the Guards' defense line.

The guards who lack defense were easily defeated. The returned Support Corps and Guerrilla Association led by the Sword Saint of Wind, Arios Marklein, broke into the Orchid Tower and successfully captured all the diehard elements such as Governor Hamil.

The Guerrilla Association's operation was approved by the official government of Herrebonia to mark the faction of Governor Hamil as an insurgent, so they were able to participate in the arrest of government personnel.

The former Closebell guerrilla Scott, Lin and Aolia were active, and Toval, Sarah, Fea, Yanelas, Estil and Joshua, who participated in the support, also made a lot of efforts.

After recapturing Close Bell and liberating Speaker McDowell who was under house arrest and the state legislature, Close Bell's independence referendum was finally held.

But beyond the expectations of the Kalwald Republic, they thought that they belonged to the staunch independence party, and Speaker Dita and McDowell, also clearly expressed their opposition to independence.

The two attended a public event together, and Dita, who was good at speaking, analyzed the pros and cons of leaving Ereponia for the people of Closbeer. The sharpest point of view...there is the possible actions taken by the Kalwad Republic after leaving the Empire.

Although Calvad's next president was very annoyed, he publicly advocated that the empire was blinding the people of Crossbeer in China, and called on the aspiring Crossbeer people to stand up and arm their independence.

But the final result was still not as he wished. The respected old Speaker McDowell and Dita stood together to support staying in the empire. The referendum result was 64% to 32%.

The enthusiasm of the participants can be seen from this voting result. Only 4% of the people voted abstained, and the rest expressed their opinions clearly.

Since the result has come out, even though the next president of the Republic was furious, the calm President Locksmith still admitted the result and temporarily gave up his pursuit of Close Bell.

"snort!"

On the floor of the Governor's House of Orchid Tower, Ryan snorted coldly and left the latest issue of the Closebell Times on the coffee table.

"Sure enough, the next president of the Republic's rule is very dangerous. He is a typical radical. After he takes over the power next year... there may be many more troubles."

Carl, who temporarily transferred his office to Closebell, smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows.

"We cannot control the next president like a firecracker for the time being. We must first calm the chaos in the country and sign a peace agreement with all countries as soon as possible."

The General State Mobilization Act, the issuance of this decree, brought heavy burdens to all sectors of the empire.

Although the laws were abolished immediately after the establishment of the Provisional Government, the domestic political situation is still in chaos.

As soon as the prime minister died, all the demons and demons who had hidden their heads and tails before jumped out, clamoring to settle the eight generations of ancestors of the prime minister.

The aristocrats who had been suppressed for a long time also had abnormal movements. There were many aristocrats who wanted to take the opportunity to regain their privileges. Now Miltio stayed in China for the time being to lead the four famous families to suppress their actions.

Ryan shrugged and said, "Anyway, the war cannot be fought anymore. The army has no desire to fight. Forcing force will only cause mutiny. Only by abandoning some interests and signing a peace treaty."

Carl nodded, "Although the Republic has asked for astronomical compensation, there are still some talks about the amount. I will not let them attack us immediately after getting the money."

Remifilia, Liber and various autonomous prefectures were easier to handle. After Ereponia promised to resume trade with them and increased the sales of various restrictions on goods, these countries and autonomous prefectures signed an agreement very readily.

The biggest problem lies in Kalwald. The next president has been advocating the theory of imperial threats at home, putting pressure on President Lock Smith, forcing him to make a request to cede land and give huge compensation to the empire.

It is impossible to cede land, and it will never be possible in this life.

There are a lot of messes in the empire now. Although the total number of troops is still huge, it is indeed unable to continue fighting.

If the money is not taken out to calm the republic's anger, who knows what the next president will do?

Ryan stood up from the sofa and waved to Carl and said, "These quarrels are left to you. I'll go back to China first. Olibart's wedding is approaching, and the nobles' alliance still have a lot of trouble to deal with."
