Chapter 674 Urban Autonomy

In the end, the Yan Kingdom did not formally take over Nuremberg, nor did it maintain military control.

Of course, this was not because the German officials arrived and took over the city again from them.

In fact, until the Yan Kingdom took the initiative to lift military control, the German officials sent people to take over the city were still unable to reach the city due to "traffic problems".

Chen Xin asked them to ask and urge them several times, but he always got the answer "Traffic congestion, please hand over the city to citizens' autonomy and maintain material transportation."

This answer undoubtedly made Chen Xin very angry, and even had the idea of ​​simply ignoring the situation and dying with the city.

But in the end, he still didn't overdo it.

After all, once the Yan Kingdom's army and joint security maintenance forces are evacuated, the situation in Nuremberg will be noticeable to the naked eye, and it will be unknown whether the materials supporting the front line can be transported smoothly.

As for the possible consequences of this, no one knows.

The city cannot let it go, but it has various problems with taking over it. After Chen Xin was almost stuck in a difficult situation, he still came up with a solution to the problem.

He chose to really follow the German reply and let the people of Nuremberg take over the city themselves.

But unlike what German officials expected to be self-made by the people, the city still belongs to German officials. After Chen Xin summoned representatives of Nuremberg and Fert to inform them that the Yan Kingdom army would lift military control and the joint security maintenance forces would also evacuate, he put forward a new suggestion for these seemingly panicked and frightened people, that is, Nuremberg and Fert declared urban autonomy.

It should be noted that urban autonomy here and the civic autonomy that German officials hope for are two completely different concepts.

Although they are all autonomous, the former means turning cities or regions into independent administrative divisions. Although they still belong to Germany in name, they will not obey the orders of the German government or obey the German government's jurisdiction.

Citizen autonomy is just to hand over the management of the city to the people themselves and let them maintain the operation of the city themselves. The city is still controlled by the German officials.

For German officials who have not sent official staff to Nuremberg so far, for some unknown reason, whether Nuremberg declares autonomy or not has little impact on the current situation in Germany.

In other words, in the German official view, if the actual control of the city cannot be reclaimed, there is actually little difference between letting them be controlled by citizens' autonomy or separatist forces.

The worst is that a city declares independence. For German officials who have not had the power to control the city, it is really painless.

After all, it’s beyond the reach anyway, so what’s the difference between the city in whom? It’s just a little better in name.

It is even possible that for German officials, it is better to let them govern themselves if they are not able to manage the places for the time being, which can save some resources. After all, controlling the city requires some investment.

However, for the citizens of Nuremberg, the difference between the two is huge.

In terms of autonomy, all they can do is to maintain the city's continued operation, especially the most critical material transfer operation, to continuously deliver supplies to the front line of defense, and to continue to pay taxes to the German official.

That is, although they enjoy the right to autonomy, they are actually subject to the jurisdiction of the official governing body and pay taxes.

As for autonomy, it is basically equivalent to independence. Although it has nominal ownership of a country, in addition to this, it is equivalent to an independent country.

For the people in Nuremberg, the only thing that may be discussed is that they need to continue to maintain the transfer of materials on the front line.

Faced with the actual situation of official inaction and the inconvenience of Yan people like Chen Xin and others, the people of Nuremberg finally chose independence and autonomy.

They have been hurt by the German official inaction and have lost trust, so since they are all autonomous, why not just be a little bit?

So under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that Nuremberg chose independence and autonomy after leaving military control.

It can be said that after a roundabout way, Nuremberg's real separatist rule was confirmed.

Faced with such a result, Chen Xin didn't care about it, it was just that everyone was working in vain.

However, after the autonomous committee established by the people in Nuremberg agreed to Chen Xin's request and continued to transport materials to the front line of defense, the situation was still a little different.

At least the Autonomous Committee will not drift away the transferred materials, at most it will only obtain some of the materials from them to maintain the operation of the city. This will invisibly reduce a lot of consumption, allowing more materials to be transported to the frontlines, and make more contributions to humans against the invasion of alien creatures.

In fact, for Chen Xin, if the officer of the garrison was not scared by the two land ships and suddenly surrendered to him, he would not have been in charge of Nuremberg's affairs.

After a while, even though he seemed to have worked in vain, the existence of the surrendered garrisons still proved to Chen Xin that he had done some things this time.

These surrendered garrisons were handed over to the Autonomous Committee by Chen Xin and allowed them to deal with them.

After some discussions by the Autonomous Committee, they chose to expel the German official troops.

After all, people in the entire city have no good feelings for this army that was already in the city.

Although the existence of this garrison has made the public security in Nuremberg relatively stable, and some surrounding armed forces do not dare to cause trouble. Objectively speaking, they have protected the people of Nuremberg, but this cannot prevent them from expelling this force.

As for what to do with the security and defense work in Nuremberg after expelling this force, the Autonomous Committee intends to form a militia on its own and rely on these militias to defend its own city.

In order to help these people and to supervise whether the Autonomous Committee will try its best to maintain the material transfer work, Chen Xin notified the European aid fleet and asked the fleet to send a working group here.

The main task of the working group is to supervise and inspect the transfer of materials in Nuremberg, and at the same time assist the members of the Autonomous Committee in training militias.

The autonomous committee also planned to purchase the weapons and equipment used by the militia from Yan State, so after going around and around, Nuremberg's control was still controlled by Yan State.
