The volunteers in Black Tooth City withdrew from the battlefield after resisting for nearly a month. At this time, the Sonia army that entered the Western Region had reached three divisions. Within a month, the Sonia people almost occupied most of the major cities in the Western Region. .
A total of seven divisions of Sonia's Western Army entered the Western Region.
During this period, Lu Ming also celebrated his 618th birthday in 1957.
Also in Heishan, the Principality of Heishanbao and Longbei Autonomous Province (Ren Zhonglin), Longbei Democratic Province (Sungan), Beining Military Government (Han Renwang), Beijiang Autonomous Province (Qihuaide), and Anshan Autonomous Prefecture (Miao Baifeng) The six parties signed the "Montenegro Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation".
Montenegro Treaty Organization was formally established.
According to the treaty, military, political and economic integration institutions such as the Allied Command (Northern Military District Headquarters) and the Secretariat were established in Montenegro.
When the oil supply agreement in Thoroston was about to expire in June, Tianhai Petroleum, which had obtained the operating rights of the Thoroston oil field, signed a new agreement with the Kingdom of Sonia to continue to deliver crude oil to the Luxon Industrial Zone. The market price payment method, in this way, can be regarded as an agreement acceptable to both parties, and both the Sonia people and the Montenegrins have their own plans.
On June 25, the Principality of Black Mountain and the Hanzhou Autonomous Prefecture, which had been negotiating in secret, reached an agreement. The Hanzhou National Guard accepted the leadership of the Northern Military District Command. The autonomous prefecture parliament approved the agreement with a slim majority.

Lu Ming watched the parliamentary voting results broadcast in real time on the TV news and let out a long sigh.
Some congressmen sincerely support the National Guard to accept the leadership of Prince Montenegro. Moreover, the real political opinion of these congressmen is that Hanzhou should be integrated into the Central Continent family of the Principality of Montenegro.
Especially due to the current war, Hanzhou originally relied on its status as a hub in the middle of the empire and was the third largest city in the empire, second only to Donghai and the imperial capital.
However, it was most affected by the war, and the various parties separated themselves. The separatist forces either cut off economic exchanges with each other or set up trade barriers, which greatly affected Hanzhou's central hub status.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Sonia is eyeing the kingdom of Sonia, which is expanding to the north, and may be conquered by Western iron hooves at any time.
The Hanzhou congressmen who support Hanzhou becoming part of the Principality of Montenegro still have the idea that the people of Zhongzhou are one family.
However, they are actually very few in number. Although they have clear political goals, they are very enthusiastic and have strong ability to act independently. They are also very capable in parliamentary debates.
After all, a dozen members cannot affect the overall situation of the entire parliament.
The members of the pro-Sonia side are actually the most numerous.
The Special Work Department relied on coercion, inducement, bribery, etc. to make some MPs vote on the side of the principality.
He also united the pro-Gryffenni Kingdom parliamentarian groups and persuaded them to vote in favor on this issue.
But this is the case, and the advantage is extremely weak. No one knows what the result will be when the day of voting comes.
Now that the results have come out, Lu Ming is relieved.
This was because the Sonia people were focusing on the war in the Western Region, so the sneak attack was successful.
Several staff members who were watching TV with "Minister Li" stood up, applauded, and toasted in celebration.
The current identity of "Minister Li" is "Minister of the Hanzhou and Southwest Grand Strategy Department", directly under the Prince's Privy Council.
The operations from Hanzhou to the city-states in the Southwest and Western Regions are integrated in Lu Ming's view.
Including several Western autonomous prefectures from Hanzhou to Xiheishanbao are also targets of the Grand Strategy Department.
Including the actual integration of Hanzhou into the principality and becoming a part of the principality, as well as the support and support of the resistance forces in the Western Regions to carry out guerrilla warfare, etc.
Such a complicated matter and the management of such a vast area in all directions require one person to take overall responsibility.
Lu Ming might as well come here by himself, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.
Several staff members include Lu Sanjin (Mrs. Sanjin), who is currently the director of the Office of the Minister of Grand Strategy and liaison to all parties; Zhao Xiaochang, director of the Hanzhou Branch; Chang Lei, director of the Special Work Department; Dennis McCann, Executive Director of Xinghan Investment Company; Zheng Kunlun, representative of the Principality to Hanzhou Autonomous Prefecture, etc.
In addition, there is the Principal Army Major General Bao Dalong. After the Hanzhou State Assembly approves the entry of the National Guard into the northern military region, Bao Dalong will be appointed as the political training specialist of the Hanzhou National Guard Headquarters.
They have all worked with Lu Ming. Of course, they have different identities from Lu Ming.
For example, Chang Lei, the director of the Special Work Department, once served as the captain of the guard of "Governor Zhang" for a long time.
Dennis McCann was once an excellent trader on Wutong Street in Donghai and one of the investment managers of the Golden Arch Fund. He later entered the field of industrial investment.
Bao Dalong was the fire platoon leader of the company where Lu Ming participated in the competition during the founding period of the Black Mountain Brigade. He ate and lived with Lu Ming for a long time.
When "Representative Li" was suppressing bandits in Baihai, Bao Dalong had been promoted to the commander of the Miaozhou Border Brigade. He had made new achievements in suppressing bandits and was now transferred to Hanzhou.
At this time everyone raised their glasses, Lu Ming smiled and said to Bao Dalong: "It's up to you from now on."
The Hanzhou Autonomous Prefecture National Guard originally had about the same number of professional soldiers as Donghai, with only a few hundred people. After the civil strife in the empire, they recruited reserve troops and now have four brigades with a strength of more than 20,000 people.
The commander-in-chief Liu Hancheng is an extremely tough conservative and royalist who is loyal to the empire. The current situation makes him very sad.
Between the eldest prince William V and the second prince Henry II, he was probably also conflicting about who he should support.
However, his son and daughter-in-law, Senator Chen Yonghe, is a firm supporter of Henry II. He is also the leader of the friendly Sonia faction among Hanzhou legislators.
Bao Dalong, it would be better if we can unite with Liu Hancheng. If we can't, we will have to fight against Liu Hancheng's military power in Hanzhou.
"The dust has settled here, I will go to Xiheishan Fort tomorrow!" Lu Ming walked to the window and looked at the city view outside.
This penthouse apartment in Times Building was bought by me when Xiao Meizhen was still here when she came to Hanzhou to file a lawsuit.
It provides stunning views of Hanzhou city center and Central Park. The two-story apartment is nearly 1,000 square meters, with an extremely spacious outdoor terrace, gorgeous decoration, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, garden, etc., and even There is a pool table and bar.
The interior of the apartment is decorated in a bright style, mainly in snow-white tones, covered with hardwood and marble floors, and there is a beautiful marble spiral staircase.
Xiao Meizhen has lived here for more than two years, but she is now working in Donghai, but she has not seen her for a long time.
The flight route from Hanzhou to Xiheishanbao is two thousand kilometers, and the new special plane can fly nearly two round trips without refueling.
Today, because the Sonia army has occupied more than half of the major cities in the Western Region with overwhelming force, its morale is strong, and there are many city-state owners in the Western Region who have surrendered, and the resistance movement is at a low ebb, so the focus of his attention is still on the Western Region.
He patted Zheng Kunlun, the representative of the principality stationed in Hanzhou, on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this to you!"
"Understood!" Zheng Kunlun felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. He had to make friends with more powerful people and legislators in Hanzhou here, and he also had to promote the idea of a principality among the people of Hanzhou. The road ahead was long and arduous.
