In the end, the Yan Kingdom did not formally take over Nuremberg, nor did it maintain military control.
This was certainly not because German officials arrived and took over the city from them again.
In fact, until Yanguo took the initiative to lift military control, the personnel sent by the German official to take over the city were still unable to arrive due to "traffic problems."
Chen Xin had people ask and urge them several times, but all he got was the answer: "Traffic is jammed, please leave the city to citizens' autonomy and maintain material transfers."
Such an answer undoubtedly made Chen Xin very angry, and he even had the idea of just ignoring it and letting the city die.
But in the end, he didn't go too far.
After all, once the Yan Kingdom's army and joint security forces withdraw, the situation in Nuremberg will deteriorate visibly, and it will become unknown whether the materials supporting the front line can still be transported smoothly.
As for the possible consequences of this, no one knows.
The city couldn't let it go, but it had various problems when it took over. After Chen Xin was almost scratched by the dilemma between the two parties, he still thought of a way to solve the problem.
He chose to actually follow the answer given by the German side and let the people of Nuremberg take over the city themselves.
However, unlike what the German officials expected, which was for the people to control themselves and the city to still belong to the German officials, Chen Xin summoned the people's representatives in Nuremberg and Fürth and informed them that the Yanguo army would lift military control and jointly maintain security forces. After the news that they would also be evacuated, a completely new proposal was put forward for these panicked and frightened people, that is, Nuremberg and Fürth declared urban autonomy.
It should be noted that the urban autonomy here and the citizen autonomy desired by German officials are two completely different concepts.
Although both are autonomous, the former means turning a city or region into an independent administrative division. Although they still belong to Germany in name, they will not obey the orders of the German official, nor will they submit to the jurisdiction of the German official.
Citizen autonomy is nothing more than handing over the management of the city to the people themselves, allowing them to maintain the operation of the city. The city is still controlled by the German officialdom.
For the German officials who have not sent formal staff to Nuremberg for unknown reasons so far, whether Nuremberg declares autonomy or not has little impact on the current situation in Germany.
In other words, from the perspective of German officials, if the actual control of the city cannot be recovered, there is actually little difference between letting them be controlled by citizen autonomy or separatist forces.
The worst that can happen is that a city declares independence. For the German officials who have no control over the city or the city, this is really not painful.
After all, they are all out of reach anyway, so what difference does it make in whose hands the city is controlled? It just sounds nice in name.
It is even possible that for the German officials, it is better to let the places that are temporarily unable to manage them be autonomous, which can save some resources. After all, controlling the city still requires some investment.
But for the citizens of Nuremberg, the difference between the two is huge.
Citizens are autonomous. All they can do is to keep the city running, especially the most critical material transfer, to continuously deliver supplies to the front line of defense, and to continue to pay taxes to the German authorities.
That is to say, although they enjoy the right of autonomy, they are actually still subject to the jurisdiction of official management agencies and pay taxes.
As for autonomy, it is basically equivalent to independence. Although it still belongs to a country in name, but other than that, it is equivalent to an independent country.
For the people of Nuremberg, the only thing that may need to be discussed is that they need to continue to transport supplies to the front line.
Faced with the actual situation of official inaction and the inconvenience of Chen Xin and others from the Yan Kingdom to intervene, the people of Nuremberg finally chose independence and self-government.
They have been heartbroken by the inaction of German officials and have lost trust. So since it is all about autonomy, why not just do it?
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that Nuremberg chose independence and autonomy after breaking away from military control.
It can be said that from the previous semi-separated state of the garrison, it has come full circle, but it has become a real separatist state in Nuremberg.
Faced with such a result, Chen Xin didn't care. It was just that everyone was working in vain.
However, after the Autonomous Committee established by the people of Nuremberg agreed to Chen Xin's request and would continue to transfer materials to the forward defense line, the situation was still somewhat different.
At least the Autonomous Committee will not float the transferred materials. At most, it will only obtain part of the materials to maintain the operation of the city. This will invisibly reduce a lot of consumption, allowing more materials to be transported to the front line to help mankind fight against foreign forces. Make more contributions to the invasion of alien creatures.
In fact, for Chen Xin, if the garrison officers hadn't been frightened by the two land speeders and suddenly surrendered to him, he really wouldn't have cared about Nuremberg.
After all this trouble, even though it seemed like he had done nothing, the existence of the surrendered garrison proved to Chen Xin that he had done something in this trip.
These surrendered garrisons were handed over by Chen Xin to the Autonomous Committee and left to their disposal.
After some discussion by the Autonomous Committee, they chose to expel this official German force.
After all, people in the entire city didn't have a good impression of this force that had been dominating the city before.
Although the existence of this garrison made the security of Nuremberg relatively stable, and some surrounding armed forces did not dare to make trouble, objectively speaking, it protected the people of Nuremberg, but this did not prevent them from expelling this force.
As for what to do with Nuremberg's security and defense after expelling this force, the Autonomous Council plans to form its own militia and rely on these militia to defend its city.
In order to help these people and to supervise whether the Autonomous Committee would try its best to maintain the material transfer work in the future, 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 supplies in Nuremberg, and at the same time assist the people of the Autonomous Committee and help them train the militia.
As for the weapons and equipment used by the militia, the Autonomous Committee also planned to purchase them from the Yan Kingdom, so after going around and around in circles, the control of Nuremberg was still in the hands of the Yan Kingdom.
