Chapter 362 Sui Policy

In the mountain territory, with a burst of cries, the people in the territory immediately boiled.

The lord has a son, which is a sign of the maturity of a power.If it weren't for the wrong time, everyone would hold a celebration immediately.

Public celebrations have been cancelled, but private celebrations abound.

This is not the capital of the kingdom, so naturally no one pays attention to such a small problem as "failure".

Seeing his son landed safely, Hudson didn't stay long, and immediately stepped on the back of the dragon and headed straight for the capital.

The advantages of the dragon knight are reflected here.

It would take less than a month for an ordinary knight to go back and forth to the capital, but Maxim could do it in a day.

The situation in the royal capital is tense, and an important person like Hudson cannot be absent, but it is still possible to ask for a day off.

With a good mood, he found that the atmosphere was not right when he first arrived in the capital, and before he had time to enter the house, he was invited to discuss matters in the palace.

Looking at the tense-looking crowd, Hudson was very puzzled.I had only left for a day, and something happened again.

Could it be that another important guest was assassinated?

If this is the case, the officials in charge of security work can go home and farm.

"When everyone is here, the meeting will begin.

Count Carles, Count Martinez, tell everyone what happened on your side! "

Caesar IV said with a serious expression.

Seeing this scene, Hudson was very embarrassed.

From the atmosphere at the scene, it can be seen that except for him, the guy who left, who didn't know what happened, everyone else knew.

His intuition told him that it must have something to do with the military, otherwise everyone wouldn't be waiting here for him.

"Just received the news from the border that the army of the Kingdom of Hesse is gathering in the provinces of Kovasia and Obera.

The specific target is unknown for the time being, but Earl Martinez and I agreed after analysis that the Hessians came for the kingdom.

Before leaving, we also arranged emergency plans.The nobles currently staying in the provinces of Kovasia and Obera have already started mobilizing for war.

However, the aristocratic private armies in our two provinces alone may not be able to resist the enemy's front. "

Hudson was taken aback after hearing what Count Carles said, and he called it unscientific in his heart.

According to the practice of the Aslante continent, if a war broke out between human nations, they had to find a reasonable excuse before sending someone to fight.

This is not over yet. After the war letter is finished, the war can only be launched after the opponent's army has assembled to the border.

If we pay more attention to the rules, the first battle between the two sides will also agree on the time and place.

When they arrive at the place, they don't start fighting immediately, but the high-level officials of both sides have a final negotiation, or bickering, and the fight officially starts when they can't reach an agreement.

If the opponent can be successfully persuaded, or if one party is subdued, it is common to withdraw troops and go home directly.

"The kingdom's standing army has already set off and will arrive at the front line in the shortest possible time.

Now I invite everyone to come here to discuss whether the Hessians want to start a war?

If war broke out, how would the kingdom deal with it?

Several powerful countries in the central region are all eyeing our Northern Continent covetously, will they take advantage of the fire?

If the war expands, which enemies do we need to face, and which allies can we win? "

The series of questions raised by Caesar IV completely confused Hudson.Is this discussing how to deal with it? It is clear that they have already started to deal with it.

The border provinces began to be fully mobilized, and the kingdom's standing army was also deployed.

But this is the Alpha Kingdom. In the past, when the orc army made a slight move, that's how everyone responded.

The habit of hundreds of years has become natural, and now everyone is driven by instinct in the subconscious. This good habit will definitely not change in a while.

Hudson is very suspicious that the army of the Alpha Kingdom has completed its assembly, and the Hessians are still discussing whether to launch a war.

"Your Majesty, perhaps the situation is not that bad. The standing army of the Hessians is only 23 people, and at most half of them can be devoted to the battlefield.

No matter how elite they are, with only such a small force in total, if the nobles from all over the country hold their castles and fortresses, they may not even be able to take down the provinces of Kovasia and Obera.

If you really want to invade the kingdom, you must mobilize the whole country.

You might as well take a look at their follow-up actions before deciding whether to carry out national mobilization.

The kingdom is in the recovery period, and it is not suitable for launching a large-scale war. It is best not to fight if it is possible. "

Hudson spoke persuasively.

It's just that the more he talked, the more he felt that something was wrong. Who is the representative of the Kingdom's hawk faction!
How did he, the biggest main fighter, become the leader of the anti-war faction?
"Your Majesty, the Earl of Hudson is right. The Hessians are no more warlike than the orcs. They haven't fought a war with more than 80 people in the last 20 years.

Perhaps the current mobilization of troops is just a test, and none of their envoys have evacuated! "

Marquis Delgado hurriedly followed suit.

The Ministry of Finance is the largest anti-war faction in the Alpha Kingdom.However, due to his limited military ability, Marquis Delgado did not dare to draw conclusions easily.

Now that Hudson, the military master of the kingdom, speaks, Marquis Delgado immediately has a bottom line in his heart.

If you can not fight, then you must not fight.If the kingdom's reaction is too extreme and the flames of war are ignited all at once, the finances will really be ruined.

Of course, if the war is won, it will be another situation.

However, considering the obvious strengths of both parties, everyone still has no idea.

It seems that the number of standing armies of the two countries is almost the same, but the Warcraft Cavalry in the Hessian Kingdom Army has been established, and its weapons and equipment are more advanced.

The disparity in the strength of the noble private armies between the two countries is even greater. Most of the elite private army of the Alpha Kingdom were buried on the battlefield of the orcs, and it only took more than a year to replenish the full establishment.

How strong is the fighting power, I am afraid no one can tell.Anyway, the aristocratic gentlemen present have no confidence in these troops.

On the other hand, the noble private army of the Kingdom of Hesse is superior in both quantity and quality.

The strength disparity among the extraordinary services is even greater.In the Kingdom of Hesse, if a family does not have hundreds of monster cavalry, they are ashamed to call themselves a great nobleman.

There are also large and small magician groups, the specific strength is not clear, anyway, the worst magician group is stronger than Hudson's pocket mage group.

Of course, the Alpha Kingdom is not without advantages.The speed of mobilization is one aspect. The key is that ninety-nine percent of the nobles on the kingdom's side came off the battlefield.

The individual strength of various domestic armies is generally inferior to that of the Hesse Kingdom, but these people are all veterans who have just come off the battlefield.

This is why Hudson dared to assert that in the case of defending the city, the small mobile force of the Kingdom of Hesse could not win the confidence of the two provinces.

If you can't achieve phased victory in a short period of time, you will fall into a strategic stalemate.Once the crowd tactics were started, the advantages of the Hesse Kingdom's elite soldiers were not obvious.

The continent of Aslant is not peaceful, and the strength of the human race cannot be exhausted in the civil war. At that time, some countries will come out to persuade them to fight.

If it weren't for a period of peaceful development to stabilize his own foundation, Hudson really wouldn't mind pushing the boat along the way and fighting against the Kingdom of Hesse.

After all, foreign wars can really divert domestic conflicts.Instead of letting the nobles of the kingdom fight endlessly, it is better to lead everyone to fight.

Winning or losing is not important. According to the current gameplay, the expansion of the human race's internal struggle is mainly based on cannibalization, and the country will be destroyed before a single battle.

"Marquis Delgado, the Kingdom of Hesse has summoned nobles from all over the country to the capital for a meeting, which is a sign of war.

As the saying goes, be prepared, the kingdom must prepare for war in advance, and cannot be attacked by the enemy because of a momentary negligence..."

The words were almost finished before Count Martinez realized something was wrong.It seems that there is no precedent for a direct sneak attack in the war between the nations of the human race.

But on the surface, he still maintained his composure.It's not impossible to use precedents.

Before the war really broke out, no one knew whether the enemy would obey the rules.Naturally, predictions about things that have not yet happened cannot be defined by right or wrong.

Even if he knows that his judgment is too subjective, he still has to insist. This is the way of survival of the border nobles.

Putting anyone in his position will require the kingdom to prepare for the war with all its strength, so as not to suffer losses after the war breaks out.

It is best to engage in a big wave of pushback as soon as the war breaks out, placing the battlefield within the enemy's borders.

"Count Martinez, things are not that bad. You are all guarding the city now, and even if the enemy sneak attack, it will be difficult to achieve much results.

Losing the country's reputation for a few castles, the Hessians are not that crazy.

Don't forget, our relationship with the Kingdom of Hesse has only deteriorated in the past year, and there is no inextricable hatred between the two sides.

Even if they really can't bear it and want to launch a war abroad, we can draw the disaster out.

The big deal is to acquiesce in the Kingdom of Hesse's invasion of one or two small northern countries, then grass on the wall is a good choice.Since they want to move closer to the big countries in the central region, they should be fulfilled. "

After hearing the words of the prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, Hudson said in his heart: Good guy, isn't this a replica of the policy of appeasement?

If the Alpha Kingdom plays like this, it will be the source of disaster.When the ambitions of the Hessians are stimulated, a full-scale war between the two countries will really be inevitable.

You know what you know, but Hudson didn't jump out to object.What does the life and death of several small northern countries have to do with him?

According to the gameplay of the Aslant continent, even if the Kingdom of Hesse is allowed to expand to the northern continent, their pace will not be fast.

If you want to successfully annex a country, even the smallest uncle country, you have to go through all the political, military, and diplomatic means, and you have to face the interference of many powerful countries
If the method is a little too extreme, he will be dragged into a net and beaten until his parents don't even know him.

"The Prime Minister is right, the current international situation has changed, and our foreign policy should also change accordingly.

At present, several major countries in the central region want to advance northward, and it is too difficult to stop them in the current state of the kingdom.

It's better to make some appropriate concessions, sacrifice the interests of those scumbags, and temporarily stabilize them.Buy enough time for the kingdom to recover. "

The words of the Marquis Zuel further clarified the policy of appeasement.Everything stems from interests. The southeastern provinces have national defense pressure, and the southwestern provinces are also not easy.

Everyone is busy recovering their strength, and now all the nobles in the kingdom don't want to start a war at this moment.

Count Carles and Martinez, who were clamoring originally, also fell silent at the moment.Obviously, they also don't want to break out of war with the Kingdom of Hesse at this time.

If there is a chance to lure the enemy away, who wants to turn their own territory into a battlefield?
"Marquis Zuel, the enemy's ambition cannot be fed by a little profit. The more we indulge them, the greater their ambition will be, and sooner or later they will come back to us.

Perhaps when the time comes, our enemy will not be just a Hesse Kingdom, but multiple kingdoms in the middle part ruled by desire.

The best choice is to fight out now and extinguish the enemy's ambition with iron and fire, instead of luring them to annex other small countries! "

Duke Hiero hastily objected.

The speed at which the main combat faction was defeated was so fast that he didn't even bother to struggle, forcing him to stand up.

If the policy of appeasement is passed, the war will definitely not be fought for a while.

As long as the Hessians are not in the water, they will know to bully the neighboring small country to eat meat, instead of running to fight against the iron plate of the Alpha Kingdom.

With the development of the situation, all the nobles in the country have agreed, but they are the only nobles in the Northland who are in tragedy.

Slowly developing in the peaceful age, the military advantage that originally belonged to the nobles of the Northland will soon be overtaken by everyone and wiped out.

Certain wealthy nobles may even surpass them militarily by virtue of their strong financial resources.

"Duke Hiro, if you can solve the kingdom's financial problems and find a way to make up for the gap in military strength between the two sides, I think this suggestion is very good.

If it can't be done, I don't think your suggestion is feasible.

Remember, war is fought logistically.With the kingdom's current financial resources, I'm afraid we will run out of money just after the war begins.

This time the enemy is not a foreign race, so don't expect the Human Race Alliance to give us a complete picture.

If your Excellency can guarantee that the kingdom's military can continue to fight for the kingdom when the logistics supplies are not available, then forget it! "

The words of Marquis Delgado choked Duke Hero to death, and the other four Dukes were also livid with anger.

The problem of the army's inferior combat effectiveness can still be overcome.The big deal is to use veterans to heap elite soldiers to death. With everyone's rich combat experience, there may not be no chance of winning on the battlefield.

However, the reason of "there is no money and the supply of strategic materials cannot be supplied" is really an unsolvable problem.

Based on the financial situation of the Alpha Kingdom, not to mention going out to borrow money, and not being called in advance, it is considered as a face for the creditors.

"Count Francis, according to everyone's proposal just now, is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs able to settle the Kingdom of Hesse?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.
