king.

Chapter 444 Carve up plan
"Humph!"

After the elder elf who was the leader gave a cold shout, all the elves in the delegation glared at Earl Francis.

It was agreed to let the coalition forces of the ancient survivors join forces, but as soon as a preliminary agreement was reached, news came that the entire army was wiped out.

All their hard work was in vain.

The battle was fought under the leadership of the Alpha Kingdom. If it doesn't matter, it must be impossible!

However, this non-aggression treaty is what both parties need together, and the results achieved in the negotiations cannot be abandoned because of past disputes.

Upon receiving this news, Earl Francis could only express his regret. Who made his marshal too good at fighting?

It was originally agreed to promote peace and put pressure on the elves, but they never expected that the battle would end in the blink of an eye.

The Ancient Remnants Alliance has an army of 10,000+ in Hankros Province. No one expected that they could be defeated so quickly under the condition of wholehearted defense.

As for the plight faced by the coalition forces of the ancient survivors, it is a pity that Earl Francis is a civil servant and he has no interest in the battle process.

The battle reports of the expeditionary army will not emphasize these things, some are just soldiers fighting the enemy bravely, and the commander uses his troops like a god.

"Count Francis, you are really calculating!"

Hearing the murderous words of the elder elf, Earl Francis waved his hand calmly and said indifferently:
"Dear Priest Meg, the battlefield is ever-changing, and all kinds of accidents are possible.

The main reason is that the progress of the negotiation between us is too slow. If the contract is signed in advance, this kind of thing will not happen. "

Whether the negotiation can be tough depends on the performance on the battlefield.

The battle was fought before the signing of the treaty, so this kind of behavior is naturally not a breach of the contract.

Even if there is a truce during the negotiations, it is still a matter between the Alpha Kingdom and the elves, and does not include the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants.

Negotiations cannot proceed if allies are included.At the same time, the elf army did not stop invading southward.

In this regard, no one needs to blame anyone, the competition is still strength.

"Since this is the case, then there is no need to talk nonsense. We will sign the contract directly, and then let the high-level officials of the two countries sign the contract, and the agreement will be considered effective."

Priest Meg said angrily.

It has become an established fact that people cannot be resurrected after death, and the ancient survivors have suffered heavy losses. Rational diplomats will naturally choose to accept the reality.

"No problem. However, my lord, I want to make a statement here:
After the signing of the treaty, the kingdom's troops will withdraw from the Warhammer Great Plains, excluding local resistance forces and troops from other countries.

The kingdom has no right to force allies to give up their land, and can only restrain their behavior as much as possible, but the final result is not guaranteed. "

Earl Francis said slowly.

With favorable conditions on the battlefield, as a diplomat, you must fight for the corresponding rights and interests.

The Warhammer Great Plains, which was finally recovered, must not be spit out directly, otherwise the Human Race Alliance will not be able to explain it.

The strategic center of gravity of the Alpha Kingdom is in the northern border, and it is unable to occupy it for a long time. It is undoubtedly the best choice to let the allies manage it.

The issue of interests can be discussed after the war.As the most powerful country in the Northern Continent, the kingdom still has enough right to speak at its doorstep.

Even if the situation in the future is unfavorable and the city is lost again, it cannot be blamed on the kingdom.

……

After the war, Hudson became more and more busy.It is necessary to arrange for people to chase and kill the rout to expand the results of the war, but also to be busy dealing with post-war affairs.

The most critical is the ownership of the Kingdom of Warhammer.After an invasion by foreign enemies, the establishment of the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms was smashed to pieces.

The nobles who fled want to come back to regain power, and the armed forces that have risen amidst the chaos of war want to turn the results of their battles into long-term benefits.

The irreconcilable contradiction between the two parties will be the main conflict in the Warhammer Kingdom.The situation had just improved, and there were signs of tension between the two sides.

The fugitive aristocrats were all vested interests in the past, and they were best at political struggles. Now they have started to move around to win external support.

The emerging power faction is a little slower to respond politically, and they haven't thought of that much for the time being, but they have soldiers in their hands.

Compared with the exiled aristocrats who have become bereaved dogs, the biggest advantage of these people is that they are in the country and have contributed a lot in the process of "recovering the lost land".

Regardless of the size of the force, they have sent troops after all, and have formed substantial control over the place.

If Hudson was born in a veteran aristocrat, then there is no doubt that he would support the exile faction.Maintaining the unshakable traditional order is the duty of every veteran nobleman.

If Hudson is purely grassroots, he must support the emerging group.The path of a lone traveler is destined to be short-term, and more people must be found to form a group.

Sadly, Hudson falls right in between.He is a rising noble, but not a rising noble.

Promoting civilian officers and sending them into the aristocratic circle is just to boost the morale of the army and set an example, it does not mean that he is about to jump out and play the revolution.

At present, the large and small resistance forces in the Warhammer Kingdom are also mixed with fish and dragons.There are not only those led by the children of big nobles, but also those led by small and medium nobles, and most of them are armed by civilians.

Needless to say, the aristocratic armed forces, the predecessors of the civilian armed forces are various civil organizations such as merchants, mercenary groups, caravans, assassin organizations, and thieves alliances, as well as a few grassroots heroes.

The internal components are too complicated, which directly leads to the inconsistency of their interest demands.Most groups only focus on their own one-acre three-point land, and rarely consider national issues.

Hudson has tested these groups, and except for a very few organizations that are considering the future of the Warhammer Kingdom, the rest don't think that much.

Many people even naively thought that as long as they gave Master Hudson a gift, their future status would be guaranteed.

Taking money to do things has never had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle. What everyone is afraid of is that they don't do things for money.

What's more, the money is not only for Hudson himself, but for the entire expeditionary force.

Most of the property looted by the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants in the Warhammer Kingdom was left in the strongholds in various places. The expeditionary army did not have the time to clean up one by one, so they could only resist the armed forces cheaply.

The most bitter and tiring battles were fought by the expeditionary forces, and the richest spoils were taken away by resistance forces, large and small, which is obviously unreasonable.

Even if it is land, it is inconvenient for the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army to reach out, but everyone must share the floating wealth!

It is a gift in name, but it is actually a distribution of spoils.Anyone who knows a little bit about the world knows how to prepare a generous gift.

If you don't realize this, you have no future.Without the proof of military exploits presented by the coalition command, their efforts would be in vain.

When a new dynasty is established in the future, it will only recognize well-documented military exploits, not their own oral military exploits.Unless more favorable evidence can be produced, for example: the head of the enemy.

In fact, for a group, the military merit converted from the first level looks great, and once it is separated, it is not worth mentioning.

On the contrary, participating in a large-scale battle that affects the fate of the kingdom and even the human race, and making a certain contribution to the military can cover more members.

No matter where you are, you can't escape the essence that there are too many people.

For their own political purposes, the battle had just ended when all forces approached Hudson.

The exile faction wanted not to recognize the military merits of the resistance forces, or not to make a public statement in this regard; the resistance forces hoped that he would reward him for his merits in advance, and divide the territory before the new government was established.

Both sides were very generous, and even made a promise: After the matter is completed, Hudson himself can obtain a provincial fiefdom from the Warhammer Kingdom, and the two provinces can be negotiated.

If it wasn't for his sanity, maybe Hudson would have agreed.

In the context of the power vacuum in the Warhammer Kingdom, Hudson, as the commander of the coalition forces, is the supreme commander of the local area. In theory, he can act as the power of the king and the government.

Being capable does not mean being able to do it, and it is always a taboo to act as a monarch.Not only his own king will be unhappy, but all the veteran nobles will also feel jealous.

If there is a big commotion, it will attract the hostility of the royal families of various countries in the mainland.Even if they really want to do it, at least they have to support a puppet king in the foreground.

If Hudson is not going to develop in the Warhammer Kingdom, even if he gets a large and fertile fief, it will be useless without a population.

A weak country has no dignity. Instead of being a powerful minister in the Warhammer Kingdom, it is better to return to the Alpha Kingdom and be a vassal, at least you don’t have to clean up the mess every day.

Who made the current Warhammer Kingdom a mess?

All other kingdoms are worried about the appearance of powerful ministers, except the Kingdom of Warhammer.Regardless of whether it is a strong monarch or a powerful minister, they are not picky now.

Without a powerful figure to balance the interests of all parties, the Warhammer Kingdom is likely to be further divided.

At least Hudson's good friend, King George said: can help neighbors take care of part of the land.

This move was also secretly supported by his own king.According to the pre-agreed conditions, Caesar IV also had a share of the expanded land of the Principality of Moxie in the Warhammer Kingdom.

Of course, as the core figure of the plan, Hudson's benefits are also indispensable.

The specific distribution ratio of the three parties: 4:2:1.

This "4" not only belongs to George alone, but also includes all the dignitaries in the Principality of Moxi.To complete this plan, the Moxi people need to devote all their efforts.

Judging from the ratio of investment to income, Caesar IV received the largest cake, and he only pulled the line once from beginning to end.

The work was done by Hudson, and Caesar IV was not deeply involved. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him.

But there is no way, who makes someone the king?
Without the participation of Caesar IV, even if the benefits were shared, Hudson would have no way to eat them.

The interest share is small, but the royal family is responsible for the coordination of the territory.The meat obtained from the Warhammer Kingdom was transferred to the interior of the Kingdom.

According to the plan, after the war, the Principality of Moxi will transfer part of the land bordering the kingdom to the queen's name as an increased "dowry"; Hudson will receive the royal family's territory in the southeastern province.

The specifics still depend on the income situation. Generally speaking, the more meat the Principality of Moxi eats, the bigger the cake the royal family gets, and the more compensation Hudson can get.

Against this background, the plans of the two camps of the Warhammer Kingdom are doomed to fail.

It is even more impossible to reconcile the contradictions between the two parties.If they don't become chaotic, how can the Principality of Moxi continue to expand? If the Principality of Moxi cannot expand smoothly, how will Master Hudson's income be guaranteed after the war?
In order to clear the way for the expansion of the Principality of Moxi, Hudson was also worried.

If it wasn't for worrying about arousing the vigilance of all parties, he would have wanted to let the Moxi army take over the cities in various places in the name of the coalition command.

The wanton takeover of the city did not happen, but on the main strategic grounds, there were scenes of assistance in defense.

"Raquel, according to the current plan, the progress is really too slow.

It is impossible for the expeditionary force to be stationed in the Warhammer Kingdom for a long time, and you still have to rely on yourself in the future.The excuse to defend against the counterattack of the Ancient Remnants Alliance can only fool them temporarily.

In fact, the elves are now determined to go south to rescue the alien alliance, and it is impossible to let the Southern Expeditionary Army return north.

After the army goes south and enters the central continent, the major factions in the Warhammer Kingdom will definitely ask you to return the city.

If there is friction because of this, it will not be good for us if it leads to the Human Race Alliance. "

Hudson said with a headache.

It was all caused by information asymmetry. I thought that after being baptized by the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants, there should not be many living people in the Warhammer Kingdom.

It never occurred to me that these alien races were unreliable.When destroying the ruling foundation of the Warhammer Kingdom, so many fish that slipped through the net were left behind.

It is easy to deal with the nobles in exile, just put on their hats.The lord is responsible for guarding the land, and if he is thrown in the territory to lead the people to run away, he can directly deprive him of his noble status.

However, the resistance forces remaining there are different. Even if the city is lost, they are still resisting.If the responsibility is pursued, the meaning of targeting will be too obvious.

"Marshal, we have really tried our best. Now all I have in my hands are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than that of these local miscellaneous armed forces.

If he suddenly turned his face, he might be powerless to control the Warhammer Kingdom.Of course, if the Expeditionary Force can help..."

Before Raquel could finish speaking, Hudson immediately interrupted: "Get rid of this unrealistic idea as soon as possible, it is impossible for the expeditionary force to intervene in this matter.

Otherwise, when the benefits are distributed after the war, it's up to the kingdom to take the lead, so what's the matter with you?

Even if you want to turn your face, you can't do it now, you have to wait for the expeditionary force to withdraw.

I want you to speed up, not for you kid to stab Lou.In many cases, solving a problem does not necessarily have to be aimed at the problem itself, but also the person who created the problem.

Guiding these resistance armed forces and exile nobles to fight is just one of the means.A better way is to turn the enemy into one of our own.

At present, more than half of the resistance forces in various places are led by civilians. Although many of them are descendants of nobles, they are civilians without titles.

What this means, you should be very clear! "

Abandoning the kingdom and cooperating with the Principality of Moxi in private is essentially for profit.

There is no way, participating in the game as an individual, Hudson can get one-seventh of the cake.

If he pulls Wang Guo into the arena, not to mention the international conflicts that will be caused, even if he really grabs a big piece of cake, how much can he get?

Two dots, or three dots?
It is impossible to have more. There are so many nobles in the kingdom, and everyone has contributed.

The essence of this war is that everyone is ordered, and Hudson is the commander.After sacrificing a large number of noble officers and soldiers, they won the final victory. When dividing the spoils, they cannot be thrown away.

The best way is for the kingdom to go north with all its strength, go to the northern prairie to compete with the orcs for the chassis, and compensate all parties with the benefits of the feud.

Things about the Warhammer Kingdom will become private affairs.If you fail, you bear the risk yourself, and you keep the benefits in your own pocket.

Even if the nobles in the country are in trouble, the royal family will also share the pressure.Without concrete evidence, how can the combination of "king + marshal" fail?

"Marshal, do you mean that the Principality grants them titles in exchange for their allegiance?"

Raquel exclaimed.

Not impossible, but very possible.It is not easy for commoners to become nobles, especially this kind of large-scale group crossing classes.

Before becoming aristocrats, ordinary civilians were loyal to the lord, and the obligation of the lord to flee automatically disappeared.

There is nothing wrong with jurisprudence in re-selecting the allegiance of the monarch, and no one will criticize them for betrayal, and there is no pressure from public opinion.

If the Principality of Moxi extended an olive branch, [-]% of the civilians would not be able to resist the temptation to become nobles.Even if the leader refuses to agree, the people below who want to make progress will help him make a decision.

Now that there is no monarch in the Warhammer Kingdom, no one has the right to confer noble lords before the king ascends the throne.

Even if it is discovered by the nobles of the Warhammer Kingdom, the conditions they can offer are nothing more than - retainers.

If there are choices, everyone will definitely be willing to directly serve the monarch, instead of acting as retainers of the great nobles and letting people make a difference in the middle.

"Viscount Raquel, I didn't say anything. What you want to do is your country's internal affairs. As a foreign minister, you have no right to interfere."

Hudson said without changing his expression.

He didn't dare to admit this kind of proposal that risked the dissatisfaction of the world.Otherwise, after returning to the kingdom, he would not be able to mix well in the noble circle.

If he hadn't seen George's audacity, Hudson would not have given such advice.

If you have too many debts, you can even pay off your debts with inherited knowledge. It is not a big deal to confer a group of commoners into nobles.
