king.

Chapter 508 Famous Scene

In the Emerald Palace, the five-nation alliance negotiations have reached a deadlock again, and Caesar IV only feels his head is big.

The small actions of the Franks lobbying the important ministers of the kingdom did not hide from his eyes.This kind of interference in the internal affairs of the kingdom is taboo in front of any monarch.

What's worse is that in the kingdom, there are still some big nobles who were persuaded by the Franks and kept putting pressure on the kingdom government, hoping to form an alliance with the three countries of the mainland as soon as possible.

Filled with anger, Caesar IV endured it.The Alpha Kingdom does not have the capital to turn against the Franks now, and the Five Nations Alliance cannot be easily abandoned.

With the overall framework of the two sides consistent, there are some flaws in the details, and he can only pretend not to see them.

"Have you figured it out? Do the three countries in mainland China have the sincerity to form an alliance with us?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.

The decision makers of all countries are human beings. Since they are human beings, it is impossible to be 100% rational.

In many cases, the most correct choice is not the final choice.Any falling snowflake can trigger an avalanche.The factor that ultimately affects the decision-making is likely to be a small snowflake.

The need to form an alliance and the sincerity to form an alliance seem to be one, but many times they run counter to each other.

There are many people, and there are many right and wrong.

With so many people in the three countries in mainland China, there must be some who oppose the alliance.Although there is no decision-making that can influence the kingdom, it is always possible to delay.

Unless the governments of the three countries can make up their minds and promote an alliance at all costs, they will inevitably be kidnapped by domestic public opinion on the issue of compensation.

"Your Majesty, there are still three sincere governments, but the price they are willing to pay is really not much.

The opposition forces in the three countries are not small. Out of concerns about the international situation, these guys believe that the five-nation alliance will cause dissatisfaction among the countries in the southern continent. With the support of the ethnic alliance, the alliance of the three countries in the mainland is enough to deal with the current situation.

Especially when it comes to compensation, these guys have a particularly fierce attitude, blatantly declaring that this is betraying the interests of the country.

This is an internal issue of the three countries, and it is inconvenient for us to directly intervene. "

Foreign Minister Earl Francis said helplessly.

The matter of the five-nation alliance has already caused a lot of trouble in the world.The secret negotiation that was originally agreed, was directly exposed by these opposition parties.

The final outcome is: except for the Frankish Kingdom who is willing to support the alliance of the five countries, the remaining powers in the Southern Continent collectively express their opposition.

With the support of international public opinion, the arrogance of the opponents of the alliance naturally rose, making the alliance faction in a state of desperation.

It is not only the three countries that are in trouble, but even a group of people in the Alpha Kingdom oppose the alliance, especially against helping the three countries in the mainland to complete military reforms.

The opposition believes that the three countries in China have a solid foundation. Once the military reform is completed, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds, which will pose a threat to the kingdom.

These objections are well-founded. Before the outbreak of the Continental War, the ambitions of the three countries in Central China to move northward were exposed.

If the alien alliance is really defeated, it is entirely conceivable how bad the relationship between the future kingdom and the three countries of the mainland will be.

You can't just do things like raising tigers for the sake of temporary benefits.

Facing the theoretically sound opposition, Caesar IV could only do ideological work in person, and guaranteed that he would have reservations about the military support of the three countries in China.

The fact that the Alpha Kingdom can barely appease the opposition does not mean that the three countries in China can also do it.The current three-nation government is a mess internally.

I can't figure out the internal problems of my own family, so the progress of the negotiation will naturally not go smoothly.Coupled with the impact of the international situation, it cast a shadow over the negotiations.

"If the progress is not going well, then let's wait for a while!
Once the Holy See and the Franks are at odds, and there is no energy to continue to suppress the dwarves, the three countries of the Central Mainland will face the threat of the four major alien races at the same time.

(Dwarves, Stonemen, Three-eyed, Trolls)

Based on their performance in the Continental War, they can deal with at most three of them now.The alliance of the four great alien races would be a catastrophe for the Three Kingdoms.

Time is on our side.The Orc Empire is still busy with the civil war. Even if it is over, internal problems will trouble them for a while.

As long as the elves don't get involved, the current orc empire will not be able to kill the kingdom! "

Caesar IV said indifferently.

Obviously, his patience has been exhausted.For the five-nation alliance, Caesar IV has made a lot of efforts.

However, the ending was unexpected, and the alliance, which was thought to be smooth sailing, turned into a tug-of-war, which made Caesar IV very embarrassed in front of his officials.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The Franks have already taken action, and they are unable to make a breakthrough in the kingdom. Their public relations focus will inevitably shift to the three countries in the mainland.

It may not be long before the situation changes again.After all, if Charles III wanted to become emperor, he also needed support.

They took the initiative to bring our five countries to form an alliance to jointly fight against the threat of alien races. It is fair for our five families to recognize the legitimacy of their empire! "

The prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, said with a smile.

There is no love and hate for no reason in the world, and the Franks worked hard to bring together the five countries to form an alliance, so naturally they need to be rewarded.

Containing alien alliances is one aspect of seeking supporters, and it is also an important factor.

If you want to build an empire, platooning is bound to be indispensable.It is unknown whether the younger brothers of the Frankish Kingdom dare to come out and stand in the face of collective opposition from all the nations of the human race.

The five-nation alliance spanning the northern and middle continents is different.Not only is it less affected by countries in the Southern Continent, but its own strength is also not weak.

A little international pressure can't influence the decision-making of this giant at all.There will be no embarrassing scenes where you promise to be good, but suddenly turn your face when you arrive at the place.

……

Xueyueling, a new round of military conference in the Near East, kicked off under the auspices of Hudson.

Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Hudson shook his head secretly.Facts have proved that it is very necessary for the kingdom to establish governors in various provinces.

Without this level, directly calling the county guards from all over the country to hold a meeting will undoubtedly greatly reduce the efficiency.

It's a pity that the situation in the Near East is special. Except for the Xueyue Territory, the six major provinces are all in a strange state of balance.

No matter who takes the position of governor, it will break this balance and affect the stability of the situation.

At the Royal Capital Conference back then, all parties had debated around this issue, but there was no result for a while, and finally all parties reached a compromise: whoever has the highest military exploits will be the governor.

But what you look at is not the past military exploits, but the future military exploits of these noble lords.

In the past two years, the Near East has been in a state of peace, and there is no chance to fight battles. Of course, military exploits do not exist.

"Quiet!
This is not a place to reminisce about the old days. If anyone can't bear the desire to show off, please go out.

I will apply to the kingdom to relieve you of your posts, and let the family behind you send someone more suitable to serve as the sheriff. "

He said the most ruthless words in the most flat tone, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent, lest Hudson would catch him.

It is difficult to win a nobleman under normal circumstances, but the Near East is obviously not normal.

Changing the family behind him, it seems that what is lost is only the position of the county guard, but what is actually lost is his life.

The replacement of the kingdom's title cannot be resolved in a few words.If the parties do not cooperate, even the family behind them cannot forcibly interfere.

The simplest operation is that the person concerned dies, and the legal heir inherits the title and continues to serve as the sheriff.

If the heir in line is not suitable, let him give up voluntarily and be replaced by the next heir.

After the short standing ceremony ended, under the gesture of Hudson's eyes, each piece of information was distributed to each county guard.

Shocked, confused, confused, terrified...

Various emotions kept appearing on everyone's faces. The scene was really beautiful, but the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Marshal, we are not qualified to participate in these things, are we?"

Viscount Kayo asked suspiciously.

A lot of introductions to the international situation, as well as the negotiation process of the Five Nations Alliance.These materials are obviously not qualified for small and medium nobles to intervene, and even some weak and big nobles have no right to speak.

"Don't worry, I didn't let you participate, I just used it to remind everyone that the world is not peaceful.

Once the international situation changes, no one can guarantee how long the stable life in the Near East will last.

In the peace time now, let me work hard to develop production and improve the military strength of the territory, so I don't have to be idle all day with nothing to do.

As far as I know, some people have let themselves go, dancing and dancing at banquets all day long, and living a luxurious life.

With all this spare money, wouldn't it be good to invest in the territory?

Now that you have chosen to come to the Near East, you must be prepared to work hard.If you want to live a comfortable life, it's still too late to pack up your things and leave.

Work harder in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.

Since someone lacks willpower, I give them a hand.From now on: Except for weddings, funerals, and festivals, all singing and dancing banquets are prohibited in the Near East.

If there are singers and dancers, get rid of them as soon as possible.The time limit is one month, and you are responsible for the implementation.

At that time, I will send an inspection team to make an unannounced visit, and if found, all will be confiscated.The sheriff of the place involved in the case will be fined and confiscated the same amount of property!

If he was investigated more than three times in a row, the sheriff would leave immediately.The Kingdom does not support incompetent waste, and the Near East does not tolerate dereliction of duty idiots! "

As soon as Hudson's words fell to the ground, the faces of the county guards changed drastically in fright.

These regulations are really too harsh, they simply prevent nobles from living!
It's enough to complain deep in the heart, but no one dares to jump out and fight Hudson hard on the face.Although the regulations are harsh, there are precedents in the kingdom.

When it came time of war, the kingdom demanded even more behavior from the nobles.Not only were entertainment activities canceled, but even the king took the lead in obeying the food rationing system.

Most of the people present were the second sons of the family, and they ran out to start a business.

If it is something else, the family may still help out.If one is punished for being obsessed with pleasure, then a fat beating will be inevitable later on.

Although the old man in the family sings and dances all day long and has constant banquets, it does not affect their hope that their children will become dragons.

Not to mention other family members.There are so many people who are jealous of them. If they know that they are taking family resources to enjoy themselves, they must fry the pot.

It seems that the rules made by Hudson are making life difficult for a group of noble lords, but in fact, very few people feel jealous in their hearts.

After all, relatives, friends and family around them are urging them to work hard, and it is not a big deal to have another good leader who urges them to work hard.

After a brief hesitation, everyone rushed out to express their determination.Today is a military meeting, and the decision made is naturally a military order, and there is no basis for bargaining at all.

As for the order announced by Hudson himself, whether it conforms to the procedure and is legally binding is not important at all, and it must be implemented anyway.

Everyone is young, and the blood in their hearts has not been extinguished.The extravagance brought in from the outside has only just started, and it has not yet reached the point of losing everyone's minds.

All of them had a correct attitude, which made Hudson no longer want to continue to attack.It can only be said that there are still many smart people in the world, and the kind of tough people who are against the leaders because of their noble backgrounds are only a very small number of people after all.

It's useless to make a fuss. It's impossible for a big nobleman to confront the Marshal of the Kingdom for the sake of a playboy.

As long as you don't have a hatred physique, everyone will carry out orders that don't involve everyone's core interests. The only difference lies in the degree of emphasis.

Maybe everyone doesn't care whether the nobles under the rule obey the rules, but they will definitely care about their position.

The position of sheriff is not Chinese cabbage for them to sit in for a meeting, and the families behind them have spent their political resources.If this investment is in vain, peeling off the skin will be inevitable when you go back.

"Forget it, since you are all aware of the problem. Today I will save everyone's face, and I will not call names for the time being.

How to implement it, I don't care so much, anyway, I only look at the final result.If you can't control the people below, go home as soon as possible to hold the baby!

Next, let's move on to the next topic, the expanded training of the reserves.

These kingdoms have also been engaged in, and I think you all have the impression.The situation is similar this time, except that the group of people receiving training has expanded slightly.

In view of the special conditions in the Near East, all civilians must receive the necessary combat training.It's just that the training content is different. In addition to combat experience, everyone also needs to learn to fortify the wall and clear the field.

To put it simply, it is to train how to drive the livestock into the city as quickly as possible and how to harvest crops in the shortest time when the orcs invade.

During the evacuation process, it is necessary to ensure the safety of property and personnel, but also not to leave food and supplies to the enemy.

......"

During Hudson's lecturing, a well-written "Fortified Wall and Clearing the Wilderness Plan" was also distributed to a group of county guards.

The specific effect needs to be tested in actual combat, but it is definitely better to pull the people out to train a few times than to implement it in a hurry without any experience.

The meeting ended within one day, and the "efficiency" was fully explained.

Hudson neither asked everyone to make a plan, nor asked all parties to come up with a training plan, it all relied on everyone's subjective initiative.

This is also a characteristic of the times. In an era when the level of knowledge is generally low, it is good to be able to carry out orders. Asking for more will only be a bad thing.

If there is a problem, it will be solved later according to the actual situation.Anyway, as long as you are doing something, problems will happen sooner or later.

……

"Your Excellency, Governor Pierce has sent you a letter."

Just after the meeting ended, I received this message.Hudson opened the letter casually and looked at it, his face turned green.

Conscience of heaven and earth, when did he spread "inherited knowledge" everywhere?

Even if you have that idea in your heart, you don't have the ability to implement it!
At most, he only has a little bit of responsibility, and according to the size of the responsibility, he only has a few percentage points at most.

It's just a proposal. There are probably tens of thousands of wonderful proposals that are produced every day across the continent.

It's just that Hudson was lucky, and the proposed plan happened to be adopted by the Moxi people and made a small creative fee.

It's impossible to take the blame. If it's just that inherited knowledge spreads in the southeastern provinces, Hudson can barely handle it, but this time it's a sale across the continent.

I am afraid that the Principality of Moxi may not be able to count how many people it sold to.Hudson's small body can't afford such a big event that affects the continental structure.

Crushing the letter into shreds, Hudson immediately wrote a reply letter.The responsibility must be pushed cleanly. If you can't sell the Principality of Moxi, you can only let those nobles who died in the war be blamed.

Under normal circumstances, code words are added to the inheritance knowledge of major families, but there are exceptions after all.

For example: the children of later generations use genuine copies when they study.

Generally speaking, the elders pass it on by word of mouth, but after all, there are some others who like to record things on paper.

If you happen to get these things, it's entirely possible.Anyway, the cultivation methods of the little nobles in the southeastern provinces are also ordinary goods on the bad street.

Apart from high universality and easy learning, there are basically no other advantages.

If you want to investigate, there is no way to investigate.There are nobles who have these cultivation methods everywhere.

As for whether Governor Pierce believes it or not, it has nothing to do with Hudson.Anyway, he didn't do it, and it was impossible to find any evidence no matter how hard he searched.

Deep down, Hudson still had a tinge of joy.The spread of inherited knowledge has begun to ferment, and people who have received the inheritance are everywhere.

The base of the lower layer is already there, and the follow-up is waiting for the seeds to take root and germinate.Regardless of how big the sequelae are, at least in a short period of time, this will greatly improve the kingdom's national strength.

Perhaps when the next big eruption occurs, a big gift can be given to the orcs.After all, the breakthrough of every realm, the change of strength varies greatly.

It doesn't matter if one person changes, it will be extraordinary if a group of people transform.

Especially in the kingdom's army of pure practitioners, if everyone's cultivation level goes up a step, the strength will increase several times.

If they start fighting with the main force of the orcs again, the orcs will definitely be stunned as soon as they start the fight.Hudson was already secretly looking forward to that exciting scene.
