Chapter 565 The Fall of Port Saintes

The proposal was rejected, and Hudson didn't feel the slightest wave in his heart.The military and political powers seized it, and it would be a ghost if Caesar IV could agree.

Raising the issue of logistics at this moment is mainly to ring the alarm bells for several ministers in the DPRK and China.If the government cannot do a good job of coordinating and ensuring the logistics of the front line, he, the commander-in-chief, will personally intervene.

If it really develops to the point where the military needs to intervene in person, it will kill people.According to the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom, during the orc invasion, whoever lags behind will die.

After the episode, Caesar IV held back his anger.At the critical moment of taking power, the orc jumped out to dismantle the stage, and the knife directly stabbed him in the ribs.

Deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly regret it.If he had known that the orcs would invade so soon, he would have endured it for a few more years.

Now is a war period, when the military has the strongest say.The prime minister and the minister of war resigned at the same time, leaving no one in the court who could restrain Hudson.

Although the prestige of the substitute prime minister, Marquis Delgado, is good, his major is finance and he is a pure civil servant.

For Caesar IV, who wanted to control the government, he needed a prime minister who was not strong, and he was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Once you have enjoyed the benefits of political power, you should not embarrass others by carrying a knife to kill someone.

The substitute Minister of Military Affairs, Earl Aikman, was even more embarrassed. He came from the Ministry of Government Affairs and had no foundation in the army at all.

Don't say it's to check and balance Hudson. He hasn't even smoothed out the mess inside the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The lack of strength of the Minister of Military Affairs is undoubtedly the loss of power in the general to Hudson.Whether it is personnel appointments or large-scale army transfers, he, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, cannot be spared.

The ministers in the court were not strong enough, forcing Caesar IV to end the game himself.As a king, he has already lost from the moment he stepped off the field.

Fortunately, Hudson saved him face and didn't let him down.Otherwise, if there is a wave of slamming, the screen will explode.

There is no cure for regrets in the world, and political matters are always irreversible.It is easy to let a minister leave his post, but it is not easy to invite him back.

If it is really restored to the original political ecology, then the king Caesar IV will almost be emptied.

In addition to waiting for someone to give up their position when they are old, it is not a little bit more difficult to drive someone out of power.

In politics, this kind of behavior of slapping oneself in the face will definitely cause the monarch's prestige to plummet.

Even if Caesar IV didn't mind his reputation, the group of cronies who followed him would not agree.

Hudson is not domineering enough to make Caesar IV desperate, but the unbalanced power structure still gives him a headache.

In the past, I didn’t think Hudson was an eyesore, it was because of the distance between the two sides.Unless the king notifies a meeting, Hudson will not appear in the royal capital.

Distance produces beauty.

The powerful ministers who don't show up are definitely not as obtrusive as the powerful ministers who dangle in front of them every day.Caesar IV realized the importance of checks and balances when he took action against the powerful officials in the court.

In this regard, Hudson, as the protagonist, is also helpless.

Some things, knowing that there will be sequelae, must be done.

The coach must have the responsibility of the coach, and he cannot ignore his own responsibilities just because he cares about the king's feelings.

The military meeting ended, and Hudson returned to the front line immediately.Just because the Orc Empire isn't at its peak doesn't mean it's easy to bully.

If the enemy took advantage of his absence and made a surprise move, that would be a troublesome matter.

Returning to the land of the Near East again, the smell of gunpowder and smoke of war has become so strong that it is about to condense into substance.

Unlike the two previous wars, except for a few people who have doubts on the front line at this moment, most officers and soldiers are eager to try.

Obviously, the continuous victory has diluted everyone's fear of the orcs.

Now everyone is full of confidence and wants to make contributions in the war.

Especially those pioneering nobles who were forced to give up their land and carry out strategic contraction were more eager.

Everyone's investment in the early stage is to take the lead in the new round of war.

Those who participate in the development are all led by the great nobles in the kingdom, and their strength is self-evident.

If the war hadn't erupted too quickly, they hadn't yet gained a firm foothold in the local area, and there was no need for strategic contraction.

Wealth is in danger!
There are not many opportunities that a person can encounter in his life.Once an opportunity is missed, no one wants to miss it a second time.

Everyone is so enthusiastic, Hudson will naturally not pour cold water.

Passively became the leader of the main combat faction, and Hudson did not let everyone down.Both the Xueyue Land and the Mountain Land Lands were mobilized, and the original [-] standing troops in the land suddenly swelled to [-].

The originally bloated army of officers suddenly became normal.The military cadets who had just graduated had just joined the army, and they were directly transferred from a deputy to a full-time job.

You can tell by looking at the momentum that this is going to be a big fight.

The great nobles from all over the country did not give way too much, and the number of troops expanded rapidly.

Although the front line can't accommodate so many troops at once, everyone's ambitions are lofty, and many people have already begun to plan what will happen after the destruction of the orc empire.

The intellectuals began to worry about the intervention of alien alliances.

The staff department created by Hudson has already formulated a contingency plan for the intervention of the alien alliance.

The "Northern Border Defense Plan", "Southern Border Defense Plan", and "Western Border Defense Plan" have been released one after another. Except for the orc prairie going east, the remaining areas are all defense-oriented.

You can tell at a glance that this is a strong alpha feature.If there was no blood feud, he would definitely not be ready to fight the orcs as soon as he came up.

Looking at the map on the wall, Hudson began to look for a solution to the situation.

……

"Marshal, there is a pig outside asking for an interview. It is said that there is important news to report to you."

Upon hearing the news, Hudson's first reaction was that he was hallucinating. When did a creature like Pig become qualified to send him a message?

"Important news" is also a relative term.

What is a matter of life and death in Pig's eyes may become a trivial matter when it comes to him.

Perhaps aware of Hudson's displeasure, No. [-] hastily added: "Pig outside brought us a token of communication with the tauren.

We have communicated with him, and he provided a lot of information, but he kept silent about the intention of coming, and insisted on meeting you in person! "

The Pig family is not qualified to be in Hudson's eyes, but the Tauren family is different.As the big clan in the orc empire and at the forefront, they still have chips in their hands to discuss cooperation.

In the past days, the two sides got along very well, and everyone made a fortune in smuggling trade together.

"Bring him in!"

Hudson said casually.

Originally, he was ready to strike first, and planned to clear the orc tribe on the border before the orc army arrived.

If the Tauren family knew the current situation and were willing to serve as his shadow son in the orc empire, then it would be fine to let them go.

Military gains come second, and the key is political influence.

A powerful empire will only collapse from within, not be crushed by external enemies!

It is easy to defeat the orc empire, but it is difficult to destroy the orc empire.If it is time for life and death, all races of orcs can work together.

A united orc empire can explode in combat power, which is definitely several times higher than it is now.

In the face of absolute strength, any plan is secondary.Hudson didn't want to be pushed back by the enemy when he was advancing.

In recent years, the kingdom's intelligence organization has been looking for partners within the orc empire.

It is a pity that the racial hatred is too deep, and the two sides lack basic mutual trust.Even if a large family wants to change their situation, they dare not easily cooperate with the Alpha Kingdom.

If the tauren family is willing to cooperate, Hudson will definitely not mind helping them.

Anyway, the ultimate goal is to split the orc empire, no matter who is in power.

However, before the plan is implemented, the living space of the orcs must be compressed and the relationship between the various races must be provoked.

After all, once the suppression of the imperial court is lost, the speed of free development of all ethnic groups will definitely be much faster than it is now.

Hudson can tolerate multiple ethnic groups on the prairie, but he will never allow one family to dominate.

……

Lutetia Palace, Charles III, ascended the throne, has passed the high-spirited stage.

The emergence of the intervening coalition forces made the new emperor feel the pressure.

Although preparations had been made in advance, the fierce reactions of various countries were beyond expectations.

Those who thought they would be neutral have now joined the anti-French alliance one after another.Even the loyal younger brother of the Frankish Kingdom is flirting with the Anti-French Alliance at this moment.

Being reduced to a lonely family overnight, even the most powerful country in the mainland can't help but feel a little worried.

Fortunately, the previous plans in the northern continent and the central continent were successful, and the five-nation alliance, which was owed a favor, only symbolically condemned it and did not follow suit and join the anti-French alliance.

This humble response did not change the predicament faced by the Frankish Kingdom militarily, but it saved the Frankish Kingdom politically.

"Being hostile to the countries of the Southern Continent" and "hostile to the countries of the human race" are completely different concepts.

An anti-French alliance that cannot represent the entire human race is a dispute between human race forces, which has not risen to the level of race.

"These guys are restless. It seems that we have been silent for too long, so that everyone thinks that our knives are not good!"

While speaking, Charles III threw the official document on the ground.

The murderous declaration fully revealed the arrogance of the most powerful country on the mainland.

Even if he wanted to make enemies with the countries in the Southern Continent, Charles III did not have the slightest fear, let alone the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the anti-French coalition seems to be powerful, but internally it is doing its own thing.

The cooperation between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Iberia is just a loud slogan. There are still serious differences between the two sides in terms of specific implementation, and other countries also have their own calculations.

Everyone fantasizes that others will contribute, and they will sit back and enjoy the benefits.

This is our chance!

At this moment, the enemy army is attacking from three directions, seemingly echoing each other, but in fact there are fighter planes everywhere, I propose to attack the Holy See from the sea and attack directly..."

Minister of Military Affairs Earl Firth's god-turning proposal startled everyone.With so much laying the groundwork ahead, I thought I was going to attack all the way, but I never thought that his real target was the Holy See headquarters.

War is all about surprise.What everyone can think of, the enemy can also think of.

Although the Frankish Empire was powerful, it was not strong enough to rival the entire Southern Continent.Intercepting three routes of enemy troops at the same time obviously has no chance of winning. The best option is to attack one of them.

Under the foreseeable circumstances, the enemy will certainly be prepared.Even if they concentrate their main force to attack all the way, it will be difficult to win in a short time.

On the contrary, the proposal of the Minister of Military Affairs is more practical.It is naturally difficult for the enemy to predict things that the family can't think of.

At this moment, most of the main force of the Holy See is interfering with the coalition forces, and the interior happens to be the emptiest time.The main force of the navy guarding the sea was wiped out in the misty sea a few years ago, and it is still in the process of recovery.

The navy is weak, so naturally it cannot stop the landing of the Frankish army.As long as the army appears on the peninsula, regardless of whether the Holy See can be destroyed, the political goal has been achieved.

For the safety of the lair, the Holy See must withdraw its troops from the front line and return to the headquarters whether it wants to or not.

Without the great enemy of the Holy See, the subsequent battles will be easier to fight.Singled out the Kingdom of Iberia and a group of fools, the balance of war has been tilted over.

"it is good!

Soldiers are precious and fast, and the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately dispatched a partial division to raid the Holy See from the sea.

It's best to take down the holy mountain, even if you can't take it down, I still want to scare that old Pius VII. "

Charles III immediately made a decision.

He disliked the Holy See for more than a day or two.It's just that both of them are top powers, and there are other countries in between. It's hard to predict the outcome of an expedition by provoking a war without permission.

It never occurred to him that when he proclaimed himself emperor, the Holy See would react so excitedly and directly dispatch the main force.

Needless to say, since the fighter plane was sent to the door by the enemy himself, then this battle must be fought.

How can killing chickens to warn monkeys be as effective as killing monkeys to warn chickens?
Being able to step on the Holy See, all the legitimacy is there.If you really can’t find the legal source, then make it up yourself.

The main focus is one: the strong prey on the weak!

……

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The sound of roaring artillery fire resounded through Saintes Harbor.

The port, which had been peaceful for countless years, was attacked by foreign enemies for the first time in thousands of years, and the defenders showed extraordinary slowness.

The warships staying in the port became the first wave of victims.Countless officers and soldiers are still asleep, and their warships have already sunk under the sound of enemy artillery fire.

"Enemy attack!"

When the siren sounded, the enemy's artillery attack had been going on for half an hour.The infrastructure of the port is undergoing the most severe test since its construction.

The garrison of Saintes Port, who was belatedly aware, rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep, and then there was a burst of shouting in his ears.

"The enemy has landed!"

Upon receiving this news, the already flustered defenders became even more frightened.

"Guards, hurry up and send the order down, let the defenders organize a counterattack!"

The guard gave the order in a panic.

It's a pity that Saintes Port, which has been peaceful for countless years, has long become the cradle of gilded relationship households, and there are very few truly capable people.

Encountered with such a sudden crisis at this moment, these N-generations have long been panicked. They wish their parents had a few more legs so they can run around, so they don't care about organizing a counterattack!

The more capable an officer is, the faster he can escape at this moment.It's not that they have no backbone, it's mainly because they know their "comrades" too well.

The more you know, the less confidence you have to win.

Running away, it is indeed possible to be liquidated after the war, but that is after winning the war.

If he stays where he is and organizes his subordinates to resist, he may be killed by his teammates before the Holy See can liquidate it.

"kill……"

"kill……"

The continuous shouts of killing put heavy pressure on the defenders.Except for a few officers who stood up and organized their subordinates to fight back, more officers and soldiers chose to escape in panic.

On the pier, under the command of the officers, countless Frankish soldiers lined up to go ashore in an orderly manner.

There was no intention of staying in the slightest. After stepping on land, the officers and soldiers immediately threw themselves into the war.

Officers and soldiers continued to pour in, and the already chaotic port defense line was quickly overwhelmed.

As the victor, Marquis Sunil, the moment he set foot on land, his whole body floated, and it always felt a bit unreal.

It was really unexpected that the well-known Saintes Port on the continent of Aslant was captured so easily.

Stimulated by the victory, he who was still apprehensive about attacking the Holy See suddenly became full of confidence at this moment.

Deep in his heart, Marquis Sunil couldn't help expressing emotion: "It seems that the corruption of the Holy See is even worse than we expected!
If such a Holy See does not fall, it is simply unreasonable! "

Tucao return to Tucao, he is still not lacking in awe.There are three catties of nails on a rotten ship, not to mention the Chenxi Holy See, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

The current success is due to the internal decay of the Holy See. The defenders are filled with a large number of well-connected people, and most of them have caught the enemy by surprise.

But as long as the enemy's vigilance is higher and a main army is placed here, today's battle is absolutely impossible to be so easy.

While patrolling the battlefield, Marquis Sunil frowned when facing the hostile eyes of the residents.

As a religious organization, the interior of the Holy See may be rotten, but there is still no shortage of devout believers
His intuition told him that as long as there was an opportunity, these followers of the Holy See would turn into wild wolves and launch the most violent attack on them.
