The King

  Chapter 285 Hashi's scheme

  Canglan City, Emerald Palace.

  The continuous war has brought heavy pressure to the Alpha Kingdom. Although the domestic war has been extinguished, military spending remains high.

  It is not easy to be a host. The food, drink and toilets of the reinforcements must be provided by the host. The little assistance given by the Terran Alliance is less than 20% of the real expenses.

  Millions of troops have been busy on the front line for more than half a year, and they did one thing - build a defense line, and domestic criticism gradually increased.

   It’s not that everyone is deliberately finding fault, it’s because the expenses on the front line are too huge, which has brought heavy pressure on the kingdom’s finances.

  Even if a large amount of funds were raised through the issuance of war bonds, it is almost swallowed up by the war now.

   "What did the Earl of Hudson say?"

   Caesar III asked concerned.

   It has become the consensus of the kingdom to end this war as soon as possible. But when it comes to specific operations, we still have to watch the performances of the frontline coaches.

   "Your Majesty, Earl Hudson believes that the reinforcements gathered at the front line can already launch an attack on the Orc Empire.

   It's just that the communication on the front line is not smooth, and there are many contradictions among the major forces, which has brought great trouble to the coordination work.

   In particular, the coalition forces lack a unified command structure, and the major forces maintain a high degree of independence, so it is difficult to convince all forces at the same time.

  He suggested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strengthen communication with the Terran Alliance Parliament and form a coalition command to promote the progress of the war! "

  As soon as the words of the Minister of Military Affairs, Grand Duke Efiero, immediately aroused a lot of discussion among the people.

   Difficult communication and inconvenient command are the persistent problems of the coalition forces. There were no problems that could be solved in previous wars, and naturally they should not be solved easily now.

  Caesar III was also in a difficult situation. The Marquis James, who is currently in charge of the communication work on the front line, is a confidant he single-handedly promoted.

   I have always been conscientious in my work, but many times it is not hard work that can be rewarded. If the major forces do not buy it, there is nothing he can do.

  Similar to distressed letters, Caesar III has received many letters in the past six months.

  Being the boss doesn't like the younger brother complaining when he encounters difficulties, but there is one exception, that is, when encountering difficulties that cannot be solved.

   Complaining about suffering, at least it proves that we are still working hard. If you don't even complain about suffering, it's purely bad.

  Emperors of the kingdom have not been able to solve historical problems. It is obviously difficult for the generals on the front line to solve the problem.

  The coalition forces lack a unified command, which is essentially a political problem. All parties cannot agree politically, and it is even more difficult to keep consistent militarily.

   "Don't look at me like this, in order to coordinate the relationship with all parties, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already broken its legs.

  In order to get reinforcements from all sides in place as soon as possible, we have used all means. Now it involves military command power, which is really beyond the competence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

  Even if all parties are willing to let go of their prejudices, it will not be our turn to be the final commander of the coalition forces. Introduce an uncontrollable commander to dominate this war, the situation may not be better than it is now! "

   Earl Francis retorted mercilessly.

  Diplomacy is not a panacea, it is essentially a game of interests. The coalition forces do not have a unified command system, and the core reason is that they cannot agree on interests.

  For most human nations, the threat of the orc empire is too illusory.

  Willing to help, it is for the sake of the righteousness of the human race, wanting the command of the army-no way!

   "Your Majesty, what Earl Francis said is not unreasonable. Even we ourselves are unwilling to hand over the command of the army to others, let alone other forces?

  It is better to follow the old rules, and all combat plans are implemented after discussion and approval by all parties. If the dispute persists, it will be reported to the Human Race Alliance Council for a ruling! "

  The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said with a look of embarrassment.

  A typical bad idea, but it is the only way to solve the problem right now. How can we get everyone to work **** the battlefield without first convincing all parties?

   "If there is no better choice, then do this! Earl Hudson, please pay attention to work.

  Young people tend to be impulsive. At this critical moment, you can't make trouble! "

  Caesar III said in low spirits.

  The uncontrollable situation is always the king's most annoying thing. Now that he has come to this step again, it really does not make him happy.

  …

  Bloodmoon Castle, the castle guarded by the human race that fell to the hands of the orcs eighty years ago, reappeared on the land of Northern Xinjiang.

  The overall shape and layout are almost the same as the original ancient castle, but the position between the old and new castles is different by four or five hundred miles.

  Hudson played the role of a supervisor as usual, patrolling the construction site from time to time, proving to the outside world that he, the coach, is not just idle.

   "Your Excellency, there is an urgent message from the capital!"

  Hearing the panting voice of the guard, Hudson frowned. Recently, the front line has been calm.

  If the orcs hadn't settled down, he wouldn't have time to spare and went to inspect the construction site. On the surface, they are inspecting the speed of defense line construction, but in fact they are traveling all the way.

   In terms of the importance attached to the quality of the project, the deputy coach, the Duke of Cavadia, is more concerned than the coach. The only difference is that the project is spent on food and lodging every day.

   Not only the Duke of Kavadia, but all the nobles in northern Xinjiang showed great enthusiasm.

   If it fails to meet the requirements, it will immediately order rework without any hesitation. If the progress can't be kept up, even if the personal guards in hand help, they are not willing to sacrifice the quality of the project.

   Just because of the seriousness of this loyalty to the king, Hudson changed his previous prejudice against them.

   Maybe the northern Xinjiang nobles have various problems, but they are definitely not Liaodong generals who are bent on making money.

   After receiving the urgent letter and scanning it, Hudson was slightly taken aback. Secretly guessed: Is my plan to dump the pot, has this been seen through?

   As of now, the second batch of reinforcements from the Terran Alliance has reached 500,000 people one after another. Adding the previous 300,000, it is now as high as 800,000.

  Together with the 200,000 troops of the Moxi Principality, the 30,000 troops gathered by the Warhammer Kingdom, and the 700,000 troops of the Alpha Kingdom on the front line.

  Blood Moon Castle has gathered more than 1.7 million troops. Even if the 600,000 troops in the Northern Three Kingdoms Army are deducted, there are still 1.1 million elites, enough to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Orc Empire.

   The delay in taking action, the biggest problem is that the relationship within the alliance has not been coordinated. To put it simply: all major forces are worried that they will suffer losses and others will take advantage.

   Each of them wanted to wait until all the reinforcements from the alliance arrived, and then set off against the orc empire together. Otherwise, it would be too much of a disadvantage if the troops who came first took the lead and the reinforcements followed suit.

  Seeing the essence of the problem, Hudson did not rush to solve it, but threw the trouble to the capital.

   It is still the fault of age. A 20-year-old army coach is very eye-catching. If he behaves too outstandingly, it will cause too much hatred.

  In terms of military affairs, Hudson did not dare to collapse, so he could only be slow in handling complicated diplomatic relations.

  After all the communication work was thrown to Marquis James, Hudson stopped asking, and let him toss the whole process.

  Facts have proved that Caesar III still has some vision in employing people. Under the efforts of Marquis James, there were no major achievements and no disturbances.

   It may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually very powerful. As a military general, he can coordinate the relationship between hundreds of forces, and he is a proper military socialite.

  Everything is too much. If it was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ability of Marquis James would definitely be very good, but it is different in the army.

  While being too communicative, it also makes people think that he is too hypocritical, good at drilling and sycophant.

  Especially in the position he held before, he had to report to Caesar III from time to time, so his reputation in the army would naturally not be high.

   "Tom, send someone to invite Marquis James to discuss matters. Your Excellency the Duke, you should also read the urgent letter from the capital!"

   While speaking, Hudson had already handed the letter to the Duke of Cavadia.

  The coach and the deputy coach check and balance each other, but it doesn't mean that everyone will fight to the death, especially when encountering a coach like Hudson who is good at decentralizing power, it makes people lose their temper.

   People are realistic. After leaving the most important defense task to the Duke of Cavadia, the northern nobles who were originally hostile to Hudson were left with the Lochnard family.

  Hundreds of construction sites, big and small, are under construction at the same time. Duke Kavadia is so busy every day that he never leaves the ground, and there is no time for infighting.

  The same method is also applicable to Marquis James. Fighting wits and bravery with major forces every day is already exhausting, and there is no time to study internal fighting at all.

  It is impossible to be idle. Even if the front line is fine, Hudson can make things happen. For example: Occasionally plan a multinational joint operation, an in-depth attack on the orc empire.

  Multinational joint action is required, and Marquis James, who is in charge of coordinating relations, will be busy soon.

   It is impossible for the Orc Empire to do things without being familiar with the situation. The work pressure of the Duke of Kavadia also needs to be passive +1.

   Don't fantasize about refusing, and seek his own affairs in his place. All the tasks assigned by Hudson were unavoidable within the scope of their duties.

  Everyone is very busy, and the conflicts and conflicts between them are invisible.

   "Your Excellency, judging from the meaning of the letter, the patience of the capital has been exhausted, and they want to launch a full-scale counterattack.

   It's just the core issue of command authority, and there is no sign of it being resolved. According to the king's capital, the next battle will probably be quarrelsome. "

   Duke Cavadia frowned and said.

   Those who are close to the water get the moon first. The kingdom's border moved northward, and the most direct beneficiaries were the nobles of northern Xinjiang.

   Not only have the opportunity to expand the fief, but also let their lair change from a dangerous battlefield to a safe hinterland of the kingdom.

  The common interests made the northern nobles gradually change from opposing Hudson to cooperation.

  Of course, the good reputation earned by dispatching troops in time to find people regardless of personal gains and losses also played a big role in bonus.

   "Wait for Marquis James to come over, let's discuss it first, and then resolve it!"

   Hudson said without changing his face.

  In order to enhance his authority, he did not use less means. The biggest change is that the previous joint meeting of senior military officers has become a three-person meeting.

   Fewer people participated in the meeting, and the conflicts of interest involved were also greatly reduced. As long as their own interests are not involved, the three of them can basically handle problems objectively and fairly.

  If someone below dares to make trouble on purpose, they will challenge the common authority of the three, and naturally they will be jointly suppressed.
