King

After the Kingdom Council ended, the Alpha Kingdom entered a state of war again. But the measures taken now are - only training but no mobilization.

According to the old rules, large and small legions were formed nearby based on regions to prepare for the next war.

Each county has one legion. Small counties form small legions, and large counties form large legions. The original ten-thousand-man army system was completely disrupted this time.

The smallest remote county has only four to five thousand people in a legion; the largest legion in the royal capital has more than forty thousand people.

Wright County, where Hudson is located, is also considered a large county in the Southeast Province. According to the plan, it needs to provide a large army of 20,000 people, of which the Mountain Territory will contribute half, and the other half will be its own people.

Either another branch of the Koslow family, or a younger brother who followed Hudson. All of Wright County, plus half of Wyton County, now belonged to Hudson's sphere of influence.

That's not all. The branches of the Koslow family scattered across the country are also a considerable force.

If we add them all up, it will not be difficult to draw a team of 20,000 people.

After all, everyone who went to the battlefield with Mr. Hudson and came back alive in the end had earned something.

In addition to the upstarts who went to the north to develop, the family branches that stayed in place also made considerable progress.

In addition to normal expansion, there are also many lucky people who have inherited inheritance from their in-laws.

There is no other way. Who knows that following Mr. Hudson to the battlefield will not only make it easier to gain military exploits, but also have a higher survival rate than following other commanders?

Only those who survive can be qualified to talk about development.

The most important factor for Hudson to successfully become the head of the family and suppress the elders in the major branches was that he brought substantial benefits to everyone.

If, like some prodigal sons, they take their family to the front line, the whole army will be destroyed. Not to mention becoming the head of the family, it would be good if relatives did not become enemies.

Because of cost, current training must be conducted in various places, but when war breaks out in the future, we still have to find ways to gather people together.

Unlike the ease of coordination last time, it will definitely be much more difficult to coordinate this time.

Knowing that there is a branch of the Koslow family under their command, everyone will not let him go easily. It's not to deliberately make things difficult, but to gain a guarantee for myself.

Apart from anything else, during his tenure as the army coach, Hudson couldn't let "one of his own" follow those missions that were lifeless, right?

Everyone had this little thought, but Hudson didn't take it to heart. If we can't coordinate now, it doesn't mean we won't be able to coordinate in the future.

What's more, putting a few branches under their command can put a lot of great nobles at ease, which is actually worth it.

Just as Hudson would not deliberately arrange for any army to die, these people also dare not let the Koslow family be used as cannon fodder.

Restricting each other can often make cooperation smoother. After all, the kingdom's army itself is the main force in this war, and all ministries must cooperate closely.

As soon as the general strategy was finalized, Hudson's station became lively. There is an endless stream of nobles who come to visit every day.

The daily social activities were so frustrating that if the Ministry of Military Affairs hadn't strongly urged him to stay and required him to participate in the formulation of emergency plans, he would have run away long ago.

"My lord, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland is visiting!"

As soon as he saw off a guest, he received news of the Prime Minister's late-night visit, and Hudson was speechless.

"Please!"

After finishing speaking, Hudson had already stood up and went out to greet him personally. This is the old prime minister’s favor, and it must be given in full.

After some polite remarks, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland got straight to the point and said: "Earl Hudson, there is no one else here, so there is no need to worry about anything. Just say what you think!

I have already seen the plan you proposed at the Ministry of Military Affairs. The situation in the Northern Continent hasn't collapsed to that point yet, right? "

Everyone in the kingdom is not very optimistic about the coming war. Unexpectedly, the plan given by Hudson was even more pessimistic than they expected.

The strategy for facing the orcs is quite normal. But the strategy against the elves and ancient remnants is terrifyingly negative.

Even in Hudson's view, going deep behind enemy lines to cause damage was a proactive attack, but in the eyes of the nobles, this was passive avoidance of war.

In the history of Aslant continent, there is no precedent of guerrilla warfare. Only the remnants of the defeated and destroyed forces will lurk and look for opportunities to cause destruction.

"Prime Minister, this war is different from the past. There are various signs that the countries in the southern and central parts of the continent want to completely eliminate the alien races within their respective spheres of influence.

The elves can watch the alien alliance be defeated, but that doesn't mean they will sit back and watch the alien alliance be destroyed. At a critical moment, they are likely to choose to pull in the alien alliance.

You know how strong the elves are. As long as they change their strategy, it will be difficult for the Northern Continent to block their front.

What's more, there are still ancient remnants and orcs in the northern continent. Once the three major alien races join forces, we have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

The only hope is to trade space for time, lengthen the enemy's front as much as possible, increase the difficulty of their logistical supplies, and drag out the war.

The reason why the thunderous tactics were used against the orcs was because their vitality was damaged in the last war. Not only the five royal families suffered heavy losses, but also the vassal races suffered even greater losses.

Without enough cannon fodder, the orcs' favorite human sea tactic in the past could no longer be used. The five royal families dare not fight with our few members.

It only takes a few battles to make them realize this, and they will fall into a strategic stalemate.

The individual strength of the elves and ancient remnants is very strong, but they have been away from the mainland battlefield for a long time, and their tactical thinking and officers' command capabilities are seriously lagging behind.

A tenth of military strength can only be used to the best of five or six points in their hands.

What's more, the number of members of their two clans is limited, and the number of troops they can mobilize is only a few hundred thousand. Even if the Northern Continent is thrown out, they will not be able to control such a large territory.

There are so many noble castles along the way, and you need to pick them out one by one. With the little force they have, they can't complete it in a short while.

If we really do that, nothing will happen to us. It is estimated that the mainland war will be over before they finish pulling out the nails on the road.

If they want to support the alien alliance, their only option is to abandon the noble castles in the countryside and only control the major cities along the way to force a passage.

This is our chance to fight back. All it takes is to send out a small force, unite the remaining nobles from various countries, and attack their logistics lines based on the castle in the countryside.

If conditions permit, you can also send experienced slave-catching teams to go deep into the Elf Forest to cause destruction in order to contain their forces.

Of course, this is an extreme choice. The elves are not easy to mess with. If they are really provoked, the kingdom will not be able to withstand it.

If they did not use the kingdom's territory and chose to cross from the countries in the west to the central continent, then there would be no need to take these extraordinary measures. "

Hudson said coldly.

One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.

As a general of the Alpha Kingdom, his first priority is the interests of the kingdom, followed by the mainland battlefield.

After a moment of silence, the Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, nodded slowly and said, "You are right, the biggest threat to us is the orcs.

There are at least 100 million humans distributed in the northern continent. Even if they were allowed to kill the light elves and the ancient relics, how many could they kill?

What's more, our human race is the overlord of the continent now, and they still have to worry about being settled by Qiu Hou, so they will definitely take it into consideration when they take action.

After all, not all alien races are as reckless as orcs, without considering the consequences at all. "

Obviously, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland chose to support Hudson's plan. On the surface, it seems to be a little timid, and even suspected of betraying allies, but strategically it is indeed feasible!

If they act according to the plan, countries along the way can completely abandon cities that are destined to be undefendable and evacuate people to the countryside to preserve their strength.

As for the impact that letting the elven army have on the mainland war, I can only say I'm sorry.

If the major powers in central and southern China were willing to divide their forces to support them, no matter how difficult the battlefield was, Hudson would not come up with such an idea.

Unfortunately, these countries have treated the countries in the Northern Continent as abandoned children from the very beginning. In order to survive, then don’t blame everyone for messing up.

It cannot be considered a complete failure. According to Hudson's plan, the Alpha Kingdom will still intercept the orc army and contribute to the continental war.

Countries in the Northern Continent will also attack the logistics supply lines of the elves and ancient survivors. The specific effects are unknown for the time being, but at least it proves that everyone is still resisting.

Theoretically, as long as the human nations in the central and southern part of the country are powerful enough, they can still play behind closed doors and bury the elves and the ancient relics on the battlefield.

"Prime Minister, things are not that simple. Whether the countries in the Northern Continent can understand our intentions is still unknown. Even if they see it, they may not be willing to give up.

Being able to survive from the ancient times, the elves and the ancient survivors are not fools. Even if you can't see it in the early stage, you can see through our plan in the later stage.

There are two strategies before them: either follow the route we set and go all the way south to reinforce the alien alliance; or join forces with the orcs to destroy the kingdom first and occupy the northern continent in one fell swoop, forming a new pattern of confrontation between the north and the south.

The pressure on the kingdom is still very high. Once the worst happens, we can only concentrate our superior forces and crush the orcs at all costs to have a chance of survival! "

Hudson said pretending to be bitter.

The more you know, the more pressure you will feel. Originally it was just him who had to shoulder the responsibility, but now that the Grand Duke of Newfoundland has come to the door, it would be just another unlucky person to be dragged into the water.

If nothing else happens, in the days to come, many of the kingdom's top officials will fall into this kind of "anxiety."

There was no option to surrender. The more anxious everyone became, the more military they had to rely on Hudson.

The naked conspiracy, Hudson was not afraid of being known at all. After all, he was the only general in the entire Alpha Kingdom who could command an army of millions.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, the kingdom will operate at full capacity in this matter and try to avoid the worst situation from happening. However, we still have to prepare for the worst.

If the situation really gets out of hand, the Orc Empire will have to rely on you! "

The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said with caution.

It was obvious that he was quite frightened. Originally I just felt the pressure, but I didn't expect that the Alpha Kingdom was on the verge of life and death.

No one knew what those elves were thinking, but in the context of the end of the alien alliance, it was indeed possible for the three major alien forces to abandon their conflicts and join forces to occupy the northern continent in order for the race to survive.

When it comes to that point, dealing with the orcs first becomes the only option. Prior to this, all the Alpha Kingdom could do was to "direct trouble southward".

Anyway, the Kingdom of Alpha and the three major kingdoms of the Central Continent are also competitors. If you take the opportunity to trick them, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland has no pressure at all.

The resulting political consequences do not need to be considered for the time being. Only the surviving forces need to consider political issues.

Anyway, in Hudson's view, as long as the human race wins the continental war again and there is no threat from the alien race, it will be time for the human race alliance to collapse.

At that point, "unity for survival" has receded into the background, and large-scale mergers have become the mainstream of the times.

…

As if overnight, war has become the mainstream in the mainland. Not counting the countries that have already started war, all countries in the mainland have embarked on the path of military expansion and preparation for war.

As the benchmark for the Northern Continent, once the Alpha Kingdom moved, all countries followed suit.

Among them, the Principality of Moxi has been the most active. The confused King George simply ordered the Alpha model to be copied.

Just a few years ago, we poached a bunch of people from Alpha Kingdom and brought experience with them. Now we just need to promote it.

There is one reserve corps in one county, and the troops are deployed in as many places as possible. Even the young and healthy people who were hidden in the past were brought out this time.

In the blink of an eye, the army on paper in the Principality of Moxi returned to its peak.

The defense lines in the border areas have also started a new round of reinforcement. The Moxi nobles who suffered a loss once went to supervise the construction this time and would never allow the bureaucrats to stretch their hands.

Facts have proven that social beatings can make people progress the most. They are also copying the mobilization mechanism of the Alpha Kingdom, and the only one that has actually implemented it is the Principality of Moxi, which has been severely beaten.

The Principality of Orton.

They also issued a mobilization order immediately, but their actions were much slower than that of Lingju.

Of course, the speed was slow, but everyone still took action. The feudal nobles from various places also followed suit and did not slack off in their work.

But this obviously did not satisfy Orton XIX. In normal times, the king is a salted fish, but in times of crisis, he becomes a living fish.

"waste!"

"They're all trash!"

“What does the Ministry of Military Affairs do for food?

Why did it take so long for the order to be issued, but the formation of reserve corps in various places was still in disarray?

If you can't do it on your own, why don't you just copy it?

Don't forget, this war is different from the past!

There are not so many big countries blocking us in front of us. The Warhammer Kingdom has been destroyed, and the armies of the elves and ancient remnants may come over at any time. "

Theory and practice are not the same thing after all. The Principality of Orton, which had been beaten once, had indeed developed a sense of crisis.

But the problem is that their intervention in the war was too short. The orc army just borrowed a passage from their country, and before they understood what was going on, the enemy had already left.

When it comes to accumulating experience, there is only a little more experience in losing battles, and then there is nothing more.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Military Affairs cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. Reserve training has indeed begun in various places.

The problem now is: people have been summoned, but we lack experience in specific training.

There have been cases in many areas of serfs dying due to overtraining. It turns out that serf soldier training is not the same as knight training.

We are considering sending people to the Alpha Kingdom to learn experience, or directly hiring military instructors from them to help us complete reserve training. "

Prime Minister Jacob explained helpfully.

"Then why are you still dazed? If you have a way, just implement it immediately!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately sent someone to coordinate relations. In this critical moment, Alpha Kingdom would not fail to help. "

After finishing speaking, King Orton XIX, who still felt that it was not enough, continued to add: "Not only do we need to learn, but we also send people to inform neighboring countries so that they can also send people to learn.

In this time of crisis, everyone loses. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is trying its best to convince all countries. Only by involving more countries in preparing for war can we have a chance! "

If it is so profound, it will directly shock the ministers. Everyone never expected that their king, who eats, drinks, has fun and doesn't care much about anything every day, would actually have this insight.

"Your Majesty, fully learning the Alpha model militarily also means that we must move closer to them politically.

In particular, the evaluation and recruitment of military instructors has allowed Alpha people to directly intervene in our army. Originally, they were the largest country in the Northern Continent. If something like this happens again, all the countries in the Northern Continent will probably have to..."

Before Foreign Secretary Dubus could finish his words, Alton XIX interrupted impatiently: "Okay, stop talking so much nonsense.

To put it simply, what you are saying is that if you do this, the balance will be broken, and in the future the Alpha Kingdom will dominate the Northern Continent.

What's there to worry about?

These are all things in the future, let’s live in the future first and then talk about it!

If it cannot stop the enemy's attack, the Principality of Alton will cease to exist before the Alpha Kingdom takes over the Northern Continent.

The principality is almost gone, why do you want me to take care of the international situation? "

There's nothing wrong with it. After I die, I won't care about the flood!

If the Principality of Alton disappears, let alone the Kingdom of Alpha, it is possible to dominate the Northern Continent. Even if it unifies the Northern Continent, it will not care about the nineteenth generation of Alton.

Think about the future in the future, and take care of the present first is the right way.

What's more, the battlefield is full of uncertainties. Strong countries can decline in wars, and weak countries can also rise in wars.

The world is uncertain, everything is possible!
