King

Chapter 743: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

"Your Majesty, the government plans to dispatch some of its servant troops to take the sea route and join the battlefield in the Central Continent once the situation in the grassland stabilizes."

Duke Beckett said with an idea.

The royal government wants to lose face. Since it has accepted the surrender of the orcs, it cannot massacre its younger brother for no reason.

However, the hatred between the two sides is too deep, leaving a large number of orcs is a hidden danger. It's okay when the kingdom is strong, but once it falls into decline, these guys will definitely rebel.

The only option left is to let these guys die on the battlefield. The royal government only needs to spend some money and food to solve this hidden danger.

In order not to cause trouble, Prime Minister Beckett even planned the marching route, lest the nobles in the country get excited and kill these servants on the way.

Similar things happen repeatedly on the front lines. Some guys who extremely hate orcs will secretly attack the servant army whenever they have the opportunity.

Up to now, more than three digits of noble officers have been ordered to retire due to the massacre of prisoners.

Even military law can't restrain them. When they get to their own territory, these guys will only do more ruthlessly.

It would be useless even if he was caught. The noble council would not convict a nobleman of a serious crime for slaughtering orcs. The treatment method would be nothing more than three drinks of fine wine, which would not deter him at all.

“Without further delay, the government immediately arranged for ships to dispatch an army of one million servants from the grasslands to the central continent to participate in the war.

You can discuss the specific arrangements with Marshal Hudson. In short, the hidden danger of the orc servant army must be eliminated! "

Caesar IV ordered coldly.

It is too obvious to recruit two-thirds of the servant army as soon as he opens his mouth to clear the minds of dissidents.

Their king suddenly showed a decisive and killing side, and everyone was very uncomfortable with it.

However, the target was the orcs, and everyone's opposition fell instantly.

In the Alpha Kingdom, only dead orcs are the best orcs!

Maybe if you do this, comments like cruelty and butcher will appear in the history books in the future, but in the social context where humans dominate the world, it will definitely be positive overall.

From a small tribe to the current overlord of the continent, the history of the development of the human race is a history of genocide. Most of the territory occupied by various human nations was taken from their enemies.

In this process, endless killing is inevitable.

This is the nature of the jungle in the Aslant continent. All races are in a living environment of killing and being killed. Those who could not keep up with the times were eliminated.

Chinese army camp.

Hudson, who received the order from the kingdom, was not surprised at all. Caesar IV and the princes and ministers in the court are not fools, and they will definitely not leave the hidden danger of orcs.

If there were only 800,000 foreigners, perhaps in order to show the generosity of the kingdom, a piece of land would be allocated directly to them for resettlement.

The number of more than eight million is really astonishing. Once chaos breaks out in the future, it will inevitably affect the kingdom's rule on the grassland.

If we want long-term peace and stability, we must implement a "reduction" policy towards the surrendered alien races.

It is best to deal with it during the war. If it is delayed until after the war, and you want to take measures to solve it, the difficulty will increase tenfold.

"Your Excellency, the kingdom's order has been issued, please implement it in accordance with the above regulations!

In principle, the number of troops is shared among all races, but considering the actual situation on the battlefield, it is best to give priority to races with strong combat effectiveness.

Send someone to test the dark elves, and if they are willing to cooperate, arrange for them to serve as supervisors responsible for supervising the orcs' operations.

In short, this operation must further divide and disintegrate the servant army, and cannot leave them a chance to unite! "

A simple order directly determined the fate of countless orc races. Following this operation, the highly combat-effective races in the servant army will be severely weakened.

If something unexpected happened later, they might be exterminated directly.

It was not that Hudson was hostile to them, but mainly political needs. The kingdom doesn't want to leave any threat, and they are the ones to be purged.

In fact, those races with strong reproductive capabilities are also targets of cleansing. It's just that it needs to be further back in the cleaning sequence.

After all, no matter how young you are, it still takes time to grow. In a short period of time, the strength of these races will not increase dramatically.

"Marshal, please don't worry!

The servant army has been monitored by us, and any big move they make will not escape our sight.

As long as the kingdom's fleet is ready, we can immediately mobilize them to go south without affecting the kingdom's strategic deployment! "

Earl Gulen replied enthusiastically.

Every noble in the kingdom enjoys the job of cleaning up orcs. If it weren't for his status restriction, he wouldn't be so polite to the servant army.

Li meets now, it's finally time for reckoning.

Reinforcement of the battlefield in the Central Continent seemed to be just an ordinary military operation, but as a senior leader of the kingdom, he knew very well that this was a mission with no return.

The initial one million is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more to come.

The operation will not stop until the kingdom's senior officials believe that the servant army poses no threat.

Hessian Palace.

Looking at the diplomatic note in his hand, Alexander V was dumbfounded. After a brief hesitation, he slowly asked:

"Caesar IV wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Do you think we should cooperate with them?"

Between countries, interests always come first.

The situation has developed to this point, and the honeymoon period between the five-nation alliance has long ended.

It is true that everyone is huddled together to fight against the alien alliance, but it does not mean that they are willing to be used.

Before the Alpha Kingdom launched this war, although it had discussed with them, it finally ignored their opposition and went its own way.

The situation on the battlefield also confirmed this point. The Alpha Kingdom, which took the initiative to start the war, achieved an unprecedented strategic victory, but the four countries became victims.

The Principality of Moshi is an inland country, and it is sandwiched between the elves and the Alpha Kingdom. It has no choice in strategy and can only continue to follow the Alpha Kingdom.

The three countries in the Central Continent are different. The arrival of reinforcements from the countries in the Southern Continent has given them more choices.

It is not necessary to abandon the covenant, but it is impossible for them to completely rely on the Alpha Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, we should not offend the Alpha Kingdom in the short term.

They want to kill with a borrowed knife, and we have also obtained a group of cheap cannon fodder, which can reduce the casualties of the kingdom's army.

It is a good thing for both countries!"

Minister of Military Affairs Count Niklas took the lead in expressing his opinion.

The reinforcements from the allies are arriving one after another, but all kinds of hard work inevitably fall on the Kingdom's army.

The number of casualties that increase every day is shocking. The Kingdom's army is almost wiped out due to the continuous bloodshed and sacrifice.

The front line keeps asking for more troops, and the reserve forces in the country that have received complete military training are almost exhausted.

The officials of the subordinate departments responsible for conscription complain all day long.

Some small and medium-sized nobles who have not kept up with the times and have not completed the universal military can only use ordinary people to make up the numbers.

The continuous decline in the quality of soldiers has directly affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, which in turn has caused heavy losses to the officers and soldiers on the front line.

If proper countermeasures are not taken and the vicious cycle is allowed to continue, a large number of young and strong people will be consumed on the battlefield, and the decline of the country is inevitable.

This pot is too big, and the Military Affairs Department really can't bear it. The Hessen senior officials present can't afford it either.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Krasner is right. The kingdom suffered too much loss in the war and urgently needs a batch of cheap cannon fodder.

One million orc vassal troops can at least reduce our casualties of 500,000. As long as the conditions of the Alpha people are not too excessive, we can agree to it first!"

Prime Minister Duke Milton immediately supported.

The problem now is no longer to help the Alpha people deal with troubles, but they themselves need a large number of cannon fodder to work hard to preserve the vitality of the kingdom.

"Since you all think so, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should hurry up to communicate with Caesar IV, so as not to be preempted by the Mossi people!"

Alexander V said with a little unwillingness.

In recent years, he has been envious and jealous of his neighbor next door. Obviously, everyone is at the same level, and the neighboring country is beaten by the orcs every now and then.

As a result, in just over a decade, the Alpha Kingdom soared to the sky, directly destroyed the Orc Empire, and became one of the most powerful countries on the continent in one fell swoop.

Simply seeing the rise of his neighbors, he is at most envious and jealous, but the problem is that his family is continuing to decline!

Having just completed the military reform, the kingdom thought it could reverse its decadent trend and soar to the sky, but it was interrupted by the sudden outbreak of the continental war.

Judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Hessen will not be able to recover without 20 to 30 years of recuperation.

As one side grows and the other side declines, the gap between the two countries becomes more and more disparate.

No matter how unwilling he is, he still has to do what he should do. Alexander V can still distinguish between personal feelings and national interests.

It involves the mobilization of millions of troops, which cannot be kept secret at all. In order to boost the morale of the army, the Hessen people spread the news as soon as the agreement was reached.

Budapest Palace.

King George, who received the news, directly scolded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is never too much cannon fodder.

As the main participant in the continental war, facing the attack of the elf army, their losses this time are also very heavy.

Orc cannon fodder may have many shortcomings, but there is one advantage - no responsibility for death!

The Alpha Kingdom wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, which meant that they could use the orcs as cannon fodder. Even if the whole army was annihilated, they could still gain the friendship of their allies.

Compared to before, other reinforcements were no match. They were only here to help, not to fight to the death. The most dangerous missions were always undertaken by their own army.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is actually a reason why the Alpha people chose to give priority to supporting the Kingdom of Hessen.

The main battlefields of the current continental war are concentrated in the Central Continent. The Kingdom of Hessen is the only one of the three countries in the Central Continent that borders the Kingdom of Alpha.

The war in the Principality has eased up. If the Kingdom of Alpha sends more troops here, it is very likely to attract the enemy's main force again.

At that time, the countries in the Southern Continent can stay out of it and watch our two countries fight the elf army. This is not good news for either the Principality or the Kingdom of Alpha.

What's more, the Principality is deep inland, and the orc vassal army needs to pass through multiple provinces in Alpha along the way. Given the hatred between them and the orcs, this journey will definitely not be safe!"

Prime Minister Marquis Conrad helped explain.

There is also competition within the Five-Nation Alliance. The Principality of Moxi can have the same status as the three kingdoms. In addition to their good record, they also have the support of the Alpha Kingdom.

In this context, continuing to consolidate the alliance between the two countries is the most important task of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Principality of Mossi.

George angrily scolded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The issue of the orc servant army was only the trigger. What was more, the relationship between the two countries was unfamiliar.

The last time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked for reinforcements, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs failed to solve the problem. In the end, it was him who used his personal connections to get the matter settled.

Frankly speaking, Count Karadzic was also wronged. With the changes in international relations, the biggest problem does not lie with them. The main problem is that the military strength of the Alphas has increased too quickly.

As a result, the Principality of Moxi, once the most important ally, has gradually fallen to the level of an ordinary ally and is no longer as indispensable as before.

"snort!"

"These are all objective reasons. Countries are guided by interests, but this world is ultimately a world of humans. As long as we deal with the people, we will solve all problems.

What has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs been doing in recent years?

One trip to the east, one trip to the west, the work has no focus at all!

If you have that much time, it's better to maintain the relationship with the powerful people in Alpha Kingdom. If you improve your relationship with them, the relationship between the two countries will naturally improve! "

George's words, although not very pleasant, are the essence of the world.

The biggest characteristic of the aristocratic group that dominates the world is that it is both profit-oriented and mixed with a lot of personal emotions.

Under this kind of social system, it is often more effective to deal with individuals in power than to deal with the royal government, and the cost is much lower.

In this operation, there is an element of deliberate negotiation. The principality was a little embarrassed, but George himself was not a person who only cared about face.

"Your Majesty, you are right to teach me a lesson!

This is a mistake made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will pay attention to this aspect and will not make similar mistakes again! "

Count Karadzic replied bitterly.

You can't do it without bowing your head. The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is too idealistic. For a long time, the focus of public relations has been on the ministers in the court.

It was okay to do this originally, but the problem was that the ministers they had bet on before were all driven back home during the power struggle.

The last internal political reshuffle in the Alpha Kingdom caused all the previous work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be destroyed.

Restarting a business relationship is obviously not something that happens overnight. This directly led to the interruption of the influence of the Principality of Moxi in the Alpha Kingdom, and no one in the court could help speak.

"never mind!

I won’t argue with you about the past. In the future, the human race will launch a major counterattack against the elves, and they must bring over the main force of the Alpha Kingdom no matter what! "

At almost the same time, similar meetings were held in the Dante Kingdom and the Nan'an Kingdom. However, due to geographical limitations, the Alpha Kingdom was unable to provide them with direct support in the short term.

Theoretically, it is also possible to take the sea route and make a large circle along the mainland, but this is not feasible at all.

The stormy sea is one aspect, but the main reason is that the time period is too long. Setting off now will take more than half a year at the earliest. Excluding bad weather, the fleet may be able to run for a year.

Knowing that I can't count on it, I simply don't care about it. The two countries focused their public relations on the Frankish Empire and the Iliban Kingdom respectively.

Anyway, they are all holding on to the thighs, so I must hold one that is helpful to me.

The wheel of history bifurcates here. Quietly, divisions have begun to occur within the Five-Nation Alliance.

Affected by geopolitics, the Hessians and Mossi people, who are close to the Alpha Kingdom, continue to unite around the Alpha Kingdom.

The distant Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of South Coast are less affected by the Kingdom of Alpha, and are gradually moving closer to the two overlords of the Southern Continent politically.
