Chapter 456 Heretic Base Camp(1/2)
Author: Xin Haiyue 1
Lutetia, since the Human Alliance meeting was held, has almost become the permanent residence of the alliance.
As the host, the Frankish Kingdom enjoyed a wave of political dividends, but also faced a lot of troubles.
When countries in mainland China encounter problems, they immediately turn to their "host" of the conference for help. This is very bad, as it will affect their international reputation.
When various countries in the Northern Continent asked for help in the early days, Charles III used the excuse of going to war with the orcs to reject everyone's requests for troops.
Although there are good reasons, after the collapse of the situation in the northern continent, the reputation of the Frankish Kingdom on the mainland has plummeted eastward.
Countries have gradually lost confidence in the wrong boss who only takes benefits but does nothing.
As the situation further deteriorates, now the countries in the Chinese mainland are looking for it again. Unlike before, the situation this time is even more dangerous, and it may threaten the foundation of the human race.
It is okay to use war to suppress competition, but the prerequisite is to ensure that the human race wins the war. If you try to ruin the situation, you are putting the cart before the horse!
"How is the alliance meeting going?"
Charles III asked with concern.
As for taking some time off, he basically no longer attended the alliance meetings in person after the outbreak of the Continental War.
"Your Majesty, the mood of the representatives of various countries is very unstable. Especially the representatives of the countries in the Northern Continent who were destroyed, and they were angry directly at the conference.
The representatives of the central countries were also very excited, and their words were hard to hear.
They all went to quarrel, and the issue of forming a coalition force was not progressing smoothly."
Duke Bergson said helplessly.
The formation of the Continental Allied Forces has never been smooth sailing. Because of their different interests, representatives from various countries often quarrel.
"Prime Minister, it is simply unrealistic to expect the alliance parliament to discuss the truth in less than a year and a half.
If you want to make a decision within a short period of time, why not directly invite representatives from the Holy See and several major powers to communicate privately?"
Marquis Jesus said with a smile.
As the foreign minister of the kingdom, is he experienced enough to do that kind of thing?
When trying to solve international problems, the common practice is to hold a general meeting for small matters and a small meeting for big matters.
Just ask the Holy See and several big countries to unify their stance, and the rest of the countries in the East will follow suit and just go through the motions.
"The elven army is about to join the foreign races in the Central Continent. If we delay moving eastward, problems will arise sooner or later. The Alliance must send reinforcements as soon as possible to prevent the worst situation from happening.
This matter will be left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to coordinate, and we must urge all countries to form a coalition force as soon as possible to reverse the current unfavorable situation!"
Charles III said without changing his expression.
As the most powerful country in the continent, he has the confidence to say that. As the continental war continues, the Frankish Kingdom has initially completed its strategic goals.
The meat has been eaten, and the potential competitive legs have been weakened. Now is the time to clean up the mess and gain international reputation.
"Bidong, in fact, they can ask for benefits from other countries, allowing them to further open foreign markets, break various trade restrictions, and allow people to enter and exit freely.
Of course, that is a cover, and the kingdom is not greedy for the little money from trade. God prays that after they relax the restrictions, they can get more refugees.
The Orc Kingdom's vast land in the east requires a large number of people to fill it, and the few immigrants from Guangbei Continent are completely unable to meet the demand!"
Prime Minister Duke Bergson said casually.
The strong are always strong. Although the Frankish Kingdom stands at the pinnacle of the mainland, they are still in the process of promotion and have an enterprising government.
Before launching the Continental War, the government had made plans to develop the Orc Kingdom, and what is lacking now is the population.
Is the development progress of simply immigrating from abroad too slow to meet their needs? War refugees have become an alternative.
Once Prime Minister Bergson's plan is completed, the strength between the countries in the east will be further expanded. Frank's imperial alliance is in danger of becoming a reality.
"The prime minister is right, we can work hard to win something, just as if they don't give them the military expenses for sending troops.
Set a goal first, and strive to obtain 500,000 immigrants from the three major kingdoms outside the year, and then obtain 500,000 immigrants from a number of small countries.
Separate the immigration activities, preferably through private employment, so as to reduce the government's presence as much as possible, so as not to arouse the vigilance of various countries."
Charles III said slowly.
The situation in the Central Continent is different from that in the Northern Continent. If the three kingdoms are temporarily in trouble, their own strength is not very strong.
Likewise, when immigrants are acquired from small countries in the northern continent, will they appear as saviors?
No matter whether they were nobles or not, commoners or serfs, they all rushed to leave that land to avoid being massacred by foreigners.
Covered in the banner of justice, even if there is no high-profile immigration, the outside world will think that it is not helping refugees.
The same gameplay will not work in the Central Continent. Now, if part of the land is occupied, it is very unlikely that the whole country will run away.
If the alien army forces them too hard, they may be able to unleash their potential. If you think about it in reverse, it may not be possible, but it will definitely be fine to hold on to half of the country.
After all, the aristocratic groups of the three kingdoms have some strength. Now, it is because of the external political system and the changing times, which limits their ability to exert their strength.
…
In the prairie, Hudson also knew about the farce that happened in the Alliance Parliament. The representatives of the various countries in the northern continent asked for an outbreak. Isn't it really too bullying?
When they asked for help earlier, the Alliance Council refused to convene, so they refused bluntly. Everyone was pent-up and had nowhere to express their anger.
Now that countries are ruined and families are destroyed, the original considerations are gone, and you can vent your emotions to your heart's content.
Anyway, as a member of Parliament, you have the right to be immune from speech, so the core interests that all members of the Parliament jointly safeguard cannot be shaken.
The country is gone, and if they can't restore it, their career as members of parliament will be over. If they don't vent their emotions, they will have no chance to do so in the future.
Including the representatives of the Alpha Kingdom to the alliance, they were also sprayed with red faces by the representatives of the seven grassland countries, and they hid their faces in shame and walked away.
Those are minor issues, just getting scolded. For politicians, they are not a big deal at all.
The farce is a trivial matter, and the issues behind the farce are the focus of Hudson's concern. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he is obsessed with international politics.
If the representatives of the countries in the Northern Continent were upset, then the representatives of the countries in the Central Continent were furious, which means that the situation has really reached a point where it is beyond control.
Unless they are forced into a desperate situation, aristocratic bureaucrats who want to save face will usually not show their cards directly.
"The Continental United Army was born!"
Having come to that conclusion, Hudson smiled slightly. For the Alpha Kingdom, this was undoubtedly good news.
The continent of Aslant is just a game of chess, and the war situation in the prairie is just a corner of the chessboard. If you want to win the war, you have to look at the overall situation.
The situation in the Central Continent is undoubtedly the key factor that determines the advantage of the Continental War. Whoever wins the Battle of the Central Continent from the East will win that Continental War.
In this regard, Hudson is very confident about the human race. It is true that the human alliance is a piece of loose sand, but it is still a race. The alien alliance is not even a piece of loose sand, it can be said that it is a piece of soil, sand, and stones.
A hodgepodge of sawdust.
If both sides organize their own coalition forces, then it will be a direct fight from the top and downgraded to a "worst war".
The more participants there are, the more chaotic the command system will be. No one can tell what the fight will be like in the past.
Because of external disputes, even if one party wins, it will be difficult to expand the results and maximize the interests of the alliance.
What everyone can do is to maximize their own interests. Everyone plans for themselves. Hudson is very suspicious that after the human race defeated the alien race, the Human Race Alliance will seek to become an "existence organization".
There is no need to think about future matters for the time being.
When the mainland coalition forces appear, they will definitely support all battlefields. As one of the main battlefields in the mainland war, the prairie battlefield is also one of the battlefields supported by the coalition forces.
There is no need for the Alpha Kingdom to establish itself, the Seven Prairie Kingdoms will fight for it on their own. Only by completely defeating the Orc Empire can they be able to re-establish their country.
The forces behind the dignitaries of the Seven Prairie Kingdoms are now also trapped. The initial investment was so huge that they could not restore the country without asking, so their investment bought back a bunch of empty titles.
"King", "Grand Duke", "Duke", "Marquis"... all of them are very important, and they add insult to injury.
The deceased king of the kingdom, the deceased prince of the principality, the deceased...
If you don’t want to lose all your money, you can continue to invest. In the short term, even if it is impossible to send reinforcements to the prairie battlefield, we still need to provide a certain amount of material support to the Alpha Kingdom.
"Marshal, we have found traces of the enemy's main force eighty miles ahead. There are Behemoth cavalry, lion cavalry, and wolf cavalry, with a total strength of tens of thousands.
Preliminary judgment, then should the orcs send troops to come back for reinforcements?"
As soon as Tom finished speaking, Hudson did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Send the order to the east and have all the troops clean up the battlefield immediately.
However, we turned around and bypassed the enemy army in front, and they went to look for bad luck on the orc tribe to the east!"
A decisive battle is not possible. Is there the territory of the orcs? The right time, place and people are not occupied, and even the strength of the enemy is not clear, so a fool went to fight for a decisive battle.
If you have the time, it would be better to destroy a few more orc tribes and weaken the enemy's war potential.
"No, Marshal!"
…
Not long after the expeditionary force left, the orc army that had been attacking all the way also arrived on the battlefield.
Looking at the unburnt tent fodder, Duke Daniel said helplessly: "It's too late again!"
It was not the first time that we had passed by the expeditionary legion. In order to find out the enemies that were deep in the grasslands, the orc tribes all learned to use wolf smoke.
The efficient communication method can be clearly seen for dozens of miles around. It is much more convenient and faster than the traditional communication method.
The communication method has been updated. It is true that it is impossible to capture the enemy. There is no way. The probability of two armies meeting head-on in the vast prairie is really too small.
To be continued...
