Chapter 146 Hudson Recruits Soldiers and Trains Officers First
Chapter 146 Hudson recruits soldiers...train officers first
The Alpha Kingdom is not the only one in preparation mode. After receiving the news of the Orc Empire's movement, the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moshi also raised their war readiness level.
For the orcs, the three kingdoms are all human countries, and they will rob anyone. Once the fight breaks out in the north, none of the three will be left behind.
Even if there was no grudge before, after being visited by the orcs one after another, the accumulated hatred made them regard the orcs as mortal enemies.
The only difference is that the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moshi have only experienced small-scale invasions and have not yet experienced the horror of the full-scale invasion of the orcs.
In the past full-scale wars, the Alpha Kingdom was at the forefront, and when the war spread to their doorsteps, it was a matter of the middle and late stages.
In the middle and late stages, the human countries have almost reacted. The reinforcements from all over the world came together to reinforce. It can't be said that the fight is smooth sailing, but at least it is not a one-sided fight.
If you don't have experience in dealing with it, you can only learn from your neighbors. Seeing the Alpha Kingdom mobilizing the whole country, the two countries were also frightened.
"Are the orcs really going to launch a full-scale invasion?"
Chris IX asked with a gloomy face.
As "gatekeepers", there are also differences in strength. If the Alpha Kingdom, which has been PKing with the orcs for a long time, is the strongest among the three kingdoms, then the Principality of Moshi in the narrow gap is the bottom.
Even though the Principality of Moshi was once known as the "First Principality of the Continent" and its military strength is stronger than some weak kingdoms, it is a pity that it is still not enough in front of the Orc Empire.
Usually, small-scale harassment makes them exhausted. Now suddenly telling him that the Orc Empire is going to invade in full force, it is difficult for Chris IX to accept it without slowing down.
"Your Majesty, the orcs are about to launch a full-scale invasion. This is the news from the Alpha Kingdom.
They have fought with the orcs for hundreds of years and have a deep understanding of the Orc Empire. This judgment should not be wrong.
Besides, according to the intelligence we received from the Orc Empire, the five major orc royal courts are preparing for war.
Even if it is not a full-scale war, this war is far from comparable to the past. It is always right to prepare for the worst in advance so as not to be caught off guard at that time."
Prime Minister Hercheg answered with a serious face.
The orcs invaded in full force. Although the three unlucky guys were beaten together, the most dangerous one was the Principality of Moshi.
As the weakest among the three countries, it is very likely to become a breakthrough for the orc army to invade the south.
Although there are many fortresses on the border, Hercheg still has no idea whether the Principality of Moshi can stop the orcs' front.
As "bad brothers", the Alpha Kingdom and the Warhammer Kingdom are definitely not counted on. Based on the experience of previous conflicts, the orcs will not pull down the other two sides if they attack one direction.
It just so happens that the military strength of the Orc Empire is above the Three Kingdoms, so even if they catch the three kingdoms together, there is not much pressure.
"Then prepare for war with all your strength! The Alpha Kingdom has not spared even the pitiful fighting power of the serfs, so we must keep up."
Chris IX gritted his teeth and said.
It is not possible not to follow up with all your strength. As the weakest of the Three Kingdoms, the Principality of Moshi is likely to be hit the hardest.
If the orc army fails to stop its front, the country will be destroyed in an instant. Even if Chris IX can go into exile abroad, it will be difficult to take back the destroyed country.
There is no way, the orc army is too cruel. Although the places they pass through are not to the point of no grass growing, it is inevitable that nine out of ten houses will be empty.
Without citizens, restoring the country is naturally a joke. When it comes to the competition for the survival space of the race, it is purely a luxury to expect the other party to be soft.
...
In the Emerald Palace, the chariot of war started to turn, and Caesar III was idle instead.
Everything served the war, and trivial matters disappeared from his sight. The nobles with many contradictions no longer struggled at this moment.
Even if it was a life-and-death feud, they suppressed their hatred now. Everyone had only one goal - to concentrate their strength - to survive this life-and-death catastrophe.
As for the problem of hatred, it depends on whether the opponent can survive the next war.
According to past experience, the probability of the opponent dying on the battlefield is much higher than the success rate of killing the opponent by themselves.
There were suddenly fewer things, and while he was relaxed, Caesar III was still a little uncomfortable. Of course, more of it was that he was unsure.
He shouted loudly that he wanted to avenge the orcs and regain lost territory. In fact, he was also panicking in his heart.
If the Orc Empire had not moved first and confirmed that this war was unavoidable, he would not want to go to war with the orcs at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Orc Empire and the Quekning Peninsula have both shown signs of locust plagues. It is only a matter of time before a large-scale outbreak. Our first step plan has succeeded."
The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said in a deep voice.
Reason told him that this was playing with fire. Attacking two major forces at the same time is a dangerous move. A slight mistake could lead to a major accident.
But what is even more cruel is that no matter whether the Alpha Kingdom takes action or not, the fact of mutual hostility cannot be avoided.
"Relax a little, my chancellor. Things are not that bad. The Holy See has just offended the Frankish Kingdom.
No one will be their peacemaker this time. The trouble that the first kingdom of the continent can cause them is not so easy to solve.
As for the Orc Empire, they are all preparing to invade. What is there to hesitate about?
As long as we can weaken their war potential, it is worth starting a war now. "
Caesar III said with a calm face.
He was panicking inside, but he had to show enough calmness to appease his subordinates.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland has also said similar words to his subordinates.
Everyone knows that this is just words to appease people, but everyone is still willing to listen. When people are unsure, they need recognition the most.
Even if this recognition has no substantive meaning, it can also bring spiritual comfort.
Caesar III, who is good at playing politics, will naturally not disappoint his subordinates in this regard. If the boss has no confidence, wouldn't his subordinates be more panicked.
This large-scale war involving the survival of the race, not only the Alpha Kingdom needs to pay attention, but the Orc Empire must also be cautious.
Just fighting with the three border countries of the human race is indeed nothing to the orcs, but the human race has dozens of countries.
How to fight?
When to fight?
To what extent?
These are all knowledge. In case of careless operation, the entire human race will be irritated.
If the ruthless continental overlord can do whatever it takes, It is still possible to destroy an orc empire.
Therefore, every time the orcs invade, they are mainly robbing. In seizing territory, they are quite restrained.
Of course, this restraint is passive. In the later stages of each war, almost all of them ended with the human coalition regaining lost territory. The war will not end if the occupied land is not given up.
The last war was an exception, and this exception was based on the background of the human race fighting on all sides. The orc empire, which took advantage, also paid a painful price, that is, it abandoned its allies and stopped fighting with the human race in advance.
Similar betrayals and alliances are very common among races. If all the alien races were united, the human race would have been pulled down as the continental overlord.
The upcoming southern invasion seems to be an accidental event, but in fact, it is unknown how many political games have been played behind it.
Only after weighing the pros and cons many times and feeling that the war is more beneficial to itself, did the orc royal court make the decision to start the war.
"Your Majesty, the envoys sent by the Principality of Moshi and the Kingdom of Warhammer have set off and are expected to arrive in the capital in half a month.
They came here this time, most likely to discuss joint operations. This matter involves a wide range of issues, and you need to personally come up with the charter. "
Count Francis reminded.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Alpha, he is bored most of the time, but he is busy all the time during the war.
Compared with the previous Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Francis's task is even heavier, and this time there are two more allies to coordinate.
The lips and teeth are cold, and now the three countries are "brothers" in the same trench. If any one falls, the other two countries will become more dangerous.
As far as possible, everyone still needs to take care of each other on the battlefield.
Otherwise, if the orc army tears open a gap in any country, it can go around to the rear to launch an attack, thus avoiding the dense fortresses on the front line.
"Let the military department coordinate with them, and cooperate with each other if they can, but everything must be based on the safety of the kingdom.
In addition, let the border provinces be vigilant, and secretly build a line of defense with the noble castle as the hub. In case of an accident, we must also buy enough time for the kingdom.
Prime Minister, you are responsible for leading the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Political Affairs, and the Council of Nobles to jointly form an inspection team to supervise the war preparedness of each province.
Tell them that the army of the province with the slowest war preparedness and the worst military training will be the first to fight! "
Caesar III said viciously.
The autonomy of the feudal nobles is indeed high, but it does not mean that the king can do nothing with them. Especially in this war period, it is easy to make trouble for them.
They are all forced out, and the war is imminent. If you don't work hard now, you will have no chance even if you want to work hard later.
Although there are two more unlucky people to share the pressure, it also increases the uncontrollable factors. If the two allies can't hold on, the originally shortened battle line of the Alpha Kingdom will be stretched again.
Fortunately, the nobles have the responsibility to defend their territory these days, and they are not afraid that the feudal lords of the border provinces will not work hard, otherwise it will be difficult to put together a temporary defense line.
...
Wright County, since Hudson took over the military training of a group of "allies", the scene has become grand in an instant.
Excluding the territories of the nobles in the north, Wright County has emerged with 50,000 young and strong men. Just hearing this The number really scared Hudson.
He soon calmed down. It was all the work of his former colleagues in the Fifth Army. Not only did they send the young and strong men from the Wright County territory, but they also brought the young and strong men from their hometown.
The power of the halo is so strong. Although Hudson's reputation was blown up by them, everyone recognized Hudson's luck and training ability from the bottom of their hearts.
Anyway, they have to bring their own dry food to train the team, so naturally they have to find someone with ability to help train. The more elite the soldiers are trained, the higher the survival rate will be on the battlefield.
"Fifty thousand young and strong" is defined only by age. Naturally, it is impossible for all of them to be suitable for the army, and screening is necessary.
Although the plan of the whole country is ready to be soldiers, it is impossible for the kingdom to let all the young and strong go to the battlefield. Most of them play the role of reserve emergency.
According to Hudson's estimation, when the Kingdom's conscription order comes down, at most 7,000 to 10,000 people will be drawn from here, and it is highly likely that they will not be sent to the front line all at once.
In addition to these people, the various branches of the Koslo family in the province also brought young and strong people to refer to the training. Some old friends and relatives who are preparing to form a team also brought people to join in the fun.
There are even more people who want to use their connections to come and get free military training.
Faced with the increasingly large team, Hudson was frightened and hurriedly called a halt.
It is really limited in ability. Even if one of his own regiments is sent out as an instructor, there are not enough people. If there are more, there is really nothing he can do.
For the great god who recruits hundreds of thousands of new soldiers at a time and trains them directly into an army, Hudson can only Mobai.
Even if he has a foundation, he will still be confused when hundreds of thousands of young and strong people are thrown in front of him.
Fortunately, most of the serfs only need to show their intentions and have a certain foundation. He only needs to select 10,000 to 20,000 people from them for intensive training as the army for the future expedition.
Fortunately, the non-cultivated land area in the mountainous territory is also large enough. A military camp is set up on each hilltop, and the people are dispersed, so it doesn't feel crowded.
As for building roads and leveling the land, it is not for Master Hudson to take advantage, but for training needs.
Apart from the mountainous territory, who is willing to give up such a large piece of land to serve as a training ground for young and strong men?
Without roads, food cannot be transported in. The uneven ground is inconvenient for training!
As for the weapons in the hands of the young and strong men, they were not promoted by Hudson, but everyone followed suit after seeing that the serfs in the mountainous territory had one each.
Unlike the previous sale of inferior weapons, this time Hudson mixed a lot of qualified products at a ratio of five to one.
The only drawback is that it is still out of stock. Only the most valued "future elites" got iron weapons, and the rest can only use wooden sticks to make up the number.
Large-scale military purchases are also a heavy burden for small nobles.
If Hudson had not generously stated: his own people can buy on credit, or they can also use physical goods to offset accounts. I guess most nobles will passively give up because of their lack of money.
…
"Stand still!"
"Stand still. Since you are here, you must be prepared to suffer.
Don't worry about being embarrassed. We all receive the same training. No one will laugh at you.
You are all nobles, so you should act like nobles. If you are not even as good as serfs, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if it gets out?
From now on, everyone should cheer up and study seriously for the next month.
After a month, you will go back to train serfs. They are also receiving training. If they are not even as good as serfs, they will just kill themselves.
It's not too late to quit now. Once the training starts, it will be too late to regret it.
First, let me introduce you. The person on my shoulder is Mr. Bear Stearns, the great earth bear. He will be responsible for supervising your training from now on.
Mr. Bear Stearns has a bad temper, so you'd better not make him angry. Although there are priests in the barracks, I can't guarantee whether the treatment is good..."
Hudson said seriously.
To train soldiers, you must first train officers.
To lead everyone to the battlefield, you must show some real skills. If all his subordinates are useless, it is easy to kill him as the boss.
There is no need to worry about being stolen by others. These basic training methods can only train grassroots officers at most.
The nobles can learn in a short time because they have cultural background and master more knowledge than ordinary people.
Hudson has personally experienced the training of poor serf officers. It took two years to barely meet his requirements.
In order to take care of everyone's face, Hudson also set up a noble training camp, and all the participants were noble children.
The elderly noble masters were too embarrassed to accept the training, so they pushed their sons out.
"Quit" is just a joke.
Opportunities to learn military knowledge are rare. If anyone dares to quit halfway, Hudson doesn't need to do anything, and the old father behind them will teach them how to be a man.
As for Bear Stearns' supervision, it is simply scary. Even if the cubs were willing to work for free, Hudson was afraid of problems.
The bear cubs were so reckless that even Hudson was afraid of them once they started to fight.
If the bear cubs accidentally killed a few of them, Hudson would have no way to explain himself.
But the bear cubs' hoarse grin and eager expression were really a bit...
