Chapter 408 I Don’t Have to Believe It, but You Must Believe It

Frankish Palace.

Looking at the representatives of the Farland Kingdom, Charles III was very angry. I had obviously reminded them not to make things worse, but they just didn't listen.

It's fine now, everything is as he expected, things are getting out of hand.

The day's events came to an end for the time being. It was because the Alpha people gave the Frankish Kingdom some face that they did not continue to delve deeper into the matter, but that did not mean that the matter was over.

Next, if everyone communicates well, the big issue can be minimized; if the conditions cannot be agreed upon, the final decision of the Human Alliance will be very detrimental to the Farland Kingdom.

No matter how big the trouble is, he still has to help solve it. Who knows that King Frant Lun is his younger brother! As the older brother, it is the duty of the older brother to clean up the mess for his younger brother.

"Tell Philip, don't always be smart. I will take care of what happened today, but this is the last time!

No matter what happens next, Baird I and Bolent I cannot have any surprises.

And your idiotic evacuation plan, stop it immediately. Do you really think that all the representatives of the House of Representatives in the Human Alliance are dead?

It's okay when no one is watching. You countries act together and you may be able to cover up the matter with the help of personal connections.

But now because you idiots are messing around and offending the Alpha people to death, they are just waiting for you to make mistakes!

Using allied troops as cannon fodder, placing the monarchs of neighboring countries under house arrest, and then committing the crime of desertion, do you want to put yourself on the gallows with your own hands, just to feel comfortable? "

Charles III said angrily.

Deep down, he already secretly regretted it. If he had known that the matter was so troublesome, he would not have spent a lot of money to put his younger brother on the throne.

The profits from this investment have not yet been seen, but the troubles have not stopped. From the early days of kingdom building to the current precarious situation, the family has paid a high price.

If you stop your losses now, you will lose all your money. If you hold on to it, at least there is hope of recovering the cost.

After all, it is not only the royal family that invests in the Farland Kingdom, but also a group of powerful people in the country.

Originally, I just wanted to find a good job for my children, but I didn't expect that the situation developed too fast, and the mainland war broke out before I could gain a firm foothold.

Additional investment is definitely not as important as your own main business. The Frankish Kingdom must give priority to the domestic battlefield, and the support it can provide to the Frankish Kingdom is very limited.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! What happened this time was a complete accident, and there will definitely be no next time!

The main reason is that the Alpha people are so despicable that they don’t admit to what they have done and bite us back!

Especially the two weaklings Carlisle and Houston, who had clearly promised to stand with us in advance, unexpectedly turned against us on the spot and caught us off guard..."

It's okay not to explain. After hearing what Earl Davis said, the anger in Charles III's heart rose again.

"snort!"

After giving a cold shout, he walked away directly. Deep down in his heart, he understood very well that the lack of political experience of these people was not due to their own abilities, but more to the position of their families!

The Frankish Kingdom is different from the Alpha Kingdom. The mortality rate of noble children is not that high. In order to avoid trouble during the change of power, heirs are often trained intensively.

Other children can also receive family resources, but the education they receive is not exactly the same. Many people are trained to be professionals from birth.

These people are all talents in their respective fields. The ability to consider problems comprehensively will inevitably be lacking.

Located in the core area of ​​​​the human race, there are not many opportunities within the Frankish Kingdom. Even if you can go out to start a business, it will not be a problem to become a small and medium-sized noble lord through temporary supplementary lessons.

But the plan did not change quickly. A few decades ago, no one knew there was an opportunity to establish the Farland Kingdom.

A group of people who were originally supposed to be ordinary nobles of the kingdom were pushed to the forefront by the tide of the times and were in charge of the destiny of a country.

Suddenly being in a high position cannot be compensated by temporary tutoring. If the world is peaceful, with the support of the Frankish Kingdom, they can slowly learn experience at work.

Unexpectedly, the troubled times came too early, and before he was ready, he ushered in the first international game, and was taught a hard lesson by the Alpha people.

Charles III was unwilling to talk nonsense because he knew very well that if you want people to mature politically quickly, you can only let people continue to step on pitfalls.

For example, right now, if the powerful people in the Farland Kingdom cannot put aside their desire to prove their abilities, it will be impossible for them to mature politically.

You are destined to pay tuition, and it is cheaper to pay it early. The Alpha Kingdom wants cannon fodder, but it won't kill these nobles.

Just like the Five Prairie Nations who brutally used their allies as cannon fodder, the Alpha people's next operation must be more technical, at least on the surface it will not leave any evidence for attack.

…

Pius VII also encountered similar troubles. But because of the distance, he received the news a little later.

There was no warning in advance, and there was no rush to express anger. He was equally angry, but he was even more angry that Alpha Man didn't give him face.

Of course, the anger wasn't that great this time. After all, it is not just a matter of a day or two for the Alpha Kingdom to stop buying into the Holy See's account.

"Is there any news about Josip and Jelacic?"

Pius VII asked with concern.

After not receiving any news for a long time, he already had an ominous premonition deep in his heart. Even if the team sent is very strong, the strength of these people will still be greatly reduced when they reach the sea.

If the enemy does not give them a chance to fight in close combat, most of the knights will have nothing to show for their strength and will be reduced to spectators in naval battles.

But the place where the fleet disappeared was close to the Alpha Kingdom. Others don't dare to do evil things to people from the Holy See, but it's hard to tell when they encounter those Alpha lunatics.

"Your Majesty, we are working hard to investigate. Judging from the current situation, the team looking for the artifact is probably in trouble.

According to the information collected, before the pirate fleet disappeared, a Dalton family warship was sunk on the southeast coast of the Alpha Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the main fleet of the Dalton family assembled, and even the dragon knight Hudson appeared in the fleet.

The Koslow family and the Dalton family competed for dominance in the southeastern province, and there were many secret conflicts. Under normal circumstances, Hudson should not appear in the enemy's fleet.

The only thing that can get them to join forces is a higher level of pressure.

It is very likely that Josip and Jelacic's group exposed their identities, attracted the attention of the Alpha Kingdom, and planned this operation.

It is not ruled out that the appearance of the artifact attracted the prying eyes of the Dalton family and the Koslow family, and the two families jointly planned the attack.

The possibility of the latter is relatively small. The Koslow family only has one master in Hudson, and the Dalton family's masters were also severely damaged in the last war.

We have compared the strength of the two fleets. Although the Dalton family fleet has the upper hand, it does not have the ability to completely annihilate the Barbarian Beard pirate group.

On the vast sea, as long as they want to leave, most warships should be able to escape.

If they were the only ones to take action, even if our people would lose, the entire army would not be destroyed.

Only the Alphas sent more masters to join the battle. Just after the naval battle, a large number of strong men appeared on our ship, hindering the fleet's retreat.

With the dragon knight here, it would not be difficult for them to send the master to the pirate ship.

If our people have found the artifact, there's a good chance it's now in the hands of the Alphas.

Combined with their search in the foggy sea, it is likely to be the last round of hunting and extermination of survivors.

At least from all the information we have collected, no one else has seen the ghost ship except the Dalton family fleet! "

Ulisse analyzed with a serious face.

The truth or whatever, it all depends on your imagination. In the business of collecting intelligence, you can't do it without an imaginative brain.

My family members are missing, and there must be an explanation. When no evidence can be found, letting the hostile forces take the blame is the best option.

Deep down in his heart, Ulisse had a hunch that this thing was done by the Alpha people, and the Hudson and Dalton families were the specific executors.

It just so happens that the Holy See now needs to help the Kingdom of Light tide over the difficulties. However, a series of evidence currently appearing in the Alliance Parliament is very unfavorable to the Kingdom of Light. The Holy See cannot directly come out to support them to avoid suspicion.

After receiving a hint from the Pope, Ulisse, who was politically savvy, simply blamed the Alpha Kingdom for the disappearance of the treasure hunting team.

Next, let’s look at the Alpha Kingdom’s bad luck, which is the personal feud between the two families. Helping the Kingdom of Light reduce the pressure was a complete accident.

"snort!

Damn Alpha people, they have repeatedly challenged the majesty of my Holy See, this time they must be taught a lesson!

Pass the order and use the excuse of encircling and suppressing pirates to move our fleet north to put pressure on the Alpha Kingdom.

If they don't know how to advance or retreat and still want to block the route, then let our fleet continue to go north and help them encircle and suppress the ghost ship. "

Pius VII said angrily.

…

In Canglan City, Marshal Hudson, who was supposed to be riding a dragon to inspect the army's training, was currently chatting with a group of nobles on the city tower.

A dragon's roar pierced the air, and Maxim began his day's inspection work.

Compared with the huge body of the dragon, it is really not that easy to find whether there is a dragon knight on it.

If you touch fish occasionally, the people below will not notice it. After all, the dragon is not a diligent creature. It is really difficult for the dragon to work alone without a dragon knight following him.

In fact, every day when Hudson came out with the dragon, he blinded the eyes of many nobles.

You must know that the other three dragon knights on the mainland are either sleeping or playing pranks and causing trouble. If the dragon knight is not careful, the dragon will go out to rob.

When the same kind of people are not worried, Maxim, this seemingly peaceful and hard-working dragon, has become an outlier among dragons.

In the kingdom, Maxim has his own title - the most moral dragon.

As for his request for salary from the Kingdom, everyone understood. For creatures like giant dragons, which are extremely powerful in combat, everyone generally doesn't have high requirements, as long as they don't cause trouble.

It is better to give money to buy peace than to be blocked and robbed by a dragon. This guy has never been serious about his attacks. If he was killed or maimed, wouldn't it be a tragedy in life?

"Hudson, how long will the physical training of the soldiers continue?"

Count Oran asked casually.

"Let's train for another two or three months. When they can travel hundreds of miles a day with light clothing, they can barely start the next stage of training."

Hudson replied calmly.

This is not bragging. Even if you have not practiced in the extraordinary world, nourished by energy elements, the human body's physical potential is far greater than that in the technological world.

Elites who have been rigorously trained are all special forces in the technological dimension. Traveling a hundred miles a day is completely achievable.

The elites in their own territory can guarantee a certain level of combat effectiveness by traveling hundreds of miles a day without considering logistics.

Of course, this kind of high-intensity march cannot become the norm. It's okay to come here for two days occasionally, but if he does it every day, unless he can train all the soldiers into knights.

Just think about it, if one or two percent of the soldiers can reach the level of first-order knights through acquired physical training, Hudson would be satisfied.

Essentially, this is still in the exploratory stage. If you want to increase this ratio, the best way is to create a supporting cultivation method and actively absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

Hudson has studied various cultivation systems on the Aslant continent, but he is still far from creating a universal practice that requires no qualifications.

Nobles are arrogant towards common people. In addition to status, cultivation talent is also an important reason.

Hudson has conducted tests in the territory and found that the proportion of civilians with cultivation talents is much lower than that of the aristocratic group.

Compared to the God-given bloodline rumored by the outside world, Hudson is more willing to believe in genetic optimization.

There is a marriage within the aristocratic group, both parents have the talent for cultivation, and the children themselves are a combination of excellent genes.

Focus on cultivating those with cultivation talents, those without cultivation talents will be eliminated directly, and the survival of the fittest will be selected from generation to generation. The talents of the younger generations will naturally improve as a whole.

"Two or three months is not a long time. The only problem is that your training method consumes too much material. We can still persist in a short period of time, but as time goes by, no one can stand it!"

Hearing Earl Oran's complaint, Hudson smiled slightly. He had heard similar complaints made countless times, but everyone's body was still very honest.

Had it not been for the kingdom's guarantee and guaranteed supply of supplies, Hudson would not have dared to train soldiers like this. Including the training of my own private army in the past, the intensity was not so high.

Forget about other supplies, meat alone consumes more than two hundred tons every day.

Looking at the meat supply provided by the kingdom, we can see that the proportion of fish and meat is getting higher and higher, and it is obvious that the production of other meats cannot keep up.

In order to meet the needs of the army, the kingdom issued decrees requiring local lords to organize manpower to expand pig and poultry breeding.

In fact, even if the kingdom does not ask for these, the great nobles in various places will develop the breeding industry themselves due to the increased demand for meat from the army.

If the big nobles start to follow the example, they don't have to worry about the small and medium-sized nobles below not following suit. Even if they don't know why, their instinct will still make them choose to follow up.

It can be said that Hudson single-handedly led to the unprecedented development of the kingdom's breeding industry. The only question is whether this enthusiasm can be sustained.

Anyway, Hudson is not optimistic about developing the breeding industry at this time. It has nothing to do with breeding technology, it mainly depends on food.

During the war, the kingdom had no extra food to feed its livestock. Even if there is food in the warehouse, the noble men are reluctant to do this.

After all, with the current price system, the price of beef and mutton is only five times that of rye, and the price of pork is only more than three times. Raising pigs with grain is a loss of blood.

Knowing that everyone was reluctant to use food and it would not affect the kingdom's war preparations, Hudson didn't bother to care.

The slower the growth cycle is, the better. Maybe by the middle and late stages of the war, we can still catch up with these animals for slaughter.

At the very least, raising these animals can slightly improve the food supply for the people at the bottom. Noble men are reluctant to throw away pork.

“All to win the war!

The hard times are only temporary. When the mainland war is over and the military pressure is not as great as it is now, our consumption will come down.

If you're lucky, you might even get some unexpected gains. We can't afford to offend the elves, and the ghostly place where the ancient remnants live has no plot value, but the orc prairie kingdom still has a chance to get a share of the pie.

The seven grassland kingdoms were destroyed by the orcs, and it is still unknown whether they can be restored. Anyway, now we have fallen out with our neighboring countries, so it doesn’t matter if we offend a little more harshly.

If we move the boundary line outward and divide each family into one county, we can treat it as compensation for our military expenses. Overall, we shouldn't lose too much. "

Hudson said again.

The most powerful measure to improve the combat effectiveness of the army is training?

No!

From Hudson's perspective, that's just the foundation for normal play. If you want everyone to perform at a super level, you still have to rely on painting.

This is a very technical test. Ordinary soldiers are easy to fool, and their appetites are not very big. Throwing in some noble titles is enough to make them fight hard.

But the big nobles in the kingdom are different. These people have good vision and brains, and Hudson doesn't dare to treat them as fools.

Even if you are painting a cake, you must paint a cake that everyone can smell. People can see through pure falsehood at a glance.

Therefore, the elves and ancient relics must be excluded, and only the prairie can make plans.

Although it is the land of allies, now that everyone has fallen out, there is no need to be so polite.

One family and one county, everyone has the strength to eat it, and at the same time, the interests of all the major forces in the kingdom can be tied to the border.

When the neighbors are weak, this is a forward base for external expansion; when the neighbors are strong, everyone can cooperate sincerely to face the threat of foreign enemies, which is a good choice for all parties.

"Marshal, are you so optimistic about this war?"

Count Carles asked in surprise.

Everyone is thinking about how to survive the crisis. Many people have made plans to go home and defend the castle after defeat. It is really hard to imagine that their coach has already sharpened his sword...

"Ha ha……"

"Count Carles, risks and opportunities always coexist. As long as we fight fast enough on the battlefield, we can win this war.

The Orc Empire has fallen. The Seven Prairie Kingdoms are seven countries in name, but the military strength of one of them may not be able to catch up with yours.

Even the orcs couldn't defeat such an opponent in one fell swoop. Doesn't that explain the problem?

After defeating the Orc Empire, we blitzed the ancient coalition forces, and we negotiated with the remaining elves.

Anyway, we are not bordering on them. In the past, there was no hatred and the two sides had a basis for compromise. "

He kept deceiving all parties and said many things so many times that Hudson himself almost believed him.

The Orc Empire's slow progress on the battlefield is not only due to military strength, but also due to logistical pressure.

The seven grassland kingdoms are so rich that they would shed tears even if the mice were there, and the loot would be pitiful.

There is no need to fortify the walls and clear the country, they themselves are "clear". For some of the orc races that eat grass, this is not a big problem.

The local noble lords were not determined to fight to the death, so they would not force the people to feed the orcs.

There was not much of a population in the first place, and once they dispersed across the vast prairie, even fewer "vegetarians" were captured by the orc army.

The lessons learned from the last war still reminded the Orc Empire. Taking into account the issue of internal unity, the five royal families also had to restrain themselves and did not dare to openly use the cannon fodder race as military rations.

In addition, he was worried that the troops would lose too much, so he did not work as hard as before when attacking the city.

Especially after he realized that the defenders were just delaying time and giving the Human Alliance an explanation, he had no interest in attacking by force.

Under the superposition of multiple factors, the attacking speed of the orc army seemed very weak.

No matter what the truth is, when it comes to Hudson, the Kingdom's coach, it must be a sign of the decline of the Orcs.

Based on the principle of cheating one by one, Hudson did not hesitate to brainwash everyone over and over again.

The following strategies are all based on the premise of quickly defeating the orcs and achieving a great victory. If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, just pretend that Master Hudson didn't say anything about it.

Judging from the current situation, there are still very few nobles who believe in this judgment.

The main reason is that these guys in high positions not only have good brains, but also have a group of think tanks behind them to help with analysis. It is really difficult to fool them.

Even though I knew it was a scam, I still came to attend the party. In essence, I still felt unsure and wanted to seek psychological comfort.

Of course, these suspicions were limited to gatherings of big nobles, and everyone showed confidence outside.

Every time we go back, everyone will artistically process Ha's deception method and pass it on to his subordinates.

In a word, they, the higher-ups of the kingdom, can be doubtful, but the middle and lower nobles and lower-level soldiers below must firmly believe that the kingdom can win the war.

If there is a setback on the battlefield in the future, it will be after everyone's joint efforts - the kingdom wins the war.

Any questions or problems must be analyzed with the conclusion that "the kingdom can win the war".
