king.

Chapter 179
The Crown Prince ushered in an uninvited guest, and the barracks suddenly became lively, and Hudson's head also grew bigger.

The inspection is the inspection, and the performance of the Crown Prince Caesar is impressive. It is clear that he wants to put the camp here and is not going to leave.

It can only be said that performing too well is also a sin.As the only unit in the expeditionary force that seems to have combat effectiveness, it will naturally attract more attention from above.

It is inconvenient to do anything with one more boss watching.For example: the marching speed that has just been reduced must be restored again.

From the armed parade of twenty miles a day, it has evolved to the elite standard of sixty miles a day.

Fortunately for these soldiers, since the Kingdom ordered mobilization half a year ago, the standard of food has been improved.The current physical fitness is sufficient for this kind of high-intensity march.

Coupled with the arrival of the crown prince, the morale was further boosted, and the performance along the way was remarkable.

The people below were excited, but Hudson was not happy.The arrival of Crown Prince Caesar, seemingly without affecting him, has actually weakened his control over the troops.

The little nobles under his command heard that the crown prince was coming, and they were all excited like a festival.

If it weren't for the strict internal hierarchy of the nobles, which restrained their behavior, I'm afraid these guys couldn't help but lean over and show off in front of the crown prince.

"Legion Commander, Your Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you!"

Hudson frowned at the guard's words.Others hold banquets every now and then at most, but he accepts invitations every day.

The content of the discussion is also varied, sometimes it is to discuss the situation of the kingdom, sometimes it is to discuss the next marching route and combat deployment, and sometimes it is purely listening to His Highness the Crown Prince's complaints...

Most of the time, Hudson suffers from the role of listener.It's not that he deliberately hides his clumsiness, it's really the question raised by Crown Prince Caesar, which is very sensitive every time.

As His Royal Highness the crown prince, he already belongs to the top dignitaries in the mainland, so it doesn't matter what situation he comments on or what radical views he expresses.

But Hudson can't.His status determines that he cannot intervene too much in sensitive issues, let alone express his position easily.

Hudson can only cope with the wooing of Crown Prince Caesar.Although this is the only legal son of the king, he is not a king after all.

Even if he does become king, Hudson will not easily go to the past.Caesar III is strong, because his political skills are strong enough, and his actions are generous enough to be convincing.

Just because the father is strong does not mean that the son must be good. Most of the time, if there is a strong father, the son will most likely be raised and abandoned.

Whether or not Crown Prince Caesar has been raised or abandoned is still unclear for the time being, but the desire to make contributions and surpass his own father has been shown.

A crown prince who wants to do business is destined not to be liked by the nobles.Being suppressed by Caesar III for so long, no one wants to be suppressed forever.

When Crown Prince Caesar takes office, there will inevitably be a wave of rebounding competition for the right to speak politically.

Hudson doesn't want to get involved in this level of game.In case of standing on the wrong team, the future will be hard.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

After all, it was the crown prince who invited him. After speaking, Hudson dropped the things in his hands and walked out of his tent.

……

"Your Highness, the difficulties faced by the reinforcements from all walks of life are different, and it is difficult to find the crux of the problem without a deep understanding.

It might be difficult for them to catch up.It is better to let the provinces conduct self-examination, find out where the problem is, and solve the problem of slow action as soon as possible. "

Another day of discussions surrounding the slowness of colleagues.The smooth Hudson naturally wouldn't say anything that would spoil the scenery.

Let the provinces conduct self-examination, which is obviously just a show.If the problem can be solved, the matter will not be delayed until now.

As for what the Crown Prince requested, let all the reinforcements catch up as soon as possible, unless the Wrightshire Army slowed down and waited.

Otherwise, at the current speed of sixty miles a day, if you run wildly in front, unless you let the people behind you fly, it will be impossible to catch up.

"Hey!"

"The situation is difficult, why don't those guys know how to take care of the overall situation?
If everyone is as dedicated and conscientious as Viscount Hudson, why don't you worry about the orcs' injustice!

......"

Hudson pretended not to hear the crown prince's indignant complaints.He would not do such a thing that offended people for no reason.

In fact, judging from the official public information, the performance of colleagues from all walks of life is already very good.

All reinforcements have already set off.Even the team with the slowest marching speed has reached forty miles a day.

For a team that was put together improvised, being able to achieve this speed obviously gave Caesar, the crown prince, face.

Traveling sixty miles a day like the Wrightshire Legion is already the performance of the kingdom's elite.

Of course, an army composed of pure practitioners does not count.

The standard equipment for those guys is to start at eighty miles a day.If there is no logistical drag, it is no problem to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Perhaps feeling that Crown Prince Caesar was acting a little out of character, Count Jose on the side changed the topic and said:
"Your Highness, the special envoy of the Principality of Moxi will join us soon, do you think?"

Hearing the "Principality of Moxi", Crown Prince Caesar, who was still complaining, regained his spirits in an instant.

"Now is the time of war, and the reception work can be kept simple. It is estimated that the special envoy of the Principality of Moxi will not mind these details.

We don't know enough about the frontline situation of the Principality of Moxi. If we rush to the battlefield, we will suffer a lot.

It is best to rest in the Principality of Moxi for a period of time, and take the next step after the reinforcements from various countries gather.

These things must be explained clearly to them first.It would be bad to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings from time to time and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. "

Caesar's words made Hudson's eyes shine.

Just looking at this "hands-on" skill, you can know that the crown prince in front of you still has a political mind.

Even if he is eager to make contributions, he has not forgotten his own position.As reinforcements, they were just helping out in the past, not going to stand up for mines.

For war within the scope of ability, help is naturally out of the question.Things beyond one's own ability should be shirked or have to be shirked.

Clarify the topic in advance and vaccinate the Principality of Moxi, so as not to assign tasks indiscriminately and make everyone unhappy.

……

In the Principality of Moxi, after the initial joy, the deteriorating situation on the front line quickly brought Chris IX back to reality.

In addition to the original Yingren imperial court, the armies of the other four major imperial courts also appeared in the Principality of Moxi, and the assembled orc army exceeded 60.

The most direct response to the huge military pressure is the emergency letters from the front line, one after another.

The counterattack plan is out of the question for the time being, the most important thing now is to take care of the present.

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

Chris IX asked with concern.

The Principality of Moxi has already started full-scale mobilization, and the reserve team prepared earlier has now been dispatched to the front line.

Even so, it barely blocked the enemy's front.As time goes by, the defensive pressure is also increasing.

Relying on the strength of the Principality of Moxi alone, there is almost no hope to stop the orc army.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with various countries. The Alpha Kingdom's reinforcements are the fastest, and the [-] elite vanguard troops have already arrived at the border area.

The follow-up troops are also on the way, but the marching speed is slower.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively courting Crown Prince Caesar.

If all goes well, we will welcome the first support army in ten days. "

Renato replied slightly embarrassed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has really tried its best, but it will take time for the reinforcements to arrive.

The plan has never changed quickly. Originally, it was thought that the Alpha Kingdom would send reinforcements nearby, but in the end they called in troops from the rear.

He didn't say anything, but in actual actions, the Alpha Kingdom has already shown that they are not optimistic about them.

Especially in the border area, the continuous defense fortifications are clearly preparing for the fall of the Principality of Moxi.

If you know it, you know it, Renato must not say this kind of thing, otherwise the hearts of the people in the country will be confused.

Not only is the performance of the Alpha Kingdom disappointing, but the performance of the surrounding neighbors is also unsatisfactory.

The reinforcements were indeed sent out, but the quality was hard to say.

According to the information collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among all the reinforcements known so far, only the "Wright County Legion" can be called an elite division.

In line with the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, Renato can only choose good content to say.

The rest of the bad things can be reported to the king in private, there is no need for the whole world to know.

"Send someone to urge you to tell the nobles who came to the rescue that as long as they make great contributions in the defense of the Principality of Moxi, we will reward you heavily.

Gold, silver and jewellery, fine clothes and fine food, beauties and titles are all available, even if it is a fiefdom! "

Chris IX said cruelly.

The nobles are all realistic, and it is impossible to ask everyone to work hard if they don't give some benefits.

These are all following the example of the Alpha Kingdom. Every time a war ends, a large number of foreign nobles will be rewarded among the reinforcements from various countries.

Occasionally, there are foreign nobles who take root in the Alpha Kingdom and open another branch.

But these are things of the past.A country that is often beaten is not so attractive to nobles.

Especially the fiefs, which are basically on the front line.If you want to keep your own fiefdom, you must fight the orcs desperately.

Most of the nobles who got the fief fell on the battlefield under the baptism of the orc army round after round.

There are many failure cases, and the big nobles from all over the world have gradually given up the idea of ​​opening a branch in the Alpha Kingdom.

The land that had been confiscated was finally returned to the Alpha Kingdom after several turnovers.

There are ready-made cases, and Chris IX will naturally follow suit.Although the success rate of fooling people is not high, there is no harm in trying.

Anyway, the war has progressed until now, and there have been many unclaimed lands in the Principality of Moxi.If this fight continues, there will only be more unowned land.

There is no problem in fulfilling the fief promise after the war.On the contrary, it is the finances within gold, silver and jewelry that are really difficult to cash out.

……

In the Kingdom of Warhammer, seeing the orc army constantly testing its borders, Joseph II was furious.

It was clearly agreed that everyone would join forces to counterattack, but they were ready to take action, and the Principality of Moxi lost the chain directly, and had to wait for reinforcements from various countries to arrive.

The reinforcements from the neighboring countries did not wait, but the reinforcements from the orcs arrived first.

Although the orcs' strength is far from enough for the battle to destroy the country, it has also brought great pressure to the Warhammer Kingdom.

In order not to irritate the orcs, Joseph II even ordered the front-line troops to prohibit active provocation.

From a military point of view, this is a very funny order.

The two countries have been at war for less than half a year, and the word "provocation" is still used, which is really ridiculous.

But there is no way, the Kingdom of Warhammer is no match for the orc army.Once the orcs are angered, they will be in danger of destroying the country.

"The Terran Alliance meeting is about to start. Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have a plan to persuade the nations of the Terran to send reinforcements as soon as possible?"

Joseph II asked expectantly.

Looking at the efficiency of a few neighbors in rescuing the Principality of Moxi, we can see that it will definitely take a long time for the entire Human Race Alliance to act.

Referring to the alliance meetings in history, the short ones lasted for one or two months, and the long ones directly wrangled for three to five years.

Fortunately, it is sitting in the world now. If it was played like this when fighting the world, the human race would have been cold by now.

Even just holding a meeting can be delayed so much, but the efficiency of specific execution is not to be expected.

All parties reached an agreement within half a year and sent reinforcements within a year. This was the highest efficiency of the alliance when the Alpha Kingdom asked for help in the past.

Most of the time, it will take more than two years before the reinforcements from various countries will arrive one after another.

Of course, there are factors of long distances, but there are too many intertwined interest entanglements, which are difficult to deal with.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated the relationship between the eleven countries, and we will make a joint proposal at the alliance meeting.

The Alpha Kingdom said they had a good chance of persuading the Frankish Kingdom to support the proposal, but the trouble was that the Holy See might make trouble.

At present, we have reached an agreement with [-] countries with relevant interests, and we will form a public relations team together to win the support of as many countries as possible. "

Cassidy said exhaustedly.

These days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is definitely the busiest department in the Warhammer Kingdom.

In order to push the Terran Alliance to send troops, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has tried its best.

The joint proposal of the eleven countries means that the name sounds good.

Except for the Alpha Kingdom, the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Principality of Moxi, the words of the three kingdoms have some weight, and the rest of the small countries follow suit.

There is nothing wrong with someone waving the flag and shouting, but it is a pity that the people who are persuaded are the neighbors of the three countries.

Everyone is willing to participate, mainly because they are worried that if something goes wrong in the Three Kingdoms, the flames of war will burn on their own heads.

"It's the Holy See again, can't they do some personnel work!"

Joseph II couldn't help complaining.

None of the qualified kings liked the Holy See.

Finally, hundreds of years ago, everyone worked together to force the Holy See back to their hometown, and no one wanted to return to the hundreds of years of white terror.

Perhaps because he didn't feel like complaining enough, Joseph II added: "If the Holy See dares to make trouble on the issue of sending troops, then support the proposal of the Franks and bring down the face of the Holy See!"
