Chapter 493 Strategic Extension
The benefits are touching, and under the stimulation of generous prizes, the students started the crazy introversion mode, and the laboratory was overcrowded every day.

In fact, it is not only the students who are greedy for the magic potion, even many college instructors are also tempted.It's just that this is a competition for students, and they really can't hold back their face.

Everyone was busy in full swing, laying the technical foundation for the establishment of the Near East Development Bank.

The first batch of magic crystal cards were in place, and the three major outlets opened together, without flowers or applause, and they opened quietly.

For such a low-key bank, the performance is naturally not much better.The users who came to open the card in the early stage are all old friends.

It's not that Hudson doesn't know the importance of publicity, the main reason is that the bank is still in the process of doing business, and it simply doesn't have the ability to serve more customers.

After all, it is mainly noble lords who are being contacted now, so you can't let them line up to handle business, right?

Since you have chosen to take the high-end route, you must come up with matching services.There were few customers in the early stage, just to train the team.

The three major outlets issued a total of 130 six magic crystal cards, which was the number at the opening, which made Mr. Hudson very satisfied.

The number of customers is indeed small, but they are all high-quality customers. More than 100 cardholders deposited more than 30 gold coins in cash, which gave him enough face.

The next most important thing is not to expand the deposit business, let alone find loan customers, but to let everyone see the benefits of the bank.

Anyway, after the money is collected, it can be piled into the warehouse, and there is no need to pay interest on the funds. The biggest expense is nothing more than personnel salaries. Hudson is not worried about cost pressure at all.

Soon came the day of the skill competition. As the biggest sponsor and honorary principal of the event, Hudson attended the event as a matter of course.

The theme of the event is a competition of skills, so naturally it will not be limited to the production of magic crystal cards. The two colleges have also added, alchemy, medicine refining, divination, fighting skills, magic circle...

Projects increased, and sponsors increased as well.In addition to Hudson, the royal family, some big nobles, and chambers of commerce also came to join in the fun.

The value of the prizes provided is definitely not comparable to that of Hudson, but it is better in a variety of categories and applicable.

The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the attention of the outside world has also been drawn up.Maybe it was because they were bored, all the princes and ministers, including King Caesar IV, came to join in the fun.

Hudson, who was not prepared to continue to show off, declined the invitation to give a speech at the opening ceremony, and chose to sit in the VIP seat with the dignitaries of the capital.

Looking at the dense melon-eating crowd at the scene, Hudson was very suspicious of the nobles in the capital, and now they all ran over to join in the fun.

It's nothing more than watching the fun by myself, but he actually dragged his family along.Before the game started, the scene became lively first.

The students who maintained order couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, Caesar IV called in the palace guards to maintain order.

"Robert, how many tickets did you sell and why are there so many people watching?"

Hudson asked jokingly.

Comparing the flow of people at the scene with the seats prepared in advance, we know that the plan is out of touch with reality, which is obviously due to the lack of relevant experience in holding events.

It is estimated that the senior management of the college did not expect that the nobles of the capital would be so enthusiastic, and they all brought their families to watch the excitement.

Not only was it overcrowded outside, even the VIP seats were a little crowded.Many dignitaries brought their families with them, so the organizers could only temporarily add chairs.

"Ticket, what ticket?
Marshal Hudson, you can't slander my innocence! "

Robert hurriedly explained.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he only invited a few sponsors for this event, and the rest of the guests came uninvited.

In order to limit the flow of people and prevent "cult members" from mixing in to do things, he ordered the academy's security personnel to strictly check their identities and prohibit non-nobles from entering.

It's a pity that he still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people who eat melons.For such an important event, everyone wanted to come and watch it. The nobles were not alone, and the number of people finally exceeded the estimate.

The chaos at the scene was embarrassing enough.It would be even more embarrassing if he was misunderstood as a "mercenary".

Thinking that he, Robert, is a strong man in the sanctuary and the headmaster of the Arcane Academy, how could he bend down for a little money!
"There are no tickets, no wonder there are so many people. With such a large flow of people, you old boy is not afraid to mix in..."

Halfway through the complaint, Hudson decisively chose to shut up when he saw that Caesar IV's face was livid.

The previous king, Caesar III, died young because of an assassination. Talking about such a sensitive topic is giving the king eye drops.

Judging from the arrangement of the VIP seats, Hudson knew that he would have to work part-time as a bodyguard today.

Deep down, he already secretly despised Robert's lack of economic acumen.

If you have a flexible mind, you can sell tickets at different prices according to different viewing positions, which not only limits the flow of people, but can also earn at least 10,000+ gold coins.

If we pull up some banners, engage in advertising sponsorship, and sell tea and snacks, the income will be even more lucrative.

No wonder the college is short of money, such a good cash flow channel has been given up by themselves.

Anyway, the prizes are all sponsored by Lara, and if this kind of activity is held several times a year, it will be worth millions of dollars.

As long as you can invite all the dignitaries in the capital, you won't have to worry about no one buying tickets.

The nobles of the kingdom are poor, and that is only for large expenses.There is still no shortage of ticket fees for one or two gold coins.

Contempt is contempt, Hudson still didn't meddle in his own business.This kind of suggestion is put forward, it is purely thankless.

If it is spread that the nobleman who went out to pay for tickets, he must be scolded to death behind his back.

The students competed hard below, and the guests in the VIP seats had already communicated with each other.Some commented on the competition, and some talked about it.

Except for his own children who paid special attention to the results of the competition, the rest of the rich and powerful came to eat melons and watch the fun.

This is the age of nobility!
Except for wartime, or the need to develop new territories, the nobles are free most of the time.

The inherent production model, the productivity that has not changed for thousands of years, and the governance of the territory can be directly copied from the original experience.

The king's affairs are slightly more involved, but it mainly depends on whether the monarch wants to start a career.

The monarch of salted fish is no different from noble lords.In normal times, as long as you don't look for work, you will basically be fine.

The career monarch, that is another model.There are endless official duties every day, and there are countless plans waiting to be planned.

There is no doubt that Caesar IV was a career-oriented monarch.He inherited the wishes of the successive monarchs of the Alpha Kingdom, and prepared to solve the threat of orcs in his lifetime.

Compared with the previous monarchs of the kingdom, Caesar IV faced a much better situation.Not only has the good foundation left by Caesar III, the key is that the orc empire has entered a period of decline.

"Marshal Hudson, I heard that the orc empire has started to change again. The four royal families want to start a legion battle and choose a new race to fill the vacancy left by Beamon. What do you think?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.

With the resumption of the smuggling trade, a large number of caravans entered the prairie. The biggest convenience is that it is easier for the kingdom to collect information on the orc empire.

There are so many orc races and tribes, there will always be a few willing to cooperate.Especially those tribes that were on the brink of destruction dared to sell any news.

Of course, intelligence gathering is also mutual.It is easier for the kingdom to collect information about orcs, and it is also easier for the orc empire to collect information about the kingdom.

The moral integrity of those smugglers is usually more flexible.As long as the price is in place, everything is negotiable.

It's just that these people's status in the kingdom is not high, and the news that they can be sold is mostly ordinary information.

In contrast, the Kingdom still took advantage.If you can't buy news from this tribe, you will buy it from the hostile tribe.

Against the background of stabbing each other and hindering each other, almost all the big orc tribes and the kingdom have established data files.

The big news of the "legion battle" that may affect the future political structure of the orc empire was transmitted back to the country immediately.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to succeed. Although the four royal families of the orcs used a conspiracy, each family has to consider the consequences of failure.

Directly putting the main force into the battle on the battlefield, even if you win the final victory, you will inevitably lose your strength.

Not having enough strength, but occupying the position of the royal family, that is the second Beamon family, not even as good as the Beamon family.

For the kingdom, it is best that the fifth royal family never be selected, so that the enemies will continue to fight among themselves amid suspicion.

It's a pity that from the current point of view, it is impossible. The four royal families of the orcs have already realized the problem. Maybe our previous actions have been exposed.

It is almost impossible to use the battle of royal families to bring more orc races into the water.

If possible, it is best to let all races unite to boycott legion battles!
The rule of the five royal families is too old to keep up with the times. I think we should help them and introduce the orcs into the civilized world.

Fighting and killing cannot solve the problem.The battle for the position of the royal family is not impossible to solve.

Now the various clans are fighting fiercely, mainly because there is only one royal seat, and it will be different if a few more seats are added.

Anyway, no one stipulated that the orc empire can only have five royal families.To broaden your horizons, the co-governance of the ten royal families is also a good choice.

If you think it is not enough, you can also become a co-government of the [-] or [-] royal families.

Your Majesty, as a good neighbor of the orcs, I think the kingdom needs to teach them: use more flexible means to solve problems! "

Hudson suggested with a smile.

As for the royal family, more is never better.The original joint rule of the five royal families is already chaotic enough.

Now from the five-element monarchy to the N-element monarchy, more and more races have the highest decision-making power, and the weaker the voice of a single royal family.

If you want to unify your position, it is far easier to persuade only 4 people than 9 people.

Lowering the efficiency of decision-making is second, and the key is the emergence of new models, accompanied by an increase in the number of superiors.

The emerging royal family wants to strengthen their racial strength, and the speed of simply relying on "farming" to accumulate strength is too slow.

The best choice is to squeeze the small and medium-sized races in the country, gather resources and wealth in the shortest possible time, and lay a material foundation for the growth of their own race.

The heavy pressure is bound to intensify the internal conflicts of the orc empire.The small and medium races may not be able to resist, but the four royal families whose interests have been damaged will not let it go.

The cake that was originally shared by the four of them has now become a group of people sharing it, and no one's psychology will be balanced.

What's more, what everyone is fighting for is not only pure interests, but also the living space of their own race.Every political concession will be accompanied by the shrinking of the living space of the race.

When things developed to that point, civil strife would break out in the Orc Empire itself without the need for provocation from the kingdom.

"Marshal, you are playing with fire!

If the plan is successful, the Orc Empire will indeed fall into chaos.But this kind of chaos is also accompanied by opportunities. If the orc empire is unified amid internal strife, it will be in big trouble.

The rule of a single emperor is far more capable of integrating the power of the orc empire than the joint rule of the five emperors.The power that can be erupted by then will definitely be several times that of now! "

Caesar IV said with a serious expression.

Hudson's plan is a proper "high risk, high return".If it succeeds, the kingdom will soar into the sky, and if it fails, it will face the challenge of genocide.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much, if the orcs could be unified, they would have already been unified.

Looking at the major races of orcs, none of them can account for one-tenth of the country's strength. What do they use to rule the empire?

No matter how powerful a person is, it must be based on strength.The strengths of the several orc clans are very close, and no one will obey the other.

In the world of orcs, compromise means downfall.The infighting between various races is much more intense than in the human world.

If it wasn't for the royal family's forceful suppression, I am afraid that the weak races in the orc empire would all become food.

It is impossible for the orcs to unify. The trouble is to return to the era of joint rule by the five royal families.They have used this system for hundreds of years and have accumulated rich experience.

Once the fifth royal family is born, the orc empire will soon be on the right track, and the threat to the kingdom is the greatest.

In addition, whether it becomes the co-governance of the four royal families or the co-governance of countless royal families, it is a new mode of governance.

Any new political model will take time to adapt.It is impossible for them to understand without tossing around for ten or eight years.

What the kingdom needs most is time. If there is ten years as a buffer, the Near East strategy will basically take shape.

The twelve northern provinces that were originally threatened by the orcs have become the hinterland of the kingdom, which can continuously provide money and food for the front line.

When the next war breaks out, the Kingdom will have a qualitative breakthrough in terms of financial resources, manpower, and material resources.

With this ebb and flow, our chances of winning the war are greatly increased.As long as the orcs are defeated again, we can replicate the success of the Near East strategy and continue to erode the orc empire.

Repeated tossing several times, within 50 years, the orc empire is bound to come to an end! "

Hudson said without changing his face.

I don't know why, but since the launch of the Near East Strategy, Hudson always felt that he was possessed by a master of success.

Seriously promoting a strategy that he doesn't believe in, but there is no wave in his heart.

The picture drawn every time is the most ideal result.If you want to fully achieve your goal, you must have the right time, place and people at the same time.

The game between the Alpha Kingdom and the Orc Empire is actually just a microcosm of the contest between the human race and the alien race.One's own strength is one aspect, and the situation on the mainland is also an important factor affecting the final result.

Maybe it's because there are too few people fooling around. Caesar IV always eats these unreliable cakes very happily.

Not only the king was fooled, but even many old foxes in the political circle also liked to eat the big cakes he drew, which is outrageous!
"Since the marshal is so confident, the task of stirring up chaos within the orc empire is left to the marshal.

From now on, the kingdom's intelligence personnel within the orc empire will obey the orders of the marshal.

But Marshal should pay attention, these intelligence personnel are not necessarily reliable, many orc spies were bought by us at a high price, and they have no sense of belonging to the kingdom.

It’s okay to inquire about the news. If you want them to die, or affect the interests of their race and tribe, these people are likely to stand against us again! "

The words of Caesar IV made Hudson swallow the words of refusal.It's really troublesome to operate this plan, but he really needs an intelligence organization.

The intelligence organization of the grassroots team in the mountain area is now limited to collecting information circulating in the market in major cities, and it simply does not have the ability to play high-end infiltration.

The nobles who can be monitored are limited to his own subordinates.Other big forces can't infiltrate at all, at most they can buy a few fringe figures who are unwilling.

The understanding of the orc empire comes entirely from the information provided by the smugglers.These materials are collected incidentally, and they are not professional at all.

If you want to do things in the orc empire, the only thing you can rely on is the intelligence organization of the kingdom.

Perhaps the five major families of the Northern Lands also planted eyeliners within the Beastman Empire, but the relationship between the two parties determined that it was not something that Hudson could spy on.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, apart from normal intelligence transmission, I will not easily use these intelligence personnel.

Even if the task is issued, it will be within their ability, and they will never use the task to test their loyalty! "

Hudson immediately promised.

It is not easy to infiltrate among alien races, and the kingdom must have paid a high price for being able to establish an intelligence organization in the orc empire.
