king.

Misfortunes never come singly. While discussing the situation in the province of Mythia, three more letters for help flew in from the front.

The Minister of Military Affairs, who was still full of confidence, was suddenly dumbfounded.

Simply to suppress the rebellion, the Kingdom of Hesse is naturally out of the question.But the problem is that the main force of the kingdom is mostly gathered on the front line.

According to the original idea, except for a part of the troops left behind in the capital, the main duty of the kingdom's standing army is to guard the frontiers, and the private army of the nobles is responsible for maintaining local law and order.

No one thought that this perfect military structure would be broken after the cult rebellion superimposed natural disasters.

The more chaos there is in the country, the less they dare to mobilize the frontline troops.It would be a tragedy if the foreign army took advantage of the fire and killed them as soon as the troops moved forward.

The army staying in the capital has been mobilized three times. If they continue to mobilize troops from inside, everyone will not be able to sleep.

The sudden change of the situation made things suddenly complicated.

Under normal circumstances, the great nobles would not seek help from the kingdom government.After all, it is their own territory, and no one wants to be dictated by others.

The four provinces were forced to seek help from the kingdom government. It is conceivable how dangerous the local situation is.If it continues to deteriorate, it will really be the end of the dynasty.

Alexander V, the self-proclaimed hero of a generation, would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Everyone is dumb!"

"Aren't you quite capable in normal times? Why did you become dumb at the critical moment?"

"There are also these four idiots who are asking for help. They can't even take care of their own territory. What a waste!"

……

The chattering and cursing voices continued to linger in everyone's ears. At this moment, Alexander V no longer had the demeanor of a monarch in the past.

Perhaps it was held for too long, but when he suddenly let it go, Alexander V felt extremely relaxed.

The originally accumulated anger, accompanied by a burst of output, was almost vented, and his tone gradually returned to calm.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

The topic was suddenly pulled back to the track of solving the problem. The people who bowed their heads and were being scolded were very uncomfortable and almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

After hesitating for a while, the prime minister, the Duke of Milton, replied bravely: "Your Majesty, in view of the deteriorating situation in the country, we must prepare for the worst.

Judging from the intelligence collected from various places, rebels of varying sizes have appeared in almost every province, and it may be beyond their capabilities to dispatch troops from other provinces to suppress the rebellion.

For the current plan, the only way is to ask for help from the Five-Nation Alliance.This wave of cult rebellion did not cause much damage to the Northern Continent. Both the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi have suppressed the rebellion.

To the two countries..."

While talking, Duke Milton suddenly couldn't continue.It would be embarrassing enough to ask an ally for help, but asking for help from a principality would be too embarrassing.

It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, the meaning has been expressed, and everyone knows what to do next.

"Marquis Krasner, I will leave this matter to you to coordinate. There is only one principle: the core interests of the kingdom cannot be moved, and you can handle the rest!"

Alexander V immediately made a decision.

On the battlefield, soldiers are extremely fast, and it is even more urgent to ask for help.Alexander V, who didn't want to be the king of subjugation, showed the responsibility of the king at this moment.

It's okay to lose face if you lose face. The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the international reputation of the Kingdom of Hesse has long since fallen to the bottom.

If it drags on, it won't be a matter of face, but a matter of losing face.

Although there is a price to pay for asking for help, this part of the loss is controllable. After all, everyone is an ally, and there is a common enemy. We must always stay on the front line when doing things.

……

The wheel of history continued to move forward, and when the Kingdom of Hesse couldn't hold on to foreign aid, the cult chaos also reached its climax.

Not only are the nations of the human race suffering, but the lives of other races are not so easy. Even the elves, known for their unity, now have a new branch—the fallen elves!
It's all normal operation. Foreign races can sponsor cults in the human race world, and human races will naturally sponsor cults in alien races.

In order to support cult organizations in the alien world, the Terran Alliance has also set up a special fund.

In addition, countries on the mainland will also instinctively support some cult organizations among foreign races.

Hudson doesn't know much about cult organizations in other places, but several major cult organizations in the Orc Empire have all taken funds from him.

The grassland is suffering from a severe drought, and it is easy to see that it is suitable for the spread of cult ideas.Without the slightest hesitation, Hudson asked the intelligence agency to sponsor a sum of supplies for these cult organizations.

They are all primitive cult organizations, at least two eras behind the cult groups active in the human world.

If it weren't for the scruples about influence, he would have wanted to help these cult organizations compile an activity program.

After hesitating again and again, Hudson still gave up the idea.There is no other reason, but simply worrying about the execution capabilities of these cult organizations.

The more perfect the program, the more attention is paid to detail management, and the higher the requirements for people.

The level of civilization of the orcs is there, and it is obviously embarrassing for them to do such a complicated job.

……

"You mean, a new cult organization popped up in the Orc Empire, and it didn't come to us for sponsorship?"

Hudson asked enthusiastically.

He has seen a lot of cult organizations in the Orc Empire. This is the first time Hudson has heard of such a cult organization that gave up sponsorship for safety reasons.

It's not that the cult must be sponsored from the outside. The main reason is that the Orc Empire is too poor, including the pockets of the four royal families.

In this context, the small amount of wealth contributed by believers is difficult to make up even the funds for activities.

"Yes, Marshal!

This organization hides very deeply, if it is not a chance, we would not know the existence of this organization.

Judging from the collected information, this organization likes to stir up fights between orc tribes the most.

Recently, there have been endless racial vendettas and tribal wars within the Orc Empire. In addition to our efforts, they have also contributed a lot. "

After hearing No. [-]'s answer, Hudson became more interested.Intuition told him that this mysterious organization was related to the previous border conflict.

Originally, he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, but after seeing these guys actively provoke the orcs to fight among themselves, Hudson suddenly realized that it would be good to keep these guys.

The cults that toss orcs are all good cults.It is better to let the orcs die in the internal struggle than to let them appear on the battlefield with the kingdom.

"Keep staring at them, don't rush to get close. If they have the heart, they will come to the door by themselves sooner or later!"

Hudson said with a smile.

Any ambitious orc cult organization will inevitably move closer to the kingdom in the end, which is determined by reality.

The lack of supplies is only one aspect. If you want to overthrow the rule of the royal family and become bigger and stronger, you are destined to be inseparable from the support of the Alpha Kingdom.

This is a win-win deal. The cult organization wants to rebel and go ashore, and the Alpha Kingdom needs a divided orc empire. There is a basis for cooperation between the two parties.

Hudson is not afraid that these cult organizations will grow bigger, but he is afraid that they will not grow bigger.If a rebellion similar to the Nether Cult can be launched in the Orc Empire, it will be a big profit.

But this can only be thought about, the racial barrier is not so easy to break.The four royal families + the seven royal families almost included all the powerful factions within the orc empire, and the remaining races were obviously inferior in strength.

The three clans who are responsible for guarding the front line are considered to be powerful within the Orc Empire at this moment.

However, compared with the above eleven races, there is still a big gap.If you want to make a fuss again, unless you can bring all the remaining races together.

Without drinking a few catties, normal people can't have such heaven-defying thoughts.Except for the Beast God who played in person, it is estimated that no one can do it.

As soon as No. [-] was sent away, Hudson received a message from the capital: The Kingdom of Hesse formally asked for help from the kingdom, and they will have a meeting in the capital as soon as possible.

As No.1 in the military, Hudson will naturally be absent from the meeting to discuss whether to send troops.

There is nothing to say, born to work hard.Counting all the noble lords of the Alpha Kingdom, apart from those who work in the capital, he is the most diligent in running the capital.

Basically every time a big event happens, Hudson has to go to the capital, plus routine meetings, on average, Hudson visits the capital once a month.

Running back and forth so frequently, the result is that he is very familiar with the civil and military officials of the court, no matter who he meets, he can chat for a few words, and when they walk together, they are like their own people.

Fortunately, in a joint-stock kingdom, if it was a unified dynasty, the censors would have flocked to impeachment: internal and external collusion, plotting rebellion!

As usual, they mixed in the crowd and walked into the hall in twos and threes.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hudson always feels that Caesar IV is deliberately staring at them.

If you can't find the reason for being concerned, you simply don't bother to pay attention.Anyway, he relies on his achievements to make a living, and he doesn't need to look at the king's face.

Even if the king wanted to optimize the team and change all the civil and military officials in the court, it would not be Hudson's turn to be dismissed as the frontline commander.

Without the pressure of career, naturally there is no time to figure out what Caesar IV is thinking, let alone flattering the boss.

Frankly speaking, Hudson found Caesar IV to be quite hard.None of the important officials in the court was good at trying to figure out the king's mind.

Everyone performs their duties, and they often overwhelm the king at work on weekdays.If you were a strong king, if you didn't pull them out and cut them down, at least you would have to drive people back to farm.

But Caesar IV can't!

The court is full of a group of veterans of the two dynasties, all of whom have meritorious service. Without a suitable reason, even the king cannot make personnel adjustments.

To put it another way with a low EQ: the DPRK, Chinese, military and military officials are seriously united, and the king's power has shrunk significantly.

What's worse is that this group is all "loyal ministers", and their prestige is getting higher and higher. No one thinks that there is something wrong with them vetoing the king's opinion!
It's hard to find a crime and put a label on it. What these guys did was completely an instinctive behavior. In fact, everyone didn't really form a party, and they didn't think about trying to stand up to the king.

Power is so mysterious, as long as you get to the position, no matter what the subjective thoughts of the people are, the objective result is that the royal power will be restricted.

If you are playing with a constitutional monarchy, this should be the most ideal team. Unfortunately, the Alpha Kingdom is a monarchy, and Caesar IV does not have such an advanced concept.

After greeting each other politely, Hudson returned to his seat, quietly waiting for the meeting to start.

……

"Prime Minister, since everyone has arrived, then you are in charge of presiding over the meeting!"

Caesar IV's words did not cause any waves at the scene.It is nothing new that the king does not want to preside over the meeting and leave the matter to the prime minister.

The displeasure in his tone was ignored by everyone.The king is unhappy, what does it matter to them?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the polite answer, the prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, walked to the center of the hall and said slowly: "Today, we have called you here mainly to discuss the affairs of the Kingdom of Hesse.

There are three topics:

Does the kingdom send troops?

How many troops?

Who is in charge of leading the army? "

"Prime Minister, it is inevitable for the kingdom to send troops. There is no need to waste time discussing, let's start the next two topics directly!"

Marquis Delgado answered first.

It can be seen that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not in a very good mood at the moment.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

To send troops to rescue the Kingdom of Hesse, military expenditure is bound to be indispensable.It may be possible to get more generous returns from the Hessians, but that is a matter of the future.

What's more, even if there are returns, most of them are political, and the probability of feedback to finance is very small.

As if under a curse, the Alpha Kingdom itself is a poor ghost, and the only allies it can find are poor ghosts.Even if it is not now, it will become a poor ghost in the future.

For example: the Principality of Moxi next door was once known as a wealthy party. After forming an alliance with the Alpha Kingdom, it quickly fell from a rich country to financial bankruptcy.

At least, it seems so on the surface!
The finances of the three countries in mainland China were originally very good.As a result, it caught up with this wave of chaos, and it was only a matter of time before it became a poor country.

"If everyone agrees, let's start the second topic directly!"

The prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, shrugged indifferently and said.

Suddenly, Hudson felt countless eyes cast on him, and it was obvious that everyone was interested in his opinion.

"Judging from the feedback from the Kingdom of Hesse, the main problem with the rebels is that there are too many of them, and their real combat effectiveness is actually very mediocre.

In terms of high-end strength, the Hessians can still suppress the rebels, so we only need to mobilize three standing legions and recruit some noble private troops.

The total strength should not exceed [-]!
Otherwise, logistics coordination will be very troublesome.According to the feedback from the military instructors sent, the logistical reform of the Kingdom of Hesse was very difficult. "

In just a few sentences, the amount of information exposed is not a little bit.Facts have proved that there really is no free lunch in the world.

While the Hessians were supported by the military instructors sent by the kingdom, they also exposed their own reality to the kingdom.

To put it bluntly, Hudson knows more about the military strength of the Kingdom of Hesse than Alexander V.

The ministers will deceive their own kings, and the military instructors sent out have no motive to deceive their own marshals.

As a bystander, even if the army of the Kingdom of Hesse is rotten, no one will hold them accountable.

Helping to reform the military system is just helping.If you love to learn, you will learn, and if you don't learn, you will fail, and it will not affect their salary of a copper coin.

Relying on the instructor system extending to the front line, the analysis of the strength of the rebel army was also collected in Hudson's hands.

Although this information may have lagged behind some time, the essence has never changed.

The evil god's feedback also has a limit.Being able to provide strength feedback to 100 people does not mean being able to provide strength feedback to 1000 or 1 people.

As the ranks of the rebel army continued to grow, the strength that was improved by the evil god's external force became more and more insignificant.

Either pursue quantity or pursue quality.The energy that the evil god can feed back is limited after all.

If the evil god could output unlimited power, there would be no need for so many cult organizations on the mainland to hide in a corner and tremble for countless years.
