Chapter 143: King's order

  Chapter 143 King's Secret Order

  The chaotic situation on the mainland is overwhelming. The various forces in a mess seemed to have made an appointment, and they jumped out together to make troubles.

  The Alpha Kingdom can be peaceful because of the big boss of the Orc Empire, who is about to kill him.

   For the major forces of the human race, goalkeepers are still necessary.

  Even if it is the Holy See who wants to make trouble, it just wants to stir up disputes and benefit from it.

   No one is foolish enough to really want the Alpha Kingdom to end immediately.

   Without this powerful goalkeeper, the orcs would drive straight in and kill them, which would threaten the dominance of the Terran Continent.

  For alien races, human race is not a good thing, but being unable to stand up to orcs is even more abhorrent.

  The many races in the Orc Empire did not come together naturally, but the result of the five rogue races forming an alliance and conquering them everywhere.

  Human beings were able to seize the overlordship of the continent, to a large extent, thanks to the killing of the orcs back then, which severely injured the vitality of all the alien races.

Two dogs fight, play off.

  The human race is the one who picks up the cheap ones. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the boss of the orcs, they unite with other races to give them a hard time.

   Changed the human race to be the masters, and the essence has not changed. The only difference is that human beings have stronger political methods and have learned to cover up and frame.

   It seems that they are not as cruel as the orcs. Most of the time they like to attack secretly, and they like to whitewash the peace on the bright side.

   No matter how you can hide it, there will be a day when you can't help it. Even if you didn't realize it at the time when you suffered a loss, you will slowly recollect it later.

   There was no accident, and soon it was the turn of the human race to become the public enemy of the mainland.

  It is all for the better survival of the race, not to mention justice and evil. Whichever side the **** sits on is the side of justice.

  As a member of the human race, Hudson naturally would not complain about the alien race. There is destined to be only one overlord of the mainland, and there will be no power without contention.

   Putting down the information in his hand, Hudson took a breath, and he admitted that he had increased his knowledge again.

  Leaving aside the situation of the countries on the mainland, anyway, it has nothing to do with him for a while, the key is that the orc empire has begun to prepare for war.

   Just these things would trouble him at most, but definitely wouldn't surprise him.

   South invasion is as simple as eating and sleeping for orcs.

  Almost all the higher races of orcs will participate in the southern invasion. It would not be complete without the animal life that invaded the south.

  The problem is that this military expansion and preparation for war was first initiated from the Bimon Royal Court. The old Beamon Emperor unexpectedly did not object this time.

   On the surface, it was a compromise to the main combat faction in order to push Prince Alex to the throne, but Hudson knew that this explanation was pure nonsense.

  A crown prince who eats, drinks and has fun, if you want him to succeed to the throne safely, the best way is to do nothing instead of running to start a war.

  Bimeng Emperor is not young, and has already exceeded the normal limit of Bimeng.

  If during the war, Emperor Beamon suddenly lost his foot, how could Crown Prince Alex rely on to stabilize the situation?

  If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

   I don’t know what Emperor Beamon wants to play this time, but the pace of war is approaching. If a coquettish old man who is near the end of his lifespan goes crazy, no one knows what will happen.

  Faced with this weird situation, it is inevitable for the kingdom to actively respond. Every time the orcs invade in an all-round way, it is a test for the Alpha Kingdom, and if you are not careful, the country will be destroyed.

  …

   "You have all read the information. There must be something wrong behind Bimon's sudden change.

   I don’t know exactly what it is, but once the orc invasion breaks out this time, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.

  Although there are two more allies to share the pressure, once the orcs become the main direction of attack, the pressure to bear is still not small.

  The southeastern province is the kingdom's rear area. Once a war breaks out, we will not only provide money and food, but also send troops to join the war.

  Now everyone must do a good job of preparations. In case of a sudden war, the task of sending troops to our southeastern province should be between 150,000 and 250,000.

  Although these troops were not sent out all at once, the number of the first batch of expeditionary troops would not be less than 80,000 at least.

   If the front line is tense during the war, it is normal for the amount of conscription to double.

  In the last full-scale war, after the front line was defeated, the kingdom was at its most critical moment, but it was forced to draw one out of three.

   Sending the serf who has just put down his **** to the battlefield is simply sending the enemy's head. It is completely taking human life and delaying the attack speed of the orcs.

  The same mistake, we must not make it a second time!

  Inviting everyone here today is to hope that you will expand your armaments as much as possible and train as many elite troops as possible before the outbreak of the war.

   Not only the standing army, even ordinary serfs now have to participate in military training. Prepare for the worst.

  His Majesty's secret order, from now on the kingdom will enter the state of all the soldiers, and welcome this orc invasion with the strongest posture.

  After you go back, not only must you prepare for war with all your strength, but you must also urge the lords below to expand their armies and prepare for war.

  The secret order cannot be leaked, I don’t care how it is implemented, anyway, once the war breaks out, you have to provide me with an army capable of fighting tough battles.

  This is a race war, and there is no possibility of any conditions. The continent of Aslant follows the law of the jungle, and losers are not qualified to live on this continent! "

  Earl Pierce's words made everyone tremble. Everyone's expressions became serious.

   All the people are soldiers?

   What a crazy idea.

   It seems that it is just a secret order of Caesar III, but it can actually be taken here, which means that the major forces in the kingdom have discussed it in advance.

   It is not clear what exactly happened, but Hudson knew that something was going wrong. Obviously, these big forces are aware of the danger, so they made such a big commotion.

   Regardless of whether this plan can be realized in the end. Just making this political gesture is very scary.

  This means that if there is a big defeat on the front line, the Alpha Kingdom will really enter the state of all the people. No matter whether they can complete the training or not, the young and strong will be armed and sent to the battlefield.

   After hesitating for a while, Hudson finally didn't speak. Racial wars have always been the cruelest, either you die or you die.

  Now the situation on the mainland is turbulent. If after the outbreak of the Great War, all the countries of the human race are caught up in various messy things, the situation may really deteriorate to that point.

  Preparing for the worst in advance, and pulling all the serfs out for training, is better than being unprepared when the enemy hits the door.

   "Your Excellency, the king's secret order, we will naturally implement it. But the problem is that it takes a lot of money to bring the whole people into the scope of training.

  Our families can basically afford this expense, and we can get through it by gritting our teeth.

  The question is what about the little nobles below?

  Last year, we just suffered from the locust plague, and everyone's grain reserves have dropped a lot. Some small nobles who are not wealthy may find it difficult to bear this burden. "

   Viscount Oran said worriedly.

  As the front line of the entry of the locust army, the loss of Arbor County directly ranked the highest in the province.

   Not only was the food in the fields gone, but even many wooden houses were eaten by locusts.

  The granaries of some unlucky nobles were broken into by the army of locusts, and they were directly ransacked.

   As a good boss, he naturally has to give consideration to the younger brothers. It would be very hurtful to ignore the actual situation and follow orders mechanically.

   It's just that Hudson found himself connoted, and he was the poorest present. "Basically able to afford it", in other words: the Koslow family can't afford it.

  But there are pros and cons to everything, so many people have to train, weapons and equipment are always indispensable, right?

  The aristocrats are all good people. Seeing that the big aristocrats have begun to expand their armies and prepare for war, and they have been organized for large-scale military training, and they still don’t feel the danger, then don’t mess around.

  In times of crisis, it is natural to strengthen the strength. No matter how low-quality iron weapons are, they are more lethal than holding a wooden stick.

   Once the business gets better, it will naturally be a lot of money. At that time, he, Master Hudson, will also not be short of money.

   "Your Excellency, Viscount Oran is right. The impact of the locust plague last year has not yet completely passed. It is still uncertain how the summer crop will be harvested this season.

  Especially in some hard-hit counties, food is the first big problem to be solved if serfs are to be included in the training.

   I want to come to His Majesty's order, and it's not just for the southeastern province. When all the provinces in the kingdom will be trained, the increased food consumption will definitely not be a small number.

   Domestic food prices are likely to be pushed up. Aristocrats who are not wealthy may find it difficult to afford this expense.

  In order to better fulfill His Majesty's order, I suggest that the Governor's Office purchase a batch of grain from overseas to stabilize the price of grain in the province. "

   Hudson followed up with the proposal.

   While speaking, he glanced at Viscount Kayo, signaling to follow quickly.

   Among the 15 counties in the southeastern province, Wright and Wyton counties are the most economically difficult. Even Arbor County, which was hit hardest by the disaster, is much better off.

  Food prices skyrocketed, and it was true that the northern nobles suffered the most, but the local nobles also felt bad.

  Taking Hudson himself as an example, he purchases a large amount of food every year. If you don't want to pay a high price, you have to owe favors.

  The boss can't bear it, and the life of the younger brothers is even more difficult. Now that this kind of thing is encountered again, I have to fight for one or two for the younger brothers.

   In fact, Hudson has long wanted to purchase food from overseas. Persevering, not only has no port, but also no fleet.

   Most of the overseas trade in the southeastern province is in the hands of the Dalton family, and several other middle-class nobles have followed suit to get a share of the pie, but there is no Koslow family who has just returned to the ranks of middle-class nobles.

  If you can't finish it by yourself, you can only pin your hopes on the Governor's Palace. Only when the price of grain in the province stabilizes, the mountainous areas will have the opportunity to purchase and stockpile in large quantities.

  Maybe aware of his hint, Viscount Cayo frowned, hesitated for a while, and said bravely: "Your Excellency, Viscount Hudson's proposal is good.

  Food security is critical. Although my southeast province is not short of food, there are too few nobles who are willing to sell food.

  In order to stabilize food prices, I propose that the Governor’s Mansion provide a limited amount of affordable food in units of counties, and then everyone present will take it back and distribute it. "

   Frankly speaking, Cayo didn't want to make this suggestion. If the matter is not put on the table and the Dalton family controls the grain trade, the benefits he can gain will only be greater.

   But there is no way, based on his understanding of his uncle, in front of everyone, it is impossible for Earl Pierce to refuse such a proposal that is conducive to the fulfillment of the king's secret order.

  "Political correctness", this is the rule that big shots must follow. Especially at this moment when unity is needed, we should not do anything that would harm unity.

  Since this is the case, Viscount Cayo naturally wants to show himself. Wighton County is not completely controlled by him, and this batch of cheap food is undoubtedly a sharp weapon to win people's hearts.

  It is proposed to distribute the supply of cheap food to everyone present, and by the way, it can be sold to everyone.

  Looking at the position ranking, you can know the status.

  Even if he is the governor's nephew, he can only add to the end. Hudson, who is also a rookie, was placed in the fifth-to-last position.

   This is definitely not the error of the reception official, but the final ranking based on the comprehensive strength of everyone.

  Since it is a manifestation of strength, the order of positions can also reflect the level of speaking power.

  As the most vulnerable existence, if you want to gain a foothold in it, you can’t go wrong by selling everyone first.

  Maybe there is also the meaning of showing Earl Pierce. Tell my uncle with practical actions that Kayo's political wisdom is not low, and he has the value of focusing on training.

   After glancing at everyone, Earl Pierce said with a blank expression: "Well, I will arrange for someone to implement this matter.

  However, the overseas food prices are still unclear. After adding the shipping fee, the price of the food shipped back may not be lower than the current market price, so you have to be prepared in advance.

  If you are short of food, there is still a batch of fish at the port. The price is relatively cheap, you can send people to purchase. "

  Fish, except for special species, most of the wild fish are difficult to be refined in the southeastern provinces.

  The market for marine fish is even smaller.

  Aristocrats who can afford it are not interested in this stuff. Serfs and commoners who are willing to eat these fish have no money in their pockets.

   Except during the war period, when you need to store dried fish and use it as military rations, most of the time fish products are not popular.

  The main reason is that fresh fish is inconvenient to transport, and it is easy to pickle and store dried fish. The problem is that the price of salt is too expensive, which directly leads to the fact that all pickled products are not cheap.

  For the Dalton family, which monopolizes the salt trade, these are naturally not a problem. However, the dried fish produced is still not easy to sell in the market except for their own consumption.

  Earl Pierce proposed now, naturally not to sell dried fish. Such a small amount of money is not worth thinking about by the princes on his side.

  The real purpose is to warn everyone to keep quiet. In case of a food crisis, he, the boss, will lend a helping hand.

  Even if you can’t buy food overseas, the Dalton family is capable of helping to solve everyone’s food shortage.

  "Fish goods" may also be "surplus goods".

   "Relatively cheap" clearly means that if you are safe, you can buy cheap goods; if you are restless, you can't buy supplies even if you have money.

  The almost naked hint, if you can't hear the implication, Hudson is too embarrassed to sit here.

   I can’t take care of so much. At this juncture, being able to buy enough food is the most important thing.

  As for the price issue, he was already prepared to be slaughtered. As long as the price does not soar to the sky, Hudson is ready to accept it.
