The King

  Chapter 146 Hudson Orders Troops... Train Officers First

  The Alpha Kingdom is not the only one that has entered the battle preparation mode. After receiving the news of the changes in the Orc Empire, the Kingdom of Warhammer and the Principality of Moxi also raised their combat readiness levels.

  For orcs, the Three Kingdoms are all human nations, and robbing anyone is robbing. Once there is a fight in the north, none of the three families will be left behind.

  Even if there was no grievance in the first place, after being patronized by orcs one after another, the hatred accumulated over time made them regard the orcs as their mortal enemies.

  The only difference is that the Kingdom of Warhammer and the Principality of Moxi have only experienced small-scale invasions, and have not yet experienced the horror of a full-scale orc invasion.

  In the past all-out wars, the Alpha Kingdom was at the forefront, and when the war spread to their doorstep, it was all in the middle and late stages.

  In the middle and late stages, the countries of the human race have almost reacted. The reinforcements from all corners of the country came together, and the fight could not be said to be smooth, at least it was not a one-sided beating.

  If you don’t have coping experience, you can only learn from your neighbors. Seeing the Alpha Kingdom mobilize the whole country, the two countries were also very frightened.

   "Are the orcs really going to launch a full-scale invasion?"

  Chris IX asked with a gloomy face.

   Both are "gatekeepers", so there are strengths and weaknesses. If we say that among the Three Kingdoms, the Alpha Kingdom, which has been fighting against the orcs for a long time, is the strongest, then the Principality of Moxi, which is in the narrow gap, is at the bottom.

  Even though the Principality of Moxi once had the reputation of "the first principality in the mainland" and its military strength is stronger than some weaker kingdoms, it is a pity that it is still not enough in front of the orc empire.

  The usual small-scale harassment made them tired of coping. Now that he was suddenly told that the Orc Empire was going to invade in an all-round way, it was hard for Chris IX to accept it without slowing down.

   "Your Majesty, the orcs are about to launch a full-scale invasion, this is news from the Alpha Kingdom.

  They have fought with orcs for hundreds of years, and they have a deep understanding of the orc empire. This judgment should not be wrong.

   Besides, judging from the information we have received from the Orc Empire, the five imperial courts of the Orcs are all preparing for war.

   Even if it is not a total war, this war is far from comparable to the past. It is always right to prepare for the worst in advance so as not to be caught off guard when you get hit. "

  Prime Minister Herceg replied with a serious face.

  The orcs invaded in an all-round way. Although the three unlucky guys were beaten together, the most dangerous one was the Principality of Moxi.

  As the weakest existence among the three kingdoms, it is very likely to become a breakthrough for the orc army to invade the south.

  Although there are dense fortresses on the border, Herceg still has no idea whether the Principality of Moxi can block the attack of the orcs.

  Both are "bad brothers", the Alpha Kingdom and the Warhammer Kingdom must be hopeless. According to the experience of previous conflicts, the orcs' main attack in one direction will not pull down the other two sides.

   It just so happened that the military strength of the Orc Empire was higher than that of the Three Kingdoms, so even if the three were caught and beaten together, there would not be much pressure.

   "Let's prepare for the battle with all our strength! The Alpha Kingdom doesn't even let go of the pitiful fighting power of the serfs, and we must keep up."

  Chris IX said with gritted teeth.

   It won’t work if you don’t follow up with all your strength. As the weakest existence among the three kingdoms, the Principality of Moxi is likely to suffer the worst beating.

   In case of failure to block the front of the orc army, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed in an instant. Even if Chris IX can personally go into exile abroad, it is very difficult for the destroyed country to get it back.

   There is no way, the orc army is too ruthless. Although the land we passed was not to the point where not a single blade of grass grew, it was inevitable that ten rooms would be empty.

  The nationals are gone, and the restoration of the country is naturally a joke. When it comes to competition for the survival space of races, it is purely extravagant to expect the opponent to be soft.

  …

  In the Emerald Palace, the chariot of war started to turn, but Caesar III was idle.

  Everything is in the service of the war, and the trivial things disappear from his sight. The nobles who are full of conflicts are no longer tossing at this moment.

   Even if it is a life-and-death enmity, the hatred must be suppressed now. Everyone has only one purpose to concentrate their strength - to survive this catastrophe of life and death.

  As for the issue of hatred, it depends on whether the opponent can survive the ensuing war.

  According to past experience, the probability of the opponent dying on the battlefield is much higher than the success rate of killing the opponent by themselves.

  Things suddenly became less. While relaxing, Caesar III was still a little unaccustomed to it. Of course, it's more that I don't know what to do.

  He clamored fiercely, wanting to avenge the orcs and regain lost ground. In fact, he panicked a lot in his heart.

  If it wasn't for the changes in the orc empire first, he was sure that this war was inevitable, so he didn't want to go to war with the orcs at this time.

   "Your Majesty, there are signs of locust plagues in the Orc Empire and the Quecinian Peninsula at the same time. It is only a matter of time before a large-scale outbreak occurs. Our first step plan has succeeded."

  The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said in a deep voice.

   Reason told him that this was playing with fire. Simultaneously, the black hand is being used against the two major forces, and the blood is licked properly. A little carelessness will be a big accident.

   But what is even more cruel is that no matter whether the Alpha Kingdom takes action or not, the fact that they are hostile to each other cannot be avoided.

   "Relax, my prime minister. Things are not that bad, the Holy See has just offended the Frankish Kingdom to death.

  No one will act as a peacemaker for them this time. The troubles that the First Kingdom on the mainland can cause them are not so easy to solve.

  As for the Orc Empire, they are all preparing to invade, so why hesitate?

  As long as their war potential can be weakened, it is worthwhile to go to war now. "

  Caesar III said pretending to be calm.

  I was flustered in my heart, but I had to show enough calmness to appease the hearts of my subordinates.

   If nothing else, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland also said similar words to his subordinates.

  Everyone knows it's just soothing words, but they still want to hear it. When people have no bottom in their hearts, they need approval the most.

  Even if this kind of recognition has no substantive meaning, it can still obtain spiritual comfort.

   Caesar III, who is good at playing politics, will naturally not disappoint his subordinates in this regard. If the boss has no confidence, wouldn't the subordinates be even more panicked.

  This kind of large-scale war involving the survival of the race not only needs to be taken seriously by the Alpha Kingdom, but also by the Orc Empire.

   Just fighting with the three border countries of the human race is really nothing to the orcs, but the human race has dozens of countries.

how to spell?

   When to fight?

   To what extent?

   These are all knowledge, in case of careless operation, the whole human race will be offended.

  If the ruthless overlord of the mainland can destroy an orc empire at all costs, he can still do it.

  So every time the orcs invaded, they mainly robbed. When it comes to seizing territory, they are quite restrained.

   Of course, this restraint is passive. In the later stages of previous wars, almost all of them ended with the allied forces of the human race regaining the lost territory. The war will not end without relinquishing the captured lands.

  The last great war was an exception, and this exception was based on the background of the human race fighting on all sides. The orc empire, which took advantage of it, also paid a heavy price, that is, it threw off its allies and made an early truce with the human race.

   Similar betrayals and alliances are very common among races. If all the alien races were united, the human race's position as the overlord of the mainland would have been pulled down long ago.

  The upcoming southward invasion seems to be an accidental event, but in fact, it is unknown how many political games have been experienced behind it.

   Only after weighing the pros and cons many times and feeling that war is more beneficial to him, did the orc court make the decision to launch a war.

   "Your Majesty, the missions sent by the Principality of Moxie and the Kingdom of Warhammer have already set off and are expected to arrive at the capital in half a month.

   They came here this time, mostly to discuss joint operations. This matter involves a lot, and you need to come up with the charter yourself. "

   Earl Francis reminded.

  As the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Alpha Kingdom, most of the time he has nothing to do, except during the war.

  Compared with the previous Minister of Foreign Affairs, Earl Francis's task is even heavier. This time, there are two more allies who need to coordinate.

  The lips are cold and the teeth are dead. Now the three countries are all "brothers" in the trenches. If anyone falls, the other two countries will become more dangerous.

   As far as we can, we still need to take care of each other when we are on the battlefield.

   Otherwise, if the orc army breaks through any country, they can turn around and launch an attack to the rear, thus avoiding the densely packed fortresses on the front line.

   "Let the Ministry of Military Affairs coordinate with them, and cooperate with them if they can, but everything must be based on the safety of the kingdom.

   In addition, let the frontier provinces be more vigilant, and use the noble castle as a hub to secretly build a line of defense. In the event of an accident, we must buy enough time for the kingdom.

  Prime Minister, you are responsible for leading the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Government Affairs, and the Noble Council to jointly form an inspection team to supervise the combat readiness of each province.

  Tell them, which province has the slowest combat readiness and the worst army training, let the army of that province take the lead! "

   Caesar III said viciously.

  The autonomy of the fiefdom nobles is indeed high, but it does not mean that the king has nothing to do with them. Especially in this war period, wearing small shoes is even easier.

   They were all forced out, and the war was about to break out. If you don't work hard now, even if you want to work hard later, you will have no chance.

  Although there are two more unlucky guys to share the pressure, it also increases uncontrollable factors. In case the two allies can't stand it, the Alpha Kingdom's originally shortened battle line will be lengthened again.

   Fortunately, the nobles are responsible for guarding the land these days, and they are not afraid that the fief lords in the frontier provinces will not work hard, otherwise it will be difficult to improvise a line of defense.

  …

  Wright County, since Hudson took over the military training of a group of "allies", the scene has become grand in an instant.

  Under the premise of not including the noble territories of the Northland, there are 50,000 young men in Wright County. Just hearing this number really shocked Hudson.

   Soon he calmed down, it was all the good work of the former Fifth Army colleagues. Not only did they bring over the young men from the Wright County territory, but they also brought over the young men from their original hometown.

  The power of the halo is that powerful. Although Hudson's reputation was made by them together, everyone recognized Hudson's luck and training ability from the bottom of their hearts.

  Anyway, you have to bring your own dry food training team, so naturally you need to find a capable person to help with training. The more elite the soldiers are trained, the higher the survival rate of everyone on the battlefield.

  "50,000 young and strong" is only defined in terms of age. Naturally, it is impossible for all of them to be suitable for military service, and it is necessary to screen them once.

  Although the whole country is prepared to serve as soldiers, it is impossible for the kingdom to send all the young and strong to the battlefield. Most of them are playing the role of emergency reserve.

  According to Hudson's estimate, the Kingdom's call-up order will draw at most 7,000 to 10,000 people from here, and there is a high probability that they will not be sent to the front line at once.

  In addition to these people, the various branches of the Koslow family in the province also brought young and strong people to refer to the training. Some family friends and relatives who were preparing to form a team also brought people over to join in the fun.

   There are more people who want to rely on relationships and come to military training.

   Facing an increasingly large team, Hudson was so frightened that he stopped immediately.

   It is really limited in ability, even if you send a regiment of your own to be an instructor, there are not enough manpower. If there is more, then there is really no way.

  For the kind of great master who recruits hundreds of thousands of recruits at one time and directly trains them into an army, Hudson only has Mobike.

  Even if he has a foundation, throwing hundreds of thousands of young men in front of him now, he still has a look of bewilderment.

   Fortunately, most of the serf soldiers only need to think about it and have a certain foundation. He only needs to select 10,000 to 20,000 people for key training as an army for future expeditions.

  Fortunately, the area of ​​non-cultivated land in the mountainous area is also large enough. A military camp can be placed on each mountain, and people can be dispersed without feeling crowded.

   As for building roads and leveling the land, it's not that Master Hudson wants to take advantage of it, it's entirely for training.

   Except for the mountainous territory, who would be willing to use such a large piece of land as a training ground for young adults?

  Without roads, grain cannot be transported in. The field is uneven, so it is inconvenient to train!

  As for the weapons in the hands of the young and strong, they were not promoted by Hudson, but everyone followed the example after seeing the serfs in the mountain collar holding one.

  Different from selling only low-quality weapons in the past, this wave of Hudson has mixed and matched many high-quality weapons according to the ratio of five to one.

  The only disadvantage is that they are still out of stock. Only the most valued "future elites" get iron weapons, and the rest can only use wooden sticks to fill up.

  Large-scale military purchases are also a heavy burden for small nobles.

  If it wasn't for Hudson's generous expression: his own people can pay on credit, or they can charge the account in kind. It is estimated that most of the nobles will passively give up because of their lack of money.

  …

   "Stand still!"

   "Stand firm for me. Now that you're here, be prepared to suffer.

   Don't worry about embarrassment, we all have the same training, no one will laugh at you.

  You are all aristocrats, so you have to show the appearance of aristocrats. If you can't even compare to serfs, wouldn't you be afraid of shame if you spread the word?

  From now on, in the next month, everyone must cheer up and follow the study seriously.

   One month later, we will go back to train the serfs. They are also being trained. If they can't even compare with serfs, they can just wipe their necks.

   It’s still too late to quit now, once the training starts, it’s too late to regret it.

   Let me get to know you first, the one on my shoulder is Mr. Bear Stearns, the great earth bear. Next, your training will be supervised by him.

  This Mr. Bear Stearns has a bad temper, so you'd better not make him angry. Although there are priests in the barracks, I can't guarantee whether the treatment will be..."

   Hudson said seriously.

  Train soldiers first and train officers first.

  If you want to take everyone to the battlefield, you can't do it without some real skills. If his subordinates are full of useless materials, it is easy to kill him, the boss.

   There is no need to worry about being stolen by others. These basic training methods can at best train low-level officers.

  The nobles can learn it in a short period of time, because they have cultural background and have mastered more knowledge than ordinary people.

   Hudson has personally experienced the training of a poor and white serf officer. It took a full two years to barely meet his requirements.

   In order to take care of everyone's face, Hudson also specially set up a noble training camp, and all the participants are noble children.

  The elderly nobleman couldn't bear to accept training, so he pushed his sons out.

   "Exit" is just a joke.

   Opportunities to learn military knowledge are rare. If anyone dares to quit halfway, Hudson doesn't need to do anything, and the old father will hand them over to them after death.

   As for the oversight of Bear Stearns, that was just plain scary. Even if the cubs are willing to come out to work for free, Hudson is afraid of problems.

   Uncle Xiong, who is neither serious nor serious, even Hudson himself is afraid once he starts to fight.

   In case Uncle Xiong slaps down and accidentally kills a few, Hudson has no way to explain it.

  It’s just Uncle Xiong’s hoarse grinning, eager expression, it’s really a bit...
