The King

  Chapter 407 Reversed Alliance Council

  Seeing a group of soldiers shouting loud slogans and running around the city wall, the nobles from all walks of life were very disappointed.

  Originally they stayed to observe, because they wanted to steal Hudson's military training method through observation, but they saw a group of people running under the city wall.

  Of course, not all the troops run around the city wall. The Kingdom's standing army is as high as 270,000 people, and it is unrealistic for them all to gather together for training.

  There are only a few legions guarding the capital under the city, and the other troops are receiving military training in their respective stations.

   According to the actual situation of the garrison, some troops run circles around the barracks, and some troops go directly to the field for training.

   With the supply of supplies guaranteed, Hudson was relentless and strictly ordered the noble officers to take the troops for physical training.

   It’s okay to be lazy, as long as you don’t get caught, Marshal Hudson is patrolling the sky on a giant dragon.

  Once caught, they will be downgraded and dealt with at least, or thrown into the "warrior camp" to commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

   The competition within the nobles is also very fierce. The children of the nobles who are in the standing army are basically masters without fief inheritance, and they are still waiting to make contributions on the battlefield?

  Demotion treatment, not only reduces the official position, but also the success rate of their achievements.

  Generally speaking, the more senior the general, the more secure he is, and the easier it is to accumulate military merit. Many times, relying on the efforts of his subordinates, he can start with a lot of military merit.

  In contrast, the middle and lower ranks of officers are much harder. As the specific implementers of strategies and tactics, they often undertake the most dangerous tasks.

  In all previous wars, the casualty rate of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom remained high. The main reason was that the middle and lower class nobles often led their soldiers to fight.

  Throw it into the "Warrior Camp", let alone. Performing the hard task of narrowly dying, the credit for completing the task must first be used to make up for the mistakes made before.

   It can be said that from the moment you step into the warrior camp, you have already bid farewell to "success and fame". Some are just a hard-pressed atoner.

  Everyone suppressed the disappointment in their hearts. Deciding to follow Hudson to steal a lesson will certainly not lack patience.

   It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just record it first. Go back and copy it back intact, just copy it directly to see the effect.

   Knowing that someone was stealing, Hudson didn't interfere.

  There are so many officers and soldiers participating in the training, someone will always record it, and it is doomed not to keep it secret from the moment the training starts.

   Even if it is plagiarism intact, the effect cannot be replicated.

  The soldiers in front of me are all from the battlefield. Although most of them are from the logistics force, they have seen blood on the battlefield.

  It is not as good as the previous standing army. That is because the original standing army of the kingdom is stationed on the border all year round, and has frictions with the orcs every now and then, and occasionally goes deep into the orc empire to do things.

  Even in peaceful times, thousands of people are lost in combat every year. If one's own ability is not good, he would have been eliminated long ago.

  In the case of sufficient supplies, veterans undergo rigorous training and have a high probability of being transformed into elites.

  It is difficult for ordinary serf soldiers to achieve this effect without going to the battlefield to see blood.

   For half a month, there was nothing new about physical training and queue training. Occasionally, combat training was simply a few moves of hacking, slashing and stabbing, which stunned the big nobles who stole their masters.

  …

   "Torsten, our Marshal Hudson's training is the same every day. What's so interesting?"

  Hearing this familiar voice, he turned his head and glanced at the person coming, Duke Thorsten said angrily: "Hero, stop doing this!

   There is nothing interesting to say, the details of the training process are the most detailed records you have recorded.

   If I'm not mistaken, you have already sent someone back to try these training contents in the family's private army. "

  Social beatings are the best way to make people grow. The hard times in recent years have made these Northland Dukes who came to power ahead of schedule grow a lot.

   Even if you stand on the opposite side, those who should steal the teacher still have to steal the teacher, and the face is only worth a few dollars in the face of survival.

"hey-hey…"

   "Torsten said this, as if you didn't learn it.

  Marshal Hudson's training method is simple, but it is effective!

  伱Looking at the teams outside the city, they are obviously different from before. It seems that he has taken over this army for less than two months, right?

   What's more, the military training methods passed down by our families are actually not that complicated, and even the latter part of the content overlaps.

  The difference is that our serf soldiers usually train every five days and every ten days. Only a small number of elites can train every three days. Here, they train every day.

  However, Hudson is also ruthless enough to directly cut down the welfare benefits of noble officers to improve the food standards of these big soldiers.

  If it weren't for his nutrition to keep up with such crazy tossing, people would have been disabled by him long ago. "

   Duke Hero made complaints unabashedly.

  Everyone can see the problem. Even if I can't see it, the family think tanks behind me will help analyze it, but it doesn't mean that I can follow suit.

  Compared with the kingdom's standing army, it is actually more difficult for the noble private army to carry out system reforms.

  A standing army belongs to the kingdom, not to someone else. In order to win the war, it is acceptable for nobles to temporarily lose part of their interests.

  The family private army is different.

  Because they are all on their own, they can safely hand over their backs to their companions when fighting, and they can often exert stronger combat effectiveness.

   It also originated from our own people. If we want to carry out system reform, the resistance we face is also from top to bottom.

  If the head of the family is strong enough, the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers can barely be implemented, but if he wants to reduce the treatment of the noble officers, then there is no need to discuss it.

  Everyone is a hero of the family, so why should the salary be reduced? The head of the family has to be reasonable.

  Of course, as long as there is no corruption within the family and everyone is allowed to sacrifice temporarily at a critical moment, then it is not a big problem.

  However, like Hudson's reforms, these are temporary emergency measures, and once the danger is lifted, they will soon return to their original state.

   "Okay, you two, there is no need to discuss Marshal Hudson's military capabilities. If you have this spare time, why not think about how to deal with the next situation!"

   Duke Rodriguez said helplessly.

  It seems that they hold great power at a young age and are the envy of everyone outside, but in fact they have a hard time knowing it.

  The biggest shortcoming of taking the position early is the lack of prestige, and it is impossible to suppress the old guys in the clan.

  He is the head of the family in name, but unfortunately because of the wrong decision made by the previous head of the family, the family has suffered heavy losses.

  If it weren't for the kingdom's strict succession system, there might be a drama of side branches seizing the throne.

  The power of the Patriarch was affected, no matter whether it was internally or externally, none of them could become strong.

  Sometimes a decision is made, but it will be overturned in the clan, and there are more cases of obedience and violation.

  If the five Northland families were at their peak, they would have jumped out to compete for the position of coach. It is definitely not that simple for Hudson to want to be in the top position.

   Now let alone fight for the position of coach, they don't even have the confidence to fight for the position of deputy coach.

  Even if they were nominated, they could only reluctantly refuse. There is no other reason, it is that none of them believe that they can do well.

   "Rodriguez, do you think it will be our turn to control the next situation?

  It is doomed to follow the general trend, so why bother yourself!

  As long as the kingdom can survive this calamity smoothly, there is nothing wrong with us being the dogs of the house. "

   Duke Hero said indifferently.

   It's just his actual practice, which obviously doesn't match what he said. If he was really going to follow the crowd, he wouldn't be so active in stealing lessons.

   It is obvious that the conversation between the few people was deliberately told to someone who cares. If you really want to discuss matters, you can't choose this heavily guarded city gate.

  Since Caesar IV succeeded to the throne, they have intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to the king in order to get rid of their embarrassing political position.

   As of now, the plan is half successful. Under the operation of Caesar IV, their relationship with the royal family has eased slightly, but their political isolation has not been able to change.

   After all, they were still too impatient. They urgently needed to change their political status, and they couldn't hide it from the old foxes in the kingdom.

   I offended so many people before, and now I want to turn around in decline, how can everyone let them relax?

  Including the goodwill released by the royal family to them, it is all illusory. Caesar IV said that he would accept them, but no one knew what he thought in his heart.

   After all, their ancestors ruined the royal family and lost their ancestral property, and the older generation who have personally experienced it have not died yet!

  With these old antiques, the matter is not over.

   Coupled with Hudson's strong rise, they lost the right to speak in the army.

  In order to avoid being hit in the war, the few of them had to repeatedly express that they had no ambitions.

  …

  In Lutetia, the eighteenth council of the Terran Alliance kicked off.

   It has been less than two years since the last meeting closed, making it look like a permanent institution.

   There is no way. There are too many things that need to be coordinated by all parties in the outbreak of the continental war, and there must be a meeting to discuss it.

  The delay in the opening was mainly due to the fact that the last meeting had just ended, and it seemed very cheap to hold another meeting immediately.

  National countries do not want to start this "historical name". When encountering problems, representatives of all parties discuss and deal with them in private, until representatives of the five grassland countries jointly initiate a proposal.

  The problem was brought to the alliance meeting, which was obviously the result of the breakdown of the negotiation.

   What is surprising is that Charles III, who loves the limelight, is "at home sick" at the moment, and instead of coming to join in the fun, he let the prime minister, Duke Bergson, preside over the meeting as the representative of the host.

  …

   "Count Predrag, what is your country's opinion on the joint complaint of the Kingdom of Farland, the Kingdom of Ita, the Kingdom of Light, the Duchy of Gamma, and the Duchy of Delta?"

  Duke Bergson asked seriously.

  Welcoming everyone's gaze, Earl Predrag smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Members of Parliament, these accusations are pure nonsense!

  When did we cut off the air route and affect the war between the grassland countries and the orcs?

  As for threatening countries to withdraw their troops to our country and using them as cannon fodder, it is even more blatant slander!

  Such a shameless thing can only be done by a rogue country.

   I don’t know how some people’s brains are so long. We only reminded us of the strong wind and waves at sea once, but we made up so many pictures in our brains.

   I'm afraid it's an excuse deliberately fabricated by some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and want to be deserters in front of the battle.

  Anyone with a little common sense knows that if the countries on the grassland fall, there are only two evacuation routes for the people.

  The few boats on the sea are not enough for some selfish deserters, so where are the boat tickets for ordinary civilians?

  Our country’s willingness to accept refugees is due to the noble spirit of responsibility and compassion for the weak...

   These slanders appear mainly because we are unwilling to accept cowards who flee without fighting.

  These scum who enjoyed the glory of the nobles and were unwilling to take responsibility, fabricated these accusations in order to avenge the kingdom! "

  Politics, thick-skinned, eat enough.

   No matter how much the five grassland countries accuse, they are all things that haven’t happened yet. As long as the Alpha Kingdom bites dead and refuses to admit it, it is impossible to convict the crime.

  When the original proposal was issued, the Five Nations did not expect to do anything to the Alpha Kingdom. They just wanted to create pressure from public opinion and force the Alpha people to give up their plan to use them as cannon fodder.

  It's a pity that a storm of public opinion has been created, but the direction of the wind is not right. The Alpha Kingdom, which should have been blamed for being busy explaining, directly bit them back.

   "Deserter", a seemingly simple word, was a heinous crime during the Continental War.

  Once they fall, even if they evacuate from the grassland intact, there will be no place for them on the mainland.

  The relatives, friends, and family members of the past will be ashamed of them, and even the family behind them will be ashamed.

   "Count Predrag, you are completely slandering!"

   "It's all slander!"

   "We are busy fighting **** the front line, and you are watching the excitement in the rear, deliberately sitting and watching..."

  …

   Watching the representatives of the five countries continue to file complaints, the smile on Earl Predrag's face became brighter and brighter.

   The other party panicked so quickly, there is only one explanation: they are really planning to run away!

   Now that it has been dismantled, it will undoubtedly seriously affect the evacuation plan of the five countries. If the movement range is a little bigger, it will cause an uproar.

  The window paper was pierced, even if there was a chance to withdraw the main force, they dare not implement it now.

  If tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people were to be evacuated from the sea, the spittle stars within the human race alone would be able to drown them, let alone restore the country.

   "Whether there is any slander, everyone knows in their hearts that many congressmen present here are not blind.

  In recent days, there are so many of you returning home to visit your relatives!

  Now is a time of war, and all resources should be tilted towards war. Tens of thousands of people return home every month to visit their relatives. It seems that your war potential is quite large.

   Talking about using allies as cannon fodder, I think the representatives of the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega will have something to say.

  After all, the tens of thousands of troops that broke out from the two countries are now less than five hundred, and they are short of sending their king to the battlefield.

   We are also afraid of being tricked when we meet your low morals and allies who want to be deserters!

  Everyone can rest assured that the kingdom will take over when needed, who made us and the orcs enemies! "

  Forcibly defending, but it sounds like everyone still thinks it makes sense.

   It is an indisputable fact that the number of people visiting relatives in grassland countries has skyrocketed. According to the rules, transferring family members in advance is also crossing the line.

   It’s just that for this kind of thing, everyone usually turns a blind eye to it, and no one wants to do it right.

   All members of the House of Representatives present also know about the matter of defrauding teammates. When the incident happened, the two victims of the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega also approached everyone to uphold justice.

  It's a pity that the reasons for the Five Kingdoms of the Grassland are very good, all in order to resist the invasion of orcs. In addition, it was only forcibly expropriated at that time, and it had not been used as cannon fodder, and everyone could not be convicted in advance.

  After the incident happened, both the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega became a blank slate. Even the investors behind them chose to admit their losses, so naturally no one would stand up for them.

   It is determined that there is no way to recover, and the representatives of the two countries in the parliament are too lazy to do useless work and start their retirement career in advance.

  At this moment, Earl Predrag's words pushed them to the foreground again.

   "Your Excellency Earl is right, our two countries just mistrusted five shameless allies, and even lost the last seed of the principality.

  Even our king is under house arrest. And use this as a threat to prevent us from appealing to the Alliance Council!

   Due to His Majesty's safety, we can only choose to compromise.

  Today finally let us wait for the opportunity to speak, in front of many congress representatives, I don't believe you dare to kill the king! "

   "Dog thief, today we want to seek justice for the dead souls of the principality!"

  The accusations of the Earl of Carliss and the Earl of Houston instantly brought the atmosphere of the venue to a climax.

  "Cutting off the route", "Sit back and watch the allies lose in battle", "Desert soldiers", "Use allies as cannon fodder", each topic is already sensitive enough, and now a "house arrest monarchy case" has been involved.

  If any accident happened to Borent I and Baird I, there would be a regicide case immediately.

  The incident became more and more troublesome, and the congressmen who had been watching the excitement gradually couldn't sit still.

  The previous issues are easy to talk about. After the sexual war is settled, the responsibility of the country concerned can be slowly investigated, but the regicide case must not happen under their noses.

  Even if it is only a possibility, it is not allowed.

  The atmosphere in the silent venue was terribly oppressive. The representatives of the five grassland countries who were forced to the corner hurriedly came out to explain.

  It's a pity that they were interrupted by Duke Bergson as soon as they spoke.

   "I don't care what kind of grievances there are among the seven grassland countries, such things as house arrest of the monarchs of other countries are not allowed.

   Trying to kill the king in vain is a heinous crime!

  I propose that the alliance send a fleet to bring back Borent I and Baird I. During this period, you must ensure the safety of the two majesties.

  The rest of the issues, after the two Majesties arrive in Lutetia, we will hold a meeting to discuss. "

  It seems that Duke Bergson is suppressing the five steppe countries, but he is actually saving the field.

   If the discussion continues, not to mention forcing the Alpha Kingdom to give up its plan, maybe the Five Grassland Kingdoms will become suspects of regicide first.

  The Five Prairie Kingdoms are still politically immature after all, and it would be a big failure to bring something that hasn't happened to the Alliance Parliament.

   However, his own **** is not clean, and he left people with a handle on the issue of the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega. How could the Alpha Kingdom give up this opportunity?

  The alliance meeting had just begun, and the five grassland countries were directly defeated.

   To put it bluntly, none of the crimes they sued Alpha Kingdom had had time to happen. On the contrary, they themselves were charged with the same crime.

  If it weren’t for Duke Bergson’s timely rescue, it is estimated that within a few days, the Alliance Council will be able to receive the news of the assassination of Borent I and Baird I.

   At that time, the five grassland countries will become coal, and even jumping into the sea will not be able to clear up the suspicion.

   With the addition of multiple crimes, any actions taken by the Alpha Kingdom against them will become legal.

   Even now, their identities have changed from plaintiffs to defendants.

  At this moment, their problem is not how to accuse the Alpha Kingdom of crimes, but how to make the Alpha Kingdom let go.
