Canglan City, Emerald Palace.

The ongoing war has put a heavy strain on the Alpha Kingdom. Although the war in the country has been extinguished, military spending is still high.

The host is not easy to be, and the reinforcements must be provided by the host. The little aid given by the Terran Alliance is less than half of the real cost.

Millions of troops have been busy on the front line for more than half a year, and they have done one thing to build the defense line one by one, and the criticism in the country has gradually increased.

It's not that everyone is deliberately finding fault, but it's that the expenses on the front line are too huge, which puts a heavy pressure on the kingdom's finances.

Even the large amount of money that had been raised through the issuance of war bonds was now almost consumed by the war.

"What did Earl Hudson say?"

Caesar III asked with concern.

It has become the consensus of the whole kingdom to end this war as soon as possible. But when it comes to the specific operation, you have to watch the performance of the front-line coach.

"Your Majesty, Earl Hudson thinks that the reinforcements gathered at the front line can already launch an attack on the Orc Empire."

It's just that communication at the front line is not smooth, and there are many contradictions between the major forces, which has brought great trouble to the coordination work.

In particular, the coalition forces lack a unified command structure, and the major forces maintain a high degree of independence, making it difficult to convince all the forces at the same time.

He suggested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strengthen communication with the Terran Alliance Council and form a coalition command to promote the course of the war!

As soon as the words of the Minister of War, the Grand Duke Efiero, fell, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion among everyone.

Difficulties in communication and inconvenient command were the stubborn problems of the coalition forces. Problems that have not been solved in previous wars should not be easily solved now.

Caesar III was also in a difficult situation, and now the Marquis James, who is in charge of the communication work at the front, is a cronie he has picked up.

I have always been conscientious at work, but many times it is not hard work that can be rewarded. If the major forces don't buy it, there is nothing he can do.

Similar to the bitter letters, Caesar III has received many copies in the past six months.

When the boss doesn't like the younger brother, he complains when he encounters difficulties, but there is an exception, that is, when he encounters difficulties that cannot be solved.

complaining, at least it proves that it is still working hard. If you don't even cry out for bitterness, it's pure rottenness.

The emperors of the kingdom have not been able to solve the historical problems, and it is obviously difficult for the generals on the front line to solve the problems.

The lack of unity of command among the coalition forces is essentially a political issue. Politically, the parties cannot toss and agree, and militarily it is even more difficult to be consistent.

"Don't look at me like that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has broken its leg in order to coordinate relations with all parties."

In order to get reinforcements from all sides as soon as possible, we have used all means. Now when it comes to military command, it is really beyond the competence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Even if all parties are willing to put aside their prejudices, the final commander-in-chief of the coalition forces will not be our turn. With an uncontrollable commander to dominate this war, the situation may not be better than it is now!"

Count Francis retorted mercilessly.

Diplomacy is not omnipotent, but essentially a game of interests. The coalition forces do not have a unified command system, and the core reason is that they cannot discuss their interests.

For most Terran countries, the threat of the Orc Empire is too illusory.

is willing to help, that is, for the sake of the righteousness of the human race, there is no way to command the army!

"Your Majesty, what Count Francis said is not unreasonable. Even we ourselves are not willing to hand over the command of the army to someone else, let alone another force? ”

"It is better to follow the old rules, and all engagement plans will be implemented after discussion and approval by all parties. If there is a dispute, it will be reported to the Terran Alliance Council for a ruling!"

The Archduke of Newfoundland said with a look of embarrassment.

A typical bad idea, but the only solution to the problem right now. Without convincing all parties first, how can we get everyone to work the battlefield?

"If there's no better option, so be it! Earl Hudson, take care of your work. ”

"Young people are easy to be rash, and at this critical juncture, you can't make a mess!"

Caesar III said with little interest.

Uncontrollable situations are always what kings hate the most. Now that he has come to this point again, he really can't be happy.

Blood Moon Castle, the fortress of the Terran Guardian that fell to the hands of the orcs eighty years ago, has reappeared on the land of the Northern Frontier.

The overall shape and layout are almost the same as the original ancient castle, but the position between the old and new castles is four or five hundred miles apart.

Hudson played the role of overseer as usual, patrolling the site from time to time to prove to the outside world that he was not an idle manager.

"Your Excellency, there is an urgent message from the king's capital!"

Hudson frowned at the sound of the guards panting. In recent times, the front line has been calm.

If it weren't for the orcs to settle down, he wouldn't have had time to go to the construction site. On the surface, he was inspecting the speed of construction of the defense line, but in fact, he was playing all the way.

When it comes to attaching importance to the quality of the project, the deputy coach Duke Khavadia is much more concerned than him, the manager, and he almost eats and lives on the project every day.

Not only the Duke of Khavadia, but all the nobles of Northern Xinjiang showed twelve points of enthusiasm.

If it is not qualified, it will be ordered to be reworked immediately, without the slightest hesitation. The progress can't catch up, even if you let the guards in your hands help, you are not willing to sacrifice the quality of the project.

With this seriousness of loyalty to the king, Hudson changed his previous prejudices against them.

There may be various problems among the nobles of Northern Xinjiang, but they are definitely not Liaodong generals who are bent on making money.

After taking the urgent letter and scanning it, Hudson was slightly stunned. Secretly guessed: My own plan to dump the pot, this is seen through?

Up to now, the second batch of reinforcements from the Terran Alliance has arrived 500,000 people one after another. With the previous 300,000, it is now as high as 800,000.

Together with the 200,000 troops of the Duchy of Moxi, the 30,000 troops of the Warhammer Kingdom, and the 700,000 troops of the Alpha Kingdom on the front line.

The front line of the Blood Moon Castle has gathered more than 1.7 million troops, even if the 600,000 water in the three northern armies is deducted, there are 1.1 million elites, which is enough to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Orc Empire.

The biggest problem with the delay in taking action is that relations within the alliance have not been harmonized. To put it simply: the major forces are worried that they will suffer losses and others will take advantage.

They all want to wait for all the reinforcements of the alliance to arrive, and then go out to the orc empire together. Otherwise, it would have been too much of a loss for the troops who came first, and the reinforcements that came later would have picked up the ready-made.

Having insight into the nature of the problem, Hudson did not rush to solve it, but threw the trouble to the royal capital.

It's still the fault of age, a twenty-something army commander is very eye-catching in itself, and if he performs too well, it will be too hateful.

Militarily, Hudson did not dare to collapse, so he could only be sluggish in handling complex diplomatic relations.

After all the communication work was lost to Marquis James, Hudson no longer bothered and let him toss the whole process.

Facts have proved that Caesar III still had some vision for employing people. Thanks to the efforts of the Marquis of James, there were no great results, and there was no chaos.

It may seem inconspicuous, but it's already very powerful. As a military general, he can coordinate the relationship between hundreds of forces and be a proper courtesan in the army.

Everything is too much. If it was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ability of Marquis James would definitely be very popular, but it was different in the army.

is too sociable at the same time, but also makes people think that he is too hypocritical, good at drilling camps, beard and horses.

Especially in the position he held before, he had to make small reports to Caesar III from time to time, and his reputation in the army was naturally not high.

"Tom, send for the Marquis James to come over and discuss the matter. Your Excellency the Duke, you can also take a look at the urgent letter from the royal capital!"

As he spoke, Hudson had already handed the letter to the Duke of Cavadia beside him.

The coach and the deputy coach check and balance each other, but it does not mean that everyone has to fight to the death, especially when encountering a coach like Hudson, who is good at dividing power, it is even more temperless.

People are realistic. After leaving the most important defensive task to the Duke of Cavadia, the Northland nobles who were originally hostile to Hudson were left with the Locknard family.

With hundreds of construction sites, large and small, and construction carried out at the same time, the Duke of Kavadia was so busy every day that he simply did not have time for infighting.

The same applies to the Marquis of James. Fighting wits and courage with major forces every day, he is already tired enough, and he has no effort to study infighting.

It is impossible to be idle. Even if the front line is fine, Hudson can figure things out. For example, once in a while, plan a multinational joint operation to attack the Orc Empire in depth.

The Marquis James, who needed a multinational joint action and was responsible for coordinating relations, would soon have to get busy.

The Orc Empire is doing things, and it is not good to be unfamiliar with the situation. Duke Cavadiya's work pressure is also +1 passive.

Sensei fantasizes about refusal, and seeks his own government in his place. Hudson's assignments were all within their scope of responsibility.

Everyone is very busy, and there are many fewer conflicts between each other.

"Your Excellency, judging from the meaning of the letter, the patience of the royal capital has been exhausted, and he wants to launch a full-scale counterattack."

"It's just the core command issue, and there is no sign of solving it yet, according to Wang Du's meaning, the next battle is afraid that quarrels are indispensable."

Duke Cavadia said with a frown.

The building near the water is the first to get the month. The most direct beneficiary of the northward movement of the kingdom's borders is the northern nobles.

Not only did they have the opportunity to expand their fiefdoms, but they also transformed their lair from a dangerous battlefield into a safe hinterland of the kingdom.

The common interest allowed the Northland aristocracy to slowly change from initial opposition to Hudson to cooperation.

Of course, the good reputation earned by not caring about personal gains and losses before, and sending troops to fish for people in time also played a great role in bonuses.

"Wait for Marquis James to come, let's discuss it first, and then settle it!"

Hudson said without changing his face.

In order to enhance his authority, he did not play any tricks. The biggest change is that the former high-level joint military officer meeting has become a three-member meeting.

There are fewer people attending the meeting, and the conflicts of interest involved are also greatly reduced. As long as their own interests are not involved, the three of them are basically able to deal with the problem objectively and fairly.

If someone dares to deliberately make trouble, they will challenge the authority shared by the three people, and they will naturally be jointly suppressed.
