Chapter 146: The Post-War Era
"Let's see when we get a chance!
Your Excellency, orcs are not soft persimmons. Don't look at the fast advance of the coalition forces now, if it is really replaced by our people, I am afraid that it will be another situation!
The enemy has become a frightened bird, and it is impossible to make them careless and divide their forces at will."
Hudson politely declined.
It's easy to create combat opportunities, but the problem is that with the few remnants of the Holliser family, a single Beamon cavalry regiment can wipe them out.
Including the clansmen of the Coslow family, he did not deliberately arrange the task of brushing up on his military exploits. Not only did Hudson need to be fair and strict, but more importantly, he couldn't afford to lose something unexpected.
Opportunities are reserved for those with strength.
"That's it!
It's me who is too greedy.
Hudson, I didn't say what I just said. The current Holliser family can't stand the toss anymore, and if they lose the last of their family fortunes, even if they make a big feat, it's useless!"
Viscount Oran said with a heartfelt heart.
After calming down, he realized how dangerous his thoughts were. If you go to the battlefield with insufficient strength, no matter how good the fighter is, you can't grasp it.
Just like Hudson's strategy of "using beasts to control beasts and splitting up the orc empire", it was obviously planned by himself, but in the end he took it out and shared it with the coalition forces.
It's not that I don't want to eat alone, it's that the stomach of the Wang *** team is limited and I can't swallow this cake.
If Hudson had been the commander before the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, there would have been nothing to do with the coalition forces at all.
A battle exploit that can become a "marshal of the human race", saying that he will let it out, this decision without dragging the mud and water, makes Viscount Oran admire.
"Your Excellency, don't worry too much. Now the situation is similar for all families, and the Holliser family is not at a loss.
What determines the distribution of benefits after the war is no longer on the battlefield, but more about the political game that follows.
The dispute over the assassination of Eucalyptus made the royal capital on the table. Those big nobles who are implicated are the targets of His Majesty's next suppression.
Especially the five major families in the Northland, they already have grievances with the royal family, but now that new and old hatreds have been added together, Your Majesty will definitely not spare them.
If the Holliser family is willing to give up their current inheritance to come to the northern frontier, obtain the fiefdoms of several counties, and take charge of the power of a province, it will not be a problem at all.
However, the benefits are directly proportional to the risks. Even without the threat of orcs, the conditions in the northern region are not as good as those in the southeastern provinces.
If you want to develop these lands, you need to invest manpower, material resources, and financial resources, which is an astronomical amount.
To hide your honor, the Coslow family decided to stay in the southeastern province. After the war, the most I can do is try to get back the ancestral land from the Loonard family, and even if the rest of the northern Xinjiang is given to me, the Coslow family will not be able to develop it!"
Ha
Desun analyzed rationally.
Whatever choice the Hollisr family makes, he is supportive, but the Coslow family will not go north.
He would rather stay in the Southeastern Province and fight with the Dalton family than to go north and start over. It's not that Hudson is unambitious, it's that the family background is too shallow.
The most important factor is population
Even if all the branches of the Coslow family were to be emptied, all the connections that could be used would be used, and at most hundreds of thousands of people would be made.
With such a small population, the land of a county can be settled. Even if it is a little reluctant, at most it will eat the land of two or three counties.
The cost of relocating these people alone would have bankrupted Hudson. Rather than rushing blindly, he might as well nest in the mountain collar and stumble into the swamp behind him.
At the very least, the mountain collar has an income, and even if the war ends, the annual income is not low. With a little effort, you will be able to break even, and embark on a positive cycle of developing your territory with territorial income.
"Hudson, I'm afraid your plan won't work out. The ancestral land of the Coslow family is in the hands of the Lokhnard family, and they will not hand it over as a last resort.
The five major families in the Northland are in the same spirit, and their situation is similar, so they will not watch this kind of precedent appear.
And the Dalton family, too, will find a way to send you to the Northlands. With their influence among the nobles of the southeastern provinces, most of the nobles of the seven southeastern provinces would support them politically.
You have risen too fast to be able to withstand it by all parties. After the war, they will inevitably find ways to limit your development.
This is still your decisive action before, so that most of the nobles in the kingdom owe favors. Otherwise, the Coslow family will not face restrictions on development, but oppression from all sides.
The situation of the Holliser family is not much better. Although we used to be old aristocrats, there are not many old relationships that are willing to see us go back.
Even after countless years of operation, we can only keep most of the great nobles in the kingdom neutral. Politically, it's hard to support you."
Viscount Oran replied with a wry smile.
If the Coslow family is willing to go to the Northlands, then the Hollisr family can also pull several other middle-class nobles in the kingdom to form a group to go to the Northlands to open up a foundation.
Without Hudson, a powerful thug, even if they join forces with several other families, the Holliser family can't play the five major families in the Northland.
"Your Excellency the Viscount, rest assured, judging from the current situation, it will take several years for the Dalton family to regain their military strength at the peak at the earliest.
If other factors are taken into account, this recovery period is even longer. Before that, they were at best a little bit of a political problem for me.
It's a big deal that after the war, I went back to concentrate on managing the fiefdom and didn't participate in the disputes of the court. Anyway, they don't dare to provoke a military conflict!"
Hudson said confidently.
The aura of a famous general is this time
Waiting. Just one name can intimidate many enemies.
is not completely sure, and you have to be careful when playing outside the game, lest you provoke him, a "young and vigorous celebrity", and directly overturn the table and drag the Dalton family to finish it together.
"If only you knew what to expect!"
Viscount Oran said with envy.
has the strength to pull the Dalton family to finish it together. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not get any worse.
The big family can be passed down through the ages, and the competition is for a long time, and there are few things to do. As a last resort, he will not easily overturn the table and gamble on the lives of the whole family.
……
With the deterioration of the situation on the battlefield, the five royal families of the orcs also accelerated the pace of retreat. In order to be in a hurry, even the physical condition of the elderly, weak, women and children is not cared about.
Many tribes have experienced significant attrition during the evacuation. Even if the sacrificers tried their best to treat them, they still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.
After chasing and fleeing, the battle line was soon pulled to the edge of the orc prairie. At this moment, the five royal families of the orcs have retreated to the Nikolai Plateau in the north and the Salar Hills in the west.
The internal contradictions, which had been covered up, gradually intensified. The barren west and north can't afford to raise so many orcs.
Without the numerous orc races to exploit, not only did the orc nobles lose their luxurious life in the past, but even the daily supply of many small and medium-sized tribes was difficult.
The call to oppose the evacuation and demand to fight out and regain the lost territory is also growing within the orc empire, which makes the five emperors have a headache.
What's worse is the consumption of materials. Having just undergone a great migration, many tribes have been divided into raw lands, and it is difficult to produce large outputs in a short period of time.
There are also many loopholes in the organization. Many of the tribes were clearly agrarian, but they were divided into plateaus that were not suitable for agricultural cultivation; Some nomadic tribes have also been classified into mountainous areas that are not suitable for large-scale grazing.
The officials sent out by the imperial court are either arguing with the tribes below or on the way to arguing.
Because of the distribution of materials, many tribes even fought fiercely. Even if it is forcibly suppressed, the seeds of hatred are planted.
"Something is not good, we didn't estimate it in advance. The barren land in the western and northern regions makes it difficult to feed too many people, and the people are now complaining and complaining.
If this situation continues, I am afraid that it will not be able to be suppressed in the future!"
The Lion Emperor said with a depressed face.
As the most well-preserved of the five royal families, the Lion Clan has retained the largest core population, but it has also encountered the greatest trouble.
Even if a large enough amount of land is allocated, it is now difficult to meet the actual demand. In order to ensure supplies, they have even begun to hunt other orc races.
"Lion Emperor, don't worry too much. This kind of hard life will not last long.
; gt;
We're under a lot of pressure right now, and so is the pressure on the Terran coalition. When you open the map, you can see that it is thousands of miles away from Fengyue Port to here.
If you add the material transfer in the rear, the materials consumed by the Terrans every day are also an extremely large number.
An ordinary Terran soldier fighting on the front line would have to invest at least five times as much manpower to transport supplies in the rear.
According to the information gathered, the main source of military spending for the Terran coalition is still provided by the Alpha Kingdom.
To maintain the consumption of millions of troops on the front line, the daily expenses are astronomical. I don't think the Alpha Kingdom's financial resources will be able to hold on for long.
The military subsidy for the large army of the Terran coalition has been increased to 20 percent. If the war continues, this percentage will continue to rise.
Those with whom we have a deep enmity of blood are also a few Terran countries in the Northland. Most of the Terran nations participated in this war only because of racial interests.
In front, the Alpha Kingdom bears the military expenses, and they are just helping the field, so it is not a big problem. Now it's my turn to pay for myself, and I have more ideas.
Next, we just need to beat the Terran coalition forces and make them realize that we are not easy to bully, and this war should be over.
Of course, we also have to grasp the degree. It has to make the human race feel painful, but it can't stimulate the glass heart of their continent overlord!"
Alex said pretendedly.
Because of the scarcity of people, compared with the other four royal families, the logistical pressure of the Beamon family has become the smallest.
Because the evacuation was completed first, the seized land was basically good, and most of the tribesmen were properly resettled.
However, the low pressure on materials does not mean that Alex has less mental pressure. As Emperor Beamon, since he succeeded to the throne, he has not lived a few days of comfortable life.
Deep down, in addition to scolding his dead father, he was worried about the future fate of the Beamon family.
It was easy to say, but deep down he knew very well that it was easy to give up the orc prairie, but it was not easy to get it back.
If the Terrans can organize a coalition once, they can organize a second time. The newly occupied orc steppe, that is the face of the continental overlord.
Perhaps the future can be slowly abandoned, but in a short time, the Terrans must be held in their hands to prove the merits of the current monarchs to the Terrans.
The face of the overlord + the name of the monarch before and after his death, if anyone dares to touch this taboo, he will be beaten.
"Emperor Beamon, you're thinking too simply. Not only does it have to make the Terran coalition army feel pain, but it can't sweep the face of the Terrans, how can this battle continue?
Don't forget, the Terran coalition now has the upper hand. Even if we pull the front to where we are now, we are still at a disadvantage.
If you want to reverse the situation, you can only put them in first, find a way to break them up, and then use the terrain to slowly consume them!
Damn the Holy See of Dawn, since we announced the thorn
After Jun Yu took charge, they cut off contact with us, and the promises they made before may not be kept.
The only thing that can support us is the joint pressure of all ethnic groups on the mainland. It's a pity that the dragon we bought was unreliable, and it was already recognized by the Terrans."
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said angrily.
The allies are unreliable, and the orc empire, which is fighting alone, has reached the time of life and death.
The defection of a large number of cannon fodder has made the strength of the five royal families tight. The drudgery that was originally undertaken by the cannon fodder race can now only be done by others.
The orc race, which has always been oppressed, has become the vanguard of the attack on them, driven by both hatred and profit.
"That dragon still has some value, and he offered to help contact the Shanghai clan if he could add money.
However, if we want to get the help of the Sea Clan and cut off the sea transportation lines of the Terrans, we still have to rely on ourselves."
The Eagle Man Emperor said with a solemn expression.
It's not difficult to find the Sea Clan, the question is why does the Sea Clan help them?
The creatures of the sea, with the exception of a few amphibians, are not adapted to survive on land. Even if they were able to occupy the entire continent of Aslanth, it would not mean much to them.
In the past, most of the Sea Tribe's invasion of the continent was due to faith. Now that the gods are not holy, and without the oracle order, everyone will naturally not be full and look for excitement.
Profit incentives?
The whole continent is given to others, and people are not necessarily interested. After all, if you swim well in the water, no fish and shrimp want to become salted fish and salted shrimp.
Occasionally, there were local conflicts with the mainland races, and it was all because someone provoked the nearby Sea Tribes to retaliate.
