Blood Moon Castle, looking at the conditions offered by Caesar III, stood on the top of the new city Hudson, looked into the distance and shook his head secretly.

The aristocracy was not easy to bully, and even if major concessions were made, Caesar III's plan would still be difficult to pass.

"Tom, notify the mid-level and high-ranking generals of the army to come over for a meeting!"

Hudson ordered with a blank face.

No matter how difficult it is, you must make a gesture of hard work. It's one thing to be able to accomplish it, it's another thing not to work hard.

It is estimated that Caesar III himself did not have any extravagant expectations, and everything went according to his plan.

The royal family seems to be majestic, but since the failure of the last northern expedition, its influence in the army has begun to decline, which is also an indisputable fact.

A large number of aristocratic officers close to the royal family have died, the new generation of the royal family has not had time to fill the throne, and the king's voice in the army has fallen to the lowest point in decades.

This is also the core reason why Caesar III went to great lengths to defeat the mountain of the Northland nobility.

Knocking out the biggest force in the army does not mean that the royal family's control over the army has been strengthened. Just a Marquis of James can't hold his ground at all.

If it weren't for the fact that no one was available, Caesar III would not have picked on a slippery head like Hudson to carry out his political plans.

Looking at the results, you can see that a slippery head is a slippery head, and you don't work hard at all.

It's all determined by status. As a member of the great aristocracy, Hudson simply could not have sat his ass completely on the king's side.

Who allowed Hudson to ascend to the throne purely by chance, and not by the king's promoted lineage?

In fact, Hudson is now in a somewhat awkward position.

In the past, the commander of a war of this level, if not the king himself, was a descendant of the royal family.

Hudson, who came to the throne unexpectedly, could not fully support neither the king nor the aristocracy.

I have to play balance in the middle, and if I am not careful, I am not a person inside and out.

Especially now, when the two sides are at an impasse, he, the middleman, is the most difficult.

If the mentality is not strong enough, it is easy to mistake the whole kingdom and work hard by yourself.

……

In Rutsia, the Terran Alliance meeting is once again in chaos. Around the interests of the prairie, the parties have been at a stalemate for quite some time.

There is no way, the same grassland is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Some areas with fertile water and grass can completely develop fertile land and develop agricultural civilization.

In fact, the Orc Empire has already begun to do it. One-fifth of the vast orc savannah is farmland.

This is also subject to the fact that the orcs do not have a high degree of civilization, and if they are developed by the human race in the past, the degree of development and utilization will definitely increase significantly.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the water source is sufficient, the terrain is flat, and the soil quality is passable, agricultural civilization can be developed.

For other small problems, it is completely possible to change nature with manpower. At least for the big powers, it is not difficult at all to change the natural environment of the local area.

But theory is just theory after all, and if there is mature and good land, naturally no one wants to pick up bad land.

In addition to the land issue, the parties are also at loggerheads over the rule of the orc savannah.

Some advocate a complete split into multiple countries, some advocate the creation of a unified state, and still others advocate the creation of a loose federation.

The major forces all take their own interests as the starting point, and no one is willing to make concessions, which makes the process of the conference very unsmooth.

Faced with this situation, Charles III, as the host, was about to lose his worried hair.

"Enough!

If you want to quarrel, let me go out and quarrel!

What's there to be noisy about, since there is a lot of controversy, then just vote directly. Everyone is the elite of our human race, how can it be like a vegetable market? ”

Charles III's roar of filial piety, which seems to be solving the problem, is actually a bad idea.

Voting can indeed vote for results, but it does not mean that voting is a panacea for solving problems.

In a short period of time, the distribution of interests can be completed by relying on the voting results, but the hidden dangers of contradictions and conflicts cannot be solved by one round of voting.

It's just that there is no better choice at the moment, and as the initiator of the alliance meeting, you have to give the meeting a happy ending.

As for how many hidden dangers were left and how many mines were laid, Charles III could not care so much about it.

Anyway, there are a lot of internal contradictions in the human race, and it would be harmless to add a little more.

"Then, as His Majesty said, each will make a proposal and directly carry out the standard. With the highest percentage of votes, as the resolution of the coalition! ”

Bishop Monteson added.

The Holy See, as the biggest-stirring stick within the Terran Alliance. This kind of digging pits and burying mines has always been their favorite.

The only pity is that they are a religious organization, and when they play politics, they are inevitably linked to religion, so that many times they are indecent.

In the blink of an eye, as many as a dozen plans were proposed. It can be seen that everyone still maintained restraint, and the representatives of the small forces were very self-aware and chose to put out the fire.

……

"The war is over, and the pressure on the kingdom to continue to maintain the existing huge armaments is too great. After careful study, the command decided to carry out a major disarmament.

Considering that the threat of the Orc Empire has disappeared, the military pressure on the kingdom in the future will be greatly reduced, so the number of standing armies will also be greatly reduced compared to the past.

Personally, I believe that maintaining the number of the kingdom's standing army at 50,000 to 80,000 can meet the current military needs.

In view of the current financial pressure on the Kingdom, the number of the Kingdom's standing army can be further reduced in a short period of time.

We can continue to study specific standards. The top priority now is to cut off the surplus army in order to reduce the kingdom's military spending! ”

At the military conference, Hudson vigorously promoted the doctrine of disarmament.

After this battle, the vitality of the Alpha Kingdom was greatly damaged, especially the financial losses, which were the heaviest.

The huge debt pressure has overwhelmed the kingdom. It can be said that it is imperative to dismantle the army.

In order to get out of the game between the king and the aristocratic group, Hudson made a decisive choice - disarmament.

As the commander of the army, this happens to be his job. It would be a proper Principality to come out at such times to preside over disarmament matters in order to relieve the financial burden on the Kingdom.

By the way, it also solved the biggest hidden danger for Caesar III.

Once the aristocratic army was disbanded and returned home, the next game was a purely political struggle, and there was no need to worry about the parties falling apart and turning into a military conflict.

"Dear Earl Hudson, we have no problem with the dismantling of the army when the war is over. This is all due to the meaning, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

However, the number of the kingdom's standing army is inevitably too small, right?

You must know that the kingdom has maintained more than 300,000 standing troops all year round, and how can it match our international status with the reduction of so many establishments at once?

Especially now, while the kingdom has regained its lost territory, it has also made small gains. It is entirely possible that we can maintain a larger army to demonstrate our status as the third most powerful country in the kingdom continent! ”

The Earl of Pierce was the first to object.

His instincts told him that there was a conspiracy in Hudson's plan. Although it is not known what this is plotting, the direct opposition supported by the enemy is right.

Theoretically, the military pressure on the kingdom disappeared, and it was the right thing to do with the reduction of the standing army. But Count Pierce's heart was very uneasy.

On the surface, the number of the kingdom's standing army has been greatly reduced, but the number of nobles' private army has not been restricted, which is very beneficial to everyone.

But this is for the great nobles whose strength is intact. The aristocratic forces, which are greatly weakened or on the verge of collapse, are in dire need of the protection of the kingdom at this moment.

The Dalton family naturally did not fall to this point, but it is an indisputable fact that their vitality was greatly damaged.

If there is no threat from competitors, I will go back to recuperate for ten or eight years, and I will slowly recover.

Unfortunately, they are surrounded not only by competitors, but also by strong competitors.

The comprehensive strength of the Dalton family can easily suppress the Coslow family, but at the moment, they are unfortunately at a disadvantage.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless examples to prove that only strength that is transformed into military strength is true hard power.

The foundation is deep and the foundation is strong, and that also requires a transformation process. Until it's fully transformed, it's all a dream.

"Count Pierce, your worries are completely overwhelmed. The strength of the kingdom has never been represented by a standing army.

Even the Frankish Kingdom, which is the largest power on the mainland, has a standing army of about 200,000.

From this war, we can see that the previous mode of war is constantly being subverted.

The next thing we need to do is to adapt to the new mode of warfare and train more elite soldiers, instead of blindly piling up numbers.

The combat effectiveness that 50,000 extraordinary troops can burst out may not be much worse than the original standing army of more than 300,000.

Now that the kingdom is short of labor, we must trade the least amount of manpower for the greatest combat effectiveness. ”

Hudson replied with an unchanging face.

This little trouble can't bother him at all. The background of the great disarmament was a huge deficit in the Kingdom's financial and labor resources at the same time.

Now that the problem has arisen, it needs to be solved. Taking advantage of the trend to launch military reform is also something that cannot be done.
