Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Reversed Union Council

Seeing a group of soldiers shouting loud slogans and running in circles around the city wall, the onlookers were disappointed.

Originally, they stayed to observe Hudson's military training methods, but they saw a group of people running under the city walls.

Of course, not all armies ran in circles around the city walls, and it was unrealistic for the kingdom's standing army to be as high as 270,000 people, and it was unrealistic to gather all of them together for training.

There were only a few legions guarding the royal capital, and the rest of the troops were trained in their respective stations.

According to the actual situation in the garrison, some units ran circles around the barracks, while others went directly to the field for training.

When the supply of materials was guaranteed, Hudson did not relent, and strictly ordered the noble officers to take the troops for physical training.

It's not impossible to be lazy, as long as you don't get caught, Marshal Hudson rode a dragon to patrol the sky.

Once caught, they will be demoted at the least, or thrown into the "warrior camp" to be convicted and meritorious.

The competition within the aristocracy is also fierce, and the children of the nobles who are mixed in the standing army are basically the lords who have no fiefdom inheritance, and are still waiting to make contributions on the battlefield?

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

Generally speaking, the more senior a general is, the more secure he is, and the easier it is to accumulate military merits.

In contrast, middle- and lower-level officers are much more hard-working. As concrete executors of strategy and tactics, they often undertake the most dangerous tasks.

In all wars, the casualty rate of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom remained high, largely because the middle and lower nobles often had to personally lead their soldiers to kill.

Throw into the "Warrior Battalion", not to mention. Carrying out the arduous task of nine deaths and a lifetime, the credit obtained from completing the task must first be used to compensate for the mistakes made before.

It can be said that from the moment he stepped into the warrior camp, he had already said goodbye to "fame". Some are just persecutors of sin.

The disappointment was held in everyone's hearts. If you decide to follow Hudson and steal the teacher, you will certainly not be impatient.

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

Knowing that someone was stealing the teacher, Hudson did not interfere.

There are so many officers and men participating in the training, there will always be people who will record it, and they are destined to not be able to keep secrets from the moment the training begins.

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

The soldiers in front of me have all come down from the battlefield, although most of them are from the logistics troops, and they have also seen blood on the battlefield.

It's not as good as the previous standing army, that's because the kingdom's original standing army is stationed on the border all year round, and it has friction with the orcs every now and then, and occasionally has to go deep into the orc empire to do things.

Even in peacetime, thousands of combat attrition occur every year. If his own ability was not good, he would have been eliminated a long time ago.

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

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

For half a month, there was no new physical training and queue training, and the occasional combat training was also a simple chopping and stabbing action, which made the big nobles who stole the division directly dumbfounded.

……

"Torsten, our Field Marshal Hudson trains every day, what's there to see?"

Hearing this familiar voice, he turned his head to look at the visitor, and Duke Tolsten said angrily: "Hiro, don't come to this set!"

Saying that there is nothing to look at, the details of the training process are the most detailed records you have recorded.

If I'm not mistaken, you've already sent someone back to try it out in your family's private army. ”

Social beatings are the most able to make people grow, and the hard times in recent years have made these Dukes of the Northland who ascended to the throne in advance grow a lot.

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

"Hey......

Tolsten said this as if you hadn't learned from it.

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

Looking at the teams outside the city, it is obviously different from before. Looks like it's been less than two months since he took over this unit, right?

What's more, the training methods inherited by several of our families are actually not so complicated, and even the latter part of the content is overlapping.

The difference is that our serf soldiers often practice every five days and ten days, and only a small number of elites can train every three days, but here they train every day.

However, Hudson was ruthless enough to directly cut the welfare benefits of noble officers and use them to improve the food standards of these big-headed soldiers.

If it weren't for the nutrition to keep up, such a crazy toss, people would have been wasted by him a long time ago. ”

Duke Hiro complained unabashedly.

Everyone can see the problem, even if they can't see it themselves, the family thinkers behind them will help analyze it, but it doesn't mean that they can follow suit.

Compared with the standing army of the kingdom, it is actually more difficult for the noble private army to carry out institutional reform.

The standing army is of the kingdom, not of one person. In order to win the war, the nobles could accept the temporary loss of a part of their interests.

The family private army is different.

Because they are all their own people, they can rest assured that they can hand over their backs to their companions when fighting, and they can often exert stronger combat effectiveness.

It also comes from one's own people, and if they want to carry out structural reform, they face resistance from top to bottom.

If the head of the family is strong enough, the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers can barely be carried out, but if you want to reduce the treatment of the noble officers, then there is no negotiation.

Everyone is the hero of the family, why should you say that the treatment will be reduced, and the head of the family cannot be unreasonable.

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

But like Hudson's reforms, this is a temporary emergency measure, and once the danger is over, it will soon return to the way it was.

"Okay, you two, Marshal Hudson's military capabilities need not be discussed. With this spare time, you might as well think about how to deal with the next situation! ”

Duke Rodriguez said helplessly.

It seems that they hold power at a young age, and they are the envy of everyone in the outside world, but in fact, they know their own suffering.

The biggest shortcoming of taking the position in advance is the lack of prestige, and he can't suppress the old guys in the clan at all.

is nominally the head of the family, but unfortunately because of the wrong decision of the previous head of the family, it has brought heavy losses to the family, and the father's debts have been repaid, and many people in the clan have opinions about their superiority.

If it weren't for the strict inheritance system in the kingdom, there would have been a big drama of side branches seizing the throne.

The power of the head of the family is affected, whether it is internally or externally, they are not strong.

Sometimes when a decision is made, it will be overturned in the clan, and there will be more violations of the yang and the yin.

If the five major families in the Northland were at their peak, they would have jumped out to compete for the position of head coach long ago, and Hudson would definitely not be so simple if he wanted to be in the position.

Now don't say that they are fighting for the position of coach, and even the position of deputy coach, they don't have the confidence to fight.

Even if they were given nominations, they could only refuse bitterly. For no other reason, they don't believe they can do a good job.

"Rodriguez, do you think it's our turn to control the situation next?

is destined to follow the general trend and drift with the tide, so why bother yourself!

As long as the kingdom can survive this catastrophe smoothly, there is nothing wrong with us being a housekeeper. ”

Duke Hiro said with a nonchalant expression.

It's just that his actual approach is obviously inconsistent with what he says. If he was really ready to go with the flow, he wouldn't be so active in stealing teachers.

Obviously, the conversation between several people was deliberately told to those who were interested. If it is really a discussion, it cannot be chosen on this heavily guarded city gate.

Ever since Caesar IV came to the throne, they have consciously or unconsciously moved closer to the king in order to get out of their awkward political position.

So far, the plan is halfway there. Under the operation of Caesar IV, their relationship with the royal family eased slightly, but their political isolation status was still not changed.

After all, they are still too impatient, and they urgently need to change their political status, and they can't hide it from the old foxes in the kingdom.

I offended so many people before, and now I am in decline and want to turn around, how can everyone make them feel easy?

Including the kindness unleashed by the royal family towards them, it is very illusory. Caesar IV said that he would accept them, but no one knows what he thought in his heart.

After all, their ancestors lost their ancestral business to the royal family, and the older generation who experienced it personally has not yet died!

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, several of them had to repeatedly state that they had no ambitions.

……

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

Less than two years have passed since the conclusion of the last meeting, and it has become like a permanent institution.

There is no way, there are too many places where the parties need to coordinate in the outbreak of a continental war, and they will definitely have to be discussed at a meeting.

The delay in the opening of the meeting is mainly due to the fact that the last meeting has just ended, and it seems that the meeting will be held again immediately.

All countries did not want to make a name for themselves, and when they encountered problems, they would discuss and deal with them in private until the representatives of the five grassland countries jointly sponsored the motion.

The problems were all raised at the coalition meeting, apparently as a result of the breakdown of negotiations.

What is surprising is that Charles III, who loves to be in the limelight, is actually "sick at home" at the moment, and did not come over to join in the fun, but asked the Prime Minister Duke Bergson to preside over the meeting as the representative of the host.

……

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

Duke Bergson asked solemnly.

Greeting everyone's gaze, Count Predrager smiled and said, "Your Excellency, deputies, these accusations are pure nonsense!

When did we cut off the shipping routes and affect the war between the steppe nations and the orcs?

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

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

I don't know how some people's brains grow, but we just reminded us of the strong wind and waves at sea, and we made up so many pictures in our brains.

I am afraid that some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they want to be deserters in battle, and deliberately fabricate excuses.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that if the countries on the steppe fall, there will be two evacuation routes for the people.

Those few boats at sea are not enough for some selfish deserters, where are the tickets of ordinary civilians?

Our country's willingness to accept refugees is out of the spirit of nobility and compassion for the weak......

The main reason for these slanders is that we are not willing to accept cowards who run away without a fight.

These scum, who have enjoyed the glory of the nobility and are unwilling to take on their obligations, fabricated these accusations in order to take revenge on the kingdom! ”

Politics, thick-skinned, eat enough.

No matter how much the five countries of the steppe complain complained, it was something that had not yet happened, and as long as the Alpha Kingdom did not admit it, it would be impossible to convict the crime.

Originally, when the proposal was issued, the five countries did not have the luxury of hoping to do anything to the Alpha Kingdom, but just wanted to create public opinion pressure and force the Alpha to give up their plan to use them as cannon fodder.

It's a pity that the public opinion turmoil has been created, but there is something wrong with the development of the wind. The Alpha Kingdom, which should have been blamed for being busy explaining, directly bit them back.

"Deserter", seemingly a simple two words, was a heinous felony during the Continental War.

Once they fell, even if they were evacuated from the grassland intact, there would be no place for them on the mainland.

Relatives, friends, and family members in the past will be ashamed of them, and even the family behind them will be disgraced.

"Count Predrag, you are a complete slander!"

"It's all slander!"

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

……

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

The other party panicked so quickly, and there was only one explanation: they were really planning to run away!

Now that it has been debunked, it will undoubtedly seriously affect the withdrawal plan of the five countries. A little more amplitude can cause an uproar.

The window paper was pierced, and even if there was an opportunity to withdraw the main forces, they would not dare to implement it now.

If tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people are evacuated from the sea, the spittle stars within the human race can drown them, let alone restore the country.

"Whether there is slander or not, everyone knows in their hearts that many of the congressional representatives here are not blind.

These days, there are so many of you who have returned to your hometown to visit relatives!

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

When it comes to using allies as cannon fodder, I think the representatives of the Duchy of Shillong and the Duchy of Omega will have something to say.

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

When we meet allies like you who have low morals and want to be deserters, we are afraid of being cheated!

You can rest assured that the kingdom will be on top when needed, and who will make us mortal enemies with the orcs! ”

forcibly defended, but it sounds like everyone still thinks it makes sense.

It is an indisputable fact that the number of family visits in the grassland countries has skyrocketed. According to the rules, the early transfer of family members is also considered to be crossing the line.

It's just that this kind of thing, everyone usually turns one eye open and closes one eye, and no one wants to do things absolutely.

The matter of pit teammates, the members of the council present also knew that 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 reason for the five steppe countries is very good, all to resist the invasion of orcs. In addition, it was only forcibly requisitioned at that time, and it had not yet been used as cannon fodder, so everyone could not be convicted in advance.

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

It was determined that there was no way to return to heaven, and the representatives of the two countries in parliament were too lazy to do useless work, and started their retirement careers ahead of schedule.

At this moment, the words of Count Predrague pushed them to the fore again.

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

Even our king is under their house arrest. And use this as a threat, so that we must not complain to the Union Council!

Compelled by His Majesty's safety, we have no choice but to compromise.

Today we finally waited for the opportunity to speak, and in front of many parliamentarian representatives, I don't believe that you still dare to kill the king! ”

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

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

"Cutting off the route", "sitting back and watching the defeat of allies", "deserters", and "using allies as cannon fodder" are already sensitive enough, and now they involve a "case of a monarch under house arrest".

If an accident had happened between either of Bolrent I and Baird I, there would be a murder of the king.

The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the parliamentarians who originally watched the excitement gradually can't sit still.

The previous questions are easy to say, and it is enough to slowly investigate the responsibility of the countries concerned after the sexual war is settled, but the murder of the monarch must not happen under their noses.

Even if it's just a possibility, it's not allowed.

In the silent venue, the atmosphere was depressing and terrifying, and the representatives of the five grassland countries, who were suddenly forced into a corner, hurriedly came out to explain.

Unfortunately, as soon as they spoke, they were interrupted by Duke Bergson.

"I don't care what grievances you have between the seven countries of the grassland, and this kind of thing is not allowed to put the monarchs of other countries under house arrest.

Vainly trying to kill the king is even more heinous!

I propose that the League send a fleet to bring back Bellent I and Baird I, in the meantime you must ensure the safety of both Majestics.

For the rest of the questions, we will meet again after the two Majesties arrive in Lutesia. ”

It seems that Duke Bergson is suppressing the five countries of the steppe, but in fact he is saving the scene.

If the discussion continues, don't say that it is to force the Alpha Kingdom to give up the plan, and the five countries of the grassland will become suspected of killing the monarch first.

After all, the five steppe countries are still politically immature, and it would have been a big failure to bring what had not yet happened to the Union Parliament.

It's just that his ass is not clean yet, and he has left a handle on the issue of treating the Duchy of Shillong and the Duchy of Omega, how can the Alpha Kingdom give up this opportunity?

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

To put it bluntly, none of the crimes they accused the Alpha Kingdom had time to happen, but they were the same crimes, and they themselves were burdened first.

Had it not been for the timely rescue of Duke Bergson, it is estimated that within a few days, the Council of the League would have received the news of the assassination of Brent I and Baird I.

At that time, the five countries of the grassland will become coal, and they will not be able to clear their suspicions by jumping into the sea.

The multiple charges are stacked, and any action taken against them by the Alpha Kingdom in the future has become legal.

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

At this moment, their problem is no longer how to accuse the Alpha Kingdom of its crimes, but how to make the Alpha Kingdom relent.
