The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

After years of hard work, Hudson is now also famous, and with a dragon roar, everyone knows that the only marshal of the kingdom has arrived.

Although Hudson had not yet had time to do anything, the morale of the officers and soldiers at the front had changed because of his arrival.

The originally lifeless command suddenly became full of hope.

The kingdom finally changed its commander, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including the Marquis James himself.

Retreating now is nothing more than carrying the infamy of incompetence and returning to the field, and if you eat a few more defeats, then you will want to retreat with your whole body.

Frankly, his command is also decent. There are no major highlights, and there are not many omissions, and the overall performance is still passing.

can stand out from the crowd of generals, and the Marquis of James has doubts about his ability. was able to get to the current position, and it was also killed from the battlefield with a knife and a shot.

Perhaps his performance was not the most impressive, but James's luck was better than that of his contemporaries.

Those competitors who performed better than him once died on the battlefield one by one, and he became the elder of the army after staying up.

During the last war, he also performed very well when assisting Hudson in commanding the army.

It's a pity that it's misplaced.

James, who is more than calm and slightly inflexible, is an excellent executor, but the commander's side is very average.

If you have a staff department and make up for the shortcomings in flexibility, you can also become an excellent commander.

It's a shame that there is no such thing as a staff in Aslante. Hudson's military reforms also remained superficial and did not touch the deeper command system.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but the kingdom simply does not have the conditions to reform the command system under the existing conditions.

Not everyone can be a staff officer, and even Hudson himself is just barely able to put together an immature team, how can it be promoted throughout the army?

If you want to become a qualified staff officer, the first thing you need to do is to emancipate your mind and abandon the shackles of traditional military thinking.

However, ideological solidification is the most important ruling core under the current political system, and there are very few people who have been brainwashed for many years and can not be affected.

When all people are deeply influenced by traditional thinking, those who are not affected become heretics.

This situation is more serious in countries with fewer wars. Especially in the civil war of the human aristocracy, whoever does not follow the rules will be ostracized by the entire circle.

The Alpha Kingdom was more pragmatic, but it was not open enough to overthrow the feudal system. The environment is like this, and Hudson can't do anything about it.

"Marshal ......"

As the words came to his lips, James swallowed them back. It's too late to say anything, and someone always needs to take responsibility for the defeat.

It can't be the king who pushes him to the throne, then he has to carry it himself. Anyway, it was not wronged, and the defeat on the battlefield itself was a mistake in his command.

"Needless to say, go back and rest for a while, your current mental state is very wrong."

Hudson said calmly.

There is no point in appeasement, things have developed to this point, and whether James can make a comeback mainly depends on whether Caesar IV is still willing to trust him.

Unlike Jose's unlucky guy who didn't grow up, Marquis James, who climbed to the top of the military, couldn't be wooed at all.

can have his current status, and the royal family treats him well. If this can still change jobs, not only Caesar IV will kill him, but other forces will not dare to reuse this kind of person.

There is no value, and naturally there is no need to retain. Anyway, there is not much friendship between the two, and it is interesting enough to get by on face.

After checking the messages and making sure there were no problems, the two quickly completed the transfer of power.

After seeing the Marquis James leave, Hudson immediately summoned the main generals of the front line and convened a military meeting.

There has been no change in the strategic deployment, and the main thing is "stability". After suffering a loss, the defense level of various places has been raised, and it is purely a dream to sneak attack the city again.

In a sense, letting the Alpha Kingdom strategically shrink is a big failure in itself.

If the battlefield is in a few newly recovered provinces in the north, the orc cavalry can gallop freely, as long as they don't go too deep and be bitten.

But as soon as the battle line shrank, they faced a dense fortress fortress. Ten miles of a castle, fifty miles of a fortress, that is not an exaggeration.

Even if the cavalry is deep, it will be difficult to play a role in the face of such a defensive network. As soon as he crossed the line, his tracks were exposed, and the sneak attack was purely a dream.

The Alpha Kingdom is not a soft persimmon, and the orc cavalry that has exposed its traces is sending the battle record to the kingdom's army.

While stabilizing the front and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Hudson did not panic at all.

Anyway, no one urged him to fight the orcs.

Caesar IV could dictate Marquis James because he was promoted by the royal family, unlike a princely commander like Hudson.

The defenders did not panic, and it was the turn of the attacking side to have a headache. Facing the defenders with the word "stability" at the head, the orc army began to worry.

In the case of the labor expedition, if you can't take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss. After a few tentative attacks, the battlefield actually entered a state of confrontation.

The orc army did not attack, and the defenders also cowered in the city, and the two sides began a game of staring and staring.

This confrontation lasted for more than a month. The defenders in the city are nothing, and the orc army stationed in the field can't stand it first!

The orcs themselves are not a hygienic race, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in one place, and the camp is in a miasma.

Duke Daniel tried to rectify several times, but was forced to stop because of too much internal opposition.

……

"Marshal Daniel, the current situation is completely different from what you said before. Don't say that it is a heavy blow to the enemy, and now we can't even touch the enemy.

The enemy's reinforcements are about to arrive, and the situation we face will be even worse, and it will be difficult to attack again. ”

The Bear Emperor said breathlessly.

The current battle situation, he is still acceptable. It's just that not fighting for a long time, and it has been so consumed, which is also a heavy pressure on the orc empire.

Logistics problems plague not only the Alpha Kingdom, but also the Orc Empire.

When fighting, there are still corpses on both sides that can be used as supplies, and when they are idle, they will rely purely on the rear to provide supplies.

In order to ensure logistical supply, a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were constantly slaughtered, and he saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

These are the most valuable means of production of all tribes, and if they are all slaughtered here, the rest of the life will not be easy.

If the war is won and a lot of wealth is looted, you can also rely on the smuggling trade to obtain material replenishment from the Terrans.

If the war is lost, then a large-scale food crisis will break out, and the infighting for survival resources will be extremely fierce, and it is unknown whether the orc empire can exist.

"Your Majesty the Bear Emperor, the more times like this, the more patient we must be.

How difficult the defense line of the Alpha Kingdom is, everyone has learned it. With the current strength of the Empire, it is simply unrealistic to storm the enemy's defensive line.

We are under pressure, and the enemy is under pressure. A group of noble lords who have lost their fiefdoms will put pressure on our enemy commander to lead his army out to fight us.

If nothing else, the arrival of enemy reinforcements is the time for a decisive battle between the two sides.

Without the protection of the city, we have to defeat the enemy, and the difficulty drops by more than one notch. ”

Duke Daniel explained indifferently.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is impossible to go all according to plan. The enemy did not play his cards according to the routine, and did not fight them in the seven provinces of northern Xinjiang, so the original battle plan naturally had to be changed.

Hudson's strategic contraction not only preserved the vitality of the kingdom, but also sowed the seeds of a decisive battle.

If the noble lords of the seven northern provinces want to regain their lost territory, they must defeat the orc empire on the battlefield.

"Daniel, you have a good analysis, the enemy is indeed going to fight us, but the time is unknown.

Judging by the current indications, Alpha Kingdom should have changed its manager. Everybody had fought Hudson, and there was no trace of this guy's use of soldiers.

With his position in the Alpha Kingdom Army, it is possible to temporarily suppress the voice of the main battle faction and drag it out for a year and a half until the situation of the war on the mainland becomes clear.

The fact that the Alpha Kingdom can be dragged does not mean that the empire can also be dragged up. Although the elven army has moved south, judging from the current situation, the alliance is still at a disadvantage.

If the Terrans win the continental war, everyone should know what will happen next.

The Empire is able to defeat an Alpha Kingdom, but not an Alpha Kingdom supported by the Terran Alliance.

In recent days, the Mossi army has also begun to assemble towards the border. The total number of troops deployed on the front line is estimated to be no less than 250,000.

With the relationship between the Alpha Kingdom and the Duchy of Moxi, it is not surprising that these armies suddenly joined the war at a critical moment in the war. ”

Beamon Emperor Alex said with a sad expression.

He is not very good at military command, but he is full of political talent. To be able to keep the position of the orc royal family in the case of the vitality of the Beamon clan is greatly damaged, relying on political means.

In the world of great contention, we must not limit our eyes to one place, but also to the overall situation.

The war in the Northern Continent is only one of the factors that affect the outcome of the war, and it is the outcome of the continental war that really determines the fate of the orcs.

"Your Majesty, the victory or defeat of the continental war, please forgive me for not being able to do anything!

The strength of the empire is no longer at its peak, and all we can do is take care of the present.

As an Imperial soldier, what you have to do is to defeat the Alpha Kingdom at the lowest cost and keep the Empire's foundation on the prairie.

The game of continental war is no longer something that the empire can participate in. Instead of hoping to intervene in the continental war, it is better to expect problems within the Terran race and give up supporting the restoration of the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe! ”

Duke Daniel replied forcefully.

Once war is linked to politics, it is a burden to the commander-in-chief, but war cannot be separated from politics.

The combination of contradictions came together, and it was a disaster for the current orc empire.

Anyone who talks about politics beyond the scope of one's own strength is forcibly adding drama to oneself. War is cruel, supporting roles are supporting roles, and forcibly adding drama will only look nondescript.

……

In the heat of summer, reinforcements were ushered in at the front. In fact, with the efficiency of the Alpha Kingdom, reinforcements shouldn't have arrived so slowly.

It was delayed until now because Hudson had sent men to train the Recruiting Corps for a month before letting the troops go.

For no other reason, it's all logistical fault. The difference between staying in place to carry out military training and going to the front line in the north is not a fraction of what is needed.

Although the nobles from all over the country had also trained their troops before, Hudson had no confidence in them. Especially in the army of the minor nobles, the training was clearly not in place.

"The order was given, and all the five recruiting regiments were dispersed and replenished into the various units.

The five standing corps were merged into the Seventh Front, with me personally serving as commander and serving as a reserve for the whole army. ”

The unreasonable order caused the generals to turn their heads and ears, but they were only shocked by Hudson's prestige and did not dare to jump out directly to oppose it.

There is a precedent to follow for recruiting legions as a supplementary force, and there is nothing to dispute, the key is to leave five standing legions as reserves.

In previous wars, most of them were directly studs. If you don't have enough troops, you ask for help from home, what kind of thing is the reserve?

If you insist on talking about reserves, then the regiments directly under the guard command should be able to be counted as the reserves of the whole army.

Normally, when it is their turn to go into battle, it is the most dangerous time of war.

Sometimes not expressing an opinion is a silent opposition. didn't jump out directly, mainly because I was afraid of spraying.

As well-known as Hudson's command ability is his ability to spray people. Countless **, who have been sprayed by him in doubtful life.

The high-ranking aristocratic officers are all face-saving, and after suffering several losses, they all learn to be shrewd.

When I encounter something incomprehensible, the first time I don't jump out to refute it, but encourage others to do it.

When a group of smart people come together, there is a scene in front of them.

"What are you doing in a daze, and you still don't carry out the order!"

Hudson immediately reprimanded.

There is no effort to explain the reason, in the army he just needs everyone to carry out the order. It's not specifically training generals, and it doesn't matter if they can understand why at all.

"Yes, Marshal!"

The generals hurriedly replied.

Those who have followed Hudson know the weight of "military orders like mountains", and those who dare to disobey military orders are now covered with grass.

No matter how noble his status is, it has no effect in front of this powerful marshal.

It's not okay if you're not strong, and in recent days, Hudson is also Alexander. A group of lords in the northern frontier came to harass him every now and then, and they all wanted to fight back.

One by one, the generals left, and only the Earl of Oran, who had a special relationship, remained, obviously having something to say.

"Your Excellency, is there anything else?"

Hudson asked, confused.

My father-in-law is not the master of trouble. As a traditional nobleman, the Earl of Oran has always valued the rules above all else.
