"The kingdom on the chariot is really worthy of its name!"

Along the way, Prince Peter couldn't help but sigh.

As the country that has experienced the most wars in the whole continent, the Alpha Kingdom has all the organizational structures from top to bottom to serve the war.

The perennial orc invasion and the accumulated racial hatred have covered up various contradictions in the country.

The scene in front of me is a true portrayal of the Alpha Kingdom.

Soldier training requires nutritional security, and serf soldiers must first fill their stomachs before they can have combat effectiveness.

This required sacrifices from the aristocratic group. If the serfs were exploited unscrupulously, it would be a joke to talk about combat effectiveness.

If you want to survive on the battlefield, your own private army must be able to fight; If you want a private army to be able to fight, the soldier's body must be well maintained.

The pressure of survival forced the aristocratic group to change. Although the nature of society has not changed, the oppression of serfs by the aristocracy has indeed decreased.

More than ninety percent of the surplus value created by agricultural production is consumed in the military. The aristocratic life of drunken gold fans is becoming a legend in the Alpha Kingdom.

The dawn of the destruction of the orc empire has appeared, and everyone from the king to the ordinary nobles is now holding their breath.

The hatred accumulated over hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted in the bones of every Arfa. The goal of the ruling group is very clear, and all the major factions are working to destroy the orcs.

Such a high centripetal force has only appeared in the history books, and in the eyes of the representatives of the Kingdom of Avalat, it is an endless shock.

"Your Highness, the Alpha Kingdom is in a special situation. If it weren't for the whole army, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed by the orcs long ago.

However, it was only in recent years that Field Marshal Hudson took charge of the kingdom's army.

At present, the military reforms of the countries of the North and Central Continents are all oriented towards the military theory of Marshal Hudson.

It can be summed up in six words: strong training, big logistics! ”

Marquis Suarez said with a smile.

As the minister to Alfa, he single-handedly promoted this expedition. What he sees now can shock Prince Peter, and the Marquis of Suarez also has a sense of accomplishment.

If the kingdom follows the study and becomes strong again, he will definitely be indispensable in the history books.

"What the Marquis said is right, but it's a pity that Marshal Hudson is still young and doesn't have the heart to write a book, otherwise I would definitely read it all night!"

Prince Peter said with a smile.

In the continent of Aslant, those who can write books and speak are all big figures who have influenced an era.

When it comes to social influence, Hudson is far from that far, but military theory is special. This thing is more about practicality.

Hudson didn't write anything about military theory, but that doesn't mean that anyone else didn't write either.

Among the great nobles of the Alpha Kingdom, who doesn't have a copy of "The Art of War" in hand!

It's just that each family has compiled it on its own based on the information they have gathered and their own understandings.

"Your Highness, Marshal Hudson is in the royal capital at the moment, and you can communicate with him in person after the welcome banquet is over.

There will definitely be a lot of harvest at that time! ”

Marquis Suarez quietly agitated.

As a diplomat, the Marquis of Suarez is also well-informed, and after so many years of traveling from south to north, he believes that the alpha model is the most suitable for his kingdom.

This time, Hudson was in charge of the reception on the side of the Alpha Kingdom, which was strongly requested by him, in order to sell the Alpha model to the representatives of the delegation.

Without continuing, Prince Peter turned to the question in his heart: "Your Excellency, Marquis, why do you rarely see free people along the way since you stepped into the Alpha Kingdom for so long?" ”

This is a real problem, the proportion of free people in the Alpha Kingdom is less than 3% of the total population, while in the Kingdom of Awarat it is as high as 26%.

And this proportion is not the highest, such as the Kingdom of the Franks and the Kingdom of Ibya, the proportion of free people is more than fifty percent.

In some countries on the southern continent, the proportion of free people even exceeds 70 percent.

Generally speaking, the higher the percentage of freemen, the more dynamic the local economy, and the more money is invested in the military, and the stronger the military power will be.

The theory that prevailed in the southern continent was directly reversed in the Alpha Kingdom.

What is the economic development of the Alpha Kingdom, there is no in-depth study, Prince Peter is not good at evaluation, but the military strength is really contrary to this theory.

"Your Highness, the situation in the Alpha Kingdom is exceptional. The perennial conquest has led to a high mortality rate among the nobles, so many noble families who should have been reduced to commoners also have the opportunity to become nobles.

Here, almost all the children of the nobility had to go to the battlefield, including those distant relatives who did not have titles, and they had to join the battle.

After years of conquest, the number of nobles and freedmen in the Alpha Kingdom is not large. ”

Marquis Suarez explained with a slight hesitation.

The aristocracy and free people of the Alpha Kingdom died in battle, which only shows that their own situation is special, but it also vaguely exposes the competition for living space among all levels of society.

There were many nobles, and there were many descendants of the nobles, but there were not so many titles to inherit, which led to a skyrocketing number of freemen.

The freedmen were skyrocketed, and because of their closer ties to the ruling group and the higher horizons brought about by their living environment, they were certainly more competitive than the serfs.

It turned out that the serfs were blacksmiths, shoemakers, and all kinds of handicrafts...... It was gradually replaced by freemen.

With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer jobs suitable for serfs, and it has become inevitable for the development of the times to be gradually eliminated.

It stands to reason that the Kingdom of Avarat, like the other countries of the Southern Continent, should continue to grow in number and gradually become the mainstream group of society.

After more than a quarter of the people who were slapped in the face, the number stagnated. It is clear that someone has turned a commoner with personal freedom into serfs again.

When it comes to deep-seated social contradictions, Marquis Suarez, who doesn't want to get into trouble, doesn't dare to say much.

Prince Peter, who had an eye, sighed secretly after understanding the truth.

The road to reform is not destined to be smooth sailing, the mess of the Kingdom of Avalat has dragged on for too long, and the interests of all parties will inevitably be touched if it is to carry out in-depth reforms.

Now that everyone is in favor of reform, it seems that the situation for the reformists is very good, and that is because the reformists have not yet taken substantive measures and have not touched the core interests of either side.

Once the reform is fully launched, it will be necessary to cut the flesh from everyone, and the situation will be completely different.

……

"Your Royal Highness, Peter, welcome to your visit!"

In front of the palace, Hudson led a group of princes and nobles to greet him.

This is the job of the reception minister, and I can't hide if I want to. In addition to him, the representative of the kingdom, there are also representatives of the royal family.

It's just that the eldest prince of the royal family chose to fish and make up the numbers, and left all the reception work to Hudson.

Unfortunately, Hudson was not a diligent master, and the reception ceremony was completely simple.

Typos, grand greetings, that's non-existent. The Alpha Kingdom just wants to gain prestige in the world, but it doesn't have the arrogance to spend a lot of money on these vain ceremonies.

"It is also an honor for me to visit your country!

I hope that this time I can have a pleasant exchange and ...... for the development of relations between the two countries."

Prince Peter replied with a smile.

……

Anyway, they didn't know each other, and after a few polite words, Hudson invited the delegation to the welcome banquet.

The banquet decoration can only be regarded as decent, but the specifications are still very high, Caesar IV was present in person, and the ministers of the kingdom also appeared at the banquet one after another.

It's just that Prince Peter, as the protagonist, is not on the banquet at all. No amount of delicious food is as important as the task.

What's more, due to limited funds, the food standard of the Alpha Kingdom is actually not very good. The Warcraft meat used is only a hybrid descendant of artificially bred Warcraft and domestic animals.

There is no way, Warcraft is a strategic resource in the Alpha Kingdom.

Now as long as the Warcraft is captured, as long as the combat effectiveness is okay, it is either left by the local nobles, or sent to the Warcraft Legion.

Of course, the meat quality of the wild monster is actually not very good, and the main thing to pay attention to when putting it on the table is the noodles, rather than simply pursuing the taste.

"Marshal Hudson, your country's culture is truly unique!"

Prince Peter complained jokingly.

These are all facts, and the culture of the Alpha Kingdom is also unique compared to the countries of the continent.

In any world, the alternative is excluded. The kingdom is anxious to engage in political and cultural exports, but in fact, it also wants to change this misfit.

"One side of the water and soil, one side of the people.

Your Highness, you will get used to it.

In fact, we are not as rigid as you think, for example: this banquet.

Because of the large number of wars, our important banquets are usually mixed with the discussion of military affairs, so there are no noble ladies involved.

If it was an ordinary banquet, it would actually be similar to your country, not as serious as it is now. ”

Hudson explained with a smile.

If you don't want to change, then change others. This is the pride of a great country!

The Principality of Moxi has been alpha-formized, and the three countries of the Central Continent are being alpha-formized, if the Kingdom of Avalat is also alpha-formized, then the mainstream of the future Aslant Continent may be alpha-formalization.

Racial contradictions mask ideological struggles, but this does not mean that these contradictions do not exist. If one day the Terrans dominate the continent, these problems will become the focus of new contradictions.

"Field Marshal Hudson, the achievements of your country in recent years have attracted the attention of the world. However, there is one question that I should take the liberty of asking.

If one day the Orc Empire is destroyed and the race war suddenly ceases, where will the Alpha Kingdom go? ”

Prince Peter asked with concern.

The more I studied the institutional structure of the Alpha Kingdom, the more I realized that it was a kingdom born for war.

In times of war, such countries are capable of bursting out with the strongest fighting power, but once the war is over, the situation is completely different.

Many of the measures that originally promoted the development of the kingdom are likely to become cancers that restrict the development of the kingdom and even undermine the stability of the kingdom.

"Your Highness, you have been too worried. Nothing remains the same in this world except faith.

The measures that are being put in place only need to meet the needs of the present.

As for future development, it is natural to overturn those outdated measures and formulate new national policies in light of the actual situation.

Any vain attempt to create a set of mechanisms and operate them step by step forever will be eliminated by the world!

If one day the Orc Empire suddenly disappears, then the national policy of the kingdom will definitely change significantly.

In fact, we have already put measures in place. It's just that the goal of destroying the orc empire has not yet been achieved, and it is inconvenient to announce it to the public for the time being. ”

Hudson said with an unchanging face.

The corresponding measures of bullshit, the destruction of the orc empire is just a political slogan to unite the kingdom, who will believe it except for the younger generation?

Including Hudson, the strategist, he just wanted to gradually encroach on the orc empire. Swallow the orc empire in one gulp, and the snake will choke to death if it swallows the elephant.

The most optimistic estimate is that the kingdom will be able to annex the behemoth of the orc empire in the next two hundred years.

For such a long time, no one knows what will happen in the middle, and no matter how perfect the plan is, it will be invalid because it cannot keep up with the times.

But I don't believe in it, but the outside world thinks: The Alpha Kingdom can destroy the Orc Empire.

This kind of self-confidence is very much in line with the trajectory of human development. In the past years, mankind defeated one enemy after another before becoming the hegemon of the continent.

As far as Hudson knew, there were also people within the Terran Alliance who proposed to destroy the races within fifty years and dominate the continent of Aslanth.

Theoretically, the Terrans do have this strength. If the infighting stops, the war to unify the continent can be launched now.

"The marshal is right, the system does have to change with the pace of the times, and it is because my Kingdom of Avalat has been slow to react in this regard that it has fallen behind.

This visit is to learn from your country the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army! ”

Prince Peter replied with a smile.

He didn't care about the future of the Alpha Kingdom, and the tentative inquiry was mainly to know if the Alpha Mode could land smoothly.

In fact, there is not much problem in this regard, they are just following the trend to learn, and there are several examples in front of them.

Even if something goes wrong, it is the country in front that will cause the accident first, and they can completely follow behind to learn from the experience and go out of their own way.

Hudson, who understood all this, forcibly held back a smile. The Alpha Kingdom's reckless military force is not so easy to learn.

Once on this path, the country will never want to be rich.

When there are foreign enemies, this is the best organizational model, and if there are no foreign enemies, the current system is the biggest hidden danger in the kingdom.

The princes are stronger than the other, and if the central government wants to suppress the princes from all walks of life, it must ensure that the kings of all generations must be above the level, as long as there is one ability to collapse, the royal power will be greatly weakened.

Of course, for the declining kingdom of Avalat, as long as it can become stronger, these problems are not a big deal.

After all, in a declining kingdom, the central government's control over the local areas is also not much higher.

If everyone becomes stronger together, at least they can avoid the prying eyes of foreign enemies. The restlessness of the internal princes, they have long been accustomed to it.

There are internal hidden dangers, just use political means to slowly reconcile the contradictions, anyway, there are no nobles in the Aslant continent who have rebelled because of their power.

The exchange of military theoretical knowledge continued, and the two sides exchanged gifts, thus concluding the first round of talks.

Back in the embassy, the accompanying magician looked at the pile of priceless magic potions on the table, and his eyes were about to jump out.

"Your Highness, these are all gifts from Marshal Hudson?"

Master Bernard asked, horrified.

For aristocrats, don't be in a hurry to be surprised when you receive a big gift. Usually in this case, there are conditions attached.

This time, they also prepared a heavy gift for Hudson, and that was because they asked for help.

"These magic potions, put outside the Sanctuary magicians can break their heads, except for Marshal Hudson, who can send them out so arrogantly?"

Prince Peter nodded and said.

You must have known that this gift is so heavy, he will definitely refuse it just now.

Now that everything has been collected, and then it is returned to others, it will offend people.

This time, they have come to learn advanced military concepts, but they cannot offend other people's military bigwigs as soon as they come up.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Since Marshal Hudson has given you this great gift, it must be what he asks for and you can solve it.

As a high-powered marshal of the first kingdom of the Northern Continent, he has no shortage of money, power, and beauties, and if you have to talk about the shortcomings, it is that the population of the territory is slightly insufficient.

These happen to be what the kingdom has. After so many years of peaceful development, the kingdom has also accumulated a lot of wealthy people.

……”

After the Marquis Suarez's words were finished, Prince Peter's hanging heart suddenly fell. It's good to know that the other party has something to ask for, and I'm most afraid of accepting the heavy gift in a daze.

His intuition told him that the minister in front of him must have some contact with Hudson in private, otherwise he would never have been able to understand the truth so quickly.

Knowing it, Prince Peter still has no intention of debunking it, and the aristocratic world is originally a process of resource exchange.

If he simply paid to buy people, he would definitely refuse. This kind of large-scale population trade was also detrimental to the prestige of the aristocracy.

Why did Hudson take out a magic potion, or a precious potion that money can't buy, and the nature is suddenly different.

Talking about money hurts feelings, and the nobles directly give gifts to each other, that is, the friendship of courtesy.

Prince Peter was sure that as long as the news spread back to China, the great nobles of the country would not mind having this friendship with Hudson.

"Your Excellency Marquis, you are most familiar with the situation in the Alpha Kingdom, so I will leave this matter to you to coordinate.

Your Majesty, I'll be in charge of explaining, and I don't think there will be any problems.

My kingdom of Awarat likes to make friends the most, and naturally I can't let my friends suffer.

Mage Bernard begs you to help me estimate the price, and I'm ready to return the favor!" In return, you can choose any bottle of potion here. ”

Prince Peter said without changing his face.
