Chapter 46, the smell of gunpowder

"The new territories will be disposed of like this!

The government completed the division of provinces and counties as soon as possible, and then issued an announcement to the outside world, inviting people with lofty ideals in the kingdom to initiate the expansion.

Next, let's talk about the problem of the inner world.

Everyone knows that the royal family has an entrance to the center of the earth, and in order to strengthen the strength of the kingdom, I decided to take it out and let all parties participate in the development! ”

Caesar IV's words landed, except for Hudson, who was slightly surprised, there was no trace of waves on the faces of the others, obviously communicated in advance.

This is the biggest drawback of the far royal capital, and a lot of news will lag behind.

If you were in the royal capital, this kind of thing would not have been able to hide from Hudson's eyes, and even when the royal family was discussing it, you should have received the news.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Hudson reacted immediately.

The royal family suddenly gave up the entrance to the inner world, and Hudson didn't think Caesar IV would be so selfless. If that's the case, you won't be able to eat alone in front of you.

There is only one explanation for the meat that has been eaten and then spit it out - it was choked!

Although Hudson is not clear about the specific situation of the inner world, he can still roughly judge one or two from the invading inner race.

The royal family exterminated the geocentric race that entered the surface world, which does not mean that the corresponding underground world has also been cleaned up.

On the ground, the royal family presses the enemy, and if you enter the inner world, the situation will be reversed.

The Terrans who did not survive in the inner world ventured into an unfamiliar region, and it would be considered good if they could have four or five points left in ten points of combat power.

The generosity in front of the royal family is most likely a last resort choice after the failure of the attempt to expand the inner world.

Having cleared his mind, Hudson simply smiled and did not say a word, and quietly watched as the ministers sang praises to the king.

The resources of the Inner Earth are very important, but they are in the future, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

In Hudson's view, the great project of developing the resources of the Inner World is no easier than destroying the Orc Empire.

Not only do you have to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but you also have to bear a large number of casualties and huge economic losses in the early stage.

Just going deep into the inner world to clear the remnants of the inner world is a big problem.

If in peacetime, with the strength of the royal family, political and military means together, it can naturally be developed slowly.

It's certainly impossible now!

If you invest a lot of power into the inner world, once you lose a lot, the royal family will be in danger in the future troubled times.

"Marshal, what good advice do you have?"

Seeing that Hudson was unmoved, Caesar IV suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that expanding the inner world will have to take a long-term view!

In addition to the lack of knowledge about the inner world, the biggest problem is that it is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to the pitch black environment.

If you dare to send a large army in, I am afraid that before you find the enemy, the morale of the army will collapse first.

If it is really to develop the Inner World, it is not suitable for the royal government to take immediate action, and the best option is to let the mercenaries explore the way first.

In the complex inner world, mercenaries from the wild road have a much stronger survivability than regular armies. ”

Hudson tactfully persuaded.

A man must be self-aware, and he will not be intimidated when he leads troops to fight on the ground.

If you go to fight in the Inner World, you don't need to talk about it.

If he accidentally strayed into some dangerous place and caused heavy losses to the army, his reputation would be completely ruined.

Losing your reputation is actually nothing, and the worst thing is that you lose your life together.

"Marshal, don't worry, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, we will not blindly push forward!

The strength of the geocentric race is not weak, and now it is only a part of it that has invaded the continent, and the early stage of entering the geocentric world must be mainly a temptation. ”

Caesar IV explained rather helplessly.

It's not that he wants to be cautious, it's that the royal family has already paid the tuition for impulse.

Three waves of men and horses were sent in a row, but all of them went and never returned. If it weren't for the fact that the fourth exploration team had escaped back to the two of them, he would have thought that Inner Earth was a Jedi.

With the limited information in his hand, he quickly came to the conclusion that the inner world is not easy to expand!

If you can't do it yourself, of course you have to pull allies.

Anyway, the entrance is on the territory of the royal family, as long as the expansion is successful, they will definitely share a large share of the resources of the inner world.

It's just that Hudson's indifference still gave Caesar IV a headache.

As the head of the military, Hudson's position will affect a large number of people. If a few big nobles follow suit, it will be difficult to move forward with the plan.

Although the mineral resources of the inner world are abundant, the risks are also proportional to the benefits, and everyone must weigh the pros and cons.

After listening to his king's explanation, Hudson, who had passed the emotional intelligence test, directly chose to laugh and not speak.

The risk reminder is given, and how everyone chooses in the follow-up has nothing to do with him.

He is also interested in the resources of the Inner World, but there is an entrance at his doorstep, so he can't afford to rub the entrance of the royal family.

Although the entrance to the Cursed Lands is now deposited in the hands of the Dark Elves, it is only a matter of time before it is retrieved.

Trading with the Dark Elves is actually a means of infiltration.

When the kingdom destroyed the orcs, the dark elves who had no choice but to accept his kindness if they did not want to destroy the clan.

With the cooperation of the leading party, the difficulty of entering the inner world will be greatly reduced.

However, Caesar IV's approach, Hudson still appreciated it very much.

In the case that he couldn't eat at home, he decisively took out the entrance to the center of the earth to share with the nobles, and obviously grew a lot.

As long as the cake is done well, Caesar IV's prestige in the aristocratic circle will inevitably increase.

……

Warcraft Mountains.

"Alpha, are you crazy?"

McCambede asked, looking puzzled.

The country was ruined and reduced to a casual cultivator, and he didn't want to participate in secular disputes anymore, so he chose to practice penance in the secluded Demon Beast Mountain Range.

It would have been a happy thing for an old friend to come to visit, but when Alpha I explained his intentions, he was stunned.

The Alpha Kingdom is developing well, and the current king, Caesar IV, is also a top-ranked existence among the monarchs of the mainland.

With such outstanding juniors, it is just a matter of not supporting them, and they actually seize power and take the position by themselves.

After living at such an age, he has met a lot of people who like power.

But he is 400 years old, and he is still so obsessed with power, and McCambede has encountered it for the first time.

"Don't worry, old friend, I'm very sober now!

It's disgraceful to do this kind of thing in my capacity, but I have a last resort.

Help me once, after the deed is completed, the Alpha Kingdom will do its best to collect the cultivation materials you need.

After the opening of the golden world, I will do my best to support you to go further.

If you want to restore your country, the Alpha Kingdom will also help you!

……”

Alpha I kept making promises.

The seizure of power by force is the next resort, but without force, even the seizure of power will be in vain.

On the way to win over the army, the death of Duke Tous cut off his opportunity to expand his influence in the army, and he could only take the high-end route instead.

By drawing cakes along the way, he has already won over several allies.

However, these forces can only act as a deterrent, and if it really ends up in a civil war, even if it can seize the kingdom, the Alpha Kingdom will be tossed and abolished.

Alpha I's plan was very simple, first win over a group of strong men, and then use this power to negotiate with the big nobles in the country.

Through his experience in the royal capital, Alpha I had already understood that the biggest obstacle to his restoration now was the great noble group that had risen.

As for the royal family, although some people will oppose it, most people will still choose neutrality when they meet this old ancestor.

"Alpha, even with the support of a few of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get on the top.

In recent years, the Alpha Kingdom has developed too fast, and a lot of strong people have been born.

Even those old powerhouses will not oppose you, and the new generation of powerhouses alone is difficult enough, not to mention that there is still an army in their hands.

If a big war breaks out in the royal capital, one or two of us will die before we can get out.

When it comes to power, family affection is worthless. I don't think that when it's time to turn around, they will show mercy to you, the old ancestor's subordinates! ”

McCambede shook his head and said.

Alpha I's promise, he is also very greedy, but the probability of success is too low.

Nominally, Alpha I is the ancestor of the Alpha Kingdom, and the royal capital is his old nest, but the problem is that he has been gone for more than three hundred years.

Now those who are willing to buy his account are a group of losers in the power struggle who want to gamble again.

People can go to the table, but the stakes are limited to political resources, and it is impossible to ask everyone to sell their lives to him.

Once the two sides get together, who cares if he is the ancestor of the country?

has been dead for more than 300 years in the history books, just make it true and label him as an impostor.

"Rest assured, Maccambed!

You know me. There may be no other advantages, but patience is absolutely not lacking.

It's not that you have to make a move now, you must wait for the opportunity!

You should know that the life of a king is usually not too long.

Little Caesar had no children, so he was under more mental pressure, and the probability of living a long life was even lower.

He only needs to secretly keep looking for someone to give birth, and he will use all kinds of pregnancy recipes sooner or later.

Toss a few more times, and the bones of the body will collapse.

The best time for us to intervene is when there is a new round of royal power.

If it goes well, I'll go straight to the top.

If there is too much resistance from within, then choose a young new monarch from within the royal family, and I will be in charge of overseeing the country! ”

Alpha I said with a little reluctance.

More than 300 years is enough to change a lot of things, and the routine of using the checks and balances of the great nobles is now no longer playable.

The noble group is indeed divided into several camps, but thanks to the need for everyone to join forces to deal with the orcs, the nobles have long evolved, and the internal faction conflicts are not fierce.

If you open the history books, you will find that in the territory of the Alpha Kingdom, there is very little news of the great nobles fighting.

Most of the confrontations are political struggles within the rules.

The team is harmonious, but the boss's life is not easy. When something happens, people can really join forces to scare the king.

Because of the issue of military command, Caesar IV was scolded several times by the people below. If it weren't for the good enough mentality, I'm afraid it would have been scrapped a long time ago.

For such a major event as the change of royal power, the great nobles in the country will definitely intervene.

It's okay to follow the rules of the game, but if someone wants to break the rules, it will inevitably trigger a strong backlash.

Every time he thought of this, Alpha I secretly complained to himself.

He never understood how the kingdom he had built had become the freak he was now.

"It's good to be in prison!

Supervise the country in power first, and when everyone gets used to you being in power, then wait for the opportunity to restore the resistance.

Alpha, if you can think so, you can actually try.

However, you better plan ahead, if there is an older heir in front of the succession sequence, it will not be easy to work later.

In addition, it is best to prepare the concept of governance in advance. With enough merit, everything will be easy! ”

Listening to McCambed's words, Alpha I's face flushed with anger.

This is not the first time!

In the previous few times of pulling allies, everyone made similar judgments.

To sum it up: people just want to play the easy mode, not the hell difficulty.

This is the result of his high enough bid, otherwise no one would have come to join in the fun.

……

The undercurrent of the Alpha Kingdom has not been able to stop the turbulence of the international situation.

After a large number of advanced weapons appeared in the hands of the Inner Earth Race, the Terran countries that received the news immediately reacted.

A sternly worded diplomatic note flew like a snowflake to the dwarven kingdom.

The Dwarven Kingdom, which had been mentally prepared for a long time, naturally could not abandon its original plan because of the diplomatic protests of the Terran countries.

To the accusations of various countries, the official response of the dwarves is: I haven't done it, don't talk nonsense!

As for why there are a large number of dwarven weapons in the geocentric race, the explanation given by the dwarven kingdom is that the dwarves are equipped all over the continent, and as arms dealers, they are not responsible for the final flow of weapons.

The quarrel didn't solve the problem, but it succeeded in pulling the interracial alliance into the water.

Under the investigation of the Terran countries, the evidence of these second-rate dealers selling weapons to the inner race of the earth was quickly caught.

The countries that got the evidence did not have the idea of keeping it secret for the enemy, and immediately stabbed the news to the Terran Alliance Council.

The conflict escalated, and the matter went awry!

A new round of meetings of the Terran Alliance was held, and the hawkish delegates directly proposed to expand the war, but it was opposed by the countries on the front line.

It's okay to start a war, but you have to wait until they've cleaned up the mess.

Otherwise, even if the alliance wins a big victory, they will not be able to divide the spoils.

The proposal was rejected at the congress, but the smell of war spread to all parts of the continent along with the proposal.

……

Late at night, the Royal Palace of Lutesia.

After the daytime meeting of the League, Charles I was worried about whether to continue the war.

As the number one power of the human race, the Frankish Empire has a very strong voice in the alliance.

To prevent foreign wars, it may not be necessary for them to support them; But to wage war against foreign countries, their participation is absolutely indispensable.
