Emerald Palace.

After the departure of the princes, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn.

Faced with the annoyed gaze of his ministers, Caesar IV's face was very ugly.

When encountering difficulties, when the boss does not protect the younger brother in the first place, it is very politically embarrassing.

Moreover, the reformists were only formed under his promotion. Without him as a king, it would have been impossible to grow and develop.

However, politics is cruel, and when it realizes that the tide is turning, the original political alliance collapses.

Caesar IV, who was the king, simply chose to give up, and had no intention of pulling them at all.

In the face of the resentment of his younger brothers, Caesar IV was also very helpless.

In that situation just now, if he continued to support the reformers, he would not be able to get in.

The powerful factions that supported the reform defected one after another, and even Marshal Hudson, who had always been strong, chose to compromise.

Fighting alone is a taboo for monarchs.

"The situation has deteriorated, you should leave a useful body first, and wait for the time of day!"

Caesar IV said slowly.

The reformers collapsed, the conservatives were more powerful than ever, and the reshuffle in the court was a foregone conclusion.

His intuition told him that today's scene was a long-term plan for conservatives.

Those in front of us are waiting for the reformers to jump into the pit themselves. But they didn't know anything in advance and helped the enemy set the stage.

If he had received the news in advance, Caesar IV would never have convened a joint council of governors of the provinces without certainty.

In the political battle ahead, conservatives have been pushed out of the court.

As long as these local governors are not brought together, the contradictions will not be directly intensified, let alone a scene of forcing the palace.

According to the rules of the political game, even if the reformers will decline, they will be able to hold out in the court for a few years.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation, I'm afraid we can't retreat if we want to.

Conservatives are arrogant and bound to turn over old accounts.

In the process of promoting reform, we have encountered many problems, and these are the handle of the enemy.

Once the lid is lifted, not only will we not be able to get out of it, but you will also be affected! ”

The words of the Marquis delgado, the prime minister, made Caesar IV frown.

It seems to be thinking about him, but in fact it is also a subtle threat.

It's hard to be completely clean in politics, there are problems with the courtiers, and Caesar IV, the king, also has a dark history.

The two sides have worked together for so many years, and they have long been tied together.

The younger brothers overturned, and Caesar IV, the boss, could not escape the blame.

It is small to damage the prestige of the monarch, and I am most afraid that the conservatives will take the opportunity to become bigger and empty him in the court.

"Don't worry, I'll fight for you.

The subsequent political struggle will be limited to the court and will not affect your family! ”

Caesar IV replied with a gloomy face.

He didn't want to fight this package ticket, but the loser also needed to be appeased, so as not to be forced to burn the jade directly.

What's more, these people are all doing things for him, if the end is too miserable, it will also cause the rabbits and foxes of other subordinates to die.

"Your Majesty, let's decide who will replace you as soon as possible, the conservatives won't leave us much time.

Perhaps tomorrow the bill to impeach the government will appear in the Diet of the Nobles.

Doomed to leave, we also want to go decently! ”

The words of the Marquis delgado made the atmosphere at the scene even more sad.

In the past political struggles, everyone paid attention to doing things and leaving a line, so that they could see each other in the future.

Even if the struggle fails, it is usually the resignation of oneself and the departure of the person, and the worst is nothing more than being deposed by the king.

It has only happened once in the history of the Alpha Kingdom when it comes to the ruling of the Council of Nobles, and it is due to the fall of the government due to the defeat in the war.

Once they get into the council, their black history will be pulled out, and losing their official positions is a basic operation, and if the circumstances are serious, they will even win the title.

There is no doubt that the hatred of the reformists this time is big enough. Those whose interests have been damaged by the reform are eager to have their bodies broken into pieces.

In order to warn latecomers, conservatives are likely to be ruthless against them this time.

……

Marshal's House.

At the end of the meeting, Hudson's home was still full of guests.

The defeat of the reformers had a certain impact on his popularity, but it was not fatal.

In the previous reform process, Hudson's agricultural reform was a great success.

Conservatives can reject other reformist policies, but the fruits of agrarian reform cannot be erased.

It is impossible to eat the dividends of increased grain production and let everyone go back to the past.

With this achievement, it is impossible for the conservatives' counteroffensive to burn the fire on his head.

Of course, this is only the obvious reason.

There have been too many incidents in history of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and no matter how great the political achievements are, they are not as good as standing in the wrong line.

What can really make the conservatives stop is Hudson's special status and strength, and no one wants to cause him trouble.

Glancing at the embarrassed crowd, Hudson's heart was mixed.

If it weren't for the defection of these guys, the situation would never have deteriorated quickly. Even if the reform fails, it will not be so complete.

The choice of the new aristocracy, he could understand.

Essentially, these guys support the reformers in order to allow the kingdom to quickly accumulate strength and lay the foundation for the destruction of the orc empire.

Now that I have a better choice, I naturally can't cut the flesh and support the change.

But he turned around without saying a word, and his heart was still uncomfortable, so he should say hello first and ask for his opinion!

"Marshal ......"

Before Earl Albert could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted first: "There is no need to mention the past.

From now on, there will be no reformers in the kingdom. It's a decision made by everyone, and we are responsible for it! ”

Loss is inevitable.

Even from the beginning, Hudson was not optimistic that the reformers would succeed, but he was still a little sad that the reform had failed.

The aristocracy dominates the world, which is essentially a family world.

When making decisions based on one's own interests, it is inevitable that they will be short-sighted.

If this best opportunity is missed, it will be more difficult to carry out reforms in the future.

Whether or not to carry out reforms in the short term will have little impact on the kingdom. But once the time period is extended, the consequences can be serious.

There is no point in sighing, and to the point of burning eyebrows, vested interest groups will not cut their own flesh.

In fact, even if the reformers win a big victory, no one can guarantee that the reform will succeed.

No matter how good a policy is, someone needs to implement it.

The officials responsible for the implementation happen to come from the aristocratic group, and the internal links are inextricably linked.

In the end, it depends entirely on the discipline of the bureaucrats.

"Marshal, the reformist ......"

Halfway through his words, Earl Albert hurriedly swallowed back.

At the court council, they had already betrayed the reformers, and it would be too contrived to raise them at this moment.

Hudson's position is very obvious, he just doesn't want to be too troubled.

Stopping the meeting early to buy time for the reformers is a form of camaraderie among colleagues.

Without Hudson, the other emerging aristocratic governors had limited weight to influence the decisions of the royal government.

In this way, it will be difficult for the children of the various families to be inserted into the reformers.

There are no eggs under the nest.

It's impossible not to be on the wrong side without paying the price.

Even if they defected, these children who were involved in the whirlpool of the storm still lost their political lives.

……

The political defeat of the reformers in the Alpha Kingdom quickly spread to the Five Nations Alliance.

The sudden cessation of reform in the Alpha Kingdom, which is the weather vane, is also a big blow to the reformist forces in various countries.

However, the current situation is that the arrow is ready to be fired.

There are so many preparations in advance, it is impossible to give up directly because of external influences.

After all, the situation is not the same from country to country.

The fact that the Alpha Kingdom has no threat from foreign enemies does not mean that the other four countries also have no threat from foreign enemies.

In the face of the great enemy of the alien alliance, everyone has to find a way to increase their own strength, and the motivation to support them to initiate reform still exists.

Especially the three countries of the Central Continent, their population and economy are not worse than those of the Alpha Kingdom, and theoretically speaking, as long as the reform is successful, they can catch up.

In a small wave of public opinion, apart from a slight impact on morale, everyone continued to push for reform.

The whole continent is in full swing of reform, and the orcs in a lonely corner are also forced to a crossroads at this moment.

There is an increase in the number of races involved in decision-making compared to the previous one.

Relying on constant public relations and strong strength, the dark elves successfully infiltrated the orc empire.

As for the hell dogs that also invaded the savannah, their fate was much more tragic.

After being beaten, they also wanted to join the big family of the Orc Empire, but unfortunately the previous war had stained each other's blood.

Except for a few Helldogs that have been reduced to mounts, the rest have been reduced to magical materials for shamans.

The first time she participated in the high-level meeting of the Orc Empire, the Dark Elf Queen was warmly welcomed by everyone.

Those hot eyes, I can't wait to come on the spot......

"Ahem!"

After reminding the orcs with a coughing sound, the Bear Man Emperor said angrily:

"Everyone is here, let's start today's meeting!"

What a shame for the orcs!

Isn't it just a female elf, showing such fanaticism, as if she had never seen it.

Contempt is contempt, and the Bear Man Emperor can't help but take a few more looks.

In terms of aesthetics, the appearance and temperament of the elves are very lethal to most races.

Compared with pure elves, the biggest feature of dark elves is charm, and it is a charm mixed with natural breath

Even orcs can't resist this kind of dark elf who has inherited the dual talents of elves and succubi.

"Let me first brief you on the changes in the international situation, and you all pay attention to it.

The war between the two camps against the invasion of the geocentric race has basically come to an end.

With the exception of the elves, there is now a wave of political reform within the community.

Everyone knows this, and even some races in the empire have joined the wave of reform.

Everything is about strengthening, and there is no problem with any decision made based on this principle.

It is enough for each ethnic group to make its own decisions on internal affairs.

I have gathered everyone here today because I received a message about the life and death of the empire not long ago.

A fierce political struggle broke out in our neighbor Alpha Kingdom, in which the reformers were defeated, and now they have suspended the reform of internal affairs.

If that's all there is to it, then it's good news for the empire as well.

However, according to the spy we planted in the past, there is also a message that the Arfa has chosen to stop reforming, mainly to invade the empire!

Now the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom only do three things: farming, building armor, and training.

Worst of all, thanks to the agrarian reforms, the enemy's grain production increased dramatically.

According to the official statistics of the Alpha Kingdom, their grain yield increased by an average of 50 pounds per acre, an increase of nearly one-third from three years ago. ”

As soon as the Eagle King's words landed, the faces of all the orcs turned ugly.

In feudal times, the strategic significance of grain production was extraordinary. An increase in grain production means an increase in overall national strength.

Especially when these grains fall into the hands of the Alpha Kingdom, that is, there are proper soldiers when there is food.

With a little brain, you will know: after accumulating enough food and grass, building enough armor, and training enough elites, the enemy will definitely provoke a big battle.

"Isn't it too exaggerated to increase grain yield by one-third per acre?

According to the information received earlier, the total grain production of the Arfa has increased by 10 percent!

Considering the area of their territory, it is normal for them to increase their grain production capacity somewhat.

It's too scary to add so much at once! ”

The Elephant King couldn't help but question.

If there is a significant increase in food production capacity, it means that all the soldiers of the Alpha Kingdom, including the noble private army and the reserves, will be able to fill their stomachs.

There is no doubt that even the most stingy noble lord will not starve soldiers if he has the conditions.

This is the lesson of countless ancestors, who have been exchanged for blood.

According to the style of the Alpha Person, in the case of food security, the number of subsequent elite soldiers will definitely rise.

If the enemy's strength continues to increase, it will be even more impossible to fight.

"Elephant King, I also hope that this information is false, but we have sent someone to verify it again.

Since the defeat of the Empire, we have intensified our intelligence gathering on the enemy, and you can't be mistaken! ”

The Eagle Emperor's answer dashed the last hope of the orcs.

The enemy sharpens their knives, and they are still dividing and fighting around the internal grassland, and it will definitely be cold if it goes on like this.

"Eagle Emperor, is the Alpha Kingdom really so terrifying?"

The Dark Elf Queen asked, frowning.

I just joined the big family of the Orc Empire, and I haven't had a few days of peace, but the enemy is coming again.

In the Cursed Lands, they had suffered a loss before, and they really didn't want to come back a second time.

If these high-level leaders of the empire have no confidence, then there is basically no hope for the future of the orc empire.

"Queen, although the army of the Alpha Kingdom is powerful, it is not much stronger than our elite, the key is that they have the number one general in the continent.

A Hudson threat is better than an army of millions!

Before Hudson's rise, the empire had been crushing the Alpha Kingdom for three hundred years.

But from the beginning of Hudson's expedition, the empire began to decline. As long as you meet him, you will lose every battle.

It's lucky to be able to pick up a life, and the results can't be taken out at all.

Because of this person, the cumulative number of soldiers in the empire who died was as high as millions!
