After rectifying the administration of officials, the mental outlook of the officials was very different. If you stretch out your hand indiscriminately, you will be unlucky, and if you let others stretch out your hand indiscriminately, you will be unlucky.

No matter what the connections, it's useless in front of Master Hudson.

As soon as the results came out, the vacant vacancy was immediately filled. More than 30 officials and hundreds of officials were dismissed, and there was no impact on the operation of the territory.

The cruel truth tells them that everything in the territory may be lacking, that is, there will be no shortage of officials.

Compared with the embarrassment in the early stage of entrepreneurship, the Xueyue Collar and the Mountain Collar at this time have completed the accumulation of basic talents.

Perhaps the overall quality is slightly inferior to that of the old aristocracy, but under the more advanced management concept, the system is enough to make up for these gaps.

Seeing that his subordinates were attentive, Hudson was very satisfied. Facts have proved that the deterrent effect of deterring people to the sea is really powerful.

The most important thing is to be durable!

As long as people don't die at sea, they will return to the mainland after a while, just so that everyone can see their miserable appearance.

Happiness is all contrasted, and with these negative examples, the happiness of honest officials will definitely burst in a short period of time.

Witnessing the miserable lives of colleagues, everyone's ability to resist external temptations is bound to increase significantly.

If you're lucky enough to find an island in uncharted waters that is suitable for human habitation, that's even better.

The separation of the Snow Moon Collar and the Mountain Collar was destined for Hudson to develop the navy. With a navy that eats gold, it is certainly impossible to say that it does not expand overseas.

There is no need to think about the master's land, and the crispy navy whose territory has just been born for a few years can bully pirates at most and challenge vested interest groups.

Looking at the problem from the perspective of development, along with the continuous advancement of reforms in various countries on the mainland, after the great explosion of productive forces in the future, all parties will sooner or later turn their attention to the ocean.

Staking in advance will undoubtedly be able to occupy a greater advantage in the new round of competition.

……

"Marshal, the reformers have been defeated, Your Majesty ......"

Hudson shook his head as soon as the King's envoy finished speaking. If he was a loyal minister, he would definitely respond to it, and then jump out with the emerging nobles and old nobles.

At this time, the emerging aristocracy was also holding back the fire in their stomachs, and if Hudson was willing to come forward, with his influence and the support of the king, there was a high probability that a new balance would be formed in the court.

It's just that in this way, he was involved in the political turmoil and no longer had his current transcendent status.

"Your Excellency, go back and tell Your Majesty that the failure of the court meeting that day has decided that the reformers are gone, and no one is powerless.

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and only he personally went out to talk to the core nobles in the conservative faction, thinking that everyone would sell His Majesty's face. ”

Typical bad idea, if talk can solve the problem, there will be no political struggle in this world.

The king's face is indeed big, but he wants to make the family give up the benefits he has in a few words, why?

Hudson did not want to participate, not only because his interests did not match, but also because he was expressing his displeasure with Caesar IV and the emerging aristocracy.

The palace meeting was held suddenly, and I didn't communicate with him beforehand, so I thought of finding him when something happened, and I dreamed of it!

The king is not moral, and the new nobles make decisions, let alone brains.

It's okay to admit that the situation is bad, but "admitting it" also requires skill. Throwing in the towel at the meeting on the spot isn't telling your competitors: Are they a mess!

If everyone is sensible enough, they should delay the decision-making time, and finally Hudson, the leader of the new aristocracy, will come forward to talk to the old aristocrats.

The same political struggle failed, and those who talked about it and those who did not talk about it are completely two different concepts.

The emerging aristocracy twisted into a rope, even the old aristocracy must be afraid of one or two. After a great victory in the political struggle, a few pieces of meat will be left behind.

When the reformists had the upper hand in the front, they did not exterminate the conservatives, and in addition to occupying the positions of the six ministers, there was no shortage of conservative members in the remaining core posts.

A large part of the reason why the current counteroffensive has been so successful is that the conservative forces have never left the court.

In essence, the Alpha Kingdom was too peaceful, and the new nobles had never participated in such high-level political struggles.

The game of political struggle is still at the level of the middle aristocracy. But those struggles belong to the provincial level, and everyone is a neighbor who looks down and doesn't look up, and once things are done, they can fight.

The current political struggle in the kingdom is completely different, and even if the court is defeated, no one will think of solving the problem by military means.

Distance is one thing, the key is to provoke the crime of civil war, and no one can carry it.

In the event of civil strife and the orcs invade the kingdom again, the first to be unlucky is the emerging noble group.

It can be said that the current emerging aristocratic group is a typical example of one wrong step and one wrong step.

Hudson hinted at a private meeting after the court meeting, but at that time everyone was generally optimistic and did not take it to heart at all.

The same political struggle failed, and several old aristocrats who supported the reformists withdrew in time in this round of turmoil.

Without waiting for others to do anything, the children of their family took the initiative to submit their resignations and gave up their positions in the court.

Active withdrawal and passive withdrawal are certainly not a treat. The follow-up political turmoil has nothing to do with anyone at all.

If nothing else, when the turmoil passes, people can return to the court again.

Maybe the power will be worse, but the future of the children has been preserved.

Because of a moment of greed, after realizing that something was wrong, it was too late for the children of the new aristocracy to want to flash.

The conservatives have been brewing for so long to launch, and if there is no result, how will the leading few bigwigs end.

Whoever comes out on top in the current situation will bear the firepower of the conservatives. Caesar IV couldn't resist, and even less so the new aristocracy.

At the beginning of the political storm, the core of the conservative faction secretly met with Hudson, but the outside world did not know it.

The present struggle is actually within the scope of the agreement between the two sides. Hudson's bottom line is very clear: political struggle is okay, but there can be no blood!

At present, the actions of the conservatives are indeed vigorous, but not a single reformist official has been killed so far.

In the midst of a brutal political struggle, it is already very rare to be able to maintain such restraint.

As for the end of political life, if you participate in this game, you must have the consciousness of being eliminated.

Hudson was not a nanny, he was a representative of the emerging aristocracy, but he was also a marshal of the kingdom. Power struggles are okay, but the strength of the kingdom cannot be weakened.

Not participating in the game is actually to maintain the stability of the kingdom. In a sense, Hudson's neutrality at the moment represents not only himself but also the kingdom's military.

The fact that the political storm has continued to this day without involving a single military general is the result of Hudson's behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

It's just that all this is destined to be impossible to expose!

After sending away the king's envoy, Hudson immediately announced a retreat and disappeared from the outside world's sight.

……

Kingdom of Hesse.

As the biggest victims of the invasion of the Inner Race, the Great War had a huge impact on the Hesses.

Especially after seeing the power of the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force, it stimulated the sense of crisis among people of insight in the country. Reason told them that if they didn't make changes, "the ship of the Kingdom of Hesse" would sink.

When the wave of "reforms" swept across the continent, the Hessians joined the movement.

The nobles who had suffered from foreign invasions in previous years formed an alliance with the nobles who had been ravaged by the geocentric race and became the backbone of the reform.

The first to pass was the military reform, and this time, without any obstacles, the comprehensive reserve plan was adopted and put into practice.

All parts of the country have been turned into military camps, and the noble lords who have experienced the lessons of blood and tears have been ruthless this time, vowing to train an elite army.

The reform of the logistics system, which has accompanied the military reform, has also taken a big step forward.

There are positives, and there are negatives. Like the Alpha Kingdom, the war-torn Hesse are in financial crisis.

Half of the kingdom was devastated by the war, and the government's revenues were cut off, but the government's expenses were not reduced.

Everyone understands the principle of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, but in the face of heavy post-war reconstruction pressure, now we really "can't open it, and we can't save it."

"What is the situation, did they agree to borrow?"

Alexander V asked with concern.

There are only two and a half of the current Terran countries that can afford to provide them with funds for reconstruction.

They are the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibya, plus half of the Falcon Kingdom that hangs overseas, all three of which have made war money.

The wealth of the Central Continent and the Southern Continent is all transferring to these three.

Originally, the Alpha Kingdom also undertook some, but unfortunately the domestic market was too closed and had no chance to absorb this wave of wealth.

The capital transferred from the Central Continent was transferred out again after only one road.

Not only has there been a massive outflow of private capital, but some small and medium-sized aristocrats who specialize in commerce have also shifted the focus of their operations.

"Your Majesty, both the Franks and the Libyans have offered us loans, but they have also imposed restrictions.

In addition to capping half of the loan amount and having to purchase goods from within their country, a full opening of the market was proposed.

The industrial and commercial development of the southern continent has always been at the forefront of the mainland, and the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibbean are among the best.

Once restrictions are lifted......"

Marquis Krasner said in embarrassment.

As foreign secretary, he is not only playing diplomacy, but also needs to understand economic affairs.

Open the market with the Alpha Kingdom to each other, and everyone will not be intimidated. Anyway, everyone's productivity is about the same, and the industry and commerce in the Central Continent are even more developed. After opening the market, the impact was not great.

But if you change it to Franks and Libya, it's different. The two countries represent the most advanced productive forces of humanity and indeed of the whole continent.

Once the goods of the two countries are brought in, the industry and commerce of the Kingdom of Hesse will inevitably be affected.

Unlike the Alpha Kingdom, where most of its tax revenue comes from agriculture, nearly one-third of Hesse's revenue comes from industry and commerce.

"This is luring wolves into the house!"

The Prime Minister, Duke Milton, immediately rebuked angrily.

Loans can only solve the immediate needs of the country's economy, and that will have a lasting impact, and even affect the stability of the regime.

In the face of the two giants of the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Iblibya, the Kingdom of Hesse is undoubtedly weak, and he does not think that these two great Terran countries are good men and women.

"Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has tried its best, and even we have asked the alliance to intervene and coordinate, but we still can't get better conditions.

According to the news from the embassy, the Franks and Libyans took advantage of the war to extend their tentacles to many countries in the southern continent.

The economies of some small countries are directly controlled by the two of them. The Terran Alliance seems to have tacitly acquiesced in such a move. ”

After listening to the explanation of the Marquis of Krasner, everyone's faces became more and more ugly.

The fact that the Terrans have been able to coexist in many countries for so many years is largely due to the fact that the alliance suppressed the ambitions of the great powers.

However, this kind of suppression, as the strength gap between the ten kingdoms continues to widen, has become more and more powerless.

In the case of direct armed annexation, the alliance can also intervene, but with this kind of economic infiltration, the alliance is powerless.

In essence, the alliance is an aggregate of many countries, and the stronger the country, the heavier the voice in it.

Including the number of strong men at the top of the alliance, it is also the largest number of people in the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibya.

Although there is no evidence, it is an indisputable fact that the stronger the country, the more strong people are born.

Even in the Alpha Kingdom, which has a weak foundation, the number of new Sacred Domain powerhouses in recent years is more than that of the Hessian Kingdom.

"There is no need to have high expectations on the side of the alliance, as long as the two countries do not challenge the bottom line of the alliance, the alliance will not interfere.

In fact, the rapid development of the two countries is also what the alliance wants to see. The original intention of the establishment of the Terran Alliance was not only to fight against aliens, but also to promote the reunification of the Terrans.

The juxtaposition of many countries is like a sorcerer raising Gu. In the end, we just want to pick out the strongest ones and finally train them!

After so many years, I thought that such a plan would never succeed, but now the situation has changed.

If the power differentiation of countries continues to increase, it is not impossible for the human race to reunite after defeating the alien race. ”

Alexander V said with a solemn expression.

When the first king told him the news, he regarded it as a joke, thinking that it was a joke made by the ancestors and descendants of the human race.

Decades on, it's possible for jokes to become reality. It was a disaster for all the vested interests present.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not so bad. At that time, the Terrans were able to unify because of the limited territory we controlled.

At this moment, the human race is about to unify the continent, and such a vast territory is not something that an empire can rule at all.

What's more, there are still three major countries competing in the alliance at this moment, and even the strongest Frankish Empire does not have the ability to completely suppress any of them.

When our reform is completed, the three-legged triumph will become a four-nation struggle for hegemony.

There are so many countries that have initiated reforms now, and there will always be a few that succeed. There will be more countries in the race, and the league will return to balance.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approached the Falcon Kingdom, and if it goes well, we will be able to survive this crisis even without taking loans from the Franks and Ilivians! ”

Marquis Krasner's words eased the atmosphere in the hall, and many officials cast admiring glances.

Originally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to bear a lot of responsibility for the failure of borrowing from the Franks and Libya, but after the vignette, everyone stopped mentioning it.

Not only is it not mentioned now, but no one will mention it in the future. Even if they are so poor that they are financially bankrupt, no one dares to take such loans.

Only Alexander V really took this as a thing. Because the others only take it as a story, he can be sure that there are indeed many strong people in the alliance who want the Terran to be unified.

Most of the powerful people who are outside the countries and belong to the Terran Alliance are supporters of the unity of the Terran race.

Now they have no action, that is at this moment, there is no Terran country that really has the ability to unify the continent of Aslanth.

"Let's get here today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurry up."

Deep down, Alexander V had decided to communicate more with the royal families and, if necessary, to conclude an anti-hegemonic alliance.
