Chapter 142, borrowing a knife to kill

"Your Majesty, the government plans to wait for the situation in the grassland to stabilize, and then send some of the servant troops to the battlefield in the Central Continent by sea."

Duke Beckett said with an idea.

The royal government is embarrassed, and since the previous one accepted the surrender of the orcs, it can't slaughter the younger brother for no reason.

However, the hatred between the two sides is too deep, and leaving a large number of orcs is a hidden danger. It's fine when the kingdom is strong, but once it goes into decline, these guys are bound to rebel.

The only option left is to let these guys die on the battlefield. The royal government only needs to consume some money and food to solve this hidden danger.

In order not to cause trouble, Prime Minister Beckett even planned the route of the march, lest the nobles in the country have a hot brain and kill these servant troops in the middle of the road.

Similar things have been repeatedly banned on the front line. Some people who are extremely hostile to orcs will secretly attack the servant army whenever they have the opportunity.

Up to now, there have been more than three digits of aristocratic officers who have been ordered to retire for massacring prisoners.

Military law can't be restrained, and when it comes to their own territory, these guys will only do more ruthlessly.

It's useless to be caught, the Council of Nobles will not convict a nobleman of a felony for slaughtering orcs, and the way to deal with it is nothing more than a fine of three glasses of wine, which is not deterrent at all.

Without further ado, the government immediately arranged ships to send a million servant troops from the steppe to the Central Continent to participate in the war.

How to arrange it, you and Marshal Hudson discussed. In short, the hidden danger of the orc servant army must be eliminated! ”

Caesar IV indifferently ordered.

It is too obvious to requisition two-thirds of the servant army as soon as he opens his mouth and clear the minds of dissidents.

The king of his own country suddenly showed a decisive side, and everyone was very uncomfortable.

However, the target was the orcs, and everyone's opposing hearts fell in an instant.

In the Alpha Kingdom, only dead orcs are the best orcs!

Maybe if you do this, there will be comments in the history books in the future: brutality, butchers, etc., but in the social context of the Terran dominating the world, it will definitely be positive on the whole.

From a small race to the current continental hegemon, the history of the development of the human race is a history of genocide. Most of the territory occupied by the Terran countries was taken from the enemy.

In the process, it is inevitable that it will be accompanied by endless killing.

This is the essence of the jungle in the continent of Aslanth, where all races are in a living environment of killing and being killed. Those who can't keep up with the times have been eliminated.

……

The Chinese army battalion.

Hudson, who received the kingdom's order, was not surprised. Caesar IV and the princes and ministers of the court were not fools, and they would definitely not leave the hidden danger of orcs.

If it was only 800,000 aliens, perhaps in order to show the generosity of the kingdom, they would directly divide a piece of land and settle them.

The number of more than 8 million is really staggering. In the future, if there is chaos, it will inevitably affect the kingdom's rule on the grassland.

In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to implement a policy of "reducing the number of peoples" who surrender to the aliens.

War times are the best way to deal with them, and if you drag it out until after the war, and then try to take measures to solve it, the difficulty will increase tenfold.

"Your Excellency, the order of the kingdom has been given, so follow the rules above!

In principle, the quota of troops is shared among the various races, but considering the actual situation on the battlefield, it is best to give priority to the selection of races with strong combat effectiveness.

Send someone to test the dark elves, and if they are willing to cooperate, arrange for them to act as overseers, and oversee the orcs in battle.

In short, this operation must further divide and disintegrate the servant army, and not leave them a chance to hold together! ”

A simple order directly decided the fate of countless orc races. According to this operation, the strong combat race in the servant army will be weakened very much.

If something happens in the later period, it may be wiped out directly.

It was not that Hudson was hostile to them, it was mainly political necessity. The kingdom does not want to leave a threat, they are inherently purged.

In fact, those races with a strong ability to reproduce are also the targets of purge. It's just that in the cleaning sequence, it's a little bit later.

After all, no matter how much you can be born, it will take time to grow up. The strength of these races will not increase dramatically in a short period of time.

"Marshal, rest assured!

The Servant Army has been watched by us, and it is impossible for them to escape our sight on any major move.

As long as the kingdom's fleet is ready, we will be able to requisition them south immediately, and it will not affect the kingdom's strategic deployment! ”

Count Gulen replied in a high-spirited manner.

Cleaning up the orcs is a job that every nobleman of the kingdom enjoys. If it weren't for the status restrictions, he wouldn't be so polite to the servant army.

Courtesy meets now, and it is finally time for reckoning.

Reinforcing the battlefield in the Middle Continent seemed to be just an ordinary military operation, but as a high-ranking member of the kingdom, he knew very well that this was a mission with no return.

The one million in the early stage is just the beginning, and it will definitely continue to be drawn in the future.

It was not until the kingdom's top brass decided that the servant army was not a threat that the operation stopped.

……

Royal Palace of Hesse.

Looking at the diplomatic note in his hand, Alexander V was dumbfounded. After a short hesitation, he slowly asked:

"Caesar IV wants to kill people with a sword, do you think we should cooperate with them?"

Between countries, interests always come first.

The situation has developed to this point, and the honeymoon period between the five-nation alliance has long ended.

It's true that everyone huddles together to keep warm and fight against the interracial alliance together, but it doesn't mean that they are willing to be used.

Before the Alpha Kingdom launched this war, although it was angry with them, it finally insisted on going its own way despite their opposition.

This was also confirmed by the situation on the battlefield, and the Alpha Kingdom, which took the initiative to start a major war, achieved an unprecedented strategic victory, but the four countries fell victim.

The Principality of Moxi is a landlocked country, and it is sandwiched between the elves and the Alpha Kingdom, so there is no choice at all in terms of strategy, so it can only continue to follow the Alpha Kingdom.

The three countries of the Central Continent are different, and the arrival of reinforcements from the countries of the Southern Continent gives them more choices.

It is not enough to break the covenant, but it is impossible to make them completely dependent on the Alpha Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, we should not offend the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time.

They want to borrow a knife to kill, and we also get a bunch of cheap cannon fodder that can reduce the casualties of the kingdom's army.

It's a good thing for both countries! ”

The Minister of War, Count Niklas, was the first to speak.

Reinforcements from the allies are arriving one after another, but all kinds of drudgery inevitably fall on the kingdom's army.

The number of casualties increasing every day is staggering. The bloodshed and sacrifice continued, and the kingdom's army was about to be wiped out.

The front line was constantly demanding additional troops, and the domestic reserves, which had received full military training, were almost completely withdrawn.

The officials of the subordinate departments in charge of conscription complained all day long.

Some small and medium-sized nobles who have not kept up with the times have not completed the whole army, and they can only make up the numbers with ordinary people at this time.

The continuous decline in the quality of the troops has directly affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, which in turn has led to heavy losses among the officers and men on the front line.

If we do not take appropriate measures to deal with it and allow the vicious circle to continue, a large number of young and strong people will be consumed on the battlefield, and the decline of the country will be an inevitable event.

This pot is too big, and the Ministry of Military Affairs really can't afford it. The Hessian executives present could not afford it either.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Krasner is right, the kingdom has suffered too much loss in the war and is in dire need of a batch of cheap cannon fodder.

A million orc servants would reduce our casualties by at least half a million. As long as the conditions of the Alpha Law are not too excessive, we can all agree to it first! ”

The Prime Minister, Duke Milton, immediately supported.

The problem now is not to help the Arfa deal with the trouble, but that they themselves need a lot of cannon fodder to save the kingdom.

"Since you all see it that way, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should hurry up and communicate with Caesar IV, so as not to be preempted by the Moses!"

Alexander V said with a little reluctance.

In recent years, he has become envious and jealous of his next-door neighbor. Obviously, everyone is in the same position, and the neighboring countries are beaten by orcs every once in a while.

As a result, in just over a dozen years, the Alpha Kingdom soared into the sky, directly destroying the Orc Empire and becoming one of the most powerful countries on the continent in one fell swoop.

Just seeing the rise of his neighbors, he is envious and jealous at most, but the problem is that his family is continuing to decline!

Just completed the military reform, I thought that the kingdom would be able to reverse the trend of decadence and soar to the sky, but it was interrupted by the sudden outbreak of the continental war.

Judging from the current situation, without twenty or thirty years of recuperation, the Kingdom of Hesse will not want to recover.

As a result of this, the gap between the two countries has become more and more wide.

No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you still have to do something. Personal feelings and national interests, Alexander V was still able to distinguish.

……

The movement of a million-strong army was involved, and it was impossible to keep it secret. In order to boost the morale of the army, the Hessians spread the news as soon as the agreement was reached.

Royal Palace of Dapest.

King George, who received the news, directly arrested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and scolded him. There are never too many cannon fodder.

As the main participants in the continental war, in the face of the attack of the elven army, their losses this time were also very heavy.

Orc cannon fodder may have many shortcomings, but one advantage is enough - no responsibility for death!

The Alpha Kingdom wants to play with a knife to kill, which means they can use orc cannon fodder to death. Even if the whole army is wiped out, you can reap the friendship of your allies.

Compared to before, other reinforcements are not good. People are just here to help, not to work hard, and the most dangerous tasks are always undertaken by their own army.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. There is a reason why Alfa chose to give priority to supporting the Kingdom of Hesse.

At present, the main battlefields of the continental war are concentrated in the Central Continent, and the Hessian Kingdom is the only one of the three Central Continent that borders the Alpha Kingdom.

The war on the Duchy's side has now eased. If the Alpha Kingdom aggressively increases its troops in this direction, it is very likely that it will once again attract the enemy's main force.

At that time, the countries of the Southern Continent can stay out of the matter again and sit back and watch our two countries fight with the elven army. This is not good news for either the Principality or the Alpha Kingdom.

What's more, the principality is deep inland, and the orc servant army is drawn over, and it needs to pass through many provinces in the Alpha along the way. With the hatred between them and the orcs, this road will definitely not be stable! ”

The Prime Minister, Marquis Conrad, helped explain.

Within the five-nation alliance, there is also competition. The Principality of Moxi is able to have the same status as the three major kingdoms, in addition to their good record, and the support of the Alpha Kingdom.

In this context, the continuous consolidation of the alliance between the two countries is the most important task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Moxy.

George angrily scolded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the problem of the orc servant army was just the fuse, and more of it was the relationship between the two countries.

The last time the issue of seeking reinforcements was not handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the end, it was he who used his personal connections to get things done.

Frankly, Count Karadzic was also wronged. The biggest problem in the changes in international relations is not in them, but mainly in the fact that the military strength of the Alfa is moving too fast.

So much so that the Principality of Moxie, once the most important ally, has gradually slipped to the level of an ordinary ally, and is no longer as indispensable as before.

"Humph!"

"These are all objective reasons, and the interests between countries are oriented, but this world is a human world after all. As long as you get the people, you can solve all the problems.

What has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs been doing in recent years?

A little to the east, a little to the west, there is no center of gravity at all!

With those efforts, it is better to maintain the relationship between the powerful factions in the Alpha Kingdom. If we do a good job in relations with them, the relations between the two countries will naturally be good! ”

George's words, although not very popular, are the essence of this world.

The aristocratic group dominates the world, and the biggest characteristic is that it is both profit-oriented and mixed with a lot of personal emotions.

Under such a social system, it is often more effective and costly to get the individual in power than to get the royal government.

In this operation, there is an element of deliberate negotiation. The face of the principality was a little unbearable, but George himself was not a man who only cared about face.

"Your Majesty, the lesson is right!

This is a mistake made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we will pay attention to this aspect of our work in the future, and we will not make similar mistakes again! ”

Count Karadzic replied bitterly.

No, if you don't bow your head, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is too idealistic. For a long time, the focus of public relations has been on the court's ministers.

It was not wrong to do so, but the problem was that the ministers they had bet on in front of them were all driven home in the power struggle.

The last internal political reshuffle in the Alpha Kingdom led to the destruction of all the work done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the past.

It is clear that restarting the business relationship will not happen overnight. directly led to the disconnection of the influence of the Principality of Moxi within the Alpha Kingdom, and no one in the court helped to speak.

"Forget it!

I don't care about the past. In the future, the Terrans will launch a major counterattack against the elves, and they will get the main force of the Alpha Kingdom no matter what! ”

……

Around the same time, similar meetings were held between the kingdoms of Dante and the kingdoms of the South Bank. It's just that due to the geographical location, the Alpha Kingdom cannot provide them with direct support in a short period of time.

Theoretically, it is possible to go around the continent by sea, but this is not feasible in the slightest.

Wind and waves at sea are one thing, the main reason is that the time cycle is too long. It will take more than half a year to set off immediately, and after deducting the bad natural weather, I am afraid that the fleet will be able to run for a year.

I know that I can't count on it, so I just don't worry about it. The two countries focused their PR efforts on the Frankish Empire and the Iblyan Kingdom, respectively.

Anyway, it's all about hugging your thighs, and you must hug one that will help you.

The wheels of history, where a fork appeared. Quietly, a split has begun to occur within the five-nation alliance.

Influenced by geopolitics, the Hessians and Mossi, who are next to the Alpha Kingdom, continue to unite around the Alpha Kingdom.

The distant kingdom of Dante and the kingdom of the south coast were less influenced by the Alpha Kingdom, and gradually moved closer to the two overlords of the southern continent politically.
