Chapter 150: The Shipwreck

"Your Excellency, the Three Kingdoms of the Middle Continent have been abolished!

Having lost most of its territory and population, what little power it had left was nothing to mention to the kingdom.

We don't need to care what a bunch of losers think.

The kingdom has more important things to do, and there is no need to waste too much time on them.

The armistice has bound our hands and feet, as well as the hands and feet of the aliens. At least for our generations, we don't need to worry about the threat of alien races.

This is the enemy's conspiracy!

In recent years, the authority of the Terran Alliance has been constantly attacked, and now that there is suddenly no threat from foreign enemies, no one can say whether the alliance can be maintained forever.

Far aside, the immediate problem alone is enough for the alliance to have a headache.

All the countries of the continent have gained nothing in the war, but the kingdom has gained a lot, and I am afraid that they will be envious and jealous.

I'm afraid some guys can't help but want to come over and get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately they miscalculated. Without the threat of alien races, why should the kingdom divide the benefits in hand? ”

The Prime Minister, Duke Beckett, got to the bottom of the problem.

Eight hundred years is too long for the human race.

No country may be able to survive for 800 years, and it is naturally impossible to plan for it in an 800-year time cycle.

There is no threat from external enemies, and it is only a matter of time before internal contradictions intensify.

Take the Alpha Kingdom as an example, and now it is unwilling to share the benefits it has with its allies.

As long as you bite the bullet, the orc empire will be destroyed by itself. By turning a blind eye to the actions of countries to contain interracial alliances, they can legitimately monopolize the spoils of war.

It's useless for the allies to make a fuss, the three kingdoms of the Central Continent are abolished, the vitality of the Principality of Moxi is greatly damaged, and the countries of the Southern Continent are thousands of miles away.

Something that is beyond the range of a cannon is a war of words.

If the allies are not convinced and cause trouble in the Terran Alliance, then the authority of the Alliance will be further weakened, and it may even split directly.

This is exactly what the alien wants to see the most!

"The prime minister is right, this is indeed the enemy's scheme.

Originally, I thought that the 10,000-year catastrophe was just a great harvest of the gods on all beings, but now when I looked back, I suddenly found that there were still shadows of the dragon clan and the demon beast clan.

Judging from the performance of the elves in the past few thousand years, it is obvious that they have long understood the truth and want to jump out of the chessboard.

It's a pity that their luck was not very good, and they couldn't play the continental balance strategy well, and in the end, we were forced into the catastrophe.

Perhaps our ancestors also sensed that something was wrong, so they deliberately split the empire to reduce the fear of the various races against the Terrans, and at the same time formed a Terran alliance to bring the countries together.

Thousands of schemes still can't make up for the gap in strength.

Having missed this opportunity to unify the continent, the alien races will definitely find ways to further divide the human race.

The battle for the spoils of war is just a fuse. Without this, there will be other things that will exacerbate the conflict. ”

Hudson said helplessly.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much. The truth is in front of us, but it is even more worrying.

Recalling the history of the Terrans, Hudson found that there were too many "coincidences" in it.

For example, at a certain time in history, the number of dragon knights of the Terrans suddenly skyrocketed, and they almost formed an alliance with the dragons, and it didn't take long for them to die in battle.

It just so happened that this time was at the turning point of the orc empire from prosperity to decline.

The specific content is not recorded in the history books, anyway, the human race rose rapidly in the process of the collapse of the orc empire.

In the future, the development speed of the human race exceeded the expectations of the major forces, and gradually became the new overlord of the continent.

The Terran that has developed to the present day has a comprehensive strength that surpasses that of the entire anti-Terran Alliance. It is already difficult to destroy the human race by simply attacking from the outside.

If it doesn't work from the outside, then it can only split and disintegrate from the inside.

The "Terran Alliance", which condenses the centripetal force of the Terran Race, has suddenly become a thorn in the side of the major forces, and if you want to truly split the Terran Race, you must first tear the Terran Alliance.

"If the survival of the Terran Alliance is involved, then it must be cautious.

The kingdom cannot afford to split the Union!

Sooner or later, the alliance may split, but it must not be divided in our hands. Even if you give up a part of your interests, you can consider it! ”

Marquis Zuel said categorically.

Interests are important, and reputation is just as important.

In the process of Terran development, the Terran Alliance has played a very important role.

It is easy to break up this alliance, but it is difficult to build it again.

Everything else can be done all over again, but credibility is difficult to rebuild.

When the Terrans need the alliance again and cannot rebuild the alliance, those who bring down the Terran alliance will be fixed on the pillar of shame.

"The countries of the Southern Continent are too far away from the steppes, and it is difficult for them to rule directly, and if they want to participate in and get a piece of the pie, it is more of a blockage for us.

According to the information collected from all over the country, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland who are in exile have been very active recently.

If the kingdom made concessions, they would most likely support the restoration of the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe. ”

After Count Herwyn finished speaking, everyone suddenly had a headache.

The Seven Steppe Countries are legitimate countries recognized by the Terran Alliance, and if the countries of the Southern Continent support their restoration, they will be supported in legal theory.

Morally speaking, after the Alpha Kingdom helps its allies regain lost territory, it cannot directly take it for itself.

Of course, the kingdom's side is not without excuses.

The safe evacuation of the high-level leaders of the seven countries of the grassland, without coexisting with the country, is their biggest shortcoming.

Holding on to this point and refusing to recognize their legitimacy is also in line with the rules of the game.

"If the Seven Kingdoms of the Southern Continent really want to restore the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, then simply fulfill them.

The prairie is too vast, and the kingdom will not be able to develop such a large territory for a while, so it is also a good choice to use external forces to help develop it.

When they are almost done, we will find another excuse and annex the Seven Kingdoms.

Similar annexation actions have already taken shape in the southern continent. Once the authority of the Terran Alliance is further weakened, the era of the Great Annexation will come.

Maybe in the future Terran world, there will only be a few big countries left! ”

Listening to the proposal of the War Secretary, Duke Richard, everyone fell into deep thought.

Politically, this is a good way to go.

Once the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe were reinstated, the diplomatic dilemma faced by the kingdom was directly solved.

The jealousy and jealousy of all countries will quickly disappear.

Once the international situation changes, the kingdom can wait for an opportunity to take action and annex the nascent Seven Steppe Kingdoms.

"Let's canonize the meritorious men in the country first, the land that the kingdom can't digest, and then take it out to make political transactions with other countries.

In addition, our expatriate servant army also needs to have a result. How to deal with it, the Ministry of Military Affairs will come up with a plan as soon as possible! ”

The tone was almost commanding, which made everyone very uncomfortable. It's not that Hudson doesn't have enough emotional intelligence, but at this time, the honeymoon period of everyone's cooperation has come to an end.

The marshal in peacetime is himself a highly suspicious existence. With Hudson's exploits, both the king and the ministers of the court will be wary.

The more approachable the performance, the heavier the suspicion it will be. Instead of making compromises to find anger for yourself, it is better to go straight and make others angry.

The effect is very obvious, and everyone is dissatisfied and holds back first.

The canonization of meritorious officials is exactly what the kingdom expects, and whoever opposes it will stand on the opposite side of the military.

Now that the war is over, the work of transferring troops and sending generals has returned to the hands of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Knowing that Hudson was dumping the pot, the Ministry of Military Affairs had to take it over.

"That's all for today's meeting, let's implement it as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Caesar IV walked away.

The days could not be passed, and from beginning to end there was a group of ministers discussing, and they did not ask him what he meant as a king at all.

……

The Continental War ended, but the aftermath continued to ferment. The content of the armistice treaty spread, and the Terran world exploded directly.

The young Zhuang factions of various countries ran to the royal capital to petition. The rotating body of the Terran Alliance Council is even more besieged.

In the face of the overwhelming storm of public opinion, the top leaders of various countries are busy reassuring people's hearts. lest the situation get out of control and trigger a bigger political storm.

The Hessian Kingdom is the most tragic, when the royal capital fell, the high-level people lost everything, and the main war faction didn't know who to turn to if they wanted to protest.

The allied forces that want to launch a military counterattack and support them do not cooperate. The little military strength of his own family alone is not enough for the enemy to fight.

The Marquis of Simeone, who became famous, was worried at this time.

After the fall of the royal capital, he did not panic with the big nobles, but took the opportunity to integrate a large number of defeated troops, and became the most powerful faction in the country, and was regarded by the Chinese people as a savior who could turn the tide.

The reality is very embarrassing, and the little power in his hand will bully the Stone Man Kingdom. In the face of a powerful elven army, it is simply not enough to see.

Young Zhuang, I hope he can make a difference. In times of crisis for the kingdom, turn the tide and rebuild the foundation of the kingdom.

Several royal heirs in the country also rushed to him for help, hoping to succeed to the throne with his support.

"Your Royal Highness, the contents of the armistice cannot be changed.

If we don't accept it, we will have to fight the Anti-Terran Alliance alone, and neither the Sacred Realm powerhouses in the country can help us.

……”

At the beginning, the Marquis of Simeone talked about the armistice treaty, and never mentioned the re-establishment of the royal government and the establishment of a new king.

Frankly speaking, he is still very optimistic about Prince Claude's ability, so the decision is not in his hands.

At this time, if you want to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Hesse, you must not only have the support of the domestic real power, but also the support of international powers.

Before the withdrawal of the Allied troops stationed in the territory of the Kingdom of Hesse, the major affairs in Hesse could not be bypassed by these guys.

Otherwise, if a new monarch is just established here, and people will follow closely to support a new monarch to come out, then there will be no end.

At this time, the Kingdom of Hesse could not withstand the toss. If another civil war broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Prince Claude was assassinated during a trip to the Alpha Kingdom a few years ago, and waited for the opportunity to extort a sum of money from the Alpha Person, and won a lot of benefits for the Hessian Kingdom.

It was earned back then, but now it has become the biggest obstacle on his way to the throne.

After the death of his previous brother, he has become the heir to the throne, but because of this obstacle, all parties dare not support him to succeed to the throne.

Due to the influence of geopolitics, the greatest influence on the Hesse Kingdom at this time was the Alpha Kingdom, and there were even 200,000 Alpha Kingdom troops in their territory.

In order to successfully ascend to the throne, Prince Claude must first get the Arfa to be settled. Don't expect support, at least make sure they don't come out and make trouble.

"Your Excellency, Marquis, I know what you're worried about. It is imperative to rebuild the Kingdom of Hesse, and if it continues to drag on, it will only make the situation worse.

The Alpha Kingdom had just annexed the Orc Empire, and at this time it was busy digesting the results of the war, and it had no flaws to take care of the Middle Continent.

Even if they had the energy to interfere, I only had a small dispute with them, and it didn't come to the point of life or death.

If this is not the slightest bearing, the Alpha Kingdom will not be able to develop to the current height.

As long as the interests can be negotiated in the back, the unpleasantness in the front can be regarded as non-existent. ”

Prince Claude said with a sincere face.

If you don't work hard, you can't do it, and the royal family is the only seedling in his bloodline. If you don't fight for it, the throne will fall.

Dare to go to the front desk, that is he can be sure that the hatred he pulls is not deep. Being able to survive in the troubled times until now is the best proof.

"Your Highness, you are the orthodox of the kingdom, and it is right to support your ascendancy.

It's just the situation in the country, you know. There are quite a few supporters of those guys, and even if I'm on your side, it's hard to guarantee that everything will go well.

Now all you have to do is lobby the countries for support, and if you can get the approval of the Terran Alliance, then everything will fall into place! ”

The Marquis of Simeone said earnestly.

As a traditional aristocrat, he was pro-Orthodox. However, the situation of the Hessian Kingdom was special, the royal family suffered heavy losses in the war, and the power of the country fell into the hands of local princes.

Prince Claude's lack of prestige and his forcible support for the throne can easily make the local powerful faction deviate from morality. If you don't do it right, it may lead to a civil war.

If you can't solve the problem from within, you can only ask for help from the outside. As long as the Terran Alliance recognizes his status as the rightful heir, the major factions in the country have nothing to say.

"Good!

I will send people to the Terran Alliance to lobby the representatives of various countries and seek their support. ”

……

"Marshal, big things are not good!

Our troop convoy was caught in a storm at sea on the way, and hundreds of thousands of servants were all buried in the sea.

The Ministry of Military Affairs issued a strict order to investigate the cause of the accident ......"

Before Tom could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted with a wave of his hand, "I see!

These matters will be handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs to deal with.

Pass the order down and let the staff come up with measures to appease the hearts of the orcs.

Inform the nearby garrison and give me an eye on the camp of the Servants Army. In the event of an abnormality, immediately send troops to exterminate it! ”

I had long known that the Ministry of Military Affairs would attack the servant army, but I never thought that those guys would be so vicious.

Because the war ended so quickly, not all the servant troops arrived on the battlefield. As a result, these guys used the lack of garrisons on the southern front as an excuse to pack the remaining troops into ships.

originally thought that these guys were going to turn the servant army into slave laborers, but it turned out that he was still too simple, and the hands of the nobles were black, but there was no bottom line.

Encountering a storm at sea, which led to the annihilation of the troop transport fleet, is obviously nonsense.

They are all offshore sailing, and in case of storms and bad weather, they can just dock and take shelter.

Hudson prefers to believe that the guys from the Ministry of War directly transported the servant army to the sea and fed the fish.

If nothing else, similar accidents will continue to occur in the coming days. It's nothing more than a change of excuse for the next time, for example: the ghost ship is messing around.

Another example: Trek at Sea.

……

Everything is based on profit.

Starting from the long-term peace and stability of the kingdom and solving this million servant army, the difficulty of the kingdom's rule over the steppe will be greatly reduced.

While continuing to recruit young men from various tribes to draw blood, they also used their means to provoke infighting among the servant armies.

Tossing and turning a few times, this military force is completely cool. It doesn't matter if it's messed up, the kingdom's army can personally go down to suppress the "rebellion".
