Chapter 302 Post-War Era
"Let's wait for the opportunity to see it again!
Your Excellency, orcs are not soft persimmons. Don't look at how fast the coalition forces are advancing now, if it's really our people, I'm afraid it will be another situation!
The enemy has become frightened, and it is impossible to let them be careless and divide their troops at will. "
Hudson declined.
It is easy to create combat opportunities, but the problem is that as far as the remnants of the Holliser family are concerned, a Beamon cavalry regiment can wipe them out.
Including members of the Koslow family, he did not deliberately arrange the task of earning military exploits. Not only because Hudson needs to be fair and strict, but also because he cannot afford unexpected losses.
Opportunities are reserved for those with strength.
"That's all!
I am too greedy.
Hudson, just pretend I didn't say anything. The current Holliser family can no longer stand the toss. If they lose the last family property in their hands, no matter how great the military exploits are, it will be useless! "
Viscount Oran said with lingering fear.
After calming down, he realized how dangerous his thoughts were. If you go to the battlefield when your strength is weak, no matter how good the fighter is, you will not be able to grasp it.
Just like Hudson's strategy of "using beasts to control beasts and splitting the orc empire", it was clearly planned by himself, but in the end he shared it with the coalition forces.
It’s not that they don’t want to eat alone, it’s because the kingdom’s army has a limited stomach and cannot swallow this cake.
If Hudson was appointed as the coach before the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, there would be nothing wrong with the coalition forces.
A piece of military exploits that can become the "Marshal of the Human Race", let it go out as soon as it is said, and this unequal determination made the Viscount Oran admire him.
"Your Excellency, the Viscount, don't worry too much. Now the situation faced by each family is similar, and the Holliser family is not at a disadvantage.
What determines the distribution of benefits after the war is essentially no longer on the battlefield, but more on the upcoming political game.
The assassination case put the dispute in the capital on the table. Those big nobles involved are the ones His Majesty will suppress next.
Especially the five major families of the Northern Lands, who already had grievances with the royal family, but now that new and old grudges are added together, His Majesty will never spare them.
If the Holliser family is willing to give up their current foundation and come to northern Xinjiang, obtain the fiefdoms of several counties, and take charge of the power of a province, it will be no problem at all.
However, benefits and risks are directly proportional. Even without the threat of orcs, the conditions in the northern border area were not as good as those in the southeastern province.
To develop these lands, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources required are astronomical.
To tell you the truth, the Koslow family decided to stay in the southeastern province. After the war, at most, they would only try to get back the ancestral land from the Lochnard family. Even if the other areas of northern Xinjiang were given to me, the Koslow family would not be able to develop them! "
Hudson analyzed rationally.
No matter what choice the Holliser family makes, he will support it, but the Koslow family will not go north.
Compared to going to the north to start over, he would rather stay in the southeastern province and fight with the Dalton family. It's not that Hudson has no ambitions, it's that the family background is too shallow.
The core factor is population.
Even if all the branches of the Koslow family are evacuated and all the connections that can be used are used, at most hundreds of thousands of people can be gathered.
With such a small population, the land of a county can be settled. Even if it is a little bit reluctant, at most it will eat the land of two or three counties.
The cost of moving these people there alone can bankrupt Hudson. Instead of rushing forward blindly, he might as well nest in the mountainous area and smash into the swamp behind him.
At the very least, the mountainous territories are earning money. Even if the war is over, the annual income is not low. With a little effort, you can make ends meet and embark on a positive cycle of developing the territory with the income from the territory.
"Hudson, I'm afraid your plan will be difficult to achieve. The ancestral land of the Koslow family is in the hands of the Lochnard family, and they will not hand it over as a last resort.
The five major families in the Northland are united in the same spirit, and their situations are all similar, so they will not see such precedents appear.
The Dalton family will also try their best to send you to the Northland. With their influence among the nobles in the southeastern provinces, most of the nobles in the seven southeastern provinces will support them politically.
You rise too fast, beyond the capacity of all parties. After the war, they will inevitably find ways to limit your development.
This is because you made a decisive move before and made most of the nobles in the kingdom owe favors. Otherwise, what the Koslow family is facing is not restricting development, but suppression from all sides.
The situation of the Holliser family is not much better. Although we used to be old aristocrats, there are not many who are willing to see us go back to the old relationship.
Even if we have been in business for countless years, we can only keep most of the great nobles in the kingdom neutral. Politically, it's hard to support you. "
Viscount Oran replied with a wry smile.
If the Koslow family is willing to go to the Northland, then the Holliser Family can also recruit several other middle-level nobles in the kingdom to form a group to build a foundation in the Northland.
Without Hudson as a powerful thug, even if they teamed up with several other families, the Holliser family could not compete with the five major families in the Northland.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, judging from the current situation, it will take several years at the earliest for the Dalton family to restore their peak military strength.
If other factors are considered, the recovery period will be longer. Before that, they were just giving me political trouble.
It’s a big deal. After the war, I will go back and concentrate on managing the fief, and will not participate in the disputes of the court. Anyway, they dare not provoke a military conflict! "
Hudson said confidently.
The halo of famous generals is used at this time. A name alone can deter many enemies.
Without full confidence, he had to be careful when playing outside the game, lest he, the "young and vigorous famous general", be irritated, and directly overturn the table and drag the Dalton family to die together.
"As long as you know what's in your mind!"
Viscount Oran said enviously.
Has the strength to pull the Dalton family to the end. No matter how bad the situation is, it can't get worse.
Large families can pass on through the ages, and what they compete for is long-term, and they rarely act on their own will. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not easily overturn the table and gamble the entire family's wealth and lives.
…
As the situation on the battlefield worsened, the five royal families of the orcs also accelerated their pace of retreat. In a hurry, they don't even care about the health of the elderly, women and children.
Many tribes experienced a large number of attrition during the evacuation. Even though the priests tried their best to treat them, they still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.
After chasing and fleeing, the battle line was quickly pulled to the edge of the orc prairie. At this moment, the five royal families of orcs have retreated to the Nicholas Plateau in the north and the Salar Hills in the west.
The internal contradictions that were originally covered up gradually intensified. The barren west and north cannot afford so many orcs.
Without many orc races to exploit, not only did the orc nobles lose their luxurious life in the past, but even the daily supplies of many small and medium-sized tribes became difficult.
Opposition to evacuation, calls to fight out to regain lost ground, are also rising in the Orc Empire, causing the five emperors a headache.
What's worse is the consumption of materials while sitting on the mountain. Just experienced a big migration, many tribes are divided into raw land, it is difficult to have a large output in a short period of time.
There are also many loopholes in the organization. Many farming tribes were classified into plateaus that were not suitable for agricultural planting; some nomadic tribes were also classified into mountainous areas that were not suitable for large-scale grazing.
The officials sent by the imperial court are either wrangling with the tribes below, or on the way to wrangling.
Because of the problem of material distribution, many tribes even fought. Even if it was forcibly suppressed, the seeds of hatred were planted.
"The situation is a bit bad, and our prior estimates were insufficient. The land in the western and northern regions is barren, and it is difficult to feed too many people. The clansmen are now complaining and complaining.
If this situation continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it later! "
The Lion King said with a depressed face.
As the family with the best preserved strength among the five royal families, the lion clan has retained the largest core population, and also encountered the greatest trouble.
Even if a large enough land is allocated, it is difficult to meet the actual needs now. In order to ensure supplies, they have even started hunting other orc races.
"Lion King, don't worry too much. This kind of hard life won't last for too long.
We are under a lot of pressure now, and the pressure from the Terran Alliance is equally high. Opening the map, one can see that it is thousands of miles away from Fengyue Port to here.
If the transfer of materials from the rear is added, the daily consumption of materials by the human race is also an extremely huge number.
An ordinary human soldier fighting on the front line must invest at least five times the manpower to transport supplies in the rear.
According to the collected information, the current main source of military expenditure for the Terran Allied Forces is still provided by the Alpha Kingdom.
To maintain the consumption of millions of troops on the front line, the daily expenses are astronomical. I don't think Alpha Kingdom's financial resources can last for a long time.
The military subsidy of the Terran Allied Forces to the army has been increased to 20%. If the war continues, this ratio will continue to climb.
There are only a few human nations in the North that have blood feuds with us. Most of the human race countries participated in this war only because of racial interests.
The Alpha Kingdom will bear the military expenses in the front, they are just helping the scene, so there is no big problem. Now it's my turn to pay for it, and I have more ideas.
Next, we only need to beat the human coalition forces to make them realize that we are not easy to bully, and this war should be over.
Of course, we must also grasp the degree of it. It is necessary to make the human race feel pain, but not to stimulate the glassy heart of their mainland overlord! "
Alex said pretending to be calm.
Because of the sparse population, compared to the other four royal families, the logistics pressure of the Beamon family has become the smallest.
Because the evacuation was completed first, the seized land was basically good, and most of the clansmen were properly resettled.
However, less material pressure does not mean that Alex has less mental pressure. As Emperor Bimon, he hasn't had a few days of comfortable life since he succeeded to the throne.
Deep in his heart, apart from scolding his dead father, he was worried about the future fate of the Beamon family.
He said it easily, but deep down he knew very well that it was easy to give up the orc prairie, but it was not easy to get it back.
The human race can organize a coalition once, and then they can organize a second time. The newly occupied orc prairie is the face of the continent's overlord.
Maybe the future can be slowly abandoned, but in a short period of time, the human race must be held in the hands to prove the achievements of the contemporary monarchs to the human race.
The overlord's face + the monarch's personal name before and after his life. Anyone who dares to touch this taboo will be severely beaten.
"Emperor Bimon, your thinking is too simple. If you want to hurt the human coalition forces, and you can't sweep the face of the human race, how can you fight this battle?
Don't forget, the Terran coalition forces now have the upper hand. Even if we pull the battle line to the current position, we are still at a disadvantage.
If you want to reverse the situation, you have to put them in first, find a way to dismantle them, and then use the terrain to slowly consume them!
Damn the Holy See of Dawn, since we declared responsibility for the Assassin case, they have cut off contact with us, and their previous promises may not be able to be fulfilled.
The only thing that can support us is the joint pressure of all ethnic groups on the mainland. It's a pity that the dragon we bought was unreliable, and was seen through by the human race early on. "
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said angrily.
The allies are unreliable, and the orc empire, fighting alone, has reached the time of life and death.
The defection of a large number of cannon fodder has put a strain on the strength of the five royal families. The drudgery that was originally undertaken by the cannon fodder race can only be done by their own people now.
The orc race, which has always been oppressed, has become the vanguard to attack them under the dual drive of hatred and interests.
"That dragon is still of some value, he offered to help contact the Shanghai people if he could add more money.
However, we still have to rely on ourselves if we want to get the help of the Sea Clan and cut off the sea transportation line of the Human Clan. "
Yingren Emperor said solemnly.
It is not difficult to find the Sea Clan, but the question is, why should the Sea Clan help them?
Creatures in the sea, except for a few amphibians, are not suitable for survival on land. Even if they can occupy the entire Aslant continent, it doesn't mean much to them.
In the past, the Sea Clan invaded the mainland, mostly because of their beliefs. Now that the gods are not manifesting their holiness, and there is no order from the oracle, everyone will naturally not be full and looking for excitement.
Interest stimulus?
Giving the entire continent to others may not necessarily be interested in them. After all, if you swim well in the water, no fish or shrimp wants to become a salted fish or a salted shrimp.
Occasionally, there are local conflicts with the mainland races, which are revenge caused by provoking the nearby sea tribes.
