Chapter 318 The game after the war(1/2)
Chapter 318 The post-war game
Time passed day by day, and it was March in a flash.
It is certain that the orc empire cannot be squeezed out, and the threat of the plague is becoming increasingly severe, so the human race alliance has to give up the claim for compensation.
With the mediation of all ethnic groups on the mainland, on March 13, 99990, the representatives of the coalition forces and the Orcs officially signed a truce treaty.
The content is very simple: both sides use the actual control area as the dividing line, and from the date of the signing of the treaty, both sides will stop all acts of war.
There is no war reparation, no punishment of war criminals, and even no clear conclusion on who is the justice side in the war.
I can only say that this treaty is very much in the Aslant continent. Racial wars are all fighting for the living space of their respective races, and there is no distinction between justice and evil.
As a witness of history, Hudson has been a spectator role from beginning to end.
Everything comes from strength. Orcs suffer losses in the armistice treaty, which is the price of defeat.
The orc prairie belongs to the human race, and the mountains and wastelands occupied by the coalition forces are now assigned to the orc races that have defected to the human race.
Everything was clearly arranged by the coalition forces. The Orc Empire could only accept it with its nose. It would be better to have an extra group of orcs to act as strategic buffer than to have a strong man directly bordering the human race.
Theoretically, as long as there is no major change in the future, the orc empire can continue. After all, the human race will not be interested in the bad land they occupy now.
With the signing of the treaty, the alliance became lively. Related to the distribution of spoils, all parties started a quarrel mode again.
The more you look down on the Orcs' prairie, the more fierce the fight is now. There is no doubt that the nobles are just a group of people who are right and wrong.
However, all of this has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Alpha. Fortunately, the boundary line was moved out for hundreds of miles before, otherwise there would be no gain at all.
Everyone was busy sharing the spoils, but Hudson, the logistics manager, was in a hurry to drive people away.
The war was over, and the subsequent strategic materials naturally no longer existed. Every day the coalition forces stayed on the front line, they were eating stocks.
Hudson didn't care about his own interests and was quarreling with all parties.
At the coalition command meeting, Hudson officially submitted his resignation. Before that, he had completed the final distribution of strategic materials.
Judging from the accounts, all the logistics supplies of the coalition forces have been distributed, and the responsibilities of his logistics manager have come to an end.
Retention does not exist. Everyone is busy fighting for profits, and even the withdrawal of troops from the Alpha Kingdom did not cause any trouble.
Hudson didn't know how to deal with the subsequent problems. The main reason was that the area of the Orc Prairie was too vast, more than the sum of the three Alpha kingdoms.
Once such a vast land is developed, it will be the foundation of an emperor.
With such a big cake and so many human forces participating in the sharing of the spoils, it is obviously impossible to just eat it up. The future grassland pattern will definitely be very lively.
Leading the army back to China, Hudson's position as the head coach was also at the forefront. Without anyone coming to hint, he took the initiative to submit his resignation.
However, many things went against their wishes. The more he wanted to resign, the more Caesar III was suppressed.
It is not because of his importance to his ability, but mainly because no coach is in front of him. In the future, the finger will be directly pointed at the king.
Every day, when we are mixed up, all parties are quarreling endlessly about the distribution of interests. When it comes to personal interests, it will not work if anyone comes.
...
"Hiss Viscount, are you really ready to move north?"
Hudson asked in disbelief.
As the second family in the southeastern province, the Holliser family's foundations are all in the south. According to the previous plan, they also expanded to the Fengyun province. Unexpectedly, they chose to move north in a blink of an eye.
Theoretically, the north has the greatest chance at present. With the severe blow of the northern nobles, even the local snakes that hinder their development to the north are no longer there.
But all of this is theoretical. The newly recovered provinces in northern Xinjiang are all unmanned areas.
It is indeed difficult to enter the company, but the manpower, material resources and financial resources required to develop these areas are astronomical.
Anyway, the Koslow family did not have this strength. Even if Hudson made a lot of money in the war, he still could not afford the huge development cost.
As a veteran noble in the kingdom, the foundation of the Holliser family is far from comparable to that of nouveau riche like the Koslo family.
Once the strategic center of gravity is decided to move northward, the gap in manpower should be solved quickly. As for whether financial and material resources can be sustained, it is not something Hudson can know.
"Hudson, the family had to make this decision.
The noble forces of the entire Southeast Province suffered heavy blows in this war. According to the original plan, the Holliser family had no chance of winning.
There is a huge gap between the middle and the great nobles. Once you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will wait for the next time.
The Holliser family can’t afford to wait, so I can’t afford to wait. Apart from choosing the northern border with relatively weak competition, we have no better choice at all!”
While speaking, Viscount Oran looked at Hudson with envy. As the largest nouveau riche in this war, the Koslow family already possessed the strength of the Dalton family, and there was no need to move.
It just so happened that a large number of nobles died in the southeastern province, making room for the development of the Koslo family.
As the commander of the army, Hudson still has a lot of conveniences. At least he has priority when choosing a fief.
With the current military strength of the Koslo family, they rely entirely on constantly gathering scattered fiefs, and they are divided into the southeastern provinces with the Dalton family.
Of course, when it comes to specific operations, fiefdom replacement is bound to be necessary.
Although these operations are not allowed in theory, as the commander of the army, as long as they are not too overdoing, the king will probably still give him some face.
Thinking of Hudson's favor in the aristocratic circle in the province, Viscount Oran understood his plan in an instant.
The existence of favor debts undoubtedly creates favorable conditions for the subsequent replacement and integration of fiefdoms.
Even if the small and medium-sized nobles in the province don’t want to see the growth of the Koslo family, they cannot come out to object due to the existence of favors.
The only obstacle was probably the Dalton family and the King. With his understanding of Caesar III, even if the King opposed it, he would not end up in person.
After all, Hudson still has value to the royal family. Faced with the chaotic distribution of interests in the country, the king still needs Hudson to reconcile conflicts among all parties.
Just the Dalton family, even if they stand up to oppose it, it will not hinder Hudson's determination.
Thinking of this, Viscount Oran became more and more determined to make his choice. The Southeast Province has entered a confrontation between the two strongest people, and where is there room for the development of the Holliser family?
The original second family in the province has now been directly demoted to the third family. If you don’t leave on your own initiative, you will be a tragedy until the future boss fights with the second brother and accidentally kills the third brother.
"Your Excellency Viscount, you can rest assured that after the strategic center of the Holliser family moves northward, your foundation in Qiaomu County will not be affected.
In case of failure in operation of the Northland, Qiaomu County can be your retreat. However, this matter is very important, I suggest you consider it carefully.
The competition in Fengyun Province is indeed fierce now, but if the Holliser family is willing to give it a try, there is still a third of the chance."
All are the truth. If Hudson was in Viscount Oran's position, he would not be able to make the decision to move the strategic center of gravity northward.
Although the competition among the provinces of the storm is fierce, the benefits are also great! A province with mature development is far more valuable than a natural land.
Even if you are unable to seize control of the province and grab land in a county or half of the county, it is a good choice.
It can only be said that the Holliser family has too much appetite. If they want to step into the threshold of the great nobles in one fell swoop, they can no longer satisfy their appetite.
This kind of thing can only be made by yourself. As an ally, Hudson can only do support.
"Hudson, I'll ask you next. We will find ways to coordinate the relationships in all aspects, but the king's capital still needs help to speak."
Viscount Oran said with a serious face.
Without discussing specific goals, it was obvious that the Holliser family had no confidence in winning this action. In order to increase the success rate, they simply started to cast a wide net.
This is also a good thing for Hudson. If the target that the Holliser family is interested in and encounters other nobles, it will be a problem.
Like now, although there may be a situation where several middle-class nobles jointly dominate a province, it also avoids the tragedy of failure in crashes and being directly eliminated.
In the end, I still lack strength. No matter how profound the foundation is, it will take a long process to convert it into the strength at hand.
From this perspective, Earl Pierce also did a good thing. If he hadn't brought a group of nobles in the southeastern province into the gutter, the Holliser family would never have been so straightforward and neat.
Everyone will huddle together to develop, and no matter how good the relationship between them is, they will turn against each other sooner or later.
The Holliser family's voluntary departure is also a good thing for Hudson. This means that the two families will not become enemies due to strategic conflicts.
"Don't worry, you must have a fief of yours in the north, with an area that is only much greater than Qiaomu County!"
Hudson promised generously.
As the commander of the army, he still has a lot of say in the division of fiefs.
The Holliser family wanted to become a great nobleman, but it was not difficult for them to enter the North to get a share of the pie.
Next, it depends on their respective developments. Whoever has the best development and stands out from the competitors first, and whoever can cross the threshold of the great nobles.
The game involved behind this is not only within the kingdom, but also outside the kingdom.
As far as Hudson knows, many of the great nobles in the Alpha Kingdom, their ancestors all came from countries in the southern and central parts of the mainland.
As time goes by, this relationship has become very weak, but this relationship has been further promoted as the major human forces divide the orc prairie.
After all, the next step to develop the Orc Prairie is to get the support of the neighbor of the Alpha Kingdom.
If you have connections, you must naturally connect them. No matter how far this relationship is, it will still be a bit incense.
Hudson himself felt it. The Koslow family extended to the branches abroad, and someone came to visit him to contact him.
Unfortunately, these branches are the same as the branches in China, and they are not very good at doing so. Even if their forces have divided a big cake, they can get only the Baron Corner or the Knight Corner.
When I came over to contact each other, I was essentially looking for support. Within the scope of authority, Hudson provided them with many conveniences.
Even the little Koslo family is like this, let alone other great nobles in the kingdom.
In the next major reshuffle, whether the Holliser family can stand out depends not only on the efforts of Viscounts Oran, but also on their own support.
