Chapter 402 Raising Materials(2/2)
If there is no external force to join, perhaps in less than a year, the seven grassland kingdoms will be crippled by orcs and even destroyed.
All signs show that the mainland countries do not support them very much. The current resistance of the seven grassland countries is just to give an explanation to the alliance.
From the performance of the Principality of Omega, you can see that the nobles not only transferred their families in advance, but even took away five thousand troops in the end. How many troops were they in total?
The Principal of Shillong is also preserving its strength. Even if their kings are about to fall, they still have the most elite main legion to move outside, probably to meet the powerful and powerful breakout.
The same trick can only be used once. Orcs who have been fooled once will definitely learn from their experience and lessons, and their breakthrough is likely to not go smoothly.
The northern front is not optimistic, and the western battlefield is not much better. The performance of the Warhammer Kingdom can only be said to be better than the seven countries in the grassland.
Perhaps it won't take long before they retreated to the mountains and defended, gave up the Warhammer Plain, and let the ancient tribes gallop.
The elves are just a preview. If they also come to the scene in person, the Principality of Cantru, the Principality of Usda, and the Principality of Fic, which are close to the Elf Forest, may not last for a month.
Other countries in the Northern Continent cannot stop the elves. Perhaps in less than half a year, they will be able to break through a road to the central continent.
Of course, this is the most ideal state. If the elves are determined to go south, it is no big deal to let them go.
I am afraid that their target is to take all the Northern Continent and list us as the key target to attack us. With orcs and ancient tribes, they will be troublesome.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must show sincerity, and no matter how much the price it pays, it must fool the elves.
By looking at the battlefields across the mainland, you will know that the strength shown by the alien alliance is much stronger than everyone expected. There is no battlefield yet, and the human race has established a victory.
Among them, the support provided by the elves also plays an important role.
The heritage of the ancient overlords cannot be underestimated. They are not like the orc empire that have been cut off from the middle of the orcs. I really suspect that the elves still have old antiques at the holy realm level in their hands.
According to the records, the last strong man in our human race to break through the holy realm was three hundred years ago, and other races in the mainland were probably the same.
The lifespan of ordinary elves is more than three hundred years old, and those old antiques in the holy realm have a lifespan of thousands of years. It is impossible for them to die, right?
Heroes will appear in troubled times, and killing will create strong people. Perhaps it will not take long before a new powerful people in the holy realm will be born, but I just don’t know how many kingdoms can produce!”
Hudson couldn't help but sigh.
When studying the history of the mainland, he was surprised to find that all the mainland wars were eras when many powerful people emerged.
The more tragic the war is, the more powerful people will be born. Although many strong people fall on the battlefield, that is also the era of strong people.
I don’t know if it is a probability issue with a large base or a problem of luck. In previous wars, the number of strong people born by the human race was more than that of the alien race.
This kind of treatment has happened to the former mainland overlords, but it is not so obvious.
If there were no rumors in the kingdom, Hudson would have suspected that all the continental wars were all launched by old guys with a near life span to break through the holy realm.
"Marson, you have the final say in military affairs. We are only responsible for assisting from the side, and the information of the kingdom is open to you.
The question of the foundation of the elves has always been a mystery. There is nothing strange about a few old antiques living.
Even in the age of No Saints, our human race has four dragon knights that intimidate the four directions. Eighth-level strong men can compete with ordinary holy powerhouses.
In recent years, although the human race lacks the holy realm, the strong people with the power of the holy realm level have never been cut off.
The situation in the alien alliance is similar. Except for the orcs who were snatched away by us, several other major aliens have artifacts inherited."
Prime Minister Newfoundland explained publicly.
It is obvious that he mistakenly thought that Hudson was born in a humble manner and did not know much about the mainland secrets, so he kindly carried out popular science.
In fact, Hudson had discovered these problems long ago. Even cult organizations like Skeleton and Bones can bring out the "Blood Moon Horn" to cause trouble. There is no reason why the orc empire, as the overlord of one side, has no background.
Even if he was forced to withdraw from the prairie, he didn't take it out. It was not that the orcs didn't want to use it, but that there was no goods in their hands.
After checking the information provided by the Principality of Mosey, Hudson learned that the Orc Empire had once cut off its inheritance. Even the inheritance artifact was stolen by the human race.
The Moses had only one rough guess in which major force was in the hands of which. According to the meaning of the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, it seemed that the Kingdom of Alpha also got a share of it.
If it has not been used openly, either the artifact is restricted and the human race cannot use it; or it is because the kingdom is too close to the orcs, and I am worried that I will drive the orcs crazy.
"Don't worry about the problem of war. Now let's solve the gap in materials first!
Weapons and armors can be used in the last war, so everyone can bring them themselves. They can also prepare strategic materials such as food, cloth, arrows, and forage, but they need to be prepared uniformly by the kingdom.
It is estimated that at this time, strategic materials cannot be purchased in the international market, and even if you can buy some, the price will be beyond the kingdom's ability to bear.
If the outside world cannot count on it, then we can only find a way to raise our own efforts. Based on the current situation, the war will burn to the kingdom next year, and there is not much time left for us.
The Prime Minister urges all parties to prepare strategic materials as much as possible. This is my list of materials and must be raised before the spring next year.
The pressure is indeed a little bit greater, but the kingdom still has a lot of potential to tap. If the grain production capacity cannot be increased for a while, then think of ways from other places.
Rely on the mountains and eat on the mountains and on the water.
The coastal aristocrats have a natural advantage, they can go out to sea to catch fish. The sea has abundant aquatic products and few human destruction, which is a rare treasure land.
Concentrating the power of the kingdom and raising 200,000 tonnes of dried fish in a year is not impossible to complete as a supplement to the soldiers’ meat."
While speaking, Hudson had handed the list of supplies to the Grand Duke of Newfoundland.
The army can be trained by him, but the money and food must be prepared by the government. Although the numbers on the list are huge, they are within the scope of everyone's ability.
At one point, Hudson wanted to propose: suspend maritime trade and allow all warships and merchant ships to go out to sea to fish.
Considering the problem of offending people, we simply took roundabout measures and directly customized a fishing task for everyone.
He doesn't care about how everyone completes the task. In the absence of grain production capacity of the kingdom, dried fish has been included in the military ration system.
The mountain leaders can reserve thousands of tons of dried fish a year while meeting their own needs. There is no reason why other coastal nobles cannot do it.
If you think of the southeast coastal overlord like the Dalton family, it is not difficult to raise tens of thousands of tons of dried fish a year as long as you are willing to work hard.
What's more, he also collects aquatic products. He doesn't have enough fish, kelp, shrimp, crab and other seafood, and can also be used to recharge.
Without oil and water, these foods may not be delicious. But in the war years, being able to fill your stomach is the greatest luck, and ordinary soldiers are not qualified to be picky.
With limited resources, Hudson also tried his best to supplement the nutritional value of the soldiers.
"Marson, with such a large material gap, I'm afraid I can't get it all together for a while. Especially in the coastal provinces, there are also huge amounts of fish, this..."
Before the Grand Duke of Newfoundland refused, Hudson interrupted directly: "Master, no matter how difficult it is, you must collect all the supplies. You can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry, right?
The tasks of several coastal provinces are heavy, so they will reduce the number of troops recruited and leave the labor force to fish.
This task is only temporary, informing the nobles in the coastal areas to increase fishing efforts and reserve as much dried fish as possible.
If the future logistical pressure increases, this number is likely to continue to increase. As compensation, their serf soldiers will be the last target of recruitment for the kingdom.
If everything goes well, maybe there is no need to go to the battlefield. Others bleeding on the front line, and they can't sweat too much in the back, right?"
Just as he was about to say something, the words came to his mouth, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland swallowed it back. The reason was too sufficient for the soldiers to go to the battlefield with hunger.
No matter who is the commander-in-chief, the soldiers must be filled with their stomachs.
Hudson's request seemed harsh, but in fact, it was not enough for the kingdom's army to consume ten months after transporting the food and grass to the front line.
If the battle is fierce, it might take half a year to complete it.
Referring to the material reserves of the last war, the material targets on the list are not half of the total material reserves before the Kingdom.
It is hell mode to be able to support a larger war with such a little material.
If the total amount of materials is required to be reduced, the war will not be fought. Without stockpiling materials in advance and raising them during the war, it is impossible to meet the needs of the frontline.
The only difference is that meat accounts for a higher proportion, but mainly fish.
In the Kingdom of Alpha, fish and meat can only be considered half meat food. There is more oil and water than pig, beef and mutton, and its status among the people is far inferior to pig, cattle and sheep.
The main reason is that the time is too short. If there are a few years of preparation time, Hudson will definitely ask everyone to raise poultry.
