"Since they are not old friends, father should reveal some information to them in a subtle way!

Whether the Kingdom’s Near East strategy is a high-investment, high-risk, and high-yield business, it’s up to them whether they want to participate or not.”

Hudson responded calmly.

The family's personal network also played a role in his early days of starting a business, so he should not turn his back on others.

Wherever he could, Hudson did not mind providing them with some help.

What I am saying now are all true from the bottom of my heart. When a small noble participates in the Near East strategy, he or she is simply gambling on the family fortune.

Is it because of the high risks that the port has high returns? If there is no threat from the orcs, the Near East will become a piece of fat meat. How would they have the qualifications to participate?

If small nobles and common people want to go further, they must risk their lives, which is not the essence of the world.

If we don’t go out and fight now, when the era of big mergers comes, we won’t have a chance even if we want to fight hard.

Those who have obtained fiefs in the Near East are now considered to have an advantage. Those who have not obtained fiefs can rely on other nobles and follow the past to win.

If nothing unexpected happens, the major families from the East will recruit people one after another to reserve talents for the development of the Near East, including the Koslow family.

To attract people to join a group, you must also pay attention to skills. It is best to let people come to join you on their own initiative instead of inviting people at the door.

Especially if it involves a previous human relationship, if you act too eagerly, it is easy for the wrong partner to have the illusion that he is helping me for the sake of friendship.

"Hudson, let me tell him the truth. What are the chances of winning the kingdom's Near East strategy?"

Redman asked seriously.

Will people's desires increase? In the past, he thought that all sons could get a piece of fiefdom, and expanding the family's business would be the greatest success in life.

With the sudden rise of Hudson, most of the "dream" hidden deep in his heart has been completed in a daze.

The three sons above all own fiefdoms, and the two younger sons on the east side will most likely be able to enjoy the dividends. Except for the useless Lai Su'er, their lives can be said to be complete.

However, there is no limit to the burdens encountered by Hudson. A barony has almost reached its limit. If you want to go further, you must fight for it.

Apart from Hudson, the eldest son who is currently developing the best is Fou. Because of his intensive training from an early age, Nelson strives to be better at dealing with people, so Nelson recommended him to become an official in the royal capital.

The civil service route is slow to make a fortune, but the win is safety. With the support of the family, just don't mess around, and you don't have to worry about the consequences.

The second one in the east is not good enough. The second brother is too reckless to take on a big role. The two younger ones in the east have no relationship with Hudson, so it is impossible to waste too many resources on them.

I don't think there is a chance, I guess it's hard to catch up with the second child. At least the second child's territory is not a Feng Shui treasure land specially selected by Hudson, and they won't get that kind of treatment.

Just look at the orc invasion and you will know whether the lords of Northern Xinjiang suffered heavy casualties, including five of the descendants of the Koslow family who were developing in Northern Xinjiang.

"Thirty percent!"

Hudson said a cold number without changing his face, directly dispelling Redman's fantasy.

The "30%" probability is enough to make everyone determined to make a big gamble, but if the kingdom's probability of success is not 30%, it does not mean that the noble children's probability of success is also 30%.

More and more aristocratic children poured into the Near East, exchanging their flesh and blood for the success of the kingdom's strategy in the Near East. During this process, there were several waves of aristocratic children.

From the standpoint of the kingdom, if we seek success, it is not worth paying a certain price.

But from a father's perspective, Redman didn't want to take the gamble. The risk was so high that he didn't even dare to propose to Hudson to take care of his younger brother.

With such a low probability, it's obvious how much pressure the coach is under. It would be good if he could keep the Xueyue leader, so how dare he continue to be distracted.

"When you get to the Near East, there's nothing you can't give up. If fame and status are empty, you will have your own life.

I will not deny the great nobles of the kingdom if the Near East is lost. No matter how the situation collapses and worsens, it will not affect the mountain territory for a while.

Just hope that the foundation is strong, and everything can start again. It is easy to break through hard times, and there is no need to seek victory every time!"

Redman's heartfelt words made Hudson moved but also felt helpless.

Sure enough, there are some truths that cannot be told. If the outside world knows that in the eyes of his marshal, the success rate of the Near East strategy is only 30%, everyone's enthusiasm will be extinguished immediately.

There is no way, the reality is so cruel. It is enough to deceive them with exaggerated success rates, but you must not deceive yourself too.

The orcs are not fools, so how can they watch the Kingdom's Near East strategy succeed? The orc war that is happening in the prairie is essentially a risk release.

In the history of the Orc Empire, this is not the first time that similar chaos has occurred. When all parties are tired, they will naturally come to the negotiation table.

After a few more years of buffering, the four major royal families have also regained their composure. They can then bring the newly rising royal families together to formulate new rules of the game.

I wonder if the fight is too fierce and all the clans are seriously injured, so is it completely possible for the five royal clans to become four royal clans?

Once the situation in the Orc Empire is stabilized, war will begin in the Near East.

There is no need to mobilize large armies for decisive battles. Attacks and sabotages time and time again can bring down many lords.

The city can protect the safety of its citizens, but it cannot protect the farmland, pastures, bridges, and reservoirs outside the city...

This kind of harassment can almost continue indefinitely. Even if the defense line is completed, the Near East will still be threatened by the orcs.

Ye Yi had two methods of dealing with it: Qiu Mo crippled the Orc Empire until they dared not come over to cause trouble; Qiu Mo imitated the northern provinces and built fortresses everywhere, making the city defenses look like a maze.

The criss-crossing lines of defense can serve as natural dividing zones, and blocking several traffic lanes can create a ready-made encirclement.

Obviously, the two most effective measures are not so easy to implement.

I wonder if it is possible to cripple the Orc Empire. The Kingdom does not need to build a defense line in the Near East. Hudson has already led an army to gallop on the grassland.

The Northland model is even more difficult to learn. It has so many fortresses that it took the kingdom more than three hundred years to build one after another.

"Don't worry, Lord Danger, please tell me if you're targeting the people from the east. The kingdom has been in existence for more than 300 years, and only seven coaches have been killed. He's not that unlucky!"

Hudson comforted.

The outside world has seen his infinite glory, but no one cares about the abyss behind the scenery. Only those closest to him will advise him to be careful.

If you take a step back and see the vast sky, it will be wrong for ordinary people. In just a few years, Hudson has climbed from a noble boy to his current position. There is no way out for Hudson at all.

The battlefield in the Near East is collapsing. The entire northern continent has fallen to the aliens, so there is no mountain territory.

The best choice left for Hudson was to retreat to the sea with his remaining strength and find an island to rest temporarily.

…

The Kingdom of Alpha focused on the Near East strategy and had no time to create a rebellion against the Holy See, so it could not stop the Franks.

On October 10, 99993 of the Holy Calendar, the Frankish Church announced that it would not recognize the legitimacy of the Holy See on the grounds that the Holy See was controlled by heretics, and at the same time invited representatives of the perverts from various countries to Lutetia to discuss countermeasures.

"Establishing a new Holy See" was made explicit for the first time.

The problem with religious beliefs is that once you are labeled a "heretic", there is no room for maneuver.

Since the Holy See is controlled by heretics, everyone naturally wants to unite and use thunder legs to purify the "heresies", so that the holy mountain will be clean!

The battle horn sounded, which meant that there was no room for relaxation between the two sides. Even the northern continent of Hudson felt the chill.

The Franks did not want to rebel against the Holy See themselves, but they wanted to pull everyone together to rebel against the Holy See.

Whether the two sides will fight or not, and whether one thing will happen or not, is the topic of greatest concern to the entire continent. Without waiting for countries to take sides, various undercurrents begin to surge.

From the standpoint of the human race, Hudson naturally does not want a foreign war to break out at this moment. Once the two top forces start fighting, the human race's power to suppress the alien alliance will no longer exist.

Without the pressure of the Human Alliance, the aliens would not be as quiet as they are now. Even if the war is not restarted immediately, various border frictions will be inevitable.

The situation in the Northern Continent is already very bad. If you can make some more noise, the confinement period will be even more difficult.

There is no use worrying. Hudson does not have the ability to influence the decisions of the two major forces. It is not his turn to worry about taking sides.

The Kingdom of Alpha has long been the vanguard of the anti-Vatican camp, and now it has been classified into the "anti-Vatican camp" without having to do anything.

Even if you want to switch camps, it won't work.

Even if the kingdom declares neutrality by mistake, the Holy See will probably think that they are engaged in a conspiracy and want to cause a big wave at a critical moment.

Even if he directly expresses his support for the Holy See, it is estimated that in the eyes of the top leaders of the Holy See, he will become: "That's a spy lurking here!"

Compared to the struggling human nations, the Alpha Kingdom, which took sides without having to choose, directly acted as a free-for-all.

Interference means that the kingdom is not strong enough, and if it jumps out to give instructions, it will bring humiliation to itself; in foreign war, no one can reach the two major camps.

If you can't blend it in, then just keep working hard.

In the Holy Mountain, Pius VII's gloomy face caught everyone's attention. There were rumors in the outside world that the pope he was impersonating as a demon immediately fainted on the spot after learning his identity and betraying the gang.

Obviously, all of that is not a rumor. As a strong man from the Holy Realm, how could Keke not have the mental endurance to do so?

It is not inevitable that Bu Nao will be angry. In the many years since the Holy See of Dawn has existed, this is the first time someone has declared them illegal, and the excuse used is "evil possession".

If you read the general history of the mainland, you will know that the Holy See’s favorite thing is to use “evil possession” as an excuse to send people to the barbecue grill.

It's ironic that the same crime has fallen on them.

"Why don't you shut up now? Those heretics have already openly raised their flag of rebellion. If we continue to push things further, I'm afraid they will really become heretics!"

Pius VII scolded angrily.

He knew that the Holy See was unpopular in the mainland, but he never imagined that the situation could deteriorate to that point.

"Evil possession" is clearly rubbing the Holy See's face to the ground. If it cannot be dealt with in time, the original majesty of the Holy See in the mainland may be lost.

I wonder if there will be more small churches popping up, and the people at the bottom who blindly follow them will not be able to tell which ones are genuine and which ones are not pirated.

"Bi Dong, they must immediately use thunderous legs to suppress the arrogance of the Franks. Otherwise, if it takes too long, something big will happen!"
