Chapter 542 Reciprocity(1/2)

Author: Xin Haiyue 1

"The kingdom where the chariot is located is truly worthy of its reputation!"

Prince Peter couldn't help but sigh with emotion along the way.

As the country that has experienced the most wars in the entire continent, all the organizational structures of the aggressively militarized Alpha Kingdom from the east to the east serve the war.

Year-round orc invasions have accumulated racial hatred from the east, covering up various conflicts abroad.

The scene in front of me is not a true portrayal of the Alpha Kingdom.

Whether soldiers need nutritional support during training, serf soldiers also need to fill their stomachs first before they can be effective in combat.

That requires sacrifices from the aristocratic group. If you want to exploit the serfs unscrupulously, talking about combat effectiveness is a joke.

If you want to survive on the battlefield, your private army must be able to fight; if you want your private army to be able to fight, your soldiers must be in good health.

The pressure of survival forced the aristocratic group to make changes. Although the nature of society did not change, the oppression of the serfs by the aristocrats did decrease.

More than 90% of the surplus value created by agricultural production has been consumed in the military. The life of a wealthy and luxurious aristocrat is becoming a legend in the Alpha Kingdom.

The dawn of the destruction of the Orc Empire has appeared. From the king to the ordinary nobles, everyone is holding their breath.

The hatred accumulated over hundreds of years has penetrated deep into the bones of every Alpha. The goal of the ruling group is very clear, and all the major factions are working hard to destroy the orcs.

Such high centripetal force has appeared in history books before, and it would be endlessly shocking if it fell into the eyes of the representatives of the Kingdom of Avalat.

"To the east of the hall, the Alpha Kingdom is in a special situation. If not all the people are in arms, I'm afraid they would have been destroyed by the orcs long ago.

The Kingdom has truly become powerful in recent years, after Marshal Hudson took charge of the Kingdom's army.

At present, the military reforms of various countries in the Northern and Central Continent are all guided by Marshal Hudson's military theory.

It can be summed up in six words: strong training, great logistics!”

Marquis Suarez said with a smile.

As the minister to Alpha, he had pushed for that inspection. What he saw now was enough to shock Prince Peter, and Marquis Suarez also felt a sense of accomplishment.

If the kingdom follows this example and becomes strong again, his legacy will be indispensable in history books.

"The Marquis is right. Marshal Hudson is very young and has no intention of writing a book, otherwise he would have stayed up all night reading it!"

Prince Peter said with a smile.

In the continent of Aslant, you can write books and write about it, but it will not affect the great figures of an era.

In terms of social influence, Hudson is far from reaching that level, but his military theory is special. That thing pays more attention to practicality.

Although Hudson did not write works related to military theory, it does not mean that others did not.

Among all the great nobles of the Alpha Kingdom, who doesn’t have a copy of “Ha’s Art of War”?

These are all compiled by each company based on the information they collected and their own understanding.

"To the east of the palace, Marshal Hudson is in the royal capital at the moment. After the welcome banquet, you can communicate with him in person.

There will definitely be a lot of gains by then!”

Marquis Suarez encouraged calmly.

As a foreigner, Marquis Suarez has seen a lot and traveled all over the country for so many years. He thinks that the Alpha model is the most suitable for his kingdom.

At that time, Hudson was responsible for the reception of the Alpha Kingdom. He refused his strong request in order to promote the Alpha model to the representatives of the inspection team.

Instead of continuing with those words, Prince Peter asked the doubt in his heart: "Marquis Gedong, it has been a long time since he stepped into the Kingdom of Alpha, and he has served as a nuclear eunuch.

Is that a realistic question? The proportion of free people in the Kingdom of Alpha is less than 3% of the total population, while in the Kingdom of Avalat the proportion is as high as 26%.

And that proportion is far from the highest. For example, in the Frankish Kingdom and the Iliban Kingdom, the proportion of free people exceeded 50%.

In some countries in the Southern Continent, the proportion of free citizens even exceeds 70%.

Generally speaking, the higher the proportion of free citizens in a country, the higher the local economic vitality, and accordingly more money will be invested in the military, and the stronger the military strength will be.

The theory prevailing in the Southern Continent was directly reversed in the Alpha Kingdom.

There is no in-depth study of the economic development of the Kingdom of Alpha, and Prince Peter cannot comment, but the military strength does run counter to that theory.

"Dongdong, the situation of the Kingdom of Alpha is special. Year-round wars have resulted in a high death rate among the nobles, so many descendants of the nobles who should have been reduced to civilians also have the opportunity to become nobles.

Almost all the noble children there wanted to go to the battlefield, including those distant relatives who did not have titles, and they also had to join the battle.

The constant wars from the east have resulted in a small number of nobles and free people in the Kingdom of Alpha."

Marquis Suarez explained with some hesitation.

The fact that many of the nobles and free people of the Kingdom of Alpha died in battle may indicate that their own family's situation is special, but it also implicitly reveals the struggle between various social strata for living space.

The number of nobles was large, and the descendants of nobles were many, but there were not so many titles to inherit, which led to a sudden increase in the number of free people.

The number of freedmen has skyrocketed. Because of their closer relationship with the ruling group and the higher horizons brought by their living environment, their competitiveness is definitely stronger than that of serfs.

The blacksmithing, shoemaking, and various leg industries that serfs originally worked as... were gradually replaced by free people.

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer jobs suitable for serfs, and their gradual elimination has become inevitable with the development of the times.

Logically speaking, the Kingdom of Avalat should be like other countries in the Southern Continent, with the number of free citizens growing continuously and gradually becoming the mainstream group in society.

After the proportion of people who were slapped in the face exceeded a quarter, the number stagnated. It was obvious that someone had turned civilians with personal freedom into serfs again.

It involved deep-seated social conflicts, and Marquis Suarez, who did not want to cause trouble, did not dare to say anything.

The eye-catching Prince Peter sighed secretly after realizing the truth.

The road to reform is destined to not be smooth sailing. The mess in the Kingdom of Avarat has dragged on for too long. If we want to carry out in-depth reforms, we will inevitably touch the interests of all parties.

Now that everyone supports reform, it seems that the reformists are in a good situation. Is that because the reformers have not yet taken substantive measures and have not touched the interests of the nuclear environment.

Once the reform is fully launched and the demand is cut from everyone, the situation will be completely different.



"East of Peter Hall, welcome your visit!"

In front of the palace, Hudson led a group of princes and nobles to greet him.

As for the job of receiving ministers, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. In addition to his kingdom representative, there were many representatives from the royal family.

The old prince of the Buluo royal family chose to make up for the loss and left all the reception work to Hudson.

It's a pity that Hudson is not a diligent host, so the reception ceremony was as simple as it could be.

Typos, a grand welcome, that doesn't exist. The Alpha Kingdom wants to build its reputation in the world, but it doesn't have the arrogance of spending a lot of money in those empty-headed ceremonies.

"It would be an honor for him to visit your country!

I hope that when I come there, I can have a pleasant exchange and contribute to the development of relations between the two countries..."

Prince Peter responded with a smile.



Anyway, they didn't know each other. After a few polite words, Hudson invited the delegation to the welcome banquet.

The decoration of the banquet can be considered quite satisfactory, but the standards are not very high. Caesar IV came to the scene in person, and many ministers of the kingdom also appeared at the banquet.

As for the protagonist, Prince Peter, his mind is not on the banquet at all. No matter how many delicious dishes, it is more important than not being on task.

What's more, due to limited funds, the food standards of the Alpha Kingdom are not very good. The meat of the monsters used is the hybrid offspring of artificially raised monsters and domestic animals.

There is no way, Warcraft is a strategic resource in the Alpha Kingdom.

If you capture the Warcraft now, you will have good fighting ability. If you are left behind by the local nobles, you will be sent to the Warcraft Legion.

Of course, the meat quality of wild monsters is actually not very good. When putting it on the table, people pay attention to the presentation, rather than simply pursuing the taste.

"Marshal Hudson, your country's culture is really unique!"

Prince Peter joked.

None of this is true. Compared with other countries on the mainland, the culture of the Alpha Kingdom is also unique.

In any world, alternative people are not excluded. The kingdom is eager to export politics and culture, but it actually does not want to change the incompatibility.

“A place of water and soil can nourish a person.

Diandong, you will gradually get used to it.

In fact, they are not as rigid as we imagined, for example: the banquet.

Because there are many wars, their reunion banquets are usually mixed with discussions on military and state affairs, so no noble ladies participate.

If it were not an ordinary banquet, it would actually be similar to your country, not as serious as it is now."

Hudson explained with a smile.

If you don’t want to change, then change them. That’s not the pride of a big country!

The Principality of Moxi has become Alpha, and the three countries in the Central Continent are in the process of becoming Alpha. If the Kingdom of Avalat also follows the Alpha process, then the mainstream of Aslant continent in the future may not be Alpha.

Racial conflicts cover up ideological disputes, but it does not mean that those conflicts will not exist. If one day the human race dominates the continent, those issues will become the new focus of conflicts.

"Marshal Hudson, your country's achievements in recent years have attracted the attention of the world. I have a question, and I would like to take the liberty of asking for your advice.
To be continued...
