MTL - The King-Chapter 328 development meeting

   After sending away Archduke Afiero, who had initially reached an agreement, Hudson began to feel worried.

  Maxim's brain is not very good, but it is mainly due to the lack of common sense and cognition in life, which does not mean that he is really stupid.

  The method of prescribing drugs is only played once or twice at most. If there are too many times, he will definitely find problems.

  The current aphrodisiac potion is mainly aimed at giant dragons, the duration is too short, and it is not enough to complete the dragon breeding plan.

  The Kingdom wants to build the Yalong Legion, which is already lagging behind other countries. If they want to catch up in a short time, the only way is to get more female beasts to mate.

  Even if the giant dragon has strong fighting power, if it has to face hundreds of female beasts in a short period of time, it is estimated that the real dragon king will have weak legs when he comes over.

  As a member of a vested interest group, Hudson still has a strong sense of belonging to the Alpha Kingdom.

  If the Kingdom really falls behind in this round of military reforms, there is no telling how much it will cost in the future to make up for it.

  If you don’t catch up at this moment, you will be like a fool who still insists on taking the pure infantry route when cavalry is popularized on a large scale.

  With the kingdom's research and development capabilities, magic crossbow and magic crystal cannon technology, Hudson has always been skeptical about whether it can catch up to the top level of the mainland.

  Even if the technology catches up, mass production is still a big problem. Importing the core components from the Dwarf Kingdom is the deadliest flaw.

  The top powers in the mainland like the Holy See and the Frankish Kingdom, although they also need to import some parts, they can also make them themselves.

  Even though the cost of making it yourself is more expensive than buying dwarves, the production capacity is different.

   Originally, there were more alchemists in the southern countries, and their technology went further. What did the kingdom do to catch up in a short time?

  The gap is not limited to these, including the magic transformation of transport vehicles during the war, and the technology also comes from the southern powers.

  The advantages of the northern countries are only the strong folk customs, but in the extraordinary world, these advantages are really insignificant.

  Resisting the extraordinary troops of various countries with flesh and blood, anyone with a little brain knows how hard it will be.

   Shoot the first bird.

   As the emerging coach in this war, if a major foreign war breaks out in the Kingdom, especially a war where the enemy is strong and we are weak, there is a high probability that Hudson will lead the army.

   Even if you want to shirk it. The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility is not a joke. Otherwise, why would the kingdom give him such a high treatment?

   Some things are not prepared in advance. If it really happens, it will be too late to cry.

  Fortunately, the mainland is still in a period of overall balance. The existence of foreign races restricts the internal struggle of the human race. The major forces have no intention of starting a war for the time being.

  The brainwashing work against the Red Dragon must begin. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing when the kingdom had all the female beasts and he hadn't dealt with Maxim.

  Hudson never doubted the military sensitivity of the nobles of the kingdom. As long as the royal family takes the lead, all parties will definitely choose to cooperate.

  The joint-stock country is like this, where money gives money, and where there are beasts, beasts. In addition to the share of the kingdom's standing army, everyone will also get a share of the cultivated monster mounts.

  As for running the Warcraft Legion alone, it's not that Hudson looks down on people, but because of the strength of the kingdom's major families, no one really has the confidence.

  Of course, the aristocrat's network of relationships is intricate, and it is not ruled out that someone can obtain a World of Warcraft mount from abroad.

   It's just that the probability of this is very small, at least at this stage it is difficult for a large number of war beasts to flow out. Even if it can be obtained, the price to be paid will not be smaller than supporting the kingdom itself.

  …

  On the holy mountain, Pius VII was looking at the newly released map of the mainland with anxiety. This wave provoked the invasion of orcs, and the Holy See suffered a blood loss.

  Alfa Kingdom was indeed hit hard, but it was still far from the expected decline.

   "Didn't you say that you have succeeded? Why is Caesar III still alive after so long? Could it be that your plan is to let him live until the end of his life?"

   Pius VII asked angrily.

  As long as Caesar III is alive, the plan against the Alpha Kingdom cannot be implemented. No matter how much internal conflicts are provoked, it is useless. There is no chaos at all if there is a backbone.

  The original partner, the orc was beaten to death, struggling to survive in the crevice. The northern aristocrats who placed high hopes on the Cholera Alpha Kingdom wanted to kill themselves, and the Holy See didn't know where to start if they wanted to help.

   Now that the war is over, the situation in the Alpha Kingdom has stabilized, and Caesar III is still alive and well.

  If this situation continues, it may take a few years before he can get out of his weakness.

   At that time, this staunch anti-Holy See kingdom will most likely come out to make trouble again. In the eyes of Pius VII, Charles III and Caesar III were the biggest heretics in the whole continent.

   But these two heretics are not easy to deal with, even the Holy See does not dare to take action against them easily.

   "Your Majesty, the situation may have changed. The Alpha Kingdom is a big country after all, and it still has some heritage. It is also normal to have some treasures that prolong life.

  Caesar III is still alive for the time being, but his body is already broken. Relying on some treasures to extend life span also has its limit.

   Perhaps in two or three years, he will be able to hear the news of his death.

  In a sense, it’s good to procrastinate like this. If Caesar III died too quickly, everyone would link his death with the assassination case.

   At that time, all major forces in the mainland will do their best to investigate. Although we have done a covert job and arranged multiple scapegoats, we still cannot guarantee that it will be foolproof.

   After all, some heretics still have a certain ability to predict the past and future. Paying a certain price, it is still possible to track us down! "

   Ulise hastily explained.

   Received the credit for assassinating Caesar III, and had to bear the consequences. No matter how nonsense the reason is, he will make arrangements for it.

   As for whether Caesar III will die after two or three years, we will discuss it later. Anyway, the longer the delay, the more difficult it is to verify.

   It was originally a task that was forcibly forced, but deep down in his heart, Ulises was extremely resistant. If he really left a loophole, he would 100% become a scapegoat.

  "Leaving aside the issue of Caesar III, what about the issue of the great magister of the undead?

  Your holy hands keep saying that the Earl of Hudson is pretending to be a great undead magister, but the reality is that he has no problem at all.

  Because of this incident, we couldn't hold our heads up in the coalition forces, so we had to give up the dominance to the Franks! "

  Blake asked angrily.

  Because he believed what the intelligence organization said, in order to attack the Alpha Kingdom that day, he confidently revealed the matter of the great magister of the undead.

  I thought that the Alpha Kingdom would be ashamed in front of the coalition forces, but I never thought that the clown would be me in the end.

  But when he raised this question at this moment, Blake really didn't add insult to injury, but seemed to be helping Ulisse out of a siege.

  Compared to Caesar III's delay in meeting the Lord of Dawn, the small intelligence error is not worth mentioning at all.

   "Captain Blake, there may be another story behind this incident. The people we sent that day saw it with their own eyes: Hudson released undead magic, and it was instant.

   Judging from the strength of magic, only the great magister of the undead can do it.

   If you can’t check it out in the coalition forces, it can only mean that you met the Earl of Hudson himself, and the last time we dealt with us was a great undead magister.

  I suggest increasing the monitoring level of Hudson, and dig out the undead magister hidden behind the scenes as soon as possible, maybe there are other blasphemous organizations hidden in it! "

  Ulisse explained with serious political discourse.

  In short, there is only one core: everyone is fine, the problem is that the enemy is too cunning.

  It's a pity that the skill of throwing the pot is so good, no matter how slippery he is, he can't hide it from Pius VII above.

   It’s all left over from his playing tricks. If he believes so easily, how can he be the Pope?

"Humph!"

   "Since you are all right, it is my fault. It is right to keep you in the holy mountain for the elderly, and you should not be arranged to go out to perform missions!"

  As soon as the Pope's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

  The faces of Blake and Ulisse were even more gloomy and terrifying. It is really wrong to screw things up and blame the enemy, but they have no choice!

  In the world of adults, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons. There are many things that you can only bite the bullet and do even if you know it shouldn't be done.

   "Your Majesty, heresy organizations have been really rampant in recent years. In Frank, Iberia... these big countries, they even dare to show their faces publicly.

   It is said that the heretic Charles III is in contact with them, planning to form an arcane academy and invite these guys to give lectures.

  Once their plan succeeds, the achievements of the ancestors' painstaking efforts for thousands of years will be destroyed! "

  Facts have proved that it is still necessary to change the topic of Dafa at the critical moment. Compared with the forthcoming Arcane Academy, the previous ones can only be regarded as pediatrics.

  As soon as Bishop Sauron's words came out, Pius VII couldn't care less about continuing to curse. If the truth-seeking Arcane Academy really appeared, the impact on theocracy can be imagined.

  The necromancers, wizards, arcanists, fortune tellers who have been hunted down by them for many years... will all revive and become active on the mainland again.

  …

  The mountainous territory, after completing the personnel adjustment, the first high-level meeting of the territory also quietly kicked off.

  As a good leader, Hudson will naturally not make any distinctions. The "important ministers" who were sent abroad were also called back to participate in the meeting, and jointly offered advice and suggestions for the development of the territory.

   "The main purpose of calling everyone here this time is to discuss the future development of the Earldom.

   Everyone is an important manager of the territory. Before formulating a development plan, I want to hear your opinions. "

  After hearing Hudson's words, everyone looked a little excited.

  Eligible to participate in the formulation of the future development plan of the territory, undoubtedly entered the core decision-making level of the territory, which obviously regarded them as "our own people".

   Hudson was also very helpless to make such a decision. Winning people's hearts is second, the key is to develop the territory now, he must rely heavily on the people present.

  As for the issue of loyalty, as long as they can serve the territory now and don’t betray immediately, then let’s count them as loyal ministers.

  Even if some information is passed on occasionally, Hudson can turn a blind eye and close one eye.

  The development route of the territory is too obvious, and it cannot be hidden from the experienced old fox at all. It is doomed not to keep it secret, so simply keep it secret.

  The original mountain collar was a flat boat, but now the mountain collar is a luxury ship. Also sailing in the sea, the ability to resist risks has been greatly improved.

   Hudson can still withstand a little wind and waves. Even if the outside world knew about his development plan, it would be difficult to do anything.

   "Your Excellency, our territory is too scattered. To formulate a reasonable development plan, it can only be carried out according to the actual situation of each region.

  Considering the limited resources of the territory, it is impossible to take into account multiple aspects. The best option is to exchange land with nearby lords and gather the fiefdoms together as much as possible. "

  Andrea first proposed.

  As the head of the original intelligence organization, after a new round of personnel adjustments, Hudson was appointed as the lord of Xueyue City.

   It seems to be reused, but it is also far away from the center of power. But he can't say anything yet. After all, the intelligence organization is in his hands. It can only be said that the basic structure has been completed, and it is not efficient at all.

  Information is all effective, and if it cannot be obtained immediately, it will lose its due meaning.

   It is not Andrea's responsibility that the development of the intelligence organization lags behind. After all, it is not a matter of overnight if you want to install spies.

  The most important thing is that Hudson does not have so many talents in his hands, so he uses them for intelligence. Most of the people sent out to collect intelligence are not very capable of management.

   Compared with the spies placed by other nobles in the territory, they are not at the same level at all.

   Not to mention entering the decision-making level of others, there are very few people who can sneak into the camp of the old and big aristocrats.

  Most of the time, their task is just to collect major developments in various places. It's all news on the surface, and more in-depth information, that's something I dare not even think about.

  If there is no result that can be presented, naturally there is no right to speak. It is already considered lucky to be able to get a high position outside.

  But no matter how good Xueyue City is, it can't change the fact that it is far away from the Lord's Mansion. And it's not so far away, directly out of the southeast province.

   There is no way, one radish and one pit. Although most of Hudson's territory is in the southeastern province, there are still a few enclaves that have left the province.

   It's always difficult to mix outsiders. If it weren't for his limelight, he might have been attacked by various conspiracies.

  Being able to complete the territory handover smoothly is because the local snakes are afraid that he will run over secretly to beat Sap. Similar things happen from time to time in the aristocratic world.

   Seeing that a certain nobleman is unhappy, or has an enmity with a certain nobleman, he will lead someone to beat him up in private.

  As long as no one is killed, even if someone finds out and takes revenge, at worst, he will be beaten back again.

  The methods are indeed a bit out of date, but this is also part of the noble struggle. As the saying goes, the more high-end the fight, the more unpretentious the means.

   "Well, I have already made arrangements for this matter, but the coordination cycle may be relatively long. In a short time, everyone still needs to develop the territory well.

  Even if it is a territory replacement, the value of a prosperous territory and a depressed territory is not the same.

  What we need now is to formulate a short-term development plan. The time period can be determined according to the actual situation of each region, and there is no need to pursue synchronization across regions.

   There are only two prerequisites, namely:

  1. For enclaves far away from mountainous territories, strive to develop the territory in the shortest possible time; the core area of ​​the territory pursues long-term development;

  Second, control budget input. The plan must be carried out according to the actual situation in each place, and cannot be divorced from the reality, and the funds invested should not be too much. "

   Hudson said frankly.

  The fact that he wants to replace the fief is not a secret in the kingdom at all, and naturally there is no need to conceal it.

   It's all part of the dragon planting plan deal, and the following political public relations are just a formality.

  If the main nobles in the kingdom do not object, the rest will not be able to make waves. What really needs communication and coordination is the parties involved in the land exchange.

   This is not a big problem, as long as they take advantage of a small advantage when changing land, and then subsidize everyone for a moving fee, the matter is basically solved.
