1312: Chapter 237, Knowing Oneself and the Enemy_3 1312: Chapter 237, Knowing Oneself and the Enemy_3 After exchanging formal greetings, Hudson returned to his seat and quietly waited for the eting to begin.
…
“Chancellor, since everyone has arrived, you shall preside over the eting!”
The words of Caesar IV did not cause any commotion at the venue.
The King not wanting to chair the eting and passing the task to the Chancellor was nothing new.
The displeasure in his tone was ignored by everyone.
Why should they care if the King was unhappy?
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
After the ceremonial response, Pri Minister Duke Newfoundland moved to the center of the great hall and slowly said, “Today, we have gathered to discuss matters concerning the Black Forest Kingdom.
There are three issues at hand:
Should the Kingdom dispatch troops?
How many troops should be sent?
Who should take command of the troops?”
“Chancellor, it is inevitable that the Kingdom will deploy troops.
There’s no need to waste ti debating this.
Let’s move directly to the other two issues!”
Marquis Delgado interjected promptly.
It was apparent that the Minister of Finance was also not in a particularly good mood.
Before the troops march, provisions must be made.
Sending aid to the Black Forest Kingdom will undoubtedly incur significant military expenses.
Richer rewards may be extracted from the Black Forest People, but that is sothing for the future.
Moreover, even if there are returns, they are mostly political, with little likelihood of reflecting positively on the finances.
As if cursed, the Alpha Kingdom is itself destitute, and the allies it finds can only be destitute as well.
Even if they are not now, they will eventually beco impoverished.
For example, the neighboring Moxi Duchy was once known for its wealth and civilization; however, after allying with the Alpha Kingdom, it quickly slid from prosperity into bankruptcy.
At least, that’s how it appears on the surface!
The finances of the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent were originally quite solid.
But now, following these tumultuous tis, becoming impoverished nations is just a matter of ti.
“If no one objects, then let us comnce with the second issue!”
Pri Minister Duke Newfoundland said with an indifferent shrug.
Suddenly, Hudson felt nurous glances directed toward him; clearly, the others were interested in his opinion.
“Judging by the information relayed from the Black Forest Kingdom, the main issue with the Rebel Army is their sheer number; their actual combat strength is quite diocre.
In terms of elite forces, the Black Forest People are still capable of suppressing the rebels, so we only need to dispatch three Standing Army units and recruit so Noble’s Private Armies.
The total force should not exceed eighty thousand!
Otherwise, logistical coordination will beco extrely troubleso.
According to the feedback from the military instructors we dispatched, the Black Forest Kingdom is struggling significantly with its logistic reforms.”
In just a few short sentences, he revealed a substantial amount of information.
Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
While the Black Forest People received military instructors dispatched by the Kingdom, they also fully exposed their strengths and weaknesses to the Kingdom.
To put it bluntly, Hudson knows the military strength of the Black Forest Kingdom even more clearly than Alexander V does.
Ministers might deceive their King, but the dispatched military instructors have no motive to lie to their own Marshal.
As bystanders, even if the military of the Black Forest Kingdom were to fall apart, no one would hold them accountable.
Helping to reform the military system is rely assistance.
If they wish to learn, let them learn; if not, it doesn’t matter, as it won’t affect their salary by a single copper coin.
With a network of frontline instructors, analysis of the Rebel Army’s strength has also been consolidated in Hudson’s hands.
Although this intelligence might be sowhat outdated, its essence remains unchanged.
The Evil God’s empowernt has its limits.
Providing power to a hundred people does not an it can do the sa for a thousand or ten thousand.
As the numbers of the Rebel Army continue to grow, the slight strength boost provided by the Evil God is increasingly inconsequential.
One must choose between quantity and quality.
The energy that the Evil God can feed back is ultimately limited.
If the Evil God could provide unlimited power output, the nurous Cult organizations on the Continent would not have spent untold years shivering in the shadows.
