Now, every family has a blood feud. Anyone who dares to speak of peace is desecrating their own honor.
"As for the tide of public opinion, figure out a solution yourselves. If it really doesn’t work, have Marshal Hudson take retaliatory action at the border.
The diplomatic offensive must be launched imdiately!
Whether it’s through bribery and persuasion, or clandestinely plotting to provoke conflict, we must drag the Frank people and Iberian people into the situation.
Pri Minister, oversee the specific affairs!"
As soon as Caesar IV finished speaking, a group of conservative officials silently lanted. The King’s counterattack had finally arrived.
Compared to the previous minor tactics, this above-board arrangent of assigning a daunting task is the true lethal move.
Doing it well is expected, but ssing up the task carries responsibility.
Unfortunately, Pri Minister Beckett cannot shirk it. His power and duty are equivalent, and these matters fall right under his jurisdiction.
Foreign affairs are usually the responsibility of the Departnt of Foreign Affairs, but the Pri Minister is the head of the governnt. In the Kingdom’s power structure, the Minister of Foreign Affairs needs to answer to the Pri Minister.
Due to the importance of this matter, the King let the Pri Minister take the lead, leaving no room for criticism.
"Your Majesty, rest assured.
Within five years, the Frank Empire and the Iberia Kingdom will certainly make a move against the Dwarf Race!"
Pri Minister Beckett decisively stated.
The task could not be shirked, but the tiline could be pushed back.
It is also a challenge for the Kingdom to create conflicts from thousands of miles away.
While provoking the flas of war, we must also remain hidden.
"Five years is too long; the dostic atmosphere of war is growing stronger, and we may not be able to suppress it.
Strive to stir up disputes between them within two years!"
It’s not that Caesar IV is intentionally being difficult; the waves of war advocacy in the Kingdom are indeed rising.
The core reason is: with batches of Tuntian Soldiers returning, the military power in the hands of various nobles is unprecedentedly strong.
The strength has beco everyone’s confidence, and Hudson’s reputation has once again reached its peak.
Even when disturbances occur on the front lines, everyone rely clamors to wage war against the Orcs. No one demands that the Kingdom investigate the truth or catch the real culprit.
In the depths of their hearts, everyone has already held the Orc Empire accountable.
This is the aftereffect of exhausting soldiers and wars.
At this mont, the Alpha Kingdom is like a runaway war cart. Its montum is so fast that the brakes could fail at any ti.
The higher-ups have long realized sothing was amiss. Even during Hudson’s military reforms, he ntioned this issue.
However, at the ti, the Kingdom was on the brink of life and death, with any slight misstep leading to national ruin.
To turn the tide from the brink and then annihilate the mortal enemy Orc Empire, no one could be bothered with aftereffects.
Many, including Caesar IV, believed Hudson was being overly cautious.
With such a powerful army, how bad could things get?
It wasn’t until the royal palace was crowded with petitioning nobles that Caesar IV realized the citizens’ zeal for war was too high, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
In fact, the real aftereffects are far more severe than this.
If not for Hudson’s high esteem, capable of restraining an army of proud soldiers, unsanctioned wars might be staged repeatedly.
The noble lords at the front could lead private armies into the Orc Empire to stir trouble, and it would be no problem for the stationed military leaders to follow suit and learn.
Thankfully, the Alpha Kingdom doesn’t have a tradition of subordinates overthrowing their superiors; otherwise, the situation would be even more chaotic.
After all, this internal war monster lacks a peace faction to balance the war faction.
The passionate young generation doesn’t consider things from the overall perspective; to them, war is simply about battle rits.
Anyone who dares to impede their pursuit of battle rits is their enemy.
The brakes can’t be applied, and Caesar IV has not considered stopping them prematurely.
All issues will be dealt with once the Orc Empire is annihilated.
Perhaps after annexing the Orc Empire, these problems will no longer exist.
