Chapter 990 - 990 124 Partition Plan_2

990: Chapter 124: Partition Plan_2 990: Chapter 124: Partition Plan_2 The internal composition was too complex, which directly led to the lack of unity in their interests.

Most groups were only focused on their own little patch of land and seldom considered nationwide issues.

Hudson had tested these groups, and apart from a very few organizations that considered the future of the Warhammer Kingdom, the rest hadn’t thought that much.

Many even naively believed that as long as they sent gifts to Master Hudson, their future status would be secured.

Taking money to get things done was never a bad reputation in noble circles, everyone feared not getting things done after taking money.

Moreover, the money wasn’t just for Hudson himself, but for the entire Expeditionary Army.

Most of the loot plundered by the Ancient Heritage Alliance in the Warhammer Kingdom was left in various strongholds across the lands; the Expeditionary Army didn’t have the time to clean up one by one and had to sell it cheap to the resistance armaments.

The hardest and most exhausting battles were fought by the Expeditionary Army, yet the richest spoils of war ended up in the hands of the various resistance forces, which was obviously unreasonable.

Even if it was land, the officers and soldiers of the Expeditionary Army found it inconvenient to reach out, but everyone definitely wanted a share of the movable wealth!

In name, it was a gift, but in reality, it was a division of the spoils.

Those who knew a bit about the ways of the world knew to prepare a generous gift when they came.

Those who didn’t realize this simply had no future.

Without a proof of military service issued by the Allied Command, their efforts were equivalent to wasted.

The new regime of the future would only recognize verifiable military achievements, not those self-reported.

Unless they could present more advantageous evidence, such as the heads of enemy commanders.

In fact, for a group, the military merit converted from enemy heads only seemed impressive, but once divided, it became insignificant.

Rather, it was the military achievements made in major battles that affected the fate of the Kingdom and the Human Race, and which had made a certain contribution that could cover a larger number of members.

No matter where, you can’t escape the nature of more people, more troubles.

For their respective political purposes, just as the battle had just ended, various factions sought out Hudson.

The Exile Faction wanted to deny the military achievements of the resistance forces or at least not make a public stance in this regard; the resistance forces hoped that he would reward them on the basis of their contributions in advance, delineating territories before the new government was established.

Both parties made generous offerings, even promising that after success, Hudson could acquire a province from the Warhammer Kingdom as his fiefdom, and two provinces were up for negotiation.

If not for his sanity remaining, Hudson might have agreed.

Against the backdrop of a power vacuum in the Warhammer Kingdom, Hudson, as the Coalition Commander, was the highest commander on-site and, theoretically, could act on behalf of the King and government’s authority.

Being capable doesn’t mean you should, acting in the stead of the monarch was always taboo.

Not only would the King of his own country be unhappy, but a slew of old-nobility would also become wary.

If things got too noisy, it would incite enmity from royal families across the Continent.

Even if he really wanted to do it, he would at least need to support a puppet King to be the frontman.

Hudson had no plans to develop in the Warhammer Kingdom; even if he obtained a large and fertile fiefdom, it was useless without a population.

A weakened country has no dignity.

Rather than being a powerful minister in the Warhammer Kingdom, it was better to return to the Alpha Kingdom and be a Local Lord; at least there would be no daily clean-up of messes.

Who let the current state of the Warhammer Kingdom be a complete mess?

Other Kingdoms worry about the emergence of powerful ministers, warlords, and vested interests.

The Warhammer Kingdom was the exception.

Whether it was a powerful Monarch or a powerful minister, they were not picky now.

Without a strong figure emerging to balance the interests of all sides, the Warhammer Kingdom was highly likely to further fragment.

At the very least, Hudson’s good friend, King George, had expressed that he could help his neighbor take care of part of the land.

This move even received the tacit support of his own King.

According to previously agreed conditions, the Moxi Duchy would have a share in the land expansion of the Warhammer Kingdom, so did Caesar IV.

Of course, as the central figure of the plan, Hudson would not miss out on benefits.

The specific distribution ratio among the three parties: 4:2:1.

This “4” was not just King George alone, but also included a host of the influential within the Moxi Duchy.

For the plan to succeed, the Moxi People needed to invest the strength of their nation.

Seen from the investment-profit ratio, Caesar IV got the biggest slice of the cake, having pulled strings only once at the beginning.

It was Hudson who did the work.

Caesar IV was not deeply involved.

Even if something went wrong, it had nothing to do with him.

But there was no way around it, who let him be the King?

Without Caesar IV’s participation, even if Hudson obtained a share of the benefits, he wouldn’t be able to keep it.

The share of interests was small, but The Royal Family was responsible for the land coordination.

They would transfer the meat cut from the Warhammer Kingdom to the internal parts of the Kingdom.

According to the plan, after the war, the Moxi Duchy would allocate land bordering the Kingdom to the Queen as added “dowry”; Hudson would then take over The Royal Family’s territory in the Southeastern Province.

The specifics would depend on the profitability, in general terms, the more meat the Moxi Duchy ate, the bigger the slice of the cake The Royal Family got, and the more compensation Hudson could obtain.

Under such circumstances, the schemes of the two major camps within the Warhammer Kingdom were doomed to fail.

To reconcile the conflicts between them was even more impossible.

If they didn’t make trouble, how could the Moxi Duchy expand; if the Moxi Duchy couldn’t expand smoothly, how could Master Hudson’s post-war earnings be secured?

To clear the obstacles for the expansion of the Moxi Duchy, Hudson also racked his brains.
