readx; Carlos takes some time every day to think about life. 【Read full text】
Are the memories of my previous life real?
Is the self in this life real?
Did I change the world or did the world change me?
If the world is changed, will my foresight still be useful?
If you don’t change the world and just go with the flow, will you live better?
who I am?
Who am I?
Whenever he wanders in pain in the ocean of philosophy, His Majesty King Carlos Barov, the first and strongest paladin of the Kingdom of Ultraking, would resent the lack of toilet paper in Azeroth.
Rub the mulberry paper in your hands vigorously to soften the paper, and then wipe it with despair, ah, a new day has begun again.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Alex sent someone to tell you that today's speech in the square cannot be postponed any longer." Todd saw His Majesty the King leaving the latrine, and immediately gave him hand towels and soap.
"When the war is over, I will live a luxurious life of wiping my butt with rune cloth." Carlos issued a cry from the times.
"Your Majesty, although the government is nervous, you still have some silk to use in the toilet." Todd's facial muscles twitched slightly.
"Silk, that is a strategic material. It can prevent arrows and can be used for bandaging. The final destination of a good piece of silk should be a blood-soaked battlefield, not a dirty toilet, understand?" Carlos finished tidying up his personal hygiene and despised his own The butler glanced.
"You are the king, and you have the final say. But the Grand Duke has an order. Today, Your Majesty, you cannot delay it any longer. For many days since you have been on the throne, you have not held a court meeting. Every time a new emperor ascends the throne, you should give a speech in the square. You have been delaying it, and until now the people don't know what their emperor looks like. This is your dereliction of duty." Todd urged his majesty the king with determination.
"If I were a fool, I would hang you on the flagpole right now!" Carlos glared at Todd fiercely.
"Your Majesty, if you were a fool, you wouldn't have to worry about using mulberry paper in the toilet." Todd replied without fear.
"You are so honest that I can't find any reason to punish you." Carlos patted Todd on the shoulder and turned to leave.
The king may not necessarily live a more comfortable life than the nobles, especially the king who has ideals and ambitions.
After a period of recuperation, Carlos basically recovered. But in the face of heavy state affairs, the new king has a big head.
Although his father, Grand Duke Alex, handled most of the government affairs, there was no way to bypass Carlos for some key state affairs.
These include the mobilization order for the kingdom to enter a state of total war and the plaza speech to reassure people.
It is definitely not easy for a country to enter a state of all-out war. This includes the coordination of all aspects: the deployment of personnel, the adjustment of industrial structure, the centralized collection of food and war preparation materials, the distribution of responsibilities and obligations of noble lords, and the most critical task of recruiting new soldiers.
Although the war between the Alliance and the Horde destroyed the production and life in the Hillbrad Hills, it also brought a large number of foreign populations to the Kingdom of Alterac.
However, as the essence of the Hillblade Hills, the Tarren Mill region is a top priority for both the Barov family and the Kingdom of Alterac.
At present, the entire Alterac Kingdom's military force, except for the part provided to the unified command of the Alliance, is almost all deployed in the Tarren Mill area. The territory of the Alterac Mountains, plus the recruits recruited by the former King Aiden, only has 5,000. No one arrived.
With almost all the private soldiers of the nobles drained out, the Kingdom of Alterac has fulfilled its obligations as a member of the Alliance. No one can blame the Alterac people for their military contribution.
But Carlos understood that as one of the tribe's main breakthrough directions, the current military strength of the Alterac Kingdom was not enough.
Reality will never be as simple as the game. It does not mean that you can keep the enemy away by blocking the intersection.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, and what is difficult is the supply of vehicles and horses. Having seen the tenacity and durability of the orcs on the battlefield, Carlos did not dare to let the tribe enter the mountains. If the orcs were to eat the enemy, what would the Alterac people do? The orcs were very hungry and did not mind eating people.
So the best way is to gather enough troops to make the tribe retreat and give up the idea of starting the war from the direction of Alterac.
Precisely because this is the best way, the nobles within the kingdom are not opposed to the mobilization order for total war. The focus of the dispute lies in the amount of effort and the distribution of responsibilities.
The nobles did not value the contribution of material savings, as well as the post-war profits and the reputation of the kingdom, or they did not value it that much.
But the battlefield is ruthless, and the mobilization of personnel, especially young and middle-aged people, is the focus of the nobles' quarrel. Who knows how many people will come back if they mobilize their people to participate in the war. After the war, his neighbors happily take their people home to graze. If your herdsmen and farmers die, who will graze the cattle and sheep, and cultivate the land?
Not worrying about scarcity but worrying about unevenness is about harvest.
Don’t worry about the injustice but the abundance, it’s about giving.
Although Alex Barov tried his best to coordinate, less than one-tenth of the mobilization plan was completed within ten days.
"Father, we need to recruit at least 20,000 more soldiers. If we add the current troops, we may kill the tribe's hope of trying to break out from the Alterac Mountains."
A short time before the speech in the square, Carlos talked with his father.
"Why are there so many? The Alliance does not have 100,000 people so far. If we recruit another 20,000 people, it will be equivalent to the Alterac family recruiting 37,000 people. This is not a small number. Even if there are a large number of people who have fled to Alterac, The number of refugees from Rank is too exaggerated.”
Before the war, Alterac had only a little over 100,000 citizens. Counting the hidden population and mountain people, the total population would not exceed 120,000. Even if the war caused a large number of fleeing residents of Hillbrad Hills to flow into Alterac, the current population of the Kingdom of Alterac is definitely less than 200,000. Carlos' request to recruit 20,000 troops made Alex shake his head.
"Father, believe me, if you don't fight with all your strength now, you may not even have the chance to fight for your life in the future. This is precisely because Alterac cannot compare to Lordaeron and Gilneas, and it does not have the almost natural protection of Thoradin's Wall. , so we must concentrate our efforts.”
Carlos analyzed the situation to his father in a very serious and serious tone.
"I'll try my best, but you'd better not be too optimistic."
Alex agreed with his son's statement.
"By the way, are you ready for the speech in the square later? This speech is a good opportunity for you to promote your own ideas, and it is also an important signal. Those neutralists and surrenderers are waiting for you to announce the unrest. It's over." Alex reminded Carlos not to underestimate this square speech, and at the same time pointed out the meaning behind this political show.
"It's time to end this."
The control of the army has been basically completed, and the opposition that needs to be purged has almost been purged. Carlos also hopes that he can focus on fighting the orc tribe, instead of thinking about the need to clean up his own people every day.
"Here, here is the speech."
After calculating that time was almost up, Alex took out a volume of manuscript and gave it to Carlos. However, Carlos took a cursory look at it and returned the manuscript to his father.
"Father, the nobles just need a signal, and the people don't want to see their king reading from a manuscript."
Carlos, who had recovered most of the power of the Holy Light, decided to use his own way to promote his beliefs (pretending to be his own).
