A short meta:
Alucard is a warlord no matter what, after all these years he still thinks like one. In modern words we could use the terms "military commander, "politician", "diplomat" to describe his past position. I, personally, don't want to protray him going full insanity mindless blood thrist. Don't get me wrong, this man is still insane and blood thirst but he has a sharp strategy mind, as well as, the knowledge of art of war and commerce.
For example, he cares about human resources of the country he served (human resources undoubtedly one of the key factor to the develop of a country). Also, he understands the reason behind British empire decline, which is interesting since we could see his acknowledges of modern world politics [hcs: he frequently has dicussions with Integra on current politics]. And don't forget Vlad is one of the Romanian national heroes, even Romania Marxist historians in the 60-70s rehabilitated his status as "a cruel leader but he was motivated by the need to protect the state from internal and external threats".

Perhaps, he has learnt International relations before due to the Coldwar plus what was happened in the UK during the 20th century.
He's a vampire, yes but before that he's a ruler so politics!
[hcs: His favorite classic works are "The Prince" by Machiavelli, "Leviathan" by Hobbes & "The Tragedy of Great power politics" by Mearsheimer ]
