617.Chapter 617: Where is the future of the empire?
In this way, the roar of the Imperial Caesar was enough to cause an eighth-magnitude earthquake in the Imperial Intelligence Department. www.biquge.info After clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with these intelligence workers occupying the establishment and not being able to do anything, it was a waste of garbage in two rooms. William quickly got what he wanted in the shortest possible time.
Just like William guessed. Desperate, Teresa's mother and daughter meet the "Good Samaritan", an organization that has not played a role in this period - that is, in the beginning, William thought it was amazing, and in the middle of it was like that. In the end, I don't want to say anything but hehe.
That is, the Alchemist Alliance. The largest heretic and pagan organization on the continent.
During the initial war between the old and new sects, the Alchemist Alliance was very proud and mixed up, as if they had advertised to William that they intended to divide the northern empire and form a scientific, progressive, Protestant, and at the same time great nation of the Alchemist Alliance.
Soon, of course, these guys' attempts to divide the empire were met with a shameful failure. After defeating his opponent on the surface, Emperor Kalman IV showed no mercy and did not hesitate to begin to sweep away these corners, the masterminds hidden in the darkness or something.
It's like all the secret organizations that have been attacked by the state apparatus, as if it was the Assasin sect facing the Mongol army, and the Alchemist Alliance was instantly called by A's crying father. Heavy losses. This loss became even greater when the Bretons joined the battle and then turned the so-called Protestant League into their own pocket.
The Alchemist Alliance, which once collaborated with the Britons and turned them into a model country for alchemists, but they didn't earn a single penny, and the Alchemist Alliance was swept away must have a negative opinion of the Britons, and it was even lower than that of their enemy, Kalman IV.
And the people of Breton are also rightly disdainful of these flies and dogs' garbage. Plus these guys have a grudge against the Bretons before and something. Neither side intends to forgive and forgive the other. In this way, the relationship between the two parties can be imagined.
It's just that the relationship can be imagined and it's useless, and it's useless for the Alchemist Alliance to look down on the Britons. Because now, it is the Bretons who have the absolute advantage, and it is the Bretons who control almost all the territory of the entire empire.
Now it can be said that it is the most painful and difficult period of time for the Pan-Continent Alchemist Alliance. The Britons almost controlled the order on the continent. And the attitude of the people of Briton towards these guys, although it cannot be said that they are all killed, is definitely very bad, and they have an attitude of restricting development and even forcing them to disband.
The assets of the Alchemist League were confiscated, their business networks were swallowed up, their factories were expropriated, and their strongholds, their research institutes, were all closed and occupied. Those who think it's okay to take refuge in the Britons have already taken refuge in the Britons. Although the Bretons exterminated the Alchemist Alliance, they did not exclude these alchemists who joined alone.
These guys are usually able to get a good deal.
And the result of these guys has further prompted the outflow of talents in the hands of the Alchemist Alliance, and they have lost their sincerity to the Britons. It also makes it even more difficult for the Alchemist Alliance to maintain.
Of course, William also played a minor role in this process.
That is, to fall into the well.
William, who doesn't have much affection for the Alchemist Alliance, and certainly doesn't have any ill feelings, slightly increases the speed at which he recruits Alchemist Alliance talents.
Many of the talents of the Alchemist Alliance do not have a good impression of the Britons, and it is actually very difficult for them to take refuge in the Britons. What's more, the Bretons are not yet a Gothic people. And the vast majority of the people in the Pan-Continent Alchemist Alliance are Goths.
In this kind of "advanced" organization, it is natural that it also has the most advanced knowledge and the most advanced ideas of this era.
Nationalism, nationalism. And the statists, and nationalists, in this organization, are of course quite numerous.
These guys don't want to serve the Britons, of course. Although it is said that slogans are slogans, in fact, in recent years, morality has been degraded and people's hearts are not ancient, and there are many guys who say one thing and do another, and they swear to say this and that today, but it is not for nothing that one day later, they will still have to face it.
Therefore, although the strength is not as strong as the Britons, in fact, William has collected more talents than the Britons in recent times. The high-handed policies of the Britons have even backfired. The guys who were already unhappy with the rule of the Britons became even more unhappy with the rule of the Britons. And it's not just a buyer's market.
These experts and scholars, these talented people with outstanding abilities want to go out and sell, want to be officials, want experimental funds, want fame, want prestige, want this and that, and it is not just the Britun talents who give them.
So, in turn, the high-handed policies of the Britons helped William a lot.
However, whether it is the traitors who have taken refuge in the Britons or the good scientists who have taken refuge in democracy, the feelings for the Alchemist League are the same.
These bastards abandoned their beliefs, ideals, and a bunch of things in the most difficult time of the Order, and ended up taking refuge in the others.
If this is not a traitor, then there is no such thing as a traitor in this world.
Of course, of course, although there are all kinds of unhappiness in my heart that it is not a good thing for these guys to corrupt the foundation, but at the same time, these survivors of the Alchemist Alliance are helpless against them.
It is even said that these guys once thought that the entire one would be bought by the Hereford family.
The two sides have negotiated twice, but because the price difference between the two sides is too large, it is not surprising that it is yellow.
The Hereford family thought that this group of scum had fallen to this point, so they quickly packed up and licked it, and gave William all their machines, equipment, connections, resources, and their scientific research projects and scientific research results, and then let them do whatever they wanted. In this way, it will not lose the position of the marquis, wouldn't it be beautiful.
It's just a pity that William's sincerity allowed these guys to feed the dogs.
These guys don't seem to be able to figure out what's going on. It's as if these guys are still at their strongest, powerful enough to influence the political situation of the world, even though in reality these guys are already in the wind.
But, in short, these guys put forward a whole bunch of completely illogical conditions and demands to William according to the criterion of "I am strong". They want to control this, they want to control that, they want to interfere in the administration of the empire, the economy of the empire, the industry of the empire. And he looks like he's on top, as if it's a charity.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the other party wants to pay back the money at a high price, or if they are really stupid to this extent. Anyway, after hearing about the demands of these bastards, William did not hesitate to terminate the negotiations. Then he praised the actions of all the Bretons against the Alchemist Alliance, and even contributed to it more or less.
This kind of scum that can't see clearly how many catties and taels he has will die directly. Zhang Cheng was not distressed at all.
Then came the expedition to the Zoroastrian Empire in the Middle East, and then the ensuing war with the Ottoman Empire, in which Wilhelm von Hereford was a powerful force in the world. I didn't care about those things before.
It was in this context that William once again heard the name Alchemist League. I was a little curious, and at the same time I felt a little weird. What exactly do these guys want to do, what are they going to do?
Anyway, since the fellows found Teresa and encouraged the duchess to come to William, it proves that these fellows still have some thoughts on William.
And whether these thoughts are good or bad. William doesn't know yet.
But it doesn't matter if you think about it.
Having grown to this extent, William certainly understands that these guys can't shake their rule no matter what, and even if they do some messy things, they are just like clowns, making people laugh.
Regardless of what these guys are planning to do for the time being. It didn't matter what they thought or what they wanted to do, but their attitude did remind William.
Next, it was time for him to study the next step of the imperial strategy.
The reason why those guys attacked William and sent this Duchess Teresa may not understand the specific meaning, but the final resolution on the big picture is very clear, it must be that William wants to refocus his attention on imperial affairs.
Despite her current poverty, the title of Duchess Teresa is worthy of use. As the heir of the Swabian family, she could indeed claim all the property of the Swabian family, to be more precise, Great Moravia, present-day Bohemia and Austria.
In other words, if William wants to attack the Empire, then declare her marriage contract with her father valid, and then have a reason to take the territory for her father.
Although there are some troubles in this - for example, his father, Prince Otto, does not want to remarry, and even if he does, if he does not have children with Duchess Teresa, then it will not be a member of the Hereford family who will inherit these lands in the future, but the daughter of Duchess Teresa.
However, as long as you can take these territories in your hands, the meat in your mouth will not be able to spit it out again, right? At that time, as long as the government is reformed, and then the legendary Gothic empire is formed, then there will be no feudal secession. Mmmmmmmm
