Then the next thing is much simpler, mobilize the army, prepare supplies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the same time, the railroad workers under William also began to build a railway line to the south, to the Ruthenian region. William's goal was the entire Slavic world, the cradle and center of the entire Ruthenian civilization, Ruthenia, the capital of the First Slavic Empire, Kiev.

As long as Kiev, the only barely resembling city in Ruthenia at present, can be controlled, then it is equivalent to controlling the whole of Ruthenia - because of this period of time, a series of wars, this country, which was originally considered a large country, has declined to an unbelievable level.

Ruthenia, which once had a population of more than 3 million, probably does not have more than 300,000 people today. Half of the 300,000 people are concentrated in Kyiv and the surrounding areas. This is the most prosperous and only prosperous region in Ruthenia. To capture this place is to capture most of Ruthenia - no, it is not an exaggeration to capture the whole of Ruthenia.

In the conditions of the vast desolation of Ruthenia, if the Dark Elves want to open a second battlefield and truly gain a foothold in the Great Frontier Region, then the Kyiv region must be captured. Otherwise, it would be impossible to supply an army strong enough to fight the Herefords with a handful of scattered Slavic settlements.

And if all the supplies and materials are delivered through the southern mainland, even with the wealth of the dark elves, I am afraid it will not be able to support it. This is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, for the Fatimid woman Sudan, the most correct tactic is to go north, and to fight with Hereford is to go north, compete with the Hereford family for the area around Kiev, and then run here, using this place as a springboard and bridgehead. He then continued northward, attacking the Russian kingdom of the Hereford family.

In the process, she may also have to send more cavalry units to the north in a nomadic manner, raiding and disrupting Russia's economy and agriculture. At the same time, they bought, divided, and co-opted the Slavians of the north, or the steppe tribes. Exhausted by the Hereford family, they finally sent a large army to defeat Novgorod in one fell swoop, successfully unifying the entire Slavic world.

Of course, if it were the other way around, then William could also use this as a springboard south to Tronika - even if it was difficult to conquer the Crimean peninsula because of its topography, he would annex all the territory outside the Crimean peninsula. It's just that the naval superiority is insufficient, so it is impossible to overwhelm the enemy in the Black Sea and completely unify the entire Slavic world.

"It's terrible. When he thought about this, William felt very unhappy.

Almost all territories along the Black Sea coast are controlled by the Dark Elves. The only way to get out of the Black Sea is the Dardanelles. The strait is also guarded by the Dark Elves.

This guaranteed the Ottoman Empire, with absolute superiority in the waters of the Black Sea, undoubted naval power. On second thought, this naval advantage was back then, because of William - back then, during the Second Great Frontier War, it was William who persuaded the female Sudan Fatima by sending troops to Tronika and ceding Crimea, which led to the current situation where the dark elves have no one to control in the Black Sea.

But of course, if he had to go back in time and let William choose again, then he would still have to do it. Because if it weren't for the invasion of the 100,000 Dark Elves army at that time, then I'm afraid the Second Great Border War would have been defeated. A Sarida Khan who went all out, one of the most powerful Tartarya khanates, was definitely not comparable to the Hereford family at that time.

"So, it's still a headache. William sighed. At the same time, I was thinking about what should happen next.

Even if the situation was ten thousand times better, in this war, he would not be able to take the entire Tronika region.

If you can't take the entire Tronika region, you can't drive all the dark elves out of the sea.

If you can't drive them all out to sea, you can't prevent the Dark Elves from invading again. The Black Sea coast, in particular, will definitely become a paradise for dark elf pirates. In this case, William really doesn't have anything too good to do.

"Therefore, it is absolutely unrealistic to think that the Ottoman Empire will be crushed in a single war, as it was against the Tartarya Khanate. William thought to himself: "Since there is no way to eliminate them all, I have to compromise with them." Maybe in the coming days, I'll have to work with the Dark Elves to some extent. At the very least, security and stability in the south of the Hereford family need to be guaranteed. ”

With this in mind, William considered a variety of possibilities. Then I thought about how to deal with these possibilities, so that the more choices I made, the richer I became. In just a few moments, dozens of results came up with in my mind.

The best of these is to use the power of the Carpathian Kingdom and the Lombard states to gain an advantage on the outer battlefield, and then force the Dark Elves to make a choice with the advantage of the outer front. Territories captured on the battlefield on the outer front, as well as benefits in exchange for all of Tronica. Forced the Ottoman Empire to compromise and surrender.

Then rearmament and warfare. Before the start of the second war with the Ottoman Empire, the Black Sea Navy was vigorously developed. This will create a defensive navy that will not be easily defeated by the enemy, and can guarantee its own safety. Even secretly deployed the latest ironclad ships in the Black Sea, defeated the enemy with secret weapons in the Second Ottoman War, and even captured Istanbul.

Of course, this tactic is somewhat taken for granted and a little whimsical. The biggest obstacle is not the Hereford family themselves - although the Dark Elves have assembled an army of 100,000, their combat power is likely to be stronger than the Emperor's army. But William did not think he would be defeated.

William's war concern was that his allies were dragging their feet.

Either defeat in the war, which leads to a worsening of the situation, or there is another outcome, which is victory. But those guys don't want to give up the land they occupy on the outside and help the Hereford family win the Crimean peninsula. This is the one thing that worries William the most.

After all, no one is an idiot to do such a thing that harms themselves and others...... The Lombards were a little better. Most of them sent the navy. Even if they want to occupy some territory, most of it is island to island, so that they can trade in the east of the blue sea.

But the Carpathians are different. The Carpathian Kingdom, which William knew, had the ambition to unify the entire southeastern region and form a Greater Carpathian Empire. So, it's very difficult to get them to spit out the land they occupy. It is impossible to say that if you make a bad fuss, you will let this fragile alliance collapse.

"Therefore, it is necessary to find other benefits for the Carpathians to compensate. William thought to himself. And very quickly, he thought of a "thing" that would be perfect as a "compensation".

Grand Duchy of Romania. This pleasant, and at the same time very pathetic, little country, which in this war has fully developed the spirit of the wallgrass, is just the right size and length for the Carpathians to satisfy.

If William could support the Carpathians in annexing Romania, it would greatly change the situation in the Balkans. The Carpathian Kingdom will be a shield across the Balkans and the Southeast, isolating the territory of the Hereford family from the territory of the Dark Elves. It becomes a strategic buffer and a shield.

William suddenly felt that this tactic was quite good, and it could be said to be the highest level of self-interest at the expense of others. It is quite a pleasant feeling of sharing the spoils after various world wars in later generations. Thinking about it this way, William felt that this thing had been done. Well, yes, there's definitely something to do. This should be the best model for this war that William can think of.

He unified the entire Slavic world. Since then, we have come one step closer to the goal of world domination. At the same time, he won himself over the Carpathian Kingdom, such a loyal and reliable thug, ally, shield, dumping place of goods. You can also ease the relationship between yourself and the female Sudan through a series of post-war interest exchanges. Why not do it?

Of course, there is one biggest, biggest problem waiting for William to solve - and that is victory.

If you can win, then everything is easy to say. But if the war is lost, then everything is a dream.

For the best, William had expected the best and made a series of preparations. But at the same time, William also thinks about the worst possible outcome.

If it is, of course, just if it is said, if it is said in case, if it is, perhaps, maybe. William was defeated. And this defeat was not an ordinary defeat, but a very big rout. The kind with heavy casualties. It was very special that the tens of thousands of troops under his command were all wiped out. What should he do in this situation?

William thought about it again and again, and finally could only come up with one solution.

That is to abandon all of Russia completely - even if it is painful. But in order to avoid a general collapse, he still had to choose this - after abandoning Russia, he would return all his forces to the Vistula. Then prepare for a battle to attack and defend the fortress on the Vistula River. Desperately resist, be sure not to let the enemy enter the kingdom of Wende.

If this can be done, then the Hereford family, which owns the Wende Kingdom and the largest country in the empire, will have the capital to make a comeback. The next thing to do is to compromise with the human world - to continue to renew the covenant with the Britons, and then obediently become the little brother of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Prepare to spend your life fighting with that female Sudan in the land of the Slavites.

"Of course, it's all a last resort. William thought to himself: "I hope the situation will not get worse to that extent...... Well, hopefully. William thought to himself. At the same time, there is a little uneasiness about the coming war.

Of course, the uneasiness was very fast, and it was only for a moment that William suppressed it. Didn't float anymore.
