473.Chapter 473: New Allies and New Battlefields

In this way, William's letter was quickly received by the woman who was called "Unstoppable". After www.biquge.info writing the letter, the female Su Dan was first surprised, then angry, then deep in thought, and then casually raised the letter, and the letter in her hand had turned into ashes.

Surprised, because William's reaction was so clear. It was so easy to see through her design. The anger was because William had insulted himself by his rude actions. To meditate was to think about one thing—she counted the time her letter went to William's hand, and then William's letter went to her hand. During this period, there are almost no pauses, no free time, more time to go out.

In other words, William's guy only understood his tactics and saw through his strategy in an instant. His own strategy had no effect at all.

"What a fascinating man. The female Sudan Fatima sighed as she said this. William's youth, William's talent, William's handsomeness and William's bravery.

She heard about William's deeds, and bought William's oil paintings at a high price. All this made Fatima full of interest in him.

Her letters to William were not entirely stratagem and deception. In a sense, the female Sudan even really has some sincerity. She was really interested in William. With the morality of the dark elves, it didn't seem like a big deal to have something to do with such a good man. On the contrary, it is a very pleasant thing.

Of course - all of this must be done under her leadership.

If William did give in and obey her, she might have given William a position that would please him and herself - but only on the premise that it was all under her control, and that William would be unconditionally obedient to her arrangement.

If you use an analogy, then it is like Catherine II and her German lovers. The tsaress, who had pushed the classical Russian Empire to its zenith, could even arrange for her lovers to become kings of some small state in Germany. They are also monarchs. But a monarch under the great emperor Catherine II. Both the body and the state were the playthings of the female tsar.

But of course, William didn't have that awareness, he didn't have that interest, and he didn't have that preference. It's like a handwritten letter he wrote to the female Sudan. From the handwriting to the content of the letter, it seems to be affectionate, but in fact it is full of hypocrisy.

Therefore, in the end, the female Su Dan was relieved, because after thinking about it a little, she should know that this is a matter of course. If that could really be the case, if she could make a hero like William surrender with a letter, then the heroes of this world would be too worthless.

And, in addition to that......

"No one cares about something that is easy to get your hands on. "It's as if she's talking to someone, and it's like she's talking to herself. At the end, she smiled happily again: "Speaking of which, William's father, as I remember, was called Otto, and he was also a very good gentleman." Although I am a little older, I have great advantages to being big. Maybe one day, they can ...... father and son together."

Thinking of this, Nu Sudan's mood improved again. She was already a little eager to see William again. Let this unruly young man know what respect is.

That's it.

That is, in the female Sudan happy imagination...... Or at the same time as delusion, in Novgorod, Wilhelm was somewhat relieved - the city of Riga was really a little far from the front line, and Novgorod was just right. Perhaps after that, William would have placed his base in Moscow. All in all, he came to the city, and the city became lively again because of William's arrival.

The army of the Hereford family is constantly pouring in, and the army brings with it a lot of job opportunities, a lot of opportunities to make money. There's nothing more joyful.

On the same day that William arrived, he received letters from the Council of the Carpathians, which in most cases governed themselves by the system of aristocratic parliaments, because the king, the Emperor Kalman IV, was away from home all the year round. In the vast majority of cases, this governance is effective. However, this also increased the centrifugal force of the Carpathian Kingdom. Especially in this particular case.

A few days later, letters from Lombardy also arrived. The letter was written in the names of the four Dukes of Ferrara, Mantua, Tuscany and Modena, as well as Venice, the two consuls of the ****** Republic, and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, a total of seven people. Basically, these seven high-ranking dukes, archdukes and consuls, were the ones who could decide the fate of Northern Lombardy.

The contents of the two letters are much the same. Basically, they congratulated and complimented William, and at the same time responded to William's previous request for further alliances. This relieved William...... Although before that, these countries, these people were very average. It is even said that there is no overlap of interests. But in the face of a public, really powerful threat to the enemy. The three countries came together at the fastest pace.

After a series of alliances, exchange of interests, as well as mutual assurances. With the Hereford family as the benchmark and hub, the foundations of the Lombardy-Russia-Carpathian Triple Alliance were established.

William was not looking to build a simple alliance against the Dark Elves. What he hoped to build was a military bloc that included economic, political, diplomatic, and military integration. The purpose of this military group is to use military means against the Dark Elves, the Ottoman Empire, and all the vassal powers of the Ottoman Empire. by economic, political and diplomatic means. Seeking wider cooperation within the empire would allow all three countries to reap sufficient benefits.

This is an alliance of interests of an integrated nature. In this way, William hoped to tie the Carpathian kingdom and the Lombard kingdoms to his chariot little by little. Prepare yourself for success at the top.

However, this alliance of interests is only a draft, a prototype and an idea.

In the use of military means to fight against the dark elves. The Carpathian and Lombard countries agreed and believed that it should be feasible.

But on another point, the three parties have their own considerations and problems.

The doubts of the Carpathian Kingdom lie in diplomatic and political aspects. Although, there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the Swabian family. At the same time, he was thinking about whether he should change the king or something. But for now, at least, Kalman IV of the Swabian family was King of the Carpathians. There is no doubt about that.

Despite the local aristocracy, the parliament had a high degree of autonomy. It is even possible to throw off the royal family and form an alliance with the Hereford family. But this does not mean that the Carpathian Kingdom will do it in everything.

The second of William's remarks would obviously have a huge impact on the relationship between the Swabians and the Carpathian Kingdom. It even led to the separation of the Carpathian kingdom from the Swabian family. All this is something that the nobles of the kingdom need to think about.

For the Lombard states, the problem is even more.

The concern of the four small states of Tuscany, Ferrara, Mantua and Modena is that they have lost too much autonomy after signing a series of articles. This in turn led to the erosion of the principality's independent status. In particular, the fact that the Hereford family had wiped out several small imperial states before this and merged them into the Central and Northern Regions made these small states feel sad and dead.

For the two commercial republics of ****** and Venice, the matter was more economic.

With the advent of the industrial age. The advantages of traditional commercial republics like ******, Venice, Novgorod, which had already been annexed by Wilhelm, and Bolotsk, are gradually disappearing. Both in business and in manufacturing. None of these traditional commercial republics could compete with countries that had undergone the Industrial Revolution or had largely industrial power, such as the Hereford family.

The Hereford family's manufacturing industry has grown rapidly in recent years. And the family spares no effort in the pursuit of the market. Despite the influence of the Alps and the azure seas, the Lombardy peninsula used to be a traditional, closed market trading circle. But it still took a certain impact.

The battle between the two sides in the imperial market has made the two commercial republics feel uneasy and frustrated. What they are facing is a powerful force that has gathered the industry, manufacturing, integration, mechanization, and industrialization of one or even several countries. Whether it is in raw materials, in resources, in the variety, quality, and price of goods. The Hereford family's goods surpassed those of the two commercial republics in all respects. So much so that in the competition in the imperial market, the two commercial republics were defeated.

Today, the goods of the two commercial republics were almost completely withdrawn from the imperial market. Had it not been for the closed, dishonorable administrative interference, and other tricks to ensure their dominance in the Lombard market, the peninsular market would have been quickly swallowed up by the influx of family products.

Under these circumstances, the Business Republic was naturally extremely wary of the Hereford family's proposals.

Finally, there is the Grand Duchy of Sardinia.

As the most powerful country on the peninsula, and the only country with the slightest possibility of unifying the peninsula and being crowned king of Lombardy, the Grand Duke of Sardinia was even more terrified of this package.

First of all, he feared that the Hereford family would use this covenant to infiltrate the peninsula. With this trick, he gradually sought the ruling power of the peninsula, and even was crowned king of Lombardy.

Second, he feared that after this Covenant, the various small nations on the peninsula had also theoretically become allies of the Hereford family. In this case, he naturally cannot rely on his strong national strength to intervene, attack, or even annex them as before.

That's it. The monarchs of the peninsula all made a negative and vetoed decision - if William was not too important to Lombardy, they would probably have begun to openly denounce William as wishful thinking. The Lombards would never accept such blackmail and humiliation.
