Riga, after contacting all the big people who should have been in contact with the big people who might have had an impact on the war, William was more or less relieved that the situation did not seem to be as bad as expected. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info at least no one will hold him back. For this third great border war. The attitude of other countries in the human world is obvious, that is, you fight yours, I fight mine. With the exception of the Holy See, which had some interest, the other countries of the human world reacted coldly.

Whatever William said, the crusaders he expected were not formed. Love is what it is. The level of devotion of people today is really not as high as it was when they didn't have enough to eat.

But it doesn't matter, William didn't count on these guys in the first place. And although it is said that the dark elves are very scary, they are a good opponent. But William believed it wasn't enough to bother him. This war will inevitably end in victory for our own side. And you will definitely get what you want.

Land, resources, population.

Neither can Ruthenia be controlled. It is the source of the Hereford family, the most important coal and iron resource at present. If there is no Ruthenia, the Hereford family will not have to think about what heavy industry to build, so let's wash and sleep early.

That's it.

What makes William happier is that the dark elves don't have a high sense of secrecy. Although war has already been confirmed. But they did not expel the Hereford and Lombards from their lands.

Of course, diplomats don't count. The above is mainly businessmen.

This is also in line with the basic laws of this era. That is, while the war is going on, people-to-people exchanges, especially people-to-people commercial exchanges, will not be interrupted. This also made it easier for the Cheka agents to find out the news.

Although it is said that the military camps, arsenals, military docks and other sensitive and important places are not accessible. But this is not difficult for the Cheka agents at all.

In addition to gathering information from taverns, through beauty tricks, through bribery and other more traditional ways. The Checas also learned something new from their king.

By calculating the various secondary resources that flow into the barracks, arsenals, and military docks, that is, food, fodder, metal, gunpowder, wood, iron nails, canvas, etc., the size of the opponent's troops, the degree of weaponry, and the size of the fleet are measured.

Although the final data obtained will definitely differ from the actual data. But the difference will never be large. Through the mastery of material flows, coupled with mathematical analysis. The Hereford family basically had this information.

The scale of the mobilization of the Fatimid woman Sudan is really not small. An army of more than 140,000 is being assembled. This would include about 30,000 palace guards. About 50,000 Spasi feudal troops. and about 30,000 tribal soldiers.

The 110,000 or so troops were all provided by the Turks, Levantines, and other believers of the Celestial Sect under the control of the Ottoman Empire. The origin of the Janissaries was the most complex. It is usually made up of young boys purchased by traffickers and trained. They are also the strongest in combat. The Spasi army usually consisted of traditional cavalry. Most of them were small Turkic nobles. It also includes some of the improved shooting corps, that is, musketeers. And the tribal army, which consisted mainly of the Levantines. It is the weakest fighting force. Regardless of discipline, or organization, weapons and equipment are the worst. Most of these guys are cannon fodder, used to drain the strength of the Hereford family.

Except for these 110,000 human troops. The Ottomans would also organize a new army of 30,000 Ottoman Janissaries - these 30,000 were not human - to join the war. It's the dark elves. And according to William's investigation. It is likely that these dark elves have completed the flintlock and bayonet transformation. They will be the most formidable opponents of the Hereford family.

These 140,000 troops are the army of the Ottoman itself. In addition to them, the empire will mobilize the forces of their Berber vassals on the northern coast of the Green Continent. Drive these Berber pirates, as well as the Imperial Navy under the command of the Berber commander, to attack the Lombards, as well as to transport supplies for her army by sea.

At the same time, she will mobilize a large number of nomadic cavalry from the Cuman-Kipchak steppe, a number that is difficult to determine. However, with the financial resources of the female Sudan and the influence of the dark elves in the Cuman-Kipchak steppe, William's first prediction was that it would never be less than the forces that the Hereford family could mobilize. If you add this number of nomadic troops, plus Berber pirates, then the Ottoman army is likely to exceed 160,000. And even more.

If you use the need for false reporting in this era, then Nu Sudan can claim without hesitation that she has an army of 200,000 under her command. If you claim it again, you can claim to be 500,000.

500,000 troops. And it is also an army of dark elves that is even more terrifying than the empire in terms of technical weapons, and certain equipment. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

William even felt that if his Hereford family was to fight against the dark elves alone, then the possibility of his defeat and victory would be five-five. And even if it wins, it will definitely be a lot of casualties.

The Hereford family is now in a rare period of upswing. If this upward trend is interrupted by the dark elves, it will be very difficult to recover.

The Hereford family may not collapse, and may still be able to become a powerful country in the world. But it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to fulfill William's vision of the Gothic Empire and become such a great nation.

Because of this, William took this war very seriously.

The war was so important, so significant, that the loss of the war would have been painful for the Hereford family - but that did not mean that William could refuse the war - even before he had received a rather ambiguously worded "handwritten letter" from the female Sultan.

In the letter to William, on the soft paper with the scent of roses, the female Sudan Fatima first greeted William, and then described William's great achievements in a large and slightly exaggerated sentence. She praised William for being such a great, so young, what an amazing ruler. and expressed her admiration for William, and it can even be said that it implies a feeling of love.

She claimed that she could live in peace with William. It is possible to make an open partition with William about the current legacy left by the Khanate after the collapse of the Tartarya Khanate. Both sides can take what they need.

She even generously claimed that she was willing to share with William the suzerainty of the Cuman-Kipchak steppe. It is also possible to make quite "significant" concessions on the issue of the demarcation of Ruthenia. She can even compensate William for some sums of money, and even some special "compensation". to comfort William.

This female Su Dan's handwriting is so beautiful, and the wording is so gentle, and then thinking about the other party's identity, status, and power, as well as the fiery red lip print printed at the end of the letter, most of them are already hot and can't help themselves, and then subconsciously think of a series of messy things, and then have a great impression of this female Su Dan.

However, William was completely different. William sneered except for a sneer. This female Su Dan really thinks of herself as something good, it's unreasonable. Sleeping with her would make William make such a big concession? It's unimaginable.

Yes, concessions. Although it is said that the female Su Dan said it very gently and ambiguously. It sounded like she had suffered a lot. But in reality it was different—the interests of the Cuman-Kipchak steppe, which she was willing to share with William, and the interests of the Ruthenian region. It's none of her thing! And William is determined to do it!

It is equivalent to saying that she wants to share with William what does not belong to her, let William accept her love, and then get more benefits in these two areas, so that the dark elves' battle line will advance hundreds of kilometers to the north!

How is this possible?!

Does this guy take everyone in the world for a fool?!

William felt that this guy should have been Su Dandang for too long, and he really thought that he could do anything.

Hehe.

Of course, I think so in my heart, but I can't actually do it. William soon wrote a "handwritten letter" to the woman Sultan—a letter written by his wife, or Senior Secretary Elise, so to speak. In the letter, William also expressed his willingness to cooperate with the female Sudan in a warm tone. In his cooperation, the content of cooperation was further expanded, declaring that he was willing to share the Carpathian Kingdom, the Lombard Kingdom, the Caucasus and the Blue Sea with the female sultan.

As if it was done by the female Sudan, William took out a large piece of something that did not belong to him at all, and made a promise to the female Sudan. At the same time, he was also very eager to try, and a little shy expressed to the female Su Dan that he was willing to "sacrifice himself for the interests of the country" and "If Su Dan is really willing, then he can't let her get her wish".

Although it is said politely, the actual meaning is obvious, that is, the female Sudan is a scum who is shameless and loves men. But if he was really willing to "share" everything, William couldn't help but reluctantly ask her to waste it.

In this way, William was very confident in his letters. So he sent an envoy to Istanbul. At the same time, William's preparations did not stop, but did more.

From the various militia systems, from the civilian levies, they were replenished into the damaged Praetorian Guard as quickly as possible. At the same time, further covenants with the Carpathians, Lombardy, were being drafted. Eventually, William will lead an army of 100,000 to the south to attack the invincible female Sultan. Maybe at that time, if that guy is really good, William can't let her spoil himself.

Well, or let yourself spoil her.
