"I'll take care of this. www.biquge.info"William's overtures did not get too positive a response from Victoria. After the other party hummed for a while, he responded casually with an expressionless face, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

But of course, this is Victoria's attitude. Because William thanked the other party for a little help, and forgave the other party because the other party showed favor or something, it was completely impossible.

Yes, not at all.

"Then, it's time to think about the finale. William said: "Although it is not within the scope of the agreement, it is not in our interest if the New World continues to be chaotic." ”

"So?" Victoria understood what William meant when she heard this. But she still asked quietly.

"So, after resting, I'll lead my army north. What's the name of the leader of the rebels? Looks like George, something. But it doesn't matter, it's anyone's best, kill him, and calm this chaos. Let the New World calm down and return to the Old World. That's it. ”

“...... Well. Although there is some disgust with William's attitude that the leader of the rioters is dust, and it can be solved by sweeping it casually. Because he had a back and forth with that Mr. George.

However, although the process cannot be admitted, the result is unquestionable. Victoria also understood, yes, she understood, thanks to William's blessing, this rebellion could finally be quelled. What a gratifying ...... If William can be more reliable, perhaps it is not impossible to continue to rely on him and maintain the alliance between the two sides......

"Well, that's it. William stood up casually, waved his hand casually in greeting, and then turned around and prepared to leave. His whole person looked casual.

"So...... Is it self-aggrandizing for the sake of victory? Perhaps the assessment of Wilhelm von Hereford needs to be slightly revised. Looking at William's back as he walked casually, Victoria thought.

Next, it is time to return to his official residence. In recent times, the privateer fleets of Asturian and Visigoths have been moving less, so the routes between the New World and the Old World have become safer. The speed of the flow of various goods and commodities will also increase.

In this case, William's vision of the prosperous era of cotton textiles also had a foundation.

That is, the connection with the owners of the textile industry in Shilonsk can be further developed...... It's just that, so to speak, but before that, the textile industry in Shilonsk was dominated by wool textiles.

"Those guys don't want to change the production equipment and the product...... But it's a matter of course. After all, isn't everyone like me, who has eyes that can see through the direction of history?" William chuckled: "Although wool weaving is not impossible. But, sure enough, the future of the world is still cotton...... Well, at least before the advent of chemical fiber fabrics. Efficiency, efficiency. Wool is too inefficient. Compared to cotton, which can be grown on a large scale and can be improved quickly, sheep are a very troublesome creature. So ......"

"So, if those guys don't want to do it, we'll do it ourselves. William smiled and said to Elise.

"Shall we open a textile factory?" Elise was a little surprised: "But we don't have the equipment for this, and there is ......"

"It's right there -- I mean, in Shilonsk. "Shilonsk has enough experience, enough machinery and equipment, and enough textile workers," said William. You can use it with just a few changes. ”

"But, however, this will create hostility from the textile factory owners in Shilonsk. This may ......"

"Yes, but it's really nothing. William said casually, "I sensed that one of the bad things was that we had been a little too nice to those guys before this. Well, yes, it's very bad. They might think I'm weak and deceitful, and that's bad. ”

"So what?" asked Elise.

"So, in addition to wooing them and giving them benefits, I also want to show those bastards my power. ”

"In terms of strength, I think that we have defeated the Visigoths and the Asturian coalition army, and it should have been ......"

"No," William shook his finger, "It's not about military power. Military victories, while important, were a layer away for the merchants and the factory owners. Relatively speaking, it's in the field that those guys are best at, spreading fear, which can make people feel more scared. ”

"That's why I built my own cotton mill...... But ......"

"But what?"

"Perhaps...... Well, maybe we can use our commercial advantage to deter the enemy, but the problem is that business is never just a commercial problem. If I were the owner of the factory in Shilonsk, I would not hesitate to use other means when I found it impossible to defeat the enemy by commercial means. What's more, His Majesty Henry in Shilonsk has always been not good to us.

Perhaps, instead of making them compromise, we will make them abandon us altogether, strengthen their faith and stand by the side of King Henry. ”

"That's not bad. William's answer surprised Elise even more: "If they really do this, really collude with His Majesty, and then compete with me in a way that is not a commercial means, I have a good reason to attack Shilonsk." ”

"Ah...... This ......" Elise was slightly surprised, "Is that what you're really for, William?"

"It's just a possibility. William smiled: "The result is not up to me, but to the choice of those Shilonsk factory owners." But it doesn't matter if they choose to confront or surrender. It's a total win for me. ”

"But...... Is it really possible to compete? The prerequisite for winning all is that the cotton textile factory we opened in Shilonsk can really compete with the local factory owners. Elise still didn't have much confidence.

"That's where we're going to go. William's tone was still relaxed, which made Elise feel a little ...... Something unusual, yes, unusual, William looks a little ...... Well, yes, a little absent-mindedly. No, it can't be said to be absent-minded, but too confident.

"Isn't it a good thing to be arrogant because of the victory over the Visigoths and the Asturian alliance? Elise made a similar judgment to Victoria.

Looking at William's back, Elise subconsciously wanted to stop him. But immediately, he changed his mind.

In this situation, even if someone said anything casually, William wouldn't listen to it. And with William's ability and wisdom, there are very few people in this world, or things that are difficult for him. If you use the old saying, it is wise enough to refuse advice, and words are enough to disguise wrong.

It feels like you can do it as long as you want to do it. That's pretty much what it means. So William would not follow anyone's advice.

"You can't do this" or "If you continue to be careless, you'll suffer." "William would never listen to such painless words.

"So, unless he really suffers, William won't grow. The question is, when will William suffer?" and Elise thought about the question, and then found that she couldn't think of it anyway.

Because as I said before, with William's ability, there is nothing in this world that can stump him.

Perhaps, William will spend his life so proud and complacent, and in the end he will not be able to correct this shortcoming, because he will not suffer in the future. Or maybe it's a legend. Elise thought to herself, and then the uneasiness she had felt immediately vanished.

Since William is a "legend", then there is no need to question his actions anymore. Anyway, there is no problem now, there is no problem in the New World, there is no problem in the Old World. After taking all the elements into account, Elise came to the conclusion that "everything is fine" as a matter of course.

"So, at least for a few years, we won't have any problems. And a few years later...... Who knows what will happen after that long time? That's it, Elise completely put these things behind her, and then, like William, her whole body became lighter.

The world is so vast, the world is so weak, and the world is waiting for William to conquer. There is nothing better in this world than to conquer the world with ease.

That's it.

"So, that's it. ”

In the humble parlor of the humble mansion, William faced the two smiling messengers and said, "My request cannot be refused. Florida, plus the Caribbean islands, especially Cuba. I need these colonies as war reparations. In addition to this, there is a ransom payment. Yes, ransom. Including the 20,000 ...... in my hands Oh, thirty thousand. ”

When William said this, the adjutant beside him bent down and reminded him in his ear, so William immediately changed his words.

Yes, yes, Florida, the Asturian rout in Florida has surrendered. Today, all of Florida is under William's control.

"What is this......" Hearing William say this, the other party couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Florida has no problem, and no one has ever thought that this colony, which is too close to Neo-Gothic, will be able to keep it.

The problem is the Caribbean islands. Today, the Caribbean islands are still under the control of Asturias and Visigoths, but their navies are still capable of fighting. It is a bit ...... to sell these colonies under such circumstances , a bit inappropriate.
