Chapter 110: The Last War
Pretty much that's it, the Imperial troops landed on the Briton Islands. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because it has the right to control the sea, so it has not been hindered in any way.
In the course of the landing, the Imperial Army suffered almost no losses.
Because they have no will to resist anymore
At least that's what the landed Imperial troops themselves thought.
The Visigoths have been swallowed up in their entirety. Thinking that there is nothing left in the world to stop them.
Yes, that's it.
Just land in a little bit, and you'll happily swallow them all.
Yes, for the vast majority of people, it was an armed march in which the Navy transported the land forces to the Briton Islands, and then they were able to annex the country.
Well, yes, that's it.
However.
Things are not as simple as they think.
When the Imperial Navy, as William put it, "blasted the Imperial Army like a cannonball" with more than 20,000 men, but did not meet any resistance, they were even more happy to think that this was the truth.
Yes, the Empire has become so powerful that who would dare to draw a sword against the Empire - to the Gothic Empire?
No, absolutely nothing.
With such a burst of self-confidence. The Imperial army marched forward happily, believing that their war would be an armed parade that was not too comfortable.
Even if they die, most of them will be due to illness or accidents. It is absolutely impossible to die as a result of the war.
Well, maybe it's in the triple digits.
As long as this is the case, we will be able to happily bring this huge Briton, which once became the world's largest power, into control.
Unlike for the countries of Asturias, which are treated in a way that blends slowly. The Empire's attitude towards Briton was very bad -- the Empire decided to leave the country alone -- the Empire decided to engage in a prolonged confrontation and hostility with this country --
This war is just the beginning. After asking the Britons to cede the land and pay reparations, the Empire decided to spare his life. Let him continue to exist.
The reason for this is not that William instantly changed to a vegetarian diet, or that he felt very happy when he snapped Victoria every night. Of course, it's not that the Empire doesn't have the ability to annex Briton right now.
rather, it's like the reason why the Empire put Asturian there and didn't swallow it up in the first place.
Now it has been annexed, it is happy, it has become the number one in the world, and it has become an empire that is unparalleled in the world. But what should be done next?
They were annexed by the Empire. He was pulled down from the throne of the world by the empire, and everything was taken away.
What will happen to them in this case?
They're going crazy with the same abomination of the Empire. There will be countless Britons who have sworn from birth to kill the Empire. Reinstatement. Desperately trying to destroy the empire.
They will do it.
And William is also very worried that they may really have this kind of strength.
After all, they're Britons.
A powerful empire that once annexed half the world. They have given birth to countless heroes and wise men. The best generals, admirals, scientists, politicians, diplomats, economists...... Everything is there.
In a sense, William feared them. Fear their potential.
Such a forcible annexation of a country will be hated by an entire nation, and it will have to pay a lot of stability maintenance costs, and at the same time, it will make countless excellent guys dig out their hearts and desperately want to destroy the empire.
In this way, in a matter of decades, if not centuries, Briton will become a bleeding wound. It makes the empire feel unusually uncomfortable, feels indigestion and feels depressed and wants to die.
In this case, William still decided to boil the frog in warm water.
This tactic has a similar feel to the treatment of Asturias. Unlike Asturias, which has fallen and does not seem to have any possible reverse. Briton is still extremely powerful.
Its colonies, its vast resources, its technology, and its tens of millions of people. It's good to live in this country very pleasantly.
This was true even in the case of hostility to the Gothic Empire.
So, in this case, the empire has to weaken his power, so that he will be like Asturias, doubting himself and giving up on himself, just like those pathetic fellows who thought that the moon was rounder in a foreign country and that their country was inferior to a man. Become a brain-dead fan of the empire.
In this case, the empire can slowly digest and absorb Britun.
In order to achieve this goal, it doesn't matter if the guys pay compensation or something. The Second German Reich, after its victory over Napoleon III, happily watched the French kill each other while demanding war reparations of five billion francs. The purpose is to crush France with heavy war reparations, so that the country can sink happily and cannot compete with itself.
However, it turned out that it didn't work for any eggs.
So, what William has to do is do this - use more advanced technology to crush.
Industry.
Technology.
industrial system.
With the land and population of Britain itself, it was impossible for them to maintain a modern industrial system.
Because the more advanced the industrial system, the more people are needed to carry out R&D, production, and maintenance. The higher the technology, the higher the need. There is a need for a larger educated population.
In this case, as long as the empire controls its own area, it can happily open a huge gap with the other party in terms of technology.
In this case, there is absolutely no way for the Bretons to resist.
Time is on the Empire's side.
So, the economy is also on the side of the empire.
When the Britons discovered that all the industrial products they had worked so hard to produce were inferior to those of the Empire, and when they discovered that they had painstakingly produced the first CRT television, the Empire had already used LCD screens. When they pulled out a Big Brother and declared it the greatest invention in the world, the Imperials were happily using the iPad.
In this case, what qualifications do the Britons have, what abilities do they have, and what pride do they have?
Even if the empire does not deliberately target them, they can no longer maintain their original privileged and decent life.
In this case, what else can they do but kneel and lick the empire?
In this case, there is no point in war.
It doesn't even matter if you don't digest and absorb it.
In William's mind, the conquest of the world was only a rudimentary goal.
He had a long life of hundreds of years. Enough world, enough earth for the tech tree to climb to the cosmic level.
When the time comes, an empire with enough population and enough technology will naturally be able to explore the universe happily. And without any strength, technology and industrial capacity, they are not as good as the Briton people of the empire, they are on the earth, and they can play happily with themselves.
If you think about it, it doesn't matter if you let them occupy the Briton Islands, or even some other land—or even give them the whole planet.
When the Goths occupy all the planets in the galaxy except Earth, what chance do the Britons have if they are still cowering on their home planet? What is there to be proud of?
The Empire can completely ignore these guys.
The space of the universe is infinite.
Even if you lose one or two planets, it's no problem.
When technology is sufficient, these things can be irrelevant.
William is now more and more satisfied with himself.
You can see things from a higher perspective. It was very pleasant for him......
In this case, it doesn't matter even if you receive the news that there has been a small defeat at the front and a lot of troops have been lost.
After the Gothic Empire was finally erected, there wasn't much more for William to do on the planet. In this case, Briton or something, can no longer stir his heartstrings.
At best, oh, lost. Hahaha, those guys at the front, arrogant. Now you've finally been slapped in the face, right?
And "Those Britons still have some skills." It is worthy of being the first in the world".
William now often looks at things from such a detached perspective.
Although this kind of problem is crucial for many others -
The Bretons were desperately trying to play up this victory as if they were going mad, and they needed a victory so badly to comfort their wounded hearts.
Relatedly, the Goths were thoroughly enraged. Soldiers, soldiers, ordinary people, media of public opinion.
All of them, they were furious.
They're goths. There is no one in the world who is as proud as they are. They are number one in the world, they are invincible, they are invincible.
And now, however, they have been defeated by a bunch of dregs who are dying!?
It's simply the biggest joke in the world.
All of them couldn't stand it.
Although, in reality, it was the Reich that took the initiative to attack Briton by crossing the sea. But no one cares about this anymore.
The Bretons were filled with a strong sense of revenge. Expect to be able to beat this evil country to the ground and then step on 10,000 feet.
This is the result of the Bretons' struggle, and their fate is all the more tragic.
...... When hundreds of years -- well, it doesn't really take that long. It only takes a few decades.
Decades later, the new generation of Britons didn't understand what those old people thought, why they had the audacity to stand up to such a behemoth as the Gothic Empire, and they were crazy?
Ideas like this are endless. At the same time, this statement is very popular:
If Briton had surrendered without resistance at that time, it might have been better for Brithorn.
After hearing about this public opinion, William, who was already in his eighties at the time, but still looked like a young man in his twenties, smiled happily.
It seems that the training of the Britons seems to have been successful.
Maybe it won't be long before I don't have to worry about the Briton people at all.
