317.Chapter 317: Take the initiative

That's the way it is. www.biquge.info After this, William would use these armies as guides and then attack their tribes, defeat the damned tribal chiefs, and save and liberate the poor and ignorant common people in the tribe. William believes the process will last between two and five years. and to reduce the population of the Cherokees, who were comparable to the colonists in the Southern colonies, by at least 30 percent.

In the process, he will continue to encourage immigrants to the New World. And rightfully so, William believed, the situation in the Gothic Empire would get worse. Therefore, the spontaneous migration of the Goths to the New World will not stop. Unlike before, they now have a better option. That is, the neo-Gothic colony.

They no longer need to force their descendants to learn Britun, nor do they need to be oppressed and exploited by foreign races. Because now, there are people in their own country who exploit and oppress them. What else are they not satisfied with?

With a two-pronged approach, William believed that no more than a third of the Cherokee population would eventually integrate into the colony.

Despite this, the Cherokees are still the number one race in the land, with the exception of the Goths, and their numbers are still very impressive, even threatening. However, compared to the previous one, it has reached the same number of people as the colonists. A third is already very good.

What's more, after that, William will continue to expand his colony. In the north, the land of the Britons could not be taken for the time being. But once they crossed the Appalachian Mountains and entered the Great Plains, they would take on the Visigothic colony of sparsely populated Louisiana. Then, advance to the vast, rich Great Plains. Finally, there are the Rocky Mountains and the west coast of the New World.

In the process, more Indian tribes would join William's army, just like the Cherokees. Of course, they will be divided into different ethnic groups, perhaps hundreds, even hundreds, or even thousands, according to their own customs and habits that do not differ much. William would never have allowed a unified, Indian idea to be established. In its place, there will be massive, meaningless ethnic divisions.

He needs these people to be a mess. If you can, hate each other again. In this way, the likelihood that these guys will betray is greatly reduced. And even if they do betray, the damage will not be too much.

Eventually, these Indians would be fully integrated into William's great Neo-Gothic Empire - and if necessary, Wilhelm would move the center of his kingdom into the New World during his lifetime. Establish a New Gothic Empire - If in the end, his plans for a New Gothic Empire in the Old World do not succeed, then the Second Gothic Empire in the New World will be launched as an alternative.

William would send his colonists and expeditions all the way east, through all of Siberia, eventually across the Bering Strait, into the Yukon, and then take the entire northern part of the New World under his control. Form a brand new Northern Empire that controls three-quarters of the northern part of the planet.

"That's it. Or the Ostrogothic Empire - the Visigothic Kingdom - Asturias, the Gothic Empire that encompassed the entire range of classical Gothic peoples. Or the Neo-Gothic Empire, which included the Kingdom of Wend, the Kingdom of Russia, Siberia, and the northern part of the New World. Whichever goal you achieve. I will leave a huge kingdom for my family that is unique in the world. At the same time, my prestige and accomplishments will rise above all of them, all of them, all monarchs and rulers of all ages. Whether it was Alexander, Octavian or Charlemagne. ”

The thought of this possibility makes William very excited, and he is so excited that he can't be more excited. There are two things that are absolutely exciting for men, the conquest of land, or the conquest of women. Men derive unimaginable pleasure and fulfillment from these two forms of conquest.

But, of course, whether it's a big brother or a new goth. Whatever William wanted to achieve. He will face no shortage of challenges. As if for now, his opponents, the Visigoths and the 50,000-strong expeditionary army of Asturias, were approaching. William had to defeat them, or his so-called "backup plan" would be ineffective. What will rise in the rich and vast lands of the New World in the future will not be a great Gothic nation, but a united kingdom of impudent mongrels of mixed blood.

That's it.

It's just that William and Victoria have different tactical plans for what kind of battle the coalition should take next.

"My plan is that we need to be the first to strike. Victoria said, "We should attack Florida first." If they can control the land there, they will not be able to find a safe landing site. They may risk engaging our fleet and force their landing. Or head to the Louisiana region, land there, and climb over the Appalachian Mountains.

As a result, they need to waste more time, materials and energy. After they have crossed the mountains, we can attack them with ease. ”

Victoria looked confident, and that confidence made William want to laugh. This guy doesn't look like a fool who could go wrong with leading an army of 50,000 to suppress the guerrillas before. Instead, he is like an invincible general.

"That can't be. So, William said, "We don't have that much time, and we don't have that many troops. Although there are not many garrisons in Florida, the coastline of Florida is too long. There are also too many good ports for landing. We can't knock them all down in too little time.

The Visigothic and Asturian forces that chose to land were navy ships on ships. Their mobility is much better than ours. We're going to be exhausted. In addition, for each port city we breached, we had to leave enough troops behind to prevent the other side from landing. Our forces will be dispersed as a result. And such scattered forces were not enough to deal with the landing operation of 50,000 troops.

So, the conclusion is, we will fail. We don't have as many troops as the enemy, and if we mess around like this, we will definitely fail. ”

"......" said that the trick he thought of was mercilessly denied by the protagonist Succubus. This upset Victoria. But in the end, Victoria decided to give William a word about what to do. After all, she is not very good at military affairs. She knows that, too. Not everyone in this world is perverted like William, as if there is nothing in the world that he will not do.

"The key point of this war is not on land, but on the sea. So William said: "The territory of the Viceroyalty of New Asturias is too large. We simply can't, and don't have enough troops, to take all of New Asturias under our control. We also don't have enough troops to defend our entire coastline.

So, instead of fortifying the coastline layer by layer. We might as well drive our fleet out. To strike at the opponent's transport fleet, to strike at the opponent's supply fleet. Just as before this, the Asturians and Visigoths attacked our supply fleet. ”

"In other words, the main force in this war is our Britons?" Hearing William say this, Victoria was a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, in the vast new world, the impact of a hundred defeats on land is not as great as the impact of one defeat on the seas - if we can gain an advantage in naval warfare, then there is nothing the other side can do. William said: "I strongly urge that Briton's fleet be sent out to the Caribbean in search of the opposing expeditionary fleet. If you can, catch them all. Even if you can't, limit their movements. If we can do that, then half the battle on land will be won. ”

"Do you want us to blockade the entire Florida coast so that the other side can't land? If that's the case, then the other side can only land somewhere else, and then go all the way—"

"It's difficult. "The Gulf of Mexico is so big that even the colonial empire of Asturias in its heyday was not able to completely control it," William said. Our current fleet has only a slight advantage over the enemy's. But this advantage is not very great. William said:

"Eventually, there's a good chance they'll land in Florida. All I ask is to make them more tired and logistically more difficult to resupply - an army of 50,000 men would need an astronomical amount of supplies, and Florida alone would never be able to supply it. Even the entire New World colonies of Asturias and Visigothic had no choice.

Sea freight is their only way. And with the right to control the sea, we can gain the greatest advantage. ”

"I need your fleet. After a moment's thought, Victoria admitted that William was right. But then she also made her own request: "I need your expeditionary fleet." I need them to form an alliance with my fleet. In addition to this, I want the joint command of the coalition forces. ”

"The expeditionary fleet can give it to you. But my navy must have independent command. William said unmoved.

That's it, the two looked at each other for a while, and in the end, Victoria backed down.

"Well, they will have independent command. But if this interferes with my navy, or even affects the outcome of this war, you will be fully responsible. ”

"I accept. William said calmly.

So, the deal was struck.
