The news of King Otto's comeback instantly ignited the upper echelons of the entire human world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Countless people are eager to know why he made a comeback at this time, why he became the de facto control of the prison state during the time of William's expedition, that is, Russia-Gothic, a new and powerful state.

Did he defeat his son William von Hereford in a political struggle?

It's all exciting, and it's all exciting to know what to do. In particular, when you think about it, this kind of true thinking is likely to lead to political turmoil in the entire human world. And in this kind of political turmoil, you, your own family and your own country may be able to get more benefits. It was only very soon that these people realized that they were wrong.

The Hereford family is still the Hereford family, and the empire is still the empire. The strength of the Russian-Gothic Empire, with Otto von Hereford, was not compromised, but, on the contrary, became stronger.

This is also William's favorite model, one leads the external development, and the other stabilizes the overall situation in the center. Originally, before this, he had to be afraid to go south to Ruthenia, and before going to Westphalia to participate in the peace conference, he had to prepare everything in advance. It's all very much a headache.

It's not that the people William is looking for can't. In fact, William believes that the cabinet he has set up and the various executive departments he has set up are already the most formal government institutions in the world. With the massive spread of the differential machine, the administrative efficiency of the empire could even surpass that of the Briton Kingdom, which was the first to carry out reforms.

It's just that it doesn't work. In addition to administrative efficiency and competence, there is another thing that is crucial. That is the stability of the empire. The stability of the empire is one of the most important things for the empire. For the time being, it seems that the empire is unable to adopt a democratic system, that is, it is unable to use a democratically elected prime minister to stabilize the political situation. In this case, a very capable, and very prestigious, king, or lord, who can control the field is crucial.

Before that, William had played this role on his own. This meant that he would not be able to leave the center for a long time. In this way, there will be a very inconvenient situation, which makes William feel all kinds of unpleasant.

The appearance of Prince Otto von Hereford, who has sufficient prestige and status, has completely made up for this shortcoming. In this way, the empire can finally move forward completely and with peace of mind.

As for what is the reason for the old king, he gave up his differences with his son and chose to go back to the mountain......

Many, many people have countless stories in their hearts. Many, many people see this as a symbol of the power struggle within the Hereford family. And now, it seems, this time the power struggle ended with a compromise between William and Otto.

This has made many people very excited.

Compared with the fierce, young and enterprising William, who was gentle and respectful of tradition, the older Otto von Hereford was closer to their ideal monarch. If King Otto - no, now Prince Otto.

If Prince Otto could replace William as the most powerful man in the country, then life would be much better for the rest of them.

As for whether Prince Otto wants to ascend to the throne, the vast majority of people believe that Prince Otto wants to.

Because now, if you look at the map, you can see how terrible the Russian-Gothic Empire has swelled today.

It owns the entire kingdom of Wende, owns the whole of Bolotsk, owns the entire Slavic world except for the Crimean peninsula, and also owns the Central and Northern Regions of the small imperial states, including Magdeburg.

It can be said that, with the exception of the Carpathian Kingdom, the entire Great Frontier region is under the control of the Hereford family. Such a powerful state has comprehensively surpassed the centaur Matartarya Khanate, which once made humanity tremble and fear.

At that time, Tartaria's population, army, territory, and rulers were all inferior to the current Russia-Gothic Empire of the Hereford family. However, even then, it is still a great problem for mankind.

If, in this age of gunpowder and line infantry, the nomadic empire or something is a little outdated, then the other enemy of humanity in the south. The dark elves lost to the Herefords, but the Russian-Gothic Empire made one thing clear.

That is the strength of the Empire's army.

Although today, the Britons who have won the sectarian war claim to be the First Army Nation. But in fact, everyone thinks that a country with a peerless general like William and an unstoppable elite force like the Praetorian Guard is the first army power.

In such a situation, the power that the Empire has, the territory that the Empire has, the army of the Empire is enough to terrify any opponent. Especially now the Britons, who now consider themselves to have integrated the Ostrogothic Empire and become the most powerful country in the human world.

True, they have the world's largest navy and naval power. It had the world's largest industrial power, as well as financial power, both of which were quickly equaled by the rapid rise of the Russian-Gothic Empire.

But on the side of the Army, they are still scared and afraid.

Briton's generals had pondered several times what would happen after the outbreak of war with the Russian-Gothic Empire. And the results are always frustrating, even the most confident generals do not think that they can defeat this empire on land, and it is already the best result to fight.

And for a country as large as the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire, even a naval blockade would not have much effect. Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Reich's Polotsk Sea Fleet was not too weak. If these guys really go to fight, then relying on the terrain and the advantage of the port, it will still be difficult to win. If one accidentally lets the other party defeat, then the fun will be great.

Thinking so in their hearts, these generals were a little frustrated. And after they told their boss about the frustrating conclusions and results, that is, Victoria, Victoria naturally felt very unhappy and uncomfortable.

What is this? Are you really victorious? Are you really the ruler of this world? So why are you facing this dilemma?

However, if this guy had met the European monarchs of William's previous life, and knew the anger, jealousy, and despair they had when they looked at Russia, then she would probably have understood what it was.

This kind of anger and helplessness can only appear in a country with such a vast territory and such a huge strategic depth. Not to mention, the current Hereford family, its imperial structure, productivity, technology, and military level are much better than that of the Russian Empire.

Under these circumstances, the Britons also had to start a series of new reforms.

In addition to phasing out arquebuses and extra-long guns on a larger scale, making more flintlock pistols and bayonets, and building more private units, there were more important reforms to the military system.

After a lot of war, the Bretons finally realized that the era of mercenaries was over. More and more generals, more and more military scientists believe that Briton should form more standing armies. It stands to reason that these standing armies can't spend too much money, and it's also natural that these guys had better not affect the order of domestic production and life.

Under these circumstances, something "wonderful" happened with Briton's military reform.

One of them is that good people can't be special soldiers.

Although the military system obliged everyone to shed blood for the king, in reality, the vast majority of military recruiters preferred to go to the slums where nothing had to do and arrest scoundrels, hooligans, and so on, and let them serve as soldiers.

This is very different from China's military system. Chinese military strategists have always believed that honest peasants or organized miners are the best soldiers. As for the ruffians or something, these guys don't want it at all......

However, it is a pity that the eastern countries with an army of honest men cannot do Europa, which is a ruffian as a soldier.

"It all comes down to training your mouth. The generals said this very lightly - strict training, strict training, super strict training, whips, boots, sticks, corporal punishment, only in this way, with training and discipline, can these scumbags be trained into elite soldiers.

What?

It's okay, take a beating.

What? The other party is a scoundrel?

It's okay, just give it a beating.

What?

Then go ahead and beat him.

That's basically it, the elite troops of the West, this is how they are made up of hooligans...... This situation lasted until the Napoleonic Wars, when compulsory military service was popularized, and the unparalleled France was able to pull out several times more troops than the other side in an instant, or even more, that everyone suddenly woke up.

Oh, and the war can still be fought like this.

That's pretty much it, and now Briton is at the stage of using scum as an army.

In addition, there is another surprising thing, which is the military contracting system.

Those guys in the army department seem to treat the army as a kind of business. As long as you give enough money, you can become the head of the regiment. Then receive a sum of money that will never be enough.

All the weapons and equipment had to be figured out by the infantry commander himself. And the other officers in the regiment have to figure it out on their own. Even the military uniform has to be figured out by yourself.

Those infantry commanders who also treat the army as a business will naturally find ways to deduct this hard-won military salary. Give his troops the most rubbish weapons, the worst quality uniforms, and so on. But at the same time, there are also some guys who want to make a difference, and even pay out of their own pockets to buy better weapons for their subordinates.

In fact, there are a little more of the latter than the former. The aristocracy paid more attention to martial arts. And martial arts are naturally linked to the property and status of the nobles. A guy who can expand his territory abroad can naturally rob and annex territory abroad. Compared with the wealth obtained by robbery and land grabbing, the small amount of money that is deducted from military salaries is a drizzle.
