That's it, even an immortal genius like William had to bow his noble head in the face of reality. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The Hereford family is not ready. Yes, although before that, William ran literacy classes in the army, opened public colleges in various places, and increased university enrollment. The world has scooped up all kinds of scholars......

But it's still not enough. In order to create the efficient modern government he had in mind, these two people would fill up at most one Livonia...... Or a Shilonsk, which is barely enough. So after much deliberation, William had to make a hehe decision - he would continue to keep the Grand Duchy of Livonia. Dietrich was allowed to continue to maintain his entire administrative system.

Between the Grand Duke of Livonia and King Wende, the traditional and ancient feudal system and obligations would continue to be maintained. Until the situation is right, then swallow Livonia into the belly.

"It's just that in this way, I don't know what year and month I will have to wait until it will be completed. William couldn't help but sigh.

Livonia is also a good place, with a long and narrow coastline and a thriving shipbuilding and seafaring trade. Especially with this piece of territory, the Hereford family is one step closer to the Atlantic. Only a sea power can be a colonial power, a colonial power can be a world power, a world power can control the whole world, control the whole world can have endless money, and only when there is endless money can it become strong, and when it becomes very strong, there will be endless money......

It's a very simple logic, in the sense that it can be said to be the truth, well, yes, money, power, status, truth. Very fun and very enjoyable, that's it...... William was in this circle.

"You've done a great job, William, don't be too yourself. Looking at William, he frowned, looking discouraged. King Otto, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said so.

"yes...... I've done a great job...... Hehe. William shook his head, sighed uncontrollably, and then tilted his head.

I still don't get ready, or I still don't have enough experience. Although there was already experience in the invasion and occupation of Novgorod and the Neo-Gothic colony before that. But there has never been anything like this before, annexing two grand duchies in one go, and occupying an entire kingdom. Therefore, it seems that my lack of preparation is not something to be surprised about.

In fact, if you follow the basic calculations, William should have at least two to three more years of preparation to accumulate more available talent. At the same time, continue to infiltrate and intervene in the territory of the two grand principalities, and wait until everything is settled, and then accept their spoils naturally.

And now.

The reign of the Hereford family in Mystia did not last even five years. In Novgorod and Turov, it was also necessary to expend a certain amount of force to guard and even suppress it. In fact, the Hereford family was really unprepared.

In fact, William himself knows this......

It's just still not satisfied.

Yes, still not satisfied. Dissatisfied. His strength is still too weak. William had an idea that if it was Victoria who did this, then she would be absolutely fine. She will conjure up a sufficient number of administrators, troops, resources, and money like a magic spell, and absorb all the benefits of the Wende Kingdom in the shortest possible time, and finally take it all for herself.

"In the final analysis, it's because of my own lack of strength. ”

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but sigh, and King Otto was very distressed - not what William thought. The fact that they had not seen each other for more than two years did not make King Otto feel bad about William, but in fact it was the opposite. King Otto was not a good king, but he was a very good father. For more than two years, he saw everything William did. And quite moved, even said guilty.

Why did William do this? Not for his country and his family. Yes, William worked for the prosperity of the Hereford family, and these things should have been done by him, the head of the Hereford family, William's father. But because King Otto is completely incapable of doing these things well, all this, reviving the family, increasing power and power, etc., etc...... All the blame fell on William.

This made King Otto quite unhappy. He felt he owed William, and not just a little. He even sometimes seriously pondered whether he should declare seclusion and pass on his throne to his son.

But after a little thought, he decided that it was not a good idea - mainly with his sister Freya, of course. Freya didn't think it was a good idea. Because there are only four people in the entire Hereford family, each of them is precious. The abdication of King Otto's behavior in seclusion seems to be for the good of his son, but in fact it is another manifestation of irresponsibility.

King Otto felt that she was right, that he was in good health and that he was about to be forty years old and at the peak of his life. He is young and experienced, and his body and brain are at their peak. If you retire under such circumstances, it really doesn't look like it.

So King Otto abandoned the idea. Then, he sees himself as a guard, or a temporary replacement. He was guarding the family's wealth for his son. That's pretty much it.

The presence of King Otto is still relevant. At least for the time being, William did not have enough prestige to guard such a large family business.

King Otto may have been naïve in his statecraft. But King Otto's personal strength and command ability were still unmatched. In the previous battle against King Henry, William personally watched his father King Otto command the four legions under his command, which was almost like a finger, as if he commanded an army of forty or fifty thousand, unfolded it, and then overturned the opposing army of twenty thousand to the ground like a devastation.

William was stunned when he saw this scene - it was simply art. King Otto's commanding art is breathtaking.

William himself had calculated that if he was to command this battle, then he would definitely win. But it could never have been as beautiful as King Otto's command.

This made William somewhat discouraged...... Yes, even with such hard work, his command ability is still not as good as his father's.

However, William can also comfort himself, using the way of adding points to explain that William is an average plus point. And King Otto is the limit plus. It is also natural that he cannot compare to King Otto......

In this way, King Otto is still the most capable and eager member of the Hereford family, and there is still no one in the Hereford family to take his place.

Especially now.

This war that affects the entire human world has just begun, a large-scale war, and this is the stage for an excellent commander to show his skills. Think about how much the Hereford family would gain in this war if they had such a good general. William was thrilled.

But of course, before that, the Hereford family needed a goal, a better strategy, diplomacy, domestic affairs, economics and logistics...... Of course, these things are William's job.

"So be it. Thinking of this, William sighed and put these things behind him for the time being. At the same time as they were rounding this matter, the 3rd Guards Regiment of the Hereford family had completed the suppression of the entire city of Wroclaw. Inside and outside the city, a large number of silent and chaotic scum have been cleared. Then, it was time for the Legion to systematically carry out the activities of robbery.

Despite the fact that the really rich guys are out of town, the wealth that Wroclaw has amassed is still amazing. The guys who entered the city frowned one by one, fantasizing about how much they could get in this money. And what does this money represent.

And so, the herald who had come to the room to report to the two kings, and to the Duchess of Tver, did not look very good--although according to the existing law of army robbery, whether he entered the city or not, he would have his share of the spoils, but he was still a little unhappy not to be able to see the finances with his own eyes and experience the joy of robbery.

"And what about His Majesty?" asked William.

"Your Majesty?" the herald was stunned, and then he realized who William was talking about.

"His Majesty Henry is still in the palace, and he has no intention of coming out. ”

"Hmm...... That's right. William nodded: "This is a little troublesome." Wouldn't it be a bit bad if we were to 'ask' His Majesty to leave?" asked William, turning his head to his father and aunt.

This question baffled Duke Otto, and he just wanted to reply, as he had done before: "William, you can just watch this kind of thing," but Duchess Freya, who was beside him, opened his mouth:

"Of course it's a bit bad. In any case, the Trieste family was a famous nobleman of the empire. It is not correct to treat them harshly, or even to say that they are killed. ”

"So what. William then asked with great interest, "What do you think should be done?"

"......" Hearing William ask, Freya frowned. To be honest, she really didn't think about it.

"What if...... Well......" Freya thought for a moment, then replied, "It would be great if he could get out of the city on his own." ”

"If he really was so 'smart', we wouldn't be so distressed. William shrugged: "Actually, I've given him enough opportunities before this. If he wanted to go, he would have left long ago. The order has been given from top to bottom of the army - if that guy leaves, we won't have anything to stop us. But ......"

"Hmm...... That's right. Freya frowned, and then didn't know what to say for a moment.
