"It's strange, if only one day I could go to the Far East and see the land of dragons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "William thought so in his heart, and more than once.

Before this, he had already noticed that this world could be regarded as an earth-like world, and the size of the planet was about the same as that of the earth. Even the setting of the continent is similar, the only difference is that a lot of fantasy elements have been added.

Excluding these fantasy elements that do not occupy the mainstream, this world has a lot of connections with the original earth, in most places such as geography, humanities, environment and nature. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a parallel world of the Earth.

And in all this correspondence. The vast Dragon Empire in the Far East corresponds to China on Earth in William's previous life.

And as soon as he thought of this, William's heart throbbed a little.

Of course, he has also eaten and seen so many things. Naturally, it was impossible to be excited, like something, to put down his empire and go directly to the Far East, to the land of dragons, without caring about anything.

After all, this kingdom is just like, similar, similar. In fact, it is not really the mother country of the previous life that he had been haunted by once upon a time.

"But if I really have the chance, I want to check it out. William thought to himself.

That's it, let's leave this matter aside for the time being. The empire is currently in a state of flux.

To increase the population, in addition to encouraging childbearing, there is also a policy to encourage immigration. William, of course, remembered the human beacon of hope in his previous life. Once upon a time, the country was just scum. Although the territory is very large, it is very desolate, whether it is technology, culture, military education, etc., it is all scum.

More importantly, there is a huge amount of land, but the number of people is very small.

If natural growth is relied on alone, then even if the small population at the beginning of the founding of the Hope Nation were to take measures to encourage childbearing, so that people would be like rabbits desperately giving birth, it would definitely not be possible to give birth to the most powerful empire in the world later.

It uses a policy of encouraging immigration.

If anyone in the book has played a game called Victoria 2, you can understand how terrible the country of hope really is. And how strong is the country's policy of attracting immigrants?

And it's the same in the real world. Compared with the old continent, which was in turmoil, it was relatively stable, and the vast and rich New World was simply a paradise. With the help of numerous wars, the Hope Kingdom attracted talents from various countries in the Old World eventually helped the country become the most powerful and technologically advanced empire in the world.

Of course, in this world, the fabled hope of humanity is gone. Just after launching a rebellion, he was strangled in infancy by William. The revolutionary forefathers, the great pioneers of independence, the founding fathers and pioneers, were all happily hung by William and his white army.

Nowadays, the situation in the New World is very stable, and the New Gothic colonies and the Briton colonies are stable and prosperous in agriculture, and the scenery is idyllic and refreshing.

It is precisely for this reason that in such a big war, the number of refugees who went to the colony became not as large as Zhang Cheng imagined. The vast majority of these refugees eventually regarded William's Russo-Gothic Empire as the first and highest priority. This made William feel very happy.

Then, a series of policies to encourage immigration, especially skilled migration, made the Russian-Gothic Empire the largest population inflow country in the world. Of course, that's all there is to it so far.

Although the Russian-Gothic Empire was blessed with all kinds of good. The problem, however, is that the stereotype of the Great Frontier region has not been dispelled. William wants to wait until more people take the initiative to come to the big border area and become his people, and even like in his previous life, a large number of people take the green card of the country of hope as their lifelong goal, and even do not hesitate to sell their children or something, which is a pleasant thing.

Although this is also very difficult.

That's it, after a little thought, William put this matter behind him. Then I started thinking about other things.

From the group of countries ruled by the Heriford family to the Russian-Gothic Empire, a large number of affairs were waiting for William to operate and deal with. So he spends very little time on specific matters. At the same time, he doesn't have that much time to talk nonsense with people. Therefore, when explaining tasks and orders to subordinates, it is necessary to set a standard time. If the other party exceeded the standard time, then no matter what else was important, William would order him to go out first and wait until the next wave.

This coercive order greatly hastened the efficiency of the Imperial Government, as if someone were whipping them, and the Imperial Government was moving as quickly as if it had been wound up.

At the same time, the Hereford family's plan for training the Praetorian Guard had been completed.

The original Russian Janissaries and the Polotsk Praetorian Guards were to be reorganized into the Imperial Praetorian Guard. At the same time, the Reich will create a new Sixth Praetorian Guard Legion, as well as raise two separate cavalry brigades to divisions. In this way, the main force of the empire has eight corps-level units.

At the same time, the Empire will reorganize the corps, increase the number of infantry regiments to six, and the number of cavalry regiments to three, strengthen the artillery, and officially expand the combat engineering unit into an engineer regiment.

In this way, a reorganized corps will have eleven regimental combat units. These regiments will be reorganized into three brigades, two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade in a three-regiment system.

The reorganized corps would have more than nine thousand infantry, three thousand cavalry, more than one hundred and fifty Napoleonic guns of both models, sixty in total, three-pounder cavalry guns attached to the cavalry brigade, and more than a thousand engineers.

An integrated corps would have more than 15,000 officers and infantry.

And the two cavalry brigades, which have been upgraded to the division level, will add two additional Cossack cavalry regiments, as well as a light cavalry regiment. The amazing, extremely combat-effective lancers, finally because of the difficulty of training, did not add a regimental number. In contrast to it were the pistol cavalry. The pistol cavalry battalion, originally armed with revolvers, was expanded into regiments.

William was very chicken thief and defined this regiment as a "light cavalry regiment", which must have been terrifying in the course of the battle.

In total, there were two cuirassier regiments, a hussar regiment, a "hussar regiment" with two Cossack cavalry regiments, as well as a lancer battalion that had to be reorganized into reinforced battalions, two cavalry artillery battalions with forty cavalry guns. Each cavalry division has a strength of 7,000 troops, and already has an independent combat capability.

These men would be William's rule over the vast Slavic world, as well as over the Cuman-Kipchak steppes, and at the same time the spearhead of the expansion into the Uzbek Khanate to the east.

With a total of more than 100,000 men and six legions and two cavalry divisions, the Imperial Army would be the most powerful military force in the Old World.

With the laying of the Empire's railway network, such a powerful force will appear in any corner of the Empire as quickly as possible and in the shortest time, crushing the attack of any enemy or the rebellion of any foolish man.

Then, it should be noted that although these 100,000 troops are the registered armed forces of the Empire, if anyone thinks that the Empire only has these 100,000 troops, then he is very wrong.

The Hereford family, who have now established a basic militia and can forcibly recruit soldiers into the army anytime and anywhere, can theoretically expand their army to half a million or more in a short period of time.

Of course, the armament of these 500,000 troops is very debatable.

But William was reassured - his army, no matter how bad its weaponry, would never be worse than that of Tsarist Russia during the First World War.

At least William could guarantee that each soldier was assigned a flintlock pistol, and then a bayonet. It will not be like Tsarist Russia in the First World War, which does not even have all the weapons and equipment. They can even get a couple of grenades with wooden handles!

In addition to these 500,000 troops, William had another trump card.

This trump card is the Cossacks under his command. Under the efforts of the Reich, and of course more importantly, under the deterrence of the Reich's soldiers, the number of registered Cossacks grew. The leader of a large number of steppe nomads accepted William's canonization and became a Cossack hetman, and then took on the titles of battalion commander, regiment commander, and even brigade commander.

Theoretically, the empire now has twenty Cossack cavalry brigades, and if these cavalry brigades are all full, then William's command can recruit more than 50,000 steppe cavalry.

Of course, this is only theoretical. In fact, the Cossack cavalry that William was able to pull out was already quite remarkable, with 20,000 men.

The Cuman-Kipchak steppes still roam the steppes with a large number of neutral, or inclined to the Hereford family, but who do not want to be canonized and become more dependent on the empire Cossack hetman.

Just think about it, because no ruler had ever treated these steppe nomadic tribes like this before.

Even the great, terrible, mighty Sarida Khan was the same.

The khans of the steppes usually ruled the region in a tribal confederation system. When there is something to do, these armies are called up to fight, and when there is nothing to do, let it go, and love is good.

They're used to having the final say on their own turf. Therefore, although the Cossack system still had a high degree of autonomy compared to the other groups of people under William's management, for them, this Cossack system was still difficult to accept.

Of course, William believed that as the power of the empire in the steppes grew, and as the pressure mounted, it was only natural that more and more bastards would either elated or "gleefully" join the ranks of the Cossacks.

If they don't want to die.
