"Yes, normal people would not intervene in this kind of war at such a time and work for others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Elise's resentment is still great.

After this, William finally couldn't take it anymore: "You don't always have to be so weird, Elise? But things are not what you think. ”

Hearing William say this, Elise seemed to be even more angry. She stood up, crossed her hands on her hips, looked at William, and said word by word:

"The thing is, less than a month after marrying me, my husband didn't even spend his honeymoon, and he traveled thousands of miles with his army to another continent to fight for another woman. ”

"So I said it, it's not what you think - I'm not intimate with that woman at all, and she did it to pretend to show you, to make you angry. William had some helpless excuses.

Yes, on the fourth day of the garrison in Charleston, Victoria came here with a battalion of Briton Company soldiers. She brought with her an update on the situation in the northern theater, letters of complaint from some of the Britons, and an update on the Visigothic army preparing to attack William's army.

There is basically no new information about the northern battlefield. It's all the ones William has already heard and vomited.

"Our army is winning", "Where is our army, how many enemies have been annihilated", "Our army has recaptured a certain large city"

Yes, a significant victory, the number of enemies annihilated, the capture of cities.

If this had been a war in the Old World, William would have been both excited and uneasy. The reason for the exhilaration: the friendly forces have won. The reason for the unrest is that it is the friendly forces that win.

In the New World, though, it all makes no sense.

As I said before, the Briton army could not be taken and garrisoned in the vast countryside. In fact, they couldn't hold that much territory. And the leader of the rebels, Mr. George, is a slippery enemy. His command skills are barely top-notch. But the ability to "maneuver" is absolutely superb. It can even be said to be proud of the world. Among the many celebrities of the same era, he was among the best.

Therefore, no matter how many victories the Bretons had, they could not achieve the final victory. On the contrary, as the rebels continue to move in a piecemeal manner, their numbers will continue to decrease. Eventually, it was reduced to the point where it had to give up more land and hold on to it completely. Then, the rebels will occupy the land they have abandoned, and so on and so forth, and so on, and so on. Until the Briton Expeditionary Force was completely crushed.

"So there's no point, you have to find a way to control the colony's inhabitants - and that's what I'm going to succeed in. And easily 'conquered' the reason for a colonial state. William said to Victoria:

"My army is less than one-fifth of yours. But I was able to deploy more troops to important battles. I have a relatively stable big rear. This is all because I have implemented the right propaganda and strategy against the colonists. ”

Of course, William's words could not convince Victoria. This brings us to the second thing that Victoria brought with us. Letter of complaint from the Briton people.

As I said before, the local Britons - whether they lean towards Briton itself or the rebels of the American Republic. Their top personnel are often inextricably linked to the local area. In this case, they could easily get through some of the ways and get the word to Victoria.

Those were all testimonies that were unfavorable to William.

William plundered their possessions, and William was stirring up the Goths against the Britons. William took possession of the property belonging to Briton and wanted more ......

Of course, Victoria would be dissatisfied with William because of this.

"Do you know that my army has a lot of opinions about you these days. Many people even feel that you are more harmful to the colonies of the Thirteen States than the rebels. ”

In the face of Victoria's cross-examination, William did not back down, nor did he feel empty at all:

"Don't forget our agreement!" said William to Victoria, "I'll help you put down the rebellion." In return, I'm going to get six colonial states in the South.

Everything I did was done according to our agreement! I helped you fight the war and wiped out tens of thousands of rebels. It also helped you stabilize 100,000 colonists who could join the rebels. The benefits I get are only part of our agreement!"

"But......" Victoria still felt very uncomfortable.

She protested again, only this time, speaking in a tone less impulsive than before: "Our agreement does not include the distribution of property on these lands. Those are Bretons!"

"Those are the Breton traitors, and at the same time the inhabitants of my colony. William still had no room to relent: "I deal with the traitors of Briton, and I deal with the colonists." Do you think there's anything wrong with that?"

......In this way, William and Victoria's reunion ended in an unhappy end. Victoria was so angry that she even wanted to walk away, and then let the Visigothic army wipe out William's poor nine thousand soldiers.

In the end, though, Victoria didn't do it. She was very sensible the next day, and told William the news of the Visigoths. At the same time, he completely ignored William's bitter cynicism.

"You have to fight two enemies. One is the coalition of the rebels with the Visigoths. The other is the government and parliament of Briton itself. The latter is even more dangerous. This time, you can tell from the fact that you're going to trouble me for the rebels. ”

William tried to make his tone more sincere, but unfortunately he couldn't: "You see, they are still connected. You're still willing to fight against me even for their benefit. So what does that mean? You know better than I do. ”

"......" Victoria glared at William without saying a word, and although she wanted to refute William's words, she couldn't say anything.

"Briton is a behemoth, and most people are in awe of her. You can even use her to call yourself another queen of Breton.

But remember, Her Majesty. Only the strongest, most iron-fisted, and most clever leader can control her country completely according to her own will. And more often than not, the ruler who is not good enough, not clever enough, not good enough, has to compromise - to her vassals, to her cabinet, to her parliament, to her capitalists.

Of course, that includes the rebels. In a sense, they are still part of the Briton...... Take care of yourself. Also, stay away from me, I've got enough trouble, and if there is a political struggle within Briton or something, just spare me, and forgive me no accompaniment—I'm already doing a job for you, don't give me a second one. ”

That's pretty much it, after that, Victoria really didn't come to trouble William because of this kind of thing. At the same time, the expeditionary force's policy toward the colonies of the thirteen states also began to change.

Victoria didn't seem to want much to distribute to the colony's subjects. Despite the exemption from taxes, allegiance to the kingdom, and the concept of loyalty, they did not preach less. But at the same time, more often than not, the expeditionary force preferred to deter the enemy with a large number of gallows, as well as concentrated shooting.

The scope of their war spread to ordinary villages.

The rules are simple. If the soldiers are attacked by small groups within the confines of the village, that is, by guerrillas, then the local villages must be called upon for help.

Either to provide shelter for the partisans, or to provide intelligence services - if refused, or perfunctory, then the expeditionary force would replace it with the heads of local villages.

As many guerrillas are attacked, as many guerrillas are killed. If the number of partisan members is insufficient, local village dwellers are used instead.

Moreover, there is a limit to the number of times this "mild" move can be made.

It's no more than three.

If a village is attacked three times in a row, the expeditionary force will politely kill everyone in the local village. They were hanged, and their bodies hung on the side of the road, for the crows to peck at.

When Victoria pursued this policy, there was a strong protest from a large number of officers of the expeditionary force. In the end, however, Victoria used coercive means to carry out this policy.

As for whether this policy will be successful, let's wait and see.

More or less that, Victoria did not discuss the issue with William to any degree after that. They only talk about some military issues. For example, after the defeat of Visigoth, how the two armies should work together.

"I can send an army of more than fifteen thousand people here to cooperate in the battle. Victoria said:

"The Briton navy will do everything in its power to crush any Visigothic navy that dares to approach the New World - but everything else will need you to take care of. At the same time, I don't want you to set up the battlefield in Charleston. ”

"I know. William replied, "It's too close to the ocean." If the Visigoths are supported by naval artillery, then we will have to fight them with greater effort. At the same time, if they can retreat by sea at any time, we will not be able to wipe out the entire Gothic expeditionary force with a decisive victory.

"It's good that you understand. Victoria nodded. At the same time, there was some jealousy in my heart.

The man sitting across from her had everything she had and what she didn't. Love, intelligence, command, and a more sophisticated hand, and the male sex. She has no better place than him except for a higher starting point, stronger power and strength.
