And then, the wind and waves were calm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info At least in the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire was peaceful.

This kind of "calm and quiet" was very rare, if not unimaginable, for the nearly 20 million inhabitants of the Russian-Gothic Empire. Originally, two years ago, they always heard the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

The empire recruited more soldiers, the empire formed more legions, the empire invaded more countries, the empire annexed more territories, the empire won, the empire won again, and the empire won again. Why does empire always win? There are even some guys with dark hearts who can't help but think. If it's occasional, of course, it's only occasional, and it's okay for the empire to fail once in a while. If you fail, you won't get pregnant or something.

But the empire was victorious in the end.

An elite army of the Russian-Gothic Empire, the Hereford family, and Wilhelm von Hereford swept through everything. Whether it is a dark elf or a human, whether it is a crescentist or a Zoroastrian, it is equally discriminatory.

The end result was that in ten years, William had laid a large territory. The extent of its territory has expanded to an unimaginably large size.

Every day there is an account, benefits from the conquered territories, land, estates, new species, cash crops, new commercial channels, new goods. These things feasted on the upper class—though it was undoubtedly the Hereford family itself that made the most of the war money. Willem von Hereford can easily overcome any opponent. Then swallow it all.

However, the little bit of residue that leaked out of William's fingers, leftovers, or something, was enough for these guys to show their faces excitedly, and then shout Long live the Emperor, and they couldn't wait to devour them desperately.

And for the ordinary people of the empire, war was no less a very pleasant thing. Because they are following the best generals in the world, the chance of defeat is close to zero. And after victory, although most of the loot is handed over - the soldiers always get something.

In addition to the booty, the soldiers and officers were of course given additional allowances and were rewarded richly.

In addition to money, there is land, in addition to land there is honor, in addition to honor there is privilege, in addition to privilege, there is also the face to be able to succeed in the hometown.

Every year, some veterans with missing arms and legs return to their hometowns with their heads held high. They brought back not only gold and silver, but also their knowledge, their power, their knowledge.

Or they can be recommended to serve as civil servants at the local level. Or maybe you can be discharged from the army like this, and then become a squire of local prestige.

And those who are even better are even more remarkable. These guys even have the opportunity to get a recommendation, get a place and then enter the military academy for further study. First as a non-commissioned officer cadet, then at the Military Academy, and even further into the Higher Military Academy, it is not impossible to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven and ascend to heaven in one step.

In this case, almost all of them, both the upper, middle and lower strata, received the dividends of the war. And all the people who have received the dividends of the war are also accustomed to and like to delete this kind of daily war, monthly war, annual war, and the life of his mother when he has nothing to do, and he is accustomed to it.

Then, the war stopped.

At least it stopped for the time being.

Although in the newly controlled area of the Hereford family, small groups of rebel groups often pop up. Among them, the Nirosians are the most. At the same time, the empire was waging war in the direction of Libya, in the direction of Nubia and Abynesia. But it's all petty.

The places were desolate and there was no oil or water to fish. Originally, it was said that if you win, you can get rewards or honors, and it is not bad to be promoted and make a fortune. But whether it is the desert people of Libya, or the blacks of Nubia and Ethiopia, they are all scum at the level of scum. The combat effectiveness is very low.

If the combat effectiveness is low, there will not be much war to fight. If you can't get much war to fight, you won't be able to get merit and merit, and you won't be able to get promoted and make a fortune without merit......

In this way, the problem of things becomes a bit serious.

What should not be done in this world is to go against the masses of the people, and if anyone goes against the masses of the people, then that guy will definitely die ugly. Thanks to William's transformation, the entire Russian-Gothic Empire has been transformed into a huge military camp, or a classical militaristic society.

In this kind of classical militarist society, it is natural that all of them are militarists. Even a great, brilliant, righteous and upright leader like William can keep these guys from fighting for more than two years, which is already the limit.

"But of course, there is no need to endure any longer. Because the war is indeed about to start, hum, hum, hahaha. Aha......"

Because he was a little excited, William's laughter was a bit ghostly. You don't need to worry too much about that.

It was during these two years that the Hereford family and the Russian-Gothic Empire completed all the war preparations, and both industrial and agricultural productivity were greatly improved.

The resumption of productive activities within the empire was not bad. But I don't know why, and I don't know why, I became a little anxious. So there's a bit of oppression.

Although William believes that the use of people's resources, the construction of water conservancy and so on are all things that are conducive to development. The same is true for the construction of railways, the widening of canals, the construction of factories, and so on.

But having said that, it is not right for a cow to press its head without drinking water.

If William wants to use the people's power in this way, William will naturally use his feelings to lure him to his advantage, so that these guys all deeply understand that he is a screw in the construction of the empire, and he should be screwed where he needs it.

It's not like this, the Bretons are all arrogant, I'm for your good, you **** don't need to know anything, just listen to my orders, the scum understand, don't you dare to disobey the great my orders, don't you want to live.

That's it.

It would be nice to say that these people could only choose one ruler. The mainstream in Europe has never been peasant revolts or anything. However, this kind of thing is not true when you think about it. Although the people do not currently have the ability to vote with their hands, they do have the right to vote with their feet.

It was during the years when the Britons took control of the Ostrogothic Empire. A large number of displaced people flocked to the Russian-Gothic Empire. These immigrants overjoyed William.

The territory of the Russian-Gothic Empire was too large. If you count the territory of those adventurers in Upper Siberia who planted a flag, then the current empire has exceeded the territory of Tsarist Russia in William's previous life. According to Cossack explorers in the Far East, they had a special view of the sea. In other words, they have already controlled and annexed all the territories that they can currently control.

During this time, William had been preparing for the construction of Vladivostok and the formation of a fleet to march towards the west coast of the New World.

But of course, the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been built - in fact, it is more important for the current empire to build a railway network within the empire than to build a Trans-Siberian Railway.

Although it was very helpless and very unhappy. But the reality doomed the current colonial state of the Russian-Gothic Empire.

For a long time, even in a hundred years, and even longer, Siberia, the Far East will not be the focus of the empire. Unless some strange Eastern empire really arises there.

Speaking of the strange Eastern Empire, this was another thing that William found strange, incredible, and incomprehensible.

That is, he failed to find the legendary dragon overturn.

Whether from the Uzbek steppes to the east, or from the Far East to the south, or his ocean-going diplomatic fleet from the ocean. None of them could find such a country.

There, it seems, is nothingness, it seems to be a territory that does not exist in this world. At the urging of Franz Jr., the head of the ocean-going diplomatic fleet, they were allowed to anchor in a sea area called Wanli Haitang.

They were indeed warmly entertained by the locals, who claimed to be the Land of Dragons, dressed in a very different attire from the West. And the trade also went very smoothly, whether it was silk, tea or porcelain, whether it was majolica or some jade jewelry from the East, all of them were successfully purchased or exchanged.

The emissaries sent back by Franz Jr. replied that they had a very powerful fleet and at the same time very strong purchasing power. And the towns look quite delicate and beautiful, and they are in no way inferior to any other part of the Old World.

After that, they continued to sail north and west. It stands to reason that they should soon see the continent and the coastline. But no, still nothing.

No matter how they sailed, they could only see an ocean - although occasionally there would be a mirage of bustling people, streets, cities, and farmland, but it was all empty joy.

Under the constant questioning of the Imperial fleet, the emissaries of the Dragon Nation finally revealed some "messages".

They claim that the kingdom of dragons does exist and does not exist. The kingdom does have territory, but it is surrounded by the huge Kyushu barrier. Within this barrier, only the people of Kyushu who have permission can enter and exit freely, and the rest of the people are absolutely not allowed to enter.

That's it, strange enchantments, unimaginably powerful magic that make this country a living legend that exists but does not exist.

After hearing all this, William was somewhat distracted. At the same time, I felt a little disappointed. But it seems like a good thing to think about it. Because in this way, he doesn't have to worry about thinking about how to deal with this country, a country that is very similar to his motherland in his previous life.

But in addition to this, Franz Jr. is not without other gains.

Another of his gains was the discovery of another important Far Eastern country, the Land of the Rising Sun, known as the Sunrise Country. The country was rich in gold and silver, and the country was still in a feudal state in the Middle Ages, with weak weapons and equipment, and it had been peaceful for a long time. No matter how you look at it, it's a very good hunting target.

Today's empire exerts its influence on the country with commercial and cultural infiltration. However, William believed that one day, his fleet and expeditionary force would bring him new honor and wealth.
