Chapter 83: So if you are cheated, you can only blame yourself for being an idiot

That's pretty much it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Next, Victoria and William had more exchanges, and had an in-depth discussion about whether William was willing, whether he should, and whether he should assemble a large army to go to the border in the shortest possible time and launch a war against the evil Visigothic Republic.

The end result left Victoria very unhappy. That is, failed. Well, yes, very, very much a failure. Although William listed various reasons and gave various excuses, he also made a lot of promises. However, all this seemed to Victoria to be completely meaningless. Because in the end, William was still unwilling to send a single soldier to that battlefield.

In this way, everything he says is meaningless.

Well, yes, it doesn't make any sense at all.

It's sad to think about it. That's what happened.

Eventually, Victoria finally understood something. That is, regardless of the reasons for the annexation of Austria and Bohemia by William's army. But in this consideration, there is definitely a little element of strategic deception.

In other words, William wanted everyone to think that he was going to do something against the Visigothic Republic.

The Visigothic Republic would be very frightened by this. After that, a large amount of resources will be tilted towards the confrontation with the Empire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Britons could fight the Visigoths on the Asturian Peninsula -

Then, the Britons also mistakenly thought that William would make a move, so they sent an army - but

It seems that the Russian Gothic Empire has no intention of waging war at the moment.

However, in this case the Asturians, Visigoths and Britons could never have said: ahaha, the Empire did not come, so let's also make a truce. Wait until the Empire joins in before waging war or something.

In this way, everyone, everyone went to war and fought inextricably, while the Russian Gothic Empire was able to stay out of it and continue to develop itself.

Waiting for everyone to fight is almost over, all exhausted. The Empire will jump out again and wipe them all out.

"Damn, really...... Damn it. There is such a plan, there is such a thought. William von Hereford. It's so vicious!"

Victoria is Victoria after all. After a little thought, it became clear what William meant.

She rightly hated it - but it didn't make any sense. Even if she is crying, making trouble and hanging herself now, she asks the Russian Gothic Empire to send troops to help, otherwise she will die to show him. William would never change his decision.

It can even be counterproductive.

The opposite effect is that William will be very contemptuous of what she does.

In addition to being very contemptuous, this guy will definitely revisit the matter of marrying himself.

Because at the end of the day, he wants to continue his family. But at the same time, he didn't want to get in trouble.

In this case, imprisoning her, and then snapping, turning her into a fertility machine or something, seems to be a trick that can be used, even without hesitation, - at least that's what Victoria herself thinks. If she were William, she would do the same.

Compared to the continuation of the family, there is world hegemony or something, love, feelings and the like.

Nothing is right, right.

"But even so...... I still feel very upset......"

Victoria tried to comfort herself, but in the end she gritted her teeth and felt very unhappy.

"We are not sure of fighting them until that 'secret weapon' is finished.

In other words, I can only continue to make peace with them. ”

I thought so in my heart. But it's still not happy. She couldn't help but take out her dressing mirror and look at the beautiful face in the mirror.

Strength, what a good thing, the priest of the Lord of Radiance, or the chosen one, the "true Goths" of the classical era, all these elements allowed Victoria to survive for hundreds of years, if not longer.

It made no difference to her that she was sixteen, thirty, or three hundred.

Looking at the ageless beauty in the mirror, Victoria sighed a little.

Of course, she knows those legendary beauties in history. The kind that can tempt the king to lose his country. She thought she was in no way inferior in appearance and charm to any of them. Yes, that's it. But......

Until then, Victoria had always felt that it was a novelist's fabrication. It can even be said from the perspective of "people who have come over" that it is the inadequacy and uselessness of those rulers themselves. If they weren't greedy for beauty, then that wouldn't have happened. As a result, in the end, after the incident, the woman had to be held responsible. The minds of these men in the world are really ......

But now, she couldn't wait for that to be true—well, not incomparable. Just quite, quite hopefully those things are true. I hope that something like that can happen to William and himself.

"However, of course, it is impossible......"

Victoria sighed in her heart.

"What a barbarian. I don't know how to appreciate such beauty......"

Of course, the barbarian she was talking about was William. But after saying this, she laughed to herself.

If William really knows how to "appreciate" now, then this is not the case now.

In other words, William simply could not appreciate such charm.

Anyway, though. You still have a chance. There is still a possibility of turning the tables on his own. The power of the Russian Gothic Empire was indeed great. And this group of madmen in the Visigothic Republic does have a terrible army. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a chance with the Britons.

In fact, in Victoria's view, there are still opportunities for herself, and, one might even say, very big.

Pharmaceuticals were able to drag the army of the Visigoths in Asturias. In this way, you will be able to win.

Well, yes, that's it, although the Russian Gothic Empire refused to do it. However, the mere fact that the empire borders on the republic was enough for the Visigoths to fear.

It was absolutely impossible for them to throw all their forces into the Asturian battlefield.

They definitely had to leave a lot of troops on the border to guard against the Russian Gothic Empire.

In this case, it is equivalent to the Visigoths fighting Briton with only one hand.

If the Bretons can't win in this way, then there is no need to think about dominating the world or anything like that. Hurry up and wash yourself and go to William's bed. Next, change your mind and play with William's other women.

Then, the thing is, Victoria really began to seriously consider the possibility of turning the novel into a palace fighter.

In the following autumn months. The Russian Gothic Empire continued to remain calm, continued to develop overseas colonies and commercial interests, and continued to assimilate the two lands of Austria and Bohemia. "We are seriously mobilizing our forces and preparing to fight to the death against the most evil country in the world, the Visigothic Republic." ”

Of course, at this point, it's clear who would be so idiotic as to believe them.

Then, there is the war that is even more concerning. Asturias' war with the Visigoths and reinforcements from the Britons.

The situation was unexpected by Victoria - it was as she had envisioned. With more than 100,000 troops transported in front and behind, fully armed and equipped with more than 400 cannons, the Briton army was able to draw if it could not defeat the enemy with the help of the locals.

However, the situation was not as she thought.

The difference between the war skills of a recruit who has been trained for a year and a veteran who has fought a few years of war is not reasonable. In terms of morale and mental outlook, the difference between the two is also not reasonable.

That's it. The Visigoths have more or less condensed the military spirit. Or glory.

They now fight not only for a pitiful allowance per month, nor for the right to plunder the spoils of war after the war is over - in the present era, with the exception of the Russian Gothic Empire, the armies of almost all countries are by default legally robbed.

Of course, this robbery needs to be measured - of course, this is also not the point, the point is that the Visigothic army was still easily defeated - at least with relative ease - in the face of insufficient troops - at least with relative ease to defeat the 100,000 army of the Britons -

If you count the last three legions of the Asturians, then it is an army of 150,000.

The 150,000-strong army was crushed by the repeated charges of the opposing cuirassiers and guards cavalry. In the end, most of them became prisoners, and a few wolves rushed to the pigs. Although General Arthur tried his best to gather his army, the number of troops that eventually fled to the south of Asturias was less than 30,000.

A total of more than 400 artillery pieces, tens of thousands of war horses, a large number of rifles, gunpowder, military salaries, grain and grass, all kinds of supplies were not left at all, all cheaper Visigothic army. In addition to this, the territory of Asturias, which barely had a little more than half, was ceded to the Visigothic army.

After a fierce pursuit. All of Asturias, almost all of the lands fell.

Eventually, King Philip II of Asturias, and his princely ministers. Either he ran away by boat, or he was caught and his head was cut off.

Otherwise, they would have been cowered in the last drop of the kingdom's projectile-sized territory, the fortress of Gibraltar near the Strait.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other, this fortress has a very strong geographical advantage, guarding the strait between the blue sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and is the last key point of this war.

Geographically, it should belong to the Asturians.

However, if everything in the world could be "rightly said", then the world would have become a heavenly kingdom on earth.

In the war two hundred years ago, the Asturians, who had weakened to a certain extent at that time, ceded this place of great strategic and economic value to the Britons. And the question of the ownership of this region is also the biggest crux of the relationship between the two countries......

After a little thought, his land was completely lost, and he ended up having to hide in such a rather symbolic place.

Come to think of it, William felt that if he were Philip II, he would have found a place to settle his own calculations.

"Looks like it's over. William said to Victoria with ease—of course, what he was thinking in his heart was another matter.

If you follow the experience of William's previous life, then this war still has to be fought.

Whether it was then or now, no one would have imagined that the Spanish War, in which there was only one projectile left, would be repeated.

Still, he did happen.

However, in another time and space in another world, how far things will eventually develop, and whether such "outrageous" things will happen again. That's a little bit ...... It's difficult.
