If the warriors who died bravely for Briton sixty years ago heard the public opinion of these descendants, I don't know whether they would be angry or weeping bitterly.

Of course, they certainly wouldn't have predicted that something so terrible would happen decades later. It was as if they would not realize that the empire had finally voluntarily abandoned most of its colonies, dividing out those who could not integrate with Africa, India, Persia, and Indonesia. Eventually, more than 300 countries were divided.

If someone had told them about it, they would have thought that person was crazy.

Are you kidding.

How can it be.

Or rather, why.

Why.

That's a goth.

But it is the most powerful country in the world.

If it is said that the Gothic Empire is in decline, then forget it. But the Gothic Empire has not declined, on the contrary, the empire has become quite powerful.

So why did the empire take the initiative to divide these countries and give them independent status?

It's inexplicable!

However. Actually, it is.

It's very simple.

The Empire does not want to be a genocidaire. This can be a huge psychological burden for the empire. And with the improvement of the empire's strength and living standards, the moral level of the people of the empire will naturally increase.

In this case, the Empire's attack on the native mob would cause extremely serious political problems.

On the other hand, divide out unimportant, unproductive, barren land – and of course, even rich territories like India.

Although on the surface it seems to be a bit more than worth the loss.

But the empire lightened its burden.

It's like a person who has successfully lost weight by removing fat.

Although he looked a little thinner, he became healthier.

At the same time, even if these lands have nominally established states, in reality, they are still colonies of the empire – economic colonies – and in this age of nationalism, it is very difficult, too costly, and prone to all kinds of problems to engage in traditional colonial plunder.

Economic colonization is different. It doesn't matter at all.

What's more, economic colonization is very hidden. And the inability to get rid of - because of the industrial power of the Empire, because of the scientific and technological power of the Empire. Empire products can crush the opponent. It's like the effect of William's original world in the seventies—except that William's empire was larger and more populous.

After assimilating Asturias, the empire already controlled the entire Old Continent except for the Briton Islands. At the same time, after a series of negotiations, the empire finally relinquished territory in the Middle East, the last vestige of the Levantine and Turkic peoples. By that time, the empire had completed the process of indigenizing the Anatolian Peninsula and the Caucasus, as well as Syria, Israel, and Egypt.

A huge empire that included all the territories of the Gothic Empire in its heyday, the entire Old World, the North and South New World, and the whole of Siberia, with more than 1.5 billion educated and well-educated empires with adequate medical, sanitary, and environmental conditions.

The empire also economically colonized the rest of the world. How could this empire fail in such a situation?

- In Briton, the people finally couldn't hold it anymore. After the second collapse of their economy. They finally had to bow their haughty heads and convey their wishes to the Empire.

And with the "help" of the Empire, the Britons finally had to become a small part, an integral part of the Empire's industrial system. His economy, culture, political situation, as well as industry and finance, all received the influence of the empire. So much so that after a hundred years, the country finally became part of the empire -

Briton entered into a "federation" with the Empire, and after the then king of Briton declared himself a vassal of the Empire, the country joined the Neo-Gothic Empire as a confederation.

At this point, the last piece of the puzzle in the politics of the empire was finally put together.

One hundred and twentieth year after the unification of the empire. The Emperor's father, Prince Otto, died peacefully. The death of his father made William sentimental, and at the same time made William's state of mind even more flat.

In the same year, the Empire's exploration of Mars achieved a phased victory. The Empire's first, permanent settlement on Mars was announced—a sign that the Empire could finally leave its home planet and take a solid step toward the universe.

At that time, the whole world celebrated, and those small countries were also envious, jealous and hateful at the same time, and they very much wanted to gain benefits from the empire -

Those with a little insight will understand that the earth is small compared to the universe. And compared to the Gothic Empire, his own power is even weaker -

And when the Empire looks to the stars, expecting another leap, not many people care about anything else on the planet.

At that time, when the empire freed these colonies and gave them independence, no one would have thought about this day.

On that day, William fell asleep soundly in Victoria's room. The couple still looked at each other as they were twenty years old. In the end, Victoria shook her head helplessly, and then said to William: "I lost." ”

A few months later, Victoria gave birth to William's first son.

The empire finally has a rightful heir. The news came to celebrate all over the world...... Twenty years before that day, the Imperial Diet, in a state of turmoil, announced a decree.

Politically, the emperor had only the last bit of power left. That is, the right of questioning.

Although formally, the appointment of the prime minister, as well as the dismissal, and the questioning of the parliament, etc., remained in the hands of the emperor. However, this no longer matters. The empire has finally taken this step.

From absolute monarchy, to dualistic Prussian constitutionalism. and now the constitutional monarchy.

The empire has finally transformed from an authoritarian and dictatorial state into a democratic state.

Although this transformation is very unaccustomed to almost everyone in the world - the people of the empire are very accustomed to living under the guidance of the emperor who never seems to grow old, who is energetic, who never seems to go wrong.

And when that all changed, the people of the empire panicked. There have even been small-scale riots and riots.

They believed that there were rebellious ministers and thieves who coerced the emperor. Even expecting to be able to save the driver or something. Until the emperor made a speech.

I'm with you.

I will always guard my beloved empire and my beloved people.

The Emperor's speech calmed the hearts of the Imperial People.

In the following period of time, public welfare undertakings will be carried out, media will be carried out, and frequent appearances will be made in front of the media. William had more light in that period than in the previous ten years combined. The purpose is to reassure the people......

Until now, a little bit. When people get used to this political model. They are also accustomed to the Empire's two-party system of alternating elections. Scold those bastard politicians, and then miss the peace and tranquility of the empire when the emperor was in power. The power of the empire has finally smoothed out.

The prince who grew up in this situation, although he was a little unhappy in his heart. But there is nothing to be done.

Politics rolls forward like a river, rarely backwards. The spiral of history cannot be converted, at least in the present circumstances.

However, this is only on the surface.

Behind the scenes, the Emperor controls another weapon.

Finance, Economics.

The Royal Consortium was divided by William for decades.

Such a rich and rival terrorist asset was divided by him little by little, and then integrated into various other consortia, controlling shares and obtaining benefits. The move to integrate into the economy, capital of the entire empire was finally completed.

The royal family's retirement with the country is reflected in this aspect.

The Emperor can easily bring someone he likes to the stage, or let someone he doesn't like get out of the way or something.

Therefore, the times are developing and society is progressing. Until then, colonial rule, imperial autocracy or something might be appropriate. But now it's different. Forcibly reversing social progress or something will inevitably meet with the backlash of the people. And the ruler's means of ruling are also constantly loosened for the ruled.

It's like slavery in the beginning, where slaves have no power. Then there was serfdom. Feudal tenant farmers, then capitalism – in the beginning capitalism also exploited the workers quite brutally. However, after capitalism has had enough, at least it can give some benefits to the workers and employees.

With the development of the productive forces, the relations of production, or social relations, are constantly changing. The ruling class is also constantly changing, and the way the ruling class rules is constantly changing. The government of the ruling class, the state of government, is constantly changing.

This is the development of history, the surging general trend, those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it die. No matter how powerful it is, there is no way to reverse it.

And William also believes that with the further development of productivity. As human technology continues to advance. The present relations of production, social relations, the ruling class will also be constantly changing.

Maybe there will be some repetition in the process. However, in the end, the winner must be the most suitable for the development of productive forces and the most suitable for this era......

That's it. Perhaps one day, the Emperor, the so-called Gothic Empire, will also be thrown into the dustbin of history.

In the future, those who are stronger, better, and more knowledgeable than William will scoff at William's great achievements.

But, at least, for now, William can breathe a sigh of relief.

His wars, his journeys, his history...... Although it is not yet finalized, it can be written for the time being.
