Chapter 114 Several Routes Before the Indians

"In other words, his next step is to attack me, yes, he will definitely do it, that bastard will definitely attack me, he is the one who is greedy and does not hide his greed at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Although the Maharaja had never met Wilhelm von Hereford before, he still described William's appearance through his information - although this imaginary process was full of subjective assumptions, which was not at all correct in reality.

However, William's psychoanalysis is still relatively correct.

As if he thought, the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire would never happily think that they could successfully go home and rest happily because they conquered a medium-sized country like Afghanistan.

Compared to the rich Indies, barren Afghanistan is little more than an appetizer.

In other words, now I should be thinking. Ranjit pondered desperately, "What should I do, should I fight them, or should I keep peace with them?"

Of course, after thinking hard for a while, Maharaja Ranjit gave up on this act, which was actually meaningless.

For, now the choice is not in his hands, it is now up to the Russian Gothic Empire to decide, it is the Russian Gothic Empire to choose, whether to balance with the Maharaja Landit, his Sikh army, and his Punjab kingdom.

Or go on the offensive.

Although he had more than 100,000 troops under his command and could even mobilize more troops, the Maharaja of Punjab was still hesitant about a war with the Russian Gothic Empire.

He knew very well the fighting power of his ally, that is, Nadir Shah, and the number of troops under his command was by no means less than his own, and if the fighting power, morale, and will were concerned, then the fighting power of these tribal warriors living in the barren mountainous areas was obviously much stronger than these armies under his command.

The only thing he can be proud of is the weaponry of the army under his command.

The Maharaja Landit, who was not short of money, acquired a large number of advanced weapons and equipment in trade with the Russian Gothic Empire and other merchants of the human world. These weapons and equipment give his army an advantage when fighting against the opposing side.

"There's no doubt that they'll have more powerful guns than I do. The Lord Ranjit thought in his heart: "After all, these things are what they exported and sold to us. I don't believe that these guys will not leave behind better weapons than what was sold to us. ”

In the case that the combat power is not the opponent's opponent at all, he should be well-behaved and keep to himself, although it is said that the Lord Landit also knows such a thing, however, he is still not very willing. ”

In fact, he had already sent emissaries to the Emperor's temporary palace in the hope of relinquishing some less important powers, as well as other less important things, in exchange for the support of the Russian Gothic Empire and an alliance with the Russian Gothic Empire.

If this is not possible, then it is not impossible to let him suffer a little bit and become a vassal state of the empire. But he must ensure that he is basically independent in practice, and in any case that he will strive for the maximum benefits for his country.

Or to put it another way, to get the most out of yourself.

And Lord Ranjit also thinks that the card deck in his hand is good, if he really wants to play like this, then he will probably be able to get what he wants, and even said that under the wings of the Russian Gothic Empire, he will get better development.

Thinking of this, Maharaja Ranjit smiled pleasantly, as if the conspiracy had succeeded.

Using the national strength of the Russian Gothic Empire, as well as the imperial forces and weapons and equipment, to fight for territory and power for him, and what he needs to pay is only verbal respect, and nominally becoming a vassal of the other party.

Such a deal, absolutely not a loss!

Of course, of course, this is all just wishful thinking.

Soon, the emissaries he sent to the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire would return with sad and depressing news.

His Majesty, the Emperor of the Gothic Empire of Russia, had no intention of making peace with him at all.

If you want to be a vassal state, yes, it's not impossible, but you must become a country like the Zoroastrian Empire today, which is completely dependent on the empire economically, politically, and militarily, and has completely lost diplomatic power, so that you can get opportunities.

No matter what he thinks, Maharaja Ranjit will never admit it.

Therefore, in fact, there is only one fate waiting for him, and there is only this one. War is about to befall the Sikhs, the self-proclaimed war-loving group in all of India.

Delightful.

That is, while the Maharaja of Landit was restlessly waiting for the verdict of fate, the princes and rulers of other parts of Indy also received the results of the war between the Russian Gothic Empire and the Kingdom of Afghanistan one after another.

Basically, everyone was surprised, even very surprised.

Most people knew the power of the Russian Gothic Empire, and everyone knew that the commander of the expeditionary force, Wilhelm von Hereford, was the first general in the world.

He leads a strong army and is backed by strong national strength. In this context, it does not seem surprising that the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force was victorious.

In fact, no one finds it strange.

What amazed them was the course of the war, not the outcome of it.

The process of war. Although it has been decided that the Russian Gothic Empire was very strong, and victory was a matter of course. But at the same time, they all know how tough Afghanistan is. At the same time, we all know how difficult the current king of Afghanistan, that is, this Nader Shah, is.

If it weren't for the fact that he was unlucky enough to meet Wright, then he would very well have achieved great success, defeated the Zoroastrian Empire, annexed large territories, and achieved brilliant and great deeds, instead of dying in obscurity, as he is now.

Although the conqueror is powerful, the object to be conquered is not a soft persimmon. Everyone originally thought that they would be able to see a wonderful and fierce dragon fight.

Although Nader Shah would eventually die, and die a terrible death, he would certainly cause great trouble for William's conquest before he died.

The more optimistic guys believe that he will put up a stubborn resistance to William's first few attacks, seriously weakening William's forces.

In this case, William will most likely weigh the pros and cons and calculate that even if he can defeat Afghanistan in this way, the gains will outweigh the losses. Then he had to turn around and leave, waiting for the next opportunity.

Then there was William's long hostility and blockade of the poor kingdom. The country will survive until the people's livelihood withers and the people are poor. At the same time, the army was sent to attack, seriously weakening the strength of the opponent.

After that, the Russian Gothic Empire will launch a general offensive, and in a singing and weeping war against foreign invaders, Nadir Shah and his loyal Afghan army will fight frantically, making the Russian Gothic Empire pay a great price, and the battlefield will be littered with corpses, and both sides will suffer heavy casualties.

In the end, the Russian Gothic Empire won the war and took the lives of Nader Shah and his followers.

But years of war have left Afghans with great hatred. At the same time, Nader Shah's heroic resistance also made him a hero in the hearts of the locals, inspired by the hero, driven by hatred, although the empire occupied Afghanistan, it was completely unable to calm him down, and all kinds of resistance activities of all kinds emerged one after another, continuing and consuming the power of the empire......

In this way, Afghanistan is like a ulcer on the empire, constantly weakening the empire.

"So, why wasn't it such a pleasant result, and it took less than two months to conquer Afghanistan, which was so difficult, and Kashmir, the steppes of northern Afghanistan, and Baluchistan, all of which fell into the hands of the Russian Gothic Empire. ”

After receiving such information, Victoria, who is currently carrying out the conquest strategy in Indy, only feels that it is a terrible headache.

"It's the worst result......

It was as if before that, he had heard that William had conquered the Ottoman Empire and had conquered a large territory in the Indy region, and the girl who was satisfied that she was not much worse than William was once again subjected to a strong sense of frustration called "reality".

She was indeed inferior to William, at least not as well as William in the performance art of war.

"In addition, the kingdom itself is inseparable from the affairs of the Visigothic kingdom. It is almost impossible to provide assistance for overseas development. To make matters worse, the territory of the Ostrogothic Empire also began to become unstable.

Of course, even these add up to the impact of the family's loss of Normandy. ”

As soon as she thought of this, Victoria felt heartache, heartache.

The Duchy of Normandy, which is the base camp of the family for hundreds of years, is a gathering of humanities, an economic and financial center, a land of wealth, and the most desirable paradise in the human world, and at the same time, it is the largest faction of the Normandy family to lead the kingdom and become the largest support for the de facto ruler of the kingdom.

"However, now ......"

Victoria gritted her teeth. The thought of being a club for the rude mob who could not read a single word of the word felt a strong sense of disgust in her heart, and she longed to return to her hometown as quickly as she could, and then kill all those who had tarnished the honor of the Normandy family.
