620. Chapter 620

In this way, there was good news and bad news for the colonial development of the Far East. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info bad news is naturally one less, and it's an absolutely important object. And the good news is that in this way, William will have a clear mind. Then I felt very pleasant. William, as the emperor of the country, was in a sense more important than anything else.

For the time being, of course, the Far East could no longer serve any purpose other than the pleasure of William's covetousness and the pleasure of his thoughts. Because the Hereford family can't project their power there at the moment.

For now, at least, the main attention of the Herefords, and of the Britons, has been on Indy, a terrible place blessed by nature and cursed by humanity.

That is, while William tried his best to manage, restore, and annex the legacy of the Ottoman Empire and the Zoroastrian Empire, while Victoria was naturally not idle in India, doing nothing.

In fact, this other Queen Majesty of Briton has done a lot, and it has done it very well. Well done, at least on average.

She organized an army of more than two hundred thousand people. The backbone of the Briton expeditionary force was the backbone, plus locally trained Indian soldiers and troops provided by the princely kings, now vassals of the Britons. Such a large army is almost invincible in fighting in Indy itself.

In successive wars with the Mughal Empire, Victoria was victorious, and at one point even approached Delhi, the capital of the empire.

Of course, because of a series of events, she didn't do it.

This is mainly because of the continued rise of the Marathas. These Marathas, who had gathered a large number of Indian kings, had built a fairly large and relatively powerful empire. They took control of the entire south-central part of India, the Deccan Plateau, and were eager to unify the whole of India.

In northern India, Mughal rule was similarly shaky, and Nadir Shah, who founded the Afshar dynasty, was a good fighter. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that he received aid from the Britons.

Nevertheless, he did it, and an expedition was made to Delhi, the brightest pearl of Indy, the richest city, to be breached by Nadir Shah. All the treasures that the Mughals had accumulated for centuries were swallowed up by this powerful military leader.

At the same time, in Punjab, the emerging Sikhism finally got too old and launched a rebellion and war against the empire. These brave warriors, at least compared to other Indians, easily defeated the Mughal armies and then easily took control of the whole of Punjab, a relatively rich and vast part of the Indic.

These two years were hell for the Mughals and for Emperor Aurangzeb. They used to control almost the whole of Indy. It is one of the few powerful countries in the world with a huge population, army, economy and territory.

However, all this changed completely in the space of two years. The glory of the empire is a thing of the past. The land of the empire is divided, and the people betray the empire. At the same time, the innumerable number of enemies are pouring in from all directions, leaving the empire at a loss and not knowing how to deal with it.

The emperor has done this, and Aurangzeb has no choice, although it is a bit too much to say that the people have betrayed their relatives, but in reality the situation is about the same.

The reason why this guy can still sit on the emperor's throne now is not because of any other reason, it's just because now, the throne of the Mughal emperor is a hot potato, and no one wants to take over this mess at all.

This is the current situation facing the Mughals, and at the same time the current situation in Indi. It is not an exaggeration to say that the giants are fighting for Indy.

One of the things that intrigued, or rather very pleasant, William was that the Bretons had not met their strategic objectives.

Despite Victoria's invincibility in Indy. At the same time, it has indeed laid a big country. However, failure to achieve strategic goals is failure to achieve strategic goals.

The strategic goal of Victoria, or the Britons, was to control the whole of Indi, and to completely conquer the whole of Indi. But now, she has only conquered the northeastern part of Indy, and only occupies a quarter of the entire Indy.

It's a lot less, but it's not too much. A very sad number.

More importantly, after two years of recuperation, the Russian-Gothic Empire had been recuperated. Both the military and the civilian population are hungry for war. The monsters of a militaristic society can no longer hold back the hunger and thirst in their hearts.

Psychologically, socially. And in reality, that's exactly what happened. One of the most important projects of the empire is nearing completion, which is not inferior to the three-horizontal and five-vertical railway network. In terms of the difficulty of construction, the cost and manpower required, it is much simpler than the railway network.

That's the Suez Canal.

Uh-huh, yes, yes, yes, Suez Canal, Suez Canal. Two years earlier, William had ignored the pleas of the Nirosians and had tried his best to defeat them all, in order to master the vital waterway.

As long as you can keep this vital waterway in your own hands, the empire will be invincible when it comes to exploring eastward.

Yes, we don't have enough fleets, not enough convoys, not enough local hydrographic data and colonies, supply points all over the green road—

But.

Yes, but.

But we can make it all less important.

The fleet did not need to go through the Cape of Good Hope, which was not at all hopeful, and sailed tens of thousands of kilometers to reach Indy. With the Suez Canal, it all became very simple in an instant. Combined with the old territories of the Zoroastrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, which are currently controlled by the Upper Empire, the Empire's expeditionary force will surpass the Britons in terms of logistical supply.

At least in terms of weaponry and the elite native army.

The wealth of the Indies made it impossible for the expeditionary force to worry about military pay and food. However, the state of almost no industry in Indy makes it necessary for them to pay attention to their weapons and equipment.

In addition, the local native troops are very ...... Remnants. The combat effectiveness is relatively insufficient, so the elite local army, whether as a backbone or as a warlord, is indispensable.

In this case, William will be invincible.

Of course, of course, this vital canal is entirely state-run. Of course, of course, the canal is allowed to be navigated by ships from other countries, but at the cost of a costly navigational fee. In addition to this, during the war, the Imperial military would have a comprehensive, militarized management of the canal. All ships transporting weapons and equipment were seized until the end of the war.

"Uh-huh, it's pleasant to think about. William thought to himself.

His army was already on the verge of death. After the annexation of the Ottoman Empire, the entire eastern azure sea has become his world. In this case, he could concentrate almost all the ships in the southern seas and form an unimaginable large fleet to transport his troops and supplies.

Plus double the range. William believed that his expeditionary force was destined to be much stronger than the Britons.

"Next, just wait for the canal to be completely opened. The conquest of India can be put on the agenda. William thought to himself.

Very pleasant, very pleasant and at the same time very, very pleasant.

Although it is too much to say and repeat, William feels that it doesn't matter, or that people who feel happy always seem a little stupid, which is also helpless. Mmmmmm

"Hmph, hum, hahahahaha......" just like that, he let out a laugh like a villain, but it's also helpless to think about it.

......

Of course. William's strategy was entirely impetic. Hundreds of thousands of Nirosian locals work so hard that even idiots can notice what is going on here.

William didn't think about hiding it at all. He made a generous announcement and explained in detail in the official newspaper the location of the canal, the cost of the canal, and the significance of the canal. The opening of this canal will bring some benefits to the Hereford family, the people of the Russian-Gothic Empire.

Convenient travel, commercial trade, transportation, transportation, convenient cultural exchanges, economic exchanges and so on.

Of course, there is also a somewhat vague mention of "facilitating the self-security of the Hereford family".

Although no one will take this sentence seriously. However, this is indeed the case. When a country is strong, it does take the initiative to engage in defensive wars for its own security - although the vast majority of these defensive wars are waged on the territory of other countries.

But it was indeed a defensive war, and one must trust the official Russian-Gothic Empire. They are so sincere, and so serious. So what they say must be right. Mmmmmm Even if what these guys say is not correct, everyone must listen to it as if it were right. Otherwise, there will be strange organizations like the Happiness and Peace Committee knocking on the glass of your house.

That's it, that's what Indy is today, and it's a very magical thing that's happening in this magical land.

Yes, it's not a compliment, it's a derogatory.
