Yes, this guy is the "ally" of the Hereford family, and at the same time, the greatest enemy of the Ostrogothic Empire, Victoria, known as the other queen of the Briton Kingdom, and the modern Duchess of Normandy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Maybe it's because the Hereford family is more important, or maybe it's because the Protestant coalition is now at an absolute disadvantage, more defeated than the emperor. Of course, William also had another thought in his heart, that is, Her Majesty was not "too important", at least not too important in the war - she was not a genius strategist, she was not a general of the front army who could fight well, and third, she was not the logistics chief who coordinated the army's salaries and food...... So, although this war has condensed a lot of her heart. But her "hard work" is mainly focused on two aspects.

One of them is money, and the second is diplomacy.

Therefore, it is only natural that Her Majesty came to Wilhelm and Wroclaw at the same time as the war was going on at a critical moment.

Of course, although he said that, William was still shocked when he heard the news - although he had never thought about what to do with Victoria, at least on the surface, Victoria and the Hereford family were hostile. After all, the Hereford family still hasn't broken with Emperor Kalman IV. Nominally, the Hereford family remained vassals of the Emperor. And in this case, this Queen Majesty dared to come to William alone, if nothing else, at least the courage was commendable.

But that's about it.

For the sake of Her Majesty's condescending to beg for his own face, William finally found some time to talk to her. Of course, I just talked to her. William wasn't going to change his original plans because of her identity or anything. As he said, the previous tactical policy of the Hereford family was to recuperate, and the Hereford family would never get involved in the war until the two sides were exhausted.

That's it.

"Of course not. After hearing William's words, Victoria looked at him with dissatisfaction and said, "What I need is real support, what I need is troops, reinforcements." The Herefords have the ability to mobilize an army of 100,000 - I certainly don't expect you to use all your strength in this war, but you only need to use a few legions. Twenty or thirty thousand troops, can't you even get this little reinforcement? If we can open up a second battlefield behind the emperor's back, that is, on the Eastern Front, then our pressure will be much lower, so-"

"Benefits, benefits. William rolled his eyes: "Although it is ...... But where is the benefit? Why should I fight for your own benefit? And, ah, the most important point is ......" Speaking of this, William picked up the plan, that is, it said that the Britons could send 200,000 troops, and pushed the plan for the whole world, and showed a sarcastic smile: "What's more, you have 200,000 troops under your command, 200,000 troops, mylove, you have 200,000 troops under your command, who you want to fight?" Why should we condescend to the civilized wasteland of the frontier to seek the help of a barbarian like the Hereford family?"

Hearing William say this, Victoria paused, and then became even more angry - angry at the same time, she also had a feeling of inadequacy - yes, this mobilization plan for the troops was not actually the result of William's Cheka agents, but Victoria gave it to William. The purpose is very simple, it is to scare William, and in a sense it is also for diplomatic blackmail. That's what it translates to:

Look, look, we have so many troops in Briton, we are sure that we will win the war, so what are we waiting for? Order quickly - I mean join us and overthrow the cruel rule of the corrupt Holy See and the tyrant Kalman IV!

But William was not fooled.

To be sure, William did believe that the Britons could raise such a formidable army through gritted teeth. Even 400,000, or even more troops. For Briton, the most powerful trading and industrial power in the human world, if they really mobilized all their forces, they could theoretically mobilize millions of troops, such a mythical age, and even a miracle, with a huge number of troops.

But the problem is that the above is only "theoretical".

Theoretically, if the Bretons were mobilized like this, they would be able to pull out an army of millions. But in reality, they can't even pull out the 200,000 troops on this mobilization form.

For the Britons did not have the heart to fight.

The people of Briton are not very interested in Briton's territory on the mainland. Those MPs usually do not see these areas as truly Britun's own territory. At the same time, it is not easy to manage the territory of the Goths compared to expanding in the human world itself, fighting to the death and then laying down a large number of Goths. The Britons were more interested in colonizing overseas.

The coveting of the rich and populous Indi, the members of Congress of Briton were very disgusted by the current war on the continent.

In fact, there has always been a voice in Congress that the "Continental Balance of Power Policy" means that the Bretons will give up all their territories on the continent of the human world and specialize in colonizing overseas colonies, and by colonizing the rich and populous regions of the Spice Islands, Indy and Indochina, and by competing for the precious metal-rich colonies in the hands of Asturias, the kingdom will reap countless times more benefits than it is now.

As for the concern that "the human world may fall into chaos due to the shrinkage of the Britons and eventually be unified by a powerful country", the Bretons also have their own tactics, and the "continental balance of power policy" came into being. Although this policy can be explained in a large number of high-sounding words, the essence of the policy is twofold.

One of them is to suppress those who are currently in the strongest state in the human world, and to support any second-strongest country that wants to rise. In this case, maintain the balance of power among the great powers on the human continent. In this case, it is only natural that the human world can remain divided.

This policy is very marketable in Congress, in the upper classes of Britun. It was precisely because of these people's obstacles that Briton could not do his best to intervene in this war that dominated the fate of the entire empire.

As far as William knew, the Normandy family, Victoria's political power, was absolutely opposed to such a policy. They are resolute in maintaining Briton's territories in the human world, and consider them to be an integral part of Britton and an indispensable part of maintaining a strong Briton Empire.

While they did not deny the importance of colonizing overseas, they were equally interested in the development of territory in the human world—occupying important coastlines, seaport cities, and coastal areas, with the highest priority of enhancing their seafaring and naval power.

Under this policy, they controlled Normandy, Brittany, Frisia and Aquitaine, and infiltrated their power on the islands of the Azure Sea.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both policies, and it cannot be said that one is absolutely correct either. In fact, in William's view, those who support both policies are more concerned about their own interests than the interests of the country. It's like the backbone of the continental faction, the Normandy family to which Victoria belongs. The reason why they resolutely maintain the mainland policy is that their territory is on the main road. It's as if the Normandy family, whose territory has been maintained for hundreds of years, is almost equal to the Duchy of Normandy, an independent kingdom, located on the mainland. Theoretically a fief belonging to the Visigothic kingdom.

And those families who supported the "Continental Balance of Power Policy" and overseas colonization were basically located in Briton itself. The reason why these families did this was because without these "overseas territories", Briton did not need to take care of those territories, and could pour more resources into the homeland, allowing them to get more benefits.

So in fact, William felt that the two sides were half-hearted. It's not so much a matter of route as it is of the ass. It is not so much a struggle for national capital as a conflict of interests.

Of course, William didn't despise Victoria because of this kind of thing, it didn't matter, it didn't matter, and it was natural to think about this kind of thing. Think about the famous saying in your previous life, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Although it sounds quite reasonable, but to be able to say such a thing so shamelessly, guess who it should be?

Well, yes, that's right, it's the British.

All in all, because of internal interests, although at present, the Normandy family has the advantage of power in Briton, but it is absolutely impossible to mobilize all the power of Briton to fight this war. The rival families could not oppose the policy line of the House of Normandy, but they could listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and they could work without help. Looking at the troops sent by the mainland in the back, they fought to the death in front. They sit in the back of parliament and vote against them disgustingly, why not?

In addition, there is another problem, that is, the continental family, led by the Normandy family, cannot devote all their strength to this war. Because if too much strength is expended in this war, then they will not have enough strength to suppress the opposition at home. In this way, if you win the war but lose the power in your hands, probably no one in the world will be stupid enough to do such a thing.

So, that's it. Mobilization, yes, it does. But an army of 200,000 people. I'm sorry for this, but I really don't.

From the beginning to the present, this plan to mobilize 200,000 troops and then level all the way is just a plan. In fact, information obtained from the bloody battles of William's Cheka agents showed that the Bretons had been mobilized on a fraction of the scale of the plan, or even a third. According to William's estimates, they can mobilize a maximum of 60,000 to 80,000 troops, and support the frontal battlefield to 8 to 100,000, which is considered to be the highest number.

And it is also natural that even with an army of 100,000 in their hands, the Bretons did not have the confidence to win against Kalman IV.

That's why Victoria deigned to come to a border area like Wroclaw and personally turned to hillbillies like the Hereford family for help.
