William knew nothing about what was happening in the Frisian region. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info, though, doesn't mean he's taking his enemies lightly.

While working hard to organize the Steppe Army, he did not relax his intelligence gathering and surveillance work for Briton. It's very simple, and you'll be able to collect those things.

"In other words, an expedition. ”

Tens of thousands of people, hundreds of warships are impossible to hide, there are always clues to be found. Especially in this era, various countries still do not pay enough attention to secrecy and espionage. So it was very easy, and soon, William learned the news. After a little reflection and summary, we can draw conclusions.

"The other party's target is Indy. And maybe the Indonesian archipelago...... Well. It's terrible. Thinking of this, William couldn't help but frown.

In the whole world today, except for the dragon kingdom that is close to the legend, I don't know whether it's true or not, and I don't even know the route, these two regions are the richest, most populous, and most valuable. The latter is very difficult, after all, the Indonesian region is all islands and all water, and in the navy, the empire has not gone as far as the Britons. Even William felt that even after he built the ironclad, it would be like this for a long time.

Because of this kind of thing, ironclads, how to put it, it's really good, it's really good. But as long as the production does not go up, and the maneuverability is insufficient, there is no way to cover all the routes.

Even if the Empire won the battle of the main battle of the battleships, what would it do next? Landing on the Briton Islands? Or blockading the Briton Islands and conducting blockade operations......

In particular, if the blockade operation is carried out, then the other side will definitely use the same tactics to blockade the Hereford family. At that time, the two sides will compete not with the number of capital fleets and capital ships, but with the number of light cruisers and frigates. These warships, which can perform escort missions or sabotage missions, will shine in this situation.

And to put it more simply, that is, a light and fast warship. Even the number of merchant ships and transport ships - these ships are the main force that determines the next transportation, defense, and attack mission. Both sides will play the role of pirates for each other for quite some time, solving problems in a pirate way.

If the war were to reach this stage, it would be very difficult for the Hereford family to win.

Because this is not a competition between the quality and quantity of the main fleet, but the number of light warships, and it can even be said that it is a competition between the speed of the shipbuilding industry of the two sides and the total number of ships owned.

In this respect, the Herefords were nowhere near as good as the Britons as a traditional naval power. Definitely going to suffer, well, yes, definitely going to lose. Maybe even the other party will be defeated because of this.

Therefore, if you want to win in this situation, you must meet two conditions.

One of them was the victory of the main fleet. The second point is the landing of the Briton Islands. Use the land to land and defeat the Britons on an archipelago of tens of millions of people.

To do both, two conditions must be met. One of them is the absolute superiority of the main fleet, and the other is the absolute superiority of the strength of the army. Only by satisfying these two conditions, and then winning the victory as quickly as possible, the opponent will not be able to react, so that the opponent's huge fleet and war heritage cannot be brought into play. Under such circumstances, the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire, could have won.

But yes, but, but it's just too difficult. For now, at least, William thinks his empire can't achieve both.

Victory on the army is easy, victory on the navy is even possible. But after the victory of the army and the victory of the navy, there would be enough forces to land on the Briton Islands, and William felt that this was not very possible. Because the first two battles will definitely greatly damage the strength of the Empire. And even made the finances of the empire very bad.

In this case, William felt that he still needed to build up his strength - he needed the main ironclad, but at the same time, he also needed the faster sailing ship to use as a sabotage. At the same time, he will have to fully integrate the shipbuilding industries of Polotsk and Livonia, increase production capacity, expand production scale and improve technical capabilities. None of this can be done overnight. It all takes time.

And all this time is even enough to fight a war in the East.

"That's pretty much it. If the other side can consume too much strength in the war of conquest between Indy and Zoroaster, then my goal will be achieved. William thought to himself, and then he thought it was a little funny—maybe the other thought of himself, too.

"Therefore, in the end, who can take advantage and who will suffer depends on personal means. William thought to himself: "So this time the opponent ...... I guess it's still that guy. Victoria. Thinking of this, William showed an indifferent sneer.

More than the other party, the person he wanted to fight was the unfathomable Lady Maria. It's just that she may be training the next generation, or for some other reason, knowing that Victoria's ability is not enough and she is not his opponent, but she still likes to let Victoria do these things.

William has several explanations for this, but none of them make sense. But it doesn't matter, she can do whatever she likes.

Maybe in terms of blood, the other party is indeed his mother. But so what. A mother who has abandoned herself for twenty years, William doesn't even have the slightest thought, the slightest mood swing.

Even if there were, it was just an abomination.

"Just let me win again. He thought to himself. At the same time, after a little hesitation, he decided to tell his father, Prince Otto, about this, as if Madame Maria had in mind. The reason why William was able to bring Prince Otto back out of the mountain. Her presence is a great thing.

And William also knew very well that he had a very vicious understanding of the status of this lady in Prince Otto's heart, as well as the inherent impression. Then put himself in a position of vulnerability.

The Hereford family and the Normandy family. Russia - Gothic Empire and Briton Kingdom. In any case, the two sides are already irreversible against their opponents. In this case, the Hereford family, which is already at a disadvantage, may not be optimistic in the end.

William spoke very clearly to Prince Otto about these things, including his own trip to West****, his meeting with the man who claimed to be his mother, and, more recently, the relationship between Russia, the Gothic Empire, and the Kingdom of Briton.

After the end of the sectarian war, the Britons made a declaration that, because of the change in the situation, they renounced their continued alliance with the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire.

The other side is even willing to support the Visigothic kingdom and make the Visigothic-Asturian alliance its potential ally.

The diplomatic inclination of the Bretons was evident at the moment, and the other side was ready to draw together an alliance to guard against and oppose the Russo-Gothic Empire. This alliance included himself, his client states in the Ostrogothic Empire, the most important of which were Austria under the Habsburgs and the Carpathian Union.

The Carpathian kingdom eventually had to accept a foreign monarch, and a foreign monarch who had arranged for them. It is for this reason that the Kingdom of Carpathia and the Kingdom of Austria have formed a co-confederation. It's just that this confederation is actually not very helpful to the Carpathians. Because the Habsburgs didn't even understand the affairs of Austria itself.

This lucky family who rose to the top in one step hardly liked them in the local area. The vast majority of the people in Austria regarded them as puppets and vassals of the Britons. For a kingdom that had been ruled by the Swabians for hundreds of years, the Habsburgs were clowns, accomplices in the murder of kings, and could never be the monarchs to whom they were loyal.

In this case, not many people supported them, even in Austria itself. They don't even have the strength of their own, let alone how much they can come to the aid of the Carpathians when they are attacked.

So, the Carpathians were very disappointed.

But even if they are disappointed, there is nothing they can do.

Even their ideal boss, the Russian-Gothic Empire, would not dare to offend the Britons at this time, let alone their little brothers who did not grow up.

The Austro-Carpathian Confederation, the best ally of the Briton people to defend the empire, seemed so bad at the moment that it was difficult to even survive. Not to mention the assistance provided to Breton.

So, this alliance of wishful thinking of the Britons actually ceased to exist from the beginning.

The guy they are wooing, in addition to the pathetic country that is currently in turmoil and misery, is a third-rate kingdom that has collapsed and has no ambition to wage any war at all, or else it is simply a puppet and a vassal.

In fact, William had the idea, if he was a Briton, then his choice would never be these scum. He would choose to prop up the Ottoman Empire in the south as his ally.

Although the number of Juche nations is not too large, the ******** is becoming more and more acute, and the empire, which is becoming more and more ineffective in this era of gradual awakening of nationalism, is not a very good candidate for sleepwalking, but at least it is much better than the aforementioned garbage.

It's just a pity that I don't know for what purpose, the other party doesn't have the slightest intention of trying to win over the Ottoman Empire. This made William feel strange and somewhat relieved at the same time.

Without the Ottoman Empire joining, it would have been impossible for the other side to piece together a perfect Russian-Gothic encirclement network. In this way, he is absolutely safe.
