As an integral part of the war between the old and new sects, in fact, the war between the Hereford family and the Wende Kingdom did not have a lot to do with the entire war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info There are even some later historians who prefer the Ahzing Herefords' strategy for the Wende kingdom to be viewed separately from the religious wars between the north and south of the empire - at least in the early stages of this war, which they did.

Because yes, indeed. Whatever the reason, what happened to the Hereford family during their raid on the kingdom of Wende is worth pondering. During the march of the Hereford family, both the Protestant Northern Protestant Coalition and the Empire Emperor, who believed in the traditional sects, showed a striking indifference to this. Both sides sat back and watched the demise of the Trieste family without any meaningful shouting. In a sense, both parties can be counted as accomplices of the Hereford family.

And in the absence of a voice from both sides, let alone a move, the war of the Hereford family's annexation of Wende is equivalent to not being affected by any outside influence. It is not an exaggeration to say that this war is relatively independent, and it can even be said that it is quite correct.

At the same time, on the other hand, the old and new sects of the Empire, in the Civil War, the Hereford family also did not rush to join. At the time of the war between the armies of Kalman IV, Franconia, Frisya and Lotternia, the House of Hereford, who had just annexed the kingdom of Wende, watched the war with great indifference.

- The Briton army, dressed in Frisian skins, eventually passed through Lotera and reached Franconia, where the Frisian army persuaded or forced some of the nobles of Lotera to join the coalition army.

Frisia's army of 30,000, plus Franconia's army of 20,000 and Lotternia's 10,000. The combined number of the three armies reached 60,000, which was almost the same as the number of Kalman IV's army. The two sides confronted each other in Franconia for several days. The horses and rangers tore each other apart for a long time, and in the end, it was His Majesty the Emperor who was superior in skill - there was no way not to be skilled, and the Magyar Hussars of the Carpathians under his command were known as the originators of modern cavalry in the human world. Gained the advantage in small light cavalry melees.

It was also like this grinding back and forth, smoothing out the patience of the coalition forces, and the Breton commander summed it up, and it would not do him any good to continue to fight so piecemeal. At the same time, they consciously went through the modernized and reformed army, and the main force fought against generals and was definitely stronger than Kalman IV.

So the two sides submitted war letters to each other, and after the agreed time, it was decided to hold a battle to the death......

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the Hereford family.

Regardless of how Otto, the king of the kingdom, had sworn allegiance to Kalman IV and even made a marriage contract with the princess of the empire. No matter how good William, the crown prince of the kingdom, had a good relationship with Victoria, or even the "open secret" that the public recognized was the lover of the Norman duchess - no matter what, the fact is that the Hereford family did not intervene in the war. Didn't join either of them.

Later scholars have two attitudes when studying this event, one of which is that it is precisely because the father and son of the Hereford family have a deep friendship and relationship with the warring parties that the two conflicted so that the Hereford family did not intervene in the war in the first place. Conspiracy theorists, on the other hand, argue that they are doing it to gain more benefits.

These conspiracy theorists, or opponents of the Hereford family, use this scathing language to assess the actions of the Hereford family in this war:

"They crouched at the edge of civilization, and the monsters with two heads pointed one at each side of the war. They promised, and they reaped benefits from the belligerents. to expand their own power. Each head did everything in his power to show the warring side that it was on his side. Such assurances have strengthened the confidence of the warring parties. They all believed that Hereford's double-headed eagle was their ally. And the side with the double-headed eagle will win-

But, in reality, this was just a disguise - the Herefords were never on either side. The Hereford family values only themselves. The two-headed eagle flexibly used his abilities to easily change his diplomatic attitude and obtain enough benefits for himself. Because of this, the Hereford family became the biggest winners in this war. ”

Later generations, the Hereford family, as well as historians and supporters of the Russian Empire, presented numerous pieces of evidence to prove the reasons why the Hereford family did not intervene in the war, and that the friendship between the father and son of the Hereford family and the warring parties was true until then.

But privately, they also say that these reasons and evidence are actually somewhat untenable...... In any case, the fact is that the Hereford family is on the sidelines. The Hereford family did not intervene in the war in the first place. This will never change.

William is rightly unaware of what later historians have to say about him. But even if you knew, it didn't matter - yes, you were plotting on it, but so what. Who can do what to themselves? What can those guys do if they know they are waiting for a price and sell them, or even compete with each other for profit?

Don't they still have to be accompanied by smiling faces and do more good to themselves?

It is not a fault to adopt a "flexible" diplomatic attitude, and it is a sin to have no strength. In the case of the Hereford family, with five legions and two hundred thousand troops. Whether it is Victoria, "Her Majesty the Queen" or Emperor Kalman IV, they must give the Hereford family enough respect. And there is not enough power for the ...... Let's just say that King Henry, his allegiance to Emperor Kalman IV, no matter how beautiful the shouting is, that is, he really dug out his heart to show His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother to deal with him.

Of course, the Herefords did not send troops to intervene in the war. It doesn't mean they don't care about this war. While the two warring sides were preparing for a good and vicious battle, the Cheka agents also stayed in the towns around the battlefield, and even disguised themselves as small merchants and blended into the military camps of both sides. Fully obtained first-hand information and intelligence.

Of course, in addition to these unofficial personnel, the Hereford family also sent diplomats, along with the movement of the armies of both sides. These officers, who have diplomatic status, but are actually from Russia and Mystia, will record the process of this war in more detail. to measure the combat effectiveness of the armies of both sides.

All of this performance of the Hereford family was more or less perceived by both warring parties. But neither of the warring parties mentioned it, and tacitly acquiesced.

Perhaps the warring parties also used this method to show off their power to the Hereford family, hoping that the Hereford family would join their side......

That's basically it, these spies with legal identity, and spies without legal identity, are constantly disseminating the information they have obtained to the Hereford family headquarters.

It was in this information that William and his favored generals and officers saw some of the threads of modern warfare.

From the very beginning of the war, Kalman IV skillfully used his cavalry units to cause problems for the coalition forces - not in the frontal battlefield, of course, but in other areas.

On the flanks of the coalition forces, in the rear, small groups of cavalry penetrated into the past, and then wreaked havoc. In addition to attacking the enemy's transport troops, logistics supplies, and warehouse reserves, for ordinary villages, merchants were also killed and killed "without discrimination". Because of these villages and merchants, it was possible for the caravans to supply the coalition forces.

The only fortunate thing was that Frisia drove an ironclad train into Franconia. By rail, large quantities of Briton supplies were transported from Frisia to Franconia via Lotternia. Therefore, in the case of the destruction of the logistical supply of Franconia itself, the supplies of the coalition forces can still be guaranteed. The railway line from Frisia to Franconia became the lifeline of the coalition forces. And several stations on the railway line, that is, the places where the coalition forces stocked supplies, have naturally become the military focus of both sides. The battles that ensued from this were endless.

The hussars attacked and fought at night quite well, but they were not strong enough to deal with fixed defensive locations. After several rounds of raids were declared fruitless. And when the main army was preparing for a decisive battle, and it was impossible to draw more troops to carry out the attack, Kalman IV had to acquiesce in this. That is, the harassment tactics of his cavalry units failed.

"Railways will be used more and more in future wars. William came to this conclusion after getting this information. At the same time, he strengthened his determination to develop the railway industry in the territory of the Hereford family.

"But at the same time, the tactics of light hussar raids are still valuable. Especially if the strength of the opponent is weak. ”

Then William came to the conclusion that to be honest, the coalition forces were a bit of a bully in the battle around logistics and transportation. That "Her Majesty the Queen" Victoria was not very good at war or anything, but when it came to new technology, no one could compare. Trains, railway lines, plus an ironclad train guard, those cavalry can be said to have to die as many as they come. The two sides seemed to be tied, but in fact it should be considered a victory for the coalition side.
