And so, a few days later, William received a reply from Victoria. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's a little, it's subtle. "William was a little weird, surprised, and inexplicable. I didn't think that Victoria would be so easy to talk about at this moment.

Obviously, Victoria has an absolute advantage now. With the slightest move, the Russian Gothic Empire's layout in Indy, its army, and the situation gained by years of dismal operations would collapse with a bang. It's all going to go up in smoke, and then it's all gone.

And yet, even so, even so—and then so.

Victoria, however, uncharacteristically responded to William's request with a more respectful and very positive tone and attitude.

not only ensured the safety of his aunt Freya's life, but even vaguely put forward an opinion that "the two sides are not enemies, we can cooperate".

This made William feel very strange and confused.

This is not Victoria's character.

Obviously, according to Victoria's arrogant character, it is easy to get carried away when she has the upper hand.

In fact, William was ready and enlightened.

On the one hand, Victoria rejected herself, and on the other hand, Victoria put forward some harsh conditions that made it difficult for her to accept.

But he didn't expect that Victoria would accept it so simply. It's unbelievable.

"No, it's not unbelievable, and it's definitely not that she has changed her personality inexplicably. ”

After a little surprise and strange moments, William began to analyze the matter in earnest, and then came to this conclusion-

Insufficient intelligence.

Yes, insufficient intelligence.

Something must have happened, something very important and far-reaching that I didn't know at all, but something very important, far-reaching, because only then could it be explained, and Victoria would have done this-

"Intelligence, intelligence—" William walked around his office several times with his hands behind his back, and then said to his secretary, Elise, who was also his wife, "During this time, is there any information coming from the country and the Old World?"

"There is still the Old World in the country...... No, I don't. Elise asked inexplicably, "Why do you ask, William...... But speaking of which, I really haven't seen much information and information from the Old World in the past few days. Is something going on?"

Although there is no answer, there is no message in itself, so it can be regarded as a message.

William, who had asked this, nodded, and then stopped talking.

"It seems that there are indeed things going on that I don't know yet, and those things have changed Victoria's mind and forced her to bow to me on these things. William muttered to himself, and then, under Elise's curious gaze, explained the matter to her a little bit.

"I see, if that's the case, does that mean we don't need to give up the attack, we don't need to negotiate with the Sikhs, we can go on the offensive?"

“...... In theory, that's true. William nodded, agreeing with Elise's idea.

He thought about it a little.

Yes, if this is the case, then there is no need for him to go south in such a simple and anxious way to fight to the death with the Marathas and the Briton Expeditionary Force under Victoria.

Since this is the case, then he does not need to be in a hurry. That is, he has more time at his disposal. It is also possible to devote more of this available time to attacking the remnants of the Sikhs.

Completely different from the current rotten and degenerate Indians who look like idiots and scum like scum whose papier-mâché windows can be broken with a single stab, these Sikh fellows still have two brushes in battle.

It doesn't even have to be that these guys are in a state of prosperity.

If it is not the Russian Gothic Empire and the Bretons who are intertwined, then compare the differences between the Sikhs and the ordinary Indians. It is impossible to say that the Sikhs will finally win the final victory in the South Asian subcontinent and achieve hegemony.

Even if they can't unify the whole of Indi, it is possible to build a huge empire like the Mughal Empire, which occupies most of the Indi, and can be done.

It's just that now, their dreams are shattered, and there is no possibility of success at all.

But even this cannot change the fact that these Sikhs will be the biggest stumbling block on the road to the conquest of Indy by the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force.

They had no way to defeat the Russian Gothic Empire, and they had no way to change the fact that outsiders like the Russian Gothic Empire, the Briton Kingdom, had the upper hand on the Indy Road. However, they still have a way, and their solution is to slow down the progress of the Russian Gothic Empire, so that the empire has to spend more power, money and manpower to suppress and manage. Increased the colonial cost of the Russian Gothic Empire to administer the Indic-occupied areas and colonies.

In a situation where something is unprofitable, then no one will like to do that kind of thing, except for a very small number of responsible people's governments.

It's like that's the case now. If the Russian Gothic Empire had no way to get money from his government business, and even had to pay for his colonies, then the Russian Gothic Empire's government, as well as the royal family, might continue happily for the sake of face.

But the people, the military, and the government will lose interest in running and even continuing to expand the colony. After that, the colonial cause of the Russian Gothic Empire will usher in a low ebb.

Perhaps, this is what those Sikhs were really able to do, and even one thing that affected the course of history to a certain extent.

For the Sikhs themselves, this may be a boast, but for Wilhelm von Hereford and his great empire, it was unacceptable, intolerable and unforgivable.

In any case, William would not allow such a thing to happen, and William could not accept the fact that he would eventually lose to these bastards.

Even in the future, he could say that all the Sikh guys were killed, even the guys who had a relationship with them, and the bastards were killed together. But even if it were, what could it be? Even so, there was no way to undo his great plan, the world empire or something. In this case, what else can William do except look up at the sky and choke speechlessly?

"So, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity indeed, and since this opportunity has appeared in front of me, then I should not hesitate to seize it. Well, yes, that's true. ”

After thinking about this matter, William casually wrote a vaguely worded letter to Victoria, in which William agreed with Victoria in principle, that is, William was indeed willing to make another alliance with Victoria, and then obtain sufficient resources for their common good.

Of course, at least so far, there is no evidence of any common interest between William and Victoria, between the Russian Gothic Empire and the Kingdom of Briton.

However, since Victoria said such a thing, it proves that Victoria is absolutely confident that this common interest will be identified.

Next, William waited quietly for Victoria's letter, and during that time waited for information about the Old World from the mainland to confirm whether his suspicions were correct.

During this waiting time, William naturally will not be idle and do nothing, launch an attack on the last stronghold of the Sikhs, and wipe out all these guys who can barely fight and will cause trouble to the world empire of the Russian Gothic Empire, which is what William will do next-

Yes, if William keeps some of these guys a little bit and then uses some means, then he can take these Sikhs for his own use. As a higher-level cannon fodder, and a higher-level servant army, these guys must be quite useful.

With such an auxiliary legion, if William wants to do something else, it should be very simple, and it will bring a lot of convenience to his conquest of India-

However,

Even so.

Even so, he didn't want to do it.

Because these guys are brave and good at fighting.

William didn't need a brave and warlike Indian. Even if these guys have completely different religions.

He always had a hunch that if one day he left it alone, then the Indians would gradually turn into such heroic Sikhs one after another.

Although that possibility is not very high, although there is also a situation in the future where the Sikhs will become corrupt and degenerate, as if they are completely unbeatable like the current Indians, William still does not want to gamble.

Simply stifle all threats in infancy, which is actually a better tactic for William.

No, it should be said, it's actually much better.

And just like that, under the leadership of William, the general assault began. Although the Maharaja of Landit repeatedly sent people to negotiate peace with William, hoping to exchange for a slightly more decent peace - and even said that he was willing to abdicate and give everything to William, as long as he could save his life, William did not hesitate to refuse him.

He had made up his mind that he was going to destroy it all, and William's decision would not be changed by the plea of the prince of an insignificant Indian princely state.
