In the following summer, in the summer of 1774, the Hereford family, the astonishing rise of the rookie with a shocking speed that stunned and left all the old European aristocrats speechless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info finally stopped his expansion.

That is, in a war with the Ottoman Empire, I don't know how many people were praying for the defeat of the Hereford family.

Because he's never failed before that.

The Hereford family, who are on the rise, are like the sky, and no one knows where his bottom is. It's like Alexander the Great, who launched a hurricane, or like the Mongols who launched a hurricane back then, enough to beat the world.

When faced with the forces of the Hereford family, no matter who they are, they will be defeated.

In the Great Frontier War, they miraculously defeated the mighty and incredible army of centaurs. In the ensuing series of battles, they defeated all their rivals within the territory of the Wende Kingdom. In their expansion, they easily defeated the traditional military powers of the human world, Asturias and Visigoth, and at the Battle of Magdeburg, they defeated the powerful emperor Kalman IV, who had hoped to unify the entire empire.

In this case, people can't help but want to ask, people sigh, one might even say wail.

Who else in this world can stop the Hereford family's soldiers?

Not for centaurs, not for Visigoths and Asturias, not for the Emperor. This time it was the turn of the Ottoman Empire.

Every opponent is so strong. Every opponent has an undefeated reputation before meeting the Hereford family, with the title of the strongest and invincible elite army. Every ruler, every general, every army is so invincible.

However, they were defeated and lost to the Hereford family. Lost to this magical family that was originally rich in genius knights, but now rich in genius commanders. It is for this reason that, despite the strength of the Ottoman Empire, the Dark Elves still hold the title of enemy of humanity. It has hundreds of thousands of land and sea troops. Tens of millions of people, vast territory, rich in products.

Theoretically, no matter how you look at it, the Hereford family has no chance of winning -

However, many superstitious, paranoid, and empiricist people still believe that the ultimate winner of this war will not be someone else. It's still going to be this magical, terrifying family. The Hereford family, no one can stop them. It's like Alexander the Great, the pinnacle of steppe nomadism, the natural disaster of Mongolia.

Then, the results appeared.

In June, the Hereford family, as the "supreme ruler of the human realms of the Great Frontier", signed a pact with the dark elves of the Ottomans. The agreement defines the territorial scope and sphere of influence of both sides. That is, the Ruthenia and Cuman-Kipchak steppe, which I have said many times before. and the agreement that stipulated that the Herefords would recognize the Ottoman occupation of Romania.

As later generations of GM teachers commented, this is a war for the partition of backward countries by powerful imperialist countries. Until the small and weak states of the world are known to be divided, it is unlikely that a major war will break out between the nations in a broad sense, as in the First and Second World Wars.

That's it.

There are different opinions about who won and who lost this war. But the vast majority of people agree that it was the Hereford family who won. After all, they got the two things they had always dreamed of,

The first is the ruling power of the entire Slavic world. As well as the ruling power that covers almost the entire "Great Frontier Region".

This is also the reason why when William signed an agreement with Ottoman's daughter, Sudan, he could use the title of "human ruler of the Great Frontier".

In fact, according to William's original meaning, he wanted to directly call himself "the ruler of the great frontier region", or even "the border emperor", "border Caesar" and the like.

But think about it, there are actually two areas in the big border area that are not controlled.

The first is what the Dark Elves have kept so far, which is Tronica. Second, that is, the Carpathian Kingdom.

Considering that these two regions belong to the Great Frontier but are not ruled by the Hereford family, William ends up adding a prefix, which is "human".

It was as if it were a small trick played by the Second German Reich, that is, Kaiser Wilhelm's empire.

The Emperor was crowned as "Emperor of Germany" rather than "Emperor of Germany" as Wilhelm I had intended. Because the Germanic peoples still had a traditional area of activity, Austria, which had not yet been conquered. Therefore, the name of the "German Emperor" is not right. It will also be opposed by the Austro-Hungarian Habsburgs.

Bismarck, the German Chancellor at the time, was very concerned about maintaining the alliance of the Three Emperors (Kaiser, Austria, and Tsar). In this case, they rightly paid attention to the mood of Austria-Hungary.

Speaking of which, Bismarck was really a rather great statesman, and quite a great royalist.

The reason why he is said to be a "great royalist" is naturally the "Three Emperors Alliance" that he leads.

Yes, yes, yes. The three countries, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia, have many contradictions at the national level – but at the same time, they have great common interests in one area.

In this regard, it is the royal family.

All three countries are monarchies. It was also the three strongest monarchies on the European continent at that time. In the face of the great ideological trend of the democratic republic that has been opened by the people's wisdom and the threat of revolution. If the three royal families work together to suppress all this, then their rule can still continue in a long-term stable manner.

And if the three royal families are at odds, or even at war, then the prospects are very bleak.

Only in the end, the ruling interests of the royal family still gave way to the interests of the state. The Three Emperors Alliance, with its many irreconcilable contradictions, eventually collapsed and disintegrated.

A world war that shattered three of the most powerful monarchies on the continent. It also made William sigh incomparably when he read this history - how nice it would be if he also had such an understanding royalist prime minister.

It's just a pity that there are not such good things in this world. At present, the Hereford family still does not have a guy who can support the position of prime minister.

Or maybe that person did, but William couldn't use it. Because that person was William himself.

Originally, William was the prime minister and King Otto was the ruler. The two-wheeled carriage model of one man dominating politics and one dominating the military was enough to keep the Hereford family moving forward steadily and quickly.

It's just a pity that the ignorant, or rather, overly compassionate, Virgin-hearted King Otto ruined it all. This made William feel very, very uncomfortable.

If King Otto had been involved in this war, William would have had much easier. Whether on the frontal battlefield in Kyiv or on the flanks of the Carpathians. The best commander in the world does not disappoint. As long as he has his support, then William doesn't need to compromise now, and he can have a lot more options.

He didn't even need to worry about the damned Lombards, he could just continue his powerful attack south. Push the entire Dark Elf Empire to the brink of collapse.

In this way, even the Ottoman Empire could barely survive in the end. The Hereford family has definitely gained much more in this war than it has now.

"So, it's a pity. William couldn't help but sigh again. Then collect the troops and return to Novgorod.

"After acquiring the whole of Ruthenia, Novgorod was no longer fit to be the capital of the empire. William thought as he collected his troops and went back.

In the absence of Ruthenia and the Cuman-Kipchak steppe in the south, Novgorod was somewhat unsuitable as the capital.

And after the acquisition of a large amount of land in the south, Novgorod was even more unsuitable.

So, William was going to move the capital south. The location of the capital, for granted, is located in the center of the Slavic world, and it is also the fourth and longest capital of the Slavic Empire in the classical era.

That is, Moscow.

It now stands east of the Kingdom of Perm, north of the Kingdom of Ruthenia, south of Novgorod, and southwest of the Kingdom of Kholmgard. The location is unbiased and very convenient.

It is a pity that after the collapse of the Slavic Empire in classical times, the capital was abandoned. It is also because of its location in the center of the empire. Because of this, it has become a so-called battleground for soldiers.

The three kingdoms plus a republic all wanted to take control of Moscow and the surrounding areas in order to establish their rightful succession to the classical Slavic Empire.

Their rivalry was fierce, and the war was fought very lively.

It is precisely for this reason that in the end, the entire Moscow region was scrapped. It became a scorched earth.

The feeling is like the feeling of the so-called Guanzhong area around Luoyang in the era when the heroes were competing for deer in the late Han Dynasty.

Because of its significance, because of its high status, and because of the fierce competition, it eventually became a scorched earth. Because of the loss of checks and balances between forces, in the end, this area was no longer cared for, and finally became a ruin......

China has a very profound inheritance of the essence of great unification, so no matter how many pieces it is broken into, how many years it is scattered. Eventually, it will all become one.

But the Slavic world is different. The Slavic world does not have the spirit that must be unified. At a time when modern nationalism did not emerge, there was little incentive to promote the unity of these countries.

And the truth doesn't allow them to do that.

Soon after the collapse of the classical Slavic Empire, the Slavic world was greeted by successive conquerors and invaders.

The nomadic tribes of the steppe, like wolves that smell blood, appear one after another, and then attack.

Eventually, the culmination of nomadic tactics and essence, the Centaur Khanate, was born. These Slavic states are in decline and regression. They no longer have the strength to conquer, develop, and unify the entire Slavic world.

And because of this, the entire Moscow region fell into decline.

Until now, not a single trace of civilization in the Moscow region has been absent. The largest number of people in this area are only a few nomads who come in a hurry and live in search of water and grass.

However, William still decided to establish a city in the Moscow region, and then set the capital.

It is not only a symbol of orthodoxy, but also the existence of the most powerful empire in the entire Great Frontier region. It is also the center of the entire large border area. It has abundant water resources and large areas of flat, fertile land. It can be developed, or paved with roads, and radiate the entire large border area with this as the center.

More importantly, there is a blank space, the so-called blank space, which is the easiest place to add your own color.

Here, Wilhelm did not need to compromise with those in Novgorod, to the parliament in Polotsk, to the local nobility, there was no need to cede power to them, in exchange for their support. William could have completely thrown those bastards away.

Of course, this time it will further increase the centralization of power.

This is one of the reasons why William chose Moscow as his capital.
