Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about for the time being. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf we do that, we will face a very big, very important, very serious problem, and that is that there will be a strong conflict with the Bretons.

The Bretons seem to have made the empire their most important territory, building the Gothic Empire with the interest of building their own territory.

Although William was somewhat bitter and happy, he was very good, and when he took back these lands, he would be able to save a lot of construction expenses.

But to think about it is to think about it. This attitude proves that these guys are serious about the Empire, and that if anyone wants to swallow the Empire from them, they will fight with that person.

Now, the Ottoman Empire is on the verge of collapse, the Visigothic kingdom is in disarray, and Asturias is in ruins. The only two most powerful countries in the world are the Gothic Empire, the Gothic Empire of the Hereford Family, and the Kingdom of Briton.

"What are the odds of winning a war with the Britons now?" thought to William.

However, in addition to this question, "thinking about this question" also has a point in itself, that is, William now finally has the capital and strength to be able to fight the Britons with all his might.

"Ten years. Thinking of this, William sighed a little, unconsciously, so much time has passed. And the relationship between him and Victoria is constantly changing. To this day, it is almost endless.

Why is this willing? William sighed slightly. But then he laughed like a self-deprecation, and he had reached this point, and he even claimed that he didn't know the reason, saying this kind of thing, who would believe it, it's true.

It's not that I don't know, I just know, but I don't want to admit it. After all, it's not something to boast about. What's more, in a sense, the other party is also his own relatives. Even further, the other party can be counted as a member of the Hereford family.

Although the other party has no such consciousness at all, it seems that he has no intention of becoming a family member at all.

"So, traitor...... No, maybe that's how the other side sees me. Hum. Pointless. ”

After a brief sigh, William closed his eyes again and continued to think. Then I came to the conclusion that I don't know if it should be good or bad.

That is, if he breaks with the Britons now and then goes to war, the odds of victory are really not high. Even if you have a mental calculation or not, and at the beginning of the war, you will dispatch secret weapons such as ironclad ships, and go all out.

Perhaps in the early stages of the launch, it will be possible to gain a huge strategic and tactical advantage by surprise. But it's another thing to turn these strategic and tactical advantages into victories.

It would be bad if we didn't win the war quickly and turn it into a protracted war. The Bretons are likely to use their more abundant resources and advanced technology to quickly arm more people and rally more allies. Eventually, William's empire may have turned into a tragic end like the Third Reich.

It's sad to think about.

"So, there's no need to think about going west anytime soon. William thought to himself: "The empire does not yet have the strength to go to war with the Britons in an all-out war and win the battle. ”

Of course, having said that, William was equally convinced that the Bretons did not have the strength to defeat themselves.

In other words, the Britons were doing their best to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire. It's just that the empire's current power can seriously threaten the other side.

This "serious threat", on the one hand, made the Britons hostile to the Empire, and regarded the Empire as the greatest opponent that threatened the hegemony of the Britons. On the other hand, they are also doing their best to avoid direct confrontation with the Empire. Because it would be a great loss of their national strength.

Although there are no sandpiper mussels competing for fishermen in this world, there are similar words. They were afraid that when the Empire went to war with the Kingdom of Briton, and then a new nation would rise up, and the Britons, who had consumed too much strength, would no longer be able to stop them.

In this case, secretly playing tricks against the Herefords, Russia-Gothic Empire, and waging the Cold War became the greatest tactical policy of the Britons - of course, in addition to these, they had another ability than the Soviets and the United States, and that was colonial warfare.

As I said before, the mainstream of the current world doesn't really take colonial wars seriously. In the colonies, people's heads were beaten out of dogs' heads, and it is not for nothing that friendship lasts forever in the Old World.

The Britons believed that a colonial war was the best option for a country as expansionist as the Empire.

It's like this. The empire was very pleasantly engaged in the war of conquest of Zoroaster. At the same time coveting Indy.

This is the reason why they are eager to conquer India - of course, the land, resources, and population of India are very important, and whoever can conquer India will be one step ahead in the world hegemony. But at the same time, there is also a reason, which is to have a colonial war with the Hereford family.

"Come to think of it, that's what I want to do. William thought to himself.

The localities wanted to weaken the Herefords in the colonial wars, and the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire, didn't want to weaken those guys in the colonial wars.

Of course, this requires a prerequisite for making sure that you can win the colonial war.

William wasn't too worried. This guy has been in this world for more than ten years, and he has done nothing else, and some of them are left to fight. It can be said that William participated in almost all the important major battles of this era, winning more and losing less, and even saying that he was always undefeated.

There are quite a few people who boast that he is the number one player in the world in this era. William himself didn't really think so, but it was basically the same. Mmmmmmmm So he didn't think he was going to fail at all.

"The only problem is still logistics. In all colonial wars, or operations on the outside, the most important thing is logistical supply. William thought to himself.

For this era, the most important, or the most effective, is naturally the nautical industry. As a means of transportation that is in the ascendant and is far from reaching its limits. Although railways are developing rapidly, they are still not comparable to shipping.

Unlike the Britons, the Hereford family worked very hard to develop the shipping industry, and through plundering and takeover, they acquired a number of ready-made ships. If it comes to the number of ships, then the Hereford family probably won't lose to anyone.

The problem is that shipping isn't just about ships.

hydrological information, as well as ports and resupply sites. These are all important factors that restrict a country's shipping industry.

The Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire, were far from being the opponents of his enemies in this respect.

So, even though the Herefords have now conquered Zoroaster, as well as the entire Ottoman Empire. However, if they wanted to wage a colonial war against the Britons in Indy, it would still be a stupid way to transport supplies by land.

At the same time, the Britons will easily take advantage of their advantages - their shipping lanes, and their various colonial ports, with massive supplies and better logistics to bring down the Hereford family.

With this in mind, William came up with a tactic - no, a strategy - no matter what, he was bound to keep Nirosia in his hands. Then, one of the most important projects in the world, the Suez Canal, can be launched.

By mastering this vital canal, the empire could save tens of thousands of kilometers of voyages. Completely fill the Empire's deficiencies in logistical supply support.

"That is, even to the east, it takes enough time to prepare. William thought to himself.

Although I feel a little unwilling, I think about it, I should solve the affairs of the Ottoman Empire and the Zoroastrian Empire. Again, it can't be done in a few years.

In a few years, I am afraid that these places will be initially stabilized.

If he could, William would indeed want to take down a place and stabilize a place. Stabilizing a place gives that place enough output and manpower to supply the empire with more troops, more resources, and more services.

However, the reality is, no.

If he wanted to defeat the Bretons in his lifetime, he couldn't follow this slow pace.

William must move faster. It is necessary to swallow dates in order to obtain the most benefits in the shortest time. He had to use such a short and fast speed to accumulate enough strength to wrestle with the Britons, and defeat the Britons in his lifetime, making the empire the most powerful nation in the world.

Because, William is also afraid, and even said that William is afraid.

Every time one's strength is stronger, one's industrial strength will increase by one point, and one's scientific and technological ability will be improved by another. He would be more and more aware of what kind of monster he was up against.

It was a monster-like country where industry, commerce and technology were perfectly combined. It has a differential machine, the best steam engine equipment, the world's most complete industrial system, tens of millions of people and tens of millions of ruled people, the world's best scientific research equipment, scientific research environment and scientific research team, and of course the world's most abundant experimental funds.

This is Briton, the Briton in the middle of the day. Even if there was a slight setback in the New World, in the process of conquering the Old World, William was somewhat overshadowed twice, and the loss was a bit much. However, it doesn't matter to them. For a truly powerful empire, the slightest loss is completely insignificant. He can accept it, and he doesn't care.

Despite William's efforts, he could only watch step by step as this powerful empire moved towards world domination.

It is not at all modest to say that William considers himself a genius.

Well, yes, genius. It's literal.

It's a bit exaggerated and a little arrogant, but that's exactly what it is, and Wilhelm von Hereford was a genius. He is the best administrator, the best reformer, the best ruler in the world, and the best military theorist, military reformer and commander.

William believed that the Russian-Gothic Empire was the most powerful of the Hereford family under his rule - and if the strength of the Britons was attributed to the all-round strength of the Britons accumulated over the centuries, then the strength of the Russian-Gothic Empire was at least, at least half, due to the strength of Wilhelm von Hereford.

William did not think that the Russian-Gothic Empire could have grown so quickly, so powerful, so deterrent and so challenging, with a different person to rule.

William also didn't think that what he couldn't do could be done by another person, even if that person was his own offspring.

So, William believed that if even he could not defeat the Britons, then the Britons would be invincible for at least a few hundred years. Even because these Bretons did not adopt a policy of glorious isolation, but a continental policy, their foundation was much better than that of Britain in William's previous life.

In this case, these guys can't beat no matter how you look at it.

This was William's greatest fear. It was also the reason why William would defeat the Britons in his reign no matter what.

"Well, the colonial war is not. If that's really what you want, then let it come. William made a decision at the end.

Indy will be his next target.
