In this way, William turned the most powerful and massive country in the world with his own will. At the same time www.biquge.info William used his will as a link to bring the world's most powerful army to victory.

For now, at least, Wilhelm von Hereford is the only one capable of doing this. Maybe there won't be a second person who can do it after that.

But, at least for now, there are dissenting opinions. Think you need to be treated better.

This man was Leopold.

In the regular army of the Russian Gothic Empire, with the main forces still 108,000 miles away from him, the young general did a good job in Nicoleia.

At least in the case of the Visigothic soldiers of the Republic, they are doing well.

A small number of Imperial second-line troops who had been left behind in Nirosia to suppress and guard them found themselves in a bad situation after a little resistance.

They then ceded most of Silosis, even the relatively important port of Alexandria.

The only thing they need to hold on to at the moment, William has given a death order, and they must hold it no matter what. In any case, let these bastards hold on, and if they are lost, the whole family will be buried and die together, there is only one place.

It is not the port of Alexandria, nor Cairo, the capital of Nicoleia, but the Canal Zone.

The Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the world. At the same time, it is also one of the busiest rice crops at the moment.

Although it is a bit of an exaggeration to say so. However, the reason why the Russian Gothic Empire was able to supreme the rest of the world with such national power, why the empire was able to transport a large number of armed forces, troops and resources to the East, and why it was able to maintain the colonial rule of the Zoroastrian Empire, Afghanistan and the northwestern region of Indy, this waterway was very important.

The reason why the Russian Gothic Empire dared to carry out the second expedition with confidence and boldness, the war of conquest of the East, or something, was because the canal built by the Russian Gothic Empire was put into use.

The ships that came and went in and out of this busy waterway every day also transported the logistical supplies and baggage needed by the garrisons of the Russian Gothic Empire in the Far East. At the same time, the resources that the empire developed from there and obtained were continuously transported.

If the Russian Gothic Empire is compared to a strong giant, then this waterway is one of the most important aortas and blood vessels of the giants.

If anything goes wrong with this waterway, then the empire will be in trouble, a little more serious, and it will even shake the foundations of the empire's rule over the East.

So, even if it is somewhere else, but this canal, no matter what, must be, must be defended.

In most cases, William was willing to play the role of a benevolent ruler who loved his soldiers like a son. But this time it's a different story. He stared at the group of guys like this, and then gave them a death order in an unquestioning tone, deciding the fate of these bastards in very cold words.

See this canal? It's not water that flows, it's gold. Every day passing through this canal, the empire can earn more money than you can imagine. You can say that if you exchange the same weight of gold for all of you, you can't exchange it for this canal, not even a tenth, one hundredth, you know what that means?

Your lives are now tied to this canal. If this canal is safe and sound, then you will have nothing to do and you will be able to live in peace. Of course, as the head of the local garrison, you will also gain a lot of benefits. I can turn a blind eye to what you are doing.

But if anything goes wrong with the canal, it can't be solved by a quick visit, my friends, do you know what that means?

Even if you are sold, even if you are killed, even if you are killed along with your entire family, it will not compensate for the loss of this canal, the impact and losses caused to the empire.

If you can understand this, then work for me, my friends, and that's all I have to say to you, and good luck for you.

That's pretty much it.

At that time, the commander of the second-line defense army was full of promises, patted his chest and assured William that there was no problem, no problem at all, as long as he was here for a day, then the canal would never fail.

But what he had in mind was not at all like this, and he was so unimpressed by what William said.

The Russian Gothic Empire has such a strong national power, the empire's army is invincible, and it is the world's largest army power. And in his opinion, Nirosia is far away from the strife of the Old World, and there will be no big war at all. Their greatest mission targets are the pathetic natives of Silosis.

These guys are weak chickens, and they can easily beat these guys to the ground, and they have no skin or something.

So, a situation like what William said is simply impossible, hahahaha......

Thinking about the blindly confident idiot-like self at that time, the regimental commander was depressed and wanted to die.

Originally, he thought that this was a good errand, but his ability was not comparable to those colleagues, and after being assigned to the regiment of the local garrison army, he basically had no intention of climbing up. The military rank and official position have basically come to an end at this point. The next step is to slowly work on the qualifications. If you can, it's no problem to survive to a lieutenant general, or even a general, before you are discharged from the army.

Being able to get enough benefits also paves the way for the younger generations in the family. In this way, I can sit back and relax for the rest of my life.

There was nothing wrong with that. But why is this happening, why are these damn Visigoths attacking here like crazy?

Could it be that these guys are trying to seize this golden waterway?

Without enough overall vision and not enough strategic vision, the corps commander, who had benefited a lot by relying on the proximity to the canal, could only make such a completely incorrect conclusion, as William thought.

But no matter what, he still knows it, he still understands it.

As William had said, the fate of him, and his army, was inextricably linked to the canal.

Defend this canal no matter what, even if you die, and then drag the enemy to hell. He's all over the place.

......

Of course, in fact both Wilhelm von Hereford and the garrison commander made a slight mistake.

Yes, the Suez Canal is a golden waterway. It is the most important waterway transport hub in the world. At present, however, only a few people recognize the value of this waterway.

This few, apart from William and the top of the Russian Gothic Empire, which was mainly related to overseas expansion and commerce, was only a little known to the other maritime powers, the top leaders of the Britons.

And these two groups do not include the Visigothic Republic.

Or in the former Visigothic kingdom, there will be some people with enough ability and intelligence to understand the value of this waterway, but such people are usually hung up. Even if he didn't hang up, he could only barely get by, and he was full of hatred for the current republic, and he would never give advice for the republic.

If the Republican guys really knew the value of this golden waterway, they would not hesitate to order General Leopold to attack the Canal Zone.

It is even possible that these guys will expand the quantity and quality of the expeditionary force and open a new battlefield for this canal to contain the power of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Yes, although the two sides did not make a high-sounding declaration of war on a diplomatic occasion or anything. But sending so many expeditionary forces to attack the Empire's overseas territories is no different from a declaration of war.

Although this is not in accordance with the rules, and there is no observance of diplomatic etiquette or anything, but for this guy who is determined to overthrow the entire decaying old world, the so-called diplomatic etiquette, the so-called rules also need to be broken. These things don't need to exist at all! Well, that's it.

After being carried away by the recent string of victories, these guys already feel invincible.

Now that he is invincible in the world, since he can talk about everything, everything is trampled underfoot, and there is nothing to worry about for so long. That's what they think.

So, they didn't know how important the Canal area was to the Russian Gothic Empire, or even to the whole world. These guys just lost a chance in vain.

Yes, if General Leopold had launched a desperate attack on the Canal Zone of the Gothic Empire in Russia at this time, then it would have been possible to take the Canal Zone.

Although most of this kind of capture will not last, most of them will eventually be counterattacked by the Russian Gothic Empire. But as long as they can use a little means, such as blowing up the sluices, or blocking the river, etc., so that the canal is unusable for a short time, then it is a considerable victory.

The Russian Gothic Empire would suffer heavy losses as a result, and would even have to make certain adjustments and compromises in its own strategy.

It's just a pity that they didn't.

Well, yes, not at all.

General Leopold, who did not know the importance of the canal, did not pay much attention there. In fact, here he was somewhat inspired by the invincibility of the army of the Republic, and considered himself so great that even the army of the Russian Gothic Empire would be defeated by them.

Therefore, instead of pursuing those remnants of the defeated army, he focused on another thing. And that's why he's here. (To be continued.) )
