Logically, all mathematical models of classical economics presuppose people as rational characters - but this in itself is one of the biggest mistakes.

No one in this world is absolutely rational. In terms of economic actors, they will certainly shop around. But they will also be deceived many times, and sometimes they will buy inferior goods because they want to buy them cheaply. Sometimes, I will dig my wallet because of false publicity.

In addition, there are some passionate consumption, as well as emotional consumption, as well as star-chasing, irrational consumption of fans and so on.

And that's true in this matter, yes.

Although, it was a pretty good choice to be loyal to the Emperor as the King of Frisia and successfully transform into an Imperial nobleman - even many traditional Briton nobles would choose this way, and even be happy to do so -

Although they also have no small interests in the Briton Islands. But if there is to be a division and trade-off, there will certainly be some of them who think that the interests of the mainland are more important. In other words, it is believed that the mainland side has more prospects for development. Or maybe the future of the Russian Gothic Empire was better than that of Briton.

In this case, it is conceivable that these people will gather under the banner of the Empire, and it is conceivable that they will transform themselves into Imperial nobles.

In fact, Victoria understands this. Even if he didn't say so much to William for a while, even if she didn't represent Britton's promise to recognize William's suzerainty over the nobles in these regions, wouldn't William be able to seize these things himself? Or could she stop those guys who yearn for a powerful empire, especially those whose interests are not very secure with Britton, and at the same time, Briton has no way to deal with them, threatening their guys to take refuge in William?

Is it possible?

It's simply not possible. Completely impossible. It can't be done at all.

If they don't admit it, William will most likely ignore their affairs and get in touch with those guys directly. Bypassing Briton, this can be done in the same way. However, at that time, the position of the Britons and the position of the Britons were awkward. And those nobles are also equivalent to completely tearing their faces with the Britons, originally, the Britons can still make these people feel more or less through favors and friendships and the like. But now that they have completely torn their faces, they don't have to worry about Britton and can completely throw themselves into the arms of the Empire.

In this case, the Britons naturally knew that they might as well pretend to be generous and pretend that they were admitting. Then let these nobles leave a personal favor, and it will be easy to talk when they meet in the future. It is even said that one day, the wind and clouds on the road suddenly changed, and Briton got the time of heaven or something, and when he communicated with these people again, Briton could expand a large area of territory in an instant.

None of this is necessary. Well, yes, not necessarily.

These Victorias are very clear, and Victoria wants to open them too. The only thing she couldn't think of, or at all, couldn't think of, was that William could hit her with an idea.

Since those nobles could turn to the Empire, then the Normandy family could also turn to the Empire.

They have enough interests on the mainland, and they are also more optimistic about the development prospects of the mainland, and they are also more optimistic about the development prospects of the empire. So to this day, can't the Normandy family see this?

Although it is said that defecting to the empire will cause them to experience severe pain in a short time. But the process could be slowed down a bit. As long as both parties have this intention. In addition, the Bretons currently have to rely on the empire for war, as well as to maintain the situation on the continent, deal with the Visigoths, and so on. Then it is not unthinkable or impossible for the Normandy family to transfer the family center of gravity and core resources to the territory of the empire little by little.

In this case, it only takes a few years, or even less, for the Normandy family to be reborn.

After merging with the Normandy family, both the power of the Russian Gothic Empire and the power of William's Hereford family can be greatly increased. It's good for both parties.

However, this matter that is beneficial to both sides, and Battlefield Hara is not even daring to mention it now.

This is because he guessed Victoria's heart.

Yes, Victoria, in terms of "rationality", is not up to the mark—at least not in William's opinion. Whatever benefit to both sides of the Normandy's defection to the Empire, it is unlikely that she will agree—nay, it should be said that it is very unlikely.

Because she has been entangled with the empire and the Hereford family for more than ten years. Defeating William, defeating the Hereford family, and defeating the Russian Gothic Empire has almost become an obsession of Victoria.

Asking her to give up what she had worked so hard for a long time, what she had struggled for, and to take refuge in her imaginary greatest enemy, Victoria would never be able to do.

This is also the reason why William doesn't dare to talk to her about it at all now, just mentioning other people on the side, and barely starting.

If he had said this to her directly, William was sure that Victoria would definitely refuse without hesitation, and would think that William's words were insulting to her, so she was excited and unhappy and even more hostile to William.

"So, it's a really bad job. William sighed in his heart. At the same time, I am happy in my magnanimity.

Just like Victoria has always looked at William unpleasantly for so many years, William's eyes are not happy when he looks at Victoria.

Once upon a time, the combination of Victoria de Normandy, the Norman family of the Briton Kingdom, was also William's old enemy, and it was also the object that William hoped to defeat and surpass.

But now, William felt that he could let go of this hatred and look at it calmly.

Of course, of course, this is also the current situation in William's favor, and it is currently William's preparation to accept the other party as his subordinate.

If things were reversed, perhaps Victoria would have been magnanimous, and William would never have been able to accept it.

"History, though, doesn't have an 'if' word. William thought so in his heart, and then couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

More than ten years of fierce battle, more than ten years of hard work. He finally became the world's first-class ruler, and his family, his country, finally overwhelmed the House of Normandy and the Kingdom of Briton.

Although there were all kinds of messy things in the process, it was better to say that the Visigothic kingdom had suddenly risen or something, but William still felt very happy and very happy.

As he said before, there are no "ifs" in history.

This round of negotiations with Victoria has come to an end for the time being. William was in a happy mood. Victoria's mood was very heavy.

William also didn't know if Victoria had noticed his intentions after this round of conversation. It is even more unclear whether Victoria will seriously think about defecting to the empire after knowing about this.

But even so, William's thinking was still alive.

This is just the beginning. As long as there is this beginning. Then as time went on, it was only natural that Victoria would think more. will also be constantly forced to "recognize reality" by various blows. On top of that, it's important to note that Victoria doesn't fully represent the Normandy family. She was also above her mother, the Lady of Mary......

Thinking of that lady, William's original good mood vanished in an instant, and he was unhappy, and even said that he wanted to kill again.

If he could be magnanimous with Victoria because he had outdone Victoria in all respects, then William would not have let go of that lady so easily.

"Someday, you'll regret it. William thought to himself.

Not now, of course.

At least until the Visigothic Republic falls, he must maintain his cooperation with the Kingdom of Briton.

No, it's a bit of a stretch to say "must".

It should be said that the "must" is the Kingdom of Briton. And William's should be the "best". Of course, as a sane person, the actual meaning of "must" and "best" for William is actually pretty much the same.

He'll do it.

This little episode did not make the whole negotiation too uncertain. Perhaps even Victoria herself didn't notice the meaning of William's words. And not to mention others. They saw this round of negotiations as one of many between William and Victoria. I don't care too much, and I don't want to care.

After that, negotiations continued. The two sides continued to quarrel over the division of the Old World, hoping to extract the most benefits for their country and rulers.

Eventually, after difficult negotiations, the division of the Ostrogothic Empire came to an end.

Despite his reluctance, Briton had to admit the Empire's hegemony over the Ostrogoths.

With the exception of the Kingdom of Frisia, all other territories of the empire were owned by the Empire. The only thing the Bretons managed was to retain the Habsburgs and the kingship of the two states of Bohemia and Austria in the north, which were controlled by the branch of the Briton crown.

Of course, in William's plan, the empire would be more centralized. The ultimate rights of these two "kingdoms" will also be vested in the "Kingdom Prime Minister" sent by the Empire, and the Kingdom Prime Minister will be directly responsible to the Emperor and the central government of the Empire. As for those two royal families...... Just a little bit as a mascot and a signboard, you can worship it.

Well, yes, yes, that's it. For now, that's the best way to go.

As for the future, when the empire goes to war with the Britons, if the two royal families can get to know each other a little, then it is not impossible to let them continue to exist a little. And if they don't know each other and want to do something, William will definitely make them regret being born in this world.
