"Other than that, it's the development of the New World. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 "William is still thinking.

That's pretty much it for the South Seas. Although the Empire had a certain advantage over the Britons, it was not very large. Although the empire is strong, there are many places that need to be used and maintained in all aspects. In this case, the Empire could not reasonably start a large-scale, all-encompassing war in the South Seas and then replace the presence of the Bretons there.

"At least we can't do that until Indy stabilizes. William thought to himself.

That's pretty much it, for the empire, everything is brand new. Everything is like this.

By the time William had returned to Moscow, the third census of the Reich had begun.

Of course, this census does not include the territory of the former Ottoman Empire in the south, and the Zoroastrian Empire and the Indies in the south, the former being a trusteeship and vassal, while the latter two are the colonial hierarchy.

In other words, such a time-consuming and laborious thing as conducting a census, the empire simply did not need to do it for those people.

It would cost you enough to conduct a census for your own homeland.

Although the empire is currently powerful enough and has a strong financial situation, there are also a lot of places for the empire to spend money, and various reforms, maintaining a large overseas expansion, and the cost of overseas legions are all financial burdens for the empire.

Only in this case, the officials of the empire will secretly complain.

They do have the most powerful and best monarch in the world.

However, it is precisely because of the strength and excellence of this monarch that his desires, his ambitions, are stronger than those of ordinary monarchs.

This kind of desire and ambition is not like some mediocre fool, who simply wants to expand his territory and make his name famous for centuries and so on. Those perceptive Imperial officials could more or less sense what William wanted.

That's definitely not that shallow, definitely not that boring stuff.

Even then, they couldn't figure out what it was.

All in all, time is moving forward, and William's empire is moving forward in the flames of the old world.

When the Second Battle of Frisia began, William finally managed to more or less deal with the potential bureaucracy. And put a shackle on the monster with the Parliament, or rather the name he insisted on, the "Congress of Names."

The reforms of the empire finally began gradually, slowly, and methodically.

That is, when William wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he waited for three bad news.

And these three bad news are all related to the Visigothic Republic, which is now on the rise.

Second Battle of Frisia. The Rotterdam garrison is still the core.

In fact, the current Frisia is no longer of much importance to the Bretons of continental power.

Because here, all the regions except Rotterdam were occupied by the Visigoths.

Their vanguard had even crossed Frisia and advanced towards the Grand Duchy of Jutland, as well as the Pomeranian region of the Russian Gothic Empire.

In this case, the Rotterdam garrison has become meaningless.

In this way, in the "coldest late autumn of the century", the fall of Rotterdam announced the complete change of hands of the whole of Frisia.

If it weren't for another round of fighting in the Visigothic Republic, perhaps they would have begun to advance towards the Duchy of Jutland and Pomerania.

This made the Bretons breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were somewhat gloating.

In the Second Battle of Rotterdam, the Russian Gothic Empire did not send more reinforcements.

Now it seems that William's statement of "hold on, reinforcements will come to your rescue immediately" is simply a lie.

In addition, the Imperial army now garrisoned in Rotterdam did not fight as valiantly as the last time.

Of course, of course, there are also some problems of the Britons themselves, all kinds of digging into the wall, dragging their feet, and so on. But the Bretons themselves would never admit it......

All in all, Rotterdam was lost. The Imperial army and the remnants of Briton's defeated generals managed to break away by sea with ease.

It's just that there are some questions and disagreements about where to go after the separation.

Duchess Victoria and her mother, Lady Maria, rightly wanted to return to Britton with their army.

Now, the Bretons of Continental faction had no more land left in the Old Continent - Bohemia and Austria, two important allies, began to fall to the Russian Gothic Empire as quickly as possible after the fall of Frisia.

The royal families of both countries are not idiots, they know exactly who will be able to protect them in this situation.

This is true even if the King of Bohemia and the King of Britton are from the same family.

In this case, the family, blood relationship or something, has to give way to the reality of the situation.

In this case, Victoria's mother and daughter, who would have returned to Briton, would have been in a very difficult situation—but if in the process they had brought with them three legions of allies who could fight well, then things would have been different.

Although, the empire was nominally allied with the kingdom of Briton.

But because of the delicate relationship between the Hereford family and the Normandy family, the Victorians were confident that they would win the support of the Empire on such an issue.

Freya, however, had something else in mind.

During this time, I have had enough of the suffering of my pig teammates. Freya was skeptical about the choice of going to Briton.

She wasn't sure what kind of treatment her army would be like in the Briton area.

Moreover, after a long battle, the soldiers of the army under her command also felt more or less homesick.

In addition, those elites of the Briton Continental faction, high-level members do not want to go back to Briton because of the secret communication with the empire during this time, as well as for their own safety considerations.

They all expected Freya to stand up and fight for the fleet to sail to the port of Riga, anchor in the Bolotsk region, and then enter the Empire's defenses.

Such disagreements led to quarrels between the two sides. Of course, in the end, no one got their wish. Each side took a step back.

The Mainlanders of Breton, as well as the Russian Gothic Empire's levies, as well as most of the armies of the two standing legions, would go to Riga. The Briton army, as well as a small number of Imperial elites, as well as Freya, the forward commander of the Imperial Army, will go to Briton with the Britons.

On the one hand, he is making a state visit to Briton to discuss the current situation on the mainland, which is out of control. In addition, it is to support the Normandy family.

Although Freya is unhappy with the latter purpose, and she doesn't want to do it, she is helpless.

This is a matter of strategy for the great empire, and it must be accomplished no matter how much you don't want to.

That's the way it is. Elsewhere, at least in the Old Continent, the most important and seemingly powerful country is still the Visigothic Republic.

People are glad that the country has a chaotic ruling class, because everyone knows that if the country has a strong enough ruler to control everyone, then the situation in the world will naturally change.

Fortunately, there are no similar characters yet, and this is the only thing that countries can be happy about.

In other words, although a country like the Visigothic Republic can fight, although its combat effectiveness is unimaginably strong, but because of their internal chaos, even if they leave it there alone, the country will not be able to sustain itself in the end, and it will explode on its own. Then everyone will be able to eat meat or something.

It's all possible.

In addition to this, there is another thing that makes William a little concerned.

The small group of Visigothic remnants of the defeated army that he had beaten out of Nirosia seemed to have gained a foothold in the Libyan region, not only did they gain a foothold, but they were very moisturized.

Although the country's supply was basically cut off, somehow, a group of Berber pirates were recruited. After getting in touch with the Visigothic Republic, through smuggling transport, a certain amount of supplies was obtained. At the same time, by flickering, I mean, encouragement, some reinforcements were obtained.

In this way, the Leopold general has gained a foothold in the Libyan region.

This area has deep ties to the Visigoths. The original Visigoths saw the region as their home reservation - of course, after the gradual decline of the Kingdom of Asturias.

After the Visigothic kingdom was destroyed by the revolution, the Visigoths who were originally in this area seemed to have lost their backbone, although they could still scare people with their prestige for a while, but no one knew what would happen after a long time.

Now, however, all of this is cheaper for Leopold.

The Republic, the Kingdom, the Royalists or the Revolutionaries, these questions are not right in Visigothic properness. But in this kind of colony-like, or even inferior, sphere of influence, it is not a big deal. In addition, this general is quite good at being a man, so in a short period of time, this group of people was co-opted by him.

As a result, the general quickly got rid of the shadow left by William's defeat in Nirosia and became complacent again.

And in the eyes of some Visigothic rulers, his army, as a matter of course, also has a certain use.

More troops, more supplies followed, and the army, which had been crippled by William, came back to life. (To be continued.) )
