With the laying of railways, as well as their popularity, transportation in the empire became more convenient. This also makes it easy for the empire to happily link the whole world together.

However, an invention that William felt was equally important compared to the railroad was only recently revealed.

Unlike most of the high-tech inventions in the Old World, they were made by dwarves. This time, the technological invention came from humans.

That is, telegram.

Something pleasant. Well, really something to be pleasant with. It should be said that the talent of human beings, the ability of human beings to invent and create, and the numerical superiority of human beings have finally been revealed

Although William's care and guidance are indispensable in this, in any case, this is the first time that the human inhabitants of the empire have invented and created a great invention that can change the entire world.

Because of this, while laying the railway lines in the Empire, assuming power poles on both sides of the Imperial Railway has also become another top priority, a very important thing.

Telegram, telegram, telegram. It can be said to be the first tool in the world that can link the world in an instant. With this tool, it is much easier and easier for a vast empire to govern the country.

Come to think of it, it's a pleasant thing to do.

If the railroad is the blood vessel of the state, then the telegraph line is the nerve of the state.

The importance of the two is almost equal. Not to mention the military significance of these two inventions.

War, don't say a day, a few days. Even a minute and a second of time is meaningful. As long as you can get one step ahead of the other party, you can gain a huge advantage. The result of this advantage is tens of thousands of lives.

"Almost, this world. It can't be said to be the last war, but at least, it should be the last war in the Old World. William thought to himself, "I hope so." ”

A piece of cake.

No, it's a little bit of wasted energy. After all, after understanding that the imperial army came in, he had no rights at all, and those nobles had a very high will to fight.

However, the high will to fight of these nobles does not mean that they are very strong in combat. After all, the aristocracy and nobility represent a small number.

If the streets are full of aristocrats, then aristocrats are not nobles.

Therefore, it is useless for them to fight hard, and they must let their soldiers fight hard with them.

The problem is that it is not as good as it was then. There were no newspapers, and there were no ubiquitous Cheka agents. Those serfs who have never been out of the village in their lives are just what the noble lord says. There are quite a few well-informed guys who understand what this war is all about. It is also understood that if His Majesty the Great Emperor rules them, their lives will be better than before.

At least, at least, these bastards can pay a penny less. They were able to pay only one part of the national tax, and they didn't need to give the extra money to the nobles. In addition to this, many people have heard that life in the Russian Gothic Empire is almost like paradise. It's unbearably pleasant.

Although because the rumors are too exaggerated, people can't help but wonder: "Is this true or false?" But even if only one-fifth is true, then their lives are much better now.

In this way, although these noble lords and lords say that if the emperor kills him, then the world will be destroyed. If the Emperor kills you, he will kill all of you, and steal everything or something.

However, that doesn't make the guys below: "In that case, let's fight hard!"

feelings.

Sure enough. Although people in this era are still relatively easy to fool. But compared with before, those kind and simple idiots in the era of simple farming civilization are still much stronger.

The more knowledge you have, the more you know, the less easy it is to fool. This is a tragedy for all the rulers of the world.

As it is now, few people would think that beeping stands for beepism or not.

It looks like this.

The ultimate efforts of these nobles were nothing more than the fulfillment of the red-eyed Russian Gothic Empire army.

War means merit, and merit means reward. Power, status, honor, money. There's a whole bunch of delightful things to do.

In this case, there will still be people who are against the war, and there will be people who think that war is a bad thing. Or something else.

Of course, there will not be.

It's certainly not their style to be able to do anything for the sake of profit. After all, today, the moral level of the empire is still relatively high.

However. Kill enemies and gain military merits. This is a different matter for granted.

They really would rather their enemies be stronger, stronger.

Unfortunately, no.

These enemies said that they were chickens and dogs, and they all lifted them up.

They are in an era of old and new. The power of the two new dynasties on their own, and the power of the nobility they were able to wield, was not very strong.

In this case, they are not only unable to pull out a modern, well-trained army, but also not even fully equipped with weapons and equipment. In some places, the army was even maintained at the level of peasant soldiers of the feudal knight era.

In this case, in the face of the Russian Gothic Empire army, which was armed to the teeth relative to them. It's already best that they're able to get a little bit of a damper.

Then, the Imperial army easily crushed them.

Then, the administrative power of the empire moved in as quickly as possible. Exterminate most of the nobles as rebels. Leave a little bit of peace, or the Belt and Road Party that has cooperated with the Empire before, or some weak chickens who don't pose a threat.

In this way, the empire was able to annex these lands in the shortest possible time, if in times of peace.

Very unfortunate. It didn't happen.

In the south, on the Asturian Peninsula, it is overwhelming. The fact that the Russian Gothic Empire annexed the two imperial princes in a blink of an eye still calmed down the fiery mood of Archon Leopold a little.

To be honest, he really didn't want to fight against the Russian Gothic Empire right now.

In fact, he never stopped sending envoys to Briton and the Russian Gothic Empire to discuss whether an armistice could be held.

After all, although he also wanted to conquer the world and become the ruler of the world. But, in addition to such ambitions, the consul Leopold also possessed sufficient sanity, as well as sufficient judgment.

Under these circumstances, he rightfully knew how terrible it would be for the Republic to continue to fight against two such powerful countries and to continue to keep them in the economic blockade of the Republic.

Therefore, it is not necessary to restore peace, permanent peace or anything, as long as there is a temporary truce, so that the republic can take a breather. That's it. When the republic is repaired, it will be the end of those evil and sane pathetic creatures.

It's just a pity. The armistice of the Britons was too demanding. Let the Archon Leopold simply not accept it-

They demanded that Leopold give up all the land that did not belong to Visigoth.

These lands "do not belong to Visigothic". In addition to the two principalities that in principle and according to history were supposed to belong to the empire, Bern and Jutland, there were also the three kingdoms of Frisia, Lotternia and Franconia.

In addition, there is even Normandy, which is "supposed to belong to the Visigoths" - after all, this is by far the most prized territory of the Britons and the hereditary domain of the Normandy family.

This was so ridiculous for the nascent republic that they simply could not accept it.

How much effort did it take to control these lands, and how many lives did they expend to get to this result?

As a result, you will take it away if you say a word?

Think we're idiots?

Rightfully impossible.

On top of that, Normandy is a top priority.

Under the unremitting governance of the Normandy family, hundreds of years of hard work and dismal management. The Duchy of Normandy was arguably the most prosperous territory in the Old World.

There are many factories, a large number of technical industries, a large number of industries, a large number of cash crop plantations, universities, population, farms, financial banks......

All this is the confidence of the Normandy family to proudly claim to be the first noble family of the Old World.

Although all this was carried by the Visigoths to the mainland of the Briton Islands in large numbers with the Visigoths. But because of the rush of time. There's no way they're going to move everything.

In this case. This area was rightfully the most important base for heavy industry, agriculture, and even colleges, as well as a financial center for the new republic.

All this made the Visigothic Republic fall in love with it, believing that it was the greatest treasure of the republic and the dependence on which it could be founded.

In this case, they would not have been able to send this place back anyway.

Of course, perhaps even if they did, the Normans would not dare to come back—who would dare to open a shop next to a robber's den?

Until they destroy this evil, terrible country, the Normandys will not stop.

In this way, there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

And then there was the Russian Gothic Empire.

They had certain expectations for the Empire.

This is mainly because of what the empire did some time ago.

The empire had no intention of concealing all kinds of overseas colonization and exploration. All of them were generously said through various newspapers and media.

Seeing such a massive expansion of overseas territories by the Empire, the Russian Gothic Empire did not want to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Old Continent, and it was good to be satisfied with the existing territories - such idiotic remarks were not many, but they were not few.

Others, the wiser, believe that the focus of the empire today is on overseas expansion. Not to mention that the empire does not want to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Old World. But I'm afraid the empire won't have too much energy and resources to participate in this matter.

And the emissaries of the republic, the diplomats, were also treated with some courtesy within the empire.

The Empire's attitude towards them does not seem to be that of the Britons, who are eager to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Under these circumstances, many Visigoths thought that they might be able to conclude a plausible non-aggression pact with the Empire.

Until now, the empire easily annexed Austria and Bohemia, two states that belonged to the Ostrogothic Empire. (To be continued.) )
