261.Chapter 261 No traitor shall be allowed to go
That's it, William and Elise behave like any couple in love would do, and William and Elise kiss naturally. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and then considering that it is still working time, so I did not carry out the next step.
"Come to my room tonight. After the kiss, Elise bit William's ear and whispered this.
William didn't speak, just smiled and nodded slightly.
Although for him, career, family, power comes first. But just like a machine that is always running, it needs to rest. While he's busy, William also needs to make some fun, innocuous concoctions.
He had forgotten when the first time was. However, not long after the relationship with Elise was formalized, he successfully entered Elise's room on a dark and windy night. Then he escaped everyone and returned before dawn.
Of course, William felt that in fact, it didn't matter if he lived directly with Elise first. But he just enjoyed that sneaky feeling.
A little adventure in love can make William feel very exciting. And Elise seems to like doing it too.
In this way, William put aside the question of the rebels in the New World for the time being...... Just a few days later, however, the Cheka received alarming information again.
The rebels won. In several sorties, the rebels were all victorious - they easily defeated the small number of Briton garrisons, and almost completely controlled the entire northern mainland colony of Briton. And in this information, the specific time of the rebels' actions was also determined.
On the 4th of May, representatives of the various colonial governments met. On 10 May, representatives of the colonial government reached a consensus on the rebellion. On 15 May, the colonial governments responded by changing the name of the colonial government to the canton. and organized militias to expel the Buriton garrison.
June 20. The Briton garrison concentrated a regular army of 3,000 men and engaged the rebels in the Lexington area. In the end, he was defeated by the rebels, who had absolute superiority in numbers. The situation in the New World was declared out of control.
"The information from June is already July...... The time it took to cross the Atlantic was unsettling. I don't know what the New World is like now. β
In addition to this information, William also received a lot of information related to it.
The cabinet of the Briton Kingdom responded in the shortest possible time. They will organize an expeditionary force of 20,000 men to go to the New World to suppress the rebellion. The merchants, who had a large amount of investment in the New World, also decided to raise money on their own and organize a mercenary force to go to the New World.
Playing against the Kingdom of Briton are two Gothic states. Both the Ostrogothic Empire and the Visigothic kingdoms gloated. At the same time, intelligence shows that the emperor and the Visigothic king seem to have reached some degree of tacit understanding. They seem to have decided to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack on the Britons together. Recover all the mainland territories occupied by Briton.
The Kingdom of Asturias sympathized with Briton's plight. The kingdoms of the Peninsula, which also had vast overseas colonies, were concerned about this. It seems to be the only force that wants Breton to win.
However, if Asturias were to come out to help, it would be absolutely impossible. Verbal support is his best effort.
In this way, the kingdom of Briton expanded everywhere, and the evil consequences of making enemies everywhere emerged.
It is isolated in the human world. No one helped, but there were many who wanted to beat the water dogs.
If this information is correct, then the Briton Kingdom will be in big trouble this time.
"Two Gothic nations working together will have a very good chance of winning. But if that were the case, then the rebellion in the New World would have been successful. Could it be that on this world line, there will be another powerful American kingdom, or the American Empire, which will eventually become the world hegemon?"
Thinking of this, William felt uncomfortable all over. It's uncomfortable all over my body. He really wanted to tear at the ears of the king and the emperor and call them idiots - a poor kingdom of Briton with only a few islands and a small mainland area was nothing to worry about. The real horror is the monster in the New World, which is still in its infancy. If it is not strangled while it is still weak, then in the future, it will grow at a very fast speed, and eventually become a monster that is feared by the nations of the human world and can never be defeated. A terrifying world overlord that even the nations of the human world combined!
"If things really get to that point, I can only think about going east, and then really forming a Russia...... Although, actually, that's what I'm doing now. At the thought of this, William felt discouraged. A kind of seer and seer, the pain of loneliness made his head hurt.
William, who originally thought that he controlled one kingdom, or even two kingdoms, and had such great power, he could do whatever he wanted, once again found that his power was not as strong as he thought. A terrible feeling of powerlessness came back to my heart.
Because of this, Victoria, who met William again, was very surprised.
She originally thought that William should be in high spirits at this moment, and he should be as happy as anything.
She didn't expect William to be such a decadent look...... Although I have tried very hard to hide my dark circles with foundation, fix my hairstyle, and have a strong spirit, I pretend that nothing happened. But Victoria saw it anyway.
"I really didn't expect you to come to me at this time. Although he felt very irritated in his heart, William still pretended to be complacent on the surface, and said to Victoria: "Your Majesty, you must have a lot of things to do. Is it really okay to be lazy at this time?"
"I'm not lazy. "I'm here to ask my allies if they have any plans to travel to our covenant," said Victoria. β
β...... Oh?" William was slightly surprised, "I don't quite understand what you mean. β
"I mean, I need your help...... I don't want to say that, but that's the way it is. Victoria said a little helplessly: "There is a rebellion in the New World colonies of the kingdom. You must already know about this, right?"
"Yes. That's why I wonder why you're here -- don't you think I'm behind those rebels? That's wronging me. William immediately thought of a possibility, and then hurriedly cried out for grievance. If he could, he wanted to pretend to be a little more like, but in the end he couldn't.
"Not really. Victoria said, "I don't have time to go around in circles with you, William - I remember you have a mercenary regiment, right?"
"Yes, the White Army. Already had five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment. The strength of the army reached 10,000. It is a powerful fighting group under the control of the Hereford family...... So what do you mean?"
"I'm going to hire you. Victoria said calmly.
β...... If you want mercenaries, there's all over the world. William paused for a moment, then replied, "You should know that the White Legion is not just a mercenary, he is also a member of Hereford's family. You should know the difference between the two. β
Victoria was not angered by William's refusal, and she continued to say calmly: "Yes, the number of mercenaries in this world is very large, hundreds of thousands. If you count those who could join at any time, the number of mercenaries increases to millions. But there was only one White Army, and only one Willem von Hereford. After she said this, after making people feel a little happy, she once again exposed the essence of the local tyrant:
"Make an offer. Tell me how much it costs to hire you -- and how much it costs to hire you. Her look of "I can afford to pay as much as you say" made William feel extremely annoying.
"I don't want money. β
So, William replied calmly: "I want half of the Northern Continent." β
"......" Victoria was stunned for a moment, and then, after understanding what William meant, she refused without hesitation: "No! Absolutely not! I will not give you any of the colonies." At most double - I paid ten times more than the mercenary fee in the market, and promised that in the future, merchant ships flying the flag of the Hereford family would have the full support of the Kingdom of Briton when they sailed overseas. It'sβ"
"-- Half of the Northern Continent. I want half of the Northern Continent. Of course, this commission, I know you can't afford it -- they have thirteen states, and I want six in the South. β
"So it's impossible!" Victoria's reply remained the same. After she said this, she stood up and looked down at William: "If it's somewhere else, forget it - whether it's the Green Continent or the Far East, if you want a colony, we can discuss it." But the New World definitely can't!"
"It seems that there is no negotiation. William sighed, then shook his head: "Well, then, there is nothing I can do to help the situation in the New World." β
"Hmph. Victoria snorted, "It doesn't matterβeven without your help." I don't believe that without your help, I would not have been able to put down this rebellion - the commission for hiring the White Legion is enough to hire ten times as many ordinary mercenaries. Briton would soon be able to send an army of 100,000 to the New World! It was only a matter of time before the rebels were annihilated. β
Victoria's words didn't make William change his mind: "In that case, I wish you success." When he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Although in this era and society, there is no such thing as serving tea to guests. But looking at William's movements, Victoria also understood what he meant.
Think about what her identity is, and what kind of identity William is, she came to the door to beg William, but in the end she got such a fate, Victoria was angry. She gave William one last glare, then turned and left without looking back.
