Of course, although the World Expo is a good opportunity to show the strength of the country, it is not very solemn and formal. The kings of the www.biquge.info countries, queens and emperors naturally could not lead the team in person. In fact, there are only two princes like William. One of them was William, and the other was Henry, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Franconia.

Yes, another Henry, which made William sigh a little at the casualness of the people of this world for names. But after thinking about it for a while, his name William is also very popular, and William decided not to care so much.

The Kingdom of Franconia, as the most powerful ally of Kalman IV, was rightfully regarded as the Emperor's faction. At the same time, the sister of the current king of Franconia and the wife of Kalman IV, that is, the empress of the Ostrogothic Empire. This kind of in-law relationship was quite solid in the medieval concept.

In a sense, it can be said that the Kingdom of Franconia and the Kingdom of Great Moravia, which was controlled by Khalman IV, are considered as a whole.

Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon that outsiders see. In the eyes of a pragmatist, an egoist like William, the so-called in-law relationship is nothing more than a relatively stable alliance of interests that exploits each other. The actual effect is not fundamentally different from the current cooperation between William and Victoria.

In addition, the information transmitted by the Cheka also gave William a better understanding of the relationship between Franconia and Greater Moravia.

Controlling Great Moravia, controlling Lombardy, and at the same time controlling the Carpathian kingdom, the powerful lord of the Swabian family was rightfully salivating over Franconia, which was surrounded on both sides and at the heart of the empire.

If Franconia could be brought under his control, his direct territories would be contiguous. If, on the other hand, Franconia could not have done so, then Franconia would have been like a wedge driven into the crown territory, separating Greater Moravia, the Carpathias, and Lombardy.

Once the two sides are in a state of hostility, then he has to face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts and dividing his forces.

In this case, it was only natural that Kalman IV should take "action" against Franconia.

According to the untrue and untrue news from the Cheka members, Kalman IV was young, and when he first ascended the throne, the first person he wanted to annex was the Franconian Kingdom.

At the time, the relationship between the Swabian family and the Salian family was not as close as it appears now. The two sides were even in a state of saber rattling at one point. Once upon a time, the Salian family of Franconia was a strong ally to the Lorraine family of Lotternia. The parties entered into marriages and agreed to each other that their position within the empire would not be affected.

The alliance between Loteraia and Franconia was the first obstacle and enemy faced by Kalman IV of Swabia at the beginning of his reign.

Only then came the First Great Frontier War, followed by the Empire's Civil War...... Under these circumstances, Kalman IV's attitude and strategy changed.

He didn't know how he changed the attitude of the Sallian family in Franconia. Jean Sallian betrayed the House of Lorraine and allied himself with Kalman IV.

This completely changed the balance of power in the Ostrogothic Empire, which eventually led to an imperial civil war that ended in the victory of Kalman IV.

"That's it, that's it. Now, the Empire's civil war has ended, and the Swabians have won a great victory. Next, His Majesty the Great Emperor will continue to fight in the east and west, and in the south and north. The difference is that now the entire empire is huddled under his wing, and he has several times more manpower than before, and there are more famous and good generals at his disposal.

In this case, the importance of Franconia has naturally decreased considerably. In other words, it was already quite difficult for Franconia to maintain the position of Swabia's most powerful ally, the deputy.

Especially in the case of the emergence of the Russian kingdom out of nowhere.

Compared to a more capable, unstable base, seemingly more loyal and controlling Russia, Franconia has little advantage.

Kings are cold by nature, and kings are arbitrary. At the same time, the kings are all small-bellied chicken intestines. Kalman IV still coveted the land of Franconia, and Kalman IV did not forget how the Salian family of Franconia was disrespectful to him at the beginning of his reign. Kalman IV rightfully remembered how tolerant he was of his empress. He also remembered that his queen was an ugly, vulgar, and terrible woman.

Kalman IV also remembers that he and his empress did not conceive any children. Instead, his concubines bore him three healthy children.

Kalman IV remembered so much.

Of course, at the same time, the Salian family of Franconia remembered many things as well. They remembered the good old days when the Sallian family was once the holy Ostrogothic emperor. They remember that once upon a time, the Swabian family was nothing more than a country tycoon. They remembered that there had been at least twenty major battles between the Salians and the Swabian families. They also remember Kalman IV of Swabia, who did not conceive any children with his empress.

"Inheritance. Well. How to say it. If all of Kalman IV's sons died, would the Sarians be able to inherit the Swabian family? William thought to himself. At the same time, he was also thinking about how he would behave in the next situation of the Ostrogothic Empire.

The Lorraine family of Lotternia has declined, and the orthodoxy of the Lorraine family has been completely killed by Kalman IV. However, several side branches of the House of Lorraine still control several scattered, small territories in the Lotyrnia region. With external support, they could have found a thick family tree and be crowned king of Lotternia.

And then who will Kalman IV attack again? Visigothic or Breton in the north.

If he chooses Visigoth, how will he govern the Visigoths? Will Visigothic society, which is now on the verge of exploding, be united by the brazen invasion of Kalman IV, or will it collapse as a result?

And if he still chooses to attack Brie, what will he do? The princes of the General Assembly, and then march north of Loterania, and Frisia? What will the Visigoths do in the process? Who are they going to ally with, or will they remain neutral? Or do these bastards want to make a profit?

If Kalman IV chooses to attack Britun in the north, how will the Britons respond? Of course, Victoria will ask William for help, but will William stand in opposition to the great Kalman IV? If so, what reason will William use? What benefits will William get? If not, what?

If, after getting rid of the Russian army, what tricks would the Britons have to fight against Kalman IV? Will they incite another rebellion in Lotternia? Will they encourage the Franconia to revolt? Or will they organize a strong army to cross the Briton Strait and go south to the continent of the Old World?

What role will the Franconians play in the ensuing war? Will they continue to maintain their alliance with Kalman IV, or will they betray Kalman IV and choose to ally with Lotternia again?

Although the Sallian family of Franconia was now constantly flaunting their in-law relationship with Kalman IV and declaring their loyalty to the emperor. But what exactly they think in their hearts is a matter of opinion.

William closed his eyes and pondered the many possibilities. The union of the human nations of the Old World, several alliances, several possibilities, and what the Russian Kingdom and the Hereford family should do next. After thinking about these things, he finally came to this conclusion that he could not be wrong, but also could not be regarded as an answer:

"But...... All in all...... Russia must get its share of the cake!"

William opened his eyes suddenly, and then made up his mind: "I want Shilonsk, I want Livonia, I want the entire Wende Kingdom, and I want to be the king of the Wende Kingdom! Whoever gave me these, me, and my father, the seven million people and the hundred thousand troops of the Russian kingdom are the allies of whom!!"

After William figured these things out, he shook the bell in his hand: "Deliver the news, I'm going to visit Prince Henry of Franconia tonight." The Ostrogothic royal family needs to have a brotherly affection, right?"

There was no answer, but William was sure that the nimble servants, heralds, and Cheka members must have delivered all his messages in the shortest possible time. Then we should wait for the meeting with this Henry von Salian.

"A new round of vertical and horizontal will start with His Royal Highness the Prince. At most, the nations sent ambassadors to lead the way, but they sent a prince here. Hum...... If that guy hadn't come to see me, or Victoria, then I'd cut him. William thought to himself:

"It doesn't look like it's quite what they advertise. The Franconians are looking for new allies. ”
