Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Continent That Didn't Exist in a Past Life
readx;? The territory is suitable for farming, grazing and human habitation...... In fact, there are quite a few indigenous people living in this territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info These guys look like a combination of the nomads of the Old World, and the Indians of the New World. Skilled horsemen and a looser and more conquerable tribal structure than the average nomad.
In addition to this, the various trade goods and ways of making friends with the indigenous people seemed to work in these regions as well - wine, textiles, muskets, all these surprising things were still popular in these places - and of course, William was slightly surprised that the people of this region had long been in contact with the merchants of other regions.
This "other region", by their trade goods, seems to have been identified, that is, the Japanese archipelago. In fact, there is a long history of warfare and trade between the He people of the south and the indigenous peoples of the region. It's just that the combat effectiveness of the people themselves is not too strong, and the national strength, national cohesion and mobilization ability are all rubbish. So there is nothing that can be done about the indigenous people of the central part of the country, whose social structure is worse than theirs.
Of course, this was not within William's plan, and William didn't care too much about what was going on here.
Even if it is the so-called emperor of the Japanese people in the south, the actual ruler of the canonized country is called Seiyi Shogun. The "Yi people" refers to the indigenous people of this land. They are ambitious to conquer all the inhabitants of this territory and build a world-class empire or something.
But this did not mean anything for William, for the Russian Gothic Empire. There is no point in these delusions, and there is no chance of success in what these men want to do - with the Empire treating the territory as its own and beginning to exert influence on the region, there is no chance of victory for the chaotic, fragmented little state.
Able to connect the Imperial mainland to the Northern New World by land. This is arguably the most enjoyable thing about the Empire at the moment.
More territory, more land, more resources, more people, more wealth, and more prestige and power. Come to think of it, William just thinks it's the most enjoyable thing in the world.
Although there is no such thing as Cortez in this world. With a few hundred people, you can conquer an empire or something. But William's resources and troops were far more than a few hundred.
"That's right, it's so much more convenient. First of all, colonial construction was carried out in the Kamchatka region of the Far East of the empire. Then the entire empire was linked as a single whole by the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Then send an army of 100,200,000 to conquer all the natives of the Middle World, and then annex the entire western part of the Northern New World. Turn the Wa Kingdom into a pitiful island surrounded on three sides by the interior of the empire. Then pinch and knead the circle casually.
Mmmmmm Hum hum ......"
In much the same way, the Emperor took all these territories as his own - in fact, the colonial branch of the Empire had always been the busiest, busiest, most busy, and most powerful. With William's support, the department's budget has always been abundant - or rather, quite abundant.
The whole Old World is shrouded in the clouds of war, and the once financially rich Britons are now living a tight life and are eager to invest all their wealth in army building, if they know that the empire still has so many resources to invest in the development and construction of colonies, then these guys must be angry and jealous, right?
Of course, William would never tell them about it.
That's it, that's how the empire is at present. Then it was the turn of the Britons.
In addition to the territories of the Old World, as just mentioned, the Britons still have large colonies around the world.
This includes nearly the entire green continent - south of the Sahara, of course. In particular, the Cape colony, which was predominantly Frisian, developed quite well. And in the eastern part of the Green Continent, orc countries with a certain civilization, whether it is Songhai or Mali, are also the objects of their oppression. Produced by large territories on the Gold, Grain and Ivory Coasts, it was now an important link in sustaining the empire.
In addition to that, there is the Far Eastern trade.
Despite claiming to have taken control of all of the territory. However, in reality, the control of the Britons over the Nanyang Islands and the Indochina Peninsula was not as strong as it was legendary. They usually only control a few trading outposts. And through naval artillery and a small number of elite troops, the kings of these regions and the indigenous tribes of the Sudan, chieftain and other roles.
Wealth was acquired more through trade plunder than by deeper colonial plunder.
But even so, these territories are still their territory in the division. Of course, after the constant influx of capital, merchants, ships, and explorers into these territories, no one knows what the final result will be.
......
And then there's Indy. The Britons, who control the northeastern part of Indy, are currently in alliance with the Marathas. Maybe it's because the two sides cheated the empire once. Or maybe it's something else. All in all, the Federation of Marathas still has a lot of trust in the Britons. Although William thinks this is also a concrete proof that this group of idiots are idiots.
This territory, although the Britons also argue that it is their territory. But they really have only a small commercial interest. It's like a new continent. The Amazon region of the Southern New World, as well as the vast territories of the southern Pampas, are also considered by the Bretons to be their own. Also considered his own is the vast territory of Louisiana in the north.
However, these territories were actually in the hands of the Visigoths, as well as the Asturians.
That's pretty much it. The Old World, the Middle East, the Far East, the Green World, the North and South of the New World. During the negotiations that lasted for half a month, the Russian Gothic Empire and the Kingdom of Briton reached a preliminary agreement on how to divide the world. Almost all the territories of the whole world have been divided.
Judging from the extent and size of the territory divided, it seems that the Britons were a little cheaper.
They had the lion's share in the Far East and the Indies, they had the lion's share in the colonies of the New World, and they still had the lion's share on the Old World's side—and the Britons were so pleased that they had won the negotiations.
Although it is said that they have given the empire a lot of benefits, compared to this, they have preserved, and even said that they are about to gain more.
But for such arguments, William has nothing but hehe.
These stupid people, although these territories have been divided to them, but most of them are still in the hands of other guys, and if you want to get your hands on them, you have to work hard. It is even said that if one is not careful, he will fall into the quagmire and be severely pitted.
On the other hand, although the Empire has obtained a little less, it is all certain, or it can be easily obtained. The empire could take care of the development of these colonies while fighting the Visigoths. Basically, in William's calculations, after defeating the Visigoths, these territories were basically digested and absorbed.
In this case, the empire can once again negotiate without hesitation, divide the territory, and even simply tear the face with the Britons and bring the whole world under its control.
At the thought of this possibility, William couldn't help but smile and feel happy.
Yes, yes, the path of the future is predetermined, and the future is destined to belong to the Russian Gothic Empire, and to the Second Gothic Empire, to the great Neo-Gothic Empire. He will go down in history forever as the great ruler who will take the whole world under his control!
As soon as he thought of this, William couldn't sleep with excitement. So much so that the words that were connected to his father, Prince Otto, were absent-minded.
"All in all, this negotiation is over. And then there was war, war. Although he respected his father in his heart, William, who was very tired, did not want to listen to him repeat the words he had grown tired of listening to.
Maybe it's because he misunderstood William's meaning, or maybe he wants to continue to persuade William to do this and that. Anyway, in the next step, Constantinople -- that is, Istanbul was renamed a little -- and of course it was still the same city
After the father and son met again, Prince Otto and William exchanged some homely words after parting, and after greeting each other, they began to talk about how necessary it was for the nobles to unite together. It's time to restore order in this world, that's it.
This made William a little uncomfortable.
Although it is said that his father must be innocent. However, it was still a little uncomfortable.
Even if you know that he is just a poor old man who has been deceived......
Speaking of which, William was nearly thirty years old, and Prince Otto was nearly fifty years old.
Although the prince is still the enemy of ten thousand people that William knows, a long sword is enough to match the terrifying existence of thousands of troops. It is even said that because of his strong enough, William did not even see any change in Prince Otto's appearance.
But mentally, William still felt—and distinctly felt—that Prince Otto was old. And it's very old.
