518. Chapter 518: Tension and Relaxation

"Ahh Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info He's completely crazy. It's true. William made this judgment after receiving the latest report on the state of mind of His Majesty the Emperor.

This guy has been driven crazy by the sad situation and the tragic fate he is facing. So I have lost the ability to judge normalcy.

But of course, there is nothing bad about William.

Whatever, whatever, as long as that guy continues to maintain a half-dead state and become a stepping stone on the road to the rise of the Hereford family, there will be no problem.

Hum hum.

Unlike the poor Emperor, who regarded William and the entire Hereford family as his only lifeline. The Britons, and the Protestant coalition they controlled, were very troubled by William and the Hereford family.

On the one hand, they understood that now, the Hereford family, who had settled the Ottoman Empire in such a short period of half a year, was the only one who could change the situation of the sectarian war.

The reason why these people think differently from the poor Emperor is actually very normal.

Because, even without the help of William and the Hereford family, they alone will be able to defeat the Swabian family and His Majesty the Emperor Kallman IV.

Therefore, they were more wary of William and the Hereford family than they expected.

If they could, they didn't want the Hereford family to do it again.

Because, yes, if the army of the Hereford family appears on the battlefield again, then with the name of the world's strongest soldier and the world's number one commander, scare can scare those scum to death.

The question is, how much benefit will they give to the Hereford family?

The Hereford family was clear and never hid their coveting of the Empire's territory. Especially for the northern part of Great Moravia, the territory called Bohemia. The Hereford family dreamed of getting there, a place rich in natural resources that could be developed into an excellent base for heavy industry.

Although the territory of the empire is very large, there are only a few places that can be developed into excellent heavy industry bases.

Coal, but also iron. High-quality anthracite, but also high-grade iron ore. These are two of the most important things in the world.

The reason why Briton is so powerful is that it is blessed with unique natural resources.

It has one of the best grades in the world of anthracite, and high-grade iron ore with low sulfur and low phosphorus. This is one of the reasons why Briton was able to rise in this industrial age.

However, in any case, Briton and his allies did not want the Hereford family to get the land.

Northern part of Great Moravia. Bohemia. The Britons decided to swallow it in their stomachs. It became a state ruled by the Breton royal family. Become another fortified base for the continental factions of Briton.

The Hereford family is big enough. Its size, its population, already posed a great threat to Britton's hegemony.

To make matters worse, the family and its position were not the same as those of Tsarist Russia in William's previous life.

Because there are a large number of reasons of one kind or another, so in the minds of many people, Tsarist Russia is not a European country. It has been outside the European mainstream for a long time.

The country has a unique calendar, a unique system, a unique religious beliefs, independent units of weights and measures, unique cultural practices, and a geographical location that is far from the core of the European continent.

The long history of enslavement by the Tatars, etc., etc., etc., made it difficult for Europeans to identify with the country.

It's a feeling of disagreement from the heart, from the bones. This feeling will not change because of a change in Russia's political system.

It doesn't matter if Russia is a monarchy, a Bolshevik, or a capitalist state.

In the history of the European continent, France once competed for hegemony and hoped to dominate the European order. Germany once competed for hegemony and hoped to dominate the European order. However, Russia, as a continental power, has never competed for hegemony and dominated the European continental order.

Is it that Russia does not want to?

No, of course not. But Russia can't.

They have no way of fitting in with the continent.

The Hereford family, however, is different. It's not like in Russia, where only the royal family is German. The Hereford family controlled a large number of countries, both culturally and ethnically. Faith or royalty, superstructure or substructure. It's all a real goth. It is the mainstream of the mainstream of the human world.

Of the tens of millions of people in the entire Hereford family, more than nine million are Goths and those with Gothic ancestry. As a minority of the Slavites, less than one-tenth of the steppe nomads are nomads. In a very marginal, underappreciated situation.

In this case, as one of the most powerful of the states founded by the Goths. The Hereford family was born with a historical mission to unify the entire Gothic nation.

This "historical mission" is like a fate, a reincarnation and a curse - to become the strongest Gothic state - to become the emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire - to unify the entire Ostrogothic Empire - to defeat the Visigothic kingdom and complete the unification of the Gothic Empire - to defeat the Lombards and Asturians as branches of the Goths, to complete the unification of the Pan-Goths - to defeat the rebels among the Goths who do not consider themselves part of the Pan-Gothic race.

Completely unify the entire "human world", become the supreme emperor and ruler in history, and complete the great revival of the Goths.

Although no one has ever actually said it, not even mentioned it. However, this is almost a tacit "secret" that everyone knows. Any Gothic monarch with a modicum of ambition would plant such a seed in his heart.

When he doesn't have enough power, enough power, this seed is just a seed.

But with enough power, enough power, enough status, any Gothic ruler will consciously or unconsciously work in this direction.

This will never change, just as the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

That's it, that's it. Many Gothic rulers have noticed this, and of course many Gothic rulers are still alive and well.

The latter goes without saying much for now. Because that kind of guy exists entirely to pave the way for the first kind of people, and then make a stepping stone. But in the first case, there are quite a few in this world. Perhaps it is precisely because there are so many such promising kings that the process of unification of the Goths has been slow until now.

The vast majority of those guys who were historically given the great mission of unifying the Goths did nothing, and were eventually drowned out by the tide of history, and even their names were not common.

There are also a small number of people, like Kalman IV, who have achieved some achievements, and even vaguely see the hope and dawn of success. But in the end, it was stifled again.

The last group of people is like William. It really has enough power, and it really has extremely powerful abilities. It's like Charlemagne in history, or Napoleon and Hitler.

Each of them is more or less complete, and almost accomplished the unified mission in two points. But in the end, it fell short.

Now William is standing in such a position. It is precisely because William has become the most likely person in the world to unify the entire Gothic race, so all the same expectations are to unify the Gothic race by themselves. Or all those who did not want to be "united" by William, or, like Briton, who were to a certain extent transcendent and independent of the forces of this Gothic fate.

They gathered as a matter of course, and as a matter of course, they were ready to deal with William. It is natural not to want William to succeed. It's all,

And rightfully so.

William must not be allowed to acquire even an inch of Gothic land again.

Every Goth under his command will make him stronger. Every inch of Gothic land he acquires increases the likelihood and completion of his unification of the entire Gothic community.

In any case, such an important territory as Bohemia could not be given to him.

It was in this situation that the Hereford family stood still. After returning to his own territory, the relocation of the capital and a series of political, military and economic reforms arose, which relieved all the forces and people who were worried and wary of this behemoth.

"It's unbelievable. No, it should be said, that's for the best. After receiving the news, Victoria, another Queen of Briton, William's rival and collaborator, breathed a sigh of relief.

If William can be at ease, he will be content with the status of King of the Great Frontier. Then she can also satisfy William's desires and requirements. This world is very large, and it can accommodate two of the Britons and the Hereford family.

Although she knew that this was not very likely, Victoria was still happily thinking about it. Perhaps William could be part of the continental order she designed. Perhaps they can continue to maintain a cooperative posture.

At the very least, there is a situation in which cooperation outweighs confrontation.

The development she feared the most, that is, the possibility that William would enter the empire with his victorious army without hesitation, join the side of the emperor, and then start a great war to unify the whole of the Goths, was now not high.

If the next development is that kind of development, then even she will not be able to eliminate the opponent of this round in a short time.

Wars are bound to be protracted. Even she was ready to leave the human world continent for a while.

In William's hands, the entire empire would be unified, and Visigoth, which had become weak due to internal problems, would definitely not be a match for the Ostrogothic empire, which had gained unity.

The first two steps of unifying the entire Gothic community will be completed with great success.

In that case, Victoria would probably have to fight William for the rest of her life.

As if in another world, Britain was not discouraged by forming six anti-French alliances, and did not give up fighting Napoleon after the empire had almost unified all of Europe.

"Thankfully, nothing like that happened. Luckily, too. We're still friends...... At least, they're still friends for now. ”

Where William couldn't hear, Victoria muttered to herself.
