"That is, these Nirosians...... It's really unfortunate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After receiving the latest battle report, William couldn't help but sigh like this-

Of course, for the Nirosians themselves, they don't think they are so unlucky.

General Leopold did not differ from what the Republic had originally expected. That was to incite the natives of Nirosia to rebel against the rule of the Russian Gothic Empire.

The Republic and General Leopold were clearly more concerned and important about this matter than about the canals that could not be seen or touched.

Actually, though, that's not the case at all.

Yu is now the most proficient, and at the same time ambitious to prepare the railway network to spread the entire country of the Russian Gothic Empire is not the same. General Leopold's Visigothic Republic, although it has always liked to flaunt its progress and victories. He thinks that he represents the ultimate form of human beings, and that he can represent the perfect state of human society...... Something.

But it's a great pity that the theoretical level of these guys is much greater than the actual level. The level of philosophical theory is far greater than that of physical chemistry and other natural sciences.

In this case, these guys completely do not understand one of the important links of modern science and technology, that is, the important role of the railway network for the country and the military.

Although the Russian Gothic Empire has not yet completely laid the railway network. But in the past two years alone, the speed of military mobilization of the Russian Gothic Empire has increased to a speed that other countries are jaw-dropping and even unbelievable.

General Leopold was completely unaware of this.

In fact, the general is currently intoxicated by his exploits. I think I've reached half of the successes.

Isn't a good start half the battle?

Well, yes. After capturing Alexandria, as well as the western part of Nicoleia, with little effort and little resistance, the Leopold general was soon warmly welcomed by the local people of Silosis.

It's as if most people expected. The Nirosians really, very disliked the feeling of being controlled - even more so than their previous masters, the Ottoman Empire of the Dark Elves. The Russian Gothic Empire was treated quite well. What they have done in promoting administration, promoting law, and promoting local economic development has made many people feel emotional, and they feel that these guys are really rare good people.

But at the same time, they are also considered to be resistant, not strong and cowardly, and can be overthrown.

Therefore, these Nirosians judged people's feelings and theories in the same way as the vast majority of backward peoples who were not advanced enough in this era.

If you are kind to him, then those guys will not hesitate to kick your nose in the face and laugh at you, thinking that you are not capable enough, and further grow some unnecessary ambition. For example, to gain independence or something.

On the other hand, if a very powerful and terrible tyrant rules them, and if they rule them by force of terrible tyranny and force, and at the same time make these fellows feel "pleasant" with heavy taxes and harsh laws, then they will feel fear, and because of fear, they will think that they are powerful and invincible. This leads to a strange dependence psychology similar to Stockholm syndrome.

That's pretty much it. In many cases, grapes are sour because they can't be eaten, at least in this case. Mmmmmmmm

Therefore, the Nirosians thought of the Russian Gothic Empire as much as their original masters, that is, the dark elves - although in fact, whether it was military strength, economic strength or comprehensive national strength, the Russian Gothic Empire was much stronger than the dark elf Ottoman Empire -

However, after the devastation of various dark Middle Ages, the region of Silosis, which once gave birth to a glorious ancient civilization, has become a culturally backward, wild and ignorant backward region.

Not only do these guys not only know the simplest and basic world history, but they also don't understand the world situation around here, the countries of the world, and the international situation.

These guys simply guard their own acres and threes of land, and then numb themselves with the Crescent religion, thinking that they are living in a very enviable and jealous situation, that they can be very happy to be the masters of this world, and that those scum who are different from themselves will definitely go to Hell after this.

Well, that's it, it's very pleasant to think about. Although it doesn't actually happen at all.

Without enough references, without enough calculations, and without enough intelligence, these guys just made their own subjective assumptions.

The Russian Gothic Empire is all scum, they simply do not deserve to have such a good land and become the master of Silosis. Nirosia wants to build its own dynasty, it wants to build its own country, it wants to assemble its own army, and it wants to become the most powerful, greatest, greatest, and most powerful country in the world.

That is, these Nirosians are ready to betray the Russian Gothic Empire.

Although, in fact, in the beginning, the Nirosians had no loyalty to the empire.

Or, to be more precise, from the very beginning, the Nirosians appeared as rebels on the political map of the Russian Gothic Empire.

William was surprised by this and was somewhat attentive.

According to some modern theories, as long as the economy can develop and society can progress, then some social contradictions and other things will be covered up by such things as economic development and social progress, and then the rule of the ruler can be stable.

And in William's experience, this theory does have its merits. Even in the vast majority of cases, this theory is correct.

But when dealing with the Nerosians, this "theory" doesn't seem to work so well.

In a sense, these Nirosians are no longer saved. Well, in every sense of the word. William thought to himself—

Unlike the Levantines and Turks, who have largely lost the concept of state and nation, and have basically been pinched and rounded under the whip of the dark elves, assuming various poses.

The people of Nirosia still maintained the vast majority of their ideas, and the sense of state and nation began to awaken.

This is mainly due to the strength of the Nirosians, but also to the position and resources that the Nirosians have.

Although the Ottoman Empire had a very vast territory and resources, whether it was Syria, Israel, or Mesopotamia, all of them were quite good territories. However, because of the eastward rivalry with the Zoroastrian Empire, these territories were usually on the front lines. And even many times it will be threatened.

Therefore, although it is basically impossible to say that with the power of the Ottoman Empire, it is impossible to be defeated by the Zoroastrian Empire and then spit out all these territories, but the dark elves still have some scruples about it.

In this case, the territory in the second line has become an even more important focus.

That is, the Anatolian region, and Nirosia in the south.

The former, as the core of the empire's rule, was the empire's most important commercial and industrial region, as well as the source of troops.

However, because Anatolia is mostly mountainous and does not produce very much food, Nirosia is another priority.

Blessed with the alluvial plains of the Nile, the Nirosian region has been known for its high grain production since classical times, as well as for its large grain exports. It was the same under the control of the Ottoman Empire. It was the most important grain-producing region of the Ottoman Empire.

This important position made the Ottoman Empire somewhat gentle and gentle in dealing with the region of Silosis. As long as they could guarantee a sufficient amount of food for the empire, they even suspiciously mercifully allowed the local nobles of Nirosia to gain some power.

That is, this method of the Ottoman Empire made the Nilesians somewhat flustered, and even had some unrealistic delusions because of this.

It is precisely because of this that Nirosia during the reign of the Ottomans was somewhat unpeaceful.

Of course, Huairou is Huairou, if you really think that the dark elves are good men and women, and think that they will be soft on people or things, it would be a big mistake.

Whenever the Nirosians made a move, the dark landscape of Ottoman would not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife and kill without mercy.

In this case, the Nerosians will be honest for a while, until they heal the scars and forget the pain.

Nilosia during the Ottoman Empire was in such a situation.

However.

This situation may be enough for the unambitious, at least for the dark elves Su Dan, who in William's opinion belong to the ambitious type.

They were able to collect enough taxes, get enough food, and have the Nirosians send a lot of troops to use as cannon fodder.

As a lord, aren't these three things the most important?

With taxes, resources and manpower, things are easy to negotiate at any time.

However.

Not so for William.

Yes, William did like these things, but beyond that, William also had a crush on something deeper, more philosophical—and that was the way of governing.

He didn't want this kind of warmth, like a semi-independent, half-vassal state of Silosis. What he wanted was to be completely brought under his control, to become a province of the Russian Gothic Empire, an administrative unit under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.
