Chapter Twenty-Six: Can't wait

readx;? More or less that, William took the train and headed for Asia Minor in the north. The goal www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is to stay there for a while before heading to Istanbul, the capital of the former Dark Elf Empire, to take a break there.

Because it was close enough to the core of the empire there, some policies, orders, or something could be enforced there. William was going to make a statement there, a little about the current plans of the Empire, as well as the current tasks of the Empire, and the inadequacy of the Empire. Then to the core of the empire, the high-level personnel breathed a breath and told these guys what the empire was going to do and what to do next.

All in all, William didn't want these guys to be stupid enough to say things that weren't in his mind. To drag the empire's war machine and go to any messy place to fight any messy enemy or something. Even if it wins, it won't be good, and if it loses, it's a good thing for a powerful army country like the Russian Gothic Empire.

However, it was during this time in Istanbul that another incident got into trouble with Willem von Hereford. It gave him a lot of headaches.

It was the appearance of his sister, at least by blood, Victoria had once again made an envoy to the Russian Gothic Empire, and it is not known if he had any communication with William's father, Prince Otto, while in Moscow. All in all, after this, when she saw William again, she took the opportunity to bring a letter from Prince Otto.

Although, as most of the time, Prince Otto stated in his letters, as always, the principle that matters are important, and that the final decision is all made by William. In fact, if this and that, then William can also have no scruples about him.

But, but said. If, maybe, maybe, maybe, then ......

All in all, after using such a bunch of words, Prince Otto was ashamed to express his meaning to William. That is, whether it should be more closely linked to other countries.

Even if it is said, it is also used in this vague vocabulary - more closely, other countries.

What kind of country is this other country, and what is the way, to what extent, and what aspect is this other country?

Of course, in a sense, what Prince Otto is saying now is useless. In fact, Prince Otto's words, of course, can understand what they mean.

In fact, the prince, Wilhelm's father, still believed that the priority now was to be on a par with the Visigoths. Especially at the moment when the Visigoths were overwhelmed, and an expeditionary force had been sent to attack important territories of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Since it is going to be hostile to the Visigoths, it would be unwise to maintain a hostile posture with the Britons in this case. Should we revise our relations with the Britons, or even re-establish a series of covenants with the Britons, and become allies in dealing with the Visigothic Republic?

Although everything is premised on William's opinion, William's decision is the will of the empire. However, Prince Otto himself, of course, expected this.

And since he has taken it for granted, then in terms of his status, William can't afford to take it lightly.

More importantly, in fact, it is not just Prince Otto who thinks so in the country today. In fact, there were quite a few people throughout the empire who were worried about the sudden rise of the Visigoths, who seemed to be overwhelmed and occupied many territories.

If in a sense, then their concerns are also justified.

Although the Bretons are powerful, their industry, their resources, and their armies are indeed very threatening. But at the end of the day, the Bretons are on an overseas island. Most of their territory on the mainland was annexed by the Visigoths.

Under these circumstances, the Britons were completely unable to maintain their rule within the territory of the Ostrogothic Empire.

If, before this, the Britons who had successfully integrated the Ostrogothic Empire and even had the potential to annex the Visigoths, William said that they were the biggest enemies and the biggest hidden danger of the Empire, then almost everyone in the Empire would think that William was right.

But if, in this case, William says so again, then ...... I'm afraid there won't be too many people who agree.

Of course, as Prince Otto said, the national policy of the empire will ultimately be based on William's decision. In the end, it was William who had the final say. With William's strength, William's prestige, William's rule over the empire. When he speaks, it is natural that someone will listen.

However, there are people who listen to what is convincing, and there are people who listen to people who feel awkward in their hearts. It's two concepts entirely. In the case of the former, William's policy can be thoroughly implemented. But the latter, what William said, I'm afraid it will be discounted.

Although the state policies are all great and infallible by the leaders of the country, it is the bastard bureaucrats below who really implement these policies. If he can't get the support of these bastards, then William's words won't work-

Of course, William still has coercive power, and it is also a matter of course, if William forces them to work, it is not a problem to even threaten them with a butcher's knife. But is that really good?

Because is it really good to divide the government of the Russian Gothic Empire from this kind of thing? Is it worth it?

William was thoughtful now.

Victoria in front of her sneered in her heart, but she felt that at least in this round, she had finally defeated her brother. But he didn't know that what William was thinking about was not this thing at all, but something else.

"That is to say, now, with regard to the policy of the Russian Gothic Empire, there is finally an opposition that is different from mine. William thought to himself: "But fortunately, the leader of the opposition is my father." That guy would never do anything to threaten me......"

Thinking of this, William felt very relieved.

With Prince Otto's character, even if he gave advice to himself, he had to make seven or eight turns like this. You can imagine how low the decisiveness of this kind of thing is when he is against William.

"However, there is another thing to beware of, and that is that someone is doing something in the name of a father. It's like the Chenqiao Mutiny - of course, most of the Chenqiao Mutiny in history was a play played by Zhao Kuangyin and his 'brothers'.

However, if that yellow-robed Zhao Kuangyin is really innocent, is it really forced? If that's really the case, I'm afraid things are a little ......."

Watching William continue to wander around the object, Victoria was a little upset - at first, she could understand that William was troubled by this matter, that it was difficult to handle, and even said that she felt that this matter offended her or something. But now it seems that William's expression is not like this......

Although this seemed a bit rude, Victoria coughed lightly twice, and then said, "Then, Your Majesty." ”

Although, now they are face to face, and there are only two people. At the same time, they also understand their blood relationship. But when it came to addressing William, Victoria was still businesslike. didn't want to have a relationship with William Pan at all, and even said that William was his brother.

Of course, even if she really screamed, William would only find it funny and would not give her any preferential treatment.

"Well, you've been thinking about it for a long time, and I've made it clear to youβ€”what's your answer?"

Listen to the other party's questions, and even say forced questions, questioning. William then pulled his thoughts back.

He looked at Victoria for a long time, and then replied in the same business:

"Baron, I do have enough consideration. It is also partly admitted that what you said is correct - the Visigothic Republic has indeed become the greatest trouble of the Old World. ”

"Just trouble?" asked Victoria, a little unwillingly, listening to William's words.

"Yes, at least for the Empire, it's just trouble. ”

"Is that really all that?" asked Victoria, "what ifβ€”"

"-- Your 'if' is just an 'if' at the moment. William interrupted her, and then said, "I do not rule out the possibility that the Visigothic Republic wants to pollute the whole Old World with their heresy. Their armies would attack every monarchy - nay, it should be said, every territory that did not belong to them - but, to be honest, not very likely.

I don't think they will be able to conquer the entire Old World. I don't even think that they will be able to integrate the territory of Ostrogothia. ”

"If that's what you really think, that's a real disappointment. Victoria pretended to be a little helpless, and even said that she looked at William with some contempt, and then said, "Everyone thinks you are a hero, my majesty." Everyone thinks that in this dark hour, there should be heroes who can stand up and save the world. Everybody thinks you're the right person.

But you sit on the sidelines, thinking you can stay out of it at your leisure. To be honest, it's so disappointing. ”

After saying this, Victoria shook her head helplessly, and looked at William with a little contempt in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
