Yes, a very surprising thing, but when you think about it, it seems that His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Wende, Henri von Trieste, committed suicide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His Majesty was alive with a clear mind and did not do anything great. A mess with a high hand in the eye. The death was equally unclear and unclear - according to his original thoughts, he wanted to disgust the Hereford family with his own death - just like what William and the others had discussed before, if King Henry really had three long and two short, it would be a serious blow to the reputation of the Hereford family.

Although King Henry did not achieve much during his reign, he was also the legitimate Grand Duke of Shilonsk, and he was just pushed to the ground by a group of nouveau riche of the Hereford family, and then killed, what the people of Shilonsk would think, this can be imagined.

As long as this matter spreads, the Hereford family wants to pacify and govern Shilonsk, and they don't know how much more energy and time it will take. This is what King Henry came up with, and finally, the trick of revenge on the Hereford family.

He wasn't much of a warrior and wouldn't normally think of suicide at all. But he thought about it left and right, thought about it before and after, but he couldn't think of the possibility of turning the tables around. In despair, the hatred of the Hereford family trumped the fear of death. In the end, King Henry chose to commit suicide.

It's just a pity. It's the same as William had said before - after he fell into the hands of the Hereford family, he was alive, so to speak, he was dead, and he could be said to be alive - after realizing that King Henry had committed suicide, the members of the internal guard looked at each other and did not say anything - after accepting this mission, they were told how to deal with various emergencies, including the response to King Henry's "death".

None of them spoke, let alone shouted. After that, he took out a makeup case, and then gave King Henry a little "makeup". After that, he "helped" King Henry and walked out of the study.

And just like that, the problem was solved. King Henry was declared to have gone to a monastery to cultivate his self-cultivation. Trusted priests in the service of the Hereford family will bless his body with divine magic and embalm. Next, a Cheka agent will be tricked out, dressed as him to get through the trick...... In this way, at least for a few years, no one will know about this King Henry. Even if anyone did know, it wouldn't be too large-scale - even the disguised King Henry would be able to stand up and calm people when necessary.

That's it, the last difficult problem of the Shilonsk Raiders campaign was easily solved. The Hereford family completely controlled the most powerful state in the Wende Kingdom. The Grand Duchy, which had a strong textile industry and a large traditional market, was marketed throughout the empire.

It also marks the success of the Hereford family's plan for the Wende Kingdom. The largest imperial power in the East fell under the control of the Hereford family. Next, it is necessary to advertise the princes, perform the coronation ceremony, and officially sit on the identity and title of King Wende...... Of course, this is only a nominal addition to the program. In fact, there is not much of an obstacle for the Hereford family to control the whole of Wende......

That's it, the entire kingdom of Wende came under the control of the Hereford family...... It seems to have been said many times, but don't worry, because it's so important that even a few more words are fine - and it is because of this that the Hereford family has finally, finally, finally- gone from a remote, even somewhat funny, savage, country-like, nouveau riche family.

They really intervened in the empire - a state founded on the land of the barbaric Slavites in order to satisfy the emperor's desire to expand the territory - that is, Russia, which could never be compared with the first state of the empire, Wende.

Just as before, the identity of the "King Wend", that is, King Henry, changed after he got the country, and the identity of the Hereford family also changed.

Of course, unlike King Henry's weakened chicken, the identity of the Hereford family has been sublimated.

From the Middle Ages to the present, when the imperial order was established, as long as the Wende Kingdom is unified in any period of time, then it is natural that he will become one of the most powerful states of the empire.

Obtaining the Wende Kingdom is equivalent to getting a strong voice in the empire, as well as a lofty status, and it is one step closer to becoming the emperor.

What's more, the Wende Kingdom that the Hereford family has obtained now is different from the Wende Kingdom of other eras.

For hundreds of years from the Middle Ages to the present, the most painful thing for generations of Bunde kings was its eastern border. The invasion of the Slavites, and the Centaur tribe that came later, troubled the successive Vender kings.

With the troubles on the eastern border dragging its feet, the Wende Kingdom is powerless to develop with peace of mind or to compete for the imperial throne in the west. Therefore, although the Wende Kingdom is one of the traditional powerhouses of the Empire, there are very few people who can go one step further and become the Emperor.

But the Hereford family is different. Before becoming the Wende Kingdom, their status was that of the Frontier Aristocrats, the most marginal kingdom of human world civilization. In the declining state of the Tartariya Khanate, the Herefords were completely worthy of their eastern frontier - they could devote all their power to the struggle within the empire - and the "Mond King" with "two" and "new" kingdoms was far more powerful than any Vent king in history.

It was also in the case of the merger of Wende with Russia, as well as with Polotsk, that the situation of the entire Ostrogothic Empire, and indeed the whole world, was completely changed. A huge country with a territory almost the size of the other territories of the empire, a population of nearly 10 million, a rudimentary industrial power, and a navy that ranks among the top five in the world...... One could even say that a monster-like country appeared. An unimaginably terrifying country with near-limitless potential has emerged.

The reason why he has unlimited potential is not only because of the size of his territory, but also because of the size of his population - in the former, there are too many barren wildernesses, ice fields, black forests, and other uncultivated territories in Hereford. And if we talk about the number of people. Nearly 10 million people are indeed quite good, but there are not no human nations today whose population is equal to, or even surpasses, it's it.

Briton has a native population of more than 13 million, with 5.5 million people in Frisia, northern Loterania, Normandy and Aquitaine on the mainland. Britton has a population of more than 18 million.

Great Moravia, the domain of Emperor Kalman IV, had a population of 8 million, while Lombardy had a population of nearly 10 million. The Carpathian Kingdom has a population of more than three million. The population under the control of Kalman IV exceeded twenty million.

The Visigothic Kingdom is the country with the most rapid development in recent years, with a population of more than 15 million. At the same time, its small follower, the Kingdom of Asturias, has a population of more than 10 million - not counting the several island strongholds of the Kingdom of Asturias in the blue seas, as well as the population of parts of the territory south of Lombardy.

The Protestant Confederation excluding Frisia, including Franconia, Lotternia, the northern states of the empire, and the Duchy of Jutland, also had a population of more than 10 million......

That's it, excluding the territory of the Hereford family, there are still four forces in the human world with a population of more than 10 million. If you count the countries alone, there are three.

If you count the outside of the human world, then the population of the Ottoman Empire under the control of the dark elves is definitely more than 10 million. The population of the Zoroastrian Empire east of the Ottoman Empire could have been so large...... There are many small states in India, but the population of the Mughal Empire that controls the north-central part of India is definitely not small.

So when it comes to the number of people, the Hereford family doesn't have an advantage.

What really dominates it is its diplomatic form......

The Hereford family has no natural predators.

Yes, there are no natural predators - there is no country that is inherently hostile to the Hereford family in the concept of "geography" -

Prior to this, King Wende had Centaurs and Slavians as rivals, and the other states within the empire were even more aggressive. The hatred between each other is almost deep.

Emperor Kalman IV faced the threat of invasion from the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, Lombardy, which was geographically close to independence in the Alps from the empire mainland, faced the maritime threat of the Asturian and Ottoman empires.

The Kingdom of Briton, which has a high status in the human world, wants to preserve its continental territory and is inseparable from the two Gothic kingdoms.

Visigothic and Ostrogothic inseparable......

Every powerful country or powerful force with a name in the human world has an old enemy with irreconcilable contradictions with it, and its strength is close to being evenly matched, pulling its hind legs, holding its strength, and hindering its development.

Whenever a country wants to declare war on an enemy, when it wants to expand its colonies overseas, when it wants to reform internally...... It always has to think about the consequences of doing so...... Will you be targeted by your own enemies, will you be countered by your own enemies, and if things get bad, will your enemies come and make a face of yourself.

It can be said that all the powerful countries in the human world have this burden at present...... The only exception is probably the same, geographically close to closed Asturias. This is one of the reasons why in the previous era, the Asturians were able to create brilliance. It's just a pity that this mighty empire rotted from within and was eventually breached. Today's Asturias is like a chicken with a bad plague, listless. If nothing miracles happen, then it will collapse and never recover...... It's really blind to such a good geographical location, and such a huge colony.

That's it. Excluding the kingdom of Asturias, there is no such burden in the human world, only the territory of the Hereford family under the control of Hereford.
