That's it, although the other consultants are still a little unconvinced. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But after Victoria's decision, they finally didn't dare to speak. Thus, the plan against William and his White Army, and even against the entire New World battlefield, was decided by Victoria.

Victoria was happy with this. At the same time, Pete is naturally very satisfied.

It's just that, of course, one thing they didn't think about at all was that their initial premise for this conclusion - that "William did this to threaten them" was actually wrong.

Little could they have imagined that William genuinely wanted to "help" the Cherokees out of poverty and ignorance.

It is conceivable that after they really knew this, and then thought of today, they looked like they were smart and said such things proudly. They will feel very, very, very ashamed.

That's it.

But aside from that, Victoria's decision is still very threatening for William and his neo-goths. It was even said that if Victoria did do this, then William would have to overturn all his plans and do it all over again.

......

At the same time, when the war of independence in the New World came to an end, the results of this phase of the war in the New World also crossed the Atlantic Ocean and returned to the Old World with the trade winds and ocean currents.

For a time, the discussion of the Old World about the New World War of Independence became more and more enthusiastic.

It's like being in Hamburg, the most important trading hub for the entire Ostrogothic Empire and the Old World. In the deepest recesses of the city's most ornate and expansive palaces, the same is discussed among those who possess wealth, fame, skill, strength, and unseemly ambition and desire.

They are the so-called Alchemist Alliance. A community of interests that concentrated the interests of true alchemists, pagans, Protestants, emerging capitalists, big merchants, factory owners, and even Gothic aristocrats.

And Hamburg, a city full of life, money and trade, is their home base. And the so-called Hanseatic League. It is the most well-known and powerful of the 10,000 masks used by the Alchemist Alliance.

Hamburg, the headquarters of the Hanseatic League, covers an area of more than 20 acres, with an independent administrative division, an independent army and an independent judicial system, just like a city within a city. In its deepest recess. In the darkest part of this splendid palace complex. That is, the most hidden and mysterious "real decision-making layer" of the Hanseatic League. Representatives of "alchemists" and alchemists from all over the Old World were constantly discussing this issue.

The most talked about is still William, and his White Army. In fact, it was one of the most important landmark events of the war. William's army pacified the southern part of the New World colonies. This situation, which seemed to have been dominated by the rebels, has been dramatically reversed.

Perhaps before the start of the war, people would have taken the White Legion's "10,000-strong army" with some contempt. But after they easily crushed the army of 20,000 men of Count Rochambeau. Whoever utters such a thing again will definitely be ridiculed with the most contempt.

"That guy really defeated an army of 20,000 Visigoths. ”

"I remember that a few decades ago, the Visigoths could even overwhelm all the countries of the entire Old Continent. The Visigothic army was almost invincible. Whether it was the Ostrogothic Empire, the Britonsians, the Asturians, or any other nation, they would all be defeated by the Visigoths. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the 'Apollo' who was so arrogant and wanted so much that he finally provoked the whole world to unite against him, then perhaps the Visigoths would have got what they wanted—a true empire. ”

"But that was decades ago. Now, Visigoths have sunset. Their finances are in a very bad situation. Originally, they could still be arrogant with the army in their hands. But now, the last layer of tiger skin has also been punctured. ”

"Yes, the Visigoths are no longer a concern. ”

The people of the Alchemist Alliance used the most contemptuous tone to describe this outdated empire. Soon, however, the realists left aside the topic of losers and focused their discussion on William.

In the daytime, in a windowless room, in the light of a thousand of the finest cetain-wax candles, these richly dressed men could not help but look terrified when they spoke of William and of the Hereford family.

"The real intelligence is in hand, we already know all this. ”

"Yes, the Herefords are terrible. ”

"It's not that the Herefords are terrible. The one who was really scary was William. ”

"Speaking of which, is he really only twenty years old? like such a horrible fellow......"

"There is no evidence that William was behind him. So we can only conclude that it was all due to Wilhelm von Hereford. ”

"That's why it's scary. He was only eighteen years old at the time of the Second Great Frontier War, right?"

"No, not the Second Great Frontier War. Rather, it was the time when King Otto became an earl. By the time he presided over the Circassian New Deal, William had already made a name for himself. At that time, he was only sixteen years old. ”

Such words once again caused a burst of exclamations from the participants. Although they had heard a lot about it, the evidence, and the intelligence before that. But every time they hear about something like this, they can't help but be surprised.

"I now feel that Visigoths will not be his opponents. ”

"There was little hope not only for the Visigoths, but also for the independent armies. ”

"If that's the case, are we going to continue to fight him?"

"Do you want to stop funding the independent forces of the New World?"

"If they are doomed, then why should we throw our money into the sea?"

"But...... After all, there are only 10,000 of them...... If...... If we do our best to fund the independent forces, then we can still win. ”

"But what's in it for us? We don't gain more than we lose. Resources and benefits of the New World. It's not worth the cost of all that we spend. What's more, this time it's back to that terrible guy who is evil William. I don't want to be his enemy. ”

"But if we give up funding independent forces, will we be able to sell them out?"

"No, in fact, he was connected to us from the beginning. Our collaboration with the Hereford family has always been a pleasure. There must be quite a few of you who have business dealings with the Hereford family, right? In addition to this, there are many officials, technicians, teachers and scholars in the Russian Kingdom, all of whom are our people!"

"Do you mean that we can steal everything from the Russian kingdom for ourselves?"

"That's impossible, I didn't want to be a king. What I would say is that we can prop up William. We benefit from each other. ”

"It's not impossible...... William's inclination is similar to ours. Nor is he a man who is willing to be lonely. And he was religiously more inclined to Protestantism. ”

"You're saying he could be one of us?"

"Why not? He does everything like we do, except that he does it better than we do. Why can't we accept Him and become one of us? ”

"Maybe that's a good idea. The power of the Hereford family is very strong. If we unite, then the new imperial plan will definitely succeed!"

"Yes, nothing in the New World is a matter of concern compared to the New Imperial Plan. If you can use this as a bargaining chip, you can exchange it for William, and Hereford's friendship. In exchange for them to be a part of us, then it would be better. ”

"No, I think you're overthinking it. It was at this time that the opposite opinion was raised: "Don't forget, he didn't just work closely with us. He worked equally closely with the Britons. And even closer.

In the beginning, he was invited to intervene in the war in the New World by the Britons. Maybe it's more than an alliance with us. Become a member of the Alliance of Alchemists of the Continent. He prefers to form an alliance with the Britons, and then, like the Britons, with the Russian Kingdom as the core, to form a nation of alchemists independent of our Alchemist Alliance!"

Hearing him say this, everyone present fell silent. After a few moments, someone spoke.

"Yes, it's not impossible. ”

"He's too close to the Britons. Don't go any further, we originally funded the independence elements of the New World in order to make trouble for the Britons. ”

"But the alliance with the Britons is a race against the tiger. He should have known that we were more reliable than the Bretons and the Goths. ”

"Who knows what he thinks. Can you still run into his head and ask if that guy wants to ally with us, or with the Britons?"

"Maybe he's betting on both sides. ”

"The geographical location of the Russian kingdom is very good. He has no strong enemies in the East. The Hereford family, on the edge of the Old World, qualifies to be the last guy to place a bet. ”

"It's not in our interest. Are we really going to fight the Herefords?"

"It's not us who are going to stand against it now, it's the guys from the Hereford family. ”

But they didn't say that either. ”

"Then we ought to ask first -- send messengers, and we should know the exact thoughts of the Hereford family. This is vital to the future of the Alliance!"
