The army of the Ottoman Empire disappeared in this way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of the 200,000 most elite troops, at least 50,000 were killed, more than 100,000 were taken prisoner, and the rest either disappeared or fled. The most combat-ready army of the Ottoman Empire was wiped out. With the former Frontier Corps, as well as the Caucasian Legion that was about to be wiped out.

The losses of the Ottoman Empire would have amounted to, or even more than, 400,000 troops.

This shortfall of 400,000 people cannot be made up in a day or two. That is, for a long time, the Ottoman Empire will be in a vacuum - they will have no defense. The vast territory was not garrisoned by a single army. Not a single Dark Elf banner could be found for thousands of kilometers.

When the remnants of the defeated Fatimid army fled to Anatolia and the news of the defeat spread, the entire Ottoman Empire was in the midst of a period of confusion and then fell into the most violent chaos.

Some local officials and governors instinctively wanted to cover up the facts. But the news spread just too fast. At the same time, William's Cheka agents are also indispensable.

Efforts to block information were ineffective. Soon, the entire empire was in turmoil. Everyone thought that this time the Ottoman Empire was finished.

Wilhelm von Hereford. Once again, he used facts to declare the truth that he is the best general and the best commander in the world...... No, or maybe it's not "truth" but "truth".

Even the guy who is the most contemptuous, the most despised, and the most hostile to William, has to admit at this moment that this guy who is not yet thirty years old and can still be called a young man is the best in the world and a unique existence in the world.

Originally, there were still some controversies in this world, such as who thinks that whoever is stronger than William, who is more powerful than William, and who is more capable of commanding than William, William is definitely not as good as anyone who can fight.

However, after William defeated the 200,000 troops of the Ottoman Empire and the Dark Elves, all these statements disappeared in an instant.

That's not some scum, it's not some weak chicken, it's a dark elf, the enemy of humanity. A super-powerful existence that claims to be on a par with the entire Old World in one country!

Although, in fact, after the Industrial Revolution and various reforms, the power of the dark elves is not so high. But messages are delayed.

This kind of thing is known to a few smart people and the leaders of important countries, and the vast majority of people do not know.

The vast majority of civilians, in fact, still regard the Ottoman Empire and the Dark Elves as the terrifyingly powerful one hundreds of years ago. A terrifying monster that requires all of humanity to concentrate and attack together to achieve victory.

Think about it, William and his army have defeated even such a terrible monster. So what does that mean. Naturally, it means that William is a super monster who is even more monster than a monster. is the most powerful in the world. This is true of himself, as well as of his empire.

When you think about it this way, people are naturally afraid and frightened, or vaguely expecting William.

To say fear and fear is mainly to speak of those enemies of William. The Visigoths, the Asturians and, of course, most importantly, the Britons - because the Britons had the most resources at their disposal. Moreover, with the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire, the interests of the conflict were greatest. At the same time, war is most likely.

And the guy who has expectations for William is naturally the Goths who are currently under the control and rule of the Britons.

That is, the entire Ostrogothic Empire.

Although there is no clear definition and a wide audience. But the rudiments of nationalism and nationalism have indeed emerged. And it will gradually increase over time.

This led to increased difficulty for the Britonians to control, or rather rule, the Ostrogothic Empire. After all, they were not Goths - it was even said that the Ostrogoths could accept Visigothic rule, even enslavement. After all, they are the same people as themselves - at least they were. The blood, culture, and history of the two sides are very close. Although over the course of a few hundred years, the national character of the Gothic peoples of the East and the West has changed differently. It's getting a little different. But as long as someone can convince them well, that's no problem at all.

The differences and gaps between the East and West Goths will never be much greater than the gap between Southerners and Northerners in William's previous life.

It would be nice to say that the Asturians, or even the Lombards, controlled the Ostrogoths. Because they still recognize themselves as a branch of the Gothic Empire, and they still recognize themselves as Goths.

This is not the case with the Britons. The Bretons were the only ones who did not consider themselves Goths. Although, in reality, they did not differ much from the Goths in blood. Even culturally it barely fits into one category. But the Bretons, who considered themselves different, still did not think, or rather disdained, to recognize relatives with these fellows.

This uncooperative attitude rightly aroused the resentment of the Ostrogoths. It is also natural that the Ostrogoths do not agree with the rule of these Britons.

So a lot of times, a sense of identity is very important. Especially when both sides have to live in the same world.

These Ostrogoths themselves did not have the strength to oppose the Britons.

Although the Britons enslaved them, and the Britons split the empire, the Britons were not allowed to have even an emperor. But they still don't have the power.

You can't do anything without power. So they pinned all their hopes on the Hereford family, the new Gothic Empire - the Russian-Gothic Empire.

Expect help from the Russian-Gothic Empire. Especially when this empire has just defeated such a formidable enemy.

William did not defend the speculation and disgust of outsiders, and William did not respond to other people's expectations at all. In fact, there was so much for William to do at this moment. Hiding to the point where he simply didn't want to, and wasn't willing to respond to, the mess.

First of all, he was to advance as fast as he could, advancing into Constantinople. At the same time, he was to issue a statement that the Herefords, the 500,000-strong army of the Russian-Gothic Empire (imaginary number, of course), would support Fatima in his continued role as Sudan. Anyone who does not become the legal heir of Fatima and the legal heir of Fatima claims to be the Sultan of the Empire, the ruler of the Empire is wrong and illegitimate. It will inevitably be opposed and resisted by Sultan and his great allies.

At the same time, William also announced that he would make an alliance with the female Sudan. The two sides will form a comprehensive strategic alliance.

In order to help Fatima, in order to help the Ottoman Empire become more civilized and civilized, the Ottoman Empire will send advisers to various government departments, armies, and factories of the Ottoman Empire to guide and help.

At the same time, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian-Gothic Empire would open their borders and ports to each other.

The inhabitants and armies of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian-Gothic Empire were free to move through each other's territories.

At the same time, when the two sides trade goods, both sides will not impose any customs duties. The two sides will form such a customs union.

And then there's the covenant. That is, it is natural that when any country declares war on one of them, or one of them declares war on any country, the other empire unconditionally declares war on a certain country.

It can be said that after the signing of this treaty, the Ottoman Empire completely lost its existence as an independent state, and became a vassal state of the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire.

These treaties look as if they are fair. But in reality there is absolutely no fairness at all.

Because the exports of the Ottoman Empire, which was backward in industrial capacity, were definitely smaller than those of the Russian-Gothic Empire. Under these circumstances, the two sides were exempted from customs duties on each other, and the inevitable result was that the backward industrial and commercial system of the Ottoman Empire was quickly washed away and reduced to a dumping market for goods from the Russian-Gothic Empire.

Of course, William wouldn't have completely forgotten these places. The Ottoman Empire also had his advantages. Whether it is farming or planting. Whether it is fishing or low-end production and processing, labor-intensive industries. The Ottoman Empire could all develop.

William's ultimate goal was to transform the Ottoman Empire into a country with little or no heavy industry. The dominant industries were farming and planting, and at the same time there was a large light industry The reason for this was that William's imperial industry needed a larger industrial population, more, more, more...... Despite having a population of about 20 million. But William, who is vigorously developing industry, still feels the existence of a manpower gap. Under these circumstances, William could only endure the pain and temporarily convert part of the agricultural population to industry.

In fact, in recent times, agriculture, which had been the pillar of the Russian-Gothic Empire's strength, has retreated. The share of agricultural exports is gradually decreasing.

Mainly because in recent times, the war in the Ostrogothic Empire has subsided and production has resumed. Therefore, the demand for grain and agricultural products in the international market has decreased. So I can't see that for the time being.

Otherwise, without the vast and advanced agricultural and pastoral production system of the Russian-Gothic Empire, the whole Old World would have fallen into a food crisis.

William was still thinking about whether to cut the number of farmers again. After all, in recent times, with the advancement of the chemical industry, the cost of synthetic ammonia and synthetic fertilizers has decreased, and the large-scale popularization of chemical fertilizers is no longer a dream.

The progress of science and technology has increased agricultural production, so that there is no need or need to preserve so many agricultural populations...... Merely......

William still couldn't make up his mind, and until now, he has the second best producer of agricultural products in the world. Industrial Bases and Large-scale Agricultural Product Bases
