Ten minutes later, everything that had just happened reached the ears of "that girl", Victoria de la Normandie. otbnkotgt "Yeah, I know."
There was no taunting, no fighting back, not even disdain.
Just a simple "I know" and nothing more.
This made the Britons who accompanied Victoria to Polotsk very strange.
They were curious and wanted to ask why, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt a little afraid that this British noblewoman with the surname "Normandy" had a bad temper.
"Because I don't need to do this at all."
Victoria thought in her heart: "He will understand soon.
The world is much more complicated than he imagined.
It does not mean that you can win if you have talent or ability.
Also It does not mean that if the army is strong and capable of fighting, it can do whatever it wants.
The power that drives this world is ultimately desire.
The most concentrated expression of desire is money.
Poor Count, let me teach you a lesson.
Although it would be very tasteless to use your status to pressure people.
But it’s quite interesting to give it a try at certain times. " Thinking of this, Victoria couldn't help showing a beautiful smile, which made all the servants and maids around her look crazy.
The development of things was no different from what Victoria expected.
After returning to the temporary office building, William's Chekas began operating at full capacity.
In a short period of time, all the information about Victoria and the Briton Company was collected.
However, this is also a matter of course, as the Briton Company is a huge transnational public organization.
At the same time, as a well-known public figure, Victoria's information was not difficult to collect.
In other words, they want everyone to know their existence.
"A multinational, huge group headquartered in London.
Its fields include textiles, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, arms and railways.
It also controls the financial and bond markets of many countries.
With hundreds of years of foundation, The amount of wealth, connections, and even military power are so great that there is even a saying in the outside world that the British company represents the kingdom better than the British royal family.
And that Victoria is the representative of this generation of this company.
A super genius born with a golden key in his mouth.
Whether it is finance or industry, whether it is politics or economics.
Although her title is only a count.
Her position in the Briton Company is only one of the executive directors, but in fact, the number of resources, wealth, and even troops she can mobilize has exceeded that of ordinary executive directors.
There are rumors that if it were not for her age, she would already be the chairman of the Bryton Company."
After understanding who his opponent was, William was in a daze for a moment.
He was really speechless and didn't know how to solve this situation.
It was obvious that the other party was much stronger than himself.
The Britons have dominated the Old World for hundreds of years, and the Britons Company has been established for hundreds of years.
His background is by no means comparable to the little family background he has accumulated over the past few years.
At the same time, the army of the Briton Empire and the major fleets of the Britons are by no means comparable to the five thousand new troops in his hands.
This war was doomed from the beginning.
It was absolutely unfair and absolutely difficult.
The level of difficulty is even higher than defeating Tartaria, much, much more.
At least when fighting against Tartariya, William knew that he had his own advantages.
One's own advantage lies in an army that is stronger than the opponent for an era, and in the solid bastion built with the strength of human science and technology.
It lies in our own cooperation in diplomacy and in taking advantage of the general trend of the human world itself.
With so many advantages, William was able to turn the tables and defeat the strong with the weak.
Finally defeated the Tartariya Khanate.

However, when facing the Briton Company, all of his "advantages" disappeared.
The opponent's technological capabilities are higher than his.
As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the British steam engine was the first in the world.
At the same time, the opponent's strength, opponent's army, and opponent's navy all completely overwhelmed the Principality of Mystia.
At the same time, as an isolated island country, the Kingdom of Briton is quite good at diplomacy.
At the same time, there are also a large number of allies in the old continent and their own trump cards to play.
William wanted to take advantage of the situation, but there was no way he could join forces.
"Furthermore, not to mention the Polotsk Sea, but the North Sea and the North Atlantic, there are countless pirates with official British backgrounds.
There are also countless British merchant fleets.
Their power is too strong.
If I send the fleet to sea when I am at odds with the other party, all my investment will be wasted.
In this case, it will be useless for me to acquire those shipyards and equipment.
It’s not all useless work.”
Thinking of this, William felt very depressed.
I just feel like my breath is stuck in my chest and I can't let it out.
"It's really damned."
William muttered such words for an unknown number of times.
"what should I do" Give up?
No competition and take back the assets.
At present, the other party has only shown interest in the shipbuilding industry, but has not extended its reach to other aspects.
So if you give up the shipbuilding industry, the other party should not have any conflict with you, right?
"But, can I really give up the ocean and develop Mystia into a land-based country with peace of mind?
Or, after some competition, I reluctantly opened a shipyard and built a fleet at a heavy cost.
After that, they could only sail in the Polotsk waters and could not continue westward to explore and trade in the North Sea, the North Atlantic, and other wider seas.
Are you kidding?”
That night, William couldn't sleep or eat well.
He was unwilling to accept failure.
He thought about it but couldn't find any solution.
I felt upset even when I was lying in bed.
In the end I couldn't sleep the whole night.
Just like that, on the next day, William dragged his tired body into the restaurant, and his decadent look shocked both Charumi and Elise.
"What's wrong with you, William?"
The two men, who had been glaring at each other just now, hurriedly came over and greeted William.
"It's okay."
William forced a smile and shook his head.
Although it was okay to feel depressed, he did not want to spread this emotion to others.
Speaking of which, recently, while William was busy hunting for bargains in Polotsk, Chalumi and Elise did nothing.
In other words, he didn't do anything serious.
Although they looked at each other and did not deal with each other, Shalomi and Elise had surprisingly consistent views on the trip to Polotsk.
They all regard this trip as tourism and entertainment.
Every day they either visit the scenic spots in Riga or go shopping in the business district.
Otherwise, he is tired of being around William, using "help" as an excuse, and is actually jealous.
This made William quite helpless.
I wanted to take care of them, but when I thought about it carefully, it was not easy to take care of them.
Shalumi had just followed him and broke out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

At this moment, as a man, William continued to work hard for his career and his dreams.
But as Shalumi is a girl, and she is also a girl studying military majors, it is a bit unkind to ask her to continue working.
As for Elise, it's a different situation.
She has good abilities.
This is the conclusion that William came to after spending a lot of time with Elise recently.
Elise has enough brains and some skills, but her brains and skills are only relative to the old-style aristocrats.
And the education she received was also the old-style aristocratic education.
The main studies are theology, speech, and rhetoric.
There may also be some so-called imperial skills taught to her by some ministers, tutors and her father.
These things meant nothing to William.
If he wanted Elise to be useful, William felt that he needed to wait at least a year or two for Elise to master at least one or two modern subjects before talking about this.
But Elise herself didn't have much awareness about this matter.
She still feels good about herself and thinks that she can become William's good wife with her own mind.
As for Shalumi's cynicism, she regarded it as the whine of a defeated dog and didn't take it seriously at all.
In this regard, William felt a little headache, although it was quite good to marry a vase to decorate the home.
But if possible, he still hopes that Elise can become really smart and contribute to his career.
So William thought carefully about finding a suitable opportunity to show off his cards to Elise and let her accept the cruel reality that "he is a useless fool."
Afterwards, William suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity.
Since he couldn't solve the problem, Elise naturally couldn't do anything.
This is a good opportunity for the other party to recognize themselves.
So William told the whole story about his encounter with the girl named Victoria yesterday, her identity, what she did, and the conflict with him, and told Elise and Chalumi everything.
Two people listen.
Just as William thought, after that, Charlotte showed a pensive and frowning expression.
But Elise looked different. 160420oshow7:
