The Herefords do not have any overseas territories. otbnkotgt It's very sad, but it is true, whether it is the vast and fertile New World, or the wild and dangerous Green Continent.
None of these territories have anything to do with the Hereford family.
There are no trading outposts, no friendly native tribes, and no large-scale colonies.
This made the Hereford family's overseas business development very inconvenient.
Although William had a certain degree of cooperation with the large British company.
At the same time, the "other Queen" of the Briton Company also promised William that "he can share Briton's homeland, continental territory, and the market of overseas colonies."
But this is what it says, and it sounds nice, but in practice, one or more discounts must be applied.
They did all kinds of things to make things difficult, collect taxes arbitrarily, and even secretly instigated and colluded with pirates to rob, which made the merchant fleet of the Hereford family suffer deeply.
Once or twice, William could submit a written protest to Queen Victoria, but after too many times, William found it boring.
The other party has made it clear that they are sure to defeat you, so what can you do?
If the situation cannot be opened up, then the world empire belonging to the Hereford family cannot be built.
If in the Age of Discovery, obtain enough colonies and market share in the Colonial Age.
Then the Hereford family cannot be called a world-class power.
In this case, William planned to do something.
Of course, he has not yet thought about what to do.
Although the Hereford family's military strength is not bad, it will not be the opponent of the British Kingdom in any case.
And if you stand from the standpoint of the empire and work with Kalman IV to recover the imperial territory occupied by the Britons, then you can indeed effectively attack the opponent.
But at the same time, this would also completely cut off the Britons' access to the outer sea.
Because like the Hereford family, the empire is basically a continental country, and the empire also has no overseas territories or colonies.
Therefore, no matter how unhappy he was, no matter how much he felt he had been bullied, William had to continue to cooperate with the Britons.
At this moment, William seemed to understand the source of Queen Victoria's high attitude towards him and her complacent attitude.
She has indeed mastered all this, and indeed has a dominant advantage in the alliance between Britons and Hereford.
She has both a carrot and a stick.
If she was obedient, she would be given two sweet dates to eat.
If she was not obedient, she could break the Hereford family's thighs with a stick.
That's it.
When the external environment was relatively stable, William really felt that it was necessary to do something to make the Britons "pain".
But, of course, this matter cannot be noticed by the Britons, let alone damage the "friendly relationship" between the Hereford family and the large British company.
"Is there any force or country that can be used?"
William began to think about this problem.
Then I sadly came to the conclusion that there is none.
During the period when the empire was in civil strife, the Visigoth Kingdom, which was also occupied by the Britons and had too many conflicts with the Britons in its overseas colonies, would have been a good choice.
They had many conflicts with the Britons.
They can even be called feuds and mortal enemies.
It's just a pity.
After the civil strife in the empire ended, the Visigothic Kingdom immediately adjusted its policies.
Putting the conflict with the Britons second.
And put more energy on the empire.
For the Visigoths, the threat posed by the Britons was far less than the threat posed by the Ostrogothic Empire.
They shared the same language and race, and even shared the same country name.
The Ostrogoths have always wanted to make the Visigoths its "eighth kingdom and elector".
Of course, after Russia obtained this honor, the Visigoths became the ninth.
The Visigoths, on the other hand, worked hard to maintain their status as an independent kingdom from beginning to end, and tried their best to maintain their continental hegemony, and hoped to replace the Ostrogoths and become "a new empire representing the Goths."
That's it.
William turned his gaze to the south again.

The Kingdom of Asturias is another great option.
Their national power was strong, and their overseas colonies were equally vast.
As a pioneer of navigation, Asturias even once had the reputation of "King of the World".
At the same time in history, Asturias and the Britons also fought several large-scale wars due to issues of religion, overseas colonies, and the status of the Kingdom of Frisia.
It's just a pity that Asturias is going downhill at the moment.
After several defeats by the Britons, the kingdom's power declined.
Although for now, this kingdom is still one of the poles of the human world.
With its rich family wealth and vast overseas colonies, it is daunting.
But the other party may no longer have the ambition to compete with the Britons for world hegemony.
Thinking about it this way, William was a little helpless.
"Playing the empire card will cause a violent reaction from the Britons.
Eventually it will lead to a full-scale confrontation between the two sides, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
The Visigoths have even had the possibility of uniting with the Britons recently.
The Kingdom of Asturias has also It's so bad that I have no intention of intervening in the current dispute.
It's so bad.
Is there no way to deal with these bastards?
Or I have to wait for my armored fleet to be completed before I fall out with the Britons.
No matter which option it is, it seems to be terrible."
William thought in his heart, only to feel a very painful headache.
Then, something unexpected happened to William.
In July 1749, at the height of summer, news came from the New World that a rebellion had broken out in the Briton colonies in the northern continent.
Thirteen colonial strongholds declared independence and formed an independent New World Congress and government.
"Such a thing could happen."
William was a little surprised for a moment: "Although the time is slightly different, the thing is the same.
I don't know what the cause of the incident is, but indeed, this is a blow to the other party. opportunity.”
"So, do you want to support the rebels in those colonies?"
Elise, who is the staff officer, secretary, and life secretary next to William, couldn't help but ask: "If you get our support, then it will be considered a Briton." , I’m afraid it will be difficult to eliminate this rebellion in a short time.”
"That's the truth."
William nodded, and then said to himself or to Elise: "But even if we don't have assistance, these rebels will have other channels for assistance."
"Although there is no evidence, we can assume this."
Elise nodded: "And the suspects can easily be determined to be either the Visigoths, or the Continental Alchemist Alliance.
Or those rebels The army took two pieces of money at the same time.”
"Two amounts of money.
And they are both big benefactors."
William Youran: "If that's the case, then they probably won't care about the third small benefactor."
"We don't support those rebels," Elise asked; "Although, if we do, it's better than not supporting them.
We should do something at least."
"Wait a minute."
William replied: "Wait a minute.
We don't need to place a bet so quickly.
Moreover, it may not be a good thing to let those rebels win."
When he said this, he looked seriously Elise: "Elise, if a civilized and huge country with industrial power can control a territory larger than the entire human world, then what will happen next can you imagine that kind of thing?"
"You mean those rebels can rule the entire New World?"
Elise looked at William in disbelief: "How is this possible?
The Britons are so strong, I think the best they can do is let the Britons People will suffer a small loss, and then they will be wiped out, and even if I mean if they can overthrow the British rule, they will not be able to develop into what they are now, because, after all."

"It's just a possibility.
What I'm talking about is just a possibility."
William shook his head: "They don't need to occupy the entire New World.
They only need to occupy the most vast and flat northern plains.
Of course, they may also Those rebel leaders may become the founding fathers, or they may be collectively hanged for treason, who knows for sure in the future.”
William's voice was so leisurely that Elise didn't know what to say for a moment.
Therefore, she could only look at William quietly, then lean in from behind and hold William in her arms.
"Next month, we are going to get married, right."
William said: "Soon, you will be the princess, Elise.
Don't think about these anymore, think about happy things.
What do you think about our first love?"
Is the child a boy or a girl?
If it’s a boy, what’s the name?
And what’s the girl’s name?”
"It's better to be a boy."
Elise heard William say this and felt very happy for a moment: "It's better to give birth to a boy like his father, a boy who can inherit the Hereford family.
A handsome, educated, smart, brave genius.
A real man."
Elise said this while looking at William tenderly, making William feel very embarrassed.
"Am I that good?"
William asked, "If you want to praise me and make me happy, then" "No, this is my truth, Elise said this 160420oshow7:
