"Goths.otbnkotgt William's question made the other party stunned for a long time.
"I probably don't know either."
The young officer was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I heard my grandfather say that the empire is very big, very far away, on the other side of the ocean.
The empire is always in war. .
The lords and nobles there are all greedy and mean to me.
It is for this reason that we fled to the New World and lived here for four generations with those from Asturias, the Britons, the Visigoths, and even the Slavs.
I don't think we are any different.
We worship the same god, the Lord of Radiance.
We also live in the same town.
Most people spoke both Brythonic and Gothic.
When facing those natives who could skin them, we fought side by side.
If I really want to say it, we are a whole, we are the same race, although in fact, we do not have the concept of a race. " "Very good, you are very honest."
William nodded.
His face was calm, showing no emotion or anger.
But the more this happened, the more nervous the young man became.
"So, what's your name?"
William then asked.
"Jason, Jason Galway."
The young man answered.
"Jason, what a good name."
William nodded, said this insincerely, and then asked: "So Jason, you know who I am, right?"
Hearing William say this, Jason's expression became even more frightened.
He gritted his teeth and finally decided to compromise: "You are William von Hereford.
Prince of Russia, heir to the Hereford family."
"Yes, that is indeed the case."
William nodded, and then continued: "But, it is not complete."
"Incomplete" the other party showed an expression: "I don't know what you are talking about", which made William feel a little funny.
But of course, William had no intention of asking him to answer, but gave him the answer solemnly: "I not only have the above-mentioned identity, I also have a more important one."
He said: "I am a Goth." "" The young Continental Army commander didn't know what to say for a moment.
He just stared at William blankly, his mouth wide open, like a fish thrown to the shore.
"That's it, young man, have a good rest.
After this war is over, you can go home."
After William said this, he patted the guy on the shoulder.
Then he turned around and left the room.
Outside the room were the soldiers of the White Legion who were busy.
After yesterday's melee, Savannah has become a city close to ruins.
The white legionnaires of the Hereford family wandered around in such a city.
Collecting anything that can be used as military supplies.
The most important thing is food.
"We still haven't made any contact with the other party, I mean the British colonial authorities."
Next to William, a messenger said nervously: "A fleet has been dispatched to search north along the coastline of the New World.
At the same time, a liaison ship has been dispatched, Return to Caribbean Islands Station."
"There is no need to worry about this kind of thing.
The New World is vast and sparsely populated.
Even in the Thirteen States Colony, its span is by no means weaker than any country in the Old World.

We need to be patient."
William said.
"Then what should we do next, continue to wait, or launch an attack?"
Charlotte asked beside William.
"Neither."
William replied.
"Neither" "Waiting and doing nothing is the stupidest way to respond.
If I really do this, I think that guy will definitely take back the previous agreement, I mean, the agreement to cede the six southern colonial states to me.
As for attacking, of course I will attack, but not now."
"So now, what are we going to do?"
Shalumi asked.
"What we have to do is to announce our arrival."
William said: "The Goths in the New World need to think that the Gothic King will manage them.
You think so, right?
They are responsible for the establishment of the Old World.
The Tun people lost confidence, but they didn't lose confidence in the Goths of the Old World, right?"
"I just heard the words of that young relative.
Speaking of which, they lost confidence in the Goths of the Old World probably earlier than they lost confidence in the Britons of the Old World.
Otherwise, they would also I won’t come to the New World.”
Next to William, Elise put forward such a different opinion. " "Then let them re-establish their confidence in the Goths of the Old World."
William said decisively.
"You just set fire to the city of Savannah."
Charlotte looked at William with some disbelief: "I don't believe that they would treat an army that had just defeated them, killed their people, and then burned them The guys in Homeland surrender.
To be honest, the residents of the New World are much more savage and freer than the ones in the Old World.
They seem to be feral.
Give up the fight."
"That's true."
William smiled: "But it's interesting because of this.
I sent all the members of the Cheka.
Next, I need to do something to turn around the residents of the New World.
What do you think of the colonists in the New World?"
"Well, ask me, I don't have any research on this."
Shalumi shook his head, so William looked at Elise again.
"Because of profit."
Elise answered to the point with "the correct answer."
But this did not satisfy William.
Elise's answer was too general, as if she were doing an arithmetic problem and filling in five plus two after the equal sign of five plus two.
It makes no sense.
"Yes, interests.
But what about the specifics?"
William asked: "The Thirteen States Colonies have been loyal to the Britons for the past 170 years.
Why at this time, the Thirteen States Colonies suddenly There was a rebellion all over, have you ever thought about the reason?”
"No."
Elise thought for a moment, then shook her head decisively and gave up thinking about this matter.
"During the month I was in Russia, in addition to handling my daily official duties and preparing to enter the New World, I was also thinking about this issue."

William said: "Why did they rebel?
What was the reason for their rebellion?
If this problem is not solved, If there is a problem, then even if this rebellion is suppressed, there will be a new rebellion in the future, even if it changes its owner and changes from Briton to Goth."
"So, what did you think of?"
"Economy.
My dear."
William rarely expressed his emotions in such an explicit way.
But precisely because of this, Elise could clearly see how much joy there was in William's tone.
"economy" "Yes, the economy."
William said: "When a country is in a normal state, the economy determines politics, and politics determines war.
Maybe we can simplify this process again, simplify it to this Economics determines war.
"There is an economic war between the Thirteen States Colonies and the British mainland.
I heard that the British people want the colonies to pay a special tax to buy British tea.
Those teas are from Indy.
It was trafficked from the Dragon Kingdom."
Elise suddenly said: "Is it because of this?"
"No."
William shook his head: "Although those guys, I mean the upper echelons of the colonies, which is now the Republic of the United States, propagandized like this.
Special taxes will increase the burden on the people of the colonies, so the Britons are evil.
Tyrants, they were squeezing the colonial people and stuff.
But in fact, this is just propaganda.
In fact, the real reason is not this. " "Why do you say that?"
"Because the tea tax is paid based on head count."
William replied: "It is actually a variant of the head tax.
It is paid based on the number of people.
In other words, the money is paid equally to the poor and the rich.
The poor may feel that It's tough.
But the rich don't, in fact, in the New World. , and you can't find those who are truly poor.
The place is too vast and the resources are too abundant, so you can find ways to make a fortune by using your brain.
The reason why they want to publicize the tea tax is not only to make themselves appear more righteous.
In addition, it is also to conceal their true goals.”
"So, they have other purposes.
Those rich people, what is the purpose of the high-level officials of the Republic?"
Shalumi couldn't help but ask.
"It's cotton."
William replied: "Although there may be other reasons, such as ambition, such as really wanting freedom and glory.
But, in the final analysis, the Thirteen States Colonies must stand up against Briton.
The most important reason is cotton," William said.
"The most important cash crop in the colonies.
It is also a cash crop spread all over the southern colonies.
Cotton manor, orc slaves, and the manor owners who have become rich because of it.
They almost monopolize the entire top level of the Republic."
At this point, William revealed Ironic smile: "They grew a lot of cotton, and they hoped to develop the cotton textile industry so that they could make more money.
And very sadly, the Britons seemed to prefer wool textiles." 160420oshow7:
