That's it, after William learned about this series of things, he found that he had thought about something wrong. otbnkotgt Before this, he had been analyzing Britons as a complete force, but unfortunately, this was wrong.
As the most "advanced" country, Briton has basically abolished local feudal separatism and established a nominally centralized government.
However, internal factional strife and mutual restraint still occur frequently.
In addition to the two factions, the mainland faction and the overseas colonial faction, there are also royal factions and parliamentary factions within the government.
Although the royal family was defeated in the previous war with the Parliament and lost some of its rights, there were still a large number of nobles and powerful classes united around the royal family, and their power was also very powerful.
When facing the royal family, the Main Road faction and the overseas colonial faction will unite and fight as a "parliament".
However, at the same time, the two factions will occasionally cooperate with the royal family to suppress other factions and let their own Policies were adopted within the kingdom.
All in all, Briton is such a chaotic and orderly state.
They hold each other back during important national events.
It's like now, before, William analyzed this war with all the strength of Brython, and finally came to the conclusion that Brython would win, but in fact that was not the case at all.
Because of all kinds of hindrances.
Britton could only use up to one-third of his strength.
The original army of 200,000 could only dispatch 60,000 to 80,000.
On the contrary, this war is a critical moment of life and death for Kalman IV, and he must use as much strength as he has.
In other words, this war was actually a mutual restraint.
With 100% of the force, only 30% of the Britons could be used at most.
With Kalman IV who participated wholeheartedly in the war, the forces of both sides reached a subtle balance.
This situation was beyond William's expectation.
It can be said to be an unexpected joy, yes, joy, there is nothing wrong with it, it is joy.
Originally, William thought that this was a war without any suspense.
But the fact is that both sides are equally powerful.
In this case, he, as a third party, has simply become Yuan Shikai during the Hundred Days Reform period, no, much higher than that.
The five professional legions under the Hereford family, with an army of 50,000, are enough to become the key player in determining the outcome of the entire war.
Because of this, the importance of the Hereford family increased countless times.
It is also because of this that Victoria would condescend to beg for herself.
"So, what are you going to do before you are willing to send troops?"
Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have no patience to waste time with William anymore.
She stared at William, and then asked: "How much money do you need, how much money do you need, how much supplies do you need?
Just tell me a number, and we can do it again."
"Do you think we are mercenaries?"
William interrupted the other party rudely: "What do you want to do to hire a family with three kingdoms to fight for your interests?"
""William's rude words made Victoria very angry, but she understood immediately.
Although there is a hint of contempt as well as understanding, it is not a big deal.
Yes, just like William said, now he is a king, one of the rulers of the Hereford family, and the Hereford family with three crowns has become one of the most powerful people in the human world.
One of the most noble families.
In any case, they are not afraid even when facing Victoria.
Even from the aristocratic class, Victoria, as a duchess, had to maintain enough respect for William.
Therefore, it is natural that what Victoria said made William feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'm sorry for that."
Victoria calmed down for a moment, then solemnly apologized to William, and made a lady's bow to William.
In fact, William was not really unhappy with her, he was just making a gesture to get more benefits for himself.
So William forgave Victoria without hesitation.
Both sides calmed down for a while and then continued to discuss the war.
"Of course, my reason is the same as what I said before."
William said: "The Hereford family needs to recuperate.

We have just conquered Shilonsk, and Polotsk has just been unified.
We have countless things to do.
To do.
In this case, peace is more in the interests of the Hereford family than war."
"But Britton needs to win this war."
On the other side, Victoria said calmly: "We need enough troops and enough support.
You don't want to see the emperor truly unify the entire empire, do you?"
"Indeed.
But as of now, the power possessed by Briton and its allies is no less than that of the Emperor and his allies."
"But not more than them."
"So."
William asked easily: "So, why don't you try first?
If you can win with your own strength, there will be no need to seek any help from the Hereford family.
Assistance.
And if you are really defeated, I swear that once the coalition forces are in a disadvantageous position, the 50,000 troops of the Hereford family will appear on the battlefield as soon as possible. " ""Victoria looked at William very unhappy.
The other party seemed determined to defeat him.
He could even say this despicable and shameless thing like: "You go first, and then I'll say it after you die."
This simply refreshed her concept of shamelessness.
And William really acted like I am just trying to make a profit, I am going to do this, what can you do to me, Victoria was really at a loss for a while.
"So, that's it.
If there is nothing else, I have other things to do.
You can do whatever you want, I will."
"Ocean."
Victoria spit out such a word before William was about to leave.
This made William feel that great danger was approaching.
"What ocean are you talking about?"
"Jutland, the meeting point of the North Sea and the Polotsk Sea.
Naval blockade."
As Victoria spat out the words one by one, William's face became increasingly ugly.
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting.
It's just that I am going to instigate the parliament to pass a decree."
Victoria said in a relaxed tone: "In order to ensure victory in this war that is related to the dominant power of the human world, Britton will use his own naval power. , blocking the trade of the entire human world.
We will issue more privateering licenses and send more fleets to patrol the main routes.
Then, a very unfortunate thing is that this blockade will face all countries with hostile and neutral attitudes.
Of course, this includes Wende, Polotsk, and Russia. " ""William's face was extremely ugly.
"You can't do this, you shouldn't say, you can't do this," William almost blurted out.
"Why can't I do that?"
Victoria looked at this woman and sneered without saying anything.
Looking at her, William didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yes, what should he say?
He said that this violated the policy of free trade. , saying that this will cause the entire human world's commerce and manufacturing to shrink significantly, saying that this will seriously harm the Hereford family, yes, well, the last one is what William is most concerned about.
Today, Hereford has a very high demand for navigation and maritime trade.
The demand for cotton in the neo-Gothic colonies was extremely high.
At the same time, the Neo-Gothic colonies also needed industrial products provided by the local area, and even imported food from the local area to supply themselves.

This trade between the overseas territories and the mainland was maintained entirely by sea transportation.
If the Britons really did what Victoria said, it would be a huge blow to the Hereford family.
The Neo-Gothic colony had a large backlog of cotton, was unable to obtain any necessities of life, and was about to collapse.
At the same time, Hereford's local transformation of the textile industry will also be put to waste in the shortest possible time.
Not to mention that a large amount of investment has been wasted, and it is absolutely impossible to change it back in a short period of time.
A large number of people related to the textile industry, factory owners, nobles and textile workers were bankrupt and unemployed.
Shilonsk was originally a newly conquered and unstable territory.
With such a chaos, how much effort does it take for the Hereford family to suppress the chaos?
In addition, the Hereford family also relies heavily on maritime trade for the supply of goods to other parts of the human world, supply of industrial products to the empire, bulk grain trade, oil, dairy products and meat products.
Railway transportation is still only in this era.
In the era of this plan, cutting off the maritime trade was equivalent to cutting off the entire Hereford family's prosperous trade in grain products and industrial products, which was also equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of the Hereford family.
After losing trade, losing the colony, and losing the market for industrial products, what is left of the Hereford family?
Large tracts of land squeezed by moldy grain, unsold products, farmers bankrupt, factories closed down, everyone will feel sorry for Heri.
The Ford family was full of complaints.
In a short period of time, these complaints will quickly ferment, and then form a powerful wave of opposition to the Hereford family.
If one is not careful, the Hereford family's rule in the large border area will be overthrown.
Even if it is not overthrown, the Hereford family has withstood this "test", and therefore, in decades, Even losing the motivation to move forward for a longer period of time, it is like a dead body lying in the large border area.
It can no longer evolve into the most powerful imperial country in the world as William thought. "" Although the above description is only the "worst" possibility, William really doesn't dare to bet.
He never wants to use all his efforts in the first half of his life to bet on a "possibility".
So William was silent.
William felt extremely ridiculous.
William wanted to reach out angrily and strangle to death the bastard in front of him who was smiling calmly and looking at him without saying a word, as if he had mastered everything.
William finally understood one thing.
When the Britons had sufficient naval superiority and the Hereford family had nothing that could replace seafaring trade, he could only choose to form an alliance with the Britons.
The originally expected compromise was just an unrealistic illusion, which was easily shattered by Victoria. 160420oshow7:
