That's pretty much it.
To defeat no, it can't be said to be defeat. otbnkotgt In fact, in recent times, there have been various voices within many Lombardy states, hoping to go abroad and develop overseas colonies.
However, unfortunately, first, these guys are immersed in the glory of the past, and at the same time their bones are softened by wealth.
All in all, they just don’t want to make progress and don’t have enough motivation to move forward.
After all, they are rich people.
They cannot be like the Asturians in the poor ravines or the Britons on the desert islands.
They were sandwiched between three big countries and could not even breathe freely.
The Frisians went out to fight like that.
The second is that they want to fight, but there is no place for them to fight now.
While the Lombards were still immersed in their past glory, relying on the wealth, connections and trade in the blue sea accumulated over hundreds of years, they were proud of the others and thought they were superior to others.
The new ocean bar owners have completed their rise and explosion one after another.
Asturias occupies the southern New World, Britons, and Frisia control the hub of the Spice Islands and extend their tentacles deep into the Far East.
The Visigoths also competed with the Britons for every inch of land around the world.
It was just like this, when the wealth obtained from the traditional trade routes was shrinking day by day, the Lombards began to raise their heads and look around with surprised eyes.
Then I discovered that the world had completely changed without knowing when.
Almost all the territory that should be occupied has been occupied by others.
Flags were planted in places that should not have been occupied and sovereignty was claimed.
It is too late to open up colonies now.
Turning over the world map, you can see that what is not currently occupied is only some nooks and crannies of the Spice Islands, some small islands of little value in the Eastern Ocean, and some Gobi deserts and vast dense forests in the Green Continent.
In addition to the leftovers that powerful countries do not want, if they want to obtain useful colonies, they will have to spend ten times or even a hundred times the effort.
Their opponents will not be those scumbags who don't even know how to smelt metal.
Rather, the era was at least feudal and could bring out tens of thousands of powerful countries equipped with metal weapons and possessing a large number of gunpowder weapons.
Or, simply take it from other countries in the human world.
In any case, today's rising countries need to invest more money, more manpower, and bear greater risks to develop colonies.
It's like the former Hereford family heard that the Hereford family followed the Britons and successfully acquired the territory of Neogoth.
The population and resources were not bad, and they continued to produce cotton.
With the territory of this kind of trade goods, the monarchs of these small Lombard states were almost jealous and jealous, but there was nothing they could do.
They had no way to invest 20,000 to 30,000 troops in a sea-crossing expedition like the Hereford family did to help quell a counter-insurgency war that seemed very difficult and almost unwinnable.
It's not that they don't have the capital.
Ferrara, Mantua, Modena, and Tuscany, no matter which country works hard, can gather a mercenary force of 20,000 to 30,000, and then appoint a similar general to lead it.
But the problem is, first of all, they don’t have That courage.
Secondly, they had nothing on which the Britons could rely.
In any case, such a very exciting thing, they have no share in it.
That's it, although the living standards of these Dukes are still the same.
They still have a large population, land, and wealth.
But they all had a sense of fear, urgency and crisis.
This came from the prediction of an increasingly bad future life.
Regarding the future, the feeling of being precarious and unable to control their own destiny made the Dukes feel very unhappy.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they chose to support Emperor Kalman IV at such a moment.
All in all, that's it, because there are a series of things like this.
Emperor Kalman IV received the vital 50,000-strong army The emperor's army numbered over one hundred thousand.
One hundred thousand troops.
In this era, both within the human world and for the two enemies of mankind, the former Tartariya Khanate and the Ottoman Empire of the Dark Elves, these are quite commendable numbers.
In the Middle Ages hundreds of years ago, if an emperor had an army of one hundred thousand, he could roam the human world.
It will become a new hope for the unification of the entire human world, and will also become the object of common fear and jealousy for other countries.

But, unfortunately, things are different now.
Nowadays, no country can grit its teeth and mobilize tens of thousands of troops.
Which of those powerful countries cannot mobilize an army of 100,000 people?
So the current army of 100,000 people is almost the army that a powerful force comes out after a full mobilization.
Although very impressive, it is not invincible However, in the information William received, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have distorted these two concepts.
I don't know if it's to embolden myself, or to intimidate the enemy.
Or maybe it's both possibilities.
All in all, in William's opinion, at least His Majesty the Emperor's first concept was pretty good.
After further obtaining these 50,000 troops, the army under the emperor became even more powerful.
At the same time, his men, the monarchs of the small states, and even the Lombards who gave him this aid also became more respectful of the emperor.
But it's of no use.
William calculated it, and then suddenly came to a pleasant conclusion: the emperor's hundreds of thousands of troops were of little use now because most of the emperor's enemies had been eliminated.
Nowadays, the only nominal enemies of the emperor are Frisia and Briton.
After emergency mobilization and recruitment, General John Churchill's men regrouped an army of 40,000 men, which was less than one-third of the Emperor's strength.
General John Churchill had the advantage, however, that the Britons were on the defensive.
They could use fortresses throughout Frisia to resist.
He could easily dispatch some of these 40,000 troops to guard various fortresses, and resist the Imperial Army, which was three times more powerful than him.
Relying on this time, the Britons could quickly mobilize an army equal to the emperor's strength to fight against the emperor.
At the same time, William would stab the emperor in the back.
In other words, the emperor has no way to touch Frisia now.
He must keep these hundreds of thousands of idle troops from having nothing to do.
Instead drive them to attack the Frisian line of forts and save yourself some bread and imperial gold marks.
Therefore, William finally judged the emperor's tactics to be defensive.
He would garrison in southern Lotharnia, or, more narrowly, in Great Moravia.
Waiting for the Hereford and Briton armies to turn around.
Then a battle was fought openly and openly.
On the basis of victory in this war, peace talks were held with the Britons.
William had even thought about the peace plan of Kalman IV.
Since he could not completely defeat the Britons, he would never offend the Britons too much.
And the money, materials, land, and population he lost in this war A series of resources will most likely be seized from another defeated country, the Hereford family.
If one is not careful, he might swallow the entire Wende Kingdom.
Well, maybe it's not possible.
After all, if that were the case, then Kalman IV would have become too powerful.
However, a Shilonsk with developed industry and large population should be within the acceptance range of the Britons.
It’s not just once or twice that these bastard islanders betrayed their teammates.
Sacrificing some of the interests of the Hereford family to let them end this war, William is sure that they can do this.
As a result, the Hereford family suffered heavy losses, but their foundation remained.
Although the emperor was replenished, he suffered heavy losses and could not recover in a short time.
The Britons suffered the slightest losses.
You can continue to play both sides in front of the two imperial forces and continue to strike a balance.
Think about it, this is a very pleasant thing.
And William also believed that this was the best goal that Emperor Kalman IV could achieve through his efforts. but.
Things were not as simple as William imagined.
January 16, 1742.
After receiving the latest intelligence sent back by Cheka, William finally understood one thing, that is, there may really be no good people in this world.

Human beings' moral bottom line is getting lower and lower, and they are becoming less and less honest with each other.
Even a man as majestic and majestic as Kalman IV has learned how to play dirty.
While William thought that the emperor's hundreds of thousands of troops would do nothing, the emperor's hundreds of thousands of troops did not do anything.
He still only deployed less than 20,000 troops on the border of Lotharnia, and the remaining 100,000 Under the personal leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the army is advancing at the fastest speed towards Wroclaw, the capital of the Hereford family and the capital of the Wende Kingdom.
The emperor struck first and declared war on the Herefords. 160420oshow7:
