Chapter 465: The Emperor's New Strategy


"It doesn't matter what you do.

From now on, everything in the empire has nothing to do with us. otbnkotgt After receiving reports from the Cheka for several days in a row, William always looked like he was doing everything he could.

I don't really care about this information.

For him, it was enough for the Hereford family to gain so much from this war.

He does not want to fight any more enemies within the empire, nor does he want to expand his territory within the empire.

Of course, this is not because he really does not want to do this, but because the current situation does not allow him to do so.

After the Battle of Magdeburg, the empire will be supported by the Swabian family.

Neither the Swabians nor the Britons expected the Hereford family to seize any more territory within the empire.

Don't look at it now, the Swabian family and the Britons are fighting so fiercely.

But who doesn’t know who?

If William's threat to them is elevated to the threat they each pose to each other, William is sure that these guys will unite without hesitation to form a new alliance against the Hereford family.

In this way, the Hereford family became passive.

So, it's better to watch the two of them continue to fight, with the human head hitting the dog's head.

When the time comes, I'll come back and reap the benefits.

In order to allow these two countries to feel at ease and engage in serious and lively fighting, William will also let them relax their vigilance towards the Hereford family.

Most of the Hereford family's 50,000 to 60,000 troops will return in the spring of 1743, leaving only the Third Army on the border of the Central and North Region as a garrison force to guard against emergencies.

Before that, the "important work" that William told Freya was this.

He hopes that Freya can officially serve as the commander of the Russian Third Guards, guarding the bridgehead to the interior of the empire for the Hereford family.

This task is very important, and you must choose someone with sufficient loyalty and ability.

At the same time, because the Hereford family's next strategic focus is not within the empire, this task naturally does not have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Thinking about it this way, as the same family, there is no need to care about the amount of credit, and Freya, who has sufficient loyalty and ability, is the best choice for this task.

After passing by William and drinking a lot of chicken soup for her soul, Freya also had a certain understanding of the importance of this task, and at the same time expressed her willingness to fight for the prosperity of the Hereford family for the rest of her life.

Well, good. very good.

If everyone under William fights against this realization, then William will not have to worry about the Britons, the Swabian family, the empire, or anything else.

The Hereford family can take on the world alone.

It's just a pity that there are not so many possibilities in this world, or maybe something like this.

And William has no modifiers, no mind control tower, and no way to control everyone's thinking.

This is a very, very regrettable thing.

That's it.

William, the strategic focus of the Hereford family has shifted to the east again, to the increasingly unstable Tartariya Khanate, which is tending to split, and the dark elves with ulterior motives.

After hearing that William's army was retreating.

At the same time, after hearing that the Hereford family's eastern border was unstable, both the Swabian family and the Briton Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, these bastards are best as cats in their barren and wild frontier areas.

In today's human world, because of the great border area and the rise of the Hereford family, there is more or less a kind of argument, that is, looking down on these barbaric border area bumpkins, thinking of the rise of these guys, and then getting involved in the city.

The circle of people is a terrible thing to be wary of.

Of course, with the efforts of newspapers and media funded by the Hereford family, these guys have no fighting power at all, and they have not formed much public opinion guidance.

But William still felt dissatisfied with these public opinions.

There were hints of Britons in the topics.

But now, I saw these country bumpkins leaving as expected.

Everyone felt very happy.

In this way, the Swabian family and the Britons, the traditionalists and the Protestants can freely kill each other.

That is to say, in March of 2003, William received the latest intelligence and news, which was that the current situation of the Imperial Army began to improve in all aspects.

Despite the disastrous defeat at Magdeburg, it could even be said that it was somewhat debilitating.

The previously annexed imperial territories also rebelled again.

But those southern Lombards surprisingly did not abandon him.

This surprised William.

He didn't know what the Lombards were thinking.

Maybe they still thought Magdeburg's defeat was an accident.

Or maybe they also feel that continuing to maintain the Swabian family's rule in Moravia and the Carpathians is a good thing for the Lombards.

Or they have no similar strategic vision at all and continue to give Swabians more control.

The family's capital injection was entirely because they were afraid that they would not be able to get back the balance of the previous payment, so they had to cover their positions.

All in all, William couldn't figure out what these guys were thinking.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if you can't guess.

For at least five years, the Lombardy Peninsula is not within William's consideration.

It's not a bad idea to continue to let this area settle down and enjoy the last bit of leisure time.

William thought so in his heart, and then temporarily accepted this reason.

That is, thanks to the support of the Lombards and the Hereford family.

Emperor Kalman IV rearmed an army of 100,000 men.

Then, his prestige increased a lot with the arrival of these 100,000 troops.

Next, Kalman IV also fully proved that he is an excellent strategist.

With the quantity and quality of his own army at a disadvantage, Kalman IV did not simply adopt a defensive posture.

Instead, a partial division was detached and headed towards Franconia.

His main force faced the Britons or the main force of the coalition forces along the Elbe River.

His purpose is obvious, which is to defeat and occupy Franconia again.

Even if he cannot defeat and occupy Franconia, he must open up the channel between himself and Berne, and then mobilize this person with all his strength.

The princes and dukes, who can mobilize an army of five thousand, win over to their side.

In order to continue to tie the mountainous country of Bern to his chariot, Kalman IV also spent a lot of money.

In addition to "employing" the Duke of Bern with real money and "showing the emperor's generosity", he also promised that as long as the war was victorious, he would support Bern to annex the entire Franconia, and then annex it to form A new kingdom and the status of Elector.

"Those disloyal Sallians and their erratic and irresponsible followers have made the emperor completely lose patience."

The envoy sent to Zurich at that time told the Duke of Bern: "The emperor hopes that there will be more people like him in the empire.

A loyal minister like you, such an important territory like Franconia, must not be in the hands of some unreliable families with ulterior motives.

The emperor hopes that you can be the king of Franconia more than the Salian family.

Your identity and status will never match your loyalty to the empire and the emperor, your abilities and your mind.

That's why as long as you can show your loyalty to the empire and the emperor in this war, the emperor will give you the power to rule Franconia without hesitation. " Not everyone is like William and can see through the emperor's sugar-coated bullets.

At least not the Duke of Bern.

After hearing that the emperor could actually promise him such a large territory, a king, and the title of elector, the Duke was obviously very excited.

One of the consequences of his excitement was that five thousand of the most elite Bernese mountain infantry began to coordinate the empire's partial divisions and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Franconia.

Last year, the situation before the war between the Empire and the Alliance reappeared.

The Salian family in Franconia was once again attacked from both sides by the army of traditional religious sects.

Moreover, this battle is even less suspenseful than last year's battle.

Because of the defeat last year, and because of the confrontation with the main force of Briton this year.

The number of troops in Franconia has never recovered.

The Salian family has less than 10,000 troops, and their combat effectiveness is very problematic.

Their morale is low, and they are almost about to collapse on the battlefield.

Even the Sarian family can't hold up a little bit of facade.

Not to mention being attacked from both sides, even if faced alone against the weaker of the two armies, the Bernese army, they would be unable to cope.

As a result, the Franconians began to wail, howling desperately, hoping that the main force of the coalition, the boss, the Britons, would come to help him.

After learning this information, William besides hehehehehe.

What kind of virtues do Britons really have?

Just think about the Battle of Magdeburg last year.

These bastards are the best in the world at betraying their teammates.

If they can be trusted, then men can be trusted too.

Therefore, the wailing of the Franconians is destined not to cause any movement from the Britons, and the main force who sympathizes with the Britons is busy confronting the main force of the empire.

General John Churchill, who suffered a defeat at the hands of Kalman IV last year, would not underestimate Kalman IV just because of his defeat in Magdeburg.

Now he only hates that he doesn't have enough in his hands.

How could they still be willing to dedicate their forces to support the Franconians?

Moreover, he does not have to worry about not saving his allies until death, which will affect the diplomatic evaluation of the Britons.

The performance of the Franconians before was really terrible.

Before the sectarian war, he was obviously a loyal supporter of the emperor.

But during the sectarian war, he stabbed the emperor in the back.

Then, after being defeated by the emperor, he shamelessly surrendered and returned to the embrace of the imperial family.

As a result, after the Battle of Magdeburg, seeing the decline of the empire's power, they actually surrendered to the Britons again.

Chao Qin and Mu Chu have reached this level, not to mention soldiers like General John Churchill.

Even ordinary people look down on them.

Their public opinion evaluation of these guys is that it doesn't matter.

If the empire fights back, then they can just surrender again.

But of course, they can’t have avatars either.

There is no way to surrender.

Their irresponsible attitude has made Kalman IV disgusted.

This time Kalman IV decided to solve the entire Franconian problem once and for all and would not hand over all the territory to Bern.

Just give them a bite to eat and then promote them to become a kingdom.

They will have to devour the other territories themselves to make up for the losses caused by the previous war.

All in all, although the Imperial Army's move was not a stroke of genius, it was still a very good strategy.

Seeing that Franconia is about to change hands again.

This called sectarian war is actually a war between old and new hegemonic countries competing for hegemony.

What the outcome will be in the end has become uncertain again160420oshow7:
