Chapter 557: Reason


The news of King Otto's comeback instantly ignited the high-level officials of the entire human world. otbnkotgt Did he defeat his son Wilhelm von Hereford in a political fight.

All of this makes people excited and makes them want to know the true meaning of things.

Especially when I think that this kind of real thought may lead to political turmoil in the entire human world.

And in the political turmoil like Zi'a, you, your family and your country might be able to gain more benefits.

But soon, these people realized that they were wrong.

The Herefords are still the Herefords, and the Empire is still the Empire.

The strength of the Russian Gothic Empire with Otto von Hereford was not damaged.

On the contrary, it became stronger.

This is also William's favorite model.

One leads the external development, and the other stabilizes the overall situation at the center.

Originally, before this, he had to be on tenterhooks when he went south to Ruthenia, and he had to prepare everything in advance before going to Westphalia to participate in the peace conference.

It's all very headache-inducing.

It’s not that the talent William was looking for wasn’t good.

In fact, William believed that the cabinet and administrative departments he established were already the most formal government agencies in the world.

With the large-scale popularization of the difference engine, the administrative efficiency of the empire could even surpass that of the British Kingdom, which was the first to undergo reforms.

Only it didn't work.

In addition to administrative efficiency and capability, there is another thing that is crucial.

That is the stability of the empire.

The stability of the empire is one of the most important things for the empire.

At present, it seems that the empire is temporarily unable to adopt a democratic system, that is, it cannot use a democratically elected prime minister to stabilize the political situation.

In this case, a very capable and prestigious king, or lord, who can control the situation is crucial.

Before this, William had played this role himself.

This also means that he cannot leave the center for a long time.

This will cause a very inconvenient situation, which will make William feel all kinds of unhappy.

The emergence of Prince Otto von Hereford, who had sufficient prestige and status, completely made up for this shortcoming.

In this way, the empire can finally move forward completely and with peace of mind.

As for the reason why the old king gave up his differences with his son and chose to come out again There are countless stories in the hearts of many people.

Many people believe this symbolizes the power struggle within the Hereford family.

It seems now that this power struggle ended with William and Otto compromising each other.

This makes many people very excited.

Compared with William, who was fierce, young and enterprising, Otto von Hereford, who was gentle, respected tradition and was older, was closer to their ideal monarch.

If not King Otto, now Prince Otto.

If Prince Otto can replace William as the most powerful person in the country, then life for these guys will be easy.

As for whether Prince Otto wants to ascend to the throne, most people think that Prince Otto does.

Because now, if you look at the map, you can see how terrifyingly the Russian Gothic Empire has expanded.

It owns the entire Wende Kingdom, owns the entire Polotsk, owns the entire Slavic world except the Crimean Peninsula, and also owns the Central and Northern Region composed of a number of small imperial states including Magdeburg. .

It can be said that, except for the Carpathian Kingdom, the entire large border area is under the control of the Hereford family.

Such a powerful country has completely surpassed the Centaur Tartariya Khanate that once made humans tremble and fear.

The population, army, territory, and rulers of Tartaria back then were all inferior to the current Russian Gothic Empire of the Hereford family.

However, even then, it is still a serious concern for mankind.

If, in this era of gunpowder and line infantry, the nomadic empire is somewhat outdated, then there is another human enemy in the south.

The dark elves lost to the Hereford family, but one thing became clear at the hands of the Russian Gothic Empire.

That is the army strength of the empire.

Although today, the Britons, who won the sectarian war, claim to be the first army power.

But in fact, everyone believes that a country with a peerless general like William and an unstoppable elite force like the Guards can be regarded as the number one army power.

Under such circumstances, the power the empire possesses, the territory it possesses, and the army the empire possesses are enough to frighten any opponent.

Especially the Britons who now think they have integrated the Ostrogothic Empire and become the most powerful country in the human world.

It is true that they have the world's largest navy and naval power.

At the same time, it has the world's largest industrial power and financial resources.

Both of them were quickly tied with the rapid rise of the Russian Gothic Empire.

But when it comes to the Army, they are still fearful and frightened.

The British generals had considered the situation after several wars with the Russian Gothic Empire.

And the results are always frustrating.

Even the most confident generals don't think they can defeat this empire on land.

A 50-50 split is already the best result.

For a huge country like the Hereford family and the Russian Gothic Empire, even a naval blockade would not have much effect.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the empire's Polotsk Sea Fleet is not too weak.

If these guys really want to fight, depending on the terrain and the port advantage, it will still be difficult to win.

If one accidentally lets the opponent defeat him, then the fun will be great.

Thinking this in their hearts, these generals were a little frustrated.

After they informed their boss, Victoria, of their depressing conclusions and results, Victoria naturally felt very unhappy and uncomfortable.

What on earth is this?

Have I really won?

I am really the ruler of this world.

So why do I have to face this dilemma?

However, if this guy saw the European monarchs in William's previous life and knew the anger, fear and despair they felt when they looked at Russia, then she would probably understand the reason for this.

This kind of anger and helplessness can only appear in a country with such a vast territory and such huge strategic depth.

Not to mention, today's Hereford family's empire's structure, productivity, technology, and military level are much better than that of the Russian Empire.

Under this circumstance, the Britons had to start a series of new reforms.

In addition to eliminating matchlocks and super long guns on a larger scale, manufacturing more flintlocks and bayonets, and forming more private troops, there is also a more important reform of the military system.

After experiencing a large number of wars, the Britons finally realized that the era of mercenaries was over.

More and more generals and more and more military scientists believe that Briton should form more standing armies.

It stands to reason that these standing armies cannot spend too much money, and it stands to reason that these guys had better not affect the domestic production and living order.

Under this circumstance, some "weird" things happened in Briton's military reforms.

One of them is that good people can't be soldiers.

Although the military system stipulates that everyone is obliged to fight bloody battles for the king and the kingdom, in fact, what most recruiters like to do most is to go to those idle slums and arrest scoundrels, gangsters and the like, and let them Come and be a soldier.

This is completely different from China's military system.

Chinese military strategists always believe that honest farmers or well-organized miners are the best soldiers.

As for ruffians and the like, I don’t want these guys at all.

However, it is a pity that the Eastern countries, whose armies are made up of honest people, cannot defeat Europa, whose armies are made up of ruffians.

"In the final analysis, it's because of the training of mouth and teeth."

The generals said easily about strict training, no matter how strict the training, super strict training, whips, boots, wooden sticks, corporal punishment, this is the only way, with training and discipline, Only then can these scum be trained into elite soldiers.

Why is the other party cheating?

It doesn't matter, give him a beating.

Why is the other party acting rogue?

It doesn't matter, just give him a beating.

Why does the other party resist?

Then go ahead and beat him.

Basically, it is like this.

The elite troops of the West are composed of rogues and ruffians.

This situation will last until the Napoleonic War, when the compulsory military service system was popularized.

France, which has unparalleled strength, can instantly pull out more troops than the opponent.

After several times or even more troops, everyone will suddenly wake up.

Oh, war can still be fought like this.

That's pretty much it.

The Britons are now at the stage of using scum as their army.

In addition, there is another surprising thing, which is the military contracting system.

Those guys in the army department seem to treat the army as a business.

As long as you give enough money, you can become the leader.

Then receive a sum of money that will never be enough.

It is up to the infantry commander to figure out all the weapons and equipment.

And the other officers in the regiment also want you to figure it out yourself.

Even the military uniforms require you to figure it out yourself.

Those infantry commanders who also treat the army as a business will naturally find ways to deduct this hard-earned military salary.

Give his troops the crappiest weapons, the worst quality uniforms, etc.

But at the same time, there are also some guys who want to make achievements and even spend their own money to buy more sophisticated weapons for their subordinates.

In fact, there are more of the latter than the former.

The nobles paid more attention to martial arts.

Martial arts are naturally linked to the property and status of nobles.

A guy who can expand territory abroad can naturally also rob and annex territory abroad.

Compared with the wealth obtained from robbery and land grabs, the small amount of money deducted from military pay is just a drop of money. 160420oshow7:
