The Ottoman Empire's army just disappeared. otbnkotgt The Ottoman Empire's loss of troops would reach or even exceed 400,000.
This shortfall of 400,000 people cannot be made up in a day or two.
In other words, for a long period of time, the Ottoman Empire will be in a vacuum and they will have no national defense.
There is no army stationed in this huge territory.
Not a single Dark Elf flag could be found for thousands of kilometers.
When the remnants of the Fatimid army were defeated and fled to Anatolia and spread the news of their defeat, the entire Ottoman Empire went through a period of confusion and then fell into the most violent chaos.
Some local officials and governors instinctively wanted to cover up the facts.
But the news spread really fast.
At the same time, William's Cheka agents were also indispensable for fueling the flames.
Efforts to suppress the news were ineffective.
Soon, the entire empire was in turmoil.
Everyone believed that the Ottoman Empire was doomed this time.
William von Hereford.
Once again, facts have been used to declare that he is the best general and the best commander in the world.
This is not true, or it is not "reason" but "truth".
Even the guy who has the most contempt, contempt and hostility towards William has to admit at this moment that this guy who is under thirty years old and can still be called a young man is the best in the world.
Unparalleled existence.
Originally, there were still some disputes in this world.
For example, who thought so and so was stronger than William, and whose commanding ability was better than William.
William was definitely not as good at fighting as so and so.
However, after William defeated the Ottoman Empire and the Dark Elf's 200,000-strong army, all these claims disappeared in an instant.
That is not some scum, not some weakling, but a dark elf, the enemy of mankind.
A super-powerful being who claims that one country can rival the entire Old World.
Although, in fact, after the industrial revolution and various reforms, the strength of the dark elves is not that high.
But messages are delayed.
Except for a few smart people and leaders of important countries, the vast majority of people don't know about this kind of thing.
The vast majority of civilians actually regard the Ottoman Empire and the Dark Elves as the terrifyingly powerful one hundreds of years ago.
A terrifying monster that requires all humans to concentrate their efforts and attack together to win.
Think about it, William and his army were able to defeat such a terrifying monster.
So what does that mean.
Naturally, it means that William is a super monster that is even more monster than a monster.
Is the most powerful in this world.
This is true for both himself and his empire.
Thinking like this, people will naturally be afraid and fearful, or have vague expectations for William.
Talking about fear and fear mainly refers to those enemies of William.
Visigoths, Asturians, and of course the most important thing is the Britons because the Britons have the most resources.
Moreover, there is the greatest conflict of interest with the Hereford family and the Russian Gothic Empire.
At the same time, war is most likely to break out.
The people who have expectations for William are naturally the Goths who are currently under the control and rule of the Britons.
That is, the entire Ostrogothic Empire.
Although there is currently no clear definition and broad audience.
But the embryonic form of nationalism and nationalism has indeed emerged.
And it will gradually increase over time.
This made it more difficult for the Britons to control, or rule, the Ostrogothic Empire.
After all, they were not Goths and even said that the Ostrogoths could accept the rule and even slavery of the Visigoths.

After all, they are the same nation as ours, at least they used to be.
The blood, culture, and history of both sides are very close.
Although within hundreds of years, the national nature of the two Gothic peoples, the East and the West, have undergone different changes.
It has become more or less different.
But as long as someone can persuade me well, there's no problem at all.
The differences and gaps between the Eastern and Western Goths will never be much greater than the gap between southerners and northerners in William's previous life.
It would be better if the Asturians or even the Lombards controlled the Ostrogoths.
Because they still recognize that they are a branch of the Gothic Empire, and they still recognize their identity as Goths.
Only the Britons were not like this.
Only the Britons believed that they were not Goths.
Although in fact they are not much different from the Goths in blood.
Even culturally they can barely be classified into the same category.
But the Britons, who thought they were different, still did not think, or rather disdained, to recognize these guys as relatives.
This uncooperative attitude naturally aroused resentment among the Ostrogoths.
It stands to reason that the Ostrogoths did not agree with the rule of these Britons.
So in many cases, a sense of identity is very important.
Especially when both parties have to live in the same world.
These Ostrogoths themselves had no strength to oppose the Britons.
Although the Britons enslaved them, the Britons divided the empire, and the Britons were not even allowed to have an emperor.
But they still had no power.
Without power nothing can be accomplished.
So they pinned all their hopes on the Hereford family, the new Gothic Empire, the Russian Gothic Empire.
Hope to get help from the Russian Gothic Empire.
Especially since the empire had just defeated such a powerful enemy.
William did not defend himself against outsiders' speculation and disgust, and he did not respond at all to other people's expectations.
In fact, William had too many things to do at this moment.
Hiding to the point where he didn't even want to, nor was he willing to respond to those messy things.
First, he had to advance as quickly as possible into Constantinople.
At the same time, he also wanted to issue a statement that the Hereford family and the Russian Gothic Empire's half a million troops were of course an imaginary number and would support Fatima to continue to serve as the sultan of the empire.
Anyone who is not Fatimid and Fatimid's legal heir claims to be the Sultan of the Empire and the ruler of the Empire is wrong and illegal.
It will inevitably encounter opposition and resistance from the Sultan and his great allies.
At the same time, William also announced that he would treat the female sultan as an alliance.
The two sides will form a comprehensive strategic alliance.
In order to help Fatima and to help the Ottoman Empire become more civilized, the Ottoman Empire will fully dispatch consultants into various government departments, armies, and factories of the Ottoman Empire to provide guidance and assistance.
At the same time, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Gothic Empire would open their borders and ports to each other.
Residents and troops of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Gothic Empire could travel freely within each other's territory.
At the same time, neither party will impose any tariffs when trading goods between the two parties.
The two sides will form such a customs union.
Then there is the covenant.
That is to say, it stands to reason that when any country declares war on one of them, or one of them declares war on any country, the other empire will declare war on a certain country unconditionally.
It can be said that after signing this treaty, the Ottoman Empire will completely lose its existence as a member of an independent country and become a vassal state of the Hereford family and the Russian Gothic Empire.
These treaties seem fair.
But in fact there is absolutely no fairness at all.
Because the exports of the Ottoman Empire, which had backward industrial production capacity, were definitely smaller than those of the Russian Gothic Empire.
In this case, the two sides exempted each other from tariffs.

The result was that the Ottoman Empire's backward industrial and commercial system was quickly overwhelmed and turned into a dumping market for the Russian Gothic Empire's goods.
Of course, William will not completely forget these places.
The Ottoman Empire also had its advantages.
Whether it is breeding or planting.
Whether it is fishery or low-end production and processing, labor-intensive industries.
The Ottoman Empire can develop.
William's ultimate goal was to transform the Ottoman Empire into one with little or no heavy industry.
The dominant industries are breeding and planting, and there are also large-scale light industries.
The reason why they do this is because William's imperial industry needs more industrial people, more, more, more despite having a population of about 20 million.
However, William, who was vigorously developing industry, still felt the existence of a manpower gap.
In this case, William could only endure the pain and temporarily turn part of the agricultural population into industry.
In fact, in recent times, agriculture, the original dominant pillar of the Russian Gothic Empire, has retreated instead of advancing.
The export share of agricultural products gradually decreased.
Mainly because recently, the war in the Ostrogothic Empire has subsided and production has resumed.
Therefore, the demand for food and agricultural products in the international market has decreased.
So I can't see this yet.
Otherwise, without the huge and advanced agricultural and animal husbandry production system of the Russian Gothic Empire, the entire old world would fall into a food crisis.
William was still thinking about whether to further reduce the number of agricultural personnel.
After all, with the advancement of the chemical industry in recent times, the cost of synthetic ammonia and synthetic fertilizers has decreased, and large-scale popularization of chemical fertilizers is no longer a dream.
The advancement of science and technology has increased agricultural production, making it unnecessary and unnecessary to preserve so many agricultural people.
William still felt that he could not make up his mind.
Until now, he owned the second best agricultural product production place in the world.
