This is the most noteworthy matter in the Old World. otbnkotgt It doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter.
Within the empire, there were supporters, sympathizers, and even people who said they wanted to imitate the Visigoths.
However, William felt that these guys had no chance of success in a short time.
Because the conflicts within the Ostrogothic Empire have not accumulated to that extent.
Without sufficient support from the grassroots, it is completely unthinkable to create a decent revolution.
In addition, after the defeat, the Lombards looked even worse.
Some guys took the opportunity to write a letter, hoping that the Russian Gothic Empire of the Hereford family could open a second battlefield.
If we take this opportunity to conquer Lombardy, we will not only be able to expand our territory, but it will also be very useful in military strategy.
The empire's control over the blue sea will reach a new level.
And in terms of nationalism.
Although the Lombards are a little timid, they are still Goths after all.
Bringing them under the control of the empire was also part of the great revival of the Gothic nation.
And then from an industrial and economic perspective.
Although Lombardy has completely lost its status as an industrial and commercial center of the Old World.
But at least the foundation is still there.
After the Russian Gothic Empire successfully annexed Lombardy, it was only natural to resume local light industry and commercial trade.
A large number of industrial workers, a large amount of resources, and ready-made managers and talents will make the Russian Gothic Empire stronger.
This proposal made William somewhat excited.
But after thinking about it for a while, William reluctantly put the proposal aside.
It's a little early, or at the moment, Lombardy is on the political fringe of the Old World.
We are still a little away from the storm that is about to begin in the Old World.
It is even said that when other nobles in the old continent were living in panic, the Lombard people were somewhat gloating about their misfortune, or in a state of drunkenness.
With the white snow of the Alps and their second-to-none reputation, at least they think they are very powerful.
In fact, it is indeed very powerful, but it is not as powerful as they think the Mediterranean Navy is.
The Lombards believed that their defenses were impregnable.
No one can break into the Lombardy Peninsula, not even those crazy guys who call themselves revolutionaries.
However, William understood.
William deeply understood how powerful these Visigoths were.
The fighting power of these guys is unimaginable.
Even the defense of the Lombardy Peninsula was absolutely unable to stop them.
In other words, once the Lombardy Peninsula is obtained, he will soon face his enemies, those bastard revolutionaries.
William will have to face them in advance.
He even spent a lot of effort fighting them, if William didn't want to be disgraced and embarrassed in the Lombardy Peninsula.
Then he'd better not do it.
"That's basically it.
Well, well, well, it's quite interesting to think about the revolutionary thought that has swept the entire old continent.
Will there be any heroes like Napoleon this time?
It's really surprising to think about it.
It's so exciting."
William thought in his heart, feeling not only happy but also happy.
In this way, the news of the old continent has come to an end for the time being.
Next, there is the i thing that is very close at hand and will soon be faced, that is, those bastards, that is Zoroastrian, that is Indy, that is Indy The Nicaea Peninsula is the legendary Land of the Rising Sun.
William wants to bring all of this under his control, conquer everything, and then build a huge empire that is unparalleled in the world.
At that time, William can happily kill whoever he wants, and whoever he wants to die will have to die.

But only if he can conquer it all.
Therefore, for William's great conquest, intelligence work and intelligence analysis are indispensable.
William thought in his heart: "In other words, those guys are very bastards who want to do that."
The first thing that caught his eye was a little person.
Of course, now that he is a little person, he can only be evaluated by a strong person like William.
No one in the local area dared to underestimate him.
Underestimating the Shah of the Afshar Dynasty, Nader Shah, this excellent, outstanding, and powerful warrior, commander and devout Crescent Christian.
This former careerist has achieved his life goals and aspirations, at least in part.
Although he failed to become a great ruler who ruled the world.
Even his Zoroastrian Empire failed to unify the more important and prosperous central and eastern parts of the empire, as well as the empire's most important port, Abadan, and the empire's most important grain-producing area, the Amu Darya River. with the Syr Darya River and the Caspian Sea.
These areas were all controlled by the Russian Gothic Empire.
Although the Zoroastrians and Crescent Christians living in these areas were very unhappy, they had nothing to do.
They simply did not have enough power to deal with a behemoth like the Russian Gothic Empire.
Moreover, in fact not everyone expressed disgust with the rule of the Russian Gothic Empire.
On the contrary, many people find the Russian Gothic Empire's more modern rule, more modern economy, policies and lifestyle very enjoyable.
This lifestyle makes them feel very good.
In particular, the Russian Gothic Empire's policy of suppressing nobles, wealthy businessmen, and large landowners benefited a lot from the middle and lower classes.
These people naturally became supporters of the empire.
For the Zoroastrians, they actually didn't care much about who ruled them.
It has been said before that the historical process of human society.
From primitive tribes to slave city-states, from city-states to feudal kingdoms, from feudal kingdoms to centralized empires, and then to modern countries.
This should be regarded as the most correct route for the development of human society.
But in reality, this development route has certain problems.
Some peoples may have skipped some of the stages and directly transitioned to certain stages, just like these five-to-six people in Europe now.
Their ancestors basically did not experience the era of slave city-states, but directly transitioned from the primitive tribal system to the feudal kingdom.
This was mainly due to the existence of Rome.
These countries were influenced by the system of the Roman Empire, so they transcended this era.
The same goes for the Roman Empire.
He first skipped the feudal kingdom from a slave city-state, and turned into an empire in one breath.
However, for hundreds of years after the establishment of the empire, the Romans still ruled the entire country with the idea of "city-state".
They regarded almost all places outside Rome as a place of exploitation for whatever they wanted.
This situation did not improve even during the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Byzantines used almost all their strength to support the most dazzling eternal city in the West, Constantinople in the Middle Ages.
But almost all of the empire's wealth and power was concentrated there, leaving the frontier provinces barren and powerless.
This top-heavy state has always been a chronic disease of the Roman Empire.
The same problem also occurred with the Persians.
The huge empire of the Persians appeared earlier than the Roman Empire and earlier than the Qin Dynasty.
However, the Persian empire was also not a reasonable country that conformed to the historical cycle.
It is closer to a large Greek because Persia is a combination of city-states and tribes.
A large number of city-states, a large number of provincial governors, and a large number of tribes formed an empire.
They publicly recommended one of the strongest city-states, either Parthia, Sassanid, or something else, to be their leader.
Just like when Xerxes went on his western expedition, the Persian army at that time was bloated and varied.
The soldiers of the Persian Empire who participated in this expedition came from 46 countries and more than 100 ethnic groups that submitted to Persia.
There are Persians and Medes who wear colorful long coats and scaly body armor, and carry short swords and spears; there are Assyrians who wear bronze helmets and hold linen shields and wooden sticks; they use bows, arrows and axes as their main weapons.
There are Parthians and Khwarezmians with weapons; there are Indians in robes; there are people in tight-waisted cloaks with long bows hanging on their right shoulders.

Arabs; there are Ethiopians who wear leopard or lion skins and are dressed in red and white.
Their weapons are palm tree bows, flint arrowheads and antelope and fox skins; they wear bright red cloaks and hold javelins.
Thracians with shields; there are also Caucasian soldiers of various ethnic groups with cow ears on their helmets and holding leather shields and short spears.
The Persian army has such a large number of personnel and such a variety of weapons and equipment, making this army like a grand exhibition of armies and armaments from all ethnic groups.
Although this kind of unified empire of city-states and tribes is huge, its centripetal force is very bad.
Even worse than the centripetal force of the feudal system.
As long as there is a slight disturbance, the city-states and tribes below will fall into chaos, and then abandon their original leaders without hesitation.
Turn to their new boss.
Just like the war between Macedonia and the Persian Empire.
When faced with Alexander's small but capable army, almost all of Persia's allies and military forces were unable to fight.
Their fighting will is even worse than that of the Greek mercenaries.
So, to sum up, there is only one thing that I want to show in the end, and that is that although the Persians established a very, very large empire in ancient times.
Yet these empires were actually patchworked together.
Its degree of centralization is very low.
There is no way to compare it with the centralized empire of ancient China, or even with ancient Rome.
In fact, the only country that has gone through the entire social development cycle is probably China.
The primitive tribes in the Yanhuang period, the tribal alliances of Yao, Shun and Yutang, the slave city-states of the era, the feudalism of the Zhou Dynasty, and then the unified centralization of power in the Qin Dynasty Marx commented that Chinese civilization is a precocious civilization, which is completely true.
China's social development process is incredibly fast.
While the ancestors of European civilization were still immersed in the tribal era, China had already reached a centralized system.
When Europeans entered the feudal era, China's centralized system had become perfect.
It is completely unimaginable that there are such terrible people in this world. 160420oshow7:
