"With over half a million troops, Indy is truly a magical place. otbnkotgt After summarizing all the information, William came to the conclusion that Victoria's army was likely to exceed half a million In fact, even so, Victoria does not have the largest number of troops in Indy.
Both Nader Shah and the Maharaja of Punjab had more than one hundred thousand troops under their command.
In the south, the Maratha Federation has a large number of soldiers and even claims to have an army of more than one million.
Even the Mughal Empire, which seems to be in decline now, has rebounded when it is facing the crisis of national annihilation.
The Mughals formed a mixed army of infantry, cavalry and artillery using muskets, with the Qizilbash as the main force.
This army is probably around two to three legions.
The strength is said to be quite strong.
When facing the Sikhs in Punjab and Nadir Shah's army, the Mughal Empire relied on such an army to resist stubbornly, repelling several enemy attacks, and successfully defended Delhi. and the large and wealthy territories surrounding Delhi.
Therefore, although the Mughal Empire now looks like it is declining, its territory has shrunk by nearly two-thirds.
However, in terms of absolute strength, the Mughal Empire was still one of the most powerful forces on the subcontinent.
It would be difficult for any one force to fight against the Mughal Empire alone.
Even those with slightly smaller powers, such as Lord Ranjit and Nadir Shah, still need to form an alliance and join forces to fight against him in order to win.
"So, the current situation is really chaotic."
William thought in his heart that his other strategy now is to directly attack all the forces of Victoria United in the South Asian subcontinent, including the Maratha Federation.
Everyone, including the Mughal Empire, formed a coalition to drive away all these Britons and annex their colonies.
This strategy had advantages and disadvantages compared to the previous strategy of attacking the Marathas.
The disadvantages are obvious.
Victoria, with an army of half a million, can be said to be powerful with many soldiers and generals.
Although the territory and resources are slightly inferior, the combat effectiveness is definitely the best in Indy.
Nowadays, in fact, whether it is the Marathas, Mughals, Punjabi Sikhs or Afshars, these guys are all somewhat afraid of the increasingly powerful Britons, whose combat power is almost unmatched.
In fact, even William himself was somewhat murmuring in his heart.
The expeditionary force under his command consisted of five legions and a hundred thousand troops.
The reinforcements came over land, as well as the four newly formed cavalry regiments.
Including the servant army, the number will not exceed 200,000.
If we use such an army to fight against the opponent's army of 500,000 in a one-on-one battle, the chances of winning may not be high.
To say the least, even if you win, the result is likely to be a miserable defeat.
William, who has lost too much strength, will conquer and rule Indy next.
It is very difficult to think about it.
So we can only rely on the alliance.
William's strategy was to form a broad coalition against Briton.
But there is another problem here.
As mentioned before, the Britons are very powerful.
This can indeed bring certain conveniences and prerequisites for alliances between countries.
But at the same time, this may also lead to these countries not wanting to, or dare not, fight each other and start a war.
In this case, whether an alliance can be formed and then defeat the Britons is really a big question.
Even if an alliance is formed, who has the final say?
What about the subsequent unified command and unified dispatch of the army?
There are too many enemies in this preset alliance, even feuds.
How to coordinate their relationship is also a very important issue.
If this series of problems are not properly resolved and coordinated, even if an alliance is established, it may not be able to defeat the other party.
Even if an alliance is established to hold each other back, the fighting efficiency is not as good as that of each family fighting Victoria alone.
Even taking a step back, William really established a strong alliance and then fought tooth and nail with Victoria.
And he even won.
So what should be done next to divide the spoils and the territory?
One of the previous strategies was that William attacked Maratha alone, so the spoils of the captured territory would naturally belong to William.

But things are different now.
Now it's an alliance.
If the spoils were divided, William would definitely not get much.
No matter what, it's not as pleasant as eating alone.
"If you think about it, this strategy is really useless."
William thought in his heart, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
Of course I'm not saying it's useless, of course I'm just saying it casually.
William knew exactly what the benefits of this strategy were.
The advantage of this is that he can eliminate his biggest and most dangerous opponent in the first time.
Without the Britons, victory would of course go to William von Hereford, and to the Russian Gothic Empire.
Next, no matter whether it is the Mughals, Marathas, Sikhs or Afshars, there is no way to stop the Russian Gothic Empire's expeditionary force.
"Yes, that's it.
However, it is still true" William was in a dilemma.
The pros and cons of both strategies are easy to see.
The former is simple and rewarding.
But as William attacked the Maratha, it was natural that the Britons would also expand.
If Victoria took this opportunity to desperately attack the Mughals, it would probably lead to this ending.
That is, William annexed the Maratha and occupied the southern part of India.
Victoria defeated the Mughals and ruled the northern part of India, which was vaster, richer, and had more resources and population than the south.
This is something William does not want to accept no matter what.
Because, once that happens, the chance of defeating Victoria will drop a lot.
It's sad.
It's really sad when you think about it.
But if you concentrate your efforts on attacking the opponent, the possibility of success is not very good.
William thought in his heart, thinking hard, thinking hard, thinking hard.
In the end, I still felt it wasn’t quite right.
Neither the first nor the second strategy is very good.
In this case, William thought for a while and finally came up with another tactic, which was to put aside the two preset strategies and find a third strategy.
"In other words, if two tactics are carried out at the same time, will it be successful?"
William thought: "If we send a small army and then attack the Maratha, we can contain Victoria at the same time, so that guy does not have enough energy to attack the Mughals.
Um" William thought about it again, but felt that it was impossible.
Because it is not easy to distribute.
If you are the one to contain the opponent, then you can probably do it, but who will attack Maratha?
Although Maratha looks very weak, there are still millions of troops.
A million troops, a million troops.
If it weren't for a guy with a great mind and tactical ability like Alexander the Great, it would probably fail.
But if the guy who attacks Maratha is himself, who can stop Victoria?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I have a headache just thinking about it.
I feel like I have a headache just thinking about it.
So, after having such a headache for a long time, William thought of another strategy: Since attacking the two most powerful countries on the subcontinent at the same time, this tactic is unlikely to succeed, then change it.
The attack is not too big.
A strong country is good
"Use the four cavalry legions on land, plus the servant troops recruited locally in Zoroastrian, to attack Afghanistan and Baluchistan."
William thought this way: "Defeat the Kingdom of Afshar, then attack Punjab, and annexation of sikh empire In this way, even if the other party really defeats the Mughal Empire and annexes the Mughal Empire, then I, who owns the Maratha, Punjab, and Afshar regions, will be able to maintain my position."
Well, well, well, well, that's it, that's it.

William felt very happy and excited after thinking of a perfect solution.
As long as you use such tactics, you will be invincible.
William thought so in his heart.
Yes, his chances of winning are not very high now.
The strength is not strong enough.
In this case, what you should do is not to challenge the final boss in one go and then hit your head with blood, but to pay attention to strategy and accumulate strength first.
William is very confident about this.
As long as he has the same strength as the opponent, he will be the one to win in the end.
"Then it was decided to attack the Afshar Kingdom first, and then Punjab."
William thought in his heart: "After destroying these two countries, support the Mughals and let the Mughals resist Victoria for a while longer, so that I can take advantage of this time to attack the Marathas." tower."
In this way, William came up with the most extensive and simple plan to attack and annex the subcontinent.
Of course, this is just a draft, a plan, a plan that aybe will execute, and is the most likely plan for William to succeed.
Just like all plans, after they are actually implemented, they will definitely face various problems of one kind or another, and they may even find that there is no way to implement them at all.
However, it doesn't matter even if this is the case, having a plan is better than having no plan.
Just like writing a book, having an outline is better than not having an outline.
In the specific implementation process, there will definitely be various problems of this kind, but William is not afraid.
He firmly believes that he will be the one to win in the end. 160420oshow7:
