"That's pretty much it. otbnkotgt Just like that, the next day, after meeting with his blood sister, Victoria, as usual, and having a scripted and non-nutritious greeting, William began to think about how to get this guy to agree to become a Russian brother.
Vassals of the special empire.
In other words, he needed more of their surrender and even said that, if possible, William expected them to abandon the Britons and become aristocratic vassals of the Russian Gothic Empire.
Of course, William was not stupid enough to speak out about this problem directly.
But a test.
He first explored the same issue as the current progress of negotiations.
That is to say, he is now the emperor of the empire.
In other words, the nobles of the Ostrogothic Empire have become his vassals.
Of course, this is only theoretically true. things.
Even William hasn't been crowned yet.
However, considering the strength of the Russian Gothic Empire and William's own ability, this is only a matter of time.
It was through this topic that William began to test Victoria.
"Since they are all my vassals, then I will adopt some strategies against them, and they will swear allegiance to me and be responsible to me.
The Kingdom of Briton should have no objection to this series of principled issues," William asked. road.
"Well, yes, of course I have no objection."
Although she felt a little unhappy in her heart, after all, running the Ostrogothic Empire was once something Victoria was proud of.
But, as said before, situations are stronger than people.
No matter how unhappy Victoria was, she could not stop William from running the Ostrogothic Empire.
Especially when he has the righteousness and title of the emperor of the empire.
In this case, Victoria could only say this.
Of course, maybe it's out of pride, or maybe it's for other reasons.
After saying this, she added: "Of course, Briton has special interests in the Ostrogothic Empire.
So we pay close attention to any political changes, economic changes and other changes in the Ostrogothic Empire. .
I would expect your country to proceed with caution if the Empire wishes to maintain its relations with Briton.
And while making major decisions, he can take care of the interests of Britons and inform the Britons Kingdom. " "That's natural."
Although what Victoria said made William feel uncomfortable.
But he also understood that Victoria was just being tough now.
It's just a couple of words in a scene.
The meaning is almost the same as saying "I will come back again" when the villain is beaten away and turned into a star.
No one can take it seriously.
If it were a bit more sarcastic, it wouldn't be impossible to take this sentence as a joke.
"So."
In this way, William's first temptation ended with the result that he had not expected.
Next, William asked: "So how should the problem of Frisia be solved?"
Having said this, Victoria frowned slightly.
Now, with Lotharnia being occupied by the Visigothic Republic, the Briton Kingdom has the only stable foothold in the Old Continent, and it has sufficient interests and economy.
The foothold is Frisia.
For the continental Victoria, Frisia is their last face, and it can even be said to be the bottom line.
Victoria would not betray Frisia to William no matter what.
Unless, William can offer a higher price, and this price and compensation must be in the Old World.
And it must be related to the Ostrogothic Empire.
Of course, speaking of it, this seems to be Victoria's wishful thinking.
Even an idiot knows the importance of the Ostrogothic Empire, and William may compensate the Britons from other parts of the Old World.
However, the possibility and expectations of territorial exchange within the empire are very low.
For William, this may also be the bottom line.

In any case, one of the first prerequisites for the establishment of a new Gothic Empire was the ability to inherit, at least most of, the inherited territories.
Of course, in most or all of this, the territory of the Ostrogothic Empire can be called a hard indicator.
This was one of the reasons why His Majesty the Emperor, who almost became William's cheap grandfather, was regarded as a very good emperor who was widely expected.
If we talk about the territory at that time, the economic strength at that time, population, industrial and agricultural hard indicators, etc., the Russian Gothic Empire had already surpassed the Ostrogothic Empire.
However, that emperor is still regarded as a great emperor who surpassed the Russian Gothic Empire.
It was even said that this was the case for a long time after the emperor was defeated.
It was not until the empire conducted two rounds of expeditions under the leadership of William and completely conquered the Dark Elf Ottoman Empire, known as the enemy of mankind, that this statement was gradually replaced by the statement that William was wise and powerful and the Russian Gothic Empire was invincible.
From this we can see the legitimacy and the importance of the core territory of the empire, that is, the Ostrogothic Empire.
"I hope that Frisia can maintain the status quo.
After all, the current situation in Frisia is complicated.
So, I think no, it should be said that the Kingdom of Briton believes that maintaining the status quo in Frisia is the best way.
"The duchess, whose prestige, strength, and even mind are not as good as before, said calmly.
"Maintaining the status quo in Frisia is not something that is non-negotiable."
After Victoria said this, she originally thought that William would refuse, and even said that William might be angry.
She had already thought about it and was ready to face the wrath of the most terrifying ruler in the world.
However, under this situation, William actually said that this matter could be discussed.
Victoria was in a daze for a moment, and even doubted whether she heard it wrong.
After all, Frisia was an important part of the Ostrogothic Empire, and the Ostrogothic Empire was an important part of the Classical Gothic Empire.
For the emperor who was determined to restore the glory of the Gothic Empire, Frisia should be his bottom line.
Looking at Victoria, who looked surprised and seemed to be thinking desperately, but couldn't figure it out no matter what, William chuckled lightly, and then said: "Well, let's not talk about this matter for now, I have another thing to discuss with you.
You should know that in the current Ostrogothic Empire, there are some nobles who were loyal to Briton."
Victoria was a little surprised to hear William say this and change the topic so easily.
She instinctively felt that William would not give up so easily, and the topic William was throwing out now should be quite important.
There must be some kind of connection between the two, but she couldn't think of it anyway.
Well, yes, I wanted to Not coming out.
Recently, Victoria has been too tired, too tired, and at the same time, she has been hit too hard.
So much so that she felt unconfident about herself.
"Ah, um, yes.
That's it."
While thinking, Victoria responded vaguely and sincerely.
Although she also knew that this was a sign of disrespect for William, she couldn't care less about it now.
"Then, after I became the emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire, of course, these people became my vassals.
So will they obey my orders or the orders of Britons?"
""Although this question also made Victoria feel uncomfortable.
But, in the end, she answered William's question.
And her answer was, of course, just as William thought, an answer that was beneficial to William.
"Although they still had some identity issues before this.
But at least now I can give you a clear answer."
Although she is very reluctant, Victoria also understands that in this case, it is useless even if she is unwilling.
Although she went on to say that the kingdom has special interests here, the kingdom is very concerned about the development of the situation here.
If anything, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the kingdom in this area, maintain order, and so on and so on.
However, there is no strength, not enough strength, so these words can be said to be completely meaningless to William.
Well, yeah, it makes absolutely no sense.
So in this situation, William felt that he just had to smile.
Because in any case, Victoria answered a crucial question, that is, these territories now belong to William, although many are still in a semi-independent state, and many are occupied by the Visigoths.

But at least in name, William was the emperor of the empire, and they were the vassals of the empire.
This is very important, yes, very important, very important.
Since this can be applied to those guys, then of course it can also be applied to the Normandy family.
Nowadays, the traditional fiefdom of the Normandy family, that is, the Duke of Normandy, has fallen into the hands of the Visigoths.
Of course, the same goes for the other two traditional fiefdoms, the Duke of Brittany and the Duke of Aquitaine.
The Normandy family lost these three fundamental lands.
Now he is seeking one thing, which is to bring Frisia under his control and become the legal ruler of the Kingdom of Frisia.
Of course this is a little difficult, it should be said to be very difficult.
The first reason is their aristocratic status.
Although the Britons have ruled Frisia for a long time, Frisia is ultimately a country where the Goths are the main nation.
At this point, it was very difficult for the untitled Britons to rule the country.
In addition, there is another problem, that is, the status of Frisia is a "kingdom", that is to say, if the Normandy family obtains the right to rule Frisia, then they need to call themselves the king of Frisia.
If they do not If they still use the title of Duke to call themselves this way, then they Britons will become a joke to the nobles of the upper class.
For nobles, etiquette is the most important thing.
Especially in matters related to noble title and noble rank, any slight changes or inappropriateness are considered to be major events that shake the foundation.
If the Normandy family still wants to be in the aristocratic circle, or should I say, hang out in the upper class society of the Old World, they cannot do this.
But if they really call themselves kings, then there is another problem, that is, their current suzerain, Queen Britton, only has the title of "kingdom".
Naturally, a king cannot become a vassal of another king.
In this way, the Normandy family, whether voluntarily or forced, had to become independent from the Kingdom of Briton.
However, their original roots and foundation were in Briton.
So it's simply impossible to do this.
In fact, it is precisely because of this and a series of reasons that the British continental faction controlled many territories during its heyday, many of which were large kingdom-level territories.
However, as the leader of the Continentalists, the Normandy family never managed these territories as their own private property.
On the one hand, the Normandy family certainly does not have enough strength.
At the same time, they are worried that such behavior will arouse the suspicion of other factions in the country.
Another reason is also the issue of status.
"So, if the Normandy family can become my vassal, then the matter will be solved.
I am the emperor and a continental overlord with two emperor titles.
It is not a big deal to have a king under me.
As long as the Normandy family can If they surrender to the empire, then what if a mere Frisia is entrusted to them?
In this way, both parties will be happy, isn't it great?"
William thought in his heart, adding another reason to persuade the Normandy family to join the empire. 160420oshow7:
