"Oh, victory?
otbnkotgt After learning that his army had won the victory, William was actually not as happy as some people thought.
In other words, for William, it is natural for his own army to win.
If his own army does not win, that is something worth noting.
As for the "victory" that the Britons were trumpeting, in fact the imperial media and propaganda agencies were also trumpeting it.
Although the people of the Russian Gothic Empire were somewhat numb to victory.
However, the situation is different for those guys at the upper level who have more channels.
They know to some extent what happened in the Visigothic Republic, and some aspects of the chaos that occurred in the Visigothic Republic were also vilified by other countries.
Of course, even if they are not vilified, the policies of the Visigothic Republic, including the large number of guillotines, are enough to make people feel scared.
Although, they can constantly comfort themselves by saying that the Russian Gothic Empire is very powerful, very powerful.
There is simply nothing in this world that can defeat the Russian Gothic Empire.
Especially the Army.
However, having never fought against the Visigothic Republic, they were unsure.
After all, these guys don't have a very strong understanding of the military.
As a matter of course, the Russian Gothic Empire would not tell them the composition of its army, weapons and equipment, and training levels.
But it doesn't matter now.
Now you can feel relieved and happy.
The battle was won.
Although it is not a victory for the entire war, more fighting is still needed to "restore order" But at least now, they can rest assured and have a peaceful sleep.
Even William didn't need to be dispatched.
Just three legions could defeat the opponent's dozen legions and 300,000 troops to collapse.
In this case, what else do they have to worry about?
"That's pretty much it.
Although the internal affairs issues are internal affairs.
However, to implement necessary reforms, sufficient military deterrence is still needed."
William thought so in his heart, and at the same time felt a little helpless. resistance.
Yes, although not very big.
However, William still felt huge resistance as he further implemented various reform measures and pushed the empire in the direction of the utopia he desired.
In fact, for the empire's next reform measures.
William had discussed this with his father during his expedition to Indy.
But there is absolutely no way.
Because of the hesitation and slowness of the lower-level bureaucratic class and vested interests.
Of course, it was also because of Prince Otto's own lack of ability.
Therefore, this series of policies failed to be implemented.
First of all, the policy William wanted to implement was to strengthen the central bank and promote paper money.
The former is relatively simple.
Although there are still some small-scale private banks within the empire, they are relatively small.
The empire's coinage power and the empire's state-owned banks still have an absolute advantage.
The key is the latter. banknotes.
The issuance of paper money was the most important of William's recent reforms.
In fact, most of the popular currencies on the market today are imperial-style precious metal currencies.
What William hopes is to collect precious metals, issue banknotes, and make a fortune while continuing to stimulate the empire's economy.
Yes, the current empire has enough markets and resources.
The empire itself had ample conditions.
All that is needed is to constantly replace more powerful engines to make the speed faster.

In addition to issuing banknotes, reforming state-owned enterprises is also an important measure.
In the early days of the empire, or in other words, when the empire was still not called an empire, William's family consortium had incredible wealth and massive resources and factories.
Even now, many key departments in the empire are still controlled by William's family company, which is called the Hereford Group.
It can be said that in the original empire, almost all heavy industries, weapons and equipment, shipbuilding, metal smelting, steelmaking, scientific research, and important differential engine production, etc., belonged to the Hereford family group.
It is even said that the vast majority of workers in the empire work for the Hereford family.
This creates a bit of a difficulty.
In other words, the country’s unclear It would be better if it was in the Middle Ages.
At that time, even if guys brazenly claimed "I am the country" or something like that, no one would try to undermine them.
But things are different here in William.
What William wanted to establish was a nation-state.
That is to say, opening up people’s wisdom, that is to say, the spirit of ownership William could certainly allow his family to continue to rule the country.
However, facts have also proved that the relationship between monarchy and modern countries is hugely contradictory. and the instability of monarchies.
Power, power, power, but otherwise it's still power.
No one wants a horrible guy who rules over them forever.
Therefore, William's strategy is always a constitutional monarchy.
What he expected was the transcendent status of the royal family.
The kind that appears to be out of touch with politics, but actually has enough influence.
If this is the case, you must separate your family business from the country.
Although saying such words makes people feel a little uncomfortable, even painful.
But for the long-term interests of my family, this is also something I have to do.
Of course, this does not mean that William is selfless and simply "nationalizes" and then donates all his family businesses.
Even if William really wanted to do this, his family members, including his father, his aunt, and his two wives would definitely oppose him.
In addition, without the powerful power of the family business Hereford Group, William would be somewhat unable to control the Russian Gothic Empire, a huge monster that is getting bigger and stronger.
So, William’s reforms will be like this First, distinguish the components of the enterprise.
Crucially, such as military scientific research, high-tech research, etc., all technologies in the military field are stripped away and then handed over to the country.
The remaining aspects related to people's livelihood form a new enterprise.
Still owned by the Empire.
Important enterprises related to the national economy and people's livelihood will be split off into state-owned enterprises to enhance the state's control over these aspects.
In the end, it has nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood.
Of course, it is also very profitable and has great potential.
For example, luxury goods, light industry, daily chemicals, etc.
These will remain in the hands of the family business.
However, part of this part of the profit will be used as the third part of the national reform, which is the national welfare part, to take care of all the citizens of the empire.
Yes, the third part of the country's reform is the reform of the national welfare system.
It stipulates maximum working hours, minimum wage standards, social security for pensions and medical care, compulsory education funds, etc.
Of course, because of the current social system and the current economy, although the empire is already one of the most powerful and wealthy countries in the world.
But considering that the population of the empire will grow to 100 million, 200 million, or even more in the future.
Therefore, this part of the expenditure will eventually reach a quite terrifying figure.
Therefore, this part of the reform must be gradual.
Just like the reform of the political part of the fourth part of the empire, even though the emperor of the empire was the greatest ruler in the world, in fact even the Visigoth revolutionaries, although they seemed to have all kinds of disdain for William, were William's various slanders.
Yet deep down, they still admit it.
Yes, that's it.
They also believed that William was the greatest ruler in the world.
Not to mention the empire.
More than ninety-nine percent of the people of the empire crazily worshiped this incredible emperor who was given to them by the Lord of Glory and was so great that it was unimaginable.

The question is, what happens after William dies.
What will become of this great empire?
The vast majority, ninety-nine percent of the people in the empire don't want to think about this issue.
Not only is it a taboo, but it's also a headache.
However, William is not among these, although with enough strength, William's lifespan can be extended to hundreds of years.
However, one day he will die.
Moreover, an emperor who has controlled the empire for hundreds of years and cannot be replaced can also be a trouble, even a disaster, under certain circumstances.
So William's plan is to abdicate at the right time, even though he doesn't have any children yet.
Basically, this is the implementation of banknotes, the Royal Group's state-owned enterprise transformation plan, and further promotion of the democratic process, holding parliamentary elections in various places, and establishing regional parliaments and national parliaments.
This is the national reform that William has focused on during this period.
At the very least, advance the country to a Prussian-style dual monarchy.
Of course, in order to prevent the empire from eventually turning into a paradise for bureaucrats and oligarchs, William would further restrict their powers and responsibilities, further popularize education, enlighten the people's intelligence, and implement a basic social welfare system.
All these actions are complicated and very confusing.
What's even more unpleasant is that not everyone can see the benefits of William's series of reforms.
A very small number of opponents have ulterior motives, but many more are worried and at a loss.
They could not understand William's slightly advanced ideas and thoughts.
So I feel worried and scared.
It is feared that this series of changes will cause turmoil in the country.
I am even more worried that this will make the empire's economy worse.
Beyond that, bureaucrats naturally don't want to spend the state budget on something like social welfare.
Of course, there is another point.
In order to prevent possible party politics in the future, William used national welfare as a bargaining chip to win over voters, and then raised national welfare to an extremely high level to bankrupt the national finances.
The article "the level of national welfare must be determined by the royal family." was written into the constitution.
Although William didn't know whether it would work or how much it would work, it was better than nothing, right?
