That's pretty much it. otbnkotgt When the emperor of the empire appears, when the emperor is able to integrate all the power.
When the great emperor unified all Visigoths, any enemy, opponent, or opponent was silenced.
Unable to resist, unstoppable.
This is the so-called general trend.
It's like a wave.
No matter how outstanding or powerful a person is, they will be shot to pieces in the face of the tide of the times.
Just like Leopold.
And when the Visigoths were finally breached.
After the Republic fell and was split into more than a dozen regions, and then merged into the Empire, the next people to stand in the way of the tide of the times became the Britons.
In fact, there were originally supposed to be Asturians.
However, these men had been maimed in the previous Visigothic War.
Now we don't want to start any more wars at all.
After the destruction of the Visigoths, the Asturians completely ignored the Briton envoy's strategy of attacking from the north and the south together, defeating the Goths, and then restoring the Visigoths.
An envoy was sent directly, hoping to join the empire as a vassal state.
William thought for a while and finally felt that he should agree to the Asturian's request.
On the one hand, these Asturians have little luck.
In fact, these guys are not very capable of working and developing the country.
Just look at how idiotic these guys are if you look at how they owned the largest amount of precious metals in the world hundreds of years ago, but ended up causing their own country's economy to collapse.
William once thought that if he owned Asturias in its heyday, he would be able to do more.
First, banknotes were issued based on huge reserves of gold and silver.
Then pushing the paper money to foreign countries to make money and achieve financial control is a very pleasant tactic.
Of course, it’s just a thought.
Even on the edge of the most dangerous and remote Old World civilization.
Didn't he win in the end?
In addition, there are some subtle racial differences between the Asturians and the Goths.
Although the Asturians can technically be considered a branch of the Goths.
However, due to regional barriers and the inability to communicate with the outside world due to the closed terrain of the peninsula, the Goths and Classical Goths on this peninsula had already become another nation hundreds of years ago.
Even these guys still think they are the heirs of the great classical Gothic empire.
But it was already difficult for them to become Goths again.
Under such circumstances, if Asturias is forcibly annexed, it will leave very serious consequences.
In contrast, William decided to use another gentler and more tolerant method to bring the country under his control.
That is to say, annexation in the form of alliances and vassal states.
When the number of economic and cultural exchanges between the two sides increases, we can control them economically, suppress them culturally, and even annex them.
In this way, within a few decades, they will become their own vassals.
And in a few hundred years, they will most likely become a province of the empire like many vassal states in the classical Gothic Empire.
Although today, when nationalism and nationalism are prevalent, these things will become somewhat difficult.
But it doesn’t matter.
Well, yeah, it doesn't matter.
It really doesn't matter.
After all, the population base of both parties is here.
At the same time, the national strength of both sides lies here.
Next to it, across a mountain range, is the most powerful country in the world, which occupies almost all territory in the known world.
If you look at your own country in comparison, everyone will be disappointed, even desperate, and will feel dissatisfied.
Under such circumstances, it couldn’t be easier for countries that want to promote imperial doctrine, want to cultivate imperial propagandists, and want to manipulate each other.
It's as simple as grabbing a child's lollipop.

At least that's what William thought.
That's it, Asturias will be a diplomatic issue.
As a result, the empire had only one opponent left to deal with in the known world.
That is Briton.
This isolated island country looks so lonely and helpless now.
It looked weathered and about to die.
Although the Gothic Empire's army has not yet landed a single soldier.
But even so, these Britons almost scared themselves to death.
The most powerful army in the world, the most powerful empire in the world, and the greatest emperor in the world.
How could they, the weak Britons, be opponents of such a powerful enemy?
Just thinking about it makes me think it's impossible, right?
It's completely impossible.
Therefore, these guys completely lost their will to fight after being defeated in the naval battle.
And when they heard that William's coronation as emperor of the empire meant that he unified the entire Goths, they naturally didn't want to fight.
Although no one has ever deliberately promoted it.
No, someone actually said that.
Well, actually there are many people, many, many people who believe that Goth symbolizes orthodoxy.
That is the orthodoxy of this world.
The ruler of the Old World, the legitimate ruler.
Whoever succeeds Goth can rule the world.
At the same time and in the same era, there was no greater, more powerful nation than the Goths.
Or to put it simply, no country could defeat the Goths.
What's more, this emerging empire has already shown how terrifying it is.
By defeating an army of half a million men and the former world's largest naval fleet.
In this case no Briton was foolish enough to oppose them.
Since there is no way to fight them, there is only one way left.
That is, surrender.
No, I mean negotiation.
Speaking of letting the evil fleet attack and breaking the alliance, it was just something a small group of evil Brython traitors did, intending to destroy the relationship between the empire and the Brython.
We cannot be fooled.
After all, the friendship between Britons and the Empire was ancient.
We have been allies for decades.
Our economies are very complementary.
Do you still remember those happy good days we had before?
We cooperated with each other and then wiped out all the enemies.
We are a perfect match, partners.
So for now, let's forget about the little unpleasantness of the past.
Keep looking forward.
How about this?
Well, yes, how about this?
Naturally, William refused.
There is absolutely no need for a second world-class country in this world, even if this country only has the small Britannia Islands on its mainland, and the interests of its overseas colonies have been encroached upon by the empire.
That was the second month after he was crowned Gothic Emperor.
Imperial troops landed on the Brittany Islands.
The final war to unify the world is about to begin. 160420oshow7:
