Count of Wizards

This absurd plan, which now seems to sell territorial sovereignty and can be called a national traitor, caused a sensation among the upper echelons of the empire at that time. It has been approved by more than 70% of the imperial generals!

Knowing that Emperor Raul was a time traveler like himself, Connor had carefully studied the history of that period, coupled with the rich historical materials of that period, so this made Connor have a good understanding of how the "Rhine Project" could be so popular for a while. own guess

At that time, the new type of army established by Emperor Raul had just swept across the Odin tribe on the Odin Ice Field, but because the Kamans could not adapt to the harsh natural environment on the Odin Ice Field, the Kaman Empire’s army could not survive at all. It cannot be stationed there for a long time, so even if the Odins are defeated, the troops of the Kaman Empire will withdraw to the mainland and station on the border.

The Odin people, who were dizzy by Emperor Raul's new army, felt the crisis for the first time. They quickly abandoned the organizational form of the tribe. After some bloody internal integration of the race, they followed the example of the Kaman Empire and established The Odin Empire, however, is different from the current similar constitutional monarchy of the Kaman Empire, the Odin Empire is more like a centralized monarchy, and the entire country is decided by the emperor alone.

The Kingdom of Persis is a kingdom that integrates politics and religion. It is called the Kingdom but has no king. Instead, it follows the example of the Kingdom of Kaman and sets up a prime minister who is in charge of national administrative power and is directly responsible to the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Persis, the Pope.

The Odin Empire and the Kingdom of Persis both had their own internal problems when the Rhine Project was proposed. The Odin Empire had just progressed from a tribe to a centralized power, and various internal problems appeared. In the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, it was because the old pope was running out of time, and the new pope could not be established for a long time. Regarding the issue of succession to the pope, internal faction crushing was also a mess.

Connor believed that it was this external situation that led Lineker, then Minister of Military Affairs of the Kaman Empire, to propose a crazy plan to sell the sovereignty of the disputed border area to reach a peace treaty, then leave the border undefended, and conquer the continent of Hoi with all his strength! ,

In Lineker's plan, once his "Rhine Project" is successful, with the support of the resources of the Hoy Continent, the Kaman Empire may reach the height of the ancient Byzantine Empire... However, it is a pity that, Lineker and his "Rhine Project" were directly rejected by his emperor, Emperor Raul.

As for the reason why Emperor Raul vetoed the "Rhine Project", historians have many speculations. Among them, the more authoritative one is that although the ships at that time had been developed into steam power, they were still relatively primitive steam power. It takes at least a year to sail by boat between the mainland of the Man Empire, and the Ocean of Storms between the two is in a once-in-a-hundred-year period of instability. There are large-scale storms on the sea every three days. Starting from the mainland, after a year of sailing, how many people will be left in the New World? Even the most optimistic person thinks that the answer is only half!

And the most important thing is that even after arriving in the New World, no one knows the answer to what kind of combat effectiveness the army can maintain after a year of voyage by the remaining people.

After negating Lineker's "Rhine Plan", Emperor Raul came up with his own Hoy strategy. His meaning was very simple. The Imperial ZF did not directly lead, but encouraged the organization of civilian forces to go to the Hoy continent to conduct business activities, selling the excess industrial products produced by the Kaman Empire to the Huoyi Continent, and transporting the raw materials produced in the Huoyi Continent back to the Kaman Empire, forming a virtuous circle.

Emperor Raul organized the major chambers of commerce and nobles in the empire at that time, and jointly established a company to manage Hoy. Because the navigators of the Kaman Empire discovered the east of the Hoy continent, this company was called Becoming the "East Hoy Company" Since then, East Hoy Company has become the representative of the Kaman Empire's interests in the New World. From the very beginning of the company's establishment, it has been a tool for careerists!

In the early days of the establishment of the East Hoy Company, because the shipping industry and shipping tools of the empire were developing very slowly, shipping from the Kaman Empire to the Hoy Continent was very risky and the transportation was inconvenient, so even if the East Hoy Company wanted to directly intervene The rule of the local Hoi people, but it is impossible to do it at all. It can only support the Hoi tribe by providing arms, medicines, etc. to let them kill each other. On the one hand, they have obtained huge economic benefits. The hatred among the Hoyren tribes made it impossible for them to unite. This laid a solid foundation for East Hoy to realize its ambition.

Eighty years ago, technological changes changed the fate of the Hoi people. With the great progress made in the study of imperial steam engine power, all walks of life in the Kaman Empire were greatly affected, and the shipping industry was the first to bear the brunt. After the technological transformation, the speed and stability of all shipping tools have been greatly improved, which directly led to a significant reduction in the shipping time from the Kaman Empire to the Hoi Continent, from one year to three months. And not only that, the stability and safety of the ship have also been greatly improved, and it is basically difficult for ordinary storms on the vast storm ocean to shake the ship.

The shortening of the shipping time and the improvement of safety from the mainland of the empire to the Hoy Continent undoubtedly made more and more people more and more interested in exploring the Hoy Continent. The increasingly difficult social background also promoted the colonization of the Kaman Empire to the New World.

The East Hoy Company, which has accumulated countless wealth in the trade between the Hoy Continent and the Kaman Empire, is the biggest beneficiary of this wave of colonization. They provide Favorable conditions allowed them to come to the Hoy Continent and provided them with the platform of East Hoy Company, and they gave full play to their talents. In less than ten years, the strength of East Hoy Company has grown tremendously , Donghoy Company has changed from a businessman role in the Hoyland to a giant somewhere!

The East Hoy Company, whose strength has been greatly increased, began to show the Hoy people their long-hidden fangs. They were no longer satisfied with purchasing raw materials from the local Hoy people, but directly began to rely on their own weapons. With huge advantages, they started to take action to conquer the continent of Huoyi
