Although in the earlier period, Alnwick Castle by the Industrial Revolution gene, researches and develops Steam Engine, has had certain superiority, under big background that but in the global technology expands, such superiority cannot establish the hegemony. 但是在游戏世界,盖亚对人口大国跟疆域大国,是有一定偏爱的。虽然在前期,艾维克堡凭借工业革命的基因,率先研发出蒸汽机,取得过一定优势,但在全球技术扩张的大背景下,这样的优势并不能确立霸权。 Especially in the global maritime hegemony by the situation of Great Xia control, Gondor King Dynasty did not have achievement really firmly. Because is the island country, is far away from the Continent of Europe native place, even missed has embezzled the grand feast of Europe small country. 尤其是在全球海上霸权被大夏牢牢掌控的情况下,钢铎王朝就更无甚作为。因为是岛国,远离欧洲大陆本土,甚至错过了侵吞欧洲小国的盛宴。 In Europe six big King Dynasty, the Gondor King Dynasty ratio has only resulted in Gaul King Dynasty, is existence of setting the base. Once the magnificent date did not fall Empire, now can only withdraw on the native island, barely managed to maintain a feeble existence. 在欧洲六大王朝中,钢铎王朝只比得过高卢王朝,属于垫底的存在。曾经辉煌的日不落帝国,现在只能龟缩在本土岛上,苟延残喘。 Such result, is not certainly able to make William be satisfactory. 这样的结果,当然无法让威廉满意。 But the reality is such brutal. 可现实就是这么残酷。 „Or, with Spain or Gaul establish Coalition Forces, altogether attacks Nigeria?” Annie suggested. “要不,跟西班牙或者高卢组建联军,一共攻打尼日利亚？”安妮建议。 William shakes the head firmly, „do not visit us is Faction, but they do not see the rabbit not to scatter the hawk the Lord, wants establish Coalition Forces, how can this cake divide?” 威廉坚决摇头,“别看我们同属一个阵营,可他们都是不见兔子不撒鹰的主,真要组建联军,这蛋糕要怎么分？” A few words William has not said that if attacks Nigeria to request to help the organization continually, that did not have the face, the William's self-respect did not accept. 还有一句话威廉没有说出口,如果连攻打尼日利亚都要求助组织,那也太没面子了,威廉的自尊心根本接受不了。 „Moreover currently West Africa also has other goals, they why go round the sun to meet the moon.” William supplements to say. “而且现在西非还有其他目标,他们何必舍近求远。”威廉补充说道。 Annie asked: „What to do should that the withdrawal of troops?” 安妮问道:“那该怎么办,撤军吗？” William nods, „removes, since cannot overcome, reluctantly, so as to avoid in vain consumable army strength. We honestly defend the native place, manages the internal affairs. As for West Africa, we do not struggle.” 威廉点头,“撤吧,既然打不下,就不要勉强,免得白白消耗军力。我们还是老老实实守住本土,经营内政吧。至于西非,我们不争了。” The Annie look instantaneous is dim, she is honored as King Dynasty War Goddess. 安妮眼神瞬间黯淡下来,她可是被誉为王朝女战神。 Sees this, the William comfort said: „Do not feel to be a pity. Do not look that they snatch the just happy, genuine brutal war that the domain snatches now have not started.” 见此,威廉安慰说道:“你也不要感到可惜。别看他们现在抢地盘抢的正欢,真正残酷的战争还没开始呢。” „elder brother you say Great Xia?” Annie understands everything right off. “哥哥你是说大夏？”安妮一点就透。 „Good. You knew, Great Xia in East Africa, six months attacked and captured nine countries, invincible, made people scared simply. They now till the dagger-axe, did not say that satisfies the present situation, but is grasping the time digestion existing territory, when digests, had the good play to look.” “不错。你都知道了吧,大夏在东非,短短半年时间就攻克九国,战无不胜,简直让人胆寒。他们现在止戈,可不是说就满足于现状,而是在抓紧时间消化现有领土,等到消化完毕,就有好戏看了。” Here, William sighed, „sometimes, but also envied that fellow.” 说到这,威廉就叹了一口气,“有时候,还真羡慕那家伙啊。” Four years ago, when Ouyang Shuo leads Distant Oceans Fleet arrive Alnwick Castle, William had not thought at that time that two big territory have any disparity. 四年前,欧阳朔率领远洋舰队抵达艾维克堡时,威廉当时也没觉得,两大领地有什么差距。 Four years pass by, both are difference between Heaven and Earth. 四年过去,两者已是天差地别。 William as if saw that Great Xia sweeps away the Continent of Africa scene, even more strengthened withdrew from the West Africa thoughts. 威廉似乎看到,大夏横扫非洲大陆的情景,越发坚定了退出西非的心思。 Some Annie actually different views, knit the brows saying: „elder brother, Wilderness not compared with reality, brutal incomparable, the road of Struggle for Dominion if unable to move forward , one will inevitably lag behind. We flinch now, in the future possibly will not be able to defend including the native place.” 安妮却有不同看法,皱眉说道:“哥哥,荒野不比现实,残酷无比,争霸之路更是不进则退。我们现在退缩,未来可能连本土都守不住。” „Far did not say that Germanic King Dynasty eyes covetously to us.” “远的不说,日耳曼王朝就对我们虎视眈眈呢。” In the expansion of West Africa, Germanic King Dynasty is most positive one. 在西非的扩张,日耳曼王朝就是最积极的一个。 Because occupies the Europe center, after annexing various countries, Germanic King Dynasty has 20 million player(s), the greatness of King Dynasty army close 3 million, the national strength is powerful. 因为占据欧洲腹地,在兼并诸国之后,日耳曼王朝足足有两千万玩家,王朝军队接近三百万之巨,国力强盛无比。 Germanic King Dynasty, has lifted up Azure Insignia in the Continent of Europe flag. 日耳曼王朝,扛起了湛蓝徽章在欧洲大陆的大旗。 While ramming internal affairs, Germanic King Dynasty left and right draws, goes north to conquer Northern European various countries, goes south to advance on West Africa Continent, is one of the Europe most active King Dynasty. 在夯实内政的同时,日耳曼王朝左右开弓,北上征服北欧诸国,南下进击西非大陆,是欧洲最活跃的王朝之一。 Two big King Dynasty face each other across the sea, historical has hit twice War, encounters once more, possibly has. 两大王朝隔海相望,历史上更是打过两次大战,再次交锋,不是没可能。 William shakes the head, said with a smile: „Around Germanic King Dynasty the powerful enemy observes the situation, wants to attack us, solves peripheral Gaul King Dynasty and Caesar King Dynasty first with Romanov King Dynasty.” 威廉摇头,笑着说道:“日耳曼王朝周围强敌环视,想要攻打我们,还是先解决周边的高卢王朝、凯撒王朝跟罗曼诺夫王朝吧。” „Moreover the organization some people proposed that looks whether at an appropriate time, to gather the strength of our Five Great King Dynasties, will besiege Germanic King Dynasty together, will expel Continent of Europe it.” In order to make younger sister believe that William does not hesitate to eject heaven-shaking big gossip, „, if plans successfully, entire Continent of Europe will be the world of organization, so long as we will defend the native place, by Household in the status of organization, may rest the head on worry-free high.” “而且组织内部已经有人提议,看能否在适当的时候,集合我们五大王朝之力,一起围攻日耳曼王朝,将其赶出欧洲大陆。”为了使妹妹信服,威廉不惜抛出一个惊天大八卦,“如果计划成功,整个欧洲大陆就将是组织的天下,我们只要守住本土,以家族在组织的地位,就可高枕无忧。” Annie listened, this looking pensive. 安妮听了,这才若有所思。 Even if this, Annie some are not willingly, „we have hit in Nigeria were so long, like this withdraws troops, solid gain does not equal the loss. Or......” 就算这样,安妮还是有些不甘心,“我们在尼日利亚已经打了这么久,就这样撤军,实在得不偿失。要不……” Annie looked at elder brother to be the same cautiously, said: „Or, we request reinforcements to Great Xia quietly, making them help our helping hand, seize Nigeria. Doesn't elder brother also maintain has with him the contact?!” 安妮小心翼翼地看了哥哥一样,道:“要不,我们悄悄向大夏求援,让他们助我们一臂之力,拿下尼日利亚。哥哥不是跟他还保持有联络吗？！” „whatever happens cannot!” “千万别！” The William manner is very firm, „do not hit this wicked scheme, you should know that abandons the fate of organization. If this matter were organized to realize that in the future we can also base in Continent of Europe?” 威廉态度很坚决,“你就别打这鬼主意了,你该知道背弃组织的下场。如果此事被组织察觉,未来我们还要不要在欧洲大陆立足了？” „Matter makes the secret, fears anything.” Annie is really also fearless. “事情做隐秘一点,怕什么。”安妮还真是天不怕地不怕。 „It is not good, wants not to think.” William deeply looked at younger sister, said: „Tomorrow starting from, your rest some time, the matter of withdrawal of troops will not need to worry.” “不行,想都别想。”威廉深深望了一眼妹妹,说道:“明天开始,你还是休息一段时间吧,撤军之事就不用操心了。” „elder brother!” Annie is greatly anxious. “哥哥！”安妮大急。 William is unquestionable: „This, you get down!” 威廉不容置疑:“就这样,你下去吧！” Annie saw, leaves panting in indignation. 安妮见了,气呼呼离开。 William sighed, thought aloud: „Which your knows, this inside water deep.” 威廉叹了一口气,自言自语:“你哪知道,这里面的水到底有多深啊。”
