It is another time to set sail, but everyone's mood is completely different from the last time.
For the Han people who went to war, the collapse of the Gupta Dynasty is an established fact. There may be some residual elements to make trouble. They are not related by blood or are not members of the Gupta royal family to restore, but those will not be a big problem.
The first batch of soldiers selected to return home together included high-level generals and ordinary soldiers. One of them was a model specially selected.
Typically, to put it bluntly, it is the object needed by the national propaganda machine. After repeated propaganda, it will become an example for a specific class to learn from.
The fleet left the ketak port, entered the A3 ocean, entered the pingman Colonel's headquarters, and then went straight to Malacca without stopping.
During the period of passing through Malacca, I no longer saw the scene of wild to only small fishing villages.
At the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, two tall lighthouses are the first to enter the field of vision. They are distributed on both sides of the Strait and will provide lights at night to avoid ships hitting the land.
In addition to the two lighthouses, there are large buildings on both sides of the Strait at the entrance. Even without military common sense, it can be seen that it is a customs fortress of some kind of permanent mode.
"There must be artillery in it, too?" Keshias was very impressed by firearms. He wanted to watch the bronze guns loaded on the flagship more than once along the way, but he could only look at them from a distance: "the Han Empire had such weapons, and no one in the world would be their opponent."
There must be shore guns in the customs fortress. The large caliber shore guns hidden in the YONGGU fortification are usually placed in buildings, and smaller caliber guns will be pulled out during the civil war.
In fact, this area of fortification has not been completely completed. For example, underground excavation is far from enough. Only about 35% of the projects of various rooms and underground passages have been completed.
The Han people built this place as a primary military important place. They would not only build a large number of permanent fortifications on the surface, but also have no less underground military facilities. They planned to build the "lock" of the Strait as perfect as possible, so as to make it a barrier that can never be broken through.
The recognition that Malacca is a "lock" has been recognized by more and more Han people. Although they feel that no one can hit the door, the concept that people without foresight must have immediate worries has been affecting Han people.
There will be no danger for their generation and even for several more generations, but if one day their children and grandchildren don't work hard and ruin their family business, the builders will do what should be done first. Even if they lose their family, their children and grandchildren can support it for a longer time, can't they?
"It's a huge permanent military base." Julian has been observing the two sides of the Strait. He has seen too many military fortifications and a large number of labor forces continue to build like ants: "although I don't understand why the powerful Han Empire has such a sense of hardship, in a way, the Han Empire is really too rich."
When the fleet arrived at the Strait, it was divided into two formations. That was because there was a large island in the middle of the entrance of the Strait. Naturally, the fleet could not hit it straightly.
When the fleet goes in teams, we can see the vastness of the fleet. Ships of various styles are connected in rows. The scene is incomparably spectacular.
Malacca is not at the gate of the Han state. It is thousands of miles away from the mainland. Some materials can be obtained from the local nearby, but there are always materials that need to be transported from the mainland. Looking at the current scale, how can it cost tens of millions or even more gold coins, but the project seems to be just the beginning?
After Julian and others left Rome, after repeated discussions, the Roman parliament decided to build fortifications in the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Romans had a strong determination to lock their "national gate" firmly no matter how much and how long it cost. They just couldn't come up with a construction plan for a while and a half, but they had begun to raise funds.
The arrival of the Chinese Fleet directly to Constantinople was very exciting to the Romans. In particular, they were worried that the whole Roman country could not draw a fleet to compete with it.
On the premise that no one is a pure fool, Constantius II just mentioned it, and the whole aristocracy responded enthusiastically. It is rare for Rome to usher in a great unity without mustard. Money and labor can not continue without defense. If the Chinese Fleet came this time, it would be friendly, but it would be no longer friendly?
If the military facilities in the Strait of Gibraltar are to be built, there must be a fleet. A strong sense of crisis is like a whip, which is madly beating the buttocks of the high-level Roman officials, driving them to move.
The homing fleet still did not stop in Malacca, but directly entered the rising sea (South 1 sea).
After completely leaving the Strait of Malacca, international friends couldn't help looking behind them. They were shocked by the great efforts of the Han people in Malacca, and also had feelings.
"The powerful Han Empire has a sense of hardship. What reason do we have to relax?" Julian didn't know that the country had decided to start a super large project in the Strait of Gibraltar. He hesitated and said to cleas: "maybe it's time for Rome and sassanne to put down the dispute?"
Keshias was a little stunned. He knew that Rome had a sense of fear of the Han state, but didn't bossasan?
The more you understand the Han people, the more you will know the strength of the Han people. It is not like a mountain pressing on your heart, but like the weight of the whole earth pressing on your body!
If they had thought about fighting together before, they quietly abandoned those ideas after seeing the power of Han people's firearms.
Quite simply, the relationship between Rome and Persian sassanne and the Han state is not bad, and the Han people have not shown their hostility to Rome and Persian sassanne. For them, the current situation of the relationship is very important. They really can't do anything that can stimulate the Han people, or the fragile friendship will turn into hostility, and they won't even cry at that time.
Obviously, Julian and keshias, who can determine the diplomatic relations between Rome and sassanne to some extent, maintain the greatest reason and will never talk about the topic of alliance against the Han people, but there are some things that should be talked about.
Keshias looked around and replied in a low voice, "we really should learn to get along well with each other, but... We need a reason without flaws."
Julian nodded heavily. The Romans and Persians had been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years. Suddenly, they said they would not fight. Instead, they sent an obvious signal to the Han people. They could not allow the Han people to think whether the Romans and Persians wanted to form an alliance to engage in themselves.
"Besides, we have too many disputes and disputes." Keshias said the truth. Even if the two sides are willing to live in peace, the solution still needs to be solved: "I've been thinking about whether we can let the Han people preside over to solve our dispute."
After thinking seriously, Julian looked at kesias with an expression of admiration: "Your Excellency is so wise!"
No, to let the Han people preside over is to give a high status, indicating that Rome and sassanne recognize the Han people as the boss.
At the same time, as long as the Han people are willing to be the arbiter, it means that the Han people have accepted the positioning of the boss. Since the Han people are willing to be the boss, there is no problem!
The eldest should have the grandeur and style of the eldest. You can't bully your younger brother casually.
All younger brothers, if your strength is poor, you can be a younger brother honestly. The younger brother who has the opportunity to turn over will never listen to the boss. Maybe he can win enough time to become stronger, and even get enough benefits (knowledge) from the boss.
For the Romans and Persians, what they need to do most is to let the Han people be the boss and addicted. It's good for the Han people to play the role of one word. Anything that can move their mouth must not let the Han people send troops.
Oh! The Romans and Persians can play the role of little brother. For example, if the Han people don't like who they see, the Romans and Persians scream and rush up, "the boss has his troubles, and the little brother takes the place of labor". The advantage is that the boss gets the biggest share, but why should the little brother gnaw his bone and drink some soup?
Julian and keshias talked more and more happily, and talked more and more speculatively. They didn't notice that Wang Meng leaned against the bulkhead and listened very interesting.
Wang Meng knows Roman and Persian. Although he doesn't understand some slang words, it doesn't prevent him from distinguishing most of the meanings. He didn't hear what Julian and keshias said in front of him. Instead, he listened to the part of the conversation behind them that made Han a "communist".
[Communist Party leader? Is a role similar to the son of Zhou?] Wang Meng's growth environment and knowledge are as follows: [it seems that he has a head!]
Anyway, Rome and Persian sassanne are also powerful countries in the world, and they are also regional overlords with great national cultural heritage. One says nothing in the West and the other acts as a bully in the middle. It will really be useful to be recognized as powerful by two such countries.
[your majesty once said that there is a ball under your feet. There are seven continents. The Great Han, Rome, Sassanian and other countries are on the world island of Europa and Asia?] Wang Meng has read the world map and has preliminarily developed the concept of "Earth": [after the Han Dynasty conquered the Gupta Dynasty, there were still far west and far north places, which would not have any conflict with the Daqin and Persians in a short time...]
In the next step, Han will not start any large-scale war, but will clean up the edges and corners that have not been done before.
In the new round of ten-year plan, the resolution is to carry out the construction of local areas. We can't just see the repeated expansion of territory, but the quality of life of domestic people has not been significantly improved.
In fact, the most important thing is that the Han state has some support for its territory. There is not enough population to fill at all. It has to stop the wheels of its chariot.
