If Julian was afraid of the strength of the Han Empire at the beginning, he thought it was a great idea.
"This is a perfect plan!" Flavis said with great certainty, "there is no more suitable scheme at present."
Julian looked at the night sky. There was no cloud tonight. There was a tooth moon in the sky.
In the long history, Rome has organized a multinational alliance more than once, usually to target an enemy country. Naturally, the leader of the alliance is Rome, and then Rome takes a group of organization member countries to fight against the enemy country.
In Roman values, Rome does not have to have enemies, but must have allies. It is probably the similar concept of "those who get the Tao help more" in Zhuxia. The difference is that Rome's allies must be vassals, not to whom Rome is committed or have equal status.
The two were sitting on the open balcony of an attic. They basically had no chance to eat because they participated in the banquet. If they didn't eat something after they came back, they couldn't sleep on an empty stomach. They came to the balcony with the food prepared by the post office one after another and happened to get together.
"I haven't been able to understand that." Flavis sucked a mouthful of chewy noodles and said vaguely, "Why are Chinese people interested in contacting the outside world now?"
The Romans who know how to keep pace with the times know that they must understand the Han people from various channels, including the Han history books available in the Institute.
"Yes, why this time?" Seeing that flavis was so delicious, he was hungry and had no appetite. He couldn't help but take a sip of noodles. After the food was imported, he felt the spicy soup and the chewiness of noodles. He said in puzzlement: "how can a nation devote more energy to the study of pleasure when it is committed to the growth of military strength?"
The Han Empire was born in the sky and entered the vision of the Romans with an extremely powerful attitude. The Roman attitude towards the Han Empire changed again and again.
At first, the Romans only took the initiative to contact the Han Empire out of the purpose of not allowing the Han Empire to come together with Persian sassanne and acting as a dung stirring stick.
The first Romans who came into contact with the Han Empire conveyed a lot of information to the mainland. The core is that the Han Empire is definitely not easy to provoke. If the Han people and the Persians really become allies, even if the Han people do not personally participate in the war against Rome, Rome will be in big trouble.
"Yes, it's impossible to have both force and pleasure." Flavis was puzzled that ordinary noodles could be so delicious: "is it that, as the Persians said, the Han people are a nation favored by some great existence?"
Julian was lost in thought, only his mouth unconsciously chewing food.
New changes always occur with understanding. After the Roman envoys came to pingman Colonel, Rome's attitude towards the Han Empire changed again.
The Romans were really troubled by the fact that the Han people were able to build military bases across the sea and were still the kind of strength that could garrison more than 100000 troops overseas. They clearly know that the Han people can garrison hundreds of thousands of troops overseas, which also means that they can send troops into Persian Sassanian territory. The alliance between the Han people and the Persians will not be as simple as material exchange.
Since they knew the navigation development of the Han Empire, the Han Army did not exclude cross sea expeditions. The Romans no longer regarded the Han Empire as a distant country and recognized that the Han Empire was a potential enemy that could actually threaten the security of Rome.
What really made the Romans afraid of the Han Empire was that the Han Empire's fleet could reach Constantinople directly from the sea. In advance, the Han Empire's diplomatic corps broke out in a foreign capital, which all showed and proved the Han people's confidence in their national strength. It was only clear that it was not a big deal to go to war with Rome.
At this stage, Julian did not know what the other Romans thought. What he knew was that the high level of Rome, including Augustus and Caesar, had understood that they were weaker than the Han Empire. They really began to fear war with the Han Empire. Otherwise, they would not have two princesses to choose, or even many beauties to marry.
Under the premise that they could never become enemies, or at least they could not light up the war as a last resort, the Romans had an extraordinary degree of shame for admitting counseling.
In history, the Romans recognized counseling more than once, then buried their development, and finally buried the object of counseling into the land.
This time, after a lapse of unknown years, the Romans finally ushered in another recognition. Up to Constantius and down to any informed Roman citizen, they have been determined to learn from their ancestors and read the newly learned "painstaking people, bad luck, lay down their salaries and taste gall, and three thousand Vietnamese can swallow Wu." This Chinese sentence should be embodied in Gou Jian.
If we follow the normal development, Rome, which is angry and strong throughout the country, will inevitably usher in a new outbreak period. It may even make Rome no longer fight internally because of this humiliation, and unite to work for the same goal. No matter what the final result of the war with the Han Empire will be, the possibility of avoiding its own "historical track" is infinite. (in a few decades, Rome will split into eastern Rome and Western Rome)
For the Romans who did not know it, ignorance would be a kind of happiness.
For the Romans who had seen the power of gunpowder, knowing too much was more likely to fall into despair.
Julian fell into the stage of doubting his life for a period of time. He felt that it was good to jump down and follow the waves in the face of the broken and turbulent sea more than once.
At that time, Julian had reason to believe that kesias would have more troubles than himself. He is a Caesar reserve, who has lost the desire to survive in the face of Rome's tragic future. Should kesias, the third successor of bossasan, be more desperate than himself? After all, Persian sassanne is not really far from the Han Empire.
The two people who were also in despair disguised themselves very well. They changed their mentality out of a joke like conversation. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was reliable, and after countless secret talks.
"I believe the Persians are far more frightened than us." Julian did not gloat, but only felt sad: "you know, once I accidentally heard keshias talking to Yena. He asked Yena to be loved by the emperor of Han anyway. He thought that it was not the army that could ensure Sasan's safety, but Yena or Nicar's body."
"..." flavis wanted to say that kesias was simply wise, and no one was willing to be an enemy of a country that possessed divine weapons: "I have to say, maybe you also need to have a deeper conversation with Helena and Helena."
"If the will of the emperor of Han is a beautiful body, it can influence..." Julian mocked obviously: "I am willing to let all Roman women try it again."
Flavis "ha ha" twice. He felt that Julian's affectation should be changed. If he wanted to achieve great things, he should not have any affectation. He should even be prepared to take office on the ground and trample on it. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to do great things.
"I can see that the foreign minister of the Han Empire is very interested." Julian could see vlavis's disapproval on his face. He didn't want to continue on that topic and change the topic: "now we should work hard to arouse the interest of more Han Empire ministers!"
He didn't think much about this. He felt that to think about those, he might as well study the layout of the post house and learn from one or more private vacation manors when he went back.
Of course, the post house for the embassies of various countries is located in the city, and the specifications are not low, that is, the people responsible for providing services are not Han people, but Japanese people from the Japanese islands.
There are many similar posthouses in the city, and the Roman embassy accounts for 23. It is better to arrange some insignificant people to the designated temporary camp, or arrange one or two hundred posthouses for all Romans.
The Romans who could be arranged into the post house by Honglu hall either had aristocratic status or reported their status as candidate beauties.
The Persians occupy two fewer posthouses than the Romans. There are fewer nobles from Persia than Rome, but there are many more candidate beauties from Persia than Rome.
The embassies of other countries are really not enough. They are arranged to live in one post house with many countries.
"What we need to do now is to be friendly, even to show a submissive attitude." Flavis said that there was no sense of shame at this time. The valentinianus family never pursued face and practical interests: "weakness is sometimes a weapon, even sharper than any weapon. Now we need this."
The Valentinian anus family did not rise for a long time, but why did it climb to the high-level social circle in Rome in such a short time? Even the Valentinian anus family has never cared about face. They also know what kind of people to contact and how much dignity to abandon. Mastering that degree is the key to the rise of the Valentinian anus family.
"If we can make the Han Empire feel humiliated even when it goes to war with us, it will undoubtedly be the greatest success." Vlavis could see that Julian had obvious rejection and said with a smile, "Julian, you should think about the Germanic people carefully."
Julian certainly knew the Germanic people, and even knew why the Germanic people could exist. Up to now, even the Germanic people have not become weak, but become stronger.
"In front of the powerful Han Empire, we need to define ourselves as Germanic." Flavis has no sense of shame: "we think the Germanic people are a group of ants that can be pressed to death at any time. We have never been willing to admit that they are enemies. They are just a group of playthings that provide us with fun. The Germanic people have not been eliminated."
Julian sighed greatly: "we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Rome."
"No!" Flavis firmly said: "we will become the greatest heroes in Roman history!"
