v8 Chapter 12： Roman Senate

And Tapulus is now calmly facing the most powerful people in Rome, and his voice is loud: "Respected Roman veterans, King Davers of the Kingdom of Dionia asked me to bring him to you. Sincerely, before I left, he repeatedly told me, 'Although he has passed Rome from the future, but he knows that Rome is a great city-state, he has a deep respect for Rome!..."

The words of Tapirus are not like fakes, they are unexpected to everyone, and they are also moved. After all, some rumors about the King of Dionia, Daves, they also heard that they can get his praise, they also feel Rong has a flaw.

"Dr. Daphus also hopes that my trip will not affect his affection for Rome and the precious peace between Rome and Dionia!" Tapurus's next turn Let the Roman veterans feel tight, and he heard him say aloud: "Wolsey has formed an alliance with our Dionya. Dionia hopes that Rome will stop its aggression against the Wolsey territory and return the captured territory. The two sides ceased fighting!"

The voice of Tapirus just fell, and the venue was in utter disappointment.

A group of people stood up in the crowd and asked with anger: "If Rome does not stop?!"

Tapirus responded with a strong response: "Then Dionya will fulfill the covenant with Wolsey and send troops to stop the war from continuing!"

The entire venue suddenly exploded like a pot, and the controversy sounded.

The former person was even more angry and asked: "Dainia is far from the South, what qualifications are there to interfere with our Rome?!"

Tapirus calmly replied: "Diaonia has no intention of interfering with Rome. We are only fulfilling our allies' obligations."

"Don't know if you don't know that the Welsh people first came to invade our allies. We only angered and retaliated. The Wolsey people should be punished naturally!" another person shouted.

"You Rome acted in accordance with the covenant, and we are the same." Tapirus answered without hesitation.

"Dyonia, don't think that you have occupied the South, you think you are strong, you can go to Rome to triumph! As long as you dare to send troops to this land, our Roman warriors will let you taste the true war. Pain!" Another person shouted in anger and attracted some of the veterans.

Tapirus’s warm and unrelenting response: “Diaonia has no intention of showing off force, but it is not afraid of any strong enemy. One force after another that we have defeated in the past is proof.”

The riots in the Senate have a tendency to expand. At this time, Paulus, who is sitting in the front row, stands up and shouts: "Dyonia's messenger, please go back to the hotel first, wait for us to discuss, make a decision, then go inform you."

Tapirus nodded in agreement, and he reminded: "I hope that you can make a decision as soon as possible. Any delay will cause more casualties for the Wolsey and your Roman soldiers. This is neither your expectation nor the What we are willing to see!"

Tapirus seems to have a threat to Rome in the words of good intentions, which even caused the embarrassment of the veterans, but he walked out of the venue without fear.

Paulus went to the center of the venue and said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen are new, please be quiet! Please keep quiet!... The Dionyns ask us to stop attacking Wolsey. What do you think of this?"

The man who had angered Tapirus for many times said first: "Is it still used? Of course, don't pay attention! Our citizens have won many **** battles, and they have won this opportunity to attack the Walsi people. How could it be because of the words of the Dionyrians that they easily let go of Wolsey!"

"Pantius, it’s easy for you to say this. Dionynia rarely had diplomatic contacts with Rome before, and you probably don’t know much about it. Although this kingdom was established for more than a decade, it has already occupied In the south of Italy, even the mighty Samonais were defeated by it, and they had to become its allies. Even the Carthaginians were afraid of three points and renewed their agreement with it.

Although we have now escaped the embarrassment of being defeated by the Celtics, our strength has been restored, even stronger than before. But compared with Dionia, just like a goat facing the bull, the strength is very different. If you let Dionia get involved in this area, it will be a big trouble for Rome! "A person behind the venue stood up and said seriously. The person who said this was Fabios Ambustus, a highly respected veteran who was known for his strong patriotic enthusiasm.

"My understanding of Dionia is certainly not as good as your nobles, but I will never give up because of the fear of the power of Dionia! Don't forget that Roman civilians need more land to make them Get rid of poverty and ease conflicts with us. If we stop the war against the Wolsey and return to the occupied land, then we promised the civilians’ commitment to allocate land to the newly occupied Worth towns. It can't be realized! Unless you aristocrats agree to distribute the large amount of public land in the city state to them, you will see -" Pantius Komirius looked around coldly and said loudly: "The anger of the civilians will break out again!"

The noise in the venue suddenly became a lot smaller, and Fabius Ambustus looked a little unsightly.

At this time, Paulus said: "Hey, Pantius, don't be excited. The people sitting in this venue, whether they are born aristocrats or civilians, have no less love for Rome than you, especially respectable. Ambustus. Not to mention that in the battle of Kremeli nearly a hundred years ago, his family of 306 people almost sacrificed to resist the attack of thousands of Vieiras on Rome! Ten years ago, After the defeat of the Aria war, Celtic’s army marched into Rome, and the whole city was panicking. Ambustus decided to go to the Celtic camp on the north bank of the Tiber River to persuade the Celtic king Brunus, although eventually Failure, his courage is still admired by the people! This is not lost to your adventure to sneak into the Capitoli surrounded by the Celtics, to retrieve the courageous action of the dictatorship of Camillaus..."

In the words of Paulus, Ambustus had a glory on his face, and other veterans began to agree, and began to criticize Pantius for his unreasonable elders.

Although Pantius did not speak, his face still remained a little unconvinced.

In fact, Paulus did not care about the feelings of his military and political colleagues. He turned his attention to the front row of the venue. There was an old man sitting there, his white hair, dry skin and stature, so he sat in white. On the ivory wooden chair, you can still make a lot of spare space.

But the veterans of the Senate did not look down on him. Instead, like Paulus, his eyes were full of respect. He was Lukius Valerius Poiti, who had served as Roman consul several times. Tus.

"Uncle, what do you think of the unreasonable demands of the Dionyns?" Paulus asked respectfully. He and the old man are not immediate family members, but both of them belong to the Valerius clan, and they are the same Potistus family, and they call "uncle".

Pottyus snorted with sullen eyes and said slowly: "We don't have to immediately reject Dionia's request. After all, such an important thing can't be decided in a short time. We can talk to Diony. Asians can negotiate slowly..."

Paulus eyes brightened, he understood the meaning of the uncle, that is - drag!

"No, never give hope to the Diaonians! In order to avoid future troubles, we should reject them very simply!" An old man next to Portitos loudly opposed.

He is Probrius Cornelius Marouginnes, and the prestige is not lost to the Roman veterans of Portitos, who has always sang against Potistus in the Senate, but this A veteran who succumbed to the power of Dionia did not adopt his opinion.

Finally, Ambustus took the words of Portitos and made specific suggestions: "We should send a messenger to immediately greet Kamulus and Freuz, let them deal with the Tuskulone as soon as possible. Then led the troops without going back to the city, quickly rushed to Satnikum, assisted Lisignius and Quintus, attacked Wolsey, and tried to occupy the land in a short time!..."

When he said this, Pantius looked at him and Paulus nodded.

"In addition, be sure to contact Carthage as soon as possible to see what they have to say about the sudden insertion of Dionia into the Latin region?!" Portitos also reminded.

"I am afraid we should also remind our colonies and allies to prepare in advance..." Pantius said Finally, the Roman Senate made a resolution.

They sent messengers to inform Tapulus, pretending to say sincerely: "The Senate is already considering the truce, but because there are four military officers expeditions without their consent, according to Roman legal procedures, it is impossible to make The final resolution, so I have to wait for a while..."

Tapirus did not have a deep understanding of Rome's political system. He judged according to the political system of the Kingdom of Dionia and the surrounding Greek city-states. It seems that so many generals in the city did not have a great influence on the resolution of the Senate. In particular, they are still the parties, so he said as a difficult one: "My king is waiting for my return. I hope that the Roman Senate will give me the final reply as soon as possible! I can wait, but the King of Dionia has no patience to wait. !"

He thought he was responsive, but he did not know the power of the Roman Senate. It is not only the highest administrative organ in Rome, but also the highest supervision of the life of all countries. The governor is only the executor of any resolution of the Senate, not to mention the current The consul, but the military and political officials who are biased towards the military, have less power.
