Chapter 394
Chapter 394
In the Roman Senate, Scipio, the chief consul, looked at the report sent by the adjutant, and his face couldn't help but become solemn.
"Your Highness, now there are rumors everywhere in the entire city of Rome, saying that Daqin's side has created an artifact with infinite power that is more terrifying than Hercules, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid that people will soon be panicked. "
The adjutant said with an indignant look on his face.
"Have you found out, who spread the news?"
Scipio said with a frown.
"Do you still have to guess, except for those grain supervisors sent by Great Qin, as well as the nobles and magnates who colluded with them, who has so much energy?"
The adjutant didn't think about it and said, "Your Excellency, give the order, if you don't arrest this group of people, the city of Rome will be in chaos!"
"Without sufficient evidence, what are you going to do to arrest this group of people?"
"Don't forget, this group of Great Qin Prison Grain Officials rely on distributing grain, but they have extremely high prestige among those people, and if they take people without a suitable reason, the consequences will only be more tricky. "
"What's more, although this group of people is unarmed, behind them, there is a powerful Great Qin!"
"We have promised the Great Qin people to protect this group of grain supervisors before, and the black letters on the white paper 887 are clearly written, and we will shoot at will, isn't this an excuse for the Great Qin people to declare war on my Rome?"
Scipio had no good airway.
"This!"
"This group of Great Qin people is really hateful!"
"Obviously, they have no place to pile up the extremely cheap grain in the country, and they dare to sell me Rome at a shameful high price, and they also want me to sign such unreasonable terms in Rome. "
"For this batch of grain, my Roman treasury was empty, and a large number of bonds were issued, and as a result, the good reputation was taken by the Great Qin people. "
"It's so deceitful!"
"If there is a war, there will be a war, anyway, it will be a matter of time. "
The adjutant said with tears in his eyes.
"Does today's Rome really still have the strength to be the enemy of Great Qin?"
Scipio couldn't help but smile wryly.
To tell the truth, the moment he learned the truth, not only the adjutant, but Scipio himself was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
But after calming down, Scipio had to give up his impulsive desire to go to war.
The reason is very simple, since the loss of the territory of the Persian region, the current Romans are simply unable to invade the territory of Great Qin. (baag)
You can't attack, just a declaration of war on defense, that's the biggest joke.
Scipio, on the contrary, was always worried about the threat of the incomparably powerful Great Qin Navy after the opening of the Suez Canal.
That's not something the Roman fleet could compete with.
According to the description of the envoy stationed in Great Qin, the largest warship of the Great Qin people, with a displacement almost ten times that of the Roman warship, was as unshakable as a castle on the sea.
The weapons equipped on it are even more powerful to the point of being outrageous.
And once Rome and Great Qin went to war, the Carthaginians would definitely die laughing.
Hannibal, who made the Romans hate it so much, would never miss the opportunity to completely destroy Rome by attacking back and forth.
This group of stupid Carthaginians don't understand the truth of the Great Qin people's cold lips and teeth.
Scipio smiled wryly again.
Seeing Scipio's expression, the originally indignant adjutant couldn't help but be deflated.
As Scipio's assistant, he naturally understood the huge gap between Rome and Great Qin.
"But Your Excellency, the Great Qin people are already digging the Suez Canal, and when the canal is opened, the Great Qin people will also enter the Mediterranean Sea, and we will still have to fight against the Great Qin people at that time!"
The adjutant was stunned for a long time.
"It's better to have a little time than to start a war with Daqin now, right?"
"Now that the gap between Hannibal and the Senate in Carthage is becoming more and more obvious, we may not be out of room to use if we plan carefully. "
"As for the Great Qin people, let's open one eye and close one eye first!"
Scipio said helplessly. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"But if you don't think about it, it's impossible to control this rumor!"
The adjutant said with a depressed expression.
"When the rumors are really outrageous, we will come out and clarify, maybe it will be better. "
"Actually, what I'm really worried about is that this powerful artifact promoted by the Great Qin people is not a rumor. "
Scipio sighed heavily. []
"How is this possible?"
The adjutant had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Although I don't want to believe it either. "
"Although Daqin can even build a castle on the sea and a flying artifact, this Hercules artifact on land is easier than flying in the sky!"
"I have decided to send an envoy to Daqin for a friendly visit, and by the way, to find out if this so-called artifact is true. "
"God bless, I hope that this time the Great Qin people are indeed boasting, not really having such an unpredictable ability. "
"Otherwise, I am afraid that my centuries-old Roman inheritance will die at the hands of us. "
Scipio looked at the map of Rome on the wall and felt a lot of emotion.
I thought Rome was strong enough.
Hundreds of years of savings, while waging war with the Carthaginian and Macedonian states, can still maintain the offensive, and the road to empire is just around the corner.
However, the mysterious East, the sudden rise of Great Qin, made the dream of the Roman Empire directly become a mirror.
Not to mention development, even survival is about to become a problem.
The city of Carthage, the supreme consul Sofitet, was also sighing.
Although relying on the help of Great Qin, Carthage had survived the most difficult hurdle and successfully stabilized the battle line with the Romans.
But looking at the huge map of the Great Qin Territory, Sofite's heart really couldn't be happy.
Although Carthage and Great Qin were nominally allies, everyone knew that allies had always been the least reliable.
Whether it can be sold or not depends only on the size of the interest.
The Great Qin people openly declared that they wanted to unify the world, so that the whole world would be Qin soil, including Rome, and Carthage would not be excluded.
What is even more frightening is that the people of Great Qin really have such strength.
As soon as the Suez Canal is opened, Daqin's unimaginably powerful fleet enters, and the entire Mediterranean Sea will become the backyard of the Daqin people.
Not to mention that Rome and Carthage are still at war, even if the two countries join forces, it will be difficult to match the Great Qin.
What's more, after hundreds of years of war, Carthage and Rome have already become mortal enemies.
If Sophie proposed the idea of an alliance with the Romans, I am afraid that the Carthaginian Senate would want to do it.
What's more, many of today's patriarchs have been completely bought by Great Qin, and Carthage is no longer monolithic.
Sofitel was in a daze for a long time, but finally turned into a sigh.
In this world, the fist is the truth.
And Da Qin's fist is so powerful that it makes people almost desperate!.
