Chapter 437
In the city of Rome, in the palace of the supreme consul, Scipio sighed.
Judging from the information sent back from the front, Hannibal, who was as fierce as a jackal and cunning as a fox, was not fooled, not only did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but did not relax carelessly, but increased his vigilance, which made Scipio's next strategy unable to achieve the best effect.
"Uncle, what are you going to do now, do you want to attack in advance while the Carthaginians have not yet guessed the offensive route of our army?"
Scipio's nephew, Scipio Jr., hesitated.
"No, there is a saying among the Great Qin people, which is called before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, that is, they must be fully prepared before they can carry out military operations. "
"In the past, in order to keep secrets, many of our army's preparations were carried out secretly, and the efficiency was greatly affected, and the current situation in place is less than half of it. "
"The hasty attack now does not say whether it will succeed when Hannibal is already on guard. "
10 Even if it was a fluke, the food and grass could not keep up, and the offensive could not be carried on, and if it could not drive straight into Carthage, it would not be able to completely shake Hannibal's prestige in Carthage and force the Carthaginians to surrender. "
Scipio shook his head.
"But uncle, with all due respect, even if all the supplies are in place, it will be very difficult to achieve such a complete victory. "
"That Hannibal is still very capable of making my great Roman legions return many times. "
"If he hadn't attracted his attention before, there was a high probability that he had a mental calculation or not. "
"But now that Hannibal has a place, and time drags on, it is hard to guarantee that he will not guess the purpose of my Roman legions, and if he fortifies in advance, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to get his hands on. "
Little Scipio said stiffly.
"What you're talking about is really a possibility. "
"But it can't be helped, who gives us too little time left. "
"During this period of time, you should have heard of the movements of the Great Qin people by exploring the railway. "
"It's okay to be near the city of Rome, after all, there is an uncle, and they have to worry about three points. "
"In the rest of Rome, they openly conducted extensive surveys of the area, and the nobles, not only did not stop them, but cooperated for a little money, and sold out the detailed geographical information of Rome. "
"This level of detail has completely exceeded the need to build a railway, but to prepare for future battles. "
"The tiger and wolf heart of the Great Qin people, this is obvious!"
Uncle could only try to end the war with Carthage as soon as possible, and use Carthage's many years to speed up the recovery of Rome in order to cope with the inevitable more difficult wars in the future. "
Scipio smiled wryly.
"Since my uncle already knew about the ambitions of the Great Qin people, why didn't he blast them out, but continue to allow them to build a railway?"
Scipio the Younger wondered.
"There are many reasons, but in the end, there are actually only a few points. "
"First, Great Qin is too strong, even if we know that there will be a war in the future, we can't afford to provoke them at present, so we can only paralyze them first. "
"Otherwise, if the Great Qin people are annoyed and angry, and turn to support the Carthaginians with all their might, it will be very difficult for us in Rome. "
"Second, although the people of Great Qin are very greedy, their technology is really not to say, such a magical railway, except for Great Qin, no one else can toss it out. "
"This time, outside of Rome City, the reason why the Great Qin people can act so recklessly is because of the inconvenient transportation, which leads to the lack of control of the periphery in Roman City. "
"And the advent of the railroad has made it possible for the city of Rome to reach all cities and counties in one day, and where it passes, will there be anyone who dares to disobey orders?"
"Rectifying the interior in advance and strengthening the control of the local area is the premise for my Rome and Great Qin to prepare for war. "
"To be honest, my uncle admires His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin very much, who can withstand huge pressure and create a centralized system like a county, which is really not something that ordinary emperors can do. "
"Such a system, both internally and externally, can be twisted into a rope, and in the event of a full-scale war between countries, it is completely crushing the countries with an alliance system that are not united internally!"
"Typically, such as the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleucus in the past, the population territory was not much smaller than that of Great Qin, but now it was easily taken by Great Qin. "
Scipio sighed. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"In other words, at present, we can only watch the Great Qin people act wantonly on my Roman land?"
"And my nephew has a doubt, the railway was invented by the Great Qin people, it is impossible for the Great Qin people not to know its function, will they really build it for me Romans?"
Scipio the Younger wondered.
"I think it will. "
"Because the people of Daqin are still quite reputable in business, it is impossible to smash their own signboards on such a large project that has attracted the attention of the whole world. "
"Uncle will also send someone to keep an eye on the project, and the rest can be regarded as not visible, and if there is a little omission in the specific construction, then it will not be polite to the people of Daqin. "
"Moreover, the purpose of the Great Qin people is to conquer the entire world, including my Rome. "
"If you want to control such a big hole card, the Great Qin people are going to build the railway all over the world, and now let me pay for it in Rome, it's better than spending their own money in the future, right?"
"What you see is what this railroad 917 does to me in Rome. "
"But to the Great Qin people, would they care about that?"
Scipio smiled wryly.
Scipio the Younger was speechless.
Then he sighed heavily.
The strength of this Great Qin is so powerful that people are daunted, and they don't know how to resist at all.
After being silent for a long time, little Scipio suddenly spoke: "Uncle, my nephew wants to go to Daqin in person to see what this country that is rumored to be a god is like?"
"Yes, but if you go this time, you can bring your sister with you, she is also very yearning for Daqin. "
Scipio pondered for a moment, and quickly gave an answer.
Little Scipio couldn't help but be stunned again.
He went to Daqin to investigate, in order to learn more about the opponent's intelligence, so as to prepare for future wars.
But what can that innocent sister do if she follows?
It's nice not to add to the mess.
Especially that girl still admires His Royal Highness very much, and she is shocked.
This time I went thousands of miles, but I was afraid that I would send it to the door.
Immediately, a strange thought flashed through Little Scipio's mind?
Could it be that this is Uncle Pi's true intention?
