Chapter 3868: Strategic planning for the next stage

Pompianus still has a little understanding of Ma Chao’s mind, so be realistic about what he did before and do now, and leave the rest to Pompianus to adjust in the general direction, save it. Something went wrong.

"In short, the situation is such a situation. You only need to know the matter in your mind, no matter if it is an accident or something." Caesar finally exhorted a few words, "Don't gossip about it indiscriminately."

Ma Chao didn't know why, but he nodded. To be honest, he didn't feel that the other party was Bai Qi and Han Xin at all. Even if Caesar said it, Ma Chao didn't react.

"In this case, after the internal inspection is completed, we will continue to increase troops in Eastern Europe. After all, it is not easy to find a place to train. Eastern Europe is a very good place, especially the Yuan family. It is really resistant." Perennis thought. Want to speak.

Severus nodded when he heard the words, "If you want to go to Eastern Europe this time, you must send a more powerful commander. After all, the opponent is Huangfu Yizhen."

"I'll go, because I'm suitable for going to Eastern Europe when I'm here." Perennis thought for a while, and after looking at the group of people present, he finally found that he is also suitable for going to Eastern Europe.

Nigel is going to the Atlantic to form the Atlantic Fleet. Severus can't move lightly. Others have some dreams about dealing with Huangfusong, and he can only go personally.

However, compared to spending time in Rome, Perennis felt that going to Eastern Europe was also a good choice, at least there, he could arrange it at will.

"Alright." Severus thought for a while. As for Huangfusong's level of performance before, without counting the strength of the soldiers, their Rome would only be able to withstand Severus and Perennis, so Perennis was able to withstand it. It's normal to go there in person.

"If this is the case, I think you can try to see if it can be planted in Eastern Europe. Although it is convenient to transport grain and grass from the Black Sea to the Don River through the Mediterranean, water transportation is convenient, but if you can produce some, you can save some." Anus is still so careful.

"Okay, I'll try it when the time comes." Perennis said casually. After all, this trip to Eastern Europe will not end in one or two years. It is really necessary to restore most of these corps. Under the situation where the intensity of the war can be controlled, I am afraid that all It takes three or four years to do it.

"I will arrange some manpower for you at that time and hand it over to you for deployment in Eastern Europe." Pompianus nodded. Relatively speaking, Perennis is indeed a better speaker.

"There is one more thing, Treasurer." Severus saw that Perennis and Pompianus had a brief discussion, and quickly moved on to the next link, "About Guishuang."

"There is a Han Chinese intervening in the Tianzhou incident. Whether it is accident or not, we have to take some precautions, and after a large-scale downgrade, our core Eagle Flag's internal suppression ability has declined to a certain extent." Anus squinted and said.

Although Rome’s main force in suppressing the native barbarians is actually the legions of the provinces, it is the same as the 24,000 people suppressing more than 6 million square kilometers of Central Asia and even the population of 20 million in the Tang Dynasty. The significance of deterrence is sometimes far greater than actual. Combat effectiveness.

Datang’s 20,000 people in Central Asia are more of a deterrent effect, showing that they have the qualifications to stand firm in this place, and the real stability maintenance is the local auxiliary soldiers, but these auxiliary soldiers are basically equivalent to a wall of grass. , Who is forced to fall to whom.

So when Datang was strong, they would be obedient, but when Datang accidentally capsized in Central Asia, the local legions that were maintaining stability in these places quickly fell to the catastrophe.

Although the situation in Rome is not as bad as the situation faced by Datang at that time, the nature of the main force, Eagle Banner, has not changed at all, and there are not many opponents that really need Eagle Banner to suppress.

It should even be said that if the Roman barbarians are in turmoil and the eagle flag is needed to go out in person, the Roman Empire is actually on the verge of danger. Most of the time, the local taxation, superintendents, and militia groups in the provinces are enough to suppress. The local barbarian.

The composition of these people is not entirely Roman citizens, but in the rules of the game, they abide by the order of the Roman government and suppress tens of millions of barbarians in terms of organizational power, making the barbarians themselves unable to exert their power at all.

However, these people will also wait and see. If there is a sudden problem with the headquarters of the Eagle Flag, which represents the Central Guards of Rome, the local power of these provinces may not have changed much at the beginning, but privately, they have to say that there is no Ideas are impossible.

After all, eagle flags, citizens, these things have absorbed most of the nourishment of the Roman Empire. In Rome, all non-citizen classes have a yearning for the civic class. This is the inevitable state of this country, and it is also equivalent to the existence of a certain national centripetal force.

But this is not formed by nature, but maintained by strength. Therefore, the large-scale collapse of the eagle flag, and it is broadcast to the whole of Rome in a live broadcast situation, it is inevitable that many barbarians who had no idea because of the strength of Rome will inevitably make it once again. Give birth to ambition.

Pompianus believes in "the system must have flaws, but a good system can really reduce the possibility of people making mistakes", so now is the time to reduce the possibility of making mistakes by non-citizens in Rome. After all, this decline is worldwide. , Pompianus believed that even if the barbarians were in turmoil, they would not be able to defeat the Roman Empire.

But this is an unnecessary event. What is lost is the strength of the Roman Empire, so it is better to use another method to rectify the problems that may occur.

"This is a factual problem. Of course, the Roman Eagle still has the basis for suppressing all the unrest in Rome." Severu nodded, indicating that he knew this too, but he believed in the power of the Roman Eagle even more. The problem can also be solved by the Roman Legion.

"I believe this too." Pompianus nodded. He is a veteran who truly believes in the power of the Roman Empire. Otherwise, he would not have been carried from the era of Commode to Severus and would continue to serve as the treasury of the Roman Empire. Fill the ground with gold coins.

"But an overly direct approach will cause unnecessary turmoil." After Pompianus agreed with Severus' words, he naturally led in another direction, Severus agreed.

"So we can solve the problem in a more ingenious way. Guishuang's envoys need our help. Before we considered other issues, we were not very interested in them, but now, it is necessary for us to help each other." Pompianus looked at everyone present and said, "The barbarian army may become a hidden danger to Rome, so let's eliminate the hidden danger first."

Because Pompianus had done such things as barbarians such as trading with Guishuang before, other people were not surprised when they heard this statement.

"It doesn't matter whether Tianzhou is a ghost of the Han Dynasty or not, it doesn't really matter. The large-scale demotion of the legion means that we need a cathartic channel, and Guishuang is a very good channel." Pompianus looked serious. Looked at everyone present.

Pompianus sees the problem at a very high level, and the way to solve the problem is also very wonderful, at least now everyone agrees with Pompianus’s view, this is indeed a solution to the problem, and also made a sum of money, more The important thing is to let the Han Shi understand Rome's attitude.

"It is estimated that the Han room would not even condemn us." Pompianus saw the other people's face and understood the expression and slowly said, "Actually, it is not important to condemn or not, and we don't need to think about it. The Roman Empire is responsible for what we people should do."

Others nodded when they heard this. Indeed, for them, being responsible for Rome is what they should do. Other things are not important.

"One more thing, if you have time to pay more attention to the war between the Han Dynasty and the Guishuang War, I am a little worried about the development of the Han Dynasty and the Guishuang War." Pompianus said seriously, "The strength of the Guishuang Empire is not weak. , But the power they can exert is limited. I am a little worried that the Han Dynasty will overthrow the entire Guishuang Empire."

"How is it possible that I have never seen an empire collapse in such a short period of time. To put it bluntly, foreign enemies may be a good thing for the empire." Severus waved his hand and did not say what Pompianus said. Keep it in mind, everyone else is the same.

It is precisely because of the empire war that the people present can understand what a tug-of-war is called. The time from strategic stalemate to strategic counteroffensive may even take a hundred years to calculate.

Without a foreign enemy, an empire might collapse soon, but with a foreign enemy, an empire might live longer. After all, for such a big country that has already stood on the top of the world, the existence of opponents, It is their core to contain internal problems and integrate their own power. If there are no opponents, let's get by.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable, after all, this era has become too fast." Pompianus thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I just say one more thing. I have time to stare at Guishuang, no Time is over. I think we need to go to Guishuang to take part of the barbarians to alleviate the internal problems, and part of the shipbuilding materials will also be taken."

Doing business with Guishuang, Rome has made some money, and it is a big profit. After all, since ancient times, the trade between Europe and India has been quite good for both parties, but Rome had other ideas before, and gave Guishuang. The price is a bit unsatisfactory.

But now that the situation has changed a bit, it is necessary to talk to Guishuang again. Anyway, these things in Rome's hands are indispensable to Guishuang and can be shot at any time.

"That's all I want to say." After Pompianus finished speaking, he looked at other people. The previous speeches have basically determined Rome's strategic direction for Guishuang and the Han Dynasty in the next four or five years, and the rest are all Some minutiae.
