Chapter 81 (I)

Sun Shengren's art of war said: "The husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More is better than nothing! ”

That is to say, before the battle has even begun, the size of the winning surface has been planned and measured in the command headquarters, and after a more objective calculation and comparison, it is expected that the victory can be achieved, and the winning surface will be large; If it is not expected to win or be evenly matched, the chances of winning are small. Therefore, "more is better than nothing!" "The plan is to know each other and know oneself, and not to be defeated in a hundred battles.

The Germanic-Gallic War, in essence, was a continuation of the struggle between Macedonia and Rome. The Greek-Aegean civilization collided with the Roman and Latin civilizations, and the strong met their opponents. It is definitely another fierce all-round struggle, the so-called comprehensive, wise, and brave. The Romans were shrewd and sincere, and the Macedonians were wise and brave. Rome gathered allies and deployed them well; The Macedonians do not ask how many enemies there are, only where they are. It is the soldiers who will block it, and the water will cover the danger without chaos.

Gaul and Germania were originally barbarian states, lagging behind Macedonia in both military strength and combat philosophy. But now, with the support and coordination of the Romans behind the scenes, coupled with their excellent intelligence and espionage skills, they have integrated Germania and Gaul into a ruthless war machine.

In addition, the barbarian alliance in Western Europe has one major advantage, that is, the large number of troops. This is called military strength in the form of military strength. If you have more soldiers, you can mobilize more chips and can withstand attrition. Those who make good use of soldiers, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and multiple will divide it. If the side with sufficient soldiers can govern the crowd as the widow, and fight the crowd as the widow. Then the more soldiers and horses in command, the better.

In the era of cold weapons, the two armies faced each other. It is advantageous to pay the most attention to the momentum and oppression, and it is advantageous to make your side look fierce and numerous. If the other party wants to win, the only way to overcome the fear in his heart is to rely on his real skills.

This time, in the face of the locust-like Gallic barbarians, the Macedonians had to show the courage to defeat ten. The key to winning lies in how the Macedonians use their strengths. The Macedonian army has always been about quality, whether it is the preparation of weapons or the training of soldiers. At that time, Alexander the Great commanded 40,000 Macedonian elite soldiers to meet the Persian army known as one million. It is the result of the proper use of the military posture and military form.

The successors of Later Macedonia must study and appreciate the true meaning in order to carry forward the phalanx and cavalry and catch up with the pace of their predecessors.

Rome seems to have lost most of its physical strength, but its powerful spirit has taken control of other people's bodies. It accumulates its strength only for a full blow. Gaul and Germania were kept in the dark and exploited by others. It's like two simple-minded, muscular big men who just need to fight to vent their excess energy.

The development of society in Gaul was in the stage of primitive social decomposition, with the clan nobility owning a large amount of land and livestock, and the bankrupt commoners had to rely on the clan powers. Their society is deeply unfair, turbulent and oppressive, disregarding human life, and the naked darkness of the scene is close to the animal world. The social situation in Germania was similar, if not worse. In that isolated Germanian Black Forest, their progress was driven by Gaul and Dacia, and the degree of development can be imagined.

Don't ask how these two countries can afford to assemble such a large coalition army. Some of the clan nobles were slaves like livestock, and it was cheap to form a common-class brute army.

There wasn't much training, just simple gear. Their armies are closer to the higher beasts, and they are more cruel than anyone else; And when the fear spreads, it collapses faster than anyone else. Discipline is such a thing, hehe, who cares! The ferocity and fragility of the barbarian army are extreme.

The Romans didn't care how much the Gallic or Germanic armies and soldiers were worth, they cared about the restoration of Rome's native territory. If only the Carthaginians could join their side, it would be easier to regain the lost territory with the help of a strong navy. Their attempts did not meet with a positive response. The Carthaginians ignored it, and these smiling merchants had their own plans.

Taking a step back, if the Carthaginians did step in and sail a powerful fleet into the Adriatic. Maritime transport between mainland Macedonia and Rome is bound to be significantly affected. Will the king of Rome hold up?

After the death of Antigones, Aloyos became the master of Latin Rome. The man who could rule this Roman land on behalf of the Macedonian crown was Aloyos at the moment. In Rome, his personal influence and charisma were great, and the Roman people were willing to submit to him, and Aloyos was a veritable king of Rome. The reason for this is not only his status as a conqueror and his charisma, but also because of Aloyos' conscientious and hard work.

Aloyos upheld the legacy of his predecessors and pacified the new people. When he came to Rome, he was not in a hurry to disparage the local culture and exalt Greek culture to the fullest. Instead, they follow the cultural customs of Rome, actively discover the advantages of foreign cultures, and learn to absorb the essence of them.

He once said, "I have found that there are many aspects of Roman culture that are more advanced than Greek culture, and we need to merge and merge in order to pursue a higher truth." This alone was recognized and praised by many locals in the early days. His wife, Venus, helped him a lot in this regard.

Then Aloyos continued the good selection system, that is, the principle of not asking about origin, not sticking to formality, and only seeking talent. In other words, not only did the Romans have equal social status, but Macedonia would select virtuous people to grant them official positions and motivate the people to strive for progress.

Seeing the local people live and work in peace and contentment, they rebuild their homes. To make up for the wounds of the previous war, Aloyos issued a new policy. The regions of Rome were given a one-year no-endowment decree, that is, the area that was taken was amnesty for the year to be exempted from taxes at the gates and markets, and the ban on the mountains was opened. Since then, all walks of life have flourished. In the five years of the New Deal, Latin Rome surpassed the economic level of the period of native rule. The people are prosperous and live happily and well-being.

Gueras proclaimed, "May the world be peaceful and happy." "The standard of living in Rome is the best performed.

Material improvements are achieved, collective ideas are built through joint action, and a cohesive cohesion is formed within the kingdom. Aloyos successively issued three or five decrees to organize the people for the construction of public affairs. And the people of Rome were enthusiastic and actively participated in it. In the common cause, it is possible to select organizational and managerial talents, and it is also possible to distinguish between virtuous and unvirtuous people.

The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. If there are no rules, there is no circle, these words are classics, and the truth is profound.
