Chapter 631 [Under the Chinese Concession] Second Update
"No way, Rome will not accept such an unfair contract!"
"Huaxia people are not real friends, and real friends will not make such a request!"
"They're robbers!"
"The great Rome must not tolerate such bullying, I am against it!"
"Against!"
Not long after Quintus jumped, the entire Senate exploded, and the three hundred Roman senators clucked like three hundred hens that had laid eggs, and their eyes could almost kill!
What are you kidding, you don't have to follow Roman law in Roman land? And there were magistrates and magistrates, so that they were going to divide the land of Rome? Chilchei is different from the barren land of the Gauls, it is the golden rooster of Rome, the golden rooster that can lay golden eggs!
Bai Dong glanced at the surging Roman elders and didn't say anything, but Jing Jian got up and said: "We have an army of 100,000 outside the city of Rome, and there are dozens of millions of troops gathering towards Persia, ready to cross the sea at any time!" ”
The Senate suddenly became silent, and a pin drop could be heard.
Glancing at these Roman elders, Bai Dong nodded and said, "Brother Jing is right, using force to make people surrender is the most hated thing for the Chinese people, but the consuls and the elders should think about the 100,000 athletes who went to Rome for me?" They left their hometown, crossed the sea, and came to this foreign land to shed their blood, but they couldn't get a port for China, how could they be embarrassed? There are many angry men in the army, I am not a general who leads the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control."
"Bai Zi has a point, but can this lease be shorter?"
For a country like Rome, which was founded on conquest, bullying was a matter of course. Therefore, after Jing Jian threatened, the elders were only shocked. I didn't feel much humiliation. On the contrary, I felt that this should be the case, and if Rome had a hundred legions, I was afraid that the conditions proposed would be even more amazing.
It's just that 500 years is too long, and Quintus still has to fight for the day.
"There are 100,000 of us outside Rome"
Jing Jian was addicted to joking, but was interrupted by Bai Dong raising his hand: "Our Huaxia is a country of etiquette, how can we threaten friends like this?" The consul and the first elder, Brother Jing is just a joke, Huaxia never does anything to overwhelm people. We might as well make a trade, too. ”
"China's eyes are not on the Mediterranean countries, but on the vast oceans further west, so we need a stable West, a sea route that is safe and controllable enough. But now the West is really too chaotic, there are Romans, Gauls, Greeks, Carthaginians I don't have the energy to deal with one by one, so the easiest way is to find the most reliable friends in the West, Rome is one of them. ”
"Now Rome and Greece are the most powerful countries in the West, Rome is strong in cohesion, but the Greek city-states are strong in looseness and resilience. So Rome and Greece are our chosen friends at the moment. If Rome can show enough sincerity, China will help you sweep away the Gauls, Carthaginians, and Iberians, and let the glory of Rome shine throughout the Mediterranean. How about becoming a great country that can compete with Greece? ”
"With just one Chilcheyi's loan, you can get such a big benefit? Distinguished friend from the East, are you serious? ”
Quintus's eyes were about to turn red, it was very difficult for Rome to develop south and east, the Greeks who had defeated the Persian Empire three times in a row made Rome deeply jealous, and Rome, which professed itself as a descendant of Troy and was inseparable from Greek civilization, did indeed have a great affection for Greece now and did not want to go to war with Greece. In this way, Rome can only develop to the north and west, but in the north there are fierce Gauls and Celts, and to the west there are Carthaginian and Iberians.
It would have been wonderful if there had been the help of the Chinese, as Quintus had a dynamic map of Rome expanding from the Apennine Peninsula to the north and west to the coveted Iberian Peninsula
Because he was so excited, Quintus called his friend for the first time, you must know that since Bai Dong entered the Senate, he has called each other 'Baizi' and 'Marquis of the East' very seriously.
"Hehe, Your Excellency the First Elder is really calculating. How is this possible! To help Rome sweep away these enemies and expand its territory into the Iberian Peninsula, Huaxia does not know how much it will cost, so Huaxia must exchange enough benefits, otherwise I will be scolded by the Chinese people as a traitor. “
Bai Dong raised four fingers: "So the book has to put forward four conditions." First, the essence of conquest is to bring civilization and a more stable life, but it is not the same as race~extermination, so we want to occupy the land, but not completely unrestrained killing. Rome could classify foreign prisoners of war as slaves, but not foreign civilians. ”
Marcus and Quintus thought about it and did not object to this condition, the current Rome had not yet entered the age of a powerful empire, and all alien races could be classified as slaves.
"Second, the enlarged territory of Rome should be divided into two categories: native and colonial, that is, the Apennine Peninsula should first be divided into Roman proper, and all the interests of the native land should belong to Rome; The other colonies should be governed by the interests of China, Greece and Rome."
Marcus frowned: "Why do you want to do this?" I can understand that China shared the benefits of the colonies, but why did it cheapen the Greeks? ”
Being able to control the whole of the Apennines was enough for the Romans to rejoice at this stage, and the Romans didn't have much to object to in the setting of the native and colonial areas, and Marcus just didn't understand why Bai Dong wanted to give the Greeks a benefit. As the consul of Rome, he had to show his attitude, after all, it was he who 'introduced' the Chinese army.
"Just for me to see Greece, for the sake of ninety percent of Roman civilization originated in Greece, is that okay?"
The emperors of the East weighed the art of the Romans, but they were afraid that they couldn't imagine it, after all, China was far away from Europe, even if Bai Dong wanted to colonize Europe, he had to cultivate two evenly matched countries to ensure the best interests of China, which is why Bai Dong wanted to pull Greece.
"Of course it's okay for Baizi to insist like this."
In any case, they can't let go of the opportunity for Rome to develop and grow, Marcus and Quintus have already decided that as long as Bai Dong does not fight Rome's native ideas, he must agree to any kind of questions raised.
"The third condition, the Iberian Peninsula must belong to China, and Rome and Greece will pay enough resources to help China build one or two large seaports at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, of course, if Rome's resources are not enough, China will also mobilize certain resources to assist, you must agree to this condition, otherwise there will be no basis for negotiation."
"Where are the Iberians located? There is no problem with this one at all, and from now on it belongs to Huaxia. However, although there is a strait through the open sea, it does not make any sense, and if you want to go to Li Xuan Shanda, you only need to cross the Aegean Sea. ”
"Hehe, I have my own plans, so the Archon and the First Elder don't need to ask more. Now to our last condition. Huaxia thinks that Rome needs a dictator, and we Orientals call it the Emperor! ”
Marcus didn't feel refreshed, and finally waited! (To be continued.) )
