Athens, which successfully joined the 'United Nations', began to publicize China's "International Law" in all aspects. This is also one of the conditions put forward by Bai Dong, no matter how powerful Rome and Sparta are today, no matter how long Athens has been weakened, Athens is still the first influence among the Mediterranean countries.

Bai Dong wanted to use Athens to propagate China's "International Law" and to make those enemies who were trembling under the attack of the Roman United Army understand that joining the United Nations would be their only way out.

In this era of China's territorial expansion, the "principle of pre-emption" is still recognized in the "International Law", and the lands occupied by the coalition forces that have almost reached the Iliad Peninsula will be recognized by the "International Law", and even if the Gauls, Carthaginians, and Iliads express their intention to join the United Nations, these lands will not be returned to them.

This may seem like a bit of bandit logic, but it is a necessary stage in the development of international law, and even two thousand years later, international law must recognize the legitimacy of the use of force before the fifties of the twentieth century. It is precisely because of this principle that the Western Regions of China can be called 'the territory that has belonged to China since ancient times', otherwise the name of a 'new X' is a bit contradictory.

Huaxia and Athens now want to tell these Western countries that I can 'occupy your land first', but I will not cut off your way of life, join the United Nations, and the countries that join the United Nations will be protected by the "International Law" and will not be 'occupied' by others. Of course, if there are people like Carthage who are not enlightened to the death, and the United Army does not mind completely erasing the Carthaginian aristocracy from this world, the 'humanitarianism' advocated in the "International Law" will always protect the common people, not these ill-intentioned ruling classes.

The United Nations will always welcome these Western countries, even the Gauls, who are called barbarians. Although they often do things like slaughtering cities or even creating plagues, it seems heinous. But after all, it was a chaotic move by the West against the enemy, and in the West of this era, there was such a 'glorious tradition' since the Battle of Troy, which was done by the Romans in the obscurantist period, and the Greeks in Homer's epic poems, and it is unfair to blame the Gauls alone. So what was considered a ****** crime in later international law did not apply in Europe at this time.

Only the Spartans were an exception!

This people not only slaughters their enemies, but also their own! And it's your own babies who are slaughtered! Countries like Greece and Rome will convert their enemies into slaves, no matter how harsh they are to slaves, slaves at least have a basic right to live, and Rome has not yet established an arena, nor has it entered the era of crazy killing of slaves. But the Spartans staked their slaves, the Hilots, like wild beasts, and used them as prey for their training of young warriors! It's too vicious to one's own people, to one's enemies, and to the whole world! Such a country is intolerable to Bai Dong, and after Meng Ke heard the story of the Spartans killing babies, he actually overturned the table on the spot. If it weren't for Bai Dong to stop him, he would almost have to go out with his sword, compete with Sun Bin for military power, and then go to exterminate Sparta himself!

Sparta has committed a '****** crime', even if it is to preserve the dignity of international law, China must deal a heavy hand with this fighting nation.

The Athenians, who had been bullied by Sparta, took their Chinese brothers in one hand and began the conscription and mobilization with the other. In just two months, Athens organized five thousand elite young men dressed in the ornate armor depicted in Homer's epic poems. Holding a round shield covered with various patterns and patterns, he conducted a 'military exercise' with the Chinese army.

Most of the current Athenian army was improvised, drawn from among the citizens. The state provided food and water, and these warriors brought their own armor and weapons, as in Mulan's poem, some of which were passed down from their grandfather's generation. This kind of equipment is not to say that it is compared with a strong army like the Qin army and the Wei army, even compared to the army of Lu Song. Sun Bin knew why this city-state, which could mobilize an army of up to 50,000, was bullied than Sparta, which had less than 1,000 citizens.

Such an army makes Sun Bin unable to look directly, what's the use of those beautiful armors? The thin iron armor couldn't even withstand the Qin army's crossbow arrows firing fifty paces away, and the helmet was full of feathers, could it resist the sharp sword of Sparta? That only affects your vision, right? The addition of these Athenian armies would only drag down the Chinese army. There is no positive meaning at all!

After a 'military exercise', 5,000 Athenian elites were defeated by 3,000 Lu troops, and they didn't even hold out for two hours! Sun Bin shook his head into a rattle at that time, he had a hand in training the army, but he did not have the energy to help the Athenians train the army. It would be better to refuse them to join the army that conquered Sparta.

Jays stopped doing it at that time, how could such a major event as the conquest of Sparta not involve the Athenian army? Does he, the chief general, still have face? What's more, with the military strength displayed by Huaxia, even if the Spartans are really protected by Kratos, the god of war, this time will be finished, and the glory of Athena must shine on Sparta! To divide the land and slaves of Sparta, Athens had to participate in this war!

"The warriors of Athens must stand on the land of Sparta!"

Jia Aisi clenched his fists in front of Bai Dong and Sun Bin, indicating how resolute he was, and this matter was not negotiable.

"Senior Brother Sun, you're right, 'war is not a dinner party', uh, didn't I say that? However, this Athens is now also a member of the United Nations, and Athens naturally has the right and obligation to send troops to Sparta, which has committed '****** crimes'. Of course, I don't distrust my brother's judgment, but war is one thing, politics is another; Senior brother doesn't have to insist, Jays will personally lead these 5,000 Athenian warriors to attack Sparta, and send troops with his senior brother in two ways, even if he is defeated, this is not a defeat to the Spartans, is it? By the way, I don't know if my brother has a strategy? ”

Seeing that Sun Bin did not object again, Bai Dong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly diverted the topic.

"The citizens of Sparta are only 1,000, and even if the whole country gathers only 5,000 troops, the strongest one is the Spartan city-state alliance. Although our army is strong, it is not familiar with the terrain and does not adapt to the water and soil, so it is not advisable to go all the way south from Athens. Therefore, our army should go out from the sea, go straight through the hot springs, take Sparta first, and Sparta will break the city-state."

"That is, the thief captures the king first?"

Bai Dong smiled slightly, senior brother thought of it with himself. At that time, the god king Xerxes also marched from the sea and took the hot spring pass, but at that time, because Athens was not down, Xerxes thought that Athens had many soldiers and a strong navy, so he wanted to choose a 'soft persimmon' to pinch, but he didn't expect to suffer heavy losses in the hot spring pass. Sun Bin wanted to capture the thief and capture the king, quickly take Sparta, and let the Peloponnesian League quickly collapse.

"It's a good thief to capture the king first, and the junior brother is really a master of the art of war." Sun Bin nodded and said: "However, the terrain of Hot Spring Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the army to unfold, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle, since the chief general insists on sending troops, it is better for the general to lead the army to feint against the Spartan Southern Alliance, and our army will raid Hot Spring Pass from the sea, then the big thing can be done."

To put it bluntly, Sun Bin still doesn't trust the Athenian army, since you, Jays, insist on sending troops, then it's better to be a scarecrow, and it's better than nothing. (To be continued.) )
