The economic strategy of the Great Jin in the world was mainly to maintain the hegemony of the empire and obtain sufficient food and industrial raw materials. And with these things, the industry of the Great Jin Dynasty will develop rapidly. In order to achieve the purpose of dumping goods to other countries, the only one that could compete with the Great Jin in this year was the Roman Empire.

Although the Romans were technically much different from the Great Jin, after all, this was a country with a complete system, so after more than half a year of hard work, the Romans finally realized the 'localization' of firearms. Although the quality and output are not as good as those of the Great Jin, it also gives the Romans a lot of confidence.

However, the output of the Romans is not to be spoken, that is, they themselves are not enough, so it is the Great Jin Empire that supports the war between Rome and Persia, and the weapons and other materials produced by the empire can support the consumption of the entire battlefield.

"Your Majesty, now in Qingdao, Quanzhou and other ports, all kinds of materials have begun to be loaded on ships, and they will arrive in the Persian Gulf in a few days, and then directly enter Persia proper. In addition to military supplies, there is also a considerable amount of civilian goods! In the Jiade Palace, Zhang Bin, the first assistant of the cabinet, thought about the head of Sima Shu and reported.

At the end of the war, the Persians not only needed weapons, but also needed a large number of civilian materials, especially food. The war not only caused heavy casualties to the Persians and Romans, but also greatly damaged the agricultural production of the two countries. The Romans are better, their national strength is stronger than the Persians, and looking at the current Persians, they can't even support the most basic living material security.

"It's good, as long as the other party is willing to fight. We will give them as much food and weapons as they want! Sima Shu said excitedly that war is the easiest way to weaken a country's strength, and the empire will never set after two wars.

Just as the monarchs and ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty were calculating Rome and Persia, they saw Meng Guan, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside, and he handed over an urgent report to Zu Ti with a serious face, and then told everyone present a shocking news, "Your Majesty, my lords, Persia and Rome have ceased war!" ”

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed, and even Sima Shu was shocked. Obviously, he did not expect that Persia and Rome, which were feuding with each other, would actually cease war. It seems that neither Rome nor Persia are fools, and they obviously saw through the Great Jin's attempt to reap the benefits.

Sima Shu believed that as long as the news of the armistice agreement between Rome and Persia came out, it would definitely cause a great sensation within the Great Jin Dynasty. After all, many factories are pointing at both sides to live, and once the war stops. Many factories in China will be affected. This is especially true for industries that are closely linked to the military industry.

By this time. Almost everyone knows that Rome and Persia must have not only signed an armistice, but that the two sides may have already reached a cooperation agreement. Even the two have become allies.

"It seems that the threat we are giving them is too great!" Sima Shu laughed self-deprecatingly, in fact, he did not know that as early as the end of last year, Constantine the Great had a secret meeting with Psudore.

Pusidore unceremoniously accused the Great Jin in front of the Romans, "The Jin people premeditated to provoke this great war, and then hid aside, but watched our two countries fight to the death!" ”

Emperor Constantine agreed, "The Jin people are from the East, and Rome and Persia are the countries of the West, so there is no need for us to fight like this anymore, otherwise the profit will definitely be the Jin people!" ”

In this meeting, Constantine the Great and Psecidore were willing to take a step back and put an end to this damned war. Soon the two countries reached a peace agreement, and Persia withdrew from Rome on its own initiative, with the exception of Armenia.

"Forget it, we have expected this situation for a long time anyway, the Romans and Persians are not fools, maybe they will not be aware of it at first, but it may be said after a long time. Although the war ended a little early, it can be regarded as achieving the goal of weakening the West. Sima Shu looked at the huge world map on the inner wall of the Gard Hall.

The Privy Envoy Zu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although the war between the Romans and the Persians is over, the wounds caused are not so easy to heal. The war caused nearly 400,000 casualties on both sides, and the two countries did not want to return to their pre-war levels in a short period of time. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that we might as well further increase our assistance to Hormizd III on the basis of the original plan, not only with the support of various weapons, but also in other aspects, so as to make him have the strength to threaten Psidor in the shortest possible time."

Shoufu Zhang Bin shook his head when he heard this: "In this way, wouldn't it be clear that we want to turn against the Persians, and this kind of thing is what we have always tried to avoid, at least we don't have the strength to start a war with Persia in the river for five years." A war in the Western Regions will be enough for us to feel the difficulties of logistical supply, and if we go to war with the mighty Persia farther west, then we will ......."

"Besides, although Persia is now crippled, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Persia is not Shile, nor is it one of those small countries on Indochina. In addition, the Romans will not watch us destroy Persia, and perhaps the other side will side with Persia. In this way, the Great Jin will have to single out the two major Western powers, and the pressure we will face will be too great. ”

"Are we just watching Persia and Rome lick their wounds? These two countries have well-developed social systems, and if they are given a little respite, they will recover quickly. If we don't do it now, it will be even more difficult in the future. Zu Ti obviously disagreed with Zhang Bin's statement, he always believed that his own side was difficult, and the enemy was even more difficult, and the Great Jin at this time may not have the strength to fight with Persia and Rome.

The ministers present were engaged in a heated debate about the post-war strategy, and Sima Shu did not speak at first, but listened carefully to the suggestions of the ministers. In his heart, he was still inclined to Zhang Bin's advice, and he had always advocated steady and steady opposition to military adventures.

Hezhong has just been incorporated into the Great Jin Dynasty, and various places have not yet been fully annexed, especially the road construction has just been rolled out. Once completed, this cement road will become the key to the empire's control of the Western Regions and Hezhong, and it will also be the logistical guarantee for the army's future operations in West Asia.

"Alright, don't argue, everybody!" As soon as Sima Shu spoke, everyone present immediately fell silent, and all looked at the emperor on the throne.

"Shizhi and Mengsun are both very reasonable, just as Mengsun said, at least for five years we will not be able to compete with Persia for West Asia. But we can't let the Persians regain their strength, and our assistance to Hormizd III needs to be strengthened, but we have to do it secretly. I have an idea that we should transfer Hormizd III to the northwest of Tocharo, where there are many local tribes, and let him develop there. In the future, the Persians will know, and we will have an excuse not to! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Sima Shu had always wanted to do it, so immediately after the meeting, he provided Hormizd III with military aid enough to arm an army of 50,000 through his cabinet, including some horizontal knives, muskets, sabers, war horses, food and other supplies. In this way, basically as long as Hormizd III could capture a captive, he would have enough weapons to arm him.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of Hormizd III, the Great Jin even provided him with some light artillery, with which he could at least gain a firm foothold under the attack of Persia.

In order to further strengthen the strength of Hormizd III, on April 20, after intense secret diplomatic negotiations, the Great Jin provided more than 100 light artillery pieces for free, in exchange for a promise from the only military ally of the Great Jin currently in Western Asia: they would launch a large-scale military invasion of Persia in the next time!

Hormizd III, as the prince of Persia, has been obsessed with returning to China to seize the throne of Persia since his exile in the Great Jin Dynasty. When he came to Dajin, he didn't expect to return to his hometown so soon. At the beginning, in order to win the support of the Great Jin, Holmizd III can be said to have jumped up and down. At the same time, Hormizd III sent dozens of officers to follow him into the Great Jin Military Academy to study.

As a Hormizd who received the influence of the military ideology of the Great Jin Dynasty, although the number of his troops was small, his combat effectiveness could not be ignored. After receiving a large amount of material support from the Great Jin, he acted quickly, and this time he saw that the Persian throne was in front of him, and it was up to him to see if he could win it.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, we don't have a good heart for such a large-scale armament in the Great Jin!" Arhan said worriedly.

"So what? Do we have a choice? Holmizd III showed a wry smile and said, yes, Holmizd III has no choice, and he has no choice since the day he entered the Jade Gate Pass.

"The Jin people just want this prince to contain the development of Persia, and you have also seen that before the construction of the Great Jin in the river is completed, they are afraid that they will not start a war with Persia. But they didn't want Persia to develop, so they had to let us out. Hum! However, this prince is not easy to mess with, as long as we can take Persia in a short time, there is still a possibility of a long and short time with the Great Jin in the future! ”

"Alas, I knew that the Jin people were so harboring evil intentions, and the old minister should not have persuaded His Highness to come down to the Great Jin Dynasty. Maybe we're better in Rome than we are now! Arhan said with a look of remorse.

"Eh, how can I blame you for this! Besides, Prince Ben does not regret coming to Dajin, although Dajin took advantage of us, but they also helped us, without Dajin, how can we have the opportunity to return to Persia now? During this period of time in the Great Jin, Prince Ben understood that you don't have the strength to deserve to be used by others! ”
