Seven hundred and eighty-four. Changes in the base
Caesar's worries were unnecessary, and his request for negotiation was exactly what Wang Weiyi, who had just returned to the Germanic camp, was eager to see.
He provoked all this for the sole purpose of buying time for the Germanic people as much as possible, and making his own efforts for the growth of the Germanic people as much as possible.
Because of this, when Gaius, who was Caesar's messenger, appeared, the Germanic people who had suffered greatly from Gaius in the past all shouted to kill him, but Wang Weiyi decided to stop their attempt.
He needs Gaius, a man who will play a very important role in his whole plan!
"Did you arrange all this? My dear friend? When he got rid of the terrifying, almost killing eyes of the barbarians, Gaius asked with a sigh of relief.
Wang Weiyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I arranged it all, not only that, but I also helped you make the most appropriate arrangements." ”
This aroused Gaius's great interest.
"I suppose Caesar must have sent you to negotiate with me." There was no need for the other party to say anything, Wang Weiyi had already helped him out: "He has decided to refuse the call of the Senate, but before that, he has made sure that we will not attack Gaul, so that he can enter Rome without any worries." ”
"I can't hide anything from you, Ernst." Gaius nodded: "That's what Caesar did, and at the same time, he'll let me stay here and guard Gaul for him." What do you think? Would you like to negotiate with us? ”
"Of course, my friend." Wang Weiyi's smile was even brighter: "If I don't attack Gaul." My request was also very simple, all the Romans evacuated the Germanic ......"
"Oh, I'm afraid that's a bit excessive." Gaius hesitated, "I don't think Caesar will agree." ”
"Why don't you agree?" Wang Weiyi said nonchalantly: "Since the Germanic uprising. In fact, there are not many Roman soldiers left in the Germans, and we have every way to annihilate them all, and it is good for you to agree to this. Was Caesar really going to let all these Romans die in Germania? ”
Gaius thought about it carefully, and maybe what the other party said was reasonable. After the great Germanic revolt, Caesar did not dare to stay here, although he was suppressed by Caesar. It soon retreated to Gaul, leaving only a very small number of troops here. And these forces are simply vulnerable in front of the current barbarians.
He weighed the pros and cons: "Well, I'll do my best to convince Caesar about this." What about the others? ”
"All the taxes imposed on us by the Romans, we will refuse to pay." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Germania must be a completely free land, and we will be responsible for everything here." And when you have agreed to all my terms, you must sign an agreement for ten years. Use the most just way to make sure we don't get hurt. ”
Agreement? Sign an agreement with the barbarians? It's incredible.
Wang Weiyi must need such an agreement...... In this day and age. Nothing is more sacred than a contract, and even Caesar would never dare to tear any contract up easily. It's going to be disgraceful.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time, Ernst, my closest friend......"
Before Gaius said this, Wang Weiyi had already said: "This will not make you feel embarrassed, you can tell Caesar when you go back, as long as he is willing to sign this agreement." Then not only will we not attack Gaul, but the Gauls will not revolt while Caesar's army is not in revolt. We will also provide very urgent assistance when necessary! ”
Gaius's heart was immediately moved, and if the barbarians could really do what they said, then he would have gained a very advantageous and reliable ally by exercising power here in place of Caesar.
Wang Weiyi suddenly said: "Next, it's time to talk about what benefits you can get......
Gaius suddenly gathered his spirits, and he listened to Wang Weiyi say: "Assuming that Caesar can win, then even if your allies participate in the war against Rome, Caesar will definitely appoint you as the new governor of Gaul by virtue of your contribution to his stabilization of Gaul, isn't this what you dream of?" But what if Caesar failed? I don't think you need to worry, I've got everything laid out for you in Rome, and all the senators know about your loyalty to Rome, and I think your other friend, Elder Orvis, has already told you about that......"
Gaius nodded slowly, yes, Gaius had told himself these things.
Ernst was not lying, his trip to Rome had already arranged everything for himself.
When he heard this, Gaius no longer hesitated: "Ernst, I will tell Caesar all your demands, not a word, and I can promise to do my best to persuade Caesar to accept your demands." ”
"I await the good news." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
When Gaius left, Richthofen was a little confused: "Ernst, isn't Caesar's departure a good thing for us?" We can take advantage of this time to attack Caesar. ”
"That's not a wise thing to do." Wang Weiyi shook his head: "Although Pompey and the Senate are jealous of Caesar, if we take advantage of his absence to attack Gaul, then we will definitely make the Romans stop all the civil war and unite against us again." After all, Gaul was too important for Rome. With the current strength of Germain, it is definitely not a combined Roman opponent......"
Richthofen nodded thoughtfully: "But if there is a ten-year agreement as a period of peace, in terms of the unity and fighting spirit of the Germanic people, they will become the greatest enemy of Rome." ”
"Yes, even the Germans no longer need us." Wang Weiyi muttered: "In another period of history, after the Germanic people had passed a painful period of Roman rule, they would soon awaken. No longer being subordinate to Rome gave the Romans an incomparable headache. And what we are doing is nothing more than accelerating this period of history. Right now. Our purpose has been achieved, and the only purpose we have stayed here is probably to see the Germanic people grow in earnest. ”
Richthofen sighed softly, yes, what could be happier than to see the Germanic people mighty with their own eyes?
"Rambler, I hope you'll be able to get back to base right away, something is going on here......"
At this time. Xiao Ling's words interrupted the conversation between Wang Weiyi and Richthofen.
The two men glanced at each other and stood up in unison.......
......
Purple military base.
When Wang Weiyi and several people appeared, the people in the base greeted them at the same time. Xiao Ling-Sophie-or Su Ling's community is a little urgent: "Rambler, the base is starting to operate on its own!" ”
"What, self-running?" Wang Weiyi was taken aback.
He had gradually gained control of the base, but then something unusual had happened. First, the "Y" element produced an unexpectedly violent reaction. They came to the time of ancient Rome. And now it's starting to function on its own again?
"Can you control it?" Wang Weiyi asked with a frown.
"I'm trying, but I can't guarantee it." Su Ling's expression was also full of worry: "Very strange thing, from my analysis, the base seems to have a premonition of something happening in a certain time and space, and it is extremely eager to activate the 'Y' element for a new time and space travel, and the reaction is so fierce that I can't even start it." ”
"You mean, the base has a life of its own?" Wang Weiyi felt a little incredible.
"You can say that, but it's not quite accurate." Su Ling's words had never been so uncertain: "I don't understand why at all. But what I do know for sure is that a new crossing may soon begin to ......"
"Soon? How long exactly? Wang Weiyi felt more and more weird.
"Maybe a month later. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now......" Su Ling's answer was still so ambiguous: "But what I can be sure of is that I can guarantee that you will successfully evacuate this era." ”
The people in the base looked at each other, none of them knew what was going on in the other time and space that Su Ling said. They didn't know how the Dao base sensed it.
"Leave that at that." Wang Weiyi let out a long breath: "Xiaoling, you keep a close eye on what is happening here, and tell me as soon as there is a new situation." Leonie, you're still the butler with Depsie. Videlio the butler stays here. The rest of the people, returning to the Germanic tribes, as soon as possible to leave some valuable wealth to the Germans, and at the same time ready to retreat. ”
He, like his companions, also didn't know what would happen to Lu Dao in the future. What will even happen tomorrow when you open your eyes. But the only thing he can be sure of is that he must do more for the Germans before leaving.
This is probably the responsibility of coming to this era.
It's just that a premonition that is not very good is quietly appearing in Wang Weiyi's heart.
He found that Germany had always been an unavoidable central point in his several crossings, could it be that the crisis sensed by the base also happened in Germany?
If that's the case, what would be the kind of thing that even the base is worried about......
......
Up to this time, the Germanic tribes were unaware of the Archon Ernst, who had brought them countless glory. Bram may be leaving them tomorrow.
Although they did not quite understand why the consuls wanted to make an alliance with the Romans, they believed in what the consuls did.
Without the consuls, they would still be oppressed and humiliated by the Romans......
Wang Weiyi did not show any abnormalities in front of this kind of Germanic people, and he still commanded them as always, perfecting everything in the Germanic Grand League.
Seeing the consul appear, Anliugues and Heilman came to him excitedly: "Dear consul, thank you for the training of our warriors, we are now fully capable of fighting the Romans. At your command, we will cross the Rhine and kill the arrogant Romans. ”
"Not yet." Wang Weiyi smiled and said to his friends: "We also have to strengthen ourselves. Sooner or later, the Romans will be defeated by us, and that will be the end of Rome's glory. As for you. Heilman. ”
Wang Weiyi set his eyes on Heilman, a native of Cherusi: "I predict that you will get a son in the future, and this son will bring you supreme glory!" ”
When they heard the Archon say the "prophecy", the surrounding Germans quickly fell to their knees and listened respectfully to the Archon's words word by word:
"I prophesied that Heilmann would have a son in the future and that the Germans would have a strong leader. Lead you to defeat the Romans once and for all! The name of this child will be called Arminius, he. It will be the leader of the Germanic peoples who will become stronger! ”
He spoke the name of Arminius, the future hero of the Germanic people, even though he had not yet been born.
Arminius, a Germanic who defeated Rome and won the Battle of the Teutonic Forest, made the Germans strong. The hero who brought the Roman Empire to its weakness!
Battle of the Teutonic Forest. It was the famous war that took place in 9 AD. The Roman Empire, under the rule of Emperor Augustus, attempted to conquer the Germanic peoples, but in that battle the Germans, under the command of their illustrious leader Arminius, lured the enemy deeper and annihilated three Roman legions led by Varus in the dense Black Forest, thus defending the independence of the Germanic peoples. It is said that when Octavian. Augustus was so distressed by the news of the total destruction of the Roman legions that he tore his robes, slammed his head against the wall, and shouted: "Varus! Give me back the legion! From then on, the Roman Empire gave up its attempt to conquer Germania and could only rule by rowing the Rhine with the Germans.
Three legions of Varus. It was the main barrier between Germania and Rome, if the Germans took advantage of the victory to march on Rome. He will have no troops available.
Just in case, Augustus ordered the immediate recruitment of an army. The Romans were now accustomed to a comfortable life, no one wanted to die, and after a few days, no one answered. As a last resort, Augusta ordered conscription, one out of ten for men under the age of thirty-five, and one out of fifteen for those over thirty-five, and those who resisted disobedience had no property. Even so, not many people have come forward. Augusta was furious and killed a group of people who resisted military service. In the end, Tiberius rushed back, recruited retired veterans as the backbone, and then liberated a group of slaves to join the army, so that they could barely make up two legions.
Thankfully, the Germans didn't fight. After learning from the painful experience, Augustus decided to use the Rhine as the boundary and row the river with the Germans to rule. The expansion of the Roman Empire ended there, and the next four hundred years were spent trying to hold it. Since then, the Roman army has crossed the Rhine several times in revenge, invaded Germania, and fought against the Alminian coalition, but has never been able to reconquer this unruly people.
Wang Weiyi knew this period of history very well, and he knew that the future Germanic hero Arminius was the son of Heilmann in front of him.
When the consul had finished the prophecy, the Germanic people stood up, and when they looked at Heilmann again, the look in their eyes had completely changed.
Even Heilman himself was filled with excitement and pride.
Like the Romans, the Germanic peoples believed in the power of prophecy, especially the "prophecies" uttered by the consuls.
How can I really have such a son in the future, and what is there to regret?
Wang Weiyi called Heilman aside: "Heilmann, if the Romans really invade again, and I am not there, how will you meet those Romans?" ”
Heilman was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Wang Weiyi helped him continue: "The feasible plan is to use the special terrain to fight an ambush war. In order to prevent the Romans from discovering your intentions, you and other tribal leaders must often visit the Roman generals to show their submission. You can even invite the Romans to arbitrate disputes between the tribes. The Romans will definitely fall for it, and the time will be ripe...... At the same time, the decisive battle had to be decided in the autumn, when the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate due to the continuous torrential rains. The Roman army relied heavily on logistics, and under such conditions the mobility of the march would be greatly limited. There is only one such location, and that is the Teutonic Forest ......"
The Teutonic Forest is located in the north-west of the country in the county of Lieber, and this name has been preserved to this day. The Teutonic Forest is a highland with river valleys running through it. The terrain is very undulating, and many roads run through the canyon. There are tall and dense oak forests with few shrubs, and people and horses can walk through the forests unhindered.
Wang Weiyi unreservedly said everything he knew, because the future battle of the Teutonic Forest would be a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the Germans and the Romans!
Although Heilman didn't know what the Archon had to say to him, he tried to memorize every word the Archon said.
For the consul told him, "Write it down, and leave not a word out, and tell your son in the future, and tell him all that you know about the Word, and it will bring you great glory." ”
Heilman was convinced that the Archon would not say such things for no reason, and that he must have had his own reasons for doing so.
After explaining these things, Wang Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Heilman, I've finished what I should say, you can't forget for a moment that you will be proud of your son in the future." ”
"But I'd be more willing to fight the Romans under your command!" (To be continued......)
