- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)

After successfully completing his mission with his first expedition, Caesar was not proud, but devoted all his time and energy to pacifying the Lovosice tribe after winning a great victory; This scene especially made Rabinus and others emotional.

As early as when Flavis forced Rabinus and the others to swear allegiance to Caesar, although Rabinus and the others swore allegiance to Caesar under the orders of Flavis, Rabinus and the others still had many doubts in their hearts; It was not easy for Flavies to break the Roman aristocratic tradition of family heirship and to elevate the young Caesar to the position of head of the family.

Putting aside the great resistance within the Julius family, even Caesar himself was not necessarily a qualified family leader; No matter how smart Caesar was now, he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old kid after all, and he didn't have the ability to be the leader of the Julius family.

Even if it is the body of Ephravis, he can live for another ten years, and he will always protect Caesar during this ten years, ensuring that Caesar will definitely sit as the leader of the Julius family; But who can guarantee Caesar's ability to lead the House of Julius into a more powerful future?

The Oscar of the Augustan family is indeed a very successful example and a typical genius; But can Caesar of the House of Julius be compared to the Oscar of the House of Augustus? In this regard, the three Rabinus all have reservations.

This time, Caesar served as the main general to go to the Poheim region, which was an opportunity for Flavis to give Caesar to accumulate experience, and it was also a test for Caesar by Rabinus and the other three in their hearts; If Caesar behaves well, Rabinus and the others will naturally not mind fulfilling their promises, being loyal to Caesar, and assisting Caesar to ascend to the throne of the family leader.

If Caesar's performance is very unsatisfactory, then Rabinus and others will put the future of the Julius family first, and advise Flavis to give up his cultivation and high hopes for Caesar.

As it turned out, Caesar's performance far exceeded the psychological expectations of Rabinus and the other three; Whether it was mingling with the soldiers when he first entered the barracks, helping the soldiers of the three legions to form Caesar's caravan, or calmly responding to the battle when the battle broke out, Caesar's performance can be described as perfect.

Although there are many things in this that Caesar's approach is not recognized by Rabinus and others, Rabinus and others have to admit that the results of Caesar's approach are even more shocking; In particular, Caesar's initiative to mingle with ordinary soldiers made it difficult for Rabinus and others, who were born in traditional aristocratic families, to accept, but they had to admit that Caesar's approach was very effective.

From the departure of the army to the complete occupation of the Poheim region by the army, Caesar's performance in just one month is enough to prove that he is a qualified commander with courage, resourcefulness and righteousness; Caesar, on the other hand, was still only a twelve-year-old child.

If Caesar's performance was enough to make Rabinus and the other three willingly loyal to him, then the next performance was the beginning of Caesar's stepping on the stage of genius; After the army of the House of Julius marched into the city of Lovosice, Caesar gave a speech to the tribe of Lovosice on the day he entered the city, and released all the captives on the spot.

After that, Caesar took measures to stabilize the situation in the Poheim region by tax-free for three years, increasing construction materials, and helping to civilize the Lovosice tribe; Even the Lovosice tribesmen who stood up and insulted Caesar, Caesar was generous enough to show that he did not care.

By any measure, Caesar's performance is enough to describe as a qualified leader; Even, Rabinus and others couldn't help but feel that Caesar was more suitable to be the leader of the Julius family than Flavis.

In fact, Caesar's unique temperament makes people who follow Caesar always involuntarily trust him, which is where Caesar's personality lies; Coupled with Caesar's calm and calm demeanor, he does have all the qualities of a perfect leader.

At this time, Rabinus and the other three not only agreed with Flavies's desire to put Caesar as the head of the family, but they themselves became Caesar's unwavering followers and supporters; They believe that Caesar will become the greatest family leader in the history of the Julius family, and will also be a legend who will surpass the Oscars!

The news of Caesar's army soon reached Flavis, and after learning that Caesar's army had successfully captured the region of Boheim, Flavies also turned all his attention to the war affairs of the Julius family against the Germanic barbarians; As for Caesar's performance, Flavies knew it better than anyone else.

Having determined that the situation in the Poheim region was relatively stable, Flavies himself immediately sent heralds to give Caesar's army an order to attack the Germanic barbarian Macomani; Flavis himself, three days after the departure of the heralds, led the 4th, 8th, and 9th legions that remained in the Norikum region across the border and launched an attack on the Germanic barbarian region of Agripumat!

the Mainz tribe in the Agripugmat region, whose leader is Odovaka, who has been the ruler of the Mainz tribe for more than a decade; From the point of view of a powerful tribal leader, the impulsive and warlike Odovaka is not a good leader, but from the perspective of a brave and warlike warrior, the resolute Odovaka is definitely a perfect warrior.

More importantly, as one of the seven major tribes of the Germanic barbarians, the overall strength of the Mainz tribe can definitely firmly occupy the top three positions; In terms of the economic strength of each tribe alone, the Damu tribe in the Qadi region is definitely the first, and the Mainz tribe is the second after the Damu tribe.

Regardless of economic and other factors, from the point of view of military strength alone, then the Trier tribe of the Upper Germanic region, which has been in confrontation with the Gallic barbarians for many years, is definitely the first, and the Mainz tribe, as the main force supporting the Trier tribe, is also second in military strength after the Trier tribe.

For the relations between the tribes of the Germanic barbarians were quite united, at least in great matters; Therefore, the ranking of this strength is not very important to each other, and the top three of the Mainz tribe are just a simple comparison result.

The real importance of the Mainz tribes lies not in their economic and military strength, but in their special geographical location; The powerful Germanic barbarians are, in the final analysis, a union of seven Germanic barbarian tribes, and the Mainz tribe is an important link between these seven tribes!

Although the Qadi region ruled by the Damm tribe is the core area of the Germanic barbarians, the Mainz tribe is the geographical core area of the entire Germanic land; Centered on the Mainz tribe, to the west are the Upper Germanic and Lower Germanic regions, which are the traditional spheres of influence of the Germanic barbarians, and to the east and north are the later expanded regions of Kadi, Makomani, Gothic, and Saxon.

In other words, the Agripugumat of the Mainz tribe is the core area of the Germanic barbarians in terms of geography; Once the region of Agripumat was successfully occupied by the Julius, the entire Germanic barbarian tribe would be split in two, becoming two independent powers that could not support each other.

Of course, that's just on the good side; On the other hand, once the Julius family occupies the Agridigumat region of the Mainz tribe, the Julius family is in danger of being caught between the Germanic barbarians.

In view of this, Flavies sent three legions led by Caesar in advance to launch an attack on the Poheim area; The occupation of Poheim was not an end in itself, but a means.

As long as the Poheim region is in the hands of the Julius family, the Julius family can attack the Macomani region of the Germanic barbarians from the Poheim region; The Macomani tribe in the Macomani region was undoubtedly the weakest of the seven tribes of the entire Germanic barbarians, weak in any of its aspects, and was no match for Caesar's army at all.

The vast and sparsely populated Macomani region has extremely limited economic development potential; Even the Sparsely populated Gothic and Saxon regions were slightly richer because of their coastlines. The only ones are the Macomani tribes, who have neither enough population to develop nor other means to acquire wealth; Naturally, it was reduced to the weakest tribe.

Even, even the army that protects the homeland, the Macomani tribe is only 5,000; Even the Lovošice tribe in the Poheim region has the strength to annex the Macomani tribe. However, the Lovošice tribe did not dare to provoke the Macomani tribe; After all, the unity between the seven major tribes of the Germanic barbarians is also well known, and who would dare to provoke the powerful Germanic barbarians?

This was nothing to the House of Julius, whose ambition was to annex the entire Germanic barbarian land, rather than defeat one or two Germanic barbarian tribes and encroach on their lands.

Immediately after Flavis' army entered the region of Agridigumat, it was met with fierce resistance from some small local Germanic barbarian tribes; In order to buy hearts and minds, Flavis did not retaliate against these small tribes, but after defeating their own army, he continued to march towards the core area of the Mainz tribe.

At the same time, the leader of the Mainz tribe, Odovaka, who received the news of the enemy's invasion, was also irritable and directly led the 25,000 Germanic army of the Mainz tribe to kill in the direction of the Flavis army! (To be continued.) )
