"As for the commander of the army, the council will appoint the candidates, do you agree or not?"

Chen Mu's domineering made many people silent, and many people had to nod their heads in agreement.

It is said that the parliament will appoint the candidates, but the parliament is controlled by Chen Mu, in fact, it is Chen Mu who appoints the candidates.

But no one dared to put forward a proposal against it, because the whole of Rome, whether it was their internal affairs, diplomacy, or military, was now controlled by Chen Mu.

These ordinary members of the parliament, they say to be more direct, it's just a vase, and the vase still wants to disobey the will of its owner, isn't it a joke, they also have self-knowledge.

Chen Mu saw that all the parliamentarians agreed, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and called the parliament to dissolve.

Then Chen Mu organized an army of 10,000 people, and he appointed some reliable people to lead them, and he believed that Rome in the future would be his firm rear.

As for the location where they were stationed, Chen Mu arranged for them to be in a strategic place in the west, and he called it the city-state of Rossi.

Then Chen Mu sent some of the Bactria warriors to the north, and in a mountain pass in central Rome, he built a fortress, this fortress was called the Danube Fortress, which was specially used to defend against the Westerners.

Then Chen Mu planned to let the engineers among the Romans do it.

However, not long after they started construction, several soldiers under Chen Mu who were in charge of supervising the work hurriedly came over to report.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't let the Romans do it, these people's mastery of engineering technology is simply too far worse than our Daxia people, and they are still very arrogant."

"Our engineers commanded them, and they didn't listen."

These warriors began to complain, Chen Mu frowned slightly, and then continued.

"I can't think about this point, I overestimate them, these people want to train to the same level as us, it may take years."

So Chen Mu replaced all the Roman engineers and technicians, and then replaced all their own technicians in Great Xia.

So this fortress, it was built in the shortest possible time.

Chen Mu went to visit in person, and he admired it in his heart while watching.

"It's really the speed of Great Xia, only our engineers have such a powerful ability."

In this way, the range of activities of the Westerners was completely restricted by Chen Mu, and they basically did not pose any threat.

Chen Mu called Su Shide over again.

"Schward, can you find a Latin in Rome? I'd like to get in touch with them. ”

Schward replied respectfully:

"I know a lot of Latins who are very well informed."

Chen Mu nodded, thinking that this Su Shide was really smart, and when he started a head, Su Shide knew what he was going to do.

"I want to find out some information through them, about the current situation in the north and the west."

Chen Mu said lightly to Su Shide, but his words seemed to be just an inquiry, but in fact it was an order.

Schwarzed: "No problem, I know a few reliable, honest Latins, and I'm going to get them to act and have them report back to you as soon as possible." ”

Chen Mu nodded, and he let Su Shide take full responsibility for the news.

Over the next few days, Schwartz gathered and contacted several of his former friends, all of whom were Latins.

He gathered the men together in the tent to drink, and after three glasses of wine, Suoster made them all stand up.

"Brothers, there is a big fortune next, I don't know if you are interested."

Su Shide glanced at them, and then said lightly.

"If you do this well, in the future, everyone can be like me, and become a nobleman in Great Xia, with hundreds of slaves and hundreds of hectares of land for one person."

Hearing Su Shide say this, these friends of his were all moved, and these people knelt on the ground one after another, and then hurriedly said.

"I hope that the eldest brother will guide us, and we also want to live such a chic life like the eldest brother."

Schward laughed, he told the men to stand up, and then continued.

"It's very simple, you are known among the Latins as sociable, so go out and ask me about it now."

"What is the situation in the western country, whoever gets the most news and who gets the most real news, I will give the most rewards to whoever they get, and I will recommend you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When the Latins heard about this matter, they didn't say a word, but hurried to inquire after eating.

Soon, the information came directly to summarize.

The first piece of information was about the Germans and the Vikings, who were now being attacked by the Vikings, and they were defeated.

The Germans lost part of their land and were on the defensive.

But these Germanic people, they were very unwilling, and their leading figures proposed to cooperate with the Westerners to attack the Vikings.

It is equivalent to that part of the energy of the people of the West has been involved in this matter.

Su Shide knew that this was important news, and he hurried over to report it to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu laughed when he heard that there was such a good thing.

"Okay, they people in the west are really greedy, and they put important military forces in distant areas, God really gave me a chance."

"If I attack the Westerners now, they will have no way to organize reinforcements, and they will definitely be defeated by me."

Chen Mu smiled, and then he slapped the table.

"There is a good saying, God will not take the blame, it seems that the time has come for us to send troops."

Chen Mu immediately brought the generals of Great Xia and the Roman generals over.

Chen Mu took out the map, and then said to them: "I plan to reduce the army in the Roman fortress and the Danube fortress. I will gather them all together in the city-state of Rossi. ”

"Pay attention to concealment, and move quietly at night, so as not to let the spies in the western country find out."

The Roman general asked: "Are you going to do something against the western country, I think you are going to mobilize like this." ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Now it's going to do something to the Western Kingdom, I'll get rid of them now, otherwise it's not a way to drag it out." ”

"When the Western army and the Vikings start fighting, we will send troops and occupy the territory of the Latins."

The generals all knew Chen Mu's determination, so they prepared to go.

A few days later, news came that the Western army had joined forces with the Germans and marched north.

Chen Mu also led a large army, including 5,000 Xia musketeers, 20 light artillery, and 10,000 Roman troops, from the city-state of Rossi to the north, straight into the towns west of the Latins.
