Chapter 217: The Empire Gets in the Way? It's good to cut it off
Listening to Kevin's words, Don Tingbai nodded, still with a faint smile on his face.
"I know."
"I also know that when Dayan's goods are sold to Persia, the merchants of the Persian Empire will sell them to your people from the Roman Empire at five times the price."
"In the same way, if the goods of the Roman Empire are sold to Persia, the merchants of the Persian Empire will likewise sell them to us for five times the price."
"It can be said that the Persian Empire is caught in the middle, and our Dayan and Rome are at a loss, and it is a big loss."
Kevin smiled helplessly: "Yes, it's a big loss, but what can be done?" The Persian Empire is like a roadblock, constantly sucking the blood of our two countries, but they are strong, otherwise our Roman Empire would have sent troops a long time ago. ”
"Ten princes, what if you add my Dayan? You and I will send troops together to open up the trade routes between the two countries, okay? Tang Tingbai spoke directly.
Dispatch troops together to open up trade routes???
Listening to Don's words, Kevin gasped, his eyes full of disbelief.
Is this tyrant crazy in Tang Tingbai?
How can there be such an unrealistic idea?
Persia was much larger than Rome and Dayan.
Persia also had a much larger population than Rome and Dayan.
Similarly, the Persian Empire's armies and weaponry were not comparable to those of Rome and Dayan.
In these years, the Persian Empire was sandwiched between Dayan and Rome, which can be said to have taken advantage of the benefits of the two countries, and Persia also developed and grew through this.
Kevin sighed: "Emperor Dayan, to be honest, this prince also wants to attack Persia, but the war between countries must not be rash, even if our two countries cooperate, we can't defeat Persia, even if we fight it, can we hold it?" ”
Tang listened to Bai and smiled.
He also understands Kevin.
After all, the Persian Empire was like a curse, a boulder pressing down on the Roman Empire.
Although both Persia and Rome were empires, Persia was clearly stronger than Rome!
Kevin looked at Tang Tingbai solemnly.
After a long time, he was stunned to find that Tang Tingbai, a madman, didn't mean to joke at all.
Did he really want to attack Persia?
Kevin frowned, and he took a deep breath: "Emperor Dayan, what you said just now, you really weren't joking?" ”
Tang Tingbai nodded solemnly: "The strength of our two countries is indeed inferior to Persia, and we can't beat Persia, but we only need to open the passage between Dayan and Rome this time, although we don't have the ability to destroy the whole of Persia, but it shouldn't be a problem to take several Persian state capitals and open up the passage between Dayan and Rome, right?" ”
This......
Kevin didn't speak.
He has a calm and cautious personality.
Although it sounds very tempting for Tang Tingbai's words, as the prince of Rome, he must not act rashly, he has to weigh the pros and cons!
But Kevin thought about it, and Tang Tingbai's idea of a tyrant sounded crazy, but it was not impossible to think about it carefully.
After a moment of silence, Kevin raised his head, his face full of solemnity.
"Emperor Dayan, I have to say that your ideas are crazy, this prince wants to hear your plan!"
Tang listened to Bai and smiled, he knew that the cooperation between the two countries had become half.
He immediately laid out a map of the Eastern Regions of the World on the table!
"Kevin, look."
"This is our map of the entire Eastern Regions, and the Persian Empire has completely separated our Dayan from Rome."
"We only need to conquer the Persian Empire's provinces of Lydi, Siri, Buru, and Anka."
"As long as we can occupy these four state capitals, we can connect the trade routes between Dayan and Rome, and then our two countries will garrison troops in these four provinces to protect the safety of the caravan."
"You can think about it, at that time, you and I will be mutually beneficial, how much money can we make?"
This......
Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Kevin was a little moved.
Because listening to Tang Tingbai's analysis, it seems to make a lot of sense.
Although the overall strength of Rome was not as good as that of Persia, it was not difficult to say that it only occupied the four state capitals of Persia.
After a moment of silence, Kevin raised his head: "Since it's an alliance, since it's cooperation, then we have to be as fair as possible, right?" ”
After speaking, Kevin pointed to the Lydy and Siri provinces on the map: "These two state capitals are very close to our Rome, so we are going to attack these two state capitals, no problem, right?" ”
Tang Tingbai nodded, expressionless: "Okay, no problem." ”
Hearing this, Kevin was overjoyed.
Because Lydi and Siri were very close to their Rome, once they sent troops, the logistical supply lines could keep up.
Dayan's side is different.
Dayan is considered an ultra-long-distance operation.
After all, Persia is next to Tibet, although Tibet is now a vassal state of Dayan.
However, the Great Yan army had to travel long distances to Tibet, and then cross the mountains and mountains from Tibet to reach Persian territory.
It can be said that if it is distributed in this way, Dayan will suffer a little.
However, Tang Tingbai didn't care.
"Prince Kevin, half a month later, you and I will attack at the same time and occupy these four state capitals as quickly as possible, and then all kinds of spices, gold, silver and agate in Rome can be sent to Dayan, and my Dayan's firewood, rice, oil and salt, all kinds of porcelain handicrafts and mirrors will be sent to Rome in a steady stream."
"It can be said that the cooperation between our two countries will bring unexpected benefits to our two countries, and at the same time it can also curb the development of Persia, so that Persia will decline rapidly in a few years, and then you and I will join forces to destroy Persia and divide the territory of Persia equally!"
Tang Tingbai's tone was full of confidence.
And Kevin's eyes were just as excited.
He knew the Persian Empire better than the tyrant Tang Tingbai.
He clearly knew that once this plan really succeeded, then Persia would have no economic support, and the people in the country would quickly become impoverished, and even have the intention of rebellion.
At that time, they could unite with Dayan to attack Persia.
After destroying Persia, he united with the Xiongnu Empire to destroy Dayan.
By that time, their Roman territory would nearly triple as much as they would.
As long as this plan succeeds, although he Kevin is the tenth prince of the Roman Empire, he is definitely the one with the greatest credit among all the princes of Rome.
At that time, the next emperor of the Roman Empire could only be him.
Thinking of this, Kevin's breathing became a lot heavier.
"Emperor Dayan, then let's just say it, we will attack Persia together in half a month, our purpose is not to occupy how much land in Persia, just to open up trade routes!" Kevin spoke solemnly.
He also knew that it was unrealistic to occupy a large area of Persia.
Tang Tingbai also nodded heavily: "No problem, half a month later, we will attack together." ”
After speaking, the two of them smiled thoughtfully.
In fact, the reason why Tang Tingbai was in a hurry to open up the trade route between Dayan and Rome also had his own calculations.
Now Dayan needs to develop, and money is needed in all aspects.
Moreover, in addition to the fact that Tang Tingbai is now building roads and bridges in Kyoto and Dayan, it can be said that it costs money like flowing water.
Although he had stolen a lot of money from other countries before.
But there will always be a day when it runs out.
Therefore, he will continue to find ways to get money while the treasury still has money.
Similarly, Tang Tingbai had another purpose, that is, to loot money in Rome.
He even bought large quantities of grain, iron, and even salt from Rome.
Although these three things are also not lacking in Dayan, it is still necessary to prevent problems before they happen.
Moreover, as a modern person, Tang Tingbai is confident that he can scavenge the money of the Roman people and even the royal family.
Not to mention anything else, just mirrors, as long as they are sold to Rome, they can earn at least billions of taels of silver, or even more.
When the time comes, Tang Tingbai will come up with some other modern things.
It's guaranteed to sell well.
Of course, the things that Tang Tingbai made were practical, but he couldn't eat or drink, and to put it bluntly, he was a dead thing.
It has to be ineffective in the event of a war.
Next, Tang Tingbai and Kevin discussed the battle plan.
Half an hour later, Kevin left.
Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, you go and call the envoys of Tubo in Dayan!" ”
