Chapter 436 The Great Qin That Is Suffocatingly Powerful
The Roman Senate, the new Chief Consul Scipio, looked at the report sent by the adjutant, and his face became solemn.
"Your Highness, rumors are everywhere in the entire city of Rome, saying that Daqin has created a terrifying artifact with infinite power and divine power. If the rumors are allowed to spread, the entire city of Rome will soon be panicked. .”
The adjutant said with a look of indignation.
"Have you found out who is spreading the rumors?"
Scipio frowned.
"Do you still have to guess, apart from the food supervisors sent by Daqin, and the nobles and dignitaries who colluded with them, who has such courage and who can do this?"
The adjutant said without even thinking about it: "Your Excellency the Consul, please give an order. If these people are not arrested, the city of Rome will be in chaos!"
"Without sufficient evidence, how to arrest people?"
"Don't forget, these Daqin grain supervisors have earned enough prestige among the people by distributing grain. If they arrest people without enough evidence, the consequences will only be worse."
"What's more, although this group of people are unarmed, Da Qin is standing behind them!"
"We have promised Daqin before that we will unconditionally protect the safety of these food supervisors. It is clearly written in black and white. If we take action against them, isn't this an excuse for Daqin to declare war on Rome?"
Scipio grumbled.
"This!"
"This group of Qin people are really hateful!"
"Those grains, in their country, obviously have no place to store them, and the price is so low that they are not even as good as cabbage, yet they dare to sell them to Rome for such a high price, and they want Rome to sign such unreasonable terms, it is really hateful! "
"For this batch of food, our treasury in Rome was empty, and a large amount of bonds were issued, but in the end, the good reputation was earned by Daqin."
"They are really deceiving people too much!"
"When the war starts, it will be a matter of time anyway."
The adjutant's eyes were reddened.
"Does today's Rome really have the strength to be an enemy of Daqin?"
Scipio couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.
To be honest, not only the adjutant, but also Scipio himself was so angry that he vomited blood at the moment when he learned the truth.
But after calming down, Scipio had to give up the impulsive idea of going to war.
The reason is simple, since the loss of the territory of the Persian region, today's Romans are simply unable to break into the territory of Daqin.
Not being able to attack, just declaring war on defense is simply the biggest joke.
At this time, Scipio was most worried about whether Daqin would attack after the opening of the Suez Canal.
It is really that the Qin Dynasty's navy is too powerful, and it is simply not something that the Roman fleet can compete with.
According to the description of the envoys stationed in Daqin, the largest warship in Daqin had a displacement almost ten times that of Roman warships, and it was like a castle on the sea, which could not be shaken at all.
The weapons equipped on it are even more powerful to the extent that it is outrageous.
And once Rome goes to war with Great Qin, the Carthaginians will definitely die laughing.
Hannibal, who made the Romans hate him so much, would never miss this opportunity to attack and completely destroy Rome.
These stupid Carthaginians don't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.
Scipio smiled wryly again.
Seeing Scipio's expression, the adjutant who was originally aggrieved couldn't help being discouraged.
As Scipio's assistant, he naturally understood how big the gap between Rome and Qin was.
"But your Excellency the Consul, the people of Daqin are already digging the Suez Canal. After the canal is opened, they will definitely enter the Mediterranean Sea. We will still have to face Daqin's warships then."
The adjutant hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth.
"Being able to delay for a while is better than starting a war with Daqin right now?"
"Now in Carthage, the gap between Hannibal and the senate in the rear is becoming more and more obvious. After careful planning, there may not be room for us to use."
"As for those Qin people who spread rumors, they can only turn a blind eye and close one eye!"
Scipio said helplessly.
"But if you don't want to stop it, it's impossible to control this rumor!"
The adjutant said with a depressed expression on his face.
"It might be better for us to come out and clarify when the rumors are really outrageous."
"Actually, what I'm really worried about is the artifacts promoted by these Qin people, not rumors."
Scipio sighed heavily.
"how can that be?"
The adjutant had an unbelievable look on his face.
"Although I don't want to believe it."
"But Daqin can even build sea castles and flying artifacts. The powerful artifacts on land are easier than flying artifacts, right?"
"I have decided to send an envoy to Daqin for a friendly visit, and to find out whether this so-called artifact is real."
"God bless, I hope that the people of Qin are indeed bragging this time, rather than really having such mysterious and unpredictable abilities."
"Otherwise, my hundreds of years of foundation in Rome will probably perish in our hands."
Scipio looked at the map of the territory of Rome on the wall and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
I thought Rome was strong enough.
Hundreds of years of savings, while at war with Carthage and Macedonia, can still maintain the offensive, and the road to empire is just around the corner.
However, the mysterious east and the sudden appearance of the Great Qin made the dream of the Roman Empire directly become a mirror image.
Not to mention development, even survival is now becoming a problem.
......
In the city of Carthage, Sufit, the supreme consul, also sighed.
Although relying on the help of Daqin, Carthage has survived the most difficult hurdle and successfully stabilized the front with Rome.
But looking at the incomparably huge map of the territory of the Great Qin, Sophie couldn't be happier in his heart.
Although Carthage and Great Qin are nominally allies, everyone knows that allies are always the most unreliable.
Whether it can be sold depends on the size of the interest.
Daqin has already declared that it wants to unify the world.
Let the whole world belong to the land of Qin, this sentence, even the common people in Carthage know it.
All over the world, this includes Rome, and does not exclude Carthage.
What is even more frightening is that Da Qin really has such strength.
As long as the Suez Canal is opened, Daqin's unimaginably powerful fleet will enter the Mediterranean Sea.
At that time, not to mention that Rome and Carthage are still at war, even if the two countries join hands, it will be difficult to match the Great Qin people.
What's more, after hundreds of years of fighting, Carthage and Rome have already become deadly enemies.
If Sophie proposed the idea of an alliance with the Romans, he was afraid that the Carthaginian Senate would directly kill him, the consul.
What's more, many veterans have been bought by Daqin, and the interior of Carthage is no longer monolithic.
Sofite was in a daze for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
In this world, whoever has a hard fist can grasp the truth.
But today's Daqin not only has hard fists, but even wears a pair of iron gloves, which makes foreigners completely lose the courage to confront Daqin head-on.
