Chapter 570 Hannibal's Thoughts
After the adjutant finished speaking, he carefully observed Hannibal's expression and found that the latter was not angry, so he continued to speak:
"According to the last general's understanding, the emperor and the crown prince of Daqin are people who love talents very much. Otherwise, those famous craftsmen in Carthage would not have defected to Carthage and go to Daqin. , even the highly respected Lord Archimedes of Sygura is now also working in Daqin’s Academy of Engineering.”
"Although this has something to do with the generous treatment given by Daqin, being able to accept so many talents from foreign countries in one go, and treating everyone equally, is enough to show that the first emperor and Prince Yingyu are tolerant. "
"Therefore, if you are really disappointed in Carthage, Your Excellency General, perhaps defecting to Daqin would be your best choice."
After hesitating for a while, the adjutant confided his heartfelt words to Hannibal.
As a good comrade-in-arms who went through life and death, he really couldn't bear to see Hannibal so hard-working and devoting himself to death, but instead he would be oppressed and persecuted by those selfish nobles.
Such a character should have a wider world to start a big business and continue to stay in Carthage. For Hannibal, it is a waste of his talents.
Therefore, even though the adjutant knew that without Hannibal as the core figure, the Carthaginian army would be like a tiger that lost its eyes and could only be slaughtered, but the adjutant still made this suggestion to Hannibal.
"Qin State, Qin State? That is indeed a good place to go."
Hannibal repeated the word 'Qin', his eyes moved.
In fact, the adjutant had already mentioned to him about letting him abandon the dark side and go to the Great Qin Dynasty, but at that time he only wanted to raid the Roman garrison and occupy the Roman defense line, and did not express his attitude clearly.
However, hearing this suggestion from the adjutant again, Hannibal's heart was inevitably shaken.
After all, compared to the situation in Carthage, Daqin is simply much stronger. Not only is the treatment better, but he can also better display his talents.
The most important thing is that everyone knows that Hannibal is very strong in commanding operations, but in fact Hannibal is a military idiot,
In Carthage, Hannibal was naturally the only one, and no one could compare with him in terms of military strategy. Although this allowed him to enjoy a lot of special treatment, it did little to improve his own military ability. to zero.
However, it is different in Daqin. From the old to the young, there are almost all generals who are comparable to him in military strength, or even stronger, such as the old Mr. Wang Jian who wiped out the six kingdoms, the general Wang Ben, Meng Tian, who was stationed at the border to deter the countries, and Han Xin, who beat the Maurya Dynasty to death.
Of course, the most important thing is the Great Qin Prince known as the God of War.
If you can often discuss military strategy and the method of arranging troops with people of this level, it will definitely be of great benefit to your military attainments. This is also what makes Hannibal feel the most excited about going to the Great Qin.
"Your suggestion, I will seriously consider it. After the next big battle, I should almost have an answer to whether to go or stay."
Hannibal sighed again.
"Since this is the case, the last general will not say more."
"However, Your Majesty, about the time when our Carthaginian army will attack Rome, when should it be set?"
the adjutant asked.
"do you have any good advice?"
Hannibal didn't say the answer directly, but wanted to use this to exercise the adjutant's ability.
After all, if he really intends to leave Carthage and go to Daqin in the future, besides himself, he also needs to have a caring person who knows the basics with him.
And the candidate in Hannibal's mind was his adjutant.
In this way, not only can he have a relationship with the adjutant, but it will be much more convenient for him to do things in the future.
"According to the general's opinion, we can set the date of attack on the seventh day from today. That day happens to be the day when the Great Qin Crown Prince married Princess Sophie of Rome."
"Initiating an attack on Rome on such a special day will not only catch Rome by surprise, but also force Rome to defend our attack in a hurry, and prepare for the wedding between Prince Ying Yu and Princess Sophie, making Rome exhausted. "
"And you can also take advantage of the holding of the wedding ceremony to stop Daqin's footsteps and delay the time for Daqin's army to come to support Rome. It can be said to serve multiple purposes."
The adjutant thought for a while and said.
"Wait until the soldiers have finished repairing and are familiar with the defense line and the city wall, at least seven days later, it will never be the day when Prince Yingyu and Princess Sophie get married."
"Besides, the wedding day is extremely important in the customs of Daqin. The people of Daqin also attach great importance to this day, and blood and war are very taboo."
"Our previous behavior of occupying the Roman fortress was only indirectly offending Daqin because of our in-laws. Therefore, although Daqin said that he would send reinforcements, it would definitely not be too many. We can barely deal with it."
"But if we really launch another attack on Rome on our wedding day, then we in Carthage will directly offend His Royal Highness Prince Ying Yu and offend the whole Great Qin!"
"When the time comes, he will lead hundreds of thousands of Qin's army to come in a fit of anger. I'm afraid not only our Carthage army will be wiped out, but even Carthage may be destroyed!"
Hannibal's expression turned serious.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency General, but I was thinking about the problem too superficially. I only saw the benefits, but I ignored the disadvantages that may be countless times greater than the benefits."
The adjutant looked embarrassed, and kept apologizing to Hannibal.
"Actually, your idea is also correct on the surface, but it's a pity that Qin is too powerful!
With the help of various external forces, our Carthaginian army may be able to fight against a small number of Qin troops, but if it is the main force of a large wave of Qin troops, we will have to wait for death. "
"Therefore, our attack time can be set after the soldiers have fully understood the mechanism settings of this defensive wall, and the energy of the whole army has almost recovered, then we can officially sound the horn of attack."
"At that time, if there is no assistance from the Qin army, we will go straight to Huanglong to take the Roman capital. If the Qin army really comes to help, I will be able to show the Qin army. My Hannibal's military talent, and The strength of our Carthaginian army!
Hannibal said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with strong fighting intent.
