Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 479 The Helplessness of the Roman Consul

In the city of Rome, in the mansion of the highest consul, Scipio sighed helplessly as he looked at the latest information in his hand.

Judging from the information sent back from the front line, Hannibal, who was as ferocious as a jackal and as cunning as a fox, was not fooled. Strategies are not working optimally.

"Uncle, what are we going to do now? Should we launch an attack before the Carthaginians have guessed our army's attack route?"

Scipio's nephew, little Scipio hesitated.

"No, there is a saying in the Great Qin Dynasty, which is called soldiers and horses before moving food and grass. That is to say, military operations must be fully prepared."

"Before, in order to keep secret, many preparations of our army were carried out in secret, and the efficiency was greatly affected. Now in this situation, our chance of winning is less than [-]%."

"To launch an attack in a hurry now, let alone whether it will be successful when Hannibal is already on guard."

"Even if it is a lucky success, if the food and supplies cannot keep up, there will be no power to continue the offensive, and if you cannot drive straight into the basic land of Carthage, you will not be able to completely shake Hannibal's prestige in Carthage and persecute the Carthaginians. Surrender, this is a counterattack, it is better not to fight."

Scipio shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle, please forgive me, even if all the supplies are in place, it is very difficult to achieve such a complete victory."

"That Hannibal made my great Roman legion fail many times, which shows how powerful he is."

"If we hadn't caught his attention before, we still have a pretty high chance of winning."

"However, Hannibal is already on guard. If we continue to delay, there is no guarantee that he will not guess the purpose of my Roman legion. If Hannibal prepares in advance, we will have a harder time."

Little Scipio bit the bullet and said.

"What you said also makes sense."

"But there is no way, who gave us too little time left."

"During this period of time, the people of Daqin used the prospecting railway to collect intelligence in our Roman territory. You should have heard of it."

"It's okay to be near the city of Rome. After all, with my uncle around, they still have to worry about three points."

"In the other cities of Rome, they openly carried out large-scale surveys in the local area, and those nobles not only did not stop them, but cooperated with them for a little money, and sold me the detailed geographical information of Rome."

"These materials have completely exceeded the needs of building the railway. The people of Qin are preparing for future battles."

"Daqin's tiger-wolf heart has long been revealed!"

"Our only hope now is to end the war with Carthage as soon as possible. As long as Carthage is taken, Rome will have a chance to recuperate."

"Otherwise, facing the mighty Qin army, we will not even be qualified to fight!"

Scipio smiled wryly.

"Since my uncle already knew about the ambitions of the Daqin people, why didn't he throw them out and continue to allow them to build the railway?"

Little Scipio wondered.

"There are many reasons for this, but in summary, there are only a few points."

"First, Great Qin is too strong. Even if we know that we will fight in the future, we can't afford to provoke them now. We can only paralyze them first."

"If Qin is angered and pushed to Carthage, the situation we face in Rome will be even more difficult."

"Secondly, although the people of Qin are greedy, their technology is really nothing to talk about. Except for Da Qin, no one else can make such a magical railway."

"This time, outside of the city of Rome, the reason why the people of Daqin can act so recklessly is because of inconvenient transportation, which makes the city of Rome insufficient in controlling the fringe areas."

"And the emergence of the railway allows the city of Rome to reach all cities and counties in one day. Wherever it passes, who dares to disobey orders?"

"Rectifying the interior in advance and strengthening the control of the local area are the prerequisites for me to prepare for the war between Rome and Great Qin."

"To be honest, my uncle admires His Majesty the Emperor of Qin very much. He was able to withstand tremendous pressure and create a centralized system of power in counties and counties. It is really beyond the reach of ordinary emperors."

"This kind of system, both internally and externally, can be twisted into a single rope. In the time of all-out war between countries, it will completely crush the alliance system countries that are not in harmony!"

"Typical, such as the former Maurya Dynasty and Seleucid, the population and territory are not much smaller than the Great Qin, but now they are easily taken by the Great Qin."

Scipio sighed.

"That is to say, at present, we can only watch the Qin people act recklessly on my Roman land?"

"And my nephew has a doubt. The railway was invented by the people of Daqin. It is impossible for the people of Daqin not to know its function. Will they really build it for me?"

Little Scipio wondered.

"Should be."

"Because Daqin people are quite reputable in business, it is impossible for them to recruit themselves for such a big project that attracts the attention of the whole world."

"Uncle will also send people to watch the project, and the rest can be regarded as invisible. If there is any omission in the specific construction, then you will not be polite to the people of Daqin."

"Moreover, the purpose of the Great Qin people is to conquer the whole world, including me, Rome."

"If you want to control such a large territory, the Daqin people will build railways all over the world. It is better for me to pay for the repairs in Rome now than for them to spend their own money in the future, right?"

"You see what this railway does to my Rome."

"However, for the people of Daqin, do they care about this?"

Scipio smiled wryly.

Little Scipio was speechless for a moment.

Then he sighed heavily.

Daqin's strength is so powerful that people are daunted, and they don't know how to resist.

After being silent for a long time, little Scipio suddenly said, "Uncle, Zhi'er wants to go to Daqin in person, and see what is so magical about this country that has been passed down as a miracle?"

"That's fine, but if you go this time, you can bring your sister with you, she also yearns for Daqin very much."

Scipio thought for a while, and quickly gave a reply.

Little Scipio couldn't help being stunned again.

I went to Daqin to investigate by myself in order to learn more about the opponent's intelligence so as to prepare for future wars.

But what would be the use of that innocent younger sister following along?

It would be nice not to add chaos.

In particular, that girl still admires the so-called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Heaven, and she is astonished as a heavenly being.

Going thousands of miles this time, I'm afraid it's sending Na Han to your door.

Thinking about it, a strange thought flashed through Little Scipio's mind?

Could this be the real intention of Uncle Scipio?
