Chapter 300
"Why should I support Carthage? Wouldn't it be better for Rome and Carthage to fight more intensely?"
Ying Yu said with a smile: "The pressure from the Romans is a bit greater. Maybe Hannibal and the Carthaginian Senate will stop arguing. If we can work together, we may not be able to spend more time with the Romans!"
"What does His Royal Highness mean, is to let the Romans and Carthaginians spend a little longer to prepare for my Great Qin's coming to power in the future?"
A stern look flashed across Dunwei's face.
"That's right!"
"For those who are not of our race, their hearts must be different! Only by making the Romans and Carthaginians a minority, can we achieve long-term peace and stability after our Great Qin conquers these areas in the future."
Ying Yu smiled lightly.
It is comfortable without the shackles of rotten Confucianism. Although the emperors and ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty are a bit unable to wield butcher knives by themselves, they are still very happy to sit and watch the Romans and the Carthaginians kill each other.
And the more intense the fight between Rome and Carthage, the smaller the population will be.
The degree of cultural destruction will be higher, which will definitely benefit Daqin's future dominance of the world.
"In addition, the more intense the fight between Rome and Carthage, the higher the demand for my Great Qin will be, and the more benefits my Great Qin will receive."
Ying Yu smiled slightly and said, "Just like the dilapidated armor and equipment eliminated by the Great Qin Dynasty in the past, didn't the Neishi Mansion always dislike taking up space and planned to melt them down again?"
"According to the crown prince, there is no need to return the furnace, and sell it directly to Rome and Carthage at a high price. This can be regarded as the best of both worlds."
"This... will this work?"
Nesten's eyes lit up, then he hesitated for a moment, not sure.
With the progress of Daqin's science and technology in the past two years, the armor and weapons eliminated by the whole army have already piled up like a mountain, and many weapons and armor have already been rusted.
"Don't worry, no matter how bad the weapons and armor are, they are much better than none. What's more, these eliminated weapons are no worse than the main equipment of the Roman and Carthaginian armies."
Ying Yu said with a smile: "And the way of business has always been determined not only by the value of the item itself, but also by the degree of demand and the status of the buyer and seller."
"Specifically, when the time comes, everyone will see it."
Ying Yu is very clear that even in later generations, the arms trade is the most profitable industry.
Moreover, the price of arms definitely depends not only on the value of the arms itself, but also on the strength gap between buyers and sellers.
The strength gap between Daqin and Rome and Carthage is no smaller than that of the later superpowers against those vassal states.
And this gap will not only not narrow, but will only be widened.
More importantly, Daqin is equivalent to the referee in the dispute between Rome and Carthage. Whoever Daqin supports will gain an advantage, and the other side will fall into a crisis of extinction.
Under such circumstances, even if it is a pile of broken copper and iron, the two countries have to pinch their noses and buy back these weapons and equipment, which is like paying protection fees to Daqin.
What's more, the equipment eliminated by Daqin, although there are occasional wear and tear due to poor maintenance such as rust, is not too bad in Rome and Carthage, and it can be used immediately after buying it back.
I believe that when the time comes, they will be happy to accept Da Qin's 'kindness'!
And with this income, the formation of the Great Qin Navy can just be strengthened.
The navy has always burned money, and all kinds of expenses are completely astronomical, even in Daqin.
Although the improved Daqin Treasure Ship can be called a sea giant with extremely strong combat effectiveness, the cost is ridiculously expensive.
The original five-fang warship can be built for only one hundred thousand yuan.
However, the cost of the Daqin Treasure Ship has directly increased by a hundred times, and one ship costs tens of millions of dollars.
Even if Gongshujie took everyone in the Tianji Building and studied it for such a long time, the construction cost still needs to be as high as 800 million.
Moreover, the consumption of the navy has always been not just ships, the training of fleet officers, maintenance costs, and the construction of port fortresses will definitely not be less than the cost of shipbuilding, and may even be more.
If it weren't for the great development of sea trade in Daqin and the continuous surge in treasury revenue, Nei Shiteng would have jumped a long time ago.
Moreover, Ying Yu also made further adjustments to the plan for the Suez Canal.
Otherwise, after the opening of the Suez Canal, the treasure ship, which is the main battleship of the Great Qin Navy, will not be able to get through, and it will be a big joke in the world.
And this amount of money almost exhausted the Daqin treasury. If there is no further capital injection, it will affect the current economic construction of Daqin in full swing.
That's why Ying Yu came up with the idea of doing arms business. Fangzheng's obsolete equipment had to be remade, so it was better to use the waste and sell it directly to Rome and Carthage.
In this way, Daqin's economic pressure will be reduced a lot.
And it can also squeeze the strength of Rome and Carthage.
"Now I, Daqin, do have the qualifications to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. This proposal of the prince is very good."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
The original background of Daqin was stronger than that of Rome and Carthage.
After two years of rapid development, the two countries are even more incomparable.
What really constrains Daqin from continuing to expand is not that Daqin is afraid of the strength of the two countries, but because Daqin's current front line is too long, and it takes a certain amount of time to digest and solve the natural dangers of the Mediterranean.
It only takes a few years for Daqin to firmly control the current territory, and then it will be able to explode with greater energy.
When the Suez Canal is opened, there will be no natural barriers, and the more powerful Qin Navy will descend on the Mediterranean Sea in an invincible posture.
By that time, Rome and Carthage would have almost consumed each other.
Daqin can better achieve cultural integration after occupation.
The courtiers also nodded one after another, and then looked at Ying Yu with admiration.
Although these principles seem not difficult, what really amazed everyone was Ying Yu's strategic overall view.
From the very beginning, Ying Yu's layout focused on the whole world, not one country or one domain.
This kind of overall concept is the fundamental reason why Daqin was able to easily win all the way and lay down so many territories.
According to Ying Yu's plan, it won't take long for Daqin to develop to a level that no one can imagine.
All counties and counties, even remote ones like Liaodong, will be thoroughly developed and become a true kingdom of heaven.
And the population of Daqin itself will at least double in ten years at most on the existing basis.
Coupled with the constant reduction of non-Qin people, Daqin can truly achieve the majority of the world's population, from native to overseas immigrants, and completely control the entire world.
All the officials in Qilin Palace looked at Ying Yu with awe.
Fortunately, Ying Yu is the prince of Daqin.
Having such a terrifying opponent is definitely the greatest misfortune for all countries, and the greatest luck for Daqin!
Ying Yu smiled lightly.
Now that the Great Qin Dynasty has been fully presented, what remains is how to go one step further and truly rule the whole world.
In this world, one Daqin is enough.
And it all started with the naval parade!
