Chapter 631 [China Concession Part 2]
"It is impossible, Rome would not accept such an unfair contract!"
"Chinese people are not real friends, and real friends will not make such requests!"
"They are robbers!"
"The great Rome cannot tolerate such bullying, I object!"
"be opposed to!"
Shortly after Quentus jumped up, the entire Senate was blown up. The three hundred Roman senators were clamoring like three hundred hens that had laid eggs, and their eyes could be killing!
What a joke, you don’t have to follow Roman law on the land of Rome? You also have a magistrate and a sheriff. Is this going to divide the land of Rome? Chilcei is different from the barren land of the Gauls. It is the golden rooster of Rome, a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs!
Bai Dong looked at the turbulent Roman veterans without saying anything at all, but Jing Jian stood up and said: "We have a hundred thousand troops outside the city of Rome, and there are dozens or millions of troops gathering towards Persia, and you can cross the sea at any time!"
The Senate suddenly became silent, and the needles could be heard.
After glanced at these Roman veterans, Bai Dong nodded and said, "Brother Jing is right. Using force to make surrender is the most annoying thing for the Chinese. But the consul and all the veterans should think about the 100,000 athletes who went to Rome. They left their hometown, crossed the sea, and came to this foreign country to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. In the end, they could not get a port for China. How could they bear it? The angry men in the army are not the general of the leader, I am afraid it will be difficult to control it."
"Bai Zi's words make sense, but can the rental time be shorter?"
For a country like Rome, which was founded by conquest, it was natural to bully the weak. Therefore, after Jingjian threatened, the elders were shocked and did not feel much humiliated. Instead, they felt that this should have been. If Rome had a hundred legions, they were afraid that the conditions would be even more amazing.
But five hundred years are too long, Quentus still has to fight for the day.
"There are 100,000 us outside the city of Rome"
Jing Jian became addicted to joke, but was interrupted by Bai Dong raising his hand: "We China are a country of etiquette. How can we threaten our friends like this? The consul and the first senior, Brother Jing is just a joke. China never does anything to overpower others, so we might as well make a deal."
"China's eyes are not on the Mediterranean countries. In the vast ocean more west, we need a stable West, a safe and controllable sea route. But now the West is really too chaotic. There are Romans, Gauls, Greeks, and Carthaginians. I don't have the energy to deal with them one by one, so the easiest way is to find the most reliable friends in the West. Rome is one of them."
"Now Rome and Greece are the most powerful countries in the West. Roman power is gathering, but Greek city-states are forcing themselves to loosen and not disperse, and their resilience is amazing, so Rome and Greece are our currently selected friends. If Rome can give enough sincerity, China will help you eliminate the Gauls, Carthaginians, and Iberians, let the glory of Rome shine throughout the Mediterranean, and become a great country that can compete with Greece. How about?"
"You can get such great benefits with just one Chilcey's right to rent? Are you serious about the honorable friends from the East?"
Quentus' eyes were almost red. Now Rome was very difficult to develop southward and eastward. The Greeks who defeated the Persian Empire three times in a row made Rome deeply afraid. Moreover, Rome, who believed in the descendants of Troy, was inseparable from Greek civilization, now has great favor for Greece and does not want to go to war with Greece. In this way, if Rome wants to develop, it can only go northward and westward. However, in the north, there are fierce Gaul and Celtics, and to the west, there are Carthage and Iberians. Although civilization is not as prosperous as Rome, it is not easy to chew.
It would be great if there was help from the Chinese. A dynamic picture seemed to be unfolding in front of Kuntus. The Roman territory on the picture was expanding from the Apennine Peninsula, covering the north and the west, until the Iberian Peninsula, which made him salivate.
Because he was so excited, Quentus called his friend for the first time. You should know that since Bai Dong walked into the Senate, he had always called the other party "Baizi" and "Marquis of the East".
"Haha, the First Elder is really easy to plot. How is this possible! To help Rome wipe out these enemies and expand its territory to the Iberian Peninsula, China doesn't know how much price it will cost, so China must exchange for enough benefits, otherwise I will be scolded by the Chinese as a Western traitor."
Bai Dong raised four fingers: "So the book has to put forward four conditions. First, the essence of conquest is to bring about civilization and a more stable life. It is not the same as race and extinction, so what we want to occupy is the land, but not the killing without restraint. Rome can classify foreign prisoners of war as slaves, but not foreign civilians as slaves."
Marcus and Quintus thought about it and did not object to this condition. Rome has not yet entered a powerful era of empire and can all alien races be classified as slaves.
"Secondly, the expanded territory of Rome should be classified into two categories: local and colonial. First, the Apennine Peninsula should be classified as Roman land, and all local interests will be attributed to Rome; while the other colonies should be shared by China, Greece and Rome, and the three families will be governed together."
Marcus frowned: "Why do you do this? I can understand that China shares the interests of the colony, but why did it take the Greeks to be cheaper?"
The ability to control the entire Apennines is enough to be happy at this stage. In fact, the Romans have not much to object to the setting of their homeland and colonies. Marcus just wondered why Bai Dong wanted to give the Greeks free benefits. As the consul of Rome, he had to express his attitude, after all, he "induced" the Chinese army.
"Just for my favor to Greece, for the sake of Roman civilization of 90% originating from Greece, is that okay?"
The Romans were afraid that they could not imagine the way to weigh the emperors in the East. After all, China is far away from Europe. Even if Bai Dong wants to colonize Europe, he must cultivate two equally powerful countries to ensure the best interests of China. This is why Bai Dong wants to join Greece.
"Of course it's OK for Bai Zi to persist like this."
No matter what, we cannot miss the opportunity to grow and develop Rome. Marcus and Quintus have decided that as long as Bai Dong does not make the idea of Rome's native ideas, he must agree to any questions he asks.
"The third condition is that the Iberian Peninsula must belong to China, and Rome and Greece will have to pay enough resources to help China establish one or two large seaports at the southernmost end of the peninsula. Of course, if Rome's resources are not enough, China will also mobilize certain resources to assist. You must agree to this condition, otherwise there will be no basis for negotiation."
"Is the area where the Iberians are located? There is no problem at all. From now on, it belongs to China. However, although there is a strait passing through the outer sea, it has no meaning. If you want to go to Li Xuan Shanxian, just cross the Aegean Sea."
"Haha, I have my own plans, so there is no need to ask more about the consul and the first veteran. Let's talk about our last condition. China believes that Rome needs a dictator, and we Eastern people are called emperors!"
