Chapter 635 [Eagle and Sheep]
Walking on the Roman Avenue paved with bluestone, looking at the Roman soldiers shaking their strong legs in the cold wind, and savoring the exotic style of the Roman noble lady, Dongyang Jun felt quite happy.
Of course, the idiom "I Love Shu" has not yet appeared in this era. This is Bai Dong's evaluation of his old friend Dongyang Jun.
This guy has been in Rome for five days. Since he reached a series of "bilateral agreements" on behalf of Emperor Zhou and Marcus, who had become the Roman emperor, he has repeatedly delayed his trip to Athens. He was completely obsessed with the alien style of Rome. The wines of Rome and the huge sea fish in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the unique taste but endless aftertastes made him deeply fascinated by it. Some of the sea fish produced here are larger than those of adults, and there is no need to worry about fish bones stuck in the throat made by the fish sashimi. How can people like Dongyangjun who love fish are willing to let go? They have to eat at least two meals a day, and they will have diarrhea after eating, and they will have to eat it after being pulled! Bai Dong was already speechless.
In fact, in Bai Dong’s opinion, what my old friend Dongyang Jun said about loving the foreign style was simply an excuse. He wanted to stay in Rome for a few more days to declare the presence of Emperor Zhou!
The 100,000 troops outside the city of Rome belong to Qin, and the huge navy in the Istanbul harbour belongs to Qin. Even Marcus was successfully elected as the Roman emperor thanks to Bai Dong's plan and the support given by the Qin army. The Romans were not stupid? Can't we see that Qin is equivalent to Athens and Sparta in Greece? Ji Bian is unwilling to be just a small puppet, or even a puppet with a sense of existence.
Bai Dong and Ying Quliang will not reveal this little thought of the "Zhou Royal Family". After all, the United Nations in China is still responsible for the Zhou royal family in name. In the past decade of the first establishment of the United Nations, the title of the Zhou emperor was an indispensable and important bargaining for the Qin State. It has been used by others. Can't they allow themselves to satisfy themselves spiritually?
What's more, Ji Bian was also extremely smart. When Dongyang Jun, who represented him in Rome, had already left enough interests for Qin when he signed a series of "bilateral agreements" with the Romans. For example, the right to lease the port of Qierchey was directly authorized to Qin by the Zhou emperor. The new port to be built on the Iberian Peninsula in the future will also be actually controlled by Qin. In this way, the most important supply port in the Mediterranean is completely in the hands of Qin. As long as the princes of the various countries want to develop in the New World, they must look at Qin's expression.
In return, Qin will promote the Zhou emperor and Zhou royal family in the entire Western society, so that the Chinese royal family can truly appear on the world stage. Although it is still a false reputation, it will at least affect the false reputation of the whole world. Ji Bian should be satisfied. If it weren't for Bai Dong, the cheapest man, the Zhou royal family would still have to worry about food and clothing now.
The longer I was in Rome, the more the news that the Dongyang Lord sent back made the royal family frightened. Pang Juan and Silde, two war madmen, had already begun a huge war to conquer the West with the four Roman legions, and divided their troops into three groups to directly take the lair of Gaul, Iberian and Carthaginians. This was just by land. At the same time, the Chinese coalition led by Sun Bin was gathering near the Istanbul port. The 100,000 Chinese navy will soon transform into the Chinese navy that ran rampant in the Mediterranean, which is even larger than the Persian navy that year.
Opening this sea route is for the whole of China. Of course, the old Qin people cannot just sacrifice. The team of the lineup began to land in Persia through the Persian Gulf and gathered at the Istanbul port two months ago. With great interests in the future and the absolute strength of the Qin State, Sun Bin, who had been practicing water wars for many days in the Istanbul port, is now directly holding Qin, Wei, Han, Zhao, Chu, Qi, Yue, Yan, Lu, Song, and Wei 11 countries, and like his war-crazy senior brother, it will set off a bloody storm in the Mediterranean!
However, what Pang Juansilde and the Roman army had to deal with the Gauls, Carthaginians and Iberians, but Sun Bin's "union" was just to deter the Mediterranean countries. In the eyes of the Mediterranean countries, the strength of the army alone was not truly powerful, and an overwhelming navy was the real overlord. Therefore, no matter the Persian Empire, Rome, Athens, and Sparta, they were basically inseparable from the army and the navy. Their army could set up the most rigorous square formation on land, and when they arrived on the ship, they were all good players like white stripes in the waves. Even the Hippolar War finally decided the victory at sea.
Pang Juan wants to destroy the enemy, while Sun Bin’s mission is to let these Westerners see clearly that China can rule the land and the ocean!
"The only variable. in Greece."
Dongyang Jun has had diarrhea recently, but his mind has become more clear-headed. After staying in Rome for half a month, Bai Dong finally pulled him onto the sea boat to Athens. Looking at the vast sea, the old oriental man said like a philosopher: "And the variables of Greece, in Athens and Sparta Baizi, how are you going to treat Greece and Sparta?"
Bai Dong glanced at Dongyang Jun and laughed loudly: "I knew that Dongyang Jun was not just a hot bath in Rome and ate fish sashimi. I didn't expect that Dongyang Jun had already had such an understanding of Western forms in less than half a month, which made me very impressed."
"You boy don't come here. Do you really think I can only eat and drink? The Greek city-state was originally strong, but over the past twenty years, Sparta's rise has a very meaning to come from behind. The Greek city-states are divided into two major forces, namely the city-state alliance with Athens and the core and the city-state alliance with Sparta as the core. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. No matter which one China cooperates with, it will inevitably be enemies with the other. Tell me, which one would you choose? Don't tell me that the emperor will decide this matter, nor do you push it to Ying Quliang. Who in China knows that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the West and Qin was in the West? Is it your Bai Ziding?"
"What if Dongyang Jun is the choice?"
Bai Dong glanced at him and Dongyang Jun’s analysis was right. This old guy had only taken half a month to understand Greece so much, and it would be a pity not to be an old spy.
"Sparta is the capital of warriors. All the Spartan warriors are brave. If they can become ally of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to China. You have to check and balance the Romans. The Spartans are much more useful than the Athenians."
"What? Is this Dongyang Jun's opinion?"
Bai Dong smiled unconsciously and shook his head.
"Don't you choose Sparta? This makes me wonder. Everyone in the world knows that eagles must be friends with eagles, but they cannot be friends with Little Queer. Sparta is the eagle of the West, and the Athenians are simply docile sheep compared to them. Do you want to form an alliance with the sheep?"
