Chapter 638 [We are all literate people]
If you wear it thousands of times, you don’t wear it, not to mention that this is not a flattery. If you say that the country with the most brilliant culture in the Eastern and Western worlds is China and Athens, it is too inaccurate to say that Greece is too vulgar and unwritten city-states like Sparta have real culture?
After hearing what Hua Xia Baizi said, the top nobles in Athens felt so good. They felt that the 108,000 pores of their bodies were all open. How could this Hua Xia Baizi please him? He was really as gentle as jade, making people feel like spring breeze. Even Aristotle narrowed his eyes with a smile. He had been to China in person and had seen the prosperity of Chinese literary power. Athens was praised by Hua Xia Baizi so much, which made him feel extremely proud.
"Bai Zi is indeed the best friend of Athens! I have to represent Athens. Thank you Bai Zi for your importance to Athens. When Bai Zi represents China and Rome, he did not forget to leave the benefits to Athens. In fact, we have known it for a long time and were extremely grateful! The most noble friend of Athens, I don't know what China needs Athens to do? I think all the citizens of Athens will accept it with pleasure!"
Gene and Jais looked at each other and saw a look of great joy in each other's eyes. They only learned part of the content of the alliance between China and Rome. They really couldn't figure out why China wanted to give the benefits to Athens. They couldn't help but suspect that the news was wrong. Now after listening to Bai Dong's words, they realized that everything was true. Bai Zi said, we are all cultural people, civilized people, Romans and Spartans, and they are definitely not as good as that.
"In the West, in the Aegean Sea, the United Nations in China needs a starting point, and I think this starting point should be Athens."
Bai Dong smiled and looked at the Athenian nobles and continued: "Huaxia can offer sufficient conditions for this. The benefits promised to Athens in the Covenant between China and Rome are only part of the benefits. As for the remaining conditions, Athens can offer the consul and the chief general. You must not be polite, just give the conditions casually."
"Huaxia let us set any conditions?"
Gene was stunned for a while before asking carefully: "Athenia must first know that the starting point that China needs is."
"There are many countries in the West, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Macedonia, etc. The combined army of China and Rome can seize their land, but it is difficult to truly erase a country or even a nation. Therefore, military conquest is always just a starting method. Effective control is the way to rule. Your Excellency the Consul and the Chief General believe that you should have a certain understanding of China's International Law? I wonder how the two view this law?"
"What a great law. When we see the Greek translation of this law, we are surprised that the Eastern China actually had such advanced legal ideas. This surpassed Rome for at least two hundred years and fifty years!"
"Haha, since you have read the International Law of China, I believe you should see that this law is not only aimed at China, but also regulates all countries in the world, such as Athens."
Chief General Jais was stunned for a moment: "Why did Bai Zi say that Athens wants to join the United Nations in China?"
"It is precisely this, but it is not the United Nations of China, but the United Nations. If Athens is willing to join, we will consider giving Athens a title as a member of the Security Council. You must know that even Rome has not been given? Whether Rome is qualified to join depends on how they perform in cooperation with China. Now the envoy of the Zhou emperor is here, and my famous Chinese scholar Meng Ke is also used as a verbal evidence. As long as Athens is willing to join, they will be protected and aided by the United Nations in the future, including economic, cultural and military aspects, China will provide these assistance to Athens at the right time!"
When Dongyang Jun heard this, he focused on the key points. This time he came to represent the Zhou Emperor, the nominal supreme ruler of China. After Bai Dong had negotiated with Western countries, he could just stamp the emperor's seal on the agreement. The job was easy and pleasant. I really hoped that I would continue to do it.
Master Meng looked at Bai Dong deeply. He was also one of the editors of the International Law. He once fully affirmed in the "Qin Times" that this law is the essential embodiment of the "kingdom idea" and is the best interpretation of the enlightenment of "many helplessness" and the best interpretation of "being helplessness and few helplessness". Now that he saw his "children" and "growing up" and actually rushed out of the country and heading to the world, he was extremely satisfied.
"Also include military aid?" Jais's eyes lit up and nodded slightly to Gene.
"Palas Athena, God of Athens! Now the opportunity for Athens has finally come. This messenger from the East must have received your oracle."
Jais was so excited. Athens, which claimed to have 30,000 citizens and could mobilize 50,000 troops at any time, has been bullied by Sparta over the years! How many people does Sparta have? Their citizens are even less than 1,000! The army they mobilized is only 5,000! But such a sparsely populated city-state has organized an alliance that is stronger than Athens! As the chief general of Athens, he has been holding his breath for twenty years! As long as he can teach the Spartans a lesson, let alone joining the United Nations, he will not hesitate to kneel down and kowtow to the Chinese people now!
After a full fifty years of war, Athens and Sparta are now dying!
Gene knew what Jais was thinking at first glance. Perhaps the chief general was right. Athens alone was not enough to defeat the fierce Spartans. Even the elite Roman legion lacked the courage to fight the Spartan god of war head-on. But can the Chinese army do it? Of course, he knew that China had already 200,000 soldiers near the Mediterranean, but the King of Xerxes also claimed to have a million troops. As a result, in the battle of Hot Spring Pass, three hundred Spartans killed tens of thousands of Persian troops!
However, this is the last chance for Athens, and it is also an undeniable opportunity. Gene can imagine what the consequence would be if Athens rejected China. Athens is no longer Athens during the Hippolar War, and this ancient city with a long history can no longer bear the accident.
He looked at Jais, finally made up his mind, turned to look at the deputies of the 500-man parliament, and shouted: "My Chinese friends have promised Athens that if we get the support of China, we will have the opportunity to defeat the Spartans and cleanse the shame of Athens. Are you willing? Will you object?"
"No, no, no, we unanimously agree to join the United Nations and defeat the Spartans! No, it is to completely eliminate the Spartans and kill them all! Huaxia Baizi, envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can you help Athens?"
The representatives of the parliament were excited and passed the consul's proposal for the first time unanimously. In the long war of fifty years, each of them had relatives to take the death of the war, and the Spartans had a deep blood hatred with them!
"As for a brutal and tyrannical barbaric country like Sparta, which lacks civilization and culture, China and Athens have the same view, and it must be erased!"
Dongyang Jun suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "This is the order of the Emperor Zhou of China! The Chinese army is ready to go!"
