1399 Connecting the horizontal and vertical(2/2)
.In this will, Caesar designated his sister's three grandsons as his heirs: three-quarters of Octavian's property was given to him, and the remaining one-quarter was given to Lucius Pinarius and Cventus.
Petius shared; he appointed guardians for his possible children, some of whom were actually murderers involved in the conspiracy; he also appointed Octavian as a member of his family, passed his name on to him, and stipulated the virtues
Cymus Brutus was the second in line of succession; in addition, he also reserved the gardens on the Tiber for public use by the people and gave each citizen 300 sestertius.
Almost none of those who conspired to assassinate him survived more than three years after his death. All were found guilty and died in different ways: some died in shipwrecks, some died in Octavian and other Caesar's tribe
In the war that followed, some committed suicide with the same dagger that assassinated Caesar.
Caesar was 58 years old when he died. After his death, he was included in the ranks of the gods according to the decree and was revered as "Holy Julius". Caesar was the founder of the Roman Empire, so he was regarded by some historians as the incompetent figure of the Roman Empire.
The crowned emperor is known as Caesar the Great. Some historians even regard him as the first emperor of the Roman Empire, and the day he took office as a lifelong dictator is the birth day of the Roman Empire. His influence has affected some Roman monarchs and others.
His name "Caesar" was used as the title of emperor; later the monarchs of the German Empire and the Russian Empire also used "Caesar" as the title of emperor. What Li Cong said made them feel frightened. There has always been such a saying in Europe. I think
Anyone who plots against Caesar will have no good results. Now Li Cong regards himself as Caesar, and what have these people become? According to Li Cong, they are the despicable assassins.
Well, they are really helpless about Li Cong's shame. You are obviously the aggressor, why do you act as if we have deceived you now?
"Mr. Li, we also know about Caesar. What we need to discuss now is the matter of Corsica. You know very well the importance of the Mediterranean to our Europa. To put it bluntly, because of the decline of African power, it seems that here
Our inland sea is the same. If you control this place, will we still have a way to survive? If Mr. Li is really like this, I think we can only go to war." Being able to say these two words is because Li Cong is here again.
In the case of Lao Maozi's big victory, this guy's courage is absolutely acceptable.
What is the Mediterranean? It is what he calls the inland sea of Europeans. Corsica’s position in the Mediterranean can be said to be particularly important. The Mediterranean is surrounded by the European continent to the north, the African continent to the south and the Asian continent to the east.
It is about 4,000 kilometers long and about 1,800 kilometers at its widest point from north to south. Its area (including the Sea of Marmara, but excluding the Black Sea) is about
51
000 square kilometers (97
000 square miles), it is the world's largest intercontinental sea. The Mediterranean Sea is bounded by the Apennine Peninsula, the Tunis Strait between Sicily and Tunisia, and is divided into east and west parts. The average depth is 1,450 meters and the deepest is 5,121 meters. The salinity is relatively high.
, with a maximum of 39.5‰. The deepest recorded point in the Mediterranean is the Ionian Basin south of Greece, which is below sea level.
121 meters (1
800 feet). The Mediterranean Sea is the oldest sea in the world, older than the Atlantic Ocean.
The Mediterranean Sea occupies an important position in both transportation and strategy. It leads to the Atlantic Ocean via the Strait of Gibraltar to the west, the Black Sea via the Turkish Strait to the northeast, and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal in the southeast. It is an important waterway between Europe, Asia and Africa, and also connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
Important passages between countries. The important seaports along the coast include Gibraltar (UK), Marseille (France), Genoa, Naples (Italy), Split, Rijeka (Croatia), Durrës (Albania), Algiers (Algeria)
), Port Said (Egypt), etc.
The western part of the Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar, which is 1,443 kilometers wide and 90 kilometers long. It is connected to the Black Sea by the Dardanelles Strait, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosporus Strait in the northeast. In 1999, the Suez Canal was opened
With the opening of navigation, the southeastern Mediterranean can be connected to the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and out of the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea. From then on, from Western Europe to the Indian Ocean, the shortcut through the Strait of Gibraltar - the Suez Canal - the Red Sea will save 10,000 kilometers in distance compared to going around the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa.
above,
This has made the Mediterranean Sea the busiest sea route in the world. Currently, there are more than 2,000 ships of various types sailing in the Mediterranean Sea every day. About 85% of all kinds of materials imported from Western Europe are transported through the Mediterranean Sea. Among them, most of the
Important environmentally friendly oil, electricity, food and other materials.
As an intercontinental sea, the Mediterranean Sea is relatively calm. With its winding coastline, numerous islands, and many natural and good ports, it has become a transportation artery connecting the three continents. Such conditions have made maritime trade prosperous in the Mediterranean Sea since ancient times.
It played an important role in the rise and development of ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Babylonian civilization, and ancient Greek civilization, and became the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Greek civilization, and the Roman Empire. It is now also one of the important places for maritime transportation in the world.
The Phoenicians, Cretans, Greeks, and later the Portuguese and Spanish were all nations with developed navigation industries. Famous navigators such as Columbus, Da Gama, Magellan, etc. all came from countries along the Mediterranean Sea.
.
The Mediterranean Sea is a transportation hub for the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is a shortcut between the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, it has an extremely important position in the economy, politics, and military. For a long time, the Mediterranean Sea has become a place for great powers to compete.
In the early 18th century, Britain regarded the Mediterranean as its "inner lake." When Napoleon was rampaging across Europe in the early 19th century, he wanted to seize British control of the Mediterranean. During World War I, the Mediterranean became an active area for the navies of both warring parties.
Areas of activity. During World War II, the German and Italian navies fought fiercely with the British navy in the Mediterranean. Today, Western powers are engaged in increasingly fierce competition in the Mediterranean. From World War II to the present,
The U.S. Sixth Fleet has always been based in the Mediterranean, and European naval ships often cruise here, exacerbating the tension. Judging from the number of ships, today's Mediterranean has become the sea area with the highest concentration of Western military warships. In order to
In order to protect the country's sovereignty and security, Europa had already proposed to have the Sixth Fleet leave the Mediterranean when it was founded. I really didn't expect that this wish has not been realized yet, and another powerful navy has arrived.
The so-called Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and Li has used this to describe it best from now on. This guy wants to control the Mediterranean in order to control the entire Europe. Although Corsica's position in the Mediterranean is not very serious, if this
Just the beginning is very fatal. Li Cong can definitely sweep across the entire Mediterranean in a short period of time. By then, they will not be able to stop it. At that time, there are fleets of energy groups everywhere in the Mediterranean.
, if they dislike someone, they will directly intercept it. The plane may drop a bomb on your head at any time. Thinking of this, Robert will never allow such a thing to happen.
"You two, I hope you don't refuse me first. In fact, someone agreed to my coming to the Mediterranean. Who is the most powerful navy here? Anyway, it's not me, nor you. My army can be invisible.
There is a reason why we arrived at Corsica unknowingly and occupied it." Li Cong's words immediately made these two people dumbfounded. No matter what he said, this guy was so amazing. At this moment, this guy was actually talking to a skeleton.
The people from the Society have united? Are you kidding me? Didn’t he just fall out with the people from the Skull and Bones Society? How could it happen now???
However, the two of them are very sure that what Li Cong said is true. There are no long-term friends, only long-term interests. This is definitely not wrong. They must have reached an agreement. Otherwise, why would the Sixth Fleet not express any expression at all?
, but the sacrifice must be their interests. At this moment, they also feel some powerlessness, a sense of powerlessness of a small country. Facing them, they are really a small country here. If only Li Cong himself
It’s still possible to expel them, but add the Sixth Fleet???
Although the Sixth Fleet does not have great military exploits, it has been able to deter them for decades, so it definitely has what it takes.
The 6th Fleet mainly operates in the Mediterranean region and is known as the modern Mediterranean Gendarmerie. After the formation of the fleet, it participated in almost every crisis response operation in the Mediterranean coastal areas and performed many major missions. During the US military's invasion of Lebanon in July 1958,
The 6th Fleet attacked the aircraft carriers USS Essex, USS Saratoga and the anti-submarine aircraft carrier USS Hornet to support the landing of 1500 Marines in Beirut. March 24, 1986, 25
On April 15, the 6th Fleet carried out Operation "Grass Fire". Aircraft carrier aircraft sank or damaged three Libyan missile speedboats off the coast of Libya, and destroyed several shore-based surface-to-air missile radar systems. On April 15, the
The commander of the 6th Fleet once again commanded the military strike against Libya. The USS America, the aircraft carrier Coral Sea and an Air Force F-F aircraft participated in the air strike against Libya. In 1991, the fleet participated in the Gulf War
War. From April 12, 1993 to December 20, 1995, the fleet participated in the "no-fly" operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina within the formation of NATO. From March 24 to June 1999, the 6th Fleet had a total of
More than 40 ships, together with other NATO forces in the name of the NATO Southern European Forces Naval Strike and Support Force, launched large-scale air strikes against the Yugoslav Alliance from the Adriatic Sea and land bases. In the first wave of air strikes, the 6th Fleet
The main battleship, the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea equipped with the Aegis system, launched the first Tomahawk cruise missile towards Yugoslavia. On the first day of air strikes against Yugoslavia,
The ship launched a total of nine Tomahawk cruise missiles in the southern Adriatic Sea. During the 78 days of air strikes, the U.S. Navy's 6th Fleet launched more than 600 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Yugoslavia.
, for a time, the consumption of Tomahawk-3 missiles in the U.S. Navy's inventory has bottomed out.
Of course, Li Cong would not participate in a fleet that only had history but no other abilities. Li Cong also looked at the strength of the Sixth Fleet. The Sixth Fleet has about 14,000 naval personnel. The headquarters of the Sixth Fleet is
In Gaeta, Italy: usually maintain 3 attack nuclear submarines (Seawolf class or Los Angeles class), 1 aircraft carrier group with 1 aircraft carrier, 6 surface combat ships, 1 fast support ship, amphibious dock transport ship multi-purpose amphibious assault
There are 2 ships, 2 oil ships, 1 ammunition ship, 1 supply ship, 1 tug munitions ship, 1 maritime prepositioned squadron including 4 support ships, equipped with equipment for 1 naval expeditionary force. The fleet generally has 20
At least 30 ships and about 10,000 troops are organized into 10 task forces. Namely: Task Force 60 Combat Force, Task Force 61 Amphibious Force, Task Force 62 Landing Force, Task Force 63
Fleet Service Force, Task Force 64 Ballistic Missile Submarine Force, Task Force 65 Mine Countermeasures Force, Task Force 66 Regional Antisubmarine Force, Task Force 67 Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Force, Task Force 68 Special Operations
Force, Task Force 69 Attack Submarine Force. About 2,000 Marines. 1 Marine Expeditionary Group, equipped with ships capable of carrying an amphibious readiness group, with heavy dynamism, and an Army aviation battle group.
With such a fleet becoming Li Cong's ally, Li Cong certainly laughed out loud at this time.
"Mr. Li, can I ask, what kind of agreement have you reached with the Skull and Bones Society?" Robert seemed to be a little unsteady at this time. This guy really felt that the sky was spinning at this moment. If he stood still
If he did, he would really fall down. Fortunately, he was sitting down at the moment.
"Haha, my request is very simple. It's just an island of Corsica. Of course, I will definitely make some concessions. For example, on the surface, they are still your country. I claim to the outside world that I am just renting a port.
, this place and several other historic sites will still be open to defense as usual. I will give this place to you for free. Although I also like this place, I feel that you need it more, so I will give it to you." Li Cong.
Although he pretended to be a good guy, in fact, Robert wanted to go up and punch Li Cong. This guy shot someone's things in his house and still happily negotiated terms with the owner. Such people are really rare. But now there are energy groups
With the Navy and the Fifth Fleet, even if I can rush out, how long will it take for this day? Is it necessary to finally swallow this bitter pill and really realize this guy's dream of Caesar? And that huge
empire?
