Chapter 768
Letting Emperor Tuo go back to Rome with Gan Ning was not just a promise, but the most important thing was to let Rome's capable people understand a truth; it turned out that Emperor Tuo, who was only a small centurion in the Roman army, became a slave, was promoted to a general through his own efforts and became a senior general of the Han Dynasty. Such a thing would definitely cause a sensation when propaganda was promoted in Rome, and let more Roman talents flow into the Han Dynasty. This was Lu Ning's real purpose.
Guo Jia said: "Then let the Emperor follow Gan Ning! This is indeed beneficial to attracting Rome people."
Lu Ning said: "Tell Lu Su, Gan Ning and Emperor Tuo. If the progress goes well, let Emperor Tuo go out to buy or rent a place from the Roman Empire to build a pier and castle as our ocean base there; of course, the premise is to sign an agreement with the Roman Empire to establish diplomatic relations. Even if the place rented is the embassy of our Han Dynasty in the Roman Empire, it must be protected by the Roman Empire and no one can enter; our embassy there is a neutral territory, and the security of the embassy must be responsible for the Roman Empire."
Guo Jia said: "What is the embassy?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "It is where we rent a piece of land there to use as an office. In principle, the embassy border area is within our territory. Of course, no one can break in, otherwise it will be considered an invasion of the territory."
Tian Chou said: "Lord, since that's the case, will the Romans agree?"
Lu Ning said: "As long as we sign an agreement with Rome and establish diplomatic relations, there should be no problem; Besides, Rome can also set up an embassy in our Han territory!"
Guo Jia said: "Master, you have so many new ideas."
Khan! This is a household name in later generations, what is this new thing!
Lu Ning said: "Fengxiao, Zitai, you both need to arrange more intelligence personnel to follow Ganning and Lusu's caravans to Rome. We have to collect all kinds of information about the Roman Empire for a long time. Of course, we also need to collect all kinds of books and technical information. If you find that there are good talents, you must find a way to get us from the Han Dynasty."
Guo Jia and Tian Chou are both spy leaders in charge of intelligence under Lu Ning. Although they are not on the same intelligence network, their respective focus is different. Manager Guo Jia mainly focuses on military intelligence; Manager Tian Chou mainly focuses on economic and technological intelligence; of course, the other two networks are collecting, and there is no division.
Since Rome is so powerful, it is certain to collect Rome's intelligence. This is a plan for the future. This has long-term significance for the country. It cannot be relaxed and must be strengthened.
Guo Jia and Tian Chou said in unison: "Lord, start making arrangements right away."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Fengxiao, Zitai, you must carefully select the people who stay in Rome, and explain the relevant matters clearly. Never make any mistakes. They are fighting independently there, and they must be able to face various unexpected situations, and they must be mentally prepared to devote themselves at any time. To put it bluntly, they are all unknown heroes, who are making contributions to the Han Dynasty and the people in secret."
Tian Chou said: "Lord, you are right! Our intelligence personnel have been working in obscurity. There are no bright wreaths on their heads, and there is no enviable reputation. Everything is made secretly."
Lu Ning said: "Fengxiao and Zitai, those who have made outstanding contributions should remember that after they exit the system, they should also strengthen management, but they should give more material care in life and material things."
After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said, "Especially the intelligence personnel who go overseas are not only a hard problem, but also a huge risk. Some people don't even have the chance to return to the Han Dynasty and will be buried overseas."
Lu Ning said: "The lies sent to Rome must focus on collecting Rome's military, economic, political, cultural, talent, geography, customs and other related information in detail. In general, it is all about collecting all kinds of information; we lack the information about Luo Ji too much, and just collecting a little from Fars, which is far from enough."
Guo Jia and Tian Chou said, "Abide by the order!"
Lu Ning said: "How is our embassy in Fars running? Nothing went wrong?"
Tian Chou said: "It is normal and no encounters happening. Rome is fighting Piss at this time. Persia has no hostility towards us. Do you still want to join forces with us to deal with Rome?"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "There is no need to form an alliance. We can consider selling some weapons and equipment to Persia, so that we can make some money and at the same time, it can also inhibit the rapid infiltration of Roman power into Persia. We cannot let Rome eat Persia again, otherwise Rome will be too powerful."
In fact, Lu Ning also knew in his heart that Rome could not destroy Persia this time, it was nothing more than finding a reason to sell weapons.
Guo Jia said: "My lord, even if you want to sell weapons to Persia, you should sell them selectively."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "That's for sure. Warships cannot be sold. Crossbows, crossbows, crossbows, crossbow cannons, crossbow beds, etc. cannot be sold. That is, some second-rate weapons are sold, which are considered weapons eliminated by our military."
Mi Zhu said: "Lord, if we can sell weapons, then our ocean trade will definitely make more money."
Lu Ning said: "Actually, when we sell second-rate weapons overseas, we should not consider the big countries such as Persia. We should consider selling them to small countries in those places, so that we can make more money. After all, small countries are very backward in this regard and need them; while Rome and Persia's casting technology is not worse than us. If it is not a top-notch product, it will be difficult to have a market."
Tian Chou said: "Let your subordinates find out the specific situation first before making a decision. Anyway, there is no rush to sell weapons."
Gu Yong said: "Lord, what kind of products should be organized for the ocean trade in Rome this time?"
Lu Ning didn't know it, but after a trip to Fars Province a few years ago, he knew that the ocean-going trade was really rewarding, especially silk products were the best-selling.
Lu Ning said: "It is better to focus on silk products, with some ceramics, perfumes, cosmetics, and handicrafts. It is best to consult Darwin. After all, Darwin knows better the needs of Rome and is more clear about the interests of Romans. Of course, it is best to put Roman labels on products sold overseas, which will have better results. However, you can also consider special production for exported products and stick corresponding label instructions according to different sales places, so that ordinary people in the sales place will know what it is. In that case, the consumer population in our product market will become larger and larger, and the demand will also increase accordingly. In places where conditions permit, we can also open some retail shops and send our spy personnel out, so that the lies and lies will have an identity, so that the lies and lies will carry out related work."
Mi Zhu said: "It is indeed a good idea to print foreign languages for export products, so we should do this."
Gu Yong said: "Since that's the case, I will arrange for personnel to be responsible for the handling of this matter."
