In fact, Marcus doesn't feel that there is anything to be nervous about the current situation. The direction of action this time was also what Hannibal had planned for early in the morning.
He even said that even if these young pirates from Selis refused to cooperate with the Romans, it would not matter, because in that case, he would just form an alliance with various other native tribes, and then everyone would work together to destroy these Tang Empires.
The power is enough.
It's that simple!
To put it bluntly, although the Tang Empire was powerful, its gaming level was high enough, and it also had the help of monster-like powerful figures like Li Sheng.
After all, at this stage, whether it is the Tang Empire or Rome, even if they have such things as gunpowder and grenades, it is possible to attack the world, but the progress is nothing to brag about, and it is not fast.
Today, at least more than half of the land in the world is neither under the control of the Tang Empire nor under the control of Rome. The native tribes in various places do not care at all whether they should keep slaves or rob and rob.
They had no idea that there were two such giant behemoths colliding in the world.
To find some allies to cooperate with Rome to crush the Tang Empire, that might be a bit too much. It belongs to the fantasy series, but if we only talk about finding some allies to defeat those filial sons and grandsons of the Tang Empire, this is actually quite difficult.
But it's really not that exaggerated, because since Rome can provide weapon support to the pirates around the Tang Empire in the neighboring countries on the south coast of Selis, it can do the same thing around the pirates of Selis.
Of course, if it was such a simple mission, diplomats of his own level would not be used. He should still be in America now, traveling north and south to handle relations with various tribes for His Majesty Emperor Hannibal.
, and by the way collect further information on routes to South America, etc.
The reason why he was sent to do this job was naturally because if these young pirates from Selis refused to cooperate, they could just recruit other native tribes to form an alliance to attack the Tang Dynasty.
And if there is a possibility of cooperation in the minds of these young people, then you must be responsible for negotiating with them about cooperation! Of course, in addition to cooking the "possibility", of course it also includes exploring this possibility. There is no possibility
When it comes to sex, you need to use your sharp tongue to make it possible.
Of course, Marcus has never heard of the phrase "a sharp tongue". Just as the word itself is used, it immediately reflects what it is, that is, the culture of China, those accumulated over a long history.
All kinds of "meme", Marcus doesn't know these things.
Marcus is only half-familiar with the Selis language, which is barely enough for normal conversation and communication.
But this does not affect Marcus. He is still quite confident in the ideological heritage of Greece. However, it obviously still takes some effort to turn ideas into persuasiveness. To put it bluntly, it is precisely this time that he was sent out.
main reason.
Although he doesn’t know why, Marcus always thought that the Roman aristocrats who only studied philosophy and geometry were all useless people with good clothes and fine food. Of course, it has been proved that geometry is still useful, which is why his family did not follow Xiaohan
His Majesty Nibal has a blood feud, and the elders in the family are currently helping His Majesty build ships because they are still of some use.
Then, only philosophy is left.
When it comes to this kind of really hard-core diplomatic mission, Marcus has a sense of music, and philosophy is actually useful. Maybe its value will not be revealed at ordinary times, but once it comes to this kind of crisis, there is a good one
The mouth you use is really valuable.
In comparison, even Marcus had to admit that Rome was not only inferior to the Tang Empire in shipbuilding and artillery, but also in philosophy.
Roman philosophy, of course, comes from Greece, and it basically comes from those classics.
And Selis?
It is said that in ancient times—actually the era when sages such as Socrates and Plato in Greece were active—there were hundreds of schools of philosophy in Selis.
Marcus simply couldn't imagine what the hundreds of philosophical schools were. Are these Selis people really human? But fortunately, looking over and over, after much deliberation, the competition between empires ultimately depends on soldiers and horses, so gradually
Marcus let go of the shock and confusion and stopped wasting his brain cells.
But this time.
After leaving the old nobles of Selis, I was about to deal with the young people of Selis. On the way, on this boat, I felt the slow but incomparably powerful waves of the vast ocean -
— To be precise, it’s the feeling of waves.
This is something that can only be felt in good weather with no wind and waves. Compared with the fierce and obvious high winds and waves, this slow wave feeling makes people feel that the ocean is really unfathomable and has infinite resources.
Feeling the unfathomable depth of this sea, Marcus felt inexplicably that the young people of Salis that he was about to meet but had not yet met were equally unfathomable.
but.
This makes no sense, because I am also a young person, and those young people in Selis are also young people, so there is no reason why I am not as good as them. The key point is that these people have already mastered the information, and they are all not doing well in Selis.
Although I don’t quite understand why these guys suddenly came out to become pirates.
I learned about this matter from His Majesty Hannibal the Younger, and then I went out to sea all the way, met those old nobles of Selis, and even now that I had finished talking about everything and reboarded the ship, I still felt that
Things that I don’t quite understand.
Of course, Marcus felt that this kind of thing shouldn't be that important, because those people were already pirates after all, and the pirate group they joined before was a large pirate group that caused huge losses to the Tang Empire.
And since they are that kind of force, then even if the Tang Empire intends to use them to carry out de facto border opening activities, it should not be too concerned about it - if you think about it this way, you don't even have to worry about the "public offering" thing
, because even if this strategy was thought up by Li Sheng, considering that the Emperor of the Tang Empire did not care about the life and death of these people, it is conceivable that even if this strategy is very useful, it will not be implemented particularly strongly.
.
From this point of view, things are still promising.
But there is always a strange uneasiness in my heart, and I feel that my trip is like sailing into a completely dark and chaotic realm.
This was strange. After much thought, Marcus couldn't grasp where this feeling of uneasiness came from.
