Then, little Hannibal thought for a moment, then frowned and asked seriously, "You said you have two things to report to me, what is the other one?"
In fact, little Hannibal was also a little dissatisfied. How could the dignified diplomat come back after being out for such a short time without getting anything done? Of course, the rumors about the big island in the southern sea of Selis are very important, but seriously
Diplomatic missions and alliance matters. I couldn't think that this young man had already solved them in such a short period of time.
Marcus was also nervous, but he still said seriously, "Your Majesty, I am not sure about the alliance."
"not sure?"
Little Hannibal was stunned, "What does this mean?"
This is not because there is a sudden language barrier between little Hannibal and Marcus, or because little Hannibal grew up in Eastern Europe. Although they both speak Latin, the accent is wrong and he didn’t hear it clearly.
But I feel a little weird.
Just run back because you are not sure?
You know, the profession of a diplomat looks like a civil servant, and sounds like a civil servant, but his true essence is always that of a military commander! He is responsible for the survival of a country and the direction of its strategic situation!
Then, professional ethics should be the same.
Even if you are not sure, but the mission has been entrusted to you, you don't work hard to find a way to get it done, and you just run back on your own? Is there anyone who can be a diplomat like this?
If it were normal times, with little Hannibal's serious character, there would be no need for such a minister to live.
Such cowardice is already an insult to the dignity of Rome!
But after all, this young man had just made a contribution today. Although it may not be a real contribution, it was not without gain. Therefore, little Hannibal did not get angry immediately, but just asked in a questioning tone.
Of course, the tone of this question also made Marcus nervous for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his back again.
The majesty of this emperor, who is always covered with steel and blood, is too heavy.
However, Marcus was only nervous, not really afraid, and he had a clear conscience.
It was not because he was afraid that his mission could not be completed that he arbitrarily returned to this place in northern America to ask for an audience with the emperor, hoping to let him go, but because he could not control whether his work would be completed or not - this is more similar to that of later generations.
Scientific researchers themselves are not sure of the results of their experiments, so they must ask their superiors to review them directly.
Then Marcus naturally expressed his doubts.
In short, the three groups of Seris pirates that I have been in contact with so far have all agreed to the alliance cooperation too readily, as readily as a charlatan who claims to sell snake oil to cure all diseases.
Unfortunately, this matter is directly related to Rome's strategic situation in the near future. If successful, it will definitely cause considerable trouble to the Tang Empire - those who understand the Tang Empire are best able to deal with the Tang Empire and are proficient in medical knives.
Bleed the most blood.
That's why I chose to run back and ask for His Majesty's instructions.
When little Hannibal heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned - his first reaction was, what the hell is this reason?
Just because of this, you abandon your mission and sneak back. Are you loyal to Rome like this?
but.
The next moment, little Hannibal came back to his senses and understood what the young man in front of him said and what he was referring to.
This seems to be a real problem.
Just as everyone in this camp, including himself and his ministers, knew at this moment, the Tang Empire was not in vain. These Selis people had the ability to fight directly on the battlefield, long-term games, and create various things.
, it can be said that they are all unique in the world and extremely powerful.
Not to mention myself, even if the ancestor Romulus comes here, it is hard to say whether he can deal with such a difficult enemy!
Such a dangerous enemy agreed to cooperate with the enemy so easily.
Doesn't this just seem weird?
"Hmm."
Little Hannibal rubbed his chin and pondered, his face once again submerged in the shadow of the bonfire, silent.
If we say that the Tang Empire was such a terrifying opponent, it was a life-and-death enemy that only met once in Rome's life - starting from the beginning of the founding of His Majesty Romulus.
They are good at everything, can create incredible things, and are as calm and pragmatic as poisonous snakes in all games.
So, if things go wrong with this alliance, there may really be problems, it may really be a trap!
And if there is really a trap in this alliance.
To be precise, what will happen next after Marcus's alliance work is completed? There will really be a bunch of allies by then, so whether it is joint operations or funding of supplies and weapons, it will undoubtedly be a huge drain.
huge project.
At this time, the Tang Empire suddenly rose up in rebellion. Rome, ah, isn't this just a pill every minute?
this.
If this is the possibility.
Then, even if I were this young man, I would probably have to return to the motherland immediately to meet the emperor and discuss the matter clearly before taking the next step!
This is really true.
Little Hannibal couldn't help it at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yes, these Thalys pirates are all over the ocean, and they have settled down and established camps and cities in who knows where.
If the alliance is really completed, then if Rome wants to cooperate with this alliance, it really can't be a small trick, it must be a big deal - at this time, the Tang Empire has been planning for a long time to suddenly attack? Damn it.
Little Hannibal almost broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at the young man for a while and sighed with great emotion!
"well."
"You did a good job. You should come back and report this matter to me."
"But, what do you think about this matter?"
Although the danger inside was indeed extremely high, little Hannibal soon calmed down.
This is what military struggle is like. It requires both bravery and caution. However, although caution is required, one cannot be directly intimidated by the opponent.
Being too scared to do anything is not considered calm!
You still have to show off your moves. And in order to show off your moves, the most important thing right now is to first find out whether the other party is laying a trap!
When Marcus heard this, he felt relieved. Although he had doubts about the matter, he was here to see the emperor after all. Of course, what he was most worried about was whether he would be punished for running away and returning home. However, it seems that His Majesty is still quite
