"Your Majesty, we Rome has formed an alliance with a group of Seris people, this kind of thing."
"Even if it is found out that they did not accept any orders, is Your Majesty willing to trust them completely?"
Splius did not directly answer little Hannibal's shocked expression, but asked a question.
The old minister suddenly gave him a surprising and somewhat awkward conclusion. Little Hannibal didn't have time to digest it, and then his attention was directly diverted. It was like a magic trick.
But when asked by Splius.
"this,"
Little Hannibal lowered his head to think. After a while, he raised his head again with a solemn expression.
"Spurius, you mean?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Marcus." Old Man Spurius looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a smile, then turned to look at Marcus, and then said, "In fact, no matter what the truth is in this matter,
It doesn’t matter what evidence is found, because even if there is evidence that they did not cooperate with the Tang Empire, we cannot confirm whether they will fall to the Tang Empire in the future when Rome needs their hands to be stained with blood."
"Splius."
Marcus's face was a little pale, and he felt like he had suddenly seen a broader world, a broader, crueler, human world.
However, under his pale face, he was actually a little embarrassed, because when the old man reminded him, he suddenly realized that, in fact, Spruius was right!
Thinking about it rationally, as he said, no matter how Rome plans its diplomatic relations with those young people in Salis, Rome is actually always facing risks.
To put it more bluntly, risk, since it exists, cannot really be eliminated because of a momentary flash of wisdom.
What people can really do is to always prepare for the worst on the premise of the existence of risks, and then seek better results and better results on this basis. If you are lucky, you will eventually eliminate all negative costs.
Eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable range.
And once the risks and costs cannot be eliminated, then people can only live with all this.
These simple truths.
At this moment, Marcus suddenly realized that he was indeed still a young man.
After all, he was not as knowledgeable as the old man in front of him about things involving life and death. But what Marcus didn't expect was.
While he was sighing and thinking secretly, Spurius had explained the reason clearly to little Hannibal, which made little Hannibal couldn't help but nod his head with a tired look on his face.
Obviously, the emperor also admitted that risks existed. But just after Splius finished speaking, he smiled and said, "However, now that it knows these invisible dangers, Rome only needs to adjust its strategy to avoid the dangers."
.Play games outside of danger.”
"Beyond danger?" "Beyond danger?"
As soon as Splius finished speaking, little Hannibal and Marcus were startled at the same time and looked at the old man in confusion - obviously, the old man's words sounded a bit difficult to pronounce.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that there is a lot of information in it. Although I can't grasp the key at once, it sounds like the old man really has some ideas in his mind. If so, then maybe there is a solution to this matter!
The two of them were confused, and Spurius said slowly, "The danger can be wind and waves, or lightning strikes. If you regard this kind of thing as a kind of terrain, it is not impossible to walk even if there are many dangers."
"After all, these young people from Selis are from Selis. No matter how favorable terms we propose to cooperate with them and form an alliance, they still have the possibility of betraying Rome and turning to Selis. However, it is precisely because they are Selis.
Lisi people.”
"After leaving the motherland, living and fighting alone in a place extremely far away from home, for a long time, even the most heroic warriors in the Roman legions became tired and confused."
When Spurius talked about the key point, his eyes shone brightly, "As long as the time is long enough, they will miss Selis first. This time is the most dangerous and most likely to cooperate.
The Tang Empire did bad things to Rome!"
"However, as long as this point in time is passed - it is impossible for them to go back anyway, and their living conditions overseas cannot return to the state of the rich land of Selis. At this time, even if the Tang Empire really gives them
They have issued orders to deal with Rome, but the chance that they will actually become enemies of Rome is also very low!"
"The way to crack the risk, ultimately, seems to depend on time."
Spurius explained the strategy in his mind, and finally sighed like a summary. He once again returned to the appearance of the old man who seemed to have no energy and lack of sleep at any time, and his eyes were wrinkled at any time.
Squeezing and being forced to squint.
However, the moment Splius finished speaking, the four eyes of little Hannibal and Marcus lit up at the same time.
This idea is so clear!
Yes, as he said, the Tang Empire may have a strong national power, and the quality of its citizens is equally strong. These young Seris pirates may be eliminated after a period of time, and evolve into groups after groups.
Powerful pirates and even separatist regimes.
However, no matter how extraordinary the Tang Empire was, no matter how extraordinary the people of the Tang Empire were,
All human power is truly vulnerable in the face of time!
No matter how powerful the Tang Empire's idle chess players were, as long as enough time passed, the thoughts and tendencies of these young people in Salis would inevitably change.
In other words, the Roman Empire still had a chance.
Diplomatic alliances still make sense!
Little Hannibal was so excited that he asked someone to fetch gold and reward these two outstanding ministers on the spot - and at the same time, he thought of a key point even more excitedly.
The time when "meaning" appeared may not even be as far away as Splius and Marcus thought. According to the "King"'s reminder, the Selis people have accumulated a large amount of historical texts and struggle experience, which must mean
Their people must have changeable temperaments.
So, this naturally means that the time when Rome can really take advantage of those Selis people is closer than it thinks!
