In short, Rome maintains an attitude towards the current war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty. It is best for both sides to fight for a longer time so that they can resell more supplies and so on.
Of course, occasionally there would inevitably be initiatives in Rome that wanted the two families to sit down and talk. Of course, the effect was basically zero. Vesutiva I would send an envoy to show his respect, and the Han Dynasty usually just
It means that I am still beating, I am still beating, and we will talk about it when I am tired of beating.
Rome means nothing about this. As for real mediation, forget it. Rome is still engaged in large-scale navigation. I heard that the situation in the Atlantic Ocean is not good recently. Rome has built a fleet to test the water in the Atlantic Ocean and is preparing to go next door.
Let’s see if we can grow something like sugar cane in mainland China.
As a result, not long after going to sea, there was an undersea earthquake. The tsunami almost wiped out the entire Roman fleet. Therefore, the Romans actually had little interest in the so-called mediation between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan. Anyway, they just talked about selling supplies.
When selling supplies, you should sell mercenaries. Selling mercenaries. To put it bluntly, isn't a covenant a relationship of interest?
Can the top empires really go out of their way to help their allies? What level of brains do you have to do such a thing?
Therefore, Rome watched the Kushans and the Han Dynasty take action, and provided humanitarian aid to the Kushans from time to time, so that the Kushans could get through the so-called transformation period as soon as possible. In this way, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty could be extended to a greater extent.
To be honest, Severus next door could not bear to fight the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty for a hundred years.
Anyway, according to Rome's assessment of Kushan's potential, it has a large population, sufficient management personnel, a relatively reasonable military structure, a complete inheritance of naval warfare, complete logistics and food supplies, a stable regional overlord, and at least two or three generations of Han Dynasty.
So Rome is not worried at all.
In fact, empires that have relied on India since ancient times have had such a problem. On paper, this country's strength has always been outrageous. It doesn't look weak against any other country. Even if it can't be defeated, it can still defeat it.
Looks like a long time.
But in fact, any large-scale dynasty established with India as the core has the problem of chaotic grassroots organizations and rubbish national organizational power. Kushan may be the dynasty with the most reliable organizational power among these countries. At any rate, Kushan
I didn’t put all my treasure in India.
The northern Kushans had a proper conscription system, a system in which all the people were soldiers, and combined with the natural climate of the Indus-Ganges region, from the perspective of classical empires, the Kushans had a strong political power.
Therefore, the Roman view of Kushan is that although Kushan was beaten violently by the Han Dynasty, it was not a serious injury. With the blood-forming ability of the Kushan Empire, it was a short-term embarrassment.
During this period, Kushan can continue to fight for decades to hundreds of years.
This evaluation is not that Rome looked down upon the Han Dynasty, but that Rome really believed that the Han Dynasty could win. After all, the only imperial-level frictions before this were basically calculated based on hundreds of years, and both sides had been in constant confrontation for generations.
, obtain the final victory.
The war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns lasted for three hundred years in official history. The war between Rome and Parthia lasted for more than 250 years in official history. Even the war between Sassanid Persia and Kushan actually lasted for more than 250 years.
Twenty years later, it only ended because of the conflict between the Beigui and the Nangui due to the rebellion of Vesuthiva I, and the Northern Gui directly surrendered.
In this case, Rome believed that the Han Dynasty could kill Kushan within a hundred years, which was already a very high evaluation. After all, there were too many uncertainties in the war of empires, and ordinary damage caused by the strong foundation of both sides was not considered at all.
what is the problem.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, the loss of tens of millions of domestic population, etc., are all what the empire can endure when it continues to fight another empire.
Therefore, when Rome saw the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushans, it was purely the attitude of the masses. Anyway, there was a fight. If there was a problem with the development of the situation, they would give some blood to the Kushans, so that the Kushans could survive the most difficult period, and then they could watch again.
It lasts for decades, so there is no need to worry.
This is why Rome didn't have too much fear after receiving the five-year financial report of the Han Dynasty sent back to Rome by Annaus. The data is indeed very scary, but it doesn't matter. We can rely on Nai Guishan.
Earn a lot of war dividends.
What's more important is that in addition to war dividends, Rome received a lot of shipbuilding technology and naval warfare tactics from Kushan, as well as many untold secrets of metal smelting.
Therefore, in addition to praising the figures of the Han Dynasty, Rome at most gave Severus an excuse to scold the Senate for not working hard. Look at the nobles of the Han Dynasty, selling their blood to help the people, and then look at you plundering the people's fat every day.
, give me less scratches.
After that, there are more jokes about Pompianus - look at his financial officer, and then look at you, ah, this year is the scarlet letter again, you are really good!
What is left in the end is the so-called spectacle. As long as there are two top empires on the map that can communicate with each other, they will inevitably fall into the so-called cycle of comparison. This is not because humans intend to do this, but because of a more realistic point, which is the so-called
National honors are forced into comparison.
Therefore, the legion commanders on the Don River side have recently received some rumors from within Rome - the Senate wants to build a wonder-level building, and the target has been selected, the Tower of Babel, the legendary Tower of Babel, although it was originally
They wanted to build Hanging Gardens, but due to technical problems, they finally decided to build the Tower of Babel after more than two hundred senators discussed it.
Regarding technology and structure, the boss of the Cornelius family said that their family had obtained the crown of Nebuchadnezzar II. If necessary, they could get this guy who once built the Tower of Babel in Babylon out, and then
You can get the technology and structure.
By then, with the ability of Roman craftsmen, they would be able to successfully build something like that.
The so-called curse of God and the like, the working senators of the Roman Senate smiled at the senators who did not work but only made trouble. Those non-working senators immediately said that if that man really came down during the construction, they would
These people Bao Yuan will show you the technique of dyeing and polishing wall tiles and floor tiles. Please believe that their two hundred veterans have this ability.
As for what color to dye, of course it depends on the color of the blood. At present, blood should be colorful, and red is more rare anyway.
In short, the Roman Senate is still the same as before. When it is doing business, there are not many people, but when it is causing trouble, a large group of people rush out. It feels like there are more and more people in the Senate who are not doing business, Pompianus
Sigh, his budget for next year has been diverted to build the Tower of Babel.
Fortunately, Pompianus is not too resistant to this matter. If you have money, you have to build things like wonders. After all, it is conducive to the self-confidence of the country and the nation. What's more, the Han Dynasty next door built two tower palaces.
Of course, Rome, which is at the same level, will follow suit.
So let’s first think about how to build a 111-meter Babel Tower. By the way, the Roman senator’s proposal was to build a 666-meter Hexagram Reverse Cross Babel Tower.
There is no way, the Romans are really fighting with 666 now. They actually like this number. As for whether the devil is the devil or not, they don't really care.
However, due to technical problems, the Romans gave up this plan. After all, the Romans were not stupid. They also had some idea of how high Nebuchadnezzar II’s Tower of Babel was, so they just borrowed the composition of the Tower of Babel.
Then we borrowed the architectural techniques of the Han Dynasty from the Han Dynasty and built a wonder that was slightly taller than the twin palaces of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Rome set the height at 111 meters. If it were any higher, Rome estimated that they would not be able to build it. Even if they felt that they had certain advantages over mathematics and architecture, they could not build the 99-meter-high tower palace complex next door.
It really hasn't been repaired.
The tallest building ever built in Rome was actually the aqueduct for domestic drinking water. However, this height of more than 80 meters was actually built on the high slope of the mountain. The actual height is only a few dozen meters. Others such as the Pantheon and the Fighting Beast
The stadium, Nimes Amphitheatre, etc. are only a few dozen meters away.
It's just that the advantage of Rome lies in the volcanic cement pouring technology. Many buildings have survived for thousands of years and some of their remains have not collapsed.
As for the largest and most complete one, it is the Arc de Triomphe of Severus. There is nothing to say about this. It is not too high, with a height of more than 20 meters. However, the material used in this Arc de Triomphe is called white marble in China. It is made of one piece.
, so eighteen hundred years have passed, and this thing is still standing in place.
By the way, this Arc de Triomphe is a wonder in the true sense. Because the material is so outrageous, it is estimated that no one in the future will be able to find such a big thing again. This is why the construction of this thing has been completed since its completion.
It's just been repaired now.
To be honest, it would have taken so long for Chen Xi to repair it, because the materials were too scarce. There were so many large pieces of white marble. God knows how much luck Severus spent to find them all. In short, it cost a lot of money, so okay?
Pompianus needs to pay, otherwise Pompianus will be buried waiting for resurrection just by repairing it.
Of course, the so-called Tower of Babel is certainly not built with white marble. If this kind of thing was used to build a large tower of more than 100 meters, even if Chen Xilai was the Roman financial officer, he would have to lie down for a long time. This is no longer a matter of spending money.
Well, the collection of materials alone is enough to kill you.
The result of discussions among the senators in Rome is that they plan to build a building with reinforced concrete. However, Rome is currently short of steel. The steel is used to redress a top legion in order to shock people during the military parade, so Rome is still discussing it.
How to start work.
However, the plan has been finalized and the technology has been obtained. We will start construction as soon as the first payment and materials are received.
