The tense military atmosphere and turbulent war situation in Eastern Europe and Southern Europe seem to have come to an end.
But Cheng Yaojin did not relax. A real soldier always has a sneer on his face and eyes like poisonous snakes.
The reason is very simple... Although I don’t know why the other party accepted Datang’s request, since ancient times, people have sacrificed for money, and Rome must have its own considerations.
Although the other party's acceptance this time always feels a bit confusing, but... Rome is a big country after all, and it will always think about it.
And as time goes by... they will always realize who is benefiting from the establishment of the port and the rise of maritime trade.
Then... the debate will start sooner or later, and Cheng Yaojin also knows that his mission will not end so simply!
"Boys...continue training!"
…
The terrifying atmosphere in the Balkans not only triggered the passive skills of the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty and the legions of the Romans, causing both sides to stand ready, but of course it also frightened a large number of small fish and shrimps from all walks of life...
For example, Persia...
Persia didn't know much about Rome's situation, except that it was definitely a powerful beast - and recently, Asmin learned the latest news about the reason why Rome suddenly sent troops to the Balkans...
It's because, in Rome, there were heroes who rectified the entire political ecology of Rome. The current Rome...
Not only is it strong, but it is stronger than the Rome that I remember that could contain Arabia!
And the Tang Empire is even more...even there is nothing to say at all.
Tang Empire, these three words are the three most valuable words in the world today.
The reason... is also very simple. Today's Tang Dynasty is earning countless wealth at a terrifying speed. Whether it is the official merchant ships and warships sent by the imperial court, or private merchants, they are old and new and of different shapes, but they are
Merchant ships, all busy with business, gathered in the distant city called Hangzhou, harvesting huge profits that I could hardly imagine.
Taking into account the strong commercial artery of Lingzhou - Anxi Protector - Anxi Qianchu Base, which was laid by railroad tracks, the entire people of the Tang Dynasty were rapidly becoming richer and richer at an extremely high speed.
Asmin was naturally jealous of such a grand occasion. If I, the Great Persia, could do the same, wouldn't it be possible in a few years...
Of course, such a vision can only be imagined for the time being, but Asmin also has reasons to look forward to it.
The reason is that the current world situation is extremely favorable to Persia. The reason... of course, lies in the location.
Persia is in a key position, in the center of the world island!
Of course, there are disadvantages to being in the middle of the world island. For example, the Balkans region - this place can basically be described as: not a place for humans. Anyone who can live a complete life in this place is a great god. It is referred to as the Balkans.
Great God, apart from individuals, can any collective... survive in this place for a long time?
The answer of history is... There are sisters, there are true sisters. When the war in a place lasts so long that even the overall national character and even the collective subconscious are distorted, then it is really over, because it is no longer possible to produce people who are able and willing to defeat fate.
people come out.
But the location of Persia is also in the center of the World Island...
but!
Although it's in the middle, it's not quite in the middle.
The location of Persia, to be precise, is in the south of the World Island - it's just that the area in the Shenzhou part of the World Island is too large and extends too far to the south, so it doesn't appear to be very south, but it is actually the south.
At this time, Asmin could only express her admiration for the ancestors of China - after gradually understanding the geographical location of all the countries in the world, she realized that China is really a good place.
On the one hand, it is on a world island and has the qualifications to truly unify mankind. But at the same time, it is not like places like Eastern Europe and the Balkans, where there are too many broken soldiers and bandits running around, which directly prevents human development.
China is different. It not only occupies a large territory on the world island, but it is also located in a temperate zone with a suitable climate, which is very suitable for development. It is completely appropriate to say that it is blessed by nature.
But the location in Persia is not bad either.
Although the Mesopotamia River Basin is not as vast as the Mesopotamia Mesopotamia River Basin in China, it has abundant water resources and is actually very well developed.
And by coincidence, this place can avoid the Balkans where the giants of the World Island may collide, but at the same time, it is very convenient to participate!
Of course, Persia is still a little kitten at the moment and does not have the ability to get involved in the meat fight between lions and tigers.
However, Persia has another advantage in being located in the middle, that is, it is not far from Europe and China.
This also means...
If Persia engages in industry and trade, no matter where it goes, it will not be too far!
And...the vast sea is vast and I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is.
The wind is high and the waves are rough, and the journey is not easy. This is sailing...that's how it is when playing real.
And since the Tang Empire and Rome wanted to trade from now on, then...
In the future, whether merchants from the Tang Empire or merchants from the Roman Empire wanted to interact with each other, they would have to travel long distances by sea and land.
Let’s not mention the land journey for now.
But the sea route is such a long distance, right... Those merchant ships have to find a place to stop and rest midway, to maintain the condition of the ship, replenish supplies and so on?
hey-hey……
So where will this place be?
That's right, it's...Persia!
Of course, Asmin also knows that the Roman Empire has a province called "Africa", which is located in the southernmost part of Rome, and...
Although Rome was the empire of Europe, the province of Africa was not located on the mainland of Europe, but on a large island south of Europe.
This big island is too mysterious for Asmin, because according to the intelligence collected by my father so far... No, my father doesn't have much information about Rome, let alone a province of Rome.
There is no understanding of this aspect.
According to the information I obtained in the Tang Empire, the province of "Africa" is not simple.
Because the college already had teachers who specialized in geography told me that the province of "Africa" was not just an area as far away as a "road" equivalent to a state or county in the Tang Empire.
But it is very likely that it is an entire continent...
If the merchant ships of the Tang Empire wanted to go through Rome, or conversely, if the merchant ships from Rome wanted to go through the Tang Empire, in addition to taking the Persian route, it would also be feasible to go around the continent of Africa.
But Asmin was not that worried, because according to what the division commanders said, the merchant ship might have to travel nearly twice as long, and Persia would be much more convenient...
