After the college entrance examination, bring a system to serve as a soldier

Chapter 215

Xianyang City, Pawn Bureau.

"What are we going to do now?"

"The Great Qin Crown Prince has rejected all of our offers, claiming that there is nothing to talk about unless we first agree to the conditions we put forward earlier. "

"Now we even need to pay for food and clothing for living here, and Daqin's attitude couldn't be more obvious. "

Perseus, the prince of Macedonia, looked at Ptolemy V and the Carthaginian financial officer Sula Dao with a sad face.

"Why don't we go and make contact with the Romans?"

"It is said that the Roman envoys are also about to arrive in Xianyang City. "

"If we can join forces with the Romans, we may not be able to keep the Great Qin people out of the Mediterranean. "

"After all, they are too far away from what they call Persia!"

"And it is impossible for their fleet to reach the Mediterranean region directly. "

Ptolemy V hesitated.

Perseus and Sulla looked at each other with a look of horror in their eyes.

Ptolemy V's idea is very dangerous.

If it was just his own intention, it would only mean that there was no hope for the future of Ptolemaic Egypt.

If Ptolemy IV thought the same, then Ptolemaic Egypt really had to be guarded against.

Otherwise, at a critical time, Ptolemaic Egypt would stab them in the back, whether it was Macedonia or Carthage, they would never be able to bear it.

The two of them hurriedly dealt with Ptolemy V casually, and then found a place to negotiate again.

"No wonder the Great Qin Prince looks down on us, now, even I am about to lose hope. "

"I think Ptolemy I was also a master at the beginning, but now it has only been a hundred years, and he has actually fallen to this. "

Perseus sighed.

Sula also smiled bitterly in her heart.

Ptolemy V's words of betrayal are hateful, but isn't it really a problem that you are also a Macedonian prince, a future heir, and you are so pessimistic at every turn?

Thinking of the Seleucid Kingdom that had completely sold itself to the Great Qin people, Sulla couldn't help but feel a little desperate in her heart.

What kind of pig teammates are these allies of the Carthaginian Kingdom?

One is more pitted than the other.

No wonder the Romans had much less troops on the Macedonian-Seleucid line than on the Carthaginian front, but they always had an advantage, not because the Romans were too strong, but because their pig teammates were too pitiful!

It's no wonder that the Great Qin people don't look down on them at all.

The Romans, who could be beaten by the Great Qin, groveled, and it was natural for them to despise Macedonia and other countries that were pressed and beaten by the Romans.

According to Sulla's estimate, as long as the Great Qin people continue to exert pressure, there is a high probability that the Perseus in front of him will really give in.

At present, although Macedonia has declined, after all, it is the orthodoxy of Alexander's great empire in the past, once it takes refuge in the Great Qin people like the Seleucid Kingdom, and the pace of the Great Qin people going deep into the Mediterranean, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to stop it!

The Carthaginians, who started from maritime trade, were not as stupid as Ptolemy V, thinking that geography alone could restrict Great Qin's access to the Mediterranean.

True, between the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea, there is a land area hundreds of miles away, which the fleet cannot reach for the time being.

But wouldn't the Great Qin people build a shipyard to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and start building a fleet again?

With the terrifying shipbuilding capabilities of Great Qin that he had seen along the way, I was afraid that in a few years, an unimaginably powerful fleet would appear on the Mediterranean.

At that time, not only the Romans, but also the Carthaginians will have to look up to Daqin.

The only thing that can be counted on now is Daqin proper, which is still too far away from the enclave of Persian County.

It is far away that the Great Qin people are likely to solve the countries on the way first, rather than directly fighting the idea of the Mediterranean countries.

After all, the Great Qin people themselves have advocated in books that long-distance and close attack is the best strategy.

"I can't make the decision on this matter, I must report it to the Supreme Consul Sofitet, and the Senate will vote on it!"

Sula pondered for a long time and found an excuse.

"That's all there is to it!"

"I'm going to send a reply to my father for instructions. "

Perseus still said with a sad face.

Sura's heart grew colder.

You said that you are also the future king of a country, can't you have some confidence?

Sulla hesitated for a long time, but still wrote down his judgment of the Macedonian kingdom and Ptolemaic Egypt in his reply.

I secretly prayed in my heart that the nobles of the Carthaginian Senate, who were so blind that even Hannibal could betray them, would make a wise choice this time.

......

In Songhai City, the Roman envoy Aemilius, who had just come down from the ship, also had an anxious look on his face.

As one of the six oldest families in the entire city of Rome, the Aemilius family had a high influence throughout Rome.

Scipio, the current Roman consul, was a branch of the Aemilius family.

However, due to the reason for this fiasco, Scipio, the chief consul, was questioned a lot, and the other five families joined forces to force the palace, trying to oust Scipio from power, re-elect the chief consul, and regain power.

Therefore, Aemilius came with Scipio's strict order this time, and it was imperative to reconcile with Great Qin in the shortest possible time, so that Rome could withdraw from the Seleucid direction in time, concentrate on dealing with Hannibal, and re-establish the prestige of the Aemilius family.

It's just that along the way, Aemilius obviously felt the unkindness of the Great Qin people.

When he was in Persian County, he met Perseus and others, and together they embarked on a sea ship to the mainland of Daqin.

It's just that on this vast sea route, the ship where Perseus and others are located has always been full sail and full speed, while the ship where Amilius is located has always been unhurried.

According to the news that Amilius had just inquired about, Perseus and the others had arrived at the Great Qin Imperial Capital a few days ago, and they were seven or eight days ahead of him.

These seven or eight days are only enough for Da Qin to reach an agreement with Perseus and the others.

The Romans, as opponents, had enough understanding of the unbearable state of the Macedonian Kingdom and Ptolemaic Egypt.

Even at the time of the war, the royal families of these two countries and the city of Rome were never severed.

This is true for Rome, and for the even more terrifying Great Qin, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a few more Seleucid kingdoms.

Now the only thing that Aemilius can count on is the Carthaginians, who can continue to be as tough on Great Qin as they did against Rome.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really live up to Scipio's expectations.
