"War may not be far off" Sun Quan's words were not for no reason, nor was his desire for war to break out and he wanted to take the initiative to provoke a war with the Roman Empire in advance.
It's a feeling for him.
Sun Quan asked himself that he had never underestimated the Roman Empire.
Whether Severus was in charge or now Caracalla has taken over the throne, he has always regarded the entire Roman Empire as his greatest rival.
The defeat in the city of Rome a few years ago made his character more calm and sober, and it also made him suddenly understand one thing, the so-called traverser will also die on the mighty battlefield.
So over the years, whether he was in the dynasty or doing things, he began to become more cautious, carefully saving his life, carefully controlling the entire dynasty and letting Dawu develop according to his wishes.
On the battlefield, he also began to become conservative, and his decision-making was a little less courageous, but cautious.
But no matter what, he still believes in his sense of the battlefield.
From the time he heard that Chaks had taken the province of Gaul, he had a premonition that war was not far off for them.
This strong feeling of his came from the person of Chucks.
Chaks, the generalissimo of the Roman Empire, was not a person who sat idly by, he knew very well that there would be a war between the Wu army and the Roman army after all, so it was not very possible for him to take the initiative to attack, but a hundred percent possibility.
Once the Romans took the initiative, the pace of the war was likely to be controlled by the Roman Empire.
This is something that Sun Quan absolutely does not allow.
But now he is actually a little helpless about this matter.
After the Wu army experienced the crushing defeat of the Roman city, it has been recuperating, and now it has not completely relieved its breath, the combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is impossible to take the initiative to go to war, if the Roman army takes the initiative to start a war, they can only defend the battle.
However, with the strength and combat effectiveness of the Wu army, even if it has not fully recovered now, once the war starts, it may not lose to the Roman army on the battlefield.
Sun Quan is still confident in this.
Even if all legions are now like wounded wolves licking their wounds, this does not deny that the officers and men of the Wu army have the fierce combat power and fighting spirit of wild wolves, and they are not rotten soldiers and horses without fighting.
Once the two hegemons really can't control the current peaceful situation and start a full-scale war, the Wu army is actually not afraid of the Roman army.
It's just that in this way, it will inevitably affect the development strategy of the entire Dawu.
The outbreak of war is equivalent to destruction.
Regardless of the success or failure of the battle in the end, when the generals of war are on a piece of land, this will eventually destroy everything that has been painstakingly managed.
So Sun Quan didn't want this war to come too early at this moment.
He doesn't have the energy to juggle the West.
"Wenyou, you have to find a way to drag them down" After Sun Quan paced back and forth for half a day, his eyes squinted at Li Ru, and his voice was deep: "The imperial court is not ready for war now, and I don't want a rash war to disrupt my rhythm."
"Your Majesty, it's actually not difficult to do this."
Li Ru said: "The contradiction between Chaks and Caracalla is difficult to reconcile, and if their contradictions erupt in advance, the Roman Empire will inevitably fall into a power struggle."
"Good idea, but be careful with your movements, neither Chucks nor Caracalla are stupid" Sun Quan looked at Li Ru and instructed: "The people of the Jinyi Guard can still gain a foothold in the city of Rome, it is nothing more than because of the struggle between them that you have a chance, if they find out that you are playing ghosts, they will definitely work together to deal with you, this is very dangerous for the Jinyi Guard, I don't want the shadows that the Jinyi Wei worked so hard to bury in the city of Rome will be completely destroyed."
"The minister naturally understands the importance of this matter, so the minister will definitely be cautious."
Li Ru nodded.
Although the sudden actions of the Roman Empire attracted Sun Quan's attention and made the army deployed by the Wu army on the frontier begin to be on guard, it did not affect the development process of the entire Great Wu court.
On the land of the Central Plains, it is changing with each passing day.
With the emergence of new products, the collision of new technology and old ideas is everywhere, and the convenience of life brought by new products can be seen, but the impact on the limitations of this era is also obvious to all.
The current Great Wu court, from Sun Quan to a small county official, is trying its best to adjust this collision of old and new ideas.
"Your Majesty, the minister is opposed, in the past two years, we have invested too much court resources in building roads, and the minister thinks that this is a bit of a reversal of the cart before the horse."
"I agree with the proposal of the Ministry of Industry, if you want to make a fortune, you must first build roads, if the court does not build roads, how to make the people rich" "Today's imperial court can't afford to invest so much money in these projects, and forcibly starting these projects will definitely bring down the entire imperial court."
"My Great Wu Imperial Court has such a profound background, how can it be dragged down because of trivial things, alarmist" "We can understand that the Ministry of Industry wants to develop and build localities, but the eyes of the imperial court must be fixed on the whole world, how can we let other developments be sluggish for the sake of one Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that the military alone will not let us go."
"Local construction is closely related to people's livelihood and economy, as long as local construction goes up, Dawu's national strength can rise to a higher level" “” After a cabinet meeting that was full of controversy, Sun Quan walked out of the hall while pinching his somewhat groggy head with his hands.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the situation in the cabinet is a little inappropriate."
Sima Lang held a scroll of papers, followed Sun Quan's footsteps, and said in a low voice.
"I think it's normal" Sun Quan smiled indifferently: "It's a matter of time before Xun Yu controls the overall situation, Uncle Zhu's means and city government are a little inferior to him, if it weren't for the qualifications there, it would be impossible to pressure him to become the first assistant of the cabinet, and now if he wants to suppress Xun Yu in the cabinet, he can't do it at all."
At a meeting just now, it seemed that they were arguing over the cement road project newly submitted by the Ministry of Industry, but what was really fighting was the control between Zhu Zhi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xun Yu, the second assistant of the cabinet.
It is obvious that Xun Yu's skills are superior.
He gathered the support of many cabinet ministers by supporting the Ministry of Industry, stabilized his influence in the cabinet, and put Zhu Zhi's position as the first assistant to the cabinet in jeopardy.
"Your Majesty, do we need to stop them?"

"Why stop it" Sun Quan stopped, turned his head, and glanced at him meaningfully.
"If the cabinet fights, it will affect the development policy of the entire imperial court."
"The big waves sweep the sand, and what can withstand the wind and waves is gold" Sun Quan said calmly.
"Chen understands" Sima Lang's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly flickered with some surprise.
Three years of Longce, October.
Autumn has begun to pass gradually, the early winter season is beginning to come, Chang'an City's winter came earlier this year, the first snow is falling, and the white snowflakes have covered this majestic capital.
At this moment, a message appeared on Sun Quan's desk in an urgent manner.
"Britain is lost, when is this" Sun Quan's green and transparent eyes looked at this report deadly, and his handsome face was as gloomy as water.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is what happened fifteen days ago," the commander of the Jinyi Guards replied respectfully.
Two months earlier, the Battle of Britain had begun.
The Roman general William led three legions, plus the Italian legions to the north, with four major legions, forced the strait, drove straight into Britain, and fought with the Flame Legion on the British battlefield.
Although the Flame Legion was brave and good at fighting, but in the face of the crushing of the four major legions, it basically did not even have the strength to fight back, and fought and retreated, and finally relied on Hadrian's Wall built by the Romans in the past to slightly block the attack of the Roman army.
The war lasted for more than a month, half a month ago, the Roman army finally broke through Hadrian's Wall, the entire Flame Legion suffered countless casualties, less than one-tenth of the soldiers who could escape, and even the newly appointed commander Zang Ba was pierced by a spear in the lower abdomen, if it weren't for more than a dozen units fighting with their lives to buy him time to escape, he would be a dead corpse now.
"What about He Gongmiao's army?"
Sun Quan carefully looked at the battle process that had been sorted out on this scroll, and his brows furrowed: "I have already asked people to remind him, why is he indifferent?"
The Third Theater was responsible for attacking the Roman Empire from the Atlantic, and Heqi's army was not an ordinary army, gathering the Flame Legion, the Jiangdong Legion and the Sea Shark Legion, and the soldiers and horses of the three legions should be enough to deal with the attack of the Roman army.
But he still lost Britain, which made Sun Quan a little annoyed.
How difficult it was for the lake to capture Britain, and now that he had lost Britain in a war, he was a little unwilling in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Commander He didn't mean to delay the fighter, he was entangled," Pang Tong said with a bow.
"Entangled" Sun Quan asked: "Who can entangle him He Gongmiao." ” "The natives of the Indian state" Pang Tong continued to reply, saying: "They are called Indians by the locals locally, and they have already submitted to our Great Wu, but not long ago, they suddenly gathered troops and led their troops to attack the houses and towns we built in the Indian State, causing us to immigrate to the tens of thousands of families who suffered heavy damage, and Commander He Qi was furious and led his troops to exterminate these natives."
"Indian" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, and his fists clenched slightly: "It's really time for them to turn back."
The natives of the American continent, he had some impressions.
The Wu army went east, crossed the Pacific Ocean, landed on the American continent, and conquered many small tribes and races, among which the most active resistance was the Indians, but the Indians were good at fighting in the jungle The way they crossed the old ancestor of mountain warfare in Heqi, and finally surrendered to the banner of the Wu people.
It's just that I didn't expect the Indians to turn around in the end.
"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that this matter has something to do with the Roman Empire," Mo Cong said.
Li Ru is haunted, except for Sun Quan, basically no one can control his whereabouts, and sometimes even Sun Quan can't know his whereabouts, so most of the Jinyi Wei affairs in the capital are presided over by Mo Cong.
"Tell me about it" "Your Majesty, the Indians are not very well-behaved, but in order to make them completely surrender, General Heqi also made a big killer, which caused the population of the Indians to drop sharply, and at the same time made many Indians have a lot of awe of Commander Heqi."
Mo Congdao: "The Indians have a jealousy of Commander Heqi, and with Commander Heqi's time, they don't dare to do anything, and they won't attack our new town for no reason, because they don't have the courage to do so, unless" "Unless anything" "Unless someone backs them up."
"There is a reason for this" Sun Quan nodded: "It seems that this Roman reckless man is really not an ordinary straw hat reckless, they are far-sighted, this is probably the result they have thought about a long time ago, but they let them play us for a while" Is this Chucks' calculation, or the calculations of those around him Sun Quan's thoughts passed, and he quickly came back to his senses, sat next to him, and didn't pay attention to this, it didn't matter, what mattered, how to take back the British Province.
"Where is He Qi's army?"
Sun Quan asked after pondering for a while.
"At present, the army he led has just begun to approach Britain, but it is beyond the reach of the whip, and the casualties of the Flame Legion are at least more than half, if it weren't for Zang Ba's quick decision and assisted a lot of casualties, I'm afraid that the Flame Legion would be wiped out."
"Command him at once, and immediately lead his troops eastward, and retake the province of Britain" "Obedience" Pang commanded.
"In addition, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Division will be convened to convene a meeting of military aircraft."
"Yes" Pang Tong left the study with some heavy steps.
Sun Quan walked out from behind the bookcase and walked into the side of the Jiaofang Palace, in the attic of a military intelligence study, several staff officers were discussing the war situation, his eyes swept over, and he saw a map, so her eyes began to look at this map carefully.
"Chucks, it seems that I still underestimate you" He looked at the map above, which was a map of Britain and the surrounding seas, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and became a little self-conscious.
What kind of calculation Chucks is playing, Sun Quan has already guessed one or two in his heart.
He did not intend to engage the Great Wu army head-on at all, he just wanted to use the British campaign to stabilize the internal contradictions of the Roman Empire.
This is a risky strategy.
Once the Wu army reacted a little faster, the two major armies entered the British province first, forming a main counterattack, which would inevitably collapse the entire Roman army.
But the whole strategy still allowed Chaxx to succeed.
Because of the defeat in the Battle of Britain, the rhythm of the war was officially in the hands of the Roman Empire.
"You want to fight, why should I be afraid" Sun Quan gritted his teeth, his eyes burst into a sharp light, and he said to himself: "I will accompany you to fight on the land of Britain, what you say may not let you end what you say." t1706231537:
