If at the beginning, it was just that Julian was afraid of the strength of the Han Empire because he conceived of a strong country to rule a weak country, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was simply excellent.
"It's a perfect solution," says Flavies, with great certainty, "and there's nothing more suitable than this one at the moment." ” Julian stared at the night sky, it was cloudless tonight, and there was a tooth moon in the sky.
In its long history, Rome has organized multinational alliances more than once, usually against an enemy country, and the old nature of the alliance is Rome, and then Rome leads a group of member countries to fight against that enemy country.
In the values of the Romans, Rome does not have to have enemies, but it must have allies, which is probably a similar concept of Zhuxia "those who have attained the Tao will help more", the difference is that Rome's allies must be vassals, but it is not who Rome is committed to, or there is an equal status.
The two of them were sitting on the open-air balcony of an attic, because they basically didn't have the opportunity to eat anything because they participated in the banquet, if they didn't eat something after they came back, they couldn't sleep on an empty stomach, so they came to the balcony with the food prepared by the post house, and happened to get together.
"I haven't been able to understand a little bit."
Flavies took a sip of the chewy noodles, and said vaguely as he chewed, "Why is it that only now that the Han are interested in contacting the outside world?"
The Romans, who knew how to keep pace with the times, knew that they had to understand the Han people, and they learned about them from various channels, including the Han history books that could be obtained through research.
"yes, why is it at this time?"
Julian saw that Flavis was eating so deliciously, and that he was originally hungry and had no appetite, so he couldn't help but take a sip of the noodles, and after the food was imported, he felt the spicy flavor of the soup and the chewiness of the noodles: "How can a nation, devoted to the growth of military power, have more energy to study the hedonistic aspect."
The Han Empire was born and entered the field of vision of the Romans with an extremely powerful attitude, and the attitude of the Romans towards the Han Empire changed again and again.
At first, the Romans only took the initiative to contact the Han Empire for the purpose of not allowing the Han Empire and the Persian Sassanid to come together, and to play the role of a-stirring stick.
The first Romans who came into contact with the Han Empire conveyed a lot of information to the mainland, the core of which was that the Han Empire was definitely not easy to mess with, and if the Han and Persians were really allies, even if the Han people did not personally participate in the war against Rome, Rome would be in big trouble.
"Yes, how can it be both force and pleasure."
Flavies was puzzled by how delicious ordinary noodles could be: "Is it just as the Persians say, that the Han are a people who are favored by some great being?"
Julian was lost in thought, only his mouth unconsciously chewing on his food.
It was always with understanding that new changes would occur, and after the Roman envoys arrived at the Pingban Commandery, Rome's attitude towards the Han Empire changed again.
The Romans were really troubled by the fact that the Han Chinese were able to establish military bases across the sea, and that they were still capable of stationing more than 100,000 troops overseas.
They clearly know that the Han people can station hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses overseas, which also means that they can send troops into the territory of Persian Sasanian, and the alliance between the Han and the Persians will not be as simple as material exchanges.
Ever since they knew about the development of the Han Empire's seafaring and the Han army did not reject cross-sea expeditions, the Romans no longer regarded the Han Empire as a distant country, and recognized the Han Empire as a potential enemy country that could actually threaten the security of Rome itself.
What really made the Romans fear the Han Empire was that the fleet of the Han Empire could reach Constantinople directly from the sea, and the Han Empire envoys broke out in foreign capitals without any intimidation, all of which showed and proved the Han people's confidence in their own national strength, and it was only clear that war with Rome was not a big deal.
At this stage, Julian did not know what the other Romans thought.
What he knew was that the top brass of Rome, including Augustus and Caesar, had understood that they were weaker than the Han Empire, and they were really afraid of war with the Han Empire.
Under the premise that they must not be enemies, or at least cannot stand lightly when they are forced to do so, the Romans have an extraordinary shame for confession.
Historically, the Romans have confessed more than once, then buried themselves in development, and finally buried the object of their confession in the ground.
This time, after a lapse of I don't know how many years, the Romans finally ushered in another confession, up to Constantius, down to any Roman citizen who knew about it, had already held the determination to learn from their ancestors, and read the "hard-working people, the sky does not bear, lie down and taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."
"This sentence of Chinese, everyone has to incarnate Goujian.
If it follows the normal development, Rome, which is full of anger and strength, will inevitably usher in a new outbreak period, and may even be unable to fight among itself because of this humiliation, and unite to work for the same goal, no matter what the final outcome of the war with the Han Empire will be, the possibility of avoiding its own "historical trajectory" is infinite.
In a few decades, Rome would split into Eastern Rome and Western Rome For the uninformed Romans, ignorance would have been a blessing.
For the Romans, who had already seen the power of gunpowder, it was easier to fall into despair by knowing too much.
Julian was in a period of doubt about his life, and more than once he faced the rough sea, and thought it would be good to jump down and follow the waves.
At that time, Julian had reason to believe that Xeias would have more troubles than himself.
He is a Caesar reserve, and he has lost the desire to survive in the face of the tragic future of Rome, so Ksiaias, the third heir to the Persian Sassanid, should be more desperate than himself, after all, the Persian Sassanid is not really far from the Han Empire.
Two people who were also in despair, they were also very well disguised, and the change of their mentality was due to a joking conversation, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was reliable, and after countless secret conversations.
"I believe that the Persians are far more frightened than we are."
Julian didn't gloat, he just felt sad: "Did you know that once I accidentally overheard Xeias talking to Yena, and he asked Ye Na to be loved by Han Tianzi no matter what, thinking that it was not the army that could keep Sasanid safe, but the body of Ye Na or Nikal. ” Flavies was tempted to say that Xeias was wise and that no one wanted to be an enemy of a country that wielded the weapons of the gods: "I have to say, maybe you need to have a deeper conversation with Helena and Helena."
"If the will of the Son of Han is beautiful and delicate, it can influence," Julian mocked with obvious mockery, "I am willing to let all the Roman women try it." ” Flavies said "hehe" twice.
He felt that Julian's hypocrisy should be changed, and there should be no hypocrisy if he wants to do big things, and he should even be mentally prepared to lie on the ground and let him be trampled, otherwise he shouldn't want to do anything big.
"I can see that the foreign minister of the Han Empire is very interested."
Julian could see that Flavis's face was full of disapproval, and he didn't want to continue on that topic, so he changed the subject: "Now we should work in the direction of arousing the interest of more Han Empire ministers" Flavies was not interested in thinking much about it, and he felt that it would be better to study the layout of the inn and learn from it when he returned.
Of course, the post house where the envoys of various countries stayed was located in the city, and the specifications were not low, that is, the people responsible for providing services were not Han Chinese, but Japanese people from the Japanese islands.
There were many of the same inns in the city, and the Roman legations accounted for twenty-three, or some inconsequential people were arranged to be set aside in the temporary camps, or all the Romans would have to use one or two hundred inns.
The Romans who could be arranged into the post house by the Honglu Pavilion either had the status of nobility or reported as a candidate for beauty.
The Persians occupied two fewer inns than the Romans, that is, there were fewer nobles from Persia than from Rome, but there were many more candidates for beauty in Persia than in Rome.
The envoys of the rest of the countries were really not enough post houses, and they were arranged to live in the same post house from many countries.

"Now all we need to do is be friendly, even surrendering."
There was no shame at all when Flavies said this, the Valentinianus family never sought face, but pursued practical gain: "Weakness is sometimes a weapon, even sharper than any weapon, and now we need this." ” The rise of the Valentinianus family is not long, but why they can climb to the top of Rome's social circle in such a short period of time is that the Valentinianus family has always cared about their face, and they also know how much dignity should be abandoned when they come into contact with what kind of people, and mastering that degree is the key to the rise of the Valentinianus family.
"If we can make the Han Empire feel humiliated even if we go to war, it will undoubtedly be the greatest success."
Flavies could see that Julian had obvious repulsion, and said with a smile: "Julian, you should think carefully about the Germans. ” Julien, of course, knew the Germanic peoples, and even knew why the Germanic people had been able to exist until now, and even that the Germanic people were not only not weakening, but getting stronger.
"In the face of the mighty Han Empire, we need to define ourselves as Germanic."
Flavies did not have any shame in his self-consciousness: "We feel that the Germans are just a bunch of ants that can be killed at any time, and have always been reluctant to admit that they are enemies, but only a bunch of playthings for our amusement, and the Germans have not been exterminated." ” Julian sighed heavily: "We will be nailed to the pillar of shame of Roman history." ” "No" Flavies said firmly: "We will be the greatest heroes in the history of Rome":
