In the city of Rome, in the residence of the supreme consul, Scipio was also sighing.

Judging from the intelligence sent back from the front line, Hannibal, who was as fierce as a wolf and as cunning as a fox, was not fooled. Not only did he not take advantage of the situation to pursue him, nor did he relax, but he instead increased his vigilance. This made Scipio’s next step The strategy is no longer optimal

“Uncle, what should we do now? Should we launch an attack in advance before the Carthaginians have guessed our army’s attack route?”

Scipio’s nephew, little Scipio hesitated and said

“No, there is a saying among the people of the Qin Dynasty, which is that before troops and horses move, food and fodder must go first. In other words, military operations must be carried out only after sufficient preparations are made.”

“In order to keep confidentiality, many of our army’s preparations were carried out secretly, which greatly affected efficiency. Currently, less than 50% of the preparations are in place.”

“Now that the attack has been launched in a hurry, let alone whether it can succeed when Hannibal is already on guard.”

“10 Even if it succeeded by luck, the offensive would not be able to continue if the food and supplies could not keep up. If it could not drive straight into the basic territory of Carthage, it would be impossible to completely shake Hannibal’s prestige in Carthage and force the Carthaginians to surrender. This counterattack , it is better not to fight.”

Scipio shook his head and said

“But uncle, please forgive me, even if all the materials are in place, it will be very difficult to achieve such a complete victory.”

“That Hannibal is quite capable of making my great Roman legion defeat many times.”

“If it hadn’t caught his attention before, there’s still a pretty high possibility that it was calculated intentionally and unintentionally.”

“But now that Hannibal is somewhere, if time goes on, there is no guarantee that he will not guess the purpose of my Roman legion. If we set up defenses in advance, it will be even harder to get hold of us.”

Little Scipio said bravely.

“What you said is indeed a possibility”

“But we can’t help it. We have too little time left.”

“During this period, you must have heard about the movements that the people of Daqin carried out through railway exploration.”

“It’s okay to be near Rome. After all, their uncle is there, and they still have to worry about three points.”

“In other cities in Rome, they openly conducted extensive local surveys, and the nobles not only did not stop them, but cooperated and sold me the detailed geographical information of Rome for a little money.”

“This level of detail is completely beyond the need to build a railway, but to prepare for future wars.”

“The tiger and wolf mentality of the people of Great Qin is so obvious!”

“The uncle could only try his best to end the war with Carthage as soon as possible, and use Carthage’s many years of foundation to speed up the recovery of Rome, so as to cope with the more difficult wars in the future.”

Scipio smiled bitterly.

“Since my uncle knew the ambitions of the Qin people, why didn’t he drive them out instead of allowing them to build the railway?”

Little Scipio said doubtfully.

“There are many reasons, but to sum up, there are only a few reasons.”

“First, Da Qin is too strong. Even if we know that there will be a war in the future, we can’t afford to provoke them at the moment. We can only paralyze them first.”

“Otherwise, if the Qin people become angry and turn their full support to the Carthaginians, it will be very difficult for us in Rome.”

“Second, although the people of Daqin are very greedy, their technology is really incomparable. No one else except Daqin can produce such a magical railway.”

“This time, outside the city of Rome, the reason why the Qin people were able to act so recklessly was because the transportation was inconvenient, which led to the city’s lack of control over the peripheral areas.”

“The emergence of railways allowed the city of Rome to reach various cities and counties in one day. Wherever it passed, would anyone dare to disobey orders?”

“Reorganizing the internal affairs in advance and strengthening local control are the prerequisites for Rome and Daqin to prepare for war.”

“To be honest, my uncle admires the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty for being able to withstand huge pressure and create a centralized system of prefectures and counties. It is really not something that ordinary emperors can do.”

“Such a system can be used as a unified force both internally and externally. When countries are at full war, it will completely crush countries with an alliance system that are not united internally!”

“Typical examples include the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleucids in the past. Their population and territory were not much smaller than that of the Qin Dynasty, but now they were easily conquered by the Qin Dynasty.”

Scipio sighed. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“In other words, at present, we can only watch the Qin people do whatever they want on our Roman land?”

“Moreover, my nephew has a doubt. The railway was invented by the people of Daqin. It is impossible for the people of Daqin not to know its function. Will they sincerely build it for me, the Romans?”

Little Scipio said doubtfully.

“It should be possible”

“Because the people of Daqin are quite reputable in business, it is impossible for them to ruin their reputation on such a big project that attracts the attention of the whole world.”

“My uncle will also send people to keep an eye on the project, and the rest can be ignored. If there are any omissions in the specific construction, then he will not be polite to the people of Daqin.”

“Moreover, the purpose of the people of Da Qin is to conquer the entire world, including me, Rome.”

“If they want to control such a big trump card, the people of Daqin will build railways all over the world. It’s better to let Rome pay for the construction now than to spend their own money in the future, right?”

“What you see is the effect of this railway 917 on my Rome”

“But for the people of Daqin, do they care about this?”[]

Scipio smiled bitterly.

Little Scipio was speechless.

Then he sighed heavily.

The strength of Da Qin is so powerful that it makes people feel intimidated and they don’t even know how to resist.

After being silent for a long time, little Scipio suddenly said:”Uncle, my nephew wants to go to Great Qin in person to see what this legendary country is like.”

“Yes, but if you go this time, you can bring your sister with you. She also yearns for Da Qin very much.”

Scipio thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

Little Scipio couldn’t help but was stunned again.

He went to Daqin to conduct an inspection in order to learn more about his opponent’s intelligence and prepare for future wars.

But What effect can that innocent little sister have if she follows her?

It would be nice if she doesn’t cause any trouble.

Especially that girl admires His Highness the State so much that she is astonished.

After traveling thousands of miles away, I’m afraid that something like that will come to my door..

Immediately, a strange thought flashed through little Scipio’s mind?

Could this be Uncle Scipio’s true intention?.
