Taken together, Scipio would have tripled the number of soldiers in the Roman army that Scipio was now able to control. "

"Although it is said that the individual combat effectiveness of the Roman soldiers is not strong enough, with the absolute numerical superiority, the minister thinks that it should not be a problem to defeat Hannibal's Carthaginian army, which can explain the reason why Scipio did not ask for help from my Great Qin.

Nesten opened his mouth to make his guess.

"You are very wrong to think so, the ignorance and shallowness of the Roman aristocracy are far more exaggerated than you think. "

After the defense line was broken, the situation in Rome was indeed very critical, and a large part of Rome's territory was directly exposed to the Carthaginian army, but unless Hannibal's Carthaginian army had reached the Roman capital, those Roman nobles would never have attacked. "

"Because for them, that large Roman territory that was facing the threat of invasion, although it was said that there were Roman inhabitants, but the land was barren, and all kinds of mineral resources were extremely scarce, and there was no value for them to sell, in other words, in the eyes of the Roman nobles, this land was gone. "

In addition, the Roman aristocracy had long been very dissatisfied with Scipio.170 especially since Scipio abolished the tax exemption of all nobles, which caused great damage to the interests of all nobles, which made all nobles almost hate Scipio. "

"If it weren't for the fact that Scipio had become my Great Qin's in-laws, those Roman nobles would not have dared to make a move because of the strength of our Great Qin. "

"Otherwise, with their usual means, Scipio would have been removed from the position of supreme consul long ago, and even Scipio's life would have been difficult to preserve. "

"Now that the group of Roman nobles saw that the Roman regular army belonging to Scipio had suffered a huge blow, and it was very good that those Roman nobles did not fall into the ground, they wished that Scipio's regular army could be wiped out by the Carthaginian army, how could they send their own private army to help Scipio?"

Meng Yi shook his head and retorted.

Unlike ministers like Nesten who have lived in the court for a long time, Meng Yi often follows his brother Meng Tian or goes out to fight, or guards the border, and knows far more about the political situation in other countries than Nesten.

(baae) If nothing else, it was just that the Roman nobles could sell the top-secret tactics of their own national army at a clear price in order to obtain high profits, and even sell them to enemy countries.

Such a conscientious thing can be done, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to let that group of selfish and greedy fellows send their own private army to help Scipio for the so-called patriotic belief of defending Rome!

Hearing the discussion between Meng Yi and Ne Shiteng, the other ministers in the court also began to speculate enthusiastically.

However, after all the talk, the final result of the discussion was very unsatisfactory.

Either it is too absurd and does not conform to reality, or it is empty talk and speculation without any basis.

In short, the ministers of the DPRK and China basically have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.

Ying Zheng saw that the ministers in the court did not discuss the reason, and he thought about it for a long time but did not come to a result, so he finally set his eyes on Fusu.

"Fusu, what do you think about these unusual actions of Rome?"

As soon as Yingzheng said this, the eyes of the ministers of the DPRK and China focused on Fusu.

After all, no matter what kind of military affairs were before, Fusu was able to have extremely unique vision and opinions, and the facts that happened later also proved again and again that Fusu was far-sighted and far-sighted.

Therefore, if there is anyone in the court who can be unanimously approved by the ministers, it is Fusu.

And this time, the ministers naturally wanted to hear Fusu's opinion.

"Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters think that the reason why Scipio did not ask for help from our Great Qin Gong at the first time when Rome was already in such a critical situation. "

"It is not due to external reasons mentioned by the previous ministers, but it is entirely due to his own little calculations to fight, or more precisely, his cautious disposition. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Fusu said with a smile.

"What does this mean, Fusu, can you elaborate?"

Ying Zheng felt that he was getting more and more confused.

"In fact, the reason is very simple, we can completely empathize with each other, if you are Scipio, facing the fierce Carthaginian army and the terrible situation in Rome, relying on your own strength alone is not enough to solve these difficulties, how would you choose?"

"If you ask for my Great Qin's assistance, you can certainly sweep away all these foreign enemies once and for all, and you can reduce the damage on your own side, which is indeed the best choice on the surface. "[]

"However, have you ever thought that if Rome asks for support from my Great Qin, it means that Scipio must allow an army that he cannot control, far more powerful than the Roman government army, or even completely subvert his entire country!

"In this way, the country will completely fall under the control of my Great Qin, which is obviously extremely detrimental to the security of Rome itself. "

"I suspect that Scipio should have been in this mind, fearing that my Great Qin would take this opportunity to directly enter Rome and cause the complete destruction of the entire Roman state, so he delayed sending a message to my Great Qin asking for help. "

Fusu went to visit Sophie a few days ago, not only to talk about love, but also to get a lot of useful information.

From Sophie's mouth, Fusu learned that Scipio was an extremely cautious person, and no matter what he did, he basically needed to arrange many preparations before he could do it with confidence.

For example, Hannibal was suspicious and deliberately made a gesture to lead the Carthaginian army to retreat, and the entire Roman army basically believed it, but Scipio still maintained a skeptical attitude and told the Roman garrison to be extremely careful to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.

But if the Roman garrison listened to Scipio's advice, even if the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal attacked in the future, it would never have allowed them to occupy the defense line so easily.

And this time it is even more urgent to ask Daqin for foreign aid.

After all, if you are not careful, it is very likely to lead to the situation of driving away the hungry wolf and ushering in the tiger, and even the entire Roman state will be overturned because of this, how could Scipio not think about it carefully.
