Chapter 605 Daqin wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman?
As long as the Carthaginian army is defeated in the joint war with the Roman Great Qin, then whether it is Hannibal or ordinary Carthaginian soldiers, what they are about to face must be the end of the entire army.
Therefore, in addition to preparing all kinds of defense and resistance tactics, Hannibal can only hope that Daqin really underestimated their Carthaginian army, and the [-] troops sent out had nothing to hide. tactics.
Only in this way can they defeat the Qin army, and the Carthaginian soldiers led by him can continue to survive.
At the same time, in the office of the highest consul in Rome.
Scipio and the retinue of the consul were sitting upright, both of them looked serious.
"What do you think about Daqin sending reinforcements?"
Scipio was the first to break the silence and asked.
After Wang Ben led the Great Qin reinforcements to set off, Scipio the Younger immediately sent the news back to Rome by letter.
In the letter, little Scipio wrote when the reinforcements from the Great Qin would depart, which route they would take, and when they would arrive.
Of course, it also included the number of reinforcements sent by Daqin. The large number of [-] was written particularly eye-catchingly, as if little Scipio was afraid that his uncle would misread it.
"Your Excellency the Consul, with all due respect, this Great Qin just wants to watch our Rome go to ruin."
The consul's retinue shouted indignantly.
Both he and Scipio had read the letter, and they naturally knew that Daqin had only sent [-] reinforcements. The reason why they were so dissatisfied was precisely because of this incident.
"Be careful what you say and do!"
Scipio obviously did not expect his adjutant to say such radical words.
After being dazed for a moment, Wei Wei immediately yelled at him and at the same time made a silent gesture to him.
Then Scipio stood up nervously, and at the same time, looked around his office carefully, and after confirming that there was no one there, he closed the door and windows of the office tightly.
After doing this, Scipio's face looked better.
"Be careful what you say in the future, be careful that the walls have ears!"
Obviously, Scipio was worried that there would be spies from Daqin secretly watching them near his supreme consul's office.
Although the possibility of this is very low, Daqin Jinyiwei's penetration ability is really too strong.
The most important reason why the Qin army was able to win every battle, and was often able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities and gain insight into the enemy's weaknesses was precisely because of the information provided by Jin Yiwei.
In addition, as Daqin's commerce became more and more developed in Rome, there were more and more Daqin people in Rome. Who knows how many Jinyiwei spies specially sent by Daqin were mixed in?
Therefore, even if this is the office of his highest consul in Rome, Scipio is still worried.
Scipio was cautious throughout his life, both in his military strategy and in his daily life.
It is precisely because of this character that he was able to stay in the position of the highest consul in Rome for so long under the hesitation and exclusion of the major nobles, and he has not left any excuses for others so far.
However, if the careless words of the Consul's retinue just now were leaked out and used by someone with a heart, the consequences would be unimaginable!
You know, with Hannibal leading the Carthaginian army pressing every step of the way, Rome has now reached a difficult point.
If at such a critical juncture, Da Qin was offended by his adjutant's indiscretion.
Not to mention the Daqin army, known as the "world's most powerful army", even the current Carthage army, without Daqin's assistance, would not be able to deal with it on their own.
Then even if the selfish nobles in Rome are willing to help and send their own private army to protect Rome, Rome still cannot escape the fate of destruction.
That's why Scipio was so nervous.
"Your Excellency the Consul, I'm sorry, I was too excited, that's why I kept talking, please punish me."
At this time, the executive officer's followers obviously also realized that what he just said was inappropriate.
So he knelt down in front of Scipio and apologized to him.
"Punishment is unnecessary. Anyway, you have already said what you said. I also looked around here just now. There is no one around, so nothing serious should happen."
"Besides, rather than questioning and punishing you, I want to know now why you have such comments on Daqin?"
After Scipio helped the executive officer up, he sat back in his seat.
"Since the consul asked me to say it, then I will say it."
The executive officer's subordinate paused, and then continued to speak:
"Daqin is the most powerful country in the world, and their intelligence acquisition capabilities are definitely at the top level in the world."
"There is a lot of information about the Carthaginian army, often we as neighboring countries don't know it yet, and they already know it well."
"With such a powerful intelligence capability, I don't believe it. The Great Qin Society doesn't know the number of soldiers in the Carthage army, which is as many as 15."
"Also, Mr. Consul, you have clearly told them in your letter of rescue to Daqin how bad my situation in Rome is now."
"According to the reports from our Roman spies lurking in the Great Qin, there are at least 50 idle troops in the Lantian camp outside Xianyang City of the Great Qin!"
"Great Qin obviously has the strength to send more soldiers to support us, but they only sent 5 people here. This is simply outrageous!"
"10 soldiers, even if we add our remaining soldiers, the number of the army will definitely not exceed [-], which is still far behind the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal."
"Although my subordinates are not proficient in leading troops to fight, but now my soldiers in Rome have almost no fighting power at all.
However, Daqin only sent so few people over, and the difference in the number of soldiers was so great that no matter how strong the fighting power of Daqin's army was, anyone with a little common sense would know that it was absolutely impossible to surpass. "
"In my opinion, if it weren't for our Princess Sophie of Rome who just married His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yingyu not long ago, Daqin would not be able to get rid of the relationship with our country of in-laws in Rome, maybe even a single person would not be sent."
"According to my subordinates, this Great Qin just wants to watch our Rome perish, so that they can reap the benefits."
The executive officer said with an indignant expression on his face, as if Da Qin owed him a lot of money.
