"As for your concerns, I have actually considered ways to deal with them before. I believe you don't need to worry about me anymore." Justinian's calm answer, who had broken the silence, made Grand Duke Anastasius, who had been cleaning up the mess before, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What did you say?" the old man asked, looking at Justinian half-doubtedly.

Justinian stretched out three fingers and said with a relaxed look: "About the problems left by the Latins, they may face the enemy's counterattack and the Venetian revenge. In fact, I have already had a countermeasure before, so don't worry, Dad!" He knew that although the old man in front of him said just now, he was actually worried that he could not protect himself. After experiencing the life and death battle at Fort Wiscari, although he became Anastasius' adopted son for reality, the other party did not treat him as a tool, but really taught him his experience and did his best to help the growing Justinian. Therefore, Justinian also respected this great prince from the bottom of his heart, which is why even though the second fragment of the ark of the covenant was on the scepter of the old man in front of him, he had not taken action.

On the other side, Anastasius, who was surprised, still looked at the young man in front of him with some disbelief, "Don't fool me with this old bone. I'm not kidding you. You must know that as my heir, Conir, those guys, always stare at you. A little mistake is very fatal to you."

But the answer to him was Justinian's firm response, "Please rest! The remnants of the Achaean vassal state are just a temporary measure, and there was no seat in the empire. If you want to take it first, you must first go with it. The Latin people of Corinth will sooner or later pay the price for their actions." He previously provided the conditions for surrendering the nobles of the Achaean vassal state rather than compromise, but more so that the other party could relax their guard.

"But doing this will cause dissatisfaction among many people, not only the nobles, but also the civilians. The public often remembers a person's stains more profound than his contribution!" Anastasius shook his head and disagreed. In the Roman Empire, the importance of a future political figure was an indispensable weapon. Justinian did nothing at present, but it is very likely to become a handle for political enemies in the future. "In addition, what about the threats of the Latins of Thessalonika and the Latins of Constantinople? Especially as the Principality of Athens, Bonifax, the leader of the Achaean vassal state, would not let him go with my understanding of him."

"Not to mention them, they may be more troubled by the Bulgarians now, and the Latin people in Constantinople only treat Nicea as a thorn in their eyes, and they have no time to pay attention to us. The only threats are the Venetians. But since the Crusades, they have been regaining their energy and busy dividing up the stolen goods they have obtained in Constantinople, and the power they can mobilize cannot threaten us for the time being. More importantly, they are actually afraid and dare not act rashly."

"Don't dare to act rashly?" Looking at Justinian who was so confident, even the old man could not understand, Anastasius asked in confusion.

"Did you forget whose fleet you rely on to help attack Athens?" said with a sly smile, Justinian chanting, revealing the key point in it in one sentence, and this was exactly a game he had already set up before he went to war.

"Is it a Pisa man?!" Anastasius replied subconsciously. This was mentioned in Justinian's war report, but as soon as he finished speaking, he showed a thoughtful expression, as if he realized something.

Justinian in front of him also nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the Pisa people in Nafplion were forced to participate in this war because of my coercion and temptation, and they have been hiding their identities and participating in the war as mercenaries. But after the war, seeing the Pisa merchants who had frequent exchanges in Molia get rich profits, and also get things that belonged to the Venetians, such as Piraeus Port and Evia, will Venice really think they are innocent? Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will have a grudge in their hearts."

This is Justinian's last method. Although Genoa is actually the one who is behind the scenes to interfere with the hegemony of Venice, and the empire has received more help from Genoa, Genoa's attitude has always been ambiguous and ambiguous. This also leads to the fact that when Venice really directly intervenes in the situation on the peninsula, Justinian lacks the ability to really check and balance the opponent's chessboard, but when the Pizza people are dragged into the water, the situation is completely different.

Pierre, the governor of the Pisa people, seemed to be a shrewd businessman, but in fact, he was fooled by Justinian and threatened to hook up against the Venetian pirate ship, which was thousands of miles away, and could not continue to stay out of the matter.

The same is true at the beginning, Justinian promised Pierre to take advantage of the robbery at sea, not only to make the Pizza people reluctant to leave in Greece, but also to make the Venetians who saw these doubts. The forces behind the support of the Byzantine Empire were the Republic of Pizza, which was also a maritime power. You should know that both have always been firmly opposed to Genoa's united front. Using this clever method to lay out the seeds of distrust, the Venetians can slow down their pace of dealing with it. It is more heavier and can win the trust of Genoa, which has always been vague. It can be said that it is a three-killing victory in one fell swoop.
