Chapter 2125: The collapsed finance

In the battle in western Norway, the Celtics successfully broke out of the encirclement under the leadership of the new king, and the Celtics north of the Danube also began to retreat eastward with a touch of emotion.

The Slavs also retreated to the Eastern European plains, but compared with the Slavs' sufficient preparation and tough strength, the Celtics, who lacked logistics, were obviously targeted, both the Germans and the Romans were chasing the Celtics.

The Celtics throughout Europe began to move eastward at the beginning of this wave, and Xu You was waiting for their arrival there.

Compared with the short-legged Romans, they gave up after chasing hundreds of miles. As the Germans who were promised by Severu, they desperately chased the Celtics, chasing them from Western Europe to the coast of the Baltic Sea, and they did not stop until they entered the territory of St. Petersburg, Russia in later generations.

Because this place has reached the territory of the Slavic people, compared with the Germans and the Celtics, as the ancestors of the Russians of the fighting nation, the Slavic people said that although we are very low-key, our combat effectiveness is definitely no worse than you.

Compared with the Germans and the Celtics and Romans that lasted for hundreds of years, hundreds of thousands and millions died because of this. The Slavic people have been eating melons all year round, squatting on the plains of Eastern Europe to watch the Germans, Celtics and Romans fight each other to death.

It can be said that if it weren't for this wave of Romans who were crazy and wanted to defeat all the barbarians, the vast majority of the Slavic people would have squatted in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea to continue to be their own melon-eating crowd.

Now that the Romans have defeated the Celtics, they seem to have recaptured the Germans. The Slavs felt what it means to be like a thorn in their backs. Therefore, the Germans who surrendered to the Romans chased them all the way to the Baltic Sea to kill the Celtic Pope and Queen, and the Slavs took the initiative decisively.

Although the Slavs were scattered, the main large tribes were located in the Eastern European plains near the Baltic Sea.

The Slavic tribes who participated in the war before were actually mainly in the northwest of the Black Sea. There was no way, and they were too close to each other. If they didn't fight, the other two barbarians would be beaten by the Romans sooner or later, so they started to attack in advance, but they were defeated without thinking.

Therefore, before the Battle of Great Britain, the chief of the Slavic tribe in the Black Sea area east of the Danube contacted the brothers of the Eastern European plains. On the one hand, he borrowed some people, and on the other hand, he also informed me that if I can't beat my brother, please remember to help me.

At this time, the Slavic tribes had a very good relationship. After all, the Duchy of Satsuma, which was bleeding behind, the more bloody Duchy of Bulgaria, and the Great Moravian State, which destroyed tribal feelings.

At this time, the Slavic people were still very united. The brothers from the Eastern European plains said, "You can go, it won't work, we will pick you up on the Baltic coast."

With this answer, the Slavic tribes near the Black Sea decisively joined the scene, then were beaten up by the Romans, and then chased by the Germans.

Fortunately, he finally ran eastward to the Baltic coast, where the Slavs greeted him.

"Brothers from the Black Sea, do you want to help?" The Slavs of the Eastern European plains asked with a quick look.

"Hurry up and take the initiative. These are all brothers bullied by the Romans. Behind them are bastards who surrendered to the Romans. Help them quickly!" The Slavs near the Black Sea screamed.

The Slavic boss from Eastern Europe appeared and brought five thousand people, all of whom were strong men holding big axes. The Slavs' unique double-talent heavy tomahawk army launched an attack on the Germans who were chasing their brothers.

Although the Slavs' heavy tomahawk, which had extremely poor smelting skills, was not very sharp, but the stone axe that was big and heavy enough was enough to cut the enemy to death.

Therefore, he casually wrapped a piece of sheepskin and drank a few big mouthfuls of wine. The bearded man was so messy that he could not see the human face. He carried a mess of stone axes and iron ore so polished to look like an axe and easily cut off the Germans from the Baltic Sea!

Compared to fighting, the ancestors of the fighting nation said that we don’t know why we are so strong, but we will definitely kill you.

The Celtics successfully escaped, but their strength was greatly damaged. The Slavs on the Eastern European Plain allowed the Celtics to settle in the east of the Eastern European Plain, but at the cost, the Celtics needed to provide the Slavs with three thousand big axes and two thousand gun heads every year.

The Queen of the Celtics looked at her subjects and agreed to this request without much thought. As one of the earliest civilizations in the world to master smelting technology, the Celtics were almost the earliest nation in Europe to understand smelting. As long as there are high-quality iron ore, axes, and gun tips, there is no problem.

After the two sides reached this point, the Slavs of Eastern Europe welcomed the Celtics to join the Eastern European ranch, and the era entered a new chapter.

Naturally, the Germans promised the Romans nothing could be achieved. The Slavs in Eastern Europe were very strong and were far from the Roman border. The Romans were not willing to go to the expedition. This matter came to an end. The Slavs silently remembered this wave and prepared to take advantage of the Romans when they were in trouble.

Although the final pursuit did not complete the Roman plan, Severu was quite satisfied with completely driving the three barbarians out of his sphere of influence.

What's more, the Germans, whose population was calculated in millions, were completely conquered. The Celtics were killed by nearly 100,000 and captured hundreds of thousands, and about less than 500,000 were fleeing in a difficult situation.

As for the Slavs, although this nation is also a barbarian, compared with other barbarians, this barbarian basically has no sense of existence. He has now run to the Eastern European plains. Even a madman like Severu doesn't want to go to the expedition at such a long distance.

"Forget it, the Slavs will let them go this time." Severu held the blood-red wine with lead powder on his back and said proudly to the commander who participated in the war this time.

Since this moment, there have been no rivals around the Roman Empire except Rest.

"I don't know how Garnasis did. Is it completely defeated Ali, so don't let me take action!" Severu held the wine glass and remembered Garnasis.

During the feast after the great victory, all the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Great Britain felt honor and pride, and made them more acknowledge Severu's rule.

Compared with the era of the Five Sages, as soldiers, they not only enjoyed the glory of the winner, but also enjoyed the welfare of heroes. Roman soldiers who gained fame and fortune have a deeper recognition of their professional soldiers.

The celebration banquet lasted until late at night. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, even Severu was a little drunk and demolished the great wealth brought by the Celtic hometown. Under Severu's order, all the soldiers participating in the Battle of Great Britain received a second reward.

"Hu." In the camp, Seville looked at the statistical report taken out by the clerk and was very troubled, "Pompianus, what do you mean is that if we continue like this, we will not be able to afford this scale of expenditure, right?"

"Yes, my Majesty, I told you a long time ago, but you didn't take it to heart." Pompianus said with great headaches.

As Pompianus, a member of the Senate and the Finance Officer in the era of Marco Aurelius, was the last of the Five Sages, who was a member of the Senate and a finance official, wanted to tell Severu that I want to step down, please let me go. I don’t want to take the blame if you spend so much money.

"That is to say, if we spend this way for up to thirteen years, we will have financial collapse and then we cannot maintain it, right?" Severu said embarrassedly.

"No, it's more serious than this. Although the Roman Empire suffered a political blow after the era of the era of the era of the Five Sages, the strong foundation of Rome and the wealth left behind by the era of the Five Sages were enough to provide decades of financial subsidies under the stability of the country, but you are completely different!" Pompianus said with an extremely big head. He didn't want to be a financial official, especially this kind of national finance that was obviously about to be a doomed state. Your Majesty, please let it go!

The Five Sages were considered excellent emperors of the Roman Empire, and they were all considered consuls who were good at governing the country. Rome's comprehensive national strength steadily rose by these people. By the time of Commod, the Romans had obvious extravagant behavior, but the treasury was extremely full.

However, first Commod had a trick, and the country was in chaos for three years. Then Severu came up to recruit soldiers and increase the salary of his soldiers. Simply put, after Marco Aurelius' death, Rome's finances were in a deficit stage.

Fortunately, the Five Sages Emperors had a strong foundation. Pompianus calculated after running away when he was Commod. According to Commod's spending speed, the treasury could still withstand it before Commod was killed by the Guards. To be precise, the Roman treasury meant a drizzle!

In Pompianus's cognition, there was no turmoil between the city guardians and the state guardians, the treasury was not empty, and the state system did not collapse. There was no problem with temporary turmoil. When Commod died, as long as he stood up and took over the position of the financial officer, and continued the loose economic policies of the Five Sages of Emperors. Whether Rome or Rome is, there is no need to worry at all.

The reality development is similar to that of the financial officer Pompianus. Commod died soon, and then he was taken back to continue as the financial officer. The new emperor Severu was very reliable. He didn't say a word in terms of economic and financial affairs, and just told him that it would be enough to continue to develop according to the policies of that year. But tell me who made you increase the salary of soldiers by five times!

Severu's new policy has completely collapsed the financial officer. Do you know how much money you earn? Do you know how many soldiers you have raised?
