After the six military soul legions of Kushan Zuipao showed matching strength in the Han Dynasty, Rome was convinced that three military soul legions could be produced with one support. Maybe the Han Dynasty's military soul legions would be more powerful than the six.
More.
Although it is stated clearly that only one of the three military soul legions is a complete military soul legion, and the remaining two are obviously incomplete, but doesn't this just show the caution of the Han Dynasty?
The Army Soul Legion can recover quickly as long as it is not completely destroyed. This is one of the greatest advantages of the Army Soul Legion. The Han Dynasty sent a reorganized Army Soul Legion and two fragmented Army Soul Legions, showing their due strength.
At the same time, didn't it also show great deterrence? At least now the Romans were somewhat intimidated by the Han Dynasty.
Also after Rome presented evidence of the willfulness of the Han Dynasty, Kushan also felt the same pressure as Rome. What he had always thought was a bragging turned out to be true. Guishan also felt a lot of pressure. He never thought that the Han Dynasty would
So powerful.
This is also an important reason why the Roman Parliament began to spontaneously look for allies before Severus returned. The Han Dynasty was too crazy.
But at this time, Roma did not directly form an alliance with Kushan, but only hinted at Kushan. Dilip also did not give a clear answer to the other party, but both sides understood the other party's goal.
The Han Dynasty can no longer be understood.
"Since you and I have the same goal, we don't mind telling you a plan. The Han Dynasty is very strong, but we in Rome are ready to fight back." Papinian said with cold eyes, "We are not the ones who know what to do with others.
.”
Although Severus did not return, the Roman Parliament had unified its thinking. No matter how terrible the power of the Han Dynasty was, this battle must be fought. The Romans who dominated the Mediterranean had no habit of not fighting back when beaten.
.
As for Ganassis's peace talks, they can understand that when the situation is weak, taking the initiative can only lead to heavy losses. Calmly stopping the war to accumulate strength, waiting for the domestic situation to become clear, and mobilizing the army to complete the battle is the best from any perspective.
The best policy.
In any case, the destruction of the Thirteen Roses Army requires an explanation. No matter how tyrannical the Han Empire was, Rome also needed to do something. How could the Romans, who used the Mediterranean as a bathtub, lose their fighting spirit because of a temporary defeat.
"Then I am here to wish you victory." Dilip was silent for a while and said, "We will help you when necessary."
Papinian did not have too many hopes for Kushan. The Roman Parliament organized the wise men of Rome to conduct a large-scale future deduction. In the end, they decided to kill Anxi, regardless of whether the Han Dynasty would give Anxi a blood transfusion.
, they all need to die and rest in peace.
Because the Romans knew very well that no matter how good Anxi was, it was still an empire. From the fact that the Romans had been fighting Anxi for hundreds of years and had not completely beaten Anxi to death, they knew what kind of foundation Anxi had. This was a very powerful empire.
nation.
This country is now quite weak compared to Rome. After Severus suppressed the internal rebellion in Rome, defeated the northern barbarians one by one, and incorporated them into the Roman territory, the forces stationed in the western Mediterranean, the northern Mediterranean, and the southern Mediterranean can be completely integrated.
stand up.
This era is the best opportunity for Rome to destroy Parthia. At the same time, the Parthians have been weak for hundreds of years. Even if Vologis V rises for a while, it is impossible to have the strength to challenge the Romans in a short period of time.
To be precise, without the blood transfusion from the Han Dynasty, Vologis V could only jump around for a moment and a half at most, and he would be defeated quickly when the Romans were free.
This is no longer a question of whether the country's emperor is wise or powerful, but the gap in hard power between the two sides is like a chasm.
After the hundred-member think tank formed by the Roman Parliament connected their thoughts with each other and checked for each other's omissions, the judgment they made was actually almost a replica of the Parthian War in Rome without the intervention of the Han Dynasty. Vologis V was a capable
The emperor was right, but he had too much to do and too little time.
In the first Battle of the Two Rivers in official history, Vologis V defeated Rome and recaptured the Mesopotamia. The country's atmosphere of despair, which had not benefited from Rome for a hundred years, was swept away. Under the leadership of Vologis V, the country
Integration began under an iron fist.
If Vorogis V could be given another twenty years, or ten years, even if Anxi lost, it would not be to the point of destroying the country.
Severus's method is stupid, but his choice is indeed the most correct. Resting in the hands of Vologis V has obviously seen an increase in national power. If it continues and the purge continues, Rome will win.
It is also difficult to obtain maximum benefits.
Severus can be regarded as the curtain call after the Five Wise Emperors. His era was the era when Rome had the strongest military strength. Thirty-three legions of eagles, Legions of Severus, First Parthian Legion, Second Parthian Legion, etc.
Wait, the powerful first-line army is directly calculated based on 100,000.
The salary of soldiers has increased five times. Soldiering is no longer an obligation or an honor, but a profession, a glorious profession that takes into account one's own interests.
Except for the industrial era of later generations, no other country could achieve this method for a long time in the feudal era because there was not enough money.
The number of professional soldiers on Liu Bei's side in the Han Dynasty was only 200,000, and this was because of Chen Xi's existence. Moreover, if the income of the soldiers on Liu Bei's side was really higher than the income of the Roman soldiers on Severus' side, I'm afraid the Roman side would be higher.
Even scarier.
This is not the reason why Rome's economy was so high or terrible. To put it simply, Severus was aggressive and militaristic. His approach was the same as that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It didn't matter whether other industries in the country wanted it or not. We only wanted a large army.
This approach sounds terrible, and its disadvantages are extremely clear. It would be a good thing if the economy collapsed and the country was in depression. In the later period of Emperor Wu, because of his aggressive military activities, everyone knew what the domestic situation was like without further explanation. Severus actually acted in the same way as Emperor Wu.
It's a routine.
However, the main reason why Rome was prospering during the Severus era, and even destroyed Parthia, and wandered everywhere is that Severus destroyed Parthia and robbed all the most prosperous parts of the Parthian empire in Western Asia, regardless of whether it was the Parthian treasury or the Parthian treasury.
Severus robbed them all of the nobles.
Then a large part of the Parthian Empire was abandoned by the Romans, and the army returned to Rome with hundreds of years of accumulation in the Parthian Empire.
Although Parthia was about to be destroyed at that time, Parthia was not poor. It can only be said that the great nobles had money and the country had no money. This situation is the same when many countries are perishing.
If Rome wanted to occupy that place, it might have to compromise with the Parthian nobles, but Rome only came to destroy Parthia and steal money. Without the protection of the Parthian Empire, the Parthian nobles were just a piece of cake to the Romans.
Fat meat.
This is also the reason why Severus raised hundreds of thousands of troops and was able to hand over Rome to his son completely before his death. The accumulation of hundreds of years of Parthian Empire was all put into the Roman treasury.
, a wave of fattened Severus can raise hundreds of thousands of troops!
Of course, in the time of Caracalla, there was no such money bag, and it was not like his father who led troops to conquer everywhere and only wanted to reduce the salary of the soldiers. It was natural that they were killed in the end. In short, the current situation in Rome was absolutely
Don't allow yourself to retreat.
After the army has been killed, this part of the salary will no longer be paid at all, which can be regarded as a significant reduction in national financial expenditure.
Although after the era of the Five Wise Emperors, Rome's treasury is now full, Severus followed the same military route as Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu spent generations of the Han Dynasty's savings. Without external help, Severus basically
That's it.
Relying on his promise to his soldiers, Severus successfully secured his throne, and his tyrannical military power ensured that the country would never be divided again. However, Severus, who had now received several waves of salary, clearly knew that he was resting on his laurels.
In other words, if he continues to maintain such a terrible military situation, well, Severus said that the current military situation has not reached his goal and still needs to be strengthened. In short, if this continues, it will become inevitable for Rome to make ends meet.
And at the current speed, even the accumulation left by the Five Wise Emperors will be consumed by him. If he has not solved the problems left by the expansion of the army by then, the Roman Empire will definitely fall apart in his hands.
Severus knew very well that his previous actions had indeed prevented the division of Rome, and the tyrannical force greatly inspired the Roman Empire. With powerful force, he successfully suppressed the Roman Empire that was about to split in the late Commodus period.
are together, and now the whole country seems to be prospering.
But this is just an illusion. The huge financial deficit shows that Rome has now reached the point of resting on its laurels. Although its military strength is far greater than before, its powerful strength has completely defeated the three barbarians in Europe, solved the problems left over from Rome's hundreds of years of history, and quickly established
The pride of the Romans arose.
However, Rome is about to fall into the biggest trouble, that is, a strong military force that requires about ten times more financial investment to maintain. If Severus cannot solve this problem, he, the hero who prevented the division of Rome, will soon be
Because of his policies, Rome fell into endless turmoil and was nailed to the pillar of shame.
Fortunately, Severus had already thought of a way to deal with it from the beginning. There are two ways. One is that the country has now returned to stability and is gradually disarmament, so that the financial investment for the soldiers is reduced year by year.
Of course, a smooth disarmament method may not work. The Romans now have a strong desire to serve as soldiers, and Severus's army has achieved amazing results in stabilizing the domestic situation and defeating the northern barbarians in the past few years. Disarmament may shake the foundation of the country.
, so we need to think of some ways in this regard.
Of course, Severus still had some ideas. Since conventional disarmament was not an option, he could change it to battle damage. No matter what the opponent was, fighting, anyway, compared to the salary of Roman soldiers, a small pension after death was not unacceptable.
The other is to kill the Parthian Empire and plunder the hundreds of years of savings of the Parthian Empire. In the process, countless soldiers will definitely be lost, but as long as the Parthian Empire is defeated, then his status as Severus will not be
Anyone can shake it.
Even if there is a hidden disarmament by then, with his strong prestige, Rome will not be too turbulent. In addition, it will be able to gain hundreds of years of savings from the Parthian Empire. It is almost a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so for Parthia, Severus is sure
Will fight.
Regardless of whether there was a blood transfusion from the Han Dynasty, even if the Han Dynasty brought three military spirit legions, even if the Han Dynasty brought a god from heaven, nothing could stop Rome's determination.
For Severus and Rome, they can no longer wait, because if they continue to wait, they will wait for Anxi to rely on the victory of the Battle of the Two Rivers to establish the prestige of Vorogis V, and then clean it up.
It would not be easy for Rome to kill the silverfish in Parthia's country.
After all, Anxi is an empire anyway. Although more than a hundred years of weakness have greatly affected the strength of this country, as long as a wise king appears, the greatest advantage of the empire will burst out. Give Anxi enough time, although
It would not be possible to repay all the failures that Rome had given to Parthia, but Rome would have thought too much if it wanted to destroy Parthia.
This is also an important reason why Papinian proposed to prepare the army for war, and when Severus returns, he will attack Parthia, capture Ctesiphon, and completely destroy Parthia.
Anxi cannot be allowed to live anymore. If the previous Anxi was weakening day by day, then the current Anxi will be strengthened day by day with the existence of Vorogis V. This method was used by the Han Empire to drive a nail next to their Rome.
Absolutely unacceptable.
What's more important is that it took Rome two hundred years to go from defeat, to victory and defeat, to about to win, and to pick the fruits. It took absolutely no effort at all, and it was impossible to tolerate the Han Dynasty picking peaches like this.
Therefore, although Rome was shocked by the quality of the Han Dynasty's reinforcements, Rome would never stop its war against Parthia. If the Han Dynasty could provide three military soul legions to support the Parthia, then Rome would be able to produce enough power to destroy the three military soul legions.
Come and join the war.
The Han Dynasty brought out the gods, but Rome did not, but Rome could bring out six demigods. Anxiang currently has two dual-talented legions, and the Han Dynasty also supported two super-elite legions, which totaled about 20,000 people, so
Rome will provide five super elite legions with a total of 40,000 people to teach you how to behave.
Parthia has hundreds of thousands of elite legions, so Rome will send out 200,000 elite legions and put up eagle flags to strengthen them and then attack you. Anyway, if the Han Dynasty is willing to participate, then come. If you want to give Parthia a blood transfusion, then come. Anyway, Parthia
The empire must be destroyed by us Romans!
In short, the Romans did not care whether the Han Empire joined or not. Although they were shocked by the military strength of the Han Empire, they wanted to protect Parthian with a partial army. The Romans said that you are overthinking. Since you want to protect Parthia, we must
If you want to destroy Anxi, well, take out your respective cards and turn Anxi into a battleground to show off, and see what capital your Han Dynasty has to keep Anxi!
