Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 553 Scipio's Worries

"After seven days, then we will ask Daqin for help after Sophie and Prince Yingyu get married."

Scipio pondered for a while, finally made his own decision, and spoke.

"After seven days? Your Excellency the Consul, why don't we ask Daqin for help now?

Daqin is far away from Rome. Even if we ask for help now, it may take about a month for Daqin's reinforcements to arrive.

Even if Daqin transferred troops from Seleucid, it would take at least ten days. "

The adjutant was puzzled by Scipio's decision.

After all, Hannibal's Carthaginian army had completely occupied the border fortress, which made Rome itself an unprecedented threat.

However, due to the problems of the terrain and its own combat effectiveness, the main Roman army could not solve it for a while, although the Carthaginian army has not made any major moves yet.

But this is because they incurred some consumption and casualties when fighting the front-line garrison, and they needed to rest and tidy up.

What's more, they have just occupied the previous line of defense, and they don't know much about the usefulness and usage of the various parts of the line of defense, so they need to get familiar with them first.

Logically speaking, this is the best time to attack Hannibal.

Although Rome is short of troops now, as long as Scipio writes a request for help and sends it to Daqin, Daqin will definitely send troops to reinforce it.

With the fearsome combat power of the Great Qin army, the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal will not last long before disarming and surrendering, and their crisis in Rome will be resolved easily.

However, if Scipio postponed the call for help until seven days later.

I'm afraid that the Carthaginian army had already finished recuperating by that time, and they had a thorough understanding of the role of each fortress on the defense line.

At that time, the difficulty of the Carthaginian army will be raised to another level!

Even though the fighting power of the Great Qin army is terrifying, facing the Carthaginian army, which occupies the geographical advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there are not enough numbers, I am afraid that they may not be able to solve them in a short time.

Once the two sides start a tug-of-war, the Qin army will inevitably suffer battle losses during the battle, such as worn weapons, broken armor, and so on.

However, because the standard equipment of Daqin's army is too sophisticated and advanced, Daqin's control over this strategic resource is very strict and has not been leaked at all.

Therefore, Rome has no ability to replenish the Qin army for their losses.

This also means that if the troops of the Qin army do not want to use the shoddy Roman weapons, they must travel thousands of miles to transport their standard equipment from the Great Qin to supplement their losses.

However, the railway from Daqin to Rome has not yet been completed, and the Suez Canal has not yet been dug successfully. It is extremely inconvenient to send these strategic resources from Daqin to Rome.

There is no doubt that this will be a long process, and the time to fight the Carthaginian army will also be greatly prolonged.

You know, war has always been an extremely money-burning activity.

Whether it is the usual food and drink of the soldiers, or the loss of weapons and equipment, including special combat tools such as horses, arrows, and siege vehicles, all of them do not require the support of large sums of money.

The Great Qin army traveled thousands of miles to support Rome, and it was impossible for them to pay this money, so the money naturally fell on the head of the Roman state treasury.

However, his family knows his own affairs. As the consul's adjutant, he knows very well that the country's financial situation has already been overwhelmed due to Scipio's implementation of the New Deal. It won't be long before it crashes!

This is also the reason why the adjutant couldn't understand Scipio's decision.

"As you said, Qin's army is too powerful. Whether it's their superb military strategy or sophisticated and advanced armed equipment, they are not comparable to our Rome."

"Besides, we were severely injured by the Qin army in the battle to capture the Seleucid Kingdom. Later, due to territorial reasons, we fought endlessly with the Carthaginian army all year round. Our Roman army has long since lost its former glory."

"In addition, our Roman frontline garrison was recently attacked by the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal. Although the frontline garrison was not wiped out, there were not many left. Although the main force of our Roman army is still there, But both mental energy and combat ability are not as good as before."

"If Qin's army is allowed to enter our Roman territory without hindrance, I am really worried that something we cannot predict will happen. At that time, our Roman army will not be able to stop the Qin army's edge, and we can only let it go. Let them do what they want in my Rome."

Scipio said in a low voice.

"Your Excellency the Consul, do you mean that you are worried that the Qin Congress will take the opportunity to occupy Rome in the name of supporting Rome to defeat the Carthaginian army?"

After listening to Scipio's words, the adjutant's eyes were full of horror.

He used to only think about the marriage between Rome and Great Qin, because he had a powerful backer, so when the Roman frontline garrison was almost wiped out and the frontline fortress was occupied, the first thing he thought of was Xiang's Great Qin call for help.

With the help of Great Qin's power, Hannibal's Carthaginian army was wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, he ignored whether Daqin would have other ideas.

With the current form of Rome, coupled with the strength of Daqin, if Daqin really wants to annex Rome, then their Rome can only be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and there is no way to fight back at all.

Thinking of this, the adjutant couldn't help but stand on his head, and felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart.

"It's still your Excellency the Consul who is very considerate. Your subordinates only want to use the power of Great Qin to solve Hannibal's confidant trouble for us in Rome. You even forgot the hidden dangers brought about by letting the Qin army enter Rome."

"Furthermore, what you said just now, Your Excellency, also made my subordinates suddenly realize that after Daqin became stronger step by step, its external expansion seems to have never stopped and has been going on all the time. "

"After the internal unification of the Great Qin, the first step was to destroy the powerful enemy Huns in the north, and then beat the once prosperous Maurya Dynasty to half-death, and then annexed the Seleucid Kingdom by various means. A series of small countries around it."

"Great Qin's territory has surpassed that of Rome before I knew it. In addition, there is also the Great Qin Railway that is being built aggressively, and the Suez Canal that is being vigorously excavated. I am afraid that Great Qin's mind is really not simple!"

After analyzing it in this way, the adjutant can't help but feel a sense of dread.
