Chapter 690

Today's Persian sassanne is indeed on the road of expansion under the rule of Shapur II. A new round of war between Persian sassanne and Rome began in 337. The excuse for the war is that Shapur II believes that Rome slanders him and persecutes Christianity. In fact, Shapur II was really persecuting Christianity. If history had not changed, Shapur II completely banned the spread of Christian faith in 339 A.D.

At the present stage, Rome is in a weak state, especially after the death of Constantine the great, who became the first baptized Augustus in Christianity (337 AD), Persian sassanne casually found a bad reason to go to war with Rome, and Rome itself broke out the war of seizing the emperor, so that there was a one-sided scene in the war between Rome and Persian sassanne.

In some ways, the kusanas and Arabs in the Persian Sassanian territory saved Rome. The reason is that a large-scale rebellion broke out in Syria and Iraq, which led to the Persian Sassanian losing control of the above-mentioned two regions and was once counterattacked by King stantius.

Last year (348 AD), the Persian Sassanian army and the Roman army fought a battle in Iraq. The two sides fought very bloody in Sinclair and ended with the victory of the Persian Sassanian army, but they failed to fully restore their rule over Iraq. It is gratifying that they occupied a lot of territory.

At present, the war of seizing the emperor in Rome continues, and there is a saying of "joint rule of the four emperors", but this second "joint rule of the four emperors" is much more bloody than the first "joint rule of the four emperors" before.

"So... The so-called Roman mission can only represent Constantius?" Lu Yi received kianush the day after the establishment of diplomatic relations Alta Aldasher learned the current situation of Rome from the latter's mouth: "can't fully represent Rome?"

"They really didn't explain." Kianush Alta Aldasher also told some stories about the current situation of Rome, so that he would not tell LV Yi. For example, Constantius was the strongest among the imperialists and the most likely to win the war: "a person who can only represent some provinces, of course, can not represent the whole country."

It should be said that LV Yan really didn't know what Rome was like. Most of his understanding of Rome came from Liu Yan's story telling and referring to the oral statements of some Gupta prisoners of war. Those Gupta prisoners of War didn't mention that civil strife was breaking out in Rome at all.

Kianush Alta Aldasher said that those naturally wanted the Han Empire to reduce its impression of Rome and make the Han Empire feel cheated by the Romans. He would not say that his country is also in the outbreak of internal rebellion, especially the Arab resistance in the western provinces is the most intense. Compared with the kusanas in the East, they are simply scabies.

To what extent did the Arabs resist the rule of Persian Sassanian? Persian sassanne lost control over many provinces directly, but the Arabs did not establish a state. On the contrary, each tribe acted in its own way, which enabled Persian sassanne to break down behind.

Therefore, the earth seems to be in a state of bewilderment. Several empires are far away from each other, but often chaos is a piece of chaos. For example, internal contradictions broke out in the major empires in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and various nationalities under the ruling class broke out in the Western Jin Dynasty. The difference is that some countries broke out together with internal contradictions and conflicts between nobles, Some countries are only unilateral. If you look through world history, you will find that there are so many similar situations that people can't understand how countries so far apart can "infect" each other.

"Thank you for your message." LV Yi did attach great importance to kianush Alta Aldasher's reminder even really disgusted the Roman mission. He raised his glass of wine and invited kianush Alta After drinking together and putting down the wine, aldasher said, "the Great Han and Persia really have a long friendship. In view of this, we should cooperate more closely."

Kianush Alta This is what aldasher wants. After discussion with his own think tank, he believes that it is impossible to form a comprehensive alliance with the Han country immediately. A more rational and correct approach is to start prosperous trade first and form military cooperation in a certain part if allowed.

At present, the main military targets of bossasan are, of course, their western provinces, and there is an urgent need to suppress the Arab rebellion.

The Arabs can only cause trouble to the Persian Sassanian. After the involvement of the Romans, they have been supporting and guiding the Arabs. As a result, it is really difficult for the Persian Sassanian to put out the rebellion for a while and a half. The weak Roman Legion will approach from time to time. Whenever the Persian Sassanian wants to fight but retreats, it is difficult for the Persian Sassanian to take it lightly, Fortunately, the kusanas, though rebellious, were totally weak chickens.

At present, the state of Han marched into the western regions again, but it stopped only when it reached Shanshan, kianush Alta Aldasher learned this. Comparing the map, he found that the eastern province of bossasan was too far away from the Han Army, separated by the western regions, and the hunites firmly stopped in the middle.

It is not easy for bossasan to meet the Han Army in the East. Even if the Han army is willing to advance westward, considering the relevant terrain constraints, the Han Army has to face the desert and block the way. Even if he succeeds in crossing the desert, he has to bump into the Hungarian nites who are not weak at the first time.

In fact, Persian Sassanian did not want the Han country to expand excessively into Central Asia. They wanted to have a buffer with the Han country. Paradoxically, they wanted the Han country to join the war against Rome. The desire for the Han Army to join the war against Rome has existed since the Parthian Empire. It is really unbearable under the internal and external troubles of the Parthian Empire. It doesn't care what will happen after inviting the tiger and wolf division.

At present, bossasan is a little bad, but his old opponent Rome is even worse. Everyone wants to get external help to gain advantage, so as to give a heavier blow when the other party is bad. They will attach importance to the Han country. First, the reputation of the Han people is loud enough. Secondly, the Han country is far enough away. Even if the Han people really set foot in Central Asia or Europe and Rome, they can't stand firm and don't have a substantive threat.

On the premise that friendship will get great help and there is no real threat at all, forming an alliance with such a country is beneficial without harm. No matter how slim the opportunity is, it is worth a try.

Kianush Alta Aldasher tried again and again but didn't get a valuable reply. He was still happy to try again and again. He was really surprised when LV Yi made a formal response.

"Reliability!" Kianush Alta Aldasher tried to calm himself down. According to the strategy he had already thought of before, he said: "the war between the Han Empire and Xinxin is also beneficial to us. We can start a military cooperation there now!"

LV Yi to kianush Alta Aldasher was very satisfied with his words. At least the Persian in front of him was not shameless enough to use the statement of helping the Han country, but clearly said that both sides were beneficial.

Of course, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty continues. Intelligence shows that the Gupta Dynasty is brewing a second large-scale attack. The number of ships assembled in ketak has reached 1500 again, and the Gupta Dynasty is still trying its best to build warships. At the same time, the Gupta Dynasty has also begun its own mobilization.

In the Han Army in a Sanyang, the army is still stationed in the pingman school for adaptability training. There is no plan to land on the Gupta Dynasty in a large scale in a short time. It still carries out frequent raids with the Navy, cutting off the Gupta Dynasty's maritime trade first, looking for opportunities to attack and even annihilate the Gupta Dynasty's navy, and then the landing operation will be put on the agenda.

In view of the strong maritime strength of the Gupta Dynasty, the Han state has repeatedly reinforced the pingman naval department, and almost all the domestic non system navies have been transferred. Liu Yan has built a considerable number of system docks around the pingman naval department and began to manufacture warships, but the system warships will not immediately join the war against the Gupta Navy.

Because the sea power of the countries around the Zhuxia civilization is too weak, the Han people actually have no experience in sea warfare. More importantly, the Han people fight water warfare on inland rivers, but the experience of water warfare on inland rivers can not be used at all. The Han Navy needs to accumulate more experience in sea operations. It will be worth doing to block the Gupta Dynasty to brush experience.

In addition, the state of Han also knew that there were plenty of reserve troops in the Gupta Dynasty. Ah San's clamoring to organize several million troops was more joking. It seemed that he could really organize one million troops at one time. The strength of a San's 1 million troops can only be known after fighting, but it is difficult for the Han country to send more than 100000 troops.

Han's invasion of the Gupta Dynasty was a cross sea battle. Although Liu Yan did not rely on Cross Sea supplies to a great extent, the delivery of troops is really a big problem.

The Gupta Dynasty should have a population of more than 20 million, and the armed a San will not be less than 400000. They will not foolishly release the coastline and let the Han army land. They will certainly lay a defense line along the coast.

Huan Wen is now observing the landing site according to the deployment of the Gupta Dynasty. His idea is very simple. See where the Gupta Dynasty has the strongest troops, there must be a suitable landing site.

It must be said that although they are all coastlines, not any place can be used as a landing point, not the coastal reefs, and the seabed extension is also a reference.

In many coastal areas, the extension of the seabed is exaggerated. No matter at high tide or low tide, the water in the extended water area will not be too deep. There may be places close to ships with a water depth of several meters, which may be kilometers away from the land. Similar areas are not suitable for landing at all.

During the Second World War, so many scientific and technological products appeared, and there were special equipment to charge the beach, but landing was still a huge trouble. Think about what the landing should look like in the cold weapon era in the coastal area where the enemy insisted. It should be that the landing side had to wade and move hard, and suffered endless arrow attacks, Pieces fell into the sea and became corpses.

"Naturally, we can cooperate." LV Yi's opinion on kianush Alta Aldasher's "sensible" appreciated it very much. At present, the military cooperation between the two countries is really only on ah San's side: "can you talk about your proposal?"

Kianush Alta It is obvious that aldasher had made preparations. First, he talked about the geopolitics of the Gupta Dynasty, including the poor relationship between the Gupta Dynasty and vagadoga, and then the relationship between the Gupta Dynasty and several small neighboring countries, The following is a brief summary: "the Han Empire cut off Xinren's maritime trade routes, of course, but it could not prevent Xinren from continuing to trade with neighboring countries, which had an impact on their finances, but it was not fatal."

Then again, although the Han state's attack war cut off the sea trade routes of the Gupta Dynasty, it really didn't go for this goal. It just wanted to eliminate more enemy ships. What would attack the finance of the Gupta Dynasty, kianush Alta If aldasher didn't mention it, LV Yi didn't realize it.

Of course, Zhuxia civilization has the concept of economic war. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, there have been many economic wars, but they have been ignored after the reunification. Even if there are some commodity restrictions on grassland nomads, it can not be regarded as an economic war.

LV Yi doesn't understand economic war, but people are not stupid and listen to kianush Alta Aldasher understood after a little talk, but he didn't intend to start from the economic war.

In the final analysis, the reason why the Han state invaded the Gupta Dynasty was for food, and it did not go to the war to destroy the state at the beginning. This war is a war of conquest. To put it bluntly, it is to fight until the Gupta Dynasty succumbs and is willing to accept the conditions offered by the Han state, mainly to extort food.

Of course, those words do not need foundation yanush Alta Aldasher said.

"Believe me, although people are not strong in war, it is difficult to destroy them at once." Kianush Alta When aldasher spoke, he was careful to observe LV Yi's expression. When he saw LV Yi frown, he explained: "reliability is a country with a population of 20 or 30 million. They are very rich at home because of their prosperous foreign trade and no obvious internal contradictions. They can unite to resist in times of crisis."

It's really not so easy to destroy a country, especially a small country with narrow land and few people. The demise of a great power is usually due to internal and external troubles, unable to resist the outside world and difficult to appease the inside, so it is subjugated under internal and external difficulties.

"Before coming to the Han Empire, we specially invited the Cypriots (two satraps) and kusanas (didoro Dynasty)." Kianush Alta When aldasher saw LV Yi puzzled, he smiled and said, "one of them is connected to Xinxin in the northwest, and the other, although separated from Xinxin by several countries, can affect many countries."
