The successful defense of the tower ship against the Qin army's warship reveals a paradox in the Operations Department's plan: to build this long bridge that is more than twenty miles long, it is necessary to build an artillery tower ship that can resist the Qin army's warships; but if there is an artillery tower ship that can resist the Qin army's warships, why do you have to spend any effort to build a bridge? Directly build a detachable floating bridge, or simply send a fleet of tower ships to protect the boats in Daliang City from Muze, both of which are simpler and easier than building a bridge.

Fortunately, the Operations Department drafted two plans, one was to build a bridge directly, and the other was to build a large building ship across Muze. However, the latter had to occupy the already very tight shipbuilding resources and transport hundreds of thousands of people in Daliang City, but the building ship was not effective in building a bridge.

Seeing that the Qin army's warships were helpless against the tower ships, Xiong Jing thought of these two plans, and even thought of cement ships. Cement can build bridges and ships. However, the cement ships are of great importance, accounting for more than half of the drainage tons, and the hull is not resistant to bumps. Of course, it is always good to have ships, forty to fifty thousand tons of cement, as long as the huge tendons are enough, it may be able to build 300,000 tons of cement. In this case, it is not known how to choose to spend the large tendons of cement building bridges and squeeze out the originally tight resources to build the tower ships.

When Xiong Jing decided to hand over this matter to the Grand Sima Mansion and Zao Mansion to decide with specific numbers, Nao Xin's shout came from behind him. Amid the cheers, Xiong Jing could not hear what Nao Xin was saying, and only saw him talking loudly.

"What's the matter?" Naoxin, who was riding a horse, ran to the car and Xiong Jing asked.

"Red Youxun." Naoxin held up the news in his hand. This was the pigeon news a few months ago. The scars on the pigeon barely healed on the pigeon showed the thrilling 100,000 miles across the Eurasian continent.

"Red!" Xiong Jing was shocked. Both fleets heading to Xizhou were far away. In addition, the fleet withdrew from the Red Sea, he almost forgot the previous plan to establish a world spice trade network. Everything was too late. The State of Chu could only adjust its deployment after evading Xinying and activate the plan again.

"Yes." Songs rang out from both sides of Muze. Xiong Jing jumped off the roof of the carriage before hearing Nao Xin's words. The news is not the original text of the pigeon news, and it was only after copying the Grand Sima Mansion. This is not the first pigeon news sent by Hong. This may be the second or the third. The sending location is a port that has never been heard of: Ostia.

Ostia is a port, which is at the entrance of the Tiber River. It is about 60 miles northeastward along the Tiber River. The left bank of the river is the Roman city located on the Latin plain. The relationship between Ostia and Roman city is a bit like the relationship between Wusongkou Fort and Shanghai City. Many ancient port cities were not near the sea, and were generally located at the inland rivers entering the sea estuary.

This is of course for security. Ostia, located at the mouth of the Tiber River, is such a military port to defend the city of Rome, although the purpose of establishing this port was first trade and trade with the Carthaginians.

A few months ago, a powerful fleet that had never been seen appeared in the Tyrrhenian Sea, which immediately caused panic among the Roman navy patrolling along the coast. After the end of the First Punic War, Carthage did not completely surrender, and the Baccar family, which had an increasingly powerful influence on the Carthage Senate, went to the Iberian Peninsula to explore without the permission of the Carthage Senate.

Although, as Hamil Kabaka said, he would not be able to pay war reparations if he did not explore the Iberian Peninsula, the Baka family's actions on the Iberian Peninsula far exceeded the extent to pay compensation for silver mines. At least the nominal purpose of dealing with local tribes was completely independent of the Carthage Senate. The Baka army, which had 50,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry and 200 elephants, made the Romans worried.

The Baccar family's army will inevitably attack Rome at some point, which is a hidden worry for the senators. For this reason, the Roman Senate once sent a delegation to the Iberian Peninsula, but did not go to the Carthage Baccar family's actions on the Iberian Peninsula were not under the control of the Carthage Senate, and the military pay for the army was not allocated by the Carthage Senate, but was borne by the Baccar family alone.

If history has not changed, the Roman Senate will send another mission to the private territory of the Baka family on the Iberian Peninsula to test Hamil Kabaka's intentions again (because of a Chu armored garment, the man did not drowned two years ago). Both sides will sign the famous Ebro Treaty in the New City of Carthage on the Iberian Peninsula, namely:

Rome and the Baccar family were bounded by the Ebro River on the Iberian Peninsula. The Roman Senate recognized that the Baccar family's sphere of influence south of the Ebro River belonged to the Baccar family. Rome promised not to cross this river to start war with the people of the Baccar family, but the city of Sagonto, located south of this river, enjoys autonomy; the Baccar family promised not to carry weapons across the north of the Ebcar River.

(The treaty never solicited opinions from the Carthage Senate, nor was it ratified by the Carthage Senate in the future.)

When Hong appeared in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Roman Senate had not had time to send an envoy to Iberia. The Roman Navy, on a state of alert, thought that the Carthaginians were coming. Until he got closer, he saw the shape of a ship that was different from the warships, and the clothes and appearances of all races on the ship that were completely different from the Mediterranean, the commander believed that this was not the Carthaginians coming over again.

The fleet soon sailed into the port of Ostia under the leadership of the Roman Navy, and Hong also arrived at the city of Rome as an envoy and entered the Senate to speak. When he spit out the long list of titles of Xiong Jing, it immediately attracted the laughter of many elders. The Romans were proud of the republic, and a country with a king was obviously an extremely powerful country. When the news broke and talked about the history of the Chuni State for more than 800 years, these laughtering people were restrained.

The known world at this time is far older than the Chinese world. The Greek city-states seemed to be the eighteen provinces in the pass after more than a thousand years. They were ruled by the Macedonians, a combination of Mongolian, Manchu and Qing dynasties for more than a hundred years. Tyrants like Tian Daijiang appeared frequently more than three hundred years ago. Roman ally, the Syracuse King Hilo II on Sicily could no longer say which tyrant was the country. To put it simply and bluntly, in the known world, the king can basically be equated with **.

More than 800 years ago, the city of Rome disappeared. Although such an ancient kingdom did not go to republic, it did not appear in tyrants in three or four hundred years like the Greek city-states. This has to be said to be a miracle. When I heard that this country had a civilian house (outer dynasty) that had vetoed the Senate resolution, and the seven elected consuls took turns to rule, the elders suddenly stood up to pay tribute.
