The final battle of the Germanic Total War 045 Vanius the Liberator

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Those who listened to Vannius's teachings in the big tent were not only the commander of the Guards Corps and the commander of the field legion under Vannius, but also the leaders of the British tribes.

    Originally, Vannius only planned to explain the precautions to his own people, but Conlinius, an old fox, was sharper than expected. After discovering that the Gauls had left, but the Germans had not left,  The old fox pretended to return to the city, and when he turned around, he called the leaders of the British tribes and came back.

    The leaders of all the British tribes have returned, including his father-in-law. Vanius is having a meeting with his subordinates again. It is not easy to refuse directly, but it is not easy to pretend that nothing happened, and then consider  The British were also stationed in the city of Massilia, so they were simply educated together.

    Originally, in theory, those who listen to his instructions are his subordinates. Vanius can naturally tell them directly what they should do and what they should not do, and then instruct them to respond to various situations.  But now that there are many more allies attending the small meeting, Vanius needs to carefully consider his words.

    So, after meeting with the British leaders again and arranging everyone to sit down, Vanius started again: "I brought everyone together to explain to you why we are fighting this war and how to fight it.  "

    "Kill the Romans." Without hesitation, Prosetti was the first to speak, "rob their land, livestock, food and women."

    Hearing this, Vanius was helpless again - well, actually, that's what fighting is all about.  A large group of people are just using force to rob other people's wealth - but can you stop saying it so bluntly?  Even if everyone is a barbarian.  But also be reserved.

    In contrast, Rick Burgess, who has always advocated persuading people with virtue, said it much better: "We are here to punish the Romans for their treachery. We and the Romans have always been at peace with each other, but they married their women to you first.  As a wife, to then try to assassinate you is an insult to all of us Germans - and we are not to be insulted."

    This statement is quite justified, and there is no problem between the Germans and the Romans - although the Romans may also retort that "this is not the original intention of the Romans, but just a small group of saboteurs who oppose the Senate and the people."  Behavior" and so on, but it is a good statement if it can be used to start a debate.

    The problem is, there are Britons here - so although this statement occupies a moral position, it is not inclusive enough.

    So.  Vanius shook his head and said calmly: "If it is just an offense to me personally, it is not worth launching a war. We can send envoys. Strong protests and condemnations express our deep regret."

    "That's not the rule of the Germans." After hearing Vanius's words, Osisidis immediately expressed his objection - when have we Germans ever talked about anything but not done anything?  That's what Southern sissies do.

    This rebuttal made Vanius a little embarrassed.  But the Germans have long been accustomed to speaking out. Vannius will not blame others for telling him their inner thoughts directly: "You are right. If someone assassinates me, I will definitely kill them all."  Kill them. And those who instigated others to assassinate me, I will also ask Caesar to hand over. But this war has a more important purpose."

    After hearing this statement, a group of Germans sat up straight and looked at Vannius seriously - the specific matters of going into battle to kill people are naturally the responsibility of the soldiers, and the centurions are responsible for leading the soldiers to kill people.  .  The commander is responsible for how to arrange the soldiers, and Vannius is responsible for the final thinking.

    At the same time, the British people also became solemn - in the eyes of the British people, the meeting has only really begun now.

    "Our war against Rome this time is nominally because of the Romans' assassination of me, but in fact, it is for the order and freedom of the entire world." In order to attract enough attention, Vanius magnificently ignored Europe  , West Asia and the world outside North Africa, and set a very lofty goal for itself.

    "You have all seen it. The greed of the Romans knew no bounds."

    "At the beginning, they were just a small city-state on the Tiber River. But through wars, marriages, and a series of means, they brought the entire Italy under their rule."

    "After that, there are Sicily, Spain, Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, Asia Minor, Africa, Syria, Gaul, Britain, Egypt"

    After a pause.  Vanius' eyes swept across the faces of the audience - everyone was serious and no one was distracted - as expected.  It feels good to be a teacher, especially when the students are all well-behaved children: "If no one stands up to stop them, thenSooner or later the Romans would put yoke on the whole world and turn all nations and peoples into their slaves, which would never be tolerated under any circumstances.  "

    Tapping his fist lightly on the table, Vanius declared categorically: "So, our fundamental purpose is to defeat the Romans, destroy their colonial rule around the world, rescue those who are oppressed and enslaved, and bring our own  Give them their freedom."

    "However, we all know how powerful Rome is?p>

    "Britons," Vanius said, looking at his father-in-law and his friends, "you were once defeated by the Romans, but you yourself expelled the Romans and defended your freedom. But then  Thanks also to the Roman civil war - you could not have succeeded while Caesar and his legions of veterans were still there."

    This is hard to hear.  But the British leaders could only nod helplessly and admit that they had competed with Caesar's veteran army, and the results had already been achieved.

    Vanius nodded and sighed: "The Romans have colonies all over the world. They have a large population and a strong army. It is not something that our tribes, who are scattered into tribes one after another and are still fighting with each other, can resist."

    "That's why I used the help of the tribes to unify the tribes when they were fighting for the title of 'King of the Germanic Tribes'. Build a unified kingdom."

    "That's why I sent troops to 'mediate' the conflict between the Romans and the Belgis. This allowed the Belgis to gather, arm and train, and they became the United Kingdom of Belgis."

    Having said this, Vanius hesitated for a moment - obviously, judging from the current high degree of autonomy of the Bilge people, they really cannot be regarded as a country.

    But that¡¯s not important anymore: ¡°That¡¯s why I suggested that the Britons form a country and elect a king.¡±

    "According to what you say, wouldn't it be more advantageous for you to rule us all directly?" Vanius's reason was very appealing, but there were still some Britons who didn't buy it.

    I heard such accusations.  A group of Germans immediately glared at the speaker.

    But Vanius himself didn¡¯t care: ¡°Indeed, I can do that. But if I do that, what¡¯s the difference between me and the Romans?¡±

    This time, the Briton didn't answer.

    "A wise man once said. No matter how well a person eats, he can only fill his belly"

    "But some people have two bellies." Before Vanius could finish pretending, a particularly thin Briton jumped out and acted cute again, "Zadro can eat enough for four people, we all know this.  .¡±

    If Prosetti said this, maybe Vanius would directly tell the other party to "get out", but the other party is an "ally of Britain" after all, so Vannius could only endure it: "Indeed, some people have special appetites.  Big. But no matter how big it is, there is always a limit. For me, just managing the affairs of the Germans is enough for me to worry about. If I also need to manage the Bilgees, Britons and even the Gauls, I will  I won¡¯t have time to spend with my wife and children.¡±

    "His Majesty the King has six wives." As if he was worried that the British people would not understand the situation, the commander of the field army from Cady announced proudly, which immediately caused a burst of knowing laughter. In this way, it seems that the German king cares more about his family.  Live life, not power.

    Being interrupted by this bastard, Vanius suddenly realized that these gangsters might not listen to his serious reasoning: "In short, your wives and daughters do not need to be bullied, and your property does not need to be plundered.  . But if we sit idly by and ignore what happens to others, sooner or later the Romans will bully us too."

    Vanius¡¯ words made a group of people nod their heads.

    after.  Vanius continued: "So, we must unite. We must help others so that no one will be bullied by the Romans - and in this way, the Romans will not be able to bully and enslave us."

    This time, both the Germans and the Britons nodded in agreement.

    ¡°So, you must remember, whether you are going to Aquitani, or with the Massilians;  , Aroblogians, and Helvetians, please pay attention to your attitude - we are here to help them liberate them from Roman slavery and regain their freedom, not to oppress, enslave, or plunder them.  of freedom and wealth.¡±

    After a pause, before anyone could refute,Us continued: "Of course, we can't fight for them for free, so it is natural to ask for a certain level of compensation - even if we are not particularly powerful, at least our services cannot be cheaper than mercenaries.  .¡±

    "But you must remember that we are not predators, we should not ask for excessive property, let alone treat our allies as slaves."

    After hearing what Vannius said, most of the Germans and Britons nodded solemnly, and some had doubts: "But what if the locals don't want to ** and don't want freedom?"

    Vanius smiled faintly and looked at the person who asked the question with a smile: "If he doesn't want to manage himself, he would rather let others make arrangements; if he doesn't want to enjoy his wife's property, he would rather let others enjoy it"

    When Vanius said this, the people below suddenly burst into laughter again.

    Vanius waved his hand: "Is there such a person in the world?"

    The person who asked the question blushed and couldn't answer - there may be people who don't want to manage themselves, but who is willing to let others enjoy their wife's property?

    "So, if there are people who would rather be governed by the Romans, it is because they were defeated and feared by the Romans. It's not that they don't want freedom, but they think there is no hope of freedom, so they would rather let the Romans rule and look forward to Rome  Human kindness.¡±

    As he said that, Vanius looked at everyone seriously: "So, you must know that we are not only their liberators, but also their hope for independence and their strong backing to maintain their independence - not only  We have to know it and make them believe it too - it's hard, but we have to do it because it's not just their hope, it's ours."
