    Jin's global economic strategic layout is mainly to maintain the empire's hegemony and obtain enough food and industrial raw materials.  With these things in place, Dajin's industry will develop rapidly.  In order to achieve the purpose of dumping goods to other countries, the only one that can compete with the Jin Dynasty in this year is the Roman Empire.  Although the Romans were technically very different from the Jin Dynasty, they were a country with a complete system after all. Therefore, after more than half a year of hard work, the Romans finally achieved the 'localization' of firearms.  Although the quality and output are not as good as the Dajin, it also gave the Romans a lot of confidence.  But let¡¯s not talk about the output of the Romans, it was not enough for their own use. Therefore, it was the Jin Empire that supported the war between Rome and Persia. The weapons and other materials produced by the empire could support the consumption on the entire battlefield.  "Your Majesty, various supplies have begun to be loaded in ports such as Qingdao and Quanzhou. They will arrive in the Persian Gulf in the near future and then directly enter the Persian mainland. In addition to military supplies, there are also a considerable amount of civilian supplies!  "In the Jiade Hall, Zhang Bin, the chief minister of the cabinet, was thinking about the report from his superior Sima Yuhui.  With the war at this point, the Persians not only need weapons, but also a large amount of people's livelihood supplies, especially food.  The war not only caused heavy casualties to the Persians and Romans, but also greatly damaged the domestic agricultural production of the two countries.  The Romans were better. Their national strength was stronger than that of the Persians. Look at the current Persians, who cannot even support the most basic living supplies.  "Very good, as long as the other party is willing to continue fighting. We will give them as much food and weapons as they want!" Sima Yu said excitedly. War is the easiest way to weaken a country's strength.  If you don¡¯t see it, the Sun Never Sets empire has completely declined after two wars.  Just as the kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty were plotting against Rome and Persia, Meng Guan, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, suddenly hurried in from outside. He handed an urgent report to Zu Ti with a serious face, and then told everyone present a shocking news.  News, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, Persia and Rome have ceased war!" "What?!" Everyone exclaimed, even Sima Yu looked shocked.  Obviously, he did not expect that the feuding powers Persia and Rome would cease war. It seemed that neither Rome nor Persia were fools. They had obviously seen through the Jin's attempt to reap profits.  Sima Yu believed that as long as the news that Rome and Persia signed an armistice agreement spread, it would definitely cause a great sensation within the Jin Dynasty.  After all, many factories rely on both sides to survive. Once the war stops, many domestic factories will be affected, especially industries closely related to the military industry.  It¡¯s time.  Basically, everyone knows that Rome and Persia must not only have signed an armistice agreement, but the two sides may have reached a cooperation agreement, and the two have even become allies.  "It seems that the threat we posed to them is too great!" Sima Yu said with a self-deprecating smile. In fact, he did not know that as early as the end of last year.  Emperor Constantine held a secret meeting with Pusidore.  Pusidore unceremoniously accused the Jin in front of the Romans, "The Jin people provoked this war with premeditation, and then hid aside while watching our two countries fight to the death!" Constant  Emperor Ding agreed, "The Jin people come from the east. Rome and Persia are countries in the west. There is absolutely no need for us to continue fighting like this. Otherwise, the Jin people will definitely benefit!" During this meeting, Junshi  Emperor Tandine and Pulsidore were willing to take a step back and end this damn war.  Soon the two countries reached a peace agreement, and except for Armenia, Persia took the initiative to withdraw from Rome.  "Forget it, we have already expected this situation anyway. Neither the Romans nor the Persians are fools. Maybe they won't notice it at the beginning, but as time goes by, maybe it will. Although the war ended a little  Early, but it can be regarded as achieving the goal of weakening the West." Sima Yu said while looking at the huge world map on the wall of Jiade Hall.  Privy Councilor Zu Ti bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although the war between the Romans and the Persians is over, the trauma caused is not so easy to heal. This war caused a total of nearly 400,000 casualties on both sides, and two people were injured in a short period of time.  The country wants to return to pre-war levels. " "Your Majesty, I suggest that we might as well further increase our assistance to Hormizd III on the basis of the original plan, not only with various weapons, but also with other aspects.  On the other hand, we should strive to give him the strength to threaten Pusidore in the shortest possible time." Zhang Bin, the chief assistant, shook his head after hearing this: "Wouldn't this make it clear that we would fall out with the Persians, and this kind of thing is something we have always done.  What we are trying to avoid is that we will not have the strength to start a war with Persia in the middle of the river for at least five years. A war in the western region will be enough for us to feel the difficulty of logistical supplies. If we start a war with the powerful Persia in the farther west, then we will have to fight.  ¡­¡±  "Besides, although Persia has been maimed now, the skinny camels are bigger than horses. Persia is not Shile, nor is it the small countries on the Indochina Peninsula. In addition, the Romans will not watch us destroy Persia.  Maybe the other party will also side with Persia. If the Jin Dynasty has to challenge the two Western powers, the pressure we will face will be too great." "Are we just watching Persia and Rome lick their wounds?  "These two countries have complete social systems. As long as they are given a little time to breathe, they will be able to recover quickly. If we don't take action now, it will be even more difficult in the future." Zu Ti obviously disagreed with Zhang Bin's statement.  , he always believed that his own side was in difficulty and the enemy was even more difficult. At this time, the Jin Dynasty might not have the strength to fight Persia and Rome.  The ministers present had a heated debate about post-war strategies. Sima Yu did not speak at first. He was listening carefully to the suggestions of the ministers.  In his heart, he still preferred Zhang Bin's suggestion. He always advocated a steady approach and opposed military adventures.  Hezhong has just been incorporated into the Jin Dynasty, and various places have not yet been fully annexed, especially road construction has just begun.  This is an east-west artery spanning Hezhong and the Western Regions, Hexi, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and the Central Plains. Once this cement road is completed, it will become the key to the empire's control of the Western Regions and Hezhong, and will also be the logistics guarantee for the army's future operations in West Asia.  "Okay, please stop arguing!" As soon as Sima Yu said this, everyone present immediately fell silent and looked at the emperor on the throne.  "What Shizhi and Meng Sun said are very reasonable. Just like what Meng Sun said, we will not be able to compete with Persia for Western Asia within five years at least. But we cannot allow the Persians to regain their strength and attack Holmi.  Zed III's assistance needs to be strengthened, but we have to do it secretly. I have an idea. It is better for us to transfer Hormizd III to the northwestern Tocharian area. There are many local tribes there. It is better to let him develop there.  Even if the Persians know about it in the future, we will have an excuse!" "Your Majesty is wise!" Sima Yu always wanted to do it, so after the meeting, he immediately provided Hormizd III with enough to arm an army of 50,000 people.  Military assistance, which includes some horizontal knives, muskets, sabers, war horses, food and other supplies.  In this way, basically as long as Hormizd III could capture prisoners, he would have enough weapons to arm them.  In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of Hormizd III, the Jin Dynasty even provided him with some light artillery. With these things, he could at least stand firm against the Persian attack.  In order to further strengthen Hormizd III's strength, on April 20, after intense secret diplomatic negotiations, Jin Dynasty provided more than a hundred light artillery pieces for free in exchange for money from Jin Dynasty currently in West Asia.  The only military ally's promise: they will launch a large-scale military invasion of Persia in the next time!  Hormizd III, as the prince of Persia, has been obsessed with returning to his country to seize the throne of Persia since his exile in the Jin Dynasty.  When he came to Dajin, he didn't expect to be able to return to his hometown so soon.  In order to win the support of Dajin, Hormizd III was jumping up and down.  At the same time, Hormizd III sent dozens of officers to follow him to study at the Jin Military Academy.  As Hormizd, who was influenced by the military thinking of the Jin Dynasty, although his troops were small in number, their combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.  After receiving a large amount of material support from the Jin Dynasty, he took action quickly. This time he saw that the throne of Persia was right in front of him, and it depended on whether he could win it.  "Your Highness the Third Prince, we have no good intentions when the Jin Dynasty has such a large-scale armed force!" Arhan said worriedly.  "So what? Do we still have any choice now?" Hormizd III showed a wry smile and said, yes, Hormizd III no longer had a choice. He had no choice since the day he entered Yumen Pass.  .  "The Jin people just want this prince to contain the development of Persia. You have also seen that before the Jin Dynasty completes the construction in the river, they will probably not go to war with Persia. But they do not want Persia to develop, so they have to let us go. Humph!  However, this prince is not someone to be trifled with. As long as we can capture Persia in a short period of time, there is still the possibility of competing with the Jin Dynasty in the future! " "Oh, if I had known that the Jin people were harboring evil intentions, I should not have advised His Highness in the first place!  Come to Dajin. Maybe we will be better in Rome than we are now!" Arhan said with regret.  "Hey, how can I blame you! Besides, I don't regret coming to the Jin Dynasty. Although the Jin Dynasty took advantage of us, they also helped us. Without the Jin Dynasty, how would we have the chance to return to Persia? In  During this period of time in the Jin Dynasty, I have finally understood that you have no strength and deserve to be used as a pawn by others!¡±  Ps: Thank you to book friend lmxy for your monthly support!
