Chapter 3979 Trade
The scale of the African beast tide has reached an unprecedented level. Just Ma Chao, the imperial guard with less than 3,000 people, rushed over and said that it was a tickling gap in the ferocious beast.
"I feel at ease, there will be no accident. I don't believe that my Claudius family's friends will not leave any tricks." Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Can the experimental subjects still kill the researchers? If this happens, how much food will the research institute have to do?"
"But now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's go to the Persian Gulf quickly. Never take the same boat with the latecomers. You know, I guess it's normal for the boat to capsize when the boat is overturned." Ma Chao's intuition was very terrible. He deeply felt that he could not go with Li Jue and others.
"It's not so exaggerating." Uberto explained helplessly. He always felt that his legion commander had a misunderstanding about Chi Yanghou and others. Except for his mischievous behavior, Chi Yanghou and his party were pretty good in other aspects. At least most Romans thought so.
"You actually think I'm exaggerating?" Ma Chao curled his lips and said, "It's really not exaggerating at all. You don't know what it means to have a deep understanding of them. I feel my conscience and say that I know the three of them more deeply than you."
This is the truth, the problem is that no one will believe it, because some of Ma Chao's behaviors are really impossible to make the Romans think that they are human behaviors.
"Anyway, hurry up and send me a letter to the Persian Gulf to arrange a troop transport ship." Ma Chao was very dissatisfied with the camp leader's doubts and decisively used the other party as a tool.
After thinking about it, Uberto thought that his corps commander had shamelessly boarded the other party's pirate ship and asked the other party to take him to North Africa. But after Uberto brought his troops over and showed that he had arranged a series of tasks for the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion to station in the Midia area, his corps commander decisively turned against others. This kind of behavior of destroying bridges across the river is indeed a bit worthy of beating.
Although looking at the previous situation, Uberto felt that his legion commander and the Han Empire's three men should be quite familiar with each other, after all, they could tell their words and deeds. In addition, Ma Chao had super public relations skills equivalent to Lehou in the Han Dynasty, and it was no secret that Ma Chao and Li Jue knew each other, and they were very familiar with this, so there was no problem.
After all, Uberto also participated in the battle between Ma Chao and Sansha to encircle and suppress the Immortal Guards. Since then, the two sides have never fought and met each other, and it is very possible to communicate with each other. After all, Mamiconiyan's communication skills are very famous around the world.
The other party can even chat and laugh with the Han Empire's military god, the regent princess, and the empire duke in a non-diplomacy state. What kind of communication skills is this? It is simply a socialite.
Therefore, Uberto was not worried about the impact of Ma Chao's behavior of destroying the bridge across the river. It is estimated that the relationship between the two parties will reunite after a while, but it will take a while to dump the other party recently. Even if it is a girlfriend, it will take a while to apologize before it can return to normal.
If it were the last troop transport ship now, with Uberto's understanding of Ma Chao and Li Jue, it would not be an accident that both sides fought directly on the troop transport ship.
"No problem, I'll make some arrangements. The Persian Gulf has been very busy recently, and there should be a lot of ships." After a whisper in my mind, Uberto made up his mind instantly. Sure enough, at this time, he still had to distance himself from Chi Yanghou and others first.
"Find a big ship and put more than 2,000 of us on a ship." Ma Chao said casually. In addition to fighting in the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion, this guy was just giving orders.
"Ah, we don't have such a big ship." Uberto said with pain. It is impossible for the wooden version of the seventh-generation castrated ship to carry so many people on a ship. Although there were indeed such top-level building ships that could hold three thousand people during the Three Kingdoms period, that ship was easy to overturn.
What's more, the ships used for navigation are all pointed ships. In addition, Roman technology is indeed a bit bad, so it is impossible for warships with this capacity to have this capacity at this time. As for the Han Dynasty, there seems to be no Han Dynasty, and it is probably the Kushan Dynasty.
The problem is that Kushan can transport 3,000 people in one large ship. It is not only a matter of carrying capacity and space layout, but also a matter of mounting technology. Apart from Nangui, no second empire can do such top technology, even Beigui cannot do it.
"There are no big ships that pull more than two thousand people." Ma Chao looked down upon them very much, "How much can our ships be pulled? If not, I will ask the Atlantic Governor to approve a few."
Ma Chao was not familiar with Niger before, but after the change of days, he recalled the memories that Ma Chao became familiar with Niger, just like Lao Kou. Lao Kou was not familiar with others before, but since Lao Kou fought Zhu Luo, Lao Kou dared to roar with Li You for the sake of Kou Feng's disappearance.
So whether you are familiar with this kind of thing depends on whether you are in the same circle. It is obvious that Ma Chao is in the same circle as the senior executives of Rome, so I will not borrow it from the boss if I don’t have a ship. Duke Niger will borrow three big ships for me, and I will go to the trial voyage for you!
"We have a lot of people. If we want to have a good meal and accommodation, it is better to arrange a fleet for transportation. This is not a problem. I had already contacted the Persian Gulf before I set off. Even if there is no combat fleet, I can arrange commercial cruises for us." Uberto, as an excellent tool man, promised with his chest.
The Roman navy was not an oceanic navy, but a pure Mediterranean navy. The combat effectiveness in the ocean was the same as the former Jiangdong navy, and the ship's technology was relatively old, but it could not resist the collapse of the Roman Empire. It took advantage of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Kushan and exchanged technology from the Kushan side.
This technique is good, I learned it, and we just happened to have the armor we replaced. Why don’t you, Kushan gritted his teeth and changed it.
This technique and tactics are good. I want it. We just happened to have the armor we replaced. Why don’t you? Kushan gritted his teeth and asked for it.
Relying on the support team of the barbarian army and the military preparations for returning and exchanging armor, Rome made a lot of good things during the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty. There was really no way for the Han Dynasty. Moreover, it has been the case with the war between the Warring States and countries that did not participate in the war, which has always been the case.
But from ancient times to the present, in the world war, those who can stand firm and not participate in the war, sell arms, and make money from war are all big shots, and they are not afraid of others causing trouble.
Just like now, Rome thought that the Han Dynasty and the Kushan period would have to work for 800 years. It had been almost ten years before, and the Kushan food and grass logistics still had nothing to do. Even if the soldiers were a bit useless, Kushan could still last for many years when they were fighting locally.
Therefore, Rome was very happy to buy arms, and Kushan was really a bit of a foundation, with many things worth trading, such as various spices, medicinal materials, rare gems, peppers, gold and silver coins, etc. Rome was happy to make a fortune in war.
For Rome, he was just a pure melon-eating and drama-watching person. Anyway, no one in Rome thought that the war between the Kushan and the Han Dynasty could end so quickly. Especially after the Roman Observatory Group looked at the terrain of Beigui, they felt that the war could be fought like this and it was time to come to an end, because the Roman Observatory Group felt pain in the terrain of Beigui.
All of them are the corners of high mountains and ridges, a river valley road, and the narrowest part of the Khyber Pass that came out of the mountain was only 600 meters. If they were Rome, they would throw a first auxiliary legion there. Even if a million troops rushed towards them, they could only watch monkey plays. This is a hammer, and the Han army is really hard-working.
So Rome continued to sell equipment for Kushan. Of course, Rome actually wanted to sell it to the Han Dynasty, and then made some of the world's top alloys produced by the Han Dynasty in recent years. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty did not lack equipment, so it could only sell equipment for Kushan, and then bought Uzi steel from the Kushan.
After all, Uz steel produced in Kushan was the most peak thing in the world before the 17th century. Even in the 21st century, some of the characteristics of Uz steel were considered top among alloys. For example, the Ashoka iron pillar in Delhi, India has not been rusted for thousands of years.
The terrible nature of natural resources is fully demonstrated in this regard, so when there is no way to trade equipment with the Han Dynasty on a large scale, Rome calmly exchanged the elimination armor and Kushan for the Kushan top resource Uzsteel.
By the way, recently, the steel smelting technology in Rome has also emerged. After the Celtics were concentrated, these blacksmiths, driven by Pompianus's road, integrated the steel smelting technology they had accumulated over thousands of years and also headed towards the path of alloys.
But there is no way to produce medium and high-quality carbon steel directly in a large-scale manner like the Han Dynasty. Uzi Steel is actually not weaker than carbon steel produced by the Han Dynasty in terms of technical strength. The problem is that Chen Xi can equip every soldier with a full set of carbon steel equipment, but Kushan can still have a set of Uzi Steel armor for each person?
If Kushan has this productivity, it is estimated that it is possible after a hundred years of fighting. The problem is that Kushan's Uz steel is provided to the top legions at most, and the dosage is also of particular importance, such as a spear head or a sword, but can this kind of thing be used to move the entire armored legion of the Han Dynasty? No, so this is very embarrassing.
The comparison between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan period has entered the comparison between the Western Qin Dynasty and the Jinhan period. Top equipment is indeed not inferior to the Han Dynasty by relying on natural resources, but the output of the Han Dynasty can reach dozens of times that of the opposite side, and it is impossible for the Kushan to die!
Ma Chao naturally didn't understand these, but as a senior Roman leader, Ma Chao could see some things. The good things from Kushan were constantly flowing into Rome, and Rome was becoming stronger. Many of Rome's eliminations were also flowing into Kushan, helping Kushan survive.
