In New Carthage, in Hannibal's commander-in-chief's office, after the celebration party, Hannibal just took a short rest and started to get busy. For him, there were many things that needed to be solved.

"Can I come in?" Levi asked, holding a cup of tea.

"Yes, my office is open to you at any time, my friend." Hannibal welcomed him.

"Thank you very much, you said that, it makes me feel very important." Levi said with a smile.

"It's nothing. It's just a normal thing. You are very important to me." Hannibal said.

"Well, it looks like you are very busy." Levi said.

"Yes, there are a lot of things to deal with. The whole of Spain is not only military issues, but also political issues. It is far more complicated than I thought. First of all, the financial aspect is a problem. Although the silver mine has brought us

It's a huge profit, but our expenses are also constantly increasing. Under such circumstances, we need to find more money-making projects. I'm worried about such things now," Hannibal said.

"Hmm. I wonder what you think about that matter? How should we deal with Loma's problem?" Levi asked.

"I don't know yet. I just told the Senate that they will make the specific decision. Obviously they will feel a serious threat. I think this threat should be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, he

It will bring us a great threat, and our situation will be very bad in the face of such a threat, so we must complete such a thing as soon as possible." Hannibal said.

"Well, I thought about this matter for a while and formulated a combat plan. I think that only by taking the initiative to attack can we fundamentally solve this problem. What I mean is that we should launch an attack." Levi said this.

"Hmm." Hannibal had some surprises, but he didn't calm down quickly enough. He felt that he should listen to what the other party said, or get some unexpected information.

"Tell me, I want to know how to solve such a thing." Hannibal asked.

"My idea is this, we attack directly and destroy the Lockheed Martin army. We can lure them to attack, or use a raid to attack them. Then we will establish a series of forward bases there, cross the Alps, and start from

There into Lockheed Martin, although the best way is to use the navy, but currently

The situation does not allow it. I don’t know how the navy will fight, but I know that Sicily will pose a great threat to our navy. Therefore, the best way at present is to launch an attack from land. They may feel that it is a surprise.

It’s unbelievable, but I believe they can do it,” Levi said.

"Crossing the Alps, there are many Lockheed Martin troops defending there. You know, the terrain there is very complex. For the expeditionary force, they may not be able to get logistical supplies. The most important thing is that the war will have a big impact.

An accident. This kind of accident is very likely to lead to failure. Once it fails, it will be difficult for us to bear the consequences. I have also thought about this problem. This requires a lot of courage and perseverance." Han

Nibal said this.

"I know this too. So, I found engineers and asked them to tentatively build a new channel, a plank road." Li Wei said this.

"Zhao Dao? What is that?" Hannibal asked in confusion. It's no wonder that Hannibal said this, because it is an extremely rare word and is not used in many places. This may be a symbol of Chinese architecture

The best place in the field.

"Well, it's a kind of passage you can find on cliffs and special terrain areas. We will drill a hole on the mountain wall, then put wooden or stone strips in the hole, and then lay the wooden strips, and then we can

Connect them together. That's about it." Levi said, picking up a pen and drawing some schematic diagrams of plank roads on a piece of paper. After reading it, Hannibal could only shake his head to express that he couldn't believe that there were still other plank roads in the world.

Such a crazy way to build.

"Madman, I think the person who invented this method must be a madman, or he is a genius." Hannibal said this. He could not believe that there was such a method.

"In fact, the people of Qin have already used it in war. About a hundred years ago, the people of Qin used this method to annex Bashu. In the south of Qin, there is a Qinling Mountains. The terrain there is no less than the Alps. It is very complex.

, if they open a mountain, I think it is impossible to accomplish such a thing, but they are

They crossed the Qinling Mountains in this way. After the army crossed the Qinling Mountains, they destroyed Bashu. I think we can learn from this. We used the plank road to cross the Alps, and then suddenly appeared in the north of the Luoma people. We just need to keep attacking.

, occupying those cities will solve all problems." Li Wei said this.

Hannibal took action. What he had been worried about before was the engineering problem of crossing the Alps. Although the Carthaginians established their own engineering troops, this required great courage to do so. The courage brought by this

But it is extremely big. If it is not done well, it is very likely to fall into a huge disaster. In such a situation, Hannibal himself does not know what to do. But now Levi has proposed this method

, their engineers have a technical foundation that can be implemented, which is not difficult.

"Okay. Let me think about it, but we still need to supplement a large number of military personnel, as well as weapons and ammunition. In this regard, I hope to get more support. I mean, the amount of ammunition we need is very large, but

Our funds cannot meet their payment needs, and I need your help." Hannibal decided to write to the Senate to persuade them to support him in sending troops,

In this way, they can take the initiative strategically. The Loma attack from the sea is fast and smooth, but the problem is that they still need some time. The ships cannot be built all at once. They still have some time.

.I hope the Senate can speed up the efficiency of their discussions under such circumstances, so that they will not completely collapse when the Loma army arrives.

"Well, I need domestic support for this. It would be great if the country can support such a thing. The situation will be of great help to us." Levi said.

"Well, I hope I can attract their attention, and we will give them greater benefits, such as trade. Spain will always open its doors to Zhao merchants." Hannibal said this. This may be the only thing Hannibal can do

A promise was made. Such a promise may not seem like much, but it is the formation of a huge market, which is very important to Zhao Guo.

Zhao Guo, Handan. In Zhao Jia's office, Zhao Jia is looking at the map with a magnifying glass.

"So this is called Jia?" Hannibal asked the Secretary of Defense.

"Carthage. Also called Africa." The Minister of Defense explained.

"Yes, this name is really a tongue-in-cheek." Zhao Jia cursed. Zhao Jia never concealed his dissatisfaction with things he didn't like, and his ministers were used to it. Perhaps it was his true temperament.

, but such unscrupulous insults may bring about some negative situations.

"What on earth is going on with them?" Zhao Jia searched for a long time on the map before finding the location of Carthage. The map was very simple, which showed that the Zhao people had not yet understood what was going on. They could only

Learn some things through description.

"It's like this, Prime Minister, Carthage still has an enemy in the north. There is an inland sea between them, which is the Mediterranean. And to the north of the Mediterranean, there is a country called Loma. There has been a war between them and Carthage.

The Carthaginians lost the war, but they did not lose much strength. However, the conflict between the two sides deepened. Therefore, we speculate that there is a possibility of a second war between them.

"said the Minister of Defense.

"It's very far away from us, tens of thousands of miles away." Zhao Jia said while looking at the map. Only then did he realize that the distance between Zhao and Carthage was so far.

"Yes, Prime Minister, but many of our merchants have already arrived there and started doing some arms business. The Carthaginians have a very large demand for arms, but unfortunately, our goods need to go through the Suez Canal to get there. This is

It has greatly limited the scale of our business." The Minister of Defense said this. He should have said trade, not business. This is a misnomer. Originally, he did not quite understand the thoughts of those businessmen. In his opinion,

This doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

"We need so much trade. Trade, understand? This is a demand, a market, which is very important to Zhao State. As long as they are at war, there will be such a demand. We can use the military's

Influence, do business with them." Zhao Jia said.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister Guo did this before, but at that time they seemed to be implementing a currency plan or something, which is why the arms trade did not start." The Minister of Defense explained.

"All monetary plans were cancelled. What Guo Kai did was wrong. He did not understand what the Carthaginians needed at all." Zhao Jia said this. In fact, he himself did not understand such a situation.

"I think, at the very least, we should build a huge arsenal there to facilitate us to allocate goods to them as soon as possible. They will need so many things. I believe that our factory will be very happy to like these orders. You go

Arrange it. Remember those weapons, sometimes, not only to satisfy the Carthaginians, but also to meet our needs. We need such a base. Without such a base, we will get nothing. This is important to us.

Said, it is very important." Zhao Jia said to the Minister of Defense.

"Yes, Prime Minister." The Minister of Defense nodded to show that he understood. He would arrange someone to do this soon.

Carthage, the Senate, and the Senate were chattering about some issues. Zhao State sent some consultants here as observers, but they still needed to solve some Carthage language on their own, for which each of them had to learn some relevant

It is too difficult for them to have language knowledge. Their most basic communication is still very problematic, and they speak very fast, which makes them completely rely on translation.

In addition to these, some of the consultant officers who were sent had to learn another language, Latin. That was the language used by the Romans. That language was very fast. If they used that language, it would mean

Now they have to learn more things. It is really difficult for Zhao people to learn such a language, but they still know some things through translation.

"What are they talking about?" a Zhao Jun lieutenant asked the translator next to him. The translator needs to listen carefully in order to translate the general meaning. Moreover, there is not one translator, but multiple translators. They need to translate together to solve the problem.

All translation issues.

"The senators were discussing the news coming from Spain. They said that in Spain, they got a shocking news. The Romans were building a large number of ships and buying more weapons. They would launch an attack from the sea, so that

The attack will pose a great threat to Carthage, and the senators are discussing how to deal with such a situation." A translator translated what he heard.

"Oh. It's finally time for these elders to get anxious. They usually hold meetings very slowly. It seems like the atmosphere today is very anxious." The lieutenant said with a smile.

"Haha, they finally have something to worry about. I thought they would never be anxious again." Others said with a smile. They seemed to look at such a thing with a gloating attitude. There was no way, the Senate was doing it every day

They argue over some trivial things, such as the increase in the price of bread in Africa, or that they need to import food from other places, and the rise or fall in prices for slave owners and slaves. These things are all trivial to them.

matter.

"Listen well, there is still a lot of news that we need to pay attention to." The military attache reprimanded with great dissatisfaction. If young people like this are allowed to come here to study, what can they learn? The military attache thinks so, they seem very impetuous and cannot calm down at all.

Cope with the current situation well.

"Yes, sir." The officers had to calm down. This was a huge test for them. Because they had no interest in it, they had no idea what these veterans were going to do. In their opinion,

Setting up a large number of targets can solve many problems, or bury more targets. As long as the Lockheeders land, it will definitely be over.
