Chapter 19 Prisoners of War Forming an Army (Part 2)
But Machius and Rilias had a say, but the one with the most say was Rabinus. "Caesar's legion is characterized by fierce combat power, top elite, strong sense of honor, hard work, strong civil operation ability, and a strong centurion team. However, there is not much difference between tactics and the rest of the Republic's army, but it is just executed more beautifully. It represents the tenth legion. In addition, I heard that Caesar would build and restore several legions; but Li Bida's legion soldiers are from all over the world, with all kinds of people and all kinds of tactics. He is best at cavalry, artillery and bows, and can perfectly coordinate these things. From time to time, strange and tricky new methods are released. No one is better at learning from any enemy than him. In addition, I really don't know which legion of his is the number one elite."
After saying that, everyone was silent. Since Rabinus evaluated his opponent like this, what else can we say? But the following scene was not discouraged. Rabinus cheered up and coughed, and continued to say, "Etius sent reliable information, and Libida, the city of Utica, had dismissed four of the legions."
After hearing this news, no one denied that this was the biggest positive signal. Among these people, Machius and Li Bida had a personal relationship. In conscience, the engineering director did not hate this man, who was Caesar's deputy. He spoke fluently and elegantly, treated people at least sincerely and generously, and kept his promises within the scope of principles. So he asked, "Is it because of his merits and strength that Li Bida was suspicious of Caesar?"
Rabinus shook his head and said that the situation is not clear now. Logically speaking, Caesar had reasons to be jealous of him, but he was also inseparable from him. It is said that Li Bida is still the chief chief of the Executive Yuan with great power, handling the government affairs of cities and provinces for Caesar, so we cannot take it lightly. "We must formulate a complete bill to deal with Caesar's subordinates and how to deal with Li Bida's subordinates. I don't want to write a piece of paper. I need systematic and regular things. To be easy to implement, in other words, I need real practices."
After saying that, Rabinus continued to cough violently, and then he smashed his fist on the table and shouted, "The great triumphal movement between Caesar and Libida will make them proud, but we have to make sure that this is their final pride. We will soon eradicate Caesar and their sects!"
In the craziest cheers, Caesar led a huge team, captives and mule carts carrying trophy, from beginning to end. He lined up the streets of Ostia to Passini, and faced with the welcome crowd, Caesar wisely reduced the subsequent triumphal styling to weaken the color of the civil war. He only emphasized, "This great triumphal styling is divided into four games, one that I had conquered Gaul, one that was Bosphorus, one that was Egypt, and one that was the barbarians who fought against Spain (at least Caesar wanted to give people the impression that Aphranius colluded with the local barbarians to resist). Each game held a city entry ceremony and a grand celebration, lasting for a month until the Goddess of the Year of the Governors was declared over again."
"In addition, on behalf of the new Executive Yuan, all citizens of Rome or Italian citizens, in addition to the gifts they had previously promised, there were free banquets during the celebrations, and each gave five bushels of wheat flour and ten pounds of olive oil; in all Italy, wartime provinces and non-war provinces, all those who had borne more than two thousand Sessian taxes, regardless of their identity, were exempted from one year's rent and tribute!" Caesar's generosity aroused great fanaticism among the people. Now there are only a small number of dead-hard members, and they also murmured that this criminal who had ignored the laws of the Republic and led his troops across the Rubicon River.
When he saw Li Bida and Anthony who were welcomed with the elders at the gate of the city, Caesar was overjoyed. He wanted to give everyone the impression of his own group of extraordinary unity, so he invited the two to sit together on their long shoulders and walked into the streets of Rome. No one else enjoyed such treatment, whether it was other deputy generals, Caesar's relatives, or Caesar's favorite Brutu and Dihemoth, in the rainy petals that were sprinkled under the city gate, Caesar hugged the two of their shoulders and said, "Immediately in the four triumphals, you must be by my side at all times, Marco and Caesar!"
Then he asked Li Bida about his policy, but the other party replied with a humble smile that it would be more appropriate for him to discuss such matters with the next Chief Chief Ebro in advance.
Caesar laughed loudly, and then he jumped off his carriage with the two under the streets of the Villa Valley, and then walked in groups to the Julia Hall in front of the Grand Plaza. Most of the elders were on the steps and warmly welcomed the return of the Roman rulers.
The senior veterans led by Sipingzel and Banks immediately bowed their backs forward, hurriedly kissed Caesar's back on their hands, and then hugged and kissed each other, "His respected former dictator, the savior who saved Rome from the tyrannical enemy many times, the gods of Venus, the lucky ones and the invincible commander." After adding a dazzling string of honorary titles to Caesar, Sipingzel spoke out the real thing, "When will the expedition to Parthia begin?"
"After this year's Goddess Day ends, we will prepare to march from sea within three months after the Wolf Escape Festival next year." Caesar changed into a loose robe and replied, "So, do you respectful fathers need any help to war?"
Sipingzel cleared his throat, and then with many elders with nervous smiles, claiming that they would publicly issue special orders, once again granting Caesar the identity of dictator and the power of re-election of the consul for ten years.
After hearing this, Caesar clearly saw that Cicero, who seemed more upright in the crowd, had an unusually distorted and painful expression, so he shouted at Cicero through the eyes of others:
"Dear Eloquent, if I had fulfilled the Senate's request, would you also write an article to condemn me like Demostini?"
"Your Excellency, I have no strength to engage in any objection anymore. Since Gatu's death," Cicero replied sadly in such a tone, as if he was a compromise, and as if he was expressing his attitude of continuing to resist.
Caesar sneered twice, and announced that he was going to inspect the progress of the Temple of Venus. Then he asked everyone to be happier. At this moment, one of his personal slaves handed over a dazzling crown. Caesar looked at it and said that he would immediately send my spoils to Sevilla's mansion. He smiled and said to Brutu, "This is sent by the Kingdom of Mauritania, worth six million Sesie Deserts. Only your mother can deserve it in all Rome." Then, he left without commenting on the proposals of the elders just now. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
