Chapter 648 Borrowing Soldiers? ?
"Naturally, the director of this bureau has ever deceived you?"
"Prince Arshak, our lord's goal in recent years is to unify the Central Plains!"
"I don't have time to worry about your business!"
"Besides, your Parthian Empire is separated from us by thousands of miles of desert. We traveled long distances to attack, and the gains outweigh the losses. This is not my lord's strategy!"
"We Central Plains people pay attention to tolerance and mutual development!"
"If we really want to annex the Central Plains, think about the countries in the Western Regions, who can stop me??"
Hearing Zhen Dao's words, Prince Arshak also felt that it made sense.
"Administrator, the Prince of Rome greets you!"
"Do you want to call in?"
Just when the two were chatting happily, a female official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came in to report.
"Since the Director still has something important to do, then Xiao Wang will resign!"
Hearing what the female officer said, Prince Arshak immediately stood up and planned to leave the diplomatic office. Now he has a very bad impression of the Roman Empire.
So he didn't want to see the proud face of Prince Macrinus. He felt that the Roman Empire should maintain a high degree of vigilance in the future to avoid being calculated.
After going back, one must tell the king about Jiang Chen's deduction, and the king cannot be kept in the dark.
"Prince Arsha, don't rush to leave!"
"Since Prince Macrinus is here, the director of this department should make it clear to him!"
"Let him give up the idea of attacking you in the future, so that you can rest assured!"
"So as not to think that the Director is deceiving you!"
Zhen Dao kept him with a smile.
"That's not good!"
Hearing Zhen Dao's words, Arshak was indeed a little moved. If Jiang Chen and the Roman Empire joined forces to plot against them, wouldn't it be very bad?
"There's nothing wrong with it, just do it!"
"Go and call Prince Macrinus in!"
Zhen Dao shook his head, and said to the female official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Yes, Director!"
The female diplomat walked out quickly, and after a while, a handsome man dressed in noble Roman royal costumes appeared in everyone's eyes.
He has a unique appearance of Westerners and a tall figure. If it is thousands of years later, he will definitely be sought after by many oriental women.
But in this era, Han people generally look down on whites and blacks, thinking that they are uncivilized barbarians.
They are all ashamed to combine with them, and even those ordinary people are unwilling to combine with these people, thinking that this is disgrace to their ancestors.
Unlike thousands of years later, countless people have thrown themselves into the arms of foreigners, not ashamed, but proud, and have completely lost the pride and dignity of a Han Chinese.
"Macolinus pays his respects to the Director!"
After a while, Prince Macrinus appeared in the reception room of the Diplomatic Office. When he saw Prince Arshak also appearing here, he was also taken aback for a moment.
Still, being a prince, he took a deep breath and tried hard not to show anything on his face.
"You're welcome, come and give me a seat!"
"How about Prince Macrinus come to see the director, what's the matter?"
"The director's time is limited, so we will receive them together. Prince Macrinus shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Zhen Dao looked at Macrinus with a smile on his face and asked.
"What did Director Zhen say?"
"It's Xiao Wang's honor to meet Director Zhen, how can I have any objections!"
Prince Macrinus said quickly.
How could he dare to have an opinion, if he offended Zhen Dao, and wanted to buy weapons from Jiang Chen in the future, it would be pure daydream.
After purchasing Jiang Chen's weapon, he realized that bullets are consumables.
Jiang Chen held this thing firmly in his hands. If there were no bullets, their guns, just a bunch of fire sticks, would have no effect at all.
After I bought the weapon, I realized that the bullets had to be purchased additionally.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen wasn't particularly black, and each gun gave him ten rounds of ammunition, allowing them to fight for a while.
As for the money for the bullets, they can only be shipped from the country later, and Jiang Chen directly gave them credit to let them buy the bullets.
I don't worry if they don't pay back, in Jiang Chen's words, if anyone dares to default on his payment.
Jiang Chen would definitely drive the army to their country to collect debts. Not only would they have to pay back the interest, but they would also have to pay the army's expenses. Such a price was something that several empires were unwilling to bear.
However, Jiang Chen also gave them a proposal, to use goods from their country to offset the debt.
Anyway, after Jiang Chen opened up the Silk Road, he immediately set up a royal caravan, and these were all in charge of the Zhen family, so that the Zhen family could make a lot of money by transporting Western goods to the Central Plains.
Moreover, the purchase value of these things is the local price, Jiang Chen can make a lot of money by turning back.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen wanted to take down Armenia. The purpose of stationing troops there was to ensure the smooth operation of the royal caravan and not to be taken by anyone.
Otherwise, if so many products were robbed, the loss would be huge.
Every time it may be the annual income of a small country, or even the income of several small countries, Jiang Chen can't take advantage of those looters.
"Okay then, tell me, what can you do with the Director?"
"Do you want to ask about Armenia?"
Zhen Dao asked straight to the point.
"Huh? Director Zhen is really good at predicting things, how did he know about Xiao Wang's request?"
"Could it be that Director Zhen really descended from heaven?"
Hearing Zhen Dao's words, Prince Macrinus was also taken aback for a moment, he had no idea that Zhen Dao would have guessed his intention in no time.
"No!"
"Because Prince Arshak has the same confusion!"
"The director has already explained to him, the reason why he agreed to Armenia!"
"I just want to stop fighting so that all countries in Central Asia can enjoy peace and common prosperity and develop together!"
"My lord has no plans for long-distance combat, and will never send troops to attack your empire!"
"As long as you don't provoke, then it will always be a cooperative relationship!"
"My lord is stationed in Armenia, mainly to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road!"
"If anyone dares to snatch my lord's goods, they will definitely taste the taste of being destroyed!"
"You Roman Empire, don't think about Central Asia in the future, otherwise you will be an enemy of my master!"
"In the future, everyone can develop together!"
"And our army stationed in Armenia, if Prince Macrinus fails to seize power in the future, he can borrow troops from us to return. My lord promises that he will definitely help Prince Macrinus win the imperial power!"
"I hope that in the future, several countries will cooperate together, and everyone who has money can earn money together. Wouldn't it be better?"
