"Prime Minister, do you have any plans?" Julia asked.

Thomas thought: "If the Qin army's naval base nearby can be destroyed, the Qin army's water power can be eliminated in the Mediterranean and its surroundings within a few years!"

Julia nodded and thought, "Based on the information obtained before, the main base of the Qin army's naval army is likely to be in the Persian Gulf near Susa! We did not pay attention to this information before!" After pausing, he asked the intelligence minister Yushenko, "What is the water power of the Qin army?" Yushenko replied awkwardly: "Because the Qin army did not pay enough attention to the Qin army's naval army before, he could not collect information about the Qin army's naval army!~~"

Julia frowned.

"~~. The information we currently have is from a year ago. The information shows that the Qin army has 45 gunships of various types and more than 300 large crossbows and gunships! The most noteworthy of these is the gunship they call the "fortress ship". This gunship is more than 50 meters long, more than ten meters wide, huge in size, equipped with 32 heavy artillery, and extremely strong firepower!~~"

Julia and everyone present could not help but change her face, because the most powerful gun ship in the Roman Empire was only 36 meters long. Although it was equipped with thirty-two artillery pieces, these artillery pieces were far less powerful than the artillery pieces of the "Fortress".

"~~. Fortunately, our number of artillery warships is much more than them! We have twenty-four large artillery ships, more than 60 other various artillery ships, and more than 400 large crossbow gun ships and twenty-four fireworks! Our overall naval force is much stronger than that of the Qin army! Moreover, the Qin army is far away from the local area, and the logistics supply and other aspects cannot be compared with us!"

Julia looked at Thomas, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Thomas nodded and said, "Yushenko's analysis was very thorough! The current situation is indeed the case! But there is one question in this. Should we have a great battle with the Qin people on land?"

Julia frowned, "I don't want to! But if the Qin people want to fight, then I can't do anything!"

Thomas smiled and said, "I don't think the Qin people would want to do it either! I finally understand why they are strengthening their vigilance at the border! It turns out that they are going to take action at the sea!"

Julia nodded, "What you said may be right! But we must be on the land! Tell Schneider to be on guard, but we must not take the initiative to provoke the war! Otherwise, we will be punished for treason! In addition, the two legions prepared in the Thirteen Eastern provinces and the two legions prepared in the Greek region will be transferred to the Assyrian region!" "Yes!"

Thomas said: "Your Majesty, don't forget Jerusalem! The rebels in Jerusalem are now greater than before! We should put them out as soon as possible, otherwise once they become bigger, it will be difficult to deal with!"

Julia said in annoyance: "What did Batra do? He was repelled by the rebels twice in a row!? This time, even the food and grass were burned by the other party!"

Thomas thought, "According to Batra's report, the rebels who raided the camp that night were well equipped, and I felt that this was very strange at that time! Now I finally understood that the rebels' equipment must be supported by the Qin people!"

Julia couldn't help but frown.

Thomas said: "Although General Batra failed to attack twice, this is not his responsibility! Therefore, I suggest that Batra still be responsible for extermination of the rebellion in Jerusalem!"

"How can this work? Isn't this encouragement of generals to defeat the war?" a minister objected.

Julia stopped Prime Minister Thomas who wanted to argue and said, "You are right! But these two losses are not Batra's responsibility, at least not entirely his responsibility! Let's do this, demote Batra to the commander of the legion! However, given the current situation of the war, he is still responsible for destroying the rebels in Jerusalem! Do you have any questions?"

Seeing that no one raised objections, Julia issued an order as follows. Then Julia ordered: "Sentence the naval forces stationed near Sardinia to gather in Jerusalem and order the water armies in Rome to prepare for war! The Intelligence Agency sent elite personnel to investigate the Persian Gulf region and focus on the Susa region! Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" said everyone.

"Very good! Just follow this! The meeting will be over!"

Julia left the hall and returned to the harem. While thinking, she walked towards the garden of the harem. Julia came to the garden, raised her head, looked at the empty garden in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. At this time, a palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, Queen Bospru Alina has arrived!"

Julia's eyes lit up, "Please!"

The palace maid Yingnuo said and stepped back. After a moment, the harem maid led a stunning girl wearing a narrow waist and long skirt. It was Alina, who was much more mature and more gorgeous and charming than she had been a few years ago. She was really a stunning beauty!

"Sister!" Alina called out with a smile.

Julia smiled and said, "Sister, you are more beautiful than before! Even my sister can't stop you from being charming!"

Alina smiled pursed her lips, "Actually, my sister is much more beautiful than me!"

Julia teased and smiled, "Sister, when did you learn to speak flattery?"

Alina smiled and said, "This is not a flattery! This is the truth! Sister, you are the dream lover in the hearts of men in the entire empire!"

Julia giggled, gave Alina a blank look. She sighed, and her mature and beautiful cheeks said with a little melancholy: "But he doesn't want to stay by my side?"

Alina's eyes lit up and she asked curiously: "Sister, I wonder which man is so lucky?"

Julia sighed, shook her head with a wry smile, "I can only tell you some things. Sister, my sister fell in love with someone, but he is a general of the Qin Empire! Alas! Is this very ironic?"

Alina was stunned, and a kind of melancholy surged into her heart, "Sister, you may not know yet, I fell in love with someone too! He is also from the Great Qin Empire! And he is also the emperor of the Great Qin Empire!"

Julia was stunned, smiled bitterly, held Elina's hand tightly, and sighed: "Sister! It seems that you are as unfortunate as me! We are destined to have any results with them!"

Alina couldn't help but feel ache. Her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said to herself: "Is this really the case? No, I don't want this!"

The Roman navy gathered urgently, and at the same time, countless Roman spies rushed towards the naval bases of the Qin army in the Persian Gulf. Every day, the Qin sentries almost caught one or two suspicious people.

"It seems that the Roman naval army has made a big move!" Zhao Yun looked at the sand table in front of him and said. Two people stood in front of him, namely Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who were commanding the Persian Gulf naval army.

Zhao Yun raised his head, "Xingba, Youping, how do you need our army to cooperate?"

Gan Ning said carelessly: "Your army can't interfere in the naval battle! Let's see how we are!"

Zhou Tai said: "Zilong, can you support our army's gunpowder and shells!"

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "This is no problem! I immediately ordered the gunpowder stockpiled in Ekebatana and half of the shells were transferred!"

Zhou Tai thought, "This number is still not enough! If the naval battle has not been decided, these shells and gunpowders will not be supported for long! You must ask Your Majesty for help!"

Zhao Yun said: "I sent a letter to the pen a few days ago and sent a letter of help to me!"

Zhou Tai nodded.

Ganning pointed to the strait leading to the Mediterranean Sea and said: "This is the only way to the Mediterranean Sea, and here~~" Ganning's finger moved to the sea outside Jerusalem, "and this is the place where the Roman naval army gathered! If we pinched this place, we could block the Roman naval army!~~"

"No!" Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai shook their heads together.
