Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

A huge and magnificent city appeared in the picture, it was Rome!
In the camera, the streets and alleys of Rome are crowded with people.

They whispered to each other, their eyes full of awe and anticipation.

A burst of rapid and powerful horse hoof sounds came from afar, and the crowd automatically made way for a passage.

A Roman commander, wearing shining golden armor and riding a tall horse, appeared majestically.

His eyes were sharp and he looked straight ahead.

Behind him was the neatly-lined and majestic Roman legion.

The momentum is very domineering!
And the sky began to tell the story.

[Dear readers, today we are going to talk about the top star in ancient Rome - Gaius Julius Caesar. 】

[Also known as Caesar. 】

[From a Roman rookie to a lifelong dictator! ]

[Why did this man make history remember him for two thousand years? ]

[This gentleman's life is a vivid growth history of a domineering CEO. ]

【It's just his company.】

[It's the entire Roman Republic! ]

【100 BC.】

[The Roman Republic has entered its late stage. On the surface, it seems prosperous, but in fact, it is full of internal contradictions. ]

[Slave uprisings occurred frequently, and civilian movements surged. ]

[The rise of warlords impacted the Roman republican system and crushed the arrogant senators and aristocrats.]

[In July of this year, in the home of a nobleman named Julius in Rome. ]

【A baby boy was born who cried particularly loudly. 】

【This person is Caesar. 】

[Caesar was born into a noble family. According to mythology, the Julius family is the descendant of Venus.]

【Ancestors of the Romans.】

[But by his generation, the family only had an empty title of nobility and was not financially well off.]

[Not an ordinary little noble. ]

[But it is not a top-tier wealthy family. ]

[Similar to the Xiao family of Lanling in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the ancestor Xiao He was powerful, but now the most powerful family is Wang and Xie. ]

[But Caesar's mother was a powerful figure. She trained him carefully and made him a person with many characteristics. ]

[Although I couldn't afford the most high-end Greek tutor at the time. 】

[But they still hired a Gaul who graduated from Alexandria from Egypt as a teacher at a high salary.]

【…】

[Caesar was not a good kid when he was young.]

[Even though his family was already in decline and he didn’t have much money to spend, he still lived a very extravagant life.]

【Enjoy life while you can, and be generous to others. 】

[He relies on a handsome face and a mouth full of dirty talk to get into the circle. 】

【Make your network full. 】

[Caesar gained a lot of reputation for this, but also became heavily in debt. ]

【At that time, Rome was caught in a civil war between Marius, a plebeian, and Sulla, a noble, and the whole city was shrouded in blood and rain.】

[In the end, the dictatorial warlord Sulla won, marched into Rome, and announced the beginning of his dictatorship. ]

[Since Caesar's uncle was Marius, and his wife was the daughter of Marius's general Cinna.]

[After Sulla came to power, he directly put Caesar on the "Public Enemies List." ]

[But Caesar's previous connections played a role, and many people pleaded for Caesar. ]

【The dictator Sulla also had a sharp eye. 】

【He highly values ​​the ability of this young man, Caesar. 】

[So he asked Caesar to divorce him and then married Sulla's own daughter. ]

[Although Sulla was in control of the world at that time, Caesar was stubborn and refused to divorce his wife. In order to save his life, he had to leave Rome.]

【Escape to the eastern provinces to avoid disaster.】

……

The barrage ends here.

They all flew out one after another.

"During that time, Rome was in the midst of a civil war, and Rome was occupied three times."

"From this perspective, Caesar's family is not simple, being able to marry into a powerful warlord like Cinna."

Sulla said: If Caesar does not bind himself to me, there will be endless troubles.

Sulla: Caesar is ten times more talented than Marius

"But Caesar is also a man who values ​​love. He refused to divorce and risked his life to resist!"

"I didn't expect that Caesar, who was so romantic, was so loyal when he was young?"

"Caesar was very affectionate to his wife, and when she died he let himself go."

……

And outside the sky.

Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile knowingly and nodded in praise:

"Yes, he is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty."

In fact, at the beginning, Li Shimin didn’t agree with Caesar in this video.

Although the gimmick of the few words given by Tianmu at the beginning was quite high.

It seems to say that Caesar was a very outstanding emperor.

But Li Shimin thought.

Even though Caesar was the ruler of Rome.

But no matter how powerful he is, can he be stronger than Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wen of Han, and Emperor Xuan of Han?

No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than yourself?

but now.

Although we haven't seen what Caesar's achievements are yet.

But at least, he values ​​his relationship with his first wife.

This made Li Shimin have a very good impression of this person.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say:
"It is still unknown what Caesar did afterwards."

"But I can infer that he dares to challenge the powerful and values ​​feelings."

“This is indeed a man who has accomplished great things.”

"Emotions may be Caesar's weakness, but they can also be one of his great qualities that make him successful."

……

The sky continues.

[Caesar, who had offended Sulla, did not dare to study in Greece, so he went to Asia Minor, a war zone. ]

[In Asia Minor, Caesar joined the army as a staff officer and made some achievements.]

【But the overall career was not smooth. 】

[Sulla had died by this time, so Caesar returned to Rome and began his new career.]

[Caesar wants to be famous, and what is one of the best ways to be famous? 】

[Lawyers!] [At that time, it was popular to be a defense lawyer in Roman politics. Caesar knew one thing: to survive in Rome, you either had to be rich, talented, or good at making trouble.]

【Caesar took a look.】

[This business is suitable for me. It can show my face and gain fame. I decided to join the business.]

【Then I lost the first lawsuit.】

[But overall, Caesar is clever and eloquent, and can turn the dead into the living and the black into the white. ]

[The most classic one was when he defended a defendant with overwhelming evidence.]

[Seeing that he was about to be killed, Caesar suddenly had an idea and took off his clothes on the spot to show his scars, saying that they were left from fighting for Rome.]

【When the jury saw this, they were so moved that they found the defendant not guilty. 】

【Although it’s outrageous.】

【But the traffic is indeed full. 】

[And Caesar also likes to be a lawyer and sue the powerful. ]

[He also offended several great nobles of the Sulla faction because of this.]

[This quickly established Caesar as someone who dared to challenge the powerful, and earned him great prestige among the common people.]

【After several years of practicing law. 】

[Caesar took a boat to Rhode Island to study abroad and get out of the spotlight.]

[As a result, they were robbed by Silesian pirates on the way! The pirate leader saw that the guy was dressed quite respectably and asked for a ransom of 20 talents.]

[1 Talent is more than 30 kilograms of silver. ]

[But some pirates couldn't stand these Roman rich men and wanted to kill Caesar directly to vent their anger. ]

[After hearing the pirates' ransom, Caesar burst out laughing: "Have you never seen the world? I'm worth at least 50!"]

[When I heard Caesar say that I was so valuable. ]

[The pirates did not dare to neglect it, and let Caesar's companions go back to raise money, and then treated Caesar to delicious food and drink. ]

[During the 38 days as a hostage, Caesar completely let himself go, and gave full play to his eloquence and personal charm, and soon became one with the pirates. ]

[Tell the pirates to shut up and stop disturbing his sleep, write poems and recite them to force them to be the audience. ]

[He even joked about crucifying all the pirates.]

[The pirates took it as a joke.]

[As soon as the ransom was paid, Caesar was released.]

[They immediately organized a fleet and led the troops back to capture all the pirates.]

【Then he fulfilled his promise and crucified the pirates. 】

【Then, I will do this for the pirates' kindness to me.】

[Caesar ordered the pirates to have their throats cut before being crucified.]

……

Seeing Caesar's outrageous actions, the barrage of comments began to complain.

"Pirates must be eliminated! We have to eliminate them!"

"Don't provoke pirates during the novice period."

"Caesar deliberately raised his price so that the pirates would not dare to kill him."

"Jia Xu calls me an expert! I am the nephew of Lord Duan, please don't bury me!"

"It's an old Latin red flag after all, it really can't be worth just this little money."

"Wait a minute? Where did he get this money?"

"Even if your home isn't top-tier, you still have 50 talents, right?"

"Maybe he borrowed it from Pompey."

"These pirates don't even think about whether those who can afford the 50-dollar ransom are capable of killing them all."

……

[After returning from studying abroad, Caesar inherited his uncle's position and became a priest. ]

【But these are not officials within the political system.】

[In the following years, Caesar successively served as a military tribune, a legionary captain, a treasurer, an auditor of the Spanish province, and a municipal official of Roman roads.]

[During this period, Kai was extravagant and often organized public events to please the public.]

[And to build relationships with other noble bureaucrats to facilitate election campaigns. ]

[After several years, I didn’t make any money, but instead I was just borrowing money to work.]

[Caesar owed a huge debt of more than 3000 million. ]

[At that time, the country's annual fiscal revenue was only about 2 million. ]

[That is to say, the debt owed by Caesar alone was equivalent to 6% of Rome's national fiscal revenue. ]

【Caesar became the "borrowed king" of Rome. 】

【But Caesar was not panicked by the debt. 】

[Because he knows that the one who owes money is the boss.]

[When you owe enough money, your creditors will wish you a long life and a successful career.]

【Only in this way can I be able to repay these debts. 】

【Later, Caesar also proved the credit and ability of the borrower. 】

[At the same time, the large-scale Spartacus uprising broke out in Rome during this period. ]

[Pompey and Crassus rose to prominence due to their military achievements and became the real top figures in Rome. ]

[Pompey also held a triumphal ceremony, which was very impressive.]

【Caesar moved between different positions year after year.】

[A lot of money was spent, and the debt was high, but the real core of power could never be touched.]

[Caesar was also moved when he saw the majestic appearance of top rulers such as Pompey and Crassus who had a good relationship with Caesar. ]

[He stands in a temple in Spain, looking at a statue of Alexander the Great.]

[I can’t help but feel sad, and feel that old age is approaching. ]

[“Alas, I am already 30 years old. At my age, Alexander had conquered the world, but I have accomplished nothing.”]

……

Outside the sky, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel the same when he saw this.

"Thinking back to the time when I was stationed in Xinye, I wasted several years there without achieving any success. Although I gained some fame, I was ultimately unable to advance my career further."

Liu Bei sighed.

"To be honest, at that time, my heart was filled with sadness and even despair."

"After half a lifetime of military service, I finally live in a small town called Xinye. With few soldiers and few horses, and my thigh muscles growing back, I can only sigh that old age is approaching."

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, his eyes full of reminiscence.

"My mood at that time was perhaps somewhat similar to that of Caesar on the sky."

"Even more depressed than him."

"But then again, Caesar was still very young at that time, just emerging from his youth and moving towards maturity."

"He lamented that old age was approaching, maybe it was a little too early."

On the side, Zhuge Liang spoke softly:
"At that time, the lord felt that he was getting old and that there was no bright future ahead of him... But in just a few years, the lord's foundation has developed to its current level."

"As long as the timing is right, it is not difficult to start a business even if you are 30 or 50 years old."

"Well, what the military advisor said is very true."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and turned his gaze back to the sky.

"I think Caesar is also a man with great ambitions and has high demands on himself."

"I often come into contact with the top dignitaries in Rome, and when I compare the gap, I naturally feel more anxious."

"So you're only 30 years old, and you're already expressing such sentiments?" (End of this chapter)
