"Enemy of the State" or a 19 year-old? Hmmm....

Once more we are gathered here in the Senate, and once more we are faced with urgent issues that threaten this great empire. I need not remind you all that we are the council of the finest empire the world has ever seen for a reason. I understand that this senate is divided into factions, but I ask that we continue to work together and hear each other out, for the sake of our city, our families, and ourselves.
After reading Gaius Julius Caesar’s letter, I detected very little animosity towards our Senate and towards Rome.

No, I do not declare myself dictator-for-life, nor do I stand against the Senate for my personal disagreements with their judgment. I have resumed the military administration duties in the Parthian Campaigns of which I was originally assigned to, as these were not addressed in the Senate.[1]

Yes, obviously, he is upset that we did not give his adopted father (and egotistical maniac) any honorary public funeral (of which he was undeserving of), but Gaius Julius is young and has his heart set on his responsibilities on marching against the Parthians, who have regularly threatened the Roman republic. Thus, as of right now, he is actually helping us, more than hurting us. He is ambitious and capable in battle, but I sincerely doubt he intends to march on his fellow Romans, at least not immediately. It is a bit of a surprise to you all that he has left Rome and taken nine legions with him, but I must say that I am not surprised. Imperial arrogance and ambition come with his foul last name.
Thus, we shall devote our attention to our primary concern, which has been our primary concern for the past three weeks, and continues to still be our primary concern: Lepidus. Must I remind this council that we declared him “Enemy of the State” not too long ago? This was a wise decision, but now the time has come and we must act upon our decision. As I have stated in my speeches before, we must not turn our backs to him. He is our most immediate threat, and I am worried that if we twiddle our thumbs over what to do about Gaius Julius Caesar, then Lepidus will strike upon an unprepared Rome first. We must take the initiative and stay in active pursuit of him. He is apparently brilliant at hiding from confrontation, but we learned this quickly at our very first meeting.
Here are my suggestions: First, I propose, once again, that we send embassies to all our neighboring allies immediately and make sure they swear allegiance to us. We must remind them that they are allies with the greatest empire in the world, and we must be able to call upon their aid if necessary. Second, we must give Dolabella more power to put down Lepidus. I propose that we send Decimus Brutus and his three legions to Dolabella with the hope that they will reach him in time before Dolabella finds Lepidus. If all goes well, Dolabella, with additional legions along with his own, will find Lepidus and provide him with an ultimatum. Either he surrenders himself to arrest and criminal trial back here in Rome, or he must fight against skilled Dolabella and our combined legions of proficient soldiers. I understand that this is a bold move, and would leave Rome naked and vulnerable to attack, but it must be done. If we do not give Dolabella our man-power, he will face a much larger army under Lepidus, and Dolabella’s legions will most likely be slaughtered. In addition, we must start raising our own legion for immediate protection. Further, if we are still concerned about Gaius Julius Caesar’s potential to attack on Rome, then we must turn to Sextus Pompey, who has the ability to raise six legions of his own, along with his current convoy. His allegiance to Rome may prove beneficial, yet we must not promise him too much power in return (for obvious reasons).
I trust that you, conscript fathers, will make good on your judgments, but I must emphasize that whatever action we consider, we must do so quickly and efficiently. A wrong move here could lead to the destruction of Rome and this great empire.
