Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daphes asked Henipolis to copy copies of the battle report to the ministers, and then said, "You, as expected, did not take long for the Kaliyas contract to be signed. Sparta and Debbie The war in Slovakia broke out again, but this time the Spartan army was defeated by the Thebes. As the Alliance of Thebes, what measures should we take in the next war? What is your opinion on this? "

When most people are still reading the battle report and pondering, the second army commander, Matonis, has already admired the big claim: "Your Majesty, your previous judgment is very correct! The Thebes really win with less More than defeated the Spartans who have been rampant in Greece for many years! "

After the war began, Davers held a military conference to analyze the war. In the case that almost all senior generals are not optimistic about Thebes, Davers made a pre-judgment, thinking that Thebes is likely to win.

Even though the generals have great respect for Daphes, they are doubtful about this judgment. But I didn't expect the final result to be really said by King Davers.

"Your Majesty." Chief of Staff Pringles immediately said: "The commander of the Thebes, Ipamironda, you fancy, did perform amazingly in this battle. He targeted the Spartans. The ingenious design carried out by the traditional formation has played a huge role, resulting in the Spartan army clearly not weak and more in number, but failed to get much play at all, and suffered defeat. It seems that at the end of these years, Bis can withstand The attack of the Bata people is not only due to the bravery of their citizens, but also the commanding ability of their generals. ”

"The Thebes who got a new life in the disaster is in line with Ansitano's point of view. Their high-level leaders are relatively united, and the excellent and courageous Pelopidas is at the helm. The army has a calm mind and a very capable command I ’m not surprised that Pamilonda is the commander, the two sides cooperate closely, and the citizens are full of energy, willing to contribute their own strength to revitalize Thebes, and be able to defeat Sparta. I also believe that with the current upward momentum of Thebes , They will have a shocking performance in the future. Are you right? Ansitanos.

"Your Majesty." Although the successor of Foreign Minister Ansitanos has been determined, the decree has not yet been issued, so he still appears at this important meeting. At this moment, he slightly fell back to Davers and said with some emotion: "Ashamed, someone judged that Thebes will rise a few years ago. At that time, I didn't care. I didn't expect to be said by him. , It ’s amazing! "

"Oh?" Daveus surprised and asked curiously: "Who made such an accurate judgment?"

"Your Majesty, it's your son Apox." Ansitanos then repeated the words that Apox said in the Dionysian Academy, and emphasized: " There are many students in this class, and they can all prove that what I said is true. "

There was a great admiration in the palace hall, everyone praised: Apox was smart and able to make amazing judgments at such a young age. It is worthy of His Majesty's son and was favored by Hades ...

With a smile on his face, Davers seemed very happy, and he listened carefully to the praise of his ministers. After a while, he emphasized again: "Okay, guys, let us get back to the topic. You think you are here What will happen to the situation in Greece after the war? What measures should we take to deal with it? Let's talk about your views. "

"Your Majesty." Lucias, the head of the auxiliary minister, pestered his cane and stood tremblingly.

Daveus said quickly: "Master Lucias, sit down and say! Sit down and say!"

Lucias did not support him, and he sat down again, speaking slowly: "Although we have formed an alliance with Thebes, the situation on the mainland of Greece has always been complicated, so we better not get involved. Among them, dragged down by it.

Now, fortunately, the Thebes defeated Sparta. We can take advantage of this great opportunity. With the good relations between Dionys and Thebes and Sparta, we can act as mediators of the war. , To promote a truce between the two sides, I think that this will not only help our allies Thebes, but also enhance our influence in Greece, and will not be dragged into this war, this is a good thing to do three things with one stone Think Your Majesty you should seriously consider! "

At the beginning, Lyonias did not agree with the alliance between Dionysia and Thebes. However, Davos insisted on it and finally reached an alliance agreement. Now he once again advises.

As soon as his words fell, another assistant minister Anta Orris immediately retorted: "Master Lucias, I disagree with your suggestion! Why should we have an alliance with Thebes? Revenge Sparta tore up the peace agreement, but because of the needs of the kingdom ’s development.

Nowadays, the situation in Africa and Iberia is stable, and Gaul in Shane has been conquered. Although the Ligurians have occasional riots, they are not enough. In addition, other forces in the Western Mediterranean are basically dependent on our country. Not only have they come out of the predicament after the Western Mediterranean War, agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts have made great progress in all aspects. The people are prosperous and stable. They are eager to advance eastward and set foot on the land of their ancestors. Win more glory and wealth! "

"War ... War!" Lucias slapped the back of the chair hard and said hoarsely with a trembling voice: "Continuing warfare does not do much good to the kingdom, it will destroy the stability of the kingdom and make the people greedy. War is not conducive to our governance! Although all previous wars have been won, you have seen the damage caused to the kingdom, which requires a long time to recover. And victory cannot always belong to us, in case in the future If you fail in a war, the consequences will be unimaginable ... so we still have to be safe! "

At the end of this last sentence, his eyes turned to Daveus.

Daveus looked calm and did not respond.

Cipros, another assistant minister, said: "Lordius, the alliance with Thebes is not only a need for the kingdom's development, but also an important decision made by His Majesty based on the kingdom's security considerations.

We all know that Persia has shown hostility towards Dionia, and its full support for the restoration of peace in Greece is a vain attempt to unite the entire force of Greece against Sparta. We are separated from the mainland of Greece by a narrow Adriatic Sea. Once this conspiracy in Persia is reached, the kingdom will become very unsafe on the east coast of Greater Greece, so His Majesty will take the initiative to attack and join forces with Thebes. To destroy the Persian conspiracy.

Now that Thebes unexpectedly defeated the Spartan army, we should seize this favorable opportunity to decisively send troops to Greece in order to support our allies, completely defeat Sparta, smash the Persian conspiracy, and in turn change the Greek city-states Become our alliance, become the barrier to the east of the kingdom, and even further become our forward base threatening Persia! "

"Master Cypress said it well!" Several commanders such as Matonis and Olivers praised in unison.

This made Lucias a little embarrassed, and even Antaoris was slightly uncomfortable.

Daveus coughed twice, and immediately returned to silence in the chamber.

Soon, the hall ’s distinctive, sharp, slow voice sounded: "I agree that I should take advantage of this alliance with Thebes to get involved in Greece and destroy the Persian conspiracy ... However, I am worried Although the Thebes won a battle, they are still at a disadvantage in the war. Is it possible that they will use this victory to reach a truce with the Spartans? "

Haka's words aroused everyone's thinking.

"If Thebes really reached a truce with Sparta, then it is not a good thing for us, because as an alliance of Thebes, there is no valid reason to send troops to Greece." Antaoris first The speech reminded: "We Dionysia has no influence in Greece, and even because we respect Hades, they are regarded as heretics by the Temple of Delphi. They have long denigrated our reputation of the divine kingdom of Dionysia in the Greek mainland. Ordinary Greek people have a bad impression of us. If they rush into Greece without legitimate reasons and without the support of their allies, I am afraid that they will arouse the strong resentment of the Greek people and it is extremely unfavorable for us to control the situation there! "

"There is nothing to worry about! As long as we are strong enough to completely conquer Sparta, other city-states will naturally show respect to Dionia!" Matonis said loudly.

"In fact, in addition to Thebes ~ www.readwn.com ~, we have another legitimate reason to send troops to Greece, and we will also get the support of some Greeks." At this time, another auxiliary minister, Sedorum, interjected. He saluted Daveus and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the promise you made to the Tindaris after the war with Syracuse many years ago?"

Daphus suddenly felt, recalling the scene at that time, Shen Sheng said: "You don't mention this matter, I almost forgot! I once promised them that one day in the future, so that they can return to their hometown , Rebuild their homes, and sacrifice their ancient heroes ... "

There were some ministers in the hall who knew this, while others seemed at a loss. Haka couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, where is the home of the Tindaris?"

"Most of the Tindarris come from Mesenia, Peloponnese, and the land was forcibly occupied by Sparta by force a hundred years ago, and all the people who lived there were converted into They were enslaved by the black rascals, but the Mesenians were dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the Spartans, and their resistance against them had never stopped. It can only be expelled from Peloponnese ... "Davers briefly recounted the history of the Tindaris.
