Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 64: Seclany's appointment

"But I heard that for more than a decade, he has led troops to conquer the Numisia area, and it is not an incompetent person." Kisgo was puzzled.

"Hey, the Numisia region has been affected by Carthage for decades. How many tribes are willing to take the initiative to attach to Carthage, not to mention the Numidians have always been a loose sand, how could they unite to fight against Carthage? The army, the Senate is to send a woman as a commander can conquer Namibia." Hasdrupa said disdainfully: "Uncle said that Monte Adeno is a man who is greedy and can't suffer, I heard that he is in Numi. When Biya’s commander was fighting, he was afraid of the hot weather and never came to the front line to command the battle. Instead, he hid in the tent and controlled the remote control... Hanno sent him to be the commander of the army. It was a joke! Hanno is also a military I know the idiot! I only sent 40,000 people from the city to fight against Dionia. I thought that winning several towns and winning several victories will make Dionya succumb and take some cheap... He I thought that war is like doing business, you can bargain!"

"Yeah, since I have already fought with Dionya, I should try to beat Deonia because of the drought and when I am weak, and I will use all my strength to defeat it!" Kisgo said with a worried look: "If not early Change the concept, this time the attack may be..."

"Isn't that just right? Hanno's failure is just right for us to return to the center of Carthage!" Hasdruba said with a relaxed face.

"But... what if Monte Adeno is indiscriminately commanding our army?..." Kisgo was worried.

Hasdruba glanced at him: "You forgot what Uncle Margo said! We don't have to listen to the command of Monte Adno, our army is in charge of ourselves!"

Kisgo thought about it and suggested: "In this case... we better be able to lead the army alone."

"I will go with Monte Adeno to make this request. I think he is not willing to stay with him who always argues with him and does not want to obey him." Hasdrupa’s face is bad. laugh.

At this moment, the cries on the mast screamed at the door: "Come on Sicily!"

The spirit of Has Drogba and Kisgo rushed to the bow and looked at the land outline that loomed in the distance.

Hasdruba is excited: "Kisgo, let us work together!"

..........................................

"I didn't expect Carthage to send such a commander. If you don't come to the battlefield, you can win the battle. It's also a kind of ability!" After watching the information about the Carthage army, Daves was in a good mood.

"Copying these information about the information of the Carthaginian army and sending it to Prosuos immediately, I believe he will make good use of it." Daphus took a part of the information from the table. To Aristiras.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Aris, do you think this Hanno only sent 40,000 troops... Oh, plus Iberian army, a total of 60,000 people went to Sicily. Does he really think that only these 60,000 people? The army, can you defeat me Dionia, completely occupy Sicily?" Davers suddenly asked.

When Davers sometimes thinks about some important state affairs, he will suddenly ask questions from his neighbors to prove his ideas or broaden his ideas. Aristiras is prepared for this, he said without hesitation. "Perhaps Carthage's Sofitel Hanno never thought about completely occupying Sicily, or completely defeating our Dionia. He just wanted to win some victories and forced us to sign some agreements that would benefit them... ”

"...justified." Daves nodded indulging. After a while, he touched his jaw and said in a deep voice: "It is also possible... The Carthaginians don't want to send so many troops at once to increase the pressure on logistics. It’s the development of the war situation, and it will increase in the future... But in any case, the power of the Carthaginian, Hanno’s, played well in politics, but obviously there is no Magniide family. In his mind, he did not regard this war as a decisive battle between Dionya and Carthage. This should be a good thing for us..." Daphus said, and the voice gradually went down. I fell into thought again.

Aristilas stood quietly and did not say anything.

After a while, Davers looked at him again and said: "At the guardian's official meeting yesterday, the guards from Uzentum, Mesagne, and Udière all mentioned that there is no stranger. The Mesapi people went in and out of the residences of some of the former Mesapi tribe leaders in towns and villages, and you sent someone to check them out."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"It's best to figure out who their supporters are behind! It seems that some people want to create more trouble for us when we have a war with Carthage!" Daphus looked sharply. In front, in fact, he already has a suspected object in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away!" Aristilas looked awkward.

At this time, the court guards came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Selkarian arrived."

"Let him come in!" Daves said happily.

Aristiras immediately retire.

Selklian, who is already in his 40s, is still slender and athletic. He can’t see any signs of middle-aged men’s body blessing. He walked into the office and strove to Daves, quickly and simply. A standard military ceremony: "Your Majesty, I am coming!"

"Hey, look like this, it seems that you can't wait." Daves joked.

"Isn't it, my Majesty! I have been in the small bay of Tarantum for almost ten years, and I have forgotten how to drive a warship!" Sekolian also joked.

"It seems that I have to reconsider changing a naval commander." Daphus said seriously.

"There are better naval generals in the kingdom than me!" Seclerian responded immediately.

Both of them laughed haha.

"This time I sent you to Sicily, commanding the first and third fleets to fight with the navy of Carthage. The third naval chief, Frarius, is your former man, and it is more convenient to command. You still have What is the requirement?" Daves said in a positive color.

"Can you send the second fleet to me?" Seklelyan made his request without any politeness.

Davers shook his head: "The fleet of Midorades needs to contain the Romans on the West Coast. Besides, after the first fleet of nearly 60,000 people went to Sicily, most of the military supplies were supplied by the kingdom. You also know that the kingdom has just experienced In the drought, the cities in Nanyi are all food-stressed. I have given priority to the food delivered by Egypt to your fleet. If you add another 30,000 to 40,000 people, I am afraid that most of the navy you have commanded will have to go hungry."

There are now four fleets in the Kingdom of Dionia. The main fleet of the first fleet is in Tarantum, the second fleet is in Trina, the third is in Katane, and the fourth is in Brindisi. Since the number of people required to form a fleet is very large, in principle, they are all nearby. For example, the main force of the first fleet is stationed in the northwest corner of the port of Tarantum, from which the land of Metapontum is basically allocated. The sailors and helmsmen of the First Fleet, as well as some sailors from Tarantum, Metaponto, Heraclia...so every time the first fleet is trained, they can carry enough rations in time. Arrived at the base.

In addition, the main force of the Denia fleet is the crow warship. The main mode of operation is the joint warfare. It requires a large number of infantry to be killed on board. In the South Italian War, the infantry was completely provided by the Army Corps, but after the establishment of the kingdom, Sekleian made recommendations to the Ministry of Military Affairs. He believed that each time the army came to participate in the naval operations, in the usual training. Difficult to coordinate (because the fleet station and the legion are not together, and it is impossible to train with each legion), and in the war it is impossible to fully exert the power of the legion (because it will be dispatched to the fleet from time to time), it is better to let each The fleet itself is equipped with infantry specializing in the navy, so that they can fully devote themselves to killing at sea and invading the enemy's coastline...

The Ministry of Military Affairs disputed his suggestions. The report was finally passed to Davis, and Daves signed the "agree". Because, in his heart, it is clear that the Navy is always used to attack, they need to have their own Marine Corps.

To this end ~www.readwn.com ~ the naval station needs to have enough land to accommodate the sailors and fleet infantry. So the second fleet is in Trina, where there is the plain of Orpheia; the third fleet is in Katane, where there is the fertile plain of Catania; the fourth is in Brindisi, and the city of Brindisi It is itself a naval base; the first fleet is in Tarantum, and the submarine is stationed in the military port in the southern part of the Sobari plain. Therefore, each time the size of the fleet is quite large, especially the first fleet, the number of which is completely more than the sum of the five army corps. Once away from the station, the consumption of food is huge.

Securian certainly knows the pros and cons of this, and no longer insists on it. Then he asks a sensitive question: "I went to Sicily, who is the commander in the commanding operation? I am the newly appointed Sicilian commander Prosso. Sis?"

Davers gaze at him and solemnly said: "In principle, the Navy is responsible for you, the Army is under the responsibility of Prosuos, and the sea and army work together to defend our territory in Sicily and destroy the invading Carthage army. You When discussing the military plan with Prosuos, Sicily Governor Sipros will also participate. When your two sides are arguing, he will make the final ruling. Once the plan is established, it must be fully implemented without any shirking or delay. ”()
