Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"In order to reunite the brothers of our military camp together, we must first understand the current situation of the military camp. So, everyone here, please introduce the personnel and materials under their jurisdiction." Daveus looked around everyone and said.

There was a little silence in the big tent, Antonios spoke first, then Capps, and then Alexis... The battalion situation was the most complicated, and Mercis's speech was also the most verbose, and Davis had to remind He tried to be brief.

Daveus listened and recorded.After carefully listening to everyone’s introduction, he had a general understanding of the overall situation of the Mennon Barracks. After a little sorting, he said: "According to your reports, we have ten heavy infantry squadrons in our barracks, a total of 1,009. Fourteen. Four light infantry squadrons, a total of 487. There are a total of 1,581 soldiers with complete armor, good physical condition, and no injuries.

There are three doctors in the medical camp, six female slaves, and two camels, but in addition to Herps who is proficient in trauma treatment, the other two doctors cannot independently treat the wounded soldiers.

There are fifty guards and two hundred and seventy three slaves in the yinzhongying camp, including 198 female slaves and 75 male slaves.It has 29 pack horses, 18 pack cows, 56 sheep, 37 chickens and ducks, and 580 bags of wheat flour.The remaining money for the purchase of support is one Taranto silver, thirty mina, and five drachmas. This is all our possessions."Daveus put down the scroll of paper in his hand and said to everyone: "Do you see any omissions?""

The team officials were a little surprised.It should be understood that the mercenaries, including these team officers, are mostly uneducated, not to mention doing numerical calculations and summarizing alone.

Mercis clapped her hand, "Pap! Pap! Pap!": "Daveus, you are too good! Such a fast calculation ability! It is much better than me!"

Anthony at the side remembered that Daveus was illiterate. He glanced quietly at the scroll of paper and found that it was full of strange symbols and fonts.

The team officers glanced at each other, and a little more recognition of Davers's abilities in their hearts.

"Since there is no objection. Then wait a while, Felixius and I are going to participate in the military meeting of the mercenary leaders. Squadron leaders please go back and inform the soldiers to check the weapons and equipment and prepare for the battle. In the afternoon, leave the first The Tenth Infantry Squadron is stationed in the barracks, and the other squadrons are lined up in order to enter the venue of the General Assembly. Because of the large number of people, you must maintain order and prevent riots." Daveus finished and looked at Helps again. , Asked: "How is the situation in the medical camp? The war is about to start, and the number of wounded soldiers will definitely increase. You must have a plan. Clean linen bandages require more preparation and at least one more auxiliary manpower than now. Times is enough..."

From time to time, Helps asked Davers to ask some medical questions, such as: Why use fire to grill debridement knives?Why use a piece of cloth dipped in cold water on the forehead of a fever patient?...Daveus’s answer is always both peculiar and thought-provoking, so Helps regards Daveus as a teacher, and his attitude is always respectful: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to prepare when I go back, if If there are any difficulties, I will definitely come to you for help!"

"You are our Ascledias (the god of medicine in ancient Greek mythology, the son of Apollo), of course, we must all help! If there are medical problems, I can discuss with you; lack of labor, captains Can provide; lack of things, you can find Merseys." Davers smiled.

Everyone also said they would provide help to the health care camp.

Mercis volunteered to report to Daveus: "Chief, I have let the slaves slaughter some sheep and made a lot of bacon this morning. After going back in a while, I put the remaining sheep and chickens and ducks, and the excess The cattle are slaughtered and made into sausages to store food for future marches. What do you think?"

"Mercis, you are our big housekeeper! You are in charge of the food, and we are all at ease. Are you right?!" Davers said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Yes! Mercis manages the camp very well!" Antonios responded.

"That's a bit more expensive!" Epitanius shouted in amusement.

"Even if you get one for free, you can't use it in a hurry! You are only interested in boys!" Mercis countered immediately.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the big tent was much easier.

"Philips, do you have anything to add?" Daveus finally asked his adjutant.

Compared with his much younger leader, Philius was still a bit unnatural. He coughed twice and said, "I have two problems, I hope to attract the attention of the leader. First, since we are about to go to war with Persia, Will the route of the next march change? If so, how should we go? The second is... Um... our barracks have been serving as the guards of the whole army. Now we have to fight, and if we serve as guards, our battalion will suffer too much. Now!"

"Philieus is right, we can no longer be guards!"

"Please rest assured that I will come up at the military meeting of the leaders and will strive to reason! As for the question of the marching route, I think it will be determined soon at the meeting of the leaders, because this is the most important issue! "Daveus' confident words made the team members doubtful.

……………………………

At the end of the meeting, as soon as the big account was released, Epiphanis, the first squadron leader of the Light Shield, couldn't help but marvel: "I can't believe this young man was the leader for the first time!"

"Don't look at his young age, the arrangements are not only meticulous, but also very organized, and actually very majestic. None of us veteran veterans actually got up to confront and refute him!" Another light shield squadron leader Zpitt said in awe.

"I think this young man is good! At least the atmosphere of the meeting is very good. Unlike Mellon, that is a viper, which meeting does not train everyone!" Heavy infantry captain Lacey Marcus said with a grin.

"If this little guy has such a wonderful performance on the battlefield, his leader is qualified!" Another heavy infantry squadron leader Amintas reminded everyone.

"Relax, although this new leader is young, he is a smart man. With Felix assisting beside him, there will be no major problems." Alexis, the heavy infantry squadron leader, comforted.

"We are afraid of fighting for anything! Davis only needs to play the role of his lord, and we can reduce casualties and go home safely!" Citt said loudly, and everyone even claimed to be.

Capps, who followed, said to Antonios with relief: "It seems that Davis has initially won everyone's approval."

Antonios was also immersed in what he saw at the meeting and muttered: "He still needs to prove himself in battle, but I have confidence in him! He will become an amazing mercenary leader!"

……………………………

Daphes stood at the door, watching the crowd leave calmly.At this moment, he was not thinking about his first show as a leader, but was considering the issue of army management.

The military system of the Greek mercenaries is roughly the same as that of the Greek city-states: the lowest-ranking officers are small captains with ten men; the squadron captains up to one hundred to 120 men; sometimes there are sub-captains, Under the jurisdiction of about 50 people; further up is the captain, under the jurisdiction of about 1,000 people; further up is the general, the number of soldiers under the general is determined by the number of troops his city can send.According to the principle, Daves' rank at this time should be regarded as the captain, but the mercenary can have thousands of soldiers, even if it is a large mercenary regiment, because it can independently undertake combat missions, so it is barely a general.

In his previous life, Davers graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, but he has studied management. He knows that the most effective number for a leader to directly manage is seven, and now a military conference has 14 squadron leaders to participate. Bing conveys an instruction, wouldn't it delay the time and move slowly?If these squadrons can be integrated again... Daphes knows that he can only think about it now. After all, he has just become the leader and he hastily reformed the military system. I am afraid it will arouse the team officers' resentment.He suppressed the idea and turned to Melses, who was still in the tent, and said, "They are all gone. Just tell me anything?"
