Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daphes continued to say slowly: "And during this landing period, soldiers, labor, supplies... will be quite chaotic, lack of organization, Dionysius will not dare to take a huge risk to land elsewhere , It is only possible to land at the port of his ally Lockley. Then, after receiving the news of Syracuse’s attack from the military department, we can send our 4th and 5th Corps quickly to Kaurnia and other allies for reinforcements Converge, use the narrow terrain of Kaurenia and the Ramato River south of Trina to build a strong camp to defend against the enemy's attack, delay the time, waiting for me to defeat the Samonais, and then lead the main return, with the tin Rakuza had a decisive battle.

In order to facilitate the unified command of the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps, I will let Lord Felius serve as the commander of the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps and be responsible for the war in the south."

Daveus chose Philius because he was older and had been in charge of military affairs. He was able to let the stubborn Drakos and the escaped Epitanius listen to him, but he was not strong enough. I am afraid that sometimes it will be influenced by the opinions of the subordinates.But this is also no way. The army generals have stronger capabilities, that is, the heads of the fourth and fifth legions are not weak, but they have the same qualifications as Drakos and Epitanes, such as Capps. , Antonios, etc., or their qualifications are lower than them, such as Hilos, etc., and they are suddenly put in position. I am afraid that the two army commanders will not accept it, but will affect the battle.

The veterans seriously considered Davers’ plan of “defense first and then counterattack”. Most of them thought it was feasible. After all, they were very confident in Davers’ military command capabilities. Rakuza has a decisive battle, so the odds are great.At the same time, they also approve of the candidate of the commander who was temporarily responsible for the southern military proposed by Davis, because Felix has always been kind to people in the senate, and everyone has a good impression of him.The veterans of the legion also had no objections, and Philius had some abilities.

"So who will take over the chief executive of Cosenza? Or will Felius be part-time?" Cornelius asked, because at this time Philius was still the chief executive of Cosenza.

There is a precedent of "simultaneously serving as chief executive and military chief". Hilos once served as chief executive of Asprostum and chief of the Fourth Army after the Second Crotone War. The same goes for Rumtum's Bagule.

But Davers said: "The battle against Syracuse determines the life and death of the alliance. It is the most important thing and must go all out! The Chief Executive of Cosenza can only find someone to take over!"

Davis's eyes swept across the elders of the senate, and most of the non-legion veterans expressed their desire, especially the elders of Bruti.In fact, it can also be understood that there are now many cities in the Dionysian Union, but the most important are three: Turiri, which is the center of the Dionysian Union; Grummentum, Lukalia The largest city is also the hub of the northern part of the Union; Cosenza, the central city of the Bruti region.Although the chief executive level of each city is the same, the chief executives of these three cities are incomparably superior, and it is also a kind of honor.

Of course, Davies knew what the veterans were thinking, so he patiently explained: "Considering that once the war with Syracuse, the Bruti region and the Croton Plain will soon become the most Dionysian Close to the frontier areas of the battlefield, the chief executives of these areas need to cooperate with the military operations of the army to meet their operational needs, such as placing the wounded, providing new soldiers, transferring food load... etc. Therefore, a person with administrative experience, Also understand the veterans of the Legion, for the time being-"Daveus bite the word "temporarily" very hard, do not want to let some veterans too disappointed: "As the Chief Executive of Cosenza, my suggestion is that Hilos will temporarily serve Position."

Davis’s proposal was not opposed. Hilos’s outstanding performance in Asprostum was obvious to everyone. Only Petaru, Kadulke and others showed disappointment, and since Pollux After Sis and others were tried, the veterans who opposed Davis’ proposal were much younger, so they were approved.

At this time, Hilos, who had just been appointed, asked: "Master, I will go to Cosenza to take office, so who will take over my current job?"

"Sir Hiromus, I hope you can temporarily serve as a quartermaster." The affairs of the army are determined by Daveus. Others can't intervene, and Daveus has long thought about the candidate, after all When the war begins, military training will naturally stop.

"Okay." Hironimos replied gently.

Although he did not have a ferocious expression, Daphes was very relieved. He knew that Hironimos, unlike Draco, who was stubborn and only wanted to command operations, Hironimos was quiet, but he was serious and pragmatic, as long as he was respected In the space where his talents are exerted, he can accomplish very well silently.

However, considering that this is a big war, the pressure on the logistics of the military needs will be very large, and Davis still wants to find a helper for him: "Mersis, you have to help Syronimus more!"

Mercis immediately called out the bitterness: "I'm too busy with my own responsibility, so many cities' taxation..." Faced with Davos's dull gaze, his voice gradually weakened, and then helpless Shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, I will try my best."

Daphes then asked, "Master Sironimus, how many Legion reserve soldiers are there in Turiri and Amendolara?"

"There are about twenty-two hundred people." Shironimus was very dedicated to his work and blurted out without thinking.

Daveus nodded, then looked at the crowd and said aloud: "Masters, I propose to establish two reserve legions in Turui. Once the war breaks out, you can use these two legions to defend our city and cope with the sudden Status."

"I have no objection." Kunogolata said.

"I agree." Cornelius also agreed.

Even these two veterans who were most opposed to the war all agreed, not to mention other veterans. The key is that after Daveus took the first and second legions away, the empty Turrii made them feel insecure. With two new legions, I felt much more at ease.

"Admiral, the number of new legion soldiers is sufficient, but they do not have uniform new legion weapons and equipment, and may not even have old-style equipment. You must know that these reserve soldiers are mostly reserved citizens and registered free citizens. I am afraid there is no So much money to buy." Shironimus reminded.

Daveus thought for a while and said, "You and Melsis called together several weapons merchants such as Tios and Legion Weapons Shop, as well as the administrator of the Cristoia Bank to discuss a feasible solution. To solve the problem of weapons and equipment of the new legionnaires and try to be unified."

"I see." Shironimus answered simply.

Mercis wailed: "It costs money again! It costs money again!"

At this point, Kunogolata said: "If the war with Syracuse breaks out, it will be a huge war, and all aspects will cost gold and silver, so I suggest that it can be replaced by the Senate The soldiers, reached an agreement with the arms merchants, temporarily letting the soldiers owe money to the arms merchants to buy weapons, and after the war, they will pay interest back to them... I believe that the credit of the Dionysian House is still worth the money of."

"Master Kunogolata, your suggestion is so good!" Mercis immediately rejoiced and said repeatedly: "As a citizen of Dionysian, these weapons merchants should do this for Dionysian. contribution!"

"I don't care how you solve the new army's weapons and equipment, but you must not force them, otherwise Trito de Mos will talk to you," Daveus reminded.

"Admiral Lord is right, citizens' property is protected by the laws of the Union, no one can infringe!" Trito de Mos warned.

Mercy's fat face piled with a smile, and said: "Relax, Master Judge. As a veteran and a noble among the citizens of Dionysia, how can I make such a mistake."

Daveus ignored him. He walked to the center of the venue, stood standing, looked around the crowd, and inspired with a passionate voice: "Masters, the Dionysian Union can have today's strength and strength in just a few years. Prosperity is inseparable from your efforts and dedication! Now, we have encountered the biggest test since the establishment of the alliance, Syracuse-this Greek city-state that has dominated the Western Mediterranean for 100 years is like a mountain blocking us. In front of Onia, we must not only stop us but also crush us! The elders of Dionysia, the elites of the citizens, the leaders of the people, we are willing to succumb to this mountain and be blamed by it Crushed? Or faced it bravely and turned it through hardships?!"

"Come over it and there will be a flat road in front of Dionia!"

"Defeat Syracuse, Dionia will no longer have a strong enemy in the Western Mediterranean!"

"Even if all citizens of Dionysia are shrinking their diets, they must defeat Syracuse!"

"Under the protection of Hades, no matter how great the difficulties can be overcome, even the most powerful enemies will eventually be defeated by us!"

...

The veterans, under the guidance of Daphes, and the enemy Kai, all expressed their willingness to fight Siracusa.

When the Senate of Dionysia received an urgent report from the Third Army, the situation in Potentia had changed: the Samones who were still gathering soldiers one after another suddenly allied themselves to the territory of Potentia An attack was launched.Since the chieftain Puamott has issued orders to "retreat into the city" to the tribes of Potentia, the Samones were not hindered by any obstacles, and they advanced quickly, and even some troops bypassed the waves. Tentia City, march south...
