Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Neapolitans have some knowledge of the Romans mentioned by the messengers of Walsey: Over the past decade, this fighting-based and resilient nation in the north of the Campania region has won numerous battles and expanded rapidly. The surrounding forces are very uneasy.However, there are still many forces between Naples and Rome. Walsi, Orange, Sidisini, and even the Cautini clan of Samone, so the Naples are not uneasy about Rome.

After deliberation of the members of the council, Chief General Orozius apologized to the Wallis messenger Metebola: "We really want to help you Wally, but now the Campania area is even more important Things that worry us so that we dare not disperse our power, so we can only say sorry to you!"

What Oroxius said was not perfunctory.In the past ten years, the Campania Alliance and the Samone have been at peace with each other, but in the past two years, the Samonais have started frequent conflicts with the surrounding Campania League city-states, although there has not been a major war. But it made the Campania League highly nervous. They were always vigilant and prepared to deal with the war that might break out at any time.

The emissary of Walsey showed disappointment and frustration, and he was preparing to continue to plead.

Orozius said abruptly: "Although we cannot help you, there is a strong country in Italy. As long as they are willing to lend a helping hand, you can fully guarantee the safety of your Walsey!"

The Walsey messenger jumped inwardly, and a name immediately popped into his mind.

Just listen to Oroxius's accented voice: "Dionysia! Only Dionysia can prevent Rome from violating Walsey!"

really!Meteora breathed a sigh of relief, which was exactly what the Walseys wanted to hear, and of course they knew that the Dionysian kingdom with the whole of southern Italy was probably the strongest in Italy except the Celtics in the north. It is certainly not a problem for the great forces to deter Rome, but he said with difficulty: "But we have no contact between Walsey and Dionia..."

Oroxius said sincerely: "Naples and Dionysia are allies, and we are willing to recommend you Walsey to Dionysia!"

The emissary of Walsey was overjoyed and immediately thanked the Napoli Council.

After a day's rest in the city, he followed the messenger Mittides sent by Naples and sailed south.

…………………………………

At this time, at the end of September, a drought was raging in southern Italy. The Southern Italian territory of the Kingdom of Dionynia suffered a large amount of poor harvests. The Kingdom was mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources to help the disaster relief.

Inside the Dionysian palace, Daphes had just approved the order to increase the punishment of several Carthage merchants.

After the Senate has promulgated the decree "No businessmen can raise food prices in the country and disturb market order, or severely punish no loans", these Carthage merchants united some of the grains in the city in the market of Lockley City. The business spread rumors and ran against the temporarily opened grain shop of the city hall, causing panic among the people.In the end, they were arrested by the inspection team, and everyone else was severely punished, only because these Carthage merchants had an extraordinary background, and one of them even came from the Hanno family. The inspection department was worried that the punishment would cause serious dissatisfaction with the Carthage. , So I asked Davers for instructions.

Davers himself actually has concerns in this regard, but he knows that under such a critical situation, if the order is prohibited, then the Gentiles will learn and behave unscrupulously, and domestic businessmen will also participate, so they must Severe punishment and no punishment, especially with caution.

So, Daphes signed the order and asked Aristilas to send it away immediately.

Daveus leaned on the wooden chair and stretched a lazy waist.

During this time, due to the Kingdom's handling of drought issues, the requests and letters sent from various cities piled up, which made Davers hardly have enough rest time. He also felt tired because he claimed to be energetic.

He closed his eyes, but instead of resting, he was conceiving: recruiting the rotating chairpersons of the five elders to establish a drought management committee, and they would do the specific affairs of their own affairs, and they would only be responsible for supervision and control.In this way, not only will you save your energy, but perhaps the efficiency will be greatly improved...

The more he thought about it, the better it was. He was preparing to let Aristilas go to the senate and call the five veterans together, but he was informed by the guards: Foreign Minister Ansitanos asked for advice.

Since the Senate passed the bill proposed by Davers to "give seniors high salaries while prohibiting elders from accepting gifts", Daves proposed the establishment of the Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that foreign ministers could be directly transferred Conducting a special reception reduces their blind contact with other elders, and also guarantees safety and prevents the elders from making mistakes again.At the same time, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is possible to train more professional and experienced diplomatic personnel and create a more favorable external environment for Dionia.And the first foreign minister, Davers appointed Ansitanos.

Ansitanos has completed the administrative structure and personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than a year, and the work has been fruitful.

What is the reason why he came to the palace today?Daphes speculated in his heart that he did not expect Ansitanos to surprise him.

"Are you saying that the Walseys turned to us for help?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ansitanos said seriously: "The Romans are invading Walsey's territory. They can't resist and have to ask us for help under the guidance of the Naples."

"Then arrange an interview." Daphes replied without hesitation.When he received the message that the "Walsey organized coalition was defeated by the Roman army led by Camillus", he had realized that the Walsh were in great trouble.

"Your Majesty, there is another happy event."

"Oh?"

Said it was a happy event, but Ancitanos did not have a happy face, but said in a straight color: "The Naples messenger who accompanied the Walsi people said,'Knowing that we are suffering from drought, as the Confederate Campa The Nyah League is willing to donate a large amount of grain for free to help us through the difficulties.'... However, he hopes that we can restrain the Samonais and stop intruding their people."

"Restrain the Samonais?!" Daveus said a little bit abruptly: "The Neapolitans spoke lightly, but how are the Samonais so restrained. Since we firmly supported Abenerum, this Several races of Samoney are less and less greeted."

"Fortunately, they feared our strength and did not dare to be too chaotic..." Ansitanos looked at Daphes and asked softly: "Then...reject the request of the Naples?"

"No! The Samonais now think they have recovered their strength..." Daveus shook his head and sneered. "But it is because we have been busy stabilizing the situation in the Downey area for the past two years. The situation in Nigeria is stable, so... Ansitanos, in response to the request of the Neapolitan messenger, sent people to question the Samones,'Why have they repeatedly violated the covenant and violated the Dionysian allies?!' Mind let them taste the power of the Dionysian Legion again.

In addition...Kuini's Nuceria chief Quinn Duc did not hint before that he would send a team to participate in this year's rugby match?Let Enona strengthen the envelopment of the tribes in the southwestern region of Kaoutini, so that they will fall completely to our side!"

"Your Majesty, in this way, it is likely to cause the Samonaite to fight against us!" Ansitanos said worriedly.

Davers firmly said: "Samonet, as our ally, has ignored our repeated warnings and repeatedly invaded the people and land of our other ally. It has violated the covenant, which shows that they have a heart of renegade. !If we do not stop this kind of bad behavior, if we continue to do so, it will not only reduce the prestige of our Kingdom of Dionysia, but also reduce the trust of our allies, we must give a powerful response!"

"Your Majesty, but now we are facing famine, I am afraid there is no extra food to support the army's expedition!" Ansitanos reminded.

Davers smiled slightly: "We are not, but the Campania League has it. We help the Campania League solve the problem of Samoney. They should not be stingy with their own food, which can also help us reduce a little domestically. Food pressure. And I heard that the central and southern parts of Hilpini were equally affected by disasters, and I just took this opportunity to completely weaken it!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand. I will go to discuss this with the Neapolitan messenger." Ansitano responded helplessly.

……………………………

The ambassador of Walsey, Metebola, followed the Naples to land at the port of Laos and travelled for three days all the way to Turui. He was immediately shocked by the prosperity and immenseness of the city, and he began to believe firmly: Only this way A strong country can help them drive away the vicious Romans.

When he was notified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that "King Daveus was ready to meet him", Metabola had been wondering how to persuade the king of this powerful kingdom to reach out to Wallsea.

The next day, Meteora walked into the palace of Dionia.

Important officials of the kingdom are already standing on both sides of the palace’s spacious hall, and King Daveus wears a garnet crown made of pure gold, wears a luxurious red pattern with black background and sits in a leather chair above two steps. Therefore, it is much higher than the people around it, which shows the majesty of the king.

For the first time, Metabola was faced with such a solemn situation, and his heart was inevitably nervous. Somewhat cramped before the steps. After the respectful salute, he said with a slightly trembling voice: "Honor... King Dionia, I am Metebola, the messenger from Walsey. I brought... the most sincere greetings from the people of Walsey to you and your citizens! I heard that your country is suffering from drought, and we are willing to donate for free A batch of grains to express our friendly wishes!"
