Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After only a few moments, Henipolis wrote the letter to the Senate and gave it to Daphes.

After reading it, Davies was satisfied, and he did not change the word. He signed his name at the end, stamped it, and handed it back to Henipolis: "Sent to the Senate according to the highest level of confidential letters."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Henipolis immediately and skillfully rolled the letter, tied both ends and middle of the paper roll with three red ropes, and then wrote the second letter.

At this time, the captain of the palace guard Maltius entered the big account: "Your Majesty, the mid-flight commander of the Third Fleet, Midolades, is waiting for your summons outside the account."

"Oh, Midolades is here." Daveus hurriedly waved and said, "Let him come in."

After Midolades entered the account, he performed a military salute and said aloud, "Your Majesty, I am late to come back."

"You came at the right time!" Daveus said in a pun. "Your fleet and fleet infantry are about to come in handy!"

Midolades was excited when he heard this.He had just led the fleet back to Latium, and he had heard that during the short period of time he left, the army led by King Davers took Rome as the center and attacked Vie and Casellera northward; Conquered Fidene and Krustaum to the east; captured Gabi to the south, and forced many Latin city-states, drove the Roman army to the small towns to the west by the sea, and they are stepping up their efforts Siege...

The news gave him a terrible feeling that the Third Fleet was out of this war, completely irrelevant, so when he heard Devers' words, he felt refreshed.

"Have all your infantry fleets been recruited?" asked Daphes.

"It's all done, just..." Midolades said cautiously: "It's just that the call to order was issued, not only Trina, but also the citizens of the towns of Siliting and Hebrian. Rushed to the naval base, actively signed up, and found a lot of acquaintances to intercede... so... so I recruited 2,000 more people..."

Daveus stared at him solemnly.

Midoladeston's heart tightened.

Daveus said slowly: "If you make more moves, you can make more moves, but this time the newly added fleet infantry establishment, the total establishment of the third fleet fleet infantry should be 4,000. This is already an exception for the military department. The number of people who come out must be disbanded after the war, remember not to be an example!"

Midolades hurriedly stated: "Your Majesty, please be assured that as soon as the war is over, I will disband all the extra fleet soldiers!"

Davies smiled slightly: "You... this is robbing the source of the Sixth Army. Beware of Trotila (Sixth Army Commander). I want to work hard with you!"

Midolades was relieved when he heard a joke from Daveus, and said jokingly: "In order to let Trotila down, I will hold more banquets for him and intoxicate him. "The barracks of the Sixth Legion are to the west of Siliting, and the naval base of the Third Fleet is in the bay near Trina. The two are not far apart, and there are usually many exchanges. Midolades and Trotilas The relationship is not bad, so he is not worried that the other party will blame himself.

"Midolades." Tormid said suddenly: "Now the Third Fleet Fleet Infantry has a strength of 4,000. We will prepare supplements for your subordinate Fleet Infantry according to this structure and supplement them with other materials. 2000 people, you have to find your own way."

what?!Midolades thought that Tormid was kidding, but when he saw his face seriously, he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, when he recruited soldiers this time, he really did have selfish intentions. At the hint of Daveus, Midolades was given a small warning.

But for Midolades, it would be difficult for him to come up with a supply of 2,000 people. He could only look at Davos with help.

Daphes took the opportunity to take the lead and said rightly: "If you want to solve the supply of these two thousand more people, then you can only do your best to complete the tasks given to you."

"Your Majesty, my brothers and I of the Third Fleet are ready, and no matter how difficult the task will be successfully completed!" Midolades said immediately.

Since Hippopolis was writing a letter, Croto Catax took his place. He knew Daphes’ plan, so he found the map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table case.

Daveus led Midolades to the table.

Midolades looked down: before him was a map with Corsica and Sardinia.

"How much do you know about Corsica?" Daves asked.

Midolades had already thought about it. He thought about it carefully before saying: "Corsica is called a giant mountain in the sea by the sailors. The island is almost full of high mountains and is not suitable for living at all. Only in the east of the island are two small coastal flats with two towns. The town of mariana in the north belongs to the Etruscans and the town of aleria in the south belongs to the Philippines. Nikki. In addition, there are some small Phoenician villages on the west coast, but the offshore coast of the west coast is densely covered, the coast is tortuous, and the landing of warships will be more difficult... Your majesty, you want the third fleet to attack the branch. Sika?"

Daveus nodded and looked at the map and said: "Accurately, it was for the Third Fleet to attack the Phoenician towns and settlements on Corsica. The reason why Carthage was able to become the most prosperous in the Western Mediterranean, The richest city-state, the most important reason is that it controls most of the precious metal resources and trade in the entire Western Mediterranean, the Iberian Peninsula, the Gaul region, the Etruscan region, and Sardinia and Corsi Jia, especially Sardinia and Corsica, are completely under the control of Carthage. Since Carthage dared to declare war with us Dionysia, then we will destroy this important source of trade one by one, Let its treasury no longer be full, unable to support the long war with us.

Therefore, the first attack target of the Third Fleet is to destroy all Phoenician settlements on Corsica.Don’t underestimate the small size of these settlements and the small number of people, but the silver, iron, copper and other metal minerals on Corsica are excavated, smelted, manufactured and finally transported to Carthage through them. The entire west coast The Phoenician settlements have formed a complete metal smelting system with each other.So your third fleet will occupy these settlements and arrest all the Phoenicians..."

"Also, try not to damage the Phoenician metal mines and smelting facilities!" Daveus emphasized.

After hearing this, Midolades solemnly said: "Your Majesty, the Third Fleet will eliminate all difficulties and complete this task."

"Not only to complete, but also to complete as soon as possible! Of course, be careful of the attacks of the warships of Carthage stationed in Sardinia and Corsica.

"Yes!" Daveus's harsh words gave Midolades a heart, as the naval commander responsible for defending the west coast of Dionia, of course he was in the situation of Sardinia and Corsica on the west side of the west coast. After a more detailed understanding: Before the war, Carthage sent no more than 30 three-layer plasma warships to these two islands, and it was mainly scattered in several towns and ports in Sardinia, probably because of its strength. Weakness, during the period of the Dionysian army expedition to Rome, they did not come out to make trouble, so Midolades did not pay attention to them, but Daveus's warning made him have to pay attention.

Daveus pressed the Alenia icon on the map with his hand and asked again: "Alena is a Phoenician town, but do you think the name does not match Phoenician Taiji people's habit of giving names to towns?"

"Is it once a town belonging to the Greeks?" Midolades repeatedly chanted the town's name, and then asked in a slightly surprised way. In fact, this was just an expression that was deliberately displayed in response to Daveus. As a general Dionysia who stretched across the sea, he did not care about the past history of the town.

"You're right, but Alenia was never just a Greek city-state, and logically speaking, he should be a town belonging to Dionia!" Henripolis interjected, and he had finished writing to The letter from Alexis and Zantiparis just heard this conversation, and the apprentice of the historian Ansitanos immediately became interested in teaching.

"Alenia should belong to Dionia?!" Midolades was really surprised.

"During the Great Colonial era, we Greeks colonized the Western Mediterranean, not only established Agrigento and Syracuse in Sicily; established Tarantum and Subari in Greater Greece; established in Gaul Marcelia; Naples and Courmayeur in Campania; Alenia on Corsica...

But Etruria, the owner of Northern Italy at that time, was frightened by the surging Greeks. They may think that if they do not stop the crazy colonial behavior of the Greeks, then the Etruscans will probably be in our Greece. Surrounded by the colonial city.As a result, they united Carthage, who had established a firm foothold in Sardinia, and fought against the Greek city-states of Alenia, Masseria, and Campania.

The most important battle was a naval battle near Alenia. As a result, the Greeks suffered a fiasco. Not only did Alenia be captured by the Carthaginians, but they did not dare to colonize northern Italy for hundreds of years. ..."

Henipolis said eloquently, not only that Midolades listened carefully, but also Tolmed and Crotocatax listened with interest.
