Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Masims!...Masims!..." cried from behind.

Massim turned blankly, and the person who called him was Gorgion.

Massimus was surprised. Although he frequently entered and exited the street tavern for more than ten days, he knew this well-known Gorgion, but he did not think that he was familiar enough to allow the other party to chase it out and concern himself.

With vigilance, Masim asked indifferently: "Is something wrong?"

Gorgion came to him and said seriously: "I want to talk to you about your job search."

Massim is not a diaspora who has no money in his hometown and travels across the ocean to Dionia to seek a better life. He was a nobleman of Rome. He has not only many years of government experience, but also participated in many times. War, if it were not for the conquest of Rome, it would take almost no time for him to enter the Roman senate steadily, and his political experience was relatively rich. When he saw Gorgioon entering the tavern, he always felt that this person was interested. Inadvertently leading the diners to argue and spread some news... This approach reminded him of some fooling people's routines of the Roman elders, so he thought that Gorgion was not simple, and he did not talk too much to him. contact.

At this time, Gorgion's active contact made him more alert, and immediately refused: "I'm sorry, I have to hurry home now, there is no time."

Gorgion raised his eyebrows, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he returned to calm. He said unhurriedly: "5 days ago, you suffered a Roman If the attack was not arrived by the patrol in time and arrested the gangster, you may still be lying in the hospital for treatment."

In order not to worry about the family, Massimus said nothing to everyone, but unexpectedly he was spoken by Gorgion, and his face immediately changed: "How do you know?"

Gorgion smiled coldly: "Do you think the inspection team happened to be there? You probably don't know yet, just yesterday your little son was playing by the pool in the middle of the building you rented, if not somebody Stop, I'm afraid it has already been taken away by a Roman... now do you have time to talk to me?"

Masim's face changed greatly. He did not expect that the Romans who hated his "treason" had targeted his family members. He almost wanted to rush to his family immediately, but he suppressed this. Impulsively, looking directly at the person in front of him, Shen Sheng asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Gorgion converged with a slightly ironic smile on his face, and the temperament of the whole person suddenly changed. He said solemnly: "Re-introduction, my name is Gorgion, for the intelligence service in the Kingdom of Dionia jobs!"

The Department of Intelligence of the Kingdom of Dionysia?… Hearing this term, Maximus instinctively produced a fear, which was the result of being interrogated by them overnight in the slave camp. He subconsciously took a step back and whispered: "You... What are you talking about?"

Gorgion glanced at his receding foot, as if seeing through his mind, and looked at him sharply, and said softly: "You should be very clear, your report has attracted some Romans to you Resentment, you and your family have become the targets of their revenge. The reason why they are safe and safe until now is because of the secret protection of our intelligence department, but this protection is not indefinite!"

Massimus stared at him, but his eyes showed a little weakness. He heard the threat of Gorgion's words, but Gorgion's words also said what he was most worried about.

Gorgion, however, moved to another topic casually: "Master Tratus, the head of the intelligence department of Turiri, once wanted you to join us, but you refused. There is a better way to go, but now?

Maybe you have the patience to work hard in the kingdom for more than 10 years to obtain the qualification of a full citizen?Or you can settle in the southern part of Iberia, but that place is not very stable. When the indigenous people attack, can you safely escape with your wife and children?Or did you finally decide to leave the kingdom and live in other unfamiliar places?..."

Every sentence of Gorgion was hitting the psychological defense of Massimus, making his eyes flash, and half a loud voice squeezed out a sentence: "...What are you trying to say?"

"Join us!" Gorgion's voice was not loud, but he thundered.

In the past, Rome did not have an intelligence agency, but many nobles had a group of diners who were responsible for listening to privacy, inciting the people, and snatching the people’s land in a shady way... etc., doing some dirty things, so Massimus It is believed that the intelligence department of the Kingdom of Dionysia is also doing such a humble job. Of course, he was disdainful from the noble background, but now he seems to be in a desperate situation.

Masim's face was uncertain, hesitantly struggling for a while, and said tentatively: "...What's the benefit of joining you? Can I become a formal citizen as soon as possible?"

Gorgion said rightly: "Even if our intelligence service directly serves His Majesty Daphes, it is impossible to be a full citizen directly under the restrictions of the Dionysian Law, but we have More meritorious opportunities will enable you to become a formal citizen faster—"

"I remember that you don't seem to be a full citizen yet," Masim said slightly mockingly.

Gorgion smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm just there, because of the need for official business, I deliberately made the diners in the taver think so."

"So, you are an Epirus and came to Dionia five years ago...is this information false?"

"These are true, but shortly after I arrived in Dionia, I joined the intelligence service and was ordered to carry out the mission to the Brindisi naval base in Puchti, and came from Epirus and Peloponnese. During the invasion, the fugitives in the former Apria region of the Saskatchewan won their trust and acted as guides. In fact, they secretly told each of the ninth legions of their marching route, which eventually led to their destruction. Great achievement, two years later, he became a full-time citizen, and he was transferred back to Turri...

Gorgion said proudly: "Despite looking at our intelligence services, it seems to be inconspicuous. In fact, it is very important. Once something important happens, let alone the city chief, even the wartime governor and military commander We have to take the initiative to ask for help from our intelligence directors in various regions, and their merits and achievements have our credit. As His Majesty Dapheus said, we are the heroes of the kingdom hidden in the dark, dedicated guards The safety of the kingdom!..."

Seeing Maximus sinking into contemplation, Gorgion continued to strike while ironing: "Not to mention that you joined the intelligence service. Although you are not a citizen, you have become one of us, and your family will get our full support. Protection. Your life will also be greatly improved, because you may perform tasks externally and receive double pay..."

Massimos listened, so he had a hard time making a decision. He hesitated and said, "Let me go back and think about it..."

Gorgion saw that he was a little emotional, and then said another sentence: "You better make a decision as soon as possible, because the arrest of the conspiracy to assassinate His Majesty King Davers is almost over, and our protection of your home It's almost over."

When Maximus heard it, he was anxious and blurted out: "I...I...I decided to join you."

Gorgion smiled triumphantly: "This is a wise choice! Tomorrow morning, we will report to the white courtyard next to the inspection station in the West Outer Town!"

……………………………………………

Also on this evening, one of the five rotating chairmen of the senate, the newly retired Turriy Chief Lucias, welcomed a distinguished guest, the Chief Executive of Katana Milong (Milon is (The chief executive of Katanay, who took over after Cypros was transferred to Turri, just returned from his term of office).

At that time, Lucias and Milon were a pair of political enemies in Crotone. For their own interests, they fought fiercely. Later, Lucias won and Milon was expelled from Crotone by the civic assembly. At that time he hated Lucias very much in his heart.It was not until Dionysius led the army of Syracuse that invaded Great Greece that Milon was recalled to Crotone.

For the survival of the city-state, the two temporarily relieved their previous suspicions and worked together until after Crotone's merger into the Kingdom of Dionysia, the two had no conflict of interest, but because they were also born in Crotone. Asian elders, in the strange Dionysia politics, they need to support each other, so the hostile relationship between the two finally improved, and after more than 10 years of contact, two Crotones with different personalities and former enemies People eventually became friends.

"Milon, are you coming tonight, aren't you worried about your job tomorrow?" Lucias asked with a smile.

"Is there anything to worry about the job report? Katane has developed more prosperously in recent years, and the elders will not know that I have a lot of credit!" Milon was quite confident and said straightforwardly: "OK Don’t pretend, you know why I came to see you here tonight! The Chief Executive! I want to be the Chief Executive of the East and West Sicily, and I need your support!"

"The Chief Executive of the East-West Sicily Region..." Lucias was not surprised. He touched his chin and pondered, "It really does not belong to the Chief Executives of those areas that His Majesty needs to personally designate (Daveus in Today’s meeting of the Senate stated,'Since southern Iberia, Rome, and western Sicily are located on the border of the kingdom, the situation is more complicated. For the safety and stability of the kingdom, he must personally determine the regional chief’s In addition to the candidates, the candidates for the chief executives of other regions are all freely elected by the elders, and he does not interfere in any way.' In fact, Davos exchanged the passing of the other three resolutions with the rights and interests of the elected regional chief executives. What he envisioned), and since you have served as the chief executive of Naxos, you have many years of experience as chief executive, and your political performance is also good, especially in the last war. The situation is already very familiar. It stands to reason that if you want to be elected as the chief executive of the East and West Sicily, it should be no problem..."
