Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Yes, sir."

"Masims!" A middle-aged man in white robe walked towards this side.

"Kopanes." Massims smiled immediately after seeing the person coming: "Just after the battle yesterday, you were not in the medical camp to treat the wounded soldiers, ran here to hang out, not afraid of Haas Lord Drogba's criticism."

"There were not many casualties in the battle yesterday, and the injuries were not serious. It only takes one doctor and two nurses to deal with it, and I don’t need me to personally treat it. I stayed in the medical camp for a long time, and I came out today. Breathable, take care of the trained soldiers by the way. The commander of the Hasdrubal Army saw it, and praised me for being very responsible." Kopanis said quite complacently.

According to the requirements of the current Ministry of Military Affairs, the head of the corps medical and nursing battalion must be a doctor who has graduated from the Dionysia Academy Medical School, has been in the medical profession for more than ten years, and has rich experience in emergency treatment.But because the Border Corps is looking forward to the northern border of Etruria, it is always in danger. Unlike regular legions, as long as the war is over, medical personnel can go home, and the military training usually does not call them. Therefore, for these Dionysian senior doctors who have already established a family and have a good life, they are basically reluctant to serve as the head of the border corps health care battalion.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs had to reduce the qualifications of the head of the border corps medical battalion, and was prepared to take a six-month rotation, so there were not many doctors enrolled.Kopanis graduated from the college but did not take medicine for 5 years and was under 30 years old. The reason why he was selected by the military department is that besides his medical skills, his willingness to work in the Border Corps for a long time is an important reason. .

Because he was young, he occasionally did some extraordinary things, but because he led the medical staff to do a lot of things in the past year, everyone has tolerated this.

Maximus smiled and said nothing.

Kopanis smiled and said in a straight voice: "Yesterday I received a message from Pisai. In a few days, Rome will ship a batch of herbs, bandages... and other medical supplies. I need a pack to arrive Go to Pishai port."

A Legion of Dionysian generally has a relatively large pack, it has 300-500 labor force, 150-200 pack animals such as cattle, horses, and donkeys, and 80-150 pack cars.It seems that there are a lot of numbers, but every time the legion marches, there are a lot of materials that need to be transported in the battalion, engineering battalion, and medical care battalion. In fact, the transportation capacity is relatively tight.Since the junior battalion occupies the bulk of the transportation and has more transportation tasks, and the junior officer has more management skills than medical directors and engineering directors, in order to facilitate management and command, before the Western Mediterranean War, the Ministry of Military Affairs had made regulations: Legion Pack The team is assigned to the junior battalion, which is managed by the junior officer. The engineering battalion and medical care battalion have transportation needs, and the junior officer must arrange for the solution.

So Maximus asked directly: "How many medical supplies are there?"

"Probably one ton... well, maybe two tons..." Kopanis stuttered. "You know, the medical camp has been here for more than a year, and its supplies have been replenished once, but often Wounded soldiers... Now the herbs and bandages are almost used up—"

"How many supplies are there! I can't remember, just give an approximate number." Massims said angrily. After spending a year with this young man, he knew that this guy was not sensitive to numbers.

Now Kopanis speaks smoothly: "I heard that two cargo ships are coming."

After thinking about it for a moment, Maxim said, "I'll send you thirty pack cars, but for safety, I have to apply to the Hasdrubardians for a company as an escort."

"What should I apply for?" I don't know when Hasdrubal has come to them.

Massims and Kopanis immediately explained the situation to Hasdrubal.

Hasdrubah nodded his answer, then asked again: "Masims, did the Etruscans promise to deliver the military supplies to us every year?"

Massim immediately explained the situation to him again.

Hasdrubal frowned immediately: "This is not enough, you must step up and urge them to let them bring the food as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Legion!" After Sims responded loudly, he asked softly with a slight suspicion: "Is there anything wrong?"

Hasdrubba hesitated, and finally decided to speak out his own speculation to alert them: "Autumn is the harvest season and the time when the indigenous people looted. According to the Etruscans, In the past, the Gauls were most rampant at this time, but this year, the Gauls' invasion has decreased, which seems a bit abnormal.

These days, the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Squad came back and reported that the Gaul tribes in the mountains to the north and our neighbors suddenly moved northward. They wanted to go further north to investigate, but the Gauls increased their vigilance there. With the manpower, several investigating soldiers were killed and injured, and no more information was obtained, but the situation is so abnormal. I am afraid it is not a good thing. We must be vigilant and prepare for defense!..."

After having a few words with the two subordinates, Hasdrubal ran to the heavy infantry and led the soldiers in training.

"Sir Hasdruba thought too much, maybe because our presence made the Gauls feel that the cost of looting here is too high, so they changed places." Kopanis said disapprovingly.

Massimus glanced at him seriously and said, "If this is the case, the Gauls will not be the most terrible enemy in the eyes of various tribes in northern Italy. Hurry and transport your supplies back, maybe next We will be busy..."

As a Roman who had personally experienced the Gaul's capture of his homeland, Massimus knew the horrors of the Gauls. Although he expected Hasdruba's intuition to be wrong, he told him that It can't be overemphasized.

It was almost dusk before Hasdrubal assembled his army and returned to the barracks with the afterglow of the setting sun.

The first thing the soldiers returned to the barracks was not to eat dinner, but to take a shower in the bathroom.At the time when the engineers selected the site for the military camp of the Border Corps, they specially chose a river next to it. During the construction, they specially buried ceramic pipes between the military camp and the river, which can directly drain the river water into the military camp. Some are used for bathing.

The regiment’s mansion is next to the headquarters of the military camp. It has a large area, with its own exclusive kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, second bedroom, slave dormitory, stable, and small private bathroom...It can be said that it is a comparison Luxury is mainly because the Ministry of Military Affairs allows the family members of the regiment to follow the army, so it will inevitably follow some slaves.

But in fact, Hasdrubal stayed here for more than a year, never let his wife and children come to the military camp for a period of time, so usually only two servants take care of his daily life, and even eat mostly in the collective restaurant.In order not to waste the mansion, he also allowed the adjutant and several senior military officers to live in.From time to time, he would go hunting in the mountains. If there were a lot of prey, he would hold a small banquet in the mansion and invite the subordinates and middle and senior team officers to participate.

But today, there are only two people in the restaurant of the mansion-Hasdruba and his adjutant Kisgo.

Even though Kisgo is also a member of the Margonide family, he once led an army of tens of thousands of people alone, but it was not easy to become an adjutant of the Dionysian Army, because according to the military law: the army The deputy officer is an intermediate officer, must have more than 5 years of service experience, participated in at least one war, served as a squad leader, squad leader, or even company leader, and then studied in the military department staff for one year before becoming a corps deputy officer.It was only because of Hasdrubal’s perseverance and the special approval of Daveus that Kisgo became a lieutenant of the Etruscan Border Corps after several months of special training.

At this time, Hasdruba was reading the letter, and he looked up in amazement: "Carthage and Dionysia are allied?!"

"It is not an equal alliance, but Carthage is based on Dionysia!" Kisgo reminded.

"Ah?!" Hasdruba froze, then a little more anger on his face: "Last year, I heard Haka talk about this in Turrii. After Okritton returned, the Carthage senate has not In response, I thought they had become tough this time, but I didn't expect... to be weaker than before! It was a shame on our Carthaginians!"

"I heard Dido say that the reason why Carthage will agree this time is that the 17th Corps sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs (the military camp is in Lili Peng, and the source of the troops is from the western part of Sicily) has easily eliminated the rebellious Marsili tribe. , All the captives of their tribes were reduced to slaves, and all their land was distributed to other tribes in West Numbia... The Carthage senate must be terrified, fearing that they would become the second Masili, so Actively demand an alliance with Dionia—"

"Greedy is afraid of death!" Hasdrubal sneered coldly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "How did Carthage deal with Hano and Tappanac?"

"According to our request, we were expelled from Carthage!"

"It's just eviction, it's too cheap for these damn guys!" Hasdruba was not satisfied with this, and he immediately asked again: "What did Dido know about this news?"

In the past, in southern Iberia, Hasdruba was busy fighting for a day, and had not met Dido for many years. Although the two were cousins, the relationship was not close until he led the army to station in Etruli. After the northern border between Asia and Asia, it was very close to Dido who lived in Rome. Because they were both in a foreign country, their kinship became precious. The two had increased contacts (mainly Dido provided help and support). Relationships are rapidly improved.
