Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Then inform the chief executives of these two towns and arrange as soon as possible the prestigious citizens of the kingdom of Mesenia to come to Turri and come to the palace to discuss how to rebuild Mesenia. Lord Lucias , You are responsible for arranging this matter."

Despite his opposition to the war of Dionysia’s involvement in Greece, Lucias did not dare to disobey the order issued by Daphes, and reluctantly replied somewhat: "Yes."

Daveus glanced at him, and then turned his attention to another person who has remained silent until now: "Plosuos, your ever-winning general of the kingdom, is also from Argos, and should be against Spa. Dar is relatively familiar with any suggestions for the next military action to be taken by the Kingdom?"

Leotichides was somewhat stunned, and then his expression became indifferent, saying, "Your Majesty, I have no opinion."

In Davos's impression, although Plossus was very quiet, he could become more vocal when he talked about military affairs, and he was quite insightful, but it was a bit abnormal today.

Daveus looked at him again and said, "When the meeting is over, you have to discuss with the military department, because this time you send troops to Greece, you will be the commander of the army."

General Alexis and other generals were not surprised when they heard the appointment: since His Majesty Dapheus had the first legion in the army designated to go to Greece, Plesous, who is the head of the first legion, must be the commander The best candidate for an official is only Alexis in today’s Dionysian army who can overwhelm Prosius in terms of record, qualifications, and multi-corps command ability. It’s just that as a minister of military affairs, he is generally It is impossible to come to the battle front in person.

As for Amintas, not to mention that he has now retired, and the Turui people have complained to him in recent years because of the excessive casualties of the First Army in the Western Mediterranean War.

As for the rising stars in the army, such as Patroclus, Sextus and others have their respective responsibilities, and there are the First Army in the ranks of the expedition, it is impossible for them to serve as commanders.

The ministers present felt that the appointment was taken for granted, but Leotichides hesitated a moment before answering: "...Yes."

Daveus glanced at him again, then stood up, his deep eyes slowly swept over everyone's face, and said solemnly: "You, since we have made it clear that we want to go to Greece, regardless of whether there is any disagreement in our hearts, How will the war situation in Greece develop next? You must all concentrate, work together, and carefully prepare for the next significant expedition!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

After the ministers had dispersed, Daves called the Minister of Intelligence, Aristilas (after Davers took advantage of the great dispute, reformed the Senate, and completely stripped the power of administrative resolution from the Senate, Soon after he established the Kingdom Intelligence Department, the Aristilas intelligence organization that originally quietly served him was completely and publicly transferred to the clear place. The highest-ranking intelligence chief ranks at the highest level of middle-level officials, and has not entered. Advanced, this is also a small compromise with Davis on other ministers).

"Recently, what happened to Prosius?" Daveus asked casually.

After thinking for a while, Aristilas replied: "Adult Prosius, like before, has a regular and monotonous life. There is nothing unusual... His family is also very peaceful."

"Um..." Davos tapped the table with his fingers, recalling the scene of the meeting just now, Prosius was obviously a little lost. He was the first time he saw this situation from this ever-winning general: " Send a few more people to watch me more carefully in the next period of time, it is best to be able to understand his diet, sleep, etc..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it now." Aristilas responded immediately.

"I'm going to go to Greece soon, but I can't make any mistakes..." Daveus murmured, and then looked up to Aristilas: "Is the situation of the Border Army recently paid off?"

"Yes." Aristilas had already prepared, and immediately pulled out two papyrus rolls from his arms, one of which was obviously thicker.

Daveus took the thick papyrus roll first, and did not open it immediately, but asked: "This one is from the Po River region (after the conquest of Gallo in Shane, the Kingdom of Dionysia was established here. The middle reaches of the Po River)?

"Yes."

Daveus was very interested in opening it up, and it was still the same style. It not only recorded the daily words and deeds of the regiment leader Hasdrubal and the main officers of the Border Corps, the movement and attack of the regiment, but also the details. Records the consumption and changes of the food load, and even describes in more detail the customs of the Liguria region passing by the Corps... In addition, it also contains some of the recorder’s views on the defense and counterattack of the Ligurian tribe, and Some suggestions on how to better deal with Ligurians and further assimilate them.

From the standpoint of monitoring and providing information, this recorder is obviously unqualified, but the information he submitted is of great reference value to Davers, so Daves only stopped Aristila from the beginning. Si wants to order him to change the way.

"I remember that the intelligence provider was Massimus, and he was a Roman. He used to be a former Roman city officer..." Daveus rolled the papyrus carefully: "He became Dionysian last year. A formal citizen? What position do you hold in the Po River Frontier Corps?"

"Your Majesty, it was your special approval last year that made him a full citizen. Now he is the Chief Officer of the Border Corps and has won the trust of Hasdrubal."

"Yuanzhong... The position in the legion is not low anymore." Daveus looked down at the scroll of paper and murmured, "This kind of person is just an ordinary member of the intelligence department. I think after the Ligurian riots have settled, I will find someone to replace him. I will reuse him."

"Your Majesty." Aristilas quickly bowed and said: "The Ministry of Information is newly built, and there is an urgent shortage of people like Massimos who have profound knowledge and can coordinate the organization!"

"Since this is the case..." Daveus pondered for a while and said: "Then bring him back as soon as possible to help you reorganize, plan and manage the intelligence department. After all, the intelligence department is now the official administration of the kingdom. Department, you must have a formal look. I don’t want the Supervision Department to sue you at both ends of the day!"

"...Understood, Your Majesty." Aristilas bowed again to salute, and indulged in a cold sweat.

After Aristilas went out, Henipolis walked into the chamber and saw Daphes holding his hands, staring at the map of the Mediterranean on the wall.

He said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Daveus didn't look back, and said slowly, "Henni, how many years has Crotot left Turui?"

With a move in his heart, Henipolis immediately said, "I remember in the fourteenth year of the Kingdom, Your Majesty, you led your army north to attack Rome, and Your Royal Highness Croto followed, and has remained in Rome ever since. It has been 13 years and I have been away from Turi for a long time!"

"Yeah, it's been a long time!" Daveus sighed, turned around, and said meaningfully: "Although he has done quite well in Rome, and has been serving as the chief executive of Rome for almost three years, he left Touri is too long, but it is easy to be forgotten!"

Hernipolis's eyelids flicked slightly, and he couldn't help remembering what Ansitano said before, immediately standing silent and silent.

"Let's mention the pen." Daveus said.

"Yes." Henripolis immediately sat down at the wooden table and quickly picked up the pen and paper.

"Giving instructions to the ministers of administration, said that Crotocatax had stayed away from Turri for many years, and Princess Christosia missed the disease, so she was allowed to step down in advance and return to Turri to serve her mother, Rome. The successor of the Chief Executive will be discussed and decided by them..." Daveus just finished dictating. Henipolis has already written it and is about to give instructions to Daveus.

Daveus again said: "Another order was given to them, saying that Ancítanos wanted to step down as foreign minister. I have approved it, and the successor is Tapirus. I hope they will complete the handover as soon as possible and avoid affecting the connection. Come down to the military operation against Sparta."

Hernipolis' hand holding the pen trembles, and after a few moments, she responded softly: "... Your Majesty, write it."

When Leotichides came out of the military department and set foot on the way home, it was already dusk.

Initially, Leotichdez’s home was in the port area of ​​Turíi; later he became a legionnaire and became a share of Dionysian citizens, and afterwards, most of the land obtained due to warfare was concentrated in Croatia. Rimisa, so there was also a house built there, but he rarely lived there because he was already the commander of the Eighth Army, and stayed in the Catania barracks all year round; later, he entered the Senate In addition to his glorious record, the kingdom gave him a residential land in the outer city of Turiyi East, not far from the Temple of Hera, and since then their entire family has lived there.

Most of the veterans living in the inner city walked home because they were close to the Great Hall and Victory Square; the veterans who lived in the outer city, because of the long distance, and in order to avoid the disturbance of pedestrians on the road, most of them At home, only a few people choose to ride horses, and the horses are reported to and approved by the City Guard, Leotichides is one of them, and he has 4 riding entourages around him to protect him Security.
