Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Crotocatax was attracted by this story, and he asked curiously: "Since the rogue is not good at leading soldiers, why can he win in the end?"

"There are two main reasons for his victory." Daveus looked at his son and slowed down his speech, but he increased his tone: "One is to be good at using people, he let excellent talents who are good at handling administrative affairs take over his governance. The territory, provide sufficient logistical support and soldiers, let the talents who are good at commanding operations serve as generals, lead the army to fight, and let the talents who are good at planning to make plans for him...Everyone who takes refuge in him can make his own use and do his best;

The second is that he is good at absorbing the correct opinions of his men and good at correcting mistakes, so he can always grasp the entire battle situation more accurately and formulate the correct strategy... This is why he can finally win."

After listening to these words, Crotocatax fell into contemplation.

Daveus said softly in a sideline: "As a king, you don't need to master the ability of the commander, but you need to master the ability of the commander, give them the task that suits their talents, and let them charge for you. Your The main energy should be focused on analyzing and grasping the trend of the entire war. For this reason, I will appoint Prentals as your staff officer, and Carrias as your military diplomat, to provide you with advice at any time...

Dionysia builds the country by martial arts, and the citizens take glory for war. If you are blank in the military, you will lack prestige among the people in the future.Moreover, the Ministry of Military Affairs is the most important department of the kingdom. It is only under the jurisdiction of the king. If you want the generals who have great military achievements to obey completely, you must also make a difference in the military.When you were young, you spent some time in the staff office, you should have an understanding of the situation of the Kingdom’s military affairs, and you once organized the food for the Gaul army in Rome. If you add this time, You have a comprehensive understanding of the entire military operation of the kingdom, and no one will fool you in this respect in the future..."

Davos's follow-up and temptation made Krato Kataks moved. He said in a deep voice: "Father, I am willing to go to Mesenia!"

"Okay! Okay!" Daveus nodded comfortably.

"But--" Klotokatax hesitated, and then said with a serious expression: "Citizens of the Kingdom can't worry about farming and doing business with peace of mind, more time is spent on military training, thinking about fighting, thinking Make a contribution and continue this for a long time... I am afraid it is not conducive to the stability of the kingdom."

Daveus smiled and looked at him with a straight face: "You can see this, I'm very happy! The reason why Dionysia rewarded the battle is that since the beginning of the kingdom, he was in the midst of strong enemies. Under the circumstance, it must be so in order to survive. It will certainly not work in the long run, but it must also be after the strong enemies who threaten us are defeated and the safety of the kingdom is guaranteed."

Crotocatax was relieved, and originally worried that his father would not listen to his opinion.

Dafus sighed and said to him solemnly: "But you have to understand that the system of rewarding the battle has been entrenched among the people for so many years, and it cannot be changed at once. The efforts of generations will transform it little by little.

In addition, you should also understand that even if we defeat all the strong enemies in the Mediterranean, we can’t put down the gun shield completely, which will make the people of the kingdom gradually indulge in comfort, become cowardly, and fear the war. Taiji was also wiped out by a newly rising force!Therefore, how to control the balance between the two is a headache but a very important problem for me, for you, and for future generations!"

Late in the night, Klotokatax returned to the mansion on the mountainside and walked into the bedroom after the shower.

Dido was sitting by the bed, holding the child, and humming Ge Yao softly.

Seeing her husband coming in, Dido asked the female slave next to him to carefully hold the sleeping child in his arms to the outhouse to sleep peacefully, and then whispered, "You are back, what did your father tell you to talk about?"

Crotocatax didn't answer immediately. He looked around and whispered, "Why didn't you see Chris?"

"Stayed on the mountain by your mother again." Dido said coldly.

Hearing his wife's anger, Crotocatax quickly comforted: "Mother loves Chris, she will take care of him, anyway, you are close, you don't need to worry."

"Where do I dare worry, your mother is a princess who is respected by the people of Dionysia, even her father has to listen to her."

Dido sneered to express his dissatisfaction, Crotocatax remained silent, he was used to it, knowing that it was best not to speak at this time.

Sure enough, Dido just vented, and then asked: "What did your father tell you to say?"

"My father wanted me to be the army commander of the expedition to Peloponnese." Croto Kataks said truthfully.

If the average woman first thought of her husband’s safety, but Dido’s thoughts were different from ordinary people, she immediately asked in surprise: "Isn’t that army commander Prosius? He has led the army to capture How can it be possible for you to take over after you have made Mercenia? Is it your father's intention to send another army?"

"General Prosius is the Prince of Sparta..." Crotocatax briefly described the situation.

"It turned out to be this way." Dido's pretty face showed a happy look: "I'm relieved this time! You have been idle for so many days back, I'm still a little worried, and now it seems that my father is ready."

"This is the first time I have led an army expedition. Why don't you worry about my safety, just in case..." Crotokatax said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Father dare to let you go, it must have been well prepared, how could you be in danger. Di Duo slightly lowered his chest, half-covered chest in pajamas revealing a white, she smiled, the bedroom shined: " Your prince, I wish you victory and return to become a hero of the kingdom!"

Crotocatax swallowed: "Would you give me some rewards in advance?" Then, he pressed his wife down on the bed...

In the early morning, the Amendolara mountain was shrouded in mist, and the houses on the mountain were so shadowy that it was not very real.

The open space in front of the Temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain (Some years ago, it was proposed to convert the Temple of Zeus into the Temple of the Protector of the Kingdom, Hades, but it was opposed by the old people, who believed that it was because of the protection of the Temple of Zeus Many Amendolara talents survived the invasion of the Lucania, and because of their persistence, this temple has now become the only Zeus temple in Greater Greece. People from other towns often come to worship ), standing hundreds of young men in uniforms, they lined up neatly.

Standing in front of the team is an old man with white hair. Although his face looks old, his figure is more sturdy. He is Ketisus.

At the moment, he said majesticly: "Alsinis, are everyone here?"

"To...not yet...one is missing." The headed young man said hesitantly.

"Who is missing?" Ketisus sighed in a fit.

"Um... that... Te Panders."

"Alsinis, although you are only temporarily acting as the captain of the military training company." Ketisus rebuked dissatisfiedly: "But since you have become a team officer, you should strictly perform your duties instead of thinking about sheltering My friends, you must know that military law is absolutely unforgiving. The reason why the Dionysian Legion is invincible is because we have strict discipline. Do you understand?"

"Understood, military trainer!" the youths responded in unison.

"Immediately arranged in columns and marched around the square for 50 laps!"

The circle around the square of the Temple of Zeus is about 150 meters, 50 circles is 7500 meters, and the young people are wearing armor and holding wooden sticks and wooden shields in their hands (because they are only training, so no real gun shields are used), This amount of exercise is quite large.But no one raised any objections from the youth, and immediately began to act.

At this time, a young man hurried into the square: "Report!"

"Tepanders, you came early!" Kartisus stared at him.

Hearing this, Te Panders shivered subconsciously.

"Alsinis, according to military law, how late should he be in training?" Ketisus asked coldly.This time Alsinis did not hesitate: "Ten military sticks should be fined!"

"Tepanders, did you hear that?!"

Tippenston panicked, and actively wanted to explain: "Uncle Kertisus, I am because of--"

"There are only soldiers and instructors on the training ground. Get down!" Ketisus strode over and kicked Tepandes unkindly.

Te Panders did not dare to dodge, and after a hard kick, he obediently lay on the still wet ground.

It seems that Te Panders is very clever. In fact, his origin is not the same. The second son of Trotila, the commander of the army, of course, these young people are almost all expensive, Matonis, Olivers, Geogris, A Garcia... The sons of many kingdom generals and ministers are among them. The Alsinis, who was temporarily accused of being the captain of the company, is the adopted son of the regimental leader Melisanda.

After all, Amendolara is the birthplace of the divine kingdom of Dionia, and the situation is special.Therefore, many retired soldiers of the legion retreat to serve as the military trainer of Amendolara, but Ketisus is different. He is a former Persian mercenary, and the fathers of these young people are comrades, and he was the first one before retirement. The first captain of the legion was prestigious enough to dare to train these young men strictly in accordance with military law. The punished youths did not even dare to go home to complain, because not only was there no effect, but they would also be beaten by their father.
