Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Davos asked Henepolis to copy several copies of the battle report, distribute it to the ministers, and then said: Everyone, as we expected, it was not long after the contract of Callias was signed, and Sparta and Debe were The Spartan war broke out again, but this time the Spartan army was defeated by the Thebes in the battle. As the Thebes alliance, what measures should we take in the next war? You What's your opinion on this?

While most people were still reading the battle report and pondering, the commander of the Second Army, Matonis, had already praised with admiration: Your Majesty, your previous judgment was very correct! The Thebes really won by less. Many, defeated the Spartans who have been rampant in Greece for many years!

After the war began, Davos held a military conference to analyze the war. When almost all the senior generals were not optimistic about Thebes, Davos made a pre-judgment that Thebes was likely to win.

Even though the generals respected Davos, they were skeptical of this judgment. But I didn't expect that the final result was actually mentioned by King Davos.

Your Majesty. Chief of Staff Plintors said immediately: The Thebes commander Ipamironda that you are looking for is really amazing in this battle. His attack on the Spartans is amazing. The ingenious design of the traditional formation has played a huge role, causing the Spartan army to be not weak in combat strength and larger in number, but it did not get much use at all, and suffered a defeat. It seems that these Years Bis can resist the Spartan army. The Bada attack was not only due to the heroism of its citizens, but also the commanding ability of their generals.

Thebes, who were reborn in the disaster, were in line with Ancitanos' view. They were more united at the top, with the capable and powerful Pelopidas at the helm, and the army had the cool-headed and commanding Iraqi. Palmeronda in command, the two sides work closely together, the citizens are full of energy, willing to contribute to the revitalization of Thebes, I am not surprised to be able to defeat Sparta. I also believe that with the current upward momentum of Thebes , and they have a shocking performance after that. Are you right? Ancitanos.

Your Majesty. Although the successor of Foreign Minister Ancitanos has been determined, the decree has not yet been issued, so he still appeared at this important meeting. At this moment, he bowed slightly to Davos, and said with some emotion: Ashamed to say, someone judged that Thebes would rise a few years ago. , it's amazing!

Oh? Davos was surprised and asked curiously, Who made such an accurate judgment?

Your Majesty, it's your son Apox. Ancitanos then repeated what Apox said in the Dionysian Academy, and also emphasized: At that time, I participated in the There are many students in this class, and they can all testify that what I say is true.

There was a sound of admiration in the palace council room, and everyone praised: Apox was smart and wise,

Being able to make amazing judgments at such a young age, as expected of His Majesty's son, favored by Hades...

Davos had a smile on his face and looked very happy. He listened carefully to the praise of his ministers. After a while, he emphasized again: Okay, everyone, let's get back to the point. Do you think that in this game? What will happen to the situation in Greece after the war? What measures should we take to deal with it? Let’s talk about your views.”

Your Majesty. Lucias, the head of the auxiliary minister, stood up tremblingly with a cane.

Davos said quickly: Lord Lysias, sit down and talk! Sit down and talk!

Lysias did not insist, he sat down again, and said slowly: Although we Dionia have formed an alliance with Thebes, the situation in Greece has always been complicated, and we had better not get involved easily. Among them, dragged down by it.

Now, fortunately, the Thebes have defeated Sparta. We can take advantage of this great opportunity. By virtue of Dionia's good relationship with Thebes and Sparta, he can act as a mediator of the war. , prompting the two sides to reach a truce agreement, I think this will not only help the ally Thebes, but also enhance our influence in Greece, and will not be dragged into this war, this is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, I I think your Majesty you should seriously consider it!

At the beginning, Lysias did not agree with the alliance between Dionia and Thebes. However, Davos insisted and finally reached an alliance agreement. Now he persuades again.

As soon as he finished speaking, another auxiliary minister, Antaoris, immediately retorted: Lord Lysias, I don't agree with your suggestion! Why did we Dionia ally with Thebes? Not because we want to Retaliation Sparta tore up the peace agreement, but because of the needs of the kingdom's development.

Today, the situation in Africa and Iberia is stable, Gaul in the mountains has been conquered, and although the Ligurians have occasional riots, they are no longer a problem... In addition, other forces in the Western Mediterranean are basically attached to our country. Not only have they come out of the predicament after the war in the Western Mediterranean, agriculture, commerce, handicrafts... have made great progress in all aspects, the people are prosperous and stable, they are all eager to make progress eastward and set foot on the land of their ancestors Win more glory and wealth!

War... war! Lysias slapped the back of his chair hard, and said hoarsely in a trembling voice: Continuously waging war is not good for the kingdom, it will destabilize the kingdom and make the people greedy. War is not conducive to our governance! Although the previous wars have been won, you have all seen the damage caused to the kingdom, and it will take a long time to recover. Moreover, the victory cannot always belong to us, in case it will happen in the future If we fail in the war, the consequences will be unimaginable... so we still have to be safe!

When he finished the last sentence, he looked at Davos.

Davos looked calm and did not respond.

Another auxiliary minister, Cypros, said: Lord Lysias, forming an alliance with Thebes is not only a need for the development of the kingdom, but also an important decision made by His Majesty based on the consideration of the security of the kingdom.

We all know that Persia has shown hostility to Dionysus, and it fully supports the restoration of peace in Greece, which is trying to use Sparta to unify the power of the whole of Greece against us. We are separated from the mainland of Greece by a narrow Adriatic Sea. Once this conspiracy of Persia is achieved, the kingdom will become very unsafe on the east coast of Greater Greece, so His Majesty will take the initiative to attack and unite with Thebes, to sabotage the Persian conspiracy.

Now that Thebes has unexpectedly defeated the Spartan army, we should seize this favorable opportunity to decisively send troops to Greece on the grounds of supporting our allies, completely defeat Sparta, smash the Persian conspiracy, and in turn transform the Greek city-states into Become our alliance, become a barrier to the east of the kingdom, and even further become our forward base for threatening Persia!

Lord Cypros said it well! Matonis, Olivers and other legion commanders praised in unison.

This made Lysias a little embarrassed, and even Antaoris felt a little uncomfortable.

Davos coughed twice, and the chamber immediately returned to silence.

Soon, Haqqana's characteristic shrill and slow voice resounded in the hall: I agree that this opportunity to form an alliance with Thebes should be used to set foot in Greece and destroy the Persian conspiracy... However, I am worried Although the Thebes won a battle, they were still at a disadvantage in the war, is it possible that they will use this victory to reach a truce with the Spartans?

Haka's words aroused everyone's thinking.

If Thebes really reached a truce with Sparta, then it's not a good thing for us, because as an ally of Thebes, we have no legitimate reason to send troops to Greece. Antaoris first The speech reminded: We Dionia have no influence in Greece, and are even regarded as heretics by the Temple of Delphi because we honor Hades. They have long slandered the reputation of our holy kingdom of Dionia in mainland Greece. Ordinary Greek people don’t have a good impression of us. If we rashly send troops to Greece without a legitimate reason and without the support of our allies, I’m afraid it will arouse strong resentment from the Greek people, and it will be extremely unfavorable for us to control the situation there!”

What's there to worry about! As long as we are strong enough to completely conquer Sparta, other city-states will naturally respect Dionia! Matonis said loudly.

In fact, in addition to Thebes, we have a legitimate reason to send troops to Greece, and we will also get the support of some Greeks. At this time, another auxiliary minister, Sedorum, interjected, and he went to Davos. After a salute, he said, Your Majesty, do you remember the promise you made to the people of Tindarius after the war with Syracuse many years ago ended?

Davos was stunned, recalling the scene at that time, and said in a deep voice: If you don't mention this, I almost forgot! I once made a promise to them that one day in the future, they will be able to return to their hometowns. , rebuild their homeland, and re-enshrine their ancient heroes...

Some ministers in the hall understood this, while others seemed at a loss. Haka couldn't help but ask, Your Majesty, where is the hometown of the Tindaris?

Most of the Tyndares are from Messenia in the Peloponnese, a land that was forcibly occupied by Sparta a hundred years ago, and turned all the people who originally lived there into victims. They enslaved the Helots, but the Messenians were dissatisfied with the cruel Spartans' rule, and their resistance has never stopped. It can only be expelled from the Peloponnese... Davos briefly recounted the history of the Tyndares.
