Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Sitting on the throne, Davos announced loudly: You don't have to worry about the food issue at all, because Dionysus has become an alliance with Egypt, and the Egyptian pharaoh Nektanib promised to continue to aid Dionysus free of charge. Substantial quantities of wheat until the autumn harvest. The first batch of grains, nearly one hundred thousand tons, has already departed from Egypt by fleet.

When the councilors heard the news, they all cheered in unison, their faces full of joy, and some even shouted excitedly: Kingdom Victory! King Davos Victory! There is no longer any threat to the people of various towns.

In such a festive atmosphere, the Minister of Military Affairs, Hiros, began to talk about the military situation and daily military affairs of the kingdom last year. He focused on the formation and training of the 11th Corps, as well as the construction of the barracks. Thanks for the active cooperation of the town.

Next, he talked about the reasons for the two wars that took place last year: from the Campania League, an ally of Dionysian ally who the Kautini violated the covenant repeatedly, and the Campania envoy to Turi Iraq asked for help, but the Dionysian messenger went to Cautim to block the fight and was refused. In the end, the kingdom had to send the third legion to smash Cautini's attempt to invade the Campania alliance...

He then goes on to talk about the long-term support and assistance of the Carthaginians to Rome, the sinister purpose involved in this move, and Rome's massive attack on Volsci. With Wolsey's request for help, why did Dionia form an alliance with it and send troops to support it, and briefly described the entire Wolsey battle...

The key point of Hiros's story is at the end, he reminded everyone in the venue loudly: Because Carthage took the initiative to tear up the friendly agreement with Dionia, and declared that as long as Dionia had a war with Rome, it would Dionia declared war. According to intelligence, Carthage is actively preparing for war, so this year's war with Carthage is inevitable!

After Hiros finished speaking, the venue was relatively calm. After all, most of these town councillors were well-informed and kept an eye on the major events that happened in Turui. What's more, after they arrived in Turui, they would usually visit the townspeople first. The elders, having received some information about this assembly in advance, they have nothing to blame for the two wars that Dionia was involved in and the possible war with Carthage. Instead, they are more concerned about the impact the upcoming war will have on their town.

For example, the legislators of Enona and Kopsa are worried: once the upcoming war breaks the peace of Dionysian and the surrounding forces, will the Samonais who have broken face with Dionys take the opportunity to fight against Dionysus The entire western region of Campania launched an attack. Although the Third Army has now been stationed in the Campania Alliance, they still hope that the Ministry of Military Affairs can continue to strengthen the defense of this area.

The same idea was held by the members of the Downey region, who believed that: Compared with the heavily defended northwestern border of Dionia, the military strength of the Downey region, which had just been merged into Dionia, was weak and might become a The focus of the Samone offensive, the Ministry of Military Affairs must pay attention.

The parliamentarians from Sicily were more direct, because at this time, Dionia’s territory in Sicily had already begun to mobilize for war. They believed that if the Carthaginian army came, the Sicilian army alone would not be enough to resist. Send a few more legions to Sicily.

The councilors of Hera and Hebita brought some proposals from the Sikelite tribes: they hoped to join the kingdom of Dionysia and gain fertile lands by winning the war in the coming war.

Of course, councillors in more cities and towns called for a delay in the gathering of soldiers from various legions to ensure the smooth progress of the spring sowing.

...

Of course, for the active questions and suggestions of the members in the venue, King Davos and his ministers in the center of the venue do not need to reply immediately. The secretaries of the venue will record their proposals. These will be the next few days. The issues discussed by the elders of Tianli and the councillors, the solution was found, and the final proposal was formed. After it was approved by a majority at the meeting, and after King Davos signed it, a new bill was finally formed and implemented in the kingdom.

The newly promoted elders Alcibiades and Feidun participated in the council of the kingdom for the first time. Since Lijim has just been incorporated into the kingdom of Dionia, the councillors and tribunes of its city council have not yet been elected, let alone The delegates had been selected to attend the meeting, so they were completely unfamiliar with the meeting process and did not make any preparations at all.

The two of them also witnessed the opening of the conference, the ministers of the kingdom described the work of each department in the past year, the questions of the parliamentarians, and the fierce debate and compromise between the parliamentarians in the following days, as well as the final agreement. The proposal... These all opened the eyes of the two of them, especially Feidun, who couldn't help sighing loudly: The Dionysians have created a great political system, which can not only facilitate the centralized management of a vast territory, but also satisfy as much as possible. Every town democratically expresses its own demands, how can such a country not become prosperous and powerful!

Alcibiades couldn't help but say: It is said that this system was initiated and formulated by my brother-in-law!

It is the luck of the kingdom of Dionia to have a magical king full of wisdom! Feidun's praise again made Alcibiades, a relative, proud, and he said excitedly: Fortunately we are Become a Dionian too!

Feidun said sternly: This is the most correct thing we Lijim people have done in the past ten years!

Just as the members of the conference were having a heated discussion on the second day, Davos came to the city council hall in Turiyi. Compared with other cities, Turiyi has the largest population and the largest number of members, and the natural council hall is also the largest. , can accommodate four or five hundred people, and the annual meeting of the kingdom tribunes is held here.

Davers delivered his opening remarks, expressing his sincere thanks to the Tribune for their contribution to keeping the entire kingdom safe, stable and fair over the past year.

Then, the Supreme Inspector Sesta briefly summarized the tribunes' disclosure of violations of law and discipline in various cities last year and the general situation of safeguarding the interests of the people, and then focused on some cases of bribery and bribery solved by them in cooperation with the Ministry of Supervision. Finally, ten outstanding tribunes were named and honored and their outstanding deeds made in the past year.

The ten tribunes from various towns in the kingdom who had been notified in advance walked to the center of the venue, and Davos personally wore the medals on their Boltons.

This is a small silver buckle in the shape of an exquisite snake-head whip, inspired by the nickname of the tribunes, who are known by the people as the whip of the kingdom, that oversees and flogs the outlaws the meaning of. This is the highest honor the tribunes have received, so they all took the stage to accept King Davos's congratulations excitedly.

Different from the assembly of councillors, the assembly of the tribunes is the leading role of the tribunes, and they will come to the stage one by one to tell some of the situation, problems, and suggestions of their own city one by one. Most of them are from towns and villages, and they are more accustomed to discovering and viewing problems from the perspective of the people. This is of great benefit to Davers, the ministers, and the Senate to have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation at the grassroots level of the kingdom. Therefore, the clerks are serious The records of the speeches of each tribune, some of their useful proposals will be summarized to the Senate for discussion.

At the end of the day's meeting, Davos once again thanked the tribunes for their contributions to the kingdom, and reminded them that in the new year, a big war is likely to break out in the kingdom! During the war, it is very important to ensure the stability of the kingdom!

He hoped that the tribunes could help the local officials manage the place well, be alert to suspicious strangers, and prevent unrest. At the same time, we also need to help the families of citizens who serve on expeditions and safeguard their interests... Whether the whole country of Dionia can work together to defeat the enemy depends on their efforts!

Davos's remarks made the blood of the tribunes boil, and they made a promise to the king one by one, and they also wanted to bring this promise back to their colleagues in their city.

……………………………………

Just when Davos used these two conferences held in the new year to unify the knowledge of the people in the cities of the kingdom and prepare to deal with the coming war, Cynthia was at the mansion of Patroclus on the south bank of the Krati River. Receiving Adoris, who came to visit her, she let the chef cook good dishes and prepared good wine to entertain her own brother.

Sister, don't you really want to eat a little, this fish tastes good! Adoris asked casually while eating the dish.

Cynthia touched her belly, shook her head and said, I just want to vomit when I see fish and meat. Mother Cristoia specially sent a chef to cook me dishes suitable for pregnant women.

Mother is so kind to you! Adoris exclaimed.

Did your parents treat you badly! Cynthia asked back.

Adoris was at a loss for words, and hurriedly buried himself in eating.

Cynthia looked at her and suddenly asked: You are usually busy training in the military camp, and you rarely even go home. How can you come to me today, is there something wrong?

Adoris was taken aback by Cynthia's sudden question. He was obviously not ready, and said hesitantly: No... It's nothing, I just heard... I heard that you are pregnant, come and see you.

Cynthia immediately raised her face and took out the majesty of her eldest sister: I'm your sister, and I don't know what you're thinking! Stop babbling, and tell me if you have anything!
