v6 Chapter 47： Li Jim's request

Little Klotto Kataks just climbed onto his father's knees and was about to be taken away by his mother. He was crying and noisy unhappy.

Daves didn't mind to take care of him at the moment, and turned back to Atily Cruz. "The Dionysian Senate will be very happy to hear this news, I hope-"

Attilisus waved his hand and immediately said: "But Lijim also has a small request, I hope that Dionia can agree!"

The Greeks of Nanyi said that the Lijim people are all businessmen, and they must be compared. Attilis is even more of the best. It really is unprofitable! Davers sighed and said, "Please, please."

"You also know that the tyrant of Syracuse rebuilt Messina. Messina is now completely turned to Syracuse, and is right against Lijim. And it has an accomplice - Tindares, It was the colonial city where the tyrant placed the Messinians. It was not far from Messina. The two city-states united, often disrupting the trade routes of the Straits, and sometimes even seizing the merchant ships that came to Lijim... This goes on, no merchant ship dares to come to Li Jim to do sea trade, Li Jim is ruined!" Attilis said in a sad mood.

"We have repeatedly protested to Messina, but it has not helped. We have sent messengers to Syracuse, and the tyrant simply did not meet our messengers! So our council decided to build on the Millai Peninsula. A colonial city used to house exiles in some Sicilian city-states such as Katanay, Naxos, and Leotini..."

"You wait." Davers turned back to the slave who was on the side of the hospital. "Go to the study and bring the map of Sicily." Although Davers has the habit of watching the map every day, it is relative to the south. Familiar with the meaning, Davis's memory of the terrain and city-state position of Sicily is still worse.

"Cathani, Naxos and other Sicilian city-states were destroyed by Dionysius, and their exiles must be full of hatred against Syracuse." Davers knew that many city-states in Great Greece had The exiles of Sicily, this is because the great Greek city-state has a sense of alert to Syracuse, so it will be easy to help the opponents who were driven away by Syracuse. Daves naturally thinks of it at the moment. Aristilas.

"This is for sure, so they won't be easily caught by the tyrant!" said Atily Cruz, hate.

At this point, the map was taken and Davers unfolded it on the wooden table where the cutlery had been removed.

"This is Messina... This is Tindares..." Daphus looked carefully on the map.

Attilis also got together and looked at the map made of this parchment: obviously it was specially drawn, not only in proportion, but also in meticulous, not as much as the one stored in Lijim City Hall. The son-in-law who came to her own is not low on Sicily. Even the newly built Lili spleen, the new city of Messina, and the Taoromeon... these newly-built city-state locations are clearly marked, and some of the destroyed city-states are also marked, and I explained it on the side, such as Ximala on the northern coast, which read "Destroyed by the war of Sicily initiated by Hanover in the 15th year of Carthage."

"This is the Millai Peninsula..." Daphus's fingers were finally fixed in the northeast corner of Sicily. The Millai Peninsula is a peninsula. The feeling of giving Daves on the map is actually only a prominent sea otter. Just between Messina and Tindares, the location of this colonial city is so wonderful. Just cut off the connection between the two cities, knowing that Messina and Tindares are both new towns (Messina City was destroyed by Carthage), not strong, although there is Syracuse behind Support, but Syracuse controls so many city-states, it is impossible to support Messina and Tindares with all their strength. Although Lijim is not as strong as Syracuse, but it is also a strong state, and very rich, a lot of resources to pour into this newly built city, and soon it will make it more powerful than Messina and Tinsdas. In order to achieve the purpose of contain and deter them.

But there is an important issue here.

"Did you consider Syracuse's attitude?" Daves asked quietly.

"According to ancient traditions, any Greek city-state has the right to establish colonies, not to mention the location of our new city is not within the territory of Messina and Tindares..." Attilis said plausibly.

"With the personality of Dionysius, he will not consider any Greek tradition." Daves is not optimistic about this, his face said seriously: "He managed to control the western Sicily, but there is a foreigner. The forces have to reach out to his sphere of influence. Do you think he will agree?"

"So I came to Turui this time. Lijim wants your support!" Attilis said eagerly: "To this end, Lijim is willing to hand over our fleet to Dionya."

The city-state in the original Dionysian League did not have such a degree of freedom to bargain with Dionia, but Lijim was the only big Greek power to join the alliance, which is different from other affiliated states. The Nigerian Senate showed enough tolerance and respect for it, and in order to enhance the voice of Dionynia in the Nanyi League, Davis invited Lijim to join the Nanyi League last year, like Crotone. When other city-states did not strongly oppose it, it can be seen that the influence of Lijim, a veteran powerhouse, has made Lijim the only major Greek city-state that belongs to both the Dionysian League and the South-Italian Alliance.

Davers is silent: support? It’s easy to say, it means war, and Diaonia is now trying to avoid this happening, or why it’s going to sign a friendship treaty with Syracuse, Lijim wants to drag Dionia off the water. Yeah!

"I think such an important thing must be decided by the Senate's discussion, and even need to discuss with other city-states in the Nanyi League." Daphus vaguely said that he did not immediately respond.

It was hard to send away the unhappy Attilis, and Davers continued to walk back and forth in the living room, thinking about the Strait of Messina.

Finally, he called Aristilas.

"There will be a war!" Aristilas said affirmatively: "The reason why Messina and Tindares dared to infringe Lijim so boldly was the result of the support behind Dionysius. Not sure what Li Jim wants to do is exactly what he wants. He can just launch a war against Lijim, not only to retaliate against Lijim--" Aristilas said here and looked at Davis.

Daves didn't care what he meant, saying, "Go ahead."

"And Syracuse occupied Lijim and took control of the entire Strait of Messina. Dionysius was able to collect taxes on past merchant ships to feed his huge army. Adults, according to intelligence, Syracuse In the negotiations with Carthage, they demanded a large amount of war reparations, and used the money to buy food, build warships, and pay for mercenaries, not just to treat a Lijim!” Aristila Speaking worriedly.

Daves was indulged, and he knew all of this information.

Aristilas said in a deep voice: "In addition... adults, from the intelligence gathered recently in various places in Dionia, I found a situation that I hope will attract your attention."

"Oh, what?" Davers looked at him.

“Now there is a growing concern among the citizens who are preparing for citizenship and the registered free people. They are worried that even if they become official citizens of Dionia, they will no longer be able to obtain land...” Aristilas Slowly said.

Davers doubled his eyebrows. Indeed, the land of the plains of the territory of the Union of Dionynia has been basically divided, and only the vacant land in the mountains of Lucania and the Bleu region is still available but that is not enough for such preparatory citizens. distribution.

"So, they want to leave?" Daphus's mouth was slightly upturned, half-jokingly and half-heartedly said.

"Diagna is a paradise for the free people, how can they leave!" Aristilas paused and said in aggravated tone: "They want to have war, use war to win more land, use to participate Fight to shorten the years to become citizens, and use the record to win the opportunity to share the land!"

Davers is in a deep mood. The system of military power he designed for Diaonia can be said to attract the Greek free people to come to bring the source of Dionia, but also to motivate them to fight and not fear the death.

"The war is forever, the war is dead..." Daves silently recited this sentence. The commanding power of the Dionysian army must be firmly in his hands, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once it is out of control. But now, Diaonia is still weak and needs this system to grow itself.

"Land..." Daversmo licked his chin. Now Dionia is indeed a bottleneck for expansion: to the south, there is a strong Syracuse; to the north, is the Samonet, Davers knows that the Romans in the past history have spent decades It took time to conquer this war-torn race, and suffered several fiasco in the meantime. Before it was ready, Dionia would not easily provoke it; then to the east, it was the Mesapi and Puceti. The territory, in terms of distance, is the closest place to Dionia, but these two races are not good, and they are united, and Dionia needs to do everything in its power to conquer them. However, the current situation is not allowed, and there is also a Tarantum sandwiched in the middle. The relationship with Dioria is not very harmonious. Without its full support, Daves is afraid to send troops to attack Mei. Sappi's.
