v7 Chapter 28： The real purpose of Davers

When Hilos just sat down, Davers asked: "What do you think of today's Senate meeting?"

Hilos hesitated a moment and did not answer this question directly. Instead, he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I think Antonios is a very good military minister. The military department is also very good. It can make me temporarily For him for a while, wait until he is ill, and then continue to serve as the military minister. Now it is during the war, in order to ensure that the military department will not be turbulent, I suggest ... or not to change the military minister."

Davers looked at him, and Hilos looked frank.

A moment later, Daves waved his left hand and said in a deep voice: "Anthony is taking the initiative to dismiss him. Even if I keep him, he will not stay in this position. Look at this -"

Davers turned the "Promoted Officer Roster" on the table to the eighth leg of the page and handed it to him.

Hilos’s doubts were taken over, and when he looked carefully, his face changed slightly. The arrest of Pafogris, the son of La Odesian, for the murder in the past two days has gradually spread in the port of Turui (mainly Naxos). The credit of the merchants), Hilos also heard about it, and the heart could not help but complain: Antonios also promoted this evil at this time, not to give people a handle!

He discards his words and whispers: "Your Majesty, I think Antonios will not make such mistakes and promote such unqualified soldiers..."

"At least he is a dereliction of duty, and it also shows that there are many problems in the military affairs department. This is why I have to establish a military court and also let the local ombudsman enter the army, because the entire army needs to be reorganized! So you This military minister has great responsibility after taking office. Not only should he be given the help of military courts and ombudsmen, he should try his best to cooperate with their work, but also let the military department maintain stability and let the subordinate military officers and soldiers feel at ease..." Dafoss has a long heart Said: "I believe you can grasp the balance between the two!"

Although Davis had high hopes, Hilos was deeply responsible and he did not respond. Davers said: "You can take this roster and check it out. How many unqualified team officers and soldiers have been promoted. The officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs who violated the law and dereliction of duty were thrown out by me and handed over to the ombudsman and the military court. The army of the kingdom must not allow any locusts to exist! This time must be dealt with seriously and ring the whole army. Alarm!"

The sound of Daves’s trepidation shocked Hilos, and he shook his spirits and said forcefully: “Your Majesty, I will do my best to do it!”

"Very good!" Daphus nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled out a letter, Shen Sheng said: "There is another important thing, you must know as the military minister." He said, he handed the letter to Hilos.

Hilos looked at the letter and looked dignified: "Your Majesty, what is said in this letter is true?!"

"I am sending people to investigate, from the current situation, I am afraid it is more than that..." Daves said as he walked to the big map on the wall and pointed his hand to the west of Mount Etna. Seriously said: "After the South Italian War, we have the Catania Plains, Naxos, Sikuli, Tauromeon and Messina, and Leonidini, Tonys. With the help of the Allied Cities, Syracuse was suppressed in the southeast corner of Sicily, making the kingdom's strength an absolute advantage in eastern Sicily. The West Kelmen feared our strength and took the initiative to form an alliance with us. A member of the Allian League, and we treat every town and tribe in West Kyle equally, always adopting a policy of weakening and weakening when they ask for help, that is, to avoid being a big one and prevent them from rejoining together. The Kingdom of Sikel, in order to assimilate them and merge them in the future...

However, from now on, there has been a problem with the implementation of this political strategy. The Taknikian tribe of the West Kel is likely to use the help of the Sicilian veterans in these years to quietly carry out the annexation and expansion! I don't have much detailed information about the current situation of this tribe, even though this tribe is far from Kefal Roy, which is the closest town to the west of the West Kel, from both Katana and Naxos. Farther, but the Siberian hounds (referring to the intelligence department of Aristilas) will not ignore it to this extent. It can be seen that they have consciously blocked the news, which cannot but cause us to be vigilant! ”

The tone of Davers’s voice made what Helos felt. He straightened his body and asked without hesitation: “Your Majesty, do you mean war?!”

Davers once again glanced at the map and slammed his fist into Sicily. He said with a slap in the face: "As long as the guilt of the Sicilian veteran, such as La Odesian, is confirmed, we have reason to wage war against Taknik and completely destroy it. The opportunity to rise, at the same time shock other West Kyle forces, strengthen their control! Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs must be prepared in advance, especially the Eighth Army, it will be the main force to attack Taknikan."

Out of his understanding of Daves, Hilos did not immediately oppose his decision, but made his own suggestion: "Your Majesty, before the war on the Sikal, the Ministry of Military Affairs can only quietly prepare to avoid letting West The Kiel were prepared to get trouble for our future offense. And now we are in the midst of a war against the Dani people. If we are also fighting in Sicily, the pressure on the military logistics will be relatively high. It was launched after the end of the War of Tony, which is also conducive to the smooth passage of the war resolution in the Senate.

In addition, since it is necessary to launch a war, the military is better able to maintain stability. Investigate and deal with the illegal team officers in the past... I hope that we can not expand too much, and... it is best not to punish too much. After all, they are all first-time offenders. Your Majesty can give them a chance to change, and it does not harm the soldiers' respect for you! ”

Daves listened carefully and fell into meditation.

Hilos sat quietly waiting.

In the end, Daves said slowly: "The Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for your affairs. The specific investigation and punishment measures are decided by you and the military judge prosecutor, and then submitted to me for review and signing. As for when to launch against Taknik The war in An, I will depend on the situation."

Although Daves did not explicitly agree with Hilos, Hilos knew that the King had actually made concessions, and he immediately said with gratitude: "Thank you!"

Davers looked at Hilos. Over the years, with his authority and importance, he has become more and more acquainted with the former mercenary friends... However, fortunately, there are people like Helos, Capus, Alexis and so on. Asking questions and making recommendations for his decision is actually a good thing!

When he thought of it, his tone eased a bit: "Is there any suggestion?"

Hilos sees Daves calmly and says: "The head of the Eighth Army is Leo Tizides. He has never had the experience of commanding the army, and you have just said that the Eighth Army will As the main force of the attacking West Kyle, in order to be on the safe side, do you need to exchange a senior officer with more experience in the command of the legion to take over as the head of the Eighth Army?"

Daphus’s mouth was slightly tilted and said: “Who else in the official knows the terrain of Sicily better than Leo Tizides? Is it clearer about the customs and customs of the place? Can the Sicilian citizen soldiers obey the command?”

Daves’s words asked Hilos: Leo Tizides was rooted in Sicily for six years! Nature is not comparable to other military leaders who are strangers to Sicily. According to the "Dyonia Military Law", one of the important conditions that a senior officer must have in commanding combat is to be familiar with the battlefield environment and understand the customs around the battlefield. Of course, this is not to say that other military commanders cannot go to Sicily to fight, but this will undoubtedly lengthen the time to end the war and increase the consumption of war...

Hilos thought of Antonios, but once La Odrian and others were proved to be in violation of discipline, then as his relatives and deep-seated with Sicilian veterans, Antonios will inevitably be accused by the veterans, the Senate is unable to Interfere with the commander who is responsible for attacking the West Kel, but their accusation will inevitably lead to the criticism of Antonios by the kingdom of the people, which is simply to roast the Antonios on the stove! So Hilos realized at this time: Daves asked Antonios to resign at home, which was actually a kind of protection for him.

Davers sees Hilos not talking Then he said: "Leo Tiddides, many people say that he is silent, harsh and serious, does not like to associate with him, but I think he talks with others. The time for chatting is on the matter of thinking about the military and training the soldiers. This is a natural warrior! I believe he will command this war!"

The affirmation of Daves made Hilos no longer object to it, because he believed in Davis's knowledge of human beings, and many successes in the past were witnesses.

The two men discussed it for a while. Hilos was going to leave and was stopped by Daves. "It’s already past noon. You haven’t eaten lunch yet. I’m so hungry. It’s been a long time since I’ve been sitting. Have a relaxing drink and chat! Don't leave, let me cook a few good dishes, and have a few drinks!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."
