v8 Chapter 52： Export to Egypt (3)

"Is it just a friendly exchange?" Pharaoh Nektanib re-sit, his eyes sparkling.

Nektanib’s counter-inquiry gave Ansitanos a glimpse, but he listened to Pharaoh and continued: "Why not be an alliance?"

Ansitanos was really stunned. He didn't think that Pharaoh Niketanib would be so direct.

Pharaoh Nektanib did not care about his surprise. He said seriously: "As far as I know, the citizens of Diaonia are mainly Greeks. Egypt and Greece have always been friendly, and the city of Nowkratis is a testimony! Over the past few decades, the Greeks have repeatedly helped Egypt against the tyrannical Persians. To this day, there are many tombs of Athenians outside Memphis, which were the 70 years ago when the Greeks joined us and the Egyptians to fight against Persia. The sacrifice, we need to continue this friendship!” Pharaoh Nektanib said with a slight excitement, he apparently ignored the fact that the Athenians were employed by Persia and attacked Egypt a few years ago.

It turned out that the Egyptians wanted to form an alliance with Dionia to help them resist the Persian offense! Ansitanos no longer wonders why Principal Nektanib would be so urgent about the alliance, even though this diplomatic choice was originally in his plan with Davis.

But Ansitanos will never know that in the eyes of Principal Nekhtani, the Persian threat to Egypt is by no means a potential but a real danger.

In the first half of this turbulent period, in the towns of the Nile Delta, some Egyptian bureaucrats secretly sent a secret letter to the land of Canaan under the Persian rule adjacent to the eastern border of Egypt in an attempt to confess to Persia. Reoccupied Egypt, including some in Memphis. Although the Persians have lost more than 20 years from Egypt, their separation and temptation against the Egyptians has never stopped. The Persian Governor of Minor Asia, Fana Bazos, has been rebuilding warships and convening soldiers for several years.

Although the spy returns: this year, the Persian Governor Fana Bazos was summoned by the Persian king and has led the troops to Babylon.

But Nectanibu never forgot: a few years ago, the Persian Governor led the army to burn and plunder in Egypt. Although it eventually lost, the losses suffered were not large, and they may come back at any time.

If it wasn’t for Nektanib’s slogan, he offered the slogan “Politeness of the Monks” (the Pharaoh of Harcourt’s reign for more than a decade, limiting the monks’ possession of too much land and farming) and receiving the support of the priests of the Egyptian temples. Therefore, the army of Nektanib was all the same, and even the army stationed in Memphis surrendered to him. In just a few months, he quickly stabilized Lower Egypt. As for the Upper Egypt centered on Thebes, it is still the world of the priests.

After Anthanos realized what Pharaoh really worried about, he immediately said solemnly: "Persian is far away from our Dionia, but also has its minions in the Western Mediterranean. - Carthage, this Phoenician Sub-states have been sending the gold and silver digging from the Iberian peninsula to Tyre for decades, thus providing the Persian king with funds for expansion and aggression, and thus become extremely rich.

As a new kingdom, we have signed a friendly agreement with Carthage more than ten years ago, and we have secretly supported the surrounding of Dionia. The forces are constantly confronting Dionia. After its conspiracy was defeated one after another, the Carthaginians actually tore up the friendly agreement with our Dionia and threatened to wage war against Dionia. Therefore, Dionia is willing to form an alliance with Egypt to help each other and resist the aggression of Persia and its affiliated forces! ”

Pharaoh Nektanib was surprised because he had just received the news and he had not received any news. He is an understanding of Carthage, a powerful city-state established by the Phoenicians in the Western Mediterranean. Their merchant ships often pass through the seas of Egypt, and even often trade with the towns along the coast of Egypt. The Egyptians even early As you know, some Carthage ships carry gold and silver, but they never have an intercepted mind. Because the Egyptian army is not strong, the navy is weaker. Except that the Egyptians do not love sailing, there is no dense forest in Egypt. The important reason is that the Egyptians can only make small papyrus boats. If they want to have large wooden warships, they can only buy them from abroad.

Therefore, Pharaoh Nektaneb immediately asked with concern: "I heard that Carthage is very powerful and has a strong navy. If Deonia and Carthage have a war, can you win?"

"Prestige Pharaoh!" Ansitanos said with a smile: "Thirty years ago, the Greek tyrant of the Western Mediterranean, Syracuse, defeated Carthage in succession, forcing him to sign a humiliating peace. But this defeated Cana. Syracuse of Taiji suffered a fiasco when attacking our Dionia. We defeated the powerful navy of Syracuse through a positive naval battle. We defeated the powerful army of Syracuse through a positive battle. In the end, Syracuse became an ordinary city-state on Sicily.

Nowadays, the land and population of our country in Dionia have increased several times more than ten years ago. How can Carthage be our opponent! The sneaky Carthaginians only saw that we had suffered a drought this year, and there was not enough food to supply the army, so we dared to declare war! ”

The words of Ansitanos were very emotional, and the words secretly clarified the dilemma that Dionia is now facing.

Pharaoh Nektanib is sinking, and the minister who spoke to him suddenly interjected: "Egypt and Dionia became alliances. If one day, the Persian army invaded Egypt, Dionia would send troops, not far away. Going to Egypt to fight the Persians?"

Ansitanos put on a proud gesture and replied: "When we were founded, we were once invaded by the allies, and we were threatened with extinction and declared war on powerful enemies. In Dionys In the nearly 20-year history of the founding of the country, more than half of the wars that occurred occurred because of the aggression of the allies. In order to fulfill the covenant, Dionia had to fight against powerful enemies again and again. Fortunately, In the end, they all won.

If you ask a person from the Western Mediterranean, what is the biggest advantage of the Kingdom of Dionia? He will tell you, ‘Dyonia keeps its promise and never abandons its allies! ’”

"I have heard from the Greek merchants in the city of Nowkatis..." Pharaoh Nektanib spoke. When he was a general, he heard this rumor and learned about the messenger of Dionia. After the arrival, he moved the mind of the alliance. The strength of the Egyptian army was not strong. It was only a few years ago that it was supported by more than 2,000 Greek mercenaries to hold the line of defense. And the same military force is stronger, more committed to the promise, and alliances with countries far from Egypt, he believes that Dionia is the best choice for Egypt's alliance.

The things that King Davers had insisted on and preached on the distant Egypt had splendid flowers, which Ansantanos did not expect, but he was delighted.

Pharaoh Nektanib took the right to the ground and said, "In order to reward the great gift of King Davers, I will use the wheat of the hundred ships as a rebate! And after the alliance between Egypt and Dionia, Egypt will continue to supply cereals free of charge to Dionia to solve the problem of the lack of food for the people of Dionia!"

Ancitanus, who has always been conserved, is also difficult to control the joy of his face.

For the Pharaohs and ministers present, they did not feel that it was a big loss. Food, Egypt is more. With the blessing of the Nile River, Egypt has abundance and high yields. The vast Egyptian farmers have to pay most of the harvest. The barns and temples in the towns are full of collected grain, and even moldy because of the long stacking.

After finalizing the alliance, Pharaoh Nektanib also invited Ansitanos to lunch together in the garden of the palace.

After the garden, Ansitanos widened his eyes and showed him a huge artificial lake in front of him. The lake was full of smoke, lotus leaves and lotus blossoms. The lakeshore was a lush garden, which can be seen from abroad. All kinds of exotic flowers, rare birds and animals...

Pharaoh Nektanib had an Anthanos dining on a huge wooden boat in the lake, eating wine and food, talking about ancient times, and beautiful maids dancing...

For a while, the guest and the host were happy.

................................................

While the Ethiopian Foreign Minister Ansitanos arrived in Egypt, an important meeting was taking place in the town hall of Katane City, Sicily.

Participants included Prosous, the head of the Eighth Army of Dionia, Leo Tizis, the naval commander of the Third Fleet, and the Chief Executive of the Katana, Sipros, Naxos Administration Chief Milong, Messina Chief Executive Amiclis, Sikuri Chief Executive Apirosia, Hera Chief Executive Krelu, Herbita Chief Executive... In addition, there are two alliance cities, Banglioti Nicholas and Tony's chief general participated.

It is reasonable to say that is the head of each city, and there is not much difference in the position. It is a clever way to refer to the many innovations of King Davers in the past to deal with government affairs. Round table, so there is no high score. However, Cipros was the first in the venue, and Prosuos was close to the left side. This made the chief executives who knew the character of the West Pros, stunned, but even if they were dissatisfied, they did not appear on their faces.

Sipnos looked around at everyone, and said: "You adults, you all know that a few days ago our first legion had gathered north to help the Wolsey and resist the Romans. If the Carthaginians fulfilled them, they were tearing up. As stated in the agreement, they will soon declare war on us and send troops to Sicily. In fact, all the signs returned from Carthage indicate that the Carthaginians are indeed preparing for the whole army! Understand the preparations for our Sicily, so that the Majesty and the Senate can control the overall situation of the war and develop a better strategy. Under the command of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Felicius will come to Sicily to inspect. Please welcome the Master Felicius. turn up!"

The chief executives are all a glimpse: Felicius came to Sicily, and they were not notified in advance!
