v8 Chapter 53： Sicily's strategic deployment (1)

At this time, Felicius strode into the venue, nodded to everyone, smiled, and refused to give up Cypress to give up the Lord, but stood beside him.

Milon saw this situation and could not help but frown.

Felicius looked around at everyone and said humblely: "Before I came, my Majesty once told me seriously, 'Go to Sicily, you can only bring your eyes and ears!'. So, I am not here to supervise everyone, Not to interfere with any of your deployment, and what needs and suggestions you have can be passed to me and to the Senate and the Senate.

But before you have a meeting, I have signed two important public appointments with my Majesty and the Senate to announce! "Fillius said this, his expression became serious, and his right hand raised a roll of Shahe paper tied with a black rope.

The eyes of the people immediately focused on it, only Sipros and Leo Tizides remained calm, because they had already known the content beforehand.

Felicius unveiled Shakespeare and read aloud: "In view of the fact that Carthage may have made a major offensive against Sicily, in order to better concentrate all the powers of Sicilian cities and allies, it is more effective and faster for combat troops. Providing logistical assistance and support to better coordinate the defenses between cities. After discussions with the Senate, I decided to appoint Sipros as the wartime governor of the Sicilian region of the Kingdom of Dionia and as the administrator of Katanay. The sergeant, who is responsible for all administrative affairs in Sicily, actively cooperates with the combat troops to fight against the Carthaginians, hoping that the Sicilian city chiefs will comply with the Governor’s administrative orders. The summer name - King Daphus!"

As soon as Philisius finished reading, there was a slight sigh and breathing in the venue: the governor of wartime! This is a top-level official position with a power much larger than that of the Chief Executive. Since the founding of the country, Dionya has appeared for the second time. It is precious. The last wartime governor, Sedore, has long been one of the five rotating presidencies of the Senate, and he often participates in the important proceedings of the palace.

Everyone looked at the West Pulos with envious eyes, and Felicius handed the appointment to Milon on the right side of Cipros, letting him pass down to see the truth.

Milon’s complex look at the paper roll, the two seals of King Duffus and the Senate clearly glimpsed. Although he had a flaw in his heart, he had to admit: Sipros compared with himself. The advantage of being a wartime governor is even greater. After all, the Katanai he is in charge of has far more population and land than other towns in Sicily. Katana has replaced Syracuse as the largest city in Sicily. . Moreover, Sipros has been in Sicily for seven years and is more familiar with the situation than himself.

After all, Milon had been fighting alongside Sipros. They had a good relationship with each other. After Naxos took office, he also got a lot of help from Sipros, so he gave a sigh of relief and said softly: "I have no objection. ”

As the chief executive of Dionya's second largest city in Sicily, Milon, whose qualifications and merits are equally prominent, said that others would not object.

Felicius once again took out a paper roll.

The eyes of everyone suddenly became hot: Who will be this time? ! What is the position? !

"The appointment of the head of the Eighth Corps, Prosuous, to the Sicilian commander, is responsible for commanding all of the Sionian Army and its allies, and fighting the Carthaginians. The signature - Davers."

The content of this appointment is very brief, because it is a military appointment, Davis can make a direct decision without going through the Senate, and in Sicily there is only a senior army officer of Prosuos, and other administrative officials will not Fight with him, Davers does not need to explain in detail.

Therefore, after listening to the audience, there is no strange emotion, just a slight loss: the appointment is over?

After Reading, Felicius turned to look at the Ortizids, who was the first senior general to be appointed as the commander, but the failure of the Battle of Lamato, but his military career was cast aside. Shadow, facing the backwards, there is only hope and encouragement in his eyes: "Congratulations, the leader of the Prosous! I hope that you will win the victory in the Sicilian war under the blessing of Hades!"

Prosuos nodded and expressed his gratitude. After receiving the letter of appointment, his face still had no expression, but his heart was stunned: After staying in Dionia for more than ten years, he finally achieved the regional commander - this In the highest position of the Dionysian army (the chief commander and commander can only be King Daves), able to command tens of thousands of soldiers to fight, will never be less than a Spartan king!

"Thank you for your trust in His Majesty and the Senate! Now, as Carthage tears up the friendly agreement, Sicily is not only the territory of our Dionya, but the other Greek city-states will suffer a huge crisis! I hope, can get The adults and their friendly city-states assisted in helping the Prososus commander to defeat the ambitions of the Carthaginians who wanted to touch Sicily!" The newly appointed wartime governor, Cipros, expressed his passionate statement: " Next, I would like to ask the commander of Prososus to conduct a pre-war military analysis."

Leo Tizides immediately stood up and walked to the wall and hung up the large map of Sicily. He took the slender wooden stick on the wall and said, "Everyone, according to the analysis of the Ministry of Military Affairs, according to Carthage The current national strength, it can at least send 100,000 troops, if you count the army in the hands of the Governor of the Iberian Peninsula, Marco, at least it can invest 150,000 troops to Sicily -"

150,000 people? ! Everyone present, including Milon, couldn’t help but stunned.

"Of course, although the number of the Carthaginian army is large, their soldiers are far less powerful than our corps. More than half of their soldiers are Numidians, Mauritanians, Iberians, and other places. The mercenary...” Leo Tiddides continued: “I don’t think Carthage can invest so many troops in one go, no more than 100,000 people!”

This figure is the result of Leo Tiddides' reference to the two wars of the previous Syracuse of Carthage and Dionysius. He used a wooden stick to point the map to the western end of Sicily: The army of the base is likely to land in Lili俾 or Erlux. They have two offensive routes. One is along the northern coastline of Sicily and marches toward Messina. There are not many Greek city-states on this road. Strong, but the northern mountains are dense and dense, the coastline is narrow, the troops cannot be unfolded, and the Carthaginians cannot take advantage of the many people. When Dionysius took a big advantage in the army, he along the northern coastline to the north. When Taiji attacked, it took a long time, so I think that the northern coastline will not be the main offensive direction of the Carthaginians.

The other offensive route is the coastline in the south of Sicily. The terrain is relatively flat and can accommodate the expansion of the army. It used to be the main offensive line of the Carthage and Syracuse troops. I think this time is no exception. ”

Leo Tiddides said affirmatively that the wooden sticks in his hands were on the map in turn: "Minoa, Agrigento, Gera, Kamanlina... Although there are many Greek city-states on the southern coastline, The strength is also relatively strong, but I don't think they can withstand the attack of the Syracuse army for a long time, and I am not prepared to send troops to reinforce these city-states."

When the words were spoken, there was a whisper in the venue.

The Chief Executive of Messina, Ami Klis, raised an objection: "These Greek city-states have not established alliances with us in the light, but they have always maintained friendly relations with our kingdom, trades frequently, and have been active many times. Cooperate with some of our actions in Sicily, such as against the Sikels, and the isolation of Syracuse...so they can be regarded as de facto alliances. Once the war happens, they will definitely ask our Dionya for help. According to the traditional methods of the kingdom, how can we let go!"

The words of Amigris spoke out the voices of the chief executives present. After all, during their tenure, they got along well with the high-level officials of these Greek city-states.

Leo Tizides was unmoved and said coldly: "Since there is no alliance agreement, there is no violation of the covenant. Our army in Sicily is not many, and the Eighth Army plus the reserve is more than 20,000. If people make emergency mobilization, the number can increase to about 50,000. But if so, the young and old of the kingdom in the Sicilian territory will be almost completely removed, which will seriously affect the winter planting that is about to begin and the daily order of the entire region. I think this is not what the Chief Executive wants to see, and it is not what you want to see!

What's more, Even if you have gathered so many troops and went to the reinforcements of Jela or Agrigento, it is easy to form a stalemate with the army of Syracuse. On the one hand, the pressure of food supply caused by long-term stalemate, can we afford the cities in Sicily? On the other hand, the grain transportation line has been stretched, and the troops in the territory have been emptied. Once the raids of foreign enemies are encountered, it will be a disaster for the troops we dispatched and the cities in the territory! ”

The crowd was touched by the heavy tone of Leotizes, and the more attention they attracted was that the wooden stick in the hands of Leo Tizides pointed to a city icon on the map, Syracuse.

"Siracusa, the only city-state in the Greek city-state of Sicily that does not travel with us, has a weak strength and occupies an important strategic position in the east. A few days ago, it did not give us the messengers who sent us to the alliance. In response, I can see that there is resentment against Dionya in my heart. According to the information we received, we saw the presence of Carthage people in the port area of ​​Syracuse these two days. This cannot but arouse our vigilance! Beware of Syracuse as Tarantum in the South Italian War!"
