Vol 8 Chapter 157: Printos's worries

Daves paused and said: "The second is the sailor. A three-layer paddle ship requires nearly 200 sailors. If a fleet has 100 three-layer paddles, it will require nearly 20,000 sailors. The Navy is a military force that needs a large population to support it. The Phoenicians and the Carthaginians are not a populous race. Even if it uses the Numidians to act as sailors, the Numisians are not A maritime race, and the nature is relatively loose, will inevitably reduce the combat capability of the Carthage Navy. And we --"
Davers smiled: "There is no official citizen or reserve citizen. Once the Navy begins to recruit new sailors, the free people will clamor and join in, and they hope to become citizens of the kingdom as soon as possible.

Daves said that Tolmid and Midolades laughed, and Davers’s words completely dispelled their concerns. Only Princetons didn't laugh, it seemed to have some thoughts.
Davers noticed, so he asked: "Printoles, what advice do you have, let's say it."
Printos pondered for a while and whispered: "Your Majesty, although from the current situation, we have an advantage in Sicily, but Carthage failed in the battle, and then the fleet lost in naval battles and storms. The failure of repeated failures will inevitably cause the Carthaginians to panic. If they do not consider summing, they must do their utmost to win in the next battle. In this way, the Sicilian forces led by Prossous I am afraid that the number of soldiers will be more, the fighting spirit will be stronger, and it will never be the Carthage army that the mediocre generals will serve as the commander--"
"Wait!" Tormide interjected: "Our fleet has occupied the maritime advantage of Sicily and can completely cut the route of Carthage to Sicily. Carthage is difficult to form even if it is formed." Landing in Sicily."
"It is difficult for the Carthage army to land in Sicily, but it is not impossible. Although our fleet has an advantage, it is still not completely cut off the connection between Sicily and Carthage." Printos said calmly: "Sailors need food, water and rest. When the warship arrives at night, it is best to drag it into the military port and carry out maintenance and maintenance in order to maintain its good combat state... In Sicily, except for the Catania military port, there is only Moxi in the north. In the south, only the Allies, Agrigento, and Gera have a perfect military port for our fleet to stay well, so if our Sicilian fleet departs from Messina or Agrigento in the morning, we will visit Sicily. I am afraid that I will have to go back in the afternoon when I am at the western end...
Moreover, the number of Sicilian fleets has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to divide into two or three submarines with strong combat power to take turns patrolling. The Carthaginians still have time to transport materials and reinforcements to Sicily.

"The Sicilian fleet can send the Clippers to take turns monitoring in the western waters of Sicily -" Tolmid argued halfway and suddenly realized that it was wrong: even if the Clippers found the enemy, they also needed to return to the military port report, and when the fleet arrived again. The Carthage fleet is probably already in the harbour.
So he changed his mouth and said: "Like Serinus and Minoa, it is not impossible to station some warships. Are you right? Mido Lades."
In the face of the eyes cast by Tormid, as a naval commander, Midolades did not dare to speak in front of Davers. He seriously thought about it and said: "From the battle report, Serinu There is no military port, and the warship can indeed be used for short-term stays in ordinary ports. However, if it does not work for a long time, it will damage the life of the ship and affect its combat effectiveness. Of course, the Sicilian army can also build simple in Serinus. The military port, but that takes time."
Midorades’s phrase
When the warship stays in the ordinary port for too long will damage the life of the warship
, it is also said to Daves, so he intentionally aggravated the tone, but he immediately removed the topic: As far as I know, the best military port at the western end of Sicily is in Lili."
Tolmid immediately shook his head: "Lili is the important military town of Carthage in Sicily. Just like the original Motiya, it is difficult to attack it with the existing strength of Prossous.

At this time, Printos went on to the topic and said: "Prusous has even succeeded in the Lien Chan, but the enemy has concentrated on the two towns of Lili and Palemos. Just now, Tommy has already It is very clear that although Prossous took advantage of Lili, he could decide the victory of Sicily, but since we can't add a lot of troops to the Sicilian army, it is impossible to rely on the Eighth Army. Attacking other towns is not only of little significance, but also distracts forces, so it should be said that the Sicilian army has not attacked it until now."
Speaking of this, Printos said earnestly: "Your Majesty, it is time to let the Sicilian army change its strategy!"
Tommed and Midorades were shocked. Daves did not look the same, but sat in the same place, silent for a long time without a word, he knew in his heart: Printos was euphemistically reminding him, The previous instructions to Prosuos were wrong.
At the beginning of the battle with Carthage, because the focus of the attack was to Rome, Daves was cautious about the Sicilian war, so he would order Prusous to keep Sicily at the very beginning. The territory of the kingdom, but the Eighth Army triumphed over the Carthage army in the Minoa battle. The Navy won the battle at Cerro Dimm, and he realized that the Carthaginians were outside the strong, so he changed his strategy: let Sicily When Lu Haijun attacked with all his strength and attempted to defeat the enemy, he could overcome the power of Carthage in Sicily and gain more chances for the next battle with Carthage.
Even deep inside, Davers hopes that Prossous will be able to create a miracle and completely drive away the power of Carthage in Sicily.
The war has been going on until now, except for the storm, the Sicilian army's attack is still smooth, in line with their own expectations... But have they become too optimistic because of successive successes? After all, that is Carthage! Davers looked at the chief of staff he admired. He understood what Printols said: he was obviously reminding himself that the Sicilian army led by Prossous did not conquer the western end of Sicily. The ability, on the other hand, may be in a dangerous situation because of the in-depth strength of the army and the lack of strength.
Printols’s reminder that Daveus thought of the Iberian army that had not suffered any losses so far, thought that the failure of Carthage’s success would probably allow the Magonid family to regain control of the rights of Carthage. They are no more aggressive than Hanno, they are more focused on Sicily, but also have more experience in warfare. It can be seen from the Iberian army that it can capture the city of Cerro Dimm. It is quite combative.
But according to Davis's understanding of Carthage over the years, it takes time for Carthage to build a large army again. The veterans of the Carthage Senate are going to wriggle each other, and this time will continue to delay, even if that Marco can let the army finally land in Sicily, at least a month or two later, and it is a pity that it is only a long time for Prosuous to retreat and defend! With the ability of the young commander, he can completely mess up the situation in the western end of Sicily, and let the Carthage army even need to spend more energy and time to stabilize the situation and win more for the kingdom even if they land. time……
Devers thought about it, and eventually he couldn't make up his mind, so he said: "Tell us about Plooseus and let him be vigilant. It is up to him to continue attacking or to retreat. It is his decision. After all, he It is the commander of the Sicilian battlefield!" Prosuos repeatedly created miracles and won the victory, making Davers choose to believe in his ability.
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Tormed, his eyes turned to Princetons next to him, feeling a bit envious and embarrassed: as far as he knew ~EbookFREE.me~Davis was on the military The decisions made were rarely modified by the persuasion of others, but this time they made compromises...
Thormide was thinking, but Davers looked at Princetons and said with a serious tone: "A proposal like this should be raised directly, instead of waiting for me to ask questions! The war is related to the country. Life and death, modesty and courtesy may cause hundreds of soldiers to lose their lives, understand?!"
Printos looked a glimpse, and then shyly said: "Understood, kneel, next time I will pay attention!"
Tolmid once again cast an envious look on him.
.......................................
After the military conference, Davers again summoned the new kingdom of the kingdom - his big nephew Alcibidas, and Turri's shipbuilder Micres.
These two are famous big businessmen in the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of Dionia. Davers called them. Of course, they hope that they can take the lead and cooperate with the kingdom, speed up the construction of the warships, and hope that they are due to the treasury. Can agree that the kingdom can temporarily owe their shipbuilding expenses, of course, the kingdom will also give them corresponding compensation after the war, such as: the ban on them to relax the felling trees...
For Mickris, Davers also focused on Enani Luz, who had already been released from prison and stayed at home. He stressed that the mistakes made by Enanilus have been punished enough, and now The kingdom has been expanding, and officials at all levels have always been inadequate. En Anilus was once a veteran, and he served as a naval commander. He has rich administrative experience and can fully come out to serve the kingdom.
After listening to Davers, Mickris was so excited that he immediately said that after he went back, he would fully persuade Enanilus to come out to do things.
