Vol 8 Chapter 156: Daves' reaction to the Sicilian naval battle

Camilles said: "... Fortunately, the people in the city did not give in. The veterans led them to Capitolin, and they kept our temples, and many people who fled Rome did not sleep in front. In the far wilderness, they can endure difficulties, fail to yield, and believe in you. The warriors of Rome and the Allies can drive away the enemy and retake Rome. But if you can’t unite together, you can’t strictly enforce the discipline of the army and not obey the command. Indiscriminately, like a loose sand, we can't defeat the powerful enemy of Dionia! At that time, Rome can't take it back, and the loved ones become slaves, they can never see each other, and you are not killed or become A wild dog that can be returned home, a slave that is randomly captured by aliens. Are you willing to do that?!"
"I don't want to!!" The officers and squadron leaders shouted first.
The soldiers were also shocked by the tragic prospects described by Camillaus, and they also shouted.
When the shouting gradually merged into a torrent of sound, Camillaus squatted down the city, his hands raised, and headed high to the sky, shouting loudly: "Jupiter, we will be like the original Defeating the Celtics, defeating the Dionyns will never let the aliens tarnish your temple, so please bless us!"
Not long after he shouted, he heard the rumbling of a "rumbling" on the cliff behind the town of Hignia. A huge mountain rock accompanied by gravel, rolled down the hillside, and finally "bang" On the open space on the side of the city of Signia.
The officials first excitedly shouted: "It is a god! Zhabit responded!!"
Then the soldiers reacted and joyfully swept away the haze on their faces. They hurriedly bowed their heads and prayed to the Jupiter.
The miracles of Jupiter shook the Roman soldiers present. They were also in a state of ignorance and overwhelming. They quickly unified their understanding and began to shout the slogan of "repelling the enemy and retaking the Romans." So Camilles led them. The posture of the mourning soldier quickly entered the Priest.
At dusk, after the army arrived in Prinist, the situation became a bit confusing: the officers were busy setting up the camp and arranging the soldiers to rest; the Romans who lived here had a brain, and the soldiers flocked to the past. Both sides are eager to find their loved ones in the crowd. When I saw my loved ones, I was very fortunate and thanked Jupiter for the blessing. If I didn’t see my loved ones, I was secretly hurt... but the bad situation of the exiled people made the soldiers more desperate to recapture Rome.
The dictator Camillaus first went to see the top of Prinister, thanking them for their great help to Rome.
Then he quickly summoned Mejis, Quintus, and Freuz, and gave them a detailed understanding of the process of the destruction of the Dionyrian army.
................................................
While welcoming the arrival of the kingdom's administrative staff, Davers received the reports and proposals sent to him by the Senate and the Ministry of Military Affairs about Sicily.
He never imagined that the huge Sicilian fleet was destroyed by a storm, which made the maritime advantage of Dionynia in Sicily less powerful, and also made Dionya and Carthage A certain change may occur in the war. For this reason, Davers first convened a military conference.
The meeting was attended by the staff of the staff of Tormid, Princeton and the commander of the third fleet, Midolades.
Davers looked grimly at the three people and said, "You all read the battle report, what do you think?"
Tormide coughed and said: "Your majesty, this storm destroyed more than half of the warships in the kingdom, but it also destroyed almost all the ships of Carthage. From the results, it is not too bad. We still occupy the advantage of the sea. And the Ministry of Military Affairs proposes to transfer the fourth fleet of Brindisi to Sicily, plus the dozens of warships left by the Sicilian fleet. So we count in Sicily. The advantage of the sea is bigger than before. It will become more difficult for Carthage to transport reinforcements and supplies to Sicily. Our victory in Sicily will become more stable!"
Deavers tapped his finger on the table and said with a sinking voice: "If you transfer the fourth fleet on the east coast of Greece, will it let Sparta and the remnants of the former Puccity and Mesapi who escaped to the Greek mainland? Do you think there is something to be done?"
"According to intelligence, after the riots in Thebes and the control of Sparta, there will be another war in China and Greece. How many city-states will this war join and how long will it last? We cannot make accurate judgments now. But Sparta obviously can't get out of this war in a short time, they have no spare time to fight the kingdom's idea. As for the enemies who fled to the Greek mainland, their number is too small, and the political situation in Apulia is stable. They can't make a big mess," Tolmide said confidently.
Davers sighed and nodded.
Mido Lades interjected: "Although the adults of Tolmide are right, the transfer from the fourth fleet will still bring hidden dangers to the Apulian region, not to mention the commander of Alexis is now leading. All the troops in Puglia defend against the attack of the Samonet. If at this time, it would be more troublesome to make some troubles in the rear. Would it be better to transfer some of the ships of our Third Fleet to Sicily?"
Davers looked at him, and said a moment later, "In this military plan to attack Rome and the Latin region, your third fleet is very important. It must cooperate with the army and must not be easily dismantled! Although the third fleet is still Just work as a escort, but then you may have to play a bigger role! Mido Lades, you don't want to be distracted! However, if you want to go to the Sicilian fleet, I can approve it as appropriate."
The words of Daves made Midorad a cold sweat and hurriedly stated: "Your Majesty, I will lead the Third Fleet to fully protect the maritime safety of the army. Please rest assured!"
Davers looked a little stunned and turned to Thormed. "Agree with the advice of the military department, then transfer the fourth fleet to Sicily. However, you must remind Alexis to strengthen the east coast of the Apulia region. Defense, to prevent other enemies from chaos."
Having said that, he said with a heavy expression: "In addition... inform Prossous to increase the search for Seclean and Fralios, to see people, to die, to see the dead! Even if they really fight Dead, and must not let the senior kings and heroes of the two kingdoms be thrown into the wild, their homes can only be the Temple of the Spirit and the Temple of Death! As for the commander of the newly integrated Sicilian fleet... first of all Klein, if he... is gone, then it is Fralios. If Fralios is not there, let the fourth fleet of Miltias take it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tolmide replied, using a pen to record on the wooden board that he carried with him.
Davers sighed long: "The most horrible thing about this sea disaster is not the warship, but the crew of the dead... How many people died in this naval battle?"
Tormid immediately replied: "Now the preliminary statistics show that the number of dead crew members has exceeded 10,000."
After listening to Daves, he looked even more heavy: "More than 10,000 people! They are all sailors who are familiar with the Dionysian naval tactics and experienced sea battles. A storm is gone, and tens of thousands of families have no relatives... ...the Ministry of Military Affairs will send people to the military port of Tarantum, the military port of Castellón and the port of Catania to express condolences to the relatives of these dead sailors, to appease their sadness, and to start their post-war pension. discuss!"
"Understood, Your Majesty. I will write to the Military Department immediately and then sign you." Tolmide replied.
What Daves thought of, he asked: "What was the name of the naval general who led the warship in time, broke into the port of Serinus, and finally helped Prossous win the city?"
"Stefacas."
"Stefacas..." Daves recited the name and said with approval: "It is possible to preserve the fleet at such a critical moment, and to gain military exploits. It seems to be a decisive and flexible general!"
A few people in the room immediately felt envious of Stefacas: I can be named by Daves, and remember that the future will be great!
Daves turned his attention to Plintos, who had not spoken, and asked, "What do you think of the war in Sicily?"
"Your Majesty." Printoles reminded: "Although our navy now has an advantage in the Sicilian waters ~ EbookFREE.me~ But Carthage has been a maritime power in the Western Mediterranean for centuries, their shipbuilding capacity. According to intelligence, there are four large shipyards in the port of Carthage. The dozens of Phoenician coastal city states attached to it have strong shipbuilding capabilities. Once they are fully committed to building warships, I am afraid After a month, you will have a fleet of ships that will not lose to our fleet!"
"You are right!" Daves nodded and said seriously: "This is indeed a problem we should pay attention to! We must also speed up the progress, build new warships, and restore and strengthen our naval fleet. In order to deal with the maritime challenges that Carthage continues to follow, and thoroughly obtain the maritime hegemony of the Western Mediterranean! I will immediately write to the Senate to let them organize and mobilize the various coastal cities of Nanyi and start building warships!
But don't worry too much about it. Maybe Carthage has more shipbuilding techniques and more shipbuilders than us, but it has two fatal flaws that are destined to defeat the kingdom's navy!

The words of Davers attracted the attention of the three people. He extended and said slowly: "The first is wood. There are no tall trees on the land of Afrika. The source of the shipbuilding timber they can obtain is the Iberian Peninsula. But its well-developed shipbuilding industry is concentrated in Carthage and the surrounding Phoenician city states, which determines that they must first transport the wood from Iberia to Carthage before they can start building ships, which is time consuming and also time consuming. It is easy to be cut off the route and get into trouble.
There are numerous mountains in our territory, rich in timber resources, and they are located next to the coastal cities of Nanyi. This time, I will let the Senate temporarily release the ban on cutting trees and provide enough marine wood for each shipyard.
