Vol 8 Chapter 324: Seclair's Revenge Plan

The fastest update to the latest chapters of the ancient Greek Mediterranean hegemon!
These Phoenician towns are full of fear.
Not long after, the towns around Saros welcomed the messengers of Dionia, and made a tough request: let them immediately surrender to Dionia, otherwise the army will attack, the Saros are their end!
The actual rulers of these towns, the Carthage, did not die in the battle, but were trapped in St. Ibania because of the road being blocked. The town hall officials who lost their command were overwhelmed, and the people could not wait. .
................................................
Although Molbal won a naval battle, his mood was not pleasant, but heavier, not because the casualties of the Carthage merchant sailors who served as bait were too high, but he discovered the strength of the Dionysian Navy. Strong, so after he returned to the port of Carthage, when the people cheered for the hard-won sea battle victory, he wrote a letter to the Senate.
In the letter, he outlined the whole process of the naval battle and then highlighted: He believes that the Diorian Navy now surpasses Carthage in overall strength, and its tactics are also ahead of Carthage. The training, fighting spirit and ability of the crew of the Denia are better than the Carthaginian navy. In a short time, the Carthage Navy cannot regain the dominance of the western Sicilian waters. The war continues and may even be lost. The control of the coast of Afrika, Carthage directly faces threats from the sea. For the safety of Carthage, it should be temporarily negotiated with Dionia to win time, rebuild the Taiji Navy, develop new naval tactics for the Diorian Navy, and strengthen training so as to regain the dominance of the sea in the future...
When the content of this letter was read in the Senate, it suddenly caused an uproar in the venue.
For the first time, someone said such a straightforward truth, based on the reputation of Molbal and his position in the navy, what he said is more credible, but he has always been self-proclaimed as the "Western Mediterranean Sea Power" of Carthage. The fig leaf was ripped off, which made many veterans very dissatisfied with this. In particular, he also mentioned that
there was a discussion with Dionya
, and it touched the counter-scale of some people.
The Magonid, headed by Preta Kuba, slammed it. They criticized that Molbal was too old and completely lacked the courage of youth. When both countries spent huge amounts of resources, gathered such a huge army, and were about to fight an unprecedented war to determine the destiny of the country, he said If these words of the morale of the people are shaken, if they do not know that he has made many contributions to Carthage in the past few decades, he will surely think that he is a traitor to Carthage and wants to sell the interests of Carthage, so he In such an important war, Moerbal, who is already timid in his heart, is no longer worthy of being the commander of the Carthage Navy.
The Hanno faction headed by Hanno is to support Morbar. They strongly praised Morbar, whether it was so many achievements in the past for Carthage, or now he knows that these words will be detrimental to his past prestige, but he still bravely said it. He is a true patriot. Among the citizens of Carthage, there is no more experienced and more knowledgeable naval general than Moorbar. Even he thinks so. This shows that the Carthage Navy is indeed at a disadvantage. If so, it should be just getting Before the victory of a naval battle, and before the obvious decline, it was the most correct and least selfish approach to peace with Diaonia.
The neutrals showed some differences on this issue. The young elders, led by El Akra, believe that Carthage has spent a lot of money on this war. When the war is about to take place and the outcome is decided, it will suddenly be negotiated. This will not only let the move The city-state people are puzzled and will welcome the protests of the nobility, and the Senate will not be able to explain to the citizens. And since Marco was the commander of the Carthaginian army, there have been no failures in the battle with the Dionysian army (they apparently did not count the night attacks of Serenus), perhaps the Carthage Navy The Dionysian Navy is worse, but the army of Marco's commander is stronger than the Dionysian Army. Otherwise, why is the Dionyrian army not taking the initiative to attack us? As long as the army in Sicily can win the battle, the whole situation will be very different. When it is time, it will be, and we will have more initiative.
The old veterans headed by Es Yaluba are vaguely suggesting that they can send messengers to the dynasty of Dionia in the name of peace, first to understand the attitude of the Dionians towards peace and their mention. Conditions, then get back to the Senate for discussion.
In fact, Es Yaruuba feels that the Diaonians are strong in diplomacy. Under the current situation, the conditions they will raise will be more demanding, and the people of Carthage will not accept it. Dispel the attempt of the veterans headed by the Hanno faction in the Senate to compromise, so that the entire Senate can work together to face this war.
But Hanno’s idea is: Previously, Creeton also mentioned reconciliation, but everyone was when he was telling jokes. This time, it was proposed that even if it did not succeed in the end, it could leave a mark on the hearts of the veterans. When the next time there is a change in the situation, let him talk about it, then the possibility of success is great.
Since "consulting with Dionya" is a very important issue, the veterans have been arguing over the past few days and cannot make a decision.
However, they did not forget the business, and sent people to remind Morbar: the letters he wrote, the elders already knew, and discussed this. As the commander of the navy, he should put more energy into how to lead the fleet to protect the route between the west and the west of Sicily, and more to destroy the warships of Dionia.
Morbal was very unhappy to drive the messengers of the Senate out of the Carthage military port.
................................................
As one of the founders of the Dionysian Navy, Seclín has not lost in the past 10 years and is quite popular among the people. He is also supported by the crew in the Navy, although later Daves intends to carry him out. Some suppressed, built four major fleets without a commander, but could not suppress his inner confidence and pride, but this time the sea battle, he was led by the Carthage people to the end, to the end of the Carthage To achieve the true purpose, he is still in the drums, but he can imagine what kind of grievances and remorse in his heart.
After returning from Miloa, he locked himself in the bedroom and stayed alone for a long time.
At dusk, he walked out of the door and let the guards immediately inform the various fleets of the Sicilian fleet to come to the meeting.
Three people, such as Stefacas, rushed in.
After Seckley saw them, they immediately told them what they knew from King Davers.
The three men looked at each other and couldn’t tell the surprise, especially Stefacas. He never thought that: when he led the submarine team to pursue the Carthage merchant ship in the sea of ​​the multi-island, In the north not far from him, the Carthaginians boldly used thousands of merchant ships to transport the Sicilian army, and they were not aware of it!
Seklely looked at the three people who had been hit hard. Shen Sheng said: "This time we have suffered a failure, but this does not blame you. The responsibility is mainly with me. I am too rigid to perform the tasks given by Daveus, obviously. The strength of the Sicilian fleet occupies a great advantage, but only patrols the Sicilian waters, which is equivalent to the original attack to become a defense, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to defend in the vast sea, and then encounter the deceitful enemy. Let us be very passive!
Since the establishment of the Dionysian Navy, even at the weakest time, it is a victory based on a bold attack rather than a conservative defense. The offense is the nature of our Dionia navy, so I decided to change the previous practice. Proactively attacking Carthage and its Phoenician allies, attacking their territory in Afrika, changing our passive situation and boosting the morale of the entire fleet!

The three listened, and the spirit was alive, but there were some concerns: "Adults, His Majesty let us concentrate on blocking the Sicilian waters. If we attack, we can no longer cruise, and we know that we have not executed his orders. That is --


Don't worry!
Seklely said confidently:
I remember that my Majesty once said ~EbookFREE.me~ Offense is the best defense.
As long as we engage in several successful raids, the Carthage will worry. Their local security, no longer let their fleets away from the coast of Afrika, will make it difficult for the generals of the Carthage fleet to judge whether our Sicilian fleet's actions are offensive or cruising, which is more conducive to our blockade of the Sicilian waters!
In addition, as far as I know, Carthage has never been attacked in the territory and allies of Afrika. If we succeed, it will be a great honor, and the Carthaginians will be greatly shaken. Maybe it will change the stalemate in Sicily today, and it will have a more favorable impact on us!

After Seclair was criticized by Devers, he thought about it for a long time, and considered it more comprehensively. He said his thoughts with confidence and emphasized: "I have sent a messenger and rushed to Minoa to take me. The new plan tells His Majesty that he will definitely approve it."
The three divisions were immediately convinced by him, and Stifakas eagerly asked: "Adult, where are you going to attack?"
Sekleian will point the map to the table that he has prepared.
The three of them looked around and couldn’t help but exclaim: "Hadrumentum?!"
