Vol 8 Chapter 325: Davers's strategic adjustment

The fastest update to the latest chapters of the ancient Greek Mediterranean hegemon!
"Yes, Hadrumentum." Seklelyan said: "Don't look at it far away from us, but because of the long distance, the Carthaginians must be neglected. More importantly, the former Sicilian fleet After being attacked, the losses were serious. Even Miltias was killed. Later, the prisoners were told that the attacking our fleet came from the Phoenicians in the eastern continent, and their fleet was stationed here!"
Seklely clicked on Hadrumentum’s icon with a strong finger, and said with hate:
Since these East Phoenicians who have passed the Western Mediterranean in the future can successfully attack from Hadrumumtum. Our fleet, of course, we can also successfully attack Hadrumentum, destroy their remaining warships, capture them all, and avenge our dead brothers!"
The three listened and solemnly nodded.
As a result, the three men were actively preparing for Sekelly’s request.
......................................................
On the second day, in the camp of Minoria Dionya, Davers read the letter from Seclyan, and could not help but sigh: "This Seclyan, ready to take risks!"
After receiving the letter, Thormed took a look with Prindors and said with relief: "Your Majesty, Seclyn's idea is not in line with your next plan!"
"If the West Coast Fleet successfully attacked Hadrumumtum, maybe... The Carthage Senate would force the Sicilian armies to attack us." Printos also said with discretion.
"Since Seklelyn is willing to take risks, let him attack. When the third fleet arrives, let Mido Desto take on some cruising missions." Daves thought, solemnly said: "But to remind He, don't underestimate the fleet commander of Carthage, when raiding the coast of Afrika, you need to fully consider the various accidents and be well prepared..."
"I will write back to him," said Tolmide.
At this time, Martius walked into the big account: "Your Majesty, the letter sent by the Third Fleet."
Did Milados receive the order we issued so soon? ! Daves was subconsciously surprised, but he immediately understood: This is impossible, from Minora to Alenia for at least three days, even if it is to the Trina naval base, at least two Days, Midorades could not receive an order in such a short period of time and responded.
So he opened the letter with great curiosity and immediately exclaimed: "Midorades and Tagignos actually raided San Ibania of Sardinia and captured Saros!"
Thormed and Printos listened and rushed to see the battle report.
"This Mido Lades is very pleasant to surprise!" Daphus then sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Navy has a senior officer who can win the battle. This is the blessing of Hades, and it increases the victory of the kingdom over Carthage!" Printos is still pondering the battle report. Tommyd immediately congratulated Davis.
"This is really a happy worry!" Davers looked at him and asked: "Now the Third Fleet and the Ninth Army won such a big victory in Sardinia, let them continue in Sardinia. Does Nigeria expand its results? Or did it repatriate the Third Fleet as originally planned?"
"Your Majesty." Printos said with a discretion: "... From the battle report, the Third Fleet and the Ninth Army have smashed the only Phoenician army on the island of Sardinia, and also occupied Sa The ports of the important towns of Dinnia, Saros and St. Ibania, can be said to have successfully completed the task of "destroying Sardinia to transport precious metals to Carthage", the island of Ibania and Other Phoenician city-states, under the threat of the Ninth Army, could no longer risk metal smelting and transportation, and there is no more power on the island to compete with the more rigorous Ninth Army. Tagritos is stable. After the order of Sarros, it is entirely possible to continue to attack the nearby small Phoenician towns..."
"What you mean is... The Third Fleet's plan to transfer Sicily remains the same, and let the Ninth Legion independently undertake the task of conquering Sardinia." Davers pointed his finger on the back of the chair and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Daves indulged for a while, then whispered: "Carthage needs the precious metals of Sardinia to support their war, our treasury is in desperate need of gold and silver! Only Tagentinos only understands Do not know how to govern towns..."
He thought about it again, turned to look at the quiet record of Henipolis, and said loudly: "Herney, you immediately write to the Senate, so that they immediately elect the elders with strong government skills to serve as the administration of Sarros. Chief, his main task is to manage the Phoenician towns conquered by the Ninth Army, to restore precious metal production there, and to provide the Kingdom with ample Sardinian precious metals."
Governing the Phoenician towns conquered by the Ninth Army? In the unlikely event that the Ninth Army conquered all the Phoenician towns on the island of Sardinia, did the chief executive of Sarros not become the governor of Sardinia? ... Henipolis said that he wanted to remind Davers, but he changed his mind and dismissed his thoughts.
After all, as a half scholar, Henipolis read about the island of Sardinia. This time, following Davers, he knew some secrets: "...Carthage in order to better control Sardinian Ya, does not allow Sardinia's towns to have too strong a strength, so consciously control the population of each Phoenician town, the two most commonly used methods are: reducing food input and encouragement, and even forcing overpopulation The town built a colonial city, and the new towns were built on the continent of Afrika, within the control of Carthage, so in addition to the tens of thousands of Saros and Kalaris populations, other Phoenician towns in Sardinia The population is not tens of thousands, and even many urban populations are less than 5,000.
The reason why Sarros has a large population is not because they have fertile plains along the river, but because Carthage needs Saros to have enough population to provide labor for the smelting and transportation of precious metals in St. Ibania, and when St. Ibini suffers In the midst of a sudden danger, Sarros was able to provide swift protection of force nearby, and of course his power to send troops was in the hands of the Carthage.
As for Kalaris, it is because Carthage regards it as the main port of goods trade in Sardinia. Of course, it needs sufficient manpower to load and unload goods, transport goods to other towns, and provide accommodation for Carthage merchants. , entertainment and other services...
Therefore, according to the estimates of the Ionian intelligence department, the Phoenician population of the whole island of Sardinia is far from the population of Turui, and it is also like Crotone, Kataney and Tarantum. The population of Ayutthaya is almost the same... Perhaps this is the case, and it is enough for the Chief Executive to assume the position of a Chief Executive.

Henipolis looked at Davis, but he thought about it.
Daves certainly didn't know that Henipolis was thinking about so many things at this moment. He continued: "Tormid, you wrote a letter to the Ministry of Military Affairs, let Hilos think of ways to give Tegtinos sent three to four brigades of reserve soldiers to ensure that the Ninth Legion had enough troops to complete the conquest of Sardinia."
Tormide did not respond immediately, but wanted to stop.

Is there any problem?
Davers asked.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Military Affairs will send 4,000 additional soldiers to Sardinia. This should be no problem. But according to your assumptions, the 10,000 soldiers headed by the Ninth Army will probably stay in Sardinia for a long time. For a while, this will be a huge consumption of military food. Now the kingdom has done its best for the supply of military food to the Sicilian army..."
Davers showed a smile, and he said without hesitation: "It is because I know that the kingdom has done everything in its power to support this war, so I want Tegtinos to conquer Sardinia and wait until The chief executive of Sarros was in place, preparing the soldiers to arrive. The first offensive target of Tagentinos should be St. Ibania. After the attack, the chief executive reorganized the manpower~EbookFREE.me~ The ore, the smelting of the metal, and then the return of the precious metal to Turui, the kingdom’s national treasury has been supplemented, and this new money can be used to buy food from Cyrenaica, Egypt, and Xingxinghai, not only to satisfy Tiger. The supply of rations for more than 10,000 people in Tinos can greatly alleviate the financial burden of the kingdom... so I would like to highlight this issue in the letter to the Senate and the Ministry of Military Affairs."
Henipolis has already guessed the thoughts of Davers, so his expression is calm, and Tolmide and Printors have realized that Thormy has expressed his admiration for Davers's decision.
"To launch any war, we must serve the interests of the kingdom. If we only fight for war, even if we can win, but it is not good for us, then this war will not be necessary." Daves could not help but say more. One sentence, seeing the two thought thoughtfully, he paused a bit, then turned the subject: "The original plan was to transfer the third fleet, stationed on the north coast of Sicily, listen to the command of Seclyan, common The blockade of the western waters of Sicily. But now that Midorades is making new efforts, I will transfer the Third Fleet to Sicily at this time. Will it be a little dissatisfied with the command of Seclyan?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Mido Lades is not a person who is arrogant. He has never asked the Military Affairs Department any excessive demands. He should not have any dissatisfaction. Besides, Seclyan is his after all. Once the sir..." Tolmid was relieved.
