Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 6 Chapter 35: The new commander of the Dionysian Navy and the "Dyonia"

Seklely was in a tight heart and tried to ask: "Adult, are we going to fight?"

"The war will not happen, but it will be prepared. The public trial of Victory Square believes that you have heard it too. Syracuse has ambitions for us in Dionya." Daphus warned Seclerian as a naval general. Sexy and satisfied, looking at Sekkien with a dignified look: "If there is a war, how big is the victory of our entire Greek navy against the Syracuse Navy?"

Sekleian’s face also became nervous and dignified, but he could still maintain a clear-headed mind and said fluently: “Crottone can now piece together 20 three-layer paddles because of the previous war with Lockley. Warships, there are about ten ships in the West Chamber, about eight in Cologne, and five in Trina... As for the city-states in the Dionysian League, the Ligi Navy has the most three-layer paddles, possibly There are 30 ships, and Heraclia and Meta Pontum can make five ships. It is not bad. Laos has not mastered the technology of making three-layer paddles. Castellón and Elia have no three floors. Paddle warships, only small and medium warships... Oh, and Tarantum, I almost forgot it, it has about 25 three-layer paddles..."

Tarantum! This reminds Davers that in the past two years, the relationship between Dionia and it has been a stranger, but in the face of a bigger threat, Davers decided to improve relations with it.

"If you concentrate on the naval power of all the Greek city-states, there are about 130 three-layer paddles, plus small and medium-sized warships... probably nearly 250. According to previous news, Syracuse has three floors. There are nearly 400 ships in the paddles, and the total number of ships is probably more than 600. However, although the number gap is huge, we can't compete with Syracuse, just--"Seclyan is now melancholic:" The key is that these warships in the big Greek city-states are too scattered and can easily be broken by the enemy. Even if they can be brought together, they will easily lead to their own battles because of lack of training and unified command."

Daves pondered for a while and said: "If all these big Greek warships have been unified training and have a unified command, do you think this big Greek joint fleet can have a chance to defeat the Syracuse Navy? ?"

A fleet that has just been established and has not had experience in naval warfare actually wants to defeat the mighty Syracuse Navy? Sekleian was not shocked by the problems of Davers. Instead, after careful thinking, he said decisively: "I think it is ok! First of all, the sailors of the Dionysian Navy are very high-spirited, and adults know that Now, the quotas of the various infantry corps soldiers in Dionia are full. Many free people and some preparatory citizens who have registered in the household registration department are not willing to wait in the reserve team before they become sailors. These young men are eager to be like soldiers. As soon as possible to establish meritorious service, shorten their years, become a formal citizen as soon as possible, and get a share of the land, so their hard training, eagerly looking forward to the outbreak of war, they are more than anyone is eager to fight and victory."

Seklelyan clenched his fists and seemed to be cheering on himself. He continued to say aloud: "Secondly, although the Syracuse Navy is huge, it has not been brought together, but is parked in Syracuse and Ag. Rimini, Katana... Hey, now there is another Messina, so it’s a very time-consuming thing for Syracuse to bring all the ships together. We can seize the opportunity. Quickly breaking one or two sub-fleets can change the naval strength of both sides..."

Davers stared at the young man. He has the mind, the ability, and the vitality. He is brave in fighting and aggressive in the face of strong enemies. From his well-organized analysis, he has had deep thoughts on naval warfare, but not limited to one. The position of the fleet is only to train soldiers, cruise, etc. This is a naval talent!

Davers finally made up his mind in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "You are very good! Our Dionysian infantry has always been weak and strong, and we have today's Dionysian League. I hope the Navy There must be such a spirit that is not afraid of strong enemies!"

"Adults, you can rest assured that the Dionysian Navy will never be worse than the infantry!" Seklely immediately made a guarantee.

Davers looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Seglian, although you are young, you have always performed very well in training and management of the fleet, and the prestige in the sails is also very high. Given the present Enani Luce has been imprisoned for breaking the law, and the entire Dionysian Navy has no commander. This situation is unlikely to let it continue this way..."

The words of Davers said that Seclair’s heart beat violently.

"So, I decided to propose to the Senate to let you take over as the commander of the Navy. I believe that this appointment may be issued tomorrow."

When the great happiness collapsed as Seckley wanted, he was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. He just thanked him very much: “Thank you, adults! Thank you, adults! Thank you—”

"Don't thank me first, you have to understand that this appointment is not a glory, but a heavy responsibility! If there is such a day, Dionia will fight with Syracuse, the long coastline of Dionia Under the attack of the mighty Navy of Syracuse, the fleet you led must do everything in its power to defend the land of the Alliance from being invaded by the enemy, and the property of the citizens will not suffer losses, so your responsibility is great!” Daves Said with a serious expression.

Under the watchful eyes of Devers, Seckleyan became more and more determined: "I understand, adults!" He performed a military ceremony with great strength.

The next day, the Senate voted to pass Seclynen as the commander of the navy, and passed two bills: First, the warships of the Dionysian city-state were incorporated into the Dionysian naval sequence. One training and one cruise; the second is to increase the number of three-layer paddles, from five to eight per year.

.......................................

The new drama "Dionian" by the famous playwright Aristophanes is being staged at the Bacchus Grand Theater in Athens, which tells the story of a Dionysian interracial citizen participating in the Olympia Games. In the play, Aristophanes portrayed the image of a Diagnosian interracial citizen who was extremely ignorant, stupid and ridiculous to Greek traditional culture with exaggerated banter. Since its release, it has been highly regarded by Athens citizens, and theaters in Athens are often full.

For example: Now the center of the theater is playing the referee to announce the athletes entering the stadium. The stranger who is dressed in a strange way refuses to be naked. The referee asks him why. His answer is: "We have more snakes in the mountains and must wear clothes. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be bitten off-"

"Ha ha ha..." The audience burst into laughter.

"I like this paragraph, it's ridiculous!" An audience groaned and smiled and tears came out.

"The next paragraph is even more ridiculous, I have watched it several times!" another audience said excitedly.

Only listening to a whistle on the field, the dynasty of the Diaonian interracial citizen is desperately trying to make a running, but the referee has terminated the game and questioned why he ran into the circle of the runway. He is innocent. Said: "Our tribes follow the prey and always take shortcuts. Only in this way can they catch the prey."

After the referee told him the rules of the game, he also complained: "How stupid these rules are! No wonder I didn't see you wearing animal skins and feathers, because you can't catch prey."

......

The audience almost laughed from the beginning to the end.

In the end, the alien won the championship, and the priest of the temple put him on the laurel. He threw the laurel on the ground and said with anger: "Our governor lied to me, these branches are not worth the money~www. Mtlnovel.com~ He said that winning the championship will be rewarded!"

Then he turned to the priest to ask for the golden scepter in his hand.

The greed of the aliens and the wrath of the priests became the end of the whole play.

......

The audience rose and cheered in one direction.

An old man with a white beard stood up and waved to the crowd to express his gratitude. He is the respected playwright of Athens, Aristophanes. Despite his age, he still sits on the field as the new work begins, observing the audience's reaction and thinking about what needs to be improved in his work.

"Dyonia" is the work he created after he heard about the farce that took place at the Isthmus's Games a few years ago (that is, Lizaru's big game). Most Athenians only see it as a funny comedy, and only a few people can understand the deep meaning contained in the play.

In the big Greek Dionia, Sicily in Sicily, Napoli in Campania, Thessaly in northern Greece, Macedonia and many more city-states began to accept aliens into Greek society and began to Greece’s own traditional culture has formed an impact, which is what Aristophanes, who has been working to defend the traditional values ​​of Greece, is worried about. He used the ridiculous aliens in the play to warn the Athenians and even the entire Greek world to be vigilant, but he could not determine how much he could play.

With the help of the slaves, he walked out of the theater and descended along the mountain road. The crowds of people took the initiative to give way to the respected old man.

Just then, there was a burst of cheers in front.

"What happened?!" The audience took a shoulder and asked curiously forward.

"Win! We won! The fleet led by Colony defeated the Spartan Navy in Knydos, and Athens won!!" The crowd rushed to tell, and some even cried.
