LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

What is with your help?! Probably your Rhegion person also participated in naval battle! In the Sekrian heart the unstated criticism, actually no displays on the face, after all Adili Kruse is not just the important personage in Rhegion city-state political arena, is the King Davos father-in-law. 什么叫在你们的帮助下？！好像你们利吉姆人也参加了海战似的！塞克利安心中腹诽,却没有表现在脸上,毕竟阿蒂利克鲁斯不单是利吉姆城邦政坛上的重要人物,更是戴弗斯国王的岳父。 Luckily, Davos knows own this father-in-law is what character, before the fleet embarks, has had the injunction to Sekrian: „Theonia thanked the tremendous assistance that allied country Rhegion gave, we will soon return the Rhegion warship!” Reply that Sekrian is without hesitation. Now in the Thurii naval port parks catch over a hundred complete or some breakage triremes, because does not have enough sailor, but can only leave unused, because even the warship are too many, the naval port was unable to hold, but has to some shift to the commercial harbor, Rhegion requests to return the warship happen to help them solve some difficulties. 幸好,戴弗斯知道自己这个岳父是什么性格,在舰队出发前,已经对塞克利安有过嘱咐:“戴奥尼亚非常感谢盟邦利吉姆给予的巨大帮助,我们将很快归还利吉姆的战船！”塞克利安毫不迟疑的回答。现在图里伊军港内停放了上百艘被捕获的完好或有些破损的三层桨战船,因为没有足够的水手而只能闲置,甚至因为战船太多,军港已经无法容纳而不得不部分转移到商港中,利吉姆要求归还战船正好帮他们解决些困难。 „Can the warship when the time comes returns also install that you said a moment ago ‚wooden bridge’?” Adili Kruse also asked. “到时候归还的战船也能装上你刚才所说的那种‘木桥’吗？”阿蒂利克鲁斯又问道。 Sekrian has not thought that this Rhegion chief general will propose such request, was shocked suddenly. Do not look that installs the crow hanging bridge is very probably simple, but he once listened to Davos your majesty saying that this involves the utilization and complex machinery manufacture of profound pulley knowledge, therefore several hanging bridge operators can rotate the base with ease, and pulls up and puts down the hanging bridge. Secker Lyan still remembers that scholar Marticoris proud declaration from Theonia academy, ‚except for Theonia, second Greek city-state cannot even manufacture the crow hanging bridge, only if they have the deep research to the pulley!’. 塞克利安没想到这位利吉姆的首席将军会提出这样的要求,一时间愣住了。别看装乌鸦吊桥好像很简单,但他曾听戴弗斯陛下说过,这涉及到高深的滑轮知识的运用和复杂的机械制作,所以几名吊桥操作员就可以轻松的转动基座,并且拉起和放下吊桥。塞科利安还记得那位来自戴奥尼亚学园的学者马提科里斯甚至骄傲的宣称,‘除了戴奥尼亚,没有第二个希腊城邦能够制作乌鸦吊桥,除非他们对滑轮有较深的研究！’。 „What's wrong? No line?!” Adili Kruse sees Sekrian not to speak, surface presently unexpected and pursues asks. “怎么？不行吗？！”阿蒂利克鲁斯见塞克利安没有说话,面现不虞的又追问道。 Sekrian said simply: „This matter I cannot take responsibility, can only your majesty take responsibility by Davos. Moreover we can defeat the Syracuse navy, the crow hanging bridge is only a reason, the one who is more important is our Theonia powerful regiment heavy infantry, particularly when battles with the Syracuse navy for the second time, the Syracuse person also sent on each warship with our almost suitable heavy infantry, finally suffered the disastrous defeat......” 塞克利安索性说道:“这件事我做不了主,只能由戴弗斯陛下做主。而且我们能战胜锡拉库扎海军,乌鸦吊桥只是一个原因,更重要的是我们戴奥尼亚强大的军团重步兵,尤其是在第二次与锡拉库扎海军交战的时候,锡拉库扎人同样在每艘战船上派上了与我们人数几乎相当的重步兵,结果还是遭到了惨败……” Was saying to be saying, Sekrian simply straightforward saying: „Theonia and Rhegion are the unions, will have us to provide the protection in the sea, Rhegion will not be receiving the enemy from the marine invasion, will spend money and equipment navy really not to need again.” 说着说着,塞克利安干脆直截了当的说道:“戴奥尼亚与利吉姆是同盟,有我们在海上提供保护,利吉姆将不会在受到敌人从海上的侵扰,再去花费金钱、装备海军实在没有必要。” As soon as Adili Kruse listens to this saying, immediately sinks the face, the eyes look straight ahead Sekrian, the indignation however said: „Davos in giving my letter/believes hopes that our Rhegion can dispatch troops to take your fleets, other place landing attacks south Xibonian or Magna Graecia, to attract and divert the Syracuse army, creates the condition for you in the attack of land. However-” 阿蒂利克鲁斯一听这话,顿时沉下脸来,双眼直视塞克利安,忿然说道:“戴弗斯在给我的信中希望我们利吉姆能够派兵乘坐你们的舰队,在希伯尼安或者大希腊南部的其它地方登陆进攻,以吸引和牵制锡拉库扎大军,为你们在陆上的进攻创造条件。但是-” Adili Kruse sinks the face: „Before, our Rhegion person to help you, attacks the Medma city on own initiative, finally suffered the heavy losses, does not have the strength to make such adventurous action again, please pass on to Davos, was really sorry! Since Theonia is so powerful, is completely capable of defeating the Syracuse person independently!” 阿蒂利克鲁斯沉下脸:“之前,我们利吉姆人为了帮助你们,主动进攻麦德玛城,结果遭受了重创,已经没有力量再做这样冒险的行动,请你转告戴弗斯,实在是抱歉！而且既然戴奥尼亚已经如此强大了,完全有能力独立战胜锡拉库扎人！” Then, he stands up: „I have the matter, you take your time.” 说完,他站起身:“我还有事,你们慢用。” Adili Kruse left the living room on this unexpectedly directly, walked. 阿蒂利克鲁斯竟然就这样径直离开了客厅,走了。 The guests look at each other in blank dismay, Sekrian feels awkward, should be a lively banquet, finally parts on bad terms. 宾客们面面相觑,塞克利安更是倍感尴尬,本应是一场热闹的宴会,结果不欢而散。 ................................. …………………………… In the evening, in the backyard of Adili Kruse mansion, Alshvang Pieters criticizes Adili Kruse: „Father, you performance at banquet are too really extreme today, made the poor impression to visiting Theonian! If by some chance they return to the hometown, publicizes this matter everywhere, not only to loving Gorney is influential, will also affect our family/home in the business of Thurii shipyard!” 傍晚,在阿蒂利克鲁斯府邸的后院,阿尔西比达斯批评阿蒂利克鲁斯:“父亲,你今天在宴会上的表现实在太过激了,给来访的戴奥尼亚人留下了很不好的印象！万一他们回到家乡,将此事到处宣扬,不但对爱葛妮丝有影响,而且也会影响我们家在图里伊造船厂的生意！” „You think that I am because that humble Theonian is angry and gets angry?” Adili Kruse's scowl at banquet has vanished without the trace, he has the profound meaning said to own son: „My this does to my king son-in-law looks.” “你以为我就是因为那个低贱的戴奥尼亚人而生气、发怒的吗？”阿蒂利克鲁斯在宴会上的怒容早就消失无踪,他颇有深意的对自己的儿子说道:“我这是做给我那位国王女婿看的。” „Does to Davos looks, what do you mean?” Alshvang Pieters is puzzled. “做给戴弗斯看,什么意思？”阿尔西比达斯一脸困惑。 Adili Kruse is somewhat helpless: As the Rhegion ancient immigration family, once also once ruled this city-state dozens years, his family always holds the pivotal position in the Rhegion political arena. But his two children do not know that what's the matter, a point does not have the political ability that the family inherits. The daughter likes Gorney marrying Theonia archon ......, now is the Theonia king, her lucky becomes the princess, the Thurii quite influential Hera temple officiates, the position venerates, but her thoughts are since childhood pure, is completely not the opponent of another astute strong princess ; But son Alshvang Pieters astutely is astute, actually all uses, in did business on, is not interested in the politics, his present general position or Adili Kruse let him hold the post forcefully. 阿蒂利克鲁斯有些无奈:作为利吉姆古老的移民家族,一度还曾经统治这个城邦几十年,他的家族始终在利吉姆政坛上占有举足轻重的地位。但他的两个孩子都不知道是怎么回事儿,一点都没有家族传承下来的政治才能。女儿爱葛妮丝嫁给戴奥尼亚的执政官……哦,现在已经是戴奥尼亚的国王,她幸运的成为了王妃,还是图里伊颇有影响力的赫拉神庙主祭,地位尊崇,但她从小就心思单纯,完全不是另一个精明强干的王妃的对手;而儿子阿尔西比达斯精明是精明,却全用在了做生意上,对政治不感兴趣,他现在的将军职位还是阿蒂利克鲁斯强行让他担任的。 Although Alshvang Pieters has been careless to the political business, but as the successor of Adili Kruse enterprise, he instructs earnestly to him frequently, hopes that one day he will awaken. These is no exception time: „Now the Syracuse person lost the sea, looked that the situation is very at least in a short time difficult to recapture. So long as Theonian deals appropriately, this war they will at least not lose. After then the Syracuse person retreats Sicily, has not received the Theonia alliance that too loses greatly to become the overlord who the Magna Graecia area cannot be shaken in this war surely, our Rhegion does not want to become its dependency, must make own sound!” 虽然阿尔西比达斯一直对政治上的事务漫不经心,但作为阿蒂利克鲁斯事业的继承者,他还是经常对他耳提面命,希望总有一天他会醒悟过来。这一次也不例外:“现在锡拉库扎人失去了海洋,看情况至少在短时间内很难夺回。戴奥尼亚人只要应对得当,这场战争他们至少不会输。那么当锡拉库扎人撤退回西西里之后,在这场战争中并没有受到太大损失的戴奥尼亚联盟必定会成为大希腊地区不可撼动的霸主,我们利吉姆不想成为它的附庸,就必须发出自己的声音！” „Becoming the Theonia dependency, does not have nothing well.” Saying that Alshvang Pieters thinks otherwise: „Becoming the dependency, will have the preferential benefit on trade. The Theonia territory now is so big, according to you said, in the future will be bigger, this is more helpful to my family's trade! Moreover the ruler in my brother-in-law this strong country, the younger sister she will make me suffer a loss!” “成为戴奥尼亚的附庸,也没什么不好。”阿尔西比达斯不以为然的说道:“成为附庸,才会有贸易上的优惠。戴奥尼亚的领地现在就已经那么大了,按你所说,将来还会更大,这对我家的贸易就越有帮助！而且我的妹夫还是这个强大国家的统治者,妹妹她会让我吃亏吗！” Adili Kruse has not thought that this lazy son will be holding such idea, somewhat is for a while angry, but transfers quickly reluctantly, because he felt indistinctly in the Rhegion city has this idea perhaps incessantly Alshvang Pieters one. Since Rhegion and Theonia form an alliance, it was not only guaranteed in the security, obtained very big advantage in the business. Because of environment reason, Rhegion multi- merchants, but few farmers, causing the Rhegion person to handle matters smoothly, has the possibility to give up the city-state independence for the self-interest, probably before the Theonia alliance, the Rhegion person can also neglect racial conflict between Carthage and Greeks, but forms an alliance with Carthage, this may not only to resist Syracuse, meanwhile has the attraction of Carthage that huge trade market. 阿蒂利克鲁斯没想到这个慵懒的儿子会抱着这样的想法,一时有些愤怒,但很快转为无奈,因为他隐约感到在利吉姆城内抱有这种想法的恐怕不止阿尔西比达斯一个。自从利吉姆和戴奥尼亚结盟之后,它不仅在安全上得到了保障,在商贸上也得到了很大的好处。因为环境原因,利吉姆多商人而少农夫,导致利吉姆人处事圆滑,非常有可能为了自己利益而放弃城邦的独立,就好像在没有戴奥尼亚联盟之前,利吉姆人也能忽略迦太基与希腊人之间的种族冲突,而与迦太基结盟,这可不仅是为了对抗锡拉库扎,同时还有迦太基那庞大的贸易市场的吸引。 „Even if becomes the dependency, must become the competent dependency, this can gain attaching great importance to of Theonia.” Adili Kruse somewhat is suddenly discouraged, he sighed, then reminded own son: „You know why I insisted warship that wants these Theonia to be in sole possession of?” “就算是成为附庸,也要成为有实力的附庸,这样才能得到戴奥尼亚的重视。”阿蒂利克鲁斯突然间有些泄气,他叹了口气,转而提醒自己的儿子:“你知道我为什么坚持要那些戴奥尼亚独有的战船吗？” „Why?” “为什么？” „Messina!” Adili Kruse looked at his one eyes, said with emphasis: „Once Dionysius were really defeated by Davos, perhaps Syracuse will have the chaos. By that time, he may not have unnecessary strength protection channel opposite that newly-built city-state, we can recapture it, making it the child nation under Rhegion control! Had the Messina harbor, we can control the entire channel, this is of great advantage to city-state and to your business!” “墨西拿！”阿蒂利克鲁斯看了他一眼,加重语气说道:“一旦狄奥尼修斯真的被戴弗斯击败,锡拉库扎恐怕会有大乱。到那时,他可就没有多余的力量保护海峡对面那个新建的城邦了,我们可以将它夺回,让它成为利吉姆控制下的子邦！有了墨西拿港口,我们就可以掌控整个海峡,这对城邦、对你的生意都大有好处！” Alshvang Pieters listened excited, the vision flashes, imagines is capturing the large revenue that Messina brings, but was quick his facial expression to return to normal: „Father, Messina is so important, you think that my astute brother-in-law has not seen! In our Greece merchants is having such a few words, ‚huge profit means the big risk.’ My business develops such smoothly , because I never do to surpass the matter beyond my ability. But Rhegion wants to obtain Messina, completed preparation that takes the risk?” 阿尔西比达斯听了大为心动,目光闪动,想象着夺取墨西拿所带来的巨大收益,但是很快他的神情恢复了平静:“父亲,墨西拿如此重要,你以为我那个精明的妹夫没有看到吗！咱们希腊商人中流行着这样一句话,‘巨大的利润意味着巨大的风险。’我的生意之所以发展得这么顺利,是因为我从不去做超出我能力之外的事。而利吉姆想要获得墨西拿,做好了承担风险的准备了吗？” Adili Kruse was shocked, news that after obtaining the Theonia fleet wins continuously, when he is wild with joy, in the caring Messina, the desire hoodwinked his reason for a while, nearly forgot the Messina city to be the target of public criticism, Syracuse and Carthage, now possibly and many Theonia was staring at the mountain pass of this channel. 阿蒂利克鲁斯愣住了,在得到戴奥尼亚舰队连续获胜的消息后,他狂喜之余,惦记上了墨西拿,欲望一时蒙蔽了他的理智,险些忘了墨西拿城可是众矢之的,锡拉库扎、迦太基,现在可能又多了一个戴奥尼亚都在盯着这个海峡的关隘。 The ponder long time, on Adili Kruse's face perked up, his gratified saying: „Alshvang Pieters, I discovers now, you will become an outstanding general!” 沉思良久,阿蒂利克鲁斯的脸上又恢复了精神,他欣慰的说道:“阿尔西比达斯,我现在才发现,你会成为一名优秀的将军！” .................................... ……………………………… The 2nd day, Sekrian led the sailors to rush to the harbor to go on board. 第二日,塞克利安带领水手们赶往港口登船。 Sekrian thinks, because last night banquet will cause the Rhegion people to change to their attitudes, has not thought that not only the enthusiasm of people as before, Adili Kruse also sees off personally, when the attitude yesterday greets is warmer, he kept silent to yesterday's disagreement/not with, positive indicated to Sekrian: Rhegion is willing to carry out the responsibility of allied country, is Theonia defeats Syracuse to make the full power coordination, how to act specifically, can look for guarding to discuss in Tao Rui that poor pillar general. 塞克利安原以为因为昨晚宴会一事会导致利吉姆民众对他们的态度有所改变,没想到不但民众的热情依旧,阿蒂利克鲁斯也亲自来送行,态度比昨天迎接时更加热情,他对昨天的不和只字不提,积极的向塞克利安表示:利吉姆愿意履行盟邦的职责,为戴奥尼亚击败锡拉库扎作出全力的配合,具体如何行动,可以找驻守在陶瑞那的菲墩将军商议。 Meanwhile, Adili Kruse also holds Sekrian to take away a letter/believes to Davos. 同时,阿蒂利克鲁斯还托塞克利安给戴弗斯带去一封信。 Although does not understand why Adili Kruse's attitude transforms suddenly, but this without doubt is a big good deed, Sekrian mood exceptionally good, when issues order sound also sound especially: „Goes to Messina!” 虽然不明白阿蒂利克鲁斯的态度为何突然转变,但这无疑是件大好事,塞克利安的心情异常的好,下达命令时的声音也格外的响:“去墨西拿！” .................................... ……………………………… In 715 B. C., Euboea the Carl Kiess people's of Cumae colonizer and mid-north Greece from Greek in close proximity channel lowland in the Sicily island and near Italian Peninsula built a city, because the shape of its harbor looked like the farmer to harvest the grain the sickle to give this colonizing city to name to call „to approve the to subdue|grams row”( i.e. the meaning of sickle). 公元前715年,来自希腊本土的优卑亚岛的库迈殖民者和希腊中北部的卡尔基斯人在西西里岛与亚平宁半岛相距很近的海峡边的低地上合建了一座城市,由于其港口的形状酷似农夫收割谷物的镰刀而给这座殖民城取名叫“赞克列”(即镰刀的意思)。
