However suddenly Cleeton's words have not said, Martius said again: „Your majesty, here also several letters, are accompany the combat report to send together.” 但是俄克里顿的话还没说完,马尔提乌斯再次说道:“陛下,我这里还有几封信件,是随同战报一起送来的。” „How you did not say early, brings to give me to look quickly!” Davos does intentionally the criticism that is angry saying that putting on airs reads these letters, then said to looking around suddenly Cleeton: „This is the letter that Tyndaris, Leontium and Cooley...... and other city-state requests form an alliance.” “你怎么不早说,快拿来给我看！”戴弗斯故作生气的批评道,装模作样的看完这些信件,然后对正在张望的俄克里顿说道:“这是陶尼斯、列奥提尼、西库利……等城邦要求结盟的信件。” suddenly Cleeton is washing one's hands, received these letters, looks at first and second, he is not in no mood to look again. He can certainly read these letters real, can only display depending on a point: From signature of end of text etx lying this way and that wrote many names, even hand imprint and doodle. 俄克里顿抖着手,接过这些信件,看完第一封、第二封,他已经没有心情再看下去。他当然能看出来这些信件都是真的,仅凭一点就能表现出来:从正文结束的署名上横七竖八的写了不少名字,甚至还有手印和涂鸦。 He can imagine: In a chieftain of city-state riot, there is an upper-level citizen, their handwriting write is very elegant ; Also there are ordinary civilians, was literate not many they to write crooked ; Also possibly has the freeman or the slave, they who are not literate can only certainly at fingertips the doodle. These rioters just expelled the Dionysius influence, such hurriedly writes a letter, not only perhaps wants the military force protection of Theonia, wants to have the support of Theonia in the later city-state election, wins a benefit for the group that oneself represent. 他能想象得到:在一个城邦暴乱的头目中,既有上层公民,他们的字迹写的很飘逸;又有普通平民,识字不多的他们就写得歪歪扭扭了;还可能有自由民或者奴隶,不识字的他们当然只能信手涂鸦。这些暴民们刚刚赶走狄奥尼修斯的势力,这么急匆匆的就写信来,恐怕不只是想要得到戴奥尼亚的武力保护,同时也是想在之后的城邦推选中得到戴奥尼亚的支持,为自己所代表的团体多争得一份利益。 If confused suddenly Cleeton spends the time to look these letters, he will discover does not have the Catania letter. 心烦意乱的俄克里顿如果花时间将这些信件看完,他就会发现没有卡塔奈的信件。 In fact has, but Davos has not taken it. The Catania letter stems from Antras Polis's hand, in letter/believes he wrote emphatically: Under the Catania people and freemen, even have some young slaves to exchange and convince in him repeatedly, agreed that makes Catania be incorporated into the Theonia alliance...... 事实上是有的,但戴弗斯没有将它拿出来而已。卡塔奈的信件是出自安特拉波里斯之手,在信中他着重写道:卡塔奈的民众和自由民、甚至还有小部分奴隶在他多次的交流和说服之下,同意让卡塔奈并入戴奥尼亚联盟…… This is Davos not the reason that this letter/believes takes. In addition, a city-state letter also requests to coalize, that is Naxos. Yes, once refugees after recapturing own homeland, decided that must rebuild the Naxos city, and gives to Theonia it. 这就是戴弗斯没有将这封信拿出来的原因。除此之外,还有一个城邦的来信也要求加入联盟,那就是纳克索斯。是的,曾经的流亡者们在夺回了自己的家园之后,决定要重建纳克索斯城,并将其献给戴奥尼亚。 Catania and Naxos these two cities had been destroyed by Dionysius, therefore here people other Sicily city-state people know that profoundly the peace and secure Ningyuan that seems like more free than and dangerous numerous independence be actually more important, therefore in Antras Polis and under the guidance, they will choose to join Theonia willingly- this can beat fearful powerful Syracuse Greek city-state Alliance, after causing them, is no longer destitute and homeless. 卡塔奈、纳克索斯这两座城都曾经被狄奥尼修斯摧毁过,因此这里的人们比其他西西里城邦民众更深刻的知道和平和安宁远比那看似更加自由、实则危险重重的独立更为重要,所以在安特拉波里斯及其手下的引导下,他们才会心甘情愿的选择加入戴奥尼亚-这个能够击败可怕强大的锡拉库扎的希腊城邦联盟,使他们以后不再流离失所。 suddenly Cleeton some distracted hands over to give back to Davos the letter, persuasion that simultaneously lacks in resonance: „King Davos, even if Theonia defeated Syracuse, to achieve the final success, however your priorities should be...... should be make Magna Graecia resume the beforehand prosperity. The relations between Sicily each city-state are complex, contradiction between local indigenous Siculians and Greeks, Theonia participates this to you completely strange islands rashly, in very much easily mire that was involved each city-state influence conflict, instead will drag down the development of Theonia......” 俄克里顿有些神思恍惚的将信件递还给戴弗斯,同时底气不足的劝说道:“戴弗斯国王,即使戴奥尼亚战胜锡拉库扎、获得了最后的胜利,但是你们的首要任务应该是……应该是让大希腊重新恢复以前的繁荣。西西里各个城邦之间的关系复杂,还有当地的土著西凯尔人与希腊人之间的矛盾,戴奥尼亚贸然插足到这个对你们来说完全陌生的岛屿,很容易被牵涉进各个城邦势力冲突的泥沼中,反而会拖累戴奥尼亚的发展……” „Thanks the care and reminder of suddenly Sir Cleeton.” Davos shows a faint smile, asked back: „In Syracuse invades in the Magna Graecia army, there is from Leontium, Tyndaris, Catania and Cooley and other city-state the citizens, if Theonia refuses these city-state to join the union, how you do think them to be able?” “谢谢俄克里顿大人的关心和提醒。”戴弗斯微微一笑,反问道:“在锡拉库扎入侵大希腊的大军中,有来自列奥提尼、陶尼斯、卡塔奈、西库利等城邦的公民,如果戴奥尼亚拒绝这些城邦加入同盟,你认为他们会怎么样？” suddenly Cleeton stares, has not waited for him to reply, nearby Hernipolis interposed: „They will certainly suspect that Theonia is still hating them once to assist Syracuse to invade Magna Graecia, was worried that we will retaliate them, they stem from scared, to resist the threat of arrival, likely may join up again with Syracuse.” 俄克里顿一愣,还没等他回答,旁边的赫尼波利斯插话道:“他们一定会怀疑戴奥尼亚还在憎恨他们曾经协助锡拉库扎侵略大希腊,担心我们会报复他们,他们出于恐慌,为了抵御可能到来的威胁,很可能会重新与锡拉库扎联合起来。” „Yes, with one brand-new, does not have Dionysius to overstep authority main Syracuse to become the union, looks like wine in clay jar to pour into another spatial pot, actually the flavor has not changed, finally was still Syracuse or the Sicily Greece city-state hegemon, was this Carthage desired?!” Davos asked back again. “是的,和一个全新的、没有狄奥尼修斯僭主的锡拉库扎结为同盟,就像是一个陶罐里的葡萄酒倒进另一个空罐里,其实味道还是没变,结果仍就是锡拉库扎还是西西里希腊城邦的盟主,这是迦太基所希望看到的吗？！”戴弗斯再次反问。 suddenly Cleeton has to acknowledge at heart this situation may appear, saying of his stammering: „You...... you can tell these city-state, you have not attacked their attempts, you can also sign...... the signing friendly agreement with them......” 俄克里顿不得不在心里承认这种情况非常有可能会出现,他期期艾艾的说道:“你们……你们可以告诉这些城邦,你们没有攻击他们的企图,你们还可以和他们签订……签订友好协议……” Davos chuckle, depends on toward the chairback on the body, said one slowly: „suddenly Sir Cleeton, can Carthage once driving going and neighboring Phoenicia small city-state signs the friendship treaty?” 戴弗斯轻笑一声,将身体往椅背上一靠,缓缓说了一句:“俄克里顿大人,迦太基可曾主动的去和邻近的腓尼基小城邦签订友好条约？” suddenly Cleeton stares, immediately intention of clear Davos: The lion will never care about the feeling big nation of cattle to have the dignity of big nation, is always the small nation flatters the important goods on own initiative, to guarantee its security, defeated Syracuse Theonia is the strong nation that the prestige broadcast, naturally will not make this type from falling the foolish matter of worth. 俄克里顿一愣,随即明白戴弗斯的用意:狮子从来不会在意牛羊的感受大邦自有大邦的威严,从来都是小邦主动讨好大帮,以保证其安全,击败锡拉库扎的戴奥尼亚已经是威名远播的强邦了,当然不会去做这种自掉身价的傻事。 suddenly Cleeton feels the facial skin to have a fever, listens to Davos saying: „Moreover, Syracuse strength distant Sicily over other city-state, include attached in Carthage city-state. No matter Syracuse is what regime, is in power by whom, with the lapse of time, it will attract surrounding city-state to close up to it naturally, by that time the Syracuse person will also be the threat of Magna Graecia and Carthage! Therefore, Catania and Leontium...... these city-state requests and Theonia form an alliance, happen to can let most approach Magna Graecia the Sicily east coast middle region to be separated from the Syracuse sphere of influence, is called the Magna Graecia southern safety barrier, once Syracuse wants to invade Magna Graecia, it must first probably conquer north it the region, then the war will launch there, but will not cause the destruction to Magna Graecia again! Therefore our Theonia will agree in any event their requests, becomes the solid union with them!” 俄克里顿感到脸皮发烧,又听戴弗斯说道:“另外,锡拉库扎的实力远远的超过西西里的其它城邦,同样更包括附属于迦太基的城邦。不管锡拉库扎是什么政体,由谁来执政,随着时间的推移,它自然而然会吸引周围的城邦向它靠拢,到那时锡拉库扎人还将是大希腊和迦太基的威胁！所以,卡塔奈、列奥提尼……这些城邦要求与戴奥尼亚结盟,正好可以让最靠近大希腊的这一片西西里东海岸中部区域脱离锡拉库扎的势力范围,称为大希腊南部安全屏障,一旦锡拉库扎想要侵略大希腊,它就必须先要征服它北面的这片区域,那么战争将会在那里展开,而不会再对大希腊造成破坏！因此我们戴奥尼亚无论如何都会同意他们的要求,和他们结为坚实的同盟！” suddenly Cleeton is listening to the Davos firm words, suddenly realizes an issue: „Hasn't Theonia destroyed completely the plan of Syracuse?” 俄克里顿听着戴弗斯坚定的话语,突然意识到一个问题:“戴奥尼亚难道没有灭掉锡拉库扎的打算吗？” „Destroys completely Syracuse?” Davos as if heard joke, said: Theonia that thing that „even Carthage cannot achieve, is scarred now how possibly achieves! We to safeguard the Magna Graecia security, do temper the Syracuse strength matter in one's power.” “灭掉锡拉库扎？”戴弗斯仿佛听到了一个笑话似的,说道:“连迦太基都做不到的事,现在伤痕累累的戴奥尼亚又怎么可能做到！我们只是为保障大希腊的安全,做一些削弱锡拉库扎力量的力所能及的事而已。” Listened to the reply of Davos, suddenly Cleeton not only somewhat excited, and somewhat regrettable, but regarding Theonia insisted that must admit that several Sicily city-state, he somewhat is also anxious: This is the first time that for several hundred years had the alien influence on step in Sicily! When the Peloponnesian War Athens invasion does not calculate, after all it to is too far, but Magna Graecia is different, only has to several li (0.5 km) channel great distance...... 听了戴弗斯的回答,俄克里顿既有些心动,又有些遗憾,而对于戴奥尼亚坚持要接纳那几个西西里城邦,他又有些不安:这可是几百年来第一次有外来势力涉足西西里！伯罗奔尼撒战争时的雅典入侵不算,毕竟它相距太远,而大希腊则不同,仅有相距几里的海峡相隔…… „suddenly Sir Cleeton, you know that what geometric figure is stablest?” Davos asked one suddenly. “俄克里顿大人,你知道什么样的几何图形最稳固吗？”戴弗斯突然问了一句。 Geometry- this once for the knowledge that to calculate the land area developed, in the Greek scholars who these years in liking studying diligently the natural sciences was recommanded, some Athens scholars once declared: The how much is the foundations of all knowledge! 几何-这个曾经是为了计算土地面积而发展出来的学问,这些年在喜欢钻研自然科学的希腊学者中备受推崇,一些雅典学者曾经宣称:几何是一切学问的根基！ „What?” suddenly Cleeton of recovering has not thought that Davos will ask a being irrelevant question, stares. “什么？”回过神来的俄克里顿没想到戴弗斯会问一个不着边际的问题,又是一愣。 „Is the triangle.” Davos straightforward saying: „Why Carthage and are Syracuse unceasing at the Sicily war? Because you are the Sicily only two strong presences.” “是三角形。”戴弗斯直截了当的说道:“迦太基和锡拉库扎为什么在西西里战争不断？因为你们是西西里唯二的强大势力。” Davos stretches out two fingers: „So long as bumped in one, had the war because of the conflicts of interest inevitably, without room to manoeuvre. But if joined Theonia-” Davos raises up a finger, its brace a triangle: „Three parties divert mutually, instead will achieve a long-term peace! Because a side wants to launch the war to the other side, it has to care about the third party to its threat.” 戴弗斯伸出两根手指:“只要碰在了一起,就必然因为利益冲突而发生战争,没有回旋的余地。但是如果加入了戴奥尼亚-”戴弗斯又竖起一根手指,将其撑成一个三角形:“三方互相牵制,反而会达成一个长时间的和平！因为一方想对另一方发动战争,它不得不顾及第三方对它的威胁。” suddenly Cleeton is fixing the eyes on his finger, partly after making a sound, saying that hesitates: „Also has the possibility two influences on join up, attacks an influence.” 俄克里顿紧盯着他的手指,半响后犹疑的说道:“也有可能两个势力联合起来,攻打一个势力。” Davos smiles: „This war let Theonia and Syracuse became the foe, was impossible to join up to attack Carthage, you think right?” 戴弗斯笑了笑:“这一场战争让戴奥尼亚与锡拉库扎成了仇敌,不可能联合起来进攻迦太基,你认为对吗？” suddenly Cleeton has not spoken, is actually thinking at heart: Syracuse burns down Crotone, slaughters Scylletium, destroys the Theonia territory, truly makes big Greeks abhor them! Therefore Theonia will sell to our Carthage the Syracuse citizen of captive partially, if the Syracuse people know this matter, absolute bonus Theonia...... 俄克里顿没说话,心里却在想:锡拉库扎焚毁克罗托内,屠戮西里庭,破坏戴奥尼亚的领地,确实让大希腊人对他们深恶痛绝！所以戴奥尼亚才会将俘虏的锡拉库扎公民部分卖给了我们迦太基,如果锡拉库扎民众知道这件事,绝对饶不过戴奥尼亚…… „Can Carthage with Syracuse combined attack Theonia?” “迦太基会和锡拉库扎联合进攻戴奥尼亚吗？” suddenly Cleeton shakes the head: Dozens years of war makes hatreds between two city-state too deep. 俄克里顿摇头:几十年的战争让两个城邦间的仇恨太深。 „Theonia wants jointly to destroy completely Syracuse with your Carthage actually, but the present situation is impossible to realize. But dozens years later, could two influences be able to unite, however the assignment of benefit is always non-uniform, the association/will was found the flaw by the third party, breaks this union, therefore the Sicily peace can compare with the long-term guarantee, but this guarantee also serves your Carthage benefit, you said right, suddenly Sir Cleeton.” Davos moderate saying. “戴奥尼亚倒是想和你们迦太基联合灭掉锡拉库扎,但现在的情况又不可能实现。而几十年后,或许能有两个势力能联合,但是利益的分配总是不均匀的,总会被第三方找到破绽,来打破这种联合,因此西西里的和平能得到较长时间的保证,而这种保证也符合你们迦太基的利益,你说对吗,俄克里顿大人。”戴弗斯语气温和的说道。 At heart, suddenly Cleeton felt some truth that Davos said that but such significant matter has gone beyond within the job duty that he went abroad on a diplomatic mission, therefore he is silent. 从内心来讲,俄克里顿觉得戴弗斯说的有一些道理,但这么重大的事已经超出了他出使的职权范围,所以他默然不语。 But Davos has not planned to consider as finished obviously like this: „Henie, takes map.” 但戴弗斯显然没打算就这样算了:“赫尼,去拿地图来。” Hernipolis is placed the Sicily map on the wooden table, Davos takes to begin a stroke, said: „I think that west of Pale Moss and Sellin Nuse are your Carthage sphere of influence.” 赫尼波利斯将西西里地图摆在木桌上,戴弗斯拿起笔,说道:“我认为帕勒莫斯和塞林努斯以西是你们迦太基的势力范围。” Saying, he writes without forethought a stroke, „cutting” got down a Sicily big western corner/horn, then he also said: „Syracuse toward is the Syracuse sphere of influence south to Camarina north.” 说着,他信笔一划,“切”下了西西里一个大的西部角,然后他又说道:“锡拉库扎往南至卡曼利纳以北属于锡拉库扎的势力范围。” He extends pen another stroke, „cutting” went to a small southeast corner, finally he said: „Tauromenion, Naxos and Cooley, Catania, Leontium, Tyndaris attach to Theonia.” Saying, he is pasting the Sicily east coast earnestly, delimited one narrow and small sliver. 他伸笔又一划,“切”下了一个小的东南角,最后他说:“陶罗美尼昂、纳克索斯、西库利、卡塔奈、列奥提尼、陶尼斯依附戴奥尼亚。”说着,他认真的贴着西西里东海岸,划了一个狭小的长条。
