When the power falls to the Syracuse Democratic Party hand in again, absorbed safe flatter root, Farlet of Cousse, Stacy Kaess passing lesson and the others not to cause a strange regime of 25 general like before again, but restored the Syracuse traditional democratic government, Ten strategoi, hundred people of powwows and ecclesia, and some policies and bills when continues Herolis reigned carries out, simultaneously to the Theonia war indemnity also payment of continuation. 当权力再次落到锡拉库扎民主派手中时,吸取了过往教训的泰阿根尼斯、法莱库斯、斯泰西科斯等人没有再像之前一样再弄出一个二十五将军的奇怪政体,而是重新恢复了锡拉库扎传统的民主政体,十将军、百人议事会、公民大会,并且延续了赫罗利斯在位时所执行的一些政策和法案,同时给戴奥尼亚的战争赔款也在继续的缴纳。 Since Syracuse defeated by Theonia these years, its political situation has been in the turbulence, exhausted the energy and enthusiasm of people, makes some elites feel disappointed about the Syracuse prospect, for example Philoxenus, he accepted the invitation of Theonia academy, goes to Thurii to teach, meanwhile write a letter to King Davos several times, requested that he reduces to the war reparations that Syracuse demands. 自锡拉库扎被戴奥尼亚打败后的这些年里,其政局一直处于动荡之中,既耗尽了民众的精力和热情,也让一些精英人士对锡拉库扎的前景感到失望,比如费罗萨努斯,他就接受了戴奥尼亚学园的邀请,前往图里伊任教,同时还几次向戴弗斯国王写信,请求他削减对锡拉库扎索取的战争赔偿。 Until the Kingdom of Theonia 11 years, Davos generous writes off the war indemnity. 直到戴奥尼亚王国十一年,戴弗斯才慷慨的将战争赔款一笔勾销。 The Syracuse political situation restored again stably, starts gradually to restore its vigor. However during former turbulence continuously, the agriculture and trade of Syracuse suffered the heavy losses, many freemen and merchants fled from here, chose vigorous development Catania. 锡拉库扎的政局再次恢复了稳定,开始逐渐恢复其活力。但是在之前一直的动荡中,锡拉库扎的农业和贸易都受到了重创,很多自由民和商人逃离了这里,选择了正在蓬勃发展的卡塔奈。 When the Syracuse people when are peaceful open eyes looked out, they impressively discovered: Once dominated Sicily, to overawe western Mediterranean the City Catania of Syracuse this time strength might as well past enemy Kingdom of Theonia subordinate, but past crowded around in the Syracuse surrounding allied countries, and other city-state had lost the contact like Camarina, Gela, Agrigentum with Syracuse, instead flattered Theonia...... 当安静下来的锡拉库扎民众睁眼向外看时,他们赫然发现:曾经称霸西西里、威震西地中海的锡拉库扎此时的实力还不如昔日的敌人戴奥尼亚王国下属的一个城市-卡塔奈,而昔日簇拥在锡拉库扎周围的盟邦们,象卡曼利纳、杰拉、阿格利真托等诸多城邦早已跟锡拉库扎断绝了联系,反而去讨好戴奥尼亚…… The Syracuse person not only cherished the memory of the past magnificence, and hatred created all these Chief criminals Theonia, moreover tax revenue majority that every year Syracuse obtained was used to pay the war indemnity. Therefore in the Sicily island had a strange phenomenon: In all Sicily Greece city-state when is on good terms with Kingdom of Theonia, Syracuse is actually alienating this powerful neighbor from top to bottom. They rejected Theonia each celebration invitation, actually in the land question of border union city-state Leontium with Theonia and Tyndaris have the dispute and conflict many times. 锡拉库扎人既缅怀昔日的辉煌,又痛恨造成这一切的罪魁祸首-戴奥尼亚,而且每年锡拉库扎所获得的税收大部分都用来缴纳战争赔款。所以西西里岛上就出现了一个奇怪的现象:在所有的西西里希腊城邦都在与戴奥尼亚王国交好的时候,锡拉库扎从上到下却在疏远这个强大的邻居。他们拒绝了戴奥尼亚每一次的庆典邀请,却在边境的土地问题上同戴奥尼亚的同盟城邦-列奥提尼和陶尼斯多次发生争执和冲突。 Syracuse these display by Carthage are watched, the envoy who therefore this Carthage sends shoulders „is letting Syracuse joins to resisting in the Kingdom of Theonia union” the mission. 锡拉库扎的这些表现被迦太基看在眼里,所以这一次迦太基派来的使者肩负着“让锡拉库扎加入到对抗戴奥尼亚王国的同盟中”的使命。 .......................................... …………………………………… In the Syracuse city hall, ten General Syracuse after the Carthage envoy goes out of the conference room, the facial expression somewhat is dignified. 在锡拉库扎市政厅里,十位锡拉库扎将军在迦太基使者走出会议室之后,神情都有些凝重。 „I am not clear, Theonia and Carthage have been maintaining the friendly exchanges at these several years, why can have the war suddenly?!” Asking that general Shick Tass from Gangkou District has doubts. Syracuse people that compare other areas, civilians in harbor area to the Theonia favorable impression, because with the help of Theonian, the civilians in harbor area organized initially finally, revolts against the Dionysius tyranny, thus formed a unignorable strength in the political arena of Syracuse. “我不明白,戴奥尼亚与迦太基在这十几年来一直保持着友好往来,为什么突然之间就要发生战争了呢？！”来自港口区的将军希克塔斯疑惑的问道。相比较其他地区的锡拉库扎民众,港口区的平民对戴奥尼亚还是有一丝好感的,因为当初就是在戴奥尼亚人的帮助下,港口区的平民们终于组织起来,反抗狄奥尼修斯的暴政,从而在锡拉库扎的政坛上形成了一支不可忽视的力量。 „This is not clear! Carthage and Theonia can maintain more than ten years of friendly exchanges , because they need the time to restore their strength. In fact, is not only Sicily, entire western Mediterranean cannot contain two powerful countries, they definitely will have the war because of the conflict of benefit. Before was Carthage and our Syracuse, now changes into Theonia......” Parroni Sousse voice to be low and deep, as if recalled the Syracuse past. As once to the official who Dionysius worked, after the riot, as a result of the opposition of sailors, he has not joined to hand/subordinate suppressing in the war of riser, thus escaped from the penalty afterward. But in war that afterward overthrew cutthroat Anders Markus, he battles heroically, made the great merit, was echoed by people, have been voted as the general several times. “这还不明白吗！迦太基和戴奥尼亚之所以能保持十多年的友好往来,是因为他们都需要时间来恢复自身的力量。事实上,不光是西西里,整个西地中海也容纳不下两个强大的国家,他们必然会因为利益的冲突而发生战争。以前是迦太基和我们锡拉库扎,现在不过是换成了戴奥尼亚而已……”帕罗尼苏斯声音低沉,似乎回想起锡拉库扎的往日。作为曾经向狄奥尼修斯效力的官员,在暴乱发生之后,由于手下水手们的反对,他并没有加入到镇压起义者的战争中,因而后来逃脱了惩罚。而在后来推翻谋杀者安德玛库斯的战争中,他作战英勇,立下了大功,得到了民众的认同,已经几次被推选为将军。 „If Theonia and Carthage have the war, to our Syracuse is an excellent opportunity! These years, since Theonia after Sicily occupied Catania, Naxos and Cooley these cities, the effect on our Syracuse was too big. The freemen are willing to go to Catania and Naxos life, the merchant ship are also willing to go to the Catania trade, Sicily other city-state are also willing to communicate with them, long this gets down, when our Syracuse can reappear the past magnificence!” Chief general safe flatter root Nice obviously is supports and Carthage cooperates, resists Theonia together. “如果戴奥尼亚与迦太基发生战争,对我们锡拉库扎来说是一个大好的机会！这些年,自从戴奥尼亚在西西里占据了卡塔奈、纳克索斯和西库利这几座城市之后,对我们锡拉库扎的影响太大了。自由民们更愿意去卡塔纳、纳克索斯生活,商船也更愿意去卡塔纳进行贸易,西西里的其他城邦也更愿意与它们来往,长此下去,我们锡拉库扎何时才能重现往日的辉煌！”首席将军泰阿根尼斯明显是支持与迦太基合作,共同对抗戴奥尼亚。 „But, can Carthage defeat Theonia?” Cooch Yaaz reveals to worry, more than ten years ago he has experienced that wars that decides the western Mediterranean Greece overlords, saw and heard a Theonia regiment to land in Sicily, finally defeated tens of thousands people of armies that Matthias led unexpectedly. “但是,迦太基能够战胜戴奥尼亚吗？”库奇亚斯流露出担忧,十几年前他可是经历过那一场决定西地中海希腊霸主的战争,耳闻目睹了戴奥尼亚的一个军团在西西里登陆,最后竟然击败了马西阿斯率领的几万人的军队。 „Yes, the Theonia army was too fierce! The year before last, they also easily defeated Siculians, seized their many cities, present Siculians like dog regarding the Theonian revolutions.” Farlet Cousse continued, as once fought side-by-side the ally who with the Theonia army and overthrew the Dionysius rule together, fully realized he who Theonia strength also does not support with Theonia opposes: „Our Syracuse strength different in those days, the surroundings already surround by the Theonia city and its friendly allied country, once we declare war to Theonia, their armies can kill under our city immediately. Perhaps Theonian is hoping we break the agreement, quite enables them to break through the Syracuse city, achieves to unify the Sicily eastern goal!” “是啊,戴奥尼亚的军队太厉害了！前年,他们还轻松的击败了西凯尔人,占领了他们的不少城镇,现在的西凯尔人就像狗一样的围绕着戴奥尼亚人转。”法莱库斯接过话头,作为曾经与戴奥尼亚军队并肩作战、共同推翻狄奥尼修斯统治的战友,深知戴奥尼亚实力的他同样也不支持与戴奥尼亚作对:“我们锡拉库扎的实力已不同往日,周围已经被戴奥尼亚的城市和它的友好盟邦们所包围,一旦我们向戴奥尼亚宣战,他们的军队就可以立刻杀到我们城下。戴奥尼亚人也许正盼望着我们打破协议,好让他们可以攻破锡拉库扎城,达到统一西西里东部的目的！” In the conference room falls into quietly. These years, with the lapse of time, the generals know Syracuse can exist independently, that is agreement that because among Carthage, Sparta and Theonia reach. 会议室里陷入沉寂。这些年,随着时间的推移,将军们都知道了锡拉库扎之所以能够独立存在,那是因为迦太基、斯巴达、戴奥尼亚之间达成的协议。 At this time, Stacy Kaess sinking sound said: „, We do not provoke Theonia, will Theonia let off Syracuse? Once Carthage defeats, Syracuse can also maintain the independent possibility?! No! We like Catania, Crotone and Locri, will be forced to integrate in Kingdom of Theonia, becomes an ordinary city, loses makes our proud long history and magnificence! Therefore, I think to help Carthage, helps us!” 这时,斯泰西科斯沉声说道:“诸位,我们不去招惹戴奥尼亚,难道戴奥尼亚就会放过锡拉库扎吗？一旦迦太基战败,锡拉库扎还能保持独立的可能吗？！不！我们会像卡塔奈、克罗托内、洛克里一样,被迫融入到戴奥尼亚王国中,成为一座普通的城市,失去令我们自豪的悠久历史和辉煌！所以,我认为帮助迦太基,也就是帮助我们自己！” Stacy Kaess's words make other generals change countenance. 斯泰西科斯的话让其他将军动容。 „, You only saw the great strength of Theonia, but Carthage also is also very powerful. These years, Carthaginians conquered Nummi Biya of African inland, but also conquered the south of Iberia peninsula, the land that they have is even broader than Kingdom of Theonia. More than ten years ago, Carthage with we battle, can organize 100,000 people of armies, now can achieving easily!” “诸位,你们只看到了戴奥尼亚的强大,但迦太基同样也很强大。这些年,迦太基人征服了阿非利加内陆的努米比亚,还征服了伊比利亚半岛的南部,他们所拥有的土地甚至比戴奥尼亚王国还要广阔。十多年前,迦太基与我们交战的时候,就能组织起10万人的大军,如今更是可以轻易的达到！” safe flatter root Nice mood spirited is brandishing the arm, tries to convince other generals: „Moreover, do not forget the Carthage ally, soon possibly with Rome that Theonia battles, its strength is also very powerful, is the overlord of central Italy, has the powerful heavy infantry, is not so easy to cope. Carthage and Rome hand in hand, have made Theonia be hard to resist, listened to a moment ago the voice of Carthage envoy let alone, they also had other helper...... Theonia to fall into tight encirclement during Carthage arrangement, we did not join at this time, but also anything!” 泰阿根尼斯情绪激昂的挥舞着手臂,试图说服其他的将军:“另外,你们别忘了迦太基的盟友、即将可能与戴奥尼亚交战的罗马,它的实力也很强大,是意大利中部的霸主,有着强悍的重步兵,绝不是那么容易对付的。迦太基和罗马携起手来,已经让戴奥尼亚难以抵挡了,更何况听刚才迦太基使者的话音,他们还有别的帮手……戴奥尼亚已经陷入迦太基布置的重围之中,我们这个时候不加入,还等什么呢！” The Syracuse person for dozens years have had the close military and trade with west coast of Italy, particularly to the Campania union, although the Campania union had reversed to Theonia in recent years, but the heart the unwilling Syracuse person still has not reduced to there attention, therefore they compare to know the Rome situation. 锡拉库扎人几十年来一直与意大利的西海岸有着密切的军事和贸易往来,尤其是对坎帕尼亚同盟,虽然近些年坎帕尼亚同盟已经倒向了戴奥尼亚,但是心犹不甘的锡拉库扎人并没有减少对那里的关注,所以他们比较了解罗马的情况。 „Several years ago, Dionysius also made Theonia fall into tight encirclement, finally how? We are very clear.” Shick Tass said one light. “十几年前,狄奥尼修斯也让戴奥尼亚陷入了重围,结果怎么样呢？我们都很清楚。”希克塔斯轻飘飘的说了一句。 „But this difference!” safe flatter root Nice stared his one eyes, but also wants to continue to persuade. “但是这一次不同！”泰阿根尼斯瞪了他一眼,还想继续劝说。 Shick Tass cold sound said: „Truly this difference, because more than ten years ago compares, the Theonia territory increased several times, the strength also increased several times.” 希克塔斯冷声说道:“确实这一次不同,因为和十几年前相比,戴奥尼亚的领地增加了好几倍,实力也增加了好几倍。” safe flatter root Nice hears word obstructs, for a while does not know unexpectedly said what good. 泰阿根尼斯闻言一窒,一时竟不知说什么好。 At this time, Farlet Cousse hesitated was saying: „I looked handle like this. We first do not comply with Carthaginians, this not blind puts in the danger Syracuse. If, Carthage truly declares war to Theonia, and had very big advantage, then we join it is not late again.” 这时,法莱库斯沉吟着说道:“我看这样办好了。我们先不要答应迦太基人,这样就不会盲目的将锡拉库扎置于危险的境地。如果,迦太基确实对戴奥尼亚宣战,并且占据了很大的优势,那么我们再加入它也不晚。” „I agreed.” Cooch Yaaz expresses the support immediately: „This is the steady approach!” “我同意。”库奇亚斯立刻表示了赞同:“这才是稳重的做法！” Quick, several other generals also expressed the support one after another, including Stacy Kaess. 很快,其他几位将军也相继表示了赞同,包括斯泰西科斯。 safe flatter root Nice finally also helpless nod, in the heart is actually very angry: He could be said as Syracuse most without chief general of power for these years. Other generals, some participated in the past years to revolt against the Dionysius riot either together, had deep militant friendship as well as obtains many fans ; Either some are the representatives of some special mass organizaitons. But after he escaped from Syracuse in the past, the foundation in city had been cleaned, because first shoulders to the rebellion of Herolis, therefore after the Herolis success return, was suppressed again, gathers with great difficulty, supports his people to leave him to go. 泰阿根尼斯最后也无奈的点了头,心中却是很是愤然:他可以说是锡拉库扎这么多年来最没有权力的首席将军了。其他的将军,要么有的共同参加过当年反抗狄奥尼修斯的暴乱,拥有很深的战斗情谊以及得到不少的拥趸;要么有的则是一些特殊民众团体的代表。而他当年逃出锡拉库扎之后,在城内的根基早已被扫除,又因为首先挑起对赫罗利斯的叛乱,所以在赫罗利斯成功回归后,再次受到打压,好不容易聚集起来的、拥护他的民众又离他而去。 Reason that does not have powerful strength support safe flatter root Nice to be the chief general in the two years continuously , because the Syracuse citizens needed his such no strength, actually the well known person to balance one group of powerful Herolis past friends, avoided having the dictatorship. 之所以没有强大实力支持的泰阿根尼斯这两年能够连续担任首席将军,是因为锡拉库扎公民们需要他这样一个没有什么实力、却又有名望的人来平衡一帮实力强大的赫罗利斯的昔日朋友们,避免产生独裁。 However, is obstinate Tyre root Nice that and stronger actually to believe oneself are that can help Syracuse revive the magnificent person. 但是,性格执拗、要强的泰尔根尼斯却一直坚信自己才是那个能够帮助锡拉库扎重振辉煌的人。
