Davos stopped, then said: „Second is a sailor. triremes needs about 200 sailors, if a fleet has 100 triremes, needs about 20,000 sailors. The navy is the military power that a need huge population supports, but the Phoenician and Carthaginians are not a populous race, even if it uses Nummi Biya person to act as the sailor, but Nummi Biya person is not a navigation race . Moreover the instinct is quite lax, definitely will reduce the operational capacity of Carthage navy. But we-” 戴弗斯停顿了一下,接着说道:“第二是水手。一艘三层桨战船需要近200名水手,如果一支舰队有100艘三层桨战船,就需要近2万名水手。海军是一个需要庞大人口数量支撑起来的军事力量,而腓尼基人、迦太基人并不是一个人口众多的种族,即使它用努米比亚人来充当水手,但努米比亚人不是一个航海种族,而且天性比较涣散,必然会降低迦太基海军的作战能力。而我们-” Davos smiles: „Did not say the official citizen and preparation citizen, once the navy starts to recruit the new sailor, these freemen will quarrel, is shouting the request to join, they hope that can become the citizen in kingdom as soon as possible.” 戴弗斯笑了笑:“就不说正式公民和预备公民,一旦海军开始招收新的水手,那些自由民们就会吵着、嚷着的要求加入,他们希望能够尽快的成为王国的公民。” Davos at this point, Tolmides and meter/rice Dorotheus smiled, the Davos words dispelled their misgivings completely. Only then Purin Towles has not smiled, some as if concerns. 戴弗斯说到这里,托尔米德和米多拉德斯笑了,戴弗斯的话完全打消了他俩的顾虑。只有普林托尔斯没笑,似乎有些心事。 Davos noticed, therefore he asked: „Purin Towles, you have anything to suggest, said.” 戴弗斯注意到了,于是他问道:“普林托尔斯,你还有什么建议,说出来吧。” Purin Towles considered some little time, said in a soft voice: „Your majesty, although from the present war, we have the advantage in Sicily, but Carthage is defeated in the battle, then the fleet forfeits in the naval battle and storm, failure continually will definitely make Carthaginians feel scared, if they do not consider to sum, then must do utmost in the following fight wins. As the matter stands, Unit Sicily that Ploso Oursse leads will perhaps face soldiers more, fighting spirit more exuberant, will not be the Carthage army who mediocre general will hold the post of the command-” 普林托尔斯斟酌了好一会儿,轻声说道:“陛下,虽然从现在的战局来看,我们在西西里占据着优势,但是迦太基在会战中失败,接着舰队又在海战和风暴中丧失殆尽,连番的失败必然会让迦太基人感到恐慌,如果他们不考虑求和,那么就必须竭尽全力在接下来的战斗中获胜。这样一来,普洛索乌斯所率领的西西里恐怕将面对士兵人数更多、斗志更旺盛、而且绝不会是平庸将领担任统帅的迦太基大军-” „Wait!” Tolmides interposed: „Our fleets have the sea supremacy of Sicily island, can definitely shut off Carthage toward the transporting soldier route in Sicily island, Carthage, even if forms the army again, is still very difficult to land in Sicily.” “等等！”托尔米德插话道:“我们的舰队已经占据了西西里岛的海上优势,完全可以切断迦太基往西西里岛的运兵航路,迦太基即使再组建大军,也很难在西西里登陆。” „The Carthage army in Sicily landing is quite difficult, but is not impossible. Although our fleets have the advantage, but is still far from shuts off the relation of Sicily and Carthage completely.” Purin Towles's calm saying: „ Sailors need food, potable water and rest, was also best the warship to the evening draws in the naval port, conducts the maintenance, can make him maintain the good combat status...... in Sicily, except for the Catania naval port, north, only then Messina, south only then allied country Agrigentum and Gela have the perfect naval port for our fleet very good presences, when if therefore the morning the Sicily fleet from Messina or Agrigento, inspects the Sicily westernmost perhaps to afternoon, they have had to a hurry toward returning...... “迦太基军队在西西里登陆是比较难,但并不是不可能。我们的舰队虽然占据优势,但还谈不上完全切断西西里与迦太基的联系。”普林托尔斯冷静的说道:“水手们需要食物、饮水和休息,战船到了晚上也最好是拖入军港,进行维修保养,才能让其维持良好的作战状态……在西西里,除了卡塔尼亚军港,北面只有墨西拿、南面只有盟邦阿格利真托、杰拉才有完善的军港供我们的舰队很好的驻留,因此如果早上我们的西西里舰队从墨西拿或者阿格里真托出发,巡视到西西里最西端时恐怕已经到了下午,他们就不得不匆匆往回返…… Moreover the present Sicily fleet number greatly reduces, is unable to be divided into 2-3 the minute/share of fleet that has strong battle efficiency goes on patrol in turn, Carthaginians has the time to send the commodity and reinforcements to Sicily. ” 而且现在的西西里舰队数量大大减少,无法分成2-3支具有很强战斗力的分舰队轮流巡逻,迦太基人还是有时间向西西里运送物资和援军的。” „The Sicily fleet can send out the express steamer to monitor in the Sicily western waters in turn-” the words that Tolmides argued just said half, suddenly did not realize right: The express steamer detects the enemy intelligence even, similarly needs to return to the naval port to report, when the fleet rushes again, perhaps the Carthage fleet has entered the harbor. “西西里舰队可以派出快船在西西里西部海域轮流监视-”托尔米德争辩的话刚说了一半,突然意识到不对:快船即使发觉敌情,同样需要返回军港报告,等舰队再赶到时,迦太基船队恐怕已经进入海港了。 Therefore, he changed a statement saying: „Not cannot be stationed in some warships like Sellin Nuse, Heraclea Minoa, you said is right? Rice Dorotheus.” 于是,他改口说道:“像塞林努斯、米诺亚并不是不可以驻扎部分战船,你说对不对？米多拉德斯。” Facing vision that Tolmides casts, actually does not dare to open the mouth in front of Davos as meter/rice Dorotheus of navy commander carelessly, he seriously pondered, said: „From the combat report, Sellin Nuse does not have the naval port, the warship truly also in the ordinary harbor to make short-term presence, but is not good for a long time, will harm the life span of warship, affects its battle efficiency. Naturally, the Sicily army can also construct the simple naval port in Sellin Nuse, but that need time.” 面对托尔米德投来的目光,作为海军指挥官的米多拉德斯在戴弗斯面前却不敢胡乱开口,他认真的思考了一下,说道:“从战报上看,塞林努斯并没有军港,战船确实也可以在普通港口内作短期的驻留,但长时间不行,会损害战船的寿命,影响它的战斗力。当然,西西里军队也可以在塞林努斯修建简易的军港,不过那需要时间。” Rice Dorotheus that „warship stayed too for a long time will harm warship life span the words actually also to say in the ordinary harbor” to Davos, therefore he intended to aggravate the tone, but he puts aside the topic immediately: „As far as I know, best naval port west the Sicily island, so that.” 米多拉德斯那句“战船在普通港口停留太久会损害战船寿命”的话其实也是说给戴弗斯的,所以他有意加重了语气,但他又立刻将话题移开:“据我所知,在西西里岛西端最好的军港是在利利俾。” Tolmides shakes the head immediately: „, so that is Carthage in the Sicily important army town/subdues, like initial Tia, was very difficult to attack it depending on the Ploso Oursse's existing military.” 托尔米德立刻摇头:“利利俾是迦太基在西西里的重要军镇,就像当初的摩提亚一样,光凭普洛索乌斯现有的兵力很难将它攻下来了。” At this time, Purin Towles then topic, said: „Ploso Oursse, although continuous fighting series of successes, but the enemy actually concentrates to withdraw, so that with the Pale Moss two cities, Sir Tolmides had said a moment ago very much clearly, although Ploso Oursse captures, so that can decide the Sicily victory, but in view of the fact that we are unable to increase the huge forces for the Sicily army now again, therefore light/only depends on the eighth regiment unable to achieve. But other attack cities, not only the significance is not big, will also disperse the military, therefore should say that has attacked not to be possible the Sicily army to the present to attack.” 这时,普林托尔斯接着话题,说道:“普洛索乌斯虽然连战连捷,但是敌人却集中龟缩在利利俾和帕勒莫斯两座城镇内,刚才托尔米德大人已经说得很清楚了,虽然普洛索乌斯攻下利利俾,就可以决定西西里的胜局,但鉴于我们现在无法为西西里军队再增加大量兵力,因此光靠第八军团是无法做到的。而进攻其他城镇,不但意义不大,还会分散兵力,所以应该说西西里军队到现在已经攻无可攻了。” At this point, Purin Towles's sincere saying: „Your majesty, should to letting the Sicily military strategy!” 说到这里,普林托尔斯恳切的说道:“陛下,是该到让西西里军队转变战略了！” Tolmides and meter/rice Dorotheus listened to one startled, the Davos look is invariable, but sits in same place, silent did not speak long time, he was clear: Purin Towles this is in the tactful reminder he, before was wrong to Ploso Oursse's instruction. 托尔米德和米多拉德斯听了一惊,戴弗斯却神色不变,但坐在原地,沉默良久不语,他心里清楚:普林托尔斯这是在委婉的提醒他,之前对普洛索乌斯的指示是错误的。 With initial that Carthage battles against, because must the attack focus as centralized as Rome, the war of Davos to Sicily is also holding the cautious attitude, therefore will most start the present command to make Ploso Oursse defend the Sicily kingdom territory, but the eighth regiment wins the Carthage army in the Heraclea Minoa battle, the navy wins in Serrotti Oehm sea level, making him realize Carthaginians was the outwardly strong but inwardly weak, therefore changed the strategy: When let the Sicily land navy attack full power, attempts takes advantage of the enemy rout, follows up a victory with hot pursuit, can more weakens Carthage in the strength of Sicily island, is next step obtains more chances with the decisive battle of Carthage. 在与迦太基开战的最初,因为要将攻击的重心集中到罗马,戴弗斯对西西里的战局还抱着谨慎的态度,所以才会在最开始时下令让普洛索乌斯稳守西西里的王国领地,但是第八军团在米诺亚会战中大胜迦太基军队,海军在塞罗迪厄姆海面获得胜利,让他意识到了迦太基人是外强中干,于是才改变战略:让西西里陆海军全力进攻,企图趁敌人大败之际,乘胜追击,能够更多的削弱迦太基在西西里岛的力量,为下一步与迦太基的决战获得更多的胜机。 Even in the heart, Davos expected that Ploso Oursse can create the miracle again, expels Carthage thoroughly in the Sicily influence. 甚至在内心深处,戴弗斯期望普洛索乌斯能够再创奇迹,彻底赶走迦太基在西西里的势力。 The war conducts now, besides that storm, the attack of Sicily army is smooth, conforms to own expectation......, but were extremely becomes some to be optimistic because of victory one after another? After all that is Carthage! Davos gazes at the staff officer officer who this he is appreciating at present very much, he understands in Purin Towles's words the meaning: He is reminding himself obviously, the Sicily army that Ploso Oursse leads has not conquered the Sicily west ability at one fell swoop, because instead the island of resistance is thorough, understrength, may also be in danger. 战局进行到现在,除了那一场风暴,西西里军队的进攻还算顺利,符合自己的期望……但自己是不是因为接连的胜利而变得有些太过乐观了？毕竟那可是迦太基！戴弗斯注视着眼前这位他很欣赏的参谋官,他明白普林托尔斯的话中之意:他显然是在提醒自己,普洛索乌斯率领的西西里军队并没有一举征服西西里西端的能力,反而由于孤军深入,兵力不足,可能还会陷入危险的境地。 Purin Towles's reminder made Davos think until now has not received the Iberia army that anything lost, thinks Carthage failure one after another likely enabled the Magonid virtue families to grasp the Carthage right, they compared with Hanno(Hannonian), they did not have the aggressiveness, regarded as important Sicily, had rich combat experience, can attack and capture Serrotti Oehm city to see from the Iberia army is quite powerful. 普林托尔斯的提醒让戴弗斯想到了至今为止还没有受到什么损失的伊比利亚军队,想到了迦太基接连的失败很可能让马戈尼德家族重新掌握迦太基的权利,他们可不比汉诺,他们更有侵略性,更看重西西里,同时也更有较丰富的战争经验,从伊比利亚军队能够攻克塞罗迪厄姆城就能看出是相当具有战斗力的。 However according to Davos these years understanding Carthage, Carthage , to form the army to require the time again, the Carthage council senior statesmen wrangled mutually, will let continue to delay this time in the future, even if perhaps that Magon can make the army land Sicily finally, at least still 1-2 months later, but such long time made Ploso Oursse flinch the defense rather is also a pity! By the ability of this young commander, he can definitely stir randomly the Sicily west situation, lets the Carthage army even lands, still needs them to spend more energy and time goes to the stability situation, won more time for the kingdom...... 但是根据戴弗斯这些年对迦太基的了解,迦太基要想再次组建大军本就需要时间,迦太基元老院的元老们相互扯皮,会让这个时间继续往后拖延,恐怕就算那个玛哥能够让军队最终登陆西西里,至少也在1-2月之后,而这么长的时间只是让普洛索乌斯退缩防御也未免太可惜了！以这位年轻指挥官的能力,他完全可以将西西里西端的局势搅得更乱,让迦太基大军即使登陆,也需要他们花费更多的精力和时间去稳定局势,为王国赢得更多的时间…… Davos thinks it over, finally cannot make up mind, therefore he said: „Told Ploso Oursse our worries, making him enhance vigilance, is to continue to attack and flinches the defense decide by he himself, after all he was the Sicily battlefield commander!” Ploso Oursse created the miracle, to win the victory repeatedly, making Davos choose to believe his ability. 戴弗斯思来想去,最终也拿不定主意,于是他说道:“把我们的担心告诉普洛索乌斯,让他提高警惕,是要继续进攻、还是退缩防御由他自己决定,毕竟他才是西西里战场的的指挥官！”普洛索乌斯屡次创造奇迹、赢得胜利,使得戴弗斯选择相信他的能力。 „Yes, your majesty.” Tolmides is saying, the vision actually shoots a look at to nearby Purin Towles, in the heart felt that several points envy and envy: As far as he knows, the decision that Davos makes militarily rarely has because of others' persuasion modifies, but these actually made the compromise time...... “是,陛下。”托尔米德说着,目光却瞥向旁边的普林托尔斯,心中感到几分羡慕和嫉妒:据他所知,戴弗斯在军事上作出的决定很少有因别人的劝说而作出修改的,而这一次却做出了妥协…… Tolmides is just thinking, Davos is actually gazing at Purin Towles, tone serious saying: „Later must raise directly like the suggestion, rather than waits for me to urge to ask! The war is relating the life and death of country, modest and gives precedence out of courtesy possibly makes hundreds and thousands of soldiers lose the life, yes?!” 托尔米德正想着,戴弗斯却注视着普林托尔斯,语气严肃的说道:“以后像这样的建议要直接提出来,而不是等着我来催问！战争关系着国家的生死,谦虚和礼让却可能让成百上千的战士失去生命,明白吗？！” Purin Towles look one cold, immediately ashamed salutes saying: „Got it, your majesty, I will pay attention next time!” 普林托尔斯神色一凛,随即羞愧的行礼说道:“明白了,陛下,下次我会注意！” Tolmides casts the vision that to envy to him again. 托尔米德再次向他投以羡慕的目光。 ....................................... ………………………………… After the military conference ended, Davos also summoned kingdom senior statesman of new promote- his brother-in-law Alshvang Pieters, Thurii shipbuilding big merchant Mick Reyes. 军事会议结束后,戴弗斯又召见了新晋的王国元老-他的大舅子阿尔西比达斯,还有图里伊的造船大商人米克瑞斯。 These two in the Kingdom of Theonia ship-building industry famous big merchant, Davos were called them to come, naturally was hopes that they can take the lead in cooperating with the kingdom together, speed up to the construction of warship, because the state treasury was tight, but also hopes that they can agree the kingdom can the temporary buy on credit their shipbuilding expense, naturally the kingdom also give them to compensate after the war correspondingly, for example: Eases the ban of felling trees to them...... 这两位都是在戴奥尼亚王国造船业有名的大商人,戴弗斯叫他们来,当然是希望他们能够带头和王国一起合作,加快对战船的建造,并且由于国库紧张,还希望他们能够同意王国能够暂时赊欠他们的造船费用,当然王国也会在战后给予他们相应的补偿,比如:对他们放宽砍伐树木的禁令…… To Mick Reyes, Davos also talked about the end of sentence to release and stay Arney Luse emphatically in home, he emphasized: The mistake that Arney Luse makes obtains enough penalty, but now the kingdom has been expanding, all officials are always insufficient, Arney Luse once was a senior statesman, but also has held the post of nauarch, administration was experienced, can definitely come out for the kingdom potency again. 对米克瑞斯,戴弗斯还着重谈到了早已刑满释放、一直呆在家中的恩阿尼卢斯,他强调:恩阿尼卢斯所犯的错误已经得到了足够的惩罚,而现在王国一直在扩张,各级官员始终不足,恩阿尼卢斯曾经是元老,还担任过海军统帅,行政经验丰富,完全可以再出来为王国效力。 Listened to the Davos words, Mick Reyes is excited exceptionally, said immediately: After he goes back, will persuade Arney Luse to come out to work full power. 听了戴弗斯的话,米克瑞斯兴奋异常,当即表示:他回去后,会全力劝说恩阿尼卢斯出来做事。
