莫尔巴尔虽然获得了一场海战的胜利,但他的心情并不愉悦,反而愈发沉重,不是因为担任诱饵的迦太基商船水手的伤亡太高,而是他发现戴奥尼亚海军实力的强大,因此他在回到迦太基港口之后,当民众在欢呼着来之不易的海战胜利时,他却给元老院写了一封信。In the letter/believes, hesummarized the entire process of thisnaval battle, thenmentionedemphatically: Hethinksnow the Theonianavynot onlysurpassedCarthagein the overall strength, the tactic that but alsoitsimplementsalsoleadsCarthage, the training, fighting spiritandability that the Theoniacrewundergoalsocompared withCarthagenavy, in a short time the Carthagenavyis impossibleto recapture the Sicilywestern waters the leading power, the warcontinues, evenalsopossiblyloses the controlto the Africancoast, makingCarthagebe underfrom the marinethreatdirectly.

在信中,他简述了这场海战的整个过程,然后着重提到:他认为如今戴奥尼亚海军不但在整体实力上超过了迦太基,而且其所实行的战术也领先迦太基,戴奥尼亚船员们所经受的训练、斗志、能力也比迦太基海军强,在短时间内迦太基海军不可能重新夺回西西里西部海域的主导权,战争持续下去,甚至还可能失去对阿非利加海岸的控制权,让迦太基直接面临来自海上的威胁。为了迦太基的安全,应该暂时与戴奥尼亚进行议和,赢得时间、重建加太极海军,针对戴奥尼亚海军制定新的海军战术,加强训练,以便将来重新夺回海上的主导权……When the content of thisletter/believeswhencouncilread out, immediatelystirs the controversyin the conference site.
当这封信的内容在元老院被宣读时,顿时在会场引起轩然大波。Somepersonsostraightforwardsayingfrank talks, MooreBarr -based the prestige and positioninnavy, the words that hespoke for the first time are more credible, buthas braggedis„west the Mediterraneannaval powers” the Carthageconcealingcotton clothingtore off, makingmanysenior statesmenregarding thisextremelydiscontented, particularlyhealsomentioned that „with the Theoniapeace negotiation”, touchedreverse scale of certainpeople.
第一次有人如此直白的说出大实话,基于莫尔巴尔本人的声望和在海军中的地位,他所说的话更为可信,但是一直自诩是“西地中海海上强国”的迦太基的遮羞布被扯掉,使得不少元老对此非常不满,尤其是他还提到“同戴奥尼亚议和”,更是触到了某些人的逆鳞。
The MagonidvirtueFactionheaded by Prestat Kubba, attacksgreatly. TheycriticizeMooreBarrextremelyinold, absolutelydid not have the courageof one's youth, will consume the great quantityresources, to gather the sohugearmy, soon in both countries an unprecedentedwardetermined the nationaldestiny, hesaysthesevacillationpeoplemoralewords, if not know that hewasCarthagemademanycontributionsover about past dozens years, certainlythinks that hewas the Carthagerebel, wantedto betray the Carthageinterests, thereforeinsuch an importantwar, the innermost feelingstimidMooreBarrhas not matchedholds the post ofCarthagenauarchagain.
以普雷塔库巴为首的马戈尼德派,对此大加抨击。他们批评莫尔巴尔太过于年迈,完全没有了年轻时的勇气,在两国都耗费了巨量的资源、聚集起如此庞大的军队、即将进行一场前所未有的大战来决定国家命运之际,他却说出这些动摇民众士气的话语,如果不是知道他过去几十年来为迦太基做出了不少的贡献,一定会认为他是迦太基的叛徒,想要出卖迦太基的利益,所以在这样一场重要的战争中,内心已经胆怯的莫尔巴尔已经不配再担任迦太基海军统帅。But the Hanno(Hannonian)factionheaded byHanno(Hannonian)supportsMooreBarr. TheypraiseMooreBarrvigorously the pastwasso manymerits that Carthageperformed, heclearlyknows that nowsaidthesewordswill harmhispastprestige, buthewassaidbravely, explained that hewas a truepatriot. In the Carthagecitizen, does not haveMooreBarr more experiencedagainandmore knowledgeablenavygeneral, evenhebelieveslike this that this indicated the Carthagenavywas truly in an inferior position, such being the case, shouldbeforejustobtain a naval battlevictory, has not appeared the obviousdeclining tendency, with the Theoniapeace negotiation, ismost correct, mostdid not have the approach of selfishness.
而以汉诺为首的汉诺派则是力挺莫尔巴尔。他们大力赞扬莫尔巴尔无论是过去为迦太基所立下的那么多的功绩,还是现在他明知道说这些话会有损于他过去的威望、但他还是勇敢的说了出来,都说明他是一个真正的爱国者。在迦太基公民中,再也没有比莫尔巴尔更有经验、更有见识的海军将领,连他都这样认为,这说明迦太基海军确实处于劣势,既然如此,就应该趁着刚刚获得一场海战胜利、还没有显现出明显颓势之前,与戴奥尼亚议和,才是最正确的、最没有私心的做法。But the independentactuallydisplayssomedifferencesinthisissue. The youngsenior statesmanthinksheaded by Erre Accra: Carthagehad consumed the great quantitywealthforthiswar, whenwill soon conduct the war, decides the victory and defeat, suddenlymustnegotiate peace, suchactionnot onlywill make the city-statepeoplefeel the doubts, will welcomearistocrats'protest, councilis unable to confessto the citizens. SinceMagonhas held the post of the command of Carthagearmy, has not encountered the failure( theynot to calculateSellinNuse'snight assaultwith the fight of Theoniaarmyinobviously), perhaps the Carthagenavywantsto be worse than the Theonianavy, but the army of Magoncommandwantsto be stronger than the Theoniaarmy, otherwisewhy doesn't the Theoniaarmydareto attackusnowon own initiative? So long ascanachieve the success of battlein the Sicilyarmy, the entirewarwill have very bigdifference, when the time comesisfights, is, wewill havemanyinitiatives.
而中立派在这个问题上却表现出有些分歧。年轻一些的元老以埃尔阿克拉为首认为:迦太基已经为这场战争耗费了巨量的钱财,在即将进行大战、决出胜负的时候,突然要进行议和,这样的举动不但会让城邦民众感到疑惑,也会迎来贵族们的抗议,元老院将无法向公民们交代。而且自从玛哥担任迦太基陆军的统帅以来,在同戴奥尼亚军队的战斗中还没有遭遇失败(他们显然没有将塞林努斯的夜袭算在内),也许迦太基海军比戴奥尼亚海军要差些,但玛哥统帅的陆军比戴奥尼亚陆军还是要强一些的,否则为什么现在戴奥尼亚军队不敢主动进攻我们?只要在西西里的军队能够获得会战的胜利,整个战局就会有很大的不同,到时候是战、是和,我们都会有更多的主动。SuggestedbyEssoldsenior statesmenheaded by Palestineambiguously: Canfirstsend the envoyto go to the Theoniabigcampin the name ofpeace negotiation, firstunderstood that attitude of Theonian the peace negotiationtoward the condition that as well astheyput forward, thenbrings back the councildiscussion.
以艾斯亚鲁巴为首的老元老们则含糊的建议:可以先派使者以议和的名义前往戴奥尼亚的大营,先了解一下戴奥尼亚人对议和的态度以及他们所提的条件,再拿回元老院讨论。In fact, Essfelt: By the Theoniandomineeringdiplomatically, under the presentsituation, the condition that theywill put forward will be quite certainly harsh, the Carthagepeoplewill certainly not accept, thiscaneliminateincouncilto sendheaded byHanno(Hannonian)attempt that the senior statesmenwill wantto compromise, will letfacingthiswar that entirecouncilcanwork as one.
实际上,艾斯亚鲁巴觉得:以戴奥尼亚人在外交上的强势,在现在的局势下,他们所提的条件一定会比较苛刻,迦太基民众一定不会接受,这样就可以打消元老院中以汉诺派为首的元老们想要妥协的企图,让整个元老院都能够齐心协力的面对这场战争。But the idea of Hanno(Hannonian) is actually: BeforesuddenlyCleetonhad also mentioned the peace negotiation, buteveryonewhenhespeaks the joke. Buttheseproposed the peace negotiationtime, evenfinallycannotsucceed, but can actually leave behind a markin the senior statesmenheart. Whenhas the situationchangenexttimeagain, spokehimto raiseagain, then the successfulpossibility was very big.
但汉诺的想法却是:以前俄克里顿也提到过议和,但大家都当他是说笑话。而这一次提出议和,即使最后没能成功,但却可以在元老们心中留下一个印记。等到下一次再出现局势变化时,再讲他提出来,那么成功的可能性就很大了。Because„with the Theoniapeace negotiation”is a veryimportantsubject, the senior statesmen the vigorousargument, is unable to make the decisionfor several days.
由于“与戴奥尼亚议和”是一个非常重要的议题,元老们一连几天都在激烈的争论,根本无法作出决定。However, theyhave not forgotten the proper business, sends peopleto remindMooreBarrpersuasively: The letter/believes that hewrites, the senior statesmenhave known,anddiscussed. Asnauarch, howheshouldput inmoreenergyintoleads the fleetprotects the routewithSicilywestwell, moreto annihilate the Theoniawarship.
不过,他们也没有忘记正事,派人去婉转的提醒莫尔巴尔:他所写的信,元老们都已经知道,并就此进行了商讨。作为海军统帅,他应该将更多的精力投入到如何率领舰队保护好与西西里西部之间的航路、更多的歼灭戴奥尼亚的战船。MooreBarrverydisgruntledexpelled the Carthagenaval port the councilenvoy.
莫尔巴尔十分不悦的将元老院的使者赶出了迦太基军港。................................................

Since Milojacomes back, hewill closein the bedroom, a persontreatedentiremost of the day.
从米洛亚回来之后,他就将自己关在了卧室里,一个人待了整整大半天。By the dusk, hewent out of the door, making the guardinform various minute/share of fleets of Sicilyfleetto commandto comeimmediatelyto meet.
到了黄昏,他走出房门,让卫兵立刻去通知西西里舰队的各分舰队统领前来开会。SteeFarkasand other peoplecatch upin a hurry.
斯特法卡斯等三人匆匆赶来。
After Sekrianseesthem, immediately the news that will knowfromKing Davostherewill tellthem.塞克利安见到他们之后,立刻就将从戴弗斯国王那里知道的消息告诉了他们。Threepeoplelook at each other in blank dismay, being startled that on the facecould not say, SteeFarkas, hehas not thoughtparticularly: Inoneselflead a minute/share of fleetrigid, when the sea area of thatmanyislandpursues the Carthagemerchant ship, is away fromhe not farnorth, Carthaginiansunexpectedlyalsoboldtransports the military baggagewiththousands ofmerchantsto the Sicilyarmy, butoneselfhad not detectedunexpectedly!
三人面面相觑,脸上说不出的吃惊,尤其是斯特法卡斯,他万万没有想到:就在自己率领分舰队执着的在那片多岛的海域追逐迦太基商船的时候,就在距离他不远的北面,迦太基人居然还大胆的用数以千计的商船给西西里军队运送辎重,而自己居然没有察觉!Sekrianlooks by threepeople of attack, the sinkingsoundis said: „ Thiswesuffered the failuretime, butthisdid not complain aboutyou, the responsibilitymainlyinme, the duty that myexecutionDavosyour majestygavestereotypically, the Sicilyfleetstrengthhas the enormousadvantageobviously, is actually considering only the patrolSicilysea area, was quite therefore turned into the defenseby the originalattack, butinbroadsea , to defendwithout doubt the unusualdifficulty, met the deceitfulenemyagain, madeusverypassive!塞克利安看着备受打击的三人,沉声说道:“这一次我们遭遇了失败,但这并不怨你们,责任主要在我,我过于呆板的执行戴弗斯陛下给予的任务,明明西西里舰队实力占据着极大的优势,却只顾着巡逻西西里海域,相当于是由原来的进攻变成了防御,而在广阔的大海上要想防御无疑会非常的困难,再遇上狡诈的敌人,就让我们非常的被动!OurTheonianavysinceestablishment, evenwhensmallest and weakest, stilldepends on that the boldattackrather than the conservativedefensewins, the attackis the instinct of ourTheonianavy, thereforeIdecideto change the beforehandapproach, activelaunches the attacktoCarthageas well asitsPhoeniciaallied country, attacksthem the territoryinAfrica, changesourpassivesituations, boosts the morale of entirefleet! ”
我们戴奥尼亚海军自从建立以来,即使在最弱小的时候,也是靠着大胆的进攻而不是保守的防御获得的胜利,进攻是我们戴奥尼亚海军的天性,所以我决定改变之前的做法,积极主动的向迦太基以及其腓尼基盟邦发动进攻,袭击他们在阿非利加的领地,改变我们被动的态势,提振整个舰队的士气!”Threepeoplelistened, the spiritinspires, butalsosomewhatworried: „Sir, your majestymakesusconcentrateblockades the Sicilysea areafull power, ifattacks, weare unable to conduct the cruiseagain, your majestyknows that wehave not carried outhisorder, thatis-”
三人听了,精神一振,但也有些担忧:“大人,陛下让我们集中全力封锁西西里海域,如果进攻的话,我们就无法再进行巡航,陛下知道我们没有执行他的命令,那可是-”„Don't worry!”Sekrianself-confidentsaying: „ Iremember that your majestyhad once said that ‚attackis the bestdefense.’So long aswedoseveralsuccessfulsurprise attacks, Carthaginianswill be worried the security of theirnative place, does not dareto maketheirfleetsoptionalfar away from the Africancoast , after will letgeneral of Carthagefleet, is hardto judge that the action of ourSicilyfleetisattacksorcruises , helping usblockade the Sicilysea area!
“不用担心!”塞克利安自信的说道:“我记得陛下曾说过,‘进攻就是最好的防御。’只要我们搞几次成功的突袭,迦太基人就会担心他们本土的安全,再不敢让他们的舰队随意的远离阿非利加海岸,也会让迦太基舰队的将领们以后难以判断我们西西里舰队的行动是进攻还是巡航,更有利于我们封锁西西里海域!Moreover, as far as I know, the territoryandallied country of CarthageinAfricaneverhad also been attacked, ifwesucceed, thatwill be a greatesthonor, butCarthaginianswill be vibratedenormously, perhapswill also change the war of nowin the Sicilyislandrefusing to compromise, will producetowemore advantageousinfluence! ”
另外,据我所知,迦太基在阿非利加的领地和盟邦还从未被袭击过,如果我们成功,那将会是一个莫大的荣誉,而迦太基人则将会受到极大的震动,说不定还会改变如今西西里岛上僵持的战局,产生对我们更有利的影响!”
After SekrianDavoscriticizes, closes doorto think deeply aboutfor quite a while, considerscomprehensively, hesaidoneselfideaconfidently, emphasizedone: „Ihave sent out the messenger, rushes toHeraclea Minoa, toldyour majestymynewplan, believes that hewill certainly authorize.”塞克利安被戴弗斯批评之后,闭门思索了大半天,考虑得更加全面,他胸有成竹的说完自己的想法,又强调了一句:“我已经派出信使,赶往米诺亚,将我新的计划告诉陛下,相信他一定会批准的。”Threerankfleetscommandare convincedbyhimimmediately, SteeFarkas'searnestasking: „Sir, where do youprepareto attack?”
三位分舰队统领立刻被他说服,斯特法卡斯热切的问道:“大人,你准备进攻哪里?”Sekrianhas prepared the goodmapto the table the handpoint.塞克利安将手点向桌案上早就准备好的地图。Threepeoplecollectpreviousto look,calls out in alarm: „DrugateThum?!”
三人凑前一看,不由惊呼:“哈德鲁门图姆?!”
