Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 215: About Egypt

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Cloto Catacs is no longer a simple young man who graduated from Turíy School. Winning the Greek war and serving as a consul, for five years, he has actively participated in the administration of the kingdom's government...Under Daves' deliberate training, Cloto Kataks has grown into a qualified leader with both civil and military skills.

Of course, he will no longer only think about problems based on his likes and dislikes, but more from the height of the kingdom to consider the gains and losses of the overall interests, so after pondering for a while, he did not express his opposition, but was just a little worried. Reminded: "Father, we are about to launch an offensive against Persia. At this time, we have to conquer Egypt. Will it affect the original military plan? After all, Egypt is an ancient kingdom with its own unique civilization. The population is large and the political situation is complicated. It may not be easy to conquer it. If it arouses the continued resistance of the Egyptians and causes the war to be delayed, it will be troublesome."

"Does not rule out this possibility." Daves nodded slightly, and said, "So we must try our best to avoid such a situation. From the historical point of view, today's Egyptians are not a strong nation. Over the years, they were successively invaded and ruled by Ethiopians and Persians. Today, the dynasty established by Tanibu is also dominated by Libyans. For most of the time, the Egyptian people have been more obedient, so why did they do it again? Can’t be ruled by our Dionians?

After all, Dionia has been in close trade with Egypt over the years, and our cheap and high-quality goods have flooded the Egyptian people in large quantities. Egyptian businessmen and civilians have a good impression of us. And because the two countries are alliances, the troops we have sent to Egypt in recent years strictly observe discipline, do not harass the local people, and do not force them to buy or sell. They always take the lead when fighting, and their performance is far better than that of Egypt’s own troops. Won a good reputation, which laid a good foundation for us to conquer Egypt in the future. "

Daves paused, pondered for a while, regained his thoughts, and then slowly and confidently and firmly stated his long-thought thoughts: "As long as we can do the following, I believe that the situation you are worried about will not happen, and our rule over Egypt will be very stable! First, you are right just now, Egypt is indeed a kingdom with a unique civilization, and its history is so long that we can’t use it. The method of governing other areas is to govern Egypt, and it must first be regarded as a unique area of ​​the kingdom, and ruled by the method of the Egyptian pharaoh——"

"Using the method of the Egyptian pharaoh..." Croto Kataks thoughtfully.

"Although we Dionians believe in Hades and other gods as well, when the Egyptians are far more pious to gods than we are, they devote all their lives to gods before and after death. The gods dominate We must get the support of the Egyptian monks, like Tanib, to recognize the rights they once had, to recognize their autonomy in the upper reaches of the Nile, and to prevent the Hades faith from spreading in Egypt. So they have their full cooperation to help us consolidate our rule in Egypt."

Hearing this, Croto Kataks stopped talking.

Davers knew what his son was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said gently, "As Hades's children, we have done a lot for him. I think he will forgive us! After all, that It is a very ancient land, and the gods there are older than him. He should never expect to be recognized by the Egyptians..."

Crotokatax was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"Secondly, I have read in detail the information about Egypt collected by the intelligence department. In the past when these aliens ruled the Egyptians, Persia faced the most fierce resistance. Why? Because the Persian king took all the land of the Egyptian delta Assigned to the Persian nobles, those Persian nobles regarded the Egyptians in their fiefs as slaves, and their oppression was extremely serious, and of course they would be fiercely resisted by the Egyptians. Why did that Artaxerxes attack Egypt several times? I'm afraid Behind this is the vigorous promotion of the Egyptian nobles, because they are unwilling to give up this piece of land that makes them richer.

And if we conquer Egypt, we must learn a lesson. We should not colonize the areas that we conquered in the past. Instead, we must try not to colonize Egypt or compete with the Egyptians for land..."

Davers stretched out two fingers, and solemnly said: "Theocratic power and land, as long as we basically maintain the status quo of Egypt and do not make major changes, I think Dionia will be able to quickly conquer Egypt and quickly To stabilize it!"

"Theocracy and the land..." Cloto Kataks murmured, hesitantly asked: "Father, is the concession we made a bit too big? Will it be left to rule Egypt in the future? A huge hidden danger?"

"Look, I didn't want to conquer Egypt just now, but now I'm worried about power." Daves said jokingly.

"Father, I—" Croto Kataks was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain.

Davers smiled and waved his hand and said: "We have paid a lot of concessions, but as long as we can quickly stabilize Egypt, we will get a large granary and a stable territory in the Eastern Mediterranean! We are after all Outsiders, if they want to be recognized by the Egyptians, they are compelled to make big concessions at the beginning, but as time goes by, the Egyptian people have completely accepted the rule of Dionia and fully recognized Hades Daves. The royal family is the supreme ruler of Egypt. At that time, we will gradually make some changes to the governance of Egypt...

The unique culture of Egypt has gradually formed over a long period of time. We must be patient and impatient! "

Clotokatax pondered for a moment, and agreed with it.

"Okay, now our father and son have reached a consensus on the issue of Egypt." Daves patted the chair and asked, "If we really want to send troops to conquer Egypt, who do you think will be the leader? The most suitable?"

"Prossous." Croto Kataks said without hesitation: "His military command ability is one of the best in the kingdom, and his political resilience is not weak. He is also very loyal to the kingdom. The important thing is that he has experience in fighting in Egypt and is the most suitable candidate!"

"Proseus is indeed a very suitable candidate, but using him to conquer Egypt would be too much of an underhand." Daves shook his head, and then spit out a person's name: "Let Calcidis lead the troops on the expedition. Yes."

"Seventh Army Commander Karsidis..." Now Cloto Kataks is also very familiar with the kingdom's army and generals, and he immediately recalled the history of this general.

Daves has already said: "When Proseus was the commander of the Eighth Army, Calcidis, as the Catanes, was the first commander of the Eighth Army. During the war against Carthage His performance was very good, and he was promoted to legion commander after the war. In the Greek War, Proseus led his army to rescue Egypt. Karsidis’ eighth legion was the main force and contributed the most in the defensive battle against the Persians and performed the best. ...It can be seen that he has strong military capabilities and is also familiar with Egypt.

And unlike Proseus, his communicative skills are not weak and he is good at handling the relationship between the army and the people. The Eighth Army’s report submitted by the Ministry of Military Affairs specifically mentioned in Egypt’s battle report, “Everything is the eighth. In the towns where the regiment was stationed, Egyptian officials and people actively cooperated. 'We want to conquer Egypt and reduce the Egyptian people's hatred of Dionia. We need a commander who can handle the relationship between the two flexibly! "

After listening to Daves’ explanation, Cloto Catacs had no opinion on Karsidis’s appointment as the army commander in the attack on Egypt. He just reminded softly: "Father, these plans we made They are all based on the possible death of Jiehao. If Jiehao is lucky to be alive, the alliance and friendship between the kingdom and Egypt should continue to be maintained..."

"This is natural! However, it is best to prepare for anything in advance to avoid being caught off guard when the accident does happen. After everything is ready, everything depends on whether Hades is blessed..." Daves spoke in a flat tone, but an imperceptible stern flashed in his eyes.

Then, he said in a more accented tone: "But if Jie Hao is really killed, apart from letting Calsidis lead his army to attack Egypt, the plan to attack Persia formulated by the Ministry of Military Affairs may be intensified. Conquest. The Greek coalition forces in Persia should be formed as soon as possible. I am going to let Prosius act as the coalition commander and launch an attack on Asia Minor as soon as possible to contain Persia and prevent it from attacking Egypt, which will seriously affect our conquest of Egypt.

After the games are over, the kingdom will immediately carry out military mobilization. I will lead the main force of the kingdom's army to Egypt to stabilize the situation there as soon as possible! During the war, the kingdom's affairs will inevitably be numerous, and pressures from all sides will increase. Moreover, all the elite troops of the kingdom are transferred to the Eastern Mediterranean, and the domestic defense force is also significantly reduced...

But in terms of administration, Cipros, Anta Auris, and Haka will assist you. In the military, Olivers and Plintors will do their best to help you. I am also going to let your brother-in-law Patlock Los stayed behind Turri to protect the safety of the kingdom, but the burden on your shoulders is still not light! "

"Father, don't worry! I will do my best to maintain the stability and prosperity of the country, waiting for you to return in triumph!" Cloto Kataks said in a deep voice.

Davers looked closely at Fenghua Zhengmao's son with a soft gaze, but his expression was a little complicated.
