The continent across the sea from the Iberian Peninsula is Africa. Cross the Strait of Gibraltar and come to North Africa. This is the territory of the Kingdom of Numidia, and a large area of Mauritania and Numidia is the territory of Numidia.

Perhaps because of the vast and sparsely populated territory of North Africa, the land has always seemed peaceful. Everyone lives in a demarcated border and does not disturb each other.

The Kingdom of Numidia was located in western North Africa, with a large population spread along the coast in the north.

Most of the interior is wilderness and desert, and after a long journey to the south, there is a city called Dimidi in an oasis in the middle of the Gaturia wilderness. Continuing south through the Sahara Desert, there is an oasis that is the deepest stronghold in the interior of Numidia, the small town of Neput.

The Numidian cavalry was the main mercenary of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal. The advantage of this cavalry is that it is particularly mobile, it also belongs to the category of light cavalry, and it is not very strong. But there is a saying: the sword in the hands of ordinary people is no match for the stones thrown by masters.

The principle means that the focus of everything is on utilization.

The central region of North Africa is the territory of Carthage. Africa has a nice natural harbor. From Carthage, sail north, and the nearest landing point is Sicily, which is occupied by three kingdoms. Carthage owned the region of Lower Sicilia, the Romans occupied Upper Sicilya, and the Greeks created a large colonial city, Syracuse. It is a very rich island, rich in agriculture, fruits, natural resources, and Sicily's good transportation and trade location. These economic interests have stimulated the desire of countries to control the island.

The disputes on the island never stopped, and eventually broke out in the form of war. Carthage, Rome, and Greece were at war with each other for a long time.

Later, the Roman Scipio family used diplomatic fraud to stabilize the Carthaginians and storm the ancient city of Syrac, thus uprooting Greek outposts in the Mediterranean. And increased their own influence on the island. As a result, the Carthaginians in Lower Sicilia appeared to be weak-mouthed and weak.

Obviously, the Carthaginians had a special affection for the sea, and even the direction of their expansion was towards the sea, and they were not interested in the barren adjacent lands.

The Numidian king, however, always insisted that it was the Carthaginians who had taken possession of their territory in Africa, and that sooner or later he would have to take back what was rightfully his.

Heading east through Carthage, came the city of Velek Pletes, a desert region called Tripolitania.

Then there is the western port, which is a natural harbour. The Pharaoh of Egypt had already taken it for himself. They occupied the entire region of East and North Africa, and used it as a base to enter the Middle East and move north along the coast, taking over fertile lands such as Judea and Phoenicia along the way. Now it is competing with Seleucus for hegemony in the Middle East.

North Africa is a relatively well-organized theater of operations, but marching is time-consuming. Full use of the navy to assist in transporting troops could be made, except that there was no landing beach on a long stretch of coast far east of Sirani. This creates a problem for naval transport.

Because it is very unsafe for the army to stay on a ship for a long time. In the event of an attack by a large enemy fleet, naval losses are inevitable in the war, and elite troops will sink to the bottom of the sea together. If the fleet is destroyed, the land forces carried on board will cease to exist.

At this time, the warships were divided into double-column galleons, three-column galleons and five-column warships, the most advanced one was called the seven-column cross-sailing warship, and so far, most of the maritime countries only have drawings.

The Macedonian Navy was divided into two fleets, one was the main fleet under the command of Admiral Phillips. The fleet was equipped with two three-column sailing ships and four double-lined warships, which were medium-to-small in size.

This fleet was a naval division that had participated in the Roman Wars in its entirety, with extremely strong combat capabilities and rich experience in naval warfare.

The other was the Aegean Fleet, commanded by Neoptrimos.

The main task of this fleet was to guard the trade lanes of the Aegean Sea and to secure the water surface of the east coast. The scale is on the small side, but they are very convenient and efficient to replenish.

The Kingdom of Macedonia is now in an upward period of flourishing development. The people of the country are stable and united, and the morale of the army is strong. The land area has expanded several times overward.

In the north of the homeland there was the Sixth Legion under the command of Abrias, which intimidated the Dacians.

Still, the Dacians have been on the verge of making a move lately. But even if there was a war, Abrias would not be alone. Because the 7th Legion stationed in the city of Catalan was already ready. Oonos would work in tandem with Abrias to threaten Dacia from two directions.

Towards the end of the war on the Eastern Front, the Expeditionary Force, Terris Regiment, led by Zoros Echnos, swept away the coast of the Euxaine Sea and advanced into the heart of Scythia, Sarmatia, to occupy the city. Four of the five major cities of Scythia had been conquered by Macedonia.

Only a small number of Scythian herders living in Ajani were left huddled in the Caucasus, shivering. When the next spring blooms, Zoiros will further wipe out the remnants or bandits around Meotis and the Bosphorus, and then lead the Macedonian army to wipe out Scythia once and for all.

On the Western Front, the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea returned to its former lull.

Once, here, the beaches of Epirus and Ettoria. The tenacious Macedonian army held back the Roman legions that were coming like a tidal wave.

Not only did they all wipe them out, but they also lost no time in uprooting the Roman outpost of bridgehead - Apollonia.

The Macedonian army gained the absolute initiative. The next step will be the Macedonian counter-offensive against Rome.

The main problem now is the cost of feeding the front-line troops; The integration of the new people of the new kingdom. King Antigone has been busy with these matters since he returned to the capital, Thessaloniki.

Grain, grass, and daily necessities can be taken from enemy countries or newly occupied cities, but the main weapons and equipment need to be transported from the mainland. The army could be appropriately supplemented by a portion of the new obedient people, but the main force of the army also needed to be filled by loyal Macedonians. There are always more warriors from their own tribe than from other tribes.

These are all necessary measures to ensure the combat effectiveness of the front-line corps. Fresh Macedonian blood was to be delivered to the legions in front of them without interruption.

When it comes to national integration, this is probably a headache for all conquerors.

Antigone always tried to be benevolent to the new people, accepting all kinds of different cultures and different customs. At the same time, it is stepping up to carry out another practical and effective approach, colonization. This is the panacea for opening up the problem of occupied territories.
