"Chapter 448: The Alliance of the Two Countries"

The original human was spherical in shape, with two individuals glued together back to back, with two faces, eight hands and feet, and two pairs of genitalia. Zeus and the gods www.biquge.info fearing that humans were too powerful and disrespectful to the gods, split the spherical man in half. So each of us is always looking for a partner who is united with ourselves.

- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

After getting everything he wanted, little Hanno returned to his Baisasian with honor and gain; Before parting, Hanno the Younger also held private talks with many nobles in Carthage, and reached one covenant after another.

In fact, the reason why little Hanno was able to put forward so many constructive suggestions was not his own efforts at all, but from an important think tank around him; That's Tahiti, sent by Oscar's personal order!

Tahiti's original mission was to build the intelligence network of the Jinyiwei in North Africa, but as the situation developed, the intelligence network of the Jinyiwei organization also expanded rapidly; Until now, Jinyiwei has basically covered the entire North African region.

Originally, when Jinyiwei was still in the development stage, Tahiti only needed to sit in Mauritania; But with the rapid development of the Jinyiwei, Tahiti had to move out of remote Mauritania to the kingdom of Carthage, where information was more easily transmitted.

It just so happened that at this time, little Hanno also got into contact with the Augustan family; As a result, Tahiti was sent by Oscar to Hanno Jr.'s side, and began to advise Hanno Jr. and provide him with all kinds of information he needed.

Because of the limited strength of the House of Augustus, it was simply impossible to interfere too much in the affairs of the Carthaginian kingdom itself; Therefore, the Augustus family could only pin their hopes on the wedge of little Hanno.

Helping Hanno the Younger build a private army belonging to the Hanno family was only the first step for the Augustan family to intervene in the internal affairs of the Carthaginian kingdom; Tahiti's existence is not only to give advice to little Hanno, but also to monitor little Hanno's every move.

In fact, Hanno Jr. was far more naïve than Oscar expected; Little Hanno, who had risen to high positions at a young age, had no ability to correspond to it at all, and he even relied on Tahiti sent by the Augustus family as a confidant and bribed him.

In the face of Hanno Jr.'s bribe, Tahiti turned around and reported Hanno's selfishness to Oscar; For the sake of the Augustus family's North African strategy, Oscar not only did not get angry, but took advantage of the situation to let Tahiti pretend to accept the bribe of Hanno Jr.

With Tahiti's hypothetical accession, little Hanno became even more dependent on Tahiti; Not only did he consult Tahiti on everything, but he was even more obedient and unsuspecting to Tahiti's words.

However, Tahiti did not disappoint Hanno Jr. either; With his ability and the resources of the Augustan family, he helped little Hanno step by step to win the position of governor of Baisasian Province, and gave advice to little Hanno to win the support of a considerable number of nobles.

Tahiti's exhaustion was naturally seen by little Hanno, and as a result, little Hanno trusted Tahiti even more, and would not hide even the most private things from Tahiti; Hanno the Younger even justifiably appointed Tahiti as the acting governor of the province of Baisasion!

In addition, the secret army of the Hanno family, which was formed with the help of the Augustan family, was also generously handed over to Tahiti for responsibility; In other words, this secret army of the Hanno family is actually controlled by Tahiti.

Of course, Tahiti did not disappoint little Hanno either; No matter how much power and trust Hanno Jr. gave Tahiti, Tahiti was still respectful in front of Little Hanno and wholeheartedly gave advice to Little Hanno, which moved Little Hanno.

There is no doubt that this trip to Carthage by Hanno the Younger was written by Tahiti; The suggestions made by Hanno the Younger in the Carthaginian Senate were also the strategies that Tahiti had conceived for the Younger Hanno in advance, and the Younger Hanno was just reading from the script.

In fact, these strategies provided by Tahiti to Hanno the Younger were not proposed by Tahiti himself, they were all thought up by the think tank of the Augustan family, and they were currently the most beneficial strategies for the Carthaginian kingdom.

Although the Augustus' own strategy in North Africa also included the elimination of the Carthaginian kingdom, this had to be done by the Augustus, and no other powers could be allowed to take the lead; Otherwise, the original balance on the North African continent will be completely upset.

With the wealth of the two provinces of the Carthaginian kingdom itself, only when these two provinces are in the hands of the corrupt and incompetent Carthaginian kingdom, can the Augustan family be safe and bold to develop their own family territory; Otherwise, the Augustan family would not be at ease.

Whether it was the ambitious Adheba or the ambitious Jugurdah, as long as one of these two occupied the provinces of Afrika and Baisasion in the Kingdom of Carthage; They would quickly become powerful and replace the Kingdom of Carthage as the overlord of North Africa.

This is not the situation that the Augustus family wants to see; Therefore, Tahiti helped Hanno the Younger to come forward to save the Carthaginian kingdom from danger, and let him gain more power and benefits.

Hanno the Younger's trust in Tahiti determined that everything he had could not be hidden from the Augustan family; Since the Augustus family has complete control over little Hanno, why not help him become strong quickly?

You must know that Hanno the Younger's power was established from the very beginning with the help of the Augustan family; Now, Tahiti has a pivotal position in Hanno Jr.'s power, which is the key to the Augustus' decision to support Hanno Jr.

In the future, if the opportunity is right, the presence of Tahiti can easily replace Hanno Jr.; Then, with the developed little Hanno forces, it was logical to merge into the Augustan family, and this result was the result that Oscar wanted.

This time, Hanno the Younger, relying on Tahiti's strategy, not only increased the garrison of Baissasien by 20,000, but also made himself the supreme commander of the 29,000-strong army of Baisassien; This simplicity was unbelievable to little Hanno.

What made little Hanno even more excited was that he not only gained the popularity of the Carthaginian nobles, but was also awarded the honorary position of senior senator by the Carthaginian Senate; This is an honor that my father only received when he was forty years old!

Naturally, little Hanno knew who had helped him get all this, so, after leaving the city of Carthage; On the way back to the province of Baissasien, little Hanno impatiently handed over the post of deputy commander of the garrison of Baissasien to Tahiti as a token of gratitude!

The young Hanno was never a man who could sit down and deal with government and military affairs; Rather than tedious government affairs and boring military affairs, little Hanno prefers paper-gold drunken banquets and beautiful and touching aristocratic ladies.

Since Hanno the Younger became governor of the province of Baissasien, he had hardly dealt with any decent government and military affairs; Whether it was the government affairs of Baisassien Province or the secret military affairs of the Hanno family, almost all of them were controlled by Tahiti alone.

It is no exaggeration to say that the secret army of the Hanno family did not know who little Hanno was at all, they only knew Tahiti alone; Even the officials of the province of Baisasian had more respect for Tahiti than for Hanno the Younger.

Therefore, Hanno the Younger, after assuming the post of commander of the garrison of Baisassien, immediately gave the post of deputy commander to Tahiti; The purpose is naturally to continue to be the shopkeeper himself, and let Tahiti take care of those annoying trivial matters.

At the same time that Hanno the Younger and Tahiti returned to Baisassion, the emissaries sent by the Carthaginian Senate to the Kingdom of Libya would soon set out; His mission was to hand over the province of Tripoli to the Kingdom of Libya and to persuade the Kingdom of Libya to ally itself with the Kingdom of Carthage.

Because the capital of the Kingdom of Libya was so far away from the Kingdom of Carthage, the envoys did not travel by land at all, but traveled by sea to the capital of the Kingdom of Libya by sea to present their credentials to the Kingdom of Libya.

Half a month after Hanno the Younger and Tahiti returned to Tapsus, the envoy to the Kingdom of Libya returned to Carthage with the Covenant; In the days that followed, 15,000 troops of the Kingdom of Libya entered the province of Tripoli.

Immediately, the Khimika Legion and the Gizken Legion of the Carthaginian Kingdom in Tripoli Province withdrew from Tripoli Province one after another, and retreated to the Province of Baisasion of the Carthaginian Kingdom, under the command of Hanno the Younger.

Hanno the Younger, having appeared once at the induction of these two legions, and having formally assumed command of the command, handed over all these military matters to Tahiti, and he himself was busy attending banquets and accepting the admiration of the noble ladies.

The three commanders of the two legions, Himika and Shimiko and Gizken, had long heard of Hanno the Younger, the incompetent governor, and Tahiti, the invisible governor; Naturally, they would not be surprised by what is happening in front of them.

After Hanno the Younger's departure, Tahiti, as deputy commander, held a grand welcome ceremony for the soldiers of the two legions, and in the evening held a bonfire party full of wine and meat; This move made the soldiers of the two legions have a good impression of Tahiti.

In addition to these two legions, the Abydos legion Tahiti, which was originally stationed in the province of Baisassien, will not be left out in the cold; When a bonfire was held here, Tahiti also sent a large amount of wine and meat to the Abydos army guarding the border area.

After a few days of adaptation, Tahiti established himself as commander and sent the armies of Himika and Gisken to the border region in the western part of Baissasien province; Abydos's legion was called back to garrison Tapsus.

At the same time, the province of Afrika in the Kingdom of Carthage completed its own military deployments; Vimina, who served as the commander of the garrison of the province of Africa, personally led his legion and the Sakab army to the western border area, and the cavalry legion of Abydos was also left by Vimina to continue to garrison the border, and the infantry legion of Amekas was sent back to Carthage by Vimina to garrison.
