- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

After the occupation of the provinces of Afrika and Baisasian of the Kingdom of Carthage by the Augustan Empire, the entire Kingdom of Carthage was naturally destroyed; After the provinces of Numidia and Mauritania were occupied by the Augustan Empire, the Kingdom of Numidia became a historical term again.

With the death of King Adheba of the Kingdom of Numidia and the surrender of the senators of the Kingdom of Carthage, the two countries did not even have the strength to resist in the last resort; After careful consultation, Quintus and Spartak and Raqqa immediately decided to return the captives of Vermina and Ahmet to Sicily, while the captive soldiers of the kingdoms of Carthage and Numidia remained where they were.

In addition, all the noble families and families with assets of more than 5,000 gold coins in the seven provinces occupied by the Augustan Empire in the entire North African continent need to move to Sicily within three months; Soldiers loyal to the Augustan Empire would soon be granted lands on the North African continent, and their families would become the pillars of the Augustan Empire's rule over the continent.

In addition to these matters that need to be dealt with, there are more important matters on the North African continent that Oscar needs to make arrangements as soon as possible, that is, the issue of the reorganization of the army on the North African continent; The Cavalry Legion and the Desert Legion, which were originally part of the Combined Legion, need to receive the official name of the Augustan Empire, and the private army of the Hanno family, which is controlled by the Augustan Empire, also needs to receive the official name of the Augustan Empire.

The generals of the Kingdom of Carthage and the Kingdom of Numidia who were willing to surrender to the Augustan Empire also needed to make new arrangements, and these were matters that required Oscar to make decisions personally; Quintus and the others can certainly have a lot of freedom in marching and fighting, but such a militaristic event has to be arranged by Oscar.

On the very day that Vimina and Ahmet resisted Syracuse, Oscar's new orders were sent from Syracuse to Carthage; According to Oscar's careful consideration and careful arrangement, all the armies that originally belonged to the kingdoms of Numidia and Carthage were to be reorganized into nine Augustan imperial legions, and the legion commander and legion lieutenant generals would also continue to serve as the previous generals of these armies.

Among them, the cavalry corps of the original combined corps will be reorganized into the third cavalry corps and the fourth cavalry corps of the Augustan Empire, the commander of the third cavalry corps will be General Bashirek of the former Numidian Kingdom, and the deputy general of the corps will be General Naiden of the Augustan Empire.

The commander of the 4th Cavalry Legion is General Lilias of the Augustan Empire, and the deputy general of the Legion is also Reichel of the Augustan Empire.

The Desert Legion of the original Combined Legion will be reorganized into the Thirteenth Legion of the Augustan Empire, the commander of the Thirteenth Legion will be General Sinrida of the former Kingdom of Numidia, and the deputy general of the Legion will be General Heman of the Augustan Empire.

The 3rd and 4th Cavalry Corps will be the full cavalry corps with 7,000 cavalry, and the 13th Cavalry Corps will be the main legion with 7,000 hoplites; As for the auxiliary legions of the 13th Legion, it will be formed by the General Staff of the Augustan Empire in Sicily, and will be directly assigned to the 13th Legion at that time.

In this way, the three legions newly reorganized by the Augustan Empire based on the army of the original Numidian Kingdom would require a total of 21,000 soldiers; And the desert legion and the cavalry legion, plus the captives of the kingdoms of Numidia and Carthage, the total number of their armies has exceeded 35,000, and it is impossible for the three legions to reorganize these armies.

If all the remaining 14,000 or more soldiers were disbanded on the spot, Oscar would be really reluctant; In any case, those warriors are veterans who have been carefully trained for five years and have already fought several times, and the army they have formed is countless times stronger than the actual new recruits!

Therefore, Oscar ordered Quintus to form the 14th Army of the Augustan Empire based on the prisoners of the former Numidian Kingdom, the commander of the 14th Army will be General Hartman of the Augustan Empire, and the deputy general of the legion will be General Conon of the Augustan Empire.

The fifteenth legion of the Augustan Empire was formed based on the prisoners of the former Carthaginian Kingdom, and the commander of the fifteenth legion will be General Assinius of the Augustan Empire, and the deputy general of the legion will be General Armini of the Augustan Empire; There will be a clear difference in the number of these two captive-dominated legions, and Oscar would have asked Quintus to balance the transfers.

After arranging the reorganization of these armies, it was naturally the turn of the Hanno family's army to be reorganized; Compared with the reorganization of the previous five legions, the reorganization of the army of the Hanno family is more concise and convenient, who let the Augustan Empire already control the army of the Hanno family, this reorganization is just to give these armies an official name.

The Hipika Legion of the former Hanno family will be reorganized into the Sixteenth Legion of the Augustan Empire, the commander of the Sixteenth Legion will be General Himika of the former Carthaginian Kingdom, and the deputy general of the legion will be General Agesilau of the Augustan Empire.

The Abydos Legion of the former Hanno family will be reorganized into the Seventeenth Legion of the Augustan Empire, and the Seventeenth Legion will be led by General Abydos of the former Carthaginian Kingdom, and the deputy general of the legion will be General Galibiel of the Augustan Empire.

The former Gisken Legion of the Hanno family will be reorganized into the Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the Augustan Empire, the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Corps will be General Gisken of the former Carthage Kingdom, and the deputy general of the legion will be General Palermo of the Augustan Empire.

As for the private army units belonging to the Hanno family, they were reorganized into the Eighteenth Army of the Augustan Empire, and the commander of the Eighteenth Army would be General Aurelius of the Augustan Empire, and the deputy general of the Legion would be General Himicius of the former Carthaginian Kingdom.

In fact, the current private army of the Hanno family still has a full fifteen thousand people, and it is completely possible to form two elite legions of the Augustan Empire with this fifteen thousand private army; However, the total number of the three legions of Himika and the others was only 18,000, and there were still 3,000 people close to the full strength in terms of numbers, and these 3,000 people would be directly replenished from the private army of the Hanno family.

In addition, there were some discontents among the five regiments reorganized in North Africa, for among the thirty-five thousand soldiers were wounded, and the vacancies of these discontents were also supplemented by the private army of the Hanno family; In this way, it will be possible to ensure that all nine legions reorganized this time are in a state of full strength, and their combat effectiveness can be guaranteed.

However, the reorganization of these nine legions was only the first step in the control of these armies by the Augustan Empire; Oscar gave Quintus and Spartak a month to reorganize the nine legions, after which they were to leave for Sicily.

The General Staff of the Augustan Empire was to equip all the officers and men of these nine legions with the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Augustan Empire, and the auxiliary legions and equipment brigades of the six hoplite legions also needed to be assigned to them; More importantly, the Augustan Empire needed to spend several months in Sicily training the nine legions to ensure their loyalty.

After five years of accumulation, the Augustan Empire now has not much of anything, that is, there are many graduates of the Augustan Military Academy who can be used to serve as centurions and captains; When the armies of these nine legions arrived in Sicily, the officers who had originally belonged to the kingdoms of Numidia and Carthage naturally had to study at the Augustan Military Academy, and the vacant positions were filled by these graduates.

This time, Oscar was also prepared to quickly stabilize the occupied provinces on the North African continent, and just after Ahmet and Vimini were sent to Syracuse, Naams's fleet once again transported 2,000 experienced middle- and low-level officials of the Augustan Empire to the North African continent.

The two thousand officials were selected by Vipsani's government council from the entire Augustan Empire in the previous months, and their task was to quickly take over the seven provinces of the Augustan Empire on the North African continent and make the government system of these seven provinces run smoothly and efficiently; As for their general head, it was Dulles, whom Oscar had specially transferred from the Iberian Peninsula.

As Dulles has been getting better and better in recent years, Oscar already has the idea of letting the young Dulles succeed Vepsani as the next supreme governor of the Augustan Empire; And Vipsani, who made outstanding contributions to the development of the Augustan Empire, Oscar felt that it was time to establish the position of prime minister for the Augustan Empire.

In addition to the original North African army reorganization plan and the dispatch of a large number of political officials, Oscar also made detailed arrangements for the garrison of the Augustan Empire in North Africa; The barren and sparsely populated provinces of Gaturia and the Sahara, as well as the westernmost province of Mauritania, will not be garrisoned, but will be garrisoned by the provincial and district guards that will soon be formed in these three provinces.

The capital area of the former Numidian Kingdom will be garrisoned by Tekomin's Ninth Legion, and the capital area of the former Carthaginian Kingdom and the province of Baissasien will be garrisoned by Cassillo's Seventh Legion; The remaining five legions, including the 1st, 2nd, 6th, Hannibal, and Chengguan legions, were to be stationed in Tripoli Province.

Now seven of the nine regions in the entire North African continent have become provinces of the Augustan Empire, only the Libyan region and the Cyrenaica region at the eastern end of the North African continent are still controlled by Morpheus's Cyrenaica Republic, Oscar does not think this is a good situation, the Augustan Empire must unify the entire North African continent as soon as possible!
