The Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations III

**Lucjan** · 09-20-2006, 15:31

UPS - I never said anything of any strategy you may have.

But when you accuse the consul of not knowing what he is doing, and of allowing other men to drive the course of history while he sits by and goes with the flow, then you should be quite ready for a lecture. Such things are a direct insult to the consul, who I have tried to explain to you is most certainly the man moving our current events more than any of our rival faction's leaders. Just because there are no blatant invasions or brash charges does not mean that it is not so. So far, they have all played right into his hands, and even the rather commendable attempts of the Seleucids to counter the consul's tactics have been defeated.

I never said that you didn't know what you are doing. I said some men might think that. I never called for "blatant invasions" or "brash charges".

And despite all your posturing and lecturing and philosophising like some kind of Greek, you still haven't clearly explained your strategy in the east, aside from some vague and wooly cliches.

He's got you there, Servius

UPS Maximus,

I believe you should find out if you can release the full details of what is planned initially in the East. Seems the Senate is getting "Twitchy".

**Lucjan** · 09-21-2006, 12:57

UPS - Quite apparently so... I will dispatch a letter to consul Servius requesting his permission to divulge the full details of the plans for this consulship.

**Braden** · 09-21-2006, 13:03

UPS Maximus - I believe that you should request that only the details of what is to happen in the Eastern regions in the next year or so be released. I don't believe that "plans for the Consulship" would be applicable or even relevant.

What was "planned" for the Consulship is stated in the Consuls pre-election manifesto. I'm sure the Senate will just be happy to hear of what the Consul has planned for the Two legions in the East already and what is planned for the Consular army I am currently leading.

I could have sworn that there were motions prohibiting the expansion into Asia Minor, but I guess I was wrong.

Nevertheless, hearing of the Consul's plans worries me greatly. I thought the general consensus was to stay on the defensive in the East?
