New Policies And Agreements

Alexander would later look back on this day, the day he almost dismissed 3,000 of his soldiers with morbid shame.

It seemed like this was one of those days where his head was not in the game.

And seemed to be not thinking clearly, so upon hearing Menes's report, he had jumped the gun using own assumptions.

Alexander thought he had the money, and with his spending habits, which some would describe as generous and others as loose and spendthrift, had all of a sudden decided to arbitrarily spend it to get rid of this slight headache.

Worse still, most of the council members did not seem to mind either.

Meaning if not for Menicus's stern intervention, Alexander's order might have gone out and even before he could have realized it, he would have unwittingly crippled himself.

Because by the time he would have tried to rescind, it might have been already too late.

If the land had been given or money gifted, Alexander would have been embarrassed to ask for them back.
