Chapter 1102: Selection of Regional Chief Executive ([-])
Amyntas's reason is simple and crude - more seniority.

The reason why Davos was surprised was that if this was a joint decision of the military senators, then someone would definitely tell him in advance. If not, then this may be Amyntas's private decision: Isn't it true that the senators have not been treated in the past? Amintas, who was interested in the Senate meeting, was very quiet and thoughtful after launching his active duty in the army, and wanted to develop in the Senate? !
Of course, Agarcia and Amyntas were good friends during the expedition to Persia, and they have been in close contact over the years. It is understandable that Amyntas wants to help his friend.However, there are many mercenaries who have turned to the political arena, such as Hilos, Capos, Sesta, Adriankos... Agarcia is a relatively inconspicuous one among them. He has held many positions over the years. The chief executive of the sub-town has always been quite satisfactory and has no very impressive political achievements. Therefore, Davos does not think that he can manage this area that has been most ravaged by war and lead the people of the south coast of Sicily and West Kel. People should get out of the post-war predicament as soon as possible...

Of course, everything cannot be absolute, and after all, Agarcia is an old subordinate of Davos and has always completed the tasks assigned to him diligently, so he did not intend to stop him: However, Amyntas thought he was cheering him up. , the senators from the military faction and other senators who are good friends with him will all support him, which would be a big mistake.

The Kingdom of Dionia has been established for almost 20 years. There are nearly a hundred senators who have successively become veterans from the army. Each has its own interests and demands. It is no longer the time for the original mercenary senators to respond to everything. Even those with the smallest number of senators The navy cannot be completely united, and sometimes it is divided into two factions, Cykerian and Midorades, not to mention the huge army.Rising stars with outstanding military exploits like Proseus and Printoles would not mix with the mercenary elders at all; and new elders like Patroclus and Sextus would not treat the elders Do as you say; generals like Lizaru and Urazar who come from other regions also have their own racial demands; even the mercenary veterans themselves are not monolithic, with differences between the military headquarters and the generals of each legion, differences in personality and work style (such as Alexis and Amyntas)... This is exactly what Davos hopes, because only he can unite the military senators. If they themselves can be twisted into a rope, then they should wear Firth was worried.

Then Saru was the second to stand up, and he still recommended Hegesitus.

Davos still recognizes Hegesitus' ability, but if Saru recommends him at this time, is he confident that he can defeat the military veterans?Or maybe Sedorum, who was behind him, saw that Amyntas was pretending to be a bully, and believed that the southern coast of Sicily was small in land and sparsely populated, and involved complex issues such as post-war reconstruction and the integration of the Sikel people in the mountains. , so it is not attractive to some veterans, and the competition will not be too fierce?
Davos glanced at Seidorum in the front row of the venue: This old guy is quite shrewd and knows how to find soft persimmons, but can he really get what he wants?

Davos leaned back on his seat and watched the development of things with interest.

Sure enough, there were only a few recommendations, but just as the etiquette officer was about to announce the start of voting, a voice came from behind him: "Wait a minute, I also have someone to recommend!"

There was an uproar in the venue.

Antaoulis stood up and said confidently: "The law does not stipulate that the rotating chairman responsible for presiding over the meeting has no right to make selections."

Oh, now it’s interesting! ... Davos stroked his chin with his hand, guessing in his mind the candidate he wanted to recommend, and prepared to watch the show.

Antaoris cleared his throat, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "The person I want to recommend is Kereru!"

Keleru, who was sitting in the venue, was stunned when he heard this, because he had not communicated with Antaoris beforehand, and he did not expect that the rotating chairman would recommend him.Originally, he really coveted the position of chief executive of the south coast of Sicily, and even prepared to nominate himself. However, after seeing that both Amyntas and Salu recommended candidates, he thought that he had little chance of winning, so he chose to give up. Unexpectedly, something happened. Another turn of events.

"The first time Mr. Crelu served as the town administrator was in Cnapetia, and he has been in the mountains of Sicily since then. In the four years of Hena and Enna, he has always had outstanding political achievements and won the favor of the people of Sikel. Trust. We all know that most of the territories on the south coast of Sicily are in mountainous areas, and the majority of the population is the West Kells. If the problem of the West Kells is solved, the problems in southern Sicily will be solved, and Crelu is The best candidate."

Davos nodded secretly, thinking that Antaoris was right. To be honest, he really forgot about Crelu as a candidate.

Cedorum was a little restless: first it was Brelu, and now it was Crelu. One Bithynian after another embarrassed himself and made other senators laugh at him, even though Bithynia had already belonged to Turi. Yes, but they are still Brutians.Especially Kereru, who used to be close to Baglipi and didn't interact with him very much, but now, he is the leader of the Bruti people and the rotating chairman of the Senate. If he wants to participate in the election, why not talk to him? Just say it, let this guy intervene!

Sedorum looked at Antaoris standing behind the rostrum, and felt depressed: Antaolis is a man who does things based on his preference. He can kill someone in front of many elders in the venue. He was ashamed to refute it, and he could have felt that this person was suitable and fully recommended him when selecting the town chief executive. Although he did not have any factions, he had been recognized by many elders over the years as the rotating chairman. With him as a recommendation, He Gesitus was not guaranteed to win.

Just when Sedorum was depressed, the debate in the venue had already begun: "Crelu first stayed in Hena for 4 years, then in Enna for 8 years, and has been in the same area for [-] years. He has expired and should not compete for the office of governor of the southern region of Sicily."

"You have to understand that in the last regional administrative plan made by His Majesty, Gena was included in the Catania region, so the problem you mentioned does not exist at all!"

"There are mountainous areas in southern Sicily, and there are many seaside towns, and Mr. Crelu's past experience is in the mountainous areas. He is obviously inexperienced in how to manage seaside towns..."

"As the elder of the kingdom, you don't even understand the geography of the country. I'm really ashamed of you! Isn't Knapetia a seaside town? It was during the reign of Kereru that the port of Knapetia It has been expanded and maritime trade has also been developed... From these we can see that he is experienced in managing seaside towns..."

……

Antaoris refuted the elders who raised their opinions speechlessly, and also helped Crelu to be elected in the end.

Of course, it is also related to Brelu's good performance in the Western Mediterranean War. Not only did he cooperate with generals such as Alexis, Lizaru, Epithenis, etc., but he also actively cooperated with Sipulos and Sipulos after the war. Myron and Adriancus rectified and governed the Sikel people. These elders not only voted for him, but also led others to support him.

When the results of the vote were announced, Kereru was surprised and happy, and his whole expression looked a little funny. However, such a result was actually mainly due to his own efforts.

Amyntas was a little annoyed, but Agarcia felt a little indifferent. He was once a penniless mercenary, and now he is a distinguished patriarch of the kingdom. He governs towns with thousands or tens of thousands of people, and has more power than the chief general of a city-state. Big, he is already very satisfied.Of course, this is also related to his age, reduced energy, and increasing desire for enjoyment.

Hegesitus was frustrated at being defeated again, but the election continued: "The next region to be elected is the Dauni region!"

Finally it’s Magna Graecia’s turn!The senators sat up straight again.Plaguelos, commander of the Fourth Cavalry Corps, was the first to stand up: "I recommend Torex..."

Plaguelus, a Messapian, did not recommend Apirosia, the leader of his own race, but recommended the leader of Pucetti, which is not surprising, since everyone knew that he was associated with Apirosia. The reason for the discord is simple: when the Dionysian army launched a massive attack on the Mesapi territory, Apirosia, the leader of the Udiai tribe, was the first to lead his tribe to surrender early, which resulted in many Mesapi The Pi tribe learned from him, and the conquest of the entire Messape became much easier. At that time, Pregulus, who was still stubbornly resisting, hated Appilusia. Even after more than ten years, the two sides were already kingdoms. Colleagues, this resentment has not completely disappeared, so Pregulus is unwilling to associate with the Messapian senators headed by Apirosia. He is more willing to fight with the Puchetti people who once fought together and were of the same race. come and go.

Of course, most of the senators did not care about the grudge between Plaguelus and Apirosia. They cared about the recommended Torex, who had served as the town administrator for several terms. His performance was quite satisfactory and did not make people feel uncomfortable. Amazing political achievements, but he has a good son-in-law, Marcellis Adoris, whose former name was Davos Adoris, the adopted son of King Davos. It is said that His Majesty the King cares very much about this adopted son. He was about to be promoted to captain of the legion at a young age. In the past, the elders took into account Tonix's special status and tried their best to provide him with convenience without conflict of interest. At this time, they all subconsciously set their sights on Tonix. King Davos in the center of the venue.
