Chapter 50 Election of District Chief Executives (4)
A veteran once asked him, and his answer was: "I study mathematics, and any formulas and theorems must be calculated by myself to determine whether they are correct. And I don't know much about everyone's political achievements. Don't make random recommendations, otherwise you will mislead everyone and affect state affairs..."
But now that he stood up, the elders inevitably wondered who he was recommending.
"Nico Marcus is the person I want to recommend! I won't say much about Nico Marcus' ability, the statue of him in Oldrum City says it all. What I want to say is that in During the Western Mediterranean War, he responded to His Majesty's call and resolutely went to the Latium area to fully assist Lord Asistes in rectifying the newly captured Rome, and later he worked hard to manage the city of Gabi, which was swept away by the war..." Mentotik Els specially emphasized the word "war looting", because after the city of Gabi was captured at that time, all the people were demoted to slaves, in order to deter other Latin city-states , Mentotik Els has some opinions on this approach.
Davos, who was sitting in the center of the venue, was still calm, and he didn't seem to hear his voice.
"...So I think Nico Marcus should become the regional administrator and contribute more to the kingdom."
Mentotik Els's words made Sedorum feel that something was wrong. The taste in these words was similar to what Brem said. He suddenly looked at Davos.
Not only him, but also Hermon and Lysias, of course they wouldn't see anything strange from Davos' calm face.
After this round of recommendations, some elders began to raise objections: "Sir Kesima really understands the situation in the mountains of Samona, but to be the chief executive of the eastern region of Campania, it is not just to keep this area. The stability of the region should be better developed, so as to better assimilate the surrounding Samonei people. In this regard, Lord Kesima does not seem to have performed very well in his previous resume... "
"Lord Hegestus does have a wealth of experience, but he has no experience of working in a northern town, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the Samonais..."
The recommender should answer these questions one by one to avoid bad influence on the object he recommends.
After some debate, the result of the roll call - Nick Marcus narrowly won.
Nico Marcus stood up in disbelief, bowed in all directions, and thanked him. His exaggerated antics and humorous language caused laughter in the hall and eased the gradually tense atmosphere.
"The next choice is the Strait of Messina."
The Strait of Messina area includes Liguim, Messina, Taurina, some small towns on the north coast of Sicily and the islands of Lipala,
Although this area has a narrow land and a small population, it has the Strait of Messina of great strategic and trade value, so there are many people who recommend it.
Among them, there is one person who is very noticeable - Cypros, as the rotating chairman, he actually got up and recommended it in person, which naturally caused a small commotion in the field, and the candidate he recommended was Amicris.
Perhaps other elders thought that Cypros was the prefect of Catane, and Amiclis was the prefect of Messina. The two had worked together for several years in eastern Sicily, and they must have a good relationship, so they took the initiative to recommend them.
But Davos knew through the intelligence department that Cypros did not have much contact with Amicris, and he made recommendations regardless of the benefits, probably out of public interest. This is where he admires Cypros more. In the two years that Cypros became the rotating chairman, his advice and suggestions to Davos were all based on the interests of the kingdom, with almost no selfishness, unlike Sedorum and Hermon who thought about their own race too much. Although Lycias is better, as the head of the rotating chairman, he has not done enough.
Antaoris is also good. He has a great view of the overall situation, but sometimes his personality is a little anxious. I wonder if he will have a recommended candidate today? ... Davos's gaze stopped on Antaoris for a while, and then turned to Amicris in the venue, this; the elder from Castellon seemed a little surprised and nervous, maybe he didn't. It was expected that Cypros would recommend him, but he also had expectations for this position, but the failure of the previous election for the chief executive of the eastern region of Campania made him a little worried.
So is Amicris suitable to serve as the chief executive of the Strait of Messina region? Davos thought about it for a while, and really felt that he was a suitable candidate: it seems that Amicris is a gentle and not strong enough person. Onia's strength, when he served as the chief executive of Messina, he took the initiative to lower the tough chief Lijim; when he served as the chief executive of Gela, in the face of the cold-hearted leader of Sikel, many I took the initiative to go to the mountains to negotiate with him...
But on the other hand, this is not a kind of wisdom to do things! Therefore, in the years when the Great Greek War was frequent, Castellon was not attacked by too many wars, and finally the people joined the kingdom happily. Look at the contradictions between Lijim and Messina today, but the years when Amiklis was in office was a period when the relationship between the two cities was relatively good. It is also precisely because of this practice of Amicris that many Sikelians actively moved to the sparsely populated Gera, making Gera the fastest post-war recovery among the towns on the south coast of Sicily...
Dazhiruoyu! ... Davos looked at the ordinary-looking old man in the crowd, and gradually he had some expectations in his heart: maybe he can really solve the decades-long feud between Lijim and Messina!
Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Marigi, the Minister of Commerce on the right side of the front row of the venue, and the two quickly moved away after eye contact.
After reporting two more candidates, Midorades, the commander of the Second Fleet, stood up and said loudly: "I also recommend Amicris, although I don't have much contact with him, but when the Third Fleet went south to Fighting on the north coast of Sicily, I have received his full support and help, and I feel that he is a good administrator, so I recommend him."
This is simple and rude, but no one finds it funny, because Midorades is now a hot hero in the kingdom, and has made outstanding contributions in the Western Mediterranean War. His support will undoubtedly greatly improve the possibility of Amicris being elected. .
Of course, there are also elders who are unwilling to mention: "Amiclis used to serve as the chief executive of Messina. If he is the chief executive of the Isthmus this time, the term of office in the same region is too long, which has violated the Act on the number of years of office of Dionia officials. ."
In this regard, Cypros was well prepared, and he explained calmly: "Master Amicris only served in Messina for 4 years, and then was transferred to the Chief Executive of Gera. If he wins, he will not exceed the number of The rule of not serving more than 8 years in the same area.”
Cypros easily refuted the doubts, and Miron felt the same way: if he hadn't discussed with Lycias in advance, got his reminder, and prepared, I'm afraid he would have encountered big trouble today, and his success would have fallen short.
The result of the final vote was that Armickles won by just five votes.
Apparently, Amicris did not expect such a result. He was a little ignorant when he was hit by luck. When salute the elders who applauded, he also specially greeted Cypros and Midorades. Thank you individually.
Many elders were sighing inwardly: it was too good fortune for the coward Amicris to be favored by Cypros and Midorades.
But they obviously didn't realize that the real mastermind was sitting in the center of the venue like a wooden clay sculpture.
"The next election is the Catania region!"
Antaoris's words made Miron sit up straight. He knew that with Lysias' cautious personality, he would not directly recommend him, so he was very curious about who Lycias would let him come forward.
But the first elder to stand up has nothing to do with Lysias. He is Alcibiades, the elder brother of Princess Agnes, and a relative of King Davos. Although he has such a special status, he has He has never held any positions in the kingdom's political arena, but his business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has become a well-known big businessman in the kingdom. It is precisely because of his special relationship with Davos that he rarely participates in the election of town administrators. Several times are related to Feidun.
So as soon as he stood up, the elders could guess who he was recommending.
Today's Alcibiades is not as arrogant as he used to be, and even his actions are a little sloppy. He is avoiding Davos' gaze. Since the Ministry of Military Affairs conveyed to him what Davos said, he immediately realized that he had touched Davos' bottom line, and he was very frightened. But Davers has so far not agreed with him. This time, he attended the meeting of the Senate, on the one hand, for his friends, and on the other hand, to find an opportunity to meet Davos.
But when he stood up from the venue and saw the expressionless Davos in front of him, he couldn't help feeling flustered: "I...I recommend Feidun...As the current Chief Executive of Catane, Lord Feidun not only He quickly restored prosperity to the war-torn Catane, and he also actively helped the tribes of Sikele near the western edge of the Catania plain, so that these Sicilian mountain people who had to join the kingdom after the war survived. After a difficult period, many tribes took the initiative to walk out of the mountains and accepted the jurisdiction of Feidun..."
It seems that that sentence still had a considerable effect... Of course Davos could hear the panic in his heart from the slightly trembling voice of Alcibiades.
