"But...but...the war will kill...Amendolara is dead...too many people!" Cornerus stammered.
"Following the leader of Davos, we will only win the battle. Don't you want to take revenge?! Go to attack the Lucanians?!" Amyntas looked at Cornerus with contempt.
Before Cornelus could answer, Protesilaus and Terry Todemus behind him shouted: "Of course revenge! We must let these wicked savages taste the power of Amendolara! …”
Amendolara has been weak for too long, and people's hearts are changing! Davos was very happy to see this change, and he immediately said: "Although we want to conquer the indigenous people as our goal, we don't want to go to war blindly. Do you agree to submit this proposal to the Citizens Assembly for voting first, 'Any foreigner who is interested in joining Amendolara and becoming a citizen of Amendolara, as long as he is willing to abide by the laws of Amendolara and meets certain conditions, Amendolara The Senate of Lara will accept him as a citizen of Amendolara'. As for what conditions to meet and meet, we will discuss and decide.”
"Agree!!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Cornelus sighed and closed his eyes slightly. He understands that from now on, Amendolara will no longer be the traditional conservative Amendolara that will not change for decades, because according to the current composition of citizens of Amendolara (the new citizens account for Judging from the overwhelming majority) and the atmosphere at this time, this bill will definitely be passed by the Citizens Assembly.
(A few days later, this proposal of Davos was approved by a high vote at the Citizens Assembly, and this bill was the "Davers Immigration Law" written by later historians of the world in European history. Its promulgation Since then, it has changed the traditions of the great Greek city-states, the political ecology of the entire Greek world, and ultimately the history of the Mediterranean.
"In this case, I recommend Marigi for selection as Commercial Officer, making him the first beneficiary of our new bill and setting a good example for those who come after!"
"agree!"
"We have no opinion!" The new citizens, especially the squad leaders, agreed. This is why Davos insisted on letting them participate. With their support, even if some old citizens were dissatisfied, they could only keep silent.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the venue is very different from before. With new goals, the enthusiasm of these new citizens is obviously high. Davos decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Do we have a job as a construction manager in Amendolara?"
"Construction officer?" Cornelus said he had never heard of it: "You mean the person responsible for the construction of public buildings, Amendolara has no fixed position for this, if the Senate decides to build public facilities, it will Temporary appointment of the person in charge."
"The job of a construction officer is not just to build some kind of public facilities, he is responsible for supervising and constructing various buildings in the city, and doing regular maintenance, at the same time supervising the cleanliness, sanitation and safety of the roads, and paying attention to the recreational facilities in the city, The scope of his responsibilities involves both the daily life of citizens and the image of the city-state, ranging from building wells and roads to temples and arenas, all of which are within the scope of his responsibilities and can be said to be a very important position!" Davos said solemnly.
"Which city-state has this position?" Cornelus was a little surprised.
Davos smiled and did not answer, because the city-state with this official position was Rome, the world-leading architectural technology in the history of the previous life. Of course, it is unknown whether Rome already had this official position at this time.
"Since we aim to attack the natives as the development goal of Amendolara, then the public office of building officials is very important, because we need to build strong, wide, smooth roads and bridges to facilitate our march, transportation, connection and rule. The land that will be occupied in the future. It is also necessary to build magnificent buildings to show the indigenous people our superior culture and accelerate their surrender to us." Davos emphasized another sentence and asked, "Who is willing to recommend himself?"
"I'm afraid this requires someone with construction experience to do it." Someone said, and everyone who was eager to try was hesitant after Davos said it.
Alexis stood up decisively.
Davos smiled and asked, "Alexis, have you been a mason before?"
"Lord Consul, I'm the only one who recommended myself, so am I considered to have taken up this position?" Alexis didn't answer, but asked instead.
"I have no objection. What about everyone?" Davers looked at the others.
"There's no one else but him, just him!"
"But can he do it?"
Everyone said.
"Tell me, how can you be a good construction officer?" Davos asked.
"I don't know how to build, but I can learn, and I can also let experts who are proficient in construction serve as subordinates. There is no such person in Amendorara, and I can go to the freemen of the nearby city-state to find them, according to Diver. Sir Si, the bill you just proposed, applying to grant them citizenship..." Alexis said confidently.
Others suddenly realized: It turns out that if you are a city-state official, you can still do this.
Many people began to think: Do they also choose a position for Dangdang
"It seems that you are already thinking about how to do a good job as a construction officer!" Davos said with admiration: "I hope you and your subordinates will study construction technology well, so that Amendolara's construction technology can be ahead of other Greeks. City-state!"
"I'll do my best!" Alexis said cautiously.
"Amendolara's treasury is not rich, if you want to make a big construction, I'm afraid..." Cornerus reminded.
"Of course we won't start construction now, just build the mechanism first, and then act when we are rich later." Davers comforted Cornerus a few words, and then continued: "Next, I suggest Set up military officers to be responsible for the defense of the city, the military training of citizens, the research and maintenance of weapons and equipment, pre-war preparations and post-war statistics..."
"Agreed!" For the belligerent new citizens, this position was the most important, so they all seemed a little excited.
But when Davers asked, "Who do you think is the best fit for this role?"
The new citizens were dumbfounded. To say that the most prestigious in the army is worthy of Davos, but he is already a life-long consul, and he is the supreme commander of the city-state army. In addition to him, Hieronymus seems to be able to consider it. After all, he has been the leader of the mercenary army, but he is a newcomer in Davos' team. As for the others, Kapus, Amyntas, Epithenis... These company captains have repeatedly made military exploits, and each has their own characteristics, but it seems that it is not obvious who is particularly outstanding.
In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Felixius. The former mercenary's adjutant was usually very low-key and easily overlooked. In fact, he has been a mercenary for nearly 20 years. He has rich military experience and is familiar with military affairs. Davos has been a careful assistant since he was the leader. Davos's victory is inseparable from his silent assistance, such as camping, training, pre-war preparations, post-war statistics, etc. What he does is not what the military officer does now. work? ! It turned out that the position proposed by the leader of Davos was designed for him! Knowing this, everyone calmed down.
So Felixius was elected successfully.
"Before, our mercenaries had a military law, but it was relatively simple. I hope that after you take office, you will convene everyone in a few days, and I will also participate in discussing and formulating a more perfect military law, so as to facilitate our training. Citizen, guide the battle." Davos said seriously.
"Got it." Felixus nodded.
When Matonis and others in the back row heard that they had to formulate stricter military laws, they immediately lamented.
After Davos heard it, he said sternly: "We were mercenaries before. In order to survive, we obeyed the command of our employers, attacked others indiscriminately, and could kill and loot at will. But from now on, you are from Amendolara. Citizens, the interests of Amendolara are your interests, and the image of you going out to fight also represents the image of Amendolara. Useless killing and looting will only provoke more enemies for Amendolara and cause Great Greece People hate Amendolara. What's more, now that we have new grand goals, without strict training and complete military law, how can we build a disciplined and combat-effective Amendolara citizen army! How? With the help of the little Amendolara, he can defeat the large number of natives and dominate the great Greece!"
