Chapter 1106: Election of regional chief executives (7)

Views:

But there was no clue on Davers' calm face.

Just when some of the elders were considering whether to support Torrex, another person stood up: "The person I recommend is - Antrapolis!"

There was a lot of commotion in the venue, and both the recommenders and the recommenders surprised them.

Antonios, the former wartime governor of Downey, who just took office as the chief executive of the western region of Sicily, although he was once reprimanded because of the Laodician incident, his re-emergence is also very fast, and his influence in the kingdom's political arena is still huge. .

Antrapolis, a veteran who turned from the intelligence service to the political arena, it is precisely because of this special identity that many veterans keep away from him.

"Lord Antrapolis, in response to His Majesty's call, resolutely headed to the Latinum area..." Antonios spoke in a familiar tone, which made Lysias subconsciously look at Davos again.

"... After assisting Asistes to stabilize the order of Rome, Lord Antrapolis resolutely invited His Majesty to serve as the administrator of the city of Satnicum. What a brave act! You should all know that There was a plague in the city of Satnicum during the war. It has not been half a year since the incident. Antrapolis bravely provoked the burden of rebuilding the city of Satnicum, not afraid of the possibility of infection with the plague. The danger of this, which in the last 20 years of the kingdom has any elder ever done such a crazy but admirable thing! Only Antrapolis!

And 5 years later, under his governance, Satnicum has not only been rebuilt, but also more prosperous than before! So I think Lord Antrapolis is the most qualified to be the Chief Executive of Downey! "

After Antonios finished his speech with excitement, there was a moment of silence in the meeting place where there had been constant discussions, and then Hades Scepter Priest Plessinas took the lead in applauding, and gradually the whole audience burst into applause.

Antrapolis had to stand up humbly and saluted all around him.

Antonios looked at the elders who were applauding and sneered in his heart: Maybe some of you will think that the reason why I recommend Antrapolis is that when I conquered Syracuse, I got Antra Polis's help is now paying back his love... You are wrong, I'm just carrying out His Majesty's order. A bunch of idiots really took what His Majesty said, "You decide this election, and I won't interfere...". In fact, he has been in control of the entire election since the morning until now, but he did not use the well-known Mali Gee and Plessinas just...

Thinking about it, Antonios involuntarily looked at Davos, but after coming into contact with Davos' deep gaze, he quickly moved away. To be honest, if he admired Davos' commanding ability and long-term vision before, he has been completely overwhelmed by the terrible political control of His Majesty the King in recent years.

But in Antrapolis' mind, he recalled what his brother Aristillas had whispered to him a few days ago: "You don't have to worry about no one supporting you during the election, Your Majesty will not forget those He who has made great contributions to the kingdom in the most difficult times will never let these important positions be occupied by those who do not do their best at critical times and pick apples after the fact..."

Brother is right, I have a very good chance of becoming the Chief Executive of Downey District! … Antrapolis was ecstatic, he had decided to accept Antonios' love and completely erase the "he slapped him" in the past.

Facts have proved that with Davers' secret support, the election will go very smoothly.

Antrapolis was elected by a high vote. When he had to stand up again and thank the elders, he was very emotional: From today onwards, he is no longer the newcomer who has just entered politics and was despised by others, but an important official in the kingdom! In order to achieve the goal he promised at the beginning, he made unremitting efforts, and even took risks several times, and finally got what he wanted!

"The next thing to be elected is the Pucherti area!"

"Lord Ancitanos!" The name shouted by the etiquette officer surprised everyone, and they were all curious: this well-known scholar of the kingdom, a highly respected foreign minister, usually focuses on foreign affairs and academic research, and seldom cooperates with other The elder has close contacts, who would he recommend

"I recommend Apilosia." Ancitanos stood up, said something slowly, and then kept his mouth shut.

The reason why Apirocia was able to become the leader of the Messapi elders was not only because he was the first to surrender Dionia, and thus was more used, but also because he was indeed capable, he acted resolutely, was good at judging the situation, and acted as a Several times he has been the chief executive of the town, the Senate has rated his performance as good or above, but more importantly, he also has a good son-in-law, the court clerk Henipolis.

Henipolis joined Dionia with a dowry (Laos). It stands to reason that his future in the kingdom's political arena should be very good. As a result, he chose the inconspicuous position of court clerk. For a few years, he usually did not like to associate with other elders, except for his own former subordinate, Ariandos. But none of the elders dared to look down on him, because he was the confidant of King Davos, who was said to be someone who could joke face-to-face with His Majesty the King, who was sitting majestically in the center of the venue.

Although Henipolis did not give much help to his father-in-law, this kinship alone gave Apirosia some prestige in the Senate. Except for the stubborn Plegurus, the other Mesa Elder Pi is willing to take him as the head. And the person who can ask Ancitanos to recommend Apirocia is naturally his student Henepolis.

When Henepolis, who was sitting in the venue, felt Davos's eyes cast on him, he shrugged helplessly and said to himself: If it wasn't for this damn old man who moved his wife, whispering in my ear every day , I'm so annoying, I don't want to do this! You must know that in order to invite Mr. Ancitanos, I promised him that I would collect a lot of precious historical materials for him.

There are several elders who are competing for the chief executive of the Puchetti region, and they are not weak. However, the recommender of Apirocia is too special.

Ancitanos really does not form gangs, but he is a good person and has a high reputation. He joins the mercenary elders, Vespas, Hermon, Lysias, Sedorum and other elders who joined the kingdom very early. The relationship is good, and everyone is naturally willing to give him a face when there is no conflict of interest.

In addition, Ancitanos can also influence a group of special elders—the people of the kingdom are nicknamed "scholar-type elders", such as Mentotic Els, Mattikris, Helps, Stacey Cordas, Jr. Heraclid and so on, they are actually not too interested in the election of the regional chief executive. If it weren't for the fact that the meeting was too important and they were required to attend, some of them would probably not come. Sitting in the venue, most of them have no inclination, and they vote based on the introduction of the recommender, the debate on the venue, and personal likes and dislikes. Now one of them, the Ancitanos scholar, is also recommending them. Of course it will vote for whoever he recommends, so in the end, Apirocia is elected.

In this regard, Torrex is somewhat envious. They are also representatives of the same race. They also have a son-in-law who is closely related to the king. Henipolis obviously can give his father-in-law more than Adoris. help. And Adoris is a stubborn temper, he changed such a great surname. It was not that Torrex did not ask his daughter to ask Adoris for help, but Adoris refused to ask His Majesty the king, and even reprimanded his wife.

"The next area to pick is Messapi!"

Hearing this, Miron immediately became nervous, and then he heard the ceremonial officer shout: "Lord Lysias!"

Miron was surprised: because when Lycias, who had been careful in advance, had consulted with him, he had decided that other elders would be nominated in the two elections at the meeting, but now he has changed his mind and is ready to play in person!

The reason why Lysias changed his mind was because he found that the competition for this election was more intense than he expected, not to mention that Cypros and Antaoris had all appeared in person one after another. If he did not use his prestige to appear in person. Recommended, it is very likely that the ship will capsize in the gutter, causing Miron to lose the election.

In fact, his hunch was correct. Miron could see the future potential of the Mesapi region. , Elder Latignes of Elijah... Become candidates, these elders are all kingdoms that joined at the same time as Miron, and their qualifications are relatively old, so the competition is very fierce, and Miron can be elected in the end, I have to say The personal election of the rotating chairman, Lucias, played a big role.

Next, in the election of the chief executive of the Crotone region, Burkes recommended Michippus again and finally succeeded. Of course, there were also credits to the Lucanian faction and the Amendolara faction.

In fact, Davos is disgusted with this practice of forming gangs and excluding other elders, but Weisba, Stromboli and the others have followed Davos for many years, and they know the king well and dare not do it at all. It was too exaggerated, each of them only recommended one person, and then died, and all the young and promising veterans were selected, and Davos opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

When selecting the governor of the southern region of Greater Greece, one of the names selected by the elders also attracted everyone's attention. He is also a relative of King Davos and the father-in-law of Princess Cynthia, Pariandoros. He also served as the town administrator. After only 5 years, his work is indeed diligent and practical, but it is far from being as amazing as Feidun. He also understands it in his heart, so after someone said his name, he hurriedly stood up, first thanked the person for his recommendation, and then said: I do not No intention to run for election.
