Chapter 1102
There were many Nuragis in the mountainous area of its interior, so it was obviously more attractive than the Corsican region. Four more senators were recommended, but the final result of the election was Flocrates who won more than 60% of the votes and was elected by an absolute margin.
Looking at the current situation, Hakkar understood that the three electors at the beginning of the meeting must have reached some kind of tacit agreement. The fact that these two young senators could be elected with such a high number of votes meant that they had the support of the other two electors who represented the other two electors.
Hakkar's guess was right. When Diónia was first established, the Turií faction led by Cunogorata and the Amendolara faction led by Cornelus had cooperated with each other to suppress the power of the Devers. Later, when the Devers became king and Cunogorata passed away, the Senate finally tamed the Devers. However, people from other regions continued to enter the Senate, attacking the dominant position of the Amendolara faction and the Turií faction. In order to ensure their right to speak in the Senate, they roped in the Lucanian faction, which had always been on good terms with them and had been rising in status. As long as there was no conflict of interest, the senators of the three factions could basically maintain the same … So when Strompoli saw that the situation was not good and could not guarantee that Flocrates would win, he immediately took the initiative to give up and gave Vesba and Hemont a look. The two Lucanian senators who had worked together for many years immediately understood what he meant. Burcos, who had always been busy with government affairs and was not very flexible in politics, only reacted after Ancitanos quietly reminded him and chose to give up. Thus, the three factions silently reached an agreement.
Many senators who understood the situation applauded and congratulated Flocrates, but at the same time, their hearts were pounding. They did not know if Mikheps of Turií would jump out again during the election of the chief executive of the region.
"Next is the election of the chief executive of the southern region of Sardinia." The rotating chairman, Antares, continued to push forward the proceedings of the meeting.
In the southern part of Sardinia, there were seven or eight original Phoenician towns headed by Karalis. More than half of them were coastal towns with a large population and prosperous sea trade. Moreover, they had fertile plains along the river. The strength of such a region was not weaker than some regions of Greece, so it naturally attracted many elders to elect them.
After carefully looking at the person who raised his hand, the ceremonial officer shouted, "Lord Brereu!"
Brel quickly stood up and said in a loud and clear voice, "I recommend Lord Teris! Sir Teris' ability was obvious to all. He had served as the Administrator for more than ten years and had outstanding achievements in every term. He had also actively responded to His Majesty's call and went to the Latin region during the war. He bravely served as the Administrator of Ostia, which was at the forefront of the war, and successfully assisted the expeditionary army to victory.
Moreover, Sir Teris adhered to the Law of Diónia. During the Laodisian incident, he was one of the few Sicilian senators who had no dealings with Laodisian. Therefore, I think only Sir Teris can govern the southern part of Sardinia, which has a majority of Phoenicians and is relatively wealthy. Furthermore, there will be no corruption or bribery. "
Brereu's words were very straightforward, and it made Antonios feel a little awkward in the meeting hall. Sedorum also felt awkward. He did not expect that Brereu, who was also a Bruti, would recommend an outsider without consulting him first.
But in fact, although the Bruti were one of the races that joined Diónia earlier, the large-scale rebellion in the Southern Italian War caused the Bruti's power to suffer heavy losses in Diónia. Since Bagylipi's death, Sedorum became the leader of the Bruti. However, unlike Vesba and Hemont, he cared more about the people of Vigo City and did not care enough about the development of other young Bruti officials. Therefore, the cohesion of the Bruti in the kingdom's political arena had always been insufficient. In recent years, as Sedorum grew older, he realized that the Bruti's talents were declining, and only then did he begin to pay attention to this problem.
Although Brereu was a Bruti, he had been in the army all year round and was more familiar with the military elders. Even when he was removed from his position as the head of the Seventh Legion in the Western Mediterranean War because of a mistake, he did not quit the army. After the war, he was appointed by Hilos as the military training adjutant. (In fact, it was an instruction given by Devers, because he believed that any other Legion Commander in Brereu's position at that time would have no choice but to give the order to rescue. Although he had paid a lot of sacrifices, he maintained the hearts of the people of Catania and the morale of the army. Brereu made the right choice, but he was guilty of it. When he was removed from his position, it was to uphold the dignity of military law. Later, he was appointed to make up for what the Ministry of Military Affairs owed him.) He had a better relationship with the military elders than with the Bruti.
And Sedorum felt that with Broom's political skills, it was impossible for him to say those words. He had never seen him interact with Teris in the past. He must have been instructed by the military to recommend Brereu. Was it Felicius? Or Alexis?
Sedorum looked suspiciously at the two military officials who were whispering to each other. Finally, his gaze landed on the other Bruti elder, Sarroux.
Before Cydorum joined Dionia, Sarroux was the successor that he had groomed for Vigor City. However, after Brutti joined Dionia, despite Cydorum's full support, Sarroux's development in the kingdom's politics did not go too well. He was not good at handling political affairs, and after several setbacks, he lacked confidence in managing a region on his own. Sarroux, on the other hand, had always been very interested in commanding troops. However, he had been dissuaded by Cydorum from entering the military as soon as possible. Later, when the political scene was not going well, he wanted to transfer to the military, but he was too old and could no longer start as a team officer.
At this moment, Sarroux was looking at Sedorum anxiously, because Sedorum was also ready to let Sarroux recommend a person — Hesitatus. Although Hesitatus was not a Bruti, he had lived in the Bruti region for decades. Most of the people he had led in the rebellion were still living in the Bruti region, and there were a few talents in the kingdom's political scene. More importantly, Hesitatus had been the chief executive of the important cities in the kingdom many times, and his administrative skills were quite good. Sedorum had worked with him in the Senate for the past few years. When he felt that the Bruti people were not good enough, he wanted to bring Hesitatus and his people into his faction.
However, in the eyes of some elders, Brereu belonged to the Bruti faction. He had already recommended Teris, and now that Sedorum recommended Hesitatus, the elders who supported him would be at a loss. Most importantly, since Brereu had the support of the military, Sedorum did not have the confidence to let Hesitatus win … After thinking about it, he shook his head at Sedorum.
Sedorum's judgment was accurate. Although Teris had a few competitors, he was still chosen with the highest number of votes.
The candidates for the three regional governors had been confirmed. The day's election seemed to have just ended. Because the regions that were to be discussed next were all within the borders of Italy and Sicily, which was what most of the elders were most concerned about. Therefore, many people subconsciously straightened their backs and waited for Antares to speak.
"The next area to be elected is the Eastern Plains of Campania!"
The Eastern Plains of Campania not only included the former towns of Campania such as Enona, Naconia, Rolla, Cesarra, and Pompeii, but also the former towns of the Samonians such as Cautim and Beneventum. It could be said that it occupied the most important and best area in this area, thus achieving the strategic goal of controlling and balancing the Samonians and Campanians. However, because of its importance, there were also many elders who favored it.
The first elder to stand up was Boret. In fact, he was not a very senior elder of Diónia, but he had cooperated with Diónia for a long time. In the Southern Italian War and the Western Mediterranean War, he provided great help to Diónia's final victory. He also took the initiative to persuade his people to merge Potentia, an extremely important Lucanian town to the kingdom, into Diónia. Therefore, since the day he entered the Senate, he was highly regarded and respected by the elders.
Out of respect, the ceremonial officer asked him to be the first to speak.
"I recommend Césima!" "Csima has been the chief executive of Neutum, Elia, Kopsa … and other towns. He's very familiar with the Lucania and Sammonae Mountains. He's also very familiar with the Sammonae people. I believe that as the chief executive of the eastern region of Campania, he'll be able to maintain the stability of that region and prevent the Sammonae people from causing trouble."
Although Boret's words were short, it was obvious that he still had a deep prejudice against the Samonians.
Sarroux finally stood up. "I recommend Hegesittus …"
Gorkis, the former elder of Castellón, also stood up and recommended his good friend, Amicus.
Trifias, the former elder of Heraclea, recommended his good friend, Tudepres, the elder from Metapontum …
Of these referees, one stood out in particular: Mentoticeus, the present president of the College of Dionysia, who, though unlike his good friend Mattiris, sometimes attended the meetings of the Senate (in order not to delay the study of these scholarly senators, it was passed, at the suggestion of Dyfus, that they should be excused from attending meetings except those of great importance), never took part in the election of the governor of the town.
