Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

1104 The Appointment of the Head of the Border Army

This is the only veteran who voluntarily gave up the election, but Davers felt that his self-knowledge was particularly rare.

Finally, Trifias was successfully elected.

Next, Xima was elected as the chief executive of the Bruti region, Lattignes was elected as the chief executive of the Lucania region, and the most important region of the kingdom, the Turri region, was the last to be elected (because of the original The Turri region itself is of a regional nature. The towns under its jurisdiction occupy most of the newly-divided Turri region of Davers. At the suggestion of several rotating chairmen, Davers finally canceled the original The administrative unit of the Turi region, and passed in the Senate, so as to avoid future conflicts between the chief executive of the Turi region and the region's chief), originally everyone thought this would be the most intense The election, so many powerful veterans specifically avoided it and competed in other regions. As a result, the first personal name called by the etiquette officer left the remaining veteran candidates with a cold heart: "Master Alexis!"

The Secretary of State Alexis also participated in the election, so he is likely to represent the opinions of the elders of the entire army.

"I chose Lord Silos." Alexis's voice was not heavy, but those who were still lucky were hit hard again.

He was also a mercenary, also made many achievements for the kingdom, and also served as a minister of military affairs. However, unlike Silex, he is also very successful in civil affairs, long before the Western Mediterranean War He has served as the chief executive of many towns, and after he stepped down as the minister of military affairs, he once went to the mountain area of ​​Samone to become the chief executive of Benevento, and his outstanding performance is a rare all-round military and political talent.More importantly, when he expeditioned to Persia more than 20 years ago, he had a close relationship with King Davers, and now he is one of the ministers that Davers trusts.

Therefore, the last round of the competition, which was originally thought to be the most competitive, was completely one-sided. Hilos has obtained more than 70% of the votes and was successfully elected as the chief executive of the Turriy district.

When all the results were settled, the long meeting was finally coming to an end, but the veterans were excited and lost... and there was not much.

Daphs kissed his throat and finally said, "Congratulations to the veterans who have become chief executives of the district. Your efforts in past administrations have been recognized by most of your colleagues today. But the promotion of the post brings only Temporary rejoicing, and you will face a greater test, to manage more towns, to govern more people, there is no doubt that there are many more difficulties, and even some of the administrative experience gained in the past is in the new government It may no longer be suitable. This requires you to put in more effort to find a set of effective methods for governing the area through continuous practice and continuous solution to difficulties, and it will become an experience that people can learn from later. I hope you can use these The regional governance has become more prosperous and will not disappoint the recommendation and trust of other elders to you!

Other veterans who are interested in becoming one of them in the future, I hope you will continue to work hard and get more political achievements to win the recognition of your colleagues and me. I believe that you will eventually be like them and become the chief executive of the region or the minister of the kingdom. The land is vast and the population is large. It needs more excellent administrative talents to manage this great country that is still expanding. You are the elite of the kingdom and must take on this important task!..."

The words of Davers expelled the loss of many veterans, and also ignited the expectations of more veterans. With warm applause, the meeting ended.

A few days later, the elected regional chief executives rushed to their own jurisdictions. As the first chief executives of the Kingdom, the first thing they had to do was to adjust themselves as appropriate in accordance with the framework of the regional administrative agency established by the Kingdom’s Office of Administration. Officials to enrich the entire management structure.

Half a month after the new "Immigration Act" was announced, the recruitment of the Border Defense Corps also began.

Seeing that things could not be changed, the freemen in Wangwang began to make choices for their own future. In the end, many young freemen rushed to Turi, according to the requirements of the notice, to flock to Turiyi Barracks, preparing to pass registration and selection, Become a mercenary soldier in the Kingdom of Dionysia.

At the same time, the newly promoted heads of the two legions also went to their new positions, and Patroclus went north to Rome to take over the fourteenth legion and replace Printos (Printos in the Western Mediterranean He was also outstanding in the war, and Daveus wanted to reuse it, but considering that he was from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade and later transferred directly to the staff, he lacked a better understanding of the Legion’s affairs and a history of serving in the Legion. To avoid being criticized in the future, he was specifically asked to form a new legion in the Latham region after the war. After a few years, his performance was satisfactory, and Daveus considered that it was time to send him back to take charge of the staff of the military department. ).Sextus took a boat to southern Iberia to take over the 18th Army Corps and replace Carlsidis.

After the Western Mediterranean War, Carl Sidis, who was the first captain of the Eighth Army, was promoted to the commander of the army because of his adherence to Serinus. But after all, he was too senior and too shallow, so as not to let his colleagues gossip, At the suggestion of Davers, he took the initiative to apply for the formation of the Eighteenth Army in southern Iberia.

This was indeed the most painful, tiring, and troublesome errand, because at that time the Kingdom of Dionysia was still unable to fully grasp southern Iberia, and most of the territory was still governed by members of the Magonid family, and the people under its jurisdiction It’s not Phoenician, Carthage, or Iberian natives. The Dionysian immigrants seldom came here, so Carlsidis was subjected to a lot of elbow restraints after this, but he still overcome many difficulties. After several years of hard work, the Iberian military barracks was built and the eighteenth army was formed, and the citizens were trained as much as possible in accordance with the requirements of military law.However, it was clearly impossible for Carl Sedis to be as commanding as other legions, coupled with the lack of cooperation of many local officials, resulting in the Eighteenth Legion's defense against the invasion of the territory by the indigenous people of Iberia.

Now that Bagul has become the chief of the New Deal in the region, it will increase its management of the territory and eliminate those unqualified officials. In addition, a border corps will be added to the southern region of Iberia. The legion finally got a good chance to fight back.It is a pity that at this time, Carl Sedis was transferred back to Turri, which may become a big regret for him.

Shortly afterwards, the Ministry of Military Affairs also announced the names of the commanders of the two border corps that the generals had long awaited.

One is Stiflos. In the Western Mediterranean War, he was the captain of the team. However, he was not as dazzling as his friend Patroclus, so he was promoted to the commander of the army two years later, but because he did not have a vacant position, he has been In charge of training team officers at the Turri Barracks, it is finally waiting for the real shortage.

Although in the eyes of many Dionysian generals, the soldiers of the Border Corps are all composed of free men, it seems that they are inferior to the existing legions. However, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs, their regiment leaders and team officers at all levels The rank is consistent with other legions, and at this stage they are all served by regular officers of the kingdom (the captain is not an officer).

The name of the other regimental commander surprised the generals: Hasdrupa, the main member of the Magonid family who was the main force against the Dionysian army in the Western Mediterranean War.

Why is it him?...Many generals were puzzled, and some even quietly asked the military department for enquiries.

The public reasons are: Hasdrubal is a veteran of the kingdom and a senior officer of the kingdom (after the merger of southern Iberia into the kingdom of Dionia, the former Iberian army commanded by Marco was ordered to disband, but consider To Hasdrubal’s prestige among the local people, and to make it easier to form a new army in Iberia, Deverst has specially set up a senior military post for him-the military training chief in southern Iberia, in fact It is hoped that he can call on the local people to actively participate in military training. The real specific affairs are completed by a group of military trainers under his subordinates. However, Hasdruba clearly did not take this position into consideration. The double blow of defeat and surrender and the inability to do so To master the real military power has made him decadent for several years, but this military position has not been removed for him).At the same time, he followed Marco to fight in Iberia for 10 years. He has rich combat experience in the mountains against fierce indigenous people. This is precisely what he needs to borrow in the next border defense operations.

The real reason for Davos to appoint him as the head of the border army is: after transferring several important members of the Margonides family, such as Haka and Hasdruba, from the south of Iberia, the kingdom will not be completely The reorganization of the areas under the rule is not only for civil affairs, but also for the military. Therefore, let Hasdrubal become the head of the Kingdom Army and let him willingly serve the Kingdom before he can use his influence to weaken. The hostility of the soldiers of the former Iberian army officers who lived in that area gave them renewed hope, thus ensuring the stability of the area.

Of course, Hasdruba is indeed a military talent, which is also an important reason for Davis to be willing to reactivate him.However, Hasdrubba is not familiar with Dionysia’s military system and tactics. He must also participate deeply in the recruitment and training of freemen, so as to truly become a commander of the Kingdom of Dionysia.After the banquet that night, in an open conversation with Davis and him, he finally seriously expressed his willingness to make efforts in this regard.
