Chapter 1448, heir
"General Saddam, what you just said was so rude. The person standing in front of you now is His Highness the Prince!"
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and a simple sentence immediately caused a commotion among the soldiers.
As the voice sounded, a middle-aged man who was also wearing a military uniform and whose military rank was definitely high stepped forward steadily.
"Your Highness, General Gaddafi, are you sure?"
At this moment, the cannibal veteran who was called 'General Saddam' asked the middle-aged officer with a slight frown on his face.
No wonder he would ask this. The reason is rather embarrassing. To put it simply, their majesties are really fertile. Coupled with their long lifespan and huge harem, leaving aside the princes and princesses who have passed away, as far as he knows,
Their Majesties have a total of one hundred and sixty-three children.
It is no exaggeration to say that even their majesties themselves may not be able to recognize their own sons and daughters, let alone their ministers.
However, General Gaddafi's face clearly showed a trace of dissatisfaction with General Saddam's question.
"Of course I am sure! This is the 72nd Prince, His Highness Hussein Ibn!"
Such a decisive tone obviously did not allow him to question it.
At the same time, the fact that General Gaddafi, who is also a veteran in the army, can express his position in this way is enough to convince him.
In this way, although His Majesty does not attach much importance to these children of his, they, as ministers, must still remain in awe.
"Your Highness, I was rude just now. Please forgive me."
In response, the young man named Hussein Ibn quickly stepped forward and helped the old general who was saluting him up.
"General Saddam doesn't have to be like this, it's just a small misunderstanding."
Hussein Ibn's attitude, coupled with the military talent displayed in the battle just now, made General Saddam's evaluation of the prince skyrocket.
At least compared to the few princes he knew, this seventy-two prince was definitely not a fool. At the same time, the attitude he showed made people feel more comfortable.
In the next few days, it was obvious that this large cannibal army stationed in the border camp could not remain peaceful.
The emperor they were eating was killed in a previous battle with the orc troops.
By the time they found the body from the battlefield, it was beyond recognition.
However, through the clothes on the body, they basically determined the identity of the body.
The situation at this time was special, and naturally it was impossible to hold a funeral with great fanfare. After a short period of grief, the body of their emperor was hurriedly cremated and buried. Immediately afterwards, several military veterans inevitably had to discuss the matter of the successor.
After all, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Even though all of their Dashi territory has fallen into the hands of Raymond Soucy, and at the same time, there are only more than 30,000 troops under his command, but even if they consider
In the future, they will also need to appoint an heir.
At this moment, in the large cannibal camp on the border, several military generals were discussing this matter.
"There is nothing to say. Everyone has seen that among all the princes, Prince Hussein is the most outstanding. The one who can inherit His Majesty's legacy and complete the great cause of restoring the country must be Prince Hussein!"
Inside the camp, General Gaddafi expressed his attitude quite decisively, and many officers around him echoed his sentiments.
Although this includes many officers from the Gaddafi faction, it is enough to show that Hussein Ibn's previous performance earned him a pretty good reputation in the hearts of these veterans.
Even General Saddam, who can be said to have the most seniority among the veterans, nodded in his heart. Of course, from a public perspective, he did not make any statement. At the same time, for the sake of fairness, he also
I asked quite simply...
"Are there any other candidates you would like to recommend?"
However, even General Saddam himself did not expect that by asking, he actually asked a question.
"I recommend the thirty-first prince, Kapasi Ibn."
The veteran who spoke at this time was not very senior, and there were quite a few officers on his side...
"Although Prince Hussein has shown quite outstanding military talents, in the long run, if you want to become His Majesty's successor, what you need most is the ability to govern the country. From this point of view, Prince Kapasi is undoubtedly more suitable.
, As for Prince Hussein, he can be made a general in the army, and judging from the order of succession, Prince Thirty-one also has a higher priority in succession!"
I have to say that what he said is quite reasonable. Even General Saddam, who originally had a clear stance, was slightly shaken after hearing these remarks.
Indeed, although military ability is important, as their Majesty's successor, the ability to govern the country seems to be given higher priority.
Of course, he agreed with this point of view, but Prince Kapasi...
Sure enough, before he could finish thinking about it, General Gaddafi sitting opposite had already spoken first...
"Joke! Who is Prince Kapasi? How many of the generals present don't know this? You said he is a good person at eating, drinking and having fun. I believe him, but his ability to govern the country? Which of your eyes can see Kapasi?
Does the Western Prince have such talent?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many generals immediately agreed.
Among the princes, the thirty-first prince Kapasi Iben is considered a relatively famous one, so even some generals who don’t care much about the prince and princess have heard of his deeds to some extent, but
, it’s not a good thing...
However, it also caused the officers of the two different factions below to have a direct quarrel.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and General Saddam who was sitting there slammed the table.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
As one of the most senior veterans in the military, he still has this prestige.
After calming down the two groups of people who were about to fight, he asked again in a deep voice...
"Are there any other candidates you would like to recommend?"
Faced with this problem, there was silence in the camp.
After waiting for ten seconds and no one responded, General Saddam spoke again...
"In this case, the successor will be selected from the 31st prince Kapasi Ibn and the 72nd prince Hussein Ibn."
Speaking of this, General Saddam's voice paused slightly...
"As for the selection method, our army's biggest problem now is the shortage of food and supplies, and we also need reinforcements to help us regain our lost territory. Whoever can solve these two problems will be His Majesty's heir!"
