"Do you support it? Or don't support it? Say something nice and don't keep talking like this." Mi Longlong said impatiently.

"Since you want to become the chief executive of the region, don't worry. Let's analyze the situation slowly so that we can discuss good countermeasures." Lucias said dissatisfiedly: "If you just want me to have a happy word, okay! I agree to support you, you can go back!"

"Okay! OK! I was wrong, you say, you say." Miron had to give in.

"In theory, it should be no big problem to become the chief executive of the East and West Siri region with your qualifications and political achievements..." said Lucias's ponderer.

"That's of course. If it weren't for Siphorus' cleverness and the people of Trina were early to support Diony, King Davers had a more favorable impression of him, otherwise I would have had the right to fight for the position of wartime governor of Sicily." Miron said indignantly.

Lucias's face changed slightly and he advised him suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense! The veteran of Cyporus was smart and capable. Not only did he make great contributions in the Western Mediterranean War, but he also helped His Majesty with us after becoming the rotating chairman of the Senate, and also provided great help to the kingdom's recovery after the war... If your words fall into His Majesty's ears, your desire to become the chief executive of the region will fail."

"I'm just talking about it here. How can you be foolish and publicize it everywhere? You're too careful." Miron said disapprovingly: "Besides, His Majesty has made a promise today that he will not interfere with the election of the Chief Executive of the Region."

Lycius's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Milon, as your friend, I solemnly warn you that it is best to always be respectful to His Majesty Davers! I have been with His Majesty for a long time in the years I have been with His Majesty for a long time, and he is far more powerful than you think! If he knows that you are disrespectful to him, he has a way to make you never become the Chief Executive of the Region, and I will be far away from you in the future!"

Miron was startled by Lucias's sudden attitude, stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words and said, "How dare I disrespect Your Majesty! I am just... OK! OK! I swear to Hades that I will never talk nonsense again in the future!... Now tell me, how much chance I have to be the Chief Executive of the East and West Siri region?"

Instead of answering directly, Lucias asked, "How many years have you been in eastern Sicily?"

"Including the time I was in Naxos, it should be 8 years!" Miron raised his fingers and counted, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Eight years are indeed too long!" Lucias sighed, "You still remember Antonios and La Odiceen."

Miron suddenly felt a stern: "You mean..."

"I think you should be clear that in order to prevent the incident from happening again, few veterans have been able to serve as chief executives in a town for more than 10 years, or even 8 years. Although you are in two different towns, they are too close to the same area. If you become the chief executive of the East and West Sili region, it will definitely last for more than 10 years... I think when electing, there will definitely be some veterans who also covet this position and will criticize you for this problem, and it will be almost difficult for you to be elected!"

"This..." Milong felt as if he was hit by a blow and collapsed on the chair, but he immediately realized something, reluctantly cheered up and asked, "You just said you supported me in the election, did you mean--"

Lucias smiled and said, "Although it is unlikely that he will become the chief executive of the East and West Siri region, with your qualifications and political achievements, you can compete for the chief executive of other regions. Do you have any intention?"

"Your Majesty just announced this proposal this afternoon. I just wanted to run for the Chief Executive of the East and West Sili Region, and I don't have time to think about anything else... But since there is little chance of becoming the Chief Executive of this region, it's okay to run for the Chief Executive of other regions." Miron quickly figured it out.

"Then let's take a look. Which region's chief executive is more suitable for you? It is easier to win?" Lucias analyzed calmly: "The chief executive of the southern region of Iberia has been determined to be Bagule, the chief executive of the Roman region is Ascesters, and the chief executive of the western region of Sicily... Although His Majesty did not announce it publicly, it should not be you. Then, the eastern and western regions of Sicily...

By the way, there is also a Crotone area. If you want to govern our hometown, some veterans will question it in the venue, saying that you want to be favored. In order to avoid trouble, we will also exclude it. Next...

In the Corsica region, although there are not many towns and populations in northern Sardinia, the mining and smelting of various metals there are very important to the development of the kingdom. Therefore, the weight in the kingdom is not low. Stromboli took office as the governor of Sardinia during the war because of the urgent needs of the kingdom during the war. He was old and lacked energy. He had long been tired of serving in the local area. This time he probably wouldn't be the chief executive of Sardinia again. If you are interested, you can compete. However, you have never had the experience of managing mines before, which may become a handle for your opponent's attack."

"I have no interest in being a mine foreman." Miron said simply: "I have been in Sicily for too long. Since I cannot serve as the Chief Executive of the East and West Sili region, I don't want to stay in Sicily anymore..."

"So, you won't compete for the Chief Executive of the Strait of Messina, Syracuse, and the southern Sicily..." Lucians said, suddenly realizing something, looking at Miron and asked, "Did you already have a goal?"

Miron grinned: "I was also inspired when I was talking to you just now. What do you think of the Chief Executive of Mesapi?"

"The Mesapi area... If it was difficult to manage the people there in the years after the Kingdom conquered it, it was still a difficult task. More than ten years have passed, and the Mesapi area has long become like other areas in Greater Greece, and it is not difficult to manage. In this way, it has no characteristics in the dozen new regions of the Kingdom.

The population of this area is not large, the land area is not large, and there are some fertile arable land, but the output is not within the top 5 of each region. There are also some good animal husbandry, but it cannot be compared with the Bruti and Lucania. Its maritime and land trade are all there, but it is not very prosperous... This kind of thing seems a bit mediocre, and in all regions of the kingdom, the strength can only be ranked in the middle, why do you choose it?" Lucias was a little confused. He knew that Miron was not a person who likes mediocrity. On the contrary, he liked to be proactive in doing things, and choosing the Mesapi area seemed a bit in line with his personality.

"There is a characteristic of the Mesapi area that other regions do not have." Miron smiled mysteriously and said seriously: "It is closest to the Peloponnese Peninsula! It is closest to the Greek mainland!"

"You mean..." Lucias seemed to understand something from Milona's slightly excited face. He was surprised, but shook his head and said, "This is impossible! The kingdom's current strategy is still to develop northward, not to mention that the kingdom has not recovered from the Western Mediterranean War, and the benefits obtained in the war have not been completely digested. It is impossible to start another war in a short period of time..."

"Of course I understand these." Miron still insisted on his own opinion: "But sometimes the situation develops rapidly, not as we want, just like the Western Mediterranean War, we insisted on developing northward, but no one expected Carthage to declare war on us first.

The situation in Greece is complicated. The war has lasted for so many years. Maybe when a city-state pays some price and asks the kingdom to calm the war, it touched His Majesty and the Senate. After all, we, Dionia, are so powerful and so close to the Greek land. These Greek city-states that are troubled by war cannot have no ideas..."

Speaking of this, Miron leaned back and said leisurely in a more comfortable position: "Since the candidate for the Chief Executive of the Roman region has been confirmed, I can only choose the Mesapi area to bet. Maybe war will really happen during my tenure? At that time, maybe I can use it like Siphorus to benefit from it, because the naval base Brindisi is next to Mesapi, and the port town closest to Greece - Odrum is in Mesapi area. Not long ago, the Athenian navy also landed on Kekira Island, so that this Greek island, which is very close to Mesapi area, depends on them..."

"You, although you haven't led your troops to fight for more than 10 years, you still want war so much..." Lucias shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Since you have chosen the Mesapi area, we can do this... First, let someone nominate you as a candidate for the Chief Executive of the East and West Siri region. After the election is failed, when it is the turn of the Chief Executive of the Mesapi area, you will take the initiative to express your willingness to participate in the election.

Since your first failure was not because of insufficient political achievements and qualifications, but because of the unlucky reason of "serving too long", the veterans are likely to support you out of sympathy. Of course, in order to be more secure, I suggest you talk to Anta Oris tonight and seek his support."

"Anta Oris... I haven't had much contact with him for 8 years since I took office in Sicily." Miron seemed a little regretful.

"It doesn't matter. We met Anta Oris before joining Dionia. You and him have had a good relationship over the years. And according to the new region, his mother state (Crimesa) has also been classified as Crotone. We all belong to the same region..." Lucias smiled and encouraged.
