Chapter 221: Lieutenant quota

"Well then, I promise you. But I also have a condition. If General Li Wei can recruit 6 legions, both of you can become lieutenants. If the number of legions is less than 6, then I can only choose one from you. Up."

   Sailabio said.

   He has a general understanding of Li Wei's plan, so he knows that it is best not to let outsiders control the army.

   "Six legions? No problem."

   Krasu said with a smile.

   "I have no opinion either."

   Luculus said.

   "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

   Sailabio said.

   It didn’t take long before the number of people in the Senate reached the quorum.

   Although the Senate was expanded to 600 people by Sura, there are often fewer than 500 people who can come to the meeting.

   A large number of veterans were sent to various places on business, or were called up as lieutenants to fight in Spain and other places.

   The chief priest offered sacrifices to Jupiter as usual, then looked at the sky and said, "Good luck."

   The convening of the Senate meeting requires watching the signs of the sky. Once it is a bad omen, the Senate meeting cannot be held.

  Although the matter is urgent, I still have to go through the necessary procedures.

   As the convener of the Senate, Anius stood on the stage. He will preside over the entire Senate and control the entire process of the Senate.

   It was the first time to host such a meeting. Facing so many big bosses, to be honest, he was a little nervous.

   But after all, he served as a military guarantor for many years, and he often spoke to the soldiers under him. Soon he adjusted.

"Everyone, the current situation must be known to you. Naples administrator Cobonius responded to Lepida's rebellion against Rome. And a large number of pirates attacked Dragon City, causing the deaths of more than two thousand Roman citizens. At present, Campani Pirates in Asia are rampant, and the people are complaining."

"The Admiral of Campania, Li Wei, made a proposal to return him to Campania to quell the Cobonius Rebellion, and authorized him to form six legions. As for the Capuja garrison, he stayed in Rome to accept the former consul Kathu. Luce’s command, this is our topic today. My support for this is my full support. The reason is..."

  Annius explained his reason again.

   Hearing this, some elders couldn't help but roll their eyes. You are a civilian protector who relied on him. Of course you support it.

  Annius finished speaking and continued: "Next, the chief veteran Valerius will speak."

   The Senate spokes in a strict order. The chief veteran Valerius spoke first, and then the former consul, the current consul, the former justice, the current justice, seniority, and the rank of the current judge, from highest to lowest.

   Under normal circumstances, Anius should ask each elder’s opinion before voting. Of course, debate is indispensable.

   "I think six legions are too many, four legions are enough. The combat effectiveness of the pirates is not very good, four legions are enough to destroy them."

   Valerius said.

"I object. Although the combat effectiveness of the pirates is not good, in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and reduce the suffering of the people, we should mobilize heavy troops to put down the pirates as soon as possible. Although the four legions can defeat the pirates, the number is too small and it takes too long. It hurts more."

   Dorabella said at this time.

   "I agree with the chief veteran, six legions are too many..."

"I object……"

  Annius found that the entire Senate was immediately turned into a vegetable market, with quarrels everywhere, and no order existed.

   At this time, he remembered Serabio's reminder, so he said quickly: "Silence! Secure! Secure..."

After    kept shouting for a long time, the Senate became quiet.

  Some people also nodded slightly to pay tribute to Anius. The civilian conservator had unlimited power to veto the Senate’s resolutions and restrained the Senate too much.

   On the contrary, once the civilian security officer and the Senate join hands, its power is unimaginable, and even the consul has to retreat.

   "Everyone wants to express their own opinions. I think the issue should be taken apart. The first issue is whether Admiral Livy is allowed to lead his troops back to help Campania. Next, I invite Elder Valerius to speak."

   Anius said.

"I agree."

   Valerius thought for a while and said.

   "Now I have Elder Davis speak."

"I agree."

   "Now I have the veteran Gaius Coelius Caldus speak."

"I object."

   "……"

   "Then vote on. Those who agree to Li Wei's return to help Campania, please stand on my left side, and those who disagree, please stand on my right side."

"318 votes in favor and 120 votes against. I now declare that the Senate formally agrees that Admiral Livy will lead his troops back to Campania. The second issue is how many regiments Admiral Livy is allowed to form. Just now, many senators thought it was 4. Is it four or six? Next, I would like to invite veteran Valerius to speak."

   Hearing this, Krasu's face was a bit bad, and he winked at the elders who owed him debts from time to time.

   "I think there are four."

   Valerius said.

   "6."

"4."

"4."

   "……"

   After fierce debate and voting, before dark, the Senate formally passed a resolution authorizing Li Wei to form 4 legions to quell the Campania.

   These 4 legions should include the previous three legions, and at the same time, he must select 6 from the veterans to become lieutenants of these 4 legions.

   After the meeting, Crassou looked upset, he approached Serabio, hoping that Li Wei could make him a lieutenant.

   Luculus looked sad~www.novelmt.com~ He found that his strength was too weak, and this time the lieutenant was 80% out of his share.

   "Pick 6 lieutenants, who should I pick?"

   Inside the Vatican, Li Wei thought.

  The deputy general must be a member of the Senate and must have been a financial officer, which eliminated many people.

   Of course, his subordinates must be selected, but there are too many veterans who come to him these days.

   They all want to earn a share of military merit. They regard those pirates as fat meat delivered to the door. Everyone wants to go up and take a bite. As for Krasu and Luculus.

   "Forget it, choose both of them."

   Li Wei thought.

   Krasu is a real villain, not easy to offend. And this time he has made a lot of effort, so he should be chosen for both reason and reason.

   Luculus is a real star, it is better to be able to win some, two lieutenants are not a big deal.

   In the village where Mimius was located, Father Longus held a copy of the "Rome Daily" in his hand and was giving an impassioned speech in the square of the village.

"People of the true gods, respected veterans. The evil Lebida is leading the army to march towards Rome. He united with the vicious pirates, trying to subvert the system set by Sura, trying to bring the wandering nobles back to power, trying to seize The land in your hands. Tell me, can you promise him?"
