Chapter 275 Northern Governor Humphrey

"Elect a new leader of the Michael Knights..." Laika murmured, "This is indeed a very important state matter that cannot be taken lightly..."

Although Laika has no culture, she still understands some basic information about the three major knights of the Britannia Empire.

Before the "Northern Defense Operation in 288" took place two years ago, the Knights of Michael were the "strongest knights" of the Britannia Empire, and their total combat power was the strongest among the three major knights. of.

It is a pity that after the extremely tragic "Northern Defense Operation in 288" two years ago, although they finally won and forced the Holy Hiran Empire and the Britannia Empire to sign a truce treaty, Michael Knight The regiment has also been beaten to a crippled state, with less than 100,000 men left, and even the regiment leader and deputy commander were both killed in the battle.

Because the empire has been focusing on the east and south in recent years and has no time to take care of the Michael Knights who are stationed in the north. Therefore, in the past two years, the empire has not had the energy to rebuild the Michael Knights.

The Knights of Michael have remained in such a disabled state without a leader or new recruits for two years until now.

"Hey, store manager." Laika asked Owen again in a curious tone, "Do you think that if a round table meeting is really going to be held to select the new leader of the Michael Knights, what do you think about the new Michael Knights? Who will be the group leader?”

"I really don't know about this." Owen said angrily, "Manager, I don't know everything. There are so many powerful knights in our empire, who knows who will be chosen to take over as the leader of the Michael Knights? Most of them will choose some veteran knights who are thirty, forty, or over fifty years old and rich in combat and management experience to take over the position of leader of the Michael Knights."

"My old friend, Iser, took over as the head of the Knights of Gabriel when he was in his thirties, and the current head of the Knights of Rachel, Albert, was in 8 Before that, when he was 38 years old, he became the leader of the Knights of Rachel."

Having said this, Owen paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and then continued:

"In the past, some middle-aged and elderly knights must have taken over the position of leader of the Knights, but now, it is hard to say. Now even if a kid with a prefix of 1 suddenly takes over, As the leader of the group, I won’t be surprised or confused.”

Kyler, who has never been very talkative, has not intervened in the conversation between Owen and Laika since just now, and has only been listening quietly.

However, after hearing the words from Owen's mouth, "Even if a kid with a prefix of "1" is suddenly allowed to take over the position of leader," Carol's beautiful eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. .

Then, Kyler, who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke up and asked Irving:

"Uncle Owen, why wouldn't you be surprised even if a young man whose age begins with 1 takes over as the leader of the Knights?"

"Well, because the current Prime Minister of the Empire is that Jacob Churchill. Jacob Churchill, you two should know who he is, right?"

As soon as Owen finished speaking, Laika and Kyler both nodded.

Although he usually doesn't pay much attention to national affairs, Laika still knows who Jacob Churchill is.

And Kailuoer not only knew who Jacob was, but also met him with his own eyes, because Jacob once came to their house to talk to Su Cheng. Kailuo also knew that Jacob and Su Cheng had a very good relationship.

After seeing Laika and Kyler nodding, Owen chuckled twice, and then said:

"It's easy to handle if you know who Jacob is. Then I don't need to introduce who Jacob is to you."

"However, even though you know who Jacob is, you probably don't know some of the characteristics of Jacob's governance, right?"

After saying that, Owen looked at Laika and Kyler with questioning eyes again.

As expected by Owen, both Laika and Kyler shook their heads this time. Neither of them knew what Jacob's political characteristics were.

After seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Owen took the water glass placed aside and drank some water to moisten his throat. After getting ready for a long speech, Owen said:

"The characteristic of Jacob's palace is that you are promoted based on your merit. As long as you have talent, no matter your background or age, you will be promoted vigorously."

"Do you two know Humphrey Walker?" Owen once again asked Laika and Kyler a question.

"Humphrey..." Laika muttered the next name, "I seem to have heard of this name..."

Compared to Laika's confusion, Kyler showed an expression of sudden realization:

"Humphrey? I know him. He is the Governor of the North, right? A very powerful person."

After listening to Kailuoer's words, Owen nodded with a satisfied smile, then turned his head and said to Kailuoer:

"Not bad, Carol, you actually know the name of the Governor of the North. Many people don't even know who a big shot like Humphrey is."

When saying this, Owen specifically glanced at Laika next to him.

After being caught by Owen's gaze, Laika showed a hint of shame on her face and gently scratched her hair.

"Actually, I know that Humphrey is the name of the Governor of the North. It's not because I'm so knowledgeable. It's just because my current hometown is in the North." Kailuo smiled a little embarrassedly, "In my case When I was young, the whole village moved south from the Holy Hiran Empire to the Britannia Empire, and then moved to the northern border of the Britannia Empire, and then settled there until now."

"Huh?" Laika looked at Kailuoer with interest. "Keiluo, your current hometown is in the north?"

"Well, that's right. My hometown is just an ordinary village. It is now located in a remote place in the north."

Speaking of this, Carol paused for a moment, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and then said to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time... I'll go back to the north to see my parents sometime..."

Just as Kyler was talking to himself, Irving spoke up again:

"Yes, as Kellor said, Humphrey Walker is the name of the current Governor of the North."

"Humphrey - he was promoted by the Prime Minister of Jacob."

"Let me think about it... Humphrey seems to have only become the Governor of the North 10 years ago. 10 years ago, Humphrey was already 47 years old, and he was already considered a very old man."

"Before Humphrey was promoted to governor of the north by Jacob, Humphrey was just an ordinary 'horse trainer' in the north."

"Although the name 'Horse Tamer' sounds very powerful, in fact, his responsibility is just to raise war horses."

"In other words, before Humphrey became Governor of the North, he was just a horse breeder."

"'Horse Taming Officer' is actually not a low-level official position. After all, war horses are a very important strategic resource, so as a 'Horse Taming Officer' who specializes in cultivating this very important strategic resource, naturally it will not be too high-level. A low-level official position.”

"It's just that, although the level is not low, it is not too high either."

"At that time, the new Northern Governor was being selected."

"At that time, Jacob, who had already become the Prime Minister of the Empire, immediately fell in love with Humphrey, who was only responsible for raising horses at that time. He believed that he must be the governor of the North, so he overcame all opinions and forcibly Promoted Humphrey directly from an ordinary 'horse trainer' to 'Governor of the North'."

"Jacob's decision is said to have frightened many people, because Jacob's promotion was too crazy. Although promotions have been promoted for a long time, this is the first time that someone has been promoted beyond so many levels."

At this point, Owen found Laika looking at him in confusion.

"Oops..." Owen smiled bitterly, "It seems like Laika you don't understand the concept of changing from a 'horse trainer' to a 'northern governor'..."

As soon as Owen finished speaking, Laika nodded seriously.

"Then let me give you an example. From a 'horse trainer' to a 'northern governor', it is probably similar to how you suddenly changed from an ordinary waiter serving dishes to a city manager in Pendragon. Looks the same."
