Chapter 386 Su Cheng? Leader? Absurd!
"Is it intuition again..."
"I always feel that every time Mr. Jacob plans to promote someone, he always says it is intuitive..."
"I remember that when you promoted Mr. Humphrey 10 years ago, Mr. Jacob also talked about intuition, right?"
"Yes, you remember correctly. Ten years ago, when Mr. Jacob promoted Mr. Humphrey, he asked him the reason. He also said that it was vision and intuition."
"Is it intuition and vision again..."
…
As soon as Jacob finished speaking, everyone in the conference room started whispering to each other with grimaces, complaining about Jacob's "vision" and "intuition" that he had talked about countless times.
Even Humphrey, who was sitting in a corner of the round table and had always been expressionless and didn't speak much, now had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking amused.
However, you can't blame them for complaining about Jacob like this. After all, whenever Jacob wanted to promote someone over the years, and when others asked him the reason, Jacob would usually only say: vision and intuition.
Even when Humphrey was promoted 10 years ago, when others asked Jacob why he was so sure that Humphrey was qualified to be the governor of the North, Jacob said almost exactly the same thing as at this time: "My vision and intuition tell me, The position of Governor of the North belongs to none other than Humphrey."
Isel and Albert also had wry smiles on their faces.
"This Jacob..." Albert smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It turns out that Su Cheng was the one who added it..."
"Mr. Jacob really values Mr. Cheng. I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself..." Iser chuckled a few times as if he was self-deprecating. "Jacob really treats Mr. Cheng like a man. He looks after me like a son."
Senior officials in the empire like Iser knew how much Jacob cared about Su Cheng.
First, Su Cheng was given a chance to stand out and put down a peasant rebellion.
Then he helped Su Cheng become a knight, allowing Su Cheng to become a knight in just 24 days.
Many people in the central empire knew how Su Cheng's astonishing achievement of "becoming a knight in 24 days" came about.
They all knew that Su Cheng relied on Jacob's secret operation to become a knight in 24 days.
Without Jacob's help, how could Su Cheng have been promoted to a knight just by relying on one not-so-dazzling military exploit?
In the rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund shortly after Su Cheng became a knight, Jacob won the position of deputy commander of the first army for Su Cheng.
In this year's "Summer Wind" offensive, Jacob even won Su Cheng the position of head coach of the Eastern Route Army.
Now, Jacob has added Su Cheng to the list of candidates for the head of the Michael Knights, and recommended Su Cheng to be the new head of the Michael Knights.
It can be said that since Jacob met Su Cheng, Jacob's care for Su Cheng has never stopped at all.
Many good people even said that Jacob no longer cared for Su Cheng, but doted on him.
Some boring people even started to make up random rumors that Su Cheng might be a relative of Jacob, or that Su Cheng was Jacob's male favorite.
In short, everyone in the central empire knew that Jacob valued and cared for Su Cheng.
However, they never imagined that Jacob would take care of Su Cheng to this extent!
He actually directly recommended Su Chenglai, who is only 18 years old this year and has fought in three battles, including the suppression of the peasant rebellion, the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom, and the "Summer Wind" offensive, to be the leader of the Michael Knights!
Becoming the leader of the Knights at the age of 18... This kind of thing cannot be described as appalling.
"Your Excellency Jacob!" a central minister said urgently, "No matter what you say, it is ridiculous to let Su Cheng, who is only 18 years old, serve as the leader of the Michael Knights!" New 81 Chinese website The fastest updated mobile version: https:/
"Absurd?" Jacob, who looked indifferent, asked back, "What's so absurd?"
"I admit it! Your Excellency Su Cheng is a military genius who is rare in ten years... no, a hundred years! However, the leader of the Knights cannot be saved by using soldiers alone! To become the leader of the Knights, it is not only necessary to It requires military talent that far exceeds that of others, and it also requires qualifications that are enough to convince everyone! Enough management experience! And some other things! I don't think Su Cheng, who is only 18 years old and has only participated in 3 battles so far, is qualified. The position of leader of the Knights of Michael!”
"If Su Cheng becomes the new leader of the Michael Knights, it means that Su Cheng will also become the top person in charge of the northern front of our empire, shouldering the important task of guarding the northern part of the empire! Your Excellency Su Cheng can shoulder such a responsibility An important task?!”
This is the rule of the Britannia Empire.
It has been nearly 300 years since the Britannian Empire was founded. During this nearly 300-year history, the Knights of Michael have been stationed in the north, the Knights of Gabriel have been stationed in the east, and the Knights of Rachel have been stationed in the east. south.
The Britannia Empire has the worst geographical location among the four empires, because the Britannia Empire is the only country that borders the other three empires at the same time.
To the north of the Britannia Empire was the Holy Hiran Empire, to the east was the Frankish Empire, to the south was the Rollin Empire, and to the west was the boundless sea.
Therefore, in order to protect against the empires located in 3 different locations, 3 fronts were divided.
They are: Northern Front, Eastern Front (also known as Rhine Front), and Southern Front.
These three fronts are sometimes called the Northern Line of Defense, the Eastern Line of Defense, and the Southern Line of Defense.
Every leader of a knighthood is responsible for being the supreme leader of the front for which the knighthood is responsible.
For example, Iser is the leader of the Gabriel Knights, and he is also the top leader of the empire's Eastern Front, the Rhine Front. He is responsible for using the Frank Empire as the imaginary enemy and resisting the attack of the Frank Empire.
Albert is the leader of the Rachel Knights and the top person in charge of the empire's southern front. He is responsible for using the Rollin Empire as the imaginary enemy to resist the attack of the Rollin Empire.
And if Su Cheng becomes the new leader of the Michael Knights, it means that Su Cheng will also become the top person in charge of the empire's northern front, responsible for using the "superpower" - the Holy Shiran Empire as the imaginary enemy. Resist the attack of the Holy Hiran Empire.
If you want to say which of these three fronts has the greatest pressure, there is no doubt that the pressure on the Rhine Front is the greatest. After all, the Britannian Empire and the Frankish Empire are mortal enemies, and the national border between the two countries is also high. It is very long, and there are quite a few points that need to be garrisoned and a lot of troops that need to be deployed, so the Knights of Gabriel who are responsible for garrisoning the Rhine Front are the most powerful of all the knights.
However, in terms of pressure, the Northern Front will not lose much to the Rhine Front.
After all, the northern front has the "superpower" Holy Hiran Empire as its imaginary enemy.
Not only must he become the new leader of the Knights of Michael, he must also shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the top leader of the Northern Front.
One can imagine how difficult and stressful this is.
This central minister was not the only one who felt that Su Cheng was simply not qualified to be the new leader of the Michael Knights and the top leader of the Northern Front. Many people in the meeting room also had the same belief as this man. The central ministers had exactly the same idea.
After questioning Jacob so loudly, the central official paused.
Then, he said in a calm voice again: "Start the game"
"Your Excellency Jacob...it might be rude for me to say this..."
"The intuition and vision you mentioned are not that accurate, are they?"
"Although Your Excellency Jacob also has great achievements in successfully promoting talents like Mr. Humphrey, he also has many 'failures', right?"
As soon as the central minister finished speaking, Jacob, who had been looking calm since just now, finally moved slightly.
His expression became complicated.
