Chapter 706: Navy Commander-in-Chief (Part 2)

When he was transferred to the Navy as the Navy Commander-in-Chief, Mude had already accepted his fate.

The Empire did not attach importance to the Navy, and the Navy did not have any major tasks to do. In addition, when he was transferred to be the Navy Commander-in-Chief, he was already 49 years old. He was old and had basically no chance of success.

Mude calmly accepted this appointment and his rough life.

When he came to the Navy for "retirement", Mude also met his best friend at present - Blaise Short, who was also depressed and frustrated all his life and was transferred to be the Navy Vice Commander.

Perhaps because the two were both depressed and frustrated, the two soon became good friends and retired together in the Navy.

Navy Commander-in-Chief - Mude sat in this position for 13 years.

Mude, who completely accepted his fate, sat honestly in the position of Navy Commander-in-Chief, no longer made extra small moves, and no longer expected to have any great achievements.

Mude, who accepted his fate, had a stable life in the Navy for these 13 years.

Two years ago, when Mude was 60 and Blaise was 62, the central government promoted them to the rank of Double Oak Knights, perhaps because they had served as the Navy Commander and Vice Commander for a long time and felt that they should be rewarded.

Mude had completely lost interest in fame and fortune, and now he only hoped to spend the rest of his life in peace.

However, the passage of the "Northern Great Turn" operation rekindled Mude's desire for fame and fortune that was hidden deep in his heart.

This was a joint operation between the navy and the army.

He was responsible for commanding the entire navy, escorting most of the Michael Knights to cross the sea to attack the Holy Hilan Empire, and allowing most of the Michael Knights to successfully land at the Holy Hilan Empire's Blue Water Port.

Blue Water Port was one of the important garrisons of the Holy Hilan Empire Navy, and half of the Holy Hilan Empire's naval forces were stationed at Blue Water Port for a long time.

If most of the Knights of Michael want to successfully land in the Blue Water Harbor, they must destroy the Northern Navy stationed in the Blue Water Harbor.

In other words, whether the Knights of Michael can successfully land on the beach depends on whether Mud can lead the navy to defeat the Northern Navy in the Blue Water Harbor.

The navy shoulders a heavy responsibility in this operation.

If the operation can be successful, it will undoubtedly win a huge military achievement!

Mud is 62 years old this year. To put it bluntly, even if he does not die in an accident now, he will soon die of old age.

This may be the last battle he can participate in in his life.

Mud does not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He has ambitiously planned to show his strength and give his all to win this battle, which may be the last battle in his life.

Mud is very grateful to Su Cheng.

Because if Su Cheng had not planned the "Northern Great Turn", a joint operation between the navy and the army, he would never have had the opportunity to lead the navy to participate in this large-scale operation that was destined to leave a strong mark in history regardless of success or failure before he was about to die.

But while being grateful to Su Cheng, Mude was very envious... or very jealous of Su Cheng.

The closer Mude got to the northern port of Lot and Su Cheng, the more depressed he felt because of his jealousy of Su Cheng.

Mude, who was caught in the rain outside the cabin, turned his head and smiled bitterly at his good friend, the deputy commander of the navy, Blaise:

"I have fought for the country for 46 years and struggled all my life, but in the end, I am not as good as a young man who has just joined the army for a few years and is only 20 years old this year!"

Mu was very envious and jealous of the gifted Su Cheng.

Su Cheng only joined the army for about 3 years, but in these 3 years, Su Cheng stood at a high position that Mude had been longing for all his life but never got.

It took Mude 10 years to finally become a New Laurel Knight, but it took Su Cheng less than 3 years to rise from a commoner to the head of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the Northern Front, sitting in the north of the empire. In terms of status and power, I don’t know how much higher than Mude.

Su Cheng is also the supreme commander of the "Northern Great Turn" operation, in charge of all combat matters.

As a member of the Imperial Navy, he is still subject to Su Cheng’s control and subordinate to Su Cheng, and he doesn’t even have the right to fight independently.

The more Mude thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes.

Mude has been stimulated by this kind of genius all his life.

When he was still young, he was stimulated by Issel, Albert, and Abigail.

When Mude was demoted from a New Laurel Knight to a squadron leader for the first time due to corruption and bribery, Issel and the other three officially began to shine on the battlefield.

The three of them won one military exploit after another at an unimaginable speed.

Mud, who was demoted at that time, was very envious and jealous of these three juniors.

Today, one of his three juniors has become the leader of the Knights of Gabriel, and the other has become the leader of the Knights of Raziel.

It's a pity that Abigail died young, died of illness early, otherwise with her ability, she would have been able to become the leader of a group.

When he was young, he was stimulated by his juniors. Now that he is old, he has to be stimulated by his juniors again.

And this time the stimulation is even more excessive.

Becoming a knight in 24 days, successfully commanding nearly 100,000 troops and winning a great victory at the age of 17, becoming a knight in 289 and becoming the leader of the Knights of Michael in 290...

Every time Mud heard news about Su Cheng, he would feel quite depressed.

He fought for his country for 46 years, dozens of battles, and made many contributions. Why is he not as good as a young man whose military service is not even a fraction of his...

Mud never thought that his ability was only enough to be a double oak knight in the navy.

Compared to Mud, Blaise was more open-minded.

"Think positively, Mude." Blaise counseled Mude, "There is no shortage of gifted geniuses in the world."

"Su Cheng can command nearly 100,000 troops as if they were his own arms. No one knows what his command limit is. Just based on this point, it is enough for you and I to admit defeat."

"Ask yourself, if you were given 100,000 people, would you be able to command them well? You definitely wouldn't be able to command them, right?"

"Give us 100,000 people, it would be difficult for us to just keep them from causing trouble, let alone commanding them to fight a sophisticated battle like the 'Weihe Annihilation War'."

"Su Cheng does have extremely outstanding talents, and it is not difficult for people to accept being his subordinates and being under his command."

"There is no shortage of such gifted people in the world. Some people are born with what we ordinary people desire most."

"So don't compare yourself with such geniuses, relax your mind, Mude. From the perspective of ordinary people, our lives are not too bad."

After hearing Blaise's counseling, Mude's face finally looked better.

After letting out another long sigh, Mude turned around and returned to the cabin.
