Chapter 385 The Youngest Candidate for the Head of the Knights (Part 2)

quiet--

After Ge Zewen finished speaking, the royal conference room was quiet for several seconds.

Everyone in the conference room, including Iser and Albert, looked at Gozevin with expressions like "Huh? Did I hear wrongly?"

Maybe he was mentally prepared. Even though he was looked at by so many people with such strange expressions, Ge Zewen still kept his expression calm: "Don't look at me. I didn't say anything wrong, and you didn't listen." Wrong, instead of having the time to look at me here, you should hurry up and take a look at the information that was just handed to everyone. The pile of paper that was just distributed to everyone is the personal information of these three candidates."

As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, the royal conference room immediately resounded with the loud and harsh sound of turning books.

At the end of the small piece of paper that had just been handed out to everyone, there was written the personal information of the 18-year-old Su Cheng that Ge Zewen just mentioned.

"No way..." Iser stared blankly at the portrait of Su Cheng and some of Su Cheng's personal information in his hand.

Isel, who didn't have time to come back to his senses, subconsciously turned his head to look at Albert sitting next to him.

After turning his head to look at Albert, Isel found that Albert was also turning his head towards him with a blank look on his face.

Yesterday, the two made a lot of speculations about who the candidate for the head of the Michael Knights would be.

However, they never expected that he would be among the candidates.

"Iser..." Albert asked in a daze, "In the history of our Britannia Empire, has there ever been a candidate for the leader who is still older than the prefix 1?"

"as far as I know--"

Isser shook his head.

Albert turned back and looked at the information in his hand again.

"Why... Su Cheng will become the candidate for the leader of the Michael Knights... Albert murmured, "Su Cheng is indeed very talented in using soldiers, but... let him be the leader of the Knights. Isn't it too early..."

Even Iser and Albert, who knew a lot about Su Cheng, were shocked and stunned by the fact that Su Cheng became the candidate for the head of the Michael Knights, not to mention other people who were interested in Su Cheng. The territorial nobles and local officials who have no understanding at all.

"Su Cheng... is it true... Judging from the portrait, he is really only 18 years old... so young..."

"Whether he succeeds in being elected as the head of the Knights of Michael or not, this young man is enough to go down in history, right? The youngest candidate for the head of the Knights in the history of our empire..."

"This is the first time I have seen a candidate for the head of the Knights with the letter "1"..."

"Su Cheng... I've never heard of this person before. Why is his name so strange? And he looks a bit like a prairie man from the Far East..."

"It doesn't matter what the name or appearance is. As long as he is loyal to our Britannian Empire, it doesn't matter who he is. The key point is to know what kind of person this person is, what his abilities are, and whether he is qualified to be the leader of the Knights. position."

"Su Cheng...ah, I remembered it. No wonder I always feel like I have some impression of this name."

"Oh? Your Excellency, Duke of North Munster, do you know this Su Cheng?"

"Well, I know. I also attended last year's year-end dinner. When I attended last year's year-end dinner, I heard the name Su Cheng. I heard that he was a rising star in our empire's military circles. , it is said that in terms of military ability, it far exceeds Alyssa and Enli."

"I also know that this Su Cheng is a rare young talent. Not only is he young and promising, he was promoted from a commoner to a knight in just 24 days. He is also very good-looking. At last year's year-end dinner, , many noble daughters, granddaughters, and sisters are eyeing this Su Cheng, hahaha~"

"Well, I know him too. I took my daughter to last year's year-end dinner. My daughter seemed to like this young hero very much. It's a pity that Su Cheng was said to have been with Iser the whole time at last year's year-end dinner. The husband’s daughter, Miss Alisa, sticks together,

So my daughter has never been able to find a chance to get in touch with this Su Cheng. "

"Huh? Are Su Cheng and Miss Alyssa actually lovers?"

"I don't know, but it wouldn't be surprising if the two of them were lovers, wouldn't it? Aren't the two of them a good match? Doesn't Miss Alyssa's criteria for choosing a mate require a knight who is stronger than her? This Su Cheng just meets the criteria. Woolen cloth."

"Hey, stop discussing these boring things at the round table and get back to business."

…

The people sitting around the table chatted and discussed for a long time before one finally had the courage to ask Ge Zewen:

"Your Majesty, why is this Su Cheng among the candidates for the head of the Michael Knights? This Su Cheng is too young. Does he have management experience? Does he have the ability? Does he have the qualifications? No matter how you think about it , he is not even qualified to be the leader of the Knights!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, many people sitting around the round table nodded.

Many of those who nodded knew who Su Cheng was.

However, even though these people knew that Su Cheng was a young talent that was rare to see in the imperial military for a century, they still had many doubts about Su Cheng becoming the candidate for the leader of the Knights.

After all, no matter how talented you are as a soldier, you are still not old enough, your qualifications are not enough, and your management experience is not enough.

To become the leader of the Knights, you can't just rely on your military skills.

Even Iser and Albert, who had always had a high opinion of Su Cheng, were sullen and silent at this time.

However, as soon as the man finished his question and before Gozevin had time to answer, Jacob, who was sitting next to Gozevin, said in a flat tone that contained almost no emotion:

"This Su Cheng was added by me."

Having said this, Jacob paused for a moment, and then continued:

"I believe that Su Cheng must be the leader of the Michael Knights. Su Cheng will be able to lead the Michael Knights to become the strongest knights in the empire again."

After listening to Jacob's words, everyone's faces showed expressions of "Ah, I see...".

Because they all know Jacob's governance style: merit-based promotion, as long as you have talent, no matter what your background is or how old you are, you will be vigorously promoted.

The current governor of the North, Humphrey, is the best example of Jacob's governance style.

Ten years ago, it was Jacob who recommended Humphrey, who, as a small horse breeder, was suddenly promoted to the governor of the north in charge of the north.

After knowing that this Su Cheng was recommended by Jacob, everyone was no longer surprised, nor was it strange that such a young Su Cheng was among the candidates for the head of the Knights.

For all the participants, no matter what kind of person Jacob planned to promote, no one would be too surprised.

After all - he was Jacob who once promoted an ordinary horse breeder directly to the governor of the Northern Territory in one fell swoop.

The person who just asked the question frowned and looked at Jacob: "Sir Jacob...can you please tell me why you are so sure that Su Cheng is qualified to be the leader of the Michael Knights?"

"...my vision, and—my intuition."
