Chapter 741 Competition

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Open elections.

Make a public statement.

The higher-ups in the conference room knew each other well. They had a very clear stand on who was who. In such a situation, it would seem petty to play anonymity. Furthermore, to put it bluntly, how to elect them was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the establishment of the war headquarters.

It was a department that could justifiably divide Yurisses ' power.

In the current situation, the war command headquarters could be said to be the core of the entire country. Any other department had to make way for the command headquarters.

In war, nothing is more important than to control military power.

Dabini's own army.

Hoventon also had an army.

However, it could not be said that the two of them were also in control of military power.

This could only mean that their influence had penetrated into the military. The two of them could at most make the generals of the military support them, but it was still impossible for them to transfer troops privately.

At the very least, in name, they did not have the right to do so.

Nominally, the U.S. Military is in the service of the president.

Military generals may stand in various political groups for their future, but the army, the ordinary American army, only recognizes the president.

The generals in the Dabinett camp could express their support for Dabinett on different occasions, but it was impossible for them to bring their troops to serve Dabinett. At the very least, the Mi army in his army would not agree.

Because Dabinett is just a congressman.

In name.

Sometimes this kind of thing was useless, but sometimes it was the most important thing.

Once the command center was established, Dabinett and Hawenton would be given full command of the war, and they would be given the authority to mobilize troops openly.

The two of them had influence that could not be ignored in the military. Several generals were the backbone of their group. Once the two of them had the right to command, the army under the generals would be completely used by the two of them.

President Yurisses's weight will be greatly reduced again.

Therefore, the election today was not the most important thing. The most important thing was to set up this headquarters. This was equivalent to a knife stabbing into Yurisses's body, almost making him unable to recover from his calamity.

But this was also a price to pay.

After a series of failures and heavy losses, Yurisses knew very well that he had to hand over something before he could shut up the mouths of others.

A sweet smell gushed out of his throat. This was the smell of fresh blood.

The expressionless Yurisses gulped down the blood he was about to spit out, his tone cold and emotionless. "Since that's the case, let's begin the election. I agree to set up a war headquarters. Then who will be the commander-in-chief of the headquarters?"

Commander-in-Chief of the War Command.

This was a seemingly prominent location, but it was clearly also a confirmed location.

Sure enough, as Yurisses's voice fell, "Mr. President, although you haven't done anything convincing since the beginning of the war, given your status, we are still willing to trust you and give you a chance. You are the most suitable choice for the commander-in-chief of the war command," said Admiral Devon, who was the first to put forward the idea of a war command.

A cold smile flashed in Yurisses's eyes.

The position of commander-in-chief of the war, It was undoubtedly the result of the balance between Dabinett and Howington, This position holds military power, It would be best to have the president, Otherwise, whether it's Dabinett or Howington, there are variables, but also cause unease on the other side, Now that Yurisses, the president who has lost power, is still in office, It was undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to be the commander-in-chief. In this way, even if the war ended in defeat, Yurisses would be the one to bear the blame. Moreover, even if he was the commander-in-chief, he would not be able to command the forces of Dabinett and Hawenton. After they entered the headquarters, their respective forces would surely lead their own forces.

Therefore, the two of them had never targeted the position of commander-in-chief. Without this position, as long as they could enter the headquarters, they would be able to obtain one-third of the military power of the United States.

This was the ideal situation.

The commander-in-chief was Yurisses, and it was self-evident who the deputy commander was.

Yurisses glanced at Dabinett and Howington, and said calmly, "Do you have any other opinions?"

"I fully agree that Mr. President is the most suitable choice for the position of Commander-in-Chief."

"The commander-in-chief can only be Mr. President. Who else has the qualifications?"

"I have no objections."

"I support Devon's suggestion."

For a moment, a large number of voices of approval rang out. The atmosphere at the scene seemed to have returned to the peak of Yurisses. Every word he said seemed to be the final decision, and no one else dared to refute it.

Yurisses was in a daze. From this large crowd of supporters, he could not tell who was supporting him sincerely, or who had pushed him to the position of commander-in-chief as a scapegoat out of balance.

This scene was really lively.

The dazed Yurisses suddenly became clear-headed. He nodded his head calmly and said, "Since no one has any objections, then the selection of the commander-in-chief will be decided. I will lead the headquarters and lead the Milan army towards the final victory. I will not disappoint everyone."

He paused. Looking at most of the gazes that had gathered on him in an instant, '"Although I can be the commander-in-chief, I can't do anything about the headquarters. I need an assistant, the deputy commander, to help me share the work. Admiral Devon, why don't you continue to nominate a deputy commander for everyone's reference?"

Yurisses's smile was gentle, but there was a trace of viciousness and cruelty in his eyes that only Devon could detect.

After betraying Yurisses for less than twenty-four hours, Admiral Devon's expression changed. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he noticed that the gazes of the people around him were beginning to change.

Yurisses made it very clear.

He needs an assistant.

But I only need one!

It was assumed that there were two deputy conductors, but Yurisses only needed one now and was nominated by Admiral Devon.

Whose name?

Tidabinett?

This should be the most appropriate choice. After all, he had already decided to stand on the side of this Member of Parliament.

However, once Dabinett was nominated, he would offend Hawington first, not to mention whether he could pass or not.

Even Dabinett probably wouldn't be able to protect Yurisses if he betrayed him and was targeted by the powerful governor.

Not Dabinett?

What was it to nominate Howington while he was already standing with Dabinett?

Nominations are inappropriate!

A simple sentence almost pushed Admiral Devon to the brink of despair.

In silence, Dabinett had already turned his head slightly to look over, and his gaze had become somewhat meaningful.

"Mr. President, I think there shouldn't be only one deputy commander. Two deputy commanders are the ideal candidates. We need another deputy commander to reconcile the disagreements when you and the deputy commander are on the left." Davin, who was sweating profusely in almost an instant, sat up straight and said reluctantly, "Mr. President, I think there should be more than one deputy commander."

Everyone present laughed without saying a word.

Dabinett also smiled and turned his head away from Devon.

Devon complained in his heart. He knew very well that, His statement offended Dabinett to some extent, At the very least, he had shown that he wasn't particularly determined to stand on the team. However, he had no choice but to hope that Dabinett would understand. At the same time, he hoped that Yurisses would agree to his request and add another deputy commander. In this way, he could push Dabinett and Howington out at the same time.

A clear smile flashed in Yurisses's eyes and he nodded. "Very good idea. General Devon is right. I really need two assistants."

As Devon's expression turned wild with joy, the president changed the topic and continued to laugh, "Well, let me nominate a deputy commander. Personally, I think he is the most suitable candidate in the current situation. I suggest Marshal Earlaen be one of the two deputy commanders of the war command. As for the other, Devon, what do you think?"

'"..."

"What the fuck."

Devon, whose face instantly turned pale, was almost driven mad.

Nominate Earlaen as deputy conductor?

This was indeed the most suitable candidate.

In the war headquarters, with the Marshal of the Rice Army as the deputy commander, who could say anything?

Who would dare to say anything?

Whoever retorted would offend Atlas, and the result was no easier than offending Hoventon and Dabinett.

"I..."

Devon took a deep breath. Facing Dabinett's gaze, he knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer. He said, "I think Councilman Dabinett can handle the other deputy commander!"

Huo Wenton's eyes turned cold.

Before he could say anything, the group he belonged to had already exploded.

Unlike Dabinett, Dabinett had far-reaching influence in both houses of Congress and in the political arena of the United States, and his influence in the military was slightly weaker. Otherwise, with his status, he would not have been irreconcilable with the legendary general of the United States, Caslott, a few years ago.

Huo Wenton's influence seemed to be limited to California and a few other states, but his influence in the military was far-reaching. Now that the deputy commander of the headquarters did not have his position, the group behind Huo Wenton naturally would not agree.

"I object. Although Congressman Dabinett is capable, I think Governor Howington is better. The second deputy commander should be Governor Howington."

Admiral Scanner, Commander of the Marine Corps!

As soon as the giant of the Howington Group spoke, the others immediately echoed.

"Governor Howington is indeed a very suitable deputy commander, I agree."

"This is the best choice. Does Congressman Dabinett have any experience leading the army? He hasn't even participated in a war!"

"Governor Howington was a Marine. He has served in the army for ten years. He is the deputy commander and everyone in the military will be convinced."

A fierce quarrel broke out.

No one questioned Earlaen's position as deputy commander, because it was completely meaningless, so the number of deputy commanders finally became a battle between Dabinett and Hawington.

Yurisses, who was standing outside, sat down peacefully, but his eyes were filled with a more and more obvious smile.

Noisy, noisy.

The fiercer the noise, the more room he had for manoeuvre.

When he regained control of the situation in the United States, everyone who opposed him here would die, and they would die a terrible death! !

Yurisses watched quietly, his eyes finally falling on the pale face of Admiral Devon.

He smiled gently at the general, his smile revealing an undisguised malevolence and viciousness.
