Chapter 5 Invitation to the Training Camp
Marshal's Mansion.
When Flying Squirrel just opened the door of the conference room, a solemn atmosphere came over him.
Generals of the Navy Headquarters sat at the conference table with serious expressions. Some smoked cigars silently, and some nodded at him expressionlessly.
A pair of serious eyes were cast on him, as if carrying an inexplicable weight, which made Flying Squirrel's heart suddenly tighten.
His eyes quickly and obscurely swept over these generals one by one. On the wide navy cloaks worn by the generals, golden epaulettes showed their military ranks.
"Are all of them general officers of the headquarters?"
Such a thought flashed through Flying Squirrel's mind, and he walked in calmly, raised his hand to salute, and said loudly:
"Admiral of the North Sea, Base Chief of the 321st Branch of the North Sea Navy, Colonel Flying Squirrel of the Navy Headquarters, meet all the superiors!"
At this time, Flying Squirrel was no longer the young man in the North Sea.
He had seen so many big scenes since he served as Darren's adjutant. After taking over the position of the North Sea Admiral, his military and political skills had been greatly honed and improved.
After Darren left the North Sea, the Flying Squirrel was able to manage the sea area in an orderly manner, continuously develop and expand the North Sea Fleet, and well balance the interests of the major member states and non-member states in the North Sea... His talent is evident.
In dealing with many things, he was much more mature than the officers of the same level, and had already grown into a person who could stand on his own.
So even if he was facing the scrutiny of so many senior generals at the same time, he did not have the slightest intention of being stage-frightened, but was calm and composed.
Of course, the most important point is of course the confidence in strength.
The acquisition and development of the Thunder Fruit gave the Flying Squirrel the confidence to face the scrutiny pressure brought by many generals of the headquarters.
Here, the Flying Squirrel was observing the generals of the headquarters present, and these senior generals of the headquarters were naturally observing the Flying Squirrel secretly.
They had already heard of the name of the new North Sea Admiral, and they had developed a strong interest and curiosity in him.
Among the four seas of the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea, the North Sea is the sea area that the Navy Headquarters pays the most attention to.
Especially after Darren, the uncrowned king of the North Sea, took office, he managed this originally chaotic sea area like an iron plate, and both the number of pirates and the crime rate of the people dropped to an incredible level.
After Darren resigned as the North Sea Admiral, the successor Flying Squirrel not only did not let Darren's achievements go to waste, but instead managed the North Sea more stably.
For this point, the senior generals present knew the significance of it very well.
"Don't be so nervous, Colonel Flying Squirrel."
At this time, Zhan Guo smiled and said:
"Everyone here is a colleague of the Navy. This time, I asked you to come to the headquarters from the North Sea to report on your work, just to understand the specific process and relevant information of the battle between Darren and the Golden Lion."
"Please sit down. This is not a formal report on your work, and it will not have any impact on your position and resume. We are just chatting and caring about Darren's situation."
Zhan Guo cast an encouraging look at Flying Squirrel, with a relaxed and casual smile, as if he was just chatting about family matters.
But Flying Squirrel did not relax his vigilance.
A slightly restrained smile appeared on his face, and he sat in an empty seat.
"Yes, General Zhan Guo."
"Colonel Flying Squirrel, how long have you joined the Navy?" Zhan Guo asked with a smile.
"Including the period of recruit training, it has been 6 years, General Zhan Guo." Flying Squirrel replied.
"Oh? That was a long time ago..."
Zhan Guo smiled and said:
"You have an excellent resume. From the time you were a recruit to now, you have carried out more than 300 missions and defeated more than 2,600 pirates... During your tenure as the admiral of the North Sea, you have demonstrated extremely excellent governance and military command capabilities..."
He paused and looked at the flying squirrel with interest.
"It is indeed a bit of a waste of talent for a talent like you to continue staying in the North Sea."
"The next officer training camp of the headquarters is about to begin. Are you interested in coming to the headquarters for training?"
When this was said, the generals present were slightly surprised.
Generally speaking, the selection of candidates for the naval officer training camp has an extremely rigorous screening and review process. Even if the candidates' talents and talents have passed the initial screening, they still need to undergo political review by the headquarters.
After all, the training camp cultivates the future reserve talents of the Navy Headquarters. After Darren's "Golden Generation" graduated, it has become the "cradle of generals" in the minds of the Navy.
It can be said without hesitation that the officers who graduate from the training camp will inevitably become the backbone of the navy.
Therefore, political review is particularly critical.
This involves the candidate's recognition of the concept of justice, personal self-requirements and discipline, and various personality issues.
But what General Zhan Guo meant now is that he directly eliminated the ability screening and political review process. As long as the flying squirrel nods, he can directly occupy a place in the training camp and come to the headquarters for training.
The green light belongs to yes.
This is something that has never happened before.
You know, even "monsters" like Sakaski, Borsalino and even Darren had to accept the screening and review of the headquarters before they could join the training camp.
Darren himself has one more level than others, creating a precedent for "internal hearings".
Hearing Zhan Guo's words, Flying Squirrel couldn't help but be stunned.
This is to give himself a little sweetness first...
He instantly understood Zhan Guo's intention.
If it was the previous him, he might be grateful and excited to agree immediately.
It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous. After all, the training camp itself is extremely valuable. If he can enter it for training, Flying Squirrel is 100% sure that his strength will definitely be able to leap forward.
In addition, the training camp itself is also a perfect resume.
In this place, you can meet colleagues with great potential. The relationship between classmates can expand your social network and expand your personal network, which will bring great help to yourself in your future military career.
Not to mention the speed of promotion...
However,
The current Flying Squirrel is no longer the young man he was at the beginning.
He has experienced countless "cadre tests" by countless nobles and politicians in the North Sea.
When someone showed goodwill to him, his first thought was not excitement, but vigilance.
"Thank you for the suggestion of Admiral Sengoku. It has always been my greatest wish and honor to join the training camp."
"However, the situation in the North Sea is treacherous. The great pirate Shiki the Golden Lion has just died in the North Sea. Although he was successfully conquered by Vice Admiral Darren, the news that the Golden Lion appeared in the North Sea still caused panic among many member countries and non-member countries."
"Before the situation in the North Sea is properly handled, I cannot give a definite answer. Please forgive me, Admiral Sengoku."
The flying squirrel said in a deep voice.
The turbulent situation in the North Sea is naturally a lie.
What the flying squirrel is really worried about is that once he goes to the headquarters for training, the development of the North Sea Fleet will stagnate.
If the headquarters sends a new candidate to serve as the admiral of the North Sea, the secrets of the North Sea Fleet may be exposed, and the situation will become very passive at that time.
